Chapter 365 Going to the Hospital to See a Patient

Hu Meili was writing a letter, and Lin Xiangnan was also writing, right next to her.

Hu Meili wrote: Go back to my hometown, where I have a house...

Lin Xiangnan wrote: Stay in Guangzhou, buy a house by yourself, or wait for the company to allocate housing...

Halfway through writing, Hu Meili looked up and gritted her teeth and said, "Are you here just to provoke me?"

"You're still blaming me. You're still giving blind orders." Lin Xiangnan retorted.

"I'm too lazy to argue. You wrote to me, don't peek at my letter." Hu Meili covered the letter defensively. Lin Xiangnan read one sentence and refuted it accurately. Doesn't she have any face?

Judging from Hu Meili's life experience over most of her life, a job is likely to be something you do for a lifetime without many twists and turns.

If the company she stayed in Guangzhou offered a better salary, Hu Meili would naturally have no objection.

But the treatment is almost the same, why not go back home? If you are alone outside with no one to help you, your life will be very lonely.

If Lin Xiangxi works in his hometown, in two years, Dabao and Xiaobao will go to school, Lin Xiangxi will get married and have children, and Hu Meili will also plan to return to her hometown, one to take care of her in her old age, and the other to help take care of the young ones.

Compared to what Lin Xiangnan said, that staying in a big coastal city would help one better seize the opportunities of the times, which is something illusory, Hu Meili's plan is more practical and feasible.

Lin Xiangxi lived in the shadow of his older brothers and sisters, and he knew very early on that his academic level was not enough for him to achieve great things.

After receiving the two letters, Lin Xiangxi thought about it over and over again for several days. In the end, he chose Hu Meili's suggestion and planned to build a relationship with the teacher and ask the teacher to arrange a unit for him in his hometown.

As for not going to work after graduating from university, that is impossible. Even now, those who are unemployed and wandering around the streets are still the object of everyone's scorn.

Lin Xiangxi had no intention of quitting his respectable job to start a small business of reselling goods. Even if this business could make money, it could only be done as a part-time job.

He doesn't dare to gamble on future policies.

"Have you seen your little brother's reply? He said he was ready to go home." Hu Meili stuffed the letter in front of Lin Xiangnan's eyes, "Take a look and see if what I said makes more sense. It's so nice for the family to be together and reunited."

"oh."

Lin Xiangnan had a calm expression and did not give Hu Meili any sense of accomplishment.

"You just say 'oh' and that's it?" Hu Meili felt a little aggrieved.

"Well, what else?" Lin Xiangnan said indifferently, "The changes in the next ten years will be greater than those in the past few decades. Even if I go back to my hometown, it will only be temporary. Who can predict the future?"

She put Lin Xiangxi's reply aside and picked up another letter sent from Factory 132.

As expected, it was written by Chief Engineer Zhang. The whole letter recalled the warm memories of the struggle in the factory. The general theme was: "Everyone misses you and is waiting for you to graduate. After graduation, you must take the initiative to apply to come back! The welfare benefits of the factory will not let you down even if it means letting anyone down..."

Lin Xiangnan watched and complained, "Sun Yi is a snitch. Is it because I don't want to go back? It's the school that won't let me go."

When Lin Xiangnan saw the first half of the letter, his smile relaxed. But when he saw the second half, his expression stiffened involuntarily.

Hu Meili noticed that her expression was not right, so she asked carefully, "What's wrong? What happened at the factory?"

"It's not about the factory. Aunt Hua came to Beijing. Political Commissar Xu is in the hospital, and she and Chen Xiulan are taking care of the patient."

When the two families lived in the staff quarters, they had a very good relationship.

Although Hu Meili and Aunt Hua couldn't play together, she knew that Lin Xiangnan and Aunt Hua had a special relationship. They both loved buying those fancy little gadgets.

Lin Xiangnan also prepared a bunch of beautiful bracelets. When he was ready to meet Aunt Hua, he put them all on his arms, then lifted his sleeves and used the jewels to give Aunt Hua a little shock.

Now, forget about the bracelets, Lin Xiangnan could only start preparing chicken soup and prepare to take it to the hospital to see the patient.

"Why did you end up in the Beijing city for hospitalization? What's wrong with you?" Hu Meili asked curiously.

"I don't know about that. The factory and the army are not in the same system, and they like to hide little secrets from each other. Chief Engineer Zhang doesn't know the details either, but he vaguely heard from Director Jin that Political Commissar Xu is seriously ill."

Lin Xiangnan listed the serious illnesses in his mind, and the first one that came to his mind was cancer.

Thinking of this possibility, Lin Xiangnan also put on a mask of pain on his face.

"Mom, please buy me some chicken to make chicken soup first. I still have to go to the lab and give Ding Yougui and the others some instructions before I leave."

Now that she knew about it, there was no reason for Lin Xiangnan not to go and see it. She had also been in Beijing for a few years and could help out if anything happened.

Arriving at the laboratory, Lin Xiangnan smelled a sweet smell in the air. Lin Xiangnan immediately reminded, "In principle, eating is not allowed in the laboratory."

After she finished speaking, the junior sister stuffed two candies into her hands.

Lin Xiangnan put the candy in his pocket and said to Ding Yougui, "I have already reserved the equipment. It will take two hours. You can take people to do it in the afternoon. I have to go out for something."

"Okay. You go and do your job, and leave this to me." Ding Yougui said without raising his head.

If only his fellow junior fellow students were there, Lin Xiangnan would not feel at ease, but with Ding Yougui and Wei Dongliang around, Lin Xiangnan left without any hesitation.

After returning home with the cooked chicken soup, Lin Xiangnan went straight to the hospital.

Following the room number reported by the nurse's desk, Lin Xiangnan saw Political Commissar Xu lying on the hospital bed, his head, left arm, and chest were all wrapped in thick gauze. His injuries were very serious.

Lin Xiangnan was stunned at this moment. She was born in a peaceful era and had never come into contact with military and police personnel before. After marrying Gu Zhenhua, there were only minor frictions at the border, and Gu Zhenhua had never been to the battlefield.

In her impression, 99.9% of the time a person was hospitalized, it was because of illness, not because of injuries on the battlefield. Now that someone close to her was really carried down from the battlefield with serious injuries, Lin Xiangnan was having trouble accepting it.

Because she unconsciously thought of Gu Zhenhua.

"Is it Xiaolin? Come in and sit down." Aunt Hua was not in a very good mood and looked very tired. She took the chicken soup from Lin Xiangnan's hand and pulled a stool for her.

After talking for a long time, seeing that Lin Xiangnan was standing at the door without any movement, Aunt Hua couldn't help but repeat, "Come in and sit down."

Lin Xiangnan's legs were a little stiff at this time. He slowly moved into the room and asked in a trembling voice, "Did you just come down from the battlefield?"

"Yes." Aunt Hua explained, "He was hit by a bullet in the chest. The injury was quite serious. The medical conditions there were not good, so he was transferred to the capital."
