Just as he was thinking, An Hongdou had already taken two fried dough sticks and an egg, and put them all in his hands, saying, "Hurry up and eat. You injured your leg and your fever has just recovered. You must eat something nutritious to nourish your body. Eat these for now, and I will try to find a way to bring back some nutritious food at noon."
After saying that, An Hongdou held the enamel cup and started drinking porridge.
The porridge in the hospital was not thick, it was like a large cup of water with a few broken rice grains floating on top.
Shen Xiangzhi opened his mouth slightly but couldn’t utter a word.
It turned out that he had misunderstood her.
It’s not that she is greedy. These foods that don’t look cheap were bought by her specially for him.
Seeing An Hongdou finish the porridge in just a few mouthfuls, Shen Xiangzhi's fair and pretty face blushed, and he gave half of the fried dough sticks and eggs in his hand to her, saying, "Here you go, porridge water won't stop hunger, and I can't eat so much."
An Hongdou calmly put down the empty enamel cup in her hand, but did not pick up the fried dough sticks and eggs. Instead, she looked at him with a faint smile, "You can't finish this little food? You are not worried that I will be hungry, right?"
This fried dough stick is not as solid as the ones in later generations. It is very small. The farm eggs are even smaller. It is definitely a lie to say that you can't finish it.
After being told this by An Hongdou, Shen Xiangzhi's face, which was originally a little embarrassed, suddenly darkened. "Whether you are hungry or not has nothing to do with me. Don't be so self-indulgent. I just don't want to owe you anything."
An Hongdou laughed, "Don't worry, you don't owe me anything. I'm losing weight myself, so I eat less. Shen Zhiqing doesn't have to feel any psychological burden."
An Hongdou was still speaking kindly, which made Shen Xiangzhi wonder if he had gone too far.
Even though she is strong, she is a girl after all. Maybe he should be nicer to her, at least he shouldn't always speak in a sarcastic tone.
It’s not like there weren’t girls who treated him better in the past.
Maybe... it was because of his different mentality at the time, and he never felt that there was anything wrong with his cold words.
After what happened with his grandfather, and after experiencing his parents' divorce and all kinds of human warmth and coldness, Shen Xiangzhi finally understood what it meant to have something that was not easily gained.
"An Hongdou..."
An Hongdou was stunned, "What?"
It seemed that there was a different feeling when his name was called out by Shen Xiangzhi's magnetic voice.
When An Hongdou looked over, Shen Xiangzhi raised the corners of his lips slightly, smiled jokingly and said, "If you can really lose weight, then I will try to be with you everywhere, how about it?"
After he finished speaking, he was stunned for a moment.
He didn't know what was going on, but at that moment, he suddenly had this thought.
After he finished speaking, he suddenly felt that he seemed a little ridiculous.
"Okay, you said it yourself, you can't go back on your word!"
At this moment, An Hongdou thought he was joking and felt that she would never be able to lose weight.
But she didn't expect that Shen Xiangzhi had never thought about divorce from the moment he decided to get married.
The two people spoke quietly, and the person in the next bed might not be able to hear clearly, but the smiles on their faces could be seen clearly.
It could also be that An Hongdou and Shen Xiangzhi, a couple with such huge differences, were too strange, and Aunt Cui, who was accompanying her next door, also looked at An Hongdou in a strange way.
An Hongdou could clearly feel that the other party disliked her, but she didn't say anything.
Do your own thing and don't care what others think!
After finishing breakfast, An Hongdou came back after washing the dishes, and saw Shen Xiangzhi sitting there with a frown on his face, looking conflicted and forbearing.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" An Hongdou walked in and asked, but in her heart she thought that his legs were hurting.
Shen Xiangzhi shook his head, and although he didn't say anything, his face began to turn red.
An Hongdou suddenly understood, "Want to go to the toilet?"
Well, the morning was almost over and he drank such a big cup of watery porridge, it would be strange if he didn't want to go to the toilet.
Sure enough, Shen Xiangzhi nodded after hesitating.
An Hongdou smiled and said, "If you want to go to the toilet, just tell me. There's nothing to be embarrassed about!"
Having said that, An Hongdou went to get the urinal.
“Don’t…” Shen Xiangzhi hurriedly called out, “Help me over.”
There were two other people in the ward, and there was only a curtain between them, so there was no sound insulation at all. His inner shame did not allow him to use the urinal in front of others.
That clattering sound is so hurtful to my self-esteem.
"Then I'll push the wheelchair over." An Hongdou didn't force it and went out to push the wheelchair.
When we pushed him to the toilet door, there was another moment of embarrassment.
No matter how thick-skinned An Hongdou was, she was too embarrassed to enter the men's restroom in public.
The same is true for Shen Xiangzhi.
In the end, he had to ask an older brother with healthy hands and feet to help him in, thus avoiding this embarrassment.
After pushing Shen Xiangzhi back to the ward and helping him lie down, An Hongdou was sweating all over. In addition, the original owner hadn't taken a shower for several days, so she could almost smell how pungent her body smell was.
After thinking for a while, An Hongdou said, "I'm going to go out and find a place to take a shower. Is there anything you need or want to eat? I'll bring it back for you on the way."
Shen Xiangzhi shook his head, “I don’t care, just get me a glass of water and put it here.”
He was sent here directly from the mountain by the two eldest brothers of the An family. He didn't have much money or tickets on him. Now all the food he eats is bought by An Hongdou. How could he let others spend money to bring him food?
Thinking of this, Shen Xiangzhi suddenly felt a little embarrassed, “Well… I still have some money and food coupons in the educated youth site. When I go back, I will return the money to you.”
Even if they have already obtained a marriage certificate, he can't just live off her and take advantage of her.
Without considering other things, just based on this point, An Hongdou felt that Shen Xiangzhi was indeed more of a man than Zhao Youliang. He even thought of returning a few meals to her.
Look at what kind of person Zhao Youliang is. Not only did he eat other people’s food, but he also ended up hurting the girl so badly. What a cruel person!
Suddenly I felt that letting him fall into the shit pit was a good thing for him.
"There's no rush. We can be considered a family anyway. There will be many times in the future when we won't be able to tell them apart. One or two meals won't make a big difference." After all, they will be eating from the same pot for some time in the future.
Shen Xiangzhi also understood this truth, so he stopped talking.
But he also has his own persistence. He is a man and he cannot take advantage of women at any time.
An Hongdou gave him some water and left the hospital directly.
I wandered around the town for a long time and got a general idea of the situation there.
She did find a bathhouse and had enough money for a bath, but unfortunately, she didn't have a bath ticket.
This is such a fucked-up era. You need a ticket for everything. Even taking a shower is difficult without a ticket.
