Chapter 151: Able to Stand Up



Old Zhou looked down at the photo frame in his hand and put it on the table next to him.

The photo frame shows a family of three, smiling very happily.

Sheng Kangning saw it and said, "Director Zhou, I heard from Brother Chu about Sister Xue's matter. The dead cannot be resurrected. Lu Yuan is still young. You..."

Sheng Kangning is not the kind of person who is good at speaking.

Lao Zhou nodded and smiled: "Thank you, tell me about your work!"

"Director Zhou, I almost forgot. Please ask Lu Yuan to come over. Let's eat first. Brother Feng in the cafeteria asked me to bring you breakfast. It will get cold if you don't eat it now! Besides, I came here today to ask about work and to check your legs. You should eat first."

Sheng Kangning shook the net bag in his hand: "Director Zhou, where is the table for you to eat?"

Sheng Kangning looked around and couldn't make any decision on his own, so he could only ask.

Lao Zhou smiled and pointed to the table next to him:

“Just put it on there!”

Sheng Kangning put the net bag on the table and took out the lunch box from it, which contained porridge, steamed buns, and pickles.

Old Zhou shouted inside: "Lu Yuan! Bring Xiaobao out to eat!"

Lu Yuan came out holding Xiaobao in his arms, looking like a big brother.

Lao Zhou said to Sheng Kangning again: "Let's eat together!"

Sheng Kangning waved his hand: "Director Zhou, we've already eaten in the cafeteria!"

Lao Zhou asked Xiaobao again: "Xiaobao, do you want to eat more?"

Xiaobao blinked and spoke clearly: "Eat oil cakes!"

Lao Zhou teased him: "But we only have porridge and steamed buns here, no fried cakes!"

Xiaobao pointed at Sheng Kangning's cloth bag and said, "There are fried dough cakes!"

Old Zhou was in a good mood and said with a smile: "This kid has been spoiled by Old Feng!"

Sheng Kangning patted her head. How could she have forgotten that there were also fried dough cakes? She quickly took out the paper bag from the cloth bag and opened it. Inside the paper bag were three fried dough cakes, which were quite large. Sheng Kangning handed one to Lao Zhou: "This is also given by Brother Feng!"

Lao Zhou: “For me?”

Sheng Kangning nodded: "Yeah!"

Lao Zhou answered, "Okay, let's eat fried dough cakes! The fried dough cakes made by Lao Feng are crispy and delicious!"

Sheng Kangning gave one to Lu Yuan, and of the remaining pancake, Sheng Kangning tore off one third, handed it to Xiaobao, and ate it himself.

Lao Zhou asked Lu Yuan to bring back a small bowl, poured some of the porridge in the lunch box into the small bowl, and handed it to Sheng Kangning:

"Xiaobao is still growing, so eat as much as you can!"

While eating, Lao Zhou talked about Sheng Kangning's work.

Entered the field hospital to work as a doctor with Zhou Bowen.

Sheng Kangning really needs this job at the field hospital now. If she goes to work in the fields with Xu Hongmei and the others, stepping on the mud, mowing the grass, etc., she will have no time to read.

Before leaving the capital this time, Sheng Kangning went back to the Ling family's old house and brought back a bag of books. The books he brought this time were different from the previous ones. These books were all in ancient Chinese.

Sheng Kangning actually felt a little ashamed, as if she was avoiding work, but she really needed time.

Lao Zhou then said, "I heard from Nanzhou that you still want to go to the back hill of Baichuan Forest Farm to collect herbs?"

Sheng Kangning nodded: "Director Zhou, last time I went to the back mountain of Baichuan Forest Farm, there are a lot of herbs there, I can make pills from the herbs I picked and give them to our farm staff. If there are extra, we can sell them to increase the farm's income."

Selling medicine?

Old Zhou hadn't thought about it. He mainly thought that Sheng Kangning was alone and didn't know how many herbs she could collect.

There are nearly 600 employees on the farm, but they are not enough to support their own staff.

So when Sheng Kangning said she was selling medicine, Lao Zhou didn't take it seriously and just asked her:

"You can't go into the mountains alone. It's not safe. How many people do you need? How many times a week?"

When Sheng Kangning heard this, he laughed. Director Zhou had agreed.

Sheng Kangning is not stupid. Director Zhou agreed to her purely for Brother Chu's sake. But it doesn't matter. As time goes by, Director Zhou will find out that what he said about selling drugs was true.

She can really add income to the farm.

"Captain Zhou, can I ask Sister Hongmei to come with me? She's very skilled!"

Old Zhou nodded and said, "Okay, when you go into the mountains to collect herbs, bring Xu Hongmei with you."

Sheng Kangning smiled and thanked him: "Thank you, Director Zhou!"

After they had finished their meal and cleaned up briefly, Sheng Kangning showed Director Zhou his legs.

After a careful inspection, Sheng Kangning frowned and said, "Director Zhou, there is no problem with your bone connection."

Lao Zhou: "Why does it hurt? I can't stand up!"

What Mr. Zhou is most worried about is not being able to stand up.

"Director Zhou, I need to confirm it again!" Sheng Kangning already had a judgment in his mind, but for the sake of caution, it would be better to check it again.

Sheng Kangning took out the set of needles from the cloth bag.

After several confirmations, he said, "Captain Zhou, the doctor who set your bones overlooked one thing. Your tendons were not aligned properly, so it hurts and you can't stand up. It hurts when you exert force!"

If it was just one tendon, it would be easy to deal with, but now several tendons are messed up.

Old Zhou said, "No wonder. Is it easy to cure?"

Sheng Kangning frowned. The bone was not connected properly. He could just reconnect it. Sheng Kangning was confident. But the tendons and veins were messed up. What about this?

Sheng Kangning thought for a moment before choosing his words: "Director Zhou, it can definitely be cured. It's just that it's been a long time since you've had it, and your tendons and veins have grown together with your muscles. It will take time to straighten them out, and this process may..."

Sheng Kangning thought it would be very painful.

"It's okay. When the time comes, I can give you acupuncture to relieve the pain!"

Lao Zhou only asked: "Can I still stand up?"

Sheng Kangning nodded: "Yes, of course!"

Obviously, Lao Zhou was relieved after hearing Sheng Kangning's affirmation, and said with a smile:

"As long as you can stand up, I'll cooperate with you no matter how long it takes! When do we start?"

Sheng Kangning smiled and said, "We can't wait any longer, let's start today."

After Sheng Kangning gave Lao Zhou acupuncture, he took Xiaobao to the field hospital.

When the curtain was opened, Zhou Bowen was seen sitting on a chair with his legs on the table, a cigarette he rolled himself between his fingers, looking very nonchalant.

The tent was filled with smoke and there was a strong smell of cigarette smoke.

Sheng Kangning did not go in.

"Zhou Bowen, smoking is not allowed in the hospital!"

"Ha! Look for yourself, this is a tent! How can it be a hospital? Who are you to mind my head? Do you know where this is? Let's go, we should go underground, why are you wandering around!"

Zhou Bowen didn't even have the awareness to put out his cigarette, or rather, he didn't even see Sheng Kangning clearly.

After Sheng Kangning left, Director Zhou washed his face. It helped to relieve the pain at first, but acupuncture has a time limit for relieving pain. After that time, it really hurt!

Although Director Zhou held back and didn't say a word, he was in so much pain that sweat covered his forehead and face.

After washing his face and changing his clothes, Lu Yuan knew his father was going out, so he hurried over, pushed the wheelchair, and asked, "Where are you going?"

"The field hospital."

When Director Zhou and Lu Yuan arrived, they happened to hear the nonsense Zhou Bowen said and their faces turned red with anger.
