Chapter 90: Hitting the Target



Xiao Gangdan is the youngest son of Political Commissar Li. A few years ago, he took a train to the military region by himself, and then took a supply convoy into the mountains, giving his father a big surprise.

Little Steel Egg is a typical military fan. As soon as he arrived, he led the children in the yard to play war games. He didn't want to be a political commissar, but a stormtrooper, holding a small wooden gun and biubiubiu everywhere.

Political Commissar Li also brought his youngest son to the group wedding on the morning of the first day of the new year. He was very brave and ran around among the newlyweds, being praised again and again. Finally, he rushed to Political Commissar Li who was presiding over the ceremony and insisted on going out to play.

Political Commissar Li had no choice but to pick him up and let him say a few words of blessing to his uncles and aunts.

Little Gangdan was a sharp man. He rolled his eyes, raised his little hand, and saluted like a doll in a New Year painting. He said loudly, "I wish my uncle and aunt a happy New Year, good health, prosperity, and a long-lasting marriage!"

"good!!"

The little guy's enthusiastic blessings drew applause from the crowd, and some people even teased him, "One more!"

He was also very proud of the applause and cheers, and raised his beloved little wooden gun, "I wish my uncle and aunt will hit the target every time!"

The cafeteria was silent for a moment, and then erupted into thunderous laughter.

Political Commissar Li was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He stroked his son's newly shaved head and gently patted him on the butt.

Children's words are naturally full of innocence, but when these words fall into the ears of a group of adults, they become less serious.

Mu Huaixi was also amused at that time, but she had long forgotten about it. Ying Mingcheng brought it up again, which reminded her of the passionate moments on the kang just now. She slapped Ying Mingcheng hard, but he counterattacked her.

"It's almost dawn. Let's move around and have breakfast before going to bed!" Ying Mingcheng kissed her while trying to find an excuse. "I thought you were tired, but you still have so much energy."

Mu Huaixi was kissed so hard that she couldn't breathe. It was not until she was so tired that she wanted to close her eyes immediately that a vague thought emerged in her mind: Ying Mingcheng was becoming more and more domineering. He was not like this before.

Ying Mingcheng had changed. He couldn't stand Xiaoxi calling him by his full name anymore and insisted that she call him Brother Cheng like she did that night. Mu Huaixi finally found the reason for his abnormal behavior last night. It turned out to be because of her calling him "Brother Cheng."

The Spring Festival holiday was very relaxing. After Ying Mingcheng learned that she went to the mountain to read every morning, he took her to climb the mountain early. When they reached the top of the mountain, he went to the forest to train. After she finished reading, they went down the mountain together.

Fortunately, the canteen was closed on a rotating basis during the Chinese New Year. Mu Huaixi read books and pondered prescriptions every day, while Ying Mingcheng did carpentry work outside the house. Except for a late New Year's Eve dinner, the two of them basically ate everything in the canteen.

Mu Huaixi was very satisfied with this arrangement, and felt that it was very comfortable for the two of them not to have to be together all the time. But at some point, people in the family compound started talking about the two of them. Some said that she had made Deputy Battalion Commander Ying lazy. He would not eat breakfast until almost noon every day, and did not cook three meals a day. What a lazy woman!

The lazy woman didn't hear these rumors until the fifth day of the New Year. At that time, she was already sitting in the clinic seeing patients. Looking at Qiu Beibei who told her the news, she shook her head helplessly.

"Thank you. It's a good thing you told me today. If you had told me before, I'm afraid it would have ruined my good mood for rest."

She and Ying Mingcheng almost always went to the cafeteria after mealtime these days. It was known that they had all three meals in the cafeteria. Since the words were so harsh, it was obvious that the person was Wang Xiaoshui.

She had caused a lot of trouble at the last Wen Ju Banquet, and was dismissed by Ying Mingcheng with just a few words before things even got out of hand. Now it seems that he has completely held a grudge against their family. This kind of rumor is not serious, and at most it will only tarnish her reputation. However, she is not planning to become a saint, so it doesn't matter if people talk about it a few times.

Mu Huaixi knew that as long as she continued to treat patients and hone her medical skills, people would only think more highly of her. After all, no one would easily offend a doctor who could save lives at a critical moment. However, this only applied to normal people. She didn't bother to figure out what people like Wang Xiaoshui were thinking.

Qiu Beibei didn't expect her to react like this. After a moment of hesitation, she started giggling. Her laughter was as clear and sweet as a bird in the morning, and Mu Huaixi couldn't help but laugh along with her.

"You're really interesting," Qiu Beibei smiled as she took out a small, beautifully packaged box from her bag and placed it on the table. "This is the Xie Fuchun vanishing cream I brought from Shanghai. It's a gift for you."

"Thank you, but you can't accept it," Mu Huaixi waved her hands quickly. She knew that Qiu Beibei was grateful for her massage for Xiaobao that night, but Qiu Beibei sent her bacon the next day, so she had already paid her for it.

Qiu Beibei insisted that she accept it, "I have something to ask of you. If you don't accept it, how can I ask for it?"

"this......"

"I still want to be friends with you, but you don't accept this. I'm so frustrated~" Qiu Beibei pulled her arm coquettishly.

She had a baby face and a sweet and sticky voice. Mu Huaixi was quickly defeated. "What can I do for you? I don't know much except medical skills..."

"It's medical skills!" Qiu Beibei's eyes lit up. "I saw you use a lot of massage techniques that night, and Xiaobao's fever went down without much suffering. So I wanted to ask if there is anything I can learn to reduce fever, cure diarrhea, or something like that. That way, I won't be so panicked when Xiaobao gets into trouble."

Li Fengjuan, who was listening nearby, suddenly interrupted, "The massage and acupuncture that Doctor Mu performs are all based on acupuncture points. If you want to learn, you have to start by identifying the acupuncture points, which is not easy."

"Is that so?" Qiu Beibei was very disappointed. Xiaobao was a premature baby, and she had been raising him carefully, but he still had minor illnesses all the time.

After hearing her concerns, Mu Huaixi recalled the night she took Xiaobao's pulse and said, "You've taken good care of the child. Xiaobao doesn't look like a premature baby at all."

"real?!"

"Really. Children are prone to feeling unwell, but don't worry too much, and don't confine them indoors out of worry. More sunshine and more running around will keep them healthy."

Qiu Beibei nodded. "You said the same thing as Dr. Yu from the Shanghai Maternal and Child Health Hospital. I won't restrict Xiaobao, but he's just too annoying sometimes."

"It's better to be energetic and make you angry than to be sick, right?"

"That's true." Qiu Beibei was stunned again, and suddenly said with emotion, "If you become a mother, you will definitely be a good mother."

"I haven't thought about that," Mu Huaixi shook his head and didn't continue the topic. Instead, he talked about the massage that Qiu Beibei mentioned earlier. "Massage does require identifying acupoints, but if some acupoints are pressed and rubbed, it can also be effective. I can share it with you after I sort it out."

"Really?" Qiu Beibei's eyes lit up. She glanced at Mu Huaixi and said, "If possible, can you share it with everyone in the family compound?"

Qiu Beibei felt that Dr. Mu was a gentle and kind person who devoted himself to medical skills and did not care much about other people's opinions. However, rumors could sometimes ruin a person. She thought that if Dr. Mu shared the method of acupressure with the sisters-in-law in the family compound, she would be more cautious when talking about him behind his back.

Mu Huaixi didn't think so much about it. She had too many things to do and really didn't want to waste time on trivial matters.
