Provincial Hospital.
When Gu Xiangqian woke up, his eyes were pitch black.
The nurse wiped his dry lips with a cotton ball and found that he spoke weakly.
She leaned forward to listen, but couldn't make out the sound clearly. "Commander, what did you say? I can't hear you!"
Gu Xiangqian's memory was fragmented. One moment he was at home, and the next he was at the front line.
He asked weakly, "What day and time is it now? It's so dark, and there's not even a light on..."
The nurse gave the date and time without blinking: "Eight o'clock in the morning."
After she reported the time, she suddenly realized something was wrong, and she let out a low cry, and waved her hand in front of Gu Xiangqian's eyes a few times. This leader, who was known for his sharpness and courage, did not move his eyes at all.
Gu Xiangqian asked, "Didn't you report the wrong year? How many years did I sleep for?"
The nurse was so stunned that she couldn't even hold the tray in her hand steadily. She was shocked and quickly called the doctor.
The doctor in charge of Gu Xiangqian's condition was a professor in his fifties, very experienced. He measured Gu Xiangqian's vital signs, took some X-rays of his brain, and discussed a treatment plan with several of his disciples.
When Yao Chunyu heard the news, he felt completely shaken.
"He was a war hero, and he was so young, how could he go blind like this?"
Gu Xiangqian's doctor said patiently, "There is blood congestion in the leader's head, which is temporarily pressing on his meridians. Once the blood congestion dissolves, he will be able to see again. Blindness is only temporary. He is young and in good physical condition, so he will recover."
It turned out to be only temporary! Yao Chunyu finally let it go.
It's good to be blind temporarily! Losing sight and suffering mental trauma on the front line, he must be very dependent on others at this time.
Knowing that Gu Xiangqian had woken up, Yao Chunyu would go to his ward to chat with him when she was not busy. She thought that since he was married, he would avoid her, just like the last time he woke up in the ward, he was quiet and didn't talk much, just like an ordinary passerby.
Unexpectedly, he actually responded to a few questions and occasionally asked questions on his own initiative. Whenever Yao Chunyu was free during this period, he would go to the ward to chat with Gu Xiangqian to relieve his boredom.
Gu Xiangqian had a very strong anti-reconnaissance capability. In just a few days, he extracted information from his old classmate Yao Chunyu that this year was indeed 1960 and that his mother had died the year before last.
Gu Xiangqian was so upset that he couldn't speak and remained silent for several days.
Yao Chunyu found that Gu Xiangqian was quiet again, as if he was upset. He had been in the hospital for half a month, and Su Ye hadn't come to visit him. Maybe he was hurt by this.
Yao Chunyu comforted Gu Xiangqian, "Are you thinking about Su Ye?"
"If I had a husband who was on the front line, I would be so nervous. I really envy her calmness. She is like a real soldier..."
Gu Xiangqian's eyebrows twitched, and he didn't even bother to close his eyes and rest.
The unfamiliar name "Su Ye" flashed across his mind. The name seemed familiar, but the moment he thought of her, his head began to hurt.
Yao Chunyu sighed, "The family members of the wounded soldiers in the hospital came to stay with them a month ago. I guess you must be lonely too. Do you want me to call her..."
She covered her mouth as she spoke, "Don't worry, Brother Xiang Qian. She should have received your news a long time ago. She must have been delayed for some reason. Although I haven't met her, my aunt's last wish is for you to marry her. She must be very good to have left such a last wish."
Yao Chunyu's implication is that he hasn't come to see you for a month, wake up -
Parents' orders and matchmaker's words are old-fashioned. Now we live in a new society where such feudal remnants still exist.
Gu Xiangqian thought leisurely: It turns out that Su Ye is not only a partner, but also a wife
Gu Xiangqian had a preliminary impression of Su Ye after hearing these words. His girlfriend might not like him very much. However, after careful consideration, his classmates' words of envying her calmness always felt a little abrupt...
Seeing that Gu Xiangqian was still indifferent, Yao Chunyu knew that she was a little anxious today. After she said these words, she stopped mentioning Su Ye. Instead, she would add warm water for him from time to time, run errands to get lunch boxes, and read the newspaper of the day...
Yao Chunyu did everything a nurse should do. She was gentle, patient and considerate, and all the patients in the ward had nothing bad to say about her.
…
Yao Chunyu wanted to take advantage of Gu Xiangqian's disgust with Su Ye and let him divorce her as soon as possible, but he seemed discouraged and was not willing to talk about Su Ye anymore
There were several comrades who had come from the front line who were hospitalized with Gu Xiangqian.
Ning Xingdou and Zhang Yifeng were two of them. Xingdou couldn't help but sigh when he saw that there was still only a young nurse taking care of Gu Xiangqian's ward.
Zhang Yifeng's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had already arrived, and he had enjoyed the family warmth. But when he saw Gu Xiangqian was all alone, he couldn't help but get angry.
These two men are soldiers who have never withdrawn from the front line. They have not returned to the military area in the rear for more than half a year, so naturally they have never met Su Ye.
Zhang Yifeng's wife is Niu Cuihua. When he was scolding Su Ye, Niu Cuihua suddenly stopped him and corrected him:
"Wait, that's not true! You haven't seen it before. Teacher Su is really awesome."
He could either catch a basket of fish with one fishing trip or pick up a wild boar with one picking up. The job was very well paid and people called him Teacher Su wherever he went.
Although he only has primary school education, he became a junior high school teacher. Can you imagine his ability
Zhang Yifeng asked how Su Ye was so awesome, and Niu Cuihua told him about Su Ye's fishing and catching wild boars. All Zhang Yifeng heard were trivial matters.
Isn't fishing easy? Gu Xiangqian also dug the trap for catching wild boars, so why should he care about Suye
Only Su Ye got a job as a teacher. She was good at talking and managed the brothers' salaries. The brothers bought two meat buns and gave them to her. She ate meat, but he could only eat steamed buns. Zhang Yifeng felt that this brother's marriage was a terrible one...
Considering that he still hadn't seen her for a month, Zhang Yifeng felt increasingly upset.
In his eyes, Gu Xiangqian was good in every way. He was very capable and hardworking, and was one of the rare talents in the army. He was educated but very humble. He passed all the assessments of the National Defense University of the army at the age of 18. He was handsome but never thought he was handsome... It was no exaggeration to say that he was praised like a flower.
Ning Xingdou didn't say anything. He knew Gu Xiangqian's character very well. How could he be such a simple person who would suffer a loss? After listening to Niu Cuihua's narration and asking his own mother privately, he understood.
He said to Zhang Yifeng: "Don't worry about the relationship between the couple. Hope for something good. This is like Zhou Yu fighting Huang Gai. One is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten."
"Maybe they are really delayed by the situation."
…
Military district compound.
Su Ye returned Zhou Honghan's drawing to her exactly as it was. The drawing was rolled up and its shape could not be seen before it was unfolded.
When Zhou Honghan saw Su Ye, he raised his eyelids and said nonchalantly, "Put it on the table."
After hearing this, Su Ye withdrew his hand and did not let go.
She suspected that as soon as she left, Grandma Zhou threw the blueprint into the trash can and burned it as firewood. Su Ye retracted her hand and rolled her eyes.
"I have drawn your blueprint exactly as it is. Wouldn't you like to take a look, Grandma Zhou?"
Zhou Honghan said indifferently, "You are still a child and don't understand. Don't even think about drawing it exactly as it is. I'll be thankful if you don't cause trouble for me in the future."
Su Ye's profession was actually insulted? This was intolerable.
She shook her head and said disapprovingly, "Ambition is not determined by age. Many great people showed extraordinary talent when they were young. Judging a person by age is a mistake of empiricism."
She coughed lightly and said with a smile, "Grandma Zhou, please open it and take a look. If you keep looking like this, you will probably make a fool of yourself. If it is not the original picture, then you have to promise me one thing for the insult you just made to me."
If someone like Zhou Honghan strokes her favor, she won't even look at him. But if someone questions her wildly, she will only be slightly moved (angry).
Oh…
What a big tone.
Zhou Honghan thought: I don't blame her for destroying the blueprint, what else do you want? Gu Xiangqian's wife is really annoying. Zhou Honghan didn't even bother to watch her being hit.
She can't ignore her conscience when it comes to academic issues, and she probably has to say a few words of encouragement to maintain friendship after harsh criticism. This is really hard for people.
But if I don't do this, Su Ye will be furious. What if I don't send some delicious food every other day? Being an elder is really tiring.
Zhou Honghan untied the string and slowly spread out the drawing that Su Ye had drawn.
She suddenly froze.
Zhou Honghan took out his magnifying glasses and put them on, and at the same time took out a magnifying glass from the drawer and carefully checked whether a certain wire was connected to the right place or whether a certain component was installed in the right place.
No, no, there are dozens of components, too many, it's easy to get confused. She took out her manuscript and checked it again in disbelief.
Actually... exactly the same
Zhou Honghan is old, and she tends to be lazy as she ages. This design was requested by several young people, and she promised to hand in the first draft in the summer. She has plenty of time, so she is not in a hurry if the drawing is bad.
But what is going on? Su Ye actually drew it correctly
After a long period of hesitation, Zhou Honghan finally said, "Okay, I promise you. Tell me what it is..."
Su Ye smiled and said, "I don't know about that. I'll know later. Grandma Zhou, please keep it for me first."
Zhou Honghan muttered to himself, I'm afraid I will have to help you two take care of the child, why don't you try having one
…
After Su Ye finished processing Grandma Zhou's drawings, she received a message from the front line asking the military dependents to accompany her. She put down her work, took time off from school, and said goodbye to the children reluctantly.
She took the train ticket issued by the army and rushed to City X. Su Ye's backpack was full of food. She heard that there was little food on the front line and there was no meat on the market. Bringing some meat to Gu Xiangqian to replenish his body was her best effort.
Just think how touching it is! If her former friends knew that she would do all this for a stinky man, they would definitely laugh at her!
When it was almost time for dinner, passengers took out their food in twos and threes. Some had dark grain steamed bread, some had green vegetable leaves, and some had warm water. Su Ye quietly ate a boiled egg on the train. Everyone in the carriage was looking at her, and her Adam's apple rolled as if she was swallowing hard.
Those green eyes seemed to be curious about how Su Ye had an egg in his hand.
Su Ye quickly ate up the eggs, and those greedy eyes completely disappeared.
She had the letter of introduction in her hand and met the soldier who was waiting to pick her up as soon as she got off the train. They went to Gu Xiangqian's ward together.
As soon as Su Ye opened the door of the ward, she heard a gentle female voice, reciting: "Farewell to Cambridge by Xu Zhimo. 'Quietly I left/Just as quietly I came; quietly I waved my hand/Bidding farewell to the clouds in the west.'"
I saw the woman in the ward wearing a snow-white coat, with delicate and bright eyebrows, affectionate eyes, autumn eyes, orchid-like breath, snow-white skin and long thin legs.
Gu Xiangqian had a bandage on his head and one of his feet was in a plaster cast and tied in mid-air with a brace.
Su Ye was stunned by this beautiful picture of harmonious coexistence.
The soldier suddenly blushed and said, "Sister-in-law, don't you think Dr. Yao is pretty? I had the same expression when I first met her."
Su Ye turned her head away, curling her lips in disdain. Just like this... she is beautiful
Su Ye soon realized that she was no longer the fairy she used to be. If she still looked the same, what would anyone think of her
Su Ye walked to Gu Xiangqian's bed and scratched his wrist. She took out a bottle of milk from her bag, inserted a tube into it and handed it to Gu Xiangqian.
"Drink it. I knelt in the heavy rain and begged the comrades at the milk station for a long time before I got some."
Gu Xiangqian didn't catch his breath and burst out laughing.
