Jealousy and Discharge (Revised)
So you bought her a red dress? Shi Mingzhu felt very happy, this man was so easy to train.
But she didn't show any happiness on her face. She pointed at her son on the crib and said, "Next time when I find something good, I'll also think of your son."
Shi Mingzhu got a new dress and was in a very good mood. She planned to be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible.
It is still more comfortable to live at home. Even though it is a rented house in town, she is eager to go home. Moreover, if they return to the rented house, it will not be so easy for Huo Chengyu and his father-in-law to visit the child.
Let them rush! She didn't know whether Huo Chengyu would be anxious, but she knew that her father-in-law Huo Jiafeng would definitely be anxious.
She said to Huo Chengfeng, "Huo Chengfeng, I will be discharged from the hospital and go home after two more days."
Huo Chengfeng frowned, "Your wound..."
Shi Mingzhu understood what he meant. "The nurse said that I'm recovering well and the wound is healing. If you don't believe me, wait until the nurse changes my dressing and you can take a look. I don't want to stay in the hospital anymore. It's inconvenient."
Huo Chengfeng frowned and hummed.
In the evening, the nurse came to check on Shi Mingzhu and changed Shi Mingzhu's dressing. Huo Chengfeng looked at Shi Mingzhu's wound sutured with catgut and frowned in pain. The thread passed through the flesh, stretched taut.
"The wound cannot be exposed to water yet. Remember, your family will help you apply medicine tomorrow."
Shi Mingzhu hummed, and heard Huo Chengfeng ask the nurse, "How long will it take before I can touch the water?"
"If the wound heals well, you can go into the water in two weeks."
Huo Chengfeng nodded, and took the opportunity to ask, "Can I be discharged from the hospital in two days? We live in the town, about 10 kilometers away from here."
The nurse just said, "She can't blow the wind."
Huo Chengfeng understood: "I won't let her blow the wind."
After applying the medicine to Shi Mingzhu, the nurse left without staying any longer.
"How are you going to take me back to town?" Shi Mingzhu asked curiously.
Huo Chengfeng just said that he would send him there by car. Two days later, Huo Chengfeng packed up his things early.
After cleaning up, he handed Shi Mingzhu a hat, then took a coat and wrapped her from head to toe, leaving no skin exposed.
Shi Mingzhu was very depressed. She wore the red dress that Huo Chengfeng bought for her and used the silk scarf he gave her to create a hairstyle. However, she ended up wearing a hat on her head and her dress was blocked by Huo Chengfeng's coat.
Shi Mingzhu was so depressed that she concentrated on dressing up but ended up being worse than not dressing up.
"You only have to wear it for a short distance and avoid being exposed to the wind. You can take off your hat and coat once you get on the bus." Huo Chengfeng saw her disappointment and comforted her.
Shi Mingzhu nodded reluctantly. Her body was her own, so she just had to bear with it.
Huo Chengfeng smiled and rubbed Shi Mingzhu's face gently with his big hands. The latter frowned slightly. His hands had calluses and they scratched her face, making it itchy.
But she still couldn't help smiling, like a beautiful and fragrant flower, her whole body filled with sweetness.
She was very happy with Huo Chengfeng's act of comforting her. Huo Chengfeng was also very happy. He clenched his fists lightly and worked like a tireless ox.
After he had packed up, Shi Mingzhu put her hands in her pockets, followed him and Yu Meizhen out of the hospital with a smile on her face.
Huo Chengfeng had already completed the discharge procedures in advance.
After leaving the hospital, Shi Mingzhu was taken to a black Dongfeng sedan.
Huo Chengfeng opened the car door and let her get in.
Shi Mingzhu got on the car in shock and quietly asked Huo Chengfeng, "Where did you find this?" She had never ridden in this car in her previous life.
"I borrowed it from a comrade-in-arms named Ji Shaoyuan."
"Is this his private car?" Shi Mingzhu widened his eyes and even slowed down to take off his hat.
Huo Chengfeng nodded and adjusted her seat, repeatedly confirming whether she was sitting comfortably. After adjusting the seat, he said, "I don't know where he went. He is driving today. You will see him later."
Shi Mingzhu nodded and waited for the owner to come back while watching curiously in the car.
Anyone who could afford a car at that time was very wealthy.
"Your comrade..."
Huo Chengfeng understood what she meant. He spoke while carefully observing Shi Mingzhu's expression, "He retired three years ago, and then went to the south to do business. He made some money a year ago and bought this car." If Shi Mingzhu knew about Ji Shaoyuan's situation, he would definitely bring trouble to himself, and she would definitely persuade him.
Sure enough, when Huo Chengfeng heard the word "retire", Shi Mingzhu's eyes lit up. She pressed his shoulder and asked him excitedly, "Why didn't you retire then?"
However, the next second, the excitement on her face disappeared in an instant, and she took back her hand from her shoulder. She said to herself, "I forgot what you said. You like the army very much and don't want to quit for the time being."
"Mingzhu..." Huo Chengfeng opened his mouth and called out, not knowing how to respond.
The reason had been explained, but now, the feeling of helplessness and guilt invaded him again.
Yu Meizhen watched the two of them fall into this awkward situation again, sighed silently, hugged her luggage bag, and simply turned her head to look out the car window.
This glance made her discover her husband, Huo Jiafeng.
"Chengfeng, look, is that your dad?" Yu Meizhen spoke, interrupting the awkward atmosphere between the two.
She pointed outside the car and saw a figure walking towards the hospital carrying some fruit.
Shi Mingzhu looked in the direction he was pointing and saw her father-in-law Huo Jiafeng and Huo Chengyu standing beside him.
"Your father should be here to visit Mingzhu and Yangyang."
"Then why is Huo Chengyu here?" Shi Mingzhu did not hide her dislike for Huo Chengyu and her dislike for him. "I slapped her twice, and she holds a grudge against me. She can't be here to see me, right?"
For the first time, she hoped that Huo Chengfeng's comrade-in-arms Ji Shaoyuan would come back soon and drive away!
Yu Meizhen's face turned unhappy after hearing this. She knew that her daughter was beaten, but she was beaten because her daughter had a dirty mouth. Her daughter was at fault first, so she did not seek any justice for her daughter.
But she thought that the slapping incident should be over, and the fact that her daughter came to visit her sister-in-law showed that she was willing to reconcile. She didn't expect a smiling face, and she felt that a nodding acquaintance was fine.
So she explained on behalf of her daughter, "Cheng Yu naturally came along to visit you and Yang Yang."
Shi Mingzhu chuckled twice, closed her eyes, and looked like she didn't want to communicate.
Yu Meizhen looked at her son and said, "Chengfeng, your father still recognizes Yangyang as his grandson."
Huo Chengfeng had a hunch that there were some things he didn't know, and Mingzhu might not tell him when he asked, so he might as well ask his father directly.
"I'll go down and tell Dad and Cheng Yu, and let them take the bus back to town by themselves." As he said this, he looked at Shi Mingzhu and found that she frowned when he said she was going to get off the bus.
He sighed inwardly, handed the child to his mother, then looked at Shi Mingzhu again and got out of the car.
After Huo Chengfeng got off the car, Yangyang suddenly started crying. No matter how Yu Meizhen is coaxed, it doesn't work.
Shi Mingzhu opened her eyes and held Yangyang in her arms to comfort him.
Huo Chengfeng quickly caught up with his father. The father and son stood together, talking about something. Shi Mingzhu looked down at her son. He stopped crying and looked at her with his bright black eyes. "When your dad comes back, keep crying. The louder you cry, the better. And it would be best if you peed on your dad!"
Yu Meizhen looked at her. This daughter-in-law once again opened her eyes.
He is a very vengeful person. But love and hate are very frank.
Huo Chengfeng came back with his comrade-in-arms Ji Shaoyuan.
After they got in the car, Shi Mingzhu immediately gave Yangyang to Huo Chengfeng, and then ignored him. Yangyang did not let Shi Mingzhu down. The moment he saw his father, his mouth pouted instantly and he looked like he was about to cry.
But he didn't cry out loud, so he looked like a pitiful little thing. Huo Chengfeng, the old father, felt sad and soft.
When he was too busy to take care of her, Mingzhu ignored him and was busy coaxing her son.
Shi Mingzhu glanced at her son and knew that he didn't need her to worry about him, so she started talking to Huo Chengfeng's comrades. Ji Shaoyuan was a cheerful person. Although it was the first time they met, they had a very pleasant conversation.
Shi Mingzhu learned that he was one year younger than Huo Chengfeng, and that he set up a stall to do business in Pengcheng. When he first arrived in Pengcheng, he did everything, selling tickets at the train station, selling tea eggs on the roadside, working in a factory, and washing dishes. Now he mainly does clothing business, selling fashionable clothing from the port city to the mainland.
Shi Mingzhu listened to him talking all the way and had a good first impression of him. He was a man who dared to think and act. No wonder he could make a name for himself.
"I believe your career will become bigger and bigger in the future!"
Ji Shaoyuan was delighted when he heard this. "Thank you, sister-in-law. When I return to Pengcheng someday, I will send you some beautiful clothes. Many people don't believe me, including my parents. I didn't expect you to believe me so much."
"Thank you very much. Maybe I can buy it from you. You may be the man who controls the fashion trends in mainland China in the future."
Ji Shaoyuan laughed out loud when he heard this. He admitted directly, "Sister-in-law, your praise makes me feel really good. I feel really good!"
Shi Mingzhu was so confident because she had lived a few decades longer in her previous life and believed that the country's economy would only get better and better in the future, but she was also amused by Ji Shaoyuan's words.
When Huo Chengfeng heard this, he turned his head to look at Shi Mingzhu. Her eyes were curved with laughter, and she was looking straight ahead, unaware of his gaze.
Huo Chengfeng watched and felt very uncomfortable.
The comrade in front was still laughing happily. He turned his head to look in the direction of Ji Shaoyuan, but because of the driver's seat back blocking his view, he could only see half of his red face.
“…”
The discomfort I felt just now is even more uncomfortable now. Didn't I just compliment you? Why so excited?
Shouldn't we talk to him too? Why only chat with Shi Mingzhu?
Huo Chengfeng stared at the seat back with burning eyes. At the same time, he was waiting for Ji Shaoyuan to ask him.
But he waited and waited, and all he heard was Yangyang crying.
Yangyang suddenly started crying, and the conversation slowly stopped. Huo Chengfeng looked at his son helplessly. Shi Mingzhu looked at the father and son. Seeing that Huo Chengfeng was taking care of his son in an orderly manner, she was no longer anxious and leaned back in the chair silently.
Huo Chengfeng was glad that Yangyang drank milk powder, so he made some milk powder and fed it to him, and the little guy calmed down again.
Soon, voices were heard again in the carriage.
Huo Chengfeng held his son and listened to the two people talking without interrupting, but occasionally turned his head to look at Shi Mingzhu.
But in the end, he couldn't help it. The two of them became happier and happier as they talked, and he went from staring occasionally to staring all the time.
He wanted to see when Shi Mingzhu would notice him looking at her.
But in the end he was disappointed. Shi Mingzhu seemed to be against him. His gaze was so obvious, but she just refused to look at him!
Huo Chengfeng looked at his son, who knew nothing, looked carefree, and was sleeping soundly with his eyes closed.
He also closed his eyes, he was so angry. Did Shi Mingzhu know that he was angry?
