"You've done a great job again, Comrade Mu!" Captain Wei enthusiastically grabbed her outstretched hand and shook it, then spoke before her, "Don't be so modest. I'm not planning on giving you a reward this time!"
She didn't intend to ask for any reward. The success of arresting the spy had at most a little bit to do with her. She only did the work of threading the needle. If the credit was still attributed to her, it would be too unfair to the soldiers who worked hard behind the scenes.
Mu Huaixi finally breathed a sigh of relief, but Political Commissar Li next to him continued, "The organization won't let anyone off the hook, especially those who have made contributions. The competition is about to begin, so how about giving you a big reward after the competition is over?"
Before Mu Huaixi could refuse, Ying Mingcheng came over and accepted it for her. "Commissar Li, it's not that it's not a big reward, but I won't agree. Huaixi has done too many things that are too important!"
"Look at you!" Captain Wei sighed inwardly, but he also didn't forget to tease Ying Mingcheng, "Whether the reward for Comrade Xiao Mu is big enough depends on you! If you can bring back all the awards from the military district competition, I'll even give myself to you!"
"..." Ying Mingcheng shook his head helplessly and turned to Political Commissar Li to complain, "Political Commissar, the regimental commander is shaking the morale of the troops."
Captain Wei was stunned for a long time before he realized what he meant. He smiled and cursed a few times.
Ying Mingcheng had already taken her hand and walked her out of the regiment headquarters. He had originally said he would walk her to the gate of the pass, but he did not stop after passing the guard post and walked her all the way to the health center.
"When are you leaving?"
"Just in the next few days." Ying Mingcheng didn't confirm the time, not because he wanted to keep it secret from her, but because the changes were indeed too big.
Mu Huaixi suddenly felt reluctant.
It had not been long since Ying Mingcheng went on his last mission. When he came back, he was busy catching spies and participating in competitions. He came back very late every night. Sometimes she turned over in the middle of the night and found that he had returned. More often, she fell asleep at night and he had not returned yet, and when she woke up, he was gone.
Only the breakfast on the stove and the clothes drying in the yard proved that he had returned.
But it is days like these that make her feel very happy. They both have their own jobs and are working hard for their careers.
He gently raised his hand, pinched a leaf from her ear, and instructed, "Someone will come to my house in a few days to help with the expansion. If you find it too noisy, would you like to stay in the guesthouse for a few days?"
"Why are you so spoiled?" Mu Huaixi smiled and shook her head. "Anyway, I'm not at home during the day, so you can't bother me at all."
She was called to the regiment headquarters after lunch. When she came out, it was almost two o'clock. There were not many people on the road, so she boldly held his hand.
Ying Mingcheng was a little surprised, but he still held her hand back. The warm wind flowed through their clasped hands. No one spoke, just like the peaceful and warm days.
"Okay, I'm here," Mu Huaixi's steps were not fast, but the clinic was indeed not far away. No matter how much Ying Mingcheng wanted to send her off, he stopped.
The two looked at each other for a long time, and Ying Mingcheng came up and touched her hair, "Go to work, I will be back early in the evening."
Mu Huaixi nodded, and just as she was about to enter the yard, she heard someone calling her name from behind.
"Doctor Mu, Doctor Mu!"
Mu Huaixi turned her head and was surprised to see Wang Xiaoshui's husband Hu Ziqiang.
"Deputy Captain Ying, are you here to send Doctor Mu to work?" Hu Ziqiang greeted Ying Mingcheng with a smile, and then handed him the rice dumplings in his hand.
"Doctor Mu, these are the five-flowered rice dumplings and sweet date rice dumplings my mother made. Please try them."
Mu Huaixi was a little surprised, but still took it from him with a smile, "The health center also packed a medicine bag with insect repellent powder in it. Wait here, I'll get it for you."
"No, no," Hu Ziqiang waved his hand to refuse, but he stopped when he heard Dr. Mu say that the medicine bag could be hung on the bedside for the child to use.
Ying Mingcheng took the bunch of rice dumplings and walked into the clinic. "I'll go get it. You talk to Hu Ziqiang."
Hu Ziqiang knew at a glance that Ying Mingcheng was not there just to give gifts. Thinking of his child's condition, Ying Mingcheng took the initiative to get the medicine bag, which earned him a grateful glance from Hu Ziqiang.
"Doctor Mu, thank you so much! Xiaoshui told me that you recently gave Xiaofeng moxibustion, and it was very effective," Hu Ziqiang said with gratitude. Word had spread throughout the camp that Song Ge's back had regained feeling, thanks to Doctor Mu. And even though Wang Xiaoshui had offended her so much before, she was still willing to treat Xiaofeng with all her heart. She truly was a compassionate doctor!
He has been very busy recently, but every night when he comes home he can smell the scent of herbs on Xiaofeng's body. Xiaoshui also said that his son's condition has improved a lot.
He was very grateful, so he asked his mother to make some rice dumplings and send them over quickly.
Mu Huaixi was stunned and subconsciously asked, "Who are you talking about? I gave Xiaofeng moxibustion? No, Xiaofeng hasn't been to the health center recently."
"No..." Hu Ziqiang said, his eyes wide open, pointing inside the clinic. "I brought Xiaofeng here for moxibustion after dinner. Did you miss seeing Doctor Mu?"
“…”
Mu Huaixi was no longer sure and walked towards the courtyard. "How about we go and take a look?"
"No need to look. There are no patients in the clinic now. There is only Dr. Jiang and two nurses." Ying Mingcheng came out with three medicine bags and heard their conversation from a distance.
"This, this is impossible!" Hu Ziqiang's face changed, his lips trembled, and he rushed directly to the clinic, but turned his head when he was about to reach the window, not daring to look inside.
Mu Huaixi and Ying Mingcheng looked at each other and hurriedly chased after him.
Mu Huaixi was completely puzzled. She didn't understand what the couple was arguing about. Wang Xiaoshui had indeed brought Xiaofeng to the health center, but that was a month ago.
She did suggest to Wang Xiaoshui that Xiaofeng could be treated with moxibustion or even acupuncture, but the treatment would be long and the effect would not be immediate.
What did Xiaofeng's mother say at that time? She said she was going home to ask her husband's opinion, and she hasn't seen him since then. She was also very busy recently and didn't notice that Xiaofeng hadn't come to the hospital for a long time.
Mu Huaixi glanced at the distraught Hu Ziqiang, still very confused in her heart. Why did Wang Xiaoshui lie to Hu Ziqiang using her name?
Isn’t it Xiaofeng who is delayed?
What exactly does she want?
The two of them stood beside Hu Ziqiang. She opened her mouth, not knowing what to say, but saw Hu Ziqiang's face change again, and he ran outside with gritted teeth.
"Don't run, I'll chase you." When Ying Mingcheng saw her raise her foot, he immediately stopped her and then raised his foot to chase after her.
The door of the clinic was also opened. Wang Xiaohua poked her head out in confusion, "What's wrong? Boss Mu, why don't you come in?"
