After the car stopped, Wen Qiao was so weak that she couldn't get out of the car at all, if only she hadn't been still somewhat conscious.
Shen Jichuan wanted to take her to the hospital immediately.
The houses in the family compound were clean and tidy, and the things that had been delivered in advance were all placed in the living room.
The house had clearly been specially cleaned and decorated.
Just as they arrived, the wife of a colleague who lived in the same compound and later worked with Shen Jichuan rushed over.
She walked in front, followed by two children, a girl of seven or eight years old, holding the hand of a boy of four or five years old.
"You've finally arrived! I was thinking that with the heavy snow today, you wouldn't be able to come."
"It's very cold in our Northwest, so we have to light a stove inside."
As the woman spoke, she immediately went forward to light the stove.
Seeing this, Wen Qiao quickly said, "No need to trouble you, we'll do it ourselves."
The women comrades rushed forward to check on Wen Qiao and saw that her little face was very red.
The woman looked at her and said in confusion, "Comrade, does this woman have a fever? Look how red her face is."
Just as the woman finished speaking, a man who looked to be about forty-five years old entered through the door.
It was Political Commissar Wang, with whom I worked in the northwestern Sichuan border defense region.
Political Commissar Wang stepped forward to greet Shen Jichuan.
"Deputy Division Commander Shen, my name is Wang Gang, the political commissar of the border defense area. We'll be working together from now on."
Shen Jichuan stepped forward and shook hands, "Shen Jichuan."
"Thank you and sister-in-law for taking care of things at home."
Wang Gang asked with a smile, "How did you know this was my wife?"
Shen Jichuan: "I only asked you for help, and I don't think anyone else will come to my house to help me."
Wang Gang's wife is named Li Qin, the sister-in-law who was very helpful just now.
After exchanging pleasantries, Wang Gang and his wife spoke a few words with Shen Jichuan, and Li Qin said that Wen Qiao probably had a fever.
Shen Jichuan said that Wen Qiao was pregnant and couldn't take any medication casually...
Wang Gang immediately called a doctor from the military hospital to come over. After a while, it was already 8 p.m. when they finished giving Wen Qiao acupuncture.
Knowing that they hadn't eaten, Li Qin brought some flour from home and made two bowls of hot noodles for Wen Qiao and Shen Jichuan.
Looking at Li Qin, who was busy running around, Wen Qiao said softly, "Sister-in-law, please don't bother. You've really gone to so much trouble for us today."
"Don't be so polite, I'm just sitting at home with nothing to do."
"What's your name? You don't look very old to me, about the same age as my eldest daughter."
Li Qin and her husband Wang Gang got married early. Wang Gang was only eighteen when he went to fight in the war, and now he is over forty. Li Qin gave birth to their first child in her early twenties, which is their eldest daughter, Da Niu.
I'm twenty-two this year.
Li Qin looked at Wen Qiao and felt that the girl was too young.
Wen Qiao's face was flushed, whether from her lingering fever or from Li Qin's words, it was hard to tell.
She deliberately exaggerated her age by two years.
"I'm almost twenty, I just look younger."
After listening to Wen Qiao's words, Shen Jichuan took out some snacks from the house, including biscuits and candies they had brought from Beicheng. He packed them into a large bag and said it was for Li Qin to take home for the children.
As soon as Shen Jichuan came out, he overheard Wen Qiao and Li Qin's conversation.
"Sister-in-law, these snacks are for the children, please take them."
As Shen Jichuan spoke, he handed it directly to Li Qin, who quickly declined.
