Chapter 82 Cry for Help

As the regimental commander, Xie Jingchen could only marry someone if he received approval from the military.

So he drove back to the army early the next morning to personally submit his marriage report to the division leaders and urge them to sign and stamp it as soon as possible.

He really couldn't wait a moment longer.

He wanted to marry Xia Fanxing as soon as possible.

Xie Jingchen promised that he would definitely return within three days.

Because the agricultural company's affairs still needed to be finished, Xia Fanxing wasn't in a hurry. She would wait for Xie Jingchen to return before they went back to the regimental headquarters together.

Life is visibly getting better, and the children are growing up day by day.

Xia Fanxing stroked her slightly protruding belly and couldn't help but reveal a happy smile.

Although the living conditions in the company were quite harsh, Zhang Renmin knew about Xia Fanxing's medical skills, so he just let her stay there with good food and drink and didn't have to do anything.

Xia Fanxing didn't deliberately look for things to do. When told to rest, she would rest properly. If she saw any employee with minor illnesses or pains while out for a walk, she would treat them on the spot.

After dinner, Xia Fanxing and Su Xiuxiu took a walk and chatted together.

Su Xiuxiu affectionately linked arms with her, feeling both happy and sad. "Sister Fanxing, once the irrigation canal at the regimental headquarters is repaired, we'll have to go back to our company for good. You'll be at the regimental headquarters then, and we'll be so far away, it'll be so hard to even see each other."

Xia Fanxing patted Su Xiuxiu's head and comforted her, "Don't think about things that are so far in the future. Besides, even if it really comes to that, I'll still have time to rest and take a break. I'll find a way to come see you and bring you all sorts of delicious food and fun things."

Su Xiuxiu shook her head, "No, sister. You work so hard during the week, you should rest well during your rare holiday. I just can't bear to see you go all this way, it would break my heart."

Hearing Su Xiuxiu's words, Xia Fanxing felt a bittersweet feeling welling up inside her.

This feeling of being cared for, missed, missed, and loved truly moves her.

Xia Fanxing appeared to be reaching into her cotton-padded coat pocket, but she was actually taking out a few chocolates from her spatial storage.

“Give me your hand,” she said.

"Huh?" Although Su Xiuxiu didn't know what was going on, she still obediently stretched out her little hand.

Xia Fanxing placed a few small, hard, and beautifully packaged round chocolates in her palm.

"This is..." Su Xiuxiu didn't recognize it at first, but suddenly exclaimed with great surprise.

"Oh my god! Is this chocolate?!" She covered her mouth in shock, unable to believe it.

"Shh." Xia Fanxing put her finger to her lips and instructed, "Keep your voice down, it's not good if others find out. You can eat it all yourself, or you can share it with others. But you must be careful, you can only share it with people you trust, after all, this kind of thing is not common."

Countless fragments of surprise burst forth in Su Xiuxiu's eyes. Even though it was already dark, the moonlight shone in her eyes, making it seem as if thousands of stars were shining within them.

She quickly stuffed the chocolates into her pocket and whispered to Xia Fanxing, "I know, sister. I'll share them with Brother Da Niu and the others. They definitely won't tell."

Su Xiuxiu smiled, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons. "Thank you, sister, you're the best."

After walking for a while longer, the two felt that it was about time and prepared to go back to sleep and rest.

But just then, Xia Fanxing suddenly heard a shrill scream.

She immediately stopped in her tracks.

"What's wrong?" Su Xiuxiu asked curiously.

She was just an ordinary person; unlike Xia Fanxing, who had extraordinary senses, she couldn't hear sounds coming from that far away.

Xia Fanxing frowned slightly and looked into the distance. "It sounds like someone is calling for help."

"A call for help?" Su Xiuxiu realized the seriousness of the situation and quickly listened attentively.

But after listening for a long time, she didn't hear anyone calling for help; she couldn't hear a single sound.

However, Su Xiuxiu had an unquestioning trust in Xia Fanxing, so she didn't ask Xia Fanxing if she had misheard.

She said, "Sister, can you tell where the sound is coming from? Shall we go and take a look?"

Xia Fanxing meant the same thing.

So she listened to the sound as she slowly walked toward its source.

Before long, they arrived at the family compound of the company's employees.

Even now that they've come this far, Su Xiuxiu can still faintly hear wails.

She frowned and analyzed, "Single employees live in the dormitory, and only married employees with children can be assigned to the family compound. Could it be that someone has aborted their child?"

Xia Fanxing remained silent, simply leading the way.

When she stood in front of a courtyard, Su Xiuxiu could hear miserable, painful wails coming from inside without her saying anything.

She tried hard to recall, and finally clapped her hands and exclaimed, "This seems to be... Zhu Laosi's house!"

Zhu Laosi's family?

According to Zhu Laosi, he had always been single.

Now that he has moved into the family compound, it means that the company has already acknowledged that he and Qiao Feitian are husband and wife.

The woman wailing inside... that's Qiao Feitian!

After figuring this out, Su Xiuxiu pulled Xia Fanxing away, saying, "Sister, don't worry about her. Zhu Laosi is a very honest man. For him to take action, Qiao Feitian must have done something wrong again. We shouldn't meddle in other people's family matters."

Xia Fanxing did not leave with Su Xiuxiu.

She gently pulled her hand away from Su Xiuxiu's and stood still, saying, "Xiuxiu, you should go back and rest first."

That's very clear.

Xia Fanxing not only wanted to stay, but also didn't want Su Xiuxiu to stay.

"Alright then, Sister Fanxing, remember to go back and rest early too." Su Xiuxiu left very sensibly.

Xia Fanxing did not go directly into the house.

She found a relatively clean spot, looked around to make sure no one was there, took out a small black soft cushion from her storage space, placed it on the ground, and then sat down.

She also took out a hot water bottle and put it in her arms, pulled her scarf up, pulled her hat down, and put on gloves, so that her whole body was warm.

It was already late, and everyone had gone home to rest. There were no streetlights here, so no one could see her equipment clearly.

Moreover, even if someone comes, she can detect it in time and put away the cushions and other items before they get close.

So Xia Fanxing waited at the door for an hour.

Over the course of that hour, Qiao Feitian's wails gradually subsided until only faint cries of pain remained. Had Xia Fanxing not possessed extraordinary hearing, she would have been completely unable to hear such a sound.

The door suddenly opened, and Zhu Laosi, his face flushed, walked out.

As he walked, he put his belt on.

After he finished dressing, he freed his hands to open the courtyard gate.

As soon as he came out, he saw Xia Fanxing standing at the door.

In that instant, Xia Fanxing clearly saw the fierce look on Zhu Laosi's face suddenly disappear, and he returned to his usual honest and kind appearance.

"Nurse Xia, what brings you here?" Zhu Laosi's voice remained as honest and harmless as ever.
