Chapter 679: The Male Leads a Soft Life (Thirty-nine)
"Expert Gu, this is the information you requested!"
A young man in his twenties walked into the ward carrying a large package.
He has a somewhat dark skin, is not tall, but has a very strong build.
The rolled-up sleeves of his military uniform revealed his muscular arms.
His arms are firm and muscular, and there are calluses on the palms and fingertips. You can tell at a glance that he is a trained soldier.
There was a slight accent from his hometown in his voice, and he looked honest and shy.
Only after entering the ward did he see Zhou Ziqin and Gu's mother.
Especially Zhou Ziqin, who is young, beautiful and elegant, and looks better than any other actress in the art troupe.
The young man's face turned red.
“I, I—”
He was a little at a loss, thinking about saying hello, but didn't know what to say.
It was Gu Qingcheng again. When she saw him come in, she smiled and introduced him to Zhou Ziqin and Gu's mother, "Xiaoqin, mother, this is the service staff that the leader arranged for me."
"His name is Xu Youliang, which means noon Xu. Those who have food at home have food."
Well, it’s a very simple name, and very characteristic of this era.
Gu's mother, who was also from the countryside, resonated with the topic and said, "Youliang? Oh, what a good name!"
It makes people feel at ease just by listening to it.
What could be better to look forward to than having food at home?
After hearing what Gu's mother said, Xu Youliang's dark red face became even redder.
Gu Qingcheng continued to introduce, "Youliang, this is my mother, you can just call her Aunt Gu."
Xu Youliang's tension seemed to be relieved, and he quickly said, "Hello, Auntie. I'm Xu Youliang, and the organization asked me to take care of Expert Gu."
Mother Gu's eyes flashed with excitement, and she nodded repeatedly, "Okay! Okay! You too!"
Oh, her son has really made progress and now he's become a waiter.
The state is still the best, it takes care of everything!
Her son is a real leader.
The more Mother Gu thought about it, the happier she became. All the negative emotions she had before seeing her son, such as fear, worry, heartache, etc., disappeared.
It’s not that Mother Gu is forgetful or only cares about her own interests, but the son in front of her is completely different from the “dying” she imagined.
Tsk, since you can read books now, it shouldn’t be a big problem.
Since her son was fine, Gu's mother finally put her mind at ease.
She even had the leisure to start thinking about some random things -
The county leader is so powerful, but he should only have one secretary.
Haha, my son has an attendant.
But he is better than those leaders!
It's a pity that my son can't go back to his hometown, otherwise, he would definitely let those people in his hometown see him! Well, it's not impossible! My son is so tired that he vomited blood. He needs to rest well. He can rest in the hospital or go back to his hometown.
or--
Mother Gu's thoughts were like a wild horse running wildly.
Gu Qingcheng glanced at her mother who seemed to be daydreaming, and curled the corners of her lips slightly.
She did not interrupt her mother's beautiful fantasy and continued to introduce her to the people present.
"There is food. This is my wife Zhou Ziqin. You can just call her Comrade Zhou!"
Gu Qingcheng silently calculated her age. Ahem, this body of hers and Zhou Ziqin's were both younger than Xu Youliang's.
Otherwise, he could just follow the custom and let Xu Youliang call Zhou Ziqin "Big Sister".
Big sister is no good, so let’s just call her comrade.
This title has not yet been stigmatized and is used by both men and women.
"Hello, Comrade Zhou!"
Xu Youliang's face turned even redder. Expert Gu was good-looking, and his lover was also good-looking.
Oh, this couple is even more perfect than a golden boy and a jade girl.
"Hello! Comrade Xu!"
Zhou Ziqin greeted politely.
Gu Qingcheng introduced Wei Ma again.
Wei's mother is more reserved. Strictly speaking, she is not a family member.
Xu Youliang didn't think much about it and just thought that Wei Ma was a distant relative of Comrade Zhou's family.
He was also very polite to Wei Ma.
"What kind of information is this? Who sent it?"
Once an introduction is made, it means we know each other.
Zhou Ziqin began to ask questions like a hostess.
Xu Youliang hurriedly said, "Comrade Zhou, this is the biology and medicine-related information that Expert Gu requested."
"Information on nearby cities is incomplete, so the leaders specifically sought help from experts in Beijing."
"…These were specially sent by old professors from Mizuki and Kyoto University."
"These are just a part of it, there's more to come!"
As Xu Youliang spoke, he put the package on the ground, found a pair of scissors, and started to disassemble it skillfully.
Judging from his skilled appearance, it is obviously not his first time doing this.
Zhou Ziqin looked at Gu Qingcheng with a slightly accusing look: Qingcheng, you are still a patient! How can you not pay attention to rest?
Gu Qingcheng pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, but she didn't forget to explain, "Xiaoqin, I know my limits!"
"Yes! You know your limits! So much so that you're about to vomit blood!"
Gu Qingcheng: "..."
After a moment of embarrassment, Gu Qingcheng said cautiously, "Xiaoqin, don't worry, I won't do this again next time."
"Do you want to have a next time?"
OK! Zhou Ziqin is now like a powder keg, and Gu Qingcheng is the "sinner".
Whatever you say is wrong!
Every sentence can accurately hit the mark.
Seeing Gu Qingcheng's embarrassed face, wanting to explain but afraid of angering her again, Zhou Ziqin's anger disappeared like a popped balloon.
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Ziqin sat down beside the bed and said, "I'm just scared!"
He was vomiting blood! His organs were severely damaged! The doctor described him as "paper-made", which shows how bad his health was.
As a result, he started tinkering with these things as soon as he opened his eyes. Is he going to live?
I know he is devoted to research and eager to serve his country, but he can't work so hard.
The body is the capital of revolution.
He has ruined his own health. Not only can he not contribute to the country, but he will also make his family sad... He is committing a crime!
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Thinking of the helplessness and panic when she received the call, and the fear she had experienced along the way, Zhou Ziqin felt sad and aggrieved, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
Seeing this, Gu Qingcheng hurriedly reached out to wipe his wife's tears.
"I was wrong! It's all my fault!"
"Xiaoqin, I'm sorry, I made you worry!"
“…I want to study biology and medicine, and also to improve my body.”
"I want to serve my country, and I also want to grow old with you!"
As she spoke, Gu Qingcheng began to confess her true feelings.
Gu's mother, Wei's mother and Xu Youliang: ...suddenly I felt that I shouldn't be standing here.
Xu Youliang looked at Gu's mother: Auntie, what should we do? Gu's mother looked at Xu Youliang: You idiot, what else can you do, get out of here! Wei's mother didn't know how to react.
The three of them exchanged glances and quickly reached a consensus.
They tiptoed out, not forgetting to close the door.
Gu Qingcheng and Zhou Ziqin were the only couple left in the single room.
Gu Qingcheng continued to speak softly, "I have a super brain, but this body cannot support its super operation."
"I can't not use it because it's a waste of resources."
"But I don't want to die either. Besides being afraid, I just can't bear to do it."
"I want to contribute to the development of my country, I want to change the world, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you."
"…If my body isn't strong enough, I'll use my abilities to change it!"
At this point, Gu Qingcheng held Zhou Ziqin's hand and said, "Ziqin, don't worry, there really won't be a next time."
"I don't want to die! I can't bear to leave our country, and I can't bear to leave you even more!"
Zhou Ziqin's suppressed emotions were being vented out, and tears were streaming down her fair and delicate face.
Hearing what Gu Qingcheng said, she was stunned, opened her hazy eyes and looked straight at Gu Qingcheng.
In this era, straightforward confessions like Gu Qingcheng's are relatively rare.
Even between husband and wife, they are more often revolutionary partners.
There is love, but more of it is responsibility.
Although Gu Qingcheng's words were quite implicit and she didn't say "I love you" directly, Zhou Ziqin understood what she meant.
I love our country and I love you too!
"It turns out that in Qingcheng's heart, there is the country, the career, and me!"
This kind of cognition is very fatal for a woman.
Zhou Ziqin was deeply moved.
"Um!"
Zhou Ziqin responded with a strong nasal tone. She grabbed Gu Qingcheng's hand with her backhand and put her face into her palm.
"Qingcheng, you have your plans, and I have my persistence!"
"I will stay by your side from now on, take care of you and watch over you. Even if you forget, I will remind you!"
Zhou Ziqin accepted all of her husband's sweet words.
But she will stick to her own ideas and will always stay with her husband.
Her husband protects the country, so she will protect her husband! ...
After some warmth, the couple finally returned to normal.
Gu's mother, Wei's mother and Xu Youliang, who had been eavesdropping at the door, also returned to the ward.
"Mom, Mother Wei, let's go buy some things. I want to give Qingcheng some good nourishment!"
Once Zhou Ziqin makes a decision, she will strictly implement it.
She took a look at Gu Qingcheng's thin appearance and a complete plan came to her mind.
Wei Ma nodded repeatedly, "I just asked and I can borrow the kitchen stove in the cafeteria."
"In addition, there is a market nearby. There are big markets on the third, sixth and ninth days of the lunar month. Today is the sixth day of the lunar month. Farmers and herdsmen from nearby areas will come to the market."
As an excellent "housekeeper", Wei Ma can always get the information she needs at the first time even when she is outside.
She had even made a list in her mind, what she needed to buy and what she needed to do, she had a plan for it all.
"Okay! Then let's go to the market."
After hearing what Wei Ma said, Zhou Ziqin felt more confident.
Wei Ma is still reliable. With her around, I feel much less worried.
Mother Gu: ...
It is a good thing that the daughter-in-law is rich and her dowry is capable.
As for her, just follow her!
The three women quickly reached an agreement and started to get busy.
Xu Youliang looked at their hurried backs and stretched out his hand: ...There's no need to be so troublesome. The cafeteria has meals for patients in the special care ward.
Although we can't eat as much meat and eggs as we want, we will definitely have a share for Gu the expert.
Zhou Ziqin & Wei Ma: ...
