She Can Also Be Gentle - Chapter 67

After getting off the bus one stop ahead of time, Chi Nuan took Xiao Wutong to the vegetable market to buy food. Little Wutong had a bad complexion because of a cold, so Chi Nuan went to unpack his schoolbag: “Chi Zheng, let me carry it for you.”

Little Indus shook his head: “No, my mother is also very tired from work.”

Chi Nuan looked at Xiao Wutong’s small black head, and didn’t know how many times she had a chance to think about it. Fortunately, Yue Yun left him to herself.

It’s very tiring to take the child, but isn’t Xiao Wutong always healing her? It is not so much that she takes care of him, as it is that he gave her a home to belong to.

Stopped in front of the aquatic product stall, Xiao Wutong said he wanted to eat brine shrimp. The boss weighed the shrimp, and when the bag was picked up in the late warmth, there was the sound of rain beating from the roof of the vegetable market.

The voice came violently, whether it was the vegetable seller or the vegetable buyer, they all said, “Heavy rain is coming down.”

The rain that had been brewing for a day finally fell.

Chi Nuan bought good vegetables, and squeezed at the entrance of the market with Xiao Wutong. After waiting for a while, not only did the rain not get smaller, but it was getting bigger and bigger.

Chi Nuan opened the car-hailing app, but the heavy rain came down, and it was the peak off-duty period. After waiting for a while, no driver came to take the order.

The little phoenix tree held up the umbrella: “Mom, let’s go home, we can’t walk far.”

Fortunately, both of them had umbrellas. All the way home, the little Wutong was wet except for his shoes and a half of his pants.

Chi Nuan was afraid that he would catch a cold again, so he turned on the hot water and let him take a longer bath. When he came out in thick pajamas, Chi Nuan gave him the boiled **** water again.

Little Wutong pinched his nose and drank **** water, which reminded Chi Nuan of the rainy summer night. At that time, his brother cooked **** water. Gu Ningzi frowned, and the drink was also very painful.

After drinking, Xiao Wutong picked up his schoolbag to do his homework, and went into the kitchen to cook late.

The shrimp is first boiled, soaked in salt water for marinating, then the dipping sauce is adjusted and served first. When Chi Nuan finished the second dish, Xiao Wutong sat at the table, peeling one shrimp after another and soaking them in the dipping saucer.

Hearing the footsteps, he turned his head and said to Chi Nuan: “Mom, come and eat, I have peeled you a lot.”

At that moment, like a stone rolling by in my heart, endless echoes spread empty.

Chi Nuan supported the desk, a few minutes later, she washed her hands, wiped them dry, and called Gu Ningzi.

Gu Ningzi did not answer until the dialing was automatically interrupted.

Chi Nuan had no courage to dial a second time.

Little Wutong didn’t eat much at night, so he said to Chi Nuan before eight o’clock, “Mom, I want to sleep, I’m a little tired.”

Chinuan tried his forehead temperature, there was a low fever.

“Drink the medicine before going to sleep.”

Little Wutong took the medicine in concert, went back to the room and was covered in a quilt, and fell asleep for a while. Chi Nuan listened to the sound of rain outside cleaning the house, her abdomen faintly hurt, and her aunt came.

After taking a shower, she gently opened the door of Xiao Wutong and went in to see him.

Little Wutong’s breathing was very heavy, Chi Nuan touched his face, and was frightened by the high heat above, and immediately turned on the light. Little Wutong’s face was red.

Chi Nuan called his name, Xiao Wutong opened his eyes in a daze, “Mom.”

The voice went hoarse.

Chi Nuan immediately took Xiao Wutong’s body temperature, and she couldn’t sit still as soon as the temperature came out. Obviously I have taken anti-fever medicine, and the temperature has not dropped, but has risen so much.

Little Wutong had a history of high fever and convulsion before. Chi Nuan didn’t dare to delay a second. She put a fever-reducing sticker on Little Wutong and pulled him up from the bed: “Little Wutong, we have to go to the hospital now.”

“Mom, I have no strength.” Little Wutong said weakly, half-closed eyes.

Chi Nuan dressed him: “Mom hugs you.”

She picked up the little phoenix tree with difficulty, the pain in her lower abdomen came to trouble again, Chi Nuan gritted her teeth and walked to the door, suddenly remembering that she hadn’t booked a car yet.

She turned on the phone, but just as when she came back from the food market, there was no driver to take the order.

It rained heavily, and it was nearly ten o’clock in the evening.

The little parasol tree leaned softly in Chi Nuan’s arms, Chi Nuan repeatedly increased prices, but good luck never came.

The scorching temperature of Little Indus scorched Chi warm’s nerves, and every slight movement of him made her frightened.

“Little Indus, wait a minute. Mom will go to the uncle on the third floor and ask him to see us.” Chi Nuan hugged the little Indus back to the sofa and hurried downstairs, but there was no light in the house on the third floor. Chi Nuan held it down for a long time. No one answered the doorbell.

No one is at home.

Chi Nuan ran upstairs again, grabbed his mobile phone in a panic, opened the address book, hesitated a little between Zhou Damao and Mr. Ji, still drew Zhou Damao’s name. I was about to dial Zhou Damao, when an incoming call came in, the three words “Gu Ningzi” appeared on the screen.

The panic disappeared instantly, and Gu Ningzi was the closest person to her.

“We had a regular meeting before, what’s the matter?”

Gu Ningzi’s calm voice rang in her ears, and the appearance of Xiao Wutong sleeping on the sofa fell into view. Chi Nuan took a breath: “…Gu Ningzi, help me.”

Gu Ningzi paused for a while: “What’s the matter?”

It was raining heavily outside, and Chi Nuan finished talking about the condition of Little Wutong, and Gu Ningzi was silent for a long time. Just when Chi Nuan thought she would refuse, Gu Ningzi said, “Wait for twenty minutes, and I will pass now.”

Chi Nuan pinched time and hugged the little parasol downstairs. After taking a break several times in the middle, it finally got to the first floor.

The lower abdomen was so painful, Chi Nuan squatted down, letting Xiao Wutong’s head knock in his neck. Little Indus weakly asked her softly, “Mom, have you got an appointment in the car?”

Chi Nuan said, “Aunt Gu is coming right away.”

Little Wutong barely cheered up and talked to her: “Aunt Gu? Who…”

Chi Nuan: “Take us home, you said it was beautiful, and Aunt Gu who gave you candy.”

Little Indus: “I haven’t seen her before…”

He opened his eyes wearily, the rain overwhelming the sky, the dazzling car lights from far and near, a figure holding an umbrella, came from the heavy rain in the dark night.

Chi Nuan whispered in Xiao Wutong’s ear: “You’ve seen it, you were very young at that time.”

…

Gu Ningzi sent them to the emergency department of the hospital. Chi Nuan ran forward and ran, and waited for the little Wutong to lie down and hang up the needle before she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as the nerves relax, the pain in the abdomen becomes more pronounced. Chi Nuan shuddered, only to realize that he didn’t even wear a coat.

She pressed her lower abdomen with a pale face, and stared at the little parasol tree on the hospital bed in a daze.

The hospital near the early hours of the morning was very quiet. The little parasol tree fell asleep.

Gu Ningzi walked into the ward with two paper cups and handed one of them to Chi Nuan. Chi Nuan reached out to take it, and bumped into Gu Ningzi’s fingers, who were also cold.

“Your condition doesn’t look very good.” Gu Ningzi said.

The dark brown liquid swayed in the cup, Chi Nuan lowered his head and smiled, not allowing his red eye sockets to be exposed in front of people.

It’s coffee, not brown sugar water.

… Gu Ningzi, although you know that you are greedy to think so, do you still think about it?

…

Gu Ningzi has been with the hospital and did not leave early. She seems to be very busy, maybe the jet lag is due to the daytime, and she receives new messages from time to time on her mobile phone at work.

Afraid of affecting the rest of the little Wutong, Gu Ningzi sat outside the ward to deal with matters.

The little parasol tree muttered to drink water in a dream, and went to boil the water in late warmth. When she came back, she saw Gu Ningzi’s head against the cold white wall, her glasses resting on the seat, her eyes closed, and her eyebrows were plucked. .

“Thank you, I caused you trouble.” Chi Nuan couldn’t help but feel distressed.

Gu Ningzi heard the sound, turned her head, and slowly opened her eyes. After a few seconds, her eyes had a focus.

“It’s okay,” she said.

Xiao Wutong’s hanging needle lasted until more than two o’clock in the morning, and Gu Ningzi sent them home. Little Indus leaned in Chi Nuan’s arms and was lethargic. When he arrived downstairs in the community, Chi Nuan couldn’t bear to wake him up, and was about to carry him upstairs. Little Indus made a living: “Mom, I’m much better, myself. go.”

Little Indus: “…I’ve grown up, I know you can’t hold me anymore.”

Chi Nuan said softly: “Okay.”

Gu Ningzi got out of the car, opened the umbrella, and sent Chi Nuan and Xiao Wutong into the doorway.

Little Indus softly waved goodbye to Gu Ningzi: “Aunt Gu, thank you, I’m causing you trouble.”

“…” Gu Ningzi looked at Chi Nuan and said to Xiao Wutong, “Get well soon.”

Little Sycamore nodded.

…

After Xiao Wutong had a high fever, Chi Nuan hadn’t seen Gu Ningzi for a while. She also plucked up the courage to make an appointment with her for dinner, and wanted to thank her for her help, but the reply she got was that she was not in the country, so she had to leave it alone.

During the period, Chi Nuan submitted a resignation report to the school, and after negotiation between the two parties, after teaching this semester, she officially resigned.

On the day when the results were obtained, Chi Nuan made an appointment with He Liwen and Lao Mo to meet. She told them about leaving the school, and He Liwen was surprised: “Why? Have you found a new job?”

“No.” Chi Nuan said, “…I’m not suitable there.”

He Liwen understands Chinuan’s temperament and is never a wayward person. She said that she was “not suitable” and left her job without even finding a new job. There must have been some things that even she could not relax.

“Is it because of the last time?” The school did investigate Chi Nuan’s underage birth. He Liwen was stunned at the time. Who knew Chi Nuan comforted her and said that the misunderstanding was eliminated. .

“No.” Chi Nuan said.

“I thought you could make it easier to teach elementary school, where the salary is higher than the average place…” He Liwen said and began to sigh.

Chi Nuan said: “The teacher is kind, I let him down.”

He Liwen waved her hand to tell her not to say that.

Lao Mo said, “It was good at first, but Chi Nuan came to teach at No. 1 Middle School, hey! It’s not a coincidence!”

Chi Nuan smiled and said, “Yes.”

He Liwen said: “In fact, you really want to come to the first high school. The postgraduate entrance examination is not difficult for you. Two or three years will be passed in the blink of an eye. It is your current situation…”

Chi Nuan nodded: “Yes.”

During the dinner, He Liwen and Lao Mo both said they would help Chi Nuan pay attention, whether it is a teacher or other professions, let her know if they believe it.

Chi Nuan thanked him again and again.

After that, Chi Nuan kept paying attention to all kinds of recruitment, until the last day of December, after a long time without Gu Ningzi’s news, Chi Nuan received a voice call from He Zhen at lunchtime.

“The BOSS has returned to China, and the time is probably yours… You can get home at five or six in the evening. Miss Chi, is it convenient for you to go there? I have preliminary drafted your contract. You can finalize the specific details with the BOSS.”

Chi Nuan held her mobile phone, and the noise around her was automatically silenced. She couldn’t recover for a long while.

He Zhen laughed and said, “If it’s convenient, let’s cook some light food for the BOSS tonight. Recently, there have been problems with several items, and she was a little angry. I will send you the specific address and access code later.”

It was as if it was in the bitter winter that I suddenly met Nuanchun, Chi Nuan stammered and asked He Zhen: “I, can I?”

He Zhen: “Of course, the BOSS recognizes you.”
