Chapter 288 Only One
When Grandpa He entered the house and saw Jiang Ning, his eyes lit up. "Oh, Ning girl is here too."
Jiang Ning smiled and called out, "Grandpa He."
Grandpa He walked briskly to the seat next to Grandpa Shen and sat down.
Seeing that everyone in the room was standing, Old Master He waved his hand and said, "Sit down, everyone."
After saying that, he picked up the enamel mug that Mrs. Shen handed him, crossed his legs, and looked at Old Master Shen.
Old Master Shen was speechless, thinking to himself, "This old man is at it again."
Sure enough, as soon as Grandpa He took a sip of water from his enamel mug, he said, "I saw that you were installing an antenna at your house today. Did you buy a TV? Did you watch the news tonight? That Ning girl is really something, she's even on the news. I don't know how you were so blind to not like her back then."
Old Master Shen: "......."
He really doesn't like listening to the old man talk anymore.
But this old man He would come and nag him every single day.
Mr. and Mrs. Shen, who were standing nearby, were not surprised by this. Every day, Grandpa He would come to visit, which made the old man, who did not like to go out every day, willing to come out and talk.
Although Mr. He's words were often quite cutting, the two old men never really got into a fight.
After choking Old Man Shen, Old Master He was satisfied.
He then looked at Jiang Ning with a smile and said, "Ning, Tingdong said that the interview between you and Hansen has not been released in the United States, so we are holding off on it for the time being."
Jiang Ning nodded and briefly mentioned the interview broadcast on the news, explaining that she had retrieved the cultural relics through her medical skills.
Jiang Ning didn't take it to heart, and appearing on the news didn't bother her much.
It only made her feel that the hospital's workload was going to increase again.
Jiang Ning and Shen Mo stayed at the Shen family's place for two days before returning to the camp with the children on the third day.
They first went to the camp to return the car, and then Jiang Ning and Shen Mo each carried one of the children, while holding Zhiqi's hand with their other free hand, and went home.
Zhiqi's two little hands were held by his parents, one on each side, and he looked very satisfied.
After walking for a while, Zhiqi felt sorry for Jiang Ning, whose arms were getting tired from carrying Nanxing, so he immediately looked up and said, "Mom, put Nannan down, I'll hold my brother's hand and walk."
This little guy is growing fast, and Jiang Ning's arms were getting sore after holding him for a while.
She immediately put Nanxing down from her arms and took his hand to walk.
Nanxing was placed on the ground, and he first glanced at his father.
Then she looked at her mother pitifully.
Nanxing and Lezhi are used to using cute eyes to attack, and these two children will grow up to pick out all the good points of her and Shen Mo.
Just as Jiang Ning was about to soften her heart under Nan Xing's adorable gaze,
Suddenly, Zhiqi reached out and cupped Nanxing's little face in his hands, turning him towards his brother. He spoke earnestly, "Nannan, Mommy is tired. You are a little man, and you can't tire Mommy out. When your brother was your age, he didn't let Mommy carry him anymore."
Nanxing understood what Zhiqi said. He looked up at his father and sister and said, "Sister, Daddy...hug me."
Noticing her brother's gaze, Lezhi, who was being held by her father, immediately wrapped her little arms around Shen Mo's neck and then kept rubbing her fluffy little head against her father's face.
This made Shen Mo, the old father, smile like a doting aunt.
Seeing this, Zhiqi immediately said to Xiaonanxing earnestly, "You can hug your little sister, but you're the older brother. Look, even your older brother Zhiqi won't let Mom hug him anymore, so you can't let Mom hug you either, understand?"
Nanxing blinked, looking somewhat puzzled, but after a moment of confusion, he nodded.
Just like his brother, he wouldn't let his mother hug him anymore. He turned to look at Jiang Ning and said, "Mom, don't hug me."
He had his older brother to guide him.
Seeing this, Jiang Ning smiled.
With Zhiqi around, she rarely had to worry about taking care of her younger siblings.
For a period of time, it was Zhiqi who taught his younger siblings to walk.
It was quite a distance from the entrance of the residential compound to his own courtyard, but Xiao Nanxing insisted on walking the whole way by himself.
His short legs made him walk so slowly that Jiang Ning and Shen Mo had to slow down to keep up with him.
They encountered many military dependents along the way.
This family's good looks are guaranteed to turn heads.
Some people also mentioned Zhiqi.
One of the women sighed, “Zhiqi has been adopted by the Shen family for two years now. Look how well he’s been raised. Compared to that, how bad was Old Lady Wang from Chief Wang’s family back then? She even let her two children bully Zhiqi.”
"Of course! This guy from the Shen family is quite something; he even made it onto the evening news!"
There aren't many families in this residential compound that can afford a television, and many military dependents don't even know that Jiang Ning appeared on the evening news.
Upon hearing that Jiang Ning had appeared on the evening news, some people looked at the woman in surprise.
"What? Dr. Jiang from Shen Tuan's family was on the evening news?"
"That's right, I saw it on TV at Sister Li's house a couple of days ago."
Before anyone knew it, news of Jiang Ning appearing on CCTV's evening news gradually spread throughout the family compound.
The way everyone looked at Shen Mojia changed again.
Not long after Shen Mo and Jiang Ning returned home, Brigade Commander Liang suddenly came to their courtyard to visit Jiang Ning.
Brigade Commander Liang always made a grand entrance, with quite a entourage.
It attracted many military dependents living nearby.
This was the only family that received such frequent visits and condolences from military region leaders.
Jiang Ning's medical skills saved Liang Lü's life and the soldiers in the camp more than once. She also helped the camp solve some problems and played a role in capturing enemy agents.
Given Jiang Ning's achievements, who would dare say anything that goes against the rules?
After visiting and offering his condolences, Commander Liang saw Zhiqi playing with his younger siblings and then mentioned to Jiang Ning and Shen Mo that their family could have a larger yard.
After all, they have three children now.
Lezhi and Nanxing are still young, so they can share a room with their parents for now. But as they grow older, they will definitely need their own rooms.
The small courtyard they live in now is rather small for their family size.
Shen Mo thought about it. There were three children in his family now, and occasionally his parents would come to their house to take care of the children.
The yard was indeed a bit small for their current situation.
Hearing that she could exchange for a larger courtyard, Jiang Ning's first reaction was reluctance. The small pond at the entrance and the swing in the tree were all things Shen Mo had set up for her, and the medicinal herbs by the wall near the kitchen were also carefully cultivated by her.
Shen Mo knew he could move to a new house after he was promoted to regimental commander, but he knew his wife would be reluctant to move so suddenly, so he put the matter aside and didn't bring it up.
But now that the children are growing up, they have to think about the children's future.
Seeing Shen Mo and Jiang Ning's hesitant expressions, Brigade Commander Liang smiled and said, "If you don't want to move, you can apply to move out a little."
Upon hearing this, Shen Mo turned to look at Brigade Commander Liang.
Expand outwards?
Brigade Commander Liang said, "There's an open space outside this big tree of yours. You can expand it and make the yard bigger."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning's eyes lit up.
Seeing his wife's eyes light up, Shen Mo immediately said, "Commander Liang, I request that the courtyard be expanded."
Brigade Commander Liang said with a smile, "I knew you would choose to expand the compound."
He immediately nodded, "Okay, remember to submit the application when you return to the camp tomorrow."
