Now that she was here, Qiu Yuling was not in a hurry to go back. Minor injuries have different levels of severity, not to mention that Qiu Dahe was clinging to her like a dumpling. She would feel uneasy if she just went back like this.
"Sister Xiaotao, I'm going to the pharmacy to get some medicine. I've seen an old recipe for treating barbecue burns, and I've figured it out. Please help my second brother apply it when you get back."
"What medicinal herbs do you want? Just give me a list and I'll get them. I'm familiar with them and can help them easily." Wang Xiaotao is more motivated than anyone else to find a husband who is not difficult for her to deal with.
"That's fine. Wait a moment. I'll write it down. Some herbs are hard to come by. If you can't find them, I'll spend a little more money. If they're not enough, I have some here..."
"Money is not a problem, you don't have to worry about it. Just write it down and I will prepare it for you." Since she was there, there was no reason to ask her sister-in-law to get involved.
The speed at which Qiu Dahe was transferred from the emergency room to the intensive care unit and then to the general ward was as fast as the speed at which he was promoted in recent years.
As soon as they moved to the general ward, the soldiers under their command came to visit them in groups of three or five.
"Yuling!"
When Qiu Yuling heard the voice, she was puzzled. She turned around but didn't see anything different. Everyone coming and going in this place had the same skin.
"Yuling, I'm Wu Tiejun!"
Wu Tiejun? I remember him. He was a bit chubby when he was little, but I didn't expect him to become so handsome when he grew up.
"Hello, are you here to see my second brother? Then hurry up, it will be break time soon."
Qiu Yuling had no intention of making small talk. It would be fine with just any ordinary person, but for someone like this who had clearly shown affection for her, and now that she was a married woman, there was really no need to cause trouble.
She had asked for gauze from the nurse's station. Now she had it in her hand, smiled and nodded, and left in the opposite direction of her second brother's ward.
"Hey, Tiejun, follow me, what are you looking at?" Xiaohu waved his hand in front of him twice, then raised his eyes and saw the side face of the man as he was about to turn at the end of the corridor.
"What are you looking at? Are you looking at a grown-up girl? You're hiding it so well. The political commissar has proposed marriage to you many times, but why don't you give in? Your standards are so high!
Is that lesbian new here? Why haven’t I seen her before? I’ll go ask…”
Wu Tiejun grabbed Xiaohu, who was about to go to the nurse's station to ask, and said, "That's Qiu Yuling."
"Who are you talking about? Qiu Yuling? My dear mother, why didn't you call her? Oh, yes, the commander is her brother. She is here to take care of the commander, right?
How many years has it been? I wonder if she still recognizes us? No, let's find Xiao Tao and arrange a party at the little restaurant in front, so that everyone can get together..."
When Wang Xiaohu heard that it was Qiu Yuling, he became interested. Others might not know, but he knew everything in his mind. He could hide Wu Tiejun's little thoughts from others, but not from him.
Several of his former playmates in the family compound have all gotten married, and some have even started working as soy sauce vendors. Only he has devoted himself to the world of guns and cannons.
At this age, he knows that as long as Qiu Yuling is fine, she will definitely get married, but it’s okay, because he wants his good brother to see the truth!
After visiting the patient, Wang Xiaohu found his teacher's lover, "Xiao Tao."
"Call me by my title or call me Commander's sister-in-law!" Wang Xiaotao didn't even raise her eyelids.
"Hey, I told you you're fat, and you're still catching up with us. Okay, okay, Minister Wang, please come on! Yuling's here too. We used to fish in the same ditch when we were kids, but we haven't seen each other for ages. I'll pay for everyone to sit down and have a meal. Could you please be so kind as to bring her along?"
"Let's talk about it later. Yuling has a lot of things to do. Even though she is here, the phone keeps ringing. I have to ask her first." After hearing the purpose of the visit, Wang Xiaotao did not refuse, but she would not make the decision for Yuling on her own.
"That's fine, but we have to hurry. It will be our Second Battalion's turn soon. We'll be going through mountains of swords and seas of fire. We won't see each other that often..."
Wang Xiaotao remained silent. Although she knew he was joking, she also knew in her heart that the battlefield was like a fire, where water and fire were merciless, and no one could guarantee that they would be absolutely lucky.
"It's okay. If Yuling is not free, it's the same for us to get together." Wang Xiaohu compromised again. The main reason was that they all went their separate ways, and the chances to get together were few and far between.
"Okay, then tonight. I'll tell the orderly on shift to meet you at the place you mentioned." Thinking of this, Wang Xiaotao readily agreed.
To be honest, Qiu Dahe always thought that Wu Tiejun was thinking about his wife and never thought it would be his sister.
When he heard Wang Xiaotao's announcement that a few of his childhood friends were going to get together, he wished he could tear off the bandages on his body and join them.
But no one agreed to let him do so, so he could only look at Qiu Yuling for help, "Yuling, why don't you accompany your second sister-in-law there? It's just that you two know each other." Expectant, pleading, and pitiful eyes were cast at Qiu Yuling.
She gave a helpless laugh and agreed. She didn't expect that her brother would have a love-minded day. With her second sister-in-law's overwhelming strength, they were all like little ghosts seeing the King of Hell. Only he thought there would be love.
The aunt and sister-in-law showed up at the agreed place on time. They were all dressed in army green, but Qiu Yuling stood out from the crowd with her high-necked black sweater and black wool coat!
"Yuling is really here? Look at me, do you still remember me?" Wang Xiaohu was instigating the game, so he was naturally more excited than others.
"Brother Xiaohu!" On the way, she had already asked clearly who they were, so as to be prepared and do some homework.
"Hey, you have good eyesight. You can recognize me! Look at this one. Can you recognize him?" He pulled Wu Tiejun over and asked her to look.
"Brother Tiejun!" Qiu Yuling's attitude was no different.
Wang Xiaohu then called over a few childhood friends and asked Qiu Yuling to identify them one by one.
After that, he sighed, "You can recognize us brothers at a glance, but we can't recognize you. You should be punished, you should be punished!"
As he said this, he called on everyone to drink a glass as a punishment, and then he picked up the glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Qiu Yuling also responded by taking a sip, putting down the cup, and taking the initiative to ask about everyone's situation.
Wang Xiaohu took the lead and talked about his wife and children at home, and his elder brother who was not present today. He also made fun of Wu Tiejun, who was still alone at his age.
"Hahaha, isn't it funny? Everyone is trying to guess what kind of hidden illness he has." He has always been good at exposing his buddies' shortcomings to liven up the atmosphere.
"By the way, Yuling, what about you? Are you married? Where are you doing now?" Of course, it had to be him, Wang Xiaohu!
"I'm married and have a daughter. I'm in Wu City now, and my lover is in Jing City..."
