The Peasant Wife: The Prime Minister's Beloved

However, in this endless challenge, he has no regrets, because in his heart, protecting this land is protecting his home.

No matter how harsh the environment is, he is willing to shed his youth and blood here, and use his tenacious will and indomitable spirit to write his own heroic chapter.

In this land, he also met many like-minded comrades. They experienced the test of life and death together and forged a deep friendship that transcends blood ties. This friendship is stronger than gold and deeper than the sea.

The quiet night was suddenly torn apart by a sudden shout: "Enemy attack, enemy attack——"

These four words exploded in the camp like thunder, and Chen Yongfeng's heart tightened.

He closed his eyes and silently promised to the golden moon: "Dad, Mom, sister, don't worry. No matter how dangerous the road ahead is, I will return home safely and reunite with you again."

After uttering the oath, he suddenly opened his eyes and picked up the red tasseled spear beside him that symbolized honor.

This gun was a prize given to him by the general himself when he won the first place in a fierce competition when he first entered the military camp. The red tassel on the gun was like a burning flame, reflecting his determined face.

"charge!"

Following an order, he rushed towards the battlefield that was about to be baptized by war like an arrow, with only one belief in his heart - to defend this land until the last moment.

Inside the Chen residence, Chen Qiangsheng's face was flushed with alcohol and his steps were slightly tipsy. He was carefully supported by the eldest brother of the Chen family and walked towards the backyard, which was next to Fang Wenfu's residence.

Liu Xiufen followed gently behind, preparing to return to the house to take care of her drunk husband.

Brother Chen and his family decided to spend the night in the restaurant's private room. After all, it was understandable for his parents to stay at his sister's house, but as an older brother, it seemed a bit inappropriate to bring the whole family along.

They knew very well that even if their brother-in-law Xie Tianyi would not mind, the views and comments of outsiders might bring unnecessary trouble to their sister and even affect the family's reputation.

Chen Xi looked at the backs of his brother and his family, feeling mixed emotions, but he still couldn't resist his brother's insistence and stood up to see them out the door.

Brother Chen paused at the door, as if he had a thousand words stuck in his throat. In the end, he only looked at the words "Chen Mansion" carved on the lintel and slowly asked, "Sister, are you living in someone else's house?"

Chen Xi was confused for a moment when he heard this, and didn't understand why his brother would have such a question.

"No, brother, this is my own house."

Chen Xi explained with a smile, with a hint of pride in his tone.

"Then why is it called Chen Mansion instead of Xie Mansion?"

Brother Chen was obviously very curious about this and continued to ask questions.

Chen Xi chuckled and patiently explained that the Chen family has always been casual about what they do, so there is no need to stick to any formalities when it comes to where they live, and there is no need to worry about Xie Tianyi's feelings.

After all, this house was purchased with the income from her medical practice, so she could naturally put her own family name on it according to her wishes.

As the two brothers of the Chen family walked away with the children, Chen Xi was about to turn around and go back to the house, but was stopped by a hurried voice: "Doctor Chen, is that Doctor Chen?"

She turned around and although she confirmed that her surname was indeed Su and that she was indeed a doctor proficient in medicine, the face in front of her looked unfamiliar.

"Are you looking for me?"

"Excuse me, are you the doctor who helped a woman give birth in the clinic a few days ago? She gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl."

It turned out that the person asking the question was a little medicine boy from a nearby pharmacy, who came for urgent matters.

Chen Xi nodded and confirmed: "It's me, what's the matter?"

"Doctor Chen, we have a patient in critical condition tonight, foaming at the mouth. Master asked me to ask you to come over. I wonder if you can spare some time to go with me?"

The medicine boy's tone was full of anxiety and pleading.

Chen Xi did not hesitate at all, and immediately returned to the house to get the medicine box, and called Fang Wenfu, and followed the medicine boy to the clinic.

In the darkness of night, three figures hurriedly crossed the street and headed towards the brightly lit clinic.

After arriving at the clinic, Chen Xi couldn't wait to ask, "Where is the patient? Let us take a look."

She and Fang Wenfu quickly approached the bedside, gently placed their hands on the weak wrist, and through delicate pulse diagnosis, tried to find clues to the cause of the disease from the beating pulse.

Chen Xi gently opened the patient's eyelids again, carefully observed him, and combined with the pulse, he gradually came to a conclusion in his mind - this was obviously caused by food.

At this moment, the patient who was originally unconscious and foaming at the mouth suddenly trembled, regained some consciousness, hugged his abdomen tightly with both hands, and groaned in pain.

Chen Xi and Fang Wenfu exchanged glances, and they both understood that the patient was suffering from severe abdominal pain.

"Master and I will help him induce vomiting first. Please stand back to avoid being hurt by mistake."

Chen Xi ordered calmly.

Except for the patient's wife and the doctor from the clinic, everyone else at the scene stepped back to leave enough space for them to provide rescue.

The two of them cooperated well with each other and their techniques were skillful. In less than a quarter of an hour, the patient began to vomit violently, and the toxins in his body were discharged along with the filth.

The patient's wife brought the spittoon nervously and concernedly, and took it carefully, her face full of worry and heartache.

As the contents of his stomach were emptied, the patient's complexion gradually improved and his pain was significantly alleviated.

But Chen Xi knew that this was only a temporary relief, and the real cause needed further investigation.

She acted decisively and quickly wrote out a prescription in the clinic. Soon after the patient took the medicine, he ran to the toilet in the backyard, holding his stomach.

When he returned, although he still looked a little weak, his abdominal pain had completely disappeared and his spirit had recovered a lot.

"Thank you, doctor. Thank you for saving my husband's life."

The patient's wife burst into tears of gratitude, and the patient himself thanked him repeatedly. The pain he had just experienced was still fresh in his memory. If Chen Xi hadn't treated him in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.

Chen Xi smiled faintly and said earnestly: "It's just a small favor, but you need to think carefully, what did you eat that caused such a serious reaction?"

"Food poisoning?"

When the patient heard this, he was stunned. He had only eaten his usual food, so how could this happen?

"Doctor, I didn't eat anything indiscriminately. Today I just had a meal with my wife at the Good Luck Restaurant and then went straight home."

The patient tried hard to recall what he had eaten that day, trying to figure out what went wrong.

"I haven't had dinner yet, and I don't like breakfast, except for the meal at the restaurant."

He added, a hint of confusion in his tone.

Chen Xi frowned upon hearing this, thinking to himself, "Restaurant? Is this a coincidence, or did someone do it on purpose?" It seemed necessary to ask his second brother to investigate.

After dealing with the patient's condition, Chen Xi and Fang Wenfu set out on their journey home. It was already late at night, and the moonlight was like water, sprinkling all over the way home.

The next day, August 16, at dawn, Chen Xi and Xie Tianyi brought Xiaoyang and Xiaochen back to Xianghe Village again.
