Chapter 42 He openly and legitimately touched her abs.
“If you restore him to normal, then you’ve passed the test,” the old man said. “This kid is used to me pricking him all the time.”
Jiang Ning knew she should be serious at this moment, unless she couldn't help herself.
"puff--"
After laughing for a while, Jiang Ning took the silver needles and accurately found the acupoints, quickly and precisely inserting them, which surprised and satisfied the old man.
This technique requires decades of experience to master.
This girl is so amazing at such a young age.
He sighed inwardly, realizing that all his efforts had to be humbled in the face of talent.
After a few needle pricks, Huang Xiaodong's fingers twitched, and Jiang Ning inserted a few more needles into his leg.
Huang Xiaodong finally regained control of his body.
As soon as Jiang Ning finished her acupuncture, he got up from the ground, patted his trouser leg, and said to the old man through gritted teeth, "You really are my dear grandfather."
The old man snorted softly, "I am no one else is."
The old man looked at Jiang Ning with satisfaction in his eyes, "Ning girl, just work hard here for me, I won't share the money I earn with you."
“No,” Jiang Ning shook her head. “I will give you half of my consultation fee.”
She was very grateful to the old man for letting her treat patients at his clinic. Once she gained a reputation, she wouldn't be rejected like that again.
She is not an ungrateful person. Now she has no fame and no one would believe that a girl like her can do medicine. She was rejected twice. Although there were some villains involved, their reasons for not accepting her were justified.
Seeing the stubbornness in Jiang Ning's eyes, the old man knew that this topic was going to get out of hand.
Stubbornness is good; stubborn people are suited to studying medicine.
His grandson is familiar with all kinds of medicinal herbs, so he can be considered talented, but he just doesn't want to learn properly from him.
He just likes to slack off and joke around all day.
Without that drive, even the most talented person will ultimately achieve nothing.
The old man had tried hitting and scolding the child, but the child wouldn't listen to reason, so he eventually gave up trying to persuade him.
Huang Xiaodong is unpredictable, but Jiang Ning has been sitting there all day.
Grandpa Huang was delighted and took out many prescriptions and medical books to discuss with Jiang Ning.
Traditional Chinese medicine has been suppressed many times in the past, and very few Chinese herbal prescriptions have been passed down to later generations. Jiang Ning is fascinated by traditional Chinese medicine and laments the short-sightedness of those who suppressed it back then.
The prescriptions and medical books that Old Master Huang took out included many that she had never seen before.
Jiang Ning was engrossed in reading medical books, and she would spend the whole day reading them.
The clinic was completely empty all day.
We also encountered some sick people along the way, but they preferred to go to a clinic several miles away for injections and IV drips rather than seek medical treatment at a hospital.
Traditional Chinese medicine treatments are slower to take effect, while Western medicine, though it cannot cure the disease instantly, has a very fast effect.
She can't force someone to come for treatment if they don't want to.
After finishing reading the entire medical book, Jiang Ning glanced at her watch. It was so late!
Shen Mo has already finished his training.
Jiang Ning said goodbye to Grandpa Huang and left.
As dusk fell, Jiang Ning quickened her pace. When she reached the gate of the family compound, she saw Shen Mo coming out of the clinic.
His steps were unsteady, and he looked quite anxious.
He was looking around, as if considering which way to go.
Jiang Ning called his name.
"Shen Mo."
Shen Mo suddenly turned his head and saw Jiang Ning standing not far away.
He paused for a second.
He strode towards Jiang Ning, then turned to running after a couple of steps.
Jiang Ning was quite happy today. She read medical books she had never read before and learned about prescriptions she had never seen before. She even earned two yuan on the first day.
Two yuan wasn't much, but she was still very happy.
Seeing that Shen Mo suddenly wanted to share his joy with him, Jiang Ning was about to speak when Shen Mo ran up to her, but was suddenly pulled into a pair of large hands and forced to rest her head against that hard chest.
Bang, bang—
Bang bang—
Her heartbeat quickened and quickened, exploding in her ears, and his scalding breath landed on her head, burning her with a frightening heat.
The man had a faint scent of soap powder on him, and not much of a sweaty smell. He hated men with a sweaty smell. Shen Mo was very clean and would take a shower before going home after training, and also before going to bed.
Feeling the arms around her tighten, Jiang Ning lifted her head from his embrace. "Wh...what's wrong?"
Her eyes, like pools of autumn water, shimmered with a gentle, shimmering light. Yet, she seemed unaware of how beautiful her eyes were, and the alluring charm she unconsciously revealed in her bewildered state sent shivers down one's spine.
Shen Mo's Adam's apple bobbed, and he put his hand on Jiang Ning's shoulder, asking, "Don't you work at the clinic?"
He didn't go home at noon. When he came home from training in the evening, he remembered that his wife had said she worked at the clinic, so he went to the clinic to pick her up and go home together.
When he arrived at the clinic, he couldn't find his wife. He asked around and learned that the clinic didn't want her to work there.
When Shen Mo got home and didn't see anyone, he rushed to the clinic anxiously to ask where his wife had gone.
But the people at the health center said they didn't know.
As I left the clinic, I finally heard my wife's voice. I hugged her tightly, and the weight that had been on my heart finally lifted.
Jiang Ning shook her head and explained, "No, the clinic doesn't want me. I work at the clinic five miles away."
Shen Mo released Jiang Ning and put his large hands on her shoulders. "It's their loss if the clinic doesn't want you."
Jiang Ning slightly raised her eyes and met his dark, deep gaze, which was cold and deep yet filled with trust.
Hearing his firm and trusting tone, Jiang Ning's heart skipped a beat.
She wasn't actually wronged. No one had ever stood behind her as her support. She had been hard-hearted for too long, and the words of outsiders could never hurt her.
But upon hearing Shen Mo's words, it felt as if something in her otherwise hardened heart had cracked.
"Let's go home quickly."
Jiang Ning and Shen Mo returned home, and as soon as they opened the door, Huo Zhiqi ran out from the main room.
When he saw Jiang Ning, his expression clearly showed relief.
Jiang Ning was happy today. When she went to the kitchen to cook, the two men in the family helped her, and the meal was ready in no time.
However, while cooking, Jiang Ning made eye contact with Zhiqi, who was tending the fire and looking up at her several times.
The child's emotions were impossible to hide; it was clear he had something to say.
After dinner, Zhiqi didn't initiate any conversation with her.
Jiang Ning knew that Huo Zhiqi, because of his own experiences, liked to keep his thoughts to himself and was unwilling to trouble others. Since adopting Zhiqi, the child had been so well-behaved that he hadn't caused her any trouble at all.
I wonder when this child will be able to open up and speak his mind without hesitation.
**
Jiang Ning spent a lot of energy reading the medical books given to her by Grandpa Huang yesterday, and slept exceptionally well and for an exceptionally long time. When she woke up the next day, Zhiqi had already gone to school, and Shen Mo was watering the cultivated land in the yard.
Once the soil is moistened, you can plant whatever you want with ginger and lemon.
Jiang Ning walked out of the room, where a bowl of porridge and an egg were sitting on the table in the main room.
After having breakfast, Shen Mo watered all the soil.
Jiang Ning watched Shen Mo work. This man was really efficient. After watching for a while, she put the last egg white in her mouth and then poured a glass of water into an enamel mug.
She carried the water out of the house; it was for Shen Mo.
"Shen Mo, have some water."
She walked over, but by sheer coincidence, she grabbed something and fell straight forward.
"ah--"
She let out a gasp and was about to fall when a pair of large hands caught her around the waist, and she fell into the man's arms.
Jiang Ning bumped her forehead against his hard chest, and splashed water from her glass all over him.
Seeing that his shirt was completely soaked, she quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe him down.
He kept apologizing, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Jiang Ning wiped the water off him, and as she wiped, she felt that something was wrong. This seemed to be the first time she had touched him like this. Actually, she had been lusting after his well-defined abs for a long time.
I can finally touch my abs openly and honestly!
