The patient recovered and the plague subsided

County Railway Station Platform.

Zhang Qingjun was wearing a Type 65 green military uniform, a quilted military coat as an outer layer, and a backpack and a military aluminum water bottle across his body. The red five-pointed star on the badge of his Liberation cap shone bright red in the sunlight, symbolizing the soldier's passion and loyalty.

He bent down to make it easier for his mother to help him straighten his already straight collar. Before Zhang's mother put down her trembling hands, she burst into tears, her tears flowing like a dam bursting, her eyes full of reluctance and worry. She held her son's cheek and cried out loud. It had been two years since he left, and he had never known whether he was dead or alive.

"Mom, I will be back." Zhang Qingjun's eyes were already red. He tried hard to control his emotions and held his sobbing mother tightly in his arms. He cried until his voice became hoarse, "Mom will wait for you to come back."

"Take good care of yourself in the army." Wu Yi patted Zhang Qingjun's arm heavily, trying hard to remain calm, but failed when his brother looked at him, with tears in his eyes.

"Brother! You must come back." Zhang Qingjie opened his arms and held his doting brother and mother in his arms. Zhang Qingjie had never touched the money in his brother's piggy bank. He risked his life to earn it, and he couldn't bear to part with it.

Shen Roujiao, who was standing not far away, also burst into tears. She couldn't bear to see others cry. When she saw them crying, she couldn't control herself. In her previous life, she had never sent people off like this, especially soldiers.

The scene is so tear-jerking, wuwuwu...

Zhou Huaiyue next to her glanced at her and said softly, "Take out your handkerchief and wipe your nose."

After everyone had finished crying and saying what they needed to say, they all looked at Shen Roujiao at the same time, and she glanced at Zhou Huaiyue almost unconsciously.

"Go ahead." He didn't stop her. Some things had to be done without regrets on both sides.

Shen Roujiao walked up to Zhang Qingjun. He lowered his head and looked at her tenderly. She raised her head and stared at him reluctantly. The light shone through the clouds on them, and the surroundings gradually dimmed.

Her eyes were red, and she couldn't stop crying as soon as she spoke, "Brother Qingjun, take care of yourself."

No one expected that they would get so close because of a twenty-dollar assembled bicycle.

Those past events suddenly came to my mind, vividly.

They had fought against Aunt Xu, the old woman, at the market; they had worked together to stop the villagers from fighting in the fighting village; they had played a double act to trick the secretary into signing an agreement; they had fought together on the front line against the plague; he taught her to be ruthless when dealing with bad guys, he taught her how to carry a load on her shoulders, he taught her how to use medicine to save people skillfully...

It turned out that they had been through so many things together, one by one, flashing through their minds like scenes from a movie.

Zhang Qingjun no longer hid the deep love in his eyes. He finally smiled at her, a bitter yet sweet smile, "Two years later, if I come back, I will look for you. If not, that's fine too..."

He hid his sadness with a bigger smile and said no more.

If you don't come back, don't forget me.

"Not back?" Shen Roujiao's attention was all on these three words. Although she knew that the soldier's duty was to protect the country and that they must not be afraid of sacrifice at critical moments, the soldier's life was also life, and they also had families, lovers, and children.

Shen Roujiao's heart was suddenly tightened and she felt a pain. She suddenly understood why Zhang's mother cried so heartbreakingly. No mother could watch her child die with her own eyes. "Brother Qingjun, can you not go?" Her tears were like a layer of fog, blurring her vision and making it hard to see clearly.

"Silly girl. Didn't you say that a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier?" He wiped away the tears from her eyes with the sleeve of his military coat.

"But you must come back." She didn't want to cry anymore, but she couldn't help it. She wanted to smile at him.

So she smiled and cried to him.

Zhang Qingjun was also smiling, "This is for you. The hour hand will make 1,460 revolutions in two years." He took out a lady's watch from his pocket, which he bought at the county supply and marketing cooperative yesterday. He unfolded it in front of her and said nothing more.

There were many things he couldn't say, but Shen Roujiao understood that Zhang Qingjun wanted her to remember him and not forget him.

They smiled at each other as they looked at each other. Time froze at that moment. The two of them were like two stars, both far and close.

The train whistle sounded, urging the arrival of departure.

Zhang Qingjun took Shen Roujiao's hand and solemnly put the watch into her palm. Then he saw a piece of fruit candy in her palm. It was given to her by Wang Li before she left. Shen Roujiao left it for him.

Afterwards, Zhang Qingjun pulled his military uniform, took a step back, saluted Shen Roujiao and his parents, brothers and friends who were not far away with extreme solemnity and respect, and got on the train without looking back.

The next moment the train started moving, Zhang Qingjun slowly loosened his left hand, and the candy was in his palm. He was going to his future, and he couldn't bear to look at them again.

Because I was afraid that they would see me crying.

.......

On the way back to the epidemic area, the carriage was silent and everyone was in a bad mood, especially Zhou Huaiyue. When he saw Shen Roujiao looking at Zhang Qingjun with tears in her eyes while smiling, the crack somewhere in his heart opened even wider.

She had him in her heart, and this thought tormented him all the way.

While decocting the medicine in the afternoon, the two of them stopped talking again.

Sister Li expressed her confusion.

At night, the epidemic prevention team held a meeting. Lu Qinglan sat in the middle, with Wu Yi and Director Sun next to him, and Zhou Huaiyue sat in the second row. Because the special medicine was effective, the patients, especially the children, recovered very quickly. At the current recovery rate, the patients could leave the hospital one after another on the fourth day of taking the medicine. After a week, all the patients could return home, and the temporary treatment area was removed immediately.

The provincial medical team plans to leave tomorrow, and the next work will be taken over by the previous municipal medical team until all patients recover.

This also means that the plague is completely under control, and Zhou Huaiyue and Shen Roujiao can leave with peace of mind.

The day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve. He wants to take her back to Hedong Village to discuss with the Shen family about going to Ping'an County to find Shen's mother. With such a delay, I don't know if the master can wait for her third disciple.

When Zhou Huaiyue returned to the tent, Shen Roujiao had just finished washing up and was sitting on the camp bed. When he lifted the curtain and came in, their eyes met, and Zhou Huaiyue turned his head away almost instantly, ignoring her intention.

"Why are you ignoring me?" Her eyes followed Zhou Huaiyue and saw him wetting a towel in the washbasin and wiping his face.

"Why are you smiling at him?" He did not stop the movement of his hands, and he twisted the towel with great force.

"I was afraid that this would be the last time I would smile at him. If it was the last time, I would not want to cry to him, I would just want to smile at him." Because he was a soldier, he sacrificed for his mission and responsibility, which was great and extraordinary.

If someone fights for his ideal until death, we should be proud of him and smile at him!

Zhou Huaiyue's hand stopped wiping his face, his body seemed frozen and unable to move. His previously confused and misty mind suddenly became clear: So this is what she thought.

People come and go in this world, some stay and some leave. If there is a person who knows what you know and what you think, regardless of gender or age, regardless of romance or east and west, just for the sincerity, I wish you all the best.

This friendship is a bond that transcends mountains and seas, and is the most precious thing in the world that can’t be found.

He understood everything. He understood the logic behind this. If he continued to argue, it would be that he, Zhou Huaiyue, was immature and not worthy of her magnanimity.

"Why aren't you wearing your watch?" Suffocating.

What he meant was, since we are friends, I can wear the watch, I am not that petty. But when he said it, it became: naked sarcasm!

"Swish!" In the corner of her eyes, Shen Roujiao suddenly stood up, walked to his side, took out the watch from her cotton-padded jacket pocket, and threw it into Zhou Huaiyue's arms in anger, "Here you go."

The fewer words, the greater the energy.

She cursed in her heart: Zhou Huaiyue, you are a fool, your heart is not much bigger than the tip of a needle. I don't want it anymore, I'm giving it to you, keep it for your sweetheart. Whoever likes you in the future must be stupid, must be blinded by pig fat, must be blinded by fog...

Suddenly, the cursing stopped, and Zhou Huaiyue held her hand and lifted her wrist.

"What, what are you doing?" Shen Roujiao tried hard to pull her hand back, but failed.

The next second, the watch was placed on her left wrist, and the buckle was snapped shut. Zhou Huaiyue admired it repeatedly, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "It suits you very well."

"." No way, the retribution for scolding him came too quickly.

She was not stupid, nor was she blinded by greed. She just didn't want to make Master Zhou angry. As for why she didn't want to make him angry, it was probably because he had saved many people and he should be praised and coaxed by her because she was used to it.

Shen Roujiao shook her wrist angrily and sat back on the bed mumbling.

Zhou Huaiyue raised the corner of his mouth and laughed secretly: "What are you plotting against me in your mind again?"

!

Sure enough, the mumbling sound disappeared, and Shen Roujiao simply lay down, covered her head with her military coat, and forced herself to sleep.

"It doesn't hurt to cover it!" He smiled secretly with satisfaction.

A dull and angry voice came from the military coat, "What do you care about me?"

She thought: No one should try to control me, especially Zhou Huaiyue. Whoever falls in love with me can do it, but I won't do it anyway.

"The provincial medical team will leave tomorrow. Just now, Mayor Lu asked us to go back on New Year's Eve. He sent a car to take us back. If you want to buy some New Year's goods, I will buy them on the way back to the village." Zhou Huaiyue said intermittently while brushing his teeth, "When should we go to Ping'an? I want to hear your thoughts."

"Great!" exclaimed happily.

She had been counting the days in her mind. Seeing that the patients were getting better and Wang Li's mother's condition was getting better day by day, they could finally set out to find their mother.

Lifting her military coat, Shen Roujiao poked her head out and looked at Zhou Huaiyue's back, "How about we set out on New Year's Day? My father and brothers will definitely be very anxious. Nothing is more important than looking for my mother."

They were indeed anxious, because the day after Shen Roujiao left, Shen's father received a telegram from Ping'an County: I have found your mother, Tan Cuimei, and I will tell you in detail when I get back. Zhou Huaiyue.

After reading the telegram, the Shen family cried. Shen Tianyou was about to go to the city to look for his younger sister, but was stopped by his father. "Jiaojiao, I told you before you left that no matter what happens, you are not allowed to leave the village. Besides, Master Zhou hasn't come back yet, so it's useless to look for her, and it will only distract her."

In order to prevent the tragic situation in the original text where Shen's father and third brother Shen Tiannan died of plague, Shen Roujiao and Hu Zi went home to remind them not to go anywhere and only to listen to the radio and watch TV at home before leaving.

......

After a pause, she asked tentatively, "Master, is my mother very gentle?"

Shen Tianhua, the only one who still had some impression of his mother, once secretly talked about his mother. He said: His mother was the woman with the best temper in the village. He said that she was clever and could use Shen's father's old clothes to make nice clothes for them. He also said that his mother's eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky.

"Want to know?" Zhou Huaiyue put down his toothbrush, rinsed his mouth, walked to Shen Roujiao's bed, and said lightly: "Let me know, I'll tell you."

Humph, boring. She turned over and said, "No way!"

"You care about me! It counts." Zhou Huaiyue's eyes were filled with deep fascination, but unfortunately, she didn't see it.
