There is a large temperature difference between day and night on the island.
The temperature was over 20 degrees during the day but only around 10 degrees at night. After sitting there for over an hour, it was quite chilly.
After comforting the eldest sister, the couple returned to the room and checked on the children first. Seeing that the little ones were sleeping soundly, they lay back in bed together.
Lou Luhui was in a bad mood. After getting into bed, he hugged his wife tightly and buried his face in her neck.
Knowing that he was in a bad mood, Tian Mi gently stroked his head and deliberately joked: "I haven't washed my hair for about a week, aren't you afraid of the odor?"
Hearing this, the man laughed briefly and said in a muffled tone: "It's not fumes, it's fragrant."
This was a lie, but Tian Mi's lips curled up, and she comforted him gently: "Don't blame yourself too much. Since Sister Nan has decided to divorce, it will be easy from now on."
After hearing this, Lou Luhui didn't know what to say, so he turned over and lay flat on the bed.
The lights were still on, but the threshing floor was using electricity, resulting in insufficient voltage, and the light bulbs in the room were only glowing a dim yellow glow.
Lou Luhui frowned and stared at the light bulb on the roof. He was silent for a long time, then turned sideways to face his wife.
Seeing her husband fluttering like a pancake, Tian Mi helplessly put her hand on his waist to stop him from tossing and turning: "You've been so tired these days. It's so hard to go to bed early. Aren't you sleepy? Don't think about it. Call dad tomorrow morning. I don't believe that a commander like dad can't handle a scumbag."
"You... make our dad sound like a bandit." Lou Lu replied with a smile.
Tian Mi curled her lips and said, "That's not what I meant, but people are not all the same. We don't want to bully others, but when we are bullied, status or money often gives us the confidence."
The man sighed and rubbed his wife's back. "Divorce is not difficult. I'm just a little disappointed in myself. If I had discovered the problems in my elder sister's marriage earlier, would she not have lived in such a repressive environment for seven years?"
"You can't say that. Some people are just very good at hiding things. Mr. Shen is so good at managing his reputation. Without living together in close proximity, who can know what the helpful good man is really like? Besides, it's not scary to meet scum in life. As long as you break free, everything can start over again." Of course, if the ability allows, you must retaliate. If not, stay away from the scum. The most important thing is to protect yourself.
"Well, actually I know everything, but I just feel a little upset." Lou Luhui inherited his father's personality and seldom showed his emotions in public, but in front of his wife, he never concealed his joy, anger, sorrow and happiness.
Hearing this, Tian Mi raised her hand and stroked the man's chest, coaxing him in a cheesy way: "Don't panic, don't panic. Doesn't your panic make me feel bad? That Shen's lair is right there, and he can't run away. When we return to Beijing with the kids next year, I'll go with you to put a sack on him and beat him up, okay? If you don't feel relieved, beat him up a few more times."
"Pfft" Lou Luhui was amused by his wife. What old nest? Did they think it was a bandit's den? However, he had to admit that his depressed mood was indeed much better because of his wife's jokes.
So he sighed, lowered his head and kissed the top of his wife's head: "Tiantian, thank you."
Since Lou Luhui found out that the girl he fell in love with at first sight was 9 years younger than him, he was prepared that she might not be mature and he needed to be tolerant of her.
Later, as we got along, I was pleasantly surprised to find that, although my wife was young and loved to act coquettishly, and sometimes she would say things that made people laugh and cry, but most of the time, her mentality and the way she handled things were mature.
He could even feel all the time that he was being spoiled and coaxed by his young wife, so much so that he would become childish whenever he was in front of her.
He was very happy with this unexpected feeling of happiness, feeling satisfied and grateful. It was his luck to meet Tiantian.
Tian Mi really didn't want to ruin the atmosphere, but she really hadn't washed her hair for a week.
Finally, after more than ten seconds of silence, she struggled out of the man's arms and raised her hand to touch his lips.
Lou Luhui's deep eyebrows were pressed down, outlining a beautiful arc. He held his wife's hand and kissed it on his lips, then asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Tian Mi chuckled: "Look at your lips to see if there is any oil on them."
Hualala Lou Luhui clearly heard the sound of the charming atmosphere being shattered because of his wife's lack of understanding of romance.
He angrily pulled the light cord at the head of the bed, raised his hand to pull the person into his arms, closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, ".Go to sleep!"
8:00 am.
A military district headquarters in Beijing.
Lou Zhan hung up the phone with a deep look in his eyes and sat quietly in his office chair to digest his emotions.
But after a few minutes, he couldn't suppress his anger anymore and slammed the table with his fist.
The noise was so loud that the guards outside were so frightened that they didn't even bother to ask for instructions and just pushed the door open and rushed in.
"Chief! No, right?" The two looked around the room vigilantly, and when they didn't find anything, they looked at the leader sitting behind the desk with concern.
Xiao Li walked forward and asked worriedly, "Chief? Are you okay?"
Xiao Zhang squatted down and picked up the notebook that fell on the ground.
Lou Zhan has been in a high position for a long time, and apart from the incident of his son falling into an ice hole last year, there have been few things that could make him so angry in recent years.
However, his emotion was only revealed for a moment. Now his face has returned to its usual calm. He waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "It's okay." Seeing this, the guard did not ask any more questions. Just as he was about to leave, he heard the chief's order again:
"Xiao Zhang, go get the car ready. I need to go out for a while."
"yes!"
After Xiao Zhang left, Lou Zhan said to Xiao Li, who was good at tracking, "Go borrow a camera from Lao Gu and take two extra rolls of film. I'll give him the money later. Starting this afternoon, help me track Shen Ziru. If you find anything wrong, take photos of it."
Hearing this, Xiao Li was shocked. Having been with the commander for so many years, he naturally knew that Shen Ziru was the commander's son-in-law. He didn't ask why, but just frowned: "Don't we have to start now?"
Lou Zhan stood up, straightened his collar, put on his military cap, and walked out: "No need, let's go and see my good son-in-law!"
Although he didn't know what exactly happened, since they were tracking him, it must be no small matter. Xiao Li closed the door, followed the commander's steps, and asked in a low voice: "Commander, will this alert the enemy?"
Lou Zhan's eyes were cold, but he smiled: "I just want to scare this venomous snake."
“.”
If you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet.
In a military hospital, because his wife was thousands of miles away, Shen Ziru had no more scruples and inevitably behaved more recklessly in some ways.
At this moment, he was showing off his humor to the new female doctor in the hospital, making her giggle.
Just as he raised his hand to gently touch the other person's hair, pretending to help her remove the cotton on her head, his eyes caught a majestic and familiar face not far away.
Shen Ziru's pupils shrank suddenly, and the hand on the woman's head seemed to be burned by fire. He took it back, and subconsciously stood straight. The handsome smile on his face was completely restrained. Ignoring the surprised expression of the woman opposite, he respectfully and awkwardly called out: "Dad! Why are you here?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the woman who had been flirting with Shen Ziru just now also stared at the strange soldier curiously.
The man was wearing a neat military uniform, tall, majestic and imposing. Behind him were two soldiers with solemn expressions, who were obviously guards. It was obvious from this configuration that his identity was not simple.
Thinking of the gossip she had overheard about Shen Ziru's wealthy family, her expression suddenly became dignified.
Lou Zhan took a few steps closer, his expression remained unchanged, even gentle: "Why aren't you willing to help others? Why are you scared? Shouldn't you be confident and justified? Go on! Just pretend I don't exist."
As soon as these words came out, Shen Ziru, who was still holding on to his luck, lost all the color on his face. He gritted his teeth and explained, "Dad, there was dirt on the hair of this female comrade just now. You know, we doctors can't stand dirt. I was just doing it subconsciously. Please don't misunderstand me."
He spoke more and more fluently. By the end, Shen Ziru had adjusted himself and was looking at people with a gentle and reserved expression.
Tsk. He really has two faces. Lou Zhan frowned, feeling sorry for himself for being blind all these years.
It's just a thing, why did he make such a mistake back then
I thought that this cheap son-in-law was just a little arrogant, but he was essentially a good person. At least he never flattered me under my nose, nor did he ask me to do anything for him.
Now it seems that he rarely comes home, using being busy as an excuse. Perhaps he is worried that I will see through his true face.
As for not asking for anything, haha. Is it just giving him a long shot to hook a big fish
If their daughter had not been educated well enough by him and his wife, it is possible that she could have been tamed by him to the point where she would do whatever he asked.
By then, with the love he and his wife have for their daughter.
Thinking of this, Lou Zhan narrowed his eyes at his cheap son-in-law who was shorter than him.
"Commander Lou? Is it really you? Why are you here? Are you feeling unwell?" The dean thought he had recognized the wrong person and took a few steps closer before confirming that it was really Commander Lou Zhan. He handed the medical record in his hand to the assistant beside him and walked up to shake hands with him enthusiastically.
After Lou Zhan returned the handshake, he exchanged a few polite words with the dean before explaining with a smile, "I'm in good health. Today I'm just taking care of household chores. I heard that my son-in-law likes to help others, especially young and beautiful women, so I came here to take a look out of curiosity. I didn't expect to see him helping a female comrade with her hair. It's my fault for coming at the wrong time. I'm afraid I've disturbed the young man's 'helpfulness'."
As soon as these words came out, not only did Shen Ziru almost fall down, even the female doctor who was flirting with him almost fainted. She cursed Shen Ziru in her heart for being crazy. How could he commit such a terrible crime when he had such a powerful Yue Family
It would be fine if she was just courting death, but why drag her into this
That's the commander!
In fact, the dean had heard something about Shen Ziru's behavior. After all, they had been in the same environment for many years, and there were many discerning people around, so he could understand Shen Ziru's true nature to some extent.
But Dr. Shen is indeed a person who knows how to play by the rules, and even if some people have a problem with him, there is nothing they can do about it.
In addition, his medical skills are pretty good, so he hasn't made any name for himself over the years.
As the only dean in the entire hospital who knew Lou Yannan's family background, he really didn't understand why Shen Ziru was bewildered by these confusing behaviors? Did he really think Lou Lao Hu was a figment
However, no matter how happy he was, it was someone else's business. The dean was a shrewd man. After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Commander Lou, he agreed to Lou Yannan's request to extend his vacation. He also subtly praised his single son a few words before saying goodbye.
As I walked, my steps were full of joy.
The assistant was also a smart guy. Seeing that the dean was in a good mood, he joked, "Dean, you are promoting your product in advance."
The dean did not deny it. He laughed and said, "That's the Lou family. How many people want to marry into their family? Besides, Lou Yannan is such an outstanding girl. If my son can really marry her home, it will be a great honor for our ancestors."
The assistant had been helped by Lou Yannan before, and he sneered when he heard this: "This Doctor Shen Ziru may be ill."
The dean still smiled, but this time, his smile was full of mockery: "Him? He was sure that Yan Nan was a kind and honest person, and knew that she would not complain and would keep her suffering to herself, so he went from testing her to being so unscrupulous now. This is the ugly side of human nature!"
“.”
Lou Zhan, who was still standing there, looked at the female doctor who was so scared that she started to wipe her tears for the first time: "Don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with you, and I won't cause you any trouble. I just have a question that I'm a little curious about. Can you trouble this comrade to answer my question for me?"
These words were like a drop of water from heaven. The woman simply couldn't believe it. After all, she really wanted to steal the man's girlfriend, so she was nervous. Now that she heard these words, she felt like she had grabbed a life-saving straw. She immediately cried and laughed and asked, "You, you tell me."
Lou Zhan had no intention of making things difficult for a woman. He was a man himself and was very clear about men's psychology. In his opinion, if Shen Ziru had no second thoughts, no matter how many women there were, they would not be able to pounce on him. So when he spoke, his attitude was very gentle: "I'm just curious, don't you girls know that he is married?"
Hearing this, the woman's face turned pale, but she still said honestly: "Commander, I came from the countryside. It's not easy to get to this day, but after entering the hospital, I realized that it is too difficult to make a name for myself, so I want to marry into a good family. I heard that Doctor Shen has a good family background. He took the initiative to approach me and told me that his relationship with Doctor Lou was not good and they would divorce soon. I was tempted."
"You're talking nonsense. When did I ever say that?" Cold sweat dripped down Shen Ziru's forehead. He absolutely could not admit these words. However, he had just opened his mouth to defend himself when he was frightened by his father-in-law's cold eyes and could not continue.
At that moment, Shen Ziru even suspected that his father-in-law wanted to kill him. He looked at someone dead with his eyes.
Lou Zhan retracted his gaze, looked at the woman again and said, "I see, you go and get busy. By the way, your doctor Shen is right. My daughter Lou Yannan is indeed going to divorce this guy soon. In a sense, he is not lying to you."
"Dad!" If Shen Ziru had been holding on to the hope that he could explain away the past before, he was now completely panicked.
He knew the status of the Lou family too well. Even though he didn't know Yan Nan's family background at the beginning, he was indeed attracted by his wife's appearance and character.
But he knew very well how being able to unexpectedly marry into such a good Yue family would help him in his future, especially at this critical time when he was competing for the director position.
If he divorces his wife, plus what happened today, the whole military hospital will know about it in no time.
By then, let alone promotion, it’s not certain whether I can keep my current position as deputy director.
Shen Ziru admitted that he panicked at this moment.
I regret it even more.
Over the years, because the Lou family had never visited him, he became more and more careless.
Seeing his father-in-law was about to leave, Shen Ziru tried to suppress the fear in his heart, tried to block more and more inquiring eyes, and hurriedly followed behind him. Regardless of the guards' obstruction, he pleaded loudly: "Dad, Dad, you can't do this, I want to see Yannan, we have a good relationship, you can't destroy our husband and wife relationship"
After hearing this, Lou Zhan admitted that he felt disgusted and provoked.
Are you threatening him with his daughter in front of him, your father
Lou Zhan stopped, turned around and waved to signal Xiao Li and Xiao Zhang who were blocking his way to step back, then he walked closer to the man, and in his surprised eyes, he raised his foot without any warning and kicked the man out fiercely.
"bump!"
“Ah~!”
Even though he was nearly sixty years old, Lou Zhan was still in good shape. With this kick, he knocked the frail Shen Ziru directly against the wall of the corridor and knocked over a cart beside him, making a loud noise.
The nurses who were peeking around nearby were so frightened when they saw this scene that they screamed.
Ignoring the commotion around him, Lou Zhan walked step by step towards Shen Ziru, who was lying on the ground, curled up in pain.
After looking down at her for a few seconds, he slowly squatted down and said slowly, "Originally, I'm old, so I should always be respectful. But you shouldn't marry my precious daughter and treat her like a toy. You shouldn't have the guts to provoke me."
At this point, Lou Zhan snorted again: "But my self-cultivation over the years is still useful. If it were twenty years ago, given the environment at that time, if you touched my daughter, do you believe I would shoot you to death?"
Lou Zhan has never been a good-tempered person. Before joining the army, he was a notorious troublemaker in their village, a bandit who always used his fists to do everything.
As a man, besides being loyal to his country, the things he cares about most are his wife and children.
What Shen Ziru did made him even more angry than if he had slapped him directly.
But there is no need to rush. If Shen Ziru has the guts to bully his daughter for seven years, he has the ability to make her regret it for the rest of her life.
Thinking of this, Lou Zhan didn't even look at the person wailing on the ground, he stood up and strode away.
After the three of them left, the people who had witnessed all this immediately started to discuss with a "buzz!"
"Is Dr. Shen crazy? Dr. Lou is beautiful, capable, and has a good family background. Why would he do this? I always thought he liked to get close to beautiful women. Bah! He's married, but he doesn't respect himself. Is he trying to have an affair?"
Someone nearby heard it and couldn't help but retort: "That's not what you said before, saying that Dr. Lou had a cold face all day long, and that it was a waste of such a good man like Dr. Shen. Uh. Woo."
"Shut up! When did I say that? Don't talk nonsense!"
"This is going to be interesting. Doctor Shen has lost the chance to compete for the position of director, right?"
"But I really admire her. Is Dr. Lou's family so powerful? How come she didn't tell anyone about it all these years?"
"What are you talking about? He is keeping a low profile and wants to rely on his real ability."
"Haha. What you said sounds really nice. Your intention to curry favor with me is too obvious, isn't it?"
“.”
Lou Zhan didn't take the discussions behind him to heart.
After the three of them walked out of the hospital gate, Xiao Chen, who had a relatively explosive temper, couldn't help but ask, "Chief! Are we just going to let it go?"
Hearing this, Lou Zhan glanced at Xiao Li on the other side.
Xiao Li nodded: "Don't worry, Chief, I will stay now and get things done in the shortest possible time."
"Well, I want enough evidence. Even if Yannan divorces him, he can't have the opportunity to throw dirty water on my daughter." When saying these words, Lou Zhan's tone didn't fluctuate much, but there were several times just now when he really had the urge to hit Shen Ziru.
"Don't worry, Commander. I will complete the mission!"
"Well, go ahead. Be careful of Shen Ziru who may jump off the wall in desperation."
"yes!"
"Sister Nan, will you stay in this hospital in the future?" On the way back, Xiao Zhang was worried that the leader would get angry and get sick, so he chatted with him in the back seat while driving.
Lou Zhan hesitated: "It depends on Yan Nan herself. With her experience over the years, it's not impossible for her to change jobs."
Xiao Zhang smiled: "I think it's better to change the environment. Even if the Shen is gone, people will still talk about it. With Sister Nan's personality, she will definitely not like such an environment. In my opinion, it's better to change places and start over."
This time, Lou Zhan did not reply. Instead, he looked at the scenery receding outside the car window and considered whether he should call his daughter. That girl has been like that since she was a child. When she was wronged, she would just hide and cry. She looked cold and aloof, but she had a very gentle personality.
Seeing the commander was silent again, Xiao Zhang racked his brains and said, "By the way, Commander, have you thought of names for Pearl and Shell?"
Hearing this, Lou Zhan sighed. He did take some, but he didn't feel that any of them were particularly satisfactory.
Why... why are you still not talking? The commander has been in a very good mood these days because he has a pair of twin grandchildren. I thought this topic would make the leader feel better. Xiao Zhang scratched his head in confusion and tried again: "Then, Commander, do you want to talk to your wife about Sister Nan first? Otherwise, the Shen family may ask your wife to plead for you."
Speaking of his wife, thinking of her crazy reaction after knowing these things, Lou Zhan pinched his eyebrows and said, "Xiao Zhang, shut up first."
Stop comforting him and let him be quiet.
