Chapter 338 The Deadly Pulse
Zhou Chengzhi looked at Fang Hua with some puzzlement: "Why don't you just speak loudly? What are you doing, sneaking around like this?"
Fang Hua glared at him, but still said in a very low voice, "Zhizhi is Shang Shiyi's daughter!"
Zhou Chengzhi had just put a mouthful of soup in his mouth when he spat it out and quickly wiped his mouth, asking, "What are you saying?"
Fang Hua threw a rag at him with disgust: "It's true. Shang Shiying admitted it, and she's Shang Shiyi's wife, the missing Bian Suxi. That's why they don't dare to take the child back now. Xiye and Zhizhi both know about this."
"Today, Zhizhi also said that her daughter's nickname is Shangshang, which is the Shang in Shangjia (merchant). But let's just pretend we don't know about this."
Zhou Chengzhi couldn't understand how Jiang Zhizhi had become Shang Shiyi's daughter.
Hearing footsteps coming downstairs, Fang Hua waved in front of Zhou Chengzhi and said, "Alright, hurry up and eat."
...
On the last day of her postpartum confinement, Jin Huaiying came to visit Jiang Zhizhi and told her some good news: "After the National Day holiday, I will be able to go back to work."
Jiang Zhizhi looked at Jin Huaiying sitting on the living room sofa. She was wearing a white shirt that was a little old but still very white, with the top button fastened. Her hair, which used to be messy and uneven, was now neatly trimmed.
He was still old, but when the sunlight shone through the window onto him, it brought a vitality and hope that was beyond his years.
Jiang Zhizhi could feel Jin Huaiying's happiness and anticipation, and couldn't help but feel happy for him: "Teacher, this can be considered a blessing in disguise. Things will definitely get better and better in the future."
In the past two years, Fang Hua had met Jin Huaiying many times and still treated her with great respect. He warmly poured tea for her and sincerely congratulated her: "This is really good news. Which hospital will Teacher Jin be working at?"
Jin Huaiying shook her head: "My hand is injured and I can't have surgery, so I can't go to work at the hospital. I'll go to teach at the medical school, which is fine too. It's good to be with young people; it keeps my mind young."
Fang Hua nodded repeatedly: "I also think the school is pretty good. It's easier for you to be a teacher there."
Jin Huaiying rubbed her injured leg and smiled, "Yes, my body doesn't allow it anymore. I can't hold a scalpel with this hand, and I can't stand for long with this leg. It would be good for me to go to school to teach."
Fang Hua also expressed his gratitude to Jin Huaiying for her meticulous education of Jiang Zhizhi over the years: "If it weren't for you, Zhizhi wouldn't have achieved such good results."
Jin Huaiying quickly waved her hand: "Not at all. Zhizhi is very smart. She is the most talented child I have ever met in all my years of teaching. She is also very willing to work hard. She is a very good child."
Then, looking at Jiang Zhizhi, he said, "Zhizhi is already very good, she just lacks some experience. Take it slow, she will get better and better in the future."
"By the way, there's another pulse pattern you haven't encountered yet, called the 'life-threatening pulse'."
Jiang Zhizhi was a little curious: "The 'lifeline' means that you can tell whether a person can be saved or survive just by touching it."
Jin Huaiying nodded: "Not only that, but you can also deduce when a person will die from their pulse."
Jiang Zhizhi found it somewhat magical: "Then... if possible, I still hope we don't meet."
Although she was very curious about what such a pulse looked like, she preferred not to know if it could predict a person's life or death.
Jin Huaiying laughed and said, "It's nothing. Doctors are always more able to face life and death than ordinary people. If you take it easy, everything will be fine."
Fang Hua and Zhou Chengyu also found it quite amazing. After Jin Huaiying left, the two were still discussing in hushed tones: "I told you that traditional Chinese medicine is more powerful. Look, it can even determine life and death."
Zhou Chengyu agreed: "Anyway, Zhizhi took good care of my health now. In the future, if Zhizhi needs to take care of the children, she can come to me. I don't want any wages. Just take good care of my health so I can live a few more years."
Fang Hua was both amused and exasperated: "You don't even look after your own grandchildren, but you come to my house to join in the fun."
Zhou Chengyu smiled and said, "Xiao Zhouji and Shangshang are also my grandchildren. Besides, my mother-in-law is looking after my family and won't let me go over. Not many mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law can live together like you and Zhizhi."
Fang Hua felt a little proud. In the entire compound, there was no mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship as harmonious as hers and Jiang Zhizhi's.
...
On the eleventh, the two children will be exactly one month old.
On the day of the full moon, there is still a custom that the baby should move to another place for two days so that the baby will grow faster.
Some women whose parents live nearby go back to their parents' home to stay.
If your maternal home is far away, you can change rooms; it's just for good luck.
Jiang Zhizhi didn't know what this custom was, but Fang Hua and the others said it was good for the child, so she listened to their advice and changed rooms.
As a result, Shang Shiying was not happy and insisted that Jiang Zhizhi bring her two children to stay at her house: "Anyway, I have plenty of empty rooms at my house, so let them stay at my house. I am also considered part of Zhizhi's family."
Fang Hua dragged Shang Shiying into the kitchen to talk: "What nonsense are you talking about? Is your relationship public now? Zhizhi brought two children to stay at your house, what will the people in the compound think? Besides, are you saying there aren't enough people watching our two families, and you want to cause more trouble?"
Shang Shiying paused for a moment, then tried to persuade her: "My house... is quite spacious. Speaking of which, Zhizhi has recognized me as her godmother. Would it be alright for her to stay at her godmother's house for a few days?"
Fang Hua looked around and whispered to Shang Shiying, "Things have been pretty tight lately, so be careful. Alright, it's fine at my house. You're practically living here now."
Shang Shiying was delighted. She had indeed been coming frequently lately, arriving as soon as she got up in the morning and not returning home until dark.
Sometimes I arrive late and stay until midnight before going home.
Shang Shiying went upstairs to help Zhou Chengyu carry the child downstairs to the room where Jiang Zhizhi and Zhou Xiye used to live. She smiled and said to Jiang Zhizhi, "This child changes every day. I feel like he's different today than yesterday."
Jiang Zhizhi's only regret is that she doesn't have a camera or a mobile phone, so she can record her child's changes every day.
She also felt that the two children were different every day, especially after the confinement period, their little faces were rosy and fair, and they were a little chubby.
I was just thinking of telling Fang Hua to hire a photographer to come to our house and take some full-month photos of the two babies, so that Zhou Xiye can see what the children looked like when they were little.
Fang Hua spoke first: "I asked your dad to find someone to come and take a full-month photo of the baby. Zhizhi, you should change your clothes too, and the three of you can take a picture together in a little while."
Looking at Jiang Zhizhi's figure, Shang Shiying couldn't help but sigh, "Zhizhi's figure is so petite, she has recovered very well right after giving birth."
Then, the conversation suddenly shifted: "By the way, did you hear that Song Man is coming back to get married in November?"
