Shen Chengyi's expression was normal, but he was extremely happy in his heart. Su Yuehua hadn't come for the past two days, and he almost vomited the food he had eaten half a month ago when he saw the young couple next door being so affectionate. Now, he also has a family member, who is still so considerate, gentle and meticulous. Even canned food is cut into small pieces and fed to him one spoonful at a time.
Next to them, a young couple was afraid of being outdone, so the woman not only made malted milk for the man, but also cut an orange for him, cutting it so carefully that she even removed the white veins on the orange. Then she fed the man a spoonful of malted milk and a piece of orange.
Su Yuehua's stomach churned at the sight. She wanted to step forward and remind people not to eat like that, but she was afraid of being scolded for meddling in other people's business.
Shen Chengyi noticed that Su Yuehua was staring at the bed next to him, so he followed her line of sight and looked over. This made the man's damn competitive spirit come up, "Wife, I want to eat braised pork tomorrow."
"Okay." Su Yuehua hurriedly agreed, fearing that if she was a step slower, Chen Chengyi would change his mind and ask for malted milk with orange. The key point was that these two things really couldn't be eaten together.
The older brother on the opposite bed looked at them as if they were watching a foreign spectacle, his eyes wide open, and he said with a smile: "Brother, you two look like newlyweds at first glance. You have been living together for a long time, so how can you have the energy to do all these fancy things? If I told my wife that I wanted to drink malted milk, she would glare at me and add, "You look like malted milk to me."
The brother in the opposite bed said this while accommodating his actions, which made everyone in the ward burst into laughter.
The young couple next to them felt a little embarrassed by what the big brother on the opposite bed said, so they stopped making trouble.
The next morning, Su Yuehua went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a washbasin and toiletries. She slept on the side of Shen Chengyi's bed last night, and she almost fell to the ground by the smell of him, as if she hadn't taken a shower in who knows how long.
Then I went to a state-owned restaurant and ordered him a portion of braised pork.
When he returned to the hospital, Gao Chunhai and three others had already arrived and were chatting with Shen Chengyi.
She greeted, "Haruhi, have you guys eaten?"
Gao Chunhai stood up from the bedside and said, "Sister-in-law, we came here after eating, and we brought buns for you and Chengyi. Come eat them. Let's go out and have a cigarette."
After he said that, he walked out of the ward, leaving the space for the two of them.
Su Yuehua first went to the water room to get a basin of water, then added hot water to it, tested the water temperature first, then took out a new towel, wet it and wrung it dry, then walked to the bed to wipe Shen Chengyi’s face.
She moved gently, slowly moving the towel across his face, carefully wiping the corners of his eyes, cochlea, neck, and every part of his body. The hot air brushed across his cheeks, and Shen Chengyi felt that all the pores on his face were stretched out. During the days he was missing, he had been hanging on the tree, and he had no food to eat, let alone wash his face.
After he was hospitalized, the hospital found a caregiver for him who was not only rude at work but was also often absent. Not to mention giving him a bath, it was good enough that he could get meals on time.
But it's different now. When Su Yuehua came, he didn't need to say anything and took the initiative to get water for him to wash. This is not only love, but also the tacit understanding between lovers. Shen Chengyi raised his eyes and looked at her without blinking, his whole heart warm.
Su Yuehua's cheeks became hot under his gaze. She wiped them twice and pulled her hands out of the quilt. "Didn't you say you wanted to eat braised pork last night? I just went to the state-owned restaurant to buy it. I'll feed it to you after I pour the water."
After she finished speaking, she picked up the basin and was about to go to the water room to pour the water, when she heard Shen Chengyi cough twice, "Wife, there is no wipe, it's sticky."
As soon as Su Yuehua saw Shen Chengyi's expression, she guessed what she was talking about, and lowered her voice and said, "Didn't I just wipe it?"
Shen Chengyi tightened his lips and said in a low voice: "It's not wiped clean."
"You've endured it even though it wasn't wiped clean." Su Yuehua really wanted to throw the towel in his face. Didn't she know this? This was a large ward, and there were so many eyes watching it.
How do you wipe it carefully? Do you want to put it on display?
After saying that, she stopped talking nonsense and walked out of the ward carrying the basin of water.
After Su Yuehua poured the water and walked into the ward, she heard the man in the next bed say that he was dirty and needed to wipe it.
Her wife was a typical Jiangnan woman, speaking softly, "Didn't I just wipe your wound last night? You just had surgery, you can't wipe it all the time. If the wound touches water, it will get infected. If you want to eat anything, I'll buy it for you."
The man glanced at the lunch box that Su Yuehua placed on the medical table and said, "I want to eat braised pork."
"Okay, I'll buy it for you now." The woman responded with a long tone, took the lunch box and walked out of the ward.
Su Yuehua was just about to remind her that since she had just had surgery, she shouldn't eat greasy food like braised pork, but the woman had already walked away quickly.
Out of her medical responsibility, she kindly reminded the man, "You just had surgery two days ago. You can't eat too much oil."
But the man didn't appreciate it at all, and didn't even raise his eyelids, "Your husband can eat it, why can't I? Or are you jealous that my wife obeys me in everything."
Su Yuehua was almost choked by his words, and she also witnessed what it meant to be unrecognizable. Chen Chengyi's body only had external injuries, and eating meat was a tonic.
She didn't want to argue with the man, so she sat down beside Shen Chengyi's bed with a lunch box in one hand and chopsticks in the other, picked up a piece of braised pork and put it to his mouth, "Wait until you finish your meal, I'll ask the doctor when you can be discharged from the hospital."
Just now, Su Yuehua washed Shen Chengyi's body and checked his injuries. They were all scratched by branches when he fell off the cliff. After two days of recuperation, he was no longer serious.
Shen Chengyi swallowed the braised pork he was chewing and said, "Before we go back, let's go see the family that saved me. At that time, I fell off the cliff and was hanging on a tree halfway up the cliff. My right hand was injured and I couldn't jump down at all. Just when I was desperate and thought I would starve to death, I saw the father and son climbing up the cliff to collect herbs."
Su Yuehua was frightened after hearing this. She couldn't imagine how desperate Shen Chengyi was at that time. "We should thank this father and son very much."
Shen Chengyi nodded and said in a low voice: "Did you bring money this time? It's difficult to save my father and son because they have patients at home. Otherwise, they can't do such dangerous work of collecting herbs."
"I brought it." Su Yuehua was not sure what would happen this time, so she brought enough money and hid it on her and Shen Chengzhong respectively. He leaned close to Shen Chengyi's ear and said, "How much do you plan to give? If the money I have is not enough, my brother still has more."
Shen Chengyi stretched out a finger and gestured a number one. Of course, this one was one thousand, not one hundred. For saving his life, one thousand was not too much.
"Okay, I'll get it for you later." Su Yuehua was afraid that it would be unsafe to carry so much money on the road, so before leaving, she asked Bai Xiuying and Huang Guihua to sew secret pockets in her and Shen Chengzhong's underwear respectively.
After she finished feeding Shen Chengyi, she was about to get up and go to the bathroom to take out the money hidden on her body when the woman in the bed next to her walked into the ward happily carrying the braised pork.
