"I really envy Huang Xiaoyu now. It's her turn to be in charge of the special ward."
"Do you want to be someone's stepmother? That big shot is almost 100 years old, but he lost his wife two years ago."
"How do you know so much about this? Do you know him?"
"He used to be a division commander in the Northeast Military Region. Now he seems to have retired due to illness! But you should know his son, Director Peng of the Harbin Revolutionary Committee."
"It turned out to be him!"
Yao Yanfang came out of the toilet after the person who just spoke left. Yao Yanfang knew Commander Peng. They had met several times before when they were in the family compound.
Now that she has lost her man and Mr. Peng has lost his wife, can't they just become a couple?
Yao Yanfang, who had become suspicious, sneaked into the special ward during the lunch break. She searched several wards before she found Teacher Peng.
At this time, all of Commander Peng's family members had left, and he was the only one lying on the bed in the ward.
"Master Peng, what happened to you? I haven't seen you for a few years. How come you have lost so much weight? Is it because your sister-in-law didn't take good care of you?"
Teacher Peng looked at Yao Yanfang and thought for a long time before he remembered who she was: "You are Jianshe's wife, right? I haven't seen Jianshe for so many years. Are you still happy?"
"Commander Peng, you really have a bad memory. I'm Yao Yanfang. Jianshe died some time ago." When Yao Yanfang mentioned Lin Jianshe, she pretended to be sad and lowered her head.
"Please accept my condolences. It's not easy for you to be a military wife. You have to take care of yourself and your children." Commander Peng felt a little sad when he heard that Lin Jianshe had sacrificed his life, but the country comes first and then the family. They, the soldiers, are here to serve the people.
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Peng. The children and I are very happy. The children didn't want to stay in this sad place and returned to their hometown. I am the only one left here. I also want to die for what I love to do, just like Jianshe."
"Don't call me Master Peng anymore. I'm not a master anymore. Call me Big Brother Peng! If you have any problems in the future, just come to me. I will help you if I can."
"Brother Peng, I just came to see you today. I saw that you had no one to take care of you. How about I make some soup for you tonight? You just had surgery, so you'll feel better after drinking some soup."
"No need, my daughter-in-law will bring me food in the evening. It's not easy for you to live alone, so don't spend money." Commander Peng had no intention of asking Yao Yanfang to make soup for him, they had no relationship.
"It's because my sister-in-law is dead, otherwise how could she leave you alone in the hospital. Let me take care of you for my sister-in-law. You see, you have lost so much weight recently."
Teacher Peng awkwardly pushed away Yao Yanfang's hand that was about to touch his face. What was she trying to do? Why was she touching him? If others saw him, he couldn't wash himself clean even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
"Xiao Yao, right? You should go back to work first! The people who take care of me will be back soon." Commander Peng wanted to kick him out directly, but he was worried about whether Yao Yanfang would save face, so he could only give a subtle reminder.
"Then I'll go back first. You take a rest. I'll come back to see you in the evening." Yao Yanfang left the ward without waiting for anyone to refuse. She knew she was too anxious today. She would go back first and come back after making soup in the evening. She didn't believe that she couldn't win over an old man with her looks.
