Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 144 Innocence
She should actually exchange the house in Yard No. 30 with someone privately instead of exchanging it with the Street Office for the current one.

The ownership of this house is still in the hands of the Cai family, so it will definitely be a troublesome thing in the future.

Now that things have come to this, the house in Yard 31 has been arranged by the Street Office for other people to live in. Li Yancheng certainly can't say anything anymore, and can only feel sorry for Fan Chunmei in his heart.

The cry of Jin Zhihai's son Xiao Pengpeng was like an emergency assembly call in the army. As soon as it sounded, Jin Zhihai jumped up as if he was electrocuted and ran back in two steps.

After he left, Lu Junmin and Li Yancheng were not familiar with each other yet, so after talking for a few more words, he also said goodbye and went back home.

Li Yancheng was left alone. He looked at the main house with some envy, then at Fan Chunmei's house in the east wing and the south room. At this moment, he wanted to find a partner again.

As soon as this thought came to his mind, a heavy object suddenly pressed down on his back, immediately disrupting his thoughts.

"Hurry up and get off Ningning. You are such a grown-up girl and you are jumping on my back. Aren't you ashamed?"

Without looking back, Li Yancheng knew who was causing trouble just by the faint smell lingering around his nose.

There will be no one else except Jin Wenning.

"Hey, Dacheng, the pants you connected for me last night were just right. You can't even tell that they were connected later."

"How's it going? Your level is pretty high, isn't it?"

"Yeah, even better than my sister-in-law."

"Ahem... Ningning, I heard you saying bad things about me behind my back. Hey... you little girl, get off your brother Dacheng's back quickly, what a mess you make."

Before Ningning finished her words, Xing Lihua just happened to come out of the main room after pulling aside the curtain, and heard everything clearly.

He raised his eyes and saw his sister-in-law climbing on Li Yancheng's back. He didn't bother to say anything about her making up stories, and quickly changed his words and asked her to get down.

This scene gave Xing Lihua a headache. She found that her sister-in-law seemed to be getting more and more attached to Dacheng.

It is true that Dacheng raised his sister-in-law and she is no different from his biological brother, but she is not his biological brother after all. Moreover, even if she is, they cannot be so close now that she is a grown-up.

She is just a sister-in-law. Although the elder sister-in-law is like a mother, but... Alas, if there is something she really doesn't know how to say it.

Seeing her sister-in-law coming out of the house, little Ningning stuck out her tongue, jumped off Dacheng's back obediently, and ran back to her own house.

She ran away, and Li Yancheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. As this girl grew older, she still acted so intimate with him like a child, and he really felt a little overwhelmed.

"Dacheng"

"Hey"

"I heard from Zhihai that you were going to make a new dress for Ningning?"

"Yes, I still have some cloth. I haven't made new clothes for Ningning for two or three years. She's growing fast now, and the clothes and pants she had are too small. If I don't make them, she won't be able to wear them. So I plan to make her a new set. Isn't it just in time for the New Year soon?"

"Thank you for making you worry about Ningning."

"Why are you being polite? You still have a little one, and I have nothing to do."

Xing Lihua glanced at the room where his sister-in-law lived and saw that the door was closed, so he walked over to Li Yancheng, sat on another bench, and said in a low voice: "Dacheng, I don't mean anything else, I just feel... I feel... Oh, I don't know how to say it."

At this point she didn't know how to continue, and she hemmed and hawed for a long time without getting a clear answer.

Seeing her like this, Li Yancheng smiled faintly.

"I know what you want to say. Ningning is grown up now. She really can't ask me to carry her on my back or hug her like she did when she was little. Don't worry, I will pay more attention to this aspect in the future. If she does that again, I will chase her away immediately."

Seeing that the smile on Li Yancheng's face did not seem fake, Xing Lihua's originally uneasy heart finally relaxed a little.

She knew very well that if she were to compare her importance in her sister-in-law's heart with that of the man in front of her, she would definitely not be able to compare.

After all, I was really brought up by you since you were a child.

She didn't want to compete with him, she just felt that it was not appropriate for men and women to touch each other, so they should be careful.

She even felt that if her sister-in-law was over 18 years old now, she would support the two of them getting together without any hesitation.

What kind of person is this man in front of them? As they live in the same yard, they, his friends and neighbors, can see it all.

"Thank you Dacheng. When girls grow up, they need to be taken care of more than boys."

"You're right, Lihua. If you have anything to say in the future, just tell me directly. There's no need to be shy. There aren't so many twists and turns between Zhihai and me."

"Okay, oh, I won't tell you anymore. Zhihai asked me to change the coal in the stove and I forgot."

"Wait a minute, I'll get you something."

Li Yancheng suddenly remembered that he still had a can of milk powder in his warehouse. How long would he wait if he didn't give it to him?

Calling Xing Lihua who was about to leave, he stood up and walked into the house, turned around and walked out again, handing the jar in his hand over.

"Here, I asked someone to get a can of milk replacer for my godson."

"Haha, the person you asked is really capable. He can even get this."

When Xing Lihua heard that it was milk powder substitute, he was immediately delighted. The supply of this thing was very strict and it was supplied with tickets. Children under two years old were only given one kilogram per month. The street office would issue an invoice, and they could buy it at the supply and marketing cooperatives or department stores with the tickets.

The ticket from the street office is issued by the district. Only when a newborn is registered in your jurisdiction will they be issued to you on a monthly basis. Once a newborn is over two years old, it will be gone immediately.

Even if Xing Lihua worked in a department store, there was no way he could get more of this stuff.

But she didn't have to worry about her son being hungry, because her granary was still well stocked, otherwise the boy wouldn't have grown up to be so strong and chubby.

This milk substitute and the less than one pound of milk distributed by the street office every day are just supplements for children.

This three-pound can of milk powder is enough for the kid to drink for a long time.

"When Ming Pengpeng grows up, let him be filial to you as his godfather."

"I'll bring back some meat and vegetables in a few days, and ask Brother Lu next door to show us how to cook a few dishes. We can sit together and go through the formalities so that your son can officially recognize me."

"No problem, Zhihai told me everything. I won't tell you anymore. It's okay for your brother to hold the child for a while, but if it takes too long, he will definitely want another..."

"Rika...Rika..."

Before he could finish his words, Jin Zhihai's voice came from the main house, and Li Yancheng burst out laughing.

This seems to be a common problem for many men. It's not that they don't want to hold their children more, but they are just worried that they might make their children uncomfortable or something.

It would be fine if the child's mother is always around, but once she is not around, the child will definitely cry out. Some people hold the child as if they are holding a landmine, and they are so cautious.

"Hahaha...alright, hurry up and go in. If not, bring the child to me later. I'll play with him for a while."

This suggestion made Xing Lihua's eyes light up. She was just planning to boil some water on the stove to wipe her body. Her mother had been taking care of the children during the day, and she had just asked her mother to go to bed early.

It's not time for her kid to go to bed yet, he still needs to play for a while, Jin Zhihai can't take care of him alone, last night she saw Li Yancheng holding the child, he was so professional, even she, a mother, couldn't compare to him, and he was a doctor...

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll ask Zhihai to bring the child over."

After saying that, she ran back to her home without even picking up the coal she had come out to pick up.

As soon as she left, Ningning opened the door of her room a crack, poked her head out from behind the curtain, and called softly, "Brother Dacheng..."

"Huh? What for?"

"I heard everything you said to my sister-in-law."

"I heard it, what's the matter?"

"Brother Dacheng, are you going to draw a line between you and me?"

I don’t know if she was pretending or what, but when this girl pouted her lips, it was as if her eyes were filled with water and she looked like she could cry at any time.

Li Yancheng rolled his eyes helplessly. This girl was great at making trouble, especially taking advantage of the fact that she could cry immediately after being told to. This always worked in front of him and her brother.

"Okay, my comrade Ningning, stop playing tricks on me. I don't believe you don't understand what I said to your sister-in-law."

As he said that, Li Yancheng stood up and prepared to go into the house to wait. He could stand the cold outside, but he didn't dare to stay outside with the child in his arms.

As soon as I stood up, Jin Zhihai had already lifted the door curtain and came out.

"Dacheng, my wife said you wanted to play with the kids?"

"Yes, bring him to me." "Let me make it clear to you, I have no way to comfort my son when he cries."

"I can coax you without you."

"Just brag, you've never raised a child."

Even as he said this, Jin Zhihai still walked over with the child in his arms, and Li Yancheng had already opened the door curtain to allow him to enter.

"Ningning, come here, why are you still sticking your head out?"

"I'm not going. Brother Dacheng, you're going to draw a line between you and me."

"You said so. If you don't come today, don't come again."

"Then I'd better come. I still want to play with Xiao Pengpeng."

Li Yancheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Little girl, I can't control you anymore."

"What's wrong, Dacheng? I just heard Ningning say something about drawing a clear line. What did she say?"

In the room, seeing Li Yancheng coming in, Jin Zhihai quickly handed the child to him. Even though the child was already four months old, his movements when holding the child were still very stiff, and he always made himself exhausted.

After taking the child, Li Yancheng loosened the quilt that wrapped the child a little and pulled out the child's hands to allow him to move around. When he did this, the child visibly breathed a sigh of relief, as if he suddenly felt relieved.

"Brother, it was my sister-in-law who said that. My sister-in-law asked Brother Dacheng to draw a clear line between us."

"Don't listen to Ningning's nonsense. Lihua saw that she was already so old, but she was always leaning on me. He was worried that others would see her and gossip about her, but she didn't listen. So he told me just now to be more careful in the future."

"That's it?" Jin Zhihai asked speechlessly.

"That's it."

"Hey, Ningning, are you itching for trouble? Is your sister-in-law asking Brother Dacheng to distance himself from you?"

"Hey...hey...but...but...but not letting me get close to Dacheng-ge means that Dacheng-ge and I should draw a line."

"Who said I don't want you to be around Dacheng? I just want you to stop clinging to him like before."

Jin Zhihai knew how capable his sister was, so he poked her forehead with his finger with a doting look on his face.

"Hehe" Ningning rubbed her forehead with a smile, she was not stupid, of course she knew that her sister-in-law said that for her own good, she just felt uncomfortable if she didn't do it.

Now that his brother poked him on the forehead, his eyes immediately became clearer. He turned around and went to play with his little nephew. While playing, he snuggled into Li Yancheng's arms again.

The result was that Li Yancheng held Xiao Pengpeng in one hand and supported Ningning with the other hand to prevent her from falling.

Seeing this scene, Jin Zhihai didn't know what to say except rolling his eyes.

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something. He looked at his good brother Li Yancheng, then at his sister's back, and the same thought as his wife just had emerged in his mind.

It was a pity that his sister was not four or five years older. In that case, he could safely hand his sister over to her hands.

He believed in his brother's character very much, but unfortunately... Alas...

Xiao Pengpeng's giggle woke Jin Zhihai, who was lost in divergent thinking. Seeing his son and sister having so much fun at Li Yancheng's place, he felt that he should do something.

"Dacheng"

"What's wrong?"

"Please teach me how to hold a baby. Every time I hold the little brat, I feel exhausted and my arms ache."

"You are too nervous. He is not that delicate. You don't have to hold him tightly in your arms. If you do that for a long time, your arms will feel uncomfortable and the child will feel uncomfortable too. If a child feels uncomfortable, he will definitely make a fuss. He can't talk, so if you do this..."

Teaching how to hold a baby is easy, right away. Li Yancheng asked Ningning to stand up, moved the chair in front of Jin Zhihai, handed Xiao Pengpeng over again, and taught him how to place his arms, how to use moderate strength, where to hold the baby with the other hand, and so on and so forth…

In just a few words, Jin Zhihai learned most of it. The rest was just practice makes perfect. He held the baby often and got used to it in two days.

Sure enough, this time Xiao Pengpeng did not move around in his father's arms. He even raised his hands to touch Jin Zhihai's face, but he soon stopped touching him.

The little guy was patting and slapping his father's face while giggling and occasionally shouting "ah ah ah". He was so happy.

"Where did you learn how to hold a baby?"

“Isn’t this something that you can learn on your own at that age?” Li Yancheng didn’t know how to explain it. He couldn’t say that he learned it in his previous life, so he could only make it up.

Of course, no one believed this nonsense, and in return the Jin brother and sister all rolled their eyes at him.

"Go away, why can't I get through?"

"Maybe you haven't figured it out yet."

"Li Yancheng, don't force me to drag you out to practice boxing." Jin Zhihai's forehead was full of black lines.

"Hahaha, Ningning, look at your brother. Whenever he can't win an argument with me, he's ready to use his fists to solve the problem."

"Then Dacheng, I will practice with you on behalf of my brother."

"Uh..." This time it was Li Yancheng's turn to have black lines on his forehead.

It's not that he can't beat Ningning in a boxing match. He is very strong now. Just think about it, one elbow can knock out a trained guy. Let alone Ningning, as long as he can withstand Jin Zhihai's beating, it will be no problem to deal with him.

The problem is that he can't use his full strength when practicing boxing with the brother and sister. In terms of skills and boxing routines alone, he certainly can't catch up and can only be bullied.

"Hahaha……"

Seeing his embarrassing look, Ningning laughed happily.

Little Pengpeng in Jin Zhihai's arms was frightened by his aunt's clear laughter. The boy didn't cry. He stared at his aunt who was laughing for a while, then grinned and started laughing.

For a moment, laughter from the north room of the west wing kept floating out from the cracks in the door and windows, attracting the two families in the east wing opposite to climb up the windows to look over here.

Even Xing Lihua, who was wiping his body with the door closed in the main room, felt itchy after hearing his son's laughter. He wanted to finish wiping his body quickly and go over to see what was going on and why his son was so happy.

A child's innocent smile is the easiest to infect others. Looking at the smile on Xiao Pengpeng's face, the two grown men Li Yancheng and Jin Zhihai were unconsciously immersed in it.

"If you like children so much, then hurry up and find a partner and have one yourself."

"When you talk about finding a partner, it's as easy as me going to the store to buy a pack of cigarettes."

"That depends on what you think."

"Okay, brother, I get it. I'll take this to heart."

"I have already given birth to a son. When you get married, give birth to a daughter and she grows up, she will marry my son."

"No problem, let's get closer."

……

On Wednesday, January 22nd, the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, Li Yancheng had just arrived at the office in the morning, fetched a kettle of cold water and sat on the stove when the head of the logistics department, Guo Quan, pushed the door open and walked in, followed by a girl in her early twenties with a cut hair.

"Doctor Li"

"Oh, welcome Chief Guo to come and give us your guidance."

"It's not like I can provide guidance, I'm here to send you an assistant."

Assistant? Li Yancheng set his sights on the girl following behind Guo Quan.

"Doctor Li, let me introduce her to you. Her name is Ren Yunyun. She used to work in our bureau's health room. The three nurses seconded from the department have all returned to the Public Security Hospital. It's hard to find someone right away, so I borrowed Comrade Ren Yunyun to help you first."

"Hello, Doctor Li, my name is Ren Yunyun. Please take care of me in the future." The girl stepped forward from behind Section Chief Guo and extended her right hand towards Li Yancheng with a smile on her face.

"Hello, it's not so much about caring, we learn from each other."

Seeing that the girl had already extended her hand, Li Yancheng stretched out his right hand and gently placed it on her hand, then took it back.

He was a little confused about having an assistant suddenly assigned to him, and having to live under the same roof with a member of the opposite sex really made him feel uncomfortable.

What's even more uncomfortable is that he can't tell why. Anyway, whenever he sees this girl, he feels uncomfortable and has a creepy feeling.

But the people have been sent here, so what else can we do? We can only stay.
