Chapter 26
Zhao Xiuzhi looked down on her mother-in-law from the bottom of her heart, an ignorant old country woman who didn't even know she was being cheated.
I thought people were so nice to her.
This made her, the daughter-in-law, an outsider.
Zhao Xiuzhi felt disgusted when she thought about this.
Although the look of contempt was well concealed, the old lady had experienced many ups and downs in her life.
You can say she is uneducated, but you can't say the old lady is ignorant.
Old Mrs. Wu never embarrassed her daughter-in-law, unless it was a special situation, such as what happened yesterday. Apart from this incident, the old lady rarely argued with Zhao Xiuzhi.
It's only asking for trouble to argue with such a fool.
"I like it." The old lady glanced at Zhao Xiuzhi without any anger, "If you don't like it, I'll make something else for you to eat in the evening. Anyway, you won't be home for lunch, so it's just right for us to eat at home."
Zhao Xiuzhi couldn't let go of the breath she was holding, but she finally said with a smile, "Okay, I'll go to work."
I am going to school today to talk to the school leaders about my job transfer.
Zhao Xiuzhi always had a gloomy face when she went out, and now she looked even uglier than ever.
Unfortunately, no one cared about her except Wu Zhanfu.
Last night she was so hungry that she couldn't sleep for half the night. She knew that if she confronted the old lady, she would just use a soft knife to sharpen her. She couldn't get angry either, because getting angry would be unreasonable. Even if Wu Zhanfu liked her, he would not stand on her side.
In the morning she would get up obediently to cook and help the old lady so that she could have a full meal.
Zhao Xiuzhi was so angry that she gritted her teeth while walking on the road without raising her head. She didn't even hear Liu Cailan's greeting. She hurried past and arrived at the school in a short while.
When the principal saw Zhao Xiuzhi come in, he said he had a headache.
"Comrade Xiuzhi, have you come up with any new ideas in your work?" The principal also poured a cup of tea for Zhao Xiuzhi.
Zhao Xiuzhi didn't drink, and her face didn't look good. Thinking about what the old lady said in the morning, she forced a smile and said, "Principal, this is it. I feel that my ability is not enough for the position of teacher. If it is convenient, please transfer me to the logistics position."
This was such a huge surprise!
The principal's smile suddenly became more sincere: "It's not inconvenient at all. If you want to, you can go to work in the logistics department today. There is a position there that is very suitable for you."
Zhao Xiuzhi was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood.
She thought the principal would try to keep her, but he actually wanted to transfer her to another position immediately.
So, I felt even more suffocated.
There wasn't much to do in the hospital. Jingxian's job wasn't busy at all, and she wasn't even tired. She checked all the medicines in the morning to make sure they were in stock and to check the dosage.
If any medicine is used too much and it is not in line with common sense, she will mark it down.
She also registered.
For example, prescription drugs have clear records of which doctor prescribed the drug, when it was prescribed, and when the patient came to pick it up.
When she had nothing to do, she would take out a book on Chinese herbal medicine and read it.
After Fusheng finished his study, he would sit next to her and look at what the herbs in the book looked like. He would ask a few questions from time to time, as if he had really memorized them.
When it was time to get off work, Jing Xian asked them to pack up.
As she walked out of the hospital with her child, she heard someone calling her from behind: "Comrade Jingxian."
Jing Xian turned around in surprise and saw a lady with a cold temperament who looked a little unapproachable coming out from behind. She was thin, not short, about 1.7 meters tall, and had a pretty face, but she looked very dignified.
She walked over quickly and introduced herself first: "Comrade Jingxian, I am Li Yu's mother, Lin Qingwen. I heard Li Yu mention you before, but I never found the time to meet you."
Lin Qingwen?
She had heard of it.
She is the chief of surgery, a very powerful female doctor, and has great prestige in her department. It is said that whenever the big guys in the army come to her, she will scold them.
These big guys are like mice seeing a cat.
No one dared to disobey.
Jing Xian didn't expect that she was actually the mother of Li Yu's child. Li Yu was two years older than Fusheng and Tiedan, and it was obvious that she had been well-educated. She also liked Tiedan and Fusheng very much, and often took them out to play.
Every time I visit their house, I see her and call her aunt affectionately.
It's hard not to like such a child.
"Director Lin, I didn't expect you to be Li Yu's mother!"
Lin Qingwen said: "You don't have to call me Director Lin when you're not working. Just call me by my name."
"Sister-in-law, what do you want to talk to me about?" Jing Xian realized from Lin Qingwen's hesitant expression that she seemed to have something to say. Perhaps she was embarrassed, so she asked first.
No matter what, we have to give Director Lin some face.
Lin Qingwen seemed to be relieved when she heard this, and said a little embarrassedly: "Our Li Yu likes to eat pig intestines, but I don't know how to cook it."
"That's it! I can make it. If you're not in a hurry, I'll go back and write a recipe for you. When you're free in the afternoon, come to the pharmacy to get it from me." Jing Xian had no one to teach her how to behave in society. She learned it all in the apocalypse.
The old man would always tell her a lot of nonsense, although she used a lot of it at that time, and it was even useless. It was because of what the old man told her that Jing Xian is what she is today.
Lin Qingwen obviously didn't expect Jing Xian to be so easy to talk to and so enthusiastic, and her cold face began to smile more often.
"Will it be too much trouble for you?" Although Lin Qingwen seems aloof, she is the kind of person who focuses on medicine in later life.
She would rather use her time to study than waste it on social interactions.
Otherwise, she would have come to find Jing Xian the day after Li Yu said he wanted to eat pig intestines, instead of waiting until Jing Xian had worked in the hospital for several days before slowly showing up.
Jing Xian smiled and shook her head: "It's not a big deal, it's just about writing a recipe. Actually, I'm worried that you might not remember it now that I'm telling you. It's a little troublesome to handle pig intestines, and there are many little tricks. I'll write it down for you so you don't have to rush around when you handle it."
"Thank you so much." Lin Qingwen thanked Jingxian from the bottom of her heart.
Jing Xian smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you are so polite."
The two of them walked to the intersection, talking and laughing. Lin Qingwen felt that they had met too late. She and Jingxian had such a pleasant chat. Jingxian knew a lot and even made many suggestions. Although the suggestions seemed small, they were very helpful for the patient's recovery after surgery.
More importantly, the prescription she gave was what impressed Lin Qingwen the most.
When they reached the intersection, they separated.
One goes directly in from the intersection, and the other walks forward and enters from the alley in front.
Liu Caiyun stood in her yard, staring in this direction. When she saw who the woman who was talking and laughing with Jing Xian just now was, a light of unwillingness flashed in her eyes. After a long time, she let go of her hand and turned back to go into the house.
When Jingxian returned home, Shang Nanchen had not come back yet, so Jingxian started cooking.
The two children helped out.
She fried some pork liver for the two children to eat, pork liver can supplement iron, good for children's health. In winter, there is little to eat, and every household has nothing to eat except potatoes and cabbage.
If she doesn't change the way she feeds her child, the child will definitely not grow tall.
Nowadays, people think that the fatter the meat, the better. Isn't it because their stomachs lack oil and water? They think that seafood has no oil, and it is not only a waste of oil but also troublesome to eat. The most important thing is that they have to eat a lot, but it still can't fill their stomachs.
Not to mention others, Jing Xian herself is the same.
She was willing to use more oil when cooking and buy meat for the whole family. They could have a meal of meat every day, although it wasn't much, but at least they could have a couple of bites.
After more than a month of supplementation, the two children showed visible changes.
Even Shang Nanchen wouldn't eat half a bowl of rice in one meal and still not be full.
The meal was ready and Shang Nanchen just arrived home.
He helped serve the meal, and seeing another table full of rich dishes, Shang Nanchen ate heartily.
Jing Xian said to Shang Nanchen: "When I bought seafood this morning,
Mr. Bi also bought a lot every day."
"Captain Wu knows what's going on." After Shang Nanchen said this, Jing Xian understood instantly.
"Have you started serving these in your cafeteria?"
"It's been a while." To be exact, after he sent the menu up, the food in the cafeteria changed.
The soldiers under his command all said it was delicious.
With the addition of these seafood, the dishes in the cafeteria have become more diverse and tasty. Most importantly, the cost of food has been reduced, and the soldiers can not only eat enough, but also eat well.
Although it's only been a month, I can't see much change.
But if there is a comparison, it is very obvious.
Not all soldiers eat in the same canteen. The soldiers under Shang Nanchen eat in a canteen, and the food in this canteen is different from that outside. Moreover, Shang Nanchen also started training soldiers according to some methods provided by Jing Xian.
It is impossible for the entire battalion to follow the training.
First select, then form a new company.
Shang Nanchen was personally in charge of training the new company. He left early every morning to train with the new company members.
Shang Nanchen thought that their physical fitness could not keep up, so he increased the amount of training several times. Even the people in other companies increased their training, and fewer soldiers cried and complained about leg pain in the middle of the night.
People from other camps often suffered from leg cramps and cried out in pain. They were all as dark and thin as Shang Nanchen used to be.
He couldn't tell Jingxian about this.
"You've gained weight on your face recently. Have you noticed?" Jing Xian suddenly said.
Shang Nanchen paused: "Really?"
"Look at yourself in the mirror." Jing Xian ate her food at different speeds. She was consciously slowing down her eating speed. "Let's not talk about you. Look at Tiedan and Fusheng. They have gained weight. Although they haven't grown taller, their faces are chubby."
Children tend to gain weight easily if they eat a little meat, and the weight is usually visible to the naked eye.
Shang Nanchen also noticed it and sincerely thanked Jing Xian: "Thank you."
"I'm not telling you this to ask you to thank me." Jing Xian decided to remind this idiot, "Think carefully about what we have been eating for more than a month."
"It's not as good as the food in our cafeteria." Shang Nanchen added seriously, "It's not as good as the food before."
