When they arrived at the dock, Bonnie and the others delivered the goods to Sihaiju, where Uncle Chen came to pick them up.
"Uncle Chen, this basket is a New Year's gift for you. I won't be coming over before the New Year. Also, could you please give me two or three pounds of mutton and a few bones? I'm going to visit a friend at the hospital. I'll come back to pick up the things before I go back. No rush, I still need to buy some New Year's goods."
Bonnie made her request to Uncle Shen, and then said to Han Weidong and the others, "I'm going to see a friend later. You can go buy whatever you want yourself. Meet up here later and help me carry my things."
"Okay, Bonnie, we won't run around." Lin Hai quickly promised, knowing that if he made another mistake, Bonnie would really beat him up.
Bonnie took the things Uncle Chen handed her and left. She was going to see Sister Yang and brought her some flour, because they had to have dumplings for the New Year.
"Sister Yang, are you busy?" Bonnie pushed open the door to the ward, and Yang Qiaomei was sewing something.
"Oh, my sister's here. I haven't been busy with anything, but Lao Fang's clothes have come undone, so I'm sewing them up right away. It's almost Chinese New Year, and he can't wear clothes with undone seams!" Yang Qiaomei put her things aside, pulled Bao Ni aside, and seemed to have something to say.
"What's wrong? Why are you being so mysterious?" Bonnie looked at Yang Qiaomei with a puzzled expression.
"Girl, let me tell you, not long after you left yesterday, a woman came looking for Commander Gu. I told her that Commander Gu had been discharged from the hospital and gone home, but she didn't believe me. She made a huge scene, saying that we were lying to her, and she made quite a fuss."
Later, two male doctors came and forcibly dragged her away. I don't know what happened. Will this cause you any trouble? Yang Qiaomei knows that nowadays, even the slightest hint of something between a man and a woman can easily lead to trouble.
“It’s nothing. She’s a doctor who went on a mission with Gu Ye and the others before. She’s been trying to repay Gu Ye for saving her. By the way, it’s almost Chinese New Year, so I brought you some mutton, big bones, and some flour. You can rent a stove from the canteen and cook something nice. It’s Chinese New Year after all.” Yu Yin took out one item after another from the basket, making Yang Qiaomei gasp in amazement. There was just too much.
"Girl, you have too much. Old Fang has some grain coupons and other coupons. I plan to buy them tomorrow." Yang Qiaomei didn't know whether she should pack them back or what to do with them.
"Sister Yang, I brought it to you. It's definitely within my means. I'm not trying to save face or suffer for it. Eat it without worry. If you feel embarrassed, bring me some Northeastern specialties next time you come. If you have any good ginseng, get me some too, both old and similar ones. I'll give you the money then, and you can help me exchange some."
Bonnie suddenly thought of this too. There are still quite a few wild ginsengs in Northeast China. She could buy some to keep in case of emergencies. The elderly in the family and soldiers could all use them.
“No problem, I’ll help you find some. My dad has connections and knows his stuff. We also have some leather, do you want some?” Yang Qiaomei wanted to return the favor and do something for Bao Ni as well.
"As for the skin, you can also bring me some pre-peeled ones. The key is whether they're easy to carry?" Bonnie was worried about their travel arrangements, so she thought for a moment and said, "You can bring me the ginseng, and ship the skin over. I'll pay for the shipping myself."
"We'll see how things go. I can handle it." Yang Qiaomei patted her chest, making a loud thud.
After saying goodbye to Yang Qiaomei, Bao Ni went to the office of the director she had visited before. Some things needed to be nipped in the bud.
"Come in."
Bonnie pushed open the door and went in. The male director from last time was a little surprised to see Bonnie. Could it be that Commander Gu's wound had reopened?
"Hello, Director. My husband Gu Ye is doing fine. I came here today to ask about that doctor. Does she have a powerful family background or some special privileges? Why is she so interested in married men? What is she trying to do?"
I now have reason to suspect she's trying to sabotage a military marriage, or that she's an enemy agent. Otherwise, why would someone with such incompetence be allowed to go on missions, nearly killing an excellent soldier, and relentlessly sabotaging the military's secure rear area? Her intentions are despicable!
Bonnie wasn't joking this time. She raised the issue several levels, to the level of espionage. If this wasn't handled properly, her old boss could be finished. The director looked pale and his palms were sweating!
"Comrade Lin, don't worry, it won't happen again. I will communicate with her family, and there won't be a next time." Comrade Lin's cold expression was quite intimidating.
"I hope you can really guarantee it's effective. There might be a second time, but not a third or fourth. If I hear any bad rumors, I'm going to go to headquarters to complain." Bonnie wasn't joking this time. Her husband, Gu Ye, was risking his life on the front lines, and she couldn't let others smear him.
Bonnie turned and left, leaving the director behind her, who also looked furious.
He changed his clothes and walked towards the hospital's staff quarters. He still needed to talk to his former boss to make sure nothing serious happened.
As soon as I reached the door, I heard arguing coming from inside. Although I couldn't hear clearly, I could tell it was Dr. Nan's voice.
He knocked on the door hard, and after a while, the door opened.
"Xiao Hu, what brings you here? Aren't you busy?"
Dean Nan, who opened the door, looked surprised. "What brings you here at this hour?"
When Director Hu entered the house, he saw Dr. Nan standing in the middle of the living room with a resentful look on his face.
"Dad, I really want to marry Commander Gu. Talk to Grandpa and ask him to put some pressure on me to divorce that fisherwoman and then marry me." Dr. Nan's audacious words gave Director Hu a headache.
"Dean, I came here today to talk about Commander Gu. Commander Gu's wife came to see me just now and said a lot. The main point was that Dr. Nan was trying to ruin a military marriage or was a spy who was trying to undermine the stable rear area of the soldiers. She threatened that if there were any rumors, she would report it to the headquarters."
As soon as Director Hu finished speaking, Dr. Nan was furious.
"Who does she think she is? Does she even know which way the headquarters door faces? She suspects I'm a spy. Does she even know what a spy is?"
Director Hu looked at the outspoken Dr. Nan, then at Dean Nan, wondering how he could respond to that.
"Shut up! Don't you have any shame? They're a perfectly good couple. You're the one who ruined their military marriage, and you'll be punished. Gu Ye's wife was selected as the most beautiful military spouse by the headquarters, and she has other merits as well. She's even on the list of the highest-ranking leaders. Who do you think you are, spouting nonsense like that?"
Dean Nan wasn't brainless. He didn't know before, but he thought Gu Ye was a good match for his daughter, so he didn't object too much.
After the accident, he asked his brother in Beijing to inquire about Gu Ye. He learned that Gu Ye was not only married, but his wife was also quite capable. He quickly tried to stop his daughter, but she didn't take his words to heart and caused another farce today.
If Comrade Lin really goes to file a complaint, he himself will not be able to escape responsibility and will also be punished.
