When the old master of the Wu family learned that Mu Jingheng and Xu Xinning had arrived, he came out with a smile.
Old Master Wu: "This belly is growing really fast. I heard your grandfather bragging to people that it's twins, a boy and a girl. This has made the old man extremely happy. Although we live in the same compound, it's really been a long time since we've seen each other."
Mu Jingheng: "Who says otherwise? Everyone leaves early and returns late, so it's quite rare to see them."
Grandpa Wu: "Is the young lady seeing patients at the General Hospital of the Military Region recently?"
Xu Xinning: "Yes, Grandpa Wu."
Grandpa Wu: "Your grandfather is truly blessed. We used to laugh at him for not having many descendants, but look at him now, he's better than anyone else. His two grandsons are both outstanding, and the wives he married are beyond the reach of others."
Mu Jingheng said modestly, "Grandpa Wu, you flatter me. I'm a well-known spoiled brat in this compound!"
Old Master Wu laughed heartily, "Wasn't that just a stopgap measure? Who's as shrewd as you?"
Mu Jingheng chuckled.
Old Master Wu: "What brings you here today?"
Mu Jingheng: "My aunt had some trouble at the department store yesterday, so we came over to check on her while we had some free time."
The old man of the Wu family narrowed his eyes and glanced at his second daughter-in-law, then said, hiding his emotions, "She knows her own affairs. You don't need to waste your time on such a small matter. Go do what you need to do!"
Mu Jingheng: "Understood, Grandpa Wu. Then we won't sit down. We'll have to ask you for a piece of your calligraphy sometime when we have time. Our room is lacking a bit of cultural atmosphere."
The old man of the Wu family raised his cane as if to hit Mu Jingheng, and said in an annoyed tone, "You're just making fun of me. You know I don't have any skills and I'm just here for amusement. How could I possibly have the ability to make you hang this up? It would be better if your grandfather just casually showed off his skills than if I did."
Mu Jingheng chuckled and covered his bottom, saying, "I'm telling the truth, why are you so self-deprecating?"
Old Master Wu waved his hand, "Let's go, let's go, I'll come to your house for a drink next time."
Mu Jingheng helped Xu Xinning up and said, "Alright! You absolutely have to come."
Every time Old Master Wu visited the Mu family, Old Master Mu would give him a bottle of pills made by Xu Xinning herself. After taking them for a while, Old Master Wu felt much better than before.
To avoid suspicion, the medicine for the old master of the Wu family was secretly provided by the Mu family.
Wu's second daughter-in-law saw Xu Xinning and the others off at the door. Just as she reached the gate, she saw her adopted son returning from outside.
Xu Xinning also saw Yu Mei's back.
These two people are said to be a couple, but they don't seem like a couple. They're not a couple, yet they're often together, and they act and talk in a mysterious way.
Following Xu Xinning's gaze, Wu's second daughter-in-law also saw Yu Mei's back.
Wu's second daughter-in-law stared intently at Yu Mei's retreating figure, her expression not showing any joy.
Perhaps Yu Mei sensed it, for she turned around with a bright smile, as if they were old friends, and waved to Xu Xinning as well: "You're here too! Goodbye!"
The adopted son pulled Wu's second daughter-in-law inside.
Xu Xinning glanced at the adopted son and said to Mu Jingheng, "This person is very hostile towards us, isn't he?"
Mu Jingheng: "Who cares? This guy doesn't look like a good person at all. Uncle Wu didn't acknowledge his status as an adopted son, but he's shameless enough to make it official himself."
Xu Xinning laughed: "That's because they're very skilled."
My week-long consultation at the military general hospital passed quickly, and I then went to Kyoto First People's Hospital.
If we're talking about who had the hardest time this week, it would definitely be Du Changpu.
He had to be Xu Xinning's assistant while studying, and he also had to take care of his school courses. Moreover, transportation was not very convenient in those days, and he lost a lot of weight in a week.
Compared to Du Changpu, Ouyang Changshan was much better.
Although he was Xu Xinning's assistant, Ouyang Changshan couldn't get close to her at all because Mu Jingheng protected her every day. So, for the past week, he had become the team's assistant, helping this person and that person. Although it was a bit tiring, he had learned a lot.
If she hadn't mentioned that she had two assistants, Xu Xinning would have almost forgotten about them.
Unexpectedly, I ran into an acquaintance on my first day at the People's Hospital.
Not only Xu Xinning saw it, but Mu Jingheng had also noticed it long ago.
Xu Xinning glanced at Ouyang Changshan curiously. Seeing his calm expression, Xu Xinning knew that he already knew Ye Jiang worked here.
It is said that one should not have the heart to harm others, but one should not be without the heart to guard against others.
Ever since Xu Xinning met Ye Jiang, she has paid special attention to her work and the people around her, even her patients.
Xu Xinning could never forget Ye Jiang's eyes in the rain that day.
She didn't think she had done anything wrong, but some people just couldn't understand her using normal thinking.
The hatred in Ye Jiang's eyes that day was insane, so Xu Xinning believed that she would also do something crazy when they weren't paying attention.
Around noon, a nurse came to call Ouyang Changshan, saying that someone was looking for him downstairs.
Ouyang Changshan was afraid it was Ye Jiang again, so he lingered and didn't go down. But soon a woman came up, carrying a thermos.
There were two types of insulated containers in this era: one with a plastic exterior and the other with a rattan exterior. However, regardless of the type, the inner liner was the same, made of the same material as a thermos, except that the insulated container was a bit shorter and wider.
The woman smiled when she saw Ouyang Changshan: "You must be Changshan? I'm so glad to meet you. You are indeed a handsome man."
Just then, Xu Xinning returned from the restroom and stepped into the consultation room, where she saw Ouyang Changshan talking to a woman.
Xu Xinning greeted with a smile, "Oh! Do you know someone here?"
Ouyang Changshan habitually pulled out a chair for Xu Xinning, saying coldly, "I don't know this person."
Xu Xinning gave the embarrassed woman a strange look.
However, the woman's embarrassment was fleeting, and she then stared at Xu Xinning and asked, "Who is she?"
Xu Xinning frowned. Why did this recipe seem so familiar?
Could this be one of Ouyang Changshan's old admirers?
How come this person has so many suitors?
Is she a mentor or a shield?
Ouyang Changshan asked without any politeness, "And who are you?"
The woman's face darkened, and she said, "Ouyang Changshan, is the child in this woman's belly yours? How could you do this? You already have a child and you're still playing with another girl's feelings. I'm going to sue you!"
Xu Xinning immediately chimed in, "Ma'am, please don't be so self-righteous. Don't jump to conclusions."
The woman pointed at Xu Xinning and said, "The facts are right in front of you, what else can you argue about?"
At this moment, Mu Jingheng walked in with a stern face and said, "Who are you? If you want to cause trouble, go outside."
