Except for Li Youfu and Director Zhou, no one on the farm knew that Mrs. Qin had jumped into the river.

After Li Youfu returned to the farm, after much thought, he decided to tell Director Zhou about Qin Shuzhen's suicide by jumping into the river.

This time it was by luck that Li Youfu happened to be nearby and saved Qin Shuzhen.

What about next time?

What if Qin Shuzhen still can’t get over it?

Don't be afraid of ten thousand things, just be prepared for the worst.

After some consideration, Director Zhou decided to arrange Qin Shuzhen to work as a nurse in the field hospital.

In the morning, Director Zhou brought Qin Shuzhen to the field hospital.

Sheng Kangning is not here.

After waiting for a few minutes, I saw Sheng Kangning and Xiaobao running over from the other end.

Director Zhou smiled and asked:

"What have you been doing? Look at Xiaobao, he's sweating all over."

Xiaobao wiped his sweat and said with a smile: "Running! Mom said running is healthy!"

Then he raised three fingers: "Run three laps!"

After saying that, seeing Pingkang standing next to Qin Shuzhen, Xiaobao didn't bother to talk to the adults anymore. He immediately ran over, took Pingkang's hand, and shouted excitedly: "Brother Pingkang, let's play together!"

Guo Pingkang looked up at Qin Shuzhen, who patted him on the head gently:

"Go ahead, Mom will talk to Uncle Zhou and your Aunt Kang Ning for a while."

Guo Pingkang thought for a moment and shook his head: "Mom, I won't leave, sister, my brother told me to stay with you!"

Qin Shuzhen's eyes felt sore. These children were scared.

Old Zhou sighed softly:

"Big sister, look at these wonderful children! You can't just ignore these three children, right?"

Qin Shuzhen rubbed Pingkang's hair, her eyes slightly red:

"Pingkang, Mommy won't leave. Mommy has a job. I'm working here with your Aunt Kangning. From now on, I'm not going anywhere! Okay?"

Little Guo Pingkang smiled: "Okay!"

"Then do you listen to your mother?"

Guo Pingkang nodded.

Qin Shuzhen pointed at Xiaobao and said, "Let's play here together, Xiaobao. We won't go far."

Guo Pingkang then responded with a smile, took Xiaobao's hand, took out a few round stones from his pocket, and played the stone-eating game with Xiaobao.

Occasionally he would look up at Qin Shuzhen.

After Sheng Kangning heard what Mrs. Qin said, his eyes lit up and he looked at Lao Zhou with surprise:

"Director Zhou, is what Sister Qin said true?"

Old Zhou smiled and nodded: "From now on, Qin Shuzhen will be the nurse of your farm hospital!"

"Sister-in-law Qin, it's great that you can come!"

Sheng Kangning was worried that after Zhou Bowen came back, there would be only the two of them in the field hospital, a man and a woman alone, which would not be appropriate.

With Sister Qin around, I don’t have to worry about this anymore.

Moreover, Director Zhou also said that Qin Shuzhen could bring Guo Pingkang with her when she came here.

In this way, Xiaobao and Guo Pingkang both have playmates and can play together.

"Director Zhou, it's a good thing that you're here. I'll give you acupuncture here today!"

Lao Zhou nodded: "Okay!"

Old Zhou pushed his wheelchair into the tent by himself, and Sheng Kangning and Qin Shuzhen followed behind him, one after another.

Sheng Kangning taught Qin Shuzhen how to disinfect the needle and explained some basic knowledge.

Just started giving Mr. Zhou acupuncture.

While giving acupuncture to Director Zhou, Old Zhou asked Sheng Kangning: "When you run in the morning, are you exercising with Xiaobao or are you exercising by yourself?"

Sheng Kangning smiled and said, "I exercise myself! Going into the mountains to collect herbs is a physically demanding job. If you don't have good physical strength, you definitely can't do it."

"Then running three laps is not enough!"

Of course Sheng Kangning also knew that running three laps around Hongyang Farm would definitely achieve the purpose of exercise for a child of Xiaobao's age, but for Sheng Kangning, it was not enough.

Lao Zhou added: "If you really want to achieve the goal of exercise, I'll give you a tip!"

"Director Zhou, you say!"

"When you run, I'll tie two sandbags on your legs!"

"Sandbags? Oh, that's a good idea. I remember when Lao Guo was on vacation at home, he would tie two sandbags on his legs. I was puzzled at the time and asked him. He said that he had to exercise every day in the army, so when he got home, he had to tie sandbags on his legs. He would tie the two sandbags all day and only take them off when he went to bed at night!"

Sheng Kangning blinked, looked at Lao Zhou and asked, "Director Zhou, can this really achieve the purpose of exercise?"

Lao Zhou nodded: "Of course you can, but don't make it too heavy at the beginning. A two-pound sandbag tied to each leg is enough. When you feel relaxed, you can slowly add more."

Sheng Kangning asked Qin Shuzhen: "Sister Qin, how much does the sandbag on Brother Guo's leggings weigh?"

"I remember it was ten kilograms. The two sandbags together weighed twenty kilograms!"

After hearing this, Lao Zhou said: "Weidong is a good guy!"

Speaking of Guo Weidong, everyone fell silent for a moment.

After the acupuncture, Lao Zhou pushed his wheelchair back home by himself.

Qin Shuzhen then took Sheng Kangning's hand:

"Sister, to be honest, when Director Zhou told me to work as a nurse at the hospital, I didn't agree at first. After all, I don't know how to do anything. But Director Zhou also said that this job is relatively easy and I can also take care of Pingkang.

After thinking about it, I thought that with three children, I had to have an income no matter what, so I came here, but my sister-in-law doesn't know anything. Kangning, don't look down on my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law learns things quickly. I will try my best to learn as much as possible! Sorry to cause you trouble in the future!"

Sheng Kangning smiled: "What's the trouble? Look outside."

Qin Shuzhen looked in the direction of Sheng Kangning's finger and saw her son Pingkang having fun with Xiaobao.

Sheng Kangning smiled and said, "Sister-in-law Qin, you see, after you came, Xiaobao has company, and I have company too, what a great thing!"

"I'm glad you don't dislike me!"

After Qin Shuzhen finished speaking, she was silent for a while, then suddenly looked at Sheng Kangning and asked, "Kangning, you studied Chinese medicine and can diagnose pulses. Can you...can you help me take my pulse?"

"Sister Qin, are you feeling unwell?"

Qin Shuzhen shook her head: "I just want to confirm one thing."

"Give me your hand!"

Qin Shuzhen stretched out her hand, and Sheng Kangning put his fingers on Qin Shuzhen's wrist. After a moment, he looked at Qin Shuzhen in surprise: "Sister-in-law, you..."

Qin Shuzhen sighed:

"That's for sure, Kang Ning, I'm pregnant! Tell me, what should I do? This child came at the wrong time. If Lao Guo were still alive, he would definitely say that since I'm pregnant, I should give birth to the child. He likes girls and says that girls are close to their mothers and will be good to me when they grow up. But now he's gone.

There are three of us, mother and son, left, plus this baby in my belly. I really don’t know what to do?

I wanted to abort him, but I couldn't bear to do it. This was Lao Guo's child. He was gone, but he left me a child!"

When Qin Shuzhen said this, tears welled up in her eyes. If she hadn't tried hard to hold back, the tears would have rolled down.
