Chapter 53

haonan: "Come on, what are you spacing out for here"Rong Zhaonan was shoved, stumbling back and grasping his glasses. He lowered his head obediently and walked out, saying "Good."He was quite surprise...Not to mention that Ton-Ton isn't just fish or meat.

If your mind is open, you will never go hungry.

Before, she was afraid of both wolves and tigers. She even feared fishing because it might be associated with capitalism's tail and bad influences, leaving her as malnourished as a stunted cabbage growing in the ground.

An unfilled stomach is the bad influence!

Rong Zhaonan paused his handwashing, a touch of confusion in his voice: "Cancerous Are you talking about cancer Who said that eating smoked meat could cause cancer This disease is very rare."

Ning Yuan was startled, then suddenly remembered. Right, in the 1970s and 1980s, even the 1990s, although everyone knew that cancer was a terrible terminal illness.

But, few people get this disease.

It's become more common nowadays because people's lives have gotten better, they have more material wealth, and the environment is polluted. Plus, with advances in food technology and farming practices, this disease has become prevalent.

She sat down and coughed lightly, as if to cover up her embarrassment: "This is something I heard from an aunt at the hospital before. Didn't I tell you that I live near the hospital That aunt liked me and often took me to where she worked."

Actually, nowadays hospitals don't really care whether it's cancer or not. Provincial hospitals probably can't handle a few cases even if they wanted to.

But it should be fine, Rong Zhaonan is just an ordinary village doctor. He's only received a few days of training from barefoot doctors and doesn't understand much.

Rong Zhaonan looked at Ning Yuan, said nothing, and sat down with her, picking up his bowl and chopsticks: "Hmm."

The little spy isn't telling the truth, she knows too much. She doesn't act like a normal girl from an ordinary family, hmph.

Perhaps others may not see it, but he is full of flaws here.

Seeing Rong Zhao Nan didn't ask further, Ning Yuan felt inexplicably uneasy for some reason. She buried her head and started eating.

The two of them didn't say much.

After dinner, putting down her chopsticks and bowl, Ning Yuan wiped her mouth: "You clean up, I'll go to Mr. Tang's place and bring them some eggs to supplement their bodies."

She wasn't sure why she felt a little uneasy about being alone with him.

Seeing Ning Yuan carry things and leave in a hurry, Rong Zhaonan frowned, his cold eyes flashing with an unreadable light.

She was avoiding him, what was she nervous about Maybe I should find a chance to probe further.

......

Ning Yuan arrived at the earthen house where Lao Tang and Grandma Xia lived.

It's still half-collapsed, Grandma Xia is hunched over squatting in front of the wooden tub, washing dishes with water.

Ning Yuan watched as she scrubbed the two broken bowls and pot meticulously, until they were spotless.

She was touched. She noticed that although Xia A Po's clothes had many patches, they were actually clean if you looked closely.

And the collar's buttons on her clothes are also very delicate, a complex button design commonly used in particularly high-end handmade cheongsam.

She used to love cheongsam very much, so she studied it.

"Well, you little brat, what are you doing just standing there Bring me whatever good things you've got in that basket, and let me have a look." Summer Auntie suddenly turned her head and glared at the wicker basket in her hands, grumbling.

Ning Yuan: "...."

She took back her idea that Xia Ah-Po was a proper lady before.

Ning Yuan carried a basket over and handed it to Xia A-po: "I got some eggs. I went to the county yesterday and bought some red sugar as well. Bring it to Grandpa Tang to supplement his body."

Xia A Po immediately took it and excitedly dashed back to her room: "Old man, that stinky girl brought eggs and red sugar. In a bit, I'll make you some red sugar egg soup!"

Ning Yuan: "..."

Every time she saw Grandma Xia's nimble movements, she felt that the old lady had a bit of a cunning fox descending the mountain vibe. at the sight of him being chased by Xia Ah Po, muttering to herself—Serves you right, for being so weird and acting like your father! You got what you deserved!Lao Tang also shook his head helplessly...
