Gu Huaijin looked up at her and saw that she was washing up in the kitchen. He said in a deep voice, "I'll do it in a while. You boil some water and go to bed quickly after washing up."
Song Zhi felt embarrassed to throw all the work to him, so he stood there hesitantly without moving. "Do you still want to have a stomachache?" Gu Huaijin said coldly.
Well, she didn't want to, so she quickly started to boil water. After boiling the water, she simply washed up and went to the bedroom. She couldn't take a shower during her period, but she was the type who would feel uncomfortable if she didn't take a shower for a day.
She tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep, and she didn't fall asleep until Gu Huaijin came in.
Gu Huaijin lay on the bed, listening to her tossing and turning, and sighed deeply before asking, "Are you feeling unwell?"
As he was about to reach out his hand, Song Zhi didn't react for a moment. When he rubbed his belly, his fair and tender little face turned red little by little.
Yesterday she was in so much pain and was so sleepy that when he rubbed her stomach she was only thinking about sleeping and had no time to think. Today she was awake, but she still felt a little embarrassed.
However, when the broad palm pressed on her belly, the rough touch of the fingertips was obvious, and she felt inexplicably at ease, and did not say a word for a while.
After a while, Song Zhi suddenly asked, "Have you ever seen a psychiatrist before?"
Gu Huaijin's body stiffened, and his voice was a little hoarse. "I have seen it."
Song Zhi hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively, "Can you tell me what happened?"
Gu Huaijin glanced at her, seeing the confusion in her eyes and her genuine desire to hear, so he slowly spoke, "The situation back then was actually the same as Zhou Miaomiao's a few days ago. She was the wife of our regiment's deputy commander. She secretly took the ordnance blueprints and, after being discovered, refused to comply. According to the organization's instructions, I impulsively chose to kill her. However, I didn't expect that the deputy commander would block her when I opened the wooden warehouse. They also had a baby who was not yet full-term."
Listening to Gu Huaijin speak, you can feel his grief. He is sad that a comrade who fought with him was killed by his own hands.
Song Zhi turned around to face him, gently hugged him, patted his back, and said in a soothing tone, "None of this is caused by you. It was his own choice. He couldn't bear to see his wife die in front of him, nor could he choose to protect his wife and betray the organization. In fact... maybe in his opinion, doing this would make him feel better."
Gu Huaijin hugged her tightly with his backhand. At this moment, it had nothing to do with love. It was just two souls snuggling together, supporting Gu Huaijin's heart.
"Things were so urgent at the time that it was too late even if you wanted to stop it." Song Zhi counseled. After all, this matter had been a knot in his heart for many years, and he had not let it go even after so many years. Presumably, the most important thing was not the counseling of the psychologist, but whether he could get over it himself.
Song Zhixiang's inability to open the wooden warehouse may be a greater blow to him. This is a career that he is proud of and has loved all his life. Suddenly, he can no longer continue to pursue a literary career and has given up his military career. He was sent to such a place by his leader and could not wield his power freely on the battlefield. No matter from which aspect, it hit him hard. He was trapped in self-blame and self-doubt and had no way out.
Gu Huaijin remained silent, and Song Zhi also did not speak. The bedroom was completely quiet.
The next day, Song Zhi unexpectedly discovered that green sprouts had appeared on the strawberries.
"Now we just have to see if they can bear fruit," Song Zhi said excitedly. Greenhouse cultivation requires the right temperature. It's too late to plant now; the strawberries are already bearing fruit. But she'll try to control the temperature as much as possible.
Gu Huaijin got up and cleared the snow in the yard. When he heard Song Zhi say that, he went over to take a look: "It has sprouted."
"Yes, let's try and see if it bears fruit!"
"Take your time, there's no rush. Just now, when you were still asleep, Aunt Zhao came over and said that we were going to the store to draw lots for the land today."
"So soon?"
"Everyone is urging us to do this." Gu Huaijin thought about the family members' headache over the land division issue these days.
"Okay then, shall we go together later?"
"I'm going to the office in a while. You can have dinner with Aunt Zhao after that, okay?" Gu Huaijin said in a coaxing tone.
"Okay, I'll go eat first." Song Zhi said with a smile.
After dinner, Song Zhi went to find Aunt Zhao: "Sister-in-law, are you coming over now?"
"Don't worry, it won't start until ten o'clock." Zhao Yun gave some dried radishes to Song Zhi.
"Here, I know you didn't make it, and I didn't think of reminding you. Let me tell you, this stewed vermicelli dish is delicious."
Song Zhi looked at the bag handed to him, took it with a smile and said, "Thank you, Auntie. I really like dried radish."
Seeing the joy on her face, Zhao Yun felt that he had given the right gift.
"It's good to eat more radishes in this season." Zhao Yun sighed. This vegetable is generally cheap and very good.
Walking on the road, Zhao Yun said to Song Zhi: "Thanks to you for reminding me to ask Lao Qin about the gift, otherwise it would be a big problem. I have to thank you very much."
Song Zhi was puzzled. "What do you mean, aunt?"
Zhao Yun was surprised and said, "Don't you know? The commander returned all the gifts to those family members who gave him gifts. Not only that, they didn't even have to draw lots for their land. They just decided on wasteland. It's really a case of losing more than you gain. At that time, I even persuaded you to go too. Really..."
Song Zhi didn't expect such a result. She thought she would be criticized and educated at most.
Arriving at the canteen, they lined up and drew lots. Song Zhi's seat wasn't very close to the front, and Zhao Yun couldn't hide his joy when he got his assigned spot, but he held back from sharing it with Song Zhi while he waited for her to draw.
Song Zhi glanced at the place he drew, "Seven-fen Land in the Southeast Corner", and was not sure where it was, with confusion on his face.
Zhao Yun saw this and went over to take a look: "This is a good place, we are close."
Sun Ning happened to come over and saw them both laughing so happily. He asked, "It seems like you are both satisfied with the draw."
Zhao Yun smiled and asked, "Where did you get?"
Sun Ning forced a smile and said, "I'm not a family member, so I won't get involved in this." This meant that she was not qualified to divide the land, and Zhao Yun stopped smiling.
Seeing this, Song Zhi interrupted and asked, "Sister-in-law was so happy just now, is there any good news?"
Zhao Yun also stared at her curiously. Sun Ning felt a little embarrassed: "The director of the women's department introduced me to a girl a few days ago."
"This...why haven't I heard you talk about this before?" Zhao Yun was surprised.
"At first, I wasn't sure and didn't make it public."
"Is it settled now?" Song Zhi was also curious about who the other person was, but since they didn't know each other well, it wouldn't be a good idea to ask directly. Besides, he would know in a few days. So he smiled and said, "Congratulations, sister-in-law."
Zhao Yun also hurriedly congratulated him, saying, "You have finally come to a happy ending after all the hardships you have endured. You will have someone to take care of you in the future."
Sun Ning raised the corners of his mouth and said gently, "I had no plans to get married, but after spending some time with him, I felt that he was very responsible and responsible, so I thought it would be nice to be together. You know this guy, Auntie, he's Sun Daguo from the Second Battalion."
