Chapter 142
"I know, I will protect myself."
Lu Huaijing understood Tang Wan's uneasiness and held her hand tightly. This was the only promise he could give her.
After all, it is his duty to complete the mission.
Hearing this, Tang Wan nodded vigorously, but didn't say anything. She waited outside for about ten minutes.
Lu Huaili just wiped away her tears, Lu Huaijing went in to see his brother-in-law, and Lu Huaili held Tang Wan's hand.
"Third sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I may have to trouble you to help me look after Niuniu for a few days.
Weicheng can't leave me in his current situation, and there are some things that are inconvenient for the nurse to do.
I'm sorry to trouble you again."
"Huai Li, what are you talking about? We are all family. My brother-in-law is in this situation now, so we should help him if we can."
Tang Wan is not a heartless person, especially since Deng Weicheng is a soldier, she would help him even if he was a military dependent whom she didn't know.
What's more, she is Lu Huaijing's sister.
"Thank you!"
Lu Huaili's face was filled with gratitude. This third sister-in-law was better than she had imagined. She was suddenly glad that her third brother had persisted.
Third brother’s vision is not wrong.
"You take good care of your brother-in-law in the hospital. I'll go back and make some soup and feed it to him when he's able to drink."
Tang Wan still remembered that Lu Huaijing said that Deng Weicheng was injured three days ago.
It’s been so long since the surgery, I should be able to eat some liquid food.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Lu Huaili quickly took out some money from her pocket and said, "Sister-in-law, please help me buy some chicken and bones.
I've seen Weicheng's wounds. He lost so much blood that he needs to be healed."
The ticket includes military supplies. In fact, in Deng Weicheng's case, the army will also provide nutritional subsidies.
The injured soldiers must be allowed to recuperate.
"Okay, I'll go buy it."
Tang Wan did not refuse Lu Huaili's ticket. It was a one-sided matter. If she had just refused it.
If anyone has any problems in the future, they can ask her for help.
After a while, Lu Huaijing came out. Tang Wan thought for a moment and asked, "Can I go in and see him?"
Logically speaking, she and Deng Weicheng have no blood relationship, and lesbians and homosexuals should avoid suspicion.
But she thought of the spring water in space, so she wanted to help him.
Hearing this, Lu Huaili nodded naturally and said, "Thank you for your concern, Third Sister-in-law. You can go in."
She thought that Tang Wan was caring about her and her husband, and didn't think much about it.
Because of Deng Weicheng's special situation, he was still in a single room and there was no one else in the ward.
Although Deng Weicheng was seriously injured, he was still considerate and said, "Third sister-in-law."
At this time, he did not forget to say hello. Tang Wan smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, I came to see if you need anything else.
I will bring it back to you later. Huai Li will take care of you in the hospital."
Her eyes fell on the thermos next to the bed. There was one in each ward so that patients could drink water.
There was a military water bottle on the table, probably owned by Deng Weicheng.
"Thank you, sister-in-law. I may have to trouble you for a while."
Deng Weicheng's voice was still very weak, and Tang Wan said hurriedly: "Brother-in-law, you should keep your strength and have a good rest.
We are a family and we don’t have different opinions. We will take good care of Niuniu.”
As she spoke, she picked up the thermos, poured some water into the military kettle, and quietly added some spring water.
The effect of this spring water is not against nature, and it can also play a certain restorative role.
Adding Chinese medicine powder was too obvious, and Tang Wan didn't want to be caught.
After filling the water tank, she said to Deng Weicheng, "Brother-in-law, I'm going back first."
When she came out, Lu Huaijing had already talked to Lu Huaili, and Lu Huaili even gave her the key.
"I'll go to the hospital cafeteria to get some lunch at noon. Wife, you go back and clean up and wait for Xiao Du to come and get it."
Lu Huaijing considered everything carefully, so Tang Wan naturally didn't say much.
His troops had other things to do, so they went their separate ways from Tang Wan.
On the way back, Tang Wan took a detour to Maozhuang Brigade. Now everyone in the brigade knew that Tang Shi and Qin Su were her parents.
Although he looked at her normally, he didn't really say hello to her.
Tang Wan didn't care. She found Xinghua's mother and said, "Auntie, my brother-in-law was injured during the mission.
I want to exchange some chickens and eggs in your village. Can you help me ask?"
Xinghua Niang was sitting on the edge of the field drinking water. When she heard this, she asked in surprise, "How did you get hurt?"
"This is a military secret. I don't know either."
Tang Wan knew her limits and never asked Lu Huaijing these questions, let alone tell her superiors even if they asked.
Hearing this, Xinghua Niang slapped her thigh and said, "No matter how you got injured, it's all a contribution to our Flower Kingdom.
Don't worry, I'll take care of this. I'll go to the brigade and ask for you."
At that time, chickens were divided according to the number of people, and one person could only raise one chicken.
Therefore, every household raises very few chickens, and most people are reluctant to kill them for laying eggs.
"Thank you, ma'am."
Tang Wan stuffed a handful of money into Xinghua's mother's pocket and said, "It doesn't matter what it is, as long as you're willing to give it to me."
She also understood Xinghua Niang and knew that she would never let her down.
"You silly girl."
Xinghua Niang was really pleased. "This is helping good people. I'm happy to do it even if you don't give me money."
"That won't do. They insist on not taking even a single penny from the masses, and they can't afford to make mistakes."
Tang Wan emphasized this point, pointing at the banknotes and saying, "We can't treat our fellow villagers unfairly."
"Don't worry, I will definitely give you a fair price."
Xinghua's mother left quickly with the money in her hands, and Tang Wan sat on the edge of the field and watched everyone busying themselves.
After working so hard for so long, Tang Wan was actually a little hungry. She took a sandwich from the space using the cover of the cloth bag.
Afraid of being seen, she clenched her hands, ate quickly, and drank a gulp of water.
Seeing that no one noticed, he ate another egg.
After waiting for another ten minutes, she saw Xinghua's mother coming over with four chickens, and Xinghua followed behind her, carrying a basket.
"Comrade Tang, it's ready."
Xinghua Niang was good at speaking, and she softened the hearts of the people in the group with just a few words. She said with a smile:
"When we heard that it was for the injured soldiers to replenish their bodies, we wanted to give it to you for free.
Of course I refused and exchanged it for something at the supply and marketing cooperative's price, and also got fifty eggs."
Most of the people in the team are simple and honest. When they heard about this kind of thing, they were all happy to help.
"Thank you, ma'am. Please thank everyone for me."
Tang Wan was so moved that she quickly hung the chicken on the bicycle and tied the egg to the back.
Xinghua Niang gave her the remaining bills and said, "These are the leftovers."
"Thank you, I'm in a hurry to go back and make some soup. I'll come and play with you next time, Xinghua."
Tang Wan took a quick look and knew in her mind that the price must be very fair.
As she rode away on her bike, Xinghua whispered, "Mom, you weren't so positive before."
In the past, the family had to do it secretly to change the eggs, but today her mother went door to door to ask.
"You are stupid."
Xinghua Niang said unhappily: "This is about helping military comrades, not profiteering.
Besides, why did mother do that? It's for your own good. Look at Comrade Tang, he's dressed so neatly.
I'll talk to her later and see if she can introduce you to someone."
