A short while later, Liang Shurui came over with a stern face and knocked on her door: "He Zhiqing, why did you come back alone? You left Chen Zhiqing alone in the hospital. She said she was in so much pain last night that she fainted. It was only the nurses who found her and gave her some medicine to help her recover."
He Wan leaned against her own door frame, crossed her arms, and gave an "oh," standing there as if it were none of her business, like she was listening to gossip.
Seeing that she didn't explain, Liang Shurui became even angrier: "We're all from the same educated youth settlement, shouldn't we help each other out? It's fine if you quarrel all the time, but when something happens, you should help each other out if you can. If you don't care about your companions like this, no one will help you when something happens in the future."
"oh."
"you..."
“I’m listening, Liang Zhiqing, please continue.”
Liang Shurui felt like he had punched cotton; he hadn't managed to teach He Wan a lesson and was furious. He turned and left with a cold face.
He Wan gave a soft snort, turned around and closed the door.
He's not qualified to lecture her.
When Zhou Ting'an saw her return, he asked worriedly, "Are you alright?"
"It's nothing. He was completely fooled by a female comrade from our educated youth settlement. He was so stupid, he thought she was a treasure. Sigh, it's bad luck for a man to meet a woman like that. I can already imagine how he'll struggle to make ends meet for the rest of his life."
After He Wan finished speaking, she thought about the plot of the book. Chen Qing and Liang Shurui... well, they seem quite happy. It's a case of one willing to give and the other willing to receive, tsk.
As Zhou Ting'an listened to her gossip, the pain in his wound lessened, and he laughed, "Why didn't you remind him?"
"Some people are doing this all the time, and it's no use reminding them... Aren't you cold? I'll go heat up the kang again."
After He Wan finished speaking, she went to the kitchen to add fuel to the fire.
Zhou Ting'an felt somewhat apologetic and said, "When I recover, I'll go up the mountain and get you some more firewood."
He Wan waved her hand dismissively: "No need, no need. I go up the mountain every day and bring back a bundle of firewood each day. I can save up a lot in a year."
"Aren't you a sent-down youth? Don't you have to work?"
"My job is to gather pig feed and help the clinic dig up medicinal herbs on the mountain. My daily work involves going up the mountain."
How long have you been working in the countryside?
"In terms of years, it's been two years already."
Zhou Ting'an frowned and asked, "You look very young, why did you go to the countryside?"
He Wan took out a handful of melon seeds from the cabinet and smiled, "You want to know?"
Zhou Ting'an remained silent; it was a personal matter for him to inquire further.
He Wan didn't try to hide anything. The two of them couldn't just stare at each other in the house, could they? So she talked about how she got to where she is now, from the time her parents passed away, on the train, and at the educated youth settlement.
Zhou Ting'an was amazed that she could be so optimistic at such a young age despite encountering so many challenges, and he admired her greatly.
He was an orphan, and in a way, he wasn't much better off than He Wan.
Before joining the army, he often faced discrimination.
Hearing He Wan say that, the loneliness in his heart welled up again.
Even Zhou Ting'an, who is usually aloof and doesn't talk much about family matters, talked to her a lot.
We chatted for so long that it was noon before we knew it.
Normally, hibernating animals only eat two meals a day during the winter, with the second meal around 3 or 4 pm.
Considering that Zhou Ting'an needed an IV drip in the afternoon, He Wan made him salted egg soup for lunch.
It's rather bland, mostly soup.
However, drinking too much soup can make you need to urinate, and Zhou Ting'an needs to go to the toilet right now.
He Wan brought him a small bucket from outside and said, "You can take care of it inside. I'll go out first."
She left without waiting for Zhou Ting'an's reply, only to come back in a while later to find the bucket spotless: "You..."
Zhou Ting'an blushed and said, "I can go to the toilet by myself."
It's snowing outside.
Zhou Ting'an remained silent, enduring the pain as she moved her body to get out of bed.
Seeing that he insisted, He Wan had no choice but to go along with him and helped him out the door.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, I went to the space.
