Xu Hongmei helped Sheng Kangning take off his raincoat.
He even touched the clothes inside and said with a smile: "Fortunately, the clothes inside are not wet."
Sheng Kangning was embarrassed and whispered:
“Actually, I can do it myself!”
She sprained her ankle, but her hand was not hurt.
Xu Hongmei glared at her: "Are you as smart as me?"
Sheng Kangning shook his head, indeed not.
Xu Hongmei pointed at the water socks on Sheng Kangning's legs and said, "Cooperate with me and take them off!"
Sheng Kangning lowered his head.
This pair of water socks is long. When worn on Sheng Kangning's legs, it reaches the thighs. Xu Hongmei also tied the opening of the water socks tightly with a cloth strip to prevent mosquitoes from getting in.
To dehydrate socks, you have to untie the strips of cloth first before you can take them off.
Chu Nanzhou handed the cup in his hand to Sheng Kangning, pointed at the herbs he had picked on the way back and asked, "How do you deal with these herbs? Tell me and I'll do it!"
Sheng Kangning shook his head:
"No need, Brother Chu, you've been carrying me all the way, you should go back and rest for a while! Sister Hongmei is here to help me!"
Xu Hongmei reached out to untie the cloth strip, but Sheng Kangning held down the back of her hand.
Chu Nanzhou took a look and knew that the girl was shy, so he coughed lightly:
"Then I'll go back and process the mugwort and sophora flavescens you picked, and then send them over."
After Chu Nanzhou left, Sheng Kangning breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Hongmei smiled: "Why? Are you shy?"
Sheng Kangning smiled: "I am indeed a little embarrassed!"
"Boss, you are so..."
"Sister Hongmei!" Sheng Kangning interrupted Xu Hongmei and lowered his voice: "Zhou Xiaoran likes Brother Chu!"
Xu Hongmei raised her eyebrows:
"If the boss doesn't like it, what's the point of her liking it! Sheng Kangning, don't say you can't see what the boss is thinking!"
Sheng Kangning lowered his eyes and took a sip of brown sugar water. It was hot and sweet.
"Sister Hongmei, it's not that I can't see it, it's just that... I'm still young and I don't want to date for the time being!"
"You are already seventeen, you are still young. You will be eighteen next year. We women can get married and get a marriage certificate when we are eighteen!"
"Then let's talk about it after you turn 18! Not now anyway!"
Xu Hongmei freed her hand and tapped Sheng Kangning's forehead:
"I'm telling you, don't even think about pushing the boss away! Especially someone like Zhou Xiaoran, the boss will never like him!"
"Sister Hongmei, if, I mean if, one day in the future, I fall in love with Brother Chu, I will never let you go!"
Xu Hongmei smiled:
"That's more like it, remember what you said today!"
After taking off my water socks, I found that my left foot was sprained and the ankle was swollen.
Sheng Kangning finished the brown sugar water in the cup, put the cup down, reached out and carefully touched his ankle, and touched a spot.
Biting his lips, he suddenly exerted force, and heard a snap. Sheng Kangning raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his face and let out a light breath:
"Alright, it's reset!"
Xu Hongmei looked at Sheng Kangning in surprise: "Alright, I didn't realize you can also straighten bones?"
Sheng Kangning smiled and said, "I know a lot more!"
Xu Hongmei pinched Sheng Kangning's face and said, "Our company commander is so lucky!"
Sheng Kangning really wanted to say that it was too early to say this now, as she and Brother Chu had not even started dating yet.
"How do I get these herbs? Tell me and I'll do it," Xu Hongmei asked, pointing at them.
Sheng Kangning explained everything one by one, and Xu Hongmei came out of the tent with some herbs.
Zhou Xiaoran came back and looked straight at Sheng Kangning:
"Do you still have that medicine bag? I want to buy one!"
Sheng Kangning looked at Zhou Xiaoran and nodded:
"Yes! You don't need the money or food coupons. You have brown sugar. Half a pound of brown sugar and a medicine bag."
Zhou Xiaoran glared:
"you!"
Sheng Kangning smiled and said:
"If you think it's too expensive, you don't have to buy it."
Zhou Xiaoran returned to his bunk, took out a paper bag containing brown sugar from his luggage, took out half of it and gave it to Sheng Kangning.
Sheng Kangning took out the medicine bag with a smile and handed it over.
Zhou Xiaoran put it on immediately and returned to his bunk in silence.
After a while, Zhou Xiaoran asked quietly:
"Is Brother Chu pursuing you?"
Sheng Kangning curled his lips: "Brother Chu didn't say it clearly! I don't know either!"
"What if Brother Chu said it clearly?"
"Then it depends on whether I have a good impression of Brother Chu at that time! If I do, I will agree!"
"You! You know very well..."
Sheng Kangning turned his head and looked at Zhou Xiaoran who lived inside:
"Zhou Xiaoran, I've said before that if you want to pursue Brother Chu, just go for it, because I don't like him yet! If Brother Chu accepts you, I wish you all the best, but if he doesn't, there's no need for you to hate every female comrade who appears around him!"
"You don't need to teach me, just take care of yourself!"
Sheng Kangning smiled and said nothing more.
Soon Xu Hongmei brought in the packed herbs and asked Sheng Kangning what to do.
Sheng Kangning grabbed one-third of the herbs and put them into the pestle, pounding it continuously.
After pounding the herbs into a paste, apply it directly to the injured ankle.
Sheng Kangning let out a "hiss!"
It still hurts.
Xu Hongmei: "It's okay!"
Sheng Kangning shook his head: "It's okay!"
After applying the medicine and wrapping it with gauze, Sheng Kangning pointed to the more than half of the medicine paste left in the pestle and said to Xu Hongmei:
"Sister Hongmei, I have to trouble you. Give the remaining herbs to Brother Chu and tell him to apply the paste on his injured arm! We picked a lot of herbs today, so apply it once in the morning and once in the evening."
