"Hmph, you little bastard. You're just daydreaming and talking nonsense all day long. You're talking about business right away. Aren't you afraid of being caught and reported?"
The old lady stared at Shen Jiao's receding back and said with disdain.
But tears flowed out of her eyes uncontrollably.
Elder Xu wiped her tears distressedly, "Look at you, you clearly can't bear to let go, but you always act like that and drive people away.
It means that the girl has a good temper, knows how to be grateful, and cares about us two old people. If you want to change someone else, do you think she will still care about you? ”
The old lady glared at Mr. Xu and said, "It's best if you ignore me. You might as well ignore me and go build your own house instead of staying in my house!"
"Hehe!" Old Xu quickly showed a flattering smile, "Old woman, I was wrong, is it okay if I was wrong?"
*
Chen Jiao returned home with the book given by Mr. Xu.
Everything that needed to be packed up at home had been packed up, and several large bags were placed in the main room. Wu Guilan, Lu Zhengxu and the two children were also in the main room, but the atmosphere among the four of them was a little solemn.
Seeing that Wu Guilan looked unhappy, Chen Jiao walked over to her and said, "Mom, what's the matter? Did Zhengxu make you angry? Or did Yangyang or Nannan make you angry?"
Wu Guilan grabbed Chen Jiao's hand and looked at her pleadingly, "Jiaojiao, Mom has lived in Dajiang Village all her life. Now that I'm old, I don't want to leave here. Please help me talk to Zhengxu, and I won't go with you."
As soon as Wu Guilan said this, Shen Jiao was a little surprised, "Mom, you won't go with us to join the army?"
Wu Guilan nodded, "Yes, Mom has thought about it seriously. Now Yangyang and Nannan are both grown up, and there is a red education class in the military region, so there is no need for me to take care of them. There is no point in me going with you. Besides, there must be someone to take care of the family, so it's fine for me to stay at home."
Chen Jiao couldn't decide this matter, she subconsciously looked at Lu Zhengxu.
Lu Zhengxu looked at Wu Guilan, "Mom, have you really made up your mind? You don't want to go with us?"
Wu Guilan nodded heavily and said firmly, "Well, I've thought about it!"
Lu Zhengxu nodded and said, "Okay, if you don't want to go with us this time, just stay at home. If you want to go anytime, write to us or give us a call."
It is still very inconvenient to make phone calls now. You can only go to the post office in the city, and the phone charges are expensive.
Chen Jiao guessed that Wu Guilan would definitely be reluctant to make the phone call.
He also instructed: "Mom, you can just send us a telegram when the time comes. Telegrams are charged by the word. Just tell us the word "pick up" and we will know to come back to pick you up."
At night, Chen Jiao was lying on her bed flipping through the book that Mr. Xu had given her.
In addition to ancient medical books, there are also several handwritten notes.
The notebook is clearly written by several people, and one can even see the evolution from traditional Chinese characters to simplified Chinese characters from the notes. This shows that the notebook was also passed down from generation to generation in Xu's family.
However, Chen Jiao's medical knowledge was very limited, and she could hardly understand those medical books, let alone the notes.
"well!"
Shen Jiao couldn't help but sigh.
Lu Zhengxu just walked in.
The man got on the bed and put his big hands around her round shoulders, "Wife, what's wrong?"
Chen Jiao spread out the medical books and notes in front of him.
Lu Zhengxu understood immediately, "Did Mr. Xu give it to you?"
"Yes." Chen Jiao nodded. "Mr. Xu probably wanted to find a successor to his medical skills. But my talent is limited, so I probably can't pass it on."
She is actually not very interested in medicine.
The reason why she had some basic medical knowledge was because in the apocalyptic environment, if she didn't know some first aid and medical knowledge to save herself at the critical moment, she didn't know how many times she would have died.
Lu Zhengxu helped her put the book aside and said, "Wife, there's no rush. Although Mr. Xu gave these to you, he wanted to find a successor for himself.
But this successor does not have to be you. If you are really not interested, we can find another suitable apprentice for Mr. Xu. Or we can consciously train Yangyang or Nannan and let them pass on Mr. Xu's medical skills. ”
Chen Jiao supported her face with one hand, still a little worried, "What if Yangyang and Nannan are not interested in studying medicine?"
As soon as Shen Jiao finished speaking, the man suddenly supported her shoulders with both hands and pressed her down on the bed, looking at her with a pair of dark and deep eyes, "Then let's have another child."
Chen Jiao looked at the man's gaze, which was like that of a hungry beast, and couldn't help but tremble slightly from her body to her soul.
The man can't be serious, right?
After what happened last night, why is he coming today?
This man is really made of steel. Doesn't he know what tiredness is?
During the rest of the night, Lu Zhengxu proved to his wife that he was indeed a man of steel and did not know what tiredness was.
When Chen Jiao got on the train the next day, she held her waist.
She held her waist with one hand and held her older son with the other, looking at the man in front of her with a resentful look on her face, who was carrying a bag in one hand and holding her little girl in the other.
"Mom, did Dad bully you last night?"
Suddenly, I heard a firm question from my elder son.
Chen Jiao looked down at Haodaer's clear eyes that seemed to see through everything. Just as she was about to deny it, Haodaer continued calmly and rationally: "Is your back pain today caused by your father bullying you last night?"
Chen Jiao: “No!”
She answered very straightforwardly, even a little anxiously. How could such a thing be known to a four-year-old child?
Of course not!
"Hmm."
Chen Jiao stared at Haodaer nervously, but Haodaer just responded softly and looked away.
