Chapter 139: Make it up to him. She is a coward and doesn’t want to lose him…

Southwestern border.

Xiao Ding did not get off the bus at the address written on the application form.

They also changed the letter of introduction, identity documents, files, etc.

Her name was Ding Shuiwa. Add three drops of water to Ding, and it became Ting; add a dot and a short dash to Shui, and it became Yong; add a factory to Wa, and it became Ai.

After making the changes, she also changed the place name, adding a radical and a stroke, and it happened to be the small ravine where the place landed.

Looking at her husband's name, his name was Wu Wanglin. Old Wu was superstitious about birth dates and the fortune teller said that the child lacked the character "wood". Old Wu was too lazy to think about it, so she used the character "Lin". Later, when she started a family, she was afraid that her son would be unfilial to his stepmother, so she added his stepmother's surname.

Xiao Ding also changed it for him. Stretch the single-person radical of the character "五" downwards, add two more strokes, and it becomes "木" (wood). Then add a "口" (mouth) after the character "五" (mouth). From now on, her husband's surname will be "伍".

Adding a dot to the character "王" (king) makes it "玉" (jade); adding "林" (lin) makes it "森" (forest).

"Wu Yusen, you will be called this from now on." Xiao Ding silently recited the name, it sounded so nice.

Wu Er also liked it, but he still didn't understand: "Why is it like this?"

"We don't want anyone to find us again, especially my parents. Are you angry?" Xiao Ding felt uneasy and didn't want him to see it.

She also thought about confessing, but she didn't dare now because she was afraid that he would not want her.

This is the only thing she can hold on to now, and she doesn't want to lose him.

She would spend the rest of her life making up for him, giving birth to many children for him, making many delicious meals for him, mending his clothes, and taking care of his headaches and fevers.

She was not afraid of anything except that he would not want her.

She wanted to start over in this strange world.

Wu Er didn't ask any more questions. If she said yes, then it was true. He had some idea in his heart that she was hiding something from him.

But it doesn't matter, he is willing to wait and give her time.

The two went to the local area to report, but the locals had not heard that anyone was coming. Fortunately, there was a shortage of medical staff and teachers there.

Since there are two city people willing to come here and endure the hardships, that is what we wish for.

I quickly reported to my superiors and saw that all the procedures were complete. It might be that they did not receive the notice. In short, I quickly settled them down.

Soon, the villager took them to a stilt house and said in broken Mandarin, "This is the best stilt house in the village. The doctor before couldn't stand the hardship and used connections to go back. How long can you...how long can you hold on?"

"We're not leaving. Thank you." Xiao Ding carried his luggage upstairs and looked around. It was quite clean and indeed worthy of the word "best".

She put down her things contentedly, and worried that Wu Er was tired, she quickly tidied up and let him lie down.

Wu Er was still worried about her miscarriage and couldn't bear to let her work so hard, so he insisted on going with her to fetch mountain spring water and to make a fire to cook.

Xiao Ding was so moved that he turned his back and started crying secretly.

Wu Er didn't ask, he just hugged her from behind and kissed her neck: "I know you must have been wronged. Do you want to talk to me?"

"Can you give me some time?" Xiao Ding turned around, buried her head in his arms and burst into tears.

Wu Er didn't force her and patted her on the back: "Come, eat first."

After eating, we went to fetch some mountain spring water and brought back some branches and vines to build a bathing area next to the stilt house.

I worked until dark and it was just time to take a shower.

The pots, pans, and utensils were all new, and there was also a big red bucket. Xiao Ding filled the big red bucket with hot water and cried while washing.

After washing, I was tired and went upstairs to wait.

When Wu Er came down, he looked upstairs silently and sighed.

He had no idea what was going on. Was she heartbroken over the miscarriage? Never mind. Since he was already here, he should just get by. He would comfort her later.

It's your own choice, so you have to take responsibility and accompany her through all the difficulties.

After going upstairs, he was afraid of disturbing Xiao Ding's sleep, so he walked very carefully.

As soon as he lay down, Xiao Ding turned around, hugged him, and refused to let go, even wanting him to trap her legs so that she would feel safe.

Wu Er still didn't ask anything, thinking that her body was still wet, so he just hugged her and slept with her.

It rained at night, and the small ravine was shaking with earth-shaking noises. It seemed as if the sky was about to collapse and the earth was about to collapse, but the small stilt house remained motionless.

There is peace and tranquility.

Xiao Ding was awakened by the sound of wind and rain, and became more dependent on the man in front of her. She buried her face in his chest and was reluctant to separate.

The next morning, the sky cleared up. Xiao Ding cheered up, got up happily, washed, made breakfast, and went to work at the village clinic.

Wu Erze dressed neatly and went to teach the children.

Maybe it was because he had lost two children in a row, or maybe it was because he was born to like children, but when he arrived in the classroom and saw those eager and expectant eyes, he actually felt that he had come to the right place.

Although he had no experience in lecturing, he spoke very fluently and naturally, telling the children everything he had learned in his life, starting from the beginning, slowly and gently.

When the get out of class was over, all the children gathered around and asked the teacher's name.

Wu Er almost made a mistake, so he turned around and wrote three powerful characters on the blackboard: Wu Yusen.

A child didn’t know the first word, so I asked him seriously.

Wu Er then read it out loud: "The wu in the wutong tree is wuyusen."

"Wow! The teacher's name is so nice!"

"This is the first time I've seen someone with the surname Wu. Hey, awesome!"

"Teacher, are you pregnant? Is the baby's last name Wu too?"

Wu Er smiled and said, "The teacher will have a baby, but I don't know the baby's surname. I'll have to wait until I get back and ask your mistress."

"What's your master's wife's name?"

"Master's wife, her name is Ting Yongdi." Wu Er turned around and wrote down his wife's new name.

The children praised and envied the teacher again. They had never seen anyone with the last name Ting before. Both the teacher and the teacher's wife were so special.

When I got back to the stilt house after get off work, lunch was already being prepared.

Looking at the curling smoke, Wu Er felt an inexplicable tenderness in his heart. Isn't this great? No more sleeping alone, and no more worrying about his colleagues in the hospital bullying Xiao Ding.

Just live like this, and return to the freedom of nature.

After adapting for a while, Wu Er became more and more obsessed with this kind of life. It would be even more perfect if he had a child.

However, Xiao Ding had lost two children in a row, which was too harmful to his health. He decided to take it easy and have another one slowly.

So after Xiao Ding was clean, he refused to have sex with her.

"Let's talk about it after you recover!" After all, there are no contraceptive measures these days, and he has not had a sterilization.

Xiao Ding felt guilty and tried to compensate him in other ways.

Wu Er was a little surprised, but he didn't stop even though he was in high spirits. After all, he had been holding it in for too long.

Afterwards, I asked, “Didn’t you dislike it before?”

"You wanted a child before, but now you're worried that I'll get pregnant and it will hurt my body." Xiao Ding is a nurse and knows that if she gets pregnant now, she will most likely miscarry, so she is willing to try other methods as long as he is happy.

Wu Er didn't want to be happy alone, so he tried a new way for her.

Xiao Ding grabbed his hair and for a moment, thought about confessing it now, but no, no, she had to wait until they had a child.

She was a coward and didn't want to lose him.

Yao Zhizhi took Lao Wu back to the city and arranged for her to live in a house in San Tiao Hutong.

Because there was no bed there, we had to arrange some.

Lao Wu felt bad and followed around, keeping track of the accounts in a small notebook.

It’s as big as a bunk bed and can accommodate a small stool, so nothing can be left out.

After counting the money, she was stunned: "Where did you get so much money, sister?"

"We made the money from publishing the magazine. At that time, they were unwilling to take the risk themselves, so I and another friend of mine contributed part of the money." Yao Zhizhi mentioned it briefly but didn't go into details.

Don't show off your wealth.

Lao Wu was immediately motivated and asked, "If I expand my market outside of the city, will I be able to afford these things?"

"Of course I can, but don't worry, I'll find someone to help you." Yao Zhizhi was worried about her injury. If she ran into a bad guy, it would be terrible. The expert they had scheduled wouldn't be back until next week, and Lao Wu couldn't stay idle, so he asked her to try a nearby place first.

He asked Yao Taotao to send a message to Yaowangzhuang, asking Zhao Maimiao to come and go to the market with Lao Wu.

It will be the 75th anniversary soon. The tide of the times is beckoning. If they take the initiative and spread the influence of their publishing house, they will be able to fly freely in the wind of the times. How wonderful it is.

As for Zhao Maimiao's identity, she had also thought about it.

So she asked Lao Wu, "Are you in the same household registration book with those two old guys?"

The fifth brother shook his head. "No, they kept us in the original household registration book so that my second sister and I could receive the pension. The head of household was written in my grandfather's name, but after my grandfather passed away, it was changed to my second sister. After my second sister got married, she moved to my brother-in-law's house. Now I have an independent household registration."

Yao Zhizhi smiled: "Doesn't that mean you are the head of the family?"

"You could say that." Lao Wu thought about it seriously and laughed. "I was so stupid. If you hadn't asked me, I wouldn't have paid much attention. I can manage it myself!"

Yao Zhizhi was very happy: "That's easy. I'll ask Zhao Maimiao to come and keep you company. You can tell her that she was your parents' goddaughter when they were still alive. She's here to stay as a companion. You can go on business trips with Zhao Maimiao in the future. She's a good fighter and can protect you. You're more attentive than her, so you two complement each other perfectly."

"Okay, no problem." Lao Wu now completely recognized the true colors of the two old guys, and she would listen to whatever Yao Zhizhi said.

When Yao Zhizhi returned home in the evening, good news had already come from her third brother: Ding's parents were caught red-handed for bribery and Gong Jiabao was caught accepting bribes.

Yao Weihua also played a trick and made an anonymous call to Director Yuan's office, accusing Director Yuan of protecting his own officials.

Director Yuan was so angry that he immediately took people to the scene.

Last time, it was Gong Jiabao’s immediate superior who insisted on giving false testimony, and Director Yuan was also angry, but this time he can’t escape.

Those who give bribes and those who take bribes will go in together.

Yao Zhizhi was laughing to death. She even went to find Ding Laowu to help deal with them, but in the end she didn't have to do anything at all.

I couldn't help but praise him: "Brother, you are really good! You can even make anonymous calls!"

Yao Weihua was very proud: "Of course! How can I not do my best to complete the task you assigned me?"

Yao Zhizhi really needs to learn how to use provocation, it works!

It motivated the big boss to take action personally, and it worked!

He quickly praised: "Third brother is awesome! A pioneer in punishing corruption!"

"Uncle is awesome! A pioneer in punishing corruption!"

Yao Weihua's old face turned red, and he couldn't stop smiling as he looked at the little star who was mimicking human speech.

The next day, Zhao Maimiao came and saw Ding Laowu. He was stunned: "What happened to your face?"

"I did it on purpose." Lao Wu smiled and hurried to pour tea.

Zhao Maimiao screamed, "But if you go out to promote the magazine, you'll scare the children. Wash it quickly."

"No rush, I'll wash it later." Lao Wu smiled and brought over the hot tea. "Editor-in-Chief Yao said she's made an appointment for me with a Chinese medicine doctor who can correct bones. He'll come next week. Let's go to Shanxi first in the next few days. We haven't got a single order there yet. Do you think we can leave tomorrow? I can't wait, I want to show her what we can do!"

"Okay, then tomorrow! Can we get the letter of introduction?" Zhao Maimiao did not forget about the procedural issues and paid attention to them carefully!

Lao Wu smiled and nodded: "Editor Yao is ready! Let's go tomorrow!"
