Chapter 43

This voice sounds like Song Ning's!

Jing Xian hurriedly got up to put on her shoes and ran outside. Shang Nanchen saw this and followed her. Before leaving, he said to the children, "Clear the table, wash the dishes and chopsticks, and don't go out."

I don't know what happened to this sound.

Shang Nanchen didn't want to scare the children.

Jing Xian ran out of the house in one breath and saw Song Ning kneeling at the door, holding a woman in his arms, whose head was covered in blood. There were many people watching the excitement and talking about it.

"What's going on?"

"Your head is broken, why don't you go to the hospital?"

"Oh, was this girl beaten by someone, or did she hit herself?"

…

Those people were talking at once, and many of them had followed Song Ning and the others all the way here. They were all standing at the door watching the excitement.

Jing Xian rushed out from the yard and shouted coldly, "Get out of the way!"

Those people took a look at Jing Xian and found that she was a thin girl with fair skin. No one was afraid of her and they gathered around her and refused to leave. Shang Nanchen followed closely and said in a sharp voice, "What are you all gathering here to see?"

Oh no!

This tall guy is really scary.

The women who were watching the excitement moved aside.

Jing Xian squeezed in and knelt on one knee. She opened the woman's eyelids with her hands, held her pulse with one hand, and stared at the wound on the woman's forehead.

"Can't go to the hospital?" Jing Xian asked Song Ning in a low voice.

Song Ning's face turned pale with fear. Seeing Jing Xian was like seeing her backbone. At first, she didn't dare to say anything when she saw Jing Xian checking the wound. When Jing Xian asked her, she said, "I can't go."

Jing Xian stood up and said to Song Ning, "Go lift your feet."

She took over Song Ning's position and lifted the woman up, shouting to Shang Nanchen beside her: "Give me a hand."

Shang Nanchen was about to help when Ma Shufen and Zhao Xiuzhi came forward to help carry the woman. He had no choice but to open the door and go into the house to make room for the woman.

Several children heard the noise and stood at the door. Shang Nanchen said to them, "Just stay in the east room and don't come out."

As they were talking, Jingxian and the others carried someone in.

Shang Nanchen lifted the curtain and asked them to carry the person into the house, all the way to the kang in the west room, and then he went out.

"Pour a basin of hot water."

After Jing Xian finished speaking, Ma Shufen went out to help pour hot water. Zhao Xiuzhi had no place to stand, and wanted to leave, but seeing Ma Shufen still there, she felt embarrassed to leave. So she just stood by and lent a hand.

Song Ning was so frightened that he stood there in a daze, his little face pale.

"I'm going to the hospital to buy some things. I'll also get her some medicine." Jing Xian looked at the bewildered Song Ning, and then at Zhao Xiuzhi standing beside her. She felt it would be more reliable to talk to Zhao Xiuzhi, "Sister-in-law, can you help take care of this for a while?"

Zhao Xiuzhi didn't expect Jingxian to take the initiative to talk to her. She said in a flattered tone, "Okay, okay, it's just a matter of one person. I can do it. Don't worry."

"Thank you."

Jing Xian thanked him and turned to leave.

Seeing Ma Shufen pouring hot water, she said, "Sister-in-law, bring the hot water over and wipe her face. Don't touch the wound."

"Okay, I know."

Jing Xian walked outside, and Shang Nanchen followed her, "I'll just go directly to buy whatever you want."

"I have to buy the medicine myself." Jing Xian didn't explain the reason to Shang Nanchen, she just said, "You go to the army. Aren't you very busy recently?"

"I can take a leave." Shang Nanchen was worried about her.

Jing Xian explained the reason to her: "It's not good for you to know about this, and it's not convenient for you to know. It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's someone's privacy. Just go and do your thing, nothing will happen."

"You're really good?"

Jing Xian felt that Shang Nanchen was sometimes very annoying: "If I can't handle it, I won't let you go. I know what I'm doing, you should go quickly, otherwise if you stay at home, the girl will wake up and she will be embarrassed."

"Why is it so confidential?"

Shang Nanchen complained.

"Just keep it a secret."

The two walked out together, and when they reached the intersection, they separated as usual. Jing Xian went to the hospital, got a prescription and some medicine, and hurried back.

She walks very fast.

It took about ten minutes to get back.

Jingxian boiled the medicine and asked Damao to help watch the medicine stove.

She used iodine to disinfect the wound on the girl's head and then bandaged it with gauze.

Song Ning was much better now. When he saw Jing Xian finished wrapping, he wanted to say something but hesitated because there were other people at home.

"I know, you don't have to tell me."

Jing Xian doesn't ask about other people's privacy. As a doctor, her only responsibility is to treat patients and relieve their pain. She doesn't ask any other questions.

Ma Shufen may not be very smart, but she is very good at dealing with people.

She could tell that there were some things that were not easy for outsiders to know, so she said very consciously, "Since there is nothing else, Xiuzhi and I will go back first. If there is anything else, just shout a few times in the yard and we will come right over."

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Jing Xian stood up and saw them out.

"What are you thanking me for? We're all neighbors. Besides, it's just a matter of lending a hand." Ma Shufen pulled Zhao Xiuzhi outside.

Zhao Xiuzhi breathed a sigh of relief and followed Ma Shufen outside.

When she got to the door, Zhao Xiuzhi saw her mother-in-law and took the initiative to say, "There's a pretty girl next door. I don't know what happened to her. She hit her head and it looks like a bloody gourd."

Old Mrs. Wu glanced at her and whispered, "Stop talking about other people's affairs behind their backs."

Zhao Xiuzhi felt choked up and whispered back, "I'm just telling you something."

Old Mrs. Wu walked into the yard, and Zhao Xiuzhi followed her like a little wife.

Jing Xian returned to the room and saw four little kids gathered around the medicine stove, staring at it with great curiosity. When she entered the room, the girl was still asleep, and Song Ning was secretly sitting on the edge of the kang, wiping her tears.

"Jing Xian." Song Ning looked at Jing Xian's name hesitantly.

Jing Xian said: "Does she not want it? Or does she want to stay?"

"What? How could she possibly want it!" Song Ning was very eloquent at this moment, talking like a fighter plane, "She was deceived. That old bastard was not single at all. He had a wife. The man tricked her into holding a wedding banquet first, and then took her home to get the marriage certificate. She foolishly believed it. Anyway, holding a wedding banquet is the same as getting married, and others didn't think it was a big deal, but thought it was quite normal. Who knew that the old bastard already had a wife at home, and she gave birth to three boys and two girls for him."

This……

Jing Xian looked at the girl with closed eyes with sympathy. She was as beautiful as a flower and a pretty girl.

Who could have imagined that I would meet such a bad person in the club.

"If she hadn't received a letter today, addressed to that old bastard's hometown. She saw it was registered mail and thought it was something urgent, so she opened it to take a look. Unexpectedly, the letter was written by that man's country wife. Only then did she know that he had been married for a long time, and his eldest child was already in his teens." Song Ning was so angry that he wanted to pick up a knife and kill someone.

"She wanted to give him a surprise, telling him they were having a baby. But he ended up surprising her first."

Jing Xian frowned: "What is she going to do? Just beat the child and be done with it?"

"What else can we do? It will be embarrassing if we make a scene." In fact, Song Ning didn't know what to do, "She just doesn't want this child."

At this moment, Zhang Huijuan opened her eyes and stared at the roof.

He said in a hoarse voice: "Song Ning, why are you saving me? Just let me die."

"Zhang Huijuan, what kind of bullshit are you talking about? You're willing to sacrifice your own life for a worthless person like that. Have you ever thought about what will happen to your parents after you die? Can you really swallow this? Let that beast continue to live his good life?"

Song Ning was so angry that he started swearing at her, wanting to wake her up by scolding her.

"What can I do?" Zhang Huijuan cried silently, "I...I was ruined by him. I'm even pregnant with his child!"

She truly thought she had married the right person.

Who could have known that it was such a dirty and rotten piece of shit.

"sister in law!"

Song Ning looked at Jing Xian pleadingly.

Jingxian really wanted to say that she was actually the youngest.

"Your name is Zhang Huijuan, right?"

Zhang Huijuan just noticed Jing Xian, and thought of what Song Ning said, that there was someone who could help her, and then she knew that Jing Xian was the person Song Ning was talking about.

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Zhang Huijuan was a very polite girl, and you could tell she was truly desperate.

But who wants to die?

No one wants to die as long as there is a glimmer of hope.

If Zhang Huijuan doesn't handle this properly, her boyfriend might drag her into this. No matter what she does, her reputation will be ruined.

A tree lives by its bark; a man lives by his face.

People of this era live with their backs held high.

Zhang Huijuan's waist was almost broken because she met such a scumbag.

"I can help you get rid of the child, and no one else will know. Also, if you don't report his lifestyle problems, report something else." Jing Xian looked directly into Zhang Huijuan's eyes, "It's impossible that he doesn't have any problems at all, right?"

How could a man with such courage be a law-abiding man?

There is definitely something dirty about him.

A ray of hope burst out from Zhang Huijuan's dead eyes, like grass growing in adversity, full of hope for new life.

"I know!" Zhang Huijuan gritted her teeth, "There are several banned books hidden in his room."

"Then just report him and divorce him." Although they didn't get the marriage certificate, it was still appropriate to divorce.

This kind of divorce is much better than a divorce that brings up the reputation of a second marriage.

Although it seems that Zhang Huijuan doesn't recognize any relatives, nowadays most of the reports are made by relatives, so it is not considered unusual.

Zhang Huijuan sat up from the kang and was about to get down and kneel down to Jing Xian.

Jing Xian hurriedly held the man down and said, "You have to think carefully about the baby in your belly. If you don't want it, take the medicine in a while. It's best to take a leave of absence for the next three or four days and take care of yourself. It's best to rest for a month, or at least half a month."

Zhang Huijuan cried and said, "Thank you, Jingxian, thank you so much. I don't want the child anymore!"

"Okay, wait an hour and drink the medicine when it's ready." Jing Xian said to Song Ning, "You have a watch, keep an eye on the time. When the medicine is ready, pour it for her to drink. I have to go to work, so I'll leave first."

"Just do your own thing and don't worry about me." Zhang Huijuan now looked energetic.

Jing Xian went outside and told Damao, "Da Mao, you don't have to worry about it after the medicine is boiled. Take your brothers out to play. Don't run to the back hill or to the beach. Got it?"

"Yeah, I know."

"You three should listen to your brother."

The three little ones nodded in unison.

Jing Xian remembered that there was still hawthorn cake at home, so she went back to the house and took a piece, cut off two pieces for Song Ning and Zhang Huijuan, and cut the rest into four pieces and gave them to the four kids.

"Good food for obedient children. Okay, you stay at home while mommy goes to work."

It was Jingxian's first time to go to work on time and she was almost late.

Not long after, Xu Ning came down from the building, knocked on the door and came in. Jing Xian knew that she was probably here for Song Ning's matter.

The place is so small, there really isn't any secrets at all.

"Jingxian, what's going on with Song Ning?" Xu Ning was also quite direct. "I just heard that she brought a woman covered in blood to see you today, and she was unwilling to come to the hospital for treatment."

Xu Ning is Song Ning's sister-in-law.

Even if she isn't, as a friend she should still show some concern.

Jing Xian said: "A colleague from Song Ning's Art Troupe was upset about something and didn't want too many people to know, so he came to my house to ask me for help."

"Why doesn't she come to see me?" Xu Ning frowned.

"Maybe she's afraid that her brother will worry." Jing Xian thought, what about Xu Ning?

Although Xu Ning is also an obstetrician and gynecologist, she has to perform abortions by surgery.

Surgery, not everyone knows about it, but most people know about it.

By then, Zhang Huijuan will have no way to live her life.

Xu Ning frowned: "Song Ning is really like a child who has not grown up. She brings everyone to your side and blames you for all the troubles. She is really..." immature!

Jing Xian said with a smile: "She is Song Zheng's sister. Song Zheng and our captain Shang have a relationship like brothers. You are treating us as outsiders when you say that."

"That's different." Xu Ning really had a headache.

"Besides, do you want her to come to me when she has problems, or is it better for her to solve it herself?" After Jing Xian said this, Xu Ning's body froze and she was speechless.

It would be fine for Song Ning to go find Jing Xian if she didn't tell her and didn't ask her for help.

At least no matter what happened to Song Ning, they would know everything.

Xu Ning felt relieved when she knew that it was not Song Ning's fault.

"Then I'll go up first, you get busy."

"OK."

Xu Ning went back upstairs.

Jing Xian got up to check the medicines in the pharmacy, then made a note in a notebook. After making the note, she checked it again carefully. She also wrote down the medicines she needed on a list and waited for the person in charge of the hospital to go and stock them.

It took two hours to finish the work.

Jing Xian sat on the chair, opened her notebook, and began to write the recipe for herbal medicine. She was afraid that she would forget it if she kept it in her mind. It would be better to write it down long ago and put it away. Even if someone needed it one day, she could just take it out instead of rewriting it herself.

Jingxian wrote it very seriously.

When someone came to get medicine, she would go and get it for them.

By the time she got off work, she had already written a lot.

Jingxian put the notebook in the drawer and waited to continue writing when she went to work tomorrow.

When Jing Xian walked out of the hospital and saw Shang Nanchen standing at the hospital entrance, she was surprised.

She ran over happily, stood beside Shang Nanchen, and asked in surprise: "Why are you here?"

"I'm here to pick you up from get off work."

Shang Nanchen walked away first, Jing Xian hurriedly followed him, teasing: "You've never picked me up before."

What can he say?

Are you saying he didn't know about this before?

"In the past, I was thinking about going home early to light a fire and cook. Today, the time is just right, so I came to pick you up and go home together." Shang Nanchen straightened his back, turned around and met Jing Xian's eyes that were looking at him with a smile.

He coughed lightly: "You don't want me to pick you up?"

"Of course not." Jing Xian was very surprised.

She had watched a movie in the end times, where the girl worked in a convenience store. It was the supply and marketing cooperative of today. But it was very different from the supply and marketing cooperative of today.

The glass of the convenience store is large and bright.

She was the only one working in the store, and it was the night shift.

After the customers had chosen their items, they would go to the cashier to pay, and then she would lock the door and leave when it was time to get off work.

The end of get off work is 12 o'clock at night.

She was always scared when she was alone and she even didn't dare to take a taxi.

The boy followed the girl every day.

Until one day, the girl was in danger and the boy stepped forward. The girl realized that the boy had been protecting her and sent her home every day.

Later, they became lovers.

He took her to work, and she waited for him to pick her up after get off work.

Jing Xian never thought that there would be someone to pick her up one day.

Is this what it feels like to be in love?

Jing Xian didn’t quite understand and didn’t know what love was. She just felt that this was very reassuring and she was extremely happy.

On the way back, Jing Xian wanted to hold Shang Nanchen's hand, but gave up when she thought about bumping into someone. If people talked about her and pointed fingers at her, it would be more trouble than it's worth.

Now is not the time to be so free.

When they walked out to another road, they met quite a few people. They said hello to Shang Nanchen, and even after they had walked a long way, some of them turned back to look at them.

Jingxian felt that she was really foresighted.

But what are these people looking at?

The couple were just walking back together after get off work. Was there any need to look back so frequently?

Even after getting married, can't we walk together openly?

She didn't do anything morally wrong.

It's just that the couple walked a little closer.

"Look at the looks in those people's eyes, don't you feel uncomfortable?" Jing Xian actually wanted to ask if he felt that this was bad.

Shang Nanchen asked: "Are they jealous of the deep revolutionary feelings between us?"

Jing Xian: “…”

Never mind. She shouldn't have asked.

Shang Nanchen doesn't understand anything at all.

After the two entered the house, they found four children playing with glass balls in the yard.

"It's in, it's in!"

Fusheng jumped up happily, picked up the glass balls and put them in the iron can. The iron can was the can for them and Malted Milk. Tiedan and Fusheng each had one. Da Mao and Xiao Mao didn't have any, but they put them in their pockets.

Xiao Mao snorted arrogantly: "Wait!"

new round.

Xiao Mao took action without giving anyone else a chance and took all the glass balls away.

Fusheng immediately said in frustration: "We don't want to play with Simao anymore. Simao is too good. He has taken all my marbles."

"If you can't beat me, then don't play with me. That's wrong! You should think about defeating me!" Xiao Mao lectured people in a very logical way. "Your personality is not suitable for being an older brother. You should just be a younger brother!"

"No! I'm the brother!"

It was so hard to get someone to call him brother, he couldn't give it up.

Fu Sheng was unusually persistent.

The children were having so much fun that it was not until Da Mao discovered that Jing Xian and Shang Nanchen had returned that the other children noticed them.

"Mom, my aunt and her colleagues went back home, took their medicine and passed away." Damao said.

"Got it, you guys continue playing."

There was no work for the children to do in winter, so Shang Nanchen could take care of the fire and they didn't need any help.

Shang Nanchen went in with firewood, and Jing Xian took out a bowl of white flour and mixed it with cornmeal.

"Want to eat noodles tonight? Heat it up and go to bed right after eating." Jing Xian asked Shang Nanchen.

Shang Nanchen likes to eat noodles, so he said, "Okay!"

Then cook the noodles.

Jing Xian first kneaded the dough and put it in the basin.

It is necessary to halve the noodles before eating them.

She heated up the pot and began to cut the noodles.

Jingxian was very strong, so rolling the noodles was not as difficult as for others. She quickly rolled out the noodles, cut them and placed them on the curtain. She took a few eggs and took out the soybean paste to make egg sauce.

After thinking about it, he took out another piece of meat and prepared to make halved meat.

The noodles are cooked and served.

Egg sauce is easy to make. After frying the eggs, pour the diluted sauce into the pot.

After it opens, serve it out.

Finally, when you make the brine and pour it into the pot, the aroma will come out.

Several children smelled the fragrance and ran in from the yard, eager to jump into the pot to have a bite.

"Wash your hands and take your chopsticks, and get ready to eat." Jing Xian poked the third child, and Fusheng blinked his big dark eyes and ran to wash his hands immediately.

Little Lao Si refused to leave and stood beside Jing Xian.

Jing Xian looked back at him again and again, and was about to ask if the child was feeling unwell. But she saw the boy frowning and staring at her seriously, with an expectant look in his eyes.

She suddenly realized: "Little Fourth, go wash your hands!"

I also rubbed his short hair.

A bit tricky, but interesting.

Xiao Mao then walked over with a serious face to wash his hands, and looked at Fusheng with particular reserve.

Fusheng whispered, "I saw it all just now! Mom also rubbed your head! She likes you too!"

This little fool!

Xiao Mao said proudly, "You don't need to tell me that."

Okay!

Fu Sheng is good-tempered

She said, "Anyway, Mom likes you, me, and my brothers too! She is the best mom!"

"Yes, you are right."

She is truly the best mom.

Xiao Mao seemed more mature than a real child. He looked at his brother, knowing that his brother had heard what he and Fusheng had said. He washed his hands, walked over, and asked his brother to help him wipe his hands.

Damao takes good care of the dead.

Tiedan wiped his hands, went to get the bowl and chopsticks, and then sat on the kang waiting for dinner.

Fusheng also climbed up quickly.

Xiao Mao stood beside Da Mao and whispered, "Brother, we will only have one mother from now on, right?"

"Well, we only have this one mother from now on." Da Mao touched his brother's head, "Go in and wait for dinner. Mom cooked meat today, it smells delicious!"

Da Mao and Xiao Mao also got on the kang.

Shang Nanchen came in with the last pot of salted pork, and the children immediately rubbed their hands to try it out.

It’s not that they are greedy, it’s that they smell really good!

Jing Xian came in and saw that they hadn't eaten yet, so she said, "If you don't eat now, the noodles will become clumpy. Why are you still standing there? Eat quickly! You don't have to wait for me."

Several children helped themselves to noodles.

But none of them ate vegetables.

Jing Xian took a small spoon and put it in two bowls: "The meat I made is a little salty, you guys try it, how does it taste?"

Shang Nanchen gave each of the children a large spoonful and also took a spoonful for himself.

Several people ate it almost at the same time.

"Wow!"

After Fusheng finished speaking, he buried his head in eating.

The movements and frequencies of the other children were almost identical to Fu Sheng's.

Jing Xian looked at the father and his five sons who were concentrating on eating and asked, "Is it the meat that tastes better, or is it the meat I cooked that tastes better?"

"You're delicious." Shang Nanchen said without raising his head, and his body suddenly froze.

Fu Sheng was surprised and asked, "Can my mother eat it too?"
