Chapter 19 Fatty, where are we?

"Huo Jianguo, don't think that this matter is over just because you said a few nice words with a smile. I will definitely report today's incident to the chief." Lu Zhenhai's face was livid, and he sat on a small stool with his arms folded.

There was a fire burning in the stove. It was obvious that Lu Zhenhai felt too cold in there and started the fire himself.

Huo Jianguo's long legs stepped into the kitchen, moved a small stool and sat opposite Lu Zhenhai, still trying to smile and talk to him:

"I know that Mr. Political Commissar Lu is a magnanimous person. He will definitely not bother me about these trivial matters. Let's go out for a cup of tea and I will make amends to you."

"If I don't drink, I'll stay here and not go out. When the Party Committee holds a meeting tomorrow, come find me and I'll tell them that you, Huo Jianguo, have put me under house arrest here.

It is easier to invite a god than to send him away. You locked me in and now want me to walk out by myself. No way." Lu Zhenhai was furious and ignored Huo Jianguo.

As he spoke he picked up the fire tongs, took out a cooked potato from the stove hole, peeled it and ate it.

He looked like he was determined to fight Huo Jianguo to the end.

"Are you really not going out?" Huo Jianguo asked.

Lu Zhenhai ate the hot potatoes and uttered indistinctly: "I'm not going anywhere."

"Okay, if you don't go, I'll go drink with the old chief. The last time I went to the border village to catch poachers, I bought a bottle of wine made by the local villagers.

That taste is simply mellow and flavorful. Hey, I'll go get two peanuts and go have a drink with the chief. Political Commissar Lu, you can eat your potatoes slowly." As he said this, Huo Jianguo actually stood up and walked outside.

"Wait." Lu Zhenhai swallowed his saliva and asked in a low voice: "What flavor is the wine that the fellow villager cooks, corn wine, rice wine, or milk wine?"

"Oh, you said you're not going, why are you asking so many questions?" Huo Jianguo said, waving to Lu Zhenhai: "I'm leaving now, bye!"

"Who said I won't go?" Lu Zhenhai stood up immediately and said righteously, "It just so happens that I will go to the old chief and file a complaint against you now."

Huo Jianguo was walking in front and smiled when he heard the words. He knew that Lu Zhenhai was not a bad person, just a little pedantic.

It is estimated that after he heard that the man had woken up, he regretted his impulsiveness. Huo Jianguo's offer to take him to have a drink with the old leader was actually just an excuse to give this stubborn old man a way out.

After going out, Huo Jianguo took Lu Zhenhai and drove towards the military region to find the old leader.

The old leader has no family, so he does not live in the family compound.

When he was young, the old leader had a wife and children, but they all died in the war. Later, the old leader never remarried and dedicated his whole life to the country.

"Li Yuan, wake up, your mother is here to see you, you can't sleep anymore!" Su Mei saw Aunt Wang coming to see Li Yuan, so she reached out her hand and gently patted Li Yuan's shoulder while calling him.

Aunt Wang saw this and said, "Su Mei, don't call him, just let him sleep, I'll come and check on him."

"It's okay, Aunt Wang, it's time to wake him up. He's under anesthesia, and it's not good for him to sleep too long." Su Mei called Li Yuan a few more times.

But Li Yuan never responded.

After hearing what Su Mei said, Aunt Wang also stood beside the bed and shouted along with Su Mei, but no matter how they shouted, Li Yuan just wouldn't wake up. Just when Aunt Wang was frightened and wanted to ask Su Mei what was going on, Li Yuan on the bed suddenly started snoring.

"He... is snoring, which means he is fine. He just slept too soundly. Maybe he is tired." Su Mei laughed helplessly.

Normally, patients need to be woken up after anesthesia to prevent accidents, but the patient was sleeping so soundly that Su Mei felt that nothing should happen.

"Su Mei, thank you so much for today!" After hearing Su Mei say that Li Yuan was fine, Aunt Wang thanked Su Mei sincerely.

Hearing this, Su Mei smiled and said, "What are you thanking me for? Didn't you speak up for me this morning? I'm thanking you for speaking up for me!"

"Those few words are not as important as a life. No matter what, Su Mei, you and Teacher Huo will be the great benefactors of my mother and me from now on." Although Aunt Wang said this, she felt relieved in her heart that she had survived a disaster.

She felt that people should do more good deeds. If she had resented Su Mei for her previous harsh words to her in the morning and had not stood up to speak for Su Mei, Li Yuan might be dead now.

"You're welcome!" Su Mei waved her hands repeatedly.

As a doctor, Su Mei has done countless things to save the dying and heal the wounded. She thinks that if saving a life can be considered a benefactor, then her merit box would have been full long ago.

However, now, despite having done so many good things, she was still sent by God to such a miserable place to suffer, and soon she would not be able to endure this kind of suffering anymore, because the original owner's cheap husband wanted to divorce her.

"Oh!" Su Mei was so tired that she sighed heavily.

Aunt Wang saw Su Mei's drooping eyebrows and thought that Su Mei was tired, so she hurriedly said, "Su Mei, you must be tired after a busy day. Go to sleep and I will take care of him!"

"No, it's still a critical period at night. I have to watch over it myself. If he has a fever again or has other problems at night, I can handle it at any time."

"Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle~~~" Su Mei was still talking when her stomach suddenly made a few inopportune noises.

Su Mei was embarrassed when she heard the sound. She had just had one meal in the morning and was still hungry now. She didn't feel anything when she returned it to me. Her stomach rumbled so loudly that she felt like she was drooling because of hunger.

The gurgling sound was very loud, even louder than Li Yuan's purring. Aunt Wang heard it clearly. She slapped her forehead and said:

"Look at my brain. I only remember Li Yuan and forgot that you haven't eaten yet. Well, I'll go cook now."

"Auntie Wang, just make something casually. Don't waste it. And Li Yuan, he can't eat today, so don't cook for him." No family was wealthy these days, especially since Auntie Wang and Li Yuan depended on each other. Su Mei didn't want to make them poor with just one meal.

After all, she is not the original owner.

Aunt Wang said yes to Su Mei as she walked. When she got outside, she spoke a few words to Jiang Wei who was waiting outside.

Xie Li had been sent back by Huo Jianguo to rest, and Jiang Wei was left in the yard to stand guard in case of any emergency so that Jiang Wei could contact him in time.

Seeing Aunt Wang leave, Su Mei continued to sit on the edge of the bed in a daze.

She didn't notice at all that the person on the bed suddenly moved his fingers.

When Li Yuan woke up in bed, he looked at the strange and clean environment around him and thought he had died and ascended to heaven...

Li Yuan even told Aunt Wang about his funeral arrangements. He didn't think he could survive. The mountain was blocked by heavy snow and there were no doctors in the mountains. He lost too much blood and could feel his life slipping away.

Alas, he died just like that, and I don’t know what to do with his mother. Li Yuan turned his head away with a look of grief.

Then, he saw a big, fat face with squeezed features standing on his right. At that moment, if the anesthetic effect on Li Yuan had not worn off yet, Li Yuan might have flown off the bed.

"Awake!" Su Mei greeted casually.

She hadn't realized that the air around Li Yuan had stagnated.

About thirty seconds later, Li Yuan realized that he was lying on the bed unable to move, and the fat face sitting next to him was Su Mei, the most annoying woman in the military compound.

"Fatty, where is this? What did you do to me?"
