In order to ease the embarrassment, Sheng Kangning asked: "Brother Feng, where is Xiaobao? Is he asleep already?"
Without waiting for Old Feng to speak, Xu Hongmei said:
"I know where it is! Usually when Xiaobao falls asleep, he's over there. Come with me."
Sheng Kangning followed behind Xu Hongmei. There was a big table over there, which was piled with things. Behind the table, Old Feng put a small bed.
At this time, Xiaobao was lying on the small bed and sleeping.
Sleeping soundly.
Children love to kick off the quilt. The thin quilt covering Xiaobao has been kicked aside by him, leaving only a little bit of it covering his belly.
Sheng Kangning covered him with a blanket and whispered to Xu Hongmei with a smile, "You've become a lot stronger, but you've gotten tanned!"
"Old Feng gives him special treatment all day long, how can he not be strong?"
"Kangning, come here and eat noodles!"
Old Feng made Sheng Kangning a bowl of scallion noodles with a poached egg on top.
Old Feng asked Xu Hongmei: "Would you like a fried pancake?"
Xu Hongmei waved her hand: "I'm not hungry! Just drink some water."
After saying that, Xu Hongmei took the bowl and poured half a bowl of water into it.
Old Feng moved a stool and sat opposite Sheng Kangning: "Kangning, I have something to ask you!"
"Brother Feng, don't say that. Just tell me what you want to say."
"Some time ago, there was a flood in my hometown, and my old father was the only one left at home. I thought about taking him home. He is fine except for his legs. He went to the hospital for a checkup and was told that his legs were atrophied and could not be cured. He has also been having leg pain recently, so I thought, I would ask you to take a look at his legs when the time comes."
"Brother Feng, when will the old man come over?"
"We will arrive in two days. We could have arrived earlier. We passed by the provincial capital, so we thought about going to the provincial people's hospital to see a doctor, just in case there is a cure. Yesterday they called and said it was not working. The hospital didn't have any good solution. Plus, he is old, and if he had surgery, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to hold on! Plus, the old man is stubborn and he doesn't want to have surgery no matter what!"
Sheng Kangning nodded: "Okay, when the old man comes, I'll show him."
After a day's work, the group returned to the tent, washed up briefly and went to rest.
Wang Juan did not sleep. After washing up, she sat on her bed, lit the kerosene lamp, took out needle and thread and some scraps of cloth, intending to piece the scraps together.
The people lying on the bed were also awake and talking in low voices.
The most talked about thing is that Sheng Kangning can cure the scar on Wang Juan's face.
Sheng Kangning and Xu Hongmei came back, holding the sleeping Xiaobao.
After placing Xiaobao between Sheng Kangning and Xu Hongmei and covering him with a quilt, Sheng Kangning opened his luggage, took out the prepared beauty cream and handed a small bottle to Wang Juan.
"Wang Juan, this is a beauty cream. I made it into a paste for easy storage. When you use it, break off a small piece each time and add a small amount of water to dissolve the paste. Apply it on your face once in the morning and once in the evening. After applying it, wait for it to dry. Don't wash it off. Wrap it with a gauze towel. Try to take good care of it during this period, especially during the day. Avoid exposure to the sun if you can avoid it."
Wu Xiaohui, who was lying on her bed, still refused to give up and asked directly: "Kang Ning, can you give me some?"
Kang Ning glanced at Wu Xiaohui and said, "I didn't do much, and I promised others. Those little scratches on your face are not a big deal, they will heal in a few days! You don't need this."
Wu Xiaohui sneered: "It will be fine in a few days. We go to the fields every day and get scratched every day. What can we do? You just can't bear to part with it. How about this, I will buy it with my own money, okay?"
Wu Xiaohui's tone is annoying.
Not to mention the person involved, Sheng Kangning, even Wang Juan and the others felt uncomfortable listening to it.
Xu Hongmei laughed: "Wu Xiaohui, how can you say such a thing? How can the medicine brewed by Kang Ning be given to you for free? If you don't give it to you, how dare you speak in such a sarcastic tone! You didn't contribute anything, but you want to use other people's medicine. How dare you say that! I'm so embarrassed for you!"
Wu Xiaohui's face turned pale after being choked by Xu Hongmei. She bit her lip and said, "Xu Hongmei, stop barking like a dog!"
That's so harsh!
Sheng Kangning frowned:
"Wu Xiaohui, I brewed this medicine myself. I can give it to anyone I want. I bought some of the herbs in this beauty cream with my own money, and I picked some of them from the mountains. I brewed this medicine with my own hard work, and I have my own control over it, so you don't need to worry about it. Also,
Please be careful with your words. We live in a tent.
We are a collective. Your words are too hurtful! Apologize to Sister Hongmei!"
"She jumped out to ask for a scolding! I blamed her for speaking harshly. Her own words were not much better! Why did you only blame me? I heard what you said just now. Didn't you say that your medicine was not easy to get? I said I would pay for it. Isn't that enough? You name a price and I'll buy it!"
Sheng Kangning was also annoyed and replied: "I won't sell it to anyone else but you!"
"Who cares!"
Wu Xiaohui replied, then pulled the quilt up to cover her head and face, suffocated herself in the quilt, and cried.
At once……
It's quite speechless.
Sheng Kangning raised his hand and pinched his brows, feeling a little annoyed. He took out a bag of wedding candies from his luggage and gave five candies to each person one by one!
Sheng Kangning also gave Wu Xiaohui five candies.
After giving it to everyone, Sheng Kangning smiled and said, "I'm engaged! The wedding date is also set, the eighth day after the New Year."
Zhou Xiaoran was stunned at first, and when he reacted, he felt cold all over. He sat up almost immediately, looked at Sheng Kangning and asked:
"Who are you engaged to?"
Sheng Kangning knew Zhou Xiaoran would ask: "With Brother Chu!"
"Which Brother Chu?" Zhou Xiaoran refused to give up.
Sheng Kangning looked into Zhou Xiaoran's eyes: "Chu Nanzhou!"
Zhou Xiaoran clutched the quilt tightly with both hands, his cheeks twitching. Every word Sheng Kangning said was like a thorn piercing Zhou Xiaoran's heart.
Engaged!
Chu Nanzhou is engaged, but the person is not her.
She, Zhou Xiaoran, could have stayed in Beijing and had a good, respectable job.
She is beautiful, has a good family background, and has a good job, so there are many men pursuing her. She went to the countryside for Chu Nanzhou, but Chu Nanzhou was engaged to another woman.
Zhou Xiaoran's eyes turned red, and soon a tear slowly slid down his cheek.
Zhou Xiaoran also lay back down with his back to everyone.
Wang Juan, Xu Hongmei, Ma Chunmei and Zhang Xiuying all surrounded Sheng Kangning, chatting and laughing in low voices, and wishing Sheng Kangning the best.
Sheng Kangning reminded them: "Thank you, we have to get up early tomorrow, go to bed early!"
Ma Chunmei and the others lay down obediently.
Wang Juan broke off a small piece of ointment, dissolved it in warm water, and applied it evenly on her face. After it dried, she found a gauze scarf to wrap her head and face, then blew out the kerosene lamp and lay down to sleep.
