Chapter 207 Honor
Dean Kong never hesitated to share his knowledge, but the things Jiang Ning gave him were so precious that he couldn't help but ask such a question.
As expected, he's gotten old and doesn't think as clearly as a young person.
What made Dean Kong happiest was that Jiang Ning didn't resign. With Dean Kong's arrangements, Jiang Ning's examinations went smoothly all the way.
The test results came back very quickly.
Shen's mother didn't disturb Jiang Ning and Shen Mo, so only Shen Mo and his wife returned to the family compound.
Upon returning home, Jiang Ning noticed that all the sharp edges of the tables and chairs in the yard had been covered with a layer of soft cloth.
Hearing the door open, Zhiqi, holding a pair of scissors, poked his head out of the main room.
"Mom, Dad, you're back."
Jiang Ning and Shen Mo walked over, and Jiang Ning asked in surprise, "Did you do all this?"
Huo Zhiqi nodded heavily. "Mom is pregnant now, so she can't bump or fall."
Jiang Ning sighed helplessly; even if she wasn't nervous, they were making her nervous.
The next month will be the happiest time for Zhiqi, as he will spend every day with his parents.
His father taught him boxing, and his mother taught him to do his homework.
He studied hard and diligently, hoping to protect his mother and sister with his fists and feet in the future, and to earn money for his mother with his knowledge.
As for his father and younger brother, they don't need his protection.
On July 20th, Brigade Commander Liang personally led a group to bring the medal awarded to Jiang Ning by the General Military Hospital.
When Brigade Commander Liang arrived at the family compound with his large entourage, he immediately attracted the attention of many of the women living there.
Brigade Commander Liang knew he was bringing honor, so he didn't go inside. Instead, he had Shen Mo call Jiang Ning, who was teaching Zhiqi to do his homework in the yard, out.
As soon as Jiang Ning stepped out of the courtyard, she was greeted by Brigade Commander Liang's kind and friendly smile.
When Brigade Commander Liang saw Jiang Ning, he took the items from the orderly behind him and solemnly handed them to Jiang Ning. He said, "Comrade Jiang, this is a medal and reward that the General Military Hospital asked me to bring to you. The General Military Hospital thanks you for contributing the prescription and is awarding you five thousand yuan."
Shen Mo was shocked when he heard what Brigade Commander Liang said.
He knew his wife's prescription was valuable, but he never expected that the General Military Hospital would reward him with 5,000 yuan.
He increasingly felt that he had married an extraordinary person.
Hearing Brigade Commander Liang's words, the women who had gathered around were also completely shocked.
His eyes were glued to the remittance slip in Commander Liang's hand.
Goodness, five thousand yuan.
How much would that cost?
Many of them probably had to save for ten years without eating or drinking to earn that much money.
Just now, Brigade Commander Liang mentioned the General Hospital of the Military Region. Is Regiment Commander Shen's wife really that capable?
What kind of contribution would it take to gain recognition from the General Military Hospital?
The women in the family compound all knew that Jiang Ning was skilled in medicine. They thought she was just a little better than the average doctor, since she had even been in the newspapers.
Jiang Ning hadn't expected that Brigade Commander Liang would present a medal in such a high-profile manner.
What surprised me even more was the reward.
She is not short of money now. Shen Mo's salary is basically in her hands, and Huang Xiaodong gives her the lion's share of the money he makes from selling whitening cream and Sanbai cream every month, as well as money from Shen's parents.
It adds up to tens of thousands.
But what she has now is not the same as the award given by the General Military Hospital; that was an honor.
The stares from the family compound were a mix of surprise and envy.
Jiang Ning used to be a central figure in the family compound, having caused quite a few incidents in the past.
But which family in the residential compound received five thousand yuan just for a reward? Even the men there have never received that much money for doing tasks!
The arrival of Brigade Commander Liang, along with the honors and awards he brought, made the women in the family compound feel as if they were no longer on the same level as Jiang Ning.
Moreover, Jiang Ning has even been featured in newspapers, making her a celebrity to some extent.
Many of the women looked at Jiang Ning with newfound respect, and it's likely that no one will dare to spread unfounded rumors anymore.
Jiang Ning invited Liang Lü into the courtyard to sit for a while, and the sisters-in-law who had been surrounding them dispersed.

August 1st is Army Day.
It's a holiday for soldiers, and Shen Mo is going back to his unit to celebrate with his comrades.
Shen Mo is still on leave and doesn't need to return to the unit, but such holidays are special for soldiers.
It was Jiang Ning who suggested that Shen Mo return to the army base for the holiday. She even used the bread oven she had built for Zhiqi's birthday to make a lot of small cakes as a way to celebrate Shen Mo's 711th Regiment holiday.
Shen Mo learned that Jiang Ning was going to make cakes for the 711 Regiment, and that making cakes for so many people would take a lot of time.
Feeling sorry for his wife, he told her not to do anything and went to buy a lot of candy to distribute.
Of course, the money was provided by Jiang Ning.
On August 1st, the military was going to hold an event, and Jiang Ning, because of her significant contributions, was given special permission by Brigade Commander Liang to go and watch the performance.
After watching the afternoon performance, the soldiers had free time.
In the camp, most of the soldiers' activities are harmless competitions, such as tug-of-war, basketball, and obstacle course races.
Shen Mo's group was holding an obstacle course competition.
Jiang Ning was led by Shen Mo to the obstacle course. Ever since he learned that his wife liked watching it not because it was... good, he stopped being jealous.
As soon as the soldiers saw Jiang Ning coming, they all shouted "Sister-in-law!"
Whether it was because Jiang Ning was watching or not, everyone was putting in their best effort to perform.
Jiang Ning watched the soldiers sweating profusely, their faces beaming with smiles even though they were so dirty they were unrecognizable.
She didn't have much of a sense of national pride, but she was gradually influenced by Shen Mo.
Seeing that Jiang Ning was watching intently, especially when Yang Zhengtu started showing off after taking the lead, Shen Mo took off his coat and went over.
Jiang Ning was somewhat mesmerized by the rare human models, but her gaze was immediately drawn to the man beside her when he took off his coat.
Even on his vacation, Shen Mo didn't forget to train at home, treating Zhiqi like a soldier every day.
Shen Mo walked over to Yang Zhengtu and patted him on the shoulder. "You're about to go on a mission, wanna have a competition?"
Yang Zhengtu's legs went weak the moment he saw his commander. "Commander, how can I compare to you?"
Shen Mo said, "If you win the competition, you'll get a slice of the cake your sister-in-law made."
"Commander, are you serious?" Yang Zhengtu's eyes lit up.
Ever since he went to Zhiqi's birthday party and ate there, he has been craving the cake his sister-in-law made.
He begged shamelessly for a long time, but the troupe leader wouldn't give in. He even said that if he was given money, the troupe leader would train him to death.
He knew the commander was pushing him to the limit because they were going on a mission, but he just craved a piece of cake.
Shen Mo, "If it's not real, then is it fake?"
“Alright, let’s have a competition!” Yang Zhengtu said.
Upon hearing that the team leader was going to take the stage himself, cheers erupted from the crowd.
Jiang Ning's eyes widened. She had only ever seen Shen Mo scolding people, but never when he was training.
