Chapter 5: Bedside
"Lin Li, a comrade named Lin Hua said that he is your second brother, and he is helping the war hero to get hospitalized."
"Finally here?" Lin Li got up in a daze and walked out quickly.
The nurse followed and said, "Comrade Lin, our dean suggested that we hire a nurse to take care of the war hero during his hospitalization. But Comrade Lin Hua is worried and insists on taking care of him himself. Can you persuade your second brother..."
"Okay, I'll discuss it with my second brother."
Because of Ling Xiao's special status, the hospital gave him a single room.
The nurse called Lin Hua outside the door: "Comrade Lin Hua, your sister is here."
When Lin Hua heard that Lin Li was coming, he hurried out to greet him.
Lin Hua has a handsome and gentle face, and his skin is fairer than other farmers.
With this appearance, he should look younger than his actual age, but the haggard and tired look on his face, as well as his unkempt hair and scruffy beard, make him look very old.
The moment Lin Li saw him, he felt sad.
I don't know if I have the heart to do this. I have such a good brother, but I still act so chaotic and irritable every day.
He is narrow-minded and greedy, and he makes himself unhappy, so he can't bear to see anyone in his family happy.
This kind of person who creates mental exhaustion at home all day long did not cause the whole family to suffer from mental illness. Her family members are really strong enough.
"Brother, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Are you tired?"
Lin Li is not the type to have a long donkey face like his real self, rolling his eyes and making sarcastic remarks when he sees his second brother.
But I can't show I'm happy either, because that would be too inconsistent with who I am.
After all, second brother Lin Hua came very late today, which was beyond Lin Li's expectation. If it were me, I would have thrown all kinds of dirty words at second brother.
But Lin Hua still felt a little uncomfortable listening to Lin Li's bland tone, and he also knew that he came too late.
Lin Li has an extremely good-looking complexion and a gentle expression, which makes him seem very approachable.
Lin Hua hadn’t even seen Lin Li’s bare face for two years.
The novelty of the moment made him dare not respond at all.
When he came, the eldest brother had already talked to him several times, asking him to be mentally prepared, saying that the girl was completely different from the previous one.
He didn't take it seriously at all.
Now I know that what my brother said was not an exaggeration.
"Did Big Brother go to pick apples first?" Lin Li asked Lin Hua, and then said, "Fortunately, he didn't change the arrangements for me in this matter."
When the eldest brother was about to leave, Lin Lu added that he should not come over until he was done with his work, as he was going to pick the ripe apples in the fields and sell them, otherwise they might be stolen.
And those apples that have not yet been colored can be left alone for a while.
At this moment, after Lin Li finished asking the question, Lin Hua was only thinking about random things and didn't hear Lin Li's question at all, so he didn't say anything.
Lin Li didn't care either.
She walked straight into the ward, and Lin Hua followed nervously from behind.
"Have you prepared even the accompanying bed?" Lin Li turned on the "inspection" mode like a leader inspecting. "Why is there only one bed? I'll ask the nurse to add another one here and move my bedding over as well."
After saying that, she walked over and looked at Ling Xiao.
Well, this guy is still so handsome.
If she had the chance to meet such a handsome and powerful hero in the 21st century, she would not have maintained the image of a single mother for 28 years, she would have jumped up long ago.
Unfortunately, in the 1980s, I messed up too many things.
Not only will she never have the chance to hook up with such a handsome man again, but he will also hate her for the rest of her life.
In that case, she would just treat it as a paper man.
You must keep yourself calm and control yourself from getting emotional.
"Sister, why are you moving here?" Lin Hua was still in a daze, but this time she responded, "Oh... are you dissatisfied with your ward? Is it because there are too many people and too many different people? Otherwise, I will talk to the doctor and set up a single room for you."
"No, I'll be fine if I come here. Ling Xiao can't move or talk, but I won't be disturbed by him."
"But don't you complain that he is always..." Lin Hua swallowed the word "too dirty".
Although he thought Ling Xiao was in a coma every day and couldn't hear anything, he was still unwilling to say it in front of Ling Xiao as it would hurt Ling Xiao's self-esteem.
"When I was taking care of him, I got up many times in the middle of the night," Lin Hua said in a different way, "I would definitely wake you up... How could you rest?"
"For two whole years, my second brother managed to survive without a good rest, but why can't I survive in just a few days?"
Lin Li took a chair and sat down. He saw a towel next to him and picked it up.
She came to wipe Ling Xiao's face very carefully.
Her actions shocked Lin Hua again.
The girl usually has a very serious obsession with cleanliness. Not to mention helping Ling Xiao wipe his face, she doesn't even want to look at Ling Xiao's face if it's dirty.
She even said nasty things, cursing Ling Xiao and Lin Hua.
Although he was used to hearing her angry scolding, Lin Hua still couldn't stand it every day.
Occasionally, when he retorted a few words to her, she would pick up a stool and throw it at him roughly. Every time, Lin Rong had to intervene to break them up.
Lin Rong is thirteen years older than Lin Li. After all, Lin Rong was like a father to Lin Li, so Lin Li would be more restrained when scolding Lin Rong.
The third brother, Lin Fu, had a bad temper. Every time he was scolded by Lin Li, he would retort angrily. If Lin Li hit him, he would run away without a trace. Therefore, Lin Li was a little afraid of him and would restrain himself.
Therefore, the biggest punching bags in the family are Lin Hua and eldest sister-in-law Su Xiangqiao. They are walking on thin ice every day and their life is too difficult.
But Lin Hua seemed to have endured more than Su Xiangqiao, because he knew that Lin Li had hated him for many years...
At this moment, Lin Hua stood there like a wooden stake, but he could hear Lin Li muttering in his ears: "Don't mention it, after helping Ling Xiao clean his face, he looks a bit better... Even though he is so thin now, it's really pitiful..."
Then Lin Li looked up and asked Lin Hua: "Second brother, have you had lunch?"
Lin Hua suddenly came back to his senses and stammered, "I ate... I ate. I also fed Ling Xiao goat milk when I came."
Lin Hua specially raised a flock of sheep at home. There were two ewes with very good milk production. It was autumn at that time, which was a good time to milk goats, so he fed Ling Xiao fresh goat milk every day.
When there is no fresh milk, goat milk powder is used.
When it comes to buying maltose and goat milk powder and the like, Lin Li would not deduct any money from them because the supply and marketing cooperative has purchase records and the organization would conduct random checks. She still didn't dare let the organization know that she treated Ling Xiao badly.
"Girl, have you eaten? Oh, yes, your injuries are so serious, you should lie down and rest for a while..." Lin Hua suddenly thought of this and felt a little scared for his slow response just now.
For the first time in his life, he was so focused on his wild thoughts that he ignored the girl's emotions.
What's more, she was a seriously injured girl.
