Mu Huaixi came back and rested for three days, but he couldn't bear it anymore.
Suddenly returning to her daily life from the busy battlefield, or the daily life of having everything provided for her, really made her feel itchy in her bones.
Ying Mingcheng laughed when he heard her say this, "You are born to be a hard worker. Come, fold the clothes."
Mu Huaixi half-leaned on the bed, raised her foot as if to kick him, but he gently pulled her foot back and kneaded it a few times.
"Is your calf not swollen?" Ying Mingcheng seemed to be rubbing her leg seriously, and his other hand was already moving up along her calf.
Mu Huaixi stared at his movements in surprise, and pushed him a little late, "What are you doing? It's morning!"
"You also know it's morning," Ying Mingcheng was very resentful. Last night, his wife insisted on sleeping with her eldest son. Little Huihui suddenly wanted to find his grandmother in the middle of his sleep and cried for most of the night. He had to hold him and comfort him.
Mu Huaixi pursed her lips, stood up, held his face, and gave him a big kiss. "Thank you for your hard work, heroic father!"
"......", Ying Mingcheng wanted to complain a few more times, but he couldn't hide the raised corners of his mouth. He looked at Xiao Xi who was obviously proud, and suddenly reached out to press the back of her head and gently covered it.
Mu Huaixi's hands and feet became weak from being kissed, and she was not let go until Aunt Da Chu came and knocked on the door to call them for breakfast.
"You really are..." Mu Huaixi glared at him, not realizing that her eyes and eyebrows were so pretty and attractive.
It was strange to say, she and Ying Mingcheng had been married for several years, but their feelings were like fermented rice wine, growing deeper and deeper. Especially after they had been on the battlefield together, their hearts had become even closer.
"That's right," Ying Mingcheng chuckled after hearing her sigh, holding her on his lap and helping her put on her socks. "Those who have been on the battlefield are brothers who have shared life and death together. You and I are not only husband and wife, but also brothers, comrades-in-arms, and revolutionary partners."
"Then why do I feel like I'm at a disadvantage? I have to take on so many roles by myself?" Mu Huaixi blinked.
Ying Mingcheng didn't listen to her nonsense. He picked her up and put her at the door, patting her again, "If you lose, just eat more breakfast."
White sugar cake, corn cake, steamed dumplings, fried dough sticks, hot and sour soup, soy milk...
Mu Huaixi looked at the large table of sumptuous breakfast and was touched. "Aunt Dachu, Aunt Xiaoluo, you have worked hard."
"It's not that hard. We will prepare whatever you want to eat for you at noon," Auntie Xiao Luo smiled and picked up a glutinous rice ball for her, saying that she bought it at the nearby morning market.
In the rainforest, it cannot be said that the food is bad. Occasionally, you can eat delicious mushrooms and wild animals, but most of the time you have simple meals. Occasionally, because of heavy rain and the road is blocked, you have to eat damp fried noodles or porridge for a few days.
She said it lightly, but grandma and two aunts felt extremely distressed.
Grandma Ying even said that she would be given different meals to eat for a whole month to help her recover.
Mu Huaixi rested at home for two more days and then went to report to Shengjing Medical College.
Before she came back, professors from Shengjing Medical College contacted her, hoping that she could come to take extra classes during the summer vacation so that she could keep up with her studies.
At first, Grandma Ying did not agree, fearing that it would be too tiring for her to study while pregnant. However, Mu Huaixi always felt uncomfortable eating and sleeping at home, so she took the initiative to apply to study.
The old professor told her to go directly to his home to look for him. When she arrived, she found out that both the professor and his wife were Chinese medicine practitioners. One taught them pharmacology and the other taught them acupuncture.
"If you learn these two, and take a quick look at the others, you can make up for the exams." The old professor looked at her with a smile, and was slightly surprised when he saw her bulging belly. "Oh, Comrade Xiao Mu, you can balance work and life?"
The master's wife slapped him directly, "You old bastard! What are you talking to the child about?"
Mu Huaixi touched his nose and understood the professor's surprise.
After all, everyone knew that she had gone to the battlefield. Who would have thought that the two of them could produce a "child" in the midst of war?
"Teacher, I will study hard and will not slack off just because I'm pregnant." She knew that this "make-up lesson" opportunity was rare, and if she hadn't gone to fight for her country, the old professor would definitely not have bothered with it.
The Master's wife smiled gently, "Don't believe the saying that pregnancy makes a woman stupid for three years. That's caused by the damage after childbirth. But when a woman is pregnant, she is the most alert and intelligent."
"Huh?" It was the first time that Mu Huaixi heard such words, but when she thought about it carefully, mothers in nature are always the most vigilant when they are nurturing their offspring. For example, Ah Hua from the front yard used to be the most friendly puppy on the whole street, but now she is extremely alert to everyone she sees.
"So you just study hard, finish your classes and the fall semester, and take care of your postpartum confinement during the winter vacation without any delay," the teacher's wife helped her plan very well.
Mu Huaixi was also encouraged and nodded, "I will definitely study hard!"
From then on, Mu Huaixi went to the old professor's house for classes in the morning, studied in the afternoon, and was taken home.
Sometimes it was Ying Mingcheng who came to pick her up, sometimes it was her grandparents, and sometimes the whole family of three came with little Huihui, allowing her to enjoy the family happiness that she had missed out on due to the war.
Mu Huaixi previously thought that there was no need for extra classes, and it would be better to wait until school started and study with the second-grade students.
But after taking two days of classes at the old professor's home, she discovered that the professor was giving her extra lessons not to make up for the missed lessons, but to help her return to her life, or in other words, to get rid of the "smell of arms."
"It is said that after returning from the battlefield, people will smell like gunpowder. I didn't expect that after you went there, the smell of military weapons was so strong." The old professor couldn't help shaking his head while holding the prescription she wrote.
When the old professor gave her extra lessons, he did not read from the textbook, but extracted a case from the book, asked her to analyze, diagnose and prescribe a prescription first, and then commented and answered her questions.
Her prescription was praised as "driving away the King of Hell".
"If someone drinks your prescription, I'm afraid it will heal in one dose, but they'll suffer later." Seeing her stunned, the old professor changed his tone and asked, "What did your family elders say when you were learning Qinglong Decoction?"
Qinglong Decoction is a famous prescription in the Golden Chamber, and it is a prescription that all Chinese medicine practitioners must learn.
Mu Huaixi's grandfather did not teach her this recipe, but the ancestors in the book told her every detail.
Qinglong is divided into large and small. The big Qinglong is suitable for sunstroke, and the small Qinglong is suitable for typhoid fever with unresolved exterior. Both are derived from Mahuang Decoction with additions and subtractions, but they are completely different and cannot be mixed.
"Well said," the old professor praised, and then continued, "Daqinglong and Daqinglong are useful, but they also have many contraindications. Overuse or misuse of Qinglong Decoction can cause serious harm. Do I need to repeat it to you?"
"You now use a butcher knife to treat minor illnesses, and a blue dragon knife to treat dry coughs and fevers."
"You can't always use harsh punishments to govern a country. Think about this carefully."
