Chapter 41

Jing Xian was surprised. She didn't expect Shang Nanchen to carry her on his back.

"No need, it would be a joke for others to see." Jing Xian walked around Shang Nanchen, but she didn't expect Shang Nanchen to pick her up by the waist.

"Can you walk back by yourself? Don't you have any idea in your mind?" Shang Nanchen felt very guilty. He didn't know that treating people was so hard. If he knew, he would never let Jing Xian come over.

Jing Xian looked at his worried expression and suddenly felt that it was worth it whether she agreed to take in the two children or help him treat his boss' illness.

For the sake of this family, she is willing to work harder.

He saw her efforts and was willing to care for her, so she felt it was worth it.

"If you're not afraid, then carry me on your back." Holding someone is much more tiring than carrying them on your back.

Shang Nanchen put her down, walked in front of her and squatted down. Jing Xian climbed up, and Shang Nanchen carried her on his back and walked home.

"Jingxian, I made the decision on my own to keep the two children. In the end, you are the one who suffers. This kind of thing will only happen this time. I am not a person without sense of propriety, nor am I a person with bad intentions." Shang Nanchen suddenly spoke in a deep voice about adopting two children.

Jing Xian was slightly startled, knowing that he had not yet gotten over the matter.

“Actually, when you brought the two children back, I knew this would be the result. There must be a lot of children to be adopted this time, right?” In addition to martyrs with high positions, there are also martyrs with low positions.

Many people have children.

Shang Nanchen asked in surprise: "How do you know?"

"I'm not stupid. Besides, not everyone can adopt the two children of the Xie family, right?" The organization must have had some considerations.

From the words and deeds of Xie Lingjun and Xie Lingxiu, the eldest child seems to be worried and more stable than ordinary children. The second child looks like he has never been wronged. It is obvious that these two children of the Xie family come from better families.

Moreover, there are only a handful of families in the military area that are eligible to adopt these two children.

Although Captain Wu next door had a son and a daughter, they were excluded by the higher-ups after Zhao Xiuzhi's incident. Captain Zhang had even more children, four in total.

Shang Nanchen had attended military school, made contributions, and had relatively high qualities.

Jing Xian is not bragging. She is not as good as the best, but better than the worst. Judging from her attitude towards Shang Nanchen and his two children, the people above her are more confident in her adopting the two children.

"Did you guess all this?" Shang Nanchen was once again shocked by Jing Xian's intelligence.

Jing Xian smiled: "These are all public matters. It's not impossible for Da Mao and Xiao Mao to go to the countryside, but it's more appropriate not to keep them under our noses. Did their biological mother really remarry?"

She could feel Shang Nanchen's body stiffen slightly.

Jing Xian knew she had guessed the point: "You don't have to tell me, I just know it in my heart. These two children will live in our house for more than ten years. I raised them little by little. I won't do it if their future is affected by their biological mother."

Shang Nanchen said: "She doesn't know where the child was sent."

"Should the child change his surname?" Jing Xian asked suddenly.

“It has changed.”

Jing Xian laughed angrily.

"Just because I can't guess, will you never tell me?" She wasn't really angry, she was just feeling a little suffocated.

Shang Nanchen said in a muffled voice: "This is what you guessed, not what I said."

"Understand."

These are all confidential, you can't ask casually.

The winter nights are very cold.

A gust of north wind blew over, and Jing Xian buried her head in Shang Nanchen's neck: "Don't dawdle, go home quickly, don't you feel cold?"

“…”

Shang Nan finally experienced the feeling of holding his breath.

When we got home, the children had already washed the dishes and were warming up water in the pot.

The four little ones had all taken a bath and were all lying under the quilts, falling asleep.

Jing Xian secretly went over to take a look at the kids and then quietly closed the door.

Shang Nanchen poured water and asked Jing Xian in a low voice: "Do you need my help?"

Jingxian reacted and said

What do you mean? She rolled her eyes at him and said, "No need."

"I'm just worried that you can't do it, that's all." Shang Nanchen felt that she had misunderstood him.

"The medicine has not been made yet, so you should stay away from me."

Sometimes Jing Xian's straightforwardness makes Shang Nanchen unbearable.

He walked into the house with his cheeks bitten, saw the boiled water in the teacup, and drank it directly.

It's so chilling.

Jing Xian took a shower, changed her clothes and went into the house. She saw Shang Nanchen sitting on the edge of the kang, staring at her gloomily. He was like a wolf, as if he wanted to eat her.

"Go wash up."

Jing Xian got on the kang and crawled into the quilt.

In fact, she calculated the date and found that it was still within the safe period. But Jingxian didn't want to take any risks. What if?

Now it’s different from before, there are four children in the family.

If she really gets pregnant, who will take care of the children?

Jing Xian felt weak and exhausted due to overusing her supernatural powers. She was also a little tired mentally.

If only I could recover quickly.

Jing Xian was thinking in a daze, and seemed to be half asleep.

Suddenly, she heard someone come in, get on the kang, and turn off the light. Soon, there was another person under the quilt. Jing Xian felt very cold, so she leaned back and felt much warmer.

She thought Shang Nanchen would not be able to control himself, but unexpectedly nothing happened that night.

the next day.

Jingxian has recovered a lot.

She ate the prepared meal, this time eating much more than usual.

Eat and drink well to restore your strength.

After dinner, Jingxian gave her children some instructions as usual and then went to work.

"Do you want to take a leave?" Shang Nanchen was worried that she had not recovered well. Her complexion did not look very good and her eyes were full of worry.

Jing Xian shook her head: "I'm fine."

"Why don't you go tonight? I'll tell the teacher that you're not feeling well, and I'll treat him in a few days." Above all else, my wife is the most important. Shang Nanchen insisted, "Don't go to work today. I'll ask for leave for you."

"You won't get paid for taking a leave." Jing Xian saw Shang Nanchen's face fall, and secretly took his hand and shook it, "I'm really fine. Besides, the disease can't be delayed. Once you start, you have to stick to it. Otherwise, all your efforts will be wasted."

Shang Nanchen frowned: "But your body is more important."

"I know what's going on." Jing Xian coaxed him, "You don't want my hard work yesterday to go to waste, do you?"

"Don't be so stubborn. If you can't hold on, then don't insist. Didn't you say you have ointment on your hands? Just make the ointment and I will help you sell it." In order to persuade Jing Xian, Shang Nanchen didn't care about his own future.

Jing Xian felt a little sour in her nose.

"I don't sell my plasters. I make them to help people in need. Besides, we don't charge you for them." Jing Xian would not joke about Shang Nanchen's future.

He is the pillar of their family.

It seems that we need to make the contraceptive pill as soon as possible.

There are a limited number of medicines.

The medicines Jingxian used were all very common and inexpensive. They were harmless to the body and the effects were very good. Although there was still a chance of a possible accident, they had no other choice now.

What if I really win the bid.

It's just fate.

Jing Xian went back home at noon and started making medicine pills. Shang Nanchen asked someone to buy the medicine stove for her. It was not easy to buy, but it was very useful. Jing Xian found it very convenient to use.

Damao smelled the medicine, came over, and whispered to Jingxian, "Mom, is anyone in our family sick?"

Jing Xian was stunned, and felt a little embarrassed when she thought about the effects of the pills she made.

"No one is sick." Jing Xian saw the anxiety in the boy's eyes and said with a smile, "I have been learning this since I was a child. I want to make some medicine at home for backup. In the next two days, I may have to make it every day."

Damao didn't expect that he had misunderstood and felt a little embarrassed.

After Jingxian found out, she told him something else to distract him.

“Making medicine is not a simple matter. For example, our traditional Chinese medicine

The process of rolling it into balls is very complicated." Jing Xian explained it to Damao bit by bit, and found that Damao listened very carefully.

Jing Xian thought, she didn't know whether this child would have a smooth future, but no matter what, it was necessary for him to learn more.

"If you are interested, you can come and see me when I make medicine in the future."

Da Mao was surprised: "Can I learn this?"

"Why not?" Jing Xian has been in the apocalypse for a long time, and her thoughts are a little different from those of people today.

People nowadays pay much attention to taking in disciples.

In the past, doctors would take apprentices from a young age, and generally they had no way to learn, and could not learn. Not only doctors, but also chefs would only teach after they had taken in an apprentice. Carpenters, tailors, embroiderers, etc. were all the same.

She thinks it's nothing to learn.

However, Damao felt that this was not something he could learn easily.

"Mom, should I become your disciple?"

Jing Xian finally understood the young man's worries and shook her head, saying, "No need. You are my son. If you want to learn, just learn. It would be the best if you can learn, but it doesn't matter if you can't."

There was a more focused light in Damao's eyes.

No one keeps pressing on serious students, and it's also scary.

Shang Nanchen came over to call her to eat, and seeing that one of them was teaching seriously and the other was learning seriously, he almost didn't want to disturb them. But if he didn't call her, Jingxian would be late for work.

After dinner, Shang Nanchen and Jing Xian went to work.

On the way, Shang Nanchen asked her: "Did you teach Damao at noon?"

"I saw that he was a little interested, so I taught him." Jing Xian stopped and asked, "Is it impossible to teach him?"

Shang Nanchen shook his head with a complicated expression: "It's not that I can't, but you don't have to teach him these things for my sake. If you don't want to teach, don't teach. Don't go out of your way to do anything."

He was worried that this would be bad for Jingxian.

"You see there are so many Western medicine doctors, I also want to learn more about Chinese medicine. Not to mention today I am teaching Da Mao, even if there are children who want to learn and are willing to learn, I will teach them. It is not difficult at all, and I am happy to do it."

She wishes Chinese medicine could become more powerful.

"I'm glad you don't make it difficult for me." Shang Nanchen didn't want him to be forced to teach the child knowledge for his sake.

“It’s really not difficult.”

Jing Xian had no choice but to say it again.

hospital.

Lin Qingwen came down from the building, her face full of fatigue. She had already undergone three operations in a row, and she looked particularly haggard.

"Director Lin, what's wrong with you?"

Jing Xian saw Lin Qingwen passing by from the window, and noticed that her face looked strange, so she quickly called out to stop her.

"Maybe I'm tired."

Lin Qingwen came over and leaned against the window, her face turning even paler.

Jing Xian felt that something was wrong with her and asked, "How about I take her pulse?"

"Okay." Lin Qingwen forced a smile and held out her hand. "I thought you were just a professional pharmacist. I didn't expect you could take a pulse?"

"I learned it all from an old man in the village when I was a kid. The old man was an old doctor. In the early years, people from the imperial city came to him for medical treatment. Not to mention that people from all over the country were looking to him. He had high standards. If he hadn't seen that I had a good memory and some talent, and most importantly, felt sorry for me, he wouldn't have taught me."

Lin Qingwen studied Western medicine. Before she finished her studies, her family had to travel a long way to see an old Chinese doctor if they wanted to see a doctor.

"Do you want to change your job and become a practicing doctor directly?" Lin Qingwen felt that being a doctor was much better than working in a pharmacy.

"I'm too young and no one trusts me." Jing Xian was telling the truth.

Lin Qingwen was speechless when she saw Jing Xian's pretty face.

She asked Jingxian to help take her pulse, but she actually wanted to distract herself and avoid feeling worse. She didn't come here for Jingxian's medical skills, and subconsciously she thought Jingxian only knew superficial things.

"Do you often feel back pain?" After Jing Xian finished speaking, Lin Qingwen looked at her in surprise.

"Are you really a Chinese medicine doctor?"

“…”

This is what was said.

Jing Xian didn't say anything, she just took a pen and wrote a prescription and handed it to Lin Qingwen: "Here is the prescription, you need to go back and take the Chinese medicine to regulate your body. Don't take it lightly, you will know how powerful it is in a few years."

Lin Qingwen saw the prescription, which was filled with Chinese medicine. She recognized the words and knew the medicines, but when they were put together she was confused.

"Will this really cure what ails me?"

"You got sick after giving birth. You didn't take good care of yourself when you gave birth, and this is the root of the disease. If you don't take good care of yourself, you will suffer in the future." Jing Xian said it very seriously, and Lin Qingwen believed it for some reason.

"Okay, you can get me some medicine."

Jing Xian gave her some medicine: "Go home and boil it, take it three times a day. Morning, noon and night, don't stop. Drink it for a month, and then come back to see me. I'll change the prescription for you then."

Lin Qingwen returned home with the medicine and felt like she was possessed.

She was very tired and had no strength left in her body. She lay on the kang and fell asleep in a daze.

When I opened my eyes again, I found that it was Captain Li who came back.

"What's wrong with you? Why do you take so many Chinese medicines?" Captain Li saw that his wife looked unhappy and reached out to touch her forehead.

Lin Qingwen shook her head: "I'm not sick. When I got home from get off work today, Jing Xian took my pulse. She said I needed to take care of my body, so she prescribed me a lot of medicine. I bought it and then I realized it was unnecessary."

Captain Li was deeply impressed by Jingxian's name.

Jing Xian was Shang Nanchen's young wife. When she first came to the army, she was known throughout the military region for her extravagance. Later, she loved to eat seafood that others thought was rotten, which made people in the entire military region laugh at her, and Shang Nanchen was also laughed at many times.

Later, she raised the two skinny kids into fair and tender ones, wrote recipes, and offered many valuable suggestions.

So much so that everyone above knows this person.

But just this morning, he saw that the teacher looked in good spirits, so he went up to ask him a question and found out that it was all thanks to Shang Nanchen's young wife.

"You should listen to her!" Commander Li told the story of the division commander. "Although Comrade Jingxian is young, she is really capable. No one in your hospital can cure the division commander's back pain, but Comrade Jingxian took action and the effect was immediate."

"Is it that exaggerated?" Lin Qingwen couldn't believe it.

Captain Li said, "You have seen the commander's illness before. He has difficulty walking. In more serious cases, he is paralyzed in bed. He has been hospitalized before. It is especially unbearable when it is cloudy and rainy. But this problem has been solved. Yesterday, I saw the commander was in so much pain that he couldn't straighten his back and even had difficulty walking. When I met him today, he seemed to be in good health."

Everyone cherishes their life.

Originally, Lin Qingwen thought she was fine and it didn't matter whether she took the medicine or not, but now she doesn't think so anymore.

"Then I'll get up and boil the medicine."

Captain Li said, "Why are you getting up? I'll boil some medicine for you."

I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect.

After Lin Qingwen took the medicine, she felt much more comfortable when she went to bed at night.

On the other hand, Jing Xian didn't know all these things.

Shang Nanchen came home from get off work and cooked, while Jing Xian was kneading pills. She originally planned to boil a dose of medicine for Shang Nanchen to drink, but later she felt that boiling the medicine was too troublesome, so it would be better to make pills.

This time she rubbed out a lot and put it in a bottle, which can be eaten for ten days to half a month.

When Damao saw the pills she had rolled out, his eyes sparkled.

"I'll let you try next time." After Jing Xian said that, Damao nodded vigorously.

She smiled and said, "It's time to eat. Go in and wash your hands and eat."

After dinner, Jing Xian went to pack up her food. Shang Nanchen said a few words to the children and then went out with Jing Xian.

Teacher Wei had already had a good meal at home and was waiting for Jingxian to come.

Teacher Wei's wife Xu Guizhi was overwhelmed with enthusiasm when she saw Jingxian.

"Xiao Jing, come in and have a seat, and have some sugar water." Xu Guizhi closed the door, followed him into the house, and asked, "It's really cold outside today, come sit on the kang and warm yourself up for a while."

Jing Xian was not cold, but she did not reject Xu Gui either.

The kindness of the branch.

She needs to be warmed up before the acupuncture can be performed.

Drinking brown sugar water, Jing Xian was chatting with Xu Guizhi, and carefully asked about the specific situation of Commander Wei. Shang Nanchen talked to Commander Wei, and they talked about the army. Jing Xian didn't listen carefully.

Because acupuncture takes a long time, Jingxian's hands are almost warm, so she suggests starting the acupuncture.

This time she used her supernatural powers again, through acupuncture, to open up the congested areas on his body bit by bit. This is a very time-consuming and laborious process, and it must be done with caution.

If she had enough superpowers, she would just need to use them to travel throughout his body, clear the blocked areas, and then solve the problem.

It doesn't need to be as troublesome as it is now.

But this kind of trouble is also a good thing.

At least there are no other troubles.

After Jing Xian finished the acupuncture, a layer of sweat appeared on her forehead. Shang Nanchen supported her and asked with his eyes: "Are you okay? Can you hold on? Otherwise, I will carry you back now?"

Jing Xian didn't know how she could see so much meaning in his eyes.

She shook her head gently, telling Shang Nanchen not to worry, and leaned against the wall at the head of the kang, slowly drinking brown sugar water to replenish her strength.

Shang Nanchen frowned and stared at Jing Xian, afraid that she would get into an accident. Jing Xian enjoyed his care, which made her feel real and that she was cared for in this world.

After leaving Teacher Wei's house, Shang Nanchen carried her back as usual.

With the preparations made yesterday, Jing Xian said nothing today and just let him prepare.

When she got home, she took a shower and lay down in bed.

This time she didn't fall asleep.

When Shang Nanchen finished washing and went into the room, he went to bed and turned off the light, and sneaked over to her side, she stuffed the medicine into his mouth. Shang Nanchen really didn't doubt it and swallowed it directly.

“Is this medicine?”

Jing Xian said, "You're asking me after you've already eaten. Don't you think it's too late?"

"Can you still hurt me?" Shang Nanchen rubbed her waist, "Go to sleep quickly, you've worked so hard today, how can you go to work tomorrow if you don't rest well?"

Jing Xian whispered something in his ear, Shang Nanchen froze, and asked in shock: "Really? Is it okay?"

"Okay, that's enough."

Her voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.

Shang Nanchen probably didn't hear anything, and there was no movement for a long time. Jing Xian didn't have the courage to say it again, and when she was about to give up, Shang Nanchen moved.

There's a north wind outside.

whirring sound.

It's so cold that it can freeze your ears off.

Inside the house, there is warmth.

Jing Xian thought she was going to die.

The supernatural power in her body slowly recovered and nourished her body. Only when it was fully recovered could she feel the imperceptible growth.

Although it was only a tiny bit, it was enough to make Jingxian happy.

The next day, early morning.

Jing Xian opened her eyes and looked very well.

Shang Nanchen originally planned to ask for leave for her, but when he found that she was in better condition than yesterday, he looked at her twice in surprise.

"Not uncomfortable?" he asked in a low voice.

Jing Xian shook her head: "What do you want to eat in the morning?"

"I cooked sorghum rice porridge, some steamed buns, and some stir-fried cabbage. In the other room, there's hot water boiling in a pot, and I'll cook a pot of seafood right after the water is boiling. Do you want something else?"

There is also an egg per person.

There are many children, and a pound of eggs is about ten. If she doesn't eat them, it will cost them 55 cents for two days.

Even so, Jingxian still insisted on cooking a few eggs every morning.

I eat eggs every day if I can buy them.

If you can’t afford it, stop eating for a few days.

I'll continue eating when I have more money.

There are too few things that can provide nutritional supplements for children nowadays. An egg a day is the best life Jingxian can give them.

Damao saw the boiled eggs but didn't take them.

Jing Xian put it in front of him and said, "Eat it all. Don't be reluctant. One for each person. The whole family will have one. When we can buy eggs in the future,

One per person. If you can’t buy one, you won’t eat it.”

Only then did Damao eat the egg.

Although Xiaomao is young and looks fierce, he is not an ignorant child.

He ate the eggs and said seriously, "Mom, I will buy eggs for you when I make money."

Fusheng was confused.

Why did Xiao Mao interrupt him?

"In the future, I will buy eggs and meat for Mom!" Fusheng announced loudly.

Jing Xian smiled and said, "Then I will eat three eggs a day, one in the morning, one at noon, and one at night."

"Okay! You can eat as much as you want. I'll buy it for you! I'll give you all my salary." Fusheng was very satisfied.

Xiaomao's beautiful eyebrows are almost getting tangled.

Jing Xian couldn't help but laugh when she saw it.

The four children are all good-looking. Da Mao has a gentle temperament, mature and stable. Xiao Mao's temperament is very similar to Tiedan, but Xiao Mao looks more lethal than Tiedan and a little more ferocious.

He was young at that time, and looked a little fierce.

It makes people want to tease him.

"Eat quickly, or your dad will finish eating and you will have nothing to eat."

Fusheng immediately urged Xiaomao: "Eat quickly, our dad is a big glutton!"
