The headman's wife came to her senses after being persuaded by several old ladies in the village. The villagers' lives were getting better and better. The old ladies who were on good terms with her persuaded her that the fourth son's wife was a superb doctor, and there was also Doctor Xiao Yang in the town to work together to perform the operation on her, so what was there to be afraid of?
Those old ladies also said, wouldn't it be nice to enjoy a few more years of happiness after being cured? What if the head of the village is a village official at least, and then he marries an old widow as a concubine? Wouldn't that be handing over the family business to his concubine for nothing?
After hearing these words, the headman's wife pondered over them for several days and finally figured it out. She sent her youngest daughter Qiuying to tell Jian Ning that she was willing to have a hip replacement surgery. Instead of living in a state of half-death, it would be better to end it all. If it goes well, it's good. If it doesn't, the worst that can happen is that she will go to see the King of Hell and be reborn as a healthy person.
Jian Ning then had Master Ding San go to town to inform Yang Jinyu. He had brought his new wife, Fei Zitong, to town early on the day of the village head's surgery. Fei Zitong had also brought gifts for Qiaofeng, Ah Man, and Da Niu. Yang Jinyu also had news: Tu Yidao's mother had come to Mo Mingyue to propose marriage, and she was referring to San Gouzi, the son of Tu Pozi.
"Did Sister Mingyue agree?" Jian Ning asked hurriedly when he heard it.
To be honest, San Gouzi is a good person. It's amazing that he has such a good mother, so his character has not changed. Of course, this is also related to the advice of his two sisters.
However, Mingyue is paired with Sangouzi, and Jian Ning feels that Mingyue is unfairly treated and she deserves someone better.
"It seems to be agreed." Yang Jinyu said.
"No way?" Jian Ning lowered her voice. After all, Sangouzi was her employee. Logically, she should be happy for Sangouzi, but as they were both women, and Mingyue was literate, she really felt that Mingyue should at least marry a scholar.
It seems marriage is truly destined. If it weren't for Master Mo's madness, Mingyue might not have married Sangouzi. Take Duan Xinning, for example. She was originally a noblewoman from the capital, but she married off to Ding Youtian in Dingxian Village, thousands of miles away. Who says this wasn't arranged by Yue Lao?
Perhaps she and Ding Youtian were destined to be a couple, which is why the Min siblings were able to succeed. The so-called "a thousand miles of marriage is connected by a thread" may be destined.
Jian Ning thought about it again. San Gouzi was at least hardworking and honest, and his two sisters cared about him. If Mingyue married him, she would be able to live a peaceful life with him. Even if she didn't expect to become rich and famous, she would still be guaranteed a peaceful life. At least he was several times better than those uneducated guys who would beat women at will.
The operation on the headman's wife went very smoothly. Yang Jinyu has become much calmer and more experienced now, and he cooperates very well with Jian Ning. After the operation, he took off his mask and exclaimed that it was very exciting.
"This is the result of your unremitting efforts in research. As your medical skills improve, everything will naturally come to fruition." Jian Ning smiled, recalling the first time he followed her to perform surgery on Xiao Shi. He was extremely nervous throughout the whole process and collapsed on the bed due to exhaustion afterwards. But now he can do it with ease.
The headman and his family were waiting outside anxiously. When they saw her master and disciple coming out with smiles on their faces, the headman secretly breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, his heart had been in his throat.
"Don't worry, uncle. The operation went smoothly." Yang Jinyu explained to the headman's family according to what Jian Ning had told him in advance, and detailed all the matters that needed to be paid attention to after the operation.
Jian Ning also said, "It's impossible to cure this disease completely. However, after the hip replacement, Auntie will be able to walk more easily. Remember to take the medicine on time. You can reduce the dosage from one tablet to half a tablet if necessary."
"Hey, hey, I will tell your aunt, don't worry." The head of the village and his sons nodded like chicks pecking at rice, and were very grateful to her and her apprentice in their hearts.
Half a month later, Chang and Mr. Ding Sanye set up several tables of wine in Jian Ning's yard. The two rolled up their bedding together and became husband and wife. Ding Yang and Ding Jian helped renovate Chang's house. Ding Sheng followed Daya to the town to sell vegetables every day. He rarely spoke all day long and only smiled foolishly to his two younger sisters.
Jian Ning asked Chang if she was willing to let Ding Sheng govern her before she left, but Chang refused.
Reason: Ding Sheng is doing very well now. His younger brother died at his hands. If he still has some conscience when he wakes up, he will probably live with self-blame and guilt for the rest of his life.
It would be better to let him stay half crazy and half stupid like this, at least he won't live such a painful life. It will be his fate when he wakes up, and it may be a blessing for him to continue like this until he grows old.
Since she had let it go and thought it through, Jane Ning didn't insist anymore.
Chuqi was in charge of cooking for the feast prepared by Chang and Mr. Ding Sanye, and his sister, Jian Ning and Tian assisted him. Jian Ning couldn't name many of the dishes Chuqi made, but they didn't look like food from ordinary restaurants. The color alone was enough to whet one's appetite. The head of the village and the clan leader gave thumbs up after tasting them.
Jian Ning tasted it and thought it was indeed delicious. Her cooking skills were considered good, but they were several levels lower than Chu Qi's. She only made ordinary home-cooked dishes, while Chu Qi's dishes were worthy of being called those of a five-star chef, and his skills were several points higher than those of the chefs in Prince Pingnan's Mansion and the Taifu Mansion.
She couldn't help but wonder where Chu Qi had made a living. Since Chu Qi had agreed to take his sister to Beijing to work as the head chef at Lao Liu Restaurant, she asked him privately. He didn't hide it from her, telling her that his father was a chef in the Princess of Qing's mansion during the previous dynasty, and that his cooking skills were all taught to him by his father himself.
Qing? Jian Ning asked him if he had ever seen the Princess of Qing. He had followed his father to help in the kitchen at the Princess's mansion when he was a child in the seventh year of his life, so of course he had seen her. After describing the Princess's appearance, he realized it wasn't Min.
After Chang and Mr. Ding Sanye finished their business, Ma Fuquan and his family set off for the capital. Yuechan took Ma Xiaodou and rode Qiu Ge to go first, while Chuqi and his sister, Yue'e took A'man and the big girl Qiaofeng and others, followed Ma Fuquan and his family to the capital in a carriage.
After they left, Jian Ning and Ding Youtian stayed at home for more than half a month. They packed their bags and prepared to take Erniu and Sanniu to Zhuling County to visit Mei Niang's family, play for a few days, and then set off for Danyang in the north.
Before leaving, Jian Ning had been sewing winter clothes for Ding Youtian at home, covering them with thick cotton. Ding Youtian looked at her and laughed, "Why are you sewing such thick clothes? If they're too thick, they'll be too heavy and I won't be able to walk."
"You've always been afraid of the cold. The north is only warm for a few months a year. If you don't sew something thicker and get sick from the cold, don't come and complain to me that I didn't take care of you."
"I was extremely cold before, but now I feel much better. Isn't it cold in the capital in winter? Can you see that I'm wearing one more layer of clothing than when I'm at home?"
After he said that, Jian Ning remembered the winter they spent in the capital this year. It seemed that he was not as afraid of the cold as last winter and put on winter clothes early.
"Instead of wasting your time on needlework, you should focus on giving Dabao a brother as soon as possible."
Jian Ning gouged his eyes, "Is that something I can do just by thinking about it? There's nothing wrong with me, but you, who knows, the problem might be with you."
Ding Youtian smiled, dropped the book, and pretended to undress. "Since there's something wrong with my body, Madam, why don't you give me a thorough checkup?"
"roll!"
