13. Military Wife (13) (1/2)
When Lin Shiheng came back, he saw He Xiaobao, who smelled of medicinal wine, standing by the pot with a face filled with anticipation, stretching his neck to look at the dumplings inside with a greedy expression.
He coughed and called, "Xiaobao."
He Xiaobao immediately stood up straight reflexively, and a standard military posture appeared in front of Lin Shiheng.
"Yes, it seems that Deputy Zhang is really good at leading new recruits. It has only been a few days and he seems to be decent."
Can it be less presentable?
He Xiaobao's face turned bitter. If he didn't stand still, he would have to continue to stand when others went to rest. Otherwise, he would have to run in circles. Even if his legs were soft, he would have to run. He was so tired that he finally finished the run and had to eat with his legs soft. The food and the cooks have all gone back to the dormitories.
The worst thing is that he can't live in peace when he returns to the dormitory. It was so good at home before, with clothes on his hands, food on his hands, and food on his hands. He can do whatever he wants. Now he lives with a group of soldiers. His clothes must be clean, even the quilt. It has to be stacked into tofu cubes.
The most outrageous thing was that the stinky bed was the one he didn't wash his feet, but the people in his dormitory insisted on forcing him to wash his feet and wipe his body, and even forced him to apply soap.
Thinking of these sufferings, He Xiaobao did not dare to speak out against the fierce Vice-Tuan Zhang, so he picked out his group of roommates to complain to Lin Shiheng.
He originally thought that after hearing this, his brother-in-law would help stop the weird roommates who forced him to take a bath and wash his feet. However, he did not expect that Lin Shiheng would nod and smile after hearing this, with a look of relief: "It seems that you and them are getting along well."
He Xiaobao choked on his heart with a mouthful of blood, and looked aggrieved as he couldn't get up or down.
After finally recovering, he asked without giving up: "Brother-in-law, when can I go home?"
Lin Shiheng smiled and patted his shoulder: "When you become like my brother-in-law, you can go home."
He Xiaobao looked down at his limp arms, and then looked at his brother-in-law, who was neatly dressed in military uniform and had a slender figure. He could see an imposing figure just by standing there.
... He probably will never be like this in his life.
Just in the blink of an eye, he saw He Xuezhu coming back from shopping for vinegar, and immediately greeted him with an aggrieved face. He Xiaobao didn't dare to complain about Lin Shiheng's situation even if he had the courage to do so. He could only scurry around like a little monkey. He spun around her without raising his head in the process, not even daring to look at her brother-in-law.
"Sister, do you want to chop the garlic? Can I do it for you? I'll get this. I'll get it."
He Xuezhu smiled and looked at her brother's eagerness to help, her eyes filled with happiness.
Lin Shiheng hugged her shoulders and said warmly: "After dinner, come with me to the hospital later."
"What's wrong?" He Xuezhu's expression immediately became tense, "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"No, one of my soldiers injured his hand while clearing mines. He has been in the hospital for a few days. I went back to my hometown two days ago and was busy with things when I came back. I never bothered to visit him. I don’t have a wife either, so I’ll probably have to eat and drink in the hospital. I’ll give him a box of dumplings later and let him meet your sister-in-law.”
Mentioning this, He Xuezhu's face turned red and she lightly patted her husband's hand on her shoulder: "Don't always praise me to them in the future. It's embarrassing."
"What's so embarrassing about this."
Lin Shiheng smiled fondly and pinched his wife's tender face: "My Xuezhu is already excellent, but they are all begging me for the medicinal wine you made."
"By the way, how do you feel about the medical book I gave you? If you can't understand it, how about taking it to the hospital and asking the doctor there to help you study it?"
He Xuezhu shook her head with bright eyes: "You can understand it all, Shi Heng, this book is so amazing. Sister-in-law Qiu next door sprained her ankle this morning. I tried the method above, and it actually worked right away." alright."
"Is it really that great?" Lin Shiheng also showed a bit of surprise on his face: "I saw it at a small bookstall when I was buying clothes for you. I bought it because I thought you would like it. If it's really that good, next time Let’s go buy it together next time, I remember there are a few more.”
"Let's go, don't take the book. We also have to choose some good-looking clothes. I also stayed in the hospital for a few days, and the doctors and nurses there also took good care of me. We just introduced them together."
He Xiaobao was chopping garlic hard, watching his sister being taken by his brother-in-law to choose clothes, and he was thinking while chopping garlic.
My brother-in-law said that he would become like him.
So does it count to buy books and clothes for my wife?
***
When He Xuezhu arrived at the hospital with her husband wearing new clothes, Zhou Qianqian outside was shouldered a big blame out of thin air.
At that time, many people saw when she stopped He Xiaobao. Although Zhou Qianqian's words could not be heard by others because of the volume of her voice, He Xiaobao fell heavily to the ground and fell flat on his face, and when he got up, he looked aggrieved and accused that he wanted to cry. Everyone heard it clearly.
After that, He Xiaobao wiped away his tears and ran away, leaving Zhou Qianqian alone with so many people looking at her with strange looks. She stamped her foot angrily and returned to her and her husband's house.
Even though Zhou Qianqian left, the rumors did not stop, especially in the past two days, I witnessed with my own eyes how she targeted several of Lin Shiheng's military wives.
When it happened, they were all sitting not far away knitting.
Seeing Zhou Qianqian leave, several people looked at each other: "Is that Xue Zhu's younger brother?"
"No, it's okay for her to say bad things about Captain Lin before. Why is she bullying her younger brother now?"
"It's not necessarily bullying. Maybe there is some misunderstanding between the two of them. After all, they are not very old."
Upon hearing this, one of the military wives said disapprovingly: "Is there any misunderstanding? Didn't you see that the children fell to the ground? I saw it really. It was Zhou Qianqian who stopped her and said What the hell, she stopped him from letting me go, and even cried after he fell. This kid doesn't look like he can cause trouble. "
"Yes, I just met that child yesterday. He is a very well-behaved child. He does whatever Deputy Commander Zhang tells him to do without uttering a word. Commander Lin is too upright and doesn't let anyone take care of him. I guess this kid was bullied by Deputy Zhang and didn’t tell Captain Lin, otherwise Captain Lin would definitely have come forward.”
Speaking of this, several other military wives looked a little more disdainful.
Zhang Yanming has always been confident, and he has been spoiled by his family since he was a child. He feels that he does things openly and does not need to be covered up, so he doesn't even bother to find a reason when he torments He Xiaobao.
But the more he struggled, the more people became curious about why he would target a recruit like this. Gradually, even people who didn't know about it before came to know that Deputy Commander Zhang was interested in him because his newlywed wife liked Commander Lin. Against his brother-in-law.
Then, we can find out how Deputy Zhang's newlywed wife had confessed her love in various ways despite the fact that Captain Lin had a family. In the end, she resolutely chose Deputy Zhang when Captain Lin was in a coma for four days.
They had never heard of such a woman. They had previously wondered if Deputy Zhang had been brainwashed, but judging from the fact that he had been tormenting innocent recruits because of personal vendettas these past few days, they were afraid of something. The pot comes with a lid.
"I don't know what Vice-Tuan Zhang is thinking. Everyone sees what he does. The people above him are not deaf or blind. If he continues like this, he will be punished sooner or later."
"Don't you think it's normal for someone who got involved with the nurse named Miao Xing in the hospital? Deputy Zhang was a little harder to get along with before, and he's not as hard to get along with now. And Zhou Qianqian, who was quite cool before. A normal little daughter-in-law, now, she insists on dragging Captain Lin to let go. Let’s not say that Captain Lin has no problem at all. Even if there is really a problem, she doesn’t give Captain Lin face because she wants to hurt her family to death. Be a man."
"Yes, that seems to be the case."
"I heard that Deputy Zhang has already applied for it and received his marriage certificate. It is estimated that Miao Xing will live in our yard in a while. If he gets involved with her..."
Although everyone now talks about feudal superstition, after all, the years have not passed yet, and they still believe more or less in this. After hearing these words, whether they believed it or not, they all made up their mind to stay away from that person named Miao. .
Miao Xing didn't know that she had been implicated by Zhou Qianqian before she came, which made a group of people unhappy. It was break time, and she was being criticized by the head nurse.
"You have been working as a nurse for several years. How could you make such a low-level mistake? It's such a long tube of air. If I hadn't discovered it quickly, you would have been punched in!"
"That's to protect the injured soldiers of our country. If something happens to you, can you afford it? Can you have a good conscience!"
The head nurse was also furious. Originally, she was dissatisfied with Miao Xing, who had made frequent mistakes and omissions in the past few days, but today she almost punched such a long tube of air into the injured soldier's body. This was a fatal matter, if it weren't for her If stopped in time, no one knows what will happen.
Miao Xing lowered his head and clenched his hands hanging on his sides.
It was not her fault in the first place. She just married Zhang Yanming. So what if she had pursued Lin Shiheng before? The man was unmarried and the woman was unmarried. She did nothing wrong. However, the nurses and doctors around her treated her badly. Pointing and pointing made her feel uneasy, otherwise, there would be no mistake.
Originally, if she had admitted her mistake, since no big losses had been caused, the matter would have been over, but Miao Xing looked so unconvinced, and the fire in the head nurse's heart suddenly became even more intense.
She was about to open her mouth to criticize a few more words, but suddenly there was a knock on the door. She turned around and saw Lin Shiheng in a straight military uniform holding a beautifully dressed and pretty girl beside him.
The head nurse was stunned: "Captain Lin?"
"Did I bother you?" Lin Shiheng's face showed just the right amount of apology and embarrassment, "That's right, I came to see one of my soldiers today. Thinking of how well everyone has taken care of me, I came to say hello and send some wedding candy."
As he spoke, he stepped forward, grabbed a handful of candies from the bag and handed them to the head nurse.
"Ah, thank you, who is this?"
Hearing the head nurse's question, Lin Shiheng looked sideways at the people beside him and said warmly: "This is my wife, He Xuezhu. She is pregnant. It is our custom to give out wedding candy to people around you when you are pregnant. All the boys have gone crazy. We need to go to the hospital. Thank you for rescuing me. "
Everyone could see the gentle, loving and happy look in his eyes when the handsome man in military uniform looked at his wife. The head nurse quickly congratulated her, but Miao Xing on the side raised his eyes secretly, looking at Lian Lian who was leaning against her. He Xuezhu, who was in her husband's arms, had a trace of disdain on her face.
She is just a woman who is dependent on a man. Apart from the child in her belly, she has nothing else.
The head nurse had just watched the two of them leave. When she turned around, she saw the expression on Miao Xing's face, and her eyes immediately darkened: "What's that look in your face?"
"It's nothing." Miao Xing felt angry and replied in a cold tone: "My stomach hurts. I'm going to the toilet."
After saying that, she walked straight out without even looking at the ugly face of the head nurse.
Naturally, going to the toilet is fake, just taking the opportunity to come out.
Isn't it just a piece of air? She had accidentally injected a small section into the patient's body before, but nothing happened.
The only difference was that no one noticed it that time.
Miao Xing was not grateful to the head nurse for stopping her, and was even a little resentful. If she hadn't discovered it, nothing would have happened if the air had been blown in. But now, everyone including the injured soldier knew that it was her fault, Miao Xing. Almost knocked the air out.
She washed her hands well, hid the resentment on her face, and then went back slowly.
As a result, when I walked to the door, before I opened the door, I heard a crisp female voice inside.
"What's that look like when she looks at Captain Lin's wife? Does she look down on her?"
Miao Xing paused and stood at the door with a gloomy face, listening to what was going on inside.
"Yes, I could see clearly from where I was sitting. It was Captain Lin who had a good temper and didn't care about her. If it had been anyone else, he would have gotten angry a long time ago."
"Tell me, does she still remember Captain Lin? Otherwise, why would she look at my wife with that look?"
"Definitely, but let me tell you, Captain Lin's wife looks gentle and good-looking. She looks more temperamental than Miao Xing. No wonder Captain Lin didn't choose her."
"Hey, I just saw the clothes that Captain Lin's wife is wearing in the department store in the city last week. It's very valuable. I don't know if Captain Lin bought it for me. I was sitting there just now, looking at Captain Lin's clothes. The look in his eyes showed that his wife was really gentle. They must have a good relationship. Unlike Miao Xing, Deputy Zhang didn’t come to pick her up after they got married. Wasn’t he just married to the deputy director and acted like a boss every day? The way her dick looked, it was clearly the job of both of us last time, but she didn’t do it herself and still blamed me for not doing a good job. It’s really annoying.”
"Okay, stop talking. If you have time, you might as well go to the ward and see the patients." Although the head nurse couldn't stand Miao Xing's increasingly weird temper, she didn't like to talk about people behind their backs, so she said Stand up on your own to get out.
"That's right. Miao Xing was outdone by Captain Lin's wife from head to toe. I saw that the look in her eyes just now was clearly jealous."
The head nurse opened the door, and Miao Xing standing outside was exposed to everyone's eyes.
The atmosphere in the room immediately became quiet.
Miao Xing's body was trembling with anger, and the jealousy she had been trying to conceal was ripped away, causing her to lose her mind.
"Am I not as good as her?"
"A rural woman who only went to elementary school and has never worked at home since she got married, am I not as good as her?"
"Do you think it's still the old society? When you get married, you just need to live happily at home? At least I'm still a nurse. She, He Xuezhu, is just a rural woman at best. She doesn't even have any skills. From head to toe, she can't compare to me. That’s right!”
As soon as she finished saying this, there was a sudden "bang" sound outside. Everyone looked over subconsciously, only to see a doctor in a white coat not far from the door, clutching his chest and twitching on the ground.
The head nurse was startled and rushed over: "Director Wang? Director Wang?!"
"Hurry up, go call Dr. Liu and the others."
A nurse hurriedly went to the doctor's office and came back with a panicked look on her face: "Dr. Liu and the others are not here. They probably went to eat. I'll go downstairs to look for him."
The head nurse was trying hard to help Director Wang on the ground breathe, "Hurry up, you guys go get the equipment, he can't breathe now."
"Uh... uh..."
Director Wang couldn't breathe at all. His face was red from holding back, and he fell to the ground with his face covered in pain. He was clutching his chest with his hands. There was a lot of chaos around him. The doctors were all eating downstairs. It was probably too late to be called up.
People in the surrounding wards heard the noise and opened their doors to look. He Xuezhu was sitting next to her husband with a smile, listening to him talk about interesting things in the army. Lin Shiheng suddenly raised his head: "Is there any movement outside?"
"I gonna go see."
He Xuezhu stood up and opened the door, and saw this busy scene at a glance.
She was startled and suddenly remembered the medical book she had just read in the morning. There was a symptom in it that was exactly the same as this one. If this situation was not treated quickly, the other person would definitely suffocate.
He Xuezhu didn't care about anything else, and quickly ran forward and pressed hard on an acupuncture point according to the method in the medical book, and then hit his back hard.
"Cough cough cough..."
Director Wang coughed hard several times and was finally able to breathe. The redness on his face gradually disappeared, and he held his chest and gasped hard.
"Okay, okay, it's okay. Let him stand up and walk around. The more he walks, the faster he will breathe."
The head nurse quickly helped Director Wang stand up. Before he could even breathe, he weakly thanked him: "Thank you, thank you..."
"It's okay, just walk back and forth in the corridor." He Xuezhu herself was extremely excited. This was the first time she used the skills she learned to save someone. It wasn't something as trivial as a twisted foot, but a living person. Life was saved by her.
When she reacted and tried to stand up, she realized that her legs were weak.
"Come." A gentle voice came from behind. He Xuezhu turned around and saw that it was Lin Shiheng who was gently lifting her up. He looked at her with surprise and pride in his eyes: "Xuezhu, you are so amazing."
If He Xuezhu was only excited just now, now, after receiving praise from her husband, she was completely relaxed.
Did she really save someone?
The little nurses who brought equipment to the side and found that they did not need the equipment had their eyes bright and looked at He Xuezhu with admiration on their faces, "Are you a doctor? You are really amazing."
He Xuezhu blushed and waved her hands quickly: "No, it's not..."
"Yes, Xuezhu's father is a doctor. She is very smart and learns everything quickly. She is currently reading medical books and is planning to continue her studies."
"Wow!! Then he will be a very good doctor in the future!"
"Yes, yes, that move just now was really powerful."
"Will you come to our hospital to be a doctor in the future? It will be closer to Captain Lin this way!"
Being looked at with admiration and yearning by a group of young nurses, and listening to their chattering compliments, He Xuezhu's deep-seated inferiority made her a little embarrassed. She looked up at her husband as if asking for help, but saw Lin Shiheng's face full of pride.
Shi Heng...are you proud of her?
She felt settled and leaned into her husband's arms again.
Lin Shiheng hugged his wife and said with a smile: "It depends on Xue Zhu's arrangements. I won't hold her back. This is not an ordinary skill. It can save people's lives, so we can't be careless."
A skill...
"Why does this sentence sound so familiar?"
The eyes of several nurses fell on the door vaguely.
At the door, Miao Xing, who just said that He Xuezhu didn't even have any skills, looked livid.
