This place...
There weren't many familiar faces in the family compound. Just as we were talking about the Chen family, we saw a doctor from the health center coming out of the compound.
I'd only met him once before; I nodded and greeted him.
"Dr. Li, are you here to change Aunt Chen's dressing?"
The doctor was a young man in his twenties; you could tell from his voice that he had a very cheerful personality.
"Sister-in-law, yes, the dressing was just changed. My aunt is old and her healing ability is not great. I just hope she doesn't get infected. The old lady is still anxious and keeps thinking about working and wants to get out of bed."
A simple smile.
"I heard that Aunt Chen might have stopped working. She's suddenly become idle and can't stand the chores around the house. You should try to persuade her to stop."
Dr. Li turned to close the gate, but was startled by the shadow at his feet.
"Wow! Xiao An, when did you come out? It's freezing cold, hurry up and go inside. You're not even wearing a cotton-padded coat, you'll catch a cold."
Xiao An?
"Hey, don't bite me!"
Looking into the child's bright, expectant eyes, she sighed simply. Though she didn't speak, she felt a thousand words welling up inside, making it impossible for her to refuse.
"Dr. Li, why don't you give him to me?"
"sister in law?"
Simply extend your hand,
"Give it to me, and please tell Aunt Chen that the regimental commander will be here soon, and I'll return it to her after lunch this afternoon."
Seeing the child reach out his arms and lunge forward, Xiao Li was speechless. He stood up.
"Sister-in-law, then I'll trouble you. I'll go in and tell Auntie to put her mind at ease."
Jian Xin reached out and touched the child's hand.
"Hey, you little rascal, you're out here without a cotton-padded coat, your hands are freezing cold."
She quickly weighed the child in her coat, then tucked the child inside, wrapping him tightly.
"Yeah, are you being disobedient again?"
"Tsk tsk!"
Sheng Zhiyuan watched from behind.
"You really are something else, you're as good with kids as ever."
He had already heard Jian Wenxiu say that Jian Jian had set aside land from his garden for his daughter and the village children to "farm their own land," and the harvest was theirs to manage. At the time, he found it quite amusing.
Jian Xin also remembered this.
"Sister, I missed the autumn harvest that year. I was busy for more than half a year, and just when the harvest was about to begin, my uncle came."
"You seem quite disappointed?"
"Hmph, isn't that a pity?"
Sheng Zhiyuan didn't hold back in criticizing his own daughter.
"My brother said he started talking about it as soon as I left home, and he kept talking about it until the fall of the following year. He gets angry every time he talks about it. We've only known each other for less than a month, and my brother brings it up almost every day. Humph!"
