In her past life, Sheng Kangning was the classic naive girl—easily manipulated by her scheming stepmother and half-sister, blindly following their every move.
Branded with a ruined reputati...
It was getting late, so after Zhou Shen moved the things in the car into the house, he went to the cafeteria.
By the time Zhou Shen came back with food for the three of them, Sheng Kangning had almost finished cleaning up the room where she and Chu Nanzhou lived.
In fact, there was nothing to clean up. The room was fully equipped, even the sheets and quilt covers were made out.
Sheng Kangning just spent some time packing their luggage.
The three of them sat down to eat.
Looking at the food on the table, Sheng Kangning finally understood why Chu Nanzhou and the others didn't cook for themselves.
The meals in the cafeteria are quite rich.
Two dishes, one soup, and a big steamed bun.
Sheng Kangning sniffed and found it tasted good.
So Sheng Kangning decided not to make things difficult for himself and just eat in the cafeteria for the next half month here!
While eating, Zhou Shen glanced at Chu Nanzhou, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
Chu Nanzhou raised his eyebrows:
"If you have something to say, just say it!"
"Boss, I met Li Aifang from the clinic on the way back! She asked about you! She didn't ask anything, just how long you would stay this time, and she was concerned about your injuries. She said if you need to change the dressing or something, you can go directly to the clinic and she can help you!"
After saying that, Zhou Shen's face fell.
When returning to the military area, Li Aifang was the person he least wanted to meet. However, on the way to the cafeteria, the first person he met was her. He was entangled by that woman all the way. Li Aifang's original words were not like this. They were much more explicit than what Zhou Shen quoted.
This is not Sheng Kangning here.
How could Zhou Shen dare to say the original words?
Instead, Sheng Kangning was curious.
Just by hearing the name, you can tell that Li Aifang is a woman.
The woman asked Brother Chu, could it be another admirer?
Chu Nanzhou didn't care much and said "Hmm!": "She hasn't returned home yet?"
Zhou Shen shrugged: "It looks like she won't go back, so just hope she gets married soon! Don't worry, boss, I've already rejected her for you!"
Sheng Kangning asked:
“How many doctors are there in the clinic?”
Zhou Shen: "There are only three people in our clinic, two doctors and one nurse."
Sheng Kangning said, "Oh," and then asked, "So is the Li Aifang you just mentioned a doctor or a nurse?"
Zhou Shen glanced at his boss before replying to Sheng Kangning:
"Nurse! She's called a nurse, but she's actually helping the two doctors in the clinic. Li Aifang never went to school, let alone studied medicine. She's Captain Li's sister."
Later, I asked Zhou Shen privately and found out some things about Captain Li and Li Aifang.
Captain Li is not well educated, but he is a good fighter. Captain Li was promoted during the war. It is said that he joined the army at the age of fifteen. Later, due to his lack of education, he is still only a colonel.
He is already in his fifties this year and will retire in a few years, so there is no room for him to move up.
His lover is different from him. Captain Li’s lover is called Lin Fengqin, the daughter of Captain Li’s leader back then, a proper city girl.
Although the two were married, Lin Fengqin disliked Captain Li because he was a rough man.
The couple had little in common and had been apart for most of the years.
Lin Fengqin is not used to the life here. She usually lives in the city and never comes here.
The couple has three children. The eldest is serving in the army, the second is a girl who is in the hospital, and the youngest is a son, who is considered a late-born child.
About ten years old.
A few years ago, Captain Li's wife Lin Fengqin went on a business trip for work and was away for two years. She had no time to take care of the children, so Captain Li brought his younger sister Li Aifang from the countryside to help him take care of the children.
The younger son now goes to school in the city and lives with Lin Fengqin.
Li Aifang had nothing to do and didn't want to go back to the countryside.
Captain Li arranged Li Aifang to work at the health center.
Because of her brother, this person is quite ambitious and wants to marry a soldier.
Young and promising soldiers like Zhou Shen and Chu Nanzhou are Li Aifang's targets.
Especially Chu Nanzhou.
Sheng Kangning had never met Li Aifang, but he remembered her.
Worried that Sheng Kangning would continue to ask about Li Aifang, Zhou Shen quickly introduced two other doctors.
One of them is called Xu Zhengping, who is in his forties. He lives in the city and stays at the military region for three days a week. The other doctor is called Zhang Chao, who is in his twenties, a military doctor, and a classmate of Tang Shigang.
The two doctors take turns on duty at the health center.
Zhou Shen knew Chu Nanzhou's plan. Before, when they were in the hospital, Chu Nanzhou called Political Commissar Sun and mentioned on the phone that Sheng Kangning was going to the health center to help for half a month.
So Zhou Shen naturally asked about this matter.
Unexpectedly, Sheng Kangning shook his head: "I don't plan to go to the clinic."
Zhou Shen subconsciously looked at his boss Chu Nanzhou.
Chu Nanzhou: "Corning has his own considerations!"
Zhou Shen asked: "Kang Ning, what are your plans for the next half month?"
Sheng Kangning did not answer this question, but told them about studying Chinese medicine.
From ancient times to the present, Chinese medicine has always started with apprenticeship.
After picking, boiling and drying the medicine, one will learn some basic theoretical knowledge of Chinese medicine. The introductory medical books must be memorized thoroughly, and only when one's level reaches a certain level will one be qualified to diagnose patients.
At this time, diagnosis must be conducted under the guidance of a teacher, and one cannot practice medicine independently.
Only when one’s level reaches the level where one can diagnose diseases independently can one be considered a master.
Zhou Shen exclaimed: "What is your current level?"
In Zhou Shen's opinion, Sheng Kangning's level is much better than those doctors in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of the Military Region General Hospital. Isn't that enough?
Sheng Kangning smiled and said, "I have studied medicine with my mother and grandmother for more than ten years, but I am only a little better than the entry level. Before going to the countryside, I was still thinking that if I had the opportunity, I would continue to study. If the college entrance examination was resumed one day, I would apply for the Chinese Medicine University. But now after experiencing these things,
My thoughts have changed.
Do you know how many medical books the Ling family has accumulated over hundreds of years of practicing medicine? All the books I have read over the years are less than one-tenth of that collection, so..."
Sheng Kangning looked at the two of them and said seriously, "I don't want to waste my time and energy on other things. In the next half month, I want to read more books."
Zhou Shen scratched his head: "Isn't it boring to read all the time?"
"No! I don't have to read all the time. Besides reading, I can also go around the surrounding area. There are so many mountains here, there must be a lot of herbs! It's a good opportunity to go to the mountains to pick herbs!"
After Sheng Kangning finished speaking, he tilted his head and looked at the two of them: "Are there many military wives here? Should I take some time to meet them?"
Zhou Shen shook his head: "This place is too remote. Many military wives can't stay here after a few days. Plus, there are no schools here, so families with children send them to school in the city. So those military wives are willing to live in the city, so it's convenient to pick up and drop off their children to school, and it's also convenient for shopping."
