Chapter 23 Li Xiuhong? Could it be such a coincidence?

"Aunt Liu."

Upon seeing Liu Xiuchun, the smile on her small, delicate face immediately became much more genuine.

Liu Xiuchun looked at her, picked up the basket and walked into the yard, then said in a low voice, "Those rascals went to the mountains and hunted a lot of game. I brought you a bowl of roe deer meat."

Chu Lulu quickly waved her hand and pointed to a basket in the yard, "They brought me a lot of meat."

She can't cook, and all this meat looks delicious, but she can't afford it.

After all, it was a borrowed courtyard, and they were really afraid that when Xiao Jinli returned, he would only see ruins.

"Xiao Huang secretly told me that he even gave me two rabbits."

"They asked me to stew the meat for you. It won't spoil in this weather. I'll put it outside and freeze it into meat jelly. When you want to eat it, just heat it up and the taste won't change."

Aunt Liu didn't hide anything; she secretly pulled Chu Lulu aside and spoke very softly.

When she arrived, there were several onlookers outside, including two gossipy people who believed everything they heard. Who knows what they'd be spreading!

Chu Lulu smiled and did not refuse their kindness.

Both Xiao Jinli and the Independent Battalion treated her very well.

If the independent battalion needs medical treatment in the future, she will definitely be at the forefront.

She took advantage of the kindness shown to her, yet she also knew how to repay it.

"Thank you, Aunt Liu."

Those eyes were smiling, like a pair of crescent moons, making people feel happy just looking at them.

Liu Xiuchun put down the stewed roe and opened the lunchbox next to her. "What are you thanking me for? From now on, you're my daughter."

"Even if those guys don't send me rabbits, I'll still stew meat for you."

"These are two steamed buns. You can eat them first."

"I have to go back to work in the cafeteria. Someone needs to look after the cafeteria. Those kids aren't up to the task yet."

He left the food behind, and didn't take the basket containing the meat with him. Before leaving, he told Chu Lulu, "Just say hello to those gossipy people outside when they come over, don't say anything more to them."

Chu Lulu agreed and saw the person off.

The aroma of meat and white steamed buns filled the air.

Although I wanted to get along well with the head chef in the cafeteria, this is how it happened?

In the afternoon, she washed all the lunchboxes, put them on the table, locked the doors and windows, and prepared to go to the military hospital to see Xiao Xie.

"Girl, are you new to the family compound?"

"Yes, girl, which military unit are you with?"

As soon as I stepped out of the alley, I was surrounded by several aunties. In this cold weather, they were holding sunflower seeds and standing there in the wind, just to hear gossip. They really didn't mind the cold!

Chu Lulu smiled at the aunties and said, "I'm just staying here temporarily, I'll stay over there."

"Aunties, I have something to do, I'll be going now."

She remembered Aunt Liu's words and tried not to say anything if she could avoid it. She walked past the other women and left quickly.

That hurried figure seemed to be being chased by something.

Liu Juan was taking notes when she looked up and saw Chu Lulu. She put her notebook away and walked towards her.

"How are you? I was thinking of coming to see you after get off work."

"You walked all this way?"

Before Chu Lulu could answer, he took out a few pieces of milk candy from his pocket and stuffed them into her hand.

"I bought two packs of milk candy at noon. I'll take one pack back to you later. You can eat a couple if you get hungry later."

"At our hospital, we have to keep sugar on hand, because people are prone to hypoglycemia when they go into the operating room or during an emergency."

Liu Juan spoke very quickly. She came over to arrange the medication and had to rush back in a bit.

Li Xiuhong is acting strangely; who knows what trouble she's up to this time?

"I'm leaving now. Li Xiuhong has been acting crazy these past few days, always causing trouble."

Li Xiuhong?

Wait a minute!

Chu Lulu frowned slightly and pulled Liu Juan, who was turning around, back. "Li Xiuhong? Could it be the Li Xiuhong that Wang Chengjun climbed up the social ladder with?"

"You knew that too? News travels fast."

"It's her!"

"These past two days, you've been provoking her, and she's been acting crazy. I'm speechless."

Liu Juan confirmed it!

Chu Lulu's lips twitched. The world is vast and full of wonders.

So when she came to the hospital, she randomly grabbed someone, and it turned out to be Wang Chengjun's crony?

She really didn't know Li Xiuhong was a doctor!

Although I know the name, I can't match the person to the name.

Unexpectedly...

What a coincidence!

Upon hearing Li Xiuhong's call, Liu Juan turned around and instructed, "Xiao Xie is in ward 301, being seen by Dr. Fu."

"I'll go now."

"Wait for me to get off work. Don't go home by yourself. I'll take you home on my bike."

After quickly giving the instructions, he hurried away.

Chu Lulu could even hear Li Xiuhong's furious voice, and she only had time to shake her head.

"Sister Lu."

When Xiao Xie heard the knocking, she looked up and saw half of Chu Lulu's face peeking out. Her calm face immediately broke into a smile.

Chu Lulu pulled out a chair, sat on the edge of the bed, and took out a notebook and pen. "I've come to check on you."

"I'll ask, and you just answer."

"I'll go see Mr. Fu later to talk about your post-operative recovery."

She came here this time for post-operative rehabilitation.

Everything in this era is outdated compared to what she has learned.

Many things are not yet perfect.

"Sister Lu, ask me anything."

Upon hearing Master Fu's assessment, Xiao Xie knew that the saving of his hand was entirely due to Chu Lulu's intervention.

At the age of eighteen, a seed was planted in my heart.

Seeds full of goodwill.

Do you have a fever?

Chu Lulu first wrote down all the questions, and while asking them, she unwrapped the gauze to check the condition of the wound.

She was certain that she had stitched up the wound herself.

Like a child being called on by the teacher, Xiao Xie answered seriously and honestly, "I don't have a fever."

Chu Lulu changed the dressing and bandaged the wound before making a note in her notebook.

"Based on the anesthetic's duration, the effects should have worn off around 1 or 2 a.m. What did your fingers feel like at that time?"

"It hurts, it feels sore, and it feels swollen."

Chu Lulu asked a few more questions, and the two of them took turns asking and answering.

"I checked the wound, and it's fine. I've also changed the dressing. It didn't hurt as much after half an hour."

"I'm going to talk to Mr. Fu about the follow-up rehabilitation. I'll come see you again after we've discussed it."

Just as Chu Lulu was about to leave, Xiao Xie suddenly called out, "Sister Lulu."

"Thank you."

Chu Lulu turned to look at him, waved her hand, and didn't say anything.

The ward door was closed, and Xiao Xie looked at her hands and smiled.

He wasn't afraid of pain, but he was afraid it would affect his chances of joining the army.

It was Sister Lu who saved him and his dream of joining the army.

"Comrade Chu Lulu!"

"You've finally arrived! Old Master Fu has been waiting for you since early this morning!"

When the deputy saw Chu Lulu, he excitedly grabbed her, as if afraid she would run away.

She asked, puzzled, "What's wrong? Are you trying to make me take responsibility?"

Fu Lao's assistant, somewhat embarrassed, said, "Fu Lao has seen Xie Tiejun's finger sutures and is waiting for you to describe the surgical procedure so that I can determine the next treatment plan."

“If you don’t come soon, Old Fu will go to the military region to arrest you.”

As the deputy spoke, he knocked on the door of Old Master Fu's office.
