80s Military Accompanying: The Heirless Tycoon Pampers His Pregnant Wife

"I……"

Shen Fenghe instinctively wanted to nod in agreement. She had taught herself a great deal of medical knowledge and had always wanted to find an opportunity to put it into practice. Now that an olive branch had been offered to her, she was tempted, but she did not take any action.

Because she knows her own limitations.

"What kind of surgery is it? What does the assistant need to do?"

"What? You're too scared to come?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Li raised an eyebrow and glanced at her, immediately adopting a superior attitude, raising her chin high, "Don't you consider yourself a highly skilled doctor?"

Shen Fenghe ignored her fabricated stories and said truthfully, "I studied traditional Chinese medicine, and my family has been practicing it for generations. I don't have much contact with Western medicine and don't know how Western surgery is performed, but I know that even the smallest surgery involves incisions, so we can't be careless."

"You're just not good enough! You keep bragging to everyone that you're a great doctor, it's hilarious." Yu Li sneered, hands on her hips.

"Um, I'm sorry, I can't help you." Shen Fenghe nodded apologetically to her and continued walking.

Actually, she had a little regret. Although Yu Li clearly wanted to see her make a fool of herself, it was also a learning opportunity. Unfortunately, using a knife was no small matter, and even if she was just an assistant, she didn't dare to show off her skills.

"Eh..."

Upon seeing this, Yu Li was stunned. Watching her unhurried departure, she suddenly felt as if she had punched a piece of cotton.

Powerless, resentful.

"Those who are self-taught still can't compare to those who have formally attended school."

Shen Fenghe was oblivious to the glares coming from behind her. She picked at her nails, furrowing her brow and frowning.

As she volunteered this time, watching those professional military doctors treat the wounded, she felt more and more that her own skills were only... well?

As she passed a shed where villagers were being housed, she suddenly noticed an old man puffing on his pipe and rubbing his lower back a few times. His face was contorted in pain. She turned and went inside. "Uncle, does your back hurt?"

"what?"

The old man put down his pipe, looked up at her, and said, "It's an old problem, probably caused by the rain these past few days."

"Let me give you a massage," Shen Fenghe said, rubbing her palms together.

The old man sized her up; she seemed to be a volunteer from the military region. He smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, young comrade."

"No trouble at all. Let's find an empty bed, or a long bench that we can lie on." Shen Fenghe looked around and quickly borrowed two long benches from another shed, putting them together for the old man to lie on.

"Besides your back pain, where else does it hurt?"

While massaging the old man's back, she asked him another question.

She speculated that the old man's back pain might be caused by rheumatism. In the humid mountainous areas, back pain, leg pain, and knee pain are very common, especially among the elderly.

The old man pointed out several areas that often hurt, and Shen Fenghe massaged them one by one.

She doesn't know how to perform Western surgery, but she is skilled in traditional Chinese massage.

Her mood suddenly improved, and she asked, "Are you considering rebuilding our village on higher ground in the future?"

The old man shook his head, "If we moved to higher ground, it wouldn't be called a mountain village anymore."

"Aren't you afraid of encountering another mudslide if you keep living in this remote mountain village?" Shen Fenghe asked, frowning.

The old man said casually, "Mudslides happen every year, so we worship the Earth God every year. This year, we probably didn't worship sincerely enough, which is why it's so serious. In previous years, it only reached my thighs at most."

Shen Fenghe was speechless.

It's already quite serious if the mud hasn't reached your thighs or stomach, okay?

She has some knowledge about mudslides. "Mudslides are most likely to occur in mountainous areas with steep terrain, loose soil and rocks, and sparse vegetation. My hometown falls into the first and third categories. Later, it was only through afforestation that the situation gradually improved. In recent years, there have been no large mudslides in the summer."

"If you don't want to move, then plant more trees."

"Hehe... I didn't expect you to know so much at such a young age," the old man praised with a smile.

Shen Fenghe smiled but remained silent.

Although she was young, she had lived two lives, and her life experience and social skills naturally surpassed those of many of her peers. Therefore, she saw through Yu Li's little tricks but did not expose them.

"Young comrade, tell me, what kind of trees are suitable to plant in our village?"

Seeing the old man and the young man chatting happily, another old man in the stall came over with a smile to join in the fun.

"We prioritize local tree species. There's a saying in my hometown that 'outsiders are better at chanting sutras.' Outsider saplings don't grow well because they're not used to the climate and soil, and their root systems are hindered from recovering..." Shen Fenghe explained slowly.

She chatted animatedly with the villagers, completely forgetting Ye Zhengting, who was still alone in his empty tent.

Da da da—

Ye Zhengting tapped his fingers on the edge of the bed, his brows furrowed so deeply they formed a deep frown.

Suddenly he saw someone passing by outside the tent, and he hurriedly called out, "Comrade, please come in for a moment."

"Commander, what are your orders?" One of his soldiers entered.

Ye Zhengting sat upright and asked casually, "Xiao Wang, have you seen Shen Fenghe?"

Xiao Wang thought back for a moment, "I think I glanced at it, at the head of a shed where villagers were being housed."

"What is she doing there?" Ye Zhengting asked curiously.

Xiao Wang thought back for a moment, "She was probably giving massages to the villagers. There were a lot of people gathered around. I overheard them when I passed by, and they were all praising the head of the group's wife for her excellent skills, lining up to have her give them a massage."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhengting couldn't help but smile, though he didn't realize it himself.

"Where's Zhu Jing? Is she there joining in the fun too?"

Xiao Wang shook his head, "Sister Piggy went out with Vice Director Lu a long time ago, saying they were going to fetch water from a nearby clean body of water."

"She really can't stay still for a moment," Ye Zhengting said with a playful laugh.

"Commander, should I call your wife back?" Xiao Wang asked tentatively.

Although Ye Zhengting didn't say it, he could still sense that his commander was missing his beloved wife.

"No need." Ye Zhengting shook his head without even thinking.

"Oh." Xiao Wang misunderstood, bowed to him, and then turned and left.

"etc!"

Just as he was about to lift the tent flap, Ye Zhengting suddenly called out to him, "Go and tell Shen Fenghe to find me a walking stick when she comes back. If she doesn't have a walking stick, a handy wooden stick will do."

"Yes, Commander!" Xiao Wang replied immediately.

"The commander still misses his wife. Finding the cane was just an excuse; he's actually reminding her to go home soon!"

Stepping outside the tent, he chuckled to himself, convinced he had figured out his superior's thoughts.

Immediately, he ran to the shed where Shen Fenghe was and relayed Ye Zhengting's words to her, adding a special note: "Madam Commander, the Commander misses you."

Shen Fenghe's lips twitched. This soldier's comprehension was terrible. "He wants me to help him find his cane" and "He wants me" are clearly two different things.

"Looking for a walking stick?"

Xiao Wang's words were overheard by Yu Li, who was hiding in a corner spying on him.

She had already finished that minor surgery. As soon as she stepped out of the tent, she heard that Shen Fenghe was once again making a spectacle of herself in front of others, so she came over to watch the show. Unexpectedly, she learned that Ye Zhengting wanted to find a cane.

Her eyes lit up, and a smile played on her lips. "Isn't this a golden opportunity that's just fallen into our laps?"
