Chapter 447 School Opening
Jiang Ning wasn't surprised to receive calls from international numbers. She replied, "Yes, Mr. Qiao De."
As soon as she finished speaking, the person on the other end of the phone began to breathe heavily.
Jiang Ning asked knowingly, "Mr. Qiao De is interested in the medicine that can cure the Black Death."
She knew a little about the Black Death. Inland China, the plague did not break out frequently, but in Europe it spread rapidly, resulting in as many as 50 million deaths, and there were several large-scale outbreaks.
It took multiple outbreaks of the epidemic to gradually bring the spread of the plague under control.
Although large-scale outbreaks of plague can now be controlled, once an outbreak occurs, the pathogen can spread rapidly, causing death.
Now that she has developed a cure for the Black Death, countries in Europe will surely come knocking on her door.
So she wasn't surprised by Jode's call.
"Dr. Jiang, you are a genius doctor! If I were twenty years younger, I would definitely marry you and make you my First Lady!" After saying this, Qiao De realized that he was too excited and said, "Dr. Jiang, please forgive my rudeness. I was still too excited, so I said such things."
"Our country also recently experienced a Black Death outbreak, with tens of thousands of deaths. Their passing saddened me greatly. Some even died from the disease, and I couldn't return their bodies to their families; I could only cremate them. I learned that your country had experienced an outbreak of the disease, yet you brought it under complete control in just two months. This is something only a god could do!"
"Dr. Jiang, you are a god to the people!"
Qiao De became more and more excited as he spoke, and Jiang Ning was almost embarrassed by what he said.
Jiang Ning interrupted his elaborate flattery, "Mr. Qiao De, do you want to buy medicine?"
"Yes, I have already had someone contact your Chinese health department. I'm making this call simply to express my admiration for Dr. Jiang."
Jiang Ning: "......"
Since she was the buyer, Jiang Ning politely said, "Thank you for your purchase."
Qiao De said, "Dr. Jiang, please don't say that. If the Black Death can be cured, the entire nation of D will thank you. You are a god to our country..."
When Qiao De's flattery showed no signs of stopping, Jiang Ning quickly hung up the phone.
Just as Jiang Ning hung up the phone, Dean Kong said with a teasing smile, "Dr. Jiang, someone wants to marry you and make you the First Lady!"
Jiang Ning realized that Dean Kong was just teasing her.
Now that the Black Death is under control, Dean Kong's tightly furrowed brows have relaxed.
He's been in an exceptionally good mood lately, feeling like he'll live a few more years.
Suddenly, the little boy Shen Lezhi, who was sitting next to Jiang Ning, looked up and asked, "Mommy, Daddy has already married you, can anyone else marry you?"
Upon hearing this, Dean Kong squatted down and told Xiao Le, "Of course not, unless your mother and father divorce. Only after the divorce can someone else marry your mother."
After listening to what the dean said, Shen Lezhi nodded and gave a thoughtful "oh".
Listening to the conversation between the old man and the child, Jiang Ning couldn't help but chuckle.
Children in this age group are curious about everything.
It was this girl's curiosity that caused her to strain her back.
That day after work, Shen Mo drove to pick up his mother and daughter. As soon as Shen Lezhi saw her father, she happily rushed over and hugged his leg.
Shen Mo also doted on his beloved daughter. Just as he was about to squat down, he heard the little girl innocently say, "Daddy, someone said they want to marry Mommy. Will you divorce Mommy? Grandpa Dean said that you have to divorce Mommy so that someone else can marry her."
Jiang Ning had never seen the smile-disappearing technique so clearly before.
The man, who had never been stern with his daughter before, now said to her with a serious expression, "Zhizhi, Mommy won't divorce Daddy, understand?"
"Oh." Shen Lezhi nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
Seeing the changes in Shen Mo's expression, Jiang Ning suddenly remembered that she had come to the capital to divorce this man.
They drifted apart and eventually disappeared from each other's lives, eventually living like an old married couple.
The two adults and one child returned to the courtyard, but as they entered, Shen Mo said he had to go out for a while.
He didn't stay out for long; he returned quickly.
That night, during their lovemaking, Jiang Ning was so exhausted that she begged for mercy, and Shen Mo finally let her go.
Afterwards, Shen Mo hugged his wife, breathing rapidly.
Jiang Ning rolled over and almost fell off the bed, but Shen Mo immediately pulled her into his arms.
Jiang Ning, nestled in his arms, looked up at the man whose breathing had gradually calmed down, and whispered, "Are you jealous because you heard someone say they want to marry me?"
Shen Mo paused, his hand stroking her back.
After a few seconds of silence, she gave a soft "hmm".
He said, "After all, someone wants to marry my wife and make her the First Lady."
Jiang Ning was somewhat surprised upon hearing this, "You went to see the dean?"
Shen Mo coughed lightly, a hint of embarrassment flashing across his face.
When he heard the word "divorce" from his daughter, he wanted to know what had happened, so he couldn't help but call Dean Kong.
He wanted to know who was after his wife.
Only after asking did I learn the other person's identity.
He also knew that it was impossible for his wife to be with the other man.
He knew that a grown man shouldn't overthink things, but he was just too sensitive to the word "divorce." He still remembered that when his wife came to the capital to find him, she was there to divorce him.
He was quite startled when his daughter suddenly brought it up.
Seeing that Shen Mo cared about this matter, she suddenly wanted to tease him, raising an eyebrow and asking, "If I really brought up divorce, would you agree?"
Then she felt the force around her waist tighten even more.
Shen Mo's mind immediately cleared, and he wrapped his arms around her slender waist, his voice hoarse, "Ningning, we can never be apart in this lifetime."
Seeing that he reacted strongly to the word "divorce," Jiang Ning said, "Shen Mo, I will never mention divorce to you in my life."
She made the promise because she didn't want him to feel insecure.
After all, when their relationship wasn't very deep, Shen Mo always avoided talking about this topic. Now that they're an old married couple, I didn't expect him to be anxious about this.
Shen Mo's arms, which had been tightening, loosened upon hearing this. "Wife, I understand."
Hearing his wife's promise, Shen Mo was in a great mood. He carried her to wash up, and then they went back to bed and fell asleep in each other's arms.
***
After Jode said he wanted to buy medicine to treat the Black Death, Jiang Ning stopped paying attention to the matter.
The holiday is over, and it's September.
Lezhi and Nanxing are about to start primary school, and Jiang Ning only started preparing school supplies for them as the start date approached.
However, before she could prepare, Zhiqi pulled out two brand-new military green satchels from the house.
Each set contains a complete set of school supplies, including pens, notebooks, and more.
Before starting school, Lezhi followed her mother to and from the hospital to observe and learn medical skills, while Nanxing was specially approved by Deputy Division Commander Liang to join the army to improve his physique.
While other children were still rolling around in the mud, these two little ones had already learned quite a bit.
As for basic subjects like pinyin and math, Zhiqi teaches his younger siblings after school.
Lezhi can now give acupuncture, but she only has one target: her beloved father.
Nanxing trained with the army for several months and is now able to fight with dogs.
One day, outside the family compound, he saw an aunt's son being chased by a dog. He rushed over and chased the dog away.
For this, the aunt's family even came to his door to thank him in person.
Looking at the children in the family compound, Nanxing felt a surge of responsibility. He was now able to protect others!
On August 30th, Jiang Ning and Shen Mo, along with Zhi Qi, took Le Zhi and Nan Xing to school to register.
Nowadays, when students register at schools, they have to participate in a land clearing activity. This family of five brought small shovels to the area that had been designated by the school to start weeding.
Lezhi loves learning about medicine. When Jiang Ning was teaching her to identify herbs, she would also teach Lezhi how to care for them. Lezhi was very familiar with these things.
As for Nanxing, he has inexhaustible energy all day long, and this intensity is nothing compared to the training his father gave him in the army.
The area allocated to their family of five was completed in a short time.
After clearing the land and registering for school, the family of five went home. The school officially started the next day.
