Liang Weihua and other families of about a dozen others fled to this island during the war before liberation, and now they have taken root here.
Liang Weihua's family has lived here for three generations. He and his wife have three sons, and they are all married.
The eldest son, Liang Tianfu, is 31 years old and has two sons, the older one is 8 years old and the younger one is 6 years old.
The second son, Liang Tiangui, is 28 years old and has a son and a daughter. The older son is 5 years old and the younger daughter is 3 years old.
The third son, Liang Tianxi, is 26 years old. He got married last year and his wife got pregnant this year. She is now pregnant with a big baby but has not given birth yet. The due date is in the next few days.
Jun Ning saw a dozen ragged and skinny children hiding aside, looking at the group quietly with curiosity.
Her heart softened and she waved to the oldest child, "Little friend, come here."
A dozen children looked at each other, wondering who Jun Ning was calling. Jun Ning added, "The tallest and biggest kid, come over here."
Now the children understood and they all looked at the tallest and biggest child.
He is Liang Weihua’s eldest grandson, 8-year-old Liang Guoqiang.
When Liang Weihua heard what Jun Ning said, he immediately shouted, "Guoqiang, come here quickly!"
When Liang Guoqiang heard his grandfather calling his name, he quickly trotted over.
Jun Ning looked at Liang Guoqiang with a smile.
Xiao Guoqiang is tall and thin, with not much flesh on his face. He wears a tattered cotton-padded jacket, but his big black eyes reveal some intelligence and cleverness.
He ran to Jun Ning, looked at her with bright eyes, smiled at her with a little childish shyness, and praised Jun Ning with an innocent face, "Miss, you are so beautiful, like a fairy!"
Jun Ning laughed out loud at his amusement and took out a bag of White Rabbit milk candy from the bag she was carrying and handed it to him.
"Xiao Guoqiang, this is a gift from your sister to you kids. Hurry up and share it with the kids. You can eat it together."
Xiao Guoqiang's eyes lit up when he saw such a big bag of White Rabbit milk candy.
But he did not dare to accept this gift which was very precious to him.
He raised his eyes and looked at his grandfather again.
Jun Ning directly stuffed the White Rabbit candy into Xiao Guoqiang's hand and said, "Hurry up and take it. If you don't take it, your sister will be unhappy."
Liang Weihua didn't dare to let his grandson accept the gift, but after hearing what Jun Ning said, he said to his eldest grandson: "Guoqiang, since it is a token of my sister's love for you, you should accept it. Thank my sister on behalf of the children."
Xiao Guoqiang immediately shouted loudly: "Thank you, sister!"
He also bowed deeply to Jun Ning, then turned around and ran back to the children with a smile, giving them candy.
Jun Ning heard the children's cheers and laughter, and he started laughing too.
Jun Ning is appreciative of a deserted island like Bailu Island and is willing to invest a large amount of money in its development. Zhou Zehai, Shen Qingping and the old branch secretary must be in favor of it.
This place is still extremely desolate and there is nothing to see. Jun Ning and Zhou Zehai looked at each other and prepared to go home.
Just when Jun Ning was about to tell the old branch secretary that he was ready to go back, he suddenly heard a woman's low scream coming from the mud-brick house at the edge, "Ah! It hurts!"
Then, she heard the woman shouting, "Ah Xi, Liang Tianxi, where are you? Ah Xi, Ah Xi, my stomach hurts so much..."
Jun Ning's mental power quickly swept into the house and saw a pregnant woman with a big belly who had fallen to the ground, holding her stomach and screaming in pain.
Liang Tianxi, who was following behind Liang Weihua, immediately said to Liang Weihua: "Dad, it must be that Ah Zhen is about to give birth. I'll go see her."
Liang Weihua quickly waved his hand, "Go!"
Jun Ning used his mental power to seep blood from the pregnant woman's pants, and felt something was not right.
She immediately asked Liang Weihua, "Comrade Liang, do you have a doctor on your island?"
Liang Weihua was unaware of his daughter-in-law's condition at the time and had not yet realized the seriousness of the situation.
He smiled and replied to Jun Ning: "There is no doctor on the island, but my old lady has learned how to deliver babies. She has delivered all the babies born on the island before."
At this time, Jun Ning also saw that the old Liang family had entered the room of her third son.
But when she saw that her third daughter-in-law's crotch was covered in blood, her heart skipped a beat.
When she saw her daughter-in-law's face turning pale with pain, she had a bad feeling.
"Ah Xi, I think Ah Zhen's condition doesn't seem good. Quick, tell your dad to take the boat and take Ah Zhen to the hospital on the other side. Hurry..."
When Liang Tianxi saw his wife's painful expression and the blood flowing from her lower body, he was so frightened that his face turned pale, he became flustered and ran out in a hurry.
"Dad, Dad, it's bad. Ah Zhen's condition is not good now. Mom said she needs to be sent to the health center on the other side of the river for delivery."
Jun Ning's mental power has already detected that Ah Zhen's condition is really not good. If it is delayed for too long, the mother and the baby in her belly may be in danger.
She directly said to Liang Weihua who wanted to drive the boat: "Comrade Liang, I am a doctor, I can help."
"Really? That's great."
Liang Weihua was overjoyed, and he kept bowing to Jun Ning, "Leader, please save my daughter-in-law and children!"
Jun Ning nodded, "No problem, let's go, I'll go over and take a look. Time is running out, and the mother and the child can't afford to be delayed."
Liang Weihua nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, please come in! Please come in!"
He then said to his eldest son Liang Tianfu, "Ahfu, please help me greet the leaders and the old branch secretary. I will bring the doctor over."
He also bowed to Zhou Zehai, Shen Qingping, and the old branch secretary, "Dear leaders, I'm sorry, I have to leave first!"
Jun Ning saw that although Liang Weihua was dressed like a fisherman, he spoke with the air of a scholar.
If Liang Weihua had been educated and could read and count, we could consider allowing them to continue working and living on this island.
Liang Weihua led Jun Ning to the door of his third son's room, and stood outside and shouted inside: "Guifang, the female doctor is here, I'll let her in!"
The daughter of the old Liang family is Niu Guifang, who is also a generous, cheerful, well-educated and sensible woman.
When she heard Liang Weihua's words, she opened the door without asking any more questions and said, "Please ask the doctor to come in!"
When she saw Jun Ning, she immediately smiled and said, "So the leader is also a doctor. I'm really sorry to bother you today! Please come in!"
Jun Ning also smiled and replied, "I am studying at a traditional Chinese medicine university and have learned skills from my master for many years, so there shouldn't be any problem."
