Chapter 46: Old men also have people who care about them
As Zhou Chongshan's voice rang out, a series of footsteps immediately echoed in the house.
Jiang Rou and Zhou Xiaohua, one big and one small, walked out quickly.
The two of them hurried out to greet them.
Outside the door, in the sunlight, Zhou Chongshan just walked into the yard.
Zhou Xiaochuan was on IV drip for a whole night, but he was still very weak, so he was carried back by Zhou Chongshan.
The little boy was lying on Zhou Chongshan's broad back. When he heard footsteps, he looked up and saw Jiang Rou and Zhou Xiaohua.
"You're back... Come in quickly, let Xiaochuan sit down first... I've prepared lunch, we can eat right away..."
Jiang Rou muttered to herself as she lent a hand to Zhou Chongshan and helped Zhou Xiaochuan get off his back.
When Zhou Xiaochuan saw Jiang Rou again, he thought of the incident of mistaking her for "mother" last night, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face.
But next to him was Zhou Xiaohua who kept coming up to him.
Zhou Xiaohua hadn't seen Zhou Xiaochuan for such a long time and had been very worried.
She stretched out her little hand as far as she could, touching Zhou Xiaochuan's arm and then his face, her unexpressible fear written all over her face.
The fair little face was wrinkled together, as if she was about to cry.
Zhou Xiaochuan looked at Zhou Xiaohua and had no time to think about Jiang Rou's affairs.
He held Zhou Xiaohua's panicked hand tightly and spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Xiaohua, brother is fine, don't worry."
When Zhou Xiaohua heard Zhou Xiaochuan's voice, she felt even more uncomfortable.
The little girl's eyes suddenly turned red, and she threw herself into Zhou Xiaochuan's arms and hugged him tightly.
It was as if Zhou Xiaochuan had been protecting her all along.
Only in this way can she feel at ease.
Zhou Xiaochuan raised his hand and gently stroked Zhou Xiaohua's head.
The two children not only love each other, but also rely on each other.
Jiang Rou and Zhou Chongshan watched from the side, with loving yet heavy eyes.
The two did not disturb the brother and sister, but walked into the kitchen together.
Zhou Chongshan helped Jiang Rou take the food out of the small kitchen.
Especially the two steamed dishes.
Jiang Rou was afraid that the food would get cold, so she kept it warm in the iron pot.
As soon as the lid was opened, a wisp of steam came out.
Jiang Rou turned around to look for a towel to cushion her hands to avoid getting burned.
But Zhou Chongshan spoke up from the side.
"Wife, I'll get it."
Zhou Chongshan just reached out his hand, passed Jiang Rou, took it out of the heat, and directly picked up the scalding plate.
His movements were quick and decisive, and his expression remained calm.
This scene stunned Jiang Rou.
Zhou Chongshan took out the steamed egg with minced meat first, then turned around to get the steamed eggplant.
Jiang Rou finally reacted and hurriedly tried to stop him.
"Wait, wait a minute. It's too hot to hold it with your hands."
"I'm not afraid of getting burned."
Zhou Chongshan's tone was still the same as before, steady without any ups and downs.
He still held out his hand, trying to take the plate again.
Jiang Rou finally reacted and immediately reached out to hold it down.
"How can you not be afraid of getting burned?"
She stretched out her hand and directly grasped Zhou Chongshan's hand.
Jiang Rou was stunned by this touch.
The two had held hands before, but their hearts were pounding so hard that the feeling of their fingertips touching was not that clear.
now.
The two people clasped their hands together.
Jiang Rou's fingers are slender, long, white and clean, just like the scallions grown in the south.
It is so tender that water can be squeezed out of it.
But Zhou Chongshan was held by her.
The man's palms were big, thick and rough.
When Jiang Rou touched it, she felt scars all over.
The traces of scars are both old and new.
The old ones were left over from Zhou Chongshan’s more than ten years of military career. There is no soldier who is not injured.
The new ones were from moving stones on the coastal defense line last night. The sharp edges of the stones cut my palms, leaving streaks of blood.
Because of being soaked in water for a long time, the bloodstains were cracked and the skin was torn.
When Jiang Rou saw it, her eyelids twitched.
They say the fingers are connected to the heart, how painful this must be.
"You're injured? Why didn't you tell me before? These wounds are soaked in water. You should apply medicine."
Jiang Rou was worried and spoke anxiously.
She held Zhou Chongshan's hand tightly, raised her eyes full of worry, and looked straight at Zhou Chongshan.
The old man's chest was hit hard by something.
His fingertips seemed to have really touched a ball of fire.
It was so hot.
Even my throat was choked.
The heat in my chest is hotter than the steam rising from the stove.
Zhou Chongshan said in a low voice: "It's okay, it's just a minor injury, it won't hurt."
In Zhou Chongshan's view, these wounds were not really wounds at all.
In the past, when he was on the battlefield and was grazed by a bullet and his arm was bleeding, he didn't have time to find a hygienist to treat it. Instead, he directly bandaged it with a cloth strip and continued to fire with his machine gun.
Where... is there anything so delicate?
At this moment.
His newlywed wife's face showed not only worry, but also heartache and a look of disapproval.
"You're already covered in wounds, how can it not hurt?"
If there is no medical kit at home.
Otherwise, Jiang Rou would have wanted to give medicine directly to Zhou Chongshan.
right……
medical kit.
Men with two children and a soldier at home are the most vulnerable.
Things like iodine, mercurochrome, mercurochrome, disinfectant alcohol, cotton balls...will also need to be prepared in the future.
In addition, you should also keep in mind common household medicines such as cold medicine, gastrointestinal medicine, painkillers, etc.
Jiang Rou silently took note of it in her heart, thinking that she would buy it from Taoduoduo Mall when she had enough money left in the space system.
We can only make do with it for now.
However...
"Go, go, go, go sit outside, and don't do anything else."
Jiang Rou pushed Zhou Chongshan's chest, trying to drive him out of the kitchen.
How could she possibly push Zhou Chongshan's strong body with such little strength?
But Zhou Chongshan obeyed.
The man's tall and straight figure took a step or two back under Jiang Rou's force.
"Really... big or small, why are they so troublesome..."
Jiang Rou muttered to herself softly as she turned around and went to get the food.
Zhou Chongshan's chest, where Jiang Rou had just pushed him, was buzzing and his heart was beating violently.
original……
Is this what it feels like to have a wife and have someone feel sorry for you?
No wonder those single men in the military camp dream of getting married.
It’s great to have a wife!
An unprecedented warmth completely filled Zhou Chongshan's heart.
It made him feel warm all over.
It was impossible for Zhou Chongshan to watch Jiang Rou busying herself alone, so he left for a short while and then went forward to help.
Jiang Rou was just opening the lid of another iron pot.
As soon as it was opened.
A brilliant golden yellow appeared in Zhou Chongshan's eyes.
It's like a golden legend.
