Chapter 234 Wang Jianshe Comes to Make Trouble
When Xiaomei heard what Aunt Lin said, she glared and said, "Mom, that's the army, you can't just go there whenever you want. I've been here for over a month, which is long enough."
Aunt Lin looked a little anxious: "Then you go to your uncle's house to play for two days. Your aunt misses your sister Qingqing very much. You should tell your aunt about her situation in the army."
Xiaomei has found such a good partner, but if Wang Jianshe ruins it, it will be difficult for Xiaomei to find such a good partner in the future.
She wanted to send Xiaomei out for a few days to see if she could resolve the issue of Wang Jianshe.
"Mom, are you hiding something from me?"
Xiaomei looked at Aunt Lin's expression and asked with a serious face.
Aunt Lin smiled and said, "What can happen to me?"
Xiaomei was suspicious. When her mother saw that she had found a soldier as her partner, her first reaction was not to happily praise Zhou Lie, but to send her away.
This matter must be related to Wang Jianshe. She asked, "How long has Dad been away? Why hasn't he come back yet?"
Aunt Lin was interrupted by Xiaomei's words and forgot what she had just said. She frowned and said, "It's been more than an hour since we left. It's been a while."
"Let me take a look. Mom, you sleep here for a while."
As she spoke, she winked at Zhou Lie and walked out of the ward.
Zhou Lie greeted Aunt Lin with a smile and followed her out.
"Zhou Lie, I guess that Wang Jianshe said something. When I said you were my partner, my mother's face changed. My cousin is right. Wang Jianshe must be up to something bad."
On the way back, Xiaomei and Zhou Lie told each other what Lin Qingqing had told them that day.
"Don't worry, I'm here for you no matter what happens."
Xiaomei nodded and hurried to the payment counter on the first floor.
Mom is a soft-hearted person, just ask Dad and you'll find out.
The two of them quickly arrived at the payment counter. Xiaomei trotted over and called out to a middle-aged man, "Dad."
Li Yishan was looking at the people passing by with a sad face when Xiaomei suddenly appeared in front of him. He immediately stood up and asked, "Xiaomei, why are you here? Have you met your mother?"
He saw that Xiaomei had nothing in her hands and didn't have much to worry about.
Xiaomei nodded and glanced at the payment counter. There were not many people queuing up so early in the morning. Why didn't her father pay the bill after being here for so long?
"Dad, what took you so long? Is it okay?"
Father Li frowned and sighed, "I don't have enough money. Didn't Tieshu go home to borrow an ox cart? I asked him to get some money from your fourth uncle. He hasn't arrived yet, but Xiao Xingdian is here to meet him."
After saying that, he looked at Xiaomei and said, "You got off the bus so early in the morning, you haven't eaten yet, right? Take five fen and buy some buns."
Father Li took out an old cloth bag from his trouser pocket and counted out a few banknotes and two grain coupons.
Before he could take out the money, Xiaomei held his hand.
"Dad, how much do you want?"
Xiaomei looked at the thin cloth bag and thought there wasn't much money in it.
Father Li raised his eyelids and said, "It's over 140. They said your mother's leg was broken. She put it in a cast and used some foreign medicine. Otherwise, her leg would be useless."
"It's so expensive, let me see the bill." Xiaomei exclaimed.
Father Li felt that his daughter had at least graduated from junior high school and was better than him. She might be able to figure out whether the medicine costing just a few dozen dollars was used incorrectly.
He took out the list from his jacket pocket and handed it to Xiaomei.
Xiaomei took it and took a look at it. The bill was a long one. She had taken a lot of medicine during the hospitalization. There were two medicines, one costing 18 yuan and the other 31 yuan. It was because of these medicines that the bill was so high.
The name of the medicine is in English, and Xiaomei can't understand it.
She handed the list to Zhou Lie.
"Zhou Lie, can you understand what these two medicines mean?"
Father Li saw that the soldier standing next to him and smiling at him actually knew his daughter. He stared at Zhou Lie up and down.
This soldier is more energetic than the guys in their village and has a very good character.
Zhou Lie glanced at the prescription and explained, "It's an anti-inflammatory drug that can quickly eliminate inflammation in the body. We don't have this medicine in our country. Your mother must have been injured quite a lot, and using ordinary medicine could easily cause infection in the wounds, which would be very detrimental to her condition."
Zhou Lie said this in light of Aunt Lin's condition.
He took the bill and took another look at it: "No problem."
Then he whispered in Xiaomei's ear, "Your father doesn't seem to have enough money. How about I pay for it?"
Xiaomei emphasized to him on the train that he should not spend money recklessly on things when he returned to her hometown.
He had just gotten off the car and wanted to buy some snacks and refreshments to bring to the hospital, but Xiaomei wouldn't let him, saying that he could just buy two pounds of meat in Guitang Town in the county.
"No, I have money." Xiaomei refused Zhou Lie.
"Who is this?"
Father Li saw the two of them whispering in front of him and could no longer hold back and asked.
Xiaomei giggled again, not a hint of shyness on her face. Instead, she boasted, "This is my boyfriend, Zhou Lie, and he's in the same unit as my cousin's husband."
Zhou Lie gave a standard military salute and said with a smile, "Hello, Uncle Li. I came to Shaanxi City to meet my comrades and to send Xiaomei back with me. Our friendship is purely revolutionary."
He met Xiaomei in the car to understand the personalities of the Li family and also did a lot of psychological preparation for himself. Now he is not afraid at all when he sees Xiaomei's family.
Father Li was particularly satisfied with Zhou Lie when he just looked at him. After hearing Xiaomei talk about their relationship, he nodded happily.
"Dad, my cousin gave me some money when I came back. I also made some money selling herbs in the army. I'll tell you more about this later. I'll pay the money first and go back to Dong as soon as possible."
Father Li felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. This was the first time he met his son-in-law, and he let others see this. It was really embarrassing.
He hurriedly took out the cloth bag from his pocket and handed it to Xiaomei.
Xiaomei has already trotted over to pay.
Father Li: “…”
He smiled awkwardly, then suddenly thought of Wang Jianshe, and his expression changed again.
Xiaomei paid the bill quickly. Lin Qingqing gave her three hundred yuan, and now she has fifteen hundred yuan left. Together with her own money, she has about two hundred yuan left, which is a lot more.
Zhou Lie tried to give her some money on the train, but she refused.
She is not so shameless as to ask Zhou Lie for money even though they are just dating. She is not so shameless as to ask Zhou Lie for money.
When Father Li saw Xiaomei coming back, he smiled at Zhou Lie, pulled her aside and talked about Wang Jianshe.
