When he woke up again the next day, Gu Xingdong had already gone out for morning exercises. Chen Lishu had made breakfast before going to wake Ruirui up.
"Mom has to go to the city today. It's too cold outside to take you out. How about I take you to Aunt Wang's house to play with Brother Yanchao and the others?"
Ruirui nodded obediently: "I still have treasures to give to them."
Soon Chen Lishu dressed Ruirui and sent him there and agreed to pick her up in the afternoon before setting off to the city.
According to the address given by Zou Liang, we went all the way to the provincial newspaper office. Zou Liang was already waiting there early.
The interview went smoothly. Chen Lishu wrote the lyrics silently to Zou Liang, and then answered a few questions that could be answered. The interview was over.
"Thank you so much this time. There is a restaurant across from our newspaper office. Let me invite you to have a meal there to express my gratitude." Zou Liang accepted the interview manuscript in his hand and invited.
Chen Lishu smiled and refused: "I still have something to do, let's do it next time."
Zou Liang had no choice but to give up. After thanking her again, he walked her all the way to the door of the unit and turned around after seeing her leave.
"That girl is so beautiful and has a good temperament. She is still a college student. Liang'er, don't you want to develop further?"
Zou Liang smiled bitterly: "I think it's a pity that the famous lady already has an owner."
…
After Chen Lishu came out of the newspaper office, she took the car directly to Wang Aixiang's house.
Wang Aixiang was making clothes at home, and her eyes lit up when she saw her coming over: "When did the girl come back?"
Chen Lishu smiled and sat down by the kang: "Yesterday."
Wang Aixiang got up and went to pour her water: "Drink some hot water to warm yourself up."
Chen Lishu took it and held it in her hand to warm it for a while, then talked about the year-end benefits.
"Hey, it just so happened that my kid was clamoring for new clothes. You said you felt sleepy and hit the pillow. It's two meters long. I didn't even have to buy it outside." Wang Aixiang was very happy.
"Where can I find such a good job? I heard from Aunt Zhang in our hospital that the factory's performance is not good this year. They just gave each person a pound of pork and that's it."
What they had was two meters of cloth and ten yuan. Wang Aixiang's mother-in-law was so happy that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear after hearing what Chen Lishu said.
After Chen Lishu looked at the account book again, she left Wang Aixiang's house.
As the New Year was approaching, in addition to shops, there were many small vendors on the streets. Chen Lishu saw some selling frozen pears and frozen persimmons, and bought two kilograms of each to feed her children.
When I got home, I picked out half of it and sent it to Wang's house, and took Ruirui home on the way.
"Brother and sister, you are too polite. The two children are grown up, so there is no need to spoil them." Zhao Guiying felt very embarrassed when he saw her bringing things over.
"I saw it on the way back and bought it on the way." Chen Lishu smiled and put the things on the table before asking Ruirui to go home.
Because she hadn't eaten these two things for a long time, Chen Lishu was also a little greedy. When she put them in water to defrost, in addition to Rui Rui's portion, she put an extra portion for herself to eat.
The persimmons were very sweet, and the frozen pears had a lot of water in them. Both of them were still a bit unsatisfied with what they ate. However, due to the cold weather, they didn’t eat any more, and Chen Lishu put the rest outside to freeze.
Unexpectedly, even though she had noticed, Chen Lishu still felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach in the afternoon.
She thought it was an ordinary stomach upset, but Chen Lishu didn't take it seriously. She drank some hot water and thought it would be fine soon. However, by the time she finished cooking dinner, her stomach was getting more and more painful.
It was already evening when Gu Xingdong came back. When he opened the door, he found that only the light in the living room was on and the whole room was very quiet.
Ruirui raised her head and saw him coming in. She quickly ran to him, raised her head, raised her index finger to her mouth and made a shushing gesture: "Shh, mommy is sick and sleeping. Don't disturb her."
When he heard that Chen Lishu was ill, Gu Xingdong closed the door and ran into the bedroom without even having time to change his shoes.
He reached out and pulled the light cord. As the light came on, Gu Xingdong saw a bulge on the bed. Chen Lishu was curled up inside, with the quilt covering her mouth. Her pale little face was sunk into the pillow, her brows furrowed tightly.
Gu Xingdong reached over and touched his forehead, and found that she didn't have a fever. He reached out and pushed her gently twice: "Lishu, wake up, what's wrong with you?"
"Mom said she had a stomachache." Ruirui stood by the bed, looking at Chen Lishu with eyes full of worry.
Chen Lishu was woken up by Gu Xingdong and regained some consciousness. She suddenly felt as if a meat grinder was placed in her stomach. She couldn't help but moan softly in pain: "Xingdong, my stomach hurts."
"Don't be afraid, if you hold on a little longer, I'll take you to the hospital."
The army also has an infirmary, but they are all good at dealing with trauma. Chen Lishu said she had a stomachache, but Gu Xingdong did not dare to delay. He told Ruirui and turned around to go back to the team to borrow a car.
Soon after Gu Xingdong drove back, the noise alarmed Wang Jianshe and his wife. When they opened the door and asked, they found out that Chen Lishu was sick.
“I don’t know when I’ll be back when I go to the hospital, so let’s leave the child in our room first.”
"Thanks."
Gu Xingdong thanked her and watched Ruirui being picked up. He went to the bedside to help Chen Lishu put on her clothes and wrap her scarf and hat before bending down and carrying her directly to the car.
Gu Xingdong's driving skills were good. Although the speed reached the limit, the car remained stable. Within half an hour, the car parked downstairs of the military hospital.
After closing the door and getting out of the car, I went to the passenger seat and was about to take the person out, but Chen Lishu refused.
"I'm much better, just hold me a little bit." But I just have a stomach ache. He really hugged me and it made me feel like I had a serious illness. If word got out, I wouldn't be laughed at.
"What are you holding me for? Let's see how you look on your face and you can still show off." Gu Xingdong didn't give her a chance to refuse at all. He stretched out his long arms and lifted the person out of the seat, then raised his foot and closed the car door.
…
Jiang Yuning was on duty today. After completing the routine inspection of the ward, he raised his hand and saw that the time was already past seven in the evening. He walked to the nurse's desk and prepared to give some instructions. Suddenly he saw a familiar figure flashing past the stairs with an expression on his face.
He changed slightly, and before he finished speaking, he hurriedly chased the figure upstairs.
There were not many doctors on duty at night. After briefly asking about the situation, the doctor downstairs asked Gu Xingdong to take people to the internal medicine department on the third floor.
Because the doctor wanted to check and it was not convenient for outsiders to go in, Gu Xingdong had to wait for news at the door.
"Xingdong?" Looking at the tall and straight figure in front of him, Jiang Yuning called out with some uncertainty.
Gu Xingdong turned around and saw that it was her. He was not too surprised and nodded politely: "Doctor Jiang."
Jiang Yuning looked at the person without leaving any trace, and found that he had changed a lot from when he first met.
His eyebrows and eyes are still handsome, but his temperament has changed a lot.
If it was a sharp sword back then, then now it is a sword in a scabbard, gathering its edge, but making it even more difficult to look away.
"I've long heard that you were transferred here, but I never had the chance to meet you."
Gu Xingdong nodded: "Training is quite busy."
Jiang Yuning saw that he still cherished words like gold, and asked with a smile: "Just now I saw you carrying a girl in, is it your sister?"
