Jiang Qingyue felt a little embarrassed, but she was really sleepy and tired.
In the end, I chose to surrender to the comfortable and warm bed.
But when I woke up, it was dark outside.
The room was dark too.
Jiang Qingyue was startled and whispered, "Zhou Zhengting?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the lights in the room came on.
"Just now I saw you were sleeping so soundly, so I turned off the light."
Jiang Qingyue was a little dazed, "It's already dark?"
"Well, it's still snowing outside. It looks like we can't go back today. Let's stay here for one night."
"Get up first and wipe your face with hot water. I'll go downstairs and bring up some food."
When the meal came, Jiang Qingyue felt that she had no appetite. She wondered if it was because she slept too much.
Seeing that she had a poor appetite, Zhou Zhengting couldn't help but frown, "Did you catch a cold? Drink some ginger soup and go to bed early."
Jiang Qingyue looked around and saw that there was only one bed in the room.
So he asked, "Then how do you sleep?"
Zhou Zhengting looked nonchalant. "I'll just stay in the chair for one night, don't worry about me."
Zhou Zhengting was also caught in the snow just now, and after he put on the hat, his hair was already soaked and frozen.
Jiang Qingyue was worried that he was sick and wouldn't be able to take the train tomorrow.
So he suggested, "Why don't you sleep on the bed tonight and ask the front desk for a quilt?"
Anyway, when the two of them were at home before, they slept on the same kang.
It's just that the place is a bit crowded now.
It's a special situation, so just make do with it.
Hearing Jiang Qingyue say this, Zhou Zhengting's eyes flashed with surprise for a moment.
Then the tips of her ears slowly turned red, and she hurriedly put away the dishes and chopsticks she had finished eating, and said haltingly, "I know. I'll go downstairs and get them now."
After going downstairs, Zhou Zhengting took a long time to wash the borrowed dishes.
Then I went to the front desk to ask for a quilt.
The lady at the front desk looked at Zhou Zhengting with a puzzled look, then handed him a quilt.
Zhou Zhengting's palms were sweaty. He held the quilt and took deep breaths outside for a long time before slowly pushing the door open.
As soon as I entered the room, I noticed the sound of steady breathing coming from the bed.
This woman has fallen asleep.
How can she sleep so well?
Although he was sad, Zhou Zhengting quietly put the quilt aside, carefully took off his coat and got in.
As soon as he lay down, Zhou Zhengting felt those dusty scenes suddenly rushing towards him.
I can't get rid of it even if I close my eyes.
After struggling with those memories for a long time and just beginning to feel sleepy, I suddenly heard Jiang Qingyue mumbling beside me.
"Jiang Qingyue, what's wrong with you?"
Zhou Zhengting shouted several times, but Jiang Qingyue seemed to be trapped in a nightmare and could not be awakened at all.
Zhou Zhengting nervously reached out and touched her forehead, only to find that it was burning hot and she had a fever.
Her sleepiness was immediately awakened, and Zhou Zhengting quickly got out of bed and took a towel to reduce her fever.
It snowed so heavily that we couldn't go to the hospital.
Zhou Zhengting ran downstairs to find the front desk again. Seeing that there were no antipyretics, he asked for some white wine and prepared to go back to cool her down physically.
......
When Jiang Qingyue woke up again, she felt weak all over.
The voice was weak, "What's wrong with me?"
Seeing that she had woken up, Zhou Zhengting instinctively reached out and covered her forehead with his hand, and breathed a sigh of relief, "The fever is finally gone."
Jiang Qingyue then vaguely remembered some fragments of last night.
There was a voice calling me all the time, and someone was wiping me.
Thinking of this, Jiang Qingyue felt a little embarrassed, "You took care of me all night last night?"
Zhou Zhengting hummed lightly, "It snowed too heavily last night, so we couldn't go to the hospital, and there was no medicine in the guesthouse, so we just had to use white wine--"
As he was speaking, Zhou Zhengting's face suddenly turned red.
Then he quickly put aside the scenes of last night.
He avoided the main point and said, "I used white wine to lower your temperature. I'd better take you to the hospital for another checkup. You haven't been feeling well since yesterday."
Jiang Qingyue propped herself up and sat up, shaking her head, "It's okay, no need to go to the hospital for a checkup, I just caught a cold outside yesterday, and I'm completely fine now."
"Are you really alright?"
"Really? Oh, by the way, don't you still need to take the bus? Hurry up and leave!"
Seeing that she was really fine, Zhou Zhengting got up and started packing his things.
"I'm not going back. I'll take you home first."
"How can that be? You've already made an agreement with your family. If you don't go back, they'll be worried."
"It's okay. I'll send a telegram back later. I'll ask for leave to go home after the New Year. Besides, it's not safe on the roads now because of the heavy snow."
Jiang Qingyue thought about it and agreed, so she stopped stopping him.
......
I don’t know if it’s because he felt that he made Jiang Qingyue sick.
I still think she looked too pitiful when she had a nightmare last night.
On the way back, Zhou Zhengting suddenly became extra considerate and took out his military coat to wrap her tightly.
As soon as she got home, she took the initiative to heat the kang so that she could get into bed and rest.
Jiang Qingyue slept for another night, and only then did she feel completely recovered.
Thinking that Zhou Zhengting was going to stay for the New Year, Jiang Qingyue felt that she couldn't be too lazy, so she started making preparations for the New Year as soon as she recovered from her illness.
Considering that Jiang Qingyue had just recovered from illness, Zhou Zhengting took the initiative to take on all the cleaning work inside and outside the house.
Jiang Qingyue only needs to be responsible for preparing food for the New Year.
Before the New Year, the two of them saved up a lot of chicken, fish, meat, eggs and sausages.
There are also vermicelli given by my family, and mushrooms and potatoes that I dried myself.
It's quite filling for just two people.
The people in the village watched the two of them go out and come back together, and they all joked about it in secret.
It is said that Zhou Zhiqing was reluctant to let his wife spend the New Year alone at home, so he ran back from the station.
The family was also very happy when they found out.
Jiang Qingyue did not tell them that she was sick, and just said perfunctorily that she was delayed because of the snow.
So the family naturally thought that Zhou Zhengting really wanted to come back with an excuse.
But after all, they are newlyweds, and everyone feels relieved to be able to spend the New Year together.
The two of them had sent so much meat and sausages before, so before the New Year, Wang Xiuzhi asked Jiang Weidong to send a lot of cabbage, sauerkraut and radishes over openly.
......
It was New Year’s Eve.
Zhou Zhengting got some firecrackers from somewhere and set off a string of them outside the house. It made a loud noise and was very lively.
Inside the house, meat was stewing in the pot and there were freshly wrapped round dumplings on the chopping board.
The dim kerosene lamp, the steaming hot pot, and the fragrant aroma of meat.
Zhou Zhengting was in high spirits and even took out a bottle of wine.
"Jiang Qingyue, would you like to drink something tonight?"
Jiang Qingyue was picking up dumplings, smiling and frowning, "I don't drink."
"I made rice wine, which won't make you drunk."
"Okay, try a cup."
Neither of them could drink much, and after a few glasses of rice wine, their faces turned red.
