Chapter 77 It’s a Small World
Xu Zhiyi, who was at the door, soon heard Duan Ying calling her from inside, and she pushed the door open and walked in.
"Zhiyi, please take the patient out for a while. I want to talk to the patient's family."
Xu Zhiyi responded and helped Mrs. Lu out of the clinic.
Until the door was closed, Duan Ying looked at Lu Jinkun and spoke in a trembling voice.
"A-Kun, thank you."
Lu Jinkun had a blank expression on his face. "Don't get me wrong, I haven't forgiven you. I'm only doing this for my grandma."
Duan Ying nodded in understanding, "I know, this is already very good. As long as you can accept my kindness, it's fine."
Lu Jinkun clenched his jaw, his eyes coldly fixed on Duan Ying. "I'm warning you, take care of your family. You and them are not allowed to gossip about me in front of my grandmother."
"Ah Kun, don't worry. I've already made all the arrangements. Once I finish the things I'm doing, I'll take your grandma abroad for treatment. I'm sure she'll be cured."
Xu Zhiyi helped Old Lady Lu sit outside. Old Lady Lu knew Xu Zhiyi and asked her about Wen Sining out of curiosity.
"What about Si Ning? What has she been busy with recently?"
"Si Ning?" Xu Zhiyi looked at Old Lady Lu with a puzzled look on his face.
"That's your sister-in-law. Her name is Si Ning, right? She told me to call her Si Ning before."
Xu Zhiyi frowned, a look of confusion on his face.
Why did Xuanxuan ask Old Lady Lu to call her Si Ning?
Before Xu Zhiyi had time to take this doubt to heart, Old Lady Lu started talking to Xu Zhiyi about Duan Ying again.
"Xiaoying is my daughter-in-law. I came to Beijing this time just to see my son and daughter-in-law."
Xu Zhiyi had been inside just now and could roughly guess what it was, but when she heard it from Old Lady Lu, she was still shocked.
Because she remembered that the dean told her yesterday that her husband was a picky eater. Could it be that the dean’s husband was Mrs. Lu’s son?
However, she remembered that people in the village had said that only Lu Jinkun and Old Lady Lu were left in the Lu family.
Thinking of this, Xu Zhiyi widened her eyes slightly. She could roughly guess the relationship between them.
But she didn't say much, just listened patiently to what Old Lady Lu said without interrupting.
Wen Sining ran home as soon as she got out of school at noon. Yesterday she asked her sister-in-law to take over the order.
As soon as she got home, she started preparing lunch without stopping.
Xu Zhiyi bought the ingredients the night before. Fortunately, it was cold, so the food would not spoil easily.
Wen Sining planned to make Mapo Tofu, Shredded Pork with Fish Flavor, and Braised Chicken Legs, all of which were excellent dishes to go with rice. The only drawback was that they didn't require enough rice.
She started two big pots at the same time. The bigger the pots were, the more dishes she could cook.
Wen Sining glanced at the address left by her sister-in-law. Hey, what a coincidence, isn’t this the address of her brother’s army?
That was perfect. After she prepared the meal, she packed three portions, sent two to the army, and personally delivered one to her sister-in-law in the hospital.
After finishing the dishes, she took out three lunch boxes from the steamer and opened the lid. She scooped three spoonfuls of Mapo Tofu on the rice. The soup of Mapo Tofu quickly soaked into the rice, and the rice grains instantly became distinct and full of fresh fragrance.
The remaining fish-flavored shredded pork and braised chicken legs were packed in separate lunch boxes. Each person received a whole box of fish-flavored shredded pork and a large chicken leg. This lunch was both nutritious and delicious.
After finishing all that, Wen Sining quickly finished his lunch and went out with his lunch box.
She placed two lunch boxes at the gate.
"Comrade soldier, here's a box lunch delivered to the office building. There's a phone number on this note. Please help contact them. There's also a box lunch for Captain Wen Yunwen."
After delivering the lunch boxes, Wen Sining took the bus to the People's Hospital.
This time she finally knew where her sister-in-law worked, and as soon as she entered the hospital, she went straight to the door of the director's office.
As soon as she went up the stairs, she saw Xu Zhiyi and Old Lady Lu.
Wen Sining was very surprised: "Sister-in-law, Grandma Lu?"
When Old Lady Lu saw Wen Sining, her eyes curved and the smile lines at the corners of her eyes became more obvious.
"Ningning, I was just talking about you to your sister-in-law."
"Xuanxian, why are you here?" The moment he saw Wen Sining, a look of confusion appeared on Xu Zhiyi's face.
Wen Sining walked forward and picked up the things in her hand, "I'm here to bring you food."
Then she asked Mrs. Lu, "Grandma Lu, have you had lunch?"
Xu Zhiyi answered for her: "Not yet, the dean and Lu Jinkun are still inside."
Wen Sining didn't feel anything unusual, so she opened the bag in her hand.
"I packed a lot of food today. Grandma Lu, I'll get you lunch."
Old Mrs. Lu was embarrassed and wanted to refuse, but when Wen Sining opened the lid of the lunch box, a rich aroma floated in the air.
When she smelled the fragrance, Mrs. Lu's stomach started to growl.
Wen Sining divided the food into two portions and brought the lunch boxes to Old Mrs. Lu.
"Eat it, this is all made by me. Didn't grandma think about the food I cooked before?"
Looking at the delicious food in the lunch box, Mrs. Lu didn't hesitate this time and reached out to take the lunch box.
"Thank you, Ningning, the food you cooked is so delicious!"
Wen Sining's smile remained unchanged as she handed the lunch box to Xu Zhiyi, "Sister-in-law, you should eat quickly too."
"Okay, thank you, Xuanxuan." Xu Zhiyi did not refuse her kindness.
When the two were enjoying their meal at the door of the clinic, the door finally opened.
As soon as the door opened, the fragrance wafted into the clinic.
Duan Ying asked in confusion, "Is the cafeteria open for dinner yet? Why does the food smell so good today?"
"A-Kun, shall I take you and your grandma to the cafeteria for lunch?"
Lu Jinkun still ignored Duan Ying and strode out of the clinic.
As soon as I came out, I saw three people standing at the door of the clinic.
When Wen Sining saw Lu Jinkun, she didn't think much about it, until Duan Ying came out.
She looked at the face of the woman in front of her, and when it gradually overlapped with the face of the woman in the photo, Wen Sining was dumbfounded.
Duan Ying looked at the two people enjoying their meal outside the door. She smiled and asked Xu Zhiyi, "Zhiyi, is this your sister who can cook?"
Xu Zhiyi put down the lunch box in his hand, walked to Wen Sining, nodded and introduced her to Duan Ying.
"Dean, Yan Yan is my husband's sister."
Duan Ying suddenly realized, "It turned out to be my sister-in-law."
"Xuanxian, this is the director of our hospital." Xu Zhiyi introduced to Wen Sining.
"Hello, Aunt Dean, my name is Wen Yan."
"Wen Yan?" Duan Ying was stunned. She always felt that she had heard this name somewhere, but when the critical moment came, she couldn't remember it.
Wen Sining secretly glanced at Lu Jinkun's expression, and unexpectedly, this man was much calmer.
Have you figured this out?
He talked with his biological mother in there for so long without making any noise. It seemed that he had really thought it through.
Indeed, how can there be any overnight hatred between a mother and her son?
My daughter-in-law is the director of a hospital, so Grandma Lu’s illness should be curable, and Wen Sining can finally rest assured.
While eating, Old Mrs. Lu couldn't help but praise Wen Sining and introduced her to Duan Ying.
"Xiaoying, Ningning's cooking is so delicious. When I'm at home, she always brings me delicious food. She's a good kid."
Duan Ying didn't know whether today's lunch would suit Jiang Jishan's taste.
But just by smelling the fragrance and hearing Old Lady Lu's constant praise, Duan Ying instantly had an idea.
"Wen Yan, do you have anything to do now? I'd like to invite you to my house and help with cooking."
As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Jinkun's expression changed instantly, and he interrupted Duan Ying with a cold face.
"She's a human being, not your nanny. She has no obligation to cook for you!"
Duan Ying was stunned, but Wen Sining frowned.
She glared at Lu Jinkun. How dare he say that? In the village before, who was the one who asked her to come to the Lu family to cook every day?
Wen Sining didn't want to talk about him anymore.
She smiled at Duan Ying and said, "Dean, I have classes during the day, so I'm afraid I don't have time, but I can make dinner in the evening."
Duan Ying was alerted by her son's words. She said embarrassedly, "It was indeed too presumptuous of me to ask that question just now. You don't have to force it."
Wen Sining smiled and said, "No, I just want to discuss it with the dean. Lunch is indeed too rushed for me, but I can handle dinner. It's just that regarding the salary..."
She stopped there, and Duan Ying quickly smiled, "Don't worry, I will definitely not let you go short. I'll give you eighteen per month. What do you think?"
Just cooking one dinner and earning eighteen dollars a month, this job is definitely good!
She had deliberately brought up the salary issue just now to help Duan Ying let go of her guilt.
Studying and making money at the same time, for Wen Sining, life is becoming more and more promising, and she is very happy.
Duan Ying was going to take Old Lady Lu and the others home, and she asked Wen Sining to go along with them just to get familiar with the route.
Along the way, Wen Sining's mind was full of complicated interpersonal maps.
At noon, she sent the lunch box to the army, which means that Lu Jinkun's mother later found a husband who was a soldier!
So it is very likely that Lu Jinkun's mother also lives in the military family compound.
Sure enough, she followed them on and off the bus. When she saw the familiar family compound, she felt that the world was really small. After going around in circles, they were all in the same army.
However, although they lived in the same family compound, Duan Ying lived some distance away from Wen Sining.
Moreover, Wen Sining discovered that there were guards guarding the gate of the courtyard where Duan Ying lived!
No matter how dumb she was, she should have guessed that the dean's current husband held a very high official position!
As soon as they entered, the guards gave them a standard military salute.
Where had Old Lady Lu ever experienced such treatment? Seeing them salute, she also saluted in return.
As soon as she entered the room, Mrs. Lu looked around and finally asked Duan Ying, "Xiaoying, where is your and Xuchuan's room? Can you take me to see it?"
Duan Ying was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded: "Okay, Mom, please follow me."
Fortunately, yesterday, she asked her aunt to put away all the photos and other things at home.
Duan Ying helped Old Mrs. Lu up the stairs and walked towards the master bedroom on the second floor.
