Chapter 19 Helping him heal his legs
Wang Xiuqin didn't object, and Zhang Ying certainly wouldn't, but "I think it's okay to try. Of course, I still have to discuss such a big matter with your second brother. He has to make up his mind about family matters."

Ning Xi also knew that she needed to discuss with Lu Nan about doing business, and she couldn't make a decision by herself, so she didn't say much.

After the men in the room finished drinking, Ning Xi helped put the bowls and chopsticks into the kitchen.

Only now did Lu Xu notice that Ning Xi was limping and asked, "What's wrong with Ning Xi's legs?"

Lu Nan was very helpless when he said this, "I was kicked by her father, this girl is restless, she dragged her legs on the first day and went to the mountains to collect herbs on the second day, for a few days in a row, and then Having a big fight with the Ning family resulted in a leg injury that hasn't healed yet."

"What happened to her family?" Lu Xu rarely went back to the village, so naturally he didn't know what happened in the village.

Lu He told Lu Xu what happened these days, and Lu Xu frowned, "Is there something wrong with Ning Dalong and the others? That's their biological daughter, how could they do this."

Lu Nan responded lightly, "Probably not his own."

"It's not her own, but can it be picked?" Secretary Lu glanced at Lu Nan, "Ning Dalong and the others have treated this girl badly since they were young. They either beat or scolded her. They thought they would be better when they grow up, but in the end... …well!"

Wang Xiuqin was still wiping the table. Hearing what they said, she couldn't help but also said, "If everyone hadn't seen Liu Shufang's pregnancy, we would really suspect that this girl was not their own. How could there be such cruel parents? He even used his own child as a cow."

"Did Grandma Wang help deliver the baby at that time?" In the past six or so years, all the children born in the village were looking for midwives. Grandma Wang, who is almost 90 years old, was the midwife in the village. Most of the villagers in their generation It was Mrs. Wang who gave birth.

Wang Xiuqin shook her head, "It wasn't Mrs. Wang who picked her up. Liu Shufang happened to be at her mother's house when she gave birth to Ning Xi. She should have been picked up by the midwife from our village."

Lu Nan took a sip of warm water from his teacup, but did not continue to ask. Wang Xiuqin also went back to the house to make a bed. Lu Xu must not be able to drive back to town after drinking at night.

The moonlight came in through the window, brightly illuminating the room. Lu Nan had just returned from the shower and was wiping his short hair with a towel. Ning Xi brought a pot of medicinal juice into the room and placed it in front of him to "soak his feet."

Ning Xi sat on a small stool and put Lu Nan's feet in the basin, then poured the potion on his calves with his hands.

The potion in the basin was no longer very hot, Ning Xi helped Lu Nan dry his feet.

"Brother Nan, take off your trousers and lie down, and I'll give you an injection." Ning Xi took out the silver needles she just bought, and carefully sterilized the needles.

After the disinfection, she turned around holding the silver needle, her face changed uncontrollably, and her eyes shrank accordingly.

The skin on the outside of his right thigh, from the crotch to the knee, could hardly find a piece of good skin, and it was covered with hideous scars.

It was a burn, and there were three circular scars in the burn, which should be gunshot wounds.

"scared?"

His cold voice pulled her back from the shock, walked to her side, found the acupuncture point accurately, disinfected it with a cotton swab, and then inserted the silver needle gently.

"It must have hurt at the time." Ning Xi's voice trembled a little, this was the first time she saw his injury, and her heart was very painful.

"Hmm! It hurts."

"How did it hurt?" Asked the question, Ning Xi wanted to bite off her tongue, she shouldn't let him recall that painful memory.

"I was pressed against my thigh with a gun by the enemy, and the bullet penetrated directly from my right leg to my left leg."

So the burns in that area were high-temperature burns from the muzzle of the gun. His legs lost feeling and he couldn't stand up. It should be that the nerves in his legs were injured by the bullets.

Plunging the last silver needle into the acupuncture point, Ning Xi hurriedly turned around, and the tears that she had held back for a long time slid down her eyelids.

He took her hand and comforted softly, "Don't be sad, it doesn't hurt anymore."

Of course it didn't hurt. I lost all feeling in my leg, so it's strange if it hurts.

Ning Xi raised her hand to wipe away her tears, "I'll make you a scar removal cream another day."

"En!" Lu Nan replied indifferently, the soldier had no scars on his body, they didn't care about these, and were even proud of the scars on his body, but if she cared, he could cooperate.

In order to keep him from thinking about those bad memories, Ning Xi changed the subject and told Lu Nan about the idea of ​​pulling Zhang Ying into business.

After she finished speaking, Lu Nan was silent for a while before asking, "Why do you want to do business with the second brother and the second sister-in-law?"

"I'm going back to school. I'll take them to make some money together. When I go back to school, they can continue to do this business. My second uncle and aunt are kind to you, and I have to help you repay them."

Lu Nan reached out and wiped Ning Xi's head, what more could a husband like him ask for.

After taking the silver needle, Ning Xi lay beside Lu Nan.

This didn't require her to take the initiative, he had already embraced her in his arms, shaking the fan with one hand, and gently patted her back with the other, coaxing her to sleep.

I don't know if it was because of the coaxing, she fell asleep quickly again.

He lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead, his obsidian eyes looked at the little daughter-in-law in his arms gently.

Little daughter-in-law, you have exposed your secrets.

Those memories are painful, and I will slowly erase them for you.

*
In the morning, Lu Nan cooked lean meat and vegetable porridge. Just as the couple sat down to eat, Lu He and Zhang Ying came over. Their purpose was very clear. They wanted to start the business of small dried fish and spicy strips with Ning Xi.

During breakfast, the four of them finalized the business.

Ning Xi stayed at home and taught Lu Nan how to make spicy noodles, while Lu He and Zhang Ying took Lu Lin and Lu Bei out to fish.

After Lu Nan learned, Ning Xi took Lu Xu's car to the market to buy a bunch of seasonings. Before dinner, Ning Xi took Zhang Ying to get busy in the kitchen. Tell Zhang Ying, also told Zhang Ying a lot of points.

All these are handed over to Zhang Ying, and Zhang Ying and his wife can continue to do this business when she returns to school after school starts.

A pot of fragrant and spicy dried fish and spicy strips came out of the pot, and the faces of several people were full of smiles. Tomorrow they will be able to make money from these spicy dried fish.

The duration of midsummer is longer than other seasons, and the morning is also brighter earlier. At 5 o'clock in the morning, the night is slowly replaced by day, and there is a green light on the top and pink on the bottom in the east.

Ning Xi was awakened by the sound of pots and pans, she sat up and glanced at her pocket watch, it was 5 o'clock in the morning.

At this moment, Lu Nan was no longer in the room, so he never called her.

After a brief wash, Ning Xi walked into the kitchen. Lu Nan had already put the porridge on the table to cool, and was frying pickles.

What time does he get up to make breakfast?

"Brother Nan, you don't have to wake up so early. I'll just eat whatever I want in the morning."

"Breakfast can't be left alone." Lu Nan put the pickles on the table, "Eat breakfast first."

Lu Nan pushed the wheelchair out, took the back basket that was cleaned last night, put it on the oil paper pad, and put all the dried fish in it.

Zhang Ying and Lu He soon came over. Zhang Ying was also carrying a pannier lined with oiled paper. Ning Xi didn’t make many spicy strips, not even half of the pan. Knowing that Ning Xi’s legs were not fully healed, Zhang Ying took the initiative Carry the pannier with small dried fish on its back.
