Lei Xing really let go completely this time.

He loved Su Tao so much that he was afraid of ruining her happiness, so he would rather withdraw himself to fulfill her wish.

He grabbed Shi Zijin's collar and roared:

"If you let her down, I will kill you! I will definitely kill you!"

He wanted to punch Shi Zijin again, but when he thought about how Su Tao would feel bad for him later, he had to endure it and walked away.

Su Tao trotted over and saw Shi Zijin's face covered in blood and his nose was crooked:

"You—hey, go find Dr. Zhong."

Shi Zijin seemed to feel no pain, so he wiped it off casually and asked her, "Really?"

Su Tao pulled her to find Zhong Gaoyi: "What's true or false? Hurry up and leave. The blood is flowing into the clothes."

"You love me so much that you can't give even a little to others, is that true?"

Su Tao: "I didn't say that."

"You didn't say that, but you admitted it."

"You're so annoying. I don't care about you anymore. Just bleed to death here."

Having said that, he really turned around and left.

Shi Zijin had no choice but to lower his head and follow him stickily:

"Anyway, I've remembered it. I'm willing to take this punch."

Taoyang Clinic has become Taoyang Hospital, occupying ten times the area it did a year ago and employing nearly 500 medical workers, including Chenxi, a young medical assistant.

Although Chenxi is young, she has full talent and skills for studying medicine. Even Zhong Gaoyi praised her as a rare material for studying medicine, with a good memory and carefulness. Now she can follow Zhong Gaoyi to perform slightly difficult operating tables.

Chenxi bandaged Shi Zijin briefly and said, "Your nose is a little dislocated. Come back tomorrow to see my Uncle Zhong. He has to accompany my mother today."

Su Tao was puzzled: "What's wrong with your mother that she still needs company?"

Zhuang Wan is a female office queen. Usually, work comes first and husbands come last. It is rare for her to need her husband's company.

Chenxi suddenly smiled shyly, leaned over and whispered in Su Tao's ear: "My mother seems to be pregnant."

ah?

Are you pregnant?

Su Tao was stunned: "Is this true?"

Zhuang Wan is 37 or 38 years old this year. If she gets pregnant, she will be an elderly mother.

Chenxi shushed twice: "Nine out of ten, my uncle Zhong is accompanying her for a checkup today."

Su Tao thought about it and realized that although it was a bit dangerous for an elderly mother to give birth, it shouldn't be a problem with Lao Zhong around. It just so happened that the two of them had a child, so their relationship would be more stable.

The morning light was full of anticipation and melancholy, and it prayed to the sky:

"I hope it's a sister. It must be a sister."

Her younger brother was so annoying. Even though Chen Yang had become successful now, not only was he famous for his accurate marksmanship, but he had also awakened his special abilities, every time she saw Chen Yang, she still couldn't help but pinch his head.

Two months later, Su Tao received the good news that Zhuang Wan was really pregnant.

Zhuang Wan was still very embarrassed. At her age, she was pregnant with a pearl, so she only told Su Tao and no one else.

Su Tao congratulated her happily, but then she thought of Meng Xiaobo. He had a daughter half a year ago, and he loved her like the apple of his eye. His personality was even more innocent than before.

Taoyang's fertility rate seems to be gradually increasing.

I also heard Minister Xu say before that after the popularization of vaccines, the national fertility rate has increased significantly.

In the past, when adults were barely able to survive, they would never think about having children.

Things are different now. Everything is developing steadily, life is guaranteed, and there are more and more children who represent hope.

I just feel sorry for Manman. She must feel bad watching her friends around her getting married and having children one after another this year.

Two days later, Jiang Yu suddenly asked to take a long vacation.

He wanted to take his sister Jiang Tong's belongings and return to the place where they were born.

Su Tao agreed immediately and offered to take him there. It just so happened that she was planning a road trip in a few months to visit all the places she had wanted to go.

Go north to Changjing, go south to the coast, search for the border in the west, and cross the sea in the east.

Take a good look at her, she has worked hard to build the motherland for a year and has traveled all over the country.

Jiang Yu smiled and nodded, then looked into the distance, Tongtong, are you doing well in the other world? You must be doing well.

Another month passed slowly, and Su Tao began to feel bored. It seemed that she had used up all the laziness she should have in the past twenty years.

It's time to prepare for travel.

Shi Zijin certainly couldn't fall behind in such a matter, so he simply asked Dongyang for a half-year leave and squeezed into Su Tao's RV.

The RV was given to her by Manman, and it came in very useful on this long trip.

On the day of departure, Shi Ziyue, who had not been seen for a year, came back like an African black man.

Su Tao looked at her in amazement, trying to find the shadow of the beautiful little Zi Yue in this dark-skinned tomboy.

"Help me! How did you become like this? Didn't you say you were going abroad? Were you tricked into working illegally digging coal?"

A year and a half ago, Ziyue went out for practice with the teachers of Dongyang Comprehensive School. Because of her good performance, she was selected to study in Changjing. Half a year later, she awakened her special abilities and was sent abroad as a trainee garrison.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it was all thanks to Shi Zijin that she was able to gain practical combat experience without having to go to the battlefield.

And it sounds good to say it, it means going abroad as reinforcements, establishing international friendly relations, and building a good international image for the Federation.

Shi Ziyue scratched his head: "Is it really dark?"

Su Tao nodded: "If you don't believe me, ask your brother."

Shi Ziyue showed her brother a row of white teeth, which made her face look even darker.

Shi Zijin couldn't bear to look directly at it: "Are you leaving again after you come back this time?"

Shi Ziyue shook her head: "I'm not leaving. The higher-ups said I can go directly to Changjing to take up my post. I'll have a military rank, hehehe."

After saying this, she suddenly patted her brother's arm:

"I heard you were seriously injured before, and they didn't tell me because they were worried I wouldn't be able to handle it. I eventually found out, but I felt like you'd be fine. From childhood to adulthood, you've almost died every time, but you always survived. I'm not worried at all."

Shi Zijin smiled and said, "Don't call me when you need money in the future."

Shi Ziyue rebelled on the spot and said to Su Tao, "Sister Taozi, can I call you?"

Su Tao: "Come on, come on, come on, if you need money, call me."

A week later, Shi Ziyue received a big red envelope from Su Tao and happily went to Changjing to take up her post. When she left, she couldn't help but tell her brother:

"Brother, you can be stingy with me, but you can't be stingy with me, Sister Taozi."

Shi Zijin: "I'm only stingy with you."

Shi Ziyue hummed, hesitated for a while, and suddenly said:

"Brother, don't go to the front line anymore. I'm grown up now, I'll take your place."

Shi Zijin was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Okay."
