Chapter 43
Xu Wen blinked
Lu Yuanzheng’s hand was still hanging quietly at the side
Xu Wen suspected that she had just made a mistake, and sighed softly, “It’s all because of you! It makes me feel like my eyes are not working well at such a young age!”
Xu Man has saved half a year’s worth of words to say
He was much relieved when he finished and smiled, “It’s great that you’re still alive!”
Lu Yuanzheng’s fingers moved again
Xu Man this time sure that he did not see wrong, abruptly stood up from the chair and ran outside
“Doctor ”
By the time Xu Man led the doctor on duty, Lu Yuanzheng had already opened his eyes
Sort of!
The swollen eyes with only a slit left in them seemed not too far off from not being open
The doctor on duty examined Lu Yuanzheng and first said to Xu Wen, “Don’t worry, he’s fine! He’ll be discharged after he recovers from his injuries” He turned his head to look at Lu Yuanzheng and smiled, “You’re a really lucky comrade! I’ve learned a lot from you”
The doctor made a figure eight with his right hand, “You’ve been given eight critical notices alone! You’ve occupied our best operating room twenty-three times by yourself!”
Lu Yuanzheng moved his head, his eyes glancing towards Xu Wen
Unfortunately, his eyes were swollen beyond recognition, so the doctor on duty didn’t see his point and continued to tsk, “Do you know how many miracles you’ve created for our hospital? This batch of interns no longer need to be afraid of writing papers without information! You ”
Lu Yuanzheng interrupted him in a mute voice: “Get lost!”
Xu Wen: “”
Are you polite to talk to your savior like that?
Lu Yuanzheng could see Xu Man’s thoughts, swallowed his saliva to moisten his hot throat, and said, “I know you”
In fact, he was very familiar with her, that’s why he spoke so freely
The doctor on duty also smacked his lips at this moment, Lu Yuanzheng was not letting him tell this female comrade about his injuries So he quickly found a way to make up for it and asked Xu with a smile, “Sister-in-law, you don’t have to worry! As the saying goes, ‘Good people don’t live long, but bad things last a thousand years! He’s a regular visitor to our hospital, he comes here dozens of times a year, and he always comes back alive at the end The king of hell won’t even accept him!”
Xu asked, “” and was not comforted
Lu Yuanzheng once again kicked people out: “Get out!”
“Yes, sir!” The doctor on duty walked out with the folder in his hand, still asking Xu Man, “Sister-in-law, give him some water! Listen to that muffled voice and he’s cursing like a duck! He’s just kicking out the guests”
Lu Yuanzheng swore that when he got off the ground, he would definitely punish him!
Xu Wen thought for a moment and first moistened Lu Yuanzheng’s lips with lukewarm water from a cotton swab
He then mixed some warm water and helped him up
During the process, he didn’t know where he touched, and Lu Yuanzheng instantly turned white, with a layer of fine sweat on his forehead
“I’m sorry!” Xu Wen apologized hastily, “Where did you touch?”
Lu Yuanzheng shook his head, “Nothing”
After drinking some water, Lu Yuanzheng’s throat felt better and asked her, “Why did you come?”
Xu asked, “”
“It’s a long story, do you want to hear it?”
Lu Yuanzheng nodded with a smile
Xu asked to speak not too slowly, have their own rhythm, voice clear crisp especially good to listen to her talk is a kind of enjoyment
He had just woken up and didn’t have much strength to speak, so listening to her was satisfying
Xu Wen then briefly recounted the events from the receipt of his suicide note to the present
“I’m sorry! Not only did I offend your uncle to the core but I also shook Dongsheng’s life clean” Xu Wen was a bit embarrassed, although she didn’t say that she was sorry, but she thought that she had severed her kinship with her uncles for the rest of her life at the time she disliked them
Without Lu Yuanzheng as a link, they didn’t know each other well at all
Who would have thought that Lu Yuanzheng was still alive, wouldn’t it be embarrassing to go back?
Lu Yuanzheng shook his head, “It’s fine” After a pause, he apologized, “I’ve let you suffer”
“I can’t say I’m wronged, I didn’t suffer anyway” Xu Wen thought for a moment, “Your uncles will probably have a hard time this year”
Can it be good? They were just punished by the commune The official was also jerked off, rations were also deducted, the most disturbing thing for them was that Xu Man’s mother and son were offended, but Lu Yuanzheng was still alive
Lu Yuanzheng sighed softly, “It was my negligence”
He thought that relatives could be the same as comrades in arms who could trust their lives
However, he didn’t realize that he had been away from home for a long time, and his uncles, especially his aunt and uncle, were not close to him
It makes sense that he would not be able to treat Dongsheng as if he were his own
Xu Wen was even more than he expected, able to do this for Dongsheng
“Thank you!”
“There’s no need to be so polite between husband and wife”
After Xu Wen finished this sentence, the room suddenly fell silent
An indescribable feeling flowed between the two people
Or it could be called embarrassment
Could it not be awkward? The two hadn’t seen each other a few times from the time they met to the time they got married
Counting Xu Wen and Dongsheng’s relationship were all much better than Xu Wen and Lu Yuanzheng
After all, they have been together for half a year
Lu Yuanzheng left on the day of the wedding
It’s no exaggeration to say that Xu Man has almost forgotten what his face looks like
Without mentioning it, it was fine, but once this was mentioned, both of them blushed slightly
There were some other subtle emotions in this embarrassment
Xu Wen was a bit uncomfortable
In order not to be so embarrassed, she said without words, “By the way, I have to apologize to you”
“Hmm?”
“I sold the record player”
“Why?”
“I didn’t know what kind of injury you had, and I was afraid that I didn’t have enough money in my hand A rich family in the commune liked it, so I sold it for a little extra”
You don’t just have to have money to buy a big item like a radio, you also need industrial coupons, and some of them need foreign exchange coupons
Ordinary people can’t afford to buy them without money or tickets
Xu Wen put out the message to sell recorders, and it just so happened that some people in the commune wanted to buy them without tickets
She also wanted to sell her bicycle and sewing machine, but couldn’t find a suitable buyer before she boarded the train
This time, Lu Yuanzheng was silent for a while before he spoke, “You’re good at picking up what’s worth selling”
He bought that four-speaker recorders is to overseas exchange coupons, really is a relationship owed a few favors to buy
The recorder itself wasn’t cheap, costing more than five hundred dollars, the price caught up with the other three turns
Xu Wen is not unaware that the recorder is worth money, just that at that time, I heard that he was seriously ill and dying, a bit anxious
She also did not know how much money to cure the road expedition, she and Dongsheng came a long way, the road to eat and drink with, to the hospital to eat and drink with
Less money is afraid of not enough
Xu asked sardonically, “I did not expect to come to the accommodation without spending money, your unit people will give arrangements”
“Actually ,” Lu Yuanzheng’s throat knots rolled down, or decided to be honest, “I don’t have to spend money on hospitalization either”
“Ah!” This time Xu Wen was truly shocked, “Are the benefits that good?”
Lu Yuanzheng nodded
“I thought there would be a discount at most!” Xu Man was a bit chagrined, “I should have known not to sell it”
It was only sold for six hundred dollars, a loss
In her previous life, she didn’t have the chance to understand the military either
She only knew that hospitals and airports would have the words “Military Priority”
On the contrary, she had seen attractions with military personnel for free, and didn’t know that they didn’t pay for medical treatment
“Normal” Lu Yuanzheng understood, “Going to other hospitals still costs money, only the military hospital doesn’t”
He didn’t mean to blame Xu Wen, he was simply popularizing it for her
“Thank you! Willing to dump your family’s money to save me!”
Lu Yuanzheng was truly touched, he was genuinely surprised that Xu Man was able to travel all the way this far
Seeing Xu Man’s chagrined face, Lu Yuanzheng thoughtfully changed the topic, “The road was hard, wasn’t it? Next time you know I’m not dead, don’t toss it It is not safe for a lesbian especially a beautiful lesbian like you to go out In case something happens to you I’ll have to regret it for the rest of my life”
Xu Man wasn’t that innocent, and still made some homemade chili water and small stun batons to hide on her body
She was already a high school student, so it wasn’t hard to get some of these
“Sister-in-law, it’s getting late, we should go back!” Auntie Tian pushed the door in and froze when she saw Lu Yuanzheng, “Ya! You’re awake? Good guy! All these people have been serving you for almost a month and you didn’t wake up, but this daughter-in-law woke up the same day she arrived? If you had said so earlier, I would have gone back to my hometown and brought my sister-in-law here”
Xu asked, “”
“Dad!” Dongsheng was especially happy to see Lu Yuanzheng awake, jumping and pouncing on him
Xu Man exclaimed, “Be careful!” But she was separated by a hospital bed and was too late to stop Dongsheng
Dongsheng small, can not control the force, this to pounce on the solid Lu Yuanzheng wound must be cracked
Lu Yuanzheng lifted his left hand that was not infused with fluids, grabbed Dongsheng’s collar, and nodded at Auntie Tian first, “Good day, sister-in-law! Why are you here?” Only then did he say to Dongsheng, “Does your kid not want a father anymore? I’m all bruised up and can’t be hugged!”
Dongsheng let out a cry and stood honestly by the bedside
Auntie Tian pointed to Dongsheng and then to Xu Wen, “Dongsheng brought his sister-in-law to me It is not convenient for them to come in and out of the compound for the first time It is estimated that Old Song brought the mother and son back to the command”
“Battalion Commander Song? What did he go to the command headquarters for?”
Auntie Tian nodded, “Right He’s not a battalion commander anymore soon, he’s been promoted and transferred to the Command Headquarters this time, just that the transfer order hasn’t come down yet”
Lu Yuanzheng nodded and turned his face to Xu asked, “Then you don’t worry about staying there There shouldn’t be many places under the sky that are safer than there Tomorrow, let your sister-in-law accompany you to get an access card, so it’ll be convenient in the future”
Xu asked, “”
“It’s getting late, you guys go back first!”
Xu Man was a little hesitant, “Why don’t I stay and accompany you”
Lu Yuanzheng shook his head, “You’ve traveled all the way, go back and rest first, come back tomorrow”
Xu Man saw his firm attitude, plus Auntie Tian waited for her, so she couldn’t say anything more
As soon as she pushed open the ward door, she saw the young man who had gone to fetch hot water sitting on a bench in the corridor waiting, and when she saw the three of them come out, she busily got up “Sister-in-law”
“I still have to work hard for you today I’ll take sister-in-law back first Lu Lian’s side still needs to trouble you to take care of it” Auntie Tian smiled and said
“I should” The young man finished carrying the thermos back to the hospital room
Xu Wen heard Lu Yuanzheng call out to him just as he entered, “Hurry! Help me to the toilet! That grandson Li Daoming ”
Xu Wen: “” She remembered that the name written on the on-duty doctor’s badge was Li Daoming
No wonder he wouldn’t let her stay with him
Xu asked her red face, not to mention Lu Yuanzheng she was embarrassed
As the three of them walked out of the hospital, Xu Man suddenly remembered that she hadn’t told Lu Yuanzheng that she had come here today
Auntie Tian didn’t say anything either
Then why did Lu Yuanzheng know?
So, Lu Yuanzheng was able to hear her when he was unconscious
To be exact, he wasn’t unconscious but couldn’t open his eyes
Xu asked, “”
If it wasn’t for the fact that Auntie Tian was still with her, she would’ve wanted to slap herself, what was she talking to herself there for half a day?
“Sister-in-law, never bothered to ask, what’s your name?” Auntie Tian suddenly spoke
“My name is Xu Wen”
“What a nice name” Auntie Tian complimented, “My name is Tian Jiao Hua, if you feel awkward calling your sister-in-law, you can call me Sister Hua”
Xu Man still preferred this title, “Sister Hua is good”
“Ask, when did you and Zhengzi get married?”
“The very day he received his orders”
“Huh? Wouldn’t that mean the wedding wasn’t even done?”
“Uh-huh”
Sister Hua thought about it and sighed softly, “It’s not easy for military wives A half-done wedding like yours is still considered good At least he welcomed you into his home Many sisters-in-law don’t even have time to organize a wedding, some come to the door by themselves, and some let their family brothers welcome them on their behalf
This is just the beginning! You have to be mentally prepared when you marry
He may not even tell you where he’s going or what he’s doing or when he’s coming back
He often disappears without a word of greeting
You worry about half a day, he came back is a surprise, can not come back ”
Sister Hua shook her head and didn’t continue
Xu Wen was silent for a while, “I know”
Already personally experienced a time can not know?
“Look at me you just came what am I talking to you about this for?” Sister Hua vainly patted down her mouth, “A great disaster will have a later blessing! Zhengzi will be blessed to have you in the future!”
“I hope so!”
