After Grandpa Duan left, only He Chaoyang, Duan Guangyuan, and Chu Qiao remained in the room.
Seeing that there was a divination opportunity to be had, Duan Guangyuan naturally wouldn't let it slip by.
So he quickly grabbed the prescription slip and wrote down a prescription of Chinese herbs that Chen Shuning had just mentioned, herbs that replenish qi and blood and are suitable for stewing.
He handed the prescription to Chu Qiao and said politely, "Comrade, could you please help me get the medicine? It's in the room at the end of the right side of the pharmacy."
Chu Qiao had come today to take care of two wounded soldiers, so she didn't think much of it, took the prescription, and left the clinic.
With no outsiders present, Duan Guangyuan spoke much more casually. While helping He Chaoyang stitch up his wounds again, he asked with a smile, "Third Brother He, I've never seen you protect any girl before. What? This girl wouldn't happen to be our future Third Sister-in-law He, would she?"
There was no point in hiding the fact that he liked Chen Shuning. There were no outsiders in the room right now, so he wasn't worried about ruining the girl's reputation.
So He Chaoyang simply admitted, "She's the girl I like, but whether she can become your third sister-in-law in the end depends on what she thinks."
"Oh my, this is the first time I've ever seen my brother so insecure. In the past, you would have said that your third sister-in-law would be yours sooner or later!"
"Get lost. These kinds of things are based on mutual consent, so how can they be so absolute? Alright, since you're here, I won't be hospitalized. There's a Qingshan brigade about five or six kilometers away from here, you know?"
Since he had acquaintances there, He Chaoyang decided not to stay in the hospital. He wanted to spend more time with the little girl and build a stronger relationship with her.
However, he still needed to change the dressings for his wound regularly, so he set his sights on Duan Guangyuan.
Duan Guangyuan had no idea what He Chaoyang was thinking, and replied foolishly, "I don't know. I've only been here for three days, and I haven't even gotten familiar with this military compound yet. How would I know about the brigade five or six kilometers away?"
He Chaoyang didn't care whether Duan Guangyuan knew about the Qingshan Brigade or not. The two had been friends since childhood, and he didn't stand on ceremony with Duan Guangyuan.
He said directly, "Go find it yourself by looking at the map later. Shu Ning injured her foot and can't move around easily for the next few days. I'll go take care of her for a few days. When you see my wound and need to change the dressing, go find me there."
"Well, brother, it's rare for you old iron tree to bloom, so as your younger brother, I naturally have to give your full support."
"You can take your sister-in-law home in a bit, and I'll come find you when it's time to change her dressing."
After finishing their business, the two chatted for a while, and then He Yushan pushed Chen Shuning back.
Chu Qiao, who had gone to get the medicine, also returned. Seeing that it was already past 2 p.m., the group didn't delay and got the medicine.
When He Chaoyang went to say goodbye to Grandpa Duan, Duan Guangyuan hurriedly ran back to his dormitory to get a few sets of his own clothes for He Chaoyang to take with him.
He Chaoyang's clothes were so dirty that they were unwearable. The two were about the same size, so He Chaoyang could fit into Duan Guangyuan's clothes. He Chaoyang didn't stand on ceremony with him. After collecting the clothes, the group set off towards the Qingshan Brigade.
This time, He Chaoyang still planned to stay in the small house he had temporarily rented last time. However, because Chen Shuning had difficulty walking, He Chaoyang needed to find a house from the brigade leader himself.
He Chaoyang also thought it would be a good opportunity to ask if the coal he had promised the brigade leader to buy had been delivered.
Because he left in a hurry last time, He Chaoyang only gave his regards and didn't really know whether the matter was handled well or not.
If things haven't been resolved yet, he might have to make another trip to town tomorrow.
You should know that although the captain's official rank is not high, he is in charge of all the affairs inside and outside the brigade.
If he can get along well with her, he'll feel more at ease with her here.
So when the car passed the brigade headquarters, He Chaoyang asked Chu Qiao to put him down.
Go to the brigade headquarters to find the brigade leader, and then have Chu Qiao take Chen Shuning back to the educated youth settlement first.
Because the grain was handed over yesterday, all the brigade cadres are busy at the brigade headquarters settling the remaining grain and the grain to be distributed to the villagers. So the brigade leader is currently in the courtyard of the brigade headquarters.
Upon hearing the sound of a car engine in the distance, everyone in the brigade headquarters looked outside.
Keep in mind that cars were a rarity at that time and were not commonly seen.
When the captain saw He Chaoyang getting out of the car, he quickly put down what he was doing and came out to greet him.
From afar, they could hear Shen Baogen's clearly happy voice: "Chaoyang, what brings you here now? Is something the matter?"
"Uncle, I just want to rent the house at the educated youth settlement for a few more days."
I was thinking that Shuning didn't have enough firewood for the winter, and since I had some time off, I thought I'd come over and help her collect firewood for a few more days.
"I promised his brother I'd help take care of the little girl. If she gets cold in the first year, I won't be able to explain it to his brother."
The brigade leader was pleased to hear about this. The house was just sitting there anyway, and he would be happy if he could rent it out and make some money.
So he hurriedly replied with a smile, "That makes sense. That little girl, Chen, is afraid of the cold. When the house was being built, she specifically asked that the walls be built thicker, saying that she was not in good health and was afraid of the cold, so she needed to gather more firewood."
At this point, the brigade leader suddenly seemed to remember something and looked at He Chaoyang with a troubled expression, saying, "But Chaoyang, this morning Shuning twisted her ankle while going up the mountain with the educated youth to collect firewood. It seems she went to the town hospital to have her foot checked. Why don't you come to my house and wait for a while? Your aunt has been saying she wants to thank you properly."
