The literary era since 1979

Chapter 90 Sister Chang'e

Chapter 90 Sister Chang'e
Yang Xia and Fang Hong were so worried that they mistook a common fever for a serious illness and sent the child to Yanjing Hospital.

The fever has subsided now, but Fangyan still has the mentality of making the best of it, so he gives himself a physical examination before leaving for northern Shaanxi.

These days, there is no awareness or system for regular physical examinations.

Apart from the rigid physical examination requirements for enlistment in the army and school enrollment, it is basically aimed at front-line workers in factories, mines, textiles, etc.

All major state-owned factories have medical rooms and part-time health workers. The noodle factory where Fang Hong works, for example, actively carries out physical examinations for female workers during special periods such as pregnancy and delivery.

After completing a series of examinations including lung auscultation and liver and spleen palpation, the only thing left was a chest X-ray. When I was going up the stairs, I happened to bump into "Sister Chang'e" from last time. I didn't look at her carefully the first time.

This time, Fangyan looked carefully.

She has a swan neck, fair skin, a cool and aloof look, and an ethereal air. As expected, I was not mistaken. She is indeed Sister Chang'e in the 86 version of "Journey to the West", but she looks younger now.

"How could it be you?"

Qiu Peining let out a light exclamation and blinked.

"Yeah, what a coincidence."

Fangyan saw that her right foot was in a cast, she was holding the wall with one hand and leaning on a crutch with the other, and she was walking up the stairs one by one with difficulty.

So, kindly ask: "Do you need help?"

"I can go down alone."

Qiu Peining shook her head and walked down the stairs carefully.

"Then what should you do when you go up the stairs when you return to the inpatient department?" Fang Yan thought of her concern for him at that time, and couldn't help but said: "I'll follow you and keep an eye on you. I'll take you to the floor of your ward and leave. What do you think?"

"Then trouble you."

Qiu Peining hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"You're welcome."

Fangyan paid close attention. "The last time I saw you, that person was your mother, right? She didn't come with you today?"

"My mother had something urgent to do, so she asked my sisters to take care of it. They are probably still on their way."

Qiu Peining went downstairs calmly.

A man and a woman walked in the aisle in silence for a while.

Qiu Peining noticed the list in his hand through her peripheral vision, "You don't look right, are you sick?"

Fangyan told the truth, "I feel better now. I have the rare time to have a physical examination."

"Physical examination? You are an interesting person. How can you treat yourself?" Qiu Peining was very curious.

"It's called 'early detection, early treatment'."

When she went upstairs, Fang Yan stood behind her and supported her.

"This is the first time I've heard you say that."

Seeing him keeping his distance, Qiu Peining felt warm in her heart. Although climbing the stairs was still difficult, she didn't have to be scared.

When they arrived at the floor, Fang Yan realized that these were all dry wards. He raised his eyebrows and thought, Sister Chang'e is not simple!

However, I didn't intend to dig into the matter.

"I have to go now. Goodbye."

"That, thank you."

Qiu Peining completely let down her guard and introduced herself, but when Fang Yan introduced himself, she was shocked: "Your name is Fang Yan?!"

Fang Yan nodded: "You seem surprised."

"Of course! You have the same name as 'Fangyan' who wrote 'The Great Qin Splitting', 'The Shepherd' and 'Dark War'."

"You think I'm not him?"

"No, you're too young."

Qiu Peining looked him up and down and shook her head.

"Have you ever met Fangyan himself?"

Fangyan raised his eyebrows, as if he had heard this saying somewhere before.

"No, but my sister has met Fang Yan himself!"

"Really!"

"They are both students of Yanda University. When Fang Yan presented "Love Life" at Weiming Lake, they were there."

Qiu Peining talked as she walked.

Fangyan smiled without saying anything and walked her to the door of the ward.

"Don't go yet, wait for me."

Qiu Peining walked in and soon came out again with a candy in her mouth. "Every time I feel unhappy or sick, I eat a piece of candy, and my mood and body will get better."

Holding a handful of White Rabbit candies in his hand, he said, "Don't refuse. Just consider it as my thank you gift. Thank you for sending me back."

"it is good!"

Fangyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and put it in his pocket. "I should go in and lie down too."

Qiu Peining said: "My sister will be here in a while."

The two said goodbye and Fangyan prepared to have a chest X-ray. As soon as he walked downstairs, he heard a familiar voice.

"Teacher Fang!"

Tang Shengnan and Bai Ruoxue were very surprised and came closer.

Fang Yan looked back at the inpatient department, thoughtfully.

"Teacher Fang, why are you here?"

Tang Shengnan cast an inquiring look.

Fang Yan briefly explained, and Bai Ruoxue reached into her bag, "Then we won't bother you with the physical examination, but before that, can you do me a small favor? Sign your name on it?"

Then, she handed over the copy of "The Horse Shepherd" and said that she wanted to give it as a gift to her good sister who was in hospital.

Seeing him sign so generously, the two thanked him repeatedly, happily came to Qiu Peining's ward and knocked on the door.

"You guys are finally here! I'm so bored!"

Qiu Peining's tone was filled with excitement.

"Sister Pei Ning!"

Tang Shengnan was concerned about her condition.

Qiu Peining distributed White Rabbit milk candies to them and said as she unwrapped the paper, "I just had a checkup and the doctor said it might affect my dancing in the future. But the specific situation depends on my recovery, so I have to stay in the hospital for a while."

Bai Ruoxue consoled him with a few words and changed the topic to gifts:
"Look what we brought you?"

"Your favorite book, The Horse Herder, has been published in a single volume!"

Tang Shengnan understood, "We also brought you "Furong Town" and "Legend of Tianyun Mountain", especially these."

As he spoke, he took out Qiong Yao's "Outside the Window", "Parting and Reunion", and two magazines like a thief.

"Qiong Yao!"

Qiu Peining's eyes lit up and she immediately flipped through "The Strait" and quickly came to the page where "Man at the End of the World" was located.

"Sister Pei Ning, please don't let Auntie see this."

Bai Ruoxue reminded him, "As for this book People's Literature, the second part of The Splitting of the Great Qin is in it."

Qiu Peining was shocked. "The latest issue of People's Literature hasn't been published yet, where did you get it from?"

"This is all thanks to Grandpa Huang."

Bai Ruoxue said that it was given to her by Huang Baizhi. When Bai Yaoshan and other old friends first got it, they could hardly put the book down and read it over and over again.

"When Grandpa Bai heard that he wanted to give it to you to entertain you, he agreed to give it to us." Tang Shengnan smiled.

"Thank you, and thank Grandpa Bai for me."

Qiu Peining looked at the comments on the manuscript paper. The blank spaces were filled with dense small characters. The corners of her mouth curled up, and then she looked at "The Shepherd". At the suggestion of the two, she opened the title page.

As you can see above, there is not only the signature of "Fangyan", but also a blessing from him. In addition to wishing her a speedy recovery, there is also a line of thanks at the end, "Thank you for the White Rabbit Milk Candy."

It's him? !
His face immediately appeared in my mind and I opened my mouth.

“I don’t know whether to call it fate or luck.”

Bai Ruoxue smiled and said, "We actually met Teacher Fang here, so we specially asked him for an autograph."

"it's here?!"

Qiu Peining's eyes widened.

"Yes, it's just downstairs. What a coincidence!"

Tang Shengnan described the scene at that time frankly.

"It's a coincidence indeed."

Qiu Peining closed the book gently, her cheeks slightly red.

Tang Shengnan asked, "Sister Pei Ning, why are you blushing?"

“Refreshed!”

Qiu Peining blurted out without thinking.
