Chapter 099 Optimism

The unexpected encounter made Gu Qia unexpectedly reveal what was on his mind that he had been thinking about, hesitating for a long time, hesitating for a long time, and was worried about for a long time.

This made Gu Qia feel relieved and felt at ease that he was finally free.

And Lin Siwei didn't make a fuss at all. To be honest, Gu Qia made Gu Huai and Gu Lan afraid of crying. He knew that his future was uncertain, and he was also afraid of hearing the cries of his relatives again. That's why I never dared to let my elders know.

Not only are they afraid that their elders will not be able to bear it, but they are also afraid that they themselves will not be able to bear it.

It was better to be like this now, simply face the reality, and Lin Siwei's reaction was beyond his expectation.

The two talked for a while in the corridor. Lin Siwei didn't ask much about his condition. He only said that his grandma would be discharged from the hospital and return to Jinling in about a week. He also said that he had decided to stay at the school to teach after graduation. This time he came with work obligations. provincial capital.

Gu Qia heard that she actually chose to stay in school, and he was happy for her.

He remembered the first time he saw Lin Siwei in Fish Bone Alley last fall. She was such a dark and skinny little girl, her clothes were tightly wrapped around her body, and her big smart eyes were alert and sharp.

Today's Lin Siwei seems to be completely transformed. She has grown taller and plumper, and her eyes are still as clever as ever, but they are a little more radiant, and her look of radiance makes people unable to take their eyes away.

The little girl has grown up.

…

One person when going out, two people on the way back.

"Auntie, I'm going to the fourth floor." Gu Qia said.

"I know."

"She's also on the fourth floor."

"Huh?"

The elevator aunt looked at Lin Siwei.

This girl has never taken an elevator, but her aunt knows her and is a family member of the Orthopedics Department on the third floor. There are two kinds of people in this building who cannot escape Auntie's sight, one is the strange person, and the other is the good-looking person.

"Are you going to the fourth floor too?" Auntie repeated.

Lin Siwei smiled obediently: "Yes, thank you, auntie."

You must be obedient. Auntie is the elevator driver and can decide whether you are qualified to take the elevator.

Okay, now Auntie is sure that these two people must be eye-catching. The girl's hands are resting on the wheelchair, so she doesn't look out of place at all.

"Ahem." The aunt raised her eyebrows: "Sure enough, all things depend on the moon for growth. Comrade Gu's moon exposure is effective."

Moon exposure? Lin Siwei looked at Gu Qia curiously.

Gu Qia laughed twice: "The moonlight is very good, you don't get tanned, and it makes you energetic."

The elevator aunt's eyes fell on the pants in Gu Qia's hand, and she smiled meaningfully: "Haha, young man."

Gu Qia's face turned red.

Lin Siwei pretended not to understand.

Lao Jianghu never understands everything. Lao Jianghu knows when to understand and when to understand.

When getting out of the elevator, Lin Siwei pushed the wheelchair naturally. The aunt's body leaned along the elevator door that was gradually closing, watching them until the elevator doors were all closed, "cutting off" the aunt's sight.

"Auntie has been staring at you. She probably has a son at home." Gu Qia was a little sour.

"Auntie has been staring at us. I dare say that tomorrow the entire third and fourth floors will know that we know each other."

Gu Qia narrowed his eyes and actually enjoyed it: "Probably, they all thought that we knew each other here. "

The story that happened in the hospital is even more interesting.

"Here we are, this is the ward."

Lin Siwei was happy when he saw it: "It turns out that we are only one floor apart. My grandma's ward is downstairs."

Gu Qia couldn't stop smiling. Fate, this is fate.

That night, Gu Qia slept particularly well. Thank you for the night breeze, thank you for the big pants, and thank you...forget it, just thank fate.

...

As expected, when the nurse came over early the next morning to take Hu Qiaoyue's temperature, her eyes looked wrong.

In three minutes, he said ten words to Hu Qiaoyue and glanced at Lin Siwei next to him fifteen times.

Lin Siwei pretended not to notice anyway: "How is your temperature?"

"The temperature is normal, no fever."

"Are you going to have to wait for water today?"

"The doctor will prescribe saline after checking the indicators at work. Normally, you still need to have water."

After the little nurse finished answering, she still didn't leave.

Lin Siwei smiled and said: "I'm not going out today. I'll take care of grandma here. Please excuse me."

Hu Qiaoyue didn't know what was going on and hurriedly said: "Siwei, you came out with a work assignment. You don't have to take care of me. What kind of work should you do?" Just go."

"Grandma, I will make arrangements. I will stay here with you today. I won't go anywhere."

The little nurse pursed her lips and finally couldn't help it: "Comrade Lin, you know the battle upstairs. A hero?"

Lin Siwei felt that there was no need to avoid this matter, and nodded openly: "He is my neighbor. I didn't expect to meet him here."

"Neighbor?" The little nurse suddenly became lively, and the sour expression disappeared. He asked happily, "Does that mean you grew up together?"

"I guess you know the basics." Lin Siwei said ambiguously.

She didn't lie anyway, but she didn't want to make it too clear.

When the little nurse heard this, her face was full of envy: "Has he had a special sense of justice and a hero since he was a child?"

Lin Siwei smiled secretly in his heart. It can be seen that the young nurses in the hospital really admire heroes, and their admiration for handsome heroes is several times greater.

"It's not bad, I'm quite popular with the elders."

Another ambiguous answer.

Hu Qiaoyue was confused, thinking that Lin Siwei had met an old neighbor from Daming Village, and asked: "Who did you meet? From Daming Village?"

"From Fish Bone Lane."

From Fish Bone Lane, a fighting hero. Hu Qiaoyue's heart moved, and some information that passed by her ears gathered together.

She also likes to read newspapers and listen to the radio. There is a newsstand on Yangchuan Road. Sometimes when she passes by while shopping for groceries, she will take a break at the newsstand and read the newspaper.

She remembered that Gu Mingde's grandson was a famous fighting hero. Could it be that the child that Siwei girl is thinking about?

Hu Qiaoyue nodded slightly: "Oh, what a coincidence. Why are you hospitalized? Are you sick?"

Before Lin Siwei could answer, the nurse was already actively popularizing science: "They were sent by the army. He was shot during a mission and almost lost his life. It was our director who rescued him. I heard that Comrade Gu was known as a hard-working man who had made many achievements. "

Sure enough, his surname is Gu.

Hu Qiaoyue already understood in her heart and praised: "The children of the Gu family are really good men."

But then she thought, isn't it right? Got shot? rescue? She quickly looked at Lin Siwei, and sure enough, Lin Siwei had a slightly worried look on his face.

Hey, this girl is worried.

Just because Lin Siwei didn't ask more about Gu Qia himself didn't mean that she didn't want to know about Gu Qia's condition. Since the little nurse has said so much now, it would be better to simply ask him frankly.

Following what grandma said, Lin Siwei said: "Yes, I heard that he was on a mission before, but I didn't expect it to be such a dangerous mission. Uncle Gu's family must be worried."

Then he turned around and asked the nurse: "By the way, how is his condition? "Are you optimistic?"

The little nurse suddenly looked worried: "Of course, I don't know much about it. After all, I am not from the fourth floor ward, but I did ask and heard from the people upstairs that he was injured. It's hard to say. It's not impossible to recover, but it can't be said that it will definitely happen. Anyway, whether you can walk in the future depends on yourself and God's will."

Lin Siwei said seriously: "As long as he has a little bit of will. I hope he will work very hard to recover."

The little nurse nodded desperately: "Yes, that's what they said upstairs, saying that he doesn't even need people from the army to take care of him, that he doesn't need anyone to take care of him, he has to rely on himself. Stand up with the strength. By the way, Comrade Gu's brothers and sisters were all here a few days ago, and now they are gone, and Comrade Gu is the only one left."

Although the little nurse spoke in a messy way, the picture already appeared in Lin Siwei's mind. .

She could imagine that a strong person like Gu Qia must have tried every possible means. And recovery is very difficult, and he definitely doesn't want to tell others about it.

I felt sad in my heart, and my eyes finally looked a little lonely.

She hid her loneliness very well and never showed it to Gu Qia.

Lin Siwei blinked and tried to cheer up. When he took a deep breath and raised his eyes, he met Hu Qiaoyue's gaze.

Hu Qiaoyue looked at her tenderly, with silent comfort in her eyes.

She felt like she was being seen through by her grandma.

After the nurse left, Hu Qiaoyue smiled and said, "I want to take a walk in the room."

Lin Siwei stepped forward, carefully helped Hu Qiaoyue to the bedside, and put on her shoes for her. Hu Qiaoyue raised her crutches and stood firmly.

"Is grandma recovering well?"

"Yes. The director said the operation was very successful, and grandma, you are also diligent in exercising."

Hu Qiaoyue was already proficient in using a crutch, walked to the window, and then walked back to the bed: "Look, I can even walk on my own.”

The doctor said that based on Hu Qiaoyue’s recovery, she will be able to walk on a single crutch in another week, and in another half a month, she will be able to completely wean herself off the crutch and practice recovery on her own.

"Grandma is great! Come on, Grandma!" Lin Siwei applauded her.

Hu Qiaoyue turned around and looked at Lin Siwei: "Grandma's fine, I'll just hang out in the morning. I don't need you to hang around in front of me, annoying."

"Huh?" Lin Siwei was startled, feeling that grandma was like this The words came suddenly.

"Go upstairs and take a look at the Gu boy. He has no one to take care of him."

Lin Siwei suddenly understood what grandma meant and his face turned red: "No, I agreed to accompany grandma today. I won't go anywhere."

Hu Qiaoyue said with a smile: "Look, you don't have to go far, just go upstairs. Come down and stay with me later. Go quickly, don't cause trouble in my eyes."

What a considerate grandma. Lin Siwei really wanted to go.

"Then... let me go up and take a look? Did I really go?"

Hu Qiaoyue almost waved her crutches: "Go, go. Hey, wait..." She called Lin Siwei back again, "You buy it for me. Bring two apples. He lives here alone, so he must not have any fruit to eat."

Lin Siwei opened the bedside table, took out two apples, and ran out quickly.

Hu Qiaoyue giggled: "This girl can run faster than a rabbit."

As she said that, she set up her crutches again and said to herself: "I also have to be very tenacious. I have to recover quickly. My brother is coming back. "
