"I don't like it, take it back."
After she finished speaking, the smile on Li Qiuyan's face froze instantly, and she looked at her in disbelief.
Wen Nuan knew that Gu Qinghan was a good man, otherwise Li Qiuyan would not have come directly to him. She must have known that he would not refuse.
Li Qiuyan probably thought that she was also a thin-skinned person, and that as long as she dragged the board over, she could embarrass people and then help her.
Although Gu Qinghan is a good guy, she is not.
If Gu Qinghan can't refuse, then let her refuse it.
Anyway, she doesn't want to be a pushover, she just wants to live a comfortable life. As for what Li Qiuyan thinks of her, she doesn't care!
Wen Nuan also smiled at Li Qiuyan, blinked innocently, and said softly: "Sister Li, since you asked for my opinion, I will answer you truthfully. I really don't want Qinghan to help me with this."
After saying that, Wen Nuan walked towards Gu Qinghan. She didn't want to see his expression and just stood beside him.
Slowly, "Let's not talk about how long my Qinghan has to train in the army every day, and how tiring the training is. I just want to ask you a question, sister-in-law. If Qinghan takes the lead in helping you, and other sisters-in-law come to him for help in the future, do you think we should agree to it?"
The smile on Li Qiuyan's lips completely disappeared, her face began to turn pale, and she opened her mouth slightly, "This... This is indeed not good, but my family doesn't have a man. Since he died, all the big and small things in the family have been handled by me, a little woman. Other families at least have a man to help out. If I really had no other choice, I would not be embarrassed to ask you this."
It was cooking time, and many people heard the noise and poked their heads out of the kitchen door. Some who wanted to eat early simply took their meals and squatted at the gate of the yard to watch the fun.
Wen Nuan saw that Li Qiuyan was just using the excuse that "there's no man at home to help me", so she felt that others should do her a favor.
It seems like if I don’t help her, I’d be a sinner.
She looked at the two rows of red brick houses nearby and saw many more people. She simply raised her voice and said, "Sister-in-law, what you said is a bit inappropriate. In fact, the organization will take special care of every family member who needs help. In fact, for this job, as long as you go to the quartermaster's office and ask, the comrades there will definitely be happy to help you. The organization is also our greatest support."
"The organization has helped us so much, doesn't Sister Li feel it?"
In fact, the army will take special care of many family members and military comrades who need help. For example, their family members who come from the south will be supplied with several kilograms of rice every month.
Moreover, Li Qiuyan can still continue to live in the family compound. Isn’t this also a special care given to her by the organization
Li Qiuyan knew she was in the wrong. She had selfish motives. She knew Gu Qinghan was a good man. When he was in the G Province Army, he took special care of their family. Wasn't it just a small cart? He would definitely not refuse.
Moreover, she didn't expect that Wen Nuan, who looked easy to bully, would actually reject her in person. Now she was already a little lacking in confidence: "Comrade Wen, what you said makes sense. The organization has indeed helped our family a lot."
Li Qiuyan's face suddenly turned pale. She never expected that Wen Nuan would actually involve the organization. If she dared to say no, wouldn't it be tantamount to stabbing the entire organization in the back
She couldn't bear such a serious crime.
Wen Nuan looked at her with an innocent look and continued, "I hope you don't blame me for speaking so bluntly, sister-in-law. Actually, I have selfish motives. I feel sorry for my family, and I feel sorry for my husband. In order to make a stroller for the child, he trained during the day and polished wood at night after the lights were turned off. He only slept for a few hours a night, and I was worried that his body couldn't bear it. It's okay to stay up once or twice occasionally, but if he stays up too much and affects his training, that would be bad."
"I hope you don't blame me, sister-in-law, for being stingy. After all, I am only thinking about the health and safety of my man."
Li Qiuyan looked at Wen Nuan, who had an innocent and pitiful face, and felt more guilty after hearing what she said.
It is undeniable that what she said made sense, but she didn't know why it sounded so harsh to her.
Meeting the gazes of the family members watching nearby, Li Qiuyan felt as if she had done something bad and instantly wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
At this moment, Guihua's sister-in-law, who lived next door to Wen Nuan's house, suddenly shouted, "That's right. Deputy Commander Gu is a pilot that our army has focused on training. We have more than 13,000 people in the 34th Division, but only 36 of them can fly fighter jets. If anything happens to him, who will take responsibility?!"
"There are so many people in the army who can make carts. We can just find one of them. We don't really need Deputy Commander Gu to help us!"
Family members living in a row of red brick houses across the street echoed, "That's right. There are only about 30 pilots. Why can't we ask anyone else to do the job? Why do we have to ask Deputy Commander Gu? Even if he has the time, I'm embarrassed to bother him."
"My husband said that the training of pilots is much harder than theirs, and it is also very demanding on the body. Eyes are the most important. Sometimes we have to fly at night. What if we work in the dark every day and damage our eyes?"
Some military wives actually had a problem with Li Qiuyan a long time ago. Before Gu Qinghan and Wen Nuan came, she often used excuses to ask their men to do this and that. In the past, they didn't dare to say anything to her because she was a martyr's widow. This time, they can finally say it out loud: "Comrade Li, you too, if there are some things, just go to the quartermaster's office and ask someone for help. Deputy Commander Gu is so tired from training, don't bother him."
"Besides, I have a baby at home who is a few months old and needs to be taken care of. Deputy Captain Gu loves the child very much. I don't even have enough time to play with the child when I get home from training. I have to help you with this and that. Not everyone has to serve you!"
"You can't be too greedy. The organization has taken great care of you. You can't just rely on others to do everything for you, right? Who doesn't grit their teeth to get by?"
Li Qiuyan's face turned pale. She found it a little unbelievable when she heard the family members' discussions.
After all, she had always been taken care of and sympathized by them before, so why was it completely the other way around now
Obviously, everyone felt sorry for her husband's sacrifice before, and they comforted her and provided her with all kinds of help. Why is it that now she is considered greedy
Besides, Gu Qinghan had supported their family in various ways before. So what if he was just making a small cart now
Besides, Gu Qinghan hasn’t spoken yet, so what does it have to do with Wen Nuan
But when she looked at Gu Qinghan, she didn't know when he had held a delicate and chubby little girl in his arms, who was very cute.
And those two figures, one big and one small, had warm, unblinking eyes.
The more Li Qiuyan thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. She had come to the door because she really needed help, but now everyone was just watching the fun and blaming her for nothing. Could they understand her sadness
Finally, Li Qiuyan looked at Wen Nuan and said in a hoarse voice, "Comrade Wen, I was inconsiderate. I didn't expect Deputy Commander Gu to be so busy. I will be more careful in the future."
Wen Nuan curled her lips and smiled, "Sister-in-law, I hope you don't blame me. If you need help, I can go to the Quarter Office with you tomorrow to apply and ask the comrades there to help you make a cart."
"… "
"No, no need. I can apply for it myself."
Li Qiuyan gritted her teeth, glanced at her, then pulled the two wooden boards and walked towards home.
*
As soon as the person left, the family members who had been watching came to Wen Nuan's door and comforted her: "Comrade Xiao Wen, you don't have to think too much. This is not your fault. If I were her, I would also reject her."
"You are also thinking about Deputy Commander Gu. This is also good. The young couple should live together and feel sorry for their own family. Flying soldiers are really tired. After a day of training, they have to help her push the cart. It's really not right."
"That's right."
"By the way, there was a very fragrant smell just now. Is it the rice cooked by your family?"
The topic was immediately changed, and everyone started discussing the delicious food they smelled last night.
"I also smelled delicious rice last night, but I don't know who cooked it."
Sister Guihua smiled and said, "You all smelled it, didn't you? This is what Comrade Xiao Wen made! I live next door to her and I'm dying of greed! I don't know what delicious food she made tonight. Now I smell that fragrance and my stomach is rumbling!"
"Oh my, it was all made by Comrade Xiao Wen? What did you make? My husband asked me to go and find out who made the meal last night so that I could learn from him!"
"It smells so good! I didn't expect your cooking to smell so good, Wen Nuan? Who said you couldn't cook before in the family compound? Look at those gossipers, they are so hateful. I will definitely help you clarify it tomorrow!"
"I see, Deputy Commander Gu goes home every day, maybe he wants to eat the food made by Comrade Xiao Wen!"
"Look at what you said. If you don't let Deputy Captain Gu take over, you will be reluctant to give up your wife!"
Wen Nuan was surrounded by several military wives from nearby families, who asked her what she had cooked last night and how she cooked it.
Wen Nuan answered their questions one by one and also explained the cooking process to them.
If the little guy in Gu Qinghan's arms hadn't suddenly started crying, those sisters-in-law would still be reluctant to let her go.
When Wen Nuan returned to the house, Gu Qinghan had already coaxed the little one. The tall figure stood by the stove holding the child, looking at her with his dark and deep eyes in silence.
Wen Nuan also felt a little guilty, so she looked over. When their eyes met, she mustered up the courage to ask, "Are you blaming me?"
The man didn't even think about it and shook his head: "No."
Wen Nuan then walked to the dining table, pulled out a chair and sat down, picked up the chopsticks that had been placed there long ago, and asked again: "Then do you think I'm stingy? I don't even help people with this little thing."
According to Gu Qinghan's Lei Feng-like character, he would definitely think that she was petty and unreasonable.
But so what
Especially since Li Qiuyan's situation is rather special, it is understandable that Gu Qinghan is willing to help.
But what Sister Guihua said is right. Now that we have set this precedent, it will be difficult to refuse in the future.
Now at least she can guarantee that within a short period of time, that Li Qiuyan will not come to see her again.
And that Li Qiuyan, Wen Nuan felt that she seemed to have done it on purpose.
We are all thousand-year-old foxes, why play Liao Zhai with her? If she really thought she would mind, she wouldn't just pull the wooden board in front of someone else's door!
Seeing her sitting down, Gu Qinghan also carried the child to the eight-immortal table and sat down next to Wen Nuan: "No."
Wen Nuan saw that he had also sat down, and couldn't help asking again: "Did you come back with her tonight?"
Gu Qinghan raised his eyes, looked at her, and slowly said: "No, I met her when I returned to the family compound. When she saw me, she directly pulled the wooden board over to me."
Wen Nuan's expression eased a little, and she used the chopsticks in her hand to pick up a piece of rice that Gu Qinghan had already packed for her, and said in a calm tone: "It's not that I don't want to help, but you are busy and tired from training. You usually get home at seven o'clock, and it's almost eight o'clock after eating and washing dishes. The lights are turned off at 9:30 in the army, and you have to waste time helping her make a stroller. The child doesn't even have time to play with you."
After listening to this, Gu Qinghan nodded and became serious: "I know, I will try to spend more time with you in the future."
After thinking for a while, he added: "Training is tiring, but I can endure it."
Wen Nuan smiled and looked at his handsome profile. "That's not what I meant. Actually, when it comes to helping people, I hope you will have a bottom line in the future. It is said that you should help the poor but not the lazy, and help the poor but not the emergency. If Sister Li really has no other options and needs help, I am happy to help her. But for tonight's cart, she had obviously gone to the quartermaster's office to get the wood. If she had told the comrades in the quartermaster's office about her difficulties, those comrades would definitely have helped her make the cart."
"But she even specially brought the planks back home, and even went to the trouble of finding our house to ask you for help. This is a bit wrong. I know you are also happy to help others, and I admire your Lei Feng spirit very much. But some people may not think so. Today I met her son He Dazhuang. I heard from the people in the family compound that He Dazhuang had taken other people's food before. People felt sorry for him and didn't care. They even secretly gave him some food and drink. But this is not what he should do. Later, others were unwilling to give it, so he became resentful towards them and didn't know how to be grateful at all. I heard that Sister Li was also in the army of G Province before, and her husband was also your subordinate. I guess you must have helped her a lot. Did she say thank you to you sincerely?"
Gu Qinghan is such a good person. Sometimes when he does things, he never thinks about the bad side of others.
But Wen Nuan has seen too many examples of people turning against each other because of interests. Even brothers and sisters would go to court for a house; even worse, there were parents and children who tore their families apart because of money or houses.
They have no relatives or friends with Li Qiuyan's family. It is a favor for them to help her, but it is also reasonable not to help her.
But since they are that kind of people, Wen Nuan feels that she cannot help.
Call her stingy or selfish, she just doesn't want to be sucked blood by unnecessary people, and she also hopes that Gu Qinghan can help those who really need help.
She had previously lent money to a friend to buy a school district house, but the friend later had the money to buy a car and had no money to pay her back. She even said that the tens of thousands of dollars he owed her were like his life, and kept urging him to pay it back.
Although she recovered the tens of thousands of dollars later, she still wanted to go to Northern Europe to see the northern lights, but she no longer had the chance.
Gu Qinghan paused while eating, his expression a little serious, and he didn't say anything.
The two of them ate in silence. The omelette rice was clearly fragrant when it was just cooked, but Wen Nuan didn't know why she couldn't taste it.
When it was time to go to bed, Wen Nuan soaked her feet as usual, then washed the child's butt and went back to bed.
The child was still playing with his breast milk, and only fell asleep after the lights were turned off.
Wen Nuan held the child and slept on her side, but she couldn't fall asleep. After Gu Qinghan came back, she pretended to be asleep.
After turning off the lights, the room fell into darkness.
Gu Qinghan raised one arm and rested it on the back of his head. He looked at the green tile roof for a while before slowly turning around and whispering, "I'll pay attention next time."
Looking back, he seemed a little too easy to talk to.
Li Qiuyan did this because she knew he would not refuse.
When she was in the army in Province G, because Li Qiuyan's husband was her right-hand man, her two sons liked to go to him at mealtime. Sometimes, when he saw that the children were starving, he would give them half of the flight crew meals.
At that time, he didn't think it mattered. After all, in the army, many comrades helped raise the children of the martyrs who died. Giving them a meal was also considered as doing his best to help those in need.
But over time, they seemed to take this for granted. Many times when an elder in the family was sick, or when they needed money, they would run to him for help first.
It is not uncommon for a superior to help his subordinates when they are in trouble.
But as Wen Nuan said, Li Qiuyan and the others never thanked him sincerely.
This time he felt that the most important thing was that he had not considered Wen Nuan's feelings. Li Qiuyan came to their house as if it was a matter of course, as if she wanted to show that her relationship with him was special.
He thought about it for a long time just now before he understood why Wen Nuan asked him if he went back to the staff quarters with Li Qiuyan.
He did not do a good job in avoiding suspicion.
For a long time, Gu Qinghan didn't get any response from Wen Nuan and thought she had fallen asleep.
In the darkness, Gu Qinghan looked at Wen Nuan's long black hair, some of which were swaying gently in front of his nose. After thinking for a while, he reached out and hugged her from behind, using his calves to warm her feet.
Wen Nuan suddenly opened her eyes, and after feeling the warmth coming from her feet, she moved a little and whispered, "Gu Qinghan, you are a good person. I hope your kindness to others will not be in vain."
In the original book, Gu Qinghan was also a good man, but after he died bravely, no one except their daughter and his former comrades in the army was there to see him off.
Also because he had been sent to a labor camp, he was even labeled a labor camp prisoner.
In the darkness, Gu Qinghan suddenly asked in a hoarse voice: "Wen Nuan, will you let me down?"
Wen Nuan heard this, thought for a moment, suddenly turned around, stretched out her arms and hugged him, "We are husband and wife, I don't want you to be nice to me unilaterally, let's support each other in the future."
She couldn't see Gu Qinghan's expression, but she felt his breath on her neck, which was a little itchy.
After a long while, Gu Qinghan said softly, "Okay."
Finally, he slowly lowered his head and placed a light kiss on the warm ear.
Wen Nuan brushed away the itchy hair beside her ear, then turned back towards Lele, with a faint smile on her lips.
*
Li Qiuyan's house over there.
When her mother-in-law, Chen Sanmei, saw her taking the plank back, she frowned and said, "What's going on? Didn't you say that you wanted Xiao Gu to help us build a cart as well?"
Li Qiuyan sighed, her heart still not calming down, she was angry and annoyed.
She threw the board directly to the ground, and then stretched out her foot to vent her anger, but she kicked her thumb, and the pain made her sweat coldly: "Be a ghost, his wife won't let me!"
Chen Sanmei frowned and said with a sigh, "Is this her turn to take care of it?"
Li Qiuyan sneered and said, "She's someone else's wife, how can you not take care of her? Never mind, at worst I can just take her back to the quartermaster's office tomorrow. But these two pieces of wood are so heavy, I'm exhausted!"
Chen Sanmei asked: "Xiao Gu didn't say anything? He wasn't like this before."
Li Qiuyan recalled how Gu Qinghan looked at that time. Not to mention speaking, he probably didn't even know his own last name.
It's strange, too. When they were in Province G, her husband said that they had no feelings for each other and that Wen Nuan was the one who forced herself to marry Gu Qinghan. How come they are so close now
Li Qiuyan's sons He Dazhuang and He Xiaofei came over and said, "Mom, I met Uncle Gu's wife today. She bought a lot of eggs."
Li Qiuyan slapped He Dazhuang on the shoulder: "I'm telling you, don't steal other people's things anymore!"
He Dazhuang curled his lips and said dissatisfiedly: "I didn't! Are you crazy?"
"You'd better not have any, or I won't be able to hold my head up high in the family compound!" Li Qiuyan glared at him fiercely: "If you dare to take other people's things again, I will chop off your hands!"
He Dazhuang saw Li Qiuyan was about to slap him, and then hid behind Chen Sanmei: "Grandma, save me!"
Chen Sanmei snorted and stood in front of her precious grandson: "What are you yelling about? Dazhuang was only a few years old before, so you can't blame him for not being sensible. He will definitely not be sensible now."
He Dazhuang nodded vigorously: "Yes, I will never do that again."
Li Qiuyan was so angry that her chest heaved up and down. She pointed at He Dazhuang and asked, "Then tell me, who took the money from my cabinet? Do you dare to say it wasn't you?"
Li Qiuyan was almost mad at her son. He had caused her to be looked down upon by Zhang Guihua before, and now his grandmother was helping him without knowing right from wrong. If Chen Sanmei hadn't stopped her, she would have beaten him up.
Chen Sanmei looked at Li Qiuyan and said, "It was me. I took it. Don't blame the kids. It's just two cents. I bought them candy."
Li Qiuyan couldn't bear to watch it any longer, and slammed the door shut, scaring her daughter who was still sitting on the floor into bursting into tears.
Chen Sanmei glanced at her granddaughter lying on the ground, and didn’t bother to care about her anymore, so she ran to the kitchen to cook.
*
In the following days, the news that Wen Nuan could cook spread throughout the family compound, and many family members came forward to dispel the rumors for her.
Wen Nuan originally thought that those who spread rumors were incomprehensible, but now that someone has clarified the matter for her, she doesn't have to run around all that much.
Gu Qinghan took this matter to heart and took Wen Nuan with him to visit the political commissar.
After hearing this, the political commissar sighed and said, "Talking about others casually like this does affect the unity of the troops, but it is difficult to hold this matter accountable to an individual. Let's put it this way. This incident did have a bad impact on Comrade Wen Nuan. I will have the announcer issue a notice this afternoon. If this happens again, it must be dealt with strictly to serve as a warning to others."
Gu Qinghan nodded, "Thank you."
Wen Nuan was holding the child, neither standing nor sitting. She followed Gu Qinghan and thanked the political commissar.
The political commissar looked at the two men approvingly, and then said, "I should thank you for standing up bravely. Everyone may think it was just a joke, but in fact, these people will never be able to empathize with the harm caused to the parties involved. In order not to affect the unity of the troops, if anyone in this family compound spreads rumors like this again, I will investigate it to the end."
"By the way, in order to make up for the loss of Comrade Wen Nuan's reputation, we have also decided to give her some compensation. Think about it. If you need anything, you can tell me."
Wen Nuan was just about to say that her family had everything they needed for the time being and did not need any compensation. After all, this had not caused her any substantial losses, and the organization had taken great care of their new family members.
However, Gu Qinghan spoke first and said, "If possible, I would like to ask Dr. Li, an old Chinese medicine doctor in the Air Force, to help my wife. She has been in poor health since she came to Beicheng."
Flying soldiers all have their own personal doctors, because every flight encounters a variety of situations, so the doctors must be ready at all times.
They are all experienced doctors, covering a full range of departments from internal medicine to surgery, orthopedics to psychiatry, but they are generally soldiers serving in the army, and their families are not within the scope.
Gu Qinghan thought that her warm hands and feet had never been truly warm, so she wanted to find an experienced doctor to check her out.
warmth:"???"
How could she be weak!!!
The political commissar looked at Gu Qinghan and Wen Nuan strangely, then waved his hand and agreed: "This is not compensation at all. Find some time to bring your wife to see Doctor Li."
That afternoon, the notice about military unity was broadcasted continuously on the radio in the family compound. After listening to it, many people realized that it was the incident in the family compound where everyone was talking about the new military wife Wen Nuan who was lazy and gluttonous, and everyone covered their mouths.
You can talk about gossip, but you can't spread rumors.
*
The next morning, Gu Qinghan really took her to the flight team's medical room.
This place doesn't feel like a family compound, with female compatriots and children everywhere.
As soon as I came in, I saw that almost all of them were male soldiers, each of them was about 1.8 meters tall, tall and with long legs. The scene of them standing together was spectacular.
But Wen Nuan became even more excited when she saw a few female pilots later. Their heroic figures made people unable to help but take a few more glances.
Many people were curious about the chubby little cutie that Gu Qinghan was holding and the female comrade he brought over. They couldn't help but look over secretly, but when they met Gu Qinghan's eyes that were so cold that they seemed to be dripping with ice, they walked away one after another.
Gu Qinghan felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Wen Nuan's sparkling eyes looking at those flying soldiers, and immediately took her to the infirmary.
A female doctor with glasses and half-white hair was sitting in the infirmary. She lowered her eyes slightly and looked at Wen Nuan and Gu Qinghan from behind her lenses.
Gu Qinghan was holding a delicate little guy in his arms. His black eyes were looking around curiously. He was wearing a pink cotton-padded jacket and had a small bun on his head. He was very cute.
"Xiao Gu, is this your family member?"
"Doctor Li, this is my wife, Wen Nuan." Gu Qinghan then introduced Wen Nuan, "Wen Nuan, this is Doctor Li."
"Hello, Dr. Li." Wen Nuan called out to the other party politely, and then saw the other party's name tag, which read Li Yunhua.
Although Wen Nuan didn't think there was anything wrong with her body, since she was already here, of course she wanted to get checked out.
"Please sit down. Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?" Doctor Li looked at Wen Nuan with concern.
Gu Qinghan watched Wen Nuan sitting on the chair, and then waited obediently for Doctor Li to speak, and then said to Doctor Li: "My wife's hands and feet are usually cold, and she tends to shiver and feel cold when she is hungry. She also gets dizzy when she stands up after squatting for a long time, and it takes a while for her to recover. She also feels pain in her lumbar spine when she lies down on the bed at night, and she always sleeps restlessly, has many dreams, and wakes up easily."
warmth:"… "
She looked at Gu Qinghan in shock. Why didn't she realize that she had so many problems? Was it that serious
Doctor Li did not say anything, but just said to Wen Nuan: "Give me your hand."
Wen Nuan stretched out her hand and placed it on the pulse pillow obediently. After taking her pulse carefully, Doctor Li listened to her lung sounds. Finally, he frowned and asked Wen Nuan: "You didn't observe the confinement period after giving birth?"
Wen Nuan didn't know what to say for a moment. It was like she wasn't sitting at all. She wasn't full and couldn't sleep. She just kept silent and took it as a tacit agreement.
Doctor Li sighed, then slowly said: "It's moderate anemia, and the confinement period was not good. This needs to be treated slowly with Chinese medicine."
Gu Qinghan frowned and asked anxiously, "What Chinese medicine?"
"What's the hurry?" Doctor Li glanced at Gu Qinghan and said, "Her body is very weak now. I guess she hasn't adapted to the cold climate of North City yet. It's not advisable to use too strong medicine for the time being, otherwise it will be easy for her to be weak and unable to be replenished. She needs to be treated with warm Chinese medicine for a period of time to restore her body. It may take some time."
Then he wrote on the prescription in a flamboyant manner, taking up two full pages.
Doctor Li glanced at Gu Qinghan and then added: "It would be best if you could find wild ginseng. Our pharmacy doesn't have it anymore. Twice a week, just cut a little bit and boil it together. It doesn't need to be too much. The effect will be better."
Some thoughts flashed through Gu Qinghan's mind, and then he nodded: "Okay, thank you, Doctor Li."
When Wen Nuan heard this, she immediately felt that it was unlikely to be found.
After all, that thing is really precious. Even the army pharmacy has it out of stock, so it must be even harder to find outside.
However, Dr. Li has already written down a lot of medicinal herbs. Even if there is no wild ginseng, you should be able to get your body back in shape by slowly taking care of it.
Doctor Li adjusted his glasses, looked at Gu Qinghan and Wen Nuan, and finally reminded them: "Don't be in a hurry to have a baby for the time being. At least wait until your wife is well again. It's best not to have sex too frequently or too intensely. Put your wife's health first."
Gu Qinghan replied without changing his expression: "Okay."
Wen Nuan glanced at Gu Qinghan, then lowered her eyes, a blush rising on her face.
How did he manage to remain unmoved
No wonder he was able to get into the flight team. She really can’t compare with such psychological quality.
After thanking Dr. Li, the two went to the pharmacy to get the herbs. When getting the medicine, Gu Qinghan didn't know what he said to the comrades in the pharmacy. They chatted for a few minutes, and Wen Nuan stood aside waiting.
Because it required long-term conditioning, they first took two weeks of Chinese medicine, and then Gu Qinghan came to prescribe more medicine.
But even if it's just two weeks of medicine, it's still a lot.
Moreover, she was not a regular soldier, so she did not get any discount on medicine. Two weeks of Chinese medicine cost twelve yuan, which means twenty-four yuan a month.
As expected, no matter what era, seeing a doctor is the most expensive.
On the way back, the two passed by the supply and marketing cooperative, and Gu Qinghan said he wanted to go in and buy something.
Wen Nuan thought for a moment and realized that there didn't seem to be anything missing at home, so she asked, "What do you want to buy?"
Gu Qinghan held the child all the way, but his breathing did not change, as if it was not effort at all, so Lele especially liked him to hold her.
The child saw the familiar supply and marketing cooperative and pointed, as if he wanted to go in too.
This little girl loves to be in a crowd and is also very smart. She knows where candies are sold. Every time she comes to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy something, she will point to the place where candies are sold and insist on being allowed to go over, otherwise she will make a fuss.
Gu Qinghan glanced at her and said, "We need to buy a pot for boiling Chinese medicine. I just asked the comrades in the pharmacy and they said that some Chinese medicines are particularly bitter."
As he spoke, he walked towards the sugar selling counter of the supply and marketing cooperative.
When little Lele saw that it was the familiar candy selling area, he jumped a few times with excitement and laughed out loud.
After a while, Gu Qinghan bought three taels of White Rabbit milk candy, a paper bag of plums, and a small medicine pot.
Then he asked her, "Do you want to give one to Lele?"
Wen Nuan looked at the child, who started sucking her fingers again, probably because she was craving for the candies, so she said, "No, or she'll get cavities. Besides, the candies are quite big, and she can't eat them."
When the little girl heard this, she knew that Wen Nuan didn't allow her to eat candy, and she immediately hugged Gu Qinghan's neck and cried.
After hearing this, Wen Nuan began to soften her heart again, "Why don't you give her some? I'll just give her a bite at most."
Gu Qinghan stuffed a pill into her mouth, then carried the crying child with a face as red as an apple and walked towards home, saying as he walked, "Eat it yourself, don't let her see."
Wen Nuan looked at the familiar packaging that had remained the same for decades, and suddenly felt that the candy was sweet even before she had eaten it.
After dinner that night, Gu Qinghan boiled the Chinese herbs. Soon the small living room was filled with a strong smell of the herbs, but it wasn't particularly bad. The moment you smelled it, the warmth tasted quite bitter.
Sure enough, after the Chinese medicine was boiled and cooled a little, she took a sip and immediately frowned, but Gu Qinghan stood beside her holding the child, staring at her drinking.
Gu Qinghan looked at her silently without saying anything. Wen Nuan had no choice but to bite the bullet and drink it all in one gulp.
Just after she drank the Chinese medicine, a White Rabbit candy was handed to her mouth. Gu Qinghan said, "Open your mouth."
Wen Nuan subconsciously opened her mouth, and the tip of her tongue tasted the sweetness, which quickly washed away the bitter taste of traditional Chinese medicine.
The little guy in his arms started crying again when he saw Wen Nuan put the whole candy into her mouth.
Wen Nuan teased her with a smile: "What kind of candy do you eat at night as a little kid? You don't brush your teeth, and you will regret it when you have a row of black cavities!"
The little girl didn't care. Seeing that Wen Nuan didn't give her any candy, she cried so hard that the roof almost collapsed. Finally, Wen Nuan couldn't help it, and secretly gave the child some while Gu Qinghan was washing the medicine pot.
After turning off the lights, when the two of them lay in bed preparing to go to sleep, Wen Nuan inexplicably thought of Doctor Li's words again.
Wen Nuan looked at the sleeping little girl, reached out to tidy up the quilt for her, and pressed the quilt under her body.
After a while, neither of them spoke, and Wen Nuan couldn't help asking, "Do you want to have another child?"
Gu Qinghan was still lying on the outside of the bed. When he heard Wen Nuan ask this, he subconsciously denied it: "No."
Then he felt that Wen Nuan seemed to have misunderstood him. He didn't want to explain, but he felt a soreness in his heart, "Your feet have been very cold. By the end of December, there will be a blizzard in the North City, and the weather will be even colder..."
Gu Qinghan was a little overwhelmed for the first time, but he didn't want Wen Nuan to misunderstand him even more.
After waiting for a long time, Wen Nuan didn't say anything, so Gu Qinghan asked unconfidently: "You don't believe it?"
Wen Nuan hugged the child and cried out, "No, of course I believe you. It's just that during this period of time, we slept together every day, and you didn't do anything to me. I thought you wanted to wait until I got my body in good shape before having a child."
It stands to reason that it is impossible for a young man like Gu Qinghan, who is full of passion and enthusiasm, to lie with her every day and not want her.
If it wasn't because of her health problems, then he must have wanted to wait until she recovered before having a child. Otherwise, why would he take her to see a doctor
It's definitely impossible. It doesn't look like...
But it seems that it is not visible.
Just when Wen Nuan was daydreaming, Gu Qinghan suddenly said in a cold tone: "You are still very weak, are you sure you want to do it now?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a warm feeling rose from his neck to the top of his head, and his whole face felt so hot that it seemed like steam was about to burst into steam.
…
In the next few days, Wen Nuan stayed at home to make her own cotton-padded jacket. The two pieces of cloth she had bought in Beijing were just the right ones to use.
The little guy has also learned to crawl. Now he can climb out of the stroller without noticing, and then crawl from the living room to the room. His hands and feet are very nimble!
Wen Nuan decided to make a winter cotton-padded jacket before the blizzard came and there was nothing else to do.
After a nap, there was a knock on the warm door.
Then, Sister Guihua shouted loudly outside the door: "Xiao Nuan, the weather is good today, do you want to follow us up the mountain to pick up some mountain products and dig some wild vegetables?"
There is no snow yet, and the grass on the mountain is basically withered. If you are lucky, you can pick some winter vegetables, shepherd's purse, Agaricus bisporus, etc. in the hay, and make a delicious soup with them.
Sister Guihua and Deng Juxiang had asked her to go up the mountain before, but she had just arrived in North City at that time, and they were afraid that the child would not adapt to the climate here, so they did not dare to take her to the back mountain. Gu Qinghan also did not allow her to go up the mountain with the child on her back.
In fact, the children in the family compound and the villagers outside the compound all like to go up the mountain to pick some wild products. Sister Guihua will share some wild vegetables with her every time she picks them. After doing this so many times, she feels embarrassed because she can't just accept things from others every time.
Wen Nuan observed that the mountains here were not particularly high, and it was not particularly cold now, but snakes, insects, rats and ants were basically hibernating, so Wen Nuan also wanted to go for a walk. At worst, she would not go to high places, but just walk around the foot of the mountain.
Wen Nuan told her idea to Sister Guihua and Deng Juxiang, and they both agreed: "We often go up the mountain, but rarely walk at the foot of the mountain. So let's walk around the foot of the mountain with Xiao Nuan today."
So Wen Nuan carried her child on her back and followed them up the mountain.
On the way, we met many family members who were planning to go up the mountain to look for mountain products, but everyone preferred to go up the mountain. Only Wen Nuan and her friends took a detour and planned to go somewhere farther away.
Liu Meili, Huang Yueying, and Li Qiuyan, who were following Wen Nuan and the others, saw them walking to the other end and smiled: "Are they going up the mountain or on an autumn outing?"
"The foot of the mountain has been trampled by people. What can we pick up? Let's hurry up to the mountain, or we won't be able to pick up any wild vegetables."
