Smiling, he took her hand and replied, "The betrothal gift is 500 yuan, and the rest is for buying three reels and a ring. My mother said to round it up and give it to you. As for Xiao Mo getting married, you don't have to worry, my parents are there to take care of it."
An Ran nodded and said, "You've prepared everything. I haven't prepared anything, isn't that a bit inconvenient?"
He smiled, rested his head against her forehead, and said, "You don't have to prepare anything, just stay with me until we grow old."
He asked, "By the way, how's your research going? Any news about Tang Lin? Where was he last seen?"
Cao Kun was helpless. This girl was always unromantic, but he also understood that she was worried that Tang Lin was in danger.
He replied, "According to the comrade who carried Xiao Mo back, they found important intelligence. Xiao Mo and that comrade asked Tang Lin to rush back to report. However, we didn't receive any intelligence here, let alone Tang Lin. The result of our discussion was just to follow the route provided by that comrade and search along the way, hoping to find some clues."
Hearing this, An Ran frowned, thought for a moment, and then asked, "How did Xiao Mo get injured? And was he injured so badly? Is the person who carried Xiao Mo back intact?"
Cao Kun shook his head and said, "According to that comrade, they were discovered by the enemy. Xiao Mo was injured while trying to save that comrade. The two of them rolled down the hillside and escaped. That comrade was shot once in the abdomen and once in the left leg. Before rolling down the hill, Xiao Mo was shot once six centimeters from his heart, once in his arm and once in his leg. The bullet six centimeters from his heart was blocked for that comrade. And when he rolled down the hill, Xiao Mo's head hit a rock."
After pondering for a while, An Ran asked, "Is that comrade in the hospital now? Can I go and see him? I promise I won't do anything."
Cao Kun nodded and said, "Sure. I'm Xiao Mo's eldest brother, and you're his eldest sister-in-law. My parents can't come, and an eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. You should go and thank the benefactor on their behalf. This is normal, and no one will say anything."
Hearing this, An Ran sneered and retorted, "Don't talk about benefactors yet. It's not certain whether he is our family's benefactor or not! It's too early to say benefactors now. Besides, Xiao Mo took a bullet for him, so it's even."
Cao Kun didn't understand what she meant and asked, "Ranran, what do you mean by this?"
An Ran smiled and said, "What do you mean? Let's talk about it after we meet the person. Okay, pack up, you and I will go buy some things and meet the benefactor you mentioned."
The two of them packed up, held hands, and went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some snacks, two cans of food, and some fruits, and took them to the hospital.
After arriving at the hospital, Cao Kun took An Ran to the comrade's ward.
He was not the only one in the ward. There was Bai Ke who came to pick up Cao Kun and An Ran, and there were two other people An Ran had never seen before, or perhaps she had seen them but had forgotten about them.
Cao Kun placed the things on the table next to the bed and introduced, "Comrade Zhen, this is my wife. She came with me to see you. I brought you some fruit and snacks."
"Of course, this is Comrade Zhen Luonan, who carried out the mission with Xiao Mo and Tang Lin. You've met Bai Ke. The other two are Wan Linjie and Ma Xiaowei."
An Ran and the other three nodded, not paying special attention to Zhen Luonan, but they were always observing him out of the corner of their eyes.
It's not that she was pretending, but she disliked this person the first time she saw him, and always felt that something was wrong.
According to Cao Kun, when she was at home, she couldn't tell what was wrong.
As expected, this person was problematic. She hadn't expressed her gratitude to him. A flash of calculation and ruthlessness flashed across Zhen Luonan's eyes, so fast she almost thought it was a meteor. It seemed this person was no ordinary person!
Retracting her thoughts, An Ran began to act, pushing Cao Kun aside. Holding Zhen Luonan's hand, she said, "Comrade Zhen is very grateful to you. If you hadn't carried my brother-in-law back, we wouldn't have been able to see him. I thank you on behalf of my parents-in-law, thank you."
Everyone, including Zhen Luonan, was stunned. They didn't understand why An Ran, who was calm and composed just one second, suddenly changed her expression the next.
The other three people all looked at Cao Kun, asking, "What happened to my sister-in-law?"
Taking advantage of the man's daze, An Ran used two fingers of her right hand to feel his pulse. She said, "Comrade Zhen, you must take good care of yourself. Tell me what you want to eat. I can't cook it, but I can buy it for you. You saved my brother-in-law, so you're our family's benefactor. We will always remember this and repay you."
Zhen Luonan came back to his senses and quickly said, "Thank you, sister-in-law, this is what I should do. Cao Mo and I are comrades-in-arms. It's only right for us to support each other in the battle." After saying that, he pinched An Ran's hand in a lewd manner.
Cao Kun understood that An Ran must have a reason for doing this. But seeing her holding the other person's hand, he felt uncomfortable. He found a topic to bring An Ran back and said, "Ran Ran, we have finished watching. We have other things to do, let's go first."
An Ran nodded. She had already taken the patient's pulse and confirmed her guess, so there was no need to stay.
Cao Kun nodded to Zhen Luonan and led An Ran out of the ward. The other three were still confused, but since the boss was gone, there was no need for them to stay.
As soon as they left the ward, Cao Kun took out a handkerchief and wiped An Ran's hands. The others watched in amazement.
An Ran patted Cao Kun, motioning him to follow her. The two of them walked to the ward door. An Ran whispered, "See how he reacts."
