Chapter 18 She suddenly felt like she had a direction. He was saying...
Gu Yan, of course, did not immediately agree to Zhao Shuyi's choice of the last courtyard.
After all, the situation of the family next door still needs to be explained.
The two came out of their room and saw the man next door hanging out his clothes to dry.
He was a male military officer, about thirty years old, somewhat thin but very capable.
"Commander Gu, are you bringing your wife to look at houses?"
The man nodded to Zhao Shuyi, his eyes filled with mixed emotions.
Zhao Shuyi naturally couldn't see through his emotions.
Gu Yan immediately introduced, "We haven't filed for marriage registration yet. This is Zhao Shuyi, Shuyi, and this is Commander Tao Yuan."
"Hello, Commander Tao."
Tao Yuan gave her a forced smile, and without asking if they wanted to stay here, he politely said, "You two are busy."
After leaving, Gu Yan began to tell Zhao Shuyi about Tao Yuan's family situation.
It turns out that Tao Yuan's wife, Xia Mulan, was also an officer in the army.
The two were known as twin stars in the military.
However, during a later mission, she was injured and her legs were crippled, leaving her unable to stand again and with severe scars all over her body.
"Company Commander Xia used to be an excellent soldier, and many men couldn't compare to her. But after that incident, her personality changed drastically. She would often get angry or cry at home, and even many of her orderly left because of her scolding. So many people didn't want to live next to them."
So that's how it happened.
After hearing this, Zhao Shuyi felt a tightness in her chest, unable to describe the feeling.
She also understood that people these days are still somewhat superstitious, and anyone who hears crying all day long at home would probably feel it's bad luck.
Moreover, that corner is close to the mountain, and it's especially quiet at night. If the other person were to cry at night, it could be quite frightening.
“You can consider it,” Gu Yan said with some regret. “Company Commander Xia’s matter has somewhat affected Regiment Commander Tao. If nothing unexpected happens, he may have to leave the military soon.”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Shuyi frowned.
Everyone can see why Tao Yuan wants to change careers.
"Is Commander Tao a very capable officer?"
"Yes, he is not only very capable in commanding combat, but also a master at training soldiers. Moreover, he is an expert in weapons research."
"It's such a waste that he changed careers like this."
Gu Yan sighed again, "Yes, everyone feels it's a pity, but there has to be a choice. If it were me, I probably would have made the same choice as him."
Zhao Shuyi looked at him in surprise, and suddenly felt a tingling sensation on her back.
It's not that she doesn't believe in the existence of such genuine feelings, but the thought of such a good thing happening to her always makes her a little skeptical.
Is he just saying nice things?
Zhao Shuyi had a gut feeling that it wasn't true.
She fell silent.
The other person didn't say anything more, as if they had just said it casually.
The two quickly arrived at the entrance of the family compound.
Zhao Shuyi made up her mind and stopped. "Gu Yan, let's choose the last courtyard. Let me take care of Company Commander Xia."
Her spiritual spring water might be able to help, and she also trusted Gu Yan's judgment in judging people.
According to Gu Yan, the military is still looking for someone to help take care of the other party in order to relieve Commander Tao's worries.
The other person is a glorious soldier who defends the country; she can't sleep if she stands idly by and does nothing to help.
"What did you say?" Gu Yan wondered if he had misheard.
Zhao Shuyi said firmly, "Didn't you ask me if I wanted to work? I can take care of Company Commander Xia. I also think it's a pity to let an outstanding soldier like Regiment Commander Tao retire directly like this. Let me give it a try."
Gu Yan really couldn't understand Zhao Shuyi anymore.
When he saw Zhao Shuyi again this time, he found that she had really changed a lot.
He didn't know which version of her he saw was the real her.
But no matter which one, she probably can't bear such a responsibility.
"I can't agree to that. Taking care of an injured patient isn't that simple."
Zhao Shuyi looks delicate and frail; she probably isn't used to having no one to take care of her, let alone take care of others.
"Of course I know it won't be easy, but how will I know if I don't try? What if I can actually take good care of Company Commander Xia?"
Zhao Shuyi, of course, did not have any masochistic tendencies.
But she was very clear about her identity.
It was thanks to the self-sacrifice of these people that we have a peaceful life in later generations.
Caring for a disabled patient, especially one with a bad temper, might disrupt her plans.
However, she didn't intend to continue taking care of him indefinitely. She would end the treatment after using the spiritual spring water, so that Commander Tao would have no worries.
But Gu Yan disagreed.
"Don't be childish. You're just a young girl. Do you think you know how to take care of people better than a soldier in charge?"
Zhao Shuyi knew what kind of image she had in his heart, so she could only try to persuade him.
"Then tell me what kind of people can apply to take care of Company Commander Xia. We can put our wedding on hold for now. I'll settle my work first, and then we'll get married."
“You have many job opportunities.” Gu Yan didn’t know why she was suddenly so stubborn; he would never agree to it under any circumstances.
The relationship between the two was already on the verge of collapse. How could Zhao Shuyi, unaware of the situation, make things worse?
"Don't you believe me?" Zhao Shuyi asked.
Gu Yan did not deny it, "It is indeed a very difficult thing."
He felt that even if he didn't say anything, Zhao Shuyi should understand.
But his reason was rather tactful: "You have no experience in this area. Do you know how to take care of a patient?"
Zhao Shuyi was fuming. Although she knew the other person was responsible and didn't take on responsibilities easily, she was still angry.
"Although I have no experience in taking care of patients, I am a woman. I know how to resolve conflicts between husband and wife, and I know why a woman would shut out her beloved husband."
“My grandfather once said that without soldiers, there would be no happy life for ordinary people like us. I wholeheartedly agree, so I hope I can do my part for them.”
Gu Yan looked at her incredibly determined eyes and remained silent for a long while before finally giving in.
"OK."
"I still have..."
Zhao Shuyi's eyes lit up. "You agree!"
Gu Yan pursed his lips and said, "I agree to talk to Commander Tao for you, but he might not agree. Even if he does, Company Commander Xia might not agree."
“Take me to talk to Commander Tao. He will definitely agree. My grandfather left me a prescription for scar removal. Maybe it can treat Company Commander Xia’s injury.”
Gu Yan: "Perhaps what Company Commander Xia cares about is not those scars."
As a soldier, one is always prepared to bleed and sacrifice oneself. Who doesn't have a few scars on their body?
"I know, but why not try to make her look better? Are there really people in this world who like ugly people?"
Zhao Shuyi wasn't stupid; she naturally knew what the other person's inner conflict was.
But if you can be beautiful, who would want to be ugly?
Moreover, we don't know how badly the other person is injured. What if the spiritual spring water can help them stand up again?
Seeing Commander Tao's somewhat dejected appearance, Zhao Shuyi suddenly felt as if she had found a direction.
One of the reasons she came here was because of Gu Yan's leg.
If she had gotten people to accept her medical skills sooner, things might have been less complicated.
Perhaps... she can help even more soldiers.
Gu Yan seemed convinced and didn't argue further. Instead, he nodded and said, "I'll talk to him about it later. So, are you sure you want to stay in the last courtyard?"
Zhao Shuyi hesitated for a moment.
Agreeing means agreeing to marry the other person.
She had made the decision from the beginning, but at this crucial moment, she felt a little nervous.
Thinking about Gu Yan's style of doing things along the way, she nodded.
"yes."
No one is perfect, but he is actually a pretty good man in many ways.
Since the two of them had already discussed the terms, there was no need to say anything more.
Gu Yan nodded, feeling that Zhao Shuyi seemed genuinely interested in helping Tao Tuan and his wife.
For some reason, he found himself starting to feel a sense of anticipation.
"Okay, I'll go back and get the marriage application done. I might have some things to take care of tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, let's go together and see how to repair the yard and what furniture we need to make?"
Zhao Shuyi thought it was good and continued to nod.
"Then you should take a good rest tomorrow. Would you like me to have someone take you out for a walk?"
"No need, I'll just rest at the guesthouse. I'll have plenty of time later."
She needs to make some plans and doesn't want to be watched all the time.
Gu Yan did not refuse, "Should I bring you breakfast? We might have gotten up quite early."
"No need, just tell me where the state-run restaurant is, I can go there myself."
Gu Yan pointed her in the right direction and gave her a few large bills and tickets. "Take these things. I'll give them back to you later."
Treat her like a child.
Zhao Shuyi didn't refuse. How can a man not spend some money when you're dating?
We can't afford to raise another Gao Zhiyun.
However, Gu Yan was quite generous.
As it was getting dark, and it wasn't good for unmarried men and women to be out alone, Gu Yan took her directly back to the guesthouse.
"If you need anything, just have the guesthouse call."
Zhao Shuyi smiled and waved, agreeing.
And so, she settled her life's most important matter.
Zhao Shuyi felt a little melancholy.
That's all.
Since we're here, let's make the best of it.
Back in her room, Zhao Shuyi tidied up a bit, and then, as usual, went into her personal space to do her own things.
Because of her shallow family ties in her previous life, Zhao Shuyi always enjoyed her private space.
No matter what she's doing, even something as simple as going downstairs to buy soy sauce, she can turn a ten-minute walk into a twenty-minute one.
It's because I want to be alone.
Whether she's immersing herself in something or thinking while doing something, she feels comfortable as long as no one bothers her.
The situation is the same now. Because the tools are not very handy, Zhao Shuyi is not very fast at building a chicken coop. She knows that her plan to build a wooden house will probably not be realized too soon either.
I'll give myself ten years. As long as I can build a decent house within ten years, that's enough.
Putting everything else aside, she'll be able to retire in her own mobile space from now on. Who else gets that kind of treatment?
After being busy for a while, she didn't want to be busy anymore and continued to lie down.
Once she's settled in, she'll need to find time to go out and shop, and buy some things she hadn't considered before.
I slept without any dreams.
The next day, Zhao Shuyi didn't get up early, but she didn't really intend to stay home as she had said the day before.
The weather here is so nice, and the scenery is so beautiful. Wouldn't it be a waste for her to stay indoors all the time?
The scenery inside is beautiful, but it's not the same as the scenery outside.
The space is a very peaceful and tranquil place that can calm people down.
But the outside world is different; there are storms, thunder, lightning, and human relationships.
She didn't want to have too much contact with people, but she also knew that humans are social animals and always need to communicate with others.
Ultimately, she simply doesn't want to have excessive social interaction with others, and she doesn't want others to pay attention to her life.
She also longed for peaceful and warm neighborly and family relationships, but she knew it was difficult, so she turned it away from the beginning.
Zhao Shuyi felt that a heroine like Company Commander Xia wouldn't be a chatterbox, and she might be more patient with people who contribute to society.
Zhao Shuyi finally got up after lying in bed until she was starving.
Before she could even finish tidying up, there was a knock on the door.
Who is it?
There was no response from outside the door. Zhao Shuyi thought it probably wasn't a bad person, so she opened the door to take a look. But she didn't expect to find such an unexpected person.
The little girl I saw last night.
"elder sister."
