Chapter 115 Leaving
Xu Ning felt even more upset.
"I don't know any of this. She never told me."
She broke down in tears, her face full of self-blame.
"You know I'm very busy. After I had my baby, I was basically busy all the time. When the college entrance examination was announced, our military region was in an uproar. I was the only one who felt like an outsider. If our Da Mao hadn't been too young last year and I hadn't planned to let him take the exam, he might have gone to school last year. As for Song Ning's affairs, I was powerless even if I wanted to take care of her."
Jing Xian speaks very directly, but also from the heart.
Not only does she not have time to care about Song Ning, she even pays very little attention to her older children.
Only Fusheng, this child, knows how to act coquettishly. He is already ten years old, but he is still so soft.
She would inevitably pay more attention to this child.
When she was busy before, she spent very little time with Xiaowu and Xiaoliu.
That means we have a little more time now.
"When Song Ning came to see me, she had been pregnant for more than a month. Where were you? Why didn't you notice anything? Her pregnancy reaction was so severe, didn't you notice it once? Xu Ning, don't blame me for saying harsh words, Song Ning's relationship with you is much better than my relationship with me. Why didn't she come to you when she had something to do? Do you really have no idea in your heart?"
When it came to Liao Yu's incident, Xu Ning acted very neurotic.
She doesn't want to be unappreciated.
So he was very anxious and wished Liao Yu and Song Ning would separate.
To put it bluntly, selfish.
But she understands this selfishness.
This is human nature.
But Liao Yu had been keeping Song Ning hooked for such a long time, why didn't she find out that he had a relationship with someone else?
Isn't it normal for Song Ning to be angry with Xu Ning?
Xu Ning was scolded by Jing Xian and became speechless.
Jing Xian had no intention of letting her go so easily.
"It's been a long time since Song Ning left. It's been a month or two since I came back. You came to see me once before, and this is the second time. Do you really care about Song Ning, or are you worried that Song Zheng is unhappy, or are you worried that your mother-in-law will cause trouble for you when you go home?"
Every word Jing Xian said hit home.
Xu Ning was too embarrassed to see anyone.
"I'm sorry." Xu Ning covered her face, wiped her tears, and apologized to Jing Xian again, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't blame you. In fact, I know it all in my heart, I just want to find an excuse, to find someone to blame, only in this way can I... I can feel relieved."
Jing Xian didn't say anything either.
Xu Ning: "I am also under a lot of pressure. Song Zheng and I have been married for so many years, but we still don't have children. I am very anxious. Every time I go back home for two days, I will become very depressed. I don't want to go back at all and don't want to face my mother-in-law."
She didn't come to see Jingxian because she didn't want to see the two lovely children in Jingxian's family.
Every time she sees her child, she would go back and stare blankly for a long time.
When Song Zheng came over, she was also in low spirits.
Xu Ning felt like she was going crazy.
"I'm not making excuses for myself. It's true that I didn't care about Song Ning. At least not in the past six months." Xu Ning was much thinner than before, and her clothes, which used to fit her well, now looked looser.
There is plenty of space in the shoulders.
"Stretch out your hand so I can see it." Jing Xian's tone was flat without any ups and downs.
Xu Ning was stunned for a moment before realizing that Jing Xian was a doctor.
She put her hands on the table.
Jing Xian felt her pulse, her brows slightly furrowed. Xu Ning had been observing Jing Xian's reaction, and when she saw this, her heart skipped a beat, and her face turned even paler.
After a while, Jing Xian took her hand back and said, "You are fine. When was your last period?"
Xu Ning blushed a little but still answered truthfully.
"How many days each time, and when was the last time? Is menstruation regular?" Jing Xian asked one question, and Xu Ning answered one. She then asked: "When does Song Zheng have his period each time?"
Xu Ning mentioned a date.
Jing Xian finished her calculations and couldn't help but complain: "Every month, a woman's ovulation period
It's just a few days. If you want a child, take a leave in a few days and go back to work hard with Song Zheng. The most important thing is to be in a good mood and don't think about doing anything just to have a child."
Xu Ning's face was so red.
"If it doesn't work this month, come back next month and I'll calculate a date for you." Jing Xian really didn't think about the child.
In the last days, there are many people without children.
Many people with special abilities are even infertile.
Jing Xian paused when she thought of this. She was also a superpower, and she actually had a child!!!
She suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
I couldn’t help but think, fortunately.
Fortunately, she was pregnant, otherwise, even if she wanted to have a child a few years later, she might end up like Xu Ning.
After Jing Xian put herself in Xu Ning's shoes, she felt sorry for her and her tone became much softer: "You are fine. Didn't I check Song Zheng before? You didn't have a baby simply because you were together for too short a time. Also, you should know that women can't get pregnant easily all the time. There are only a few days every month when they can get pregnant easily. In the future, you can choose the right day and have more times, and the baby will come."
"Really? Really?"
Xu Ning no longer dared to hope for it.
Sometimes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
"The premise is that you don't have psychological pressure, relax, don't think about it, the baby will come inadvertently." Jing Xian looked at Xu Ning like this and knew it was useless.
An idea suddenly occurred to her, and she said to Xu Ning, "Why don't you discuss with Song Zheng and go visit Song Ning in the next few days. And then..."
Then Jing Xian didn't say anything, which made Xu Ning blush.
"If you go, I'll give you the address. Song Ning is married and now pregnant, and her boyfriend won't let her come back. He's arranged a job for her. After all, she doesn't have any family there. If you want to go, please prepare some things for her to use during the confinement period. In addition, we have clothes for the children. I've packed clothes for our fifth and sixth children when they were little, as well as diapers, in advance. There are a lot of things. I originally planned to mail them. If you go, just take them over!"
Xu Ning had never thought of this, and felt that Jing Xian's scolding of her before was not unfair at all.
"I'll call Song Zheng when I get back to discuss the time. If it's possible, we can just buy tickets and go there in the next few days." Xu Ning said hurriedly. His attitude was much better than the grim face he had when he just entered the room.
Jing Xian's expression improved a little. "If it's hard to buy tickets, I'll ask my dad to buy them for you. Then you can transfer from here to the capital, get off and rest for a while, and then leave directly by bus."
"I'll ask Song Zheng." Xu Ning didn't dare to ask Jing Xian easily.
"That's fine. Just tell me if you need anything."
"Okay, I'll go back first. I'll discuss this with Song Zheng."
After Xu Ning finished speaking, he stood up and left.
Jing Xian was also thinking about what Shang Nanchen said.
Last year she didn't let Da Mao take the exam. In the first half of this year, even when Da Mao was trying to coax his younger siblings, he was reading a book.
The college entrance examination has now been resumed.
Jingxian is not worried about her children going to the countryside in the future.
Da Mao was a good student, and so were the other children. All four of them went to college, which relieved Jingxian of a lot of worries.
If Damao could get into the capital, there wouldn't be this problem.
Jingxian felt that her brain was not working well after giving birth. But she still thought she was very smart and didn't feel stupid for three years because of pregnancy. Now she knows that her brain is frozen and can't move at all.
At noon, Damao came back to help cook.
Fusheng wanted to come in, but Xiaoliu liked to play with him, so he stayed outside to play with his younger brothers and sisters.
Jingxian was cooking and asked Damao, "Have you registered for the exam this year?"
"Well, grandma helped me sign up." Damao said, secretly glancing at Jingxian, and asked anxiously, "Mom, will you be angry with me?"
Jing Xian raised her eyebrows: "Why should I be angry with you? Blame you for being so mean to your grandma.
"
"I really want to sign up, but you will know after I sign up." Damao was afraid that Jingxian would be unhappy, so he kept it a secret.
The children have grown up and each of them has his own ideas.
Jingxian felt like her own son was growing up.
"Aren't you worried that if I don't go to the capital, you won't be able to take the college entrance examination?" Jing Xian deliberately teased Damao.
Da Mao lowered his head and said, "Didn't you leave after harvesting the wheat? Give my grandma a surprise."
“…”
Jing Xian had a wooden face.
Her eyes narrowed slowly: "So your grandma knew I would be there?"
Damao's body stiffened, and he confessed honestly: "Yes."
Jing Xian didn't say anything, but panic was visibly evident on Damao's face.
He looked at Jing Xian a few times and wanted to say something, but Jing Xian pretended not to see him. If she hadn't seen the child was about to cry, Jing Xian would have wanted to tease him again.
"Da Mao, do you know you are wrong?"
Da Mao hung his head and said sadly, "I know. Mom, I shouldn't have gone to find grandma just to achieve my goal. And I ruined the surprise you prepared for grandma."
Jing Xian sighed: "Da Mao, when you came home, you were still a little kid, but now you have grown taller than me in the blink of an eye, and are almost catching up with your father. For some things, you just need to tell me and tell me your thoughts, and I will respect your opinions. You always say nothing, do things silently, and use very tortuous ways to achieve your goals. Have you ever thought about how I will react after I know about this?"
This time, Da Mao really realized that he was wrong, and both the young and old guys' eyes were a little red.
"Mom, I'm sorry! I was wrong! I know where I went wrong!"
Jing Xian touched his head like she did when she was a child, and said earnestly: "Da Mao, I didn't let you take the college entrance examination last year because you were only thirteen years old. This year, you are fourteen years old. Although you are still very young, you are very good. I know that you can take care of yourself even if you go to college. But Mom will still worry. Can you understand me?"
Damao lowered his head, tears falling to the ground.
He said in a deep voice, "I know."
"You've grown up, you have your own little secrets. Mom doesn't want to know all your secrets, but she wants to know that when you insist on doing something and your dad and I oppose it, you can talk to us honestly about your ideas. Children's ideas are not necessarily wrong, and adults' ideas are not necessarily right, but if we don't communicate with each other, the problem will become more and more serious."
Damao wiped away his tears, raised his head and said with red eyes: "Mom, I want to take the college entrance examination, and I want to go back to accompany grandpa. Grandpa is old, and he must have suffered a lot in the countryside. Grandma was in poor health, and I don’t know how she is now. Before dad went to the battlefield, he told me to grow up quickly and be filial to grandpa and grandma on his behalf. I am living a good life now, better than before, but... grandpa and grandma are in the countryside..."
Jing Xian walked over, held the boy's head in her arms, patted him gently, and said softly: "Mom knows what you are thinking. Mom handled this matter wrongly. Mom thought you would be relieved when grandpa and grandma could come back. I didn't expect you still have so many things on your mind. We will leave the day after tomorrow. Go back to see your grandpa and grandma!"
Damao cried silently, his body and head shaking.
After the child had vented, Jing Xian said, "Okay, that's enough. Your brothers and sisters will be back for dinner soon. They will laugh at you if they see you like this. In their eyes, you are a steady big brother."
When he heard the words "Big Brother", Da Mao burst out laughing.
He stood up, still a little embarrassed to look at Jing Xian, poured some water into the basin and began to wash his face.
Jingxian's meal was ready and some vegetables were stewing in the pot.
The last dish should be fried in the wok after Shang Nanchen comes back, otherwise it will not taste good if left there.
She took two cucumbers and made a cucumber smash. She also cut the persimmon into very thin slices, put them on a plate, and sprinkled a layer of white sugar on them.
Damao took the initiative to come over and bring the cold dishes to the table.
Jing Xian turned around and said to him, "Da Mao, after dinner, take the money and give it to
Your grandma called. Tell him I'm not going."
Damao looked at Jingxian in surprise.
Jing Xian said: "We can go there secretly then."
Da Mao immediately smiled and nodded: "Then I'll go!"
Shang Nanchen came back and found that Damao was smiling all the time. He stared at Damao for a long time in surprise, and then secretly observed the other children. He found that Damao was the only one who was happy.
While washing his hands, he quietly approached Jingxian and asked her, "What's going on? This child seems a little weird? Did he take the wrong medicine?"
Jing Xian rolled her eyes at him and said, "You really think about it."
Shang Nanchen wiped the water off his hands, followed behind Jing Xian, and whispered: "Don't joke around with this kid. It's good enough if he doesn't look so bitter and resentful. Today, the sun must be rising from the west."
Damao is the most worried one among the children.
Despite his young age, he is very sensible and lovable.
He usually doesn't talk much, but does the most work, silently taking care of his three younger brothers. When he goes to work, Da Mao doesn't go to school, but stays at home to study, in order to take care of Jingxian and help her.
When he came home from get off work, old lady Wu next door kept saying how great their eldest son was.
Even Xiaowu and Xiaoliu's urine rings were washed by the brothers.
Who wouldn't feel sorry for a child like this?
"Oh, I plan to go find my dad." Jing Xian announced the reason, and Shang Nanchen couldn't laugh anymore.
He pestered Jing Xian, and Jing Xian nudged him with her elbow, telling him not to come closer: "What are you doing? What will the kids say if they see you?"
"You're about to leave, and you won't let me get close to you?" Shang Nanchen felt really uncomfortable.
He lived a very comfortable life with a wife, children and a warm bed.
Two months after Jingxian left, he felt that this family was in chaos.
I finally got the person back, but he leaves again soon.
This absence lasted four years.
Shang Nanchen really wanted to follow.
"If you don't want me to go, I won't go. This time I'll stay with my dad for two months and send Damao to the college entrance examination. If I receive an admission letter, I'll send him to finish school and then come back." Jing Xian didn't care much about going to college.
Shang Nanchen said firmly, "Go ahead, study hard and experience college life. Didn't you say that your friend has signed up again this time? When she gets admitted to the capital, you might be able to meet her. She mails milk tablets to our children every year. She knows that we have many children, but she still sends so many extra. Don't you want to meet her?"
This question is really tempting.
Because of the heavy snow, the road is difficult to travel on.
Jingxian mailed the information to Ren Ling'er, but Ren Ling'er didn't receive it until years later. She didn't get into her ideal university, so she decided to study hard again. She planned to take the exam again.
Only by studying can you change your destiny.
Ren Ling'er was eager to come back.
Jing Xian knew that Ren Ling'er was a persistent and hardworking person.
No, Jing Xian turned to look at Shang Nanchen: "Why are you so determined to let me go to the capital?"
"I knew I couldn't keep it a secret from you." Shang Nanchen smiled bitterly.
Jing Xian frowned and asked worriedly, "What happened? Is there going to be a war?"
"Whether or not there will be a war is uncertain, but the situation will definitely become tense. I will have to live in the army from now on, and I won't be able to come back every day like before. All the members of our military region have started training and are always ready to fight. I think I will feel more at ease if you go to the capital."
He is a teacher.
Once the war horn sounds, he will definitely appear on the battlefield.
Only by guarding the national border can we protect their small families.
He hugged Jingxian tightly and said, "Get everything ready tomorrow. I'll prepare a car for you and have someone drive you there directly. The weather is not cold now, so you don't have to worry about the children freezing at night. You can bring food with you and find a place to eat anytime."
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to leave by herself with six children and so much luggage.
"Let's eat first!"
At the dinner table, several children secretly looked at Jingxian's expression.
After finally finishing the meal, Jing Xian glanced at Shang Nanchen. Shang Nanchen cleared his throat and said seriously: "Let's have a family meeting today."
Several young guys immediately looked at Shang Nanchen curiously.
Xiaowu and Xiaoliu followed suit, tilted their heads to look at their brothers, and sat down obediently.
"Your mother has decided to go to the capital. I would like to ask for your opinions. Do you want to go to the capital to live with your mother?" Shang Nanchen saw Tiedan frowning.
Then I heard Tiedan say, "Dad, do you want to divorce my mom?"
Shang Nanchen felt warm in his heart, thinking that his son was worried about him: "Your mother and I will not get divorced. Your mother is just going to school for four years. She will come here during the holidays. If you follow her, you will have to study in the capital, and can only come back here to reunite with me during the winter and summer vacations."
"You don't want a divorce? Then go ahead! My mom's studies are more important."
Tiedan felt completely relaxed.
When Shang Nanchen saw Tiedan's attitude and looked at the other brats, he suddenly became irritated.
He told himself that this was his biological son!
They are all biological sons!!!
Can't fight.
"Do you guys have no objections?" Shang Nanning Chen asked without giving up.
Fusheng even asked back, "Dad, you don't have any opinions, so what opinions can we have?"
Shang Nanchen: “…”
Jing Xian was laughing secretly beside her.
"Wake up. I'll give you a day to pack your things and say goodbye to your friends. We'll set out early tomorrow morning."
Jingxian had so many things to prepare, and she began to consider how much she should bring with her.
This is her home, but it is not her home.
Once Shang Nanchen gets promoted, his family will have to move.
Jing Xian thought so and asked the guys to leave. She started to pack her things. Shang Nanchen didn't leave either and followed behind to help.
"I'll leave you some of these rice and flour, enough for this month. I'll take some of these vegetable seeds. I'll take all the other things too. I'll take these cloths with me. I'll take the sewing machine too, but I'll leave the bicycle for you."
Whenever Jing Xian thought of something, she would ask Shang Nanchen.
Shang Nanchen said beside him: "If you can take it away, take it all away, there is no need to leave it here."
"Then what do you use?" Jing Xian frowned.
"I am the only one who can feed the whole family. I have never worn the clothes you made for me. And I can't use the bicycle. Take everything you can. I will transfer your salary to you every month. I will feel relieved as long as you are doing well over there." Shang Nanchen was really reluctant to part with Jing Xian, but he also knew that Jing Xian was wronging herself by staying with him.
He didn't want to tie her down.
If possible, he would ask: "Four years later, when I go to find you, will you still be you?"
"How can this be considered studying? Aren't we moving?" Jing Xian muttered to herself as she packed up her things.
All were packed into sacks and piled in the house.
It doesn't look like much, but it's actually quite a lot to pack up.
Jing Xian said worriedly, "How can I take this away?"
"I found a truck for you. These things can be loaded into it." Shang Nanchen took out the thick quilt, "Quilt you..."
Jing Xian said hurriedly, "Forget about the quilts! I'll bring two sets. If the kids get sleepy on the way, they can sleep on them. My dad should have prepared everything and is waiting for us to come over. If we take all the quilts, what will they cover themselves with when we come back?"
Shang Nanchen thought about it and said, "So that's it?"
"Um."
Jing Xian took out another package and placed it at the end of the kang.
Shang Nanchen asked her: "What's in here?"
"Oh, clothes for Xiaowu and Xiaoliu when they were little, as well as socks and shoes. There are also some small pillows and diaper rings and so on. There are also two sets of small clothes I made for Song Ning's unborn child." Jing Xian is now an experienced person.
Prepared a lot of things for Song Ning.
"Should you send it to her by express?"
Jing Xian shook her head: "Let's wait and see. I'll ask Xu Ning later. If she goes with Song Zheng, I'll let the couple take them there. Oh, that's right! I can ask Xu Ning if she wants to go. If they do, I can take Xu Ning and her couple there together. This way they can save some travel expenses!"
Shang Nanchen said: "Okay, you ask."
Jing Xian was about to ride her bike out as she spoke. When she reached the gate, she saw Xu Ning coming from the intersection and walking towards their home.
"I was just about to look for you." Jing Xian and the others said when they reached the door, "Have you decided to go? If so, I can go with you the day after tomorrow. I'm going to Beijing, and I'll drive there. I can just give you two a ride."
Xu Ning paused and whispered, "We won't go."
