When Ning Jingmo saw Xia Songlan looking at him, the smile on his face widened and his eyes sparkled.

Xia Songlan accidentally noticed that Ning Jingmo actually had dimples, which were shallow but extremely eye-catching, and she couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Ning Jingmo tilted his head, his eyebrows curved, and said teasingly: "Little Banlangen, you are seeing things straight."

There was familiarity and intimacy in his voice.

Xia Songlan was startled.

Her name was given by her grandfather. Isatis indigotica is the scientific name of Isatis indigotica, which most people don't know.

When Xia Songlan was a child, her parents were busy, so she always lived with her grandparents. Her grandparents always called her Little Isatis Root.

When I was 10 years old, in order not to drag down my grandfather, my grandmother took the initiative to file for a divorce and moved to Xia Songlan's house.

Xia Songlan also returned to her own home and could only see her grandfather once a week.

Grandpa would continue to teach her medical skills and take her to see patients, but he no longer called her Little Isatis Root.

From then on, my grandmother rarely called her that.

Gradually, no one called me by this nickname anymore.

When Xia Songlan first heard the People's Liberation Army comrades calling her like this today, she was very surprised.

I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or if he knows me and knows my nickname.

She looked at Ning Jingmo carefully and found that he looked very unfamiliar and she had no impression of him at all.

He couldn't help but frown and looked at Ning Jingmo in confusion.

Ning Jingmo was amused by her cute little expression.

This time he laughed loudly and heartily, "Haha... Xiao Banlangen, what are you thinking about?

Why not tell me and let me help you answer it. "

Xia Songlan didn't say anything, and her impression of Ning Jingmo became worse and worse.

I guess he might know some knowledge of Chinese medicine and called out my nickname by accident.

I also felt that he was a bit frivolous, not at all steady in front of a girl he met for the first time, and completely unworthy of the military uniform he was wearing.

But after all, the other party helped Grandpa Kang, and she couldn't blame him directly.

In the spirit of good upbringing, he quietly withdrew his gaze.

He quickened his pace and soon sent Ning Jingmo to the entrance of the alley.

The entrance to this alley is where Grandpa Kang slipped just now.

Their alley is called Jing'er Hutong.

Outside the alley is Xingfu Street.

Xia Songlan walked to the entrance of the alley and stopped.

He said goodbye to Ning Jingmo, "Comrade from the People's Liberation Army, it's getting dark, I will take you here! Have a safe journey."

Ning Jingmo looked at Xia Songlan with a fake smile on her face and found it extremely annoying.

He put his hands behind his back, leaned forward, and moved closer to Xia Songlan.

Xia Songlan's eyes widened in horror and her upper body involuntarily leaned back.

Ning Jingmo saw that Xia Songlan finally put away her fake smile, and then he stood up straight with satisfaction.

He gave Xia Songlan a standard military salute: "See you later... Xiao Banlangen."

Xia Song's blue pupils shrank slightly and he subconsciously took a step back.

Ning Jingmo didn't wait for her to say anything and turned and walked towards the east entrance of Xingfu Street.

He raised his right hand high and waved goodbye to Xia Songlan behind him.

Xia Songlan felt like she was being teased for no apparent reason.

Before she traveled through time, she focused on her studies and had never been in a relationship. Although she had suitors, she rejected them all on the grounds of studying.

In this novel world, she did receive a few love letters, but she returned them all and explicitly rejected them.

This was the first time a man had treated her like this openly.

Xia Songlan stomped her feet in annoyance and glared at Ning Jingmo who was walking away.

Unexpectedly, Ning Jingmo happened to turn around and met her gaze, followed by a burst of hearty laughter.

Xia Songlan quickly withdrew her gaze, not daring to stay any longer, and quickly walked back to the yard.

When he reached the gate of the courtyard, he felt relieved when he saw the bright lights in the houses. He tugged at the hem of his clothes, put on his calm and composed look, and walked into the courtyard.

Grandma Liu and Grandma Zhang happened to come out of Grandpa Kang's house.

Grandma Zhang said enthusiastically, "Songlan, this time it's all thanks to you. It's great to have a doctor living in this courtyard."

Grandma Liu: "That's true. There is a doctor in the yard, so we don't have to go to the hospital so much.

Last time I had a high fever, I thought I would have to be hospitalized. But I was given two injections and my fever went away."

Uncle Wang just happened to come out of his room and said, "Song Lan, have you sent the PLA comrades away?

Today's young people have a high level of quality. Look at the People's Liberation Army comrades wearing that green military uniform, they look so handsome.

That boy is really tall.”

The topic of the three people then turned to Ning Jingmo.

Xia Songlan had long been accustomed to their imaginative conversations. She responded with a few words, then found an excuse and went back to her room.

Grandma was sitting in the room reading a newspaper. When she saw Xia Songlan come in, she put down the newspaper and asked about the situation.

She was very sensitive about her origins as a daughter of a capitalist family, and rarely went out to chat or gossip with her neighbors unless necessary.

I always stay at home alone, reading books, newspapers, painting and growing flowers.

Xia Songlan told her grandmother about Grandpa Kang and went to the room to find the bandages.

When she came out again, the three of them were still chatting, not feeling cold at all. The topic now turned to the interesting stories of the No. 5 courtyard next door.

Xia Songlan rubbed her hands, greeted the three people with a smile, said a few words to them, and went to Grandpa Kang's room.

Kang Shengchen is helping Grandpa Kang apply cold compress.

Seeing Xia Songlan coming in, he greeted her warmly, "Songlan is here, go to the stove and warm your hands."

Seeing that she was holding a bandage, he added, “Thank you for bringing me the bandage.

Our supply and marketing cooperative also sells it. I will buy it and return it to you tomorrow."

Xia Songlan smiled and said, "Uncle Kang is too polite. It's just a few bandages. We still have some at home, so you don't have to return them."

Niu Li also chatted politely with Xia Songlan for a while.

Xia Songlan then taught them step by step how to tie Grandpa Kang's ankles and raise them with a quilt.

Grandpa Kang kept muttering, "Oh, I'm really getting old.

I remember when I was a servant in my master's house, I could carry 200 kilograms of rice at full speed in the middle of winter.

Now I sprain my ankle while taking a walk.

Oh, I have to admit that I am old. "

Kang Shengchen interrupted Grandpa Kang and said, "Dad, why are you mentioning the master again?

Now is a new society, there is no such thing as masters and servants, we are all the people."

Grandpa Kang was stunned for a moment, then he said cheerfully: "Yes, yes, we are all people... people."

His eldest son was the director of the street revolutionary committee, and he was always telling him not to say certain things and not to go to certain occasions.

But sometimes Grandpa Kang just can't control his mouth.

He glanced at Xia Songlan and saw that Xia Songlan still had that calm expression.

I thought, "This girl's grandmother is a capitalist lady, she won't go out and tell lies about me, right?"

But she said cheerfully, "Songlan, don't leave. Why don't you eat at our house? Your Aunt Niu has prepared a good meal."

Kang Shengchen also gave in, "Yes, yes, yes, let's eat at our house. We'll make noodles tonight...shredded pork noodles."

Being able to eat shredded pork noodles is already a very good life, and this is because Kang Shengchen and Niu Li are both working.

One of them works in a supply and marketing cooperative, and the other is a female bus driver. They have no children, so they support an old man like Grandpa Kang, and their income is more than enough.

When Grandpa Kang heard Kang Shengchen mention shredded pork noodles, he couldn't help but feel a little proud again, "Oh, life is so good now, it's just shredded pork noodles, life is good."

Xia Songlan carefully checked Grandpa Kang's health again and gave him some precautions before leaving with peace of mind.
