When they arrived at Captain Zhou's ward, he was also drinking porridge. Du Xuejiao fed him mouthful by mouthful. When he saw Chen Chuchu come in, he felt a little embarrassed, and both of them had blushes on their faces.

"Doctor Chen! Come for the ward rounds!"

Du Xuejiao quickly put down the porridge in her hand, took a towel to wipe Captain Zhou's mouth, and only let Chen Chuchu check it after she had cleaned it up.

"Sister-in-law! Captain Zhou! There's no rush. Have breakfast first. I can see that you two have a good relationship."

Chen Chuchu will be staying in the hospital for a whole day and night today. There is no need to delay her breakfast.

"Haha!" Du Xue laughed and continued to feed Captain Zhou porridge. "To be honest, we are in a rare free love relationship."

"Oh?" Chen Chuchu became interested. "Sister-in-law! That's great! In the countryside, free love is rare. Can you tell me how you fell in love with each other?"

"Haha! Doctor Chen! If someone else asks, I won't tell you. But if you ask, I must tell you."

Du Xuejiao's hearty laughter filled the ward. Captain Zhou smiled shyly: "Jiaojiao! If you say it's okay, can you lower your voice a little? It's not good for others to hear it."

Captain Zhou's coy young wife-like demeanor almost broke Chen Chuchu's defense. Zhou Shunyi became a battalion commander at a young age, so he must have been in the army for many years and was definitely a tough guy.

How can you act like a delicate little beauty in front of your wife?

This damn contrast, if she wasn't afraid of scaring them, she would have laughed out loud.

"I know. I will speak softly so no one can hear me." Du Xuejiao gently fed the man a mouthful of porridge and lowered her loud voice to the lowest volume. "Doctor Chen is your lifesaver. Without her, you don't know when you will wake up.

When dealing with a benefactor, we should speak freely and there is no need to hide anything. Besides, our son is already grown up, so there is nothing wrong with me telling him about how I pursued you back then. "

"What? Sister-in-law! It was you who pursued Captain Zhou back then?" Chen Chuchu finally found out why Captain Zhou showed a shy expression like a young wife.

It turns out he was the one being teased.

"Yeah!" Du Xuejiao nodded openly without any pretense, "My father is the village leader, I am the eldest in the family, I have two younger sisters and a younger brother.

Shunyi is the eldest in the family, with a bunch of younger brothers and sisters. His parents are in poor health, especially his father, who has asthma and can't do much work all year round.

We are the same age, but I am a little older than him. Shunyi was smart and good at studying since he was young, but his family was poor and couldn't afford to support him, so he stopped studying after graduating from junior high school.

I was dumb since I was little and couldn't read, so I copied his homework every time. If he didn't let me copy, I would beat him, and if he did, I would give him something delicious. Haha! It's funny just thinking about it."

“It is indeed interesting.”

Chen Chuchu imagined in her mind a scene of a big and strong girl bullying a weak boy, slapping him in the face, and then giving him a sweet date.

"Later, he stopped being so stubborn and took the initiative to let me copy his homework. I didn't copy it for nothing, I always gave him delicious food." After feeding the last mouthful of porridge, Du Xuejiao wiped the corner of Captain Zhou's mouth carefully again, "He was never willing to eat it himself, and always took it back to share with his younger brothers and sisters.

Later, we all stopped studying, so he worked very hard at home. A 16-year-old boy had to work day and night to earn enough work points to feed his family.

My father said that this was not a good way to go, so he persuaded him to join the army when he turned 18. At least he could find a way out by joining the army. The day he put on the military uniform, I was deeply attracted to him and told my father that I wanted to marry him.

Chen Chuchu really admired Du Xuejiao's courage. In that era, it was not easy for a girl to say that she wanted to marry the man she loved.

She asked curiously, "Your father didn't stop you? Captain Zhou's family is so poor, isn't he afraid that you will suffer if you marry into their family?"

Captain Zhou gratefully interjected, "My father-in-law is an extremely reasonable man. He didn't object."

"Hey! I was completely obsessed with him. My father's objection was useless. I was stubborn and I couldn't bear to let go once I fell in love with him." Du Xuejiao picked up her box of porridge and ate while saying, "I told him clearly before he went to the army, but he refused and was scared, so he ran away secretly before his time."

"Hahaha! Captain Zhou is really awesome." Chen Chuchu couldn't hold back her laughter and burst into laughter. Fearing that it would have an impact, she quickly covered her mouth with her hands, and her shoulders shook with laughter.

"Even running away won't work. It's my fault that running away won't work anywhere." Du Xuejiao laughed, "I wrote him letters, one a week. In less than half a year, he raised the white flag and surrendered."

"Hahaha! Sister-in-law! Your method is really amazing."

Chen Chuchu was really impressed by Du Xuejiao. She wrote a letter every week. Wouldn't Captain Zhou be overwhelmed? With such frequent bombardment, everyone in the army probably knew that he was engaged at home.

The young wife writes to him every week and they have a very good relationship.

Even if someone wanted to make a move, they wouldn't dare to, because the young people are in love and it is illegal to destroy a military marriage.

Who knew that in their relationship, it was Du Xuejiao who was pursuing it all by herself.

"Silly!" Captain Zhou looked at Du Xuejiao with tenderness in his eyes, "You are the only one in the whole brigade who thinks highly of me. With my family's conditions, there are not many people who would be interested in me."

"Hehehe! So what if he's stupid?" Du Xuejiao said nonchalantly, "My man is an officer. Who in the whole brigade can marry better than me?

When my brothers and sisters have all started their own families and careers, we will bring our parents here and take good care of them. We will have a happy family of five."

Captain Zhou was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, I'll do as you say."
