After a brief silence, Qin Yanzheng continued, "Regardless of what you think, as your husband... I feel sorry for your sister-in-law. I feel sorry for her after a long day at work, when she should be resting at home."
But because you're worrying about everything at home, you can't relax. Honestly, even if you don't feel sorry for her, don't you feel ashamed?
"I really didn't lie!"
Qin Yaxin stuck to what she had said before.
"you……"
Qin Yanzheng couldn't help but doubt himself. Could it be that he had misread it before?
Second sister didn't lie?
"I do care about my sister-in-law. Since I moved here with her to the machinery factory, I've been trying my best to make changes. You've seen all of that, brother!"
Having lived in Beijing before, she had hardly ever done any housework, at most washing her own underwear.
But now, she has to wash all her clothes by hand, and she also has to help her sister-in-law with other housework when she has free time. Compared to her previous life, it is no exaggeration to describe it as the complete opposite.
"Second sister, I hope you are telling the truth, but you'd better think carefully about what I just said. If I find out that what you said today is not true, and something happens to you outside because you didn't tell the truth, you will have to bear the consequences yourself."
Qin Yanzheng left those words expressionlessly, then turned and left the kitchen.
living room.
"I have something to tell you."
Seeing Qin Yanzheng enter the living room, Song Lan pointed to the seat next to her, indicating that Qin Yanzheng should sit down.
There was no one else in the living room at the moment, just Song Lan and Qin Yanzheng, the couple.
"What's up?"
Qin Yanzheng sat down and asked casually.
"I received a call from my grandfather when I got home from get off work..."
After recounting what Grandpa Chen had said on the phone, Song Lan added, "Grandpa asked me to discuss this with you. If you have no objections, I'll give him a definite answer."
"This is a serious matter, and I have no reason to disagree."
Qin Yanzheng's eyes softened: "Actually, you don't need to discuss this with me at all."
"You're my husband, and out of respect, I have to tell you. Otherwise, how can we live together as a couple?"
If a couple lacks even basic respect for each other and doesn't share their thoughts about what they do, their marriage is unlikely to last.
"My wife is so good to me!"
Qin Yanzheng held Song Lan's hand in his palm and said with a smile, "Don't worry about going to Beijing. Mom is here at home. I'll come back as soon as I get off work and make sure nothing happens at home."
"I'll remember that!"
Song Lan gave the man a meaningful look, and then said, "I don't know the exact number of days I'll be in Beijing right now, but I'll call home once I get there and decide on a date."
Qin Yanzheng nodded to indicate that he understood, and then asked, "When are you leaving?"
"Before hanging up, Grandpa said he would call me again around 8:30 p.m. I told him that he was very supportive of my trip to Beijing, and he would tell me when to leave."
Song Lan paused for a moment, then said, "I estimate the latest it will be is tomorrow afternoon."
Qin Yanzheng: "Is time so tight?"
"Although Grandpa didn't explicitly say on the phone whether the old men's condition was critical, the fact that he called me and I could hear some urgency in his tone suggests that the old men's condition is probably not very optimistic."
At this point, Song Lan's mood became somewhat heavy. She said, "Life is fragile, but also tenacious. However, from a medical perspective, life is actually very fragile, and the shell fragments remaining in the bodies of these old men..."
If it weren't so difficult to remove, doctors could have performed the surgery a long time ago, ensuring their lives wouldn't be threatened.
However, the fact remains that those remaining shell fragments have not been removed to this day, indicating that it wasn't that the surgeons didn't want to, but rather that it was simply impossible to complete the surgery without threatening the heroes' lives.
"Are you...are you sure you can do it?"
Qin Yanzheng couldn't hide his worry: "This is a matter of life and death. If you're not very confident, I don't recommend you have that surgery."
"Don't worry, I wouldn't agree to do it if I wasn't confident."
Song Lan smiled. She would never risk other people's lives; it was a matter of professional ethics for a doctor!
"As long as you have a good understanding of it, that's fine."
Qin Yanzheng tightened his grip on Song Lan's hand, his gaze softening, and said, "If you're leaving tomorrow, I'll have Yang Fan drive you there."
"No need. I'll take the bus to the county town, and then take the train directly from there. It won't take more than a few hours to get to Beijing."
There's a small train station in the county town, making it very convenient to take the train.
The two sat chatting in the living room. In the kitchen, Qin Yaxin washed the dishes and tidied up the kitchen before returning to her room.
She sat down in the chair, staring blankly for a while, before taking out her unfinished homework from her schoolbag.
But as time ticked by, Qin Yaxin held her pen but didn't write a single word on her notebook.
At that moment, a tall, slender figure flashed into her mind. The owner of this figure was a male classmate who transferred to her school in September, about half a month into her first year of high school.
The other party's surname is Gu, and his given name is Xingchen.
Qin Yaxin thought the name sounded nice, and Gu Xingchen was handsome and had a scholarly air about him, so she felt a good impression of him almost at first sight.
However, as a girl, Qin Yaxin was expected to be reserved, so she didn't try to get close to Gu Xingchen, nor did she try to strike up a conversation with him like the other girls in the class did, always making excuses to ask questions.
Unexpectedly, just one afternoon a week ago, Qin Yaxin had lunch at home and rode her bicycle to school.
When she entered the classroom and sat down in her seat, she took out her political textbook from her desk drawer to prepare for the first class of the afternoon. As soon as she opened the book, she saw a piece of paper tucked inside.
The paper was folded into a paper crane and placed between the pages of her book.
Qin Yaxin felt her heart pounding. She didn't immediately unfold the origami cranes, but first carefully observed whether any classmates were paying attention to her. Only when she saw that no one was looking in her direction did she begin to unfold them.
To avoid being noticed by her classmates, Qin Yaxin simply stood the book upright on the desk in front of her to block their view.
As the origami crane was unfolded, Qin Yaxin immediately noticed the flowing yet powerful handwriting on it. Almost instantly, she thought of someone: Gu Xingchen.
Because Gu Xingchen was in charge of creating the bulletin board for their class, and she had a crush on Gu Xingchen, she naturally couldn't help but pay attention to him, and thus became quite familiar with Gu Xingchen's handwriting on the bulletin board.
Furthermore, she had once flipped through Gu Xingchen's notebooks in the Chinese teacher's office and was deeply attracted by his handwriting.
Therefore, upon seeing the writing on the origami cranes, Qin Yaxin could almost conclude that the origami cranes were related to Gu Xingchen.
The letter took up most of the page, and before she had even finished reading it, Qin Yaxin felt her face flush and her heart race.
