Of course, Su Ye didn’t mix the milk at the milk station. She mixed it backstage in the live broadcast room.

Su Ye was also afraid that others would investigate. She met a group of respectable peasant comrades at the advanced conference, one of whom worked at the animal husbandry station. When Su Ye was visiting a home on the way, she stopped by the animal husbandry station to say hello and chat, and the station gave her some freshly squeezed milk.

The milk was soft and delicious after being heated in water, and the whole ward was filled with that smell.

Su Ye took off the bottle cap and handed it to Gu Xiangqian. Gu Xiangqian lowered his head and couldn't find the bottle mouth for the first time. He rubbed it with his thumb before drinking the milk.

Su Ye then realized the seriousness of the problem. She stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Gu Xiangqian's eyes.

In the book, in order to bring the heroine together, the man actually blinded her? What kind of bullshit is this

Gu Xiangqian's eyes were dark and deep. When he stared at people earnestly, his dark pupils were like a vortex magnet. How could such a beautiful pair of eyes be blind

Su Ye felt a little pitiful.

In addition to being blind, Gu Xiangqian also had a strange sense of alienation. However, Su Ye did not think much about it. He just thought that his post-war stress trauma had occurred and his emotions were not stable yet.

After she finished drinking the milk, she said to the nurses and soldiers beside her: "I won't bother you here. I have something to say to Xiang Qian."

Yao Chunyu said with a straight face: "Comrade, wait a minute, I'll tell you some precautions before we go."

Su Ye chuckled in his heart, "With the help of a doctor, I know how to take care of people."

She saw that there was a circle of milk stains on Gu Xiangqian's lips, so she leaned over and kissed him, then licked the milk stains off the edge of his lips.

This unexpected action stung the eyes of the two people in front of the bed. Not only their eyes were stung, but their ears were also stung.

Su Ye's words were full of accusations: "Gu Xiangqian, you idiot, you promised to get yourself hurt, and yet you made me worry about you so much!"

The patient in the next bed made a "puff" sound of water spraying, followed by a heavy, violent cough.

Yao Chunyu was so shocked that she forgot what to say. She didn't expect Su Ye to be so particular. This was too ignorant and immoral!

Kissing in front of others in broad daylight, could this country woman be so rude and unrestrained

Although Yao Chunyu was already a little girl at heart and there were many couples kissing on the streets in later generations, she was still unable to integrate into the thinking of young people. She was so rigid and dogmatic that her grandchildren dared not even breathe when they saw her.

In the future, anyone who kisses on the street will be sent to labor camp for education!

An uncontrollable curve of sarcasm and contempt appeared at the corner of her mouth.

After Su Ye kissed them, he turned around and looked back at them incredulously: "What's the matter, comrades, are you still leaving? Comrade doctor, what's with that expression? This is not our way of being particular, but you insist on staying and getting in our way."

Su Ye told the idlers to leave immediately after hearing these two words, and the patient in the next bed turned his head away and refused to look at them.

Gu Xiangqian and Su Ye were the only ones left in the ward.

After Gu Xiangqian was kissed by his wife, his whole body froze.

After all, he was a stranger in his knowledge. When his lips were suddenly bitten, although Gu Xiangqian's face showed no expression, he was deeply shocked in his heart.

If it was the smell on Su Ye that made people feel familiar, someone else would have been pushed away by Gu Xiangqian long ago.

Gu Xiangqian's ears gradually turned red, and his cold face also gradually turned red. The shock in his heart was mixed with a hint of joy that he himself did not even notice.

Su Ye and Gu Xiangqian had been together day and night for a month, and this subtle action was hidden from her. She took out some delicious food from her backpack.

She felt Gu Xiangqian's unfamiliarity. She would feel embarrassed and happy when she kissed him before, but now she just stood there in a daze like this.

Su Ye said, "You haven't eaten yet, I brought you your favorite Dongpo pork. I'll go heat it up, wait for me."

Xingdou was the innocent passerby who was choked in the bed next to him. Not only was it irritating to his eyes, but it also irritated his ears.

After Su Ye left, Ning Xingdou whispered: "Sister-in-law looks pretty impressive, how do you feel?"

As another commander with keen observation, Gu Xiangqian's constant chatting these days made people suspicious. So I asked Gu Xiangqian about it the night before yesterday. Gu Xiangqian did not refute but admitted it readily.

"Feeling... a little overwhelmed?"

Ning Xingdou chuckled, "You two are on a blind date anyway. Last year you suddenly got a new wife and you were able to adapt quickly. It won't be any different this time. I helped you take a look at her. She's pretty."

Can this be the same

Last year, Gu Xiangqian had prepared himself for a long time to get a new wife. He considered it again and again before bringing Su Ye from the countryside to the military compound. This was Gu Xiangqian's initiative. This time, Gu Xiangqian was not prepared at all and had no idea how to get along with Su Ye.

After a while, Su Ye came back.

She held the hot lunch box and handed it to Gu Xiangqian.

The pork belly in the lunch box was stewed until it was tender, fragrant and glutinous. Ning Xingdou, who was lying in the next bed, couldn't help but drool. People who had experienced famine were completely different from those who had not experienced famine in their memories.

Gu Xiangqian calmly took the lunch box and ate the meat piece by piece, finishing his lunch gracefully but not slowly.

I don't know why the food in the hospital is so bad and perfunctory, or why my wife is so caring. In Gu Xiangqian's memory, there was no famine in 1958, and he had not experienced the famine years, so he naturally didn't understand that the food in the hospital now was the best.

At least there is meat to eat.

Ning Xingdou is still in the recovery stage. Although he can eat meat in the hospital, the total of three meals a day is only two taels of pork. How can it be like Gu Xiangqian's lunch box which has half a pound of meat

When he ate meat, he chewed it slowly and carefully, chewing a piece of meat for a long time. Ning's mother said that he was able to eat meat because of his recovery. Ordinary people in the rear area had not tasted meat for a long time.

Ning Xingdou looked at the lunch box filled with meat that Su Ye brought. This information was obviously false. He looked at Gu Xiangqian enviously as he ate the meat brought by his wife. He felt so hungry that his Adam's apple rolled silently. Finally, he turned away because he could no longer bear it.

At this time, Su Ye took out a tea egg, peeled it and put it into Gu Xiangqian's bowl.

"Eat an egg every day and you will get better soon."

The tea was given by an advanced farmer, who said that the water there was clear and the tea was fragrant. Su Ye thought at the time that tea was not food, so what was so rare about it

But after receiving the tea, she found that the tea was just a boast. This was a famous tea known as "gold inlaid with jade", and it was sold at tens of thousands of yuan per ounce in later generations. Su Ye decisively used it to make a tea egg.

Eating braised eggs with good tea is a way of showing respect to it.

Ning Xingdou's ears twitched. What? There are also tea eggs

Before his mother died and before the famine, Gu Xiangqian's food was very good. It can be said that he was raised in luxury since childhood, and except for carrying out missions, he never suffered from hunger.

The tea eggs brought by Su Ye have a clear tea fragrance, a mellow and long-lasting taste, and can quench thirst. Gu Xiangqian was still savoring the taste long after he finished one.

This was the first time that Gu Xiangqian tasted such delicious tea eggs.

Su Ye saw Gu Xiangqian's aftertaste and felt a little pitiful. He hadn't eaten anything good during this period, and his body was covered with scars and he was blind. The first time Su Ye saw him in the hospital, he could feel the confusion that enveloped him.

Thinking of this, she took out her treasured tea eggs, peeled one and handed it to Gu Xiangqian.

After Gu Xiangqian set off, Su Ye was so craving for eggs that he carried five kilograms of eggs in one go. Without a refrigerator, Su Ye could only make some tea eggs with tea leaves, which he ate himself and sent back to give to his fellow farmers.

Gu Xiangqian took the tea egg from Su Ye's hand nervously, but he could not see it with his eyes and fumbled for a long time before he got the egg.

Su Ye's hands were empty. After being stunned for a moment, she silently filled a basin with water for Gu Xiangqian to wash his hands.

After wiping her hands, Su Ye rolled her eyes and said regretfully, "Do you still want to eat? I brought a lot of tea eggs with me. I also brought some of the chocolate you bought for me. This is your favorite snack. I don't know if you can eat chocolate due to your injury. I'll give it to you after I ask the doctor."

"Have you finished eating the box of jerky I sent you earlier?"

Gu Xiangqian really liked eating chocolate. He just nodded and stopped talking.

Ning Xingdou lifted the quilt. Is this going to end? Is it really necessary to eat lunch for so long? After the pork belly, there are tea eggs. After the tea eggs, there are chocolates and a box of dried meat

However, what Su Ye took out was fruit candy, where was the chocolate? She immediately understood where Gu Xiangqian's sense of disobedience came from, he had lost his memory.

Gu Xiangqian never bought her any chocolate candies, only fruit candies and milk candies.

Su Ye never eats chocolate because she is allergic to it. Once, she went to a department store with Gu Xiangqian and subconsciously grabbed a handful of chocolate. Su Ye put it back and emphasized to Gu Xiangqian that she didn't like chocolate.

Su Ye felt more and more sorry for Gu Xiangqian. When she was pouring water to wash her hands, she thought boredly: He has lost his memory and doesn't remember what happened to them. He must think that she exploited him a lot.

Su Ye's divergent thinking was so strong that she quickly thought: This is a good opportunity to be single again!

However, as soon as this thought came to her mind, she glanced at the pitiful man on the hospital bed, and immediately shook her head guiltily and forgot about it.

afternoon.

Su Ye took the book on Gu Xiangqian's bedside and recited a poem.

Her voice is steady and beautiful, her pronunciation is clear, and her voice is warm, deep, and passionate.

Su Ye thought: "If I were a bird, I would sing with my hoarse throat, for this land battered by storms... Why do I always have tears in my eyes? Because I love this land deeply."

Compared to those sour lyric poems, this kind of patriotic poem sounds more powerful. After Su Ye finished reading, everyone in the ward was looking at her.

Almost all the patients in the VIP wards were wounded soldiers. When they heard Ai Qing's poems and the touching parts, they could not help but feel moved and shed tears.

"Good, you read it very well! You are worthy of being a teacher!" Ning Xingdou applauded.

"Read another one!"

The people living in the ward were a group of people with faith, who were fighting bravely for peace without sacrificing their lives or paying any price. When everyone heard this passionate poem, their spirits were lifted and they applauded again and again.

The poetry that Gu Xiangqian's girlfriend recites is better than the ones on the radio! Listening to her recite poetry is worse than listening to the radio.

Su Ye then recited another poem: "With my damaged hands, I feel for this vast land... I will drive away the darkness and bring life, because only there we do not live like animals."

Gu Xiangqian turned his head and listened. Su Ye's voice was like a gentle spring breeze, blowing through the frozen hard soil, and a tender bud quietly broke through the ground.

A warm current seemed to surge in his heart, and the image of him falling down in the gunfire on the battlefield flashed through his mind, as did scenes that seemed to have happened in the past.

That was the image of Su Ye happily eating, correcting homework, and busying herself in the kitchen.

In the darkness, Gu Xiangqian gradually saw a vague figure in his vision, and he reached out and touched Su Ye's face.

As Su Ye was reciting, she stretched out her hands and waved them in front of Gu Xiangqian's eyes, and found that his eyes were looking straight at her, with his gaze focused.

"Oh, Gu Xiangqian, you can see now, right? If I had known that reciting poetry could help you regain your sight, I would have recited a few more poems." Su Ye teased.

She touched Gu Xiangqian's head and said, "Since you can see now, I'll take you home. The conditions here are not as good as our provincial hospital. It will be more convenient if you go back."

The next day, Su Ye went to see the dean to discuss the issue of transferring to another hospital.

Of course, the dean rejected Su Ye's application and said, "We will wait for a while to observe the leader. Only when his physical signs are normal will we dare to release him."

After a busy period, Su Ye returned to the hotel and took a nap.

After waking up, Su Ye took out the letters she had brought from far away from her bag and dealt with them one by one. These letters were all sent to her by new friends she met at the last representative meeting.

The leader of the tea-producing production team in the village wrote a letter. At the beginning of the letter, he expressed gratitude to Su Ye for the tea eggs he sent to the team, and said with shame that the tea was worthless.

At the end of the letter, the activist of the production brigade said: "The elderly and patients in the brigade are very grateful to Teacher Su. They said that your tea eggs are delicious. There is no need to send tea eggs. The tea in our brigade is not valuable.

There are a lot of them piled up in the warehouse, rotting in there and no one wants them. The factory's performance is good this year. In previous years, many factories came directly to our village to collect tea. These factories closed down due to the disaster, and the remaining tea leaves are handled by the government. We can't just add burden to the government. If you like it, our production team will send some to you later. It would be estranged if Comrade Su sent tea eggs again..."

Su Ye thought that this was good tea that was sold at tens of thousands of yuan per catty, how could it be left to rot in the warehouse

She picked up a pen and wrote a formal letter, asking the production team leader of the tea village to go to the government for a letter of introduction so that she could help solve the problem of sales.

Tea was not included in the planned grain, and the country allowed its purchase and sale in that era.

Su Ye slept in the hotel for one night. Early the next morning, she used her food coupons to buy a vegetarian steamed bun and soy milk from a state-owned restaurant and brought them to the hospital.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the hospital, Gu Xiangqian had already had breakfast.

Yao Chunyu glanced at the clock and said with a smile, "The hospital takes care of Chief Gu's three meals a day. The nutrition is very balanced. Sister-in-law won't have to bother preparing food for him in the future."

How could Su Ye bear this? These were the buns she had queued up to buy early in the morning!

This was the first time she bought breakfast for Gu Xiangqian.

She sat down and handed the bun to Gu Xiangqian: "Xiangqian, I bought this especially for you. Don't waste food."

Gu Xiangqian didn't want to waste food because he had already eaten. The bowl of noodles he had for breakfast was very nutritious. But when Su Ye handed the food to him, he ate it obediently.

After finishing the meal, he felt a strange feeling in his heart, as if Su Ye's request was natural to him, but he felt uncomfortable to refuse her. This realization made Gu Xiangqian start to think.

Su Ye went to wash Gu Xiangqian's dirty clothes, and when she turned around, she found Yao Chunyu reading the newspaper to Gu Xiangqian.

When Yao Chunyu stood up, his feet slipped and he fell to the edge of the bed, touching Gu Xiangqian's clothes a little. From Su Ye's perspective, it was as if he had fallen into his arms.

Yao Chunyu sincerely apologized, "I'm sorry, Xiang Qian, I was on duty for too long today and I have low blood sugar."

She turned around and saw Su Ye looking at her, "Sister-in-law, you must have misunderstood, I just-"

Su Ye couldn't help but sigh when she saw this scene. The male and female protagonists were indeed two magnets that attracted each other, and she was just an insignificant little confusion.

After a while, she realized that she had an excuse to divorce. This was a golden opportunity to pass the buck!

The opportunity is fleeting.

She turned her head quickly to look at Gu Xiangqian, leaned over and said disappointedly: "You are sick or injured, but you are willing to call me and let me take care of you. I understand. Comrade Gu Xiangqian, I will organize the submission of a divorce application after I return. I hope you can agree."

After Su Ye threw the depth charge, he grabbed his bag and left the hospital.

After hearing Su Ye's words, Gu Xiangqian was surprised, astonished, and confused. He raised his head in surprise and tried to look forward.

When I heard the word "divorce", a strong and complicated feeling suddenly surged in my chest, and I felt extremely uncomfortable.

He tore off the bandage on his leg and got out of bed, but as soon as his feet touched the ground, he fell to the ground.

Gu Xiangqian struggled to stand up and chased after him, looking around blankly. Gradually, the scene in front of him became clear. People were coming and going in the corridor, and Su Ye had already disappeared.

Everyone in the ward was at a loss, not knowing what had happened. They looked at Gu Xiangqian in shock as he ran out. The whole ward was in an uproar, and a man hurriedly helped Gu Xiangqian back to the bed:

"Commander, how could you do this?"

"Xiang Qian, what's the matter? Did you have a fight?"

Gu Xiangqian pursed his lips tightly and managed to say something after a long time, "No. I saw it. Where is my luggage?"

night.

Gu Xiangqian retrieved his luggage. The items in his luggage were very simple, including two sets of military uniforms, daily necessities, a notebook, a pen, and a package of meat. His name was written on the package, and it was signed by Su Ye.

Gu Xiangqian has the habit of writing in his diary every day, not saying much, but he has persisted in doing so for many years. This book in his luggage is his diary.

‌ He opened the diary and read from 1958 to 1960, and Su Ye’s name appeared frequently.

On January 3, 1960, I met Su Ye for the first time. She gave me a bag of meat slices. We were in a hurry to gather and set off, so we didn’t have time to talk more, which was a pity.

On March 2, 1960, Su Ye drank a lot and we were very happy. When we woke up in the morning, we were as happy as fools and bought a lot of meat buns.

On March 20, 1960, I received the order to leave. I had many concerns before leaving and could not speak. But she was relieved and secretly happy.

I couldn't sleep all night.

On April 2, 1960, the comrades received the order to go into battle. In the evening, they read letters from home silently. After waiting for a long time, they did not see Su Ye's letter, so they had to go outside for training.

Gu Xiangqian turned the last page, his face solemn and cold, and he was speechless for a long time.

City C, military district compound.

Su Ye returned home, washed up and started packing his luggage.

Hundreds of kilograms of unredeemed food coupons, uneaten canteen meat coupons, and Gu Xiangqian's salary, all of which had not been spent, were well hidden by her. After careful calculation, she was still very rich in this era, and Su Ye became more and more excited.

She flipped through Gu Xiangqian's photos and took a quick glance at him. He looked quite photogenic. Gu Xiangqian was very handsome when he was a student. He had not yet been involved in the smoke of war. There was a passion in his eyes and he had the flavor of a young man from the old days.

Su Ye wrote a divorce report so that she could report it to the organization later. While sorting out her belongings, the suicide note that Gu Xiangqian had written to her suddenly fell to the ground.

"I am very happy to have met you and to have a happy marriage with you. You have given me a warm home, which is the happiest thing for me since my parents passed away.

It's a pity that we didn't have a wedding banquet. In fact, I can see that you don't like me that much. This makes me feel a little better after I leave. I hope you will be happier in the future."

Su Ye felt guilty after reading the suicide note. She put the application back into the cabinet and said, "Oh, sorry, sorry. When I leave, I will leave you some extra food. I guarantee it will be enough for you to eat for a year or so."

After saying this, Su Ye looked at Gu Xiangqian's photo reluctantly again. To be honest, based on the wonderful experience she had in the past few months, she would definitely be willing to have a relationship with him in the future.

But with food to eat now and ten years of disaster ahead, plus a heroine from a book, Su Ye had no confidence in tying her whole life to this man.

A month later, she received news that Gu Xiangqian had returned to the team.

Su Ye specially prepared good wine and food for Gu Xiangqian to come back so that she could discuss the divorce plan with him, but she didn't expect that Gu Xiangqian did not come back.

The next day, she went to ask Ning Xingdou who had returned to the team at the same time.

Ning Xingdou thought for a moment and said, "Xiang Qian may have returned to his old home. He said he wanted to sort out some old things. He lived in his own home before he applied for a dormitory."

Having said that, he brought Su Ye to the Gu family's old house.

Su Ye was stunned as he got off the car. What came into view was a small Western-style building with a garden. It was full of Gothic architectural style and was a building left over from the Republic of China period.

Ning Xingdou pressed the doorbell and pushed open the iron door.

‌ said: "This western-style building was originally donated to the country by the Gu family. ‌‌ Later, after Uncle Gu died, the house was returned as ancestral property."

Su Ye thought, no wonder Gu Xiangqian was so generous, cloth coupons were so hard to come by these days, and there were always endless shirts in his closet. Could they be old clothes left over from the past

Su Ye pushed open the door and walked in, only to find that Gu Xiangqian was standing next to the bookshelf. Even in the hot summer, he was wearing a thin cotton shirt with every button buttoned neatly.

His jet-black hair was neatly combed, his shoulders were broad and his waist was straight, his spine was straight, and his snow-white shirt wrapped around his young and fit body.

He was turning the pages of the book attentively, and when he saw her coming, he just withdrew his gaze indifferently, as if he didn't recognize Su Ye.

Su Ye saw such a beautiful scene of abstinence, and her heart began to beat, as if she smelled the sour smell of love. She was okay again!
