Zhan Aiping is a college student. She chose to stay in a big city like Shanghai right after graduation. As a doctor, her starting salary is higher than that of ordinary workers. She earned 58 yuan a month in Shanghai right after graduation.
Now I come to the township hospital, and work as an ordinary township doctor. The salary is not much more than someone's pocket money.
Zhan Aiping: “…” Now that you are here, you might as well make the best of it. There is no need to regret. Although the salary of doctors in township hospitals is not high, you actually don’t need money to buy anything at this time. Being a doctor also has some other benefits. Township doctors in this era have no shortage of food.
Doctors and teachers in township hospitals don't have much money, let alone farmers. Many times, they thank doctors for their medical treatment in the form of eggs, fruits, and various mountain products and grains.
Although Yunnan Province is a border area, it has a good climate, lush vegetation, and abundant mountain products, such as black truffles, matsutake mushrooms, morels, chicken mushrooms, porcini... You won't go hungry, and you may even be able to enjoy delicious food and drinks.
—Eat wherever you go.
The township hospital can also allocate her a vegetable plot and a house, so that she can plant some flowers in front of and behind the house, and make flower cakes in the future.
Zhan Aiping asked the accountant Qin Yanfang: "Xiao Qin, are there any other empty rooms in the hospital? I have a lot of things here, and I also want to prepare Chinese medicinal materials, pound pills, and make plasters myself. I'm afraid you can't get used to the smell..."
This is the kingdom of plants, and there are a great variety of Chinese herbal medicines. Chinese herbal medicines are not directly effective when they are dug out. They need to be prepared by specialists, and different herbs have different preparation methods.
Although she said so, Zhan Aiping actually didn't want to live in the same room with anyone. After all, she was a person with a family, and it would be very inconvenient if a doctor's family member came here to stay overnight.
She must let her revolutionary friends live in her family quarters!
Qin Yanfang was stunned: "You—"
Qin Yanfang really couldn't keep up with Zhan Aiping's thoughts. Although she treated Zhan Aiping warmly, she never thought that Zhan Aiping would really take root here. She thought that after hearing about the treatment in their hospital, the young doctor Zhan would definitely smile and nod on the surface, but actually prepare to escape privately and would never really stay in Yanxin Health Center.
That's why she invited Zhan Aiping to live with her. This way she could save trouble and avoid cleaning the house. Zhan Aiping was not used to it after staying for a few days, so she could leave whenever she wanted and it wouldn't delay anything.
Now she actually asked her if there was a vacant room
Could it be that Dr. Zhan really intends to stay in the health center? !
"Yes, there are a few empty houses, but I'm afraid you won't like them. The roof is leaking. It leaks when it rains. In my house, I have to use a basin to catch the rain when it rains." The hospital has enough tiled houses, and there are a few empty houses, but they are in disrepair and no one lives in them. They are not maintained by "people" and will easily deteriorate.
Qin Yanfang's tiled house also has a leak on the roof. It's okay when it rains lightly, but you have to use a bucket to catch the water when it rains heavily. Fortunately, there are distinct dry and wet seasons here, and it rains a lot only in the rainy season, and it rains most in midsummer. When the roof leaks, just think of it as a "cooling down" gift from God. It's very comfortable to sleep listening to the sound of rain. Qin Yanfang didn't even think of repairing the roof and just made do with it.
Zhan Aiping said: "Which rooms are empty? Take me to have a look."
Qin Yanfang: "There are a few rooms over there. I'll take you there."
The brick buildings of the hospital are lined up in a row. There is a drainage ditch in front of the front house. In front of the drainage ditch is a vegetable field, or a "flower garden". There is a very tall "sunflower" planted in front of Qin Yanfang's house. Qin Yanfang pointed at it and said, "I'll treat you to sunflower seeds in the future."
I just don’t know if Dr. Xiao Zhan can stay until the sunflower seeds are ripe.
"OK."
While Qin Yanfang led her there, she also introduced the houses where several other doctors lived: "That's Dr. Zhou's home. There is a swallow's nest under his eaves."
"This room is empty. There is a beehive at the very edge. We didn't dig out the beehive because no one lives there. It's not a hornet's nest, so it should produce honey in the future..." Qin Yanfang didn't know much about bees, but she heard from other doctors that it was not a hornet's nest and that she could dig out bee pupae to eat in the future.
"Doctor Zhan, there are so many wild bees in the mountains here, dozens of species, I can't recognize them all, but they are all bees. The locals love to eat bee pupae. If you go to the village, they might even force you to eat them and give you bee pupae. I don't know if you're afraid or not. Even the girls from the city don't dare to eat them."
"Actually, there's nothing to be afraid of. Those bee pupae are plump and white, and quite cute. Among the insect feasts here, I only dare to eat bee pupae. I don't dare to eat other spiders or grasshoppers..."
Zhan Aiping glanced inside and said directly, "Let's take this one."
"Ah?!" Qin Yanfang, who was still speaking, was shocked. Has this been decided
"Doctor Zhan, are you really planning to live here?"
Zhan Aiping asked: "Why? Is it not possible?"
"No, it's not impossible. Just pick a room at random. You're a new doctor anyway, so you should have one to live in. You can't get home during the night shift, and you'll have a place to take a nap at noon. But there's no furniture in it, so you'll have to find someone to make furniture..." Qin Yanfang scratched her head. Moving is easier said than done. In fact, it's quite difficult. There's only one empty room in it. "Look, it's leaking. If you want someone to live in it, you'll have to find a craftsman to fix it. Doctor Zhan, you, you, you, my God!"
Before Qin Yanfang could say anything, she didn't know what happened to Zhan Aiping. She whooshed onto the roof and disappeared in front of her.
Qin Yanfang: “?”
How come this beautiful female doctor from a big city has the skills of a monkey
Zhan Aiping popped her head out from the roof: "Don't worry, I can fix the roof myself. I also plan to reinforce this house."
"Xiao Qin, your roof is there, right? I'll go and help you fix it later."
"We need to get some tiles. Let me see if there are any broken tiles in the corner over there." Zhan Aiping glanced at a few stacks of tiles under the eaves and a jujube tree not far away.
Qin Yanfang was terrified when she saw her walking on the roof as if it were flat ground. She said, "Doctor Zhan, be careful, don't fall down."
"Don't worry, I won't fall from this height."
Zhan Aiping asked Qin Yanfang to pass her tiles. She could repair the roof of a house, so she might as well repair all of them. Qin Yanfang passed her materials from below, "Doctor Zhan, you are really... You are like a cat."
Qin Yanfang felt that Zhan Aiping was like a beautiful little wild cat she had seen before, with snow-white, elegant, and fluffy fur, and licking its paws proudly. However, it was extremely capable and could climb onto the roof whenever it wanted. It wagged its tail slowly, and its ability to catch mice was even stronger. It would clap its paws and tease the mice like toys.
So awesome!
Qin Yanfang's face turned red and she was very excited.
While they were renovating the house, Dr. Zhou, who was originally sitting in the Chinese medicine store, came out to watch the fun. Dr. Zhou was almost forty years old. He used to be a barefoot doctor in the village. Later, he went to the county hospital for training for a period of time and was then assigned to the township hospital as a doctor.
Doctor Zhou Zhonghua saw a beautiful young girl repairing the house. His wife had asked him to go up and repair the house before, but he refused because he was afraid that he would fall down due to his old age. As a result, he couldn't help but blush when he saw a beautiful girl going up on the roof.
He ran out, cleared his throat, and to show his ability, he adjusted his glasses and took the initiative to comfort the young girl on the roof: "Zhan, this little doctor Zhan, thank you for repairing the roof. Don't worry, I am very good at orthopedics. I am not afraid even if someone falls. People who fall always ask me to fix their bones."
But when he fell, there was no one to straighten his bones, which is why he didn't go up to the roof.
We must protect orthopedic doctors.
Zhan Aiping: “…” What a bullshit.
Qin Yanfang was also speechless, so she had to explain: "Doctor Zhou is indeed very good at treating orthopedics."
Zhan Aiping: "I'm also very good at it! You can ask me to fix your bones if you fall."
"Really? I used to know several old military doctors who specialized in orthopedics."
Doctor Zhou: “????” I don’t believe there is anyone better than me. This little girl can also treat orthopedics? You are just bragging.
Qin Yanfang: “???” Why do these two doctors’ words make people feel creepy
It seemed like a crow flew by.
Repairing the roof doesn’t take too much effort. Zhan Aiping has fixed it temporarily. Of course, if it needs to be reinforced, more work will be needed. Now we can only say that it doesn’t leak.
Zhan Aiping came down from the roof, and Qin Yanfang went to find a few keys to the house and gave them to her: "If you want to change the locks, you can ask a locksmith to change them."
The door of the brick house is made of wood, an old-fashioned wooden door lock with a bolt inside. The lock is just an ordinary small iron lock. In fact, it can't protect against thieves. It can be violently opened with a hammer. But having such a lock is always a token of your kindness. There is nothing to steal in every household these days.
"Okay." Zhan Aiping went into the house to take a look. There was a layer of dust inside and it needed to be cleaned. It was almost two rooms, a little smaller than the one Gu Sheng got. The front door and the back door were opposite each other, and there was also a ditch at the back, so people could enter and exit through the front and back doors.
"Doctor Zhou has a wife and children. He has built a house behind his house. If you want to build one, you can build it yourself. You can even build a shed. Our hospital doesn't have anything else. The place is quite large, and there are some fruit trees planted in the back..." These houses do not have personal property rights. They belong to the hospital. As long as you keep working in the hospital, you can live in them for the rest of your life, until you retire and die.
Of course, you still have to pay a symbolic rent of one dollar to the hospital every month.
Although their health center looks shabby, the planned area is actually quite large. A large piece of land belongs to the hospital. The government now strongly encourages and supports the development of township hospitals and township medical care. It also provides training for rural barefoot doctors, hoping to bring scattered barefoot doctors back to the hospitals.
Qin Yanfang is a person with no ambitions. She feels that she will probably work in this small township hospital until she dies without being transferred.
Anyway, the current accounting work in the hospital is very easy and she feels very comfortable.
When you get married and the space is not big enough, you can build another house with your own money like Dr. Zhou did. After all, you have a family and the land in the countryside is not valuable. With everyone's consent, you can build one or two more rooms.
Qin Yanfang is currently single. Although she has a partner, they are not married yet. She lives in a small two-room apartment, which is enough for her.
"Our hospital also has an orchard. If you want to eat fruit, just pick it. Fruit is not valuable anyway. When it ripens, we can share it among ourselves." There is an abundance of fruit here, and the fruit is very sweet. However, the fruit is not easy to preserve. If you can't finish it, it will rot in the fields. So we just pick out some delicious fruits to eat, or give them to relatives and friends.
The remaining fruits with average taste are fed to pigs. The pigs raised in the hospital are quite fat and are often given extra meals.
"It's enough for me to live alone." Zhan Aiping thought that she could avoid building a house, but instead build an adobe oven, which she could use to bake bread, cakes, sweet potato chips and the like in the hospital, and it wouldn't be inconspicuous.
Compared with the barracks, the township hospital has a lot more freedom and is not eye-catching. Listen to what Qin Yanfang said, if you want to add a building, you can just change it and do whatever you want.
There are many doctors here. Even if there is little cash at home, there is definitely no shortage of food. There may be a lot of delicious food hidden at home.
"Xiao Qin, can you lend me a broom? I want to clean the house." Zhan Aiping planned to clean the house and then find Gu Sheng to help her get some old furniture. The house would be ready for moving in soon. If she couldn't get furniture, there were plenty of bamboos here and she could make some bamboo products herself.
"Yes, I'll get you a broom. Doctor Zhan, you go ahead and do your work. I need to go to the pharmacy to take a look. Please stay here for lunch." Qin Yanfang found her a broom and a rag and went to work.
Zhan Aiping tidied the house briefly, cleared the dust, and opened the front and back doors. The light in the house was very good. There was a skylight in the middle, so ventilation was possible from front to back and convection in two places, and the fluidity was very good. Of course, feng shui said that this would not bring wealth, but all buildings at that time were like this, with the front and back doors facing each other, making it comfortable to live in.
After a while, it was already noon. Qin Yanfang came to invite her to have dinner together. "Doctor Zhan, I'm almost done cooking."
She cooked at the door of the house and took out the stove and pots when needed.
Doctor Zhou came over at this time and said, "You two, make do and come to my house for dinner. I warmly welcome Doctor Zhan to our clinic."
Dr. Zhou Zhonghua was very surprised to see that the new doctor Zhan had already started cleaning. Could it be that Zhan Aiping really wanted to stay in the township health center
—She also fixed the roof for us.
It's really embarrassing for male doctors.
Doctor Zhou is somewhat famous in the area for his practice of traditional Chinese medicine and orthopedics. His wife works in a supply and marketing cooperative and his children go to school. His family conditions are pretty good. They don't have much money, but they have enough food at home, so he openly invites the two of them to have a meal.
As for other people in the hospital, some have already eaten, some have gone out to see patients, and some have gone back to their hometowns nearby when it is not their turn to work. They do not necessarily stay in the hospital every day.
The Zhou family set up a table in front of the house. Zhou Zhonghua's wife Meng Xiaoyun was also there. She worked at the supply and marketing cooperative and came back to eat at noon. She was a slightly fat aunt with a round face and waist. She smiled very kindly. But when Meng Xiaoyun saw Zhan Aiping, she saw that she was pretty and her own husband Zhou also invited her to come for dinner, she couldn't help but feel uneasy.
She glared at Zhou Zhonghua, who smiled and said, "You should thank Dr. Zhan for helping you fix your roof. You kept chattering for so long."
"Ah? Repaired the roof?" Meng Xiaoyun was stunned. Repaired the roof? This skinny and pretty girl in front of him? She must be kidding.
"You guys really didn't team up to deceive me?" Meng Xiaoyun looked at Qin Yanfang, and Qin Yanfang nodded: "I was the one who passed the tile from behind."
"Really? That's great. I was planning to fix it myself. I'd like to borrow this ladder—"
Zhou Zhonghua laughed at her: "With your tonnage, our house would collapse."
Several people laughed, including Meng Xiaoyun. She was happy that the roof was repaired. Doctor Zhou continued, "You'd better stop doing this as soon as possible. Just thank Xiaozhan."
"Yes, thank you, Doctor Zhan."
Meng Xiaoyun went to bring over some dishes, a steamed fish, stir-fried pork with pickled bamboo shoots, tofu with green onions and some pickled spicy ginger; Qin Yanfang also brought over the dishes she had cooked, a pumpkin in vinegar soup and pickled radish.
When Zhou Zhonghua saw her dishes, he was disgusted: "Qin Yanfang, how are you going to get married in the future? You eat pumpkin in vinegar soup every day, and you don't get tired of it."
Qin Yanfang has not married yet. She lives alone and is very casual about food. She eats boiled pumpkin every day. The recipe of pumpkin in vinegar soup is very simple. Just boil the pumpkin in water. The bigger the pumpkin is cut, the better. Add white vinegar and ginger and cook together. It is an easy dish. Add some pickled radish and spicy ginger and you can have a meal.
Pumpkin can be stored for a long time, so it is very convenient. You can occasionally stir-fry some vegetables and meat and just get by with it.
"Don't be disgusted, my pumpkin soup is delicious. Doctor Zhan, have a bowl of my pumpkin soup. Doctor Zhou, if you dislike it, don't drink it."
Qin Yanfang scooped a bowl of pumpkin soup for Zhan Aiping. Zhan Aiping tasted it and found that the vinegar pumpkin soup tasted really good, with a special sweet and sour aroma. The pumpkin was fragrant and glutinous, and tasted soft and fragrant with a hint of ginger. There was also a light yellow soup and the orange-red pumpkin, which was bright in color and particularly appetizing.
Zhan Aiping said: "It tastes really good."
The four of them drank a bowl of pumpkin soup. Meng Xiaoyun said, "That's not true. People cook this dish every day and have mastered it."
Qin Yanfang laughed, obviously very proud: "It tastes good, right? One dish is enough for me."
Zhan Aiping: “…”
Suddenly she felt that there were still many strange people in this world, just like she could eat carrots for a month, Gu Sheng could eat potatoes for a month, and Qin Yanfang could eat pumpkin for a month.
Everyone is living a hard life now, there is no way food will be abundant in the future.
Meng Xiaoyun asked Zhan Aiping: "Doctor Zhan, are you dating someone? Are you married?"
Zhan Aiping: "I'm married. My husband is a soldier, so I followed him here."
"Really? A military wife." Meng Xiaoyun felt relieved when she heard this, but when she thought of the misunderstanding just now, she couldn't help but blushing.
She helped her repair the roof, and she was so beautiful and kind. Meng Xiaoyun felt a little guilty and couldn't help but become more enthusiastic towards her.
"No kids yet?"
"Newly married, just got married not long ago."
Meng Xiaoyun: "Oh, that's great, Xiao Qin, why don't you learn from Xiao Zhan and get married sooner."
Qin Yanfang smiled and said nothing.
Zhou Zhonghua asked Zhan Aiping: "Doctor Zhan, did you study Chinese medicine or Western medicine? Did you really know an old military doctor? You also know orthopedics. With your small body, you also know orthopedics?"
Working in orthopedics requires talent, not just medical skills. Treating orthopedics is a physically demanding job, and great effort can produce miracles.
"I have studied both Chinese and Western medicine. I am a retired female soldier and I studied at the Military Medical University."
"Then why didn't you go to the military hospital?"
Zhan Aiping did not hide it: "I left the military hospital before, and now they don't want me anymore."
Zhou Zhonghua said: "It's okay, come to our hospital and work hard. With your education, you may be the director in the future."
Meng Xiaoyun: "I don't care about the director of this lousy hospital..."
Zhou Zhonghua snorted and laughed a few times. Although he said so, he actually didn't agree. Although this young girl has a high level of education, in terms of ability, how can she compare with an old doctor who has decades of medical experience
Qin Yanfang finished her pumpkin soup and said, "I'm waiting to be called by Dean Zhan."
Zhou Zhonghua said, "The dean is not here, and our Chinese medicine pharmacy is short of staff. Why don't you come and work in the pharmacy? Do you really know Chinese medicine? If you don't, I, an experienced doctor with many years of experience, can teach you."
Zhan Aiping said: "Yes, I know Chinese medicine."
I had just picked up the scalpel again, but I didn't expect to go back to my old job. In fact, in the township hospital, there are too few Western medicine supplies and materials, so I can't cause any trouble, and the villagers also prefer to believe in Chinese medicine remedies.
Zhan Aiping's current goal is to settle down first, get familiar with the health center, get familiar with the basic situation around her, and take care of things in her "new home". Having grown up eating canteen meals, she no longer wants to eat canteen meals and wants to be a foodie to satisfy her appetite.
Life is so long that there is no need to rush many things. Thinking about the wild bees that Qin Yanfang mentioned just now, Zhan Aiping planned to find time to go up the mountain to dig wild honey and visit the bees' hometown!
The wild honey here is a treasure! By the way, you can go up the mountain to look for medicinal herbs. This is the kingdom of plants, with many kinds of herbs, and you may be able to dig up a lot of treasures.
However, you must be adequately prepared when going up the mountain, as there are many treasures on the mountain, and it is also dangerous.
After lunch, Meng Xiaoyun grabbed Zhan Aiping and said, "Doctor Zhan, thank you for helping me repair the roof. I'll give you something to try. The ham made in my hometown is delicious. I'll cut you a piece with fat."
Qin Yanfang said at the side: "Doctor Zhan, you must try this, it's delicious!"
"Okay, thank you Sister Meng."
"Hey--" Meng Xiaoyun smiled very kindly. She was happy to see such a beautiful young girl like Zhan Aiping calling her sister.
Zhan Aiping happily accepted the ham that was given to her, thinking that it would be good to get to know more fellow villagers. The ham from Yunnan Province is quite famous, and the ham is also used in military canned food. However, the canned food is not as delicious as the one made by the locals.
In the afternoon, Zhan Aiping just cleaned the house and chatted with others. When she left, she wrapped the ham with oil paper and picked some pea seedlings and sweet peas grown in the health center before leaving.
She is now full of expectations for her future life, and will bring her revolutionary friends a good life in the future.
At that time, many things are still in their original state, and there are a lot of treasures on the mountains that have not been discovered. For example, the black truffles in Yunnan Province at this time are directly fed to pigs by farmers. Sows love to eat black truffles. It does not have such a noble-sounding name as black truffle. It is the sow’s favorite - pig arch mushroom.
The taste of wild mushrooms just picked from the woods is the best in the world.
My mouth is watering just thinking about it.
Zhan Aiping was waiting for the camp's car with her things in her arms. She was wearing a watch and didn't have to wait long before the camp's car picked her up. She took the car back to the family compound. Zhan Aiping was holding a piece of ham in her arms and didn't say much. She put out the tender pea seedlings.
She didn't chat with anyone in the car. Zhan Aiping was thinking about going home to cook, so she got off the car and hurried to her yard. When she entered the yard, she ran into the family member of Officer Xie from next door, also a young woman who was a teacher in a primary school for children of soldiers. Her name was He Lingling. They really quarreled often. Zhan Aiping was not familiar with this person, but was familiar with her voice. They hadn't said a few words to each other during the few days she had been here.
"Captain Gu's family, you're back?" He Lingling called her. He Lingling looked at Zhan Aiping with a complicated look in her eyes. She thought to herself that it was really a new generation replacing the old.
In the past, He Lingling and Officer Xie were the young, beautiful and well-matched couple in the family compound. They were both good-looking and young, and their family conditions were also good. Neither of them was a farmer. He Lingling was the youngest daughter in the family and was rather pampered. Seeing that Xie Shu was good-looking and a soldier, she followed him from afar to follow the army here. Their life was a mess. Although they quarreled often, they managed to get by.
When they quarrel, they can make a big fuss, but after the quarrel they are inseparable and love each other more than anyone else.
Now a young couple moved in next door to them. Their family conditions were better than theirs. One was tall and handsome, the other was pretty and charming. Both were college students, and the couple was a female military doctor. At first, He Lingling didn't want to have anything to do with their family.
He Lingling thought that the family next door might be like hers, and they would probably quarrel every day. However, she didn't expect that after living there for a few days, she didn't see any quarrels in the family next door.
Even Director Li Yuxia came to teach her a lesson: "Learn from the young couple next door. Where are they quarreling?"
He Lingling felt uncomfortable after hearing this, and she thought to herself that the young couple next door looked like they were in appearance but not in spirit.
Childhood sweethearts
What a "deep love". Gu Sheng is such a man, and he has been single in the army before, so why is he suddenly getting married now
He Lingling didn't like getting along with military wives who were better off than her. She had thought that Zhan Aiping could go to a military hospital, but ended up going to a township hospital. This made her feel that being a primary school teacher was superior to her, and being a doctor was so dirty and tiring.
Now she heard that Zhan Aiping really went to the township hospital to "adapt to the environment" and was waiting for her to ask about the situation.
"Teacher He?" Zhan Aiping called her while holding the ham. Although she didn't want to chat with He Lingling, she still had to be polite for the sake of being polite.
He Lingling took the initiative to say: "I see that your man gets along well with you. Director Li even asked me to learn from you. She said that we quarrel every day. It's not that I want to quarrel, but my man needs to be cleaned up. He has a lot of problems. He snores when he sleeps at night. I have told him many times to clean up..."
He Lingling's complaints came out fluently, and she could name a lot of things about her own husband's faults.
Zhan Aiping just listened to her quietly. She hugged her ham. She had also asked about the situation of the couple next door and knew what was going on. It was just the norm for some young couples.
When she complains to her friends, she can list a lot of her husband's bad points and shortcomings. When her friends join her in criticizing her husband and advise her to "break up", she can naturally list a lot of her husband's advantages, and then blame you for not understanding how they get along as a couple.
Then say - this is the sweetness and helplessness of loving someone.
She would also ask: "Don't you and your lover have any? In fact, Mr. Xie in my family is very considerate to me..."
"Slapping is love, scolding is love, not spanking or scolding is not love."
Director Li Yuxia suffered greatly from this, so she said that this couple is "a match made in heaven".
"Our old Gu..." Zhan Aiping did not join He Lingling in criticizing her husband, but instead mentioned her own man.
He Lingling listened curiously, just to hear if Zhan Aiping would say something bad about Gu Sheng.
Zhan Aiping continued, "My old Gu has only one advantage, he has had a good-looking face since he was a child. Seeing that he has a good-looking face, I can't bear to hit him."
"I really can't bear to hit him." Actually, no, she had been very cruel to him in the past. Although the blows were not severe, they would leave him with a little bruise on his face.
In the words of the future, this is the beauty of battle damage.
He Lingling: “…” I just wanted to tell her about the quarrel, but it escalated into a fight next door.
"Yes, is that so? My husband and I often quarrel, but we are sensible and have never fought."
"My husband Gu and I grew up together, and I don't know how many times we've fought each other." Zhan Aiping said first: "Beating is love, scolding is care."
He Lingling: “… Yes, yes?”
This was the first time He Lingling had encountered such a situation, and she didn't know how to deal with it. She changed the subject and asked, "Doctor Zhan, how did you feel about going to the hospital today?"
"Very good, I look forward to the future life." Zhan Aiping waved at her: "Teacher He, I'm going back first."
Zhan Aiping went back with the ham in her arms. There was not much meat and she was afraid that others would covet her ham.
Anyway, they had chatted enough about family matters, so Zhan Aiping turned around and went back.
He Lingling looked at her back as she left gracefully. She really couldn't understand her. She went to the township hospital, and she was fine? Was she really not going to make trouble with her family
After Zhan Aiping returned home, she tidied up simply and prepared to make her own ham and pea rice.
Make a big pot of ham and pea rice, then stew potatoes with ham, and finally stir-fry pea shoots.
She rolled up her sleeves to cook, so that when Gu Sheng came back, he could smell the tempting aroma of ham coming from his home in the yard. He came back late today and did not go to the cafeteria to eat, so he was really hungry now, and the smell was really unbearable.
What on earth is his wife fiddling with at home? It smells so good. The ham smell is so unbearable.
Gu Sheng walked into the house and asked directly: "What are you cooking? It smells so good."
Zhan Aiping: "Ham stewed rice, and ham stewed potatoes, come, try it." She called Gu Sheng over and scooped a spoonful of potatoes and ham for him. Gu Sheng didn't bother to be polite with her and lowered his head to eat it directly.
It tastes so delicious when you eat it. The salty and fragrant taste of the ham is absorbed by the potatoes. The soft potatoes carry the salty and fragrant meaty flavor. It is really a wonderful delicacy that makes people want to swallow their tongue together.
After taking one bite, he wanted a second bite, so Gu Sheng pointed to his mouth and motioned to continue.
"Still eating? Go take a shower quickly, look at how bad you smell." There were beads of sweat on Gu Sheng's forehead, and his handsome face became more resolute, looking as salty and fragrant as the ham.
Zhan Aiping asked him to take a shower, and Gu Sheng quickly took a shower and changed his clothes, "You doctors are just too picky."
After taking a shower, it was time for dinner. There was no time to talk. Gu Sheng ate more voraciously than anyone else, wolfing down the food.
He ate too voraciously, so Zhan Aiping quickly scooped her own portion into her own bowl and made a clear distinction between Chu and Han with him: they were both gluttons, he was a big glutton and she was a small glutton, and she couldn't let the big glutton swallow up her small glutton's portion.
Gu Sheng stared at the Chu-Han River boundary and accepted it.
Zhan Aiping said: "It tastes good, right?"
Gu Sheng admitted: "When you've been away for three days, you should look at it with new eyes. Your cooking is delicious."
Zhan Aiping smiled complacently, patted his shoulder, and boasted: "Your sister Pingping will take you to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks in the future."
Gu Sheng's mouth twitched: "..."
"In my life, I have never had a few days of enjoying delicious food and drinks."
Gu Sheng was telling the truth. All the children in the Gu family are like this. They are most afraid that their mother’s cooking is bad, and they still like to cook, saying it is better to eat in the cafeteria.
He thought that his life would be just like his father, but he didn't expect that his wife could suddenly cook such delicious dishes.
Gu Sheng: "You went to the hospital and brought food with you?"
Zhan Aiping blinked her eyes: "I got it by my own ability."
Gu Sheng sighed: "I thought you were going to the hospital and you would deduct my pocket money when you came back."
Zhan Aiping clicked her tongue: "You are quite self-aware."
"I won't deduct your money. I keep my word."
Gu Sheng gently touched her head and said softly, "Are you really planning to stay in the township hospital? Now you want me to ask Director Xu for help, and I can even risk my face to block his office."
"No need. I'm fine now. I've even been allocated a house in the health center. Next time I'll take you to the doctor's family to meet someone."
Gu Sheng smiled: "Okay, I am Dr. Zhan's family member."
"You have to give me face."
"clear."
At night, the young couple lit the lights and huddled together to continue working on making clothes. The radio was also on, and they could occasionally hear quarrels from next door. Gu Sheng held his wife in his arms and went to bed to rest.
"Can you get some old furniture? The house I was given is empty..."
"I'll try to think of a way."
Gu Sheng was extremely happy. He kissed Zhan Aiping between the eyebrows and felt that the past few days were just like a dream. He had delicious food and drink, and he could sleep in his wife's arms at night. It was truly a godly life.
When will Gu Xiangyi come over? She should hurry up and see how her brother is living a luxurious life.
Of course, the mountains were high and the roads were long, so she couldn't fly over in a short time.
Before Gu Sheng waited for Gu Xiangyi, he received a call from the old man Gu Ze'an. Needless to say, Gu Ze'an started by scolding him on the phone. It was obvious that he already knew that Zhan Aiping did not go to Chengjun Hospital, but to a small township hospital.
"How could I have such a bad son like you, letting Pingping suffer with you? Oh, if they don't agree to you, forget it, are you her man? Why don't you dare to slam the table in front of the dean? Why doesn't he want Pingping..."
Gu Sheng didn't say anything and just listened to him scolding.
"You are just like your little sister, you only know how to bully others at home."
"Your younger sister was transferred to your military hospital to be a nurse. I originally thought that they could take care of each other..." Gu Xiangyi, the younger sister of the Gu family, did not have very good grades, and she could only barely attend a nursing school. Gu Ze'an and his wife originally wanted to keep their daughter by their side, but they did not expect that their daughter had grown up and become wild, so they could only follow her wishes.
There is a shortage of doctors and nurses here, and it is a frontier area. Coming here is considered as supporting the border areas, so it is not difficult to transfer them here.
Gu Sheng said: "It's not far, and I can take care of her. Let her come over quickly."
Gu Sheng thought that it would be good to be in the military hospital, which was neither too far nor too close, just right.
Gu Ze'an was suspicious, so he deliberately asked, "Let your little sister come over and see how you deal with Pingping?"
Gu Sheng: "... Just ask her to come over and tell her sister-in-law that she wants to see her too."
When talking about his wife, there was an unconscious smile in his tone.
Gu Ze'an hung up the phone and thought of his youngest son's smile, feeling inexplicably disappointed.
Could it be that this guy really took care of Pingping
