"That being said, I've been working for several years now, so I'm naturally very familiar with the job. As for other aspects, I've also become quite familiar with them in the last two days, so I shouldn't encounter any tricky situations on the night shift."
Song Lan didn't plan to tell her family about being temporarily transferred to the security department, to avoid causing any trouble. After all, she had been transferred from the General Steel Plant's Staff Hospital in Beijing to this branch hospital, and everyone knew she should be a nurse, not a member of the security department.
"Since you put it that way, I won't say anything more. However... you should be extra careful when you're on night duty. If you encounter anything that you can't control, go to the on-duty doctor."
Qin Yanzheng gave instructions.
"I know."
Song Lan responded with a smile.
"Go read your book."
Qin Yanzheng said something.
Upon hearing this, Song Lan responded "Okay" and continued reading from the page she had been looking at. If there was anything she didn't understand, she would read it aloud first and then ask Qin Yanzheng for an explanation.
After Qin Yanzheng finished explaining, she immediately picked up a piece of scrap paper and started doing calculations.
The atmosphere between the two was harmonious and warm. Seeing this scene, Wu Dong couldn't help but feel envious. He thought that Song Lan and Qin Yanzheng were a match made in heaven. Both of them were good-looking and very capable. He thought that their life together would definitely be very happy in the future.
Thinking this, Wu Dong looked away, put the stick back in its original position, and then walked to the tap to wash away the sweat on his head.
I wonder what his other half will be like?
Yes, Wu Dong is not married yet; to be more precise, he doesn't have a girlfriend yet.
Actually, Wu Dong is twenty-three years old. Because his hometown was remote and poor, he left home to join the army at the age of sixteen. To ease the burden on his family, he would send half of his monthly allowance to them.
The remaining half, after covering daily expenses, is saved for myself to start a family.
Wu Dong knew that he had many brothers and sisters, and with their children, he was the only one living away from home. They looked forward to him sending his allowance back every month, hoping that his parents could save money for him to get married.
To be honest, Wu Dong had no hope of that.
So he thought he could find someone outside who wouldn't mind that he came from a rural background or that he wasn't well-educated, as long as he was willing to live a good life with her. He had no other requirements for the woman.
Time passed quickly as Song Lan read and asked Qin Yanzheng questions. Around 11 a.m., Song Lan closed her book and went to the kitchen to prepare lunch, while Qin Yanzheng was pushed back to his room by Wu Dong and carefully placed on the bed.
"Comrade Qin, would you like to take a nap?"
"No, let's just chat casually."
Upon hearing this, Wu Dong sat down in the chair next to Qin Yanzheng's bed: "What does Comrade Qin want to talk about? I'll tell you everything I know."
"No need to be so serious, we're just chatting casually."
Qin Yanzheng smiled and asked, "Are you married?"
"No."
Wu Dong answered.
"What does the object do?"
Not being married doesn't mean you don't have a partner, Qin Yanzheng thought to himself, and said, "I don't want to pry into your privacy, I just want to chat with you casually."
"I know."
Wu Dong was relaxed at the moment. He said, "My family lives in a remote mountainous area where the land is barren and everyone lives in poverty. But every family has a lot of children, and my family is no exception."
After a brief pause, Wu Dong continued with a wry smile, "I left home to join the army when I was sixteen. My family couldn't make ends meet, so I chose to enlist. In any case, it would save my family some food and allow me to send some allowance home every month to supplement the family income. I could also have enough to eat myself."
"It will be alright."
Qin Yanzheng said, "The country is developing, and one day, everyone will be able to have enough to eat."
Wu Dong hummed in agreement and said with a smile, "Actually, compared to when I left home, our family's life is much better now, just like the surrounding villagers. This is all thanks to the country."
"Yes, our country is great."
Qin Yanzheng spoke gently, and asked with a smile, "Are you feeling that you're being wasted your talents by being assigned to take care of me?" Sensing the teasing tone in his voice, Wu Dong answered decisively, "I was very happy to receive the assignment, and I haven't experienced any discomfort."
"But I feel that you taking care of me is a waste of your talents."
These were Qin Yanzheng's true feelings. Upon hearing this, Wu Dong said, "Comrade Qin is very important to the country, and it is my honor to take care of you."
"The country nurtured me, and I was just doing my duty. There's no question of whether it's important or not. On the contrary... on the contrary, I was injured due to carelessness, which caused trouble for the country."
"Comrade Qin, there's no need to say that. The leaders are very happy that you've woken up and hope that you can recover soon and continue to contribute to the country's development."
"Are the leaders like them alright?"
"I'm fine!"
Wu Dong smiled, then Qin Yanzheng steered the conversation back to his marriage: "What are your requirements for a partner, Comrade Wu?"
"My conditions are what they are, how could I dare to make demands on other women?" Wu Dong said casually. "However, I still have a little hope that she won't look down on me because my family is poor, and that we can live a good life together."
Qin Yanzheng: "That's it?"
Wu Dong: "Well, that's all. This is what I'm thinking: since she doesn't mind that my family is poor and is willing to live a good life with me, then her character must be pretty good. In that case, I'm willing to marry her and live a good life together."
"Then I'll have your sister-in-law keep an eye out for you. If she finds someone suitable, she'll introduce them to you. What do you think?"
Okay, Qin Yanzheng and Wu Dong talked for so long, there must be some ulterior motive behind it.
Although he doesn't know what his wife looks like, he can tell from her words and actions that she is a very good woman. However, the problem is that he and his wife are only legally married, that is, married in name only.
If... if his wife Song Lan falls in love with someone else before he recovers and can see her again, and then files for divorce, what should he, as her legal husband, do?
Call him a petty person. He's blind and can't walk, so he can't help but think about all sorts of things. Plus, he can sense that Wu Dong is a very good guy. After spending so much time together and seeing how good Song Lan is, it's hard to guarantee that the other party won't develop some kind of idea.
After all, "a fair maiden is the object of a gentleman's affections."
As Qin Yanzheng was lost in thought, he heard Wu Dong say, "If Comrade Song introduces me to someone, I will definitely thank her properly!" Being men, Wu Dong could easily understand the meaning behind Qin Yanzheng's words. He shook his head with a smile and said, "Comrade Qin, don't worry, I would never do anything immoral."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yanzheng couldn't help but feel embarrassed: "Comrade Wu, I... I didn't mean that, please don't misunderstand."
