Remarriage to a Mortal Enemy in the 70s

Chapter 29: confidence

Views:

Li Yuxia came to talk to Zhan Aiping. She had made sufficient preparations in advance. She had simulated various possible reactions of Zhan Aiping in her mind and even wrote a notebook. She was determined to chew this tough bone.

While she was thinking and weaving words in her mind, she was observing her surroundings carefully. Gu Sheng and Zhan Aiping had tidied up their new home very neatly, and it was obvious that they were careful people. Looking at Zhan Aiping again, although she was holding a rag in her hands, her hands were slender and white, and the fingertips were as pink as petals.

These are a pair of beautiful hands, with delicate skin and tender flesh. One can tell at a glance that they have never done rough work.

Little did she know that Zhan Aiping's hands had been carefully cared for by her for a long time before they became like this. If you look closely, you can see thin calluses on the palms, but the backs of her hands are white, tender and beautiful.

Li Yuxia said tentatively: "Xiao Zhan, I want to talk to you about your work. The military hospital has considered that you may not be suitable to stay there. Let me see what you think. Where do you want to be placed, the county hospital or the township hospital..."

"I understand." Zhan Aiping nodded. "I'll go to the nearest township hospital. I asked and it seems there is one. It takes about half an hour to ride a bicycle. It seems that cars going in and out of the city from the camp will pass by in the morning and evening..."

Zhan Aiping could have guessed such a result. She was one of the best students in the Military Medical University at that time. She stayed in Shanghai and was placed high hopes by her teachers. But in the end, she gave up the scalpel on her own initiative. Her teachers must have been very disappointed with her.

The conditions in the military hospital were good, but the township hospital was small and shabby and didn't even have a proper operating room, but this might be the place where she could really show her talents.

She has experience in both Chinese and Western medicine. In addition, when she was in Shanghai, Zhan Aiping read a lot of teaching materials. Through teaching medical students, Zhan Aiping also discovered that she had potential to be a teacher.

There are not many doctors in the township hospital, and the skills of the barefoot doctors in the village vary. Maybe she will be able to do both medical and teaching work in the future.

It is good to be an excellent doctor yourself, and it is also good to teach a group of excellent doctors. No matter how excellent a person's medical skills are, they are ultimately limited. This era needs more basic medical doctors with a certain level.

It is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. There are too many people above you in a military hospital, while township hospitals have a lot more freedom, and more freedom in time and management.

Li Yuxia was stunned: “…” She just stopped talking without saying anything.

"Are you really planning this?"

"Comrade Xiao Zhan, you have to think it through. You can't have any emotional problems."

Zhan Aiping smiled and said, "Director Li, don't worry, I don't have any emotional problems. You can go back. This is what I think."

Seeing the bright smile on her face, Li Yuxia's whole body stiffened. She thought of the booklet she had compiled. Could this hard bone be softened so easily

She said she had no emotional problems and she even asked to go to the township hospital.

Li Yuxia thought to herself, as the director of women's affairs,

—No sense of accomplishment.

Li Yuxia's head was buzzing. She didn't know whether to walk or sit. She couldn't believe that the problem was solved like this. She asked Zhan Aiping several times in a row. Zhan Aiping was holding a feather duster and was in a relaxed and happy mood. She said that she really had no emotional problems. She also said that she had thought it through.

Li Yuxia: “…”

Just as she was about to leave, an orderly came running in and said, "Captain Gu went to the military hospital in a rage, and we couldn't stop him."

Okay.

There are no emotional problems here, but there are emotional problems there. Li Yuxia hates herself for not being able to talk to Gu Sheng.

Zhan Aiping put down the things in her hand and said, "I'm going to the military hospital."

Li Yuxia followed and said, "I'll go with you."

—Look, here comes the trouble!

Her eyes were as bright as stars. The couple was about to have a quarrel, and the things she had prepared were useful.

Zhan Aiping and Director Li left the family compound together and borrowed a jeep. Driver Zheng Hua drove them to the hospital. It was an old, broken car with paint peeling off in many places. It made loud clanging sounds as it drove on the road. It was a spare car that was on the verge of being scrapped.

Director Li put her hand on the window to steady herself. She just wanted to ask the young comrade in front of her: "Can you really drive?"

Zhan Aiping, who was sitting next to him, was sitting quietly and steady like a mountain.

This broken car won't get into any accidents these days. There aren't even two other cars on the road, so even if there is an accident, it won't be a serious problem.

"Little Zhan, you—" Zhan Aiping was so calm. Li Yuxia thought that at her age, she couldn't be inferior to a young girl.

"-Bang!"

Perhaps God couldn't stand Zhan Aiping's calmness. There was a loud bang, and the car swayed left and right. The people in the car swayed left and right with it. After a brake, the car barely stopped steadily on the road.

The tire is flat.

The driver Zheng Hua had an unpleasant look on his face. He got out of the car and took a look: "Two sisters-in-law, the tire is flat. Please wait here while I go find someone—"

Zhan Aiping asked, "Is there a spare tire in the car?"

"Yes, I do, but I—" He, he, he doesn't really know how to do it...

Zhan Aiping glanced at him again: "Your hand is sprained."

"I just got hit, and now I can't use my strength."

"Stretch out your hand." Zhan Aiping's tone was calm. She grabbed Zheng Hua's hand, aimed at the right spot and pressed it several times. Li Yuxia immediately heard a pig-slaughtering scream, which made her take a step back.

Zhan Aiping put a plaster on him and let go, "Okay, go and have a rest."

Zheng Hua: “…” He was a little afraid of this pretty young military wife, so he acted very ruthlessly.

Cruel, accurate and spicy.

Li Yuxia: "...Xiaozhan, you, you still carry a plaster for bruises with you."

Zhan Aiping casually said: "I also carry needles with me." As a qualified Chinese medicine practitioner, it is necessary to carry needles.

Li Yuxia: “…!”

She is now very curious about what the clothes made by Zhan Aiping look like.

Zhan Aiping opened the trunk. Usually, this kind of scrapped car would be equipped with all the tools needed to repair it, because it often needed to be repaired and people were reluctant to throw it away.

She pulled out the repair box, rolled up her sleeves, half-knelt on the ground, and started working.

Li Yuxia was watching from the side and was muttering to herself. She turned to look at Zheng Hua who was squatting on the ground, and then looked at Zhan Aiping who was dressed like a lady in front of her. This pretty little military wife, with her energetic and efficient spirit just now, was more like a male soldier than a male soldier.

Look at Zheng Hua, standing next to Zhan Aiping, she looks like a shy little girl.

Li Yuxia: “…”

As the director of women's affairs, who should she be working for

Li Yuxia turned her head and stared at Zheng Hua, who was lying on the ground. This young comrade had a round face and looked very young. She showed her usual work smile and said in a gentle voice, "Xiao Zheng, this is not your fault. Don't have any emotional problems..."

Zheng Hua: “…”

"Sister-in-law, I, I, I, I... I don't have any emotional problems."

Li Yuxia: “…” It’s written on your face that you have it!

Zhan Aiping changed the spare tire and repaired the broken car. She couldn't stand it anymore! There is no man who doesn't love cars. Although Zhan Aiping is a woman, she also loves cars. When she was a child, she dreamed of driving a tank, a plane, a rocket, a cannon, and so on. Her mother gave her a tank and a plane model as a birthday gift for her fifth birthday.

Although she never touched a tank or an airplane when she grew up, she still has a deep understanding of cars. She always goes out for a ride in her car on weekdays, and she also knows how to repair and modify cars.

Zhan Aiping quickly fixed the car and asked Li Yuxia and Zheng Hua to get back in the car. Zheng Hua stammered, "I, I..."

He is a bit soft-handed and it's not easy for him to drive.

"Director Li, you sit in the back, Xiao Zheng, you sit in the passenger seat, you give directions, I'll drive."

Director Li: "Is this possible? Xiao Zhan, can you drive?"

"How could I not know how to do something so simple? Get in the car."

Director Li sat in the back, skeptical, while Zhan Aiping got in the driver's seat, started the engine and started the car. The old car began to shake forward on the mountain road again, and this time it was much better than when they set out.

Director Li: “!” This little fan made the car more stable. How does Xiao Zheng drive? Sometimes he drives slowly, sometimes he drives fast. He almost made her vomit.

Zheng Hua: "...Sister-in-law, you are quite good at driving."

Zhan Aiping held the steering wheel and stared straight ahead expressionlessly. The old car couldn't accelerate and just moved forward steadily on the mountain road. If they were not in a hurry to go to the military hospital, they would have just been taking a leisurely ride on the mountain.

Unlike the tall and short buildings of all sizes in Shanghai, here there are mountains and dense forests everywhere, full of lush greenery. For photographers, every place here is a beautiful sight.

Further away, there is a faint primeval forest with the occasional wisp of smoke from a village.

There were two men on the roadside. When they heard the thumping sound of their rickshaw, they stopped and waved to stop the car, "Comrade! Comrade! Stop the car!!"

They were two young men, wearing grey shirts with rolled-up sleeves, trousers rolled up above the knees, and straw hats on their backs. Their skin was tanned dark red, and they were two young men.

Zhan Aiping stopped the car.

The two were stunned. Why was the driver a pretty girl, and the passenger seat a young soldier

Because the two men's gazes were too direct, the young soldier Zheng Hua's face turned red.

—He’s going to be emotional!!!

He Wenliang, one of the two men, spoke tentatively: "Comrade, it's urgent. We want to go to the military hospital. Can you give us a ride?"

"We heard that two large vehicles transporting educated youth had an accident on a mountain road and dozens of people were injured. We wanted to donate blood!"

Zhan Aiping said: "Get in the car, we are also going to the military hospital."

Li Yuxia opened the rear door and let the two of them get in. The three of them squeezed in at the back. Hearing that something had happened, Li Yuxia became anxious. He Wenliang asked, "Are you going to donate blood, too?"

Li Yuxia: “…?”

Zhan Aiping, who was driving, said, "I'm a doctor."

Zheng Hua coughed and said, "My hand is broken. I am a patient."

"Oh." It turned out that they were sending a patient to the hospital.

Zhan Aiping continued driving, and before long, they had arrived at the military hospital. At this time, the military hospital had already become a mess because there were too many patients sent there. In addition to the educated youth who had an accident today, there were also soldiers who were dehydrated due to long-term training, and militiamen who fell from the elevated platform while building a farm...

The lightly injured and the seriously injured were mixed together. Doctors in white coats were busy here and there. People were needed here and there. People were coming and going in a mess. The operating room was full, and operations were also being performed outside without the conditions for surgery.

Zhan Aiping and He Wenliang pointed out the location for blood donation, and Li Yuxia and Zheng Hua followed. Zhan Aiping ran into the hospital building as if she was familiar with the place. When she came out, her hair was tied under a hat, and she put on a white coat and a mask on her face, covering her pretty face and leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.

"The mild cases are on this side, the severe cases are on that side..."

"Get out of the way—"

"Here comes another one."

Several people were carrying the person on the stretcher, and some were covering the person's wounds with their hands. Zhang Jun, a newly arrived intern, was flustered. His hands were covered in blood, and his face was splattered with blood. He was desperately thinking about the contents of the textbook in his mind, what to do in such a situation...

"The injury is in the aorta, and the bleeding won't stop."

"Someone come and help stop the bleeding!"

Zhang Jun looked around but didn't see any familiar faces. Everyone was busy and no one was free. His heart beat faster as he thought about what to do, but his hands were shaking and he didn't dare to do anything.

Help, do I have to watch him—

Just as he was about to loosen his grip, he felt warmth and wetness under his hand again. The smell of rust lingered around him, and the strong smell of blood made him feel desperate. Warm blood oozed from between his fingers.

"Get out of the way!" At this time, a man came to his side. The man's voice was steady, with an inexplicable calming power.

Zhang Jun turned his head and saw a pair of beautiful eyes. Those eyes were very beautiful. Her eyes were like stars in the sky, reflecting the Milky Way. His heartbeat slowed down.

Which female doctor in the hospital is this

Zhang Jun had also just arrived not long ago. Since she was wearing a mask, he couldn't recognize who she was and just thought she was also a doctor in the hospital.

"Get out of the way, I'll do it."

"I-"

Zhan Aiping took over his hand and used the compression belt and the needle in her hand to temporarily stop the bleeding of the patient under her. Zhang Jun looked at the long needle reflecting the bright light in a daze.

"Cooperate with me."

"Prepare to operate on the patient."

The moment she picked up the scalpel again, Zhan Aiping found that she was not panicked at all. It was strange. Maybe she would be panicked before and after the operation, but when she really picked up the knife, she was calmer and composed than anyone else.

Everything happened so naturally and smoothly. She had a clear mind and each step was carried out in an orderly manner. Her hands were deft and she moved as her heart moved without any hesitation, as if she had rehearsed what she was doing countless times in her mind.

The watch in my pocket was ticking away the seconds. I could no longer feel the passage of time around me, and everything around me became extremely quiet.

Only when a figure passed by, Zhan Aiping subconsciously looked back and met eyes with someone from a distance of several meters.

—The angry Captain Gu was conscripted into the army at short notice.

She quickly looked away, putting everything behind her and focusing on the task at hand.

After performing three operations in a row and getting used to cooperating with the doctors around her, Zhan Aiping breathed a sigh of relief when everything was over. When she looked outside, it was already night and dim lights illuminated the hospital corridor.

There were many people squatting on the corridor, and the busy crowd had returned to calm.

Zhan Aiping breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did she realize that her body seemed to be marinated in the blood. A doctor invited her to have dinner with them, but Zhan Aiping refused because she was not in the same group with them.

She rubbed her nose and thought to herself that it was fortunately not the smell of barbecue.

Zhan Aiping didn't feel hungry yet, so she went to the dean's office on the third floor. There were two people inside. One of them was wearing glasses and a white coat with a military uniform underneath. He had a square face and looked extremely serious when he frowned. It was the dean, Xu Zhengang. The other man was also wearing a military uniform, with dried blood stains on his clothes. He looked at her without blinking.

Zhan Aiping took off her mask and saluted each of them.

The two returned the gift to her, and Dean Xu said, "Comrade Zhan Aiping, you can stay in the military hospital—"

"No, Dean Xu, I've thought it through. I want to be an ordinary doctor in a township hospital." In Xu Zhengang's surprised eyes, Zhan Aiping continued: "After taking off this military uniform, it will be difficult to put it on again. The teacher is right. I should be responsible for my choice."

Zhan Aiping and the man beside her walked out of the dean's office. The hospital corridor was dimly lit, illuminating the snow-white walls. The air was always filled with the smell of disinfectant.

The dense forest in the distance was pitch black, and the trees in the daytime became connected into one, like dancing ghost shadows, rising and falling, connected to the distant mountains farther away, and star lights flashed from time to time on the distant mountains.

The night wind blew on their faces. Zhan Aiping held hands with the person next to her, their fingers interlocked. The bloodstains on their bodies were hidden in the dim light and could not be detected.

Gu Sheng said, "You don't even leave yourself a way out. Do you know what the conditions are in a township hospital?"

Zhan Aiping raised her eyebrows: "It's the same for us."

Gu Sheng sneered: "When you cry and beg Dean Xu to take you in, I will watch and laugh at you."

"You really look like a barefoot doctor." Gu Sheng turned his head and looked at her: "This is the first time I see you wearing a white coat."

In the hospital corridor, Zhan Aiping's white coat was stained by the dim light. She had been sweating, and some hair was stuck to her face. Her nose was straight and her eyes were tired but full of energy.

Zhan Aiping said proudly: "Do I look good in a white coat?"

"Just like your military uniform, it stinks."

Zhan Aiping: "That's what I wanted to say, too."

"It used to smell like mud and sweat, but now I can't even tell what it smells like."

Zhan Aiping: "It can cure your smell."

Gu Sheng smiled and lowered his head to peck her on the lips. Zhan Aiping was about to say something when both of their stomachs made gurgling sounds.

The two looked at each other: "..."

They went to the hospital cafeteria to eat cold rice and cold dishes, including radishes and potatoes. There were some leftovers, and the couple sat on the steps to eat.

Zhan Aiping took a few bites and said, "It's still the skill of the canteen chef."

The food in the hospital is really terrible!

I was planning to have a big meal at home at the beginning.

Gu Sheng said: "It's edible."

Zhan Aiping begged him: "Give me a piece of meat."

"You're trying to snatch food from a tiger's mouth. Fine, I'll give it to you. I love my wife so much."

Zhan Aiping smiled and put a piece of meat into her bowl: "The meat that is taken from your bowl is delicious. I become your wife just to eat a piece of meat from your bowl."

"It's promising."

Zhan Aiping lowered her head and ate the meat: "I'm a loser." In the 1970s and 1980s, who didn't crave meat? She wanted to eat chicken wings and chicken legs.

"You little liar." Gu Sheng finished eating quickly. He thought about what happened today. "Look at your sewing skills. Look at your needlework. You still want me to make clothes for you. What's your intention?"

"Do you know why I'm so good at suturing?"

"how?"

Zhan Aiping snorted coldly, thinking that she was forced to do this by you. Before, someone laughed at her poor sewing skills, so she might as well learn it casually. Since you are so good, you can make clothes.

This damn desire to win!

If Gu Sheng had not joined the army, he would have been an excellent surgeon, but he didn't like reading medical books.

"I dreamed that you broke your leg and I sewed it up for you."

Gu Sheng: "Thank you."

After the couple finished their meal, they took a walk around the hospital to digest the food. Zhan Aiping held a telescope in her hand and asked Gu Sheng to squat down. She sat directly on his shoulders and looked at the stars in the sky through the telescope.

The sky is dotted with beautiful stars, the Milky Way is brilliant, and the moon is hiding quietly on the side. Away from the hustle and bustle of the big city, such a night belongs to nature, and the sky is clean and pure.

Gu Sheng obediently let her ride him, "Are you taking a walk or giving me a walk?"

"Let's go together. I just wanted to ride on your head and bully you. Finally, my wish came true."

"You are still acting arrogantly, Comrade Zhan. Think about the miserable days you will have in the future." Gu Sheng sighed, "I accept separation, but I don't accept divorce."

Zhan Aiping continued to look up at the sky: "Shut up."

"You are stupid, aren't you? You were an outstanding graduate of the Military Medical University, but you were kept in the Military Hospital in Shanghai. You ended up making yourself like this. You don't want to stay in the hospital anymore, you don't want to be a teacher in the school anymore, and you came all the way here to be a field doctor."

"But I have a piece of news for you. Xue Ningjia has gone to the Northwest."

Zhan Aiping was indeed stunned. Xue Ningjia had gone to the Northwest, and she had stayed in the Hucheng Military Hospital to take her place. "Teacher Sun also knows about those things?"

Gu Sheng: "She must have used a lot of tricks on you. Originally, she should have performed the surgery—"

"That was also my tendency to be competitive when I was young." Zhan Aiping continued to pick up the telescope: "It's good this way. I can shine with her on the frontier of our motherland."

"You are still glowing, are you a light bulb above your head?"

Zhan Aiping held the telescope in one hand and patted his face with the other: "Comrade Gu, don't underestimate me. I am very ambitious."

Gu Sheng said with a smile: "What ambitions do you have?"

"I want to be a general's wife." Zhan Aiping said casually, "If you want to be a general's wife, you have to marry a lieutenant first and spend twenty years with him on the border, in the forest, and in the desert."

Gu Sheng: "... You have confidence in me?"

"There's nothing I can do about it. Marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog."

Gu Sheng grabbed her hand and said, "Keep your ambitions high, Comrade Zhan."

"Comrade Gu, keep your ambition. Don't let me become the dean while you are still a small battalion commander."

Gu Sheng's mouth twitched: "You are quite confident in yourself."

He narrowed his eyes and asked, "How did it feel to perform surgery with a scalpel today? Were you tired?"

"It's tiring, but it feels great. The feeling of holding a scalpel is really addictive."

"Then you're done. The township hospital doesn't even have an operating room."

Zhan Aiping is very open-minded: "There will be steamed buns, and there will be bread..."

After the walk, the two stayed in the hospital. The hospital was crowded with people in the corridors and doctors who were always monitoring the conditions of the patients. Zhan Aiping and Gu Sheng, together with other people, found a corner to spend the night together.

Zhan Aiping fell on Gu Sheng and whispered in his ear: "The bed collapsed on the first day, and we had to stay in the hospital on the second day. Do you think we should go and pray to the Buddha?"

"Be good, we are party members, we must defeat all evildoers."

*

After Zhan Aiping and his wife left, Dean Xu, who stayed in the office, made a phone call to Shanghai.

Before he could speak, the person on the other end of the phone spoke: "Why? I'm begging you, please ask her to come to me in person."

Dean Xu: "That's not the case, Old Sun, your student is quite unique. People say you should go to the township hospital honestly."

The person on the other end of the line was silent.

"Young people are stubborn and won't turn back until they hit a wall. Let her try. She will regret it sooner or later."

"She married someone randomly just to get angry, and she even ran away from home. If she were my own daughter, I would have beaten her to death long ago and waited for her to cry and beg me to come back."

Dean Xu: "… Actually, this guy is pretty good. He just slammed the table at me. I think they have real feelings for each other."

"Bullshit, you're blind."

"I've seen the surgeries she performed. I have to say that she is indeed worthy of your constant concern." Dean Xu continued, "I guess she won't stay in the township hospital for more than three months. When she comes to beg me, I will let her stay with me and be my student."

"You're dreaming."

Dean Xu hung up the phone.

He was quite happy in his heart, thinking that maybe he could have another good student.

*

The next morning, Zhan Aiping and Gu Sheng both woke up very early. After a quick wash, Zhan Aiping went to check on the patient again. On the way, she met the male doctor from yesterday. Zhang Jun looked at her with hesitation: "You are amazing."

"Do you know Chinese medicine?"

"Are you the new doctor?"

Zhan Aiping shook her head: "No, I'm a doctor at a nearby township hospital. I came here to help yesterday."

“You—” How could such a great doctor be a doctor in a township hospital

After discovering that the patient was in good condition after the operation, Zhan Aiping was completely relieved. Recalling last night's process, it felt really good. She liked that feeling of concentration.

Before Zhan Aiping was about to leave, she met an acquaintance again. There was no way around it; that was how it was like when you were in military school. After graduation, you were assigned to different parts of the country, and it was easy to run into old classmates and comrades-in-arms everywhere.

Zhu Dongxia was also a female military doctor with short hair. She was very happy to see her: "Zhan Aiping, I didn't expect to see you here. I didn't expect that we could be in the same hospital and become colleagues in the future."

There were very few female military doctors in a class, and Zhan Aiping was the most dazzling one. She was not only good-looking, but also outstanding beyond compare. She was a very strong-willed person and demanded to be the best in everything, including physical fitness and medical performance. Even the male classmates could not catch up with her.

Many people envied her for being able to stay in Shanghai.

As for Zhu Dongxia, she was the last one in the class and went with the flow. Finally, she was assigned to a grassroots company in Yunnan Province. Later, she married a male military doctor in the hospital and was transferred to the military hospital.

Zhu Dongxia considers himself a very lucky person and that he has made every right step.

However, she did not expect to meet Zhan Aiping here. Now, Zhu Dongxia was extremely excited. The one who was the best and the one who was the worst back then, ended up in the same place. They would work together in the future.

What does Zhan Aiping have? She played a good hand of cards badly. Now she wants to enter the hospital, and the director has to make things difficult for her. Zhu Dongxia, the last one, is lucky enough to have a successful love and career, and crushed a beautiful girl like her into the dust.

When Zhu Dongxia thought about this feeling, she felt extremely happy. She secretly gloated over her misfortune. No matter how hard you try, if you have a bad fate, all your efforts will be in vain. This is the end. But she is lucky. She does not need to work hard. She can have a satisfying job and a husband who loves her.

Although Zhan Aiping married Gu Sheng, who was Gu Sheng? Many doctors and nurses in the hospital liked him. He was a good person, good-looking, and had a good family background, but he was not a good person to get along with. How could he be good to his wife? Moreover, he had almost no feelings for Zhan Aiping.

No matter how outstanding Zhan Aiping is, her career and love life are bumpy. She married someone she doesn't like and will be unlucky for the rest of her life.

Now that's great. Zhu Dongxia wanted to see with her own eyes that Zhan Aiping would become a resentful woman in her marriage. The outstanding female student back then, the goddess in the eyes of many male classmates, would fall into the dust.

Zhu Dongxia was looking forward to Zhan Aiping entering the military hospital as soon as possible. They were old classmates and could get together to establish a relationship. Then, she could show off in front of Zhan Aiping that she was lucky and that her husband was good to her, making Zhan Aiping jealous and uncomfortable.

How satisfying it would have been if the most outstanding person back then had been crushed by you and had become a shrew, pouring out his grievances to you.

"Zhu Dongxia, I have no chance to become your colleague. I have taken off my military uniform and retired. Now I am just a soldier's family member. My husband is over there." Zhan Aiping smiled and pointed forward.

"Ah?" Zhu Dongxia was stunned. Zhan Aiping didn't come to the military hospital? If she didn't come to the military hospital, where would she go

At this time, Gu Sheng came over, holding an enamel bowl in his hand. He borrowed it from someone, and it contained a bowl of hot noodles. Gu Sheng handed it to Zhan Aiping: "I cooked noodles for you myself, and added a poached egg. Try it."

Zhan Aiping was puzzled: "Where did you get the noodles?"

"I know a few male doctors, and I borrowed the pot and bowl for noodles from them."

Zhan Aiping picked up the bowl and chopsticks: "You are quite popular." She had to admit that the noodles cooked by Gu Sheng were quite fragrant and very particular. The noodles were long and thin, soaked in the fragrant noodle soup, with a round poached egg, the white part was like clouds, revealing a little goose yellow, and dotted with chopped green onions.

Her man is skillful.

"This is Zhu Dongxia, my old classmate, and this is my husband, Gu Sheng."

Zhan Aiping introduced them to each other.

Zhu Dongxia looked at the two of them in a daze. Of course Zhu Dongxia knew Gu Sheng. Gu Sheng was a person that the female doctors and nurses in the hospital often talked about. Every time he came to the hospital, many female nurses would sneak a peek at him.

Not only is he good-looking, he also has a good family background. It's amazing that Zhan Aiping could marry such a man.

Gu Sheng actually cooked noodles for her himself? How is this possible? How long have they known each other

Zhu Dongxia forced a smile and said, "How long have you two known each other before you got married? My partner and I have been dating for many years. At the beginning, one of us was in the hospital and the other was in the company. We were very happy even if we only saw each other once a week."

As for Zhan Aiping, I heard that she was going to marry another person, but later she suddenly married Gu Sheng. Who knows how they got together? They probably don't have much affection for each other.

Gu Sheng said: "Pingping and I have been childhood sweethearts, and we have been in love for more than 20 years."

"When I joined the army, I always carried her photo with me. You are Pingping's old classmate, and you know what she looked like back then. She was like a tomboy. My comrades couldn't recognize that she was a woman."

"Really?" Zhu Dongxia became more and more confused. Zhan Aiping and Gu Sheng had known each other for so long? Were they childhood sweethearts

"Yes." Gu Sheng smiled: "Now that she has retired from the army, she is willing to marry me."

After having a real relationship with the person he liked and becoming a real couple, Gu Sheng really wanted to talk more about his relationship with others.

Zhu Dongxia was suspicious: "Zhan Aiping, didn't you almost marry someone else?"

Zhan Aiping: "I want to force Gu Sheng to come to Shanghai and marry me."

After all these years, I was actually telling the truth in front of an old classmate.

"We've been in a relationship for over 20 years, and it's impossible for me to marry anyone else."

"I'm going over there to eat noodles. We'll get together and chat when we have a chance." It's never a good idea to eat while chatting with others. Zhan Aiping was hungry and didn't really want to continue chatting with others.

Gu Sheng accompanied her to sit over there and eat noodles.

Zhan Aiping said to him, "You are telling outsiders this now. Aren't you afraid that when your younger sister comes to visit you in the future, where will you put your face?"

"Where is the face? I'm really looking forward to her coming now, so that they will know how blind I have been all these years. I didn't even realize that I like you." Gu Sheng didn't care at all and was even secretly looking forward to it.

Zhan Aiping: “…” After this night, are you ready to throw the jar into chaos

"Then we will act like a loving couple in front of her and let her know how much her brother loves her sister-in-law."

Zhan Aiping: “… I suspect she might not believe it.”

"It's up to her whether she believes it or not." Gu Sheng narrowed his eyes: "Let her know that you two can't be an alliance. Your ally is me. Don't get involved in her brother and sister-in-law's affairs."

"Okay." Zhan Aiping took a bite of the fried egg: "What about your dad? You were talking about him yesterday--" He is dominated by his wife and is afraid of his wife.

Gu Sheng didn't care: "Just tell him, it's my fault for having such a father, so let's follow his example."

Zhan Aiping: "Comrade Gu... you are very suitable for political work. No matter what you say, you are right. You should be a political commissar or an instructor."

There is no Wang who is right, only Gu who is right.

Anyway, he had said everything. He used specious arguments and brainwashed people in many ways. On the surface, he seemed to care a lot about face, but in fact, he was a very shameless person.

"You are obviously the one who is right in our family, Comrade Zhan, enjoy your noodles. When I have time after returning home, I will cook for you too."

Gu Sheng had no interest in cooking before, but when he saw Zhan Aiping could cook two pretty good dishes, he thought he couldn't lose to her.

This is probably due to men's competitive spirit!

He, Gu Sheng, never admits defeat.
