Second update
In terms of the month, it is already winter, but the island is still sunny. It is the best time of the year, a warm winter. The daytime temperature is above 20 degrees, neither too cold nor too hot. Wearing light clothes, it will be a bit cold in the evening, and you need to add a coat to keep out the wind.
Qin Yao worked shifts at night. One or two o'clock in the morning and early morning sunrise were the coldest times of the day. The wind was howling outside, making people shiver with cold. But during the day, the sun still showed its midsummer smile.
The leaves are lush and green, huge banana leaves hang down, and the hospital walls are covered with ivy.
Qin Yao hated working the night shift. She had come to the hospital not to be a nurse, but to work in the hospital's publicity office. Now she was waiting to see if the article she had written for Head Nurse Ge would give her a chance.
It’s almost the end of the year, and personnel transfers are most frequent at this time. Qin Yao has been waiting for an opportunity.
Qin Yao worked the night shift yesterday. Early in the morning, when there were few people around, she called home in the office. After a few beeps, the phone hung up. Not long after, another call came in from the other end. Qin Yao picked up the receiver and her mother Chen Guixiang's voice appeared in her ears.
"Yaoyao, is there something wrong? Why did you call back?" Chen Guixiang's voice was full of anxiety and care.
Qin Yao felt warm in her heart, and she smiled and said, "Mom, I sent you some special products from the island."
"Oh, I see." Chen Guixiang pursed her lips and carefully confirmed, "Yaoyao, you are back for the New Year, right?"
Qin Yao said: "Come back before the New Year."
"Xiao Gu is coming back with you too?"
Qin Yao paused: "I think so."
Before he knew it, the three-month probation period was about to end. Gu Cheng had made all preparations. The Chinese New Year was coming soon, and Gu Cheng had filed a report for marriage. He planned to take a wedding leave around the Chinese New Year, meet both sets of parents, and then have a wedding banquet.
"Hehehe...that's great. What does little Gu like to eat? Ask your father to prepare it in advance." Chen Guixiang was beaming with joy. She and her husband only knew that Qin Yao was dating a military officer named Gu, and that they were planning to return home to get married at the end of the year. Both sets of parents would be in the capital for the New Year, so it was a good opportunity for them to meet and get married.
Chen Guixiang didn't dare ask too much about her future son-in-law, for fear that her children would get annoyed by asking too much and it would disturb their dating relationship.
This little Gu is a serious military officer and his family is in the capital, so there is nothing to complain about. Chen Guixiang doesn't think her family's conditions are bad. She even wants to show off in front of her future son-in-law's family.
How could their family be poor if they could raise such a fair and plump girl? At most the housing is a bit crowded.
Qin Yao: "He likes to eat meat."
"That's right, men all like to eat meat." Chen Guixiang covered her mouth with a laugh, and sketched out the appearance of her daughter and son-in-law in her mind. Her daughter Qin Yao was white and plump, and she probably got a little tanned on the island, but that didn't matter.
The son-in-law Xiao Gu must be a genuine northern man. My daughter said he is tall, about 1.8 meters. He must be a strong man weighing about 200 pounds, dark and strong, like a bear, which is the kind of man who can give a woman a sense of security.
The surname “Gu” pronounces as “gu”, which means “gu” in Chinese. If someone is already bulging, how can he be thin?
Even if he doesn't weigh 200 kilograms, he should weigh at least 180 kilograms. With two people together, he should weigh at least 300 kilograms.
If the son-in-law does not weigh 200 kilograms, he must be allowed to eat enough during the New Year, so that the young man can know what the love of his mother-in-law means.
"Yaoyao, how much does Xiao Gu weigh? Has he gained weight during this period of time?"
Qin Yao was speechless and choked: "Maybe he got fatter."
Chen Guixiang didn't care about her son-in-law's family background, but was only concerned about whether he had gained weight, just like a peasant woman caring about her pigs. She wanted to catch them and weigh them every day until she saw the number go up, and then her heart would be at peace.
If one day she really brought Gu Cheng to Chen Guixiang, she thought that Chen Guixiang might not be satisfied with Gu Cheng as a son-in-law, and would definitely dislike that Gu Cheng was too thin.
Gu Cheng’s actual tonnage is really not light, but the combined weight of the two of them is indeed less than 300 kilograms.
"Yaoyao, what about you? Have you lost weight? You must have lost weight because of hunger. When you come back, your parents will nourish you well and make a lot of your favorite food." Chen Guixiang said with concern.
Qin Yao: “…”
For this reason, she could only pretend not to hear: "Well, I'll probably go back before the New Year."
"Okay." Chen Guixiang smiled, clapped her hands, and finally seemed to remember something, she said: "Yaoyao, Zeng Manli is over."
At this point, Chen Guixiang's voice was full of gloating. She didn't get along well with Zeng Manli and Zhou Fangyu's families. Qin Yao used to like Zhou Fangyu, and Chen Guixiang didn't dare to say bad things about the Zhou family in front of Qin Yao, but Zeng Manli's family was too much. Whenever they met her family, they would always make some sarcastic remarks.
Now their Yaoyao no longer likes the "short and petite" Zhou and finds her a "tall and strong" son-in-law who weighs 200 pounds.
"Zeng Manli is here? I see, Zhou Fangyu already has a new girlfriend." Qin Yao thought that something interesting was going to happen. It turned out that the plot had already progressed to the point where Zeng Manli came to the island.
In the original book, Qin Yao was kept in suspense by Zhou Fangyu, but was exposed and torn apart in public by Zeng Manli, who also became good friends with the original heroine Bai Qiuling.
Zhou Fangyu is now dating Dr. Xue, and everyone in the hospital knows about it. But who would have known that Zhou Fangyu has a fiancée from his hometown?
Of course, their engagement had already ended verbally.
Zeng Manli didn't care about that. When she came to make trouble, she still came as the "fiancée".
*
"Comrade Qin, you are really good at cooking." In the traditional Chinese medicine therapy room, a young female militia captain Miao Cuiye kept praising Qin Yao.
The militiamen usually have to practice shooting, and Miao Cuiye speaks like a machine gun.
Practicing shooting is a technical job. The recoil is large. If you don’t know how to use it, not only will you hurt the enemy, but you will also break your shoulder.
Many people have more or less shoulder injuries after practicing shooting, especially the new recruits. Bruising is considered mild, but serious injuries can lead to broken bones.
In military hospitals, there are relatively fewer patients in the internal medicine department, but more patients suffering from various types of training injuries.
A traditional Chinese medicine recovery therapy room like this is indispensable.
"Cui Ye is not afraid of anyone and she is really good at talking." Doctor Wu Mengxia next to her joked.
Miao Cuiye said: "I am afraid of one person, Captain Gu. I am terrified when I see him."
Doctor Wu smiled strangely: "Then you have to try to curry favor with Xiao Qin."
Qin Yao: “…”
"how?"
Doctor Wu: "Xiao Qin is dating Captain Gu and they are getting married soon. You can still have wedding candy next year."
Miao Cuiye exclaimed: "Oh my God!"
Miao Cuiye surrounded Qin Yao, looking as if she had seen a ghost, making Qin Yao laugh and cry. What on earth had this guy Gu Cheng done? Why is everyone afraid of him?
"Xiao Qin." Miao Cuiye took Qin Yao's hand devoutly and pleaded, "I have a document to give to Captain Gu later. Please be kind enough to accompany me."
"Okay." Except for that time when she went to find Gu Cheng for signature, Qin Yao seldom took the initiative to "visit" Gu Cheng during working hours. She usually waited for him to be free in the evening, and the two would meet in the staff quarters.
It was said that the probation period was three months, but due to the special nature of their respective jobs, they did not have much time to meet. This was also because it was the end of the year and there had been less training recently, mostly personnel transfers and summary reports. Gu Cheng had a lot of paperwork to deal with, so he was not necessarily free.
Just get married like this? Qin Yao always found it unbelievable, but life in the army was monotonous and uneventful, and the rare opportunities to meet also meant that they had never really quarreled.
Perhaps it will be the real period of overcoming the tribulation when the two of them return to the capital together before the New Year.
Qin Yao and Miao Cuiye walked downstairs together. Before they reached the first floor, they saw many people hurried out to watch the fun.
Miao Cuiye was a person who loved to watch the fun, so she quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
"Fight! Dr. Xue's office!"
"Dr. Zhou's fiancée from his hometown came to see him."
Miao Cuiye didn't understand what was going on, so she cursed: "Bah, you have a fiancée in your hometown but you're still hooking up with a female doctor on the island, you're so shameless."
"That's right, shameless." Qin Yao joined in. In her opinion, Zhou Fangyu and Zeng Manli were not good people, and they were not worthy of the same kind.
A group of people gathered at the office door to watch the fun.
Zhou Fangyu's voice was filled with anxiety: "Manli, our engagement was cancelled a long time ago. It was you who said that you didn't want to come to the island with me. You said that if I came to the island, you would cancel the engagement with me."
"I've been on the island for a few months now, what's the point of our engagement?"
Zeng Manli cursed, "I came all the way to the island for you, are you still a man? You unilaterally broke off the engagement, you shameless bastard. We have been together for more than 20 years, can you change your mind in just half a year?"
Zhou Fangyu said anxiously: "Manli, you have to be reasonable. We have been apart for so long. Isn't it normal for me to develop feelings with someone else?"
Zeng Manli: "Our relationship of more than 20 years has gone to waste? More than 20 years is not as good as these half a year? Can you really forget me and be with another woman?"
Qin Yao couldn't help but burst out laughing.
She pulled Miao Cuiye and said, "This kind of excitement is not good, let's go."
Miao Cuiye nodded: "Same old story, all disgusting."
Miao Cuiye could guess that the two were probably engaged, and the man was going to be transferred to the island for work, but the woman despised it and was unwilling to come, so they broke up. Now they have been separated for more than half a year, and the man has found another female doctor. The woman chased after him and scolded the man for changing his mind.
Sigh, the husband has his own reasons and the wife has her own reasons, neither of them is a good person.
Qin Yao and Miao Cuiye left and went to look for Gu Cheng. They arrived at an inopportune time as Gu Cheng was scolding someone downstairs with a row of people standing in front of him.
When Miao Cuiye saw this scene, she felt dizzy and as if she was going to have heatstroke.
But Gu Cheng's voice is like the "Huoxiang Zhengqi Water" in summer, which makes people feel refreshed from head to toe, stimulating, hot and energetic.
It was the first time that Qin Yao saw Gu Cheng so angry, and she felt a little scared. She and Miao Cuiye beside her looked at each other and regretted that she should have stayed in the hospital longer to watch the fun.
After Gu Cheng finished scolding the man, he turned around and saw Qin Yao. His expression softened a little and he walked forward.
Qin Yao looked at him, and subconsciously thought of what Chen Guixiang said on the phone, a two hundred kilograms strong son-in-law... Ignoring the two hundred kilograms, Gu Cheng's aura is quite strong. How to describe this aura? A bottle of human-shaped Huoxiang Zhengqi water came over.
"Captain Huo, Comrade Miao is going to bring this document to you."
Miao Cuiye: “?!”
Gu Cheng: "What?"
