Chapter 34 Ma Qijun's Little Thoughts
Ma Qijun saw that she was slow to respond:
"Anyway, you will be in charge of the future. I have to go to the city tomorrow. If, I mean if, I can't come back that night, you have to do me a favor."
Help? So it is help.
Ye Xiaomei thought that he had regarded her as his woman so early, and her heart skipped a beat.
"Brother Ma, what are you talking about?"
Ma Qijun placed the passbook on the corner of the bed where the two of them were keeping a distance from each other with satisfaction:
"Tomorrow is the day my pension will be distributed. Take this passbook to the Armed Forces Department and ask a man named Li Chengquan to stamp it. Then you can go to the savings bank to withdraw the money."
"Oh." Ye Xiaomei didn't think much about it and leaned over to take the passbook: "Then after you stamp it, you can come back and withdraw it."
Ma Qijun nodded slightly. Is this girl so rigid?
He shook his head decisively: "No, every three months, you can only take it out on the first day of the month. There is a rule. If you don't take it out, you have to wait until three months later."
"Is that so?" Ye Xiaomei had never been out of the mountains, so she took these rules as the truth:
"Then give it to Auntie after you get it back, right?"
"..." Ma Qijun seemed to be thinking on different channels from Ye Xiaomei: "Okay, but you can use it if you need it urgently, after all..."
Ma Qijun looked at that little face, and his heart skipped a beat: "After all... I still have to leave it to you in the future."
Ma Qijun looked helpless. In fact, he just wanted his future woman to take control of the financial power in advance. This was what his woman should do, instead of catching loaches everywhere for a little money.
"I... I don't have anything urgent to use. Okay, I'll go there early tomorrow morning." Ye Xiaomei decisively put away the passbook. This passbook was different from ordinary ones. Although it was red, it had military seals inside and a badge on the surface.
During lunch, Ye Xiaomei's bowl was always full. Just after she finished eating the eel, Wang Lan gave her another big bowl of stewed loach with tofu, and the remaining half was fried.
Ye Xiaomei was worried in her heart. She couldn't bear to use so much oil to fry food. She would definitely be scolded by her grandmother. So she would feel embarrassed to eat more.
"If you like it, take it with you. Let your sister try it when she gets home from school in the evening." Ma Qijun saw through it at a glance.
Ye Xiaomei blushed, but Auntie Wang was quicker and put the bowl into the bag and handed it to Xiaomei:
"Here, by the way, wait for Xiaomei."
He turned around and grabbed a handful of candy from the house and stuffed it into Xiaomei's pocket:
"Xiao Mei, these are the kinds of candies I selected for you and Qi Jun's wedding. Go back and try them. I'll prepare whichever one you like. If they're all good, I'll prepare all of them."
This passionate treat left Ye Xiaomei at a loss as to what to do. She had never been treated so affectionately before.
"Auntie, this is too much. I'll just take one piece of candy."
Ye Xiaomei just thought that these candies were too expensive. At her age, it was good enough for her to be able to eat a few pieces of Golden Monkey milk candies during the Chinese New Year.
Look at this bag full of either Golden Monkey or toffee, as well as White Rabbit and crystal candy. It is really a luxury to use this kind of candy for a banquet.
"Okay, okay, take them all and share them at home. We can all try them and see which one tastes the best."
This time, Wang Lan began to push Ye Xiaomei away, fearing that she would return the candy to her.
Heizi was ready long ago.
Ma Qijun did not go with Ye Xiaomei when she returned home. He wanted to take some time to talk to his mother about going to the city tomorrow. After all, he didn't know how many days it would take for him to come back.
Heizi, who was driving, seemed a little strange today, and Ye Xiaomei noticed it: "Brother Heizi, what's wrong with you?"
"No sister-in-law!" Heizi smiled foolishly at the mirror twice, but soon the corners of his mouth drooped again. Just as he walked from the east to the west of the village, Ye Xiaomei noticed that he rubbed his eyes several times.
"Brother Heizi, you must be hiding something."
Unexpectedly, Heizi seemed to have been holding it in for a long time. He braked and Ye Xiaomei almost hit the back of the front passenger seat.
Then Heizi leaned on the steering wheel and shrugged his shoulders.
"Sister-in-law, you don't know that the boss might have his limb amputated this time. You don't know how powerful the boss used to be. Don't think he is silent all day, he is actually suffering. He didn't sleep all night last night, and his eyes were red when he woke up in the morning."
"Ah?" Ye Xiaomei's heart sank. How could this happen? Normally he seemed like nothing had happened.
The important thing is, if it is intercepted, there will be no way to recover.
Ye Xiaomei really couldn't imagine that behind Ma Qijun's sturdy body, there was such a fragile side.
"But if he doesn't have his legs amputated, they will slowly atrophy, and he might not even be able to get out of bed in the future." Heizi wiped his tears in a mess.
Ye Xiaomei's head buzzed: "No, his leg is getting better."
Heizi is actually not very old, only twenty years old, and he follows Ma Qijun around like a monkey, jumping up and down. Unexpectedly, he is so devoted to Ma Qijun.
"What are you talking about, sister-in-law? The county hospital has already evaluated him, and there is no improvement as you said."
Ye Xiaomei was very sure: "When it rains, people with injured joints usually feel leg pain, right?"
Heizi sniffed and said, "That's right. My mother has arthritis. It really hurts when it's cloudy or rainy."
"Then your boss didn't feel any pain during the rain these times. You didn't see it yesterday. Although he kicked someone with his left foot, if his right leg didn't have any support, then the force of his left leg wouldn't be that great. In other words, if his right leg had no strength, then when he kicked someone, wouldn't the wheelchair have tipped over?"
Yes, Ye Xiaomei remembered that he had broken the leg of the stool under Zhang Changjiang's butt with one kick.
In other words, Ma Qijun's legs were actually getting better, otherwise he would have been completely dependent on a wheelchair and would have collapsed.
Heizi looked confused. Who asked him not to be there yesterday? He looked bewildered at what his sister-in-law said.
Ye Xiaomei's eyes suddenly lit up: "Heizi, take me to the county, I'll go get medicine for your boss."
"..." Heizi was stunned, with tears still streaming down his face, he muttered, "Sister-in-law, can you heal illnesses? Is that true?"
Ye Xiaomei lowered her head suddenly. She didn't know. Anyway, she felt that she had learned a lot from reading so many books:
"Let's give it a try anyway."
Heizi didn't dare to think too much. As long as it was good for the boss, he was willing to obey orders unconditionally.
The car quickly turned around and left Meihuazhuang.
For no other reason, he was actually a stowaway who was rescued by Ma Qijun during a breakout in the border war. Because he had no home to return to, Ma Qijun made up the excuse that he was short of drivers and kept him.
It took two years of teaching him Mandarin before he could get along well with others.
Later, Heizi at least ate in the military canteen, drove the boss's car, and went wherever he was told to go. It was better than wandering around.
Ye Xiaomei was silent. All the pocket money she had was twenty yuan, and the remaining pennies added up to twenty-two yuan.
There are two medicines that are relatively expensive and do not grow in the north.
Sure enough, when Ye Xiaomei arrived at the only traditional Chinese medicine clinic in the county, she was stumped.
With her twenty-two yuan, she could only buy a set of acupuncture needles, and she would not have a penny left for medicine.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?" Heizi saw that she looked worried.
"I don't have enough money, how about..." Ye Xiaomei quickly pulled Heizi aside. Saving people is like putting out a fire and she can't care about so many things. She took out her passbook:
"Heizi, you are all soldiers. Can you ask the Armed Forces for a favor and get your money stamped in advance?"
Heizi looked at the familiar iconic passbook and recognized it at a glance. Usually, when Ma Qijun needed money, Heizi would take out the allowance on his behalf. However, he was confused by what his sister-in-law said: "In advance?"
"Ah, in advance. Originally, I could only get the stamp and withdraw the money tomorrow. Can you ask for it now so I can withdraw it?" Ye Xiaomei looked at Heizi's expression eagerly.
Heizi scratched his head and said, "This... can be stamped at any time. Only the medical expenses are reimbursed by the hospital in a lump sum for three months."
“……” Ye Xiaomei was stunned on the spot.
