Chapter 23

After cleaning up, Chu Nanzhou went out and brought back a thermos, poured boiling water into the bottle and shook it.

Then put the bottle against your cheek to feel it and make sure the temperature is right before pouring the milk powder in.

This is the time when Xiaobao drinks milk powder.

Chu Nanzhou sat on a stool, bent his fingers, and tapped lightly on the table.

With a cold expression on his face, he looked at Sheng Kangning for a while and said:

“Kang Ning, I hope you will think about going to the countryside seriously. Going to the Great Northern Wilderness is a very difficult thing. The living conditions there are very hard. It is not something you sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls can imagine.

Going to the countryside is also a big event in your life, you have to think about it carefully!

I still suggest that you go to school and continue your studies, so that you can become an expert and contribute to the country. The reason why Grandma Ning asked me to contact you after you turned 18 was because she didn’t expect you to go to the countryside. I think Grandma Ning would definitely want you to stay in the city to work and study.”

In Chu Nanzhou’s eyes, the seventeen-year-old girl in front of him was too young and looked much younger than her actual age.

No wonder Zhou Shen was surprised and didn’t believe it.

When Chu Nanzhou saw Sheng Kangning for the first time, he thought the girl was only about fourteen or fifteen years old.

He is very thin and small, about 1.58 meters tall but less than 1.6 meters tall, and has such a face.

When looking at people, her eyes were moist, with the corners of her eyes slightly upturned, her slightly open lips were small and pink, and her complexion was that kind of cold white skin.

There is an unconscious charm in purity.

If a girl like this goes to the Great Northern Wilderness, she will probably be targeted by many men.

Chu Nanzhou had been to the Great Northern Wilderness once a few years ago. He didn’t stay there for long, but he knew the situation there.

The women in the Great Northern Wilderness are harder to spot than Siberian tigers.

It is only in recent years that there are more female educated youth.

But there are too many people and too little porridge!

The gender ratio is seriously unbalanced. According to the demobilized old soldiers, if they want to get married and find a wife, it is impossible in the Great Northern Wilderness. They can only save enough money, return to their hometown, and pay more money as a betrothal gift to marry a woman from their hometown and bring her to the Great Northern Wilderness.

In the Great Northern Wilderness, there are many unmarried men in their thirties to forties.

The above also discovered this problem, and the proportion of female educated youth has been increased in recent years, also to solve the marriage problems of demobilized officers and soldiers.

Chu Nanzhou knew all these things.

I just hope Sheng Kangning can stay in the city.

Sheng Kangning held Xiaobao in his arms, looking at the innocent smile on the little boy’s face. He gently wiped the milk stains from the corners of Xiaobao’s mouth with his fingers, and looked up at Chu Nanzhou:

“Brother Chu, you said before that you would take care of Xiaobao yourself. Will you bring Xiaobao with you when you go to the Great Northern Wilderness?”

Chu Nanzhou hummed: “Of course!”

Sheng Kangning laughed:

“If he, a two-year-old, can go, so can I!”

Chu Nanzhou looked at the girl: “Have you decided?”

Sheng Kangning nodded: “Yeah!”

After Xiaobao finished drinking the milk powder, Chu Nanzhou stood up and washed the bottle with boiling water:

“Do you want me to call your family?”

Sheng Kangning shook his head:

“No, I’ve already told my family that I’ll be staying at my classmate’s house for the next two days before I go to the countryside, and I won’t be going back.”

After hearing this, Chu Nanzhou realized that the little girl’s situation at home was probably not good.

She is about to go to the countryside, but the Sheng family still lets her live in her classmate’s house. Doesn’t this clearly mean they don’t care!

Chu Nanzhou was angry, and the low pressure emanating from his body was felt by Sheng Kangning. He looked at him strangely, not knowing what he had said wrong to offend this man.

Chu Nanzhou heard from Grandma Ning that Aunt Ling Qing married into the Sheng family with 6,000 yuan. She had already made an agreement with Sheng Hongqi when she got married that part of the money would be given to Sheng Hongqi, and the rest would be deposited in the bank by Aunt Ling Qing.

Sheng Hongqi promised to take good care of Aunt Ling Qing and the baby in her belly.

When the child was ten years old, the two divorced peacefully, and Aunt Ling Qing took the child and left the Sheng family.

No one expected that Aunt Ling Qing would suddenly pass away when Sheng Kangning was only five years old.

Chu Nanzhou also found this matter strange.

But so many years have passed, it’s hard to find out the truth.

After her daughter passed away, Grandma Ning found Sheng Hongqi again and took Sheng Kangning back to her side. Grandma Ning was in poor health and could not live to see Sheng Kangning grow up. She had to find Sheng Hongqi, withdraw one thousand yuan from the bank, and give it to Sheng Hongqi, telling him to wait until she died and take Sheng Kangning back to the Sheng family and take care of him as her own child until Sheng Kangning turned eighteen years old.

That’s good care!

Zhou Shen checked the Sheng family and got the information that the eldest daughter of the Sheng family replaced Aunt Ling Qing’s job in the hospital and became a nurse.

Recently, the Sheng family spent money to buy a recruitment quota for a cannery, which was given to Sheng Weidong, the son of the Sheng family.

Sheng Hongqi also has a biological daughter named Sheng Fengxiang, who went on a blind date with a regular employee of the post office today.

In other words, all three children of the Sheng family can stay in the city.

Only Sheng Kangning!

Have to go to the countryside!

Chu Nanzhou frowned: “Your family doesn’t care about you?”

Sheng Kang was quiet for a moment, then smiled faintly. That smile was so faint that it couldn’t even be considered a smile. He said in a very light voice:

“It’s not that I don’t care, but there are too many children at home and I can’t take care of them!”

Sheng Kangning didn’t want Brother Chu to know what was going on at home, so he didn’t tell the truth.

Chu Nanzhou glanced at her and put away the washed bottle:

“Tell me if you have any problems next time!”

Sheng Kangning smiled and nodded: “Thank you, Brother Chu! I will try my best to take care of myself!”

Seeing the smile on Sheng Kangning’s face, Chu Nanzhou felt uncomfortable. He coughed lightly and asked, “What are you best at? I heard from Grandma Ning that you are learning medicine from her?”

Speaking of grandma, Sheng Kangning smiled and nodded:

“I studied medicine with my grandma for ten years! But, I have never treated anyone seriously until now.”

When Chu Nanzhou heard this, he had an idea in his mind. He thought that after returning to the Great Northern Wilderness, he would arrange for Sheng Kangning to work in the field hospital. The conditions in the hospital were relatively better.

However, Chu Nanzhou did not tell Sheng Kangning about this.

Now let’s talk about Sheng Kangning’s health:

“It’s good to study medicine. By the way, the doctor said that you are weak and a little malnourished. You will be observed in the hospital for half a day and can be discharged in the afternoon.”

Sheng Kangning opened his mouth slightly and blinked:

“I feel fine, nothing is wrong! I can be discharged from the hospital now!”

Chu Nanzhou insists:

“Listen to the doctor. I’ll leave Xiaobao here with you first. I’ll go out for a while and pick you up later!”

Sheng Kangning’s voice was soft:

“good!”

After Chu Nanzhou came out of the ward, he went directly to the third floor of the hospital and entered the dean’s office.

Dean Liu saw Chu Nanzhou and smiled:

“How come you have time to come to my place?”

Chu Nanzhou pointed at the phone on the table:

“Uncle Liu, can I borrow your phone?”

Dean Liu nodded with a smile: “Use it! I’m going to a meeting, just close the door when you leave.”

After Dean Liu leaves.

Chu Nanzhou called home.
