Chapter 206: I am old and can’t stand the stimulation
When Jiang Ning returned home with Mr. and Mrs. Shen, she discovered that they were no longer living with Mr. Shen.
Shen's mother used to be a researcher and made many contributions to research. She was allocated an apartment, but the Shen family never separated, so they continued to live in the compound.
Seeing her confusion, Shen Mo told her that her parents had separated from her second uncle's family, and that her grandfather was living with her second uncle.
Jiang Ning was somewhat surprised. Shen Mo had just mentioned a few days ago that his parents were planning to separate the family property, and now they were already doing so.
The reason why Shen's parents were able to separate their family property smoothly was because Shen Pianran had made such a fuss before, which caused a lot of unpleasant rumors to circulate about Shen Ziming's reputation in the retirement compound.
Old Master Shen, mindful that they were all family, wouldn't impose any punishment.
In the end, Shen's parents had a meltdown and started arguing about separating the family property.
Old Master Shen felt indebted. No matter how much he didn't want the Shen family to fall apart like this, he couldn't stop his eldest son from wanting to divide the family property.
After returning home with her parents, Shen Qianqian circled around Jiang Ning, saying, "Second sister-in-law, I finally have a little nephew!"
Jiang Ning joked with her, "What if she's your little niece?"
Shen Qianqian said, "I would like it even more if it were my little niece."
After she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something, "Oh right, second sister-in-law, you're a doctor, do you know whether the baby in your belly is a boy or a girl?"
Jiang Ning shook her head, "The baby is too young to be detected yet. We should be able to find out in about another month."
The Shen family members all wore smiles. They didn't care whether it was a boy or a girl; their family didn't have the traditional preference for sons over daughters.
Jiang Ning has now become the apple of the eye of the Shen family.
Shen Ziming was not good with words, so he gave Jiang Ning a red envelope, saying it was for the baby, but Jiang Ning refused it.
In the end, it was Shen Mo who said he would give it to him after the baby was born, and only then did Brother Shen give up.
When leaving after dinner at the Shen family's house, Shen's mother suggested that she wanted to take care of him, but she gave up the idea after learning that Shen Mo had taken a month-long vacation.
Her son is now on a month-long leave of absence, which is a perfect time for the young couple to nurture their relationship, so she can't disturb them.
We must not interfere with her relationship with Ningning, her mother-in-law.
Jiang Ning did not dislike her mother-in-law; she even offered to let Shen's mother stay with her in the family compound for a while, but Shen's mother refused.
"No rush, I'll come after Shen Mo finishes his vacation. He won't have time to take care of you then, so I'll pick you up."
Since Shen's mother refused decisively, Jiang Ning didn't insist.
As they were leaving, Shen's mother pulled Shen Mo aside and gave him a lot of instructions. Fearing he wouldn't remember them, Shen Mo asked his older brother for a notebook and wrote down every single thing his mother said.
Since Shen's mother had given birth to her, even though Jiang Ning was a doctor, it was always best to listen to Shen's mother's advice in this regard.
Before leaving, Shen Mo suggested taking Jiang Ning to the hospital for a check-up.
Upon hearing this, Shen's mother immediately changed her clothes and went out, followed by Shen's father, Shen Qianqian, and Shen Ziming.
The group arrived at the 615 Military Hospital. Xu Jin was in the hospital lobby and thought something had happened when she saw the family enter the hospital.
In particular, Jiang Ning was being supported by Shen Mo.
Jiang Ning realized that Shen Mo thought pregnant women were too fragile. When she refused to let him support her, Shen Mo's parents chimed in.
When Xu Jin saw Jiang Ning being helped into the hospital, she immediately rushed over to her, "Ningning, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "It's nothing serious, I just came for a simple check-up because I'm pregnant."
"Pregnant? That's not a big deal!" Xu Jin's voice rose.
"Ningning, you go to the consultation room first. I'll go call the hospital director and the others."
After saying that, she left in a hurry.
Jiang Ning: "......."
Is she carrying some kind of golden egg? Why are they all more nervous than she, the pregnant woman?
Jiang Ning arrived at her consultation room. She was well aware of her health and came to the hospital for a check-up to reassure Shen Mo and his parents.
Not long after, the hospital director, Dr. Liu, and Dr. Lü arrived at Jiang Ning's consultation room.
Both Dr. Liu and Dr. Lü have their own consultation rooms. Many people used to come to see Dr. Jiang Ning because she was too busy, so Dr. Liu and Dr. Lü moved to her consultation room.
She rarely goes to the hospital now, and most of her patients are assigned to Dr. Liu and Dr. Lü.
When Dean Kong arrived, he brought an envelope and anxiously asked Jiang Ning, "Is there anything wrong? I've asked Dr. Xu to arrange a full physical examination for you."
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "I don't have any pregnancy symptoms."
After saying that, she added, "Dean, I have something to say to you."
Before she could finish speaking, Dean Kong suddenly shoved an envelope into Jiang Ning's hand. "This is your salary from last month. You can take paid leave until you give birth and finish your postpartum confinement. But please don't say anything like you're going to resign. I'm too old for that kind of shock."
Jiang Ning was both amused and exasperated by Dean Kong's anxious expression; she hadn't mentioned resigning at all.
"Dean, I was thinking that once the pregnancy is stable in two months, I can come back to work."
She had told Shen Mo about this, and she had also told Shen's parents. Although they were worried, they all knew Jiang Ning's abilities and that she shouldn't be a caged bird.
The first three months of pregnancy are the most important. Once this crucial stage is over, the pregnancy is not so dangerous.
Although Dean Kong was pleased that Jiang Ning did not resign, he did not want her to overwork herself.
If Jiang Ning's health were to deteriorate, it would be a great loss to the hospital.
Dean Kong said, "You don't need to worry about the hospital work. I'll let you know when the hospital gets too busy. Your health is the most important thing."
Jiang Ning couldn't persuade Dean Kong, so she gave up.
Jiang Ning took a notebook from Shen Mo and handed it to Dean Kong. "This is a notebook I wrote recently. It contains detailed descriptions of some traditional Chinese medicine treatments. Dr. Liu and Dr. Lü are teaching students, so the contents of this notebook should be useful."
As soon as Dean Kong received the note from Jiang Ning, he felt several intense gazes fall on his hand.
Actually, he had always had a question, but he never asked it aloud.
Even Dean Kong was moved when he opened and looked at the things Jiang Ning handed him.
It contains various treatment methods written by Jiang Ning, which he knows Jiang Ning is never stingy with.
But what surprised him even more were the prescriptions for some strange illnesses, which were all kept secret.
When he was studying traditional Chinese medicine, it had been severely suppressed for decades, and many traditional Chinese medicine treatments were lost. He felt sorry and saddened, but there was nothing he could do.
All I can do is my meager efforts to preserve the lineage of traditional Chinese medicine.
He couldn't help but ask, "Many people consider what they've learned to be something they don't want to pass on. Aren't you worried at all that what you've learned will be spread?"
Jiang Ning said, "Traditional Chinese medicine is being passed down. How much one can learn depends on talent. Whether it is traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine, the goal is to treat and save lives. If we worry about so much, it will only be more difficult for traditional Chinese medicine to be promoted."
