Xiang Shichu and Ye Jin's family of three went to Nanjiang, which made the neighbors very envious and curious. They all asked Xiang Shichu about their itinerary, what was the difference between Nanjiang and their own place, and what other interesting attractions there were...
Xiang Shichu didn't expect everyone to be so curious about their outing this time, but then he thought about it. The concept of tourism had not yet emerged at this time. Unless there was a compelling reason, people generally did not travel far. Some people just lived their whole lives. Within a radius of one to twenty miles with home as the center, people naturally become curious about the outside world.
Suddenly, their family became a famous figure in the neighborhood. Even Ye Jin, who was taciturn and seldom interacted with others, was pulled over by a neighbor man for questioning. And the child Xiang Nan could not escape and was chased by his playmates. Asking what fun and delicious food there is in Nanjiang is what Xiang Nan is most concerned about. He has a good memory, so he proudly brags to his playmates and soon becomes the youngest child.
Jiang Yong and Jiang Yi of the Jiang family were several years older than him, and they couldn't help coming over to listen to him show off. The relationship between the Jiang family and the Ye family had always been awkward. Of course, this was a unilateral confrontation between Jiang Rusong and Wu Qingxuan against Ye Jin and Xiang. The awkwardness at the beginning also affected Jiang Yong and Jiang Yi's feelings for Xiang Nan.
Many times, Jiang Yong and Jiang Yi were very envious of Xiang Nan, because Xiang Nan followed his brother-in-law and sister, had meat for three meals a day, and had many toys, and his requirements were basically met. They look like much-loved children, but what about themselves?
For ten days and a half, they couldn't see a scrap of meat, and their family wouldn't give them a penny of pocket money. They had to be scolded by their father and accused by their stepmother from time to time with sad eyes... Such a life, even at a young age. , they already feel depressed.
They often can't help but think: How wonderful it would be if their parents were their neighbors, Uncle Ye and Aunt Xiang. Both of them are respected cultural figures, earn a lot of money, have good tempers, and treat their children well. They are also very doting, this is simply the parent that all children want most.
It's a pity that in reality, their father is a man with disabled legs, their biological mother ran away with someone, and their stepmother is hypocritical and sows discord between them and their father on a daily basis...
After listening to Xiang Nan's show off, Jiang Yong and Jiang Yi returned home and saw Wu Qingxuan bringing out the food. Seeing that the two brothers were back, they gave a cautious and flattering smile and said, "You are back just in time. It’s time to eat.”
Jiang Yong clicked his tongue impatiently. This stepmother is here again. She treats herself so carefully, as if she has been wronged. She is so hypocritical, doesn't she just make her father think that she has bullied her? So scheming!
Jiang Rusong saw the two of them and asked seriously: "Where have you two been playing? As soon as school is over, you don't know where to sneak away to play. Don't you know how to come back and help the family with some work?"
"Dad, we are looking for Xiang Nan. He and his sister and brother-in-law went to Nanjiang to play and took a long train. Dad, have you been to Nanjiang? Xiang Nan said that you can take a boat there and float on the water. Oh, it's so fun!" Jiang Yi happily shared with Jiang Rusong the news about Nanjiang he heard from Xiang Nan.
He chattered a lot, and finally asked Jiang Rusong expectantly: "Dad, can we also go to Nanjiang to play?"
Jiang Rusong opened his mouth and looked into his bright eyes. He didn't know how to answer him. Finally, Jiang Yong patted his brother on the head and said, "What do you think? Our family doesn't have money to play!"
He is already seven or eight years old and knows the situation at home. He will not be as naive as Jiang Yi.
When Jiang Yi heard what he said, he was very disappointed and asked without giving up: "Dad, when will you be rich?"
Jiang Rusong smiled bitterly and said, "When dad's leg heals, he can make money."
"When will Dad's legs heal?" Jiang Yi looked at his legs curiously and continued to ask.
"Dad doesn't know either." Jiang Rusong sighed.
Wu Qingxuan suddenly became excited. She had been married to Jiang Rusong for two or three years. His leg should be healed soon, right? Then will I be able to get rid of this difficult situation soon and become a pampered lady?
Her numb face suddenly became excited, and her dim eyes immediately lit up: Will the happiness she dreamed of finally come?
After finishing dinner and finishing housework, Wu Qingxuan finally had time to ask Jiang Rusong: "Rusong, how is your leg lately? Is it still uncomfortable? Do you want to go to the hospital again?"
"It still hurts. It used to be sore in rainy weather, but now it starts to hurt even on sunny days, and it's getting more and more painful. I suspect that the condition of my legs is more serious." Jiang Rusong touched his legs, brows He said tightly that he now has to bear the pain in his legs almost every day, which makes him unable to eat and sleep well, making him look haggard and old for several years.
"Then you should go to the hospital for treatment." Wu Qingxuan quickly advised, if Jiang Rusong doesn't go to the hospital for treatment, when will his leg be cured?
"But the situation at home..." Jiang Rusong smiled bitterly, "Where is the spare money for me to see a doctor?"
Wu Qingxuan disagreed with what he said: "Rusong, how can I save money on seeing your legs? If you really care about your legs and your body recovers, won't you be able to find a job and make real money? By then, you can see a doctor You can definitely earn back your money, this is a very profitable business.”
Jiang Rusong was not as optimistic as she was: "What if my leg is not cured after spending money? Wouldn't it make the family worse? Jiang Yong and Jiang Yi still have to go to school..."
"Impossible! Your legs can definitely be cured!" Wu Qingxuan retorted without thinking. Didn't Jiang Rusong in her dream heal her legs? Now it will definitely be cured, she has no doubt about it.
Seeing that she was so sure, Jiang Rusong suddenly had some expectations in his heart. After all, who doesn't hope that he can be a healthy person and get rid of pain?
So sure enough, he half-heartedly agreed to use the remaining money at home to go to the hospital to continue treating his leg injury. It couldn't be cured a few years ago, but now that medicine has developed a bit, maybe there is a way? Or maybe a more skilled doctor came to the hospital? Jiang Rusong thought with good hope.
The couple found time to actually go to the hospital to check Jiang Rusong's legs.
As expected, Jiang Rusong met Dr. Wang, a highly skilled surgical expert. Dr. Wang had retired. Before his retirement, he was a specialist at Beijing Hospital. After his retirement, his employer wanted to rehire him, but when he was young, he neglected his only daughter for work. Now he is retired. I wanted to spend more time with my daughter, so I went to the place where my daughter and son-in-law worked and accepted a re-employment from the local hospital, which was the hospital where Jiang Rusong went.
