The 80s Chronicle: Addiction To the Army’s Young Wife

"Your mother came here before, and I checked her. She is in good health and does not need any tonics to maintain the status quo." Old Uncle Yao walked to a bookshelf in the room and rummaged through the very old books. In the end, I brought a lot of books to Xu Ning, most of which were manuscripts, and many of them had missing pages. Nearly half of these books were bound books, looking upside down in the old style.

Xu Ning sat down at a table in front of him according to the old medicine uncle's meaning, "I am interested in cooking, and I think the profession of a doctor is very good, and I want to get in touch with it."

Old Uncle Yao understood the meaning of Xu Ning's words, and smiled: "How old is this, and start thinking of a way out?"

"Let’s get in touch first. It’s okay to learn more." She didn’t directly say that she wanted to study medicine. In her opinion, doctors are a very sacred profession. OK.

"These are all accumulated by our ancestors. I checked them tightly a few years ago. I hid them. Some of them became moldy for several years, but the words can still be seen clearly."

Xu Ning opened a book and saw that there were many words on it that she didn't recognize, just because many of them were in traditional Chinese characters. The look of these books was obviously after a long period of time.

In the next time, Xu Ning was watching and chatting with Old Medicine Uncle. What they talked about was all the things in the book, and Old Medicine Uncle also knew everything, and even many things that needed to be paid attention to, he would talk in great detail.

During this period, Xu Ning encountered some points that needed attention, and they would carefully write them down in a notebook.

Old Uncle Yao saw Xu Ning's serious look, and his eyes also showed appreciation.

When dusk approached, Xu Ning stood up and said, "Grandpa Yao, I'm going home first. Don't cook tonight. I'll bring it to you later."

Old Uncle Yao smiled and shook his head, and said kindly: "Ning Ning, my grandfather Yao is still stuffed with rice in the pot, don't give it away."

Xu Ning did not refute, greeted the old man and left.

After walking a certain distance, she looked back at the dilapidated courtyard behind her, and suddenly felt sore in her heart.

Not to mention his wife, who was the son who had quarreled with Old Yaoshu and left, Xu Ning was full of sorrows when he thought of it. This was such a hatred that he never came back as soon as he left.

The people in the village also feel pity and sympathy for the old Uncle Yao, just because he is a very kind old man, and the village has come to the door for serious illnesses and minor illnesses in the past few decades. Nearly half of the people in Xiangshan Village owed the medicine money from Old Uncle Yao, but the old people never ask for it. Whoever is more lenient will just send it by himself.

If some people want to rely on debt, they don't need Old Uncle Yao to follow their immediate demands. The condemning eyes of those in the village will also be overwhelming.

Such a good person, how can his son bear the heart?

It's just that the other party hasn't moved for more than 30 years, and many people feel that his son is probably no longer alive.

Once he came back with a broken leg from the battlefield, and the government had to change a place for him several times, but the old man said that he did not agree to anything, presumably because he was worried that his son would come back one day and could not find him.

Back home, grandma and mother have returned.

"Where have you been, come back so late?" The old lady was feeding the pigs when she saw her come in and asked.

"Go to Grandpa Yao's house and follow him to learn some knowledge about medicinal materials." Xu Ning walked to her grandma, "Grandpa Yao is really not easy."

The old lady also sighed, "Yes, I'm alone."

"I will cook a few dishes tonight, I will give them some medicine to grandpa." Xu Ning said and went into the kitchen.

Xu Ning is ready to do what he needs to do in the evening. He has steamed buns and vegetable pancakes at home, so he only needs to fry two dishes.

Although Grandpa Yao said that he didn’t need to give it to him, although the old man had food, after all he was old and his physical strength was limited after all. Their family is in good condition now. Since I want to ask Grandpa Yao for knowledge about medicated diet, naturally he will not be stingy. Something of my own.

A portion of stir-fried pork with cabbage and radish duck soup, plus a small bowl of pickles pickled by the old lady, Xu Ning is going to send it to the elderly.

As soon as I walked to my door, I saw Xu Jianjun pushing his bicycle off work, with several large bags hanging on the handlebars.

"Where is this going?" Xu Jianjun asked.

Xu Ning raised the food in his hand, "I trouble Grandpa Yao in the afternoon, and I will send him an order in the evening."

"You are at home, I'll deliver it." Xu Jianjun stopped the bicycle, delivered the things into the house, came out with the food and went out.

At this time, Old Uncle Yao was eating at home, the wattage of the dim light was a little low, and the old room was a little dim.

His dinner consisted of two pancakes, a cold radish and a plate of stir-fried vegetables. It was very simple.

After eating meals alone for decades, it seems that he has become very accustomed to it since it was difficult to swallow at the beginning.

Many people in the village privately persuaded Old Uncle Yao to find another wife, so that at least there is someone in the family who can help with cooking, and there are usually chatters, but he refused.

He always feels that he is an unknown person and is unwilling to harm others.

"Old Uncle Yao!" Xu Jianjun came in and saw the simple food on the table of the old man in front of him. He felt a little sour, "You just want to eat this?"

"Jianjun, sit down." Seeing someone coming, the old uncle Yao greeted Xu Jianjun to sit down, "The food is not bad, it's not much better than before."

Xu Jianjun disapproved and said: "It used to be before, but now you have a better life. Don't be wronged. This is Ningning's meal, which tastes very good. That girl asked me to bring it to you."

He got up and went to the stove to find two large bowls and served him the food he had brought. "Look, it's still steaming. These are small pickles my mother pickled by herself. The taste is very refreshing. You can talk about valuable things if you like to eat, there are many at home.

Smelling the fragrant food in front of him, Old Uncle Yao's lips trembled twice.

"What's the matter? The cabbage is grown in our own land. We have grown a lot this year. If you love to eat, I will send you some."

"Thank you."

"No trouble." Xu Jianjun sat here and chatted with the old man for a while, seeing that the sky was completely dark, he got up and left.

The old man returned to the house and slowly finished eating two pancakes, and most of the dishes went down. I have to say that the little girl is really talented in cooking, no wonder she wants to learn how to cook medicated food.

Looking up at the sky full of stars outside the window, the old man's eyes were filled with inevitable desolation and hollowness.

In the past, this house was also full of laughter and laughter. I don’t know when the house has become lifeless. No one talks at night, only the sound of insects and crickets who don’t know where they are hiding, quietly making people feel flustered.

If his son was still alive, he would be more than 40 years old now, so he should be alive.

I really hope he is still alive, even if he never comes back, it doesn't matter, as long as he is still alive.

"Xu Ning!" As soon as I walked into the classroom, I heard Zhang Meng greet her loudly.

"Here." She came to her seat. "What's so happy?"

Zhang Meng's eyes widened, "Don't you know?"

"What do you know?" There has been no exam recently, let alone any major events. Is there anything she doesn't know about?

"Autumn Games, you are thinking about studying all day, and your mind is confused?" Zhang Meng said happily: "This Friday our school is going to host the Autumn Games."

"Oh!" Xu Ning suddenly knew this. The Spring Games were very lively. The school was held every March. When Xu Ning came back from his birth, the Spring Games had already ended.

And the annual autumn sports games are in November of the solar calendar. There are very few events, all of them are racing activities. There are 100 meters, 400 meters, 800 meters, 1,500 meters, 3,000 meters, and A ten-kilometer cross-country race.

The off-road race is driving, and they are driving, but it is the 11th bus.

That's right, it ran on two legs.

There are many events in the Spring Games, including high jump and long jump, javelin throw, basketball and football, etc., which are very lively.

Every year, parents of students in the sports games also come to the school to watch the game. Those who run well will get school supplies such as notebooks and ballpoint pens from the school.

Things are not very valuable, but they are an honor.

"So, you want to sign up?" Xu Ning asked.

She is not going to sign up. She knows her physical strength very well.

However, Lu Xuejiao in their class runs very fast. Every year she has her in the competition. Sometimes she is first and second, and she has never fallen out of the top three.

Zhang Meng nodded happily, "I am idle as well as I am idle. Our head teacher will definitely say that the most important thing is to participate, and I will sign up for the cross-country race."

"You are great." Xu Ning gave a thumbs up, "That's ten kilometers, twenty miles, ten thousand meters, and I had to run two kilometers on the playground before, which is a full 12,000 meters."

"What's the matter? I just take a break when I'm tired on the road. Anyway, I can run the whole course." Zhang Meng is adhering to the purpose of focusing on participation this time, "You have to cheer for me when the time comes."

"...Well, I will cheer you on in the playground, you can run by yourself for the ten kilometers."

"That's it."

The autumn games are held together by the junior high school and the high school.

On the way from school, Xu Ning and Xie Zheng talked about the games.

Xie Zheng yawned, and said lazily, "Let's just sit and watch."

"Hey, Brother Zheng didn't plan to sign up?" Xu Ning was quite surprised. She knew that Xie Zheng's athletic cells were very good, especially basketball. When she was young, she liked his female classmates because of this. Not too much.

The Qiubo given out in the dark can't be eaten all year round.

"Very unexpected?" Xie Zheng chuckled, "I'm not alone, so I won't go."

"I want to go, but I can't run fast." Xu Ning was very depressed.

As soon as I finished speaking, I heard Xie Zheng chuckle next to him, "That's what I said, you still don't want to hinder the class."

Xu Ning's figure is very well proportioned. Her two legs are slender and straight and look quite long. As she grows taller, the proportions will become more and more perfect.

But I have to say that she is not athletic at all.

Xu Ning was not angry at being teased by Xie Zheng. She was telling the truth, and she didn't think it was embarrassing.

"Let's sit in the stands on the day of the game." After laughing, Xie Zheng rubbed her jet-black hair, which was comforting.

Although Xu Ning often exercises in the morning after her rebirth and her breath has gradually stabilized, it does not mean that she runs fast. At best, it is longer. If you run a cross-country race, persistence will not be a problem. Don’t count on ranking. Sprinting is even more difficult to even think about.

Because there is a sports meeting this week, the students in the school have also become excited, and I feel that everyone is in a very good mood.

On the day of the sports meeting, you don’t need to go to school on time. You can arrive before 8:30 in the morning. The sports meeting starts at 9 o’clock in the morning.

Qin Xuejuan looked at her daughter and asked again: "I really don't need my mother to go and see?"

"Yeah, no." Xu Ning shook his head, "You are pregnant now. There must be a lot of people in school today. Don't let anyone hurt. Besides, I didn't participate in the competition. You should still be at home. We should School will be over at three or four o'clock, and there will be two days off this week."

Seeing her daughter say this, Qin Xuejuan did not insist, nodded and agreed.

She was worried that her daughter would feel uncomfortable because she did not go. After all, in today's day, the countryside is not busy with farming. Many parents will go to school to see and know that their daughter cares about her, and she is happy to enjoy this care.

"Ningning is gone!" Xie Zheng's voice sounded at the door.

Xu Ning carried his schoolbag, said hello to his family, and went out, "Here."

The two came to the school together, and from a distance they saw that many students came with their parents. Many people came into the campus talking and laughing. It was so lively.

"Brother Zheng, are Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Gao not coming today?"

"No, I don't have a competition anyway, so why bother to come and crowd."

"That's what I said." Xu Ning looked at the crowded campus, "My mother still wanted to come, but I pressed it down. With so many people, how dare to let her come over."

"My third aunt stays at home all day, so I guess it's quite boring."

"No way, everyone in our family is worried, for fear that my mother will be hit by someone. She was only pregnant with a second child in her thirties. I am afraid it will be very hard."

Xie Zheng looked at her, "Don't worry, the three aunts have their own visions."

"...Brother Zheng still believes this." Xu Ning whispered.

"I believe it." I can't help but believe it, even after rebirth, there is nothing else I can't believe.

This answer surprised Xu Ning. She really didn't expect Xie Zheng to believe this kind of thing.

The two separated in school, and Xu Ning came to the classroom.

When she saw Zhang Meng, she really couldn't help laughing.

"I said, the cross-country race was in the afternoon, so it’s not too cold for you to dress like this now?" Xu Ning looked at Zhang Meng's wearing so little, and was really worried that she would catch a cold again.

Zhang Meng is serious. She is still shaking. Hearing what Xu Ning said, she picked up the quilted jacket on the table and put it on her body. Sadly, she found that she couldn’t put it in at all. They usually fit well. She is now wearing a coat of early autumn. There is no way to put a padded jacket in. There is no way to put on a coat outside, but unfortunately it does not block the cold.

"Hey, it's early to change." Zhang Meng said discouragedly.

Xu Ning was so amused by her that she took off her woolen jacket and handed it to Zhang Meng, "Hey, put on mine first, let you worry."

"Hey, thank you." Zhang Meng put on Xu Ning's clothes and gave her his coat. "You put on mine first, don't get dirty quilted jacket."

Xu Ning's padded jacket was made for her by the old lady. The color of the clothes is very delicate, and the padded jacket's placket, cuffs and hem are embroidered with patterns, which are very delicate. Xu Ning always wears it carefully to avoid staining the clothes. It will be very troublesome to wash.

The cross-country is divided into men's and women's groups, each group of eight people, Zhang Meng volunteered to report the name, Lu Xuejiao also reported the cross-country, of course, there are 400 meters and 1,500 meters, the remaining six candidates are personally named by Mr. Zhou. Xu Ning was not spotted, probably because she was looking at this white and tender little girl who was not like a rural child at all. She was very lacking in physical strength, so she didn't let her join in the fun at all.

Cross-country races are rewarded by class. According to the results, which class has the smallest sum of rankings will win, and then will get a solidarity certificate of an excellent sports class and post it in the classroom. This is a collective honor.

The two came to the playground together, when the playground was surrounded by people.

There are also many people on the playground at this time. They are all students participating in the competition, and their parents are all around the stands.

Xu Ning looked around, trying to find Xie Zheng's location, but there were so many people in front of him. Finding someone here was like finding a needle in a haystack.

After trying to find a few minutes to no avail, she simply gave up, and Zhang Meng found a place with few people, and stayed there.

Many of the teachers below are arranging competitions. The first one is the 100-meter dash, first for the 100-meter men's and women's group in the high school, and then the junior high school.

"Ningning, come with me." Then Xie Zheng came over.

Xu Ning saw him with a bright smile on his face, "I was looking for you just now, but there are too many people to find."

"I just came from the classroom, and the line of sight is not good. Come with me."

"Okay, Zhang Meng, let's go." Xu Ning took Zhang Meng and followed Xie Zheng.

The three people kept coming to the opposite side, and then came to the front, and saw Zhou Tao waving at the three of them.

"Here here." Zhou Tao pointed to a few benches beside him, and then kicked the classmate next to him, "Xie Zheng brought one more person, you go to that bench."

The male student who was kicked was not angry either, and had a fight with Zhou Tao twice, got up and left.

A few of them sat down here, and many people around saw the two girls brought by Xie Zheng, with clear eyes.

Xu Ning is the only one who can make Xie Zheng care so much. As for the other little girl, watching the interaction with Xu Ning, it is obvious that the two are good friends, incidentally.

They seldom see Xu Ning up close. Now that they see, many people are starting to whisper. There is no way, this little girl is so white that she stands out from the crowd, and she is indescribably beautiful.
