Chapter 272 Could it be too coincidental

In the early morning, Ning Xi woke up amidst a lot of noise. Lu Nan took her to wash up and came back. Lu Bei had already bought breakfast.

The four sat on the edge of the bed and drank porridge.

The little boy opposite woke up. The old lady took out a dry cornbread from the cloth bag and handed it to the little boy.

Ning Xiuhe poured out some porridge and handed it to the old lady, "Madam give the child some porridge so you don't choke on it."

The old lady hurriedly refused, "No need, you can let us sleep here, we are already very embarrassed, how can we eat your food anymore."

Ning Xiuhe forced the porridge into the child's hand, "Take it! There is so much porridge, we couldn't finish it."

"Thank you, auntie." The little boy thanked obediently, bowed his head and took a sip of porridge, before Ning Xiuhe could sit back, the little boy suddenly vomited while lying on the bedside.

"What's the matter?" Ning Xiuhe looked worried, she just gave the child porridge, why did the child vomit.

"It's okay, it's okay." The old lady patted the child's back lightly while explaining, "This child is sick and will vomit from time to time. It has nothing to do with the porridge."

After vomiting for a while, the child stopped vomiting. The old lady wiped the child's mouth with a handkerchief, and went to the toilet to get a broom and dustpan to clean up the mess on the floor.

Apologize to several people while cleaning, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

"No trouble, mother-in-law, don't worry about it, child! It's inevitable." Ning Xi quickly comforted the old lady.

Ning Xiuhe glanced at the busy old lady, then at the pale boy, and said to Ning Xi in a low voice, "Xi'er, or you can show this child, if it can be cured, you can help."

Ning Xi nodded in agreement.

Lu Nan handed Ning Xi a steamed bun, "Eat breakfast first."

"Okay." Ning Xi took the steamed bun and ate it slowly.

Before Ning Xi finished his meal, Ning Xiuhe had already chatted with the old lady.

"Ma'am, are you taking your grandson to see a doctor?"

"It's not a grandson, it's a great-grandson. I want to take him to the capital to find his father to see a doctor for this child. This child has been sick for a while. I ask someone to write to his father to let him go home or send some money home to the child. Seeing a doctor, there is no news at all, and I have no choice but to take him to find his father."

Ning Xiuhe continued to ask, "Ma'am, have you taken the child to see it? What is the disease?"

"The town hospital said that it was purple or something. I don't know about it. I only know that the child's body is red all over. From time to time, he complains of stomach pain, pain in his hands and feet, and sometimes vomits. They said their hospital can't cure them. It is said that it will cost a lot of money to go to a big hospital for treatment.”

"Let me take a look." Ning Xi just finished breakfast, walked over and sat down by the bed, rolled up the child's sleeves, the child's arms were indeed red all over the place, "This is allergic purpura, little brother, call your hands and feet Do these positions hurt when it hurts?"

Ning Xi pinched the joints on the child's hands and feet.

The little boy nodded hurriedly, "Well! These are the places that hurt."

Seeing Ning Xi's understanding expression, the old lady hurriedly asked, "Girl, are you a doctor?"

"I'm a Chinese medicine practitioner." Ning Xi asked Lu Nan to drag out the box under the bed. She found a bottle of medicine from the box and took out one and handed it to the old lady, "Grandma, this medicine can't cure his illness, but it can Make him feel better, and he shouldn't be throwing up afterwards."

The old lady didn't take the pill immediately, and said a little embarrassedly, "Thank you, girl, but I have no money."

Ning Xi smiled and waved his hands, "It's okay, this medicine is my gift to the child."

The old lady hurriedly shook her head, "How can this work?"

"Take it, ma'am! I just want to help out because of the pitifulness of this child." Ning Xi stuffed the pill into the old lady's hand.

Maybe it was because Ning Xi and the others didn't look like bad guys and they kept taking care of them. The old lady didn't have any doubts about Ning Xi's medicine, and after thanking her, she took the medicine and fed it to the little boy. "Ma'am, can you leave me an address?" I found the child's father and asked him to send you the money."

Ning Xi smiled and waved his hands, "No need, these medicines are made by myself, they are worthless."

The old lady still insisted, "No way, the child's father is a soldier, and soldiers don't take needles from the masses. We can't let the child's father make mistakes."

"Then I can't take your money for this medicine. My husband is also a soldier. This medicine should be a gift from their comrades in arms. I can cure this child's illness. If my mother-in-law believes in me, I will leave you an address. Come to me with your child, and I will treat him."

"Okay, then thank you, girl." The old lady thanked her, and then looked at Lu Nan, "Comrade soldier, do you know where Unit 718 is?"

"I'm in Unit 718, mother-in-law, is this child's father also from Unit 718? Tell me what the child's father's name is, maybe I know him."

"My grandson's name is Chen Hongbo."

Lu Nan was stunned for a while, then suddenly looked at the little boy, "This kid's name is..."

"Chen Lin."

Lu Nan looked at the little boy with a strange expression, and didn't speak for a while.

Seeing Lu Nan's appearance, the old lady thumped in her heart, and asked in a trembling voice, "Could it be my grandson, my grandson..."

"No, I'm just remembering." Lu Nan came back to his senses, "Chen Hongbo and I are not in the same battalion, but I have met him a few times, he should be in the fifth battalion."

The old lady said again, "Can you tell me how to get to Unit 718?"

Lu Nan said with a smile, "Mother-in-law, you can come with us, and I will send you there when the time comes."

"Will it be too much trouble for you?"

"No, I was going back to the army too."

Hearing what Lu Nan said, the old lady felt relieved.

After that, Ning Xiuhe chatted with the old lady for a while, and the situation of Chen Hongbo's family was very bad.

Chen Hongbo's parents died when he was very young. Chen Hongbo went to the army when he was 17 years old. Six years ago, the family saved some money to find a wife for Chen Hongbo. Not long after they got married, they had a child. Around the age of [-], Chen Hongbo's daughter-in-law left because Chen Hongbo was not at home all year round, and the child could only be taken care of by the old lady and his wife.

Maybe it was because Chen Hongbo and Lu Nan were in the same army, or maybe he felt that this child was too pitiful, so Lu Nan bought an extra meal at noon and invited the old lady to eat with them.

After lunch, Lu Nan dragged Ning Xi to go to the toilet together. After she entered the toilet, Lu Nan took a cigarette to the smoking area and smoked.

Ning Xi came out of the toilet and walked towards him.

Lu Nan took her into his arms and continued to smoke one mouthful after another.

"What's the matter, ever since you found out that the child is the child of your comrade-in-arms, you've been acting weird." She saw Lu Nan look at the child with strange eyes several times, as if he was a little annoyed, and also seemed to be gnashing his teeth.

Lu Nan exhaled a puff of smoke, and whispered in Ning Xi's ear, "Chen Lin is Jin'er's future husband."

"What?" Ning Xi stared at Lu Nan with wide eyes.

That little guy is actually her future husband, Jin'er.

Could this be too much of a coincidence?

Lu Nan sighed, "Oh! Why did I meet this kid?"

"You don't like him?" Ning Xi frowned worriedly, "Is there something wrong with him? Or is it that he is not good to Jin'er?"
