Zhang Yuting said softly, "Let him eat for another day. When he's older and has a better immune system, he won't catch a cold or get sick so easily."

The two of them walked downstairs quickly, and she stopped, "When you have time, talk to An An more and cultivate your relationship. I think he seems a little afraid of you, otherwise he wouldn't have told you that he was sick."

Lu Nianfei shrugged helplessly, "It's my fault. I left him at home for too long and he lacked company. I don't think I can change anything in a short time. I'm usually busy and can't take good care of him."

Zhang Yuting bit her lip, knowing that some of the words were inappropriate, but she couldn't help it after all, "Aren't you going to find another stepmother for An An?"

Lu Nianfei smiled and said, "My wife just ran away from home and I can't contact her. She didn't divorce me. I don't know when she will come back. If I find another wife, it will be against discipline and law."

Zhang Yuting let out an "ah", realized her reaction was not right, and quickly apologized.

"I'm sorry, I don't know, I thought..."

She wanted to say that she thought An An's mother was gone, but she felt it was not a good idea to say that, and she was so anxious that sweat almost broke out on her forehead.

"Yuting, why are you here? The director is looking for you everywhere." Qu Zhengguo ran over.

Lu Nianfei glanced at Qu Zhengguo who was running over, then looked away and said to Zhang Yuting.

"Go ahead and do your work! I'm leaving first."

After saying this, he strode towards the hospital entrance.

Zhang Yuting looked at his back in a daze, and Qu Zhengguo, who came running over, couldn't help asking.

"Isn't the army very busy? Why does this soldier always come over here?"

Zhang Yuting came back to her senses and replied softly, "I came to see the injured."

She didn't want to talk about Lu Nianfei anymore, so she changed the subject, "What does the Director want to talk to me about?"

Qu Zhengguo shook his head, "The director didn't say."

Zhang Yuting: "Then I'll go take a look first."

Qu Zhengguo called her, "Yuting."

Zhang Yuting looked at him suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

Qu Zhengguo blushed slightly, "My family wants to introduce me to a partner."

Zhang Yuting understood what he meant and said with a smile, "That's good. You're not young anymore. You've been promoted to a regular employee and your career is stable. It's time to find a partner."

Zhang Yuting knew what Qu Zhengguo was thinking, but she had no such thoughts towards him, and of course she couldn't delay others.

Qu Zhengguo was stunned for a moment, then nodded as if he understood something.

"Go and see what the director wants to see you about! I'm busy now."

…

The temperature in Ancheng is not as cold as in Beijing, so wearing a military coat is a bit inconvenient.

Yang Niannian took off her military coat and covered the quilt with it. She took off her shoes and sat in the quilt, asking with a curious look on her face.

"When did Yu Ting and Lu Nianfei become so close? Is there something I don't know? Tell me."

Lu Shishen didn't like to pry into other people's affairs, so he could only tell Yang Niannian what he knew.

"After you go to Beijing to study, Zhang Yuting will take care of An An when she has time, and we will get familiar with each other slowly."

The gossipy flames in Yang Niannian's eyes grew stronger and stronger. "Yuting is kind-hearted. Maybe she feels that An'an is not as pitiful as her mother... But I always feel that something is wrong between Yuting and Lu Nianfei."

Lu Shishen reminded calmly, "Don't talk nonsense. Lu Nianfei's wife is just missing. He is still married. If rumors spread, it will not be good for him and Zhang Yuting."

Yang Niannian turned the tables and said, "There's no one here. If it gets out, it's your fault for not keeping your mouth shut. I only said it in front of you."

Lu Shishen, "..."

The two of them were bored in the room, so Yang Niannian chatted with Lu Shishen about all sorts of things for a while. Thinking that he was weak now and would recover quickly through sleep, she put the pillow flat, let him sleep well, and squeezed in next to him.

Lu Shishen had been thinking about Yang Niannian these two days and had not gotten enough rest. Now that she was lying beside him, he fell asleep soundly.

The two of them slept until noon, and Yang Niannian took her lunch box to the cafeteria to get some winter melon and pork ribs soup and braised pork and potatoes.

Maybe they were really hungry, as they both finished the small bowl of rice and soup.

When Yang Niannian went to wash the dishes, she happened to meet the family of the patient in Ward 206 next door. The patient in Ward 206 had his leg broken by a hoe in a fight and had been in the hospital for a week.

He had given birth to twins at home, who were still breastfeeding, so he couldn't bring the children to the hospital, and his mother stayed by his bedside.

After staying in the hospital for a few days, he was almost going crazy. Now he couldn't stop chatting with Yang Niannian. He followed Yang Niannian back to the ward and sat down on the bed opposite Lu Shishen.

Lu Shishen looked at Yang Niannian in confusion.

Yang Niannian shrugged helplessly, "This is the family of the injured patient in ward 206."

She didn't know how she chatted for a few minutes before this old lady followed her.

The old lady sat on the bed and shook it with her buttocks. "Your ward is really good. There is only one person living in it. Each person sleeps in a bed at night. It's really comfortable. There are two people living in my ward. I can only squeeze into the same bed with my son at night. He has body odor and it makes me unable to sleep."

Since she was bored anyway, Yang Niannian sat at Lu Shishen's feet and chatted with the aunt, "Body odor can be treated."

Without thinking, the aunt said, "Why spend that money? His wife doesn't even mind that he stinks, how long can I live with him?"

“Uh…” Yang Niannian was embarrassed.

What he said was correct, but why did it sound wrong?

The aunt's eyes moved around and landed on Lu Shishen, "Your man also has body odor, right?"

"Ah?" Yang Niannian was surprised for a moment, and asked with a suppressed smile, "Why do you think he has body odor?"

The auntie said with reason, "No one is perfect. Generally speaking, good-looking people have some flaws."

Lu Shishen frowned slightly. He never liked chatting about family matters, let alone arguing. But at this moment, he couldn't help but make an excuse in a deep voice.

"I don't have body odor."

When he trains, he smells of sweat, but he just washes it off and there is no body odor.

"Impossible, you can tell he has body odor." The auntie was sure he had body odor and stood up and said, "Let me smell it."

Yang Niannian quickly stood up and stopped the old lady, and without blushing or beating her heart, she splashed dirty water on Lu Shishen.

"Auntie, my husband does have a little bit, but it's not serious. He is too shy to admit it."

Lu Shishen pursed his lips and looked at Yang Niannian deeply.

After hearing this, the old lady gave up and said, "I told you there was one, didn't I? Don't be embarrassed. I've been through this and I'm old enough. I know everything."

Yang Niannian was trying so hard to hold back her laughter that she almost got hurt, so she quickly changed the subject, "You mentioned before that the wife in your village cheated on her husband, how did she deal with it later? Did they get divorced?"

The aunt didn't take it seriously. "It's not a big deal. Why get a divorce? We have four or five kids. What will happen to them if we get divorced? It doesn't matter who you live with! Can you guarantee that she won't cheat on you if you find another wife? You have to spend a dowry to find another wife. It's better to just live like this. She won't break your back even if you use her for money."

Having lived to an old age, the old lady has seen a lot of things and is thick-skinned. She can say things that the old men cannot.

Yang Niannian was dumbfounded, "Oh my god, you didn't divorce me even after I caught you in bed?"

This lady has quite advanced thinking.

Auntie, "Well, what's that? There are people in our village who go out with their brother's wife, but they still live their lives behind closed doors, don't they?"

"Is there such a thing?"

Yang Niannian listened with great interest and wanted to buy two bags of melon seeds to eat while sitting down.

"Why not? There are more than one."

The aunt couldn't stop talking about family matters. She talked about everything that happened in the surrounding villages, even about whose yellow dog gave birth to puppies of different colors.

After accidentally learning that they had been married for almost a year and still had no children, the aunt's eyes became strange. She also noticed that Lu Shishen was present and asked Yang Niannian directly.

"Is there something wrong with your man's body?"
