In the 1970s, medical conditions in various places were poor. The regional military hospital was one of the hospitals with relatively good medical standards and conditions. As for other township hospitals, there were only a few doctors and no decent operating rooms. The villagers in the commune usually relied on the village barefoot doctors for medical treatment and medicine.
With Zhan Aiping's academic qualifications and abilities, she was more than qualified to be placed in a local military hospital as a military dependent, but the military hospital refused to accept Zhan Aiping.
The director of the military hospital, Xu Zhengang, was a man of strong character who could not tolerate any sand in his eyes. He was an old friend of Professor Sun and had heard of Zhan Aiping's reputation and past.
Director Xu said bluntly: "You want to enter our hospital? No way. Our small military hospital cannot accommodate such a big Buddha."
"Oh, the army is a place where she can come and go as she pleases? It's like her backyard? She's a military dependent now? She wants to go back to the military hospital? No way."
"Martyr, the daughter of a martyr is useless, Gu family? You ask Old Gu to tell me... She has been used to having everything go her way since she was a child. She can do whatever she wants. Has she ever thought about the consequences? I have this temper. I won't flatter or pamper this kind of girl. Let her stay where she wants and don't come here to annoy me."
"One moment she has to hold a scalpel, the next she has to be a teacher, and the next she has to come all the way from Shanghai to our place with a random man. How long do you think she can stay here?"
Dean Xu had already formed a preconceived notion. In his opinion, Zhan Aiping was a spoiled girl who had been smooth sailing since childhood. She acted willfully and recklessly without considering the consequences. His old friend Professor Sun had high hopes for her, but she turned around and abandoned her scalpel. As a result, this teacher did not work hard, talked about marriage with others, and remarried before marriage. She, on the other hand, was picky and chose the youngest son of the old leader. What was she after? Wasn't it all about profit? She ran from Shanghai to Yunnan Province... This was a woman who was restless and uneasy.
Professor Sun said: "Young people have to pay the price for their choices, and it would be better for her to suffer some setbacks."
Director Xu agreed very much: "Our hospital can't accommodate her, let her go to another place."
"Commander Zhao went to intercede in person, but they still refused to give in. Yuxia, you are the director of women's affairs. The higher-ups told you to go and appease Xiaozhan and see what she thinks." Proper employment of dependents is also an important issue in stabilizing the rear area and cannot be ignored. Political Commissar Zhang said to his wife Li Yuxia, "She can't go to the military hospital, and there are also county and town hospitals. I'm afraid Xiaozhan won't like the conditions there. You know, her personal conditions are really good. She stayed in the Shanghai City Hospital right after graduation. What are the conditions there? What are the conditions here?"
"She may not even be interested in the military hospital here, let alone other hospitals."
"If she doesn't like it and can't get used to it, she will still get upset with Gu Sheng."
"The instability of the family at the rear is a big problem."
Li Yuxia was very excited, feeling that she had finally been entrusted with an important task. She rubbed her hands secretly inwardly. As the director of the Women's Department, she didn't have much to do all day long and was committed to mediating family conflicts. There had been no major events recently, just trivial matters, such as the in-laws' family, the children, and the sister-in-law. She was tired of hearing about them. And then there was the Xiao Xie family. The couple would quarrel over everything. At first she tried to intervene, but later she found that this was the way they got along as a couple. They quarreled and threatened to divorce every day, but they had been arguing for so long and yet they had never divorced. They were a perfect match, and neither of them could live without the other.
Gu Sheng and Zhan Aiping seemed to get along well on the surface. As soon as they moved in, they started to enjoy their life. But they didn't expect the real situation to be so serious:
"She remarried Xiao Gu temporarily? They are just making do with each other? No wonder."
"I see why they are so awkward!"
—This couple has a huge problem!!!
Chinese people always encourage reconciliation rather than separation. As long as they can live on, they will not get divorced. Li Yuxia thinks so too. No matter why Gu Sheng and Zhan Aiping got married, as long as they can live on, they will try their best to live together.
This is a tough nut to crack.
Li Yuxia became more and more excited. She had been idle for a long time and just wanted to take on a tough task.
I hope that with her help, the newlywed couple Gu Sheng can continue to move forward hand in hand.
"We are still coordinating with the military hospital. Of course, we need to make preparations for both scenarios. You should do a good job with Xiao Zhan..."
"Don't worry, I'll take care of this." Li Yuxia patted her chest. Finally, there was something new to do. This young couple was so interesting.
Gu Sheng has a good family background, a strong work style, strong personal abilities, and is unruly. But the wife he married is even more interesting: a retired female military doctor, a darling of heaven, with a good family background... or she remarried temporarily.
My God, how many years does it take to come across a couple like this.
One of them is handsome, the other is beautiful. When she goes to mediate their family conflicts, she feels a sense of accomplishment at work, and on the other hand, it is also pleasing to the eyes. She likes to educate the "good-looking ones".
Li Yuxia felt that she should focus on Gu Sheng and his wife, and write a separate work manual for them.
We must successfully complete the tasks assigned by our superiors and strive to ensure that no more couples get divorced under our command.
*
After Li Yuxia left, Zhan Aiping and Gu Sheng finished their meal. Gu Sheng took the initiative to wash the dishes. Zhan Aiping saw how attentive he was and couldn't help but said, "I'll make you Mapo tofu next time."
Gu Sheng's hands froze: "Okay."
Although the two dishes cooked by Zhan Aiping were quite delicious, he was really afraid that his wife only knew how to cook two dishes, so he showed off his best skills from the beginning.
This is very worrying.
She also said she wanted to make Mapo Tofu…
Although he likes to eat spicy food, according to the experience he learned from his mother, the worse a person is at cooking spicy food, the more terrible the food they cook will be.
Without adding chili peppers, no matter how bad the food tastes, you can still eat it.
With the addition of chili peppers, I don’t know what kind of horrible thing it is.
"Don't underestimate me." When Zhan Aiping saw him like that, she knew what he was thinking and really wanted to kick him.
"I'll wait." After saying that, Gu Sheng continued to wash the dishes. There were only three or two dishes for the couple, so they finished quickly.
Zhan Aiping continued to decorate the house with him. They had all the four major wedding items at home, such as a radio, a watch, a sewing machine and a bicycle. Zhan Aiping asked Gu Sheng to turn on the radio and tried to adjust the channel signal. He found that he could still receive several channels. The signal was also good, the sound quality was clear, and there was not much noise.
"This room outside is better. There's some noise inside. Let's strengthen the antenna a little bit."
Zhan Aiping said: "You decide."
The bicycle at home is a black Phoenix brand bicycle. Gu Sheng is usually not allowed to ride a bicycle in the camp, so it is her means of transportation. She learned to ride a bicycle at a very young age, and it is really convenient to have a bicycle.
Finally, Zhan Aiping's gaze stopped on the sewing machine placed in the corner of the study. She and Gu Sheng carried the sewing machine in together. It was inappropriate to put it anywhere else, so they put it in the study.
As the two of them were carrying the sewing machine, Gu Sheng said nonchalantly, "The four major items for a wedding, other people have them at home, let's put one in our home too."
"I told you before."
Zhan Aiping nodded without saying anything.
Of course she knew what this bastard was thinking. He just wanted her to step on the sewing machine.
Zhan Aiping smiled in her heart.
She had worked hard to master the art of suturing, so threading the needle was no problem at all, except that she was threading the needle on the skin and flesh… Zhan Aiping thought, how is it possible that I can thread the needle outside and then come back to operate the sewing machine
Zhan Aiping stood at the door of the study, she held her cheek with her hand and looked at the huge black thing. Naturally, she had her own little thoughts.
Gu Sheng wanted to see her operating the sewing machine.
What a coincidence.
—She also wanted to see Gu Sheng working on the sewing machine.
Zhan Aiping rolled her eyes and thought, let’s just rely on our own abilities.
Although they have become husband and wife and have expressed their feelings to each other, I have already gotten used to it and still can't help but fight with him.
Fighting against the sky is endless fun, fighting against people is endless fun.
"Gu Sheng, after we've packed, let's call home together. Your parents..." After saying this, Zhan Aiping felt a little uneasy. Uncle Gu and Aunt Qin were old acquaintances from back then. She and Gu Sheng were already married, and it was a done deal. She came to Yunnan Province with the army, and she didn't even call to inform them. It was really unreasonable.
But she really didn't know how to face Gu's parents.
"You should make a call." Gu Sheng was in a very relaxed mood. Now that his wife had come with him, if she really became his wife, it would be useless for others to stop her. "Call your dad too."
Even an ugly son-in-law has to meet his father-in-law.
He really didn't do this in a very authentic way.
"Okay, let's fight together." Zhan Aiping was confused. She thought, this might just be a self-inflicted injury. How could she get Gu Sheng to cooperate with her? Was she going to sign a humiliating treaty
Who cares? No matter where he is, Zhanbo can’t do anything weird.
Zhan Aiping breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she would be able to adapt to the situation as the time came. After all, Zhan Bo was her biological father, and since he had a son-in-law, she should talk to him in person.
I’m just afraid that after I finish speaking, Gu Sheng will be too proud.
It doesn't matter.
"Let's not fight with my brother. He's not too far away, right? Then we can go there in person and give him a scare." Thinking of her younger brother Zhan Mingzhao, Zhan Aiping became happy again.
"Well, I don't know if he recognizes me as his brother-in-law."
Zhan Aiping teased him: "Why don't you recognize him? You two used to have a good relationship."
Gu Sheng smiled: "I kidnapped his sister, and he was angry."
"That's it." Zhan Aiping laughed even harder: "How can I face Xiangyi? I deceived her brother and became her sister-in-law."
Gu Sheng: “…”
Zhan Aiping: “…”
The couple's scalps tingled and they hugged each other as if they were fellow villagers, their eyes filled with tears.
What a pair of brothers!
No matter how much he didn't want to face it, he still had to face it. Gu Sheng hugged his wife, put his head on her shoulder, and whispered: "Wife, please do me a favor."
Zhan Aiping raised her hand and touched his handsome face: "What's wrong?"
“…Give me some face.” Gu Sheng made a “begging for mercy” gesture.
"Don't worry, I'll give you face and won't harm you."
"No." Gu Sheng closed his eyes, hardened his heart and continued: "Before I got married, I told your parents-in-law that after I got married, I would slowly take care of you and make you obedient..."
Zhan Aiping: “…” Why didn’t you think of today when you were talking nonsense
"Wife, please give me some face." Comrade Xiao Gu is flexible and can bend and stretch himself. When it is time to humble himself, he must humble himself.
I can't let that old man laugh at me!
Zhan Aiping patted his face and said, "Okay, I'll give you face, but you have to promise me one thing."
Gu Sheng asked: "What's the matter?"
Zhan Aiping stated her purpose: "You make two pieces of clothing for me. You must make them by hand, using our sewing machine."
Gu Sheng's mouth twitched: "... You are dreaming."
How could he possibly operate a sewing machine
He didn't buy a sewing machine just to tie himself up in knots.
"Then you are dreaming. I will—"
"You called them grandparents?" Gu Sheng smiled. He raised his hand and pinched Zhan Aiping's face, and compromised: "Okay, okay, I agree. Remember to behave better in front of your parents-in-law."
Zhan Aiping smiled: "I am a young wife who was taken care of."
"As for me, I'm just a poor guy who was picked on by you." What the hell is the point of buying a sewing machine? He's shooting himself in the foot. You know that Zhan Da Pingping is not easy to deal with.
Zhan Aiping hugged his face and kissed him, and then gave him some sweet words: "Don't worry, I will definitely save your reputation. Look, you are using the sewing machine at home to make clothes. Only heaven, earth, you and I know it, and no third person will know it."
"Make one set for me and one set for yourself, and then you can tell others that I made them all."
"If I do a good job, I can also gain a reputation as a virtuous and skillful person."
Gu Sheng: "…Why don't you do it yourself?"
Comrade Xiao Gu never thought in his life that he could make clothes using a sewing machine.
Zhan Aiping said honestly: "My sworn enemy, I just want to see you stepping on the sewing machine."
Gu Sheng: “…” Haha, that’s such a coincidence.
"I'm afraid you won't get a reputation for being virtuous and skillful with the clothes I make."
Zhan Aiping smiled and shook her head: "I don't believe it. We grew up together, so we don't know each other. Gu Sheng, I know you are skillful and meticulous. You have such a high level of drawing skills. Making a piece of clothing is no problem for you at all."
"I can't get the reputation of being virtuous and skillful because I make the clothes myself." Comrade Xiaozhan is quite self-aware.
Gu Sheng: "…You are quite competitive."
"Yes, we can't lose face." Zhan Aiping nudged him, "You bought the sewing machine, everyone saw it, we live in the same compound, if we don't make clothes, people will definitely ask, if we do, people will definitely be curious about my craftsmanship... As the saying goes, self-help brings plenty of food and clothing, our young couple's reputation depends on you, you have to make me a few presentable pieces, so that I can keep things in order, Fifth Brother Gu."
"We don't want to be the best, but we also don't want to be laughed at. We should be the last one. We should stay moderate, don't you think?"
She kept calling him "Fifth Brother Gu" and "our young couple", which really touched Gu Sheng's heart. Gu Sheng raised his finger and pointed at his face, smiling: "I'll agree to it if you give me a kiss."
Zhan Aiping happily held his face and kissed him. Gu Sheng picked her up by the waist and bent down to kiss her lips.
"It's good for us to live a lively life like this."
"Go call your parents-in-law, little daughter-in-law."
*
There was no telephone at home, but there was a public telephone room in the family compound, not far from their home. The two men walked straight over and saw a young female soldier sitting inside with short hair and wearing a military uniform. When she saw them, she looked up curiously.
He Man, a female soldier with short hair, saw a couple coming. The man was an officer, tall and handsome, with a cold temperament. They should be the new battalion commander Gu and his wife who had just arrived in the family compound. Next to him was his newlywed wife. Battalion commander Gu's wife was not short, but when she stood next to the man, she still looked a bit like a little bird, and was very beautiful.
The three of them simply greeted each other. He Man lowered her head and pretended to read a newspaper, but she couldn't help but prick up her ears to listen to their phone call.
Zhan Aiping and Gu Sheng sat down. Zhan Aiping glanced at He Man, then at the telephone in front of her. She looked at Gu Sheng and thought that this was the time to test the underground party's ability.
They high-fived.
—No one can lose face.
Gu Sheng raised his handsome eyebrows: "Call your dad first?"
"Okay." Zhan Aiping nodded in agreement.
The call was connected and the call was transferred to Zhanbo. Not long after, Zhanbo's voice came through the phone: "Hello, Pingping?"
Zhan Bo, who answered the phone on the other end, was terrified. The call was from Yunnan Province, and he didn't know what kind of infuriating things he would hear from this evil girl.
Standing behind him were Zhu Jiaorong and Zhan Aijia. When the mother and son heard that Zhan Aiping had called back, they squatted aside and listened.
Zhan Aijia has been going through a "hard time" recently. She has to do all the housework at home. Zhan Bo now has an idle job and has plenty of free time every day. He has no control over people at work, but when he gets home, he acts like a man and says he wants to discipline his daughter.
—To train Zhan Aijia to be a good wife and mother, just like her mother.
Zhan Aijia was so angry that she was dumbfounded, but Zhan Bo still acted like a strict father who said "I'm doing this for your own good", and always said "You should learn from your mother" and "I teach you because I treat you as my own daughter"... Plus, she didn't want to go to the countryside, and had to rely on Zhan Bo's connections to find a job, so she had to endure it obediently.
Why should the sins committed by his own daughter be punished upon her
Of course, Zhan Bo also used a carrot to tug on her, saying that he would find her a good husband in the future... Zhan Aija could only endure it.
She thought, no matter how good her in-laws were, could they be better than the Gu family? She wanted to marry Gu Sheng.
Did Zhan Aiping really go to live in Yunnan Province with Gu Sheng
—They should get divorced quickly!
Zhan Aijia hopes that Zhan Aiping will live a life of misery like her. Gu Sheng is a man with a bad temper. He comes from a well-off family with four older brothers and he is the youngest son, so he has the temper of a rich young master. If Zhan Aiping lives with him, she will definitely suffer every day.
What's more, they are old enemies and mortal enemies. Gu Sheng agreed to marry Zhan Aiping, so it must be that Zhan Aiping "promised" him something.
Gu Sheng married her with the intention of punishing her and beating her to death!
"It's me, Uncle Zhan, Gu Sheng, no, I just said the wrong thing, Dad."
"Yes, Pingping is right next to me."
"Oh, okay, okay, let Pingping live a good life with you."
"Dad, don't worry, I will take good care of Pingping."
"Okay, okay, I feel relieved knowing that you two are doing well..."
It really was a scene of "loving father and filial son". He Man, who was eavesdropping on the side, turned her head and curled her lips, thinking it was so old-fashioned. This kind of call sounded meaningless.
Yes, when a newly married couple calls home, they are naturally polite and friendly to each other.
Even after hanging up the phone, Zhan Bo was still bubbling with joy, and Gu Sheng's voice was like "lingering in the air" in his mind. He called him "Dad", and he was his good son-in-law. Zhan Bo had long wanted a "good son" like Gu Sheng, who was handsome, tall, capable, and good in everything.
Zhan Bo's eldest son Zhan Mingzhao is unwilling to join the army, and his youngest son is spoiled by his mother. Gu Sheng, a young and promising man with a bright future, is his ideal son.
Zhanbo was extremely excited. It was going to rain that day and his mother was going to get married. After his daughter got married, she would be controlled by a man and no matter how wild her heart was, she would have to keep it under control.
He hopes that his good Pingping will control her temper and live a good life with Gu Sheng.
"Did you hear that? Did you hear that? Your sister and your brother-in-law are living a good life."
"Your sister must have become more virtuous. You should learn from her." Zhan Bo rubbed his hands excitedly.
Zhan Aijia thought, how is it possible?
Until now, Zhan Aijia still couldn't react. Why did Gu Sheng speak so kindly on the phone? Why did Gu Sheng call him "Dad" directly? He also said "I will take good care of Pingping and live a good life with Pingping".
Is this something Gu Sheng could say
Zhan Aiping has such a bad temper and they are sworn enemies. How can they possibly live peacefully under the same roof
Zhan Bo was secretly happy over there, while Zhan Aijia pulled her mother to her side and whispered, "I don't believe it, I don't believe it, I don't believe that Zhan Aiping can live a good life with Gu Sheng."
"Zhan Aiping must have promised Gu Sheng something, so Gu Sheng said that on the phone. They must be a fake couple, Mom, they must be a fake couple. Look, this fake couple has coaxed my dad into a state of mind!!"
Zhu Jiaorong shook her head. She was also feeling very uncomfortable: "Now your brother-in-law's 'ear wind' is more effective than my pillow wind."
Zhanbo's heart began to favor his eldest daughter, not for any other reason, but because his daughter found him a "good son-in-law".
This Gu Sheng is even closer to him than his own son!
Zhu Jiaorong said to Zhan Aijia: "You have to find him a better son-in-law, otherwise he will devote himself to your sister."
Zhan Aijia: "How can I find it? You won't introduce it to me."
"Be more virtuous. You will be the one doing all the housework from now on. Do it well and I will let you choose a partner later."
Zhan Aijia: "… My hands are so rough that I can't even see anyone. How can I find a good partner?"
"That's what my in-laws like."
Zhan Aijia: “…”
"I just don't believe it. Zhan Aiping and Gu Sheng, how long can they deceive each other? Can they deceive for a year? Two years? Three years? He will have to divorce this fake couple sooner or later!"
"Then it will be time for us to be proud of ourselves."
Gu Sheng hung up the phone. He Man, who was not far away, turned her head away. Although the couple were good-looking, she was no longer interested in listening to their phone call. There was no excitement at all and her ears were callused from listening to it.
I've heard this kind of call more than 80 times, if not a hundred times. It's boring. The next call will definitely be the same. It's boring.
He Man rubbed her cheek, took out a newspaper and prepared to read it. She was not interested in listening to their casual chat.
While dialing the phone, Gu Sheng asked Zhan Aiping: "Who should speak first, you or me?"
Zhan Aiping pushed him and whispered, "You speak first. After all, I am a shy young wife."
He Man: “…?” What young wife
Gu Sheng: “…Okay.”
The phone call was connected, and the voice came through the microphone immediately. Gu Ze'an was full of energy, and his voice was the loudest, gradually increasing from soft to loud: "Go away, go away, all of you go away, old woman, go over, old man, don't come over here, stand up straight, and listen with your ears."
Gu Sheng and Zhan Aiping looked at each other: "..."
It seems there are a lot of people on the other end of the phone.
"Hello."
Gu Sheng said directly: "Old man, it's me, Gu Sheng, your great son."
He Man: “?!”
"Big son, do I have such a big son? You little bastard." Gu Ze'an got angry when he heard the voice, "Did Pingping really go with you? Have you two arrived?"
Gu Sheng said: "When we got there, she sat next to me."
"Really? Let her answer the phone later. How are you two getting along now?"
Gu Sheng smiled proudly: "Very good."
fine
Gu Ze'an was stunned. How could he not know his own son? This little bastard was so proud? What was he proud of? What was he proud of? "Pingping really wants to sit with you?"
"Don't you believe it?" Gu Sheng was extremely proud: "If you don't believe me, I'll let her tell you. Now if I tell her to go east, she won't dare to go west. If I tell her to go west, she won't dare to go east."
Zhan Aiping: “…” Take it easy, buddy.
He Man: “…?” This is too arrogant.
"You—" Gu Ze'an almost couldn't catch his breath. This little bastard was too arrogant. "What are you dreaming about?"
"Pingping, can she still listen to you? If she can listen to you, she can listen to you. The sun will rise from the west. What are you dreaming about? Is Pingping really by your side?"
"Yes." Gu Sheng said lazily: "Pingping, say hello to our dad."
He gave Zhan Aiping a look, meaning that it was up to her to decide. If she didn't connect it properly, all they had agreed on would be invalid.
Zhan Aiping was speechless: "..."
In order to get him to step on the sewing machine, she really had to try her best and not let the agreed agreement go to waste.
Zhan Aiping answered the phone: "Hello, Uncle Gu, this is Pingping."
Upon hearing her voice, Gu Ze'an, Qin Ying and Gu Xiangyi all became excited.
It’s really Pingping!
"Pingping, it's really Pingping. Why call me Uncle Gu? Just call me Dad." Gu Ze'an was excited. This was the first daughter-in-law he had in his life, and the daughter-in-law he had watched grow up since she was a child.
Much better than that little bastard.
Zhan Aiping smiled and said, "Dad."
The word "Dad" made Gu Ze'an so happy that Qin Ying grabbed the phone and said, "Pingping, it's me!"
When she heard Qin Ying's voice, Zhan Aiping's smile deepened, and she shouted directly: "Mom."
After she shouted, her nose felt sore and it took her a long time to hold back her emotions.
Qin Ying was particularly kind to her when she was a child and treated her like her own daughter.
Qin Ying responded happily: "Pingping, did Lao Wu bully you? Don't listen to him. If he bullies you, tell us."
"And me, and me, sister-in-law, sister Pingping, how come you are my fifth sister-in-law..."
Zhan Aiping happily called her: "Little sister."
"My brother Pingping, you married my fifth sister..."
Zhan Aiping was about to laugh out loud, but Gu Sheng gave her a look that said "you decide".
Comrade Xiaozhan had no choice but to shut up.
It is more important to let the enemy step on the sewing machine.
"I plan to live a good life with Gu Sheng in the future."
After she finished speaking, Gu Sheng snatched the phone and said, "Old man, did you hear that? My wife plans to live a good life with me."
Gu Ze'an: "Don't talk. I get high blood pressure when I hear you talking. Let my daughter-in-law talk."
As soon as Gu Ze'an and Qin Ying heard Zhan Aiping's words, they felt relieved. No matter how the two got married, as long as they were willing to live a good life in the future, that was enough.
However, Gu Ze'an was very suspicious. What on earth was this kid so proud of
Gu Sheng smiled: "You just want me to tell you."
"What did you say? I heard you bragging, and you are the only one who wants to deal with Pingping? You, just live an honest life with Pingping." Gu Ze'an expressed disdain.
"Pingping is my wife now, you know that?" Gu Sheng curled his lips and said, "She is my own wife, I can do whatever I want to her. Do you think I am you, a henpecked and henpecked husband?"
Zhan Aiping: “…?” Don’t you leave yourself a way out
Gu Ze'an gasped. Qin Ying was very happy beside him. She snatched the phone and said, "Old Five, let me talk to you two first. Wait for a while and let my younger sister go to your place. You brothers and sisters-in-law can help take care of the baby."
Gu Sheng: “!?”
Zhan Aiping: “…”
Gu Ze'an grabbed the phone and said, "You little bastard, are you scared? Let your sister go and see who will take care of who."
Gu Xiangyi said on the phone: "Sister Pingping, wait for me to come, I will form an alliance with you and will never let my brother bully you."
The phone hung up.
Zhan Aiping and Gu Sheng walked out of the telephone room together. Gu Sheng had a blank expression on his face, and he was dressed neatly in his military uniform. Zhan Aiping could see a kind of heroic spirit in him, as if “the wind is whistling and the Yishui River is cold, the hero will never return once he leaves.”
She went up to him and held his hand. "Comrade Gu, have you noticed one thing? You are quite like Li Bai - drink wine today and be drunk today."
Brother Gu Wu is very brave.
Gu Sheng sighed and said, "Forget it, let the old man feel uncomfortable for a while. At worst, I won't answer his calls in the future."
"What are you afraid of? You have to trust your good revolutionary comrade. Comrade Xiao Zhan is definitely considering your face."
Gu Sheng rubbed his wrist: "She is about to form an alliance with you."
Zhan Aiping calmed her revolutionary friend: "I'll pull her over to join you as an ally."
"I'm not afraid of her coming over." Gu Sheng put his arm around Zhan Aiping's shoulders: "We should just live a good life as husband and wife. This little girl has nothing to do with us."
"Wait for my little sister to come over, and try to persuade her."
Zhan Aiping sighed: "No one can advise you on matters of the heart."
She knew something about Gu Xiangyi and that man, but this time was different. She remembered that Gu Xiangyi had never been to Yunnan Province. It might be because she became Gu Xiaomei's sister-in-law that Gu Ze'an and his wife felt comfortable letting her come.
Although she did not come here, she eventually married that man. That man had a wife in Yunnan Province and had a child with her. Later, the wife died. Then Gu Xiangyi married him and their life was neither good nor bad.
"Too."
Gu Sheng sent her back home. Their yard had been almost repaired. The chickens and ducks were well raised and kept in a small corner. The vegetable seedlings that Li Yuxia had sent were also neatly planted on a small piece of land. They looked fresh and green, full of vitality.
The lush green easily makes people feel good.
Zhan Aiping looked at Gu Sheng with a smile: "Comrade Gu, are you satisfied with what you just saw?"
Gu Sheng smiled helplessly: "Satisfied, quite satisfied."
"Remember what you promised."
"Okay." Gu Sheng was now very good-tempered in front of her. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead. "I'll go to the regiment headquarters later. You stay at home and have a good rest. Make good use of your time. You don't have many days to spare. Once your organizational relationship is transferred and your work is arranged, you will also have to start working, Doctor Zhan."
"With your qualifications, you can definitely be arranged to work in the military hospital. They are still short of doctors there."
"Yeah." When she heard him mention the military hospital, Zhan Aiping remembered that the person Gu Xiangyi liked was a male military doctor. She was not sure whether he was in the military hospital at this moment.
"Then I'm leaving."
"Wait—" Zhan Aiping stopped him. Gu Sheng looked at her in confusion. Zhan Aiping smiled and straightened his clothes and laid them flat for him, "Pay attention to military appearance and discipline."
She looked up at Gu Sheng's face and wanted to laugh when she thought of his arrogant look just now. He was a handsome guy outside, but he had to be timid at home.
Zhan Aiping motioned for him to lower his head, she stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lips, then pushed him and said, "Let's go."
Gu Sheng laughed, walked forward a few steps, looked back at her several times, and Zhan Aiping waved to him until she saw his figure disappear.
Zhan Aiping felt empty inside. They had been together for the past few days, and when the person suddenly disappeared, she was really reluctant to let him go.
She felt irritated and a little confused. She actually started to miss him after being apart for just a while.
All she kept thinking about in her mind was the time they had spent together over the past few days. With a smile on her face, Zhan Aiping planned to tidy up the house and then cook two dishes for him in the evening to applaud.
Zhan Aiping thought about it for a while, and then she realized belatedly that he had not smoked in front of her in the past few days. At most, he just held the cigarette in his mouth to satisfy his urge.
—It’s pretty good, keep it up.
Zhan Aiping's mood inexplicably improved. She planned to go into the house first to check her sewing machine and clean it thoroughly.
After a while, Director Li Yuxia came to see her.
Director Li really cares about the people.
Li Yuxia saw Zhan Aiping holding a rag in her hand and asked her, "What are you doing?"
"Wipe the sewing machine at home."
Li Yuxia was surprised: "You want to make clothes?"
This beautiful young military wife in front of her was said to be able to knock down three big men, and she was said to have remarried temporarily, and she was also said to... Anyway, each of these things made it impossible for her to connect what she heard to her.
"Yeah." Zhan Aiping nodded.
"Do it yourself?"
Zhan Aiping: “Yes.” But she didn’t make it herself.
Li Yuxia said: "Let me see your cooking skills then."
"Okay." Zhan Aiping thought to herself that she knew that such an enthusiastic comrade would definitely be curious.
"Xiao Zhan, I need to tell you something."
