Chapter 335 scars
.Beautiful in a daze, I felt that the strong body beside me was no longer there. I was so scared that I saw Kang Ning sitting on the wide wooden sofa like an old monk entering a meditation.
She quickly got up, walked slowly towards Corning, hugged his neck, and kissed his shoulders and cheeks affectionately.
After finishing the work, Kang Ning gently hugged her in his arms and said pity: "Why don't you sleep for a while? It's just dawn."
Amy, who was greatly satisfied with his mind and body, felt warm when she heard Corning's concerning words, and her delicate body as smooth as satin pressed against Corning and kept rubbing her, and she whispered like a moan: "Are you tired? Can I give you a massage?"
"No need, we have to hurry up today." After saying that, Corning stood up gently, kissed her lightly, and walked into the bathroom alone.
After washing up, Corning changed into a comfortable sports and casual outfit, opened the curtains, letting the morning light penetrate into the room, and then sat quietly on the sofa and enjoyed the fragrant tea made by Emmy.
After taking a shower, Amy changed into a white short-sleeved T-shirt and trousers that were quite consistent with Corning, and quickly packed up her luggage and prepared to set off.
At this moment, the sudden crisp knock on the door made Amy a little unhappy. She put down her pajamas in her hand, turned around and opened the door. The scene in front of her surprised her.
The hotel manager and the front desk waiter nodded and said hello to Amy with a smile. The male manager in his forties pointed to a basket of brocade flowers hanging at the door and explained enthusiastically:
"This was sent by Hue citizens early in the morning. Everyone said that they would like to thank the genius doctor Mr. Nie Ning for his kindness and kindness. These flowers are only a small part of them, most of which are piled in the lobby outside. There are many gifts in it. The citizens were unwilling to disturb Mr. Nie Ning's rest. After leaving the gift, they all left quietly."
Corning in the room was very surprised when he heard this. He quickly walked out of the door and thanked the manager and waiter. When he saw the two of them wanting to move flowers and gifts into the room, he quickly shook his hand and dissuaded:
"I'm sorry, two, we're leaving soon. Thank you for your good service and warm reception. Let's put these gifts in the lobby first, and I'll go and see them in person later."
Both of them were very surprised to hear that Corning was about to leave. Originally, they estimated that Corning had just arrived in Hue for one day and had not had the chance to visit many famous attractions. They should have stayed for two more days. But Corning was in front of him with a transcendent identity, and they did not dare to make their own suggestions, so they had to bring the flowers and gifts back to the hall with deep regret.
Sniffing the faint fragrance of flowers in the air, Corning thought for a moment and knew that this must be Zhang's idea. He smiled and shook his head. He went back to the room and picked up the gift bag, and walked out of the room with Amy who was ready.
Amy snuggled up to Corning, with a happy and sweet look on her face. She always admired Corning's easy-going and self-disciplined style. She never gave the important things to the women around her or the diligent waiters, but did it on her own without any pretentiousness. When shopping on the street, he was also humble and kind to everyone around him, and never letting her own women add any burden. Except for showing a firm and domineering temper on some principled issues, everything was so contentment and polite.
Emmy thought more than once: With this point alone, Corning could capture the woman's hearts effortlessly, not to mention that he is so talented, handsome and invincible.
When the two arrived at the hall, although they were mentally prepared, they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
A blue flower decorates the open space in the leisure area with colorful colors. The cordial Chinese greetings and gratitude on the ribbon of the flower basket made Corning excited.
More than ten exquisitely packaged gifts placed on the wide coffee table are very attractive. More than twenty waitresses wearing various long gowns and white trousers lined up neatly in two rows, congratulating Corning with kind smiles and applause.
The manager and the two girls stepped forward to take Corning, Amy's duffel bag in her hand, and then intimately led Corning around the flowers. When he finally came to the front of the exquisite and luxurious gift, the manager pointed to the packaging box decorated with ribbons and silk flowers and explained in a low voice:
"Sir, you see, these twelve gifts have labels on them, and are signed by the craftsmen. These gifts are carefully made by our masters in Hue and even the entire Vietnamese. They are very precious and rare. I open them and ask you to take a look?"
Seeing that Kang Ning nodded curiously, the manager smiled happily, and then unbuttoned the colorful ribbons on the packaging box and introduced them one by one: This is the Guanyin Bodhisattva carved in ivory, this is the Panlong carved according to the natural texture of agarwood, and this is the thin jade porcelain of the twelve zodiac signs...
The twelve exquisite crafts are not only expensive to use, but also exquisitely crafted and superbly skilled, which is beyond Corning's expectations.
Corning knew clearly that if these things were on the market, without a bid of thousands of dollars, they could only look at them from a distance.
While grateful, Corning thought for a little while, then asked the manager to pass the paper and pen, wrote down the room number of the Xiangjiang Hotel where Jane and Jenny were, and entrusted him to send two beautiful bouquets of purple lilies and lotus, giving them to Jane the twelve zodiac signs, and mottled piccolos carved from jade to Jenny.
He asked everyone to send the remaining gifts to his car, and all the other flowers and Corning gave them to the hotel, wishing everyone a beautiful life like flowers.
At the sincere request of the manager, Kang Ning happily agreed to leave a photo with him, and then took a photo with the excited waiters. This was the warm farewell to everyone.
Leave slowly.
"Aning, you're going in the wrong direction. We should go to Saigon to the right." Amy saw Corning turn the car into the city center and quickly reminded Corning.
Kang Ning smiled at her and replied with a relaxed look: "That's right, it's still early, so let's not hurry to set off for Saigon. We are going to thank Zhang Bo and the others. They have given me so many valuable gifts. Can I leave without saying hello? Besides, the friendship contained in it is something that cannot be bought with money."
Amy nodded repeatedly and sighed, "Aning, you are so nice. But... sometimes what you do really makes me unable to understand. Although you are still polite to almost all the high-ranking officials and rich people, I can clearly feel that you always keep a certain distance from them, and you have never easily agreed to anyone's request. But you are very kind and enthusiastic to the poor and ordinary people. Even if they don't ask you, you will take the initiative to help. Can you tell me why this is?"
Corning's mouth curled up, and he snorted slightly, saying, "It's very simple. I'm just an ordinary doctor. Senior officials and rich people can get the best medical insurance and services. Many people even have designated hospitals and specialized doctors, so I don't need to worry too much. But ordinary people are different. They don't have any protection at all. Often, treating a person's illness will drag down the whole family. In fact, this is not only Vietnam, but also in our mainland China.... Therefore, I must do my best to help ordinary people at the bottom. In my opinion, ordinary people are the ones that need the most care and help. In fact, this is one of my ancestral teachings. Do you know the word ancestral teachings? They are the admonitions left by our ancestors. Later generations must not violate it."
After saying that, Corning looked straight ahead, with a hint of emotion in his eyes. Amy nodded thoughtfully, and the love in her eyes became deeper and stronger.
Corning's car had just stopped in front of Zhang Bo's shop. Zhang Bo at the door saw clearly that the person driving was Corning. Not only did he not meet him, he ran back to the house and said excitedly to the old man in the hall: "How is it? Guys, how are you? I'm right? Aning will definitely come to visit us, otherwise he would not be a disciple of Master Kang Jimin..."
More than a dozen middle-aged and elderly people wearing all the same colored twin-breasted cloth buckles stood up excitedly. After a while, they all walked out of the door and stared at Kang Ning happily.
When they saw Corning strode in surprise, everyone stepped forward enthusiastically to shake hands with Corning one by one. Uncle Zhang introduced to Corning in detail to each other's surname and status in the local Chinese community.
The ceremony was over. The energetic Hue - Bao Yuting, the president of the Hong Kong Chinese Chamber of Commerce, held Corning's hand tightly and said in Suzhou dialect:
"Brother, we are waiting for you nervously. If you don't come, it will disappoint us. I didn't expect you to come so quickly. In you, we saw that the virtues left by our ancestors have not been lost! It is said that humankind has become weak after the reform and opening up in China, but now I firmly believe that the things left by our ancestors will never be lost!"
Corning also answered in Shanghai dialect with deep feelings: "Bo Bao, thank you for your praise. I am ashamed of me. Bao Bo just mentioned the issue of domestic human feelings today. I have a different view here. Our living standards in this generation have improved a lot, and have caught up with the reform and opening up. Many concepts are changing. Perhaps young people like me have lost many old traditions, but I firmly believe that as long as you go out and take a look, you can experience the strong family affection and homesickness. Please don't worry about this. China's thousands of years of culture has been rooted in the bone marrow of every Chinese, but it is still asleep in some people for a while. Once you wake up, everyone will see that everything has not changed in everything."
Old man Bao Yuting felt warm in his heart, and his tears fell down. Hearing Corning's standard accent made him tremble with excitement.
Uncle Zhang re-speaks Kang Ning's words, which attracted a burst of cheers. A group of elderly people gathered around a young man and attracted great interest from passers-by.
Bao Yuting held Corning's hand and said that the street was too narrow and Lao Zhang's shop was too small, so we had to find a clean place to chat.
After saying that, he and Mr. Zhang got onto Corning's car with him and led Corning to a clean and elegant garden in the east of the city. The men and women who had already been waiting in the garden immediately ignited the charcoal stove and took out precious tea to make tea. The graceful and shy girls sent plates of exquisite pastries and snacks in a row. The corners of their eyes floated to Corning in the upper seat from time to time. Occasionally, they met Corning's smiling eyes, and slipped away like a frightened little rabbit, very cute.
Aimee, sitting behind Corning, curiously looked at this exquisite garden with rich Chinese characteristics. Even the decorative patterns of Chinese mythical figures on the pavilion above her head made her feel pleasing to the eye and quite mysterious.
The scattered trees and bonsai around her, as well as the white koi lotus in the clear pond, made her feel a unique charm that is completely different from the gardens in various parts of Vietnam. It is hard for her to imagine that there are such quiet and pure Chinese gardens in Vietnam.
A strong middle-aged man walked gently behind the old man Bao Yuting and whispered a few words in his ear. The old man turned to Kang Ning in shock, thought for a while and whispered to Kang Ning: "Aning, there are two people who seem to be plainclothes police who always wander at the door. Are they your guard?"
Corning was quite angry when he heard this, but there was still a calm smile on his face. He turned to Emmy behind him and whispered a few times. Emmy nodded, slowly stood up and walked out of the yard.
Corning turned to the old man and Zhang Bo and explained patiently: "
I was hired in the Venus Sanatorium in Mang Street. This sanatorium is a central Vietnamese, so Vietnamese have equipped all the foreign experts working there with guards. I have never liked this. It seems that there is no freedom or privacy at all, but I can't help it. After all, this is in other people's country, and I can't refuse their arrangements at all."
Old Man Bao Yuting seemed to remember something and looked around. He waved back the extra people in the pavilion and whispered to Kang Ning about the hardships and helplessness of the Vietnamese Chinese:
"Aning, compared with the previous years, we have had much better days. We can freely form associations and run Chinese night schools by ourselves. This was something we could never imagine before! The tragic experiences twenty years ago were still fresh in our memory. Thousands of Chinese and overseas Chinese were driven out of the border with butts and bayonets by the Le Duan authorities, and even drove them down to the sea. All their property and savings were confiscated. Compared with the miserable situation in other places, Hue and Port in central China were better, and the villagers in Saigon in the south and the entire northern region were in a miserable state! All the valuable things on everyone's bodies were plundered, and some Chinese even had gold teeth in their mouths. The men were tied up and escorted out, and they were tortured all the way through mountains and rivers, and countless people were destined to go to the underworld before returning to their motherland. Women were even more miserable..."
Speaking of this, Bao Yuting burst into tears, and a depressed whimper suddenly sounded in the pavilion.
Kang Ning lowered his head sadly. In front of his eyes, he saw the unforgettable tragic scene he saw in Longzhou Shuikou with his eldest brother Zhang Jianhan under the leadership of his father:
Hundreds of ragged and elusive overseas Chinese, as soon as they stepped into the country, they fell to the ground and cried loudly. The soldiers' eyes were almost clenched with tears. Many medical staff raised their dying relatives with tears in their eyes and ran wildly, crying and crying one after another, and they never dispersed for a long time...
Old Man Bao Yuting wiped away his tears, cleared his throat, and continued: "We had a better life ten years ago, but a ship gun battle in Nansha two years ago made all our Chinese frightened and anxious. Fortunately, they were in danger in the end, but many Vietnamese were hostile to each other at that time, which made us unable to sleep or eat! I won't say coldly. Our children are often threatened and beaten by Vietnamese children. When we see the children returning home with bruised faces, snot and tears, we feel distressed! Alas... Although most of us Chinese and overseas Chinese have lived here for generations or even dozens of generations, the differences between races cannot be bridged. During the entire Vietnam War of Liberation, we have money and efforts. Many outstanding children died in battle for the founding of the country. We have not taken a step back, but now... we just hope that our lives will continue so that we will be satisfied."
Kang Ning was speechless in a heavy mood, lowered his head and drank tea silently, listening to the sighs of the whole room.
At this time, Emmy walked in and sat behind Corning again.
Kang Ning raised his head and asked everyone about their current livelihood and family background. Everyone's mood gradually improved, and they were obviously satisfied with their current life.
Kang Ning said apologetically: "As soon as the door opened this morning, the flowers in front of me moved me. Seeing so many precious gifts made me even more excited and uneasy. I was unable to do anything for everyone, but I was treated so well. This made me feel very uncomfortable! Dear elders, I have no reward for everyone, but as long as I can do it, I will do my best. Please be polite if you have any advice."
Zhang Bo, who had not spoken, laughed loudly: "Aning, you are just seeing each other now. Not to mention that you saved Ade's life with righteousness, just a deworming recipe is worth ten thousand gold! The little gifts I give you are made by the children of each family here. It's nothing strange. We are not vague at all to earn money from outsiders, but it is not worth mentioning to Anning. Haha! We can give you a look at us old guys, we already feel infinitely glorious. Don't say those words about it. Today, we old guys have agreed and will never let you go! Just put wine and have fun in this garden, sleep when you get drunk, and some are beds, haha!"
The elders immediately laughed at Corning. Old Man Bao Yuting didn't care about Corning's opinion and shouted to the men and women standing outside the pavilion: "Why are you still standing there? Come to the banquet!"
Kang Ning looked at the laughter and sincere and friendly elder in front of him, and hesitated for a moment and made up his mind.
Kang Ning sat upright and made his own suggestions: "Elders, my nephew only has a little bit of medical skills. If the elders trust me, I will save this wine until the evening. I want to take this opportunity to learn from Mr. Zhang, take your pulse and solve some minor problems together. If there is any relative or friend who appreciates his face, I am willing to see him. If it can be cured, I will treat it. Please forgive me if it cannot be cured!"
As soon as Corning heard the voice, the whole room was filled with cheers.
Bao Yuting held Kang Ning's hands tightly, so moved that he couldn't speak.
Chapter completed!
