Chapter 96 Chapter 96 An early morning accident.
The military district's guesthouse here is a small three-story building with two rows of rooms facing each other and a courtyard for activities in the middle. The conditions are quite good.
After entering the yard, Wen Zhan led the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren straight to a suite on the first floor.
The key was given to them when they registered. Mu Mian took out the key and unlocked the room. The suite had two rooms and a small living room, which was just right for them.
There is also a separate shower room, but the hot water in the shower is supplied on a timed basis, only at night, for two hours, which is quite good.
Mu Mian likes it very much. Over the years, except for occasionally going to the communal bathhouse to scrub, most of the time he would boil hot water and take it back to the house to wash. He hasn't taken a shower for a long time!
There is also a public kitchen outside with gas, which makes cooking very convenient.
There is also a laundry room with running water.
Wen Chen introduced the whole place in great detail. After walking around for a while, he pointed to the third room from the end on the second floor opposite and said, "Xiao Cao and the others and I live over there. If you need anything, come and call me."
Xiao Cao was Wenzhan's orderly, and his full name was Cao Zile.
During Wen Zhan's vacation, he was supposed to return to Ningzhang Base, but when Mu Zhuo was injured and too busy to take care of him, he stayed to help.
Before Mu Zhuo was out of danger, someone had to watch over him day and night.
Mu Mian looked up and recognized the door, smiling, "Okay, if there is anything, I will definitely not be polite to Fourth Brother."
Wen Zhan laughed, "Then you and Auntie should clean up first. There is a cafeteria in the family area. It will be time for dinner in half an hour. I will take you to get to know the way."
Mu Mian looked at his watch and said, "Okay!"
It's past eleven now, so it's just the right time to pack up and have dinner.
Wen Zhen didn't bother him any further and just left after he finished speaking.
Inside the suite, Mu Xi was still looking around curiously, and the little one sighed, "This place is so different from our home."
Liu Shuangcui laughed out loud, "That's definitely different. This is the big capital, and ours is a small rural village."
Mu Xi jumped up and down, "I like both places! If only..."
Mu Mian added, "It would be even better if your grandma and grandpa were here too, right?"
Mu Xi said, "Aunt, how do you know what I'm going to say?"
Mu Mian smiled and said, "That's an easy guess."
As Mu Mian spoke, he wiped everywhere with a rag, and some places were covered with dust.
Mu Xi fiddled with his short legs and followed the crowd, chattering, "Auntie, can I sleep on this bed with you tonight?"
Mu Mian: "Sure, you can sleep with whoever you want."
Mu Xi: "Then can I sleep at Dad's place tonight?"
Mu Mian: "Not really, the bed is too small, there's no room for you to sleep, and your mother can't take care of you."
Liu Shuangcui looked at her eldest granddaughter and said, "It's only been a short time since you came out with me. Are you missing your dad again?"
Mu Xi said in a serious tone, "I haven't seen my father for many, many years, so of course I have to make up for what I didn't see before!"
It sounded a little funny coming from a little kid.
Liu Shuangcui: "You will make up for it later."
The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren were talking as they packed up. Half an hour passed very quickly and Wen Zhan appeared outside the door punctually.
Mu Mian rushed out with the washed lunch box, "Come here, Xixi, what are you guys taking? Let's go!"
Wen Chen: "Don't worry, there aren't many people in the family area, so it won't be a problem if you go late."
Mu Xi and Liu Shuangcui came out a step later, "Grandma is getting the money."
Liu Shuangcui locked the door and said, "Let's go, the little girl has been crying for hunger for a long time."
The cafeteria was not far from here. Wen Chen led the two adults and one child and arrived after turning two corners.
It's a small canteen, there aren't many people there, and the dishes aren't very diverse.
Mu Mian beat them a lot. After all, there were three other people in the ward. Before she came out, she said that they would be taken over after they were done beating.
In fact, the hospital also has a cafeteria, but there are too many people there.
By the time a few people brought the food to the ward, Mu Zhuo had already woken up. He slept in fits and starts, and he would take a nap whenever he felt tired.
As soon as Mu Xi entered, he went to Mu Zhuo's bedside and said, "Dad, you're awake. Are you hungry? We prepared a lot of food."
Mu Zhuo's appetite wasn't that good, but when it came to his daughter, his tone was as if he could eat a whole cow right away, "I'm so hungry, I was just wondering when you guys would come."
Mu Xi: "Then eat quickly."
As she said this, she was about to get the lunch box for her father.
Shi Anzhi helped his deputy leader to stand up, and Nie Sihui put two large pillows underneath for Mu Zhuo to lean on.
Mu Zhuo had been eating liquid food for many days, and now he has no problem eating normally.
The food was placed on a small table. After Mu Zhuo was done, Liu Shuangcui sat down and chatted casually while eating. She looked at Shi Anzhi, "Xiao Shi, go back and have a rest after you finish eating. We have enough here. You must be exhausted recently, right?"
Shi Anzhi is not very old, only slightly older than Mu Mian, only twenty-one years old.
He scratched his head and smiled a bit silly, "It's not tiring, auntie, this is what I should do."
Liu Shuangcui: "There's no such thing as should or shouldn't. You've been worrying for so many days, just take a break."
Mu Zhuo interrupted, "Listen to your aunt."
Upon hearing what his deputy leader said, Shi Anzhi changed his mind and said, "Okay, I'll come back in the evening."
Nie Sihui waved her hand and said, "It's okay. I'll be here tonight."
Shi Anzhi opened his mouth and was about to speak, but Nie Sihui quickly arranged it for him, "We'll take turns here, you can come back tomorrow night, and go back tonight and have a good rest."
Take a break. ”
Mu Zhuo not only had a gunshot wound on his leg, but also a broken bone, neither of which was light. He couldn't move one leg at all.
If you need help in a hurry, only Nie Sihui and Shi Anzhi can help.
Mu Mian, who couldn't help at night, couldn't sit idle at all. Her sister-in-law and Comrade Shi took care of his daily life, so she could be responsible for her elder brother's food.
Mu Mian swallowed a mouthful of rice and asked immediately, "Is there a meat station or grain station nearby?"
Use that half root of ginseng to make more soup for her elder brother, and he will be able to make up for it slowly.
Wen Chen: "Yes, there is, but it's not close, you have to take the bus to get there."
Mu Mian: "Just sit by the gate?"
Wen Chen: "Well, it's about ten stops away."
Mu Mian smiled and said, "That's not bad. It's not too far. I'll buy some more bones and make soup for my brother."
Mu Zhuo was also very familiar with the surrounding situation. "That bus is extremely crowded every morning. After getting off the bus, the road is also very roundabout. It is in an alley. You have to pick up Lao Wen. Don't let him get lost."
Mu Mian immediately grasped the key point from her elder brother's words, "Have you gone yet?"
She wanted to go there soon, stew it in the afternoon and drink it in the evening.
Shi Anzhi: "Usually I go in the morning."
Liu Shuangcui: "Then let's go tomorrow morning. Mian Ya and I will go. We will know the way by asking. Xiao Wen must be very tired these days. Rest for a while."
Mu Zhuo: "Why would he be so tired? He gets up in the morning and runs 5 kilometers like it's a walk. He doesn't even take a breath after running."
Wen Chen laughed and turned to Liu Shuangcui, "Aunt, I'll take Xiaomian with me."
Liu Shuangcui: "Is it okay to delay your work?"
Wen Chen: "My most recent job is to make sure that Lao Mu recovers from his injuries. Brigade Commander Yang called me last week and specifically told me to return him a healthy and well regiment commander in three months."
This is indeed the truth, but the call made by Brigade Yang was made to the military region here.
He was a good deputy team leader who came here to study, but he almost died. It made him very anxious.
Mu Zhuo started bragging again, "It won't take three months, it will be fully healed in two months at most!"
Nie Sihui glared at him and said, "Calm down, can you be so anxious about this?"
Mu Zhuo chuckled and said, "No hurry, no hurry."
You and I chatted, and the lunch time passed quickly.
In the afternoon, Mu Mian went back to the guesthouse to pack up. In the morning, he was only busy cleaning and hadn't packed his luggage yet.
After busying around here and there, the sky gradually darkened in the blink of an eye.
Nie Sihui came back, tidied herself up briefly, took a shower, and then rushed to the hospital.
Mu Mian was thinking about going shopping the next morning, so he went to bed early.
The bed in their suite is not actually very big. It is just right for two people, but a bit crowded for three.
Liu Shuangcui and Mu Xi slept in another room. Mu Mian was alone and fell asleep within two minutes after turning off the light.
She was actually a little attached to her bed, but she was too tired in the past two days and had not slept well on the train. Now, as long as she was given a quiet place, she would feel sleepy instantly.
---
A good night's sleep and nice weather the next day.
Mu Mian got up very early. When she got dressed and went out, there was no movement in Liu Shuangcui and the others' room. It was obvious that they were also tired.
Mu Mian took a towel and toothbrush and tiptoed to the laundry room, where he washed his face, brushed his teeth, and washed the dirty clothes that everyone had taken off yesterday.
It's still really early now, the sun hasn't even risen yet.
When Mu Mian arrived at the laundry room, an old lady was already there. She had gotten up earlier than her and was also washing clothes. She looked like she was almost done.
The old lady was very enthusiastic and greeted Mu Mian, "The faucet next to you has a lot of water. Come here to wash. The water is quick to collect."
Mu Mian smiled and said, "Okay, Auntie, you got up early."
The old lady said: "You are old, you don't sleep much, get up and move around when you wake up. I haven't seen you before, are you a new girl?"
Mu Mian nodded, "Yeah, I just came yesterday."
As soon as the faucet was turned on, water flowed out. The old lady collected the water while cleaning for the last time. She was still talking and said that she came to see her eldest brother and would go back after staying for half a month.
She said she came to see someone, but in fact her son was very busy and she could only see him for a while at noon and in the evening.
After talking for two minutes, the old lady left with the basin.
The clothes that were taken off yesterday were not particularly dirty. Mu Mian simply rubbed them by himself. When he was done, Liu Shuangcui got up. She looked a little tired. "Are you done washing? I didn't hear any noise."
Mu Mian: "You're so tired that you're snoring. It's normal that I can't hear you."
Liu Shuangcui: "Is it that loud? Did you hear it from outside?"
Mu Mian laughed out loud, "I was just joking, why did you actually believe it, Mom?"
Liu Shuangcui made a "tsk" sound and stopped talking nonsense with her daughter. She got down to business and said, "Go out and buy it now?"
Mu Mian: "Well, Fourth Brother should be up by now, so the earlier you go, the earlier you can come back."
Liu Shuangcui went into the room and took out some tickets. "Is this enough?"
Mu Mian took it and nodded, then put it in his messenger bag, "That's enough, I still have some."
Liu Shuangcui gave two more instructions, "Don't just buy bones, buy some pig liver and pig blood as well."
Mu Mian responded.
The noise of talking woke Mu Xi up. The little boy with a messy hair was dozing off on the doorstep. Mu Mian laughed at his appearance of wanting to get up and join in the fun even though he was clearly not awake.
Mu Mian moved his niece's head twice and walked out of the door, heading straight to where Wen Zhan lived on the second floor opposite.
When she arrived, the door was ajar.
Mu Mian raised his hand and knocked. Just as he was about to shout, Wen Zhan's voice came from inside, "Come in."
Mu Mian pushed the door open and said, "Fourth brother, you..."
Mu Mian didn’t say the rest.
In the room, Wen Zhan had wet hair, was shirtless, and wore camouflage pants on his lower body. He was holding a short-sleeved shirt in his hands and putting it over his arms.
The moment she saw clearly, Mu Mian raised her eyelids and subconsciously thought, he is worthy of being the one who spends all her time in the training ground whenever she has time, he looks even stronger than her elder brother.
Compared to Mu Mian's calmness, Wen Chen was much faster. He quickly put the clothes on his head without taking a second. He then said, "Sorry, I thought it was Xiao Cao."
This is what people who hang out with men every day are like. There are not many female comrades around them and they are very casual in their daily lives.
Mu Mian said generously, "Hahaha, it's okay, it's my fault for not saying hello in advance, hahaha..."
I have to say, you have practiced really well.
Wen Chen pursed his lips.
For some reason, the little girl's smile made him want to pull his clothes closer.
