When the plane landed, Mu Huaixi received Lin Yi's sincere thanks - a suitcase full of US dollars.
"Doctor Mu, you not only saved old Bacon, but also saved a plane full of people." Lin Yi said at the time that he could fly a plane. In fact, he could only fly a small helicopter, but in order to ensure stable driving, he had to bite the bullet and go ahead. He didn't expect that Doctor Mu was so powerful and directly saved old Bacon who had fainted due to a myocardial infarction.
Ever since he heard his girlfriend's vivid story, he has been thinking in his mind that if he could recruit Mu Huaixi to his team, wouldn't that be safer than buying insurance?
Who doesn’t want a life-saving doctor by their side?
But he also knew that Mu Huaixi was wearing a military uniform and belonged to the military district. People like him were the hardest to poach, so he had to send some gifts in the name of gratitude. If you want to poach people, don't you have to loosen up the ground first?
Mu Huaixi was completely unaware of Lin Yi's attempt to poach her boyfriend. She refused the thank-you fee, but after arriving at her in-laws' residence in the capital, she found the box in her luggage.
"So many dollars?" Her mother-in-law, Li Xiangzhi, was born in Shanghai and is a dancer active abroad.
When she stood in front of the house to greet her, Mu Huaixi didn't realize that it was her mother-in-law, but thought she was a relative. It is no exaggeration to say that when the two stood together, they looked more like sisters than mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Li Xiangzhi was wearing a cheongsam made of dark-patterned scented gauze, with her long hair tied up with a hairpin. She looked delicate and graceful, and standing beside him actually aroused Mu Huaixi's desire to protect her.
She is not tall, but has very good proportions, although she is a little thin. The cheongsam, which should be graceful, looks a bit ethereal and fairy-like on her.
Mu Huaixi had never come into contact with such a person before, and was a little scared when they first met. But after entering the door, drinking the tea she made for her, and chatting for a few words, he got used to the fact that he had a fairy mother-in-law.
At this time, her mother-in-law asked her about the dollars, and she told him the truth, "Don't worry, I will return it to him right away."
Although US dollars are good, they have to be held in a safe place. If you accept them, you may be reported and investigated before you even receive the prize.
"Most foreigners are like this. They don't care about favors, and they'll even pay for saving a life," Li Xiangzhi said, squatting beside the suitcase. "Is this the Malay Lin family? They've had only one son for generations, and they're very thrifty."
Mu Huaixi did not tell her mother-in-law the details of the mission, but only said that she had come here by military plane. Unexpectedly, her mother-in-law could guess that it was the Lin family just by looking at the suitcase.
"Here is the Lin family emblem." Seeing her daughter-in-law in a daze, Li Xiangzhi couldn't help but pat her head and pointed to the corner of the suitcase to show her.
Mu Huaixi moved the suitcase and saw the family crest pattern in the flickering light. He couldn't help but be amazed. These rich people are sometimes high-profile and sometimes low-key.
"Then...what do you think we should do?" Mu Huaixi opened her mouth, but still couldn't call out "Mom". She was fine calling grandpa and grandma, but she had never lived with Li Xiangzhi, so she really couldn't call them that.
Li Xiangzhi didn't care. She picked up a wad of dollars and looked at it. There were quite a lot of them. "Wait until Lao Ying... well, your father-in-law comes back and takes a look. We're short of dollars right now. You can hand these over. You can do whatever you want with the money you get back, or you can keep some. We can go to the Friendship Store later."
"Hmm? Oh, okay." Mu Huaixi didn't expect that the thing that bothered her was just a trivial matter in the eyes of her mother-in-law. Her relaxed attitude made her feel relieved.
"Okay," her mother-in-law hung all her clothes in the closet, frowning a little dissatisfiedly, "Xiao Xi, you are so young, why are you dressed so simply? Let's go shopping tomorrow!"
Mu Huaixi was a little surprised. All her clothes over the years were custom-made by her grandmother on Shengjing Street. The styles might not be as good as those in the capital, but the colors were very young and fresh. How could they be described as simple?
Li Xiangzhi obviously didn't think so. She frowned as she carried Mu Huaixi's everyday shirt and pants and arranged tomorrow's itinerary without allowing any objection. "I'll take you shopping for clothes tomorrow morning, go to Shichahai in the afternoon, and pick them up in the evening."
Mu Huaixi nodded, packed her luggage, and went to her room to rest.
The bedroom that Li Xiangzhi prepared for her was very large, with its own dressing room and bedroom. There was also a crib next to the big bed, which was obviously prepared for little Heping.
Her mother-in-law has an excellent aesthetic sense. The whole room is in American style, with dark wallpaper and wooden floors, but the soft gauze curtains and light green bedding with floral patterns make the bedroom space light and airy.
The warm sunlight shone through the gauze curtains, warm but not dazzling. She fell asleep in a short while. When she woke up from the heat, she found herself in Ying Mingcheng's arms.
She looked at the swaying light spots above her head, then looked at the person lying beside her, and inexplicably felt a sense of peace and tranquility.
All in all, they haven't seen each other for a month.
The Qilu Military Region is much closer than Jiangcheng, but she has to go to school, prepare for exams, and take care of the kids, while he has to lead the troops, train, and go on missions. They are both too busy to take care of each other, and only an occasional phone call can ease their longing for each other.
"Why are you here?" Mu Huaixi pinched his tall nose, blocking his breathing.
Ying Mingcheng frowned and opened his mouth, obviously not wanting to wake up from his dream. Mu Huaixi was amused by his appearance and laughed. She reached out to cover his mouth, but her palm was bitten unexpectedly.
Mu Huaixi groaned and gently punched his chest, "You're awake, but you still don't open your eyes?"
"Sleep a little longer," Ying Mingcheng held her in his arms, grabbed her restless hands, put them together, stuffed them into his mouth and bit them again and again, then asked vaguely, "Did your plane crash last night?"
"You know?" Mu Huaixi was a little scared when she thought about it. She snuggled into Ying Mingcheng's arms, feeling quite terrified. "I'd better take the train from now on. Planes are too scary."
"Hmm," Ying Mingcheng was also filled with fear. He heard the news when he arrived at the military region this morning. He quickly asked for leave and came back to take a look.
Director Niu kept praising Dr. Mu in front of him for her calmness and meticulousness in the face of danger, and for being able to detect something was wrong from the change in the smell in the cabin air flow. He also praised her for her amazing acupuncture skills and for saving the patient with myocardial infarction in the golden time.
Director Niu praised enthusiastically, but he felt distressed when he heard it.
Xiao Xi remained calm in the face of danger because she had been trained on the battlefield, and also because she always focused on treating patients and ignored herself.
He still remembered that after encountering the plane on the battlefield, the camp was surrounded by several angry mines dropped by the enemy.
There was a raging bombardment outside, but she was stitching in the vibrating operating room without her hands shaking.
"Alas," Ying Mingcheng still felt distressed when he thought about it again, but this was their job, and no one knew when they would encounter danger.
The only comfort is a big hug.
