Sheng An Ning saw An Xiuyu's expression as if she had seen a ghost, and was a little surprised: "Sister Xiuyu, what's wrong with you?"
An Xiuyu swallowed and looked at Sheng Anning: "Is this your man?"
Sheng Anning nodded: "Yes, do you know him?"
An Xiuyu quickly shook her head: "I don't know him, I'm going back to the dormitory now, you go ahead and do your work."
She hurried away with her child and some things on her back. Sheng An Ning was obviously relieved when she saw her. She patted her chest and looked at Zhou Shixun in confusion. Then she turned her head and looked at An Xiuyu who was walking away. She was a little surprised: "Why do I feel like I saw a ghost? You don't look scary."
After sending Zhou Shixun back to the ward, he checked the time and said, "I'll go ask Sister Xiuyu, and then go to the cafeteria to buy food. If your parents come, tell them not to buy food. I'll take them out to eat later."
If she doesn't figure it out, she will always be worried about it.
When they arrived at the dormitory, An Xiuyu was feeding her child and was still a little dazed. When she heard Sheng Anning come in, she was obviously startled: "Why are you back?"
Sheng An Ning moved a stool and sat down opposite An Xiuyu: "Have you seen my man? Or something happened to you, otherwise why are you so scared?"
An Xiuyu patted her chest, still obviously a little scared: "Your man looks very much like the ghost I told you about before, the one we found in our village."
Sheng An Ning thought for a while before remembering: "The one you mentioned who suddenly revived from the dead and was soaked in water so that his appearance could not be seen clearly?"
An Xiuyu nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, it's him. Your man looks so much like him."
Sheng An Ning was a little confused: "Didn't you say that they were swollen and couldn't be seen? How could you recognize that they looked very similar? If a person soaks for a long time, his facial features will be deformed."
An Xiuyu shook her head: "No, I look like a human being. I'm not lying to you, or I swear in front of the light that I will die if I lie."
Sheng An Ning quickly pressed her hand: "I'm just curious, why do you still swear? Are they really that similar?"
An Xiuyu nodded: "Yes, exactly the same."
Sheng An Ning felt that there was a big problem here, but seeing that An Xiuyu didn't seem to be lying, and she had just sworn in a hurry, she didn't want to ask any more questions.
He stood up and took the lunch box from the windowsill: "Then you feed the child first, I'll go get the food."
An Xiuyu nodded quickly, and waited until Sheng An Ning walked out of the dormitory before she breathed a sigh of relief. She had thought that Sheng An Ning's man was the dead man found in the village before.
…
Sheng Anning didn't believe An Xiuyu's words. The logic was obviously unreasonable. But think about it from another angle. If what An Xiuyu said was true, then the person who looked exactly like Zhou Shixun was most likely Zhou Luancheng.
But Zhou Luancheng had already sacrificed his life on the front line. This place is some distance away from the front line, and the location doesn’t match.
Sheng An Ning felt like she had a hundred thousand whys and there were too many things she couldn't figure out.
Coming out of the cafeteria, I happened to meet the old man in the mailroom: "Xiao Sheng, don't you come here every day to ask if there are any letters for you? This morning, a registered letter arrived from the provincial capital."
Sheng An Ning didn't care about anything else for a moment, and was a little surprised: "Really? I'll go with you to get it now."
I first went to the mailroom at the main gate to pick up a letter, and it turned out to be from the editorial department of a journal in the provincial capital. I anxiously put the lunch box on the table beside me and opened the letter to read it.
It was a very thick letter, containing a stack of English manuscripts and a letter from the editor.
The letter highly praised Sheng Anning's English level and said that he did not expect to find such an outstanding talent in a place like Longbei. Then he asked for the manuscripts to be translated into Chinese. After passing the review, he would be paid 15 yuan.
Sheng Anning flipped through the manuscript and found that the fee was 15 yuan for translating more than a dozen pages, which was quite a lot.
This will also be the first money she earns in this world.
Just thinking about it made me happy. I put the letter back into the envelope, kept it away carefully, then put it in my pocket and patted it.
I was in a good mood and carried the lunch box back to the ward. I was so happy that I forgot what An Xiuyu said for a moment. Zhou Nanguang and Zhong Wenqing were both in the ward.
At this time, Zhong Wenqing was sitting beside the bed with tears in her eyes, wiping her tears with a handkerchief, which surprised Sheng An Ning. What happened after she was away for a while?
He questioned Zhou Shixun with his eyes.
Zhou Shixun was also helpless. He didn't know what Lu Yuanda had said to Zhou Nanguang and Zhong Wenqing. Zhong Wenqing had been crying since she came in.
Sheng An Ning put the lunch box on the bedside table and went to hold Zhong Wenqing's arm: "Why are you crying again? Did something happen?"
Zhong Wenqing wiped her tears and said, "The doctor just now said that Shi Xun was injured many times. He also said that during the most difficult times, there was no one to take care of him. He was issued several critical illness notices, but no family members were around..."
Sheng An Ning comforted him, "It's all in the past. Besides, if he was injured at that time, his family might not be able to come immediately after notification. Besides, he is not fine now. We should try to look forward while we are alive. You can't always be so sad. We should be happy."
Zhou Nanguang nodded in agreement: "Yes, An Ning is right, Shi Xun is fine now. We are lucky to have met him in our lifetime. Let's not have any regrets in the future."
Zhong Wenqing also cried: "I just feel heartbroken. He has been carrying everything alone for so many years."
Sheng An Ning patted her shoulder: "It's okay, he will not be alone anymore with me and you guys. I'll take you to dinner first."
After hearing this, Zhong Wenqing wiped away her tears and agreed with Sheng Anning that they would treat Zhou Shixun well in the future.
Sheng An Ning handed the lunch box to Zhou Shixun: "The canteen makes pot-lid noodles, you eat some first, we will bring you something else after dinner."
Zhou Shixun was not picky: "No, after you finish eating, go to the guesthouse and get a room and have a good rest."
Zhou Nanguang walked out a step slower and looked at Zhou Shixun: "Can we talk when we have time in the evening?"
Zhou Shixun nodded slowly: "Okay."
Zhou Nanguang smiled with relief: "You are excellent, even better than I thought."
Sheng Anning took Zhou Nanguang and Zhong Wenqing to a nearby state-owned canteen for a quick meal. There was nothing lively in the small city, and there were no special snacks.
Besides, Zhong Wenqing's current mood is all focused on Zhou Shixun, and she has no mood to eat anything else.
I ordered three pounds of cabbage and pork dumplings, and then waited for dinner.
Zhou Nanguang chatted with Sheng Anning: "I just heard from Dr. Lu in the hospital that you are studying medicine. Do you want to be a doctor in the future?"
Sheng Anning answered honestly: "Yes."
Zhou Nanguang thought about it and said, "What if I can help you study in the best hospital in Beijing and then stay in Beijing to be a doctor?"
Sheng Anning refused without a second thought: "No, I'll be wherever Zhou Shixun is, and I think I can be the best wherever I am."
Zhou Nanguang smiled gently: "Mr. Cheng's granddaughter is indeed different."
