Liu Ruonan slept soundly. With a man waiting for her by her side and a marriage she had longed for, her heart was filled with peace and happiness. Although they were still in the honeymoon period, she and Zhuang Sheng could not yet be married.
Therefore, their married life is as ordinary as that of an old couple.
Liu Ruonan woke up and was awakened by the sound of a door closing.
Gao Shanshan was about to go to school when she slammed the door a little too loudly, earning Chen Jianmin a stern rebuke. Through the window, Liu Ruonan saw Gao Shanshan playfully sticking out her tongue and running off.
Liu Ruonan got up, and Chen Jianmin and Gao Shu were getting ready to go to the fields. Wheat harvest was coming soon, and they needed to water the crops once more.
"Brother Zhuang Sheng, I'll go to the fields with my aunt." Liu Ruonan jumped up from the bed, quickly left the room and went to the yard to get a shovel.
When Chen Jianmin saw Liu Ruonan, he quickly stepped forward to stop her: "Nannan, what are you doing? You don't have to do the work in the fields, just stay at home and take good care of Zhuang Sheng."
"Aunt, I have been doing these jobs since I was a child. I can do it now." Liu Ruonan said, lifting the shovel onto her shoulder, looking like a skilled worker.
"This kid, you're already married, and you're still calling me auntie? You need to change your tune." Chen Jianmin scolded, snatching the shovel from Liu Ruonan's hand. "It's very convenient to water the fields now, so you don't need it. If you feel embarrassed to stay at home, just stay home and cook."
Liu Ruonan was stubborn and stopped arguing. She thought that since they were working in the fields and there was no one to cook at home, it would be fine for her to take care of the family's meals at home.
"Okay, Auntie, I understand."
"That's right!" Chen Jianmin was so happy when he heard the name 'Auntie' that he went out carrying a shovel.
Liu Ruonan looked at the time. It was still early for dinner, so she decided to go to the city first. She entered the room, put on her cloth bag, put the letter Zhuang Sheng had written in advance into the bag, took out a hundred yuan, and said to Zhuang Sheng:
"Brother Zhuang Sheng, I'm going to the city now. I'll still have time to cook when I come back."
"Ask Big Brother to go with you!" Zhuang Sheng said, a hint of worry in his eyes. Everyone in the village knew what kind of person Liu Ergou was: he was mean and difficult to deal with. After something like this happened, he must have held a grudge and might stab them in the back at any moment.
Liu Ruonan understood Zhuang Sheng's good intentions and comforted him, "It's okay, I can protect myself."
As Liu Ruonan spoke, she patted her chest, imitating the men's manners, with the air of a heroic woman. This made Zhuang Sheng feel a little amused.
If you think about it carefully, it's impossible for someone to stay by her side, right? And his biggest wish now is to get better soon, and this thought has become more and more urgent.
There were no buses in the village, so Liu Ruonan walked for half an hour to reach the town, and then took a 40-minute bus from the town to reach the city.
She hadn't been to this city much in this era, and everywhere was filled with the new atmosphere after the founding of the People's Republic of China. A smile crossed Liu Ruonan's lips. She wanted to take root here for the rest of her life, away from the hustle and bustle of her past life, away from the bad people who had hurt her.
There was a mailbox nearby. Liu Ruonan took out the envelope and prepared to deliver it. It was at this moment that she realized the letter Zhuang Sheng had written was destined for Hong Kong. Liu Ruonan had never known Zhuang Sheng to have served in the army in Hong Kong. Or, in other words, did he have any familiar comrades in the army in Hong Kong?
But Zhuang Sheng said it was sent to the troops!
Liu Ruonan smiled. Zhuang Sheng's troops always did some very confidential work, and Liu Ruonan never asked about it. This life was no different.
After putting the envelope into the mailbox, Liu Ruonan found another well-established Chinese medicine clinic.
This Chinese medicine clinic is very popular, with people coming and going constantly. A long queue of patients forms next to it.
Liu Ruonan walked into the Chinese medicine clinic with an inquiring look, and a young man came forward to greet her.
"Miss, are you here to see a doctor or buy medicine?"
"I don't treat illnesses." Liu Ruonan smiled. "Excuse me, do you sell acupuncture needles here?"
This is strange? He didn't come to see a doctor or buy medicine, but to buy an injection. Liu Ruonan's question also caught the attention of the doctor who was treating the patient.
The doctor looked to be in his fifties, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and a Mao suit. He had a rather gentle face. He waved, motioning Liu Ruonan to come over.
Liu Ruonan walked in with a smile, and the Chinese medicine doctor began to speak.
"Little girl, what are you going to do with the acupuncture needles?"
"Of course it's acupuncture!" Liu Ruonan responded curiously.
"Do you also know acupuncture?"
Liu Ruonan nodded: "Is it strange?"
"Haha, no, no." He just felt that this girl was so young and her dress didn't look like she was a descendant of some traditional Chinese medicine school.
The Chinese doctor shook her head and motioned for the young man to bring her a set of acupuncture needles. Then she sat down and continued to feel her pulse and diagnose her.
Liu Ruonan scanned the room. There were many medicine cabinets here, filled with many important items. To cure Zhuang Sheng's illness, she needed not only acupuncture but also a plaster. The plaster contained two herbs she couldn't find in the mountains.
"Doctor, I would like to ask, do you have all the medicines here?" Liu Ruonan asked tentatively.
"If you say that the medicines here are incomplete, no other Chinese medicine clinic dares to say that they have a complete range of medicines." The Chinese medicine doctor responded confidently, his fingers still on the patient's pulse.
"Do you have musk and ambergris here?" Liu Ruonan asked.
This aroused the curiosity of the Chinese medicine doctor. He let go of his hand, pressed his glasses down to the bridge of his nose, and looked at Li Ruonan with a serious face through the gap above the glasses.
"What do you want these two medicines for? They are very expensive medicines!" There was a hint of disbelief in her eyes as she spoke. This little girl didn't look like someone who could afford these two medicines!
"Doctor, you're joking! I'm buying medicine to treat my illness!"
"Little girl, you are not very old. This medicine cannot be used carelessly. It can be fatal if used improperly." The Chinese medicine doctor was curious, but could not help but comfort her. Treating diseases and saving lives is not a joke.
"Just tell me whether you have it or not?" Liu Ruonan asked instead of answering.
"Then tell me first, what disease do you want to cure?" The Chinese medicine doctor became interested. This little girl was quite stubborn and seemed to be quite confident in her medical skills.
"My man is injured and paralyzed. I want him to stand up." Liu Ruonan responded confidently.
The Chinese medicine practitioner frowned slightly, as if pondering something: "He's paralyzed, and you can actually cure him?"
Liu Ruonan looked at the Chinese medicine doctor with an expression of disbelief, smiled confidently, and nodded.
"Haha! Little girl, don't brag! I've been practicing medicine for many years, and I saw a paralyzed patient some time ago, but I didn't have that ability. How can you guarantee that you can do it?"
There is always someone better than you! This doctor doesn't seem to understand this truth!
