Chapter 116 Jinse
The two of them entered the kitchen. After a while, Zhou Hui walked into the kitchen to wash and chop vegetables.
"Xiao Xi, Sister Zhu has some bad words. She and I had quarreled and quarreled several times, and we almost got into a fight twice. Xiaozhuang and his wife are pretty good, and Xiaozhuang has been an old employee of our factory for ten years. She came to the factory when she was only a few years old. Xiao Li is also a female worker in our factory. She is a girl who doesn’t talk much but is very capable. I was the one who brokered their affairs..."
Zhou Hui glanced at Ning Xi and saw that Ning Xi did not resent her speaking for that family, and continued, "Your eldest brother knew that Sister Zhu and the others came to find you, so he went to Xiaozhuang to talk to him and persuaded Xiaozhuang to do it. After checking, the problem did lie with Xiaozhuang. After hearing the news, the whole family felt like the sky was falling. Sister Zhu sat in the yard and cried all afternoon, and her husband also smoked in the house all afternoon. "
"Xiaozhuang proposed to divorce Xiaoli, and he didn't want to drag her down. Xiaoli was very determined that she would not divorce and just wanted to be with Xiaozhuang. The family found us again. I also watched the two children really have feelings for each other. I brought them to you because of my sincerity."
“Xiao Xi, just take a look at it for my aunt’s sake.”
Zhou Hui spoke, and Ning Xi could not refuse, so she could only nod.
Zhou Hui smiled and took the kitchen knife from Ning Xi's hand and took over the work of cutting the meat. "Well, go and show them, and I'll cook."
Ning Xi originally wanted to cool off the family, but she was worried that Zhou would be in trouble, so she had no choice but to walk out of the kitchen and invite the three of them into the diagnosis room. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law apologized to Ning Xi sincerely, while Xiaozhuang sat with some dejection. He didn't say anything, and it looked like he hadn't come out of the shadows yet.
Ning Xi carefully read Xiaozhuang's test results and took Xiaozhuang's pulse. "I believe the doctor told you that there is no hope when you were in the hospital."
Xiaozhuang sat in silence for a while, then nodded. He probably understood from Ning Xi's tone that he was indeed hopeless. He lowered his head, looking even more depressed.
“I don’t have much confidence. The most I can do is give it a try. I’m not sure whether it can be cured in the end.”
"Then what if it still can't be cured?" The mother-in-law no longer had the arrogance before, and she spoke politely. If she wasn't worried, she wouldn't even dare to ask this question, for fear of offending Ning Xi again. .
"Try for half a year. If it doesn't work, give up! When you can go back and discuss it, the medicines I prescribe for you are relatively expensive. In Brother Zhuang's case, a pair of medicines will cost at least 80 yuan."
“It’s better to try than to do nothing.” The daughter-in-law expressed her meaning in a low voice, probably because she was afraid that her mother-in-law would be unhappy, and added, “Mom, I will work hard.
"I don't think I'm tired enough, so I have to force myself to death." The mother-in-law glared at her daughter-in-law fiercely, and took out a handkerchief folded into tofu cubes from her trouser pocket. She opened the handkerchief and placed a pile of money inside. There were cents, one yuan, new ones and old ones. The mother-in-law counted the money carefully and handed all the 300 yuan to Ning Xi. Gotta try it.”
Ning Xi did not accept the money. She picked up a pen and paper and quickly wrote a prescription for someone. "My diagnosis fee is 200. If you want medicine, you can go to the Baohe Hall next door to get it."
“Oh! Okay.” The mother-in-law counted the money in her hand again and took out a hundred yuan, and once again laid out the money in front of you.
She deserves the 200 yuan consultation fee, and Ning Xi paid it without any pressure.
After dinner in the afternoon, Zhou Hui was ready to go back. When leaving, Zhou Hui thought of Chen Jing's instructions and pulled Ning Xi and said, "Xiao Xi, the factory has now started producing autumn clothes. Your sister-in-law is very dissatisfied with this year's autumn clothes. She said she asked you to help me think about the design last time. Do you have any design inspiration? "
Chen Jing did mention this matter before, but she didn't take it seriously and had forgotten about it long ago.
Ning Xi couldn't say this, so she had to bite the bullet and said, "I have some inspiration. I took the time to draw it recently."
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. If it really doesn't work, forget it. The two little things in your belly are the most important." Zhou Hui reminded him with a smile, and then said, "By the way, your eldest brother has been busy recently and doesn't have time to come over. She asked me to tell you that there are still three companies that have not settled the balance of the shirt you designed in the first quarter. When the settlement is completed, I will get the design fee from you immediately. " " Aunt, it is not necessary for my family. "
"If you don't take it, how will your eldest brother and sister-in-law be embarrassed to let you help with design in the future? Just keep it when your eldest brother gets the money. From now on, the family will only have to rely on you and Xiaonan. How much money will you and Xiaobei spend studying? It’s a small amount of money, but two children will cost a lot of money.”
In the afternoon, Ning Xi had some free time, and Lu Nan stopped going to the production room to help. Instead, he and Ning Xi spent the afternoon grinding medicinal materials in the main room.
Seemingly seeing through Ning Xi’s bad mood these past two days, after dinner, Lu Nan asked Ning Xi to push him out for a walk.
There were not many pedestrians on the quiet street except those sitting at the door to enjoy the cool air. Ning Xi pushed her wheelchair and walked slowly, her irritable mood slowly calmed down because she had been with him all afternoon.
“Have you thought about it?” Lu Nan suddenly raised his head and looked at her.
"What?"
“Child’s name.”
Lu Nan mentioned the matter of asking Ning Xi to name the child a long time ago, but she didn't ask about it after that, and she never mentioned it again.
“How about the boy’s name is Lu Jinnian and the girl’s name is Lu Jin’er?”
"What do Nian'er and Jin'er mean?" Lu Nan asked Jin'er this question in his previous life. He always felt that these two names had some meaning. He asked Jin'er, but he couldn't get any answer from Jin'er. .
“The brocade harp has fifty strings for no reason, each string and one pillar reminds me of my good years.”
Lu Nan thought about it for a while before remembering that this poem came from "Jin Se." 》
There are many opinions about this poem. Some people say that this poem is about the love poem of a maid named Jinse. Some people say that it is about seeing things and thinking about people. Some people say that it is a mourning poem for his late wife Wang.
Lu Nan lowered his head with a flash of heartache in his eyes. If he hadn't been so sentimental, the daughter-in-law named the two of them with this poem was to commemorate her love that had not yet begun, and to express her longing for him.
“Ning Xi.”
Ning Xi stopped and trembled unconsciously, "Don't like it?"
He hasn't called him by his full name for a long time. Is it because he is unhappy with the names she gave to the two children?
"It's not that I don't like it, I just suddenly thought of a question." Lu Nan turned his wheelchair and looked up at her. "Everyone's name has a certain meaning, just like the names you gave your two children, just like my own name. "
