Chapter 217: Go or not go to the appointment?

Zhai Ximo was having lunch in the cafeteria at noon when he heard from his colleagues in the kitchen that his wife was ill.

The condition was very serious, so the new leader had to go to the family compound to carry the child out, and then he was sent to the town clinic in Commander Duan’s jeep.

This news made his pupils dilate.

"Deputy Captain Zhai, you are a nice person usually. Please pay more attention to your wife in the future. She has just joined the army from her hometown in the countryside. If you don't care about her, no one will." The person who said this was Squad Leader Wang from the kitchen squad.

The other people sitting at the cadres' table looked at Zhai Ximo with strange eyes.

Zhai Ximo hurriedly finished his lunch, and as soon as he walked out of the cafeteria, his face turned completely cold.

When he returned to the single dormitory, before he even reached the door of his dormitory, he saw Zhang Kang waiting for him with his back against the corridor.

"Old Zhai, I'm telling you, don't let me do this kind of thankless work anymore! Wen Yiting is not in her right mind and wants to harm her own father, but don't harm me! She knew that Commander Duan was also in the Ninth Division, but she still dared to write to you."

When Zhang Kang saw his old comrade, he started cursing.

He took out the thousand paper crane and threw it to Zhai Ximo in one smooth motion.

Zhai Ximo caught the thousand paper cranes and took a look at them. It was indeed the usual style of a cultured girl like Wen Yiting.

"Why are you so angry? I just asked you to deliver a message."

"Huh, I see. You really plan to divorce your sister-in-law and marry Wen Yiting?" Although Zhang Kang knew that his old comrade-in-arms had returned home to divorce before, the situation at home clearly did not allow it, and he could not divorce his wife in his hometown for the time being.

However, Zhang Kang put his hands in his trouser pockets and said with a chubby face, "Next time I will never run errands for you guys again! If you are so brave, just go on a date with a big fanfare."

Zhai Ximo didn't say anything and went into the dormitory with the thousand paper cranes.

He didn't know that Zhang Kang came home for lunch at noon and had a quarrel with Zhu Yan.

At the same time, Zhang Kang also learned about the letter Wen Yiting wrote to Zhai Ximo, asking his old comrade to meet at the guesthouse, and it must be to discuss how to deal with the shrew at home.

At that time, I was lying on the bed in the single dormitory.

Zhai Ximo was holding the letter sent by Zhang Kang, and two voices were fighting fiercely in his mind.

"Are you going to the appointment or not?"

On the one hand, he knew exactly what he was doing.

He was facing a very difficult marriage and family situation, but he was more aware of one thing: Wen Yiting had successfully entered the Kun District National Defense Art Troupe and was a cadre above the platoon level.

If he marries Wen Yiting, they will be a dual military family. In the future, with Commander Wen as his father-in-law in the army, whether it is him who is promoted or Wen Yiting, the offspring born to him and Wen Yiting will directly cross classes!

If he wants to marry Wen Yiting, he must divorce Wang Ziru and let her take the child back to the countryside.

But divorce is not an easy thing.

What should we do now?

Zhai Ximo felt that his mind was in a mess. On the other hand, he had to find a plausible excuse to go to the town tonight so that no one would suspect him...

Soon, he thought of a brilliant idea!

Zhai Ximo somersaulted off the bed, put on his shoes, tidied his clothes, left the single dormitory, and went straight back to the regiment office building.

He is only the deputy head of the group and does not need to report to the chief's office when asking for leave.

All he had to do was ask for leave from the head teacher. When he arrived at the general office of the regiment, head teacher Wen and two other officers were there. Seeing him coming to work, head teacher Wen asked, "I heard that your wife was sick and was sent to the town health center. Is her condition serious?"

"Well, I had a quarrel with her yesterday, so I might be feeling upset."

Mr. Wen glanced at the other two cadres and then looked at Zhai Ximo: "How about you go to the town and have a look?"

"That's what I was thinking. If she hasn't come home this afternoon, I plan to go to the town after get off work," Zhai Ximo's expression remained calm, and no one could tell anything was wrong. "Should I ask for leave from the regiment?"

"Well, write a leave application and you can be absent from the Youth League meeting in the evening." Teacher Wen nodded.

Zhai Ximo hurried back to his desk and sat down, writing a leave application and handing it to Teacher Wen. He secretly decided in his heart that he would eat first after get off work in the evening and then go back to take a shower.

Wen Yiting must miss him too. After being separated for half a year, she must have a lot to say to him.

On the other side, the family compound.

After lunch, Wen Yiting asked her mother to boil a pot of water. "Mom, let's eat dinner early. I'll go out for a walk after dinner."

Su Hong was an experienced person in relationships. When she saw the young lady go downstairs after lunch and take a shower and change clothes, she vaguely guessed that she was going out to meet a man.

He said, "Don't go too far when you go out alone. You have to report to Kunqu District early tomorrow morning."

"I understand!"

On the third floor, at Zhai's house, Zhai Qingsong was extremely anxious when he learned that his brother and sister-in-law were sent to the county town for treatment.

Originally, he wanted to tell Cheng Xueru that Wen Yiting had written a letter to ask the third brother to meet, but although Zhuang Jiahan was not very literate, he understood that this matter was too embarrassing.

Several times, he was unable to open his mouth when words came to his lips, so he went back to Li Village with Cheng Xueru, and went to the town to pick up Baoer from school in the afternoon.

After returning to Cheng's house in Licun, Zhai Qingsong put on a straw hat and followed his grandfather to pull weeds in the rice fields.

At the County People's Hospital, after hanging a bottle of water and taking two painkillers, Wang Ziru felt much better in her stomach.

But when she was about to get up to go to the bathroom, she realized that she didn't bring toilet paper with her when she went out!

After several hours of torment, she felt that the inside of her pants was soaked.

"I have to trouble Commander Duan again."

Wang Ziru thought about this and lay steadily on the hospital bed. She glanced at the half-full bottle of water on the hoist and wondered how to say there was no toilet paper.

The rough man sitting on the stool was dozing off when he suddenly heard the sound of the bed turning over and was startled awake.

"Do you want to go to the toilet?" Commander Duan glanced at the young wife with a strange look.

Wang Ziru grabbed the edge of the quilt with both hands and said with a red face: "I wanted to go to the bathroom, but I forgot to bring toilet paper when I went out..."

Commander Duan grinned wickedly, "You were so confused at that time, how could you remember to bring paper?"

I stood up and walked out of the ward. I saw the guard Xiao Li sitting in the corridor outside the door. "Go buy two kilograms of toilet paper!"

He turned around and looked at his young wife on the bed. "Do you need anything else besides toilet paper?"

Wang Ziru waved her hand embarrassedly, and then she heard Xiao Li's footsteps heading towards the staircase.

Xiao Li came back with a thick roll of toilet paper. When he handed it to Wang Ziru, he smiled and asked, "If it's not enough, I'll go buy two more kilograms."

"…" It's not a gate, so why would we need so much paper?

Just as Wang Ziru was wondering whether she should take the IV bottle to the women's restroom, Commander Duan flashed and took the IV bottle off the hanging rod and held it up to her, "Aren't you going to relieve yourself? What are you still standing there for?"

With his other hand, he carried Wang Ziru down from the hospital bed and staggered to the women's restroom.

Fortunately, the female toilet in the inpatient department had a single squat toilet, which was not very big. Commander Duan stood outside the door holding an IV bottle, waiting a little awkwardly for his young wife to relieve herself.

It took him a long time to come out of the women's room.

"You go ahead!" Wang Ziru crossed her legs and dodged with her beautiful almond-shaped eyes. She didn't want the man to notice that there was a red spot on her pants.

Seeing this, the rough man thought the young wife was embarrassed, so he stretched out his long legs and walked back to the ward.

I returned to the ward and lay down again. The nurse also came to check on me.

Seeing that there was not much medicine in the IV bottle, he said, "Once this bottle is gone and your stomach doesn't hurt so much, you can go home."

"No! My waist still hurts. I need Dr. Zhang to prescribe me another bottle of water." Wang Ziru pretended to be calm and asked. She was not lying. After lying in bed for two days, her waist really hurt as if it was about to break.

But the real reason was that she had to wait until it was almost dark before going out. When it was dark, no one would notice that her pants were dirty.

The nurse looked at the patient on the bed and felt that the patient didn't have any serious problems.

Thinking that Wang Ziru was deliberately staying away from the hospital and wanted this good-looking man to spend more time with her, he looked at her with a bit of contempt and turned around and left.

When Dr. Zhang heard that she had back pain, he rushed to the ward to check.

After a checkup, "Prescribe two more bottles of water for her, and then see how she gets after the infusion."

When he left, Dr. Zhang saw a lot of supplements on the small cabinet beside the bed and said with a smile, "The family can give her some malted milk to replenish her energy."

Commander Duan then remembered that he had not yet given her the supplements he had bought.

After seeing off Doctor Zhang, he told Xiao Li to borrow a thermos from the nurse and bring some boiled water, and then went to the jeep to get two enamel pots.

Wang Ziru stared at Commander Duan as he opened the iron box of malted milk. A very rich aroma wafted into her nose.

She pursed her lips and whispered, "Well, Commander Duan, have you ever eaten maltose? What does maltose taste like?"

The rough man standing beside the bed clenched his hands, with a subtle and unbelievable look in his eyes.

"You've never eaten maltose in your life?"

Suddenly, the rough man thought that he might have asked a very stupid question. Looking at her greedy eyes staring at the iron box of malted milk, she must have never eaten it.

He sat on a stool holding the malted milk and scooped a spoonful of it with a spoon. "Open your mouth."

Guard Xiao Li stood at the door of the ward. For some reason he didn't recognize the commander.

On the hospital bed, Wang Ziru's face was red. She reached out to hold the small spoon, opened her mouth, and took the spoon in one bite.

Granular malt extract is a bit like the feed of later generations.

In an instant, the sweet smell of frankincense filled her lips and teeth, and her mouth made a "crunching" sound as she chewed the food. She was eating so happily that she even licked her lips.

Commander Duan simply poured a few more spoonfuls into her mouth.

"That's enough. I won't eat anymore. Just drink it with water." Wang Ziru ate five or six spoonfuls in a row. Her sense of happiness soared. She felt happy and refreshed all over.

I watched the rough man get a glass of maltose, tilt his head back and drink it down in one gulp.

"Can you make me half a cup of brown sugar water?"

The rough man mumbled something in his mouth, looked up, and met her eyes, "You should have said it earlier! I've been here for a long time, but I haven't made it for you to drink."

After leaning down slightly and drinking a cup of brown sugar water, Wang Ziru felt herself regained her energy.

Her cheeks were rosy, her lips were moist, and her watery eyes were moving around.

Commander Duan thought the doctor was amazing, but a few hours later, the young wife was lingering here and there in front of him, asking, "Does your stomach hurt anymore? Does your waist still hurt?"

"Although it's not completely healed yet, it's much better now. Let's go back after this bottle of water is finished."

When the three came out of the hospital, the sun was setting. Xiao Li ran to the car early, opened the back seat, and invited the two to get in.

When he saw the red stain on the back seat, his eyes widened and he turned to look at Wang Ziru, "I don't know how the seat got dirty. I'll wipe it first."

Instantly, Wang Ziru's face turned red, and she dared not admit that it might have been dirty when she took the bus into the city.

Commander Duan walked to the car with his young wife, glanced at the seat, turned around and said to the flustered Xiao Li, "Have you eaten mushrooms? Why are you so crazy? What's so strange about her pants leaking?!"
