Xu Laosan glanced at Yang Chunqin and wondered why his mother seemed to be making conversation for the sake of it.
This was Xu Xinning's first time truly treating a pregnant woman experiencing dystocia. In her previous life, she had also dealt with similar patients alongside her mother, though she had only watched her mother handle the cases.
Speaking of this, we have to mention a few things about her royal aunt. She kept many male concubines and doted on them. She said she was serious about every relationship. Serious relationships inevitably involve children, and since she liked children herself, she had many children. If it weren't for the many health practitioners and nutritionists she kept in the palace, she probably would have been in terrible shape by now.
Later, after she was rescued by her mother during a difficult childbirth, she heard that having too many children was bad for a woman's health. So she resolutely had all her male lovers sterilized. Men are good, but none of them are as important as her own body.
But Xu Xinning knew that she was frightened by her own difficult childbirth.
Xu Xinning went home and took a nap. She didn't know what time she woke up, but she was woken up by the sound of crying outside.
Thinking something had happened, she hurriedly dressed and ran downstairs, where she saw Old Mrs. Xu wiping away tears.
Xu Xinning: "Grandma, what happened?"
Grandma Xu: "Last night there was a typhoon. The leaders of the commune and the county went to fight the typhoon. Who knew that the seawall would break and seawater would flood in, washing away many of the people fighting the typhoon. Several leaders of the commune and the county also went missing. Your great-grandfather's uncle was in the commune, wasn't he? He also went missing. What a tragedy! The pillar of the family is gone. How will this family survive?"
Xu Xinning said in a low voice that she had seen that uncle a few days ago. He was wearing a gray short-sleeved polyester shirt with a pen in the pocket. He had a buzz cut, was tanned dark, and was not tall, but walked very fast, always seeming to be very busy.
That day, he ran into Xu Xinning and asked her if she would like to go to university if she had the chance. He felt that with such good medical skills, she should go out and serve more people.
Xu Xinning initially wanted to say no, but seeing the expectant look in his eyes, she said she could consider it if the opportunity arose.
The uncle laughed heartily when he heard Xu Xinning say that, and said many encouraging words to her.
Xu Xinning knew that he genuinely wanted her to leave, and that he was truly dedicated to serving the people.
He is perhaps an epitome of most leaders of this era; for the people and the country, they are truly willing to dedicate everything, even their lives.
It really proves the saying that you never know whether tomorrow or an accident will come first, so cherish every moment!
The impact of this typhoon was quite significant. Xujiacun Brigade was relatively fortunate, partly due to its advantageous geographical location and partly because the brigade's leadership responded promptly and handled the situation appropriately.
The troops also joined the disaster relief efforts that afternoon.
To Xu Xinning's surprise, Zhao Ming also came. This time, the troops that came to participate in the post-disaster reconstruction were his own troops. Coincidentally, he was assigned to Xujia Village Brigade.
Xu Laosan was the kind of person who loved watching a good show, and as soon as he learned that Zhao Ming had arrived, he immediately ran over to tell Mu Jingheng.
Xu Laosan was excited, even his eyebrows were full of excitement. "Brother, brother, there's a really big deal. My brother Zhao Ming is here."
Mu Jingheng couldn't recall who Zhao Ming was for a moment.
Seeing that Mu Jingheng didn't react, Xu Laosan added, "My brother Zhao Ming, the one who's been very close to my sister since childhood, he's here. I just saw him go to see my sister."
Mu Jingheng's head suddenly buzzed. Why was he here? Was he here to steal Xin'er from him?
Mu Jingheng really wanted to run to find Xu Xinning, but his legs were holding him back, so he hurriedly asked, "Why is he here?"
Xu Laosan hurriedly said, "Didn't he join the army? The unit he's in is here to help with the post-disaster reconstruction. He just happens to be in charge of our area."
Mu Jingheng didn't believe things could be such a coincidence; he felt that Ming was definitely up to no good.
Damn it, are they just taking advantage of his bad legs now?
Mu Jingheng looked at Xu Laosan and said in a spoiled manner, "Laosan, I think I bumped my leg somewhere. It's very uncomfortable now. Go and call your sister to come and take a look at me."
Xu Laosan knew Mu Jingheng would be jealous, and replied with a loud laugh, "Alright! I'll go call my sister right away, and I'll tell her you're in excruciating pain."
Before he could finish speaking, Xu Laosan had already run out.
Excruciating pain? That's unnecessary.
Mu Jingheng raised an eyebrow, suddenly realizing that Xu Laosan seemed to be a little too excited.
Zhao Ming arrived. He knew that the Xu family was in this brigade. He had earned his place here through his own efforts. His family had rushed him to join the army, and he hadn't even said goodbye to Xu Xinning yet. This was something he had always kept in mind.
He did come here with ulterior motives; he wanted to see what Xujia Village was like, and more importantly, he wanted to know if Xu Xinning was used to life here.
In Zhao Ming's mind, Xu Xinning was actually a very spoiled person, and he didn't think she would like rural life.
Zhao Ming felt that rural life was not suitable for Xu Xinning. In his memory, Xu Xinning was always that delicate girl who was always dressed neatly and beautifully and was well protected by her family.
He hadn't seen Xu Xinning yet, but he had met Yang Chunqin, and the two chatted for a while.
Xu Laosan ran to the medical station, panting, where Xu Xinning was prescribing medicine for the brigade members.
Xu Laosan: "Sister, sister, something bad has happened."
Xu Xinning didn't even look up, continuing to weigh her medicine, and casually asked, "What's wrong?"
Xu Laosan wiped the sweat from his brow and said, "My brother Mu's leg is bad, sister, you should go and see him quickly."
Xu Xinning then looked up at Xu Laosan, as if trying to discern something from his face.
She had absolute confidence in her medical skills. It wasn't that she was arrogant; she felt that with the inheritance from her mother and the Ghost Doctor, her medical skills were unmatched. Even if her mother stood in front of her, she would dare to say such a thing.
Xu Laosan felt a little guilty after being looked at by Xu Xinning, but he wanted to watch the show, so he stuck out his neck and said, "I heard my brother Mu groaning in pain. Sister, is there really something wrong with my brother Mu's leg? You have no idea how worried my brother Mu was about you yesterday, otherwise he wouldn't have dragged his crippled leg there, right?"
Xu Xinning didn't expect that Xu Laosan would go to such lengths for Mu Jingheng. It seems that the two are quite compatible. Didn't they used to say that their older sister was the most important person? Why has everything changed now?
Upon hearing Xu Laosan's words, the commune member asked with a smile, "Laosan, is this educated youth Mu dating your sister?"
Xu Laosan lowered his head guiltily. He dared not say that his sister and Mu Jingheng were dating. His sister had not admitted it yet. If his mother found out, she would beat him to death.
