After seeing Lin Yi off, Ningxia went outside to rent a wheelchair and helped Le Zheng sit on it.
He was recuperating, not in jail, and he stayed in this small room every day. He didn't say anything, and Ningxia felt bad about it.
Sangsang stayed obediently on Le Zhengtang's uninjured leg. Her weight was really insignificant to Le Zheng.
The medical center is not that big, but after walking around, I met several groups of people.
"Hey, don't you say that this family of three are all good-looking."
"That little kid is so skinny, so pitiful."
"This woman always has a cold face. I've seen her go in and out several times. This man is really pitiful. You can tell he's been bullied a lot."
Ningxia pretended not to hear and pushed Le Zheng slowly forward.
The man in the wheelchair was breathing heavily. He hesitated for a moment before finding a topic to talk about: "Ningxia...what are your plans for the future?"
"Me? I haven't thought about the future. Right now, the most important thing is to take care of Sangsang and Lin Yi's health."
"How old are you this year?"
"twenty three."
Le Zhengtang clenched his fist, pressed it to his lips, and coughed softly: "Still young... but not young anymore... Haven't you considered your own affairs? For example..."
Having said that, Le Zhengtang raised his head and met Ningxia's clear and calm eyes, which were so clear and calm that not a ripple appeared in his eyes.
For some reason, Le Zhengtang suddenly felt that what he said next would not have a good result, "For example... for example, how will you survive in the future... after all, you have two children to raise..." He swallowed the words he wanted to ask without leaving a trace, frustration in his eyes.
Ningxia frowned, "I never thought about it. Just digging for a year's food is enough to keep me busy. As for making a living, I'll take it easy in the future. As long as I don't starve to death, that's fine."
Le Zhengtang forced a smile, reached out to stroke the curly hair of the sleeping Sangsang, and said nothing more.
As Sangsang's fourth day of intravenous drip was coming to an end, Le Zhengtang's small ward welcomed a large number of guests.
"Squad leader?"
"Uncle Li Gang! Uncle Liao!"
"Uncle Pee! Uncle Pee! Brother Xiaojie!"
Seeing Sangsang jumping around and about to tear out the IV drip, Xiaojie quickly stepped forward and hugged her in his arms, "Stop jumping. If the needle falls out, you'll need another injection."
"Don't be afraid, I'm very brave!"
"You look good!" Lei Lao Hu poked Le Zhengtang's waist and winked, earning a wry smile from the other party.
Lei Lao Hu understood, and he said that this damn boy must be a loser. Ningxia was obviously not an easy girl to pursue, and he still had a long way to go!
Li Gang touched Sangsang's head and looked at Lin Yi again, "You've lost weight."
After three months, Ningxia couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she saw these familiar faces again.
"How is Sangsang?" Old Liao asked as he wanted to reach out and take him from Xiaojie's arms.
Sangsang grinned and dodged away.
Ningxia watched them playfully, a smile forming in her eyes: "After today's IV drip is finished, we can go home. The doctor said that we just need to take good care of ourselves."
"That's good."
Although Lao Liao failed to snatch Sangsang away, he still managed to make his rough stubble roll on the other person's face several times.
"Uncle Pee is so annoying! So annoying!!" Sangsang muttered angrily with a frown on his face.
Old Liao laughed heartily and turned to Ningxia, "Don't bother cooking today. It's a rare opportunity for us to get together at the trading post. Brother Liao is treating us. Let's go to the restaurant and eat!"
Ningxia didn't bother to be polite with him. She had been running back and forth to take care of two patients for several days. She couldn't handle cooking for these big eaters.
While waiting for the last drop of liquid in Sangsang's IV drip to enter his body, a group of people headed towards the stop.
There was no military affairs. Except for Lei Lao Hu and Lao Chen, the group of people were all in casual clothes. From a distance, they looked like a group of bandits who had just come down the mountain.
"When are you planning on taking the kids back?" Li Gang chewed the food intermittently. The food tasted just average, only slightly better than what you'd find in the military camp. Only that fool, Old Liao, enjoyed it.
Ningxia thought for a moment. She still had some points on her account, and she hadn't traded in any household items. Plus, Sangsang was just in time. "Two days later?"
"Okay! Then we'll set out from the military camp to pick you up on the third morning!"
"Are you okay patrolling the mountains so early?" Ningxia was worried that their trip would delay Li Gang's work.
Lao Liao swallowed the last bite of his meal and waved his hand carelessly: "What's the big deal? I have to go anyway. I just need to apply a few days in advance and it's done."
Li Gang also nodded.
Ningxia was relieved when she saw this, "How do we deal with Le Zheng?"
When Ningxia mentioned him, Le Zheng put away the sadness in his eyes and quickly replied: "I can't go back for the time being! I have to go back to the camp to recuperate my legs. I can only go back after my leg injury is healed." It will take more than a month, and Le Zheng was full of melancholy.
Lei Lao Hu grinned and teased mercilessly: "You have been clamoring to go back to the camp every day, now is your chance, go back and have a good rest."
"Brother Lei, do you want to join us?"
Lei Lao Hu shook his head. "Pingzi is the only one at the sentry post. He's been told to go back early! I'll have to leave after dinner. Lao Chen and I will be here to temporarily fill in for Le Zheng. The four of them will take you back."
Li Gang also nodded. "We came out this time to, first, take Le Zheng back to the camp, and second, to see how Sang Sang is doing. As long as you're okay, we'll come pick you up when the time comes."
Ningxia nodded. It was a blessing for the three siblings to meet this group of people.
"It's better for Lei Lao Hu to leave early. He eats more than a pig. If he really follows us, won't Ning Xia be exhausted?"
Ningxia was so amused by his serious joke that her eyes were curved with laughter.
Lei Lao Hu glanced at him indifferently, "How dare you say that to me with your fat face? Even if I'm a pig, I'm just a small fragrant pig. Do you think I'm like you, a free-range pig that would rush to shove a mouthful of hot shit into its mouth?"
Among the people present, Lei Lao Hu and Lao Liao were the oldest. They also had the same military rank and had no scruples when it came to joking.
Everyone at the table was laughing happily, except Le Zheng who was in love.
"Okay, what's there to give? Take them and get the things ready, and we'll come to pick you up when the time comes." After dinner, Li Gang stopped Ningxia who wanted to send him off, and waved his hand to let him go back.
Lei Lao Hu and Lao Chen patted their round bellies and said, "Brothers, we're leaving now. We have to hurry. Gangzi, I'll ask you to take Le Zheng back to the camp."
Old Chen also joked, "Sergeant, remember to come and redeem me. I don't want to stay at the sentry post with Tiger Daping. I'm still thinking about the food in Ningxia!"
"What? Have you been wronged? You are not allowed to leave until Le Zheng comes back!" Lei Lao Hu scolded with a smile.
Ningxia smiled and continued, "Don't worry, Old Chen and Brother Lei, I'll definitely come to the sentry post to find you when I get back. I'll make everyone a good meal!"
A group of people cheered very politely, attracting the attention of passers-by.
Xiaojie put Sangsang back on the ground and patted her head, "Sangbao, wait for Brother Xiaojie to pick you up."
Sangsang smiled and nodded, then walked forward and rubbed the other person's leg with her head obediently.
Lin Yi glanced at the two of them with disdain.
