Chapter 51 Chapter 51 "Doctor Gao, this belongs to your relative...
Jiang Qiuyue called Gao Juanjuan and made an appointment to go there with the children this weekend. When she arrived home, she saw a strange man standing awkwardly at the door with something in his hands.
Jiang Qiuyue was surprised to learn that he was Zhou Biao's father. "Don't take your things. I'm afraid that if I take your things, your wife and I will get entangled. Children's affairs are children's affairs. You take care of your own children, and I will take care of mine. As for matters between adults, I will not admit my mistakes. I hit you, and I will accompany your wife to the end no matter what she wants."
"Comrade, you may have misunderstood. I am not here to ask for advice, I am here to apologize."
Zhou Xingzu's face was full of apology. "I have already taught Zhou Biao a lesson. He couldn't get out of bed for a few days. You are right. You should educate your own children. I didn't teach my children well, so I should apologize. We will not pursue other matters, you can rest assured. You take these things, I'm leaving first."
After putting the things at the door, Zhou Xingzu trotted away. He was over thirty years old, but he had to apologize for his son. He was really embarrassed today.
Jiang Qiuyue looked at the things on the ground, thought for a while, and then took them back.
It happened that the day after tomorrow was the weekend, and Jiang Qiuyue took her two children to find Gao Juanjuan. When getting in the car, she happened to meet Bai Xiuxiu and a man. She guessed that he was Bai Xiuxiu's blind date, so she just nodded and didn't go up to talk to him, so as not to make the girl shy.
After arriving in Haicheng, Jiang Qiuyue took another bus to the military region where Gao Juanjuan was located. She went to the hospital and reported Gao Juanjuan's name. A nurse then took Jiang Qiuyue and the other two to the office.
Gao Juanjuan was wearing a white coat today. When Lin Beibei saw her, she was no longer so enthusiastic. She held her mother's hand tightly and shouted, "Hello, Auntie."
"Hello, Beibei." Gao Juanjuan touched the two children and introduced another doctor to Jiang Qiuyue, "Qiuyue, this is my colleague Ji Haining, he has done some research in psychology."
The reason she came to see Gao Juanjuan today was to show Lin Nannan that there are too few people studying psychology now, so she could only ask Gao Juanjuan for help.
Lin Nannan refused to stay in the clinic alone with Ji Haining, so Jiang Qiuyue had to watch from the side. However, this kind of treatment required quietness, so Gao Juanjuan took Lin Beibei to the supply and marketing cooperative near the hospital.
"Give me half a pound of fruit candy. What is that? Is it dried plums? Give me half a pound of that too." Gao Juanjuan gave the money and immediately took two pieces of fruit candy for Lin Beibei. "Beibei, be good. Eat the candy first. Auntie will take you home."
She thought it was about time, and it was just the right time to go back. Knowing that Jiang Qiuyue and her family of three were coming, she had prepared in advance. Because they had to transfer in Haicheng, if she didn't have a car, she couldn't go back and forth on the same day, so Jiang Qiuyue and her family had to stay at home.
When Gao Juanjuan and Lin Beibei were about to leave, the salesperson suddenly asked, "Doctor Gao, is this child a relative of yours?"
"He's not a relative, he's my friend's child. What's wrong with that?" Gao Juanjuan asked.
The salesperson smiled and said, "I think this kid is cute and looks a bit like you, so I just mentioned it casually."
After hearing what the salesperson said, Gao Juanjuan looked at Lin Beibei carefully. The child had big eyes like his mother, but his nose and mouth did look a bit like her.
At this time, Lin Beibei looked up at the salesperson and said, "Auntie, they all said that I look like my mother."
"Indeed, you and Nannan look a lot like your mother." At this point, Gao Juanjuan was a little curious about what Jiang Qiuyue's lover looked like. However, since she could give birth to two such lovely children, Jiang Qiuyue's lover must be pretty good.
To Gao Juanjuan's surprise, when she returned to the hospital, another colleague asked her if Lin Beibei was her relative's child. Gao Juanjuan herself didn't think Lin Beibei looked that much like her, and she thought that everyone asked this question because they saw her taking care of Lin Beibei.
When they returned to the office, Ji Haining had already finished looking at Lin Nannan. He asked Gao Juanjuan to take Lin Nannan to the door to wait.
"Doctor Ji, is my daughter's problem serious?" Jiang Qiuyue asked concernedly.
"It's hard to say. I have studied some psychology, but I'm not an expert in this field. Judging from your daughter's situation, I feel that she still has psychological shadows from the past and can't let it go completely. I heard from you that your lives have changed a lot, right?" Ji Haining looked at Jiang Qiuyue.
Jiang Qiuyue nodded. "When I was in the countryside in the early years, I hadn't figured it out yet, so I listened to my parents-in-law in everything. But my wife is not their biological child, and they treated our family very badly. My daughter was affected at that time and started to keep silent. Later, we separated, and I have been paying attention to her situation. The little girl has become a little more cheerful, but no matter what you say to her, she still refuses to talk to you."
Ji Haining sighed, "This kind of thing cannot be rushed. You as parents should guide her slowly and let her completely let go of the shadow. Maybe one day she will be willing to speak. I checked her vocal cords and there is no problem, so it is more of a psychological problem."
Jiang Qiuyue understood, "Thank you, Doctor Ji."
"You're welcome. A doctor is like a caring parent. It's rare for me to come across such a case. Next time I visit you, I will go and see how Nan Nan is doing. If there is any improvement in Nan Nan, please let me know. It may help me make other breakthroughs." Ji Haining said with a smile.
After Jiang Qiuyue and Ji Haining finished chatting, they saw two children eating candy in the corridor and walked over with a smile.
"Mom, is my sister sick?" Lin Beibei finished a piece of candy and stopped eating because his mother told him not to eat too much candy.
Lin Nannan also looked over. Some people called her a little dumb, but she knew she was not dumb. She just didn't know how to speak again.
Jiang Qiuyue shook her head gently, "No, you are all fine."
After Gao Juanjuan finished talking to Ji Haining, she came out and took Jiang Qiuyue and the others home. In order to take care of her parents more conveniently, she moved in with her parents.
The Gao family also lived in a two-story house with an independent yard. Gao Juanjuan walked in front and said, "We're here. This is my home."
"Wow, what a big yard! It's even bigger than Grandpa Yu's house." After Lin Beibei exclaimed, she saw three people coming out of the house and immediately held her mother's hand nervously.
Gao Juanjuan introduced them, "This is my mother, and here are my son Weiguo and daughter Weilan. Mom, this is the Qiuyue I told you about."
When Sun Fengying saw Jiang Qiuyue for the first time, she thought the girl was very beautiful. She had never seen such a pretty girl. When her daughter introduced her, Jiang Qiuyue greeted her openly without any shyness. The first impression was very good.
"Come on, come in. I knew you were coming, so I cooked chicken soup in advance and prepared some biscuits." Sun Fengying smiled and led them into the house.
Jiang Qiuyue also brought gifts. The last time she was at her house, Gao Juanjuan said she liked the sauerkraut she made, so she specially brought some, as well as some meat floss that she spent half a day making, and two dried salted fish.
"Mom, I told you that Qiuyue's cooking skills are really great. Look at the dried salted fish she made, it's even more beautiful than the ones bought outside. You can't find such good quality in the supply and marketing cooperative." Gao Juanjuan praised Jiang Qiuyue with her family.
"Sister Juanjuan, if you keep praising me like this, I'll be embarrassed." Jiang Qiuyue opened the bag of meat floss, "You guys should try the meat floss I made. I don't think it's sold outside."
Chen Weiguo was the first to eat the meat floss. He had never eaten it before and his eyes lit up instantly. "Aunt Jiang, it's delicious!"
His sister Chen Weilan was more polite and ate with small sips, "It's really delicious. No wonder my mother always praised my aunt's cooking skills. It really lives up to her reputation."
Sun Fengying also ate the meat floss, which was fragrant and not dry, and a taste she had never tasted before. "Qiuyue, you have worked hard. You specially made it and brought it to me." Just by watching, she knew that making meat floss was not easy.
"I just like to make something to eat." Jiang Qiuyue came to someone's house and had to bother others, so she had to bring something, otherwise she would feel embarrassed.
She followed Gao Juanjuan to the room to put things away and tidy up at the same time.
Chen Weiguo was showing Lin Beibei his bullet casing. He was five years older than Lin Beibei. Originally he was the youngest in the family, but now he had become the big brother. Every time Lin Beibei said "Brother is so awesome", Chen Weiguo could not help but smile.
Lin Nannan was taken by Chen Weilan to look at hair ties and hairpins. Chen Weilan had five different hair ties, and she let Lin Nannan try each one.
Normally, she thought her younger brother was noisy and always envied other people for having younger sisters. But now, seeing Lin Nannan, who was like a doll and was cooperating with her obediently, Chen Weilan's heart melted and she even asked her grandmother, "Grandma, can we let Nannan stay?"
"How is it possible, girl?" Sun Fengying also liked the two children very much, and she always felt very close to Lin Beibei and Lin Nannan. "If you really want a sister, let your mother give birth to one for you."
"My mother doesn't want to, and if it's Weiguo who talks too much, it will be so annoying." Chen Weilan disliked her brother very much, especially when she saw her brother playing with Lin Beibei on the ground, she disliked him even more, "Nannan, let's go, we don't want to play with dirty children."
Lin Nannan glanced at her brother lying on the ground. She wanted to say that her brother was not dirty, but she still followed Sister Wei Lan.
In the evening, Jiang Qiuyue made a bowl of pickled fish with the pickled cabbage she brought, and the rest of the dishes were made by Sun Fengying.
Gao Juanjuan's husband Chen Zhong also came back for dinner, but her father didn't come back because he had gone to the army.
Chen Weiguo had already eaten two bowls of rice with the pickled fish soup and was about to get a third bowl. "Aunt Jiang, please don't leave. Stay at our house. The rice you cook is so delicious, much better than grandma's. Grandma, I'm not saying your cooking is bad, it's just that in comparison, Aunt Jiang's cooking skills are really much better."
"I don't know you yet." Sun Fengying said with a smile, "Don't eat too much, or you won't be able to sleep at night."
"No, grandma, I can eat it. My mom didn't lie!" Chen Weiguo started to eat his third bowl of rice.
Even Chen Weilan, who was usually well-mannered, ate half an extra bowl of rice today. Lin Beibei and Lin Nannan were too embarrassed to eat too much, so after they were full, they just sat there obediently.
Sun Fengying prepared gifts for the two children, which were pajamas made of pure cotton cloth. She usually had nothing to do at home, so she was the one who did all the sewing and mending for everyone in the family.
Lin Beibei immediately said thank you, he said sweetly, "Thank you grandma, you are so nice, my mom said you are the most amiable grandma in the world."
Jiang Qiuyue rubbed his hair softly, "You are such a sweet talker, boy."
Sun Fengying laughed out loud at the compliment, "Not to mention Wei Lan wanting to keep Nan Nan, I want to keep them too. These two little guys are so lovable."
She couldn't help but think of her own son. If her son was already married, would his children be this old too?
She quickly hid the loneliness in her eyes, explained some things about the room to Jiang Qiuyue, and turned back to her room.
Because they were living in someone else's house, Jiang Qiuyue was a little picky about her bed, but the two children still slept well.
Jiang Qiuyue closed her eyes and couldn't help thinking of Lin Zhengrong. She had to admit that when he was around, she felt that he was clinging to her. Now that he was away, she started to miss him. After all, how could she not miss him when she could feel his warm body pressed against her in the night and his muscles were so nice to touch?
Gao Juanjuan in another room also did not sleep. She laughed and talked about what the salesmen said during the day, "They thought Beibei and Nannan were my family's relatives. After hearing what they said, I took a closer look and found that they did look a bit like them."
Chen Zhong yawned as he went to bed. "I felt the same way when I first entered the house. I thought it was some unknown relative of mine."
