Chapter 282 Extra Sea·Flowers Two
days later, Lin Shu invited Fan Meili, Tian Suzhen, Yao Juying and several other young people who had time to go hiking.
Ye Xu, Wei Ling and Xue Hanshan also went together. Director Wen brought his wife with him. There were more than 30 people in total.
In March, the new green layers of Xiangshan Mountain broke through the winter lushness. The dark mountains were dyed green, and the early spring flowers swayed in the wind. The infinite spring scenery spread out before people's eyes, making them reluctant to leave.
Everyone brought a sketchbook. After entering the mountain, some people sketched, some took photos, and some found a quiet place to sit cross-legged and meditate. There were also several people who found a place to start picnic in groups.
Everyone had a great time.
In the relaxed interaction, Lin Shu also understood the temperament and talents of many people, and made friends with those leaders and people with unique talents.
People with influence and great talents can be worth a hundred.
She discussed the matter of publishing a magazine with Wei Ling, Xue Hanshan, and Ye Xu.
"There are too few types of magazines on the market now, which cannot meet the needs of the majority of readers and friends. Let's discuss whether we can jointly establish a few magazines."
The movement has ended, and the shackles have been broken. People have entered a new era, and their thoughts are in urgent need of transformation, and they need new cultural and artistic content to nourish them.
If we still have those old-fashioned preaching model operas and dogmatic articles, they will definitely not meet the readers' reading tastes and will be eliminated by readers.
They need to create publications that are closer to readers' real lives and real emotions, not just macro-narratives or high-level and comprehensive ones.
At the same time, they need to guide readers in a subtle way while being close to life.
In every era, readers can only see what they are allowed to see, even in the era of developed networks, and even in capitalist countries that claim to be free and democratic.
This means that publishers shoulder a very important responsibility: what to show, what to guide, how to communicate with society through words, and how to use literary and artistic works to build bridges for all levels of society.
It cannot be completely open, nor can it be too restrictive. There is a degree that needs to be grasped.
This is the responsibility of the official propaganda department. The staff should go deep into the masses, come from the masses, and go to the masses. They should not be separated from the masses and be high above them. They should not know the sufferings of the people and the needs of the people. They should live in a constant temperature house and sneer at the farmers who are too stingy and reluctant to turn on the air conditioner, which leads to death from heat stroke.
People always decide their views with their buttocks.
They should protect whatever interest group they are in and oppose people and things that damage the interests of this group.
Lin Shu always reminds herself that she is a time traveler. She should respect historical facts and be based on life, rather than simply relying on the advantages of a prophet to make money. It
is enough to have enough wealth. No matter how much more wealth there is, it is just a number and will not positively increase her sense of happiness and honor.
She has no interest in being the richest or the most wealthy. She wants to make the most of her ability as a time traveler, first lead her small family to live a life of worry-free food and clothing, and after achieving this goal, benefit her relatives, friends and neighbors to the best of her ability. If she has spare energy, she will do bigger and more meaningful things.
Now that those basic wishes have been achieved, she and her family have no worries about food and clothing, and have a respected social status and identity, then she should give back to society.
As the saying goes, if you enjoy a high sense of value, you should take greater social responsibility.
The publication she wants to run is not just for writers to make up some contrived stories.
There should be multiple ways to tell stories. A father’s love for his son is not only shown by selling blood, and a mother’s love is not only shown by mending clothes under a kerosene lamp. A promising child should not only have a son but also a daughter. The love between a husband and wife should not be shown through the child’s recollection of the parents scolding and accepting everything!
Life is not only poverty and pain, but also happiness.
Happiness should not be regarded as original sin, and emotional needs should not be regarded as sins.
Today’s heroes are also empty.
Good cadres and heroes with flesh and blood are forcibly shaped into perfect people who are false and empty. They have no personal emotions, do not know pain or tiredness, and only have a label-like image, which makes readers dislike reading. Even if the school unit promotes it, everyone cannot empathize with it and only thinks it is fake.
She hopes to make a footnote to the official propaganda, enrich the heroes, and give them back their joys, sorrows, anger and happiness.
She explained her ideas in detail to a few people, and Wei Ling and others were very touched and responded immediately, and put forward their own suggestions and opinions.
After this day's rough collision, they had a preliminary concept and wanted to publish three styles of magazines.
One is rooted in the people, selecting stories from ordinary people, and it should be humorous and full of life philosophy, reflecting the fireworks of life with laughter, anger and scolding.
One is to praise heroes and lash out at ugliness. Those soldiers who sacrificed their lives, those dedicated cadres, and those ordinary people who made outstanding contributions, give everyone a platform to understand and admire them, and at the same time expose the ugly faces of some enemies, giving everyone a way to vent, which will make readers feel that the law is long and the bad guys will eventually be exposed, and justice will come, giving the public confidence and warning the bad guys.
One type is to give readers space for fantasy, write some romantic stories, fantasy stories, folk legends, etc.
Let different readers have space to place their emotions.
Even at the end of the magazine, there can be some interesting interactions, such as encouraging readers to write reading notes and submit articles, and also provide some knowledge questions and answers to motivate readers to learn privately.
At first, only Lin Shu and seven or eight others discussed the issue. Later, more than 30 people who came to collect folk songs came over to discuss.
Everyone hurriedly came up with names, such as "We Ordinary People", "Stories of the Common People", "Fireworks in the World", "The Red Dust", "Honor and Disgrace", "Glory and Warning Bell", "Emotional Stories", "Caring"...
Everyone discussed enthusiastically and drank up all the water they brought.
Lin Shu added at the right time, "We should also add one to open the readers' horizons, so that even if you can't go abroad, you can still understand the world's affairs, the World Expo."
There is no such publication in China now. If they can start it, it will be the first one.
In an era when scarcity makes things valuable, everyone is first-come-first-served. Whoever grabs the market first will be favored by the market.
There will be different public opinions in the future, and everyone will be more inclined to listen to the one they are exposed to first.
When this proposal was made, everyone was silent for a while.
It was not that they disagreed, they also thought this proposal was good, but none of them knew much about foreign countries.
Many of their ancestors and fathers had been to Western countries, but now?
To be honest, they had never been abroad and knew very little about those powerful countries.
Even if they have been abroad, they have been to Asia, but in fact, they all know that they want to know more about those powerful countries, the Western powers that will oppress their own countries.
Lin Shu encouraged them, "There will be a chance. Isn't the diplomatic environment starting to loosen now?"
After the table tennis diplomacy, the relationship between China and the United States has broken the ice, and they should formally establish diplomatic relations next year.
From then on, China will enter an era of rapid economic and cultural development.
If the spiritual development of the people cannot keep up with the development of science and technology, economy and culture, there will inevitably be great pain, which will make people painful and confused.
Especially young and passionate college students, they are most likely to be impulsive and most likely to be used by others to provoke trouble.
This is not a good thing for the country and the people.
The best way is to prevent trouble before it happens and kill the enemy in the bud.
It’s just that the Chinese people cannot see this deep-seated problem now, and they can only realize this key ideological issue when they go back and review it.
The enthusiasm of everyone was instantly mobilized by Lin Shu, and everyone was excited, with the drive of their fathers to open up new horizons.
The setting sun was shining in the evening, and Director Wen called everyone to come down the mountain, but everyone was still not satisfied.
Ye Xu walked on the left side of Lin Shu and said softly: "Let's discuss the charter among ourselves first. Then I'll make an appointment with some friends from the agency and let's talk in detail?"
Lin Shu happily said: "Okay."
After walking for a while, Ye Xu said: "That painting..." He wanted to tell Lin Shu that he didn't want to sell it, and could she persuade Lu Shaotang not to force others to make things difficult for him.
It's just a little hard to talk about.
Originally, he was in charge of the matter. If the person painting was someone else, the other person's husband would definitely ignore it if he came to ask for it.
As we all know, painters will hire many models for their creations, some of whom are paid, and some of whom are helped by friends.
In the association, it is assumed that friends help each other.
There were many people in the Artists Association that day, and everyone painted each other's paintings. Others also painted Lin Shu.
But he felt guilty because he was indeed attracted to her at that moment and... admired her.
I'm afraid Lu Shaotang saw this, so he spoke.
Phyllis felt like someone had taken away her love, and it was hard to let go.
He regretted exhibiting the painting in the first place. What was he thinking at that time?
He obviously didn't want to display it at first, so why did he take it out later.
He asked himself, was he trying to test something?
Lin Shu only praised him and his paintings, saying that he was an excellent writer who would be famous both at home and abroad in a few years. She also joked that if she bought more of his works now, she could make a lot of money in the future.
Other than that, there was no disturbance.
He should have withdrawn earlier and should not have waited for Lu Shaotang to come.
Lin Shu noticed that Ye Xu was hesitant to speak and asked, "What's wrong?"
Just as Ye Xu was about to speak, he saw a figure standing halfway up the mountain in front of him. He was wearing an olive green military uniform. He had changed his usual upright posture and was now leaning against a large rock, with a lazy and casual posture. His usually stern face actually showed a bit of tenderness among the mountain flowers and green trees.
Ye Xu swallowed his words and smiled, "Nothing."
Lin Shu had seen Lu Shaotang before, but since Ye Xu wanted to talk to her, she suppressed her excitement to go find him.
Now everyone saw him and greeted him, "Director Lu, why did you come just now?"
Lu Shaotang smiled lightly and nodded to everyone, "I'm really busy and can't spare a whole day to go outing and appreciate the flowers."
He naturally and casually held Lin Shu's hand, not caring about other people's eyes.
Lin Shu smiled and said, "Didn't you say you wouldn't come? Why are you here again?"
Lu Shaotang lowered his eyes to look at her and said softly, "I'm here to take you home."
Lin Shu smiled.
Tian Suzhen and Yao Jufang laughed. They were older and not afraid of Lu Shaotang, and they teased him.
"Shaotang, are you afraid that someone will kidnap your wife or what?"
Ye Xu looked up at Lu Shaotang, and saw that he tilted his head slightly, his eyes seemed to be looking at Lin Shu, and he seemed to glance back.
His facial features were three-dimensional and deep, and his nose was high. From this angle, he was flawlessly handsome.
It was enough to make other men feel ashamed.
Ye Xu retracted his gaze.
Xue Hanshan turned his head to look at Ye Xu.
Wei Ling kicked Xue Hanshan rudely. There was something wrong with this man.
Ye Xu subconsciously slowed down his pace and fell behind. Lin Shu's crisp laughter came from below.
He looked up. The sun was shining today. Her happy smile was more brilliant than the mountain flowers, dazzling and dazzling. There was no longer any sadness in the autumn scenery that year.
The person she loved was by her side.
Ye Xu sighed silently.
Today, he did not pick up his brush during the outing. He knew that only at that time of that year could he see her, understand her, and paint her.
After that, it would never be enough.
Even if the brushstrokes were exactly the same, even if the looks were exactly the same, it would not matter.
He stood on a high place and watched them. The setting sun shone everywhere, and there were handsome men and beautiful women, and the spring scenery was gorgeous, as if a picture of a prosperous era was slowly unfolding.
But he felt a kind of sadness that belonged to him alone was spreading.
After returning from Xiangshan, Ye Xu stayed indoors. He began to paint without sleep, his spirits were high and his thoughts were flying.
A week later, the work was completed, and the speed was unprecedentedly fast.
Xue Hanshan, who came to care about him, stood in front of the new painting in silence, unable to say anything to comfort him, and only nodded, "Nice painting."
In terms of painting, Xue Hanshan admitted that Ye Xu was a genius, far superior to him, and he felt inferior.
The painting in front of him made Xue Hanshan understand Ye Xu's state of mind.
In the Xiangshan Mountain, where the setting sun was shining, the new green and spring flowers were all covered with a layer of golden red. Lu Shaotang and Lin Shu walked on the stone steps in the mountains. The two looked into each other's eyes. She smiled sweetly, and he was cold with a tenderness that belonged to her.
In the evening, the sun cut through the mountains and forests, creating a mysterious scene of yin and yang cutting the dusk.
In the second half of the painting, the light was dim, and Ye Xu stood there.
He is in a high place, but his heart is in the dust.
Half is bright and half is dark.
The interweaving of light and shadow is a secret love that he gave up without knowing it and without control.
She doesn't understand this, but her husband sees through him.
At this moment, he is willing to bury all his worries and let it go.
They are still friends.
Xue Hanshan was silent. If there were only handsome men and beautiful women, this would be an ordinary painting, but with the second half of the interweaving of light and shadow, and the heartbroken and frustrated man, this is a classic work.
Ye Xu was silent for a moment, picked up the paper cutter, and said to Xue Hanshan: "This is for Lu Shaotang."
He wants to take her home.
He will make it happen for them.
Xue Hanshan was stunned: "For Lu Shaotang?"
Like this? If he
gave it to Lu Shaotang like this, he would be silenced, right?
He was really afraid that Ye Xu would commit suicide, so he saw Ye Xu raised his knife and cut at the junction of light and darkness.
The painting was cut in half.
Xue Hanshan breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Xu asked Xue Hanshan to help frame the painting, and then find a frame with matching color to put it in, and gave it to Lu Shaotang together with the painting "The Sea". Xue Hanshan
: "What is this painting called? "Going Home?"
Ye Xu: "Flowers"
He could see the flowers in their hearts blooming.
The next day, Ye Xu showered and shaved, changed into neat clothes, and then called Lu Shaotang to meet him at the art museum in the afternoon.
Lu Shaotang arrived as scheduled.
Ye Xu was admiring two paintings on the wall, one "The Sea" and the other "Flowers".
These two paintings put together have a profound meaning and are a happy story.
When Lu Shaotang saw the new painting, his pupils shrank slightly. He was very sensitive to notice that the painting had been cut. Although there was no crack left, the light in the upper and lower corners of the right side of the painting was wrong. There was a bright area missing on the top and a dark area missing on the bottom.
But he didn't ask.
Ye Xu smiled at him and said, "Director Lu, both paintings are given to you."
Since they must be returned, it is better to make them more beautiful.
After all, he didn't want to be an enemy of Lu Shaotang, and he didn't want to be friends with Lin Shumei.
Lu Shaotang did not refuse, "Thank you, I'll say the same thing again, you name the price."
Ye Xu shook his head, "Your feelings are priceless, as a friend I sincerely wish you this, this is a gift."
Lu Shaotang did not pretend, "Since we are friends, please ask me if you have anything in the future."
Ye Xu's face was moved, and he put aside his own thoughts. He found that Lu Shaotang was an upright man.
He silently thanked the other party for his generosity.
When Lin Shu returned home from the military propaganda office, she saw Lu Shaotang hanging two paintings.
These two paintings were not small, and it was not appropriate to hang them in the bedroom. Lu Shaotang hung them on the west wall of the living room, which was open.
She looked at the two paintings and was surprised: "Did you buy them? Is this new one painted by Ye Xu?"
Oh, Lu Shaotang really doesn't know how to do business. Why did you buy these two paintings? When Ye Xu becomes famous, can you sell them for money?
It's better to buy something else so that you don't have to pay when you sell them in the future.
Lu Shaotang hung up the paintings, got down from the stool, stood next to Lin Shu and admired them. Hmm, they are very good.
He whispered: "Ye Xu didn't ask for money, so I owe him a favor."
They will donate the paintings to the art museum a hundred years later.
Lin Shu crossed her arms and touched her chin, "Hmm..."
Lu Shaotang heard her voice was a little deep, and his heart tightened, "Why?"
Lin Shu: "I think you are a fairy."
Lu Shaotang: ...How did you come to this conclusion?
Lin Shu pointed at the painting and said, "Look, the woman went up the mountain by herself, holding up a leaf with a heart, summoned a male fairy, and then the two of them returned home happily. Hahahahahaha..."
Lu Shaotang's slightly tense heart relaxed, and he stretched out his arm to pick her up.
Lin Shu exclaimed, "Lu Shaotang, be quiet in broad daylight."
Lu Shaotang said in a low voice, "You asked the fairy to be quiet?"
Lin Shu: "The child is back."
Lu Shaotang pushed her against the cabinet and kissed her, "No one can do it."
~~~~
After kissing for a while, Panpan's voice came closer, "Mom, mom, my fucking mom is here!"
Soon Panpan ran back home sweetly from outside.
Lu Shaotang put Lin Shu down calmly, wiped the corners of her lips, and tidied her hair and collar.
Lin Shu walked out quickly, "Are you home yet?"
Tiantian: "Mom, don't worry, my godfather went to the station to pick us up, it's still early."
Lin Shu: "Then let's cook quickly to welcome your godmother."
Panpan: "Mom, I want to eat boiled fish, spicy."
He knew that there was a big fish pond in the navy compound next door, and they were good at raising fish, so he could go get some fish.
Lin Shu smiled and pinched his cheek, "Your godmother is pregnant, she can't eat spicy food, it will make her angry."
The two children saw Lu Shaotang in the room and shouted: "Dad, when did you come back?"
Lu Shaotang put on his military jacket and walked out while buttoning it. He had taken off his jacket just now to hang a painting, and was only wearing a white shirt.
He pulled down his shirt sleeves and buttoned them at his thin and strong wrists, "Let's go fishing."
When they heard that their father was going to take them fishing, the two children were instantly excited.
Panpan went to carry the bucket, and Tiantian went to get their fishing net.
This was made by their godfather.
Lin Shu hurriedly reminded them, "Be careful not to get your clothes wet. It's still cold. Be careful not to catch a cold."
The capital's March sunshine is warm, but the river water is cold. If you get wet and the wind blows on your clothes, you will definitely catch a cold.
"Mom, I got it." The two children agreed and ran after Lu Shaotang.
Lin Shu prepared the ingredients at home. When they came, they brought a pot of pickled cabbage, a pot of kimchi, and a pot of spicy cabbage, which were just right for eating now.
Forget about the spicy fish, but the pickled fish can still be made. Zhan Qiuran especially likes to eat pickled fish.
The ginger at home was used up, so Lin Shu went to the neighbor's house nearby to ask for a big piece.
When she came back, she went to Chen Yanming's house next door and helped clean up the house.
The military region arranged orderly soldiers for Lu Shaotang and Chen Yanming, but the two of them had no habit of using orderly soldiers, and they still don't use them now.
Xiaozhuang wanted to come over to serve as a waiter for the two of them, running errands, doing housework, and picking up and dropping off the children to prevent Panpan and Tiantian from being bullied.
Naturally, he was scolded by Lu Shaotang.
In Lu Shaotang's view, living here means no worries about food and drink, no need to farm or grind, and no heavy housework, which he can do in his spare time.
Lin Shu likes to cook, so he helps wash the dishes whenever he is at home. In addition, the children wash their own clothes, and he is responsible for washing his and Lin Shu's clothes. Why does he need a waiter?
However, Chen Yanming is very busy during this period. Sometimes he does not come back at night and goes to the agency compound to squeeze into the dormitory with the team members, so he has no time to take care of the house.
Even though Lin Shu had a slight cleanliness fetish, she didn't have to worry about dirt and mess in the military's home. Everyone was good at housekeeping. At most, there would be a lot of dust if no one lived there for a few days, and she needed to sweep the floor and wipe the furniture.
Lin Shu was busy, and Tian Suzhen took Yao Jufang to help.
"I heard that Xiao Zhan is a very good surgeon?"
Lin Shu smiled and said, "Yes, he is very outstanding among young doctors."
Although they lived in the military area and went to the military hospital when they were sick, the doctors and nurses were not lazy, but everyone habitually thought that acquaintances were more attentive, and Tian Suzhen was no exception.
After helping with the sanitation, Tian Suzhen was also satisfied.
Lin Shu agreed. If they needed anything in the future, she would definitely tell Dr. Zhan and let him arrange it.
Soon, several families that were on good terms with Lin Shu knew that Chen Yanming's wife was coming, and they all came to send food, including eggs, meat, snacks, meat sauce and so on.
Lin Shu thanked them one by one, and silently took note of who they were so that she could return the gifts in the future.
When Tian Suzhen heard that Lin Shu was going to make pickled fish, she pulled Yao Jufang over to help and took the opportunity to learn the skills.
They all ate in the cafeteria and rarely opened their own businesses. The men and children would inevitably complain sometimes, and Tian Suzhen wanted to learn from Lin Shu to shock them with her hands.
Lin Shu was telling them some daily cooking tips at home, when Lu Shaotang and Panpan Tiantian came back with buckets containing five large fish weighing several kilograms.
Tian Suzhen was amazed, "Shaotang is amazing, he was able to get fish from the Navy Academy. You don't know, their logistics chief is really good."
Each academy has its own sideline businesses, mainly to supplement the food in the canteen. For example, the Army Academy raises pigs, the Air Force Academy raises chickens, ducks and pigs, and the Navy Academy raises a lot of fish, and often distributes sea fish.
At first, everyone was still exchanging what they had. Several families went to the Navy Yard to exchange fish for food, or when the Navy Yard shared fish, each ward would buy some to improve the taste.
Later, I don’t know why their logistics chief became more and more stingy, and no one exchanged, and he didn’t give any face. The
people in charge of logistics in other wards would not report this matter to their own leaders and ask them to go to other leaders, right?
Panpan Tiantian greeted the aunt politely.
Panpan: "They are so enthusiastic. They want to catch a few fish for us. My father said that we don't need that many, just a few."
Yao Jufang: "Then there will definitely be a time when Shaotang will be useful. Lao Jiaoer is a smart person."
Lu Shaotang's unit is special and has work contacts with various units. How many of the dozen or so compounds here don't owe him a favor?
Lin Shu saw that the fish were big enough, and there were five of them, so she asked Lu Shaotang to handle them all. She simply cooked all of them and gave a bowl to the good people.
In other words, it was given to the few people who were on good terms with him, such as the old leaders, because there was still a leader Yuan in between, so there was no need to make friends with them.
Tian Suzhen was happy and volunteered, "I know how to kill fish, I'll help clean up."
Because it was a bungalow, there was a big pot at home, so even if there were a lot of fish, they could all be cooked in one pot.
Yao Jufang helped to light the fire, Tian Suzhen helped to cut the vegetables, and Lin Shu was in charge of cooking.
When Chen Yanming brought Zhan Qiuran back, the pickled fish was ready.
The jeep drove in from the straight Metasequoia Avenue, and the aroma of pickled fish could be smelled when entering the family compound.
Zhan Qiuran's face was a little pale. She didn't expect that she, who had always been strong and healthy, would be so delicate when she was pregnant. She vomited everything she ate, and the train ride was even more painful.
She was used to being strong, so naturally she didn't want to complain to others, nor did she want to make others worry.
In fact, she felt uncomfortable when she found out she was pregnant after Chen Yanming went to Beijing. She had severe morning sickness, and her work was heavy and tiring. Chen Yanming was not around. She was fine during the day, but at night she would fall into a vortex of discomfort and feel fragile.
She didn't like to trouble others since she was a child. No matter her parents or colleagues, she would handle things by herself first.
She originally wanted to take a leave to rest, but the hospital was short of staff and the leaders did not approve the leave and did not want to let her go to Beijing. They always wanted to keep her in the hospital and transfer Chen Yanming back to Qizhou to work.
It was Lu Shaotang who talked to the Qizhou Military Region, and the leaders negotiated with the hospital director, and the director had to let her go.
In fact, she told her parents that they would also take leave to take care of her, but she... didn't want to trouble them.
She asked a gynecologist, who said that there was no medicine to cure pregnancy reactions, and that the symptoms would generally subside if she endured for three months. Since everyone was doing the same, she could only endure it.
She was not physically fit for this trip to Beijing, and fortunately Lu Shaotang had someone arrange a high-class berth for her, so she could lie down all the way in a daze.
The always strong and independent person had red eyes when she saw Chen Yanming after dragging her luggage off the train.
She couldn't help but burst into tears in his arms. Chen Yanming was so scared by her crying that he thought she was bullied on the train and wanted to take her on board to find the conductor immediately.
When she said that she was feeling uncomfortable due to the pregnancy reaction, Chen Yanming felt so distressed.
He should have gone to pick her up, or even if he couldn't go, he should have asked someone to take her over instead of letting her drag her uncomfortable body and carry her luggage on the long train journey.
Chen Yanming drove very slowly and steadily along the way, fearing that the car would bump her up. Even so, she got out of the car and vomited once.
The corners of her eyes were red, her face was full of frustration, and her voice was a little hoarse. "Am I too coquettish?"
She hated herself like this.
She was obviously not like this before.
Since she was a child, her parents said that she was independent and sensible, and her parents didn't need to worry about anything.
When she was a child, her parents were busy with work, and she could go to school and go home by herself with a key hanging on the door at the age of five or six. When she was a little older, she could cook for her parents at home.
Later, her younger sister was born. Her parents were busy with work and had no time to take care of the children. There was no elderly person to help take care of her, so most of the time she went to school and took care of her younger sister at the same time.
Even so, her grades were always the best in the school. Later, she was admitted to Capital Medical University and was favored by her teachers.
She was clearly a strong and independent person. She didn't feel weak in the legs or tremble in the first operation on the operating table. The teacher praised her as a natural surgeon.
Why is she so weak and timid now?
She traced the source and felt that she became timid after being with Chen Yanming.
Why did she become... more and more timid after being with Chen Yanming?
He was too used to her.
Because he was busy with work and couldn't accompany her every day, he always felt that he owed her. Whenever he was around, he wanted to raise her like a child.
He would urge her to sleep in and say that sleeping in is good for beauty. He not only bought her breakfast, but also fetched water for her to wash, and even squeezed toothpaste for her.
Not to mention cleaning the house and doing laundry.
Chen Yanming held her hand from time to time along the way, touched her forehead, and was very worried. In his eyes, Zhan Qiuran was always strong. Unless she was in great pain, she would endure it.
She was a doctor, and sometimes she would endure it and solve the patient's problem first even if she was sick.
An operation could take a few hours at the lightest, sometimes more than ten hours, or even a whole day and night. She forced her healthy body to have a urinary tract infection.
Although he felt sorry for her, he also knew that they had chosen such a career and would not give up easily.
He would not say that he made a lot of money to support her, so he let her not go to work and take care of the children at home.
She liked to go to work, he respected her, and he also liked the way she was a doctor.
When they arrived at the gate of the hospital, Chen Yanming breathed a sigh of relief. They were finally there.
Panpan and Tiantian came over, "Godmother, you are finally here!"
Zhan Qiuran cheered up and greeted the children.
The two children also studied medicine with Doctor Shao and Father Lu, and they could tell at a glance that something was wrong with their godmother.
Tiantian: "Godfather, hurry up and pick up my godmother."
Zhan Qiuran was embarrassed at first. Why was she so coquettish? If she let Chen Yanming pick her up as soon as she arrived at the family compound, who knows what others would say.
Chen Yanming followed suit and let Zhan Qiuran pick her up.
Panpan: "Godfather, here, here, my mother has prepared dinner."
Chen Yanming took Zhan Qiuran to Lin Shu's house.
Lin Shu cooked the hot and boiling pickled fish. She also gave a portion to Tian Suzhen, Yao Jufang, Fan Meili and others, and asked them to help deliver it.
Seeing Zhan Qiuran being carried in by Chen Yanming, Lin Shu asked with concern: "Qiuran, is this a serious morning sickness?"
Zhan Qiuran only said on the phone that she was pregnant. Lin Shu asked if the reaction was serious, and she said it was okay. It seems that she only reported good news and not worries.
Lin Shu asked Chen Yanming to carry Zhan Qiuran to the guest room to rest.
Zhan Qiuran had been lying in the train berth all the way, and his bones were about to fall apart. He was not sleepy, but just uncomfortable and weak. Now he smelled the spicy pickled fish. For some reason, he didn't feel sick at all, but felt very hungry.
She patted Chen Yanming, "I'm hungry, I want to eat pickled fish."
Lin Shu helped her sit down, "Don't you feel sick when you smell the fish?"
When Lu Shaotang and Tian Suzhen killed fish before, Lin Shu took into account that Zhan Qiuran was pregnant and was afraid that the smell would overwhelm her, so she specially asked them to go out to kill fish.
There was no fishy smell in the house, only the aroma of pickled fish.
Zhan Qiuran shook his head, his eyes brightened a little, "No, I feel sick, I want to eat it."
Panpan Tiantian had already brought a basin diligently for the godmother to wash her hands and face, taking care of her so thoughtfully.
Soon, Lu Shaotang also came back from outside, carrying a roast chicken, which was sent by Battalion Commander Tu.
Zhan Qiuran, who originally felt sick and lifeless, suddenly felt alive while eating pickled fish.
She said embarrassedly: "You guys, am I... greedy?"
Since Lin Shu left, she has not been able to eat such a satisfying meal.
Lin Shu smiled and said: "If you are greedy, eat more. From now on, you just need to take good care of yourself. I will make delicious food for you every day." Tiantian
took the initiative to ask for a massage, "Mom, I can give you a massage."
Panpan: "Don't you have a godfather for massage?"
Everyone laughed.
Zhan Qiuran was a little embarrassed and felt that she was completely alive.
Chen Yanming finally breathed a sigh of relief. If his wife felt so uncomfortable throughout the pregnancy, he would really regret not using contraception on the day he left.
The meal lasted for two hours while they chatted. It was already dark when they finished. After a rest, Chen Yanming took Zhan Qiuran back to sleep.
Lin Shu and Lu Shaotang brought the children to help carry the luggage over.
They asked Zhan Qiuran to have a good rest.
Tiantian: "Godmother, you should go to bed early at night, otherwise you will be woken up in the morning. It took my mother several days to adjust."
Lin Shu: "..." Girl, just remind godmother if you want to, why are you using mother as a negative example.
Chen Yanming sent them out, and Lin Shu reminded them: "Call me if you have anything."
Panpan: "Godfather, don't send me off, go back and take care of my godmother."
After leaving the yard, Lu Shaotang helped them put the movable bolt on the gate.
The security level in the military compound was very high. Many families never locked their doors at night, so thieves would never dare to come.
Chen Yanming returned to the house and saw four hot pots on the dining table in the living room. He tried them and found they were all full. They must have been sent by Lao Lu.
He poured a cup of warm water and saw honey on the table. Knowing that it was sent by Lin Shu, he made a cup of honey water and handed it to Zhan Qiuran.
He sat on the bed and half-huggled her, looking at her with heartache, "Ranran, are you feeling better?"
Zhan Qiuran drank a few sips of honey water and felt comfortable all over. She seemed like a different person from when she got off the train.
She smiled and said, "Much better. I might just be greedy."
Chen Yanming went to get her some water and some clean clothes.
Zhan Qiuran simply washed herself and changed into clean underwear. Chen Yanming brought her a basin of hot water to soak her feet.
Chen Yanming: "Tiantian gave me a list. It's all about precautions for pregnant women. The child is still young and knows more and more."
Zhan Qiuran took the paper over to take a look while soaking her feet.
Chen Yanming squatted on the ground and washed her feet.
Zhan Qiuran exclaimed with a blushing face, "Why do you need to wash my feet? I can wash them myself."
But Chen Yanming insisted on washing them for her.
He felt that he was a rough man. He was not loved by his parents and no one taught him how to take care of others. After he got together with his girlfriend, he was afraid that he could not do well, so he followed Lu Shaotang and Lin Shu to learn.
He smiled and said, "Old Lu washes his wife's feet. Can I do worse than him? That's not possible. We must follow the captain."
He said it with confidence.
A man in his thirties is still childish.
Yes, childish.
Zhan Qiuran always felt that the men in their No. 8 Courtyard were all childish, even those who were not young were more simple than others.
It was this kind of man who held her in his palm and made her coquettish.
Zhan Qiuran laughed, "Don't tell anyone, people will laugh at you."
Chen Yanming imitated Lu Shaotang's cold expression and said indifferently, "Old Lu said that they should all be considered jealous."
Zhan Qiuran couldn't help laughing any longer and fell on the bed. The fragility she had felt due to pregnancy reactions disappeared.
I felt full of strength and could go back to work tomorrow.
