Chapter 72

"???"

Just as Jing Xian was about to speak, Song Ning said, "Forget it, don't say anything, I don't care. I just think that if he doesn't work out, you should think about your own way out as soon as possible. Don't be stupid and raise a child for someone else, only to have no one to take care of you when you are old."

After Song Ning finished speaking, he asked Jing Xian very sincerely, "You won't be angry if I say this, right?"

"Not angry."

"Really?" Why doesn't she look like that?

Jing Xian said, "I'm really not angry. My grandmother was married for the second time and had a son when she married my grandfather. She didn't give my grandfather a child later, and her own son went to the army and reportedly died. Her stepson didn't drive her out of the old house because the people in the village didn't dare to do so. Until her death, her stepson never came back to see her. She had to give birth to a child for her stepson, otherwise she might really be driven away. It's quite pitiful, isn't it?"

Song Ning opened his mouth, but this time he didn't speak out loud. Instead, he thought about it carefully several times before he dared to speak.

"You are the daughter of that stepson, right?" After saying this, Song Ning wanted to slap herself twice.

For the first time, she felt that her mouth was deadly.

"No, no, no, you just treated me as if I was talking nonsense and said nothing." Song Ning didn't want to know anymore.

Jing Xian, however, thought it was not a big deal: "My mother had a difficult birth and was sent to the countryside to be taken care of by my grandmother just a few days after I was born. My grandmother used all her money to buy a ewe and its lamb. That's how she raised me up. During the famine years, she didn't want to eat a single bite and gave it all to me. If it weren't for my master, my grandmother and I would have died in that famine. He also taught me Chinese medicine, which gave me a foundation for life."

Song Ning looked at Jing Xian in shock.

"You are better than me." Song Ning rarely admires someone, and Jing Xian is one of them.

"I'm not amazing, it's my grandmother who is amazing. She was a young widow who remarried with her son and suffered a lot. She never had a good day until her death. I really hate myself for not growing up earlier."

Jing Xian hated herself even more for not going back to the time when her grandmother was still alive.

If grandma hadn't died, she would definitely have made her live a long life.

When the time comes, she will take her grandmother to get married. Even if she has a child now, she doesn't have to worry about having no one to help take care of the child.

Jing Xian felt her eyes getting a little hot. She blinked quickly and said with a smile, "Okay, that's enough of that. Let me talk about you. I heard you went on a blind date this time when you went back?"

"Oh, I get angry just talking about this!" Song Ning rolled up his sleeves, then put them down again, thinking it was not nice. "My mom is really stupid. She introduced all kinds of weirdos to me. I rejected them, and she scolded me when I got home."

"How could the person your mother introduced to you be bad?" Jing Xian felt that Song Ning's mother shouldn't be so confused.

"My aunt is the introducer, what do you think?"

Song Ning really didn't want to tell Jing Xian about their family's troubles.

But she couldn't help it.

She endured it again and again, sitting on the bench, and said angrily: "I tell you, my aunt is really the best. Do you know how good she is? When I was a child, I washed my skirt and put it in the yard to dry. When she came over, she saw the skirt and said, 'Oh, this skirt is so beautiful. Your cousin Wenwen will definitely look better in it.' Screw her! Han Xiaowen is four years older than me. How can she wear my clothes?"

“It’s really outrageous.”

Jing Xian didn't quite understand what the point of taking advantage of this was.

Song Ning explained her doubts: "Once I went to my grandmother's house, and a group of children were playing in the courtyard. I saw a little girl about my age wearing my skirt. When I asked, I found out that the little girl was from a very important family. You said my aunt is really a big idiot! Her head is full of straw. Didn't she think about what would happen if I got angry? Wouldn't she be embarrassed? She gave me a skirt that I had worn twice as a gift. Do you think she is sick?"

"Is your uncle okay now?" Jing Xian asked sincerely.

This time it was Song Ning's turn to remain silent.

Song Ning sighed: "My uncle was sent to work as a boiler man."

“…”

I understand. I understand very much.

Jing Xian was too tired to complain, after all, Song Ning's aunt-in-law was really the best.

After dinner, Jing Xian was worried that Xu Ning and Song Ning would not be safe on their way back, so she personally sent them back.

On the way back, she heard nothing more outrageous.

It seems that the last incident still had a great impact.

The entire farm is now managed very strictly.

It was a rare and comfortable night walk for her. Halfway through the walk, she saw a familiar figure standing at the intersection. She walked over with a smile and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I'm here to pick you up." Shang Nanchen let her sit on the bicycle and took her home.

"I thought you weren't coming back today."

"Where would I go if I didn't come back? I still want to have a daughter with you, how could I not come back?"

Is it impossible to get over the issue of having a daughter?

"I haven't made the medicine yet. I'll tell you when I make it."

Jingxian got angry, and the consequences were serious.

Shang Nanchen was just teasing her and didn't really plan to have a child right now. When to have a child depends entirely on Jing Xian's wishes. As a result, he accidentally made her angry.

I happened to run into someone on the road and greeted Shang Nanchen: "You just got back?"

"Um."

After riding past, the topic was over.

Shang Nanchen wanted to say something, but the atmosphere was not right.

When he got home, he diligently poured bath water for Jingxian and provided very thoughtful service.

"It's a bit cold to take a bath in this in winter. This winter, I asked them to make a bath tub, so it won't be cold when you sit in it and take a bath." Shang Nanchen took the towel and put it on the stool next to him without leaving.

Jing Xian glanced at him before he entered the house.

I really don't want to say anything about him, his performance is just too obvious.

She couldn't pretend that she didn't see what he was thinking.

The two of them lay on the kang.

Shang Nanchen came over and hugged her, whispering, "Is it really not possible?"

This person is really annoying.

Why does he have to ask? Asking is definitely not the right thing to do.

"sleep."

Jing Xian turned over and faced away from him.

Shang Nanchen has never compromised so much with anyone in his life.

She was the first.

You can’t touch it, but you can always hold it while sleeping.

Shang Nanchen was tired after a day of work. He returned home, hugged his wife, and smelled the faint fragrance of her body. He felt that this was the safest and warmest place in the world.

In a few moments, he fell asleep.

Jing Xian listened to the even breathing and was speechless for a moment.

Soon, she fell asleep too.

The next day.

She opened her eyes and saw that Shang Nanchen did not go to the army.

While the weather is good, I washed all the sheets and quilt covers at home.

"Why don't you use hot water?" Jing Xian poured water into the cold stove and added two pieces of firewood. "It's just two pieces of firewood. It will be a pot of hot water in a few minutes. The weather is hot now, and the water heats up quickly. Don't try to save trouble. You will suffer from the pain in your finger joints when you are old."

Shang Nanchen swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

It’s right to listen to your wife.

"Don't you have to go to the army today?" Jing Xian asked him.

Shang Nanchen nodded: "Well, I'm on vacation these few days. Don't you have to go to work?"

Jing Xian looked at Shang Nanchen in surprise, thinking it was a bit too coincidental.

"I don't have to go to work today either."

"Then how about a few children going to school?" Shang Nanchen suddenly said.

I don’t know if it was Jing Xian’s illusion, but she seemed to see light in Shang Nanchen’s eyes.

Jing Xian blushed a little when she thought of what happened last time. She lowered her voice and reminded him cryptically, "I'm very busy today and have a lot of things to do."

"I'll do it with you." Shang Nanchen said quickly.

Jing Xian: “…”

That's not what she meant.

"I'm going to cook."

Jing Xian just turned around, Shang Nanchen said: "I'll cook.

Millet porridge, hot steamed buns, and leftovers are all good to eat once they are heated up."

"The eggplants are ready to eat. Let me see how many I can pick and steam them. They cook quickly. Put them in the pot and they'll be cooked in a while." Jing Xian went to pick the eggplants without waiting for Shang Nanchen to speak.

After several days of unremitting efforts, Jing Xian produced a lot of eggplants.

The eggplant vines had not yet grown into eggplant trees, but they were full of vitality, with small flowers blooming and small green eggplants hanging on them, which was pleasing to the eye. Jing Xian secretly rubbed some of them to stimulate growth and picked a few eggplants that looked big but were actually very tender.

She made garlic eggplant by steaming the whole eggplant directly in the pot.

When it was served, the children all loved it. Even though the garlic was a bit spicy, they still enjoyed eating it.

When the children went to school, Shang Nanchen strolled over to the eggplant vines and saw a lot of eggplants. He turned around and asked Jing Xian, "Can we eat this eggplant now? If we don't eat it, it will become old in a few days, right?"

Jing Xian looked at the smaller eggplants that she had deliberately grown last night, pointed to the other side and said silently, "Go over there and take a look. I remember there are a few big ones there. They should be ready to eat today."

"Really? I'll go check it out."

Shang Nanchen wasn't just talking, he really walked over to take a look.

Jing Xian: “…”

Why did she think this man was reliable at first?

You must be blind!

Jing Xian looked at the cucumbers and persimmons and thought that she could give birth to another wave. Unfortunately, Shang Nanchen was watching here, so Jing Xian didn't dare to take the risk.

Never challenge a soldier's professionalism.

Otherwise, you won’t even know how you died.

"The clothes are almost done soaking. I'll wash them now." Shang Nanchen took out the big basin he usually used for bathing, placed it aside, filled it with clean water, and put the clothes in after washing one by one.

There are also bed sheets and quilt covers, which are also a big project.

Jing Xian thought about making medicine, so she started to get busy.

The couple, one was sitting under the window watching the stove, while the other was washing clothes by the well.

Ma Shufen came in and saw Shang Nanchen washing clothes and was stunned.

"Why is Captain Shang doing laundry?" Ma Shufen said in a loud voice. "We should really ask our old Zhang to come over. I've been married to him for so many years. He won't even help if a soy sauce bottle falls over, let alone doing laundry. He has to invite us over and over again when we have a meal, and he'll spend a lot of time explaining whether the food is salty or bland. Jingxian, you're really impressed to find a captain like you who cares about me."

Jing Xian opened her mouth and swallowed back what she was about to say.

She was actually surprised at first.

I didn't expect Shang Nanchen to help with housework. In fact, from all aspects before, it can be seen that Shang Nanchen is different from other men.

"Sister-in-law, what's the matter?" Jing Xian asked with a smile.

Ma Shufen took out a red box mysteriously and handed it to Jingxian: "This is a good thing. You are a doctor and you should know. You can soak it in wine or make it into something else for your head of the business group to eat. I guarantee you will get pregnant soon."
