Hernia surgery requires laparotomy. There was no anesthesiologist in the health center, so they used Mu Huaixi's homemade "Ma Li San".
Ma Li powder is made of Ma Li as the main ingredient, with added ingredients such as Aconitum, Frankincense, and Sheep Taro. These raw materials are all poisonous. If Jiang Wenyuan had not trusted her, Mu Huaixi would not have made this thing.
When giving Hu Bing the medicine, Mu Huaixi hesitated a little. After thinking about it, she decided to add a little more than the normal amount. It was not because she wanted to arrest anyone, but because Hu Bing fainted from the pain and was awakened by Dr. Jiang's approach, which meant that he might have received anti-anesthesia training.
But contrary to Mu Huaixi's expectations, she added some more loose ingredients and did not pour out Hu Bing's medicine after drinking a bowl. He hesitated for three breaths and wanted to pretend to faint, but Mu Huaixi saw through it.
"You have a really good physique. You will definitely recover well after the operation." Mu Huaixi pretended to be ignorant and praised Hu Bing. He then made him another bowl of tea, which he poured out after finishing it.
The operation ended around noon, and Mu Huaixi continued to see patients and prescribe medicine for them who had been waiting since morning. It was almost two o'clock before he had time to eat.
She hurriedly finished her meal and went to the side of the mountain to wash the dishes. When she came back, she slowly walked to the window and saw that the note she had placed there had obviously been touched. When she opened it, she saw a reply that was as steady as her own.
"I know."
"If you're going out for a few days, remember to put away your clothes."
She held the note and couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth. Although she and Ying Mingcheng had been separated for some time, she felt that the tacit understanding between them had reached a new level.
After telling Ying Mingcheng about her discovery, she finally felt at ease. As for how the group would handle the situation and how things would continue, it had nothing to do with her. But she believed that Ying Mingcheng and his team would handle it properly.
The days in the health center passed slowly, and the Dragon Boat Festival soon arrived.
On the eve of the festival, Mu Huaixi received a huge expedited package sent from Northeast China. It contained a variety of mountain products, bacon, dried fruits, and several light and comfortable skirts.
The letter written by grandma was full of concern and was seven or eight pages long. Mu Huaixi felt her eyes sore as she read it. Before she could wipe away her tears, she received another telegram hurriedly sent back by Ying Mingcheng.
"Xiao Mu! Ming Cheng! After much thought, I decided I should go see you guys. Let's go now!"
When Ying Mingcheng called them to tell them about her pregnancy, her grandparents said they wanted to come over, but the climate in the mountains was so different from that at home that they were worried that the two old people would not be used to it, so they did not agree.
Mr. Ying finally got angry, but it was his grandmother who persuaded him and said that she would let an aunt in the family come to take care of her. Unexpectedly, the two of them still came.
"Didn't grandma say she couldn't come?"
"She's still worried about you," Ying Mingcheng shook his head, and suddenly froze for a moment, "Maybe she's worried about me."
Aunt Da Chu in the family watched him grow up. She couldn't control him when he was a child. When he grew up and always had a cold face, it was even more impossible to discipline him. Grandma was worried that he would do something wrong, so she had to come and check on him to feel at ease.
"Then where will grandpa and grandma live?" Mu Huaixi was actually very excited and happy to see the two old people, but soon she started to worry. Their house was not very big. She originally planned to convert the place on the first floor where the dining table and medicine cabinet were now placed into a small house so that Aunt Da Chu could live there.
But if grandparents come too, there will definitely not be enough room for them.
"They won't be staying long, they'll just stay in the guesthouse," Ying Mingcheng shook his head and said hesitantly, "Actually - the logistics department asked me today if we want to expand our home."
"Can our house be expanded?" Mu Huaixi was a little surprised, but when he thought about it carefully, there was enough space around each small building, so it could indeed be expanded.
Ying Mingcheng nodded. "It's not much. Just add a small room on the first floor of each house and clean up the yard for everyone."
It is true that the battalion headquarters did not consider everything carefully when it first built the family compound. They did not expect that everyone would bring their families with them and there would not be enough space for every household.
"Should we convert the balcony on the second floor into another room? What if it's not big enough in the future? It won't bother others all the time..." Mu Huaixi originally wanted to add another bedroom upstairs so that even if grandpa and grandma live there permanently, they can still have a lively time at home. However, Ying Mingcheng's sudden passionate gaze made her hesitate, and she couldn't help but think of the seven gourd brothers in Sister Hongxia's house.
"I, I didn't think of anything else," Mu Huaixi couldn't help blushing and glared at him.
Ying Mingcheng couldn't help laughing, but seeing that she was about to explode, he turned his head away out of courtesy, and his shoulders couldn't help but tremble.
Mu Huaixi rushed over and punched him, "What are you laughing at!"
But as soon as she finished speaking, she couldn't help laughing. The two looked at each other and stood together laughing.
After laughing, Ying Mingcheng gently placed his hand on her belly, "I heard that when he grows up a little bit, he will be able to greet me through his belly."
"Really?" Mu Huaixi had never experienced this period before, so she couldn't help but look forward to it. She put her hand in his hand, and the two of them waited foolishly for a long time.
"There's no movement at all?"
Ying Mingcheng coughed awkwardly, "It should be... it's not the month yet, right?"
"I think so." Mu Huaixi didn't act like a doctor at all. She looked more like a silly new pregnant woman. "You should be able to feel it when you come back after the competition."
In the military district competition in May, the Fourth Battalion undoubtedly won many first places. After resting, they will go to Jiangcheng to compete with brothers from other military districts.
Although Mu Huaixi didn't ask much about things in the military camp, he learned from Brother Song that if the Fourth Battalion could win the championship in this competition, Ying Mingcheng's promotion to a regular member would be a sure thing.
Although Ying Mingcheng didn't say anything to her, the frequency and intensity of training since he came back from the mission were obviously much higher than before. He might not be doing this for the position of battalion commander. After all, whether the Fourth Battalion can win the title of independent battalion depends on this time!
There wasn't much Mu Huaixi could do. Besides taking care of the house, she also reconfigured the medicinal bath recipe. This time, the experimental subjects were the young men from the Fourth Battalion. They had good health and active blood circulation, so she removed some blood-activating herbs and changed it to a dampness-removing and wound-healing medicinal bath suitable for the solar term.
She believed that hard work would not betray her, and she also believed that with her support, the Fourth Battalion's expedition this time would definitely have a good result!
On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Mu Huaixi heard good news: Ying Mingcheng and the brothers of the Fourth Battalion followed the line of Tang Xiaotang and Hu Bing, and wiped out three spy points buried in the mountains in one fell swoop, arrested more than a dozen people, and made a great contribution!
