Yang Qing's transfer happened silently. For Wang Ying, it was just one less person who was always causing trouble in the office.
But Jiang Lin was very unhappy. She had been holding back her desire to slap Yang Qing in the face.
When Yang Qing left, she didn't say goodbye to the people in the infirmary. She just packed up her things and left without saying a word to save face.
Zhang Na came to see Wang Ying and cautiously gossiped with her: "Doctor Yang looked very unhappy. I heard that Yang Qing and her had a falling out."
Yang Qing was determined to find a good partner, so naturally she didn't take her aunt's words to heart.
However, Zhang Na patted her chest and said with lingering fear: "It's good that she left, otherwise I would always be thinking about what she said about me and that Zhao Jun who defended Ken."
It was because Yang Qing spread a rumor that Zhang Na kept her distance from her for such a long time.
As for Jiang Lin, she no longer had any estrangement from Wang Ying because of her brother being kidnapped by kidnappers.
Among several young women in the office, Yang Qing was the only one left alone.
Wang Ying thought about it and said, "Everyone has their own aspirations. It's good that she doesn't want to be a nurse anymore."
Although Zhang Na seems to be careless at ordinary times, she is much better than Yang Qing in professional ability. Although Yang Qing has the title of nurse, her level is a bit low.
Zhang Na: "My mom said the same thing!"
Anyway, Yang Qing is gone, and except for Doctor Yang who is angry, all his colleagues are very happy.
Zhang Na teased Taotao who was lying on her private little bed: "Taotao is so cute. If I get married, I also want a daughter."
People who came to visit Wang Ying came and went, but Wang Ying was not disturbed and she finished her confinement period happily.
Children always grow up very fast. Wang Ying always feels that the last time she saw her daughter was just yesterday when she was a wrinkled red peach. But Taotao has already grown white rice-grain teeth and is taking her first toddler steps.
In the blink of an eye, Taotao, the little girl whose full name is Wang Mantao, is already two years old.
In 1976, everything was changing subtly for Wang Ying.
The first thing is that Cheng Shufen and Cheng Yu returned to the city.
In June, Wang Yingzheng brought Taotao and accompanied Old Lady Xu to the countryside for a wedding banquet. Wu Guihua's daughter Tian Xinghua, with her parents as witness, found a good young man in the commune to marry.
Wu Guihua finally felt relieved and started the meal happily. Life in the Seventh Brigade was better now and everyone was no longer quarreling over trifles like before.
Even Tian Youfu said that the people in the team have become easier to manage.
Wang Ying thought, isn't it easy to control? When we were all poor, we couldn't even fill our stomachs with those big words. Now that things are a bit more relaxed, we are naturally willing to maintain a good relationship.
Tian Xinghua's cheeks were rosy, and she was wearing a bright red dress that Wu Guihua asked Wang Ying to buy from the county. Her cheeks looked radiant.
Taotao, who is just two years old, speaks with a baby accent, but can express her opinions accurately.
"It looks great! Taotao wants to wear it too! Taotao also wants to be a bride!"
Wang Ying quickly went over and covered her mouth.
Xu Shuang, who was talking to someone nearby, lowered his eyes, and Wang Ying knew that this person was unhappy.
Is it that serious? Ever since her daughter learned to speak, whenever Xu Shuang mentioned that she wanted to get married in the future, she would look like she was going to stab someone. It was too outrageous.
Taotao's eyes rolled and she twisted her legs to hug Xu Shuang's thighs.
"Dad is not angry. Taotao likes you the most as a bride!"
"Dad, your cooking is delicious!"
"Dad, pick me up..."
…
A group of people watched as Xu Shuang, who had a dry face, lost herself in her daughter's soft voice, and the corners of her mouth curved up.
This was the first time that Cheng Yu, who was already a grown-up girl, had seen such a scene: "This, this, this..."
Wang Ying pressed her finger down: "You haven't seen it before? Tell me, if it wasn't for the resemblance in face, who do you think this girl is from? Xu Shuang and I don't have this gene."
This is not just talk. Although her personality is more cheerful than Xu Shuang, it is also limited. Not to mention Xu Shuang, who would rather use one word than two when expressing her meaning outside.
It turned out that their daughter was such a clingy person that every time she spoke it was as if there was candy in her throat.
Old Mrs. Xu looked at him again and again, and finally realized: "Isn't this what your elder brother takes after? Xu Ming was like this when he was a child!"
Several old ladies who were on good terms with Old Lady Xu also chimed in: "That's right! He has the same personality as Xiao Ming when he was a child!"
"Do you remember when Xu Ming was a kid, he always wore open-crotch pants and squatted on the roadside to watch ants? At that time, I knew Xu Ming was not an ordinary person. No matter if it was a young girl, a young wife or an old lady in our village, as long as someone passed by, he would chatter and say hello to them. He was like a little adult!"
Xu Shuang's face, which had brightened up, darkened again after hearing these words.
Like Xu Ming? Why? Xu Ming got beaten a lot for his bad mouth when he was in school. At that time, those people didn't dare to beat Xu Ming, so they all came to beat him. That's why he started exercising early and built a good physique.
Wang Ying was also worried, as her daughter had shown an extraordinary talent for flirting since she was young. So she took Taotao to the sugar factory's nursery. Wang Ying had thought that she couldn't always let Old Lady Xu be busy with her granddaughter's affairs, so she took her to the nursery.
As a result, after attending the nursery for a few days, when Wang Ying went to pick her up, Taotao was already surrounded by a group of little brothers and sisters, who were feeding her like a doll.
Taotao was leaning back in the chair with her hands spread out. If it weren't for the scene in the nursery, she would have looked like a typical dandy lying down.
Little Taotao didn't notice at all that her mother was already thinking about how to educate her, and she hugged Xu Shuang's neck and called her the bride.
Xinghua had been working as a barefoot doctor for several years, and she was open about it to people. People who came to the banquet to watch the fun couldn't help but praise her.
"This girl from the Tian family is great. She's capable and pretty."
"You are talking nonsense, aren't you? How can a girl from the Seventh Brigade be any worse?"
In the past few years, thanks to the cultivation of honeysuckle, the income of the Seventh Brigade has soared. Even the village primary school was replaced with bricks and tiles in the spring of this year, which looks bright and impressive.
Naturally, the girls from the Seventh Brigade became popular in the surrounding communes, and they all vied to marry them.
For someone like Tian Xinghua, it was very difficult to marry someone from the commune in the past, as people from the commune did not like to marry someone from the brigade. It was only in recent years that Tian Xinghua worked hard and the brigade worked hard, and then she was able to marry someone from the commune. Xinghua herself was even transferred to the health center.
Wu Guihua specially asked Xinghua to come over to thank Wang Ying during the dinner: "Wang Ying, if it weren't for you, our girl wouldn't be where she is today. Xinghua should call you teacher, this glass of wine from our whole family is a toast to you."
If Wang Ying had not found a way to grow medicinal herbs for everyone, if Wang Ying had not imparted knowledge to Xinghua, how could their family be able to live the good life they have now
When Wu Guihua was moved, tears fell from her eyes.
She seldom thinks about the early years now. She only knows that those were hard times. At that time, Xinghua was at home, and the man who came to propose marriage mentioned a man from the Lazy Man Commune, who said he could give a dowry of 100 yuan.
Wu Guihua has almost forgotten what the matchmaker looked like, but she still remembers the anger she felt at that time.
Others would buy her flower-like daughter for a hundred dollars.
What made her feel even more uncomfortable was that when she heard the number of one hundred yuan, she clearly felt her heart skip a beat.
The hesitation and greed at that moment made her feel extremely guilty no matter how well she treated her daughter afterwards.
There is no way, we are poor and miserable.
Life in the countryside was always revolving around poverty. Who would have imagined that there would be the good life we have today
In the past two years, the scale of the brigade's honeysuckle has expanded three times. They also listened to Wang Ying's advice and started to plant several other medicinal herbs and prepare and sell them out.
A village-run factory was built in the brigade. It was called a factory, but in fact it was just a workshop. It just took advantage of the location and produced good medicinal materials.
Wu Guihua's family worked hard and saved some money in the past two years. Although they couldn't afford to eat as much meat and fish as they wanted, at least they no longer had to worry about going hungry.
Xinghua pulled her man and bowed deeply to Wang Ying.
Wang Ying hurried to help the two people, and Cheng Yu also helped her.
Regardless of whether Wang Ying recognizes it or not, Cheng Yu considers himself Wang Ying's eldest disciple.
Then Xinghua is her junior sister.
Cheng Yu happily took Wang Ying to have a meal. This time the meal was prepared by Xu Shuang and her people. All the dishes on the table looked good and delicious.
Wang Ying: "Why doesn't your teacher come?"
Now, for Wang Ying's sake, the people in the team have become much nicer towards Cheng Shufen and Cheng Yu, and no one is pointing fingers at them anymore.
Cheng Yu: "The teacher said that some of the people who came today might be from other teams, so she won't come. There is some leftover fish from yesterday at home, so it's the same if she eats it at home."
Wang Ying didn't say anything. Cheng Shufen was not like Cheng Yu. Cheng Yu was still young when the misfortune happened. Although he had suffered, children always remember to eat but not to be beaten. He could still jump around after the hard times were over.
But Cheng Shufen is different. She was frightened by those things.
The commune had been criticizing people all the time, and it was only since the second half of last year that it stopped requiring Cheng Shufen to go every time.
Cheng Yu could not fully understand the suffering that Cheng Shufen had endured.
Wang Ying: "Taotao's dad made some roasted rabbit legs and put two in the kitchen. Go and take one away quietly. It's brushed with honey and cumin."
Cheng Yu was drooling when he heard this: "Okay!"
Tian Xinghua's wedding was simple and lively. The relatives and friends who came gathered at several tables and finished their meal. Then the man rode a bicycle to pick Xinghua up and take her back to the commune.
"This boy Xinghua found is really good. He even has a bicycle at home!"
"Why don't you say that Xinghua's mother is a real person? She gave the good radio box to her daughter as a gift."
Wu Guihua was very generous to her daughter. She gave her not only the radio box, but also all the betrothal gifts from the man as a gift to her daughter as a place to put away, and also made a large quilt cover.
Everyone watched Tian Xinghua leave, and Wu Guihua wiped her tears and was about to turn around.
Suddenly a dull horn sounded.
A military vehicle appeared at the entrance of the village.
