Chapter 543: Departure to the Capital
Gu Yuehuai looked at the back of the person with a glance and called out softly, "Xiaoman?"
As expected, the woman turned around and had two thick black braids hanging in front of her chest. As she was a newly married woman, the ends of the braids were tied with red hairbands. When she saw Gu Yuehuai, her big eyes lit up.
"Yuehuai! You're back. I'm here to bring you something." She walked a few steps towards the two of them, then nodded to Yan Shaoyu a little stiffly, then turned to look at Gu Yuehuai, a smile appearing on her simple face.
"Here." Zhang Xiaoman handed the porcelain bowl in her hand to Gu Yuehuai as if she was presenting a treasure.
She lowered her eyes and saw a large bowl filled with shrimps. The seafood with green shells looked very fresh, with their tentacles and claws stretched out in the bowl. Although they were not big, there were many of them.
Gu Yuehuai raised his eyes to look at Zhang Xiaoman, only to see cautious gratitude and flattery in her eyes.
Her expression relaxed slightly, and she whispered, "What's wrong? Why did you suddenly send me shrimp?"
Zhang Xiaoman coughed lightly, lowered her eyelashes somewhat embarrassedly, and then said sincerely: "Yue Huai, I heard about what happened today. Thank you for saving my man. If it weren't for you, I might have become a widow."
Gu Yuehuai was slightly surprised: "Is your man the comrade who was stung by a jellyfish and poisoned during the sea training today?"
Zhang Xiaoman nodded heavily: "Wang Dachuan, do you still remember?"
Wang Dachuan? Gu Yuehuai recalled carefully and nodded: "I remember, the comrade with thick eyebrows and big eyes."
Among the people who were poisoned today, besides He Lanzhang, the one she remembered most was Wang Dachuan. It was not because he was good-looking or had any special features, but because he wore a pair of red socks.
Zhang Xiaoman's eyes were red, and she whispered, "I went to the infirmary to see him today. I wanted to thank you at that time, but you were too busy. And I thought about the lobster you caught last time and lost it, so I wanted to catch you another one." After that, Zhang Xiaoman grinned a little embarrassedly, "But I don't seem to have that luck, hehe, so I caught you a bowl of small shrimps. Although there is not much meat, it is very nutritious. You can fry it when you go back."
Before Gu Yuehuai could say no, Zhang Xiaoman turned around and ran away: "I have to go back to take care of Dachuan. Remember to fry it and eat it. The bowl is at your house. I'll come and get it next time!"
As she spoke, Zhang Xiaoman's figure had disappeared into the night.
Gu Yuehuai held the heavy shrimps in his hand and curled the corners of his lips. There is true love in the world, as expected.
Yan Shaoyu took the bowl from her hand, and seeing her gentle features, her clear expression also softened slightly: "My Ah Yue has made friends just after joining the army? It took a lot of effort to catch this bowl of shrimp."
After living for so many years, he has some ability to judge people. Zhang Xiaoman is indeed a kind and simple person.
As for Wang Dachuan, although he is not a comrade from the 168th Platoon, he was able to bring his family to join the army after getting married, which shows that he is a capable person. This family is simple and honest, and he is a person worth making friends with.
Gu Yuehuai glanced at him and said with a smile: "Envy?"
Yan Shaoyu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I'm not envious, I'm just praising you. I'm very pleased that you can adapt to military life so quickly. It's a pity that you will leave soon."
Gu Yuehuai heard what he had not finished saying and could not help but roll his eyes. He ignored him and went back.
Yan Shaoyu lowered his eyes to look at the lively shrimps, his handsome brows slightly sank, and he sighed.

The next morning, several soldiers who were poisoned during naval training were discharged from the hospital. Although they were not in good health, they were able to eat and drink, and it seemed that they were no longer in serious condition. It could be said that they did not have any sequelae at all.
For a time, the new military doctor Gu Yuehuai became a rising star and his reputation became even more famous.
In the afternoon, when Gu Yuehuai was busy in the infirmary, Xu Chuangu's task was assigned to him.
Xu Chuangu did not directly ask Gu Yuehuai to go to the capital to treat the Qin authorities, he just said that he was an important figure in the capital.
Gu Yuehuai's abilities are obvious to all. Being able to treat important figures in the capital would be a great achievement if he could really cure them.
It was natural for Xu Chuangu to send people out, and accompanying them were Yan Shaoyu, Meng Hu and other comrades from the 168th Platoon. It was obvious that they were asked to accompany the group and make contributions, and those who knew about it could not help but feel jealous.
These new recruits are so lucky to have so many opportunities at such a young age.
Li Dongdong came here in person and also informed Zhao Benxiang and others.
Gu Yuehuai is now regarded as a "treasure" by other military doctors. Every day, they would think of discussing any illness with him first. But on the second day, he was assigned a mission and left Huaihai City for the capital?
Zhao Benxiang looked dissatisfied, thinking that the backbone of his own medical room was transferred away before they could properly take up their posts.
He pulled Li Dongdong aside and started to talk: "When you go back, please have a good talk with Commander Xu. Transfer her back immediately after the mission is completed. Don't let her stay in Beijing. There are no more human touches there than in our Eighth Military Region."
Li Dongdong's ears were hurt, and he complained bitterly. He hurriedly said to Gu Yuehuai, "Doctor Gu, if there is nothing else, go back and pack up. Leave as soon as possible. It will take several days to get from Huaihai City to the capital."
After saying this, he ran away without waiting for Zhao Benxiang to continue.
Zhao Benxiang was so angry that he blew his beard and glared: "This idiot!"
Gu Yuehuai found it funny, so he informed Zhao Benxiang, packed up some commonly used medicines, carried the medicine box on his back, and pretended to be doing his job conscientiously before leaving the infirmary, ready to go back and wait for Yan Shaoyu.
She didn't have to wait long before Yan Shaoyu returned to the family compound.
He looked at Gu Yuehuai with a gentle look in his eyes: "We won't take the train this time, let's drive directly there."
Gu Yuehuai was slightly surprised: "Driving? That's not a short distance."
Yan Shaoyu nodded, picked up the prepared luggage easily, and walked out with Gu Yuehuai, saying: "Well, the army approved two cars, and Chief Gu is also accompanying us. He is a confidant of the Qin faction."
Gu Yuehuai was even more surprised: "Chief Gu is back?"
Gu Wei has been staying at the front line. When they came back last time, he was still dealing with underground fortifications in Country M. Unexpectedly, he is back now. It seems that the situation of the Qin authorities has become very serious and has reached a point where no time can be lost.
The couple looked at each other, both of them understood what was going on, but they didn't say anything.
When we arrived at the gate of the military district, all the people we were traveling with had already arrived. I won’t say much about Meng Hu. There were seven other people, including a few familiar comrades from Platoon 168 and Gu Wei who was sitting in the passenger seat.
Gu Yuehuai went forward and greeted the people, then turned to look at Gu Wei who was sitting in the passenger seat: "Chief Gu."
Gu Wei, who had closed his eyes to rest, opened his eyes. His usually serious expression eased a little when he saw Gu Yuehuai, and he nodded at her: "Doctor Gu, I'll leave this trip to you."
