Four years passed in the blink of an eye, and it was 1936.
Xiang Nan is twenty years old and Juxian is eighteen years old.
The two officially married and held a grand wedding. They invited local gentry and celebrities in Macau, and the banquet alone had dozens of tables, which was really grand.
That evening, Xiang Nan went to Wushan with Juxian.
After more than four years of nursing, Juxian is now in great shape.
Not only does she have a gorgeous appearance, she also has a plump and plump figure. It’s no wonder that she became the number one star in the film. She is indeed well-deserved.
Xiang Nan got his wife in this way, so naturally she got her right wife, and she was very blessed.
Juxian is also very happy that she can marry Xiang Nan.
She was just a country girl who was sold by her family for 20 yuan to spend all her life. If Xiang Nan had not redeemed her, she would still be tortured in the fire pit now.
Over the years, Xiang Nan has been very kind to her. He has never owed her food and clothing, and he has also taught her to read, read, and learn medical skills. It can be said that Xiang Nan is not only a benefactor, but also a master and a friend to her.
Juxian felt really happy to be able to marry him, and was glad that she could finally repay Xiang Nan for everything he had done to her over the years.
Hence, after getting married, the relationship between the two became inseparable, and they were on the same page, which can be said to be quite sweet.
…
Three months after Xiang Nan and Juxian got married, Xiaodouzi graduated from middle school and was going to Xiangjiang to attend preparatory school.
Because Macau’s population at that time was only more than 100,000, and it was not even a larger town in the mainland. Naturally, it did not have its own university.
Hong Kong, by comparison, has a population of more than one million. At that time, a city with a population of over one million was considered a big city. The capital city is so prosperous, but its population is only over one million.
There are several universities in Xiangjiang, such as Xiangjiang University, Lingnan University, St. Paul's College, Government Normal College, etc.
Xiaodouzi applied for the medical school of Xiangjiang University, planning to be a doctor who can save lives and heal the wounded like his senior brother in the future.
Xiang Nan agrees very much with this.
The profession of doctor is very valued in Western society. It not only has high income, but also has high status.
In "Friends", Rachel Green's father is a doctor and his income is very generous, allowing their family to live a prosperous life.
For example, her sister bought a yacht for a friend she just met with a simple swipe. Rachel was unhappy because her pony was sick, so her father bought her a boat to comfort her...
Of course, the most important thing is that after Xiaodouzi studies medicine, he can support himself. Of course, with Xiang Nan's financial resources, it would be no problem to support him for a lifetime, but it would be better if Xiaodouzi could stand on his own.
"Junior brother, after arriving in Xiangjiang, you must study hard. Senior brother will come to see you often." Xiang Nan said to Xiaodouzi with a smile.
"I will definitely do it, senior brother." Xiaodouzi nodded and said, "You and Sister Juxian are also doing well, and I will come back to see you from time to time."
After so many years of getting along, they are more like relatives than relatives, and have already accumulated quite deep feelings.
“Well, let’s go.” Xiang Nan waved goodbye and watched Xiaodouzi leave by boat.
Juxian also had tears in her eyes. In her heart, she already regarded Xiaodouzi as her biological brother.
…
Time flies, another year has passed.
In 1937, Dongyang fully invaded China and the capital fell.
Fortunately, they came to Macau in advance, otherwise, they would have been in danger and become slaves of the country.
It was also this year that Juxian became pregnant. In February of 1938, a daughter was successfully born.
Xiang Nan named him Duan Xinyi.
Xinyi is the name of the medicine, which is obtained by drying the buds of magnolia flowers. Magnolia, also known as magnolia and wooden pen, is a unique plant in China. The flowers are gorgeous and pleasant, the fragrance is elegant, the tree shape is graceful, and the branches are luxuriant.
Xiang Nan also hopes that his daughter will be beautiful and healthy when she grows up.
In October of the same year, eastern Guangdong fell, and a large number of refugees poured into Macau, causing Macau's population to surge.
The city is full of refugees, bringing their families, the old and the young with them. There is no house to live in, so you can only lie on the street, enduring the wind, rain, and sun. It can be said to be miserable.
The influx of a large number of refugees has also caused prices in Macau to boil.
In the past, one ocean could buy twenty kilograms of rice, but now one ocean can only buy two or three kilograms of rice. Originally, a piece of ocean could buy four to five kilograms of pork, but now it can't even buy one kilogram of pork.
Fortunately, Xiang Nan was prepared and had prepared food several years in advance, so the Duan family was not short of food.
In order to serve Juxian, Xiang Nan specially bought two smart girls and hired an honest and hard-working old woman.
In this way, at least the three families can be fed and clothed temporarily.
After all, if he doesn't buy it, those two girls will be bought by others. At that time, there is a high probability that it will be sold into a pit of fire. And he hired the old woman, paid her wages, and fed her family.
Xiang Nan is just a pity that his ability is limited and he cannot save too many people.
…
In 2001, Xiaodouzi graduated from the Medical College of Xiangjiang University.
Xiang Nan and Juxian closed their doors for three days and went to Xiangjiang to attend his graduation ceremony.
“Xiaodouzi, congratulations, you have graduated successfully. All the seniors are happy for you.” Xiang Nan smiled and congratulated you.
Xiaodouzi’s performance has always been good during one year of preparatory school and four years of university. He even received a full scholarship from the University of Hong Kong, making Xiang Nan even proud of him.
"Thank you, senior brother." Xiaodouzi also smiled, and then led a girl with a delicate appearance and outstanding temperament, "Senior brother, Sister Juxian, this is my girlfriend Zhang Ruohan. Ruohan, this is my senior brother Duan Xiaolou , This is my sister-in-law Juxian."
“Hello, senior brother and senior sister-in-law,” Zhang Ruohan said with a smile.
"Hello, Miss Zhang." Xiang Nan and Juxian both smiled, "Die Yi is really lucky. He has found a girlfriend as beautiful as you. I am very happy for him."
“Thank you.” Zhang Ruohan smiled, and then said, “My family is over there, I’ll go there first and come back later.”
“Okay, you’re busy.” Xiang Nan nodded.
“Senior brother, there is something I want to discuss with you.” After Zhang Ruohan left, Xiaodouzi said to Xiang Nan.
"If you have anything to say, why don't you be polite to me?" Xiang Nan said with a smile.
“That’s right, Ruohan and I have discussed it and want to stay and work in Xiangjiang.” Xiaodouzi explained.
"Not bad." Juxian smiled upon hearing this, "I think that girl is good, beautiful and elegant. Xiaodouzi, she is really a good choice."
Xiang Nan was stunned for a moment, but shook his head, "Xiaodouzi, you can't stay in Xiangjiang and come back to Macau with me."
“Senior brother, why is this?” Xiaodouzi didn’t understand.
Senior brother has always supported his independence. Now that he wants to stay in Xiangjiang, he also has the idea of being independent. After all, he has grown up and it is time to support himself.
At that time, with his academic qualifications, it was not difficult at all to find a job. After all, a bachelor's degree was definitely considered a top talent in Xiangjiang at that time, and every hospital was eager to get it.
