After Cui Chunmei finished eating, Li Chu took her pulse. It wasn't a big problem; she was slightly malnourished, which was something she had developed before getting married, but it had improved a lot since then.
She was given some medication to help prevent miscarriage, and then she stopped sitting there. He Yuzhu was also going to work soon.
The couple saw Li Chu off. Only after Cui Chunmei stepped out of the house did she see four dogs sitting obediently at her door, not moving around.
After watching the person leave, the couple returned home.
"Zhu Zi, is this Brother Chu the leader of the military hospital you mentioned?"
Yes, that's right.
"But he looks younger than you."
"He looks young, but he's more than half a year older than me. And this guy's medical skills are amazing. He examined you and said you were fine, which put my mind at ease."
"Is it really that exaggerated?" Cui Chunmei looked at her husband with some disbelief.
"You know that old couple who used to live in that courtyard, right?"
"Yes, I know. I've met him twice."
"When the old lady was young, she came here as a refugee during a famine. She injured her body and couldn't get pregnant. The old man consulted many doctors about this, but to no avail."
Later, Li Chu treated her. The woman was already fifty at the time, and it only took six months. Now her son is almost ready to get married.
He Yuzhu quickly cleared away the bowls from the table where they had just finished eating, and then continued, "I don't know why, but it seems like this guy isn't seeing patients anymore. Many people want to see him but can't find him."
"Didn't you say that he's a leader now, how could he still be seeing patients?"
He Yuzhu smacked his lips and shook his head: "I don't think that's the reason. There must be something else going on. It's very difficult to find him now. Even in his office, if you go there ten times, he probably won't be there eight times."
Just like last year, he went on a business trip to the southwest.
"Isn't that normal? What's wrong with going on official business?" Cui Chunmei didn't quite understand what was so strange about it.
"Is that normal?" He Yuzhu stared wide-eyed at his wife. "She's gone to the front lines!"
Only then did Cui Chunmei understand what her husband meant by going to the southwest.
He Yuzhu didn't continue talking about that, but instead instructed her, "I've prepared lunch. Just heat it up when you're done eating. Leave the bowls there quickly after you finish eating, and I'll clean them up when I get back. You should rest well. I'll buy the medicine I just got when I come back this afternoon."
"Ugh, I know. I have to remind you every day. It's so annoying."
Although Cui Chunmei said she was annoyed, she was secretly very happy; the barely concealed smile on her lips betrayed her.
Devour
She is now truly grateful that she chose this older man. He is caring, cooks well, and doesn't have any weird or bad habits.
Moreover, she is good to the children; she feels that none of the children's biological fathers could compare to her.
After Li Chu led the dog out of He Yuzhu's house, he headed home.
Thinking about everything he had just seen, he smiled and shook his head.
Who would have thought that He Yuzhu's long wait for Qin Huairu, which lasted for more than a decade, would end in divorce?
But then he turned around and found someone so young, who, despite having two daughters, was now pregnant with his child.
Most importantly, this woman is young; she's more than ten years younger than Qin Huairu.
This is fate, destiny.
If Qin Huairu had considered He Yuzhu even a little bit back then, it probably wouldn't have ended in divorce.
He Yuzhu made a very good move by changing houses and moving out of that courtyard. If he had stayed there, even if he had married Cui Chunmei, Qin Huairu would probably have caused chaos in his home.
He slowly strolled home. He had been gone for quite a while, and Ding Qiunan had even gotten up and eaten with the three children.
"Where did you go? Why did it take you so long?"
Ding Qiunan, who was washing dishes at the sink, looked up when she saw several dogs run in.
"Guess who I bumped into when I went out just now?"
? ? ?
This stumped Ding Qiunan. How was she supposed to guess? She could only roll her eyes at her husband and say, "That's boring."
"Hehe," Li Chu said casually, leaning closer to his wife. "I bumped into He Yuzhu while I was out for a walk. His new home isn't far from here."
Unexpectedly, Ding Qiunan nodded directly: "Yeah, I know."
You know?
“Of course I know. He hurriedly exchanged the property with someone else before registering the property last year. It’s in the third alley to the north, closer to Xiao’e’s house. Xu Damao introduced him to that house.”
"Wow, there are so many things I didn't know!"
"Who told you to be gone for almost a year? Isn't it normal for something to happen during such a long time?"
Ding Qiunan's tone was full of resentment.
She was quite unhappy about her man's departure.
What could Li Chu do? He was at his wit's end.
Given his superior's orders, did he have any other choice but to obey?
Fortunately, Ding Qiunan only threw a small tantrum to add some spice to the couple's relationship; she was unlikely to do anything excessive.
Li Chu walked up behind his wife, who was washing dishes, and hugged her from behind.
With a loud crash, his hug startled Ding Qiunan so much that she dropped the plate.
"What are you doing? The baby is still here!" She didn't dare to shout loudly, and could only say in a low voice.
"Yes, yes, is there a problem with me hugging my own wife?"
"Oh, okay, okay, let go of me now."
Seeing that his wife's ears were red with embarrassment, Li Chu didn't dare to tease her any further and let go of her hand, walking to the side.
You're so annoying!
Ding Qiunan rolled her eyes at her husband, dropped the rag in her hand, and walked into the house.
Li Chu stared wide-eyed at his wife's unnaturally hunched legs. "Really? Are they that sensitive?" he thought. "She must have eaten a lot last night."
However, it was broad daylight and the children were still at home. Although he was tempted, he forced himself to resist and went to the sink to finish washing the unfinished dishes.
After a while, Ding Qiunan came out of the house, and he had almost finished washing the dishes.
"Honey, have you met He Yuzhu's girlfriend yet?"
“I’ve met him once! He came to let me know in advance, so I couldn’t refuse. I went on my wedding day and gave him a thermos as a gift.”
Wow, his wife is really generous.
Li Chu was speechless. One yuan in cash was too much for luggage, yet she gave him a thermos.
"I think his new wife looks pretty good, better than Qin Huairu," Ding Qiunan said before her husband could finish his rambling.
She wasn't wrong about that. At He Yuzhu's house earlier, although she didn't talk much with his wife, she did seem nicer than Qin Huairu.
