Chapter 190 The Years Are Quiet, But the Sadness of Separation Is Even Deeper
"Why didn't you tell me that it was the chief who signed this?" Lin Shuwang looked at the surgery notice in his hand and turned to ask Meimei.
Mei Mei looked at the notice with blank eyes.
Only Su Mei could give Lin Shuwang the answer: "She didn't tell you because she didn't know about it at all. I asked the leader for it.
This is to prevent brainless and unreasonable family members of patients like you from causing trouble. If you want to hold them accountable, why don't you go and talk to your superiors? Don't you have any guts?
If you don’t have the guts, get out of my yard. I hate it.”
Su Mei would naturally not be polite to someone who was rude to her.
She is now very fortunate that she insists on getting someone to sign a consent form for each surgery. When she meets someone like Lin Shuwang, she doesn't have to say anything. She just needs to take out the consent form and the other person will shut up.
Lin Shuwang naturally did not have the courage to confront the leader, but he also did not want Meimei to communicate with Su Mei anymore, for fear that Meimei would listen to what Su Mei said and abort the baby.
Mei Mei knew how stubborn her man was. She did not argue with Lin Shuwang. She looked at Su Mei apologetically and said:
"I'm sorry to have come here to trouble you on such a happy day."
"It's okay, go back quickly!" Although Su Mei was unhappy, it was not easy to argue with the pregnant woman. Besides, Mei Mei had no ill intentions. She was just too cowardly and had no opinion of her own. She probably didn't expect Lin Shuwang to say those ugly words.
Lin Shuwang pulled Meimei away. Huo Jianguo had just finished his work with the army and came back just in time to see the couple leaving.
After entering the courtyard, Huo Jianguo looked at Su Mei who was sitting in a rocking chair and asked:
"What happened to Lin Shuwang and Meimei? They seemed to have just left our house and were making a fuss!"
"What else can I do? Lin Shuwang just came to accuse me of aborting Meimei's previous pregnancy. Fortunately, I was careful and asked the chief to sign the consent form for the surgery, so he left in disgrace. It was really unlucky.
"Meimei looks like a gentle and kind girl, how come she married such a man? I used to think that you soldiers are very upright and would not bully your wives, but this Lin Shuwang really broke my fantasy, he is so annoying." Su Mei shook her head and felt sorry for Meimei.
Hearing Su Mei's sigh, Huo Jianguo took over the conversation:
"Character has nothing to do with occupation. The military is full of mixed people. Although it may sound unpleasant, it is a fact. Not everyone is like you, a man, who has the awareness to maintain family harmony and love his wife.
However, most soldiers have good character. After all, they have to go through layers of political review during the selection process, and they also have to take many education courses when they arrive in the army. "
Perhaps because he felt that the previous words sounded like a casualty, Huo Jianguo added another sentence at the end.
Su Mei laughed: "No matter what time it is, you never forget to brag about yourself."
"It's self-boasting, of course, but what I said is all true. Just tell me, am I a good man?" As he spoke, Huo Jianguo walked to Su Mei and touched her double chin, which was almost non-existent.
Seeing Huo Jianguo's eyes as bright as the stars, Su Mei sat up, hugged Huo Jianguo's waist, buried her clothes in his thin military uniform and said:
"He's a good man. I'm leaving for school in half a month. Huo Jianguo, I suddenly realized that I can't bear to let him go!"
"What are you reluctant to give up? If the love between two people is long-lasting, why should they be together day and night?" As he said this, Huo Jianguo touched Su Mei's head. His words sounded nice, but his eyes still revealed a trace of loneliness where Su Mei couldn't see.
The two hugged each other quietly for a while before going into the kitchen to cook dinner.
Because the weather was hot, after dinner was ready, the two of them sat in the yard to eat.
There were sounds of wind, cries, and cicadas near the yard.
The years are quiet and beautiful, but the sorrow of separation is even stronger.
In order to break the gloomy atmosphere, Su Mei told Huo Jianguo about what happened during the day. When she talked about not finding her name on the first list, she was still worried:
"Do you know what I was thinking at that time? I was wondering if my college entrance examination results had been replaced. I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat!"
"Are you stupid? Who dares to replace your grades? Have you forgotten that the college entrance examination also has multiple political reviews? It is true that people can be replaced in the college entrance examination, but as a man like you, who dares to replace you!"
"Why are you bragging about yourself again?"
"I'm not bragging, Comrade Su Mei. Please write to me often when you go to Beijing. Otherwise, I might be missed by others."
