Marrying a childless superior, she became pregnant and lived a carefree life in the 1970s.

Chapter 72 Another two hours passed, and Gu Jianing was like a salted fish, too weak to even turn over.

"That's good, that's good." Because they were neighbors in the tenement building, Sister Yu had been taking good care of Jiang Baihe after she came to the Northwest Military Region to live with her. She also knew that Deputy Regiment Commander Chai and Jiang Baihe were most worried about the children.

Meanwhile, Zhang Shuwan's heart was pounding wildly after listening to Jiang Baihe's story.

Although Zhang Shuwan and Lin Xing already have a child named Guoguo, only the couple knows that they are also worried about having another child.

Zhang Shuwan had been taking traditional Chinese medicine for several years, but it had no effect. After so long, she was almost in despair.

Now, Gu Jianing has appeared; she can cure infertility and help people conceive.

Zhang Shuwan felt as if she had found a new lease on life; Gu Jianing was their family's lucky star and benefactor.

Not only did it save her daughter Guoguo, but it might even help her get pregnant now!

So, after Gu Jianing finished examining the children and muttered that most of them had roundworms in their stomachs, thinking that she could make some deworming medicine later, Zhang Shuwan, as the last person she was to see, couldn't wait to pull Lin Xing in.

After explaining the situation to Gu Jianing, he concluded, "...Jianing, Lao Lin and I really hope to have a son."

Gu Jianing nodded, understanding Zhang Shuwan and Lin Xing's situation, and began to scan them while taking their pulses.

However, the scan results made Gu Jianing frown.

When Zhang Shuwan saw Gu Jianing's expression, her heart skipped a beat. "Jianing, is one of us in serious health trouble?"

Gu Jianing shook her head. "No, none of you have any problems."

Yes, the scan results showed that the two were quite healthy and there were no factors that could cause infertility.

"Then how come you haven't been able to get pregnant for the past few years?" Zhang Shuwan was dumbfounded.

Gu Jianing thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's just that our time hasn't come yet."

The time isn't right yet...

These words struck Zhang Shuwan, leaving her momentarily speechless.

If you know where the problem is, you can treat it accordingly.

However, if the time is not right, it's hard to say.

Fate is unpredictable; it can happen in the next second, or it may take a lifetime to find it.

If it's the latter, what should she do?

Seeing Zhang Shuwan's eyes dim suddenly, Gu Jianing thought of the reward she could get after treating Jiang Baihe. After hesitating for a moment, she finally asked, "Sister Shuwan, do you really want to have a son?"

Zhang Shuwan nodded.

“Okay, I’ll help you, but only after Jiang’s wife is fully recovered. But please don’t tell anyone about this, Sister Shu Wan.”

Zhang Shuwan, whose eyes had been dull, suddenly reddened after a moment of stunned silence.

"Okay, okay, it doesn't matter how long I have to wait, I can wait."

"Jianing, thank you, thank you." Zhang Shuwan stepped forward and grasped Gu Jianing's hand, her eyes filled with excitement and gratitude.

She knew that Gu Jianing had hesitated just now.

She knew that her hesitation wasn't because she was unwilling, but because she had some difficulties. In the end, however, Jia Ning overcame the difficulties and chose to help her.

Zhang Shuwan knew that she and Lao Lin had something to be grateful for, and they absolutely had to be grateful for it, regardless of whether she could conceive in the end.

The warm house banquet finally came to a successful close, with everyone displaying expressions of joy or contemplation.

After everyone left, Sheng Zexi took a broom and gave the living room a quick sweep. Although the women had helped wash the dishes after everyone finished eating, the house was still dusty with so many people visiting today.

Sheng Zexi had Gu Jianing sit on the warm kang (heated brick bed). He first boiled water on the stove, and then picked up a broom to start sweeping.

Sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed), Gu Jianing began to tell him about the treatment she had just received.

As Sheng Zexi listened, he looked at Gu Jianing with surprise several times.

He really didn't expect that his little wife actually had such strong medical skills. Just from the reactions of those people, he could tell that Ningning was right about everything, and they all expressed their willingness to come for treatment.

Does that mean his health can indeed be cured, and that he and Ningning will have a child afterward?
Thinking of this, as he bent down to sweep the floor, a smile unconsciously crept onto his lips.

The thought of having one or two children in the future who look like both him and Ningning, who call him "Dad" and Ningning "Mom," and then happily run into their arms, makes Sheng Zexi feel that there is nothing more wonderful than this.

Perhaps because of his family environment when he was young, Sheng Zexi's definition of happiness has always been very simple: to have a complete and happy family, with loving parents, well-behaved and sensible children, and a happy and joyful family.

Sheng Zexi once thought he might never have it in his lifetime, but now he feels that he might be able to achieve it in the near future.

So, when evening came, Gu Jianing routinely treated Sheng Zexi.

Then a man, without even bothering to put on his clothes, picked up Gu Jianing and carried her to the kang (a heated brick bed).

Although my body hasn't fully recovered, the process of trying to conceive can't stop for even a night. As long as I persevere, the baby will definitely come.

So, for another two hours, Gu Jianing lay on the kang (a heated brick bed) like a salted fish that didn't even have the strength to turn over, while Sheng Zexi patiently washed her.

After washing himself up, he got onto the kang (heated brick bed) and hugged Gu Jianing.

Looking at his wife, whose eyes were half-open and whose cheeks were as red as an apple, Sheng Zexi suddenly remembered something he had forgotten to tell her.

“Ningning, didn’t you say before that you wanted to be a doctor at the military hospital? I’ve heard some news.”

Gu Jianing rested her head on his strong arm, feeling warm all over. She was a little tired but very comfortable and warm, and was almost asleep when she suddenly heard these words. She forced herself to open her eyes groggily.

Q: "What news?"

"Soon, the military region will be holding a medical training course, which will be taught by well-known doctors from across the country."

"Anyone who intends to pursue a career as a doctor can apply for a spot to attend a training course. After completing the training and passing the assessment, they can obtain a medical license and then be assigned to work at a hospital, which will be a natural progression."

"There are requirements for the number of places available for attending training courses."

"One is a brigade commander-level officer, who has one recommendation quota, or someone who has medical certificates, that is, someone with a medical background."

Sheng Zexi's level is not high enough to qualify for a recommendation, but...

"I have a medical and nursing certificate from a vocational school. Does that mean I can attend this training course?" Gu Jianing asked him, tilting her head slightly.

Sheng Zexi stroked her soft hair and said, "Of course."

"I'll take you to register for this course later. It will probably take two or three months."
