Wang Fengjiao had been feeling sleepy these past two days. When she woke up from a nap and heard about Ding Lanying sending a banner, she hurried to visit Yang Niannian.
"Niannian, I heard that Director Ding sent you a banner. Is this like a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken? The test results haven't come out yet, and she sent you a banner. Isn't this embarrassing?"
Yang Niannian pointed at the banner hanging on the wall and said, "Look, it's right there. They delivered the things to my door, and I can't let them take the banner back, so I just hung it on the wall."
"What's the point of doing this? Isn't this a waste of money?" Wang Fengjiao touched the fabric of the banner. "I'm sure you'll find that this fabric is pretty good. It's quite suitable for making shoe uppers."
Yang Niannian chuckled, "If we use silk banners to make shoe uppers, Director Ding's hair will smoke in anger."
"Director Ding is so narrow-minded. You said she is already old, but instead of waiting for her son to get married and take care of her grandchildren, she always does things against you. It's really unreasonable." Wang Fengjiao complained.
Yang Niannian concluded, "I've been a mountain king for so long that I can't wait for Sun Wukong to come to the world."
Wang Fengjiao laughed out loud when she heard that, and then yawned again, "I don't know what happened these past few days, I've been feeling sleepy and my appetite has been poor."
Yang Niannian asked casually, "Are you pregnant again?"
When Wang Fengjiao heard this, her expression froze. Yang Niannian was a little confused by her reaction, "Sister Wang, are you really pregnant?"
Wang Fengjiao thought about it carefully, and suddenly slapped her thigh excitedly, "Oh no, it seems like my period has not come for half a month."
"Can I go to the health center with you?" Yang Niannian was worried about her. If she was really pregnant, she wouldn't be able to keep the child!
Wang Fengjiao waved her hand, "No, no, you must be very tired from the exams these two days, just take a good rest, I can go by myself."
Wang Fengjiao is a tomboy in her daily life. She is decisive in her work, but her thoughts are no different from other people. She thinks giving birth to a child is a very simple thing. Anyway, she gave birth to all four children very quickly, without any pain and without any stomach pain.
When the third child was born, the baby was born before the midwife arrived.
She felt that if she was really pregnant, she could just have an abortion. It wasn't a big deal and there was no need to make a fuss.
Yang Niannian didn't insist on going with them. The clinic was not far away, and she didn't necessarily mean she was pregnant.
After more than an hour, she went to Wang Fengjiao's house but didn't find anyone. She was a little worried, so she rode her bike to the health center.
I happened to meet Wang Fengjiao on the way. I didn't know anything until I asked her. Once she asked, she was so scared that she broke into a cold sweat.
Wang Fengjiao actually had an abortion.
"I thought the surgery wouldn't hurt, but it hurts more than giving birth. If I wasn't afraid of affecting Lao Zhou, I wouldn't have aborted the baby. When I get better, I'll get sterilized. I can't bear this pain anymore."
"You are too impulsive. How can you have surgery in the health center? The sanitary conditions here are so poor?" Yang Niannian said with concern.
"Well, it's just a little suffering, nothing else. I have a good physique, I just need to lie down at home for a day." Wang Fengjiao said indifferently.
"You need to lie down and rest for at least a week, otherwise you will get postpartum disease and it will be too late to regret. Seasonal clothes are not selling well now. I understand that after I go to the city again, I won't be busy when I come back, so I can take care of you for a while. If you refuse, you will be treating me as an outsider." Yang Niannian said without hesitation.
Wang Fengjiao swallowed the words of refusal back when they came to her lips. She felt very embarrassed.
She is already old and had an abortion, but she still troubled Yang Niannian to take care of her. She was very grateful to Yang Niannian in her heart. When one is away from home, it is true that a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor.
Wang Fengjiao sat in the back, and Yang Niannian didn't dare to ride too fast, and always chose the best path to walk on.
After arriving at the military family compound, she made a bowl of brown sugar tea for Wang Fengjiao and rode her bicycle to a nearby village to buy an old hen. She didn't dare to kill the chicken and kept it until Lu Shishen came back.
She told Lu Shishen about Wang Fengjiao's situation and reminded him, "Before you go to the army tomorrow, kill the old hen first. I will make old hen soup for Sister Wang."
Lu Shishen nodded in agreement. When he entered the room and saw the silk banner hanging on the wall, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who sent it?"
"Director Ding and her sisters-in-law sent it to me, saying they wanted to congratulate me on getting admitted to university." Yang Niannian winked playfully, "If I don't get this university student quota, I'd feel a little sorry for the silk banner they sent me."
Lu Shishen frowned and said comfortingly, "Don't pay attention to them. If you really want to go to college, you can take the exam next year if you can't pass this year."
Yang Niannian laughed twice, "Don't worry, I have a good attitude. It doesn't matter if I don't pass the exam. I'm busy with business right now and don't have time to study. I don't want to be separated from you and An An."
I don’t know which words pleased Lu Shishen, but his expression eased a lot anyway.
Yang Niannian had been in a tense state due to being busy with exams during this period. Now that the exams were over, she relaxed and felt very sleepy. She fell asleep as soon as her head touched the pillow at night.
The next morning, when she got up, Lu Shishen had already killed the chicken and plucked its feathers.
Yang Niannian took the chicken to Wang Fengjiao's house, prepared the seasonings, and put it on the coal stove to stew the soup.
After finishing everything, she went into the house to inform Wang Fengjiao, "Sister Wang, I have to go to the city and will be back at noon. You can watch the chicken soup stew for an hour. Remember to drink it and don't let the pot dry out."
Wang Fengjiao felt very embarrassed, but the chicken was already stewing on the stove, and it would be too hypocritical for her to say any polite words. She simply accepted it generously and tried to be nicer to Nian Nian in the future.
"Niannian, if you have something to do, just do your thing first. Don't worry about me. I'm fine. I'm in good health and I recover quickly. I'll be almost well after lying down for a night."
"No matter how healthy you are, you are not made of iron. Lie down and rest. I'm going to the city first." Yang Niannian gave a few instructions and left.
Wang Fengjiao was deeply touched. Although she was usually very impetuous, she was actually very happy that someone cared about her.
Sometimes it’s not that she wants to be strong, but she has no choice but to be strong.
It was not easy for her children to know about her miscarriage. Her husband was too busy and had no time to take care of her. It was good enough that he could come back at night to help her wash clothes.
Thanks to Nian Nian, she will definitely take good care of her when she gives birth to a child.
