Jian Dan spun around in front of her, and it took her several seconds to make out the person in front of her.
"You're back? Did you get off work?"
Qin Qinghuai's nose tingled with emotion.
"Honey, did you know you fainted? Why didn't you say you weren't feeling well? You scared me to death."
faint?
She blinked briefly, remembering that she had felt dizzy earlier, and glanced to the side.
"Am I in... the clinic?"
As she spoke, she tried to sit up, supporting herself on the hospital bed, but Qin Qinghuai quickly reached out to help her.
"Yes, you fainted. Sister Wang carried you here. Are you still dizzy? I'll go find a doctor to take another look at you."
Jian Dan quickly grabbed him.
"I'm fine, much better now. Did the doctor say what happened to me? Is it low blood sugar?"
As he spoke, he lifted his leg and got off the ground.
"It's probably starting to rise too quickly,"
No, it should be "furious and stunned".
"By the way, where's Sister Wang? Has Xu He left? Is she still crying at the door?"
Qin Qinghuai gets angry whenever this is mentioned.
"Who is this person? Why do they come to you with all sorts of things?"
I've heard what those other women in the family have to say. Is she just clueless about the ways of the world? Or is she just used to being the boss at home, thinking the military base is her home?
Even something as simple as this makes one sigh.
"Who knows? But I feel like there's something wrong with his brain. This sister-in-law is really wronged. She's been serving him, but all she gets are complaints."
As she spoke, she straightened her clothes and, with Qin Qinghuai's help, put on her cotton-padded coat.
"So how do we resolve this? Are we going to do anything about it?"
"You don't need to worry about it. I'll go talk to his brother. There are only three people in the family. Can't he manage them properly?"
Is it really alright to go back now? Or should I just lie here a little longer?
This clinic is very basic, with few facilities. To be honest, the only decent thing about this clinic is the doctor. Lying here won't help you get better faster, and you might even catch a cold again.
Achoo!
After sneezing again, Qin Qinghuai stopped talking, fastened his simple cotton-padded coat, and led the person outside.
"Can you walk? Should I carry you? Or put me on my back?"
The doctor at the door spoke to Cheng Chao with a playful expression.
"This young couple is still all lovey-dovey."
Outside, Cheng Chao naturally sided with his own family.
"Look, that's what you call a good relationship. Someone like you, a lifelong bachelor."
The doctor, feeling hurt, immediately retorted.
"You talk as if you're not single, humph!"
I am determined to dedicate all my energy and spirit to the Northeast, to contribute to the development of the military region and the Northeast. Plenty of opportunities to shine and contribute await me in the future; personal matters have never been a consideration for me.
"Hmph, it's the same old story every time. Have you started to believe it yourself after hearing it so many times?"
A flicker of pain crossed the doctor's eyes, followed by a soft laugh.
"Then why do you all think I didn't take it seriously?"
Cheng Chao frowned, about to ask a question, when the two people approached and immediately turned their attention to Jian Dan.
Are you sure everything's alright?
Simple twitching of the corner of her mouth, she looked at the doctor.
"Doctor, am I alright?"
"It's alright. I've already told Political Commissar Qin the main points. He should go back and eat well to make up for the losses from the past few years. He should also avoid eating too many cold or cooling foods in the future. It's fine."
"So what am I doing today?"
"It's nothing, I was just angry and it happened to bring out all the hidden ailments from before. Let's go back!"
He only half-understood, but his attitude reassured her.
"Okay, thank you for your help."
"You're too kind, sister-in-law. Just come to me if you need anything."
Cheng Chao snorted again.
"What do you want? Do you think it's anything good to be contacting you?"
"Haha, that's true, this isn't exactly a popular place."
"Alright, alright, let's go. It's cold here, don't get cold."
Back at the family compound from the clinic, Jian Dan was helped by Qin Qinghuai, and she was both amused and exasperated.
"There's no need to be so careful. The doctor said I'm fine. It's not like I can't even walk."
The man turned a deaf ear.
"What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you when we get back."
"Aren't you going back to work? It's not good for the political commissar to lead the way in skipping work, is it?"
This isn't the first time; he's always skipping work. I wonder what the other family members are saying behind his back.
"It's alright, everything that needed to be discussed has been decided. Besides, the political commissar needs to eat too. Look at the time of day!"
He paused for a moment, looked up at the sky, then glanced at the quiet family compound.
"Is it noon already?"
In rural areas, people eat only two meals a day during this season to save food, but this isn't the case in family compounds. After all, the men have to go to work, which is physically demanding, so they can't skip a meal either.
It can be said that the mealtimes in the family compound are quite punctual.
"What do you think? It's already past noon."
"No appetite? How about some dumpling soup with some old cucumber and a touch of persimmon sauce? It'll be sour and delicious, how about that?"
"Alright,"
He simply smacked his lips.
"How about we have hot and sour noodles? We'll use persimmons to flavor the broth, and add plenty of greens, what do you think?"
"......"
"Okay, I'll make it when we get back."
Over this long period of time, they have eaten a lot of new things and Qin Qinghuai has learned a lot. This space has also become an unspoken secret among the three of them. They tacitly agree not to reveal it to each other, but they are getting more and more used to using it. The two men have marveled at the power of Jian Dan's supernatural ability more than once, but neither of them has ever mentioned asking her to take anything out.
This respect is something I'm quite satisfied with.
