Chapter 54
"What are you going to do with your classmate in the future?" Jing Xian asked her.
Xu Ning shook her head: "I don't know, but I guess she might go somewhere else to get married. But she is so confused, and after all this trouble, I'm afraid no one would be willing to marry her."
Um?
Jingxian understood instantly and didn't ask any further questions.
If you are not married, you are no longer a grown-up girl and it will be difficult for you to get married.
It will be even worse if you tell others about it.
Jing Xian felt that even if nothing happened to Chen Dongping, he probably wouldn't marry her. Even if he did, he would wait until something happened. Otherwise, when Chen Dongping was transferred, he would forget about her. Then she would have no place to cry.
"This is also a good thing." Jing Xian said.
Xu Ning was slightly startled, then nodded with a wry smile: "But a woman's whole life is to find an honest man to marry and live a happy life with. Her family is well off, so it would be nice for her to marry a military officer. Who would have thought that she would meet someone like this."
"You've said everything you need to say, but she didn't listen. It's her own fault that she has come to this. You don't need to be responsible for other people's lives, you only need to be responsible for your own life." Jing Xian saw that she felt very guilty, so she gave her some advice, "But you and her may not be able to contact each other in the future. She probably doesn't want to contact people like you either. Be prepared."
Xu Ning didn't think of this.
In less than half a month, the girl was confirmed to be fine and was transferred to another place.
When she left, Xu Ning didn't say a word, nor did she leave any message.
There wasn't even a letter afterwards.
At least she said goodbye when others left.
Xu Ning really felt that all her enthusiasm had been eaten by a dog. She felt so upset that she couldn't eat for several days and blisters appeared in her mouth.
Jing Xian went to the door, plucked a handful of double-flowered buds, and boiled them in a pot to make tea for Xu Ning.
After two days, Xu Ning's mouth was no longer bad.
I also come here on weekends to help with farming.
Jing Xian was in charge of planting peanuts. After planting, she said to Xu Ning and her sister-in-law, "When the peanuts are ready, come over and help peel them. I'll salt them and you can take them home to eat."
"Really?"
Song Ning was the first to answer. His eyes sparkled like a money-grubber seeing gold, frighteningly bright.
Jing Xian smiled: "Do you think I have lied to you?"
"Can you also help me make a pig's head?" Song Ning was a little embarrassed, "I want to take it back for my parents to eat."
Could her little tricks deceive Jing Xian?
Jing Xian had seen through it a long time ago.
"You buy it and have it delivered next week. We don't have a cold stove at home, and it will be too hot if we light a fire on the kang." Not only the children couldn't stand it, the adults couldn't stand it either.
Boys have strong internal energy, so they wear less than adults in winter and come back covered in sweat.
Jingxian was worried that their cotton-padded clothes would be too wet, so she collected a lot of flour bags and made autumn clothes and trousers for them. The autumn trousers were made larger and could be worn for two years. After all, the children were still young and growing fast.
Making autumn pants is not troublesome, but the trouble is that there is no flour bag, so it is not easy to make a pair of autumn pants.
So Jingxian always makes larger ones at one time so that the children can wear them for two more years.
Especially since they have three children of the same age, if they were two years older, they could make the clothes fit them and if they were smaller, they could give them to their younger brothers. Now all three brothers have clothes to wear, which is good enough.
When Song Ning heard this, he immediately became happy.
"Is there anything you need to make the cold stove? I can help prepare it." Song Ning asked.
"Iron pot."
“Not a problem.”
Jing Xian said hurriedly, "You don't need to do that. When the logistics staff go to buy it, just ask them to bring one back."
"There's no need to go to all that trouble."
Song Ning is sometimes very swift and decisive when doing things.
The next day, she stood at the door and shouted.
Jing Xian came out of the yard and saw the iron pot at her feet. She didn’t know what to say for a moment!
Could she say that it was because their refrigerator had not been built yet, otherwise they would have to dismantle it and rebuild it?
"How much is this iron pot?"
Jing Xian wanted to give money to Song Ning, but Song Ning stopped her from going in. Jing Xian knew that a pot was not cheap, and it would probably cost more than ten yuan, so she didn't ask, and directly took out fifteen yuan and stuffed it into Song Ning's hand.
Song Ning said she didn't want anything.
Jing Xian said with a sullen face: "If you don't want it, don't come to our house for dinner in the future."
"Sister-in-law, I come to your house for dinner every day. Although I've been given food coupons and so on, the food I eat out is definitely not as good as what I eat at your house. It's just a pot, I can still afford it." Song Ning was not a shameless person. Every time he came over, he would bring some good things to the children.
She went home last month and brought back a bag of candy.
All the milk tablets at home have been eaten by the children.
Jing Xian was too embarrassed to mention this to her classmates on the grasslands, but luckily there were fish, shrimps and seafood to eat, which could supplement the needs of the children's bodies.
"I can afford it too." Jing Xian stuffed the money into Song Ning's pocket. "You need help buying a pot, so I won't give you any favors. I'll give you as much as you want, so that's it. Just eat."
Having said that, Song Ning really had nothing to say and could only passively accept the money.
"Then sister-in-law, if you want to buy something in the future and it is inconvenient for you to go out and buy it yourself, just come to me." Song Ning said, patting his chest.
Jing Xian was not polite: "That's for sure."
Shang Nanchen hadn't recovered yet, so he hadn't been to the army for a few days, but he wasn't idle, either, playing with the kids all day. After planting the peanuts and vegetables in his private plot, he took the kids back into the mountains.
Jing Xian was worried that the children would be bitten by snakes, so she prepared some snake and mosquito repellent, wrapped it in gauze, and had the children tie it around their bodies before letting Shang Nanchen take them away.
Otherwise, she felt that the children would be covered in bags when they returned.
The vegetables at home grew quite fast, and not a single seed was wasted. Jing Xian was worried that the ones she grew would stand out too much, so she went to see what other people's vegetables looked like before going home to help them grow their own vegetables.
Jing Xian stimulated all the vegetables in the yard to grow, then returned to the house and lay on the kang with a pale face to rest.
Before I knew it, I fell asleep.
She didn't know how long it had been before she heard voices coming from outside.
Zhang Liansheng asked: "Your body is recovering well, right? It's a bit fast!"
"It may be because of the diet. My wife gave me some Chinese medicine, so I may recover faster." Shang Nanchen said with a smile.
Zhang Liansheng always felt that these words sounded familiar, and when he looked at Shang Nanchen with a smile in his eyes and eyebrows, he wanted to turn around and leave.
Isn't it great to have a wife who knows a little bit about medicine?
If he dared to ask, Shang Nanchen would nod and say, "Yes, it's amazing. I want to show off. I want to show off to everyone."
Jing Xian was listening in the room with a smile on her face.
She was worried about Shang Nanchen's injury, so she waited until Shang Nanchen fell asleep at night before she quietly used her supernatural powers to treat his wounds. During the day, she pretended to prepare some healing powder and anti-inflammatory drugs.
The injury that was supposed to take a month to heal was almost healed in less than a week.
Jing Xian asked him to recuperate for a while to avoid attracting other people's attention.
"It seems that Comrade Jingxian's medical skills are good!" Zhang Liansheng had to answer the question he asked himself even while kneeling down. Who told him to be so talkative?
Shang Nanchen said humbly, "Her medical skills are OK. The main reason is that she has been learning Chinese medicine since she was a child. She is definitely better than others. But Chinese medicine is not her strongest point. She is best at making medicine. She is best at making plasters. For example, if you have backache or leg pain, her plasters are very effective. If combined with her acupuncture, it is really invincible. It is definitely effective. But it is too mentally exhausting. Generally, if it is not a serious illness, don't come to her."
Shang Nanchen thought of how Jing Xian looked every time after treating Teacher Wei, which was obviously because she had exhausted too much energy.
Zhang Liansheng felt sad.
It's hard to find a wife when someone is getting divorced.
How to get to Shangnanchen
Not only did he marry a married woman, she was one of the prettiest in the entire military region. Not only was she kind, she didn't mistreat the adopted child. Not only did she work in the hospital with her own abilities, she was also able to make medicine. I heard that she cured Commander Wei's disease, which no doctor in the city could cure.
This benefit will definitely fall on Shang Nanchen.
The more Zhang Liansheng thought about it, the more jealous he felt. They were both married to the same wife, so how could Shang Nanchen meet such a good one?
"If you have any previous illness or something, you can ask my wife. She is very good at treating this kind of disease." Shang Nanchen showed off and went back.
He entered the room and saw Jing Xian lying on the kang, looking unwell. He reached out and touched her head, asking, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Jing Xian raised her eyelids to look at him, wanting to say, "You'll feel better after having an injection."
Too bad it's not appropriate in broad daylight.
"No, just take a rest."
Shang Nanchen said, "Then I'll make dinner. How about millet rice today? I'll stew another pot of potatoes. I'll take out the sour radishes you soaked earlier, chop them up, and stir-fry them with the meat."
Jing Xian nodded weakly: "You decide."
Shang Nanchen’s cooking skills are pretty good, maybe he has some talent in it.
It’s not as delicious as Jingxian’s, but it’s better than many people’s.
At least, some of the kids didn't give up.
After dinner, the children washed the dishes, cleaned the outhouse, and were responsible for boiling water.
Shang Nanchen went outside to set up the cold stove while it was still daylight.
"It's set up in the compartment. No one sleeps on the kang in the compartment, so it doesn't matter if it's heated up. When summer comes, people basically use the cold stove to light a fire." Jing Xian followed out and watched from the side.
Shang Nanchen: “Okay.”
He did what he said. The bricks were all prepared and were ready to be used.
After finishing the pot stand, Shang Nanchen turned around and asked Jing Xian: "What do you think?"
"fine."
Jingxian has no objection.
Shang Nanchen took a look and thought it was okay, so he put the pot on when it was dry and smeared a layer of mud on the edge of the pot to prevent smoke from coming out of the edge of the pot.
Jing Xian poured water for him to wash his hands, and asked him, "Is Chen Dongping also related to Liu Cailan?"
"They have the best relationship." Shang Nanchen didn't want to say it at first, but seeing Jing Xian's curiosity, he satisfied her curiosity. "Chen Dongping has contact with many women, and his relationship with Liu Cailan is the closest. Liu Cailan and Chen Dongping also have the best relationship, but they both have many men and women."
Jing Xian: “!!!”
It is true that birds of a feather flock together.
Each one is so powerful.
As they were chatting, Zhao Xiuzhi came in from outside, looking hesitant, so Jingxian thought that Zhao Xiuzhi had heard what they were chatting just now.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?"
Zhao Xiuzhi said with a shameless face: "It's nothing, I just want to buy some ointment from you."
