"Those who survive a great disaster will surely enjoy good fortune in the future. Director Yin has made great contributions in this operation. He will surely enjoy a long and prosperous life in the future. Don't be too sad. Take good care of him. His recovery is the most important thing."
Aunt Zhao's gentle comfort was like a warm current, and the echoes of the crowd were full of encouragement and blessings.
Xu Qinghe responded with a strong smile, "Thank you, Auntie. I will. I heard that he doesn't like to drink water very much, so I've tried to get him to drink some. I wanted to give him some chicken soup to nourish him, and I happened to have brought a lot of good things from home."
After a casual chat, the kitchen turned into a small station for conveying warmth and strength. Various interesting stories and gossips were interspersed in the relaxed and happy atmosphere, and the work in hand was completed smoothly without realizing it.
As the aroma of the chicken soup gradually became richer and the staple food was ready, Xu Qinghe carefully put the chicken soup into the thermos, carefully cleaned the pot, packed a portion of rice, and prepared to return to the ward.
However, at this moment, an old lady with silver hair rushed into the kitchen with an empty bowl in her hand, as if she had discovered a rare treasure: "Chicken soup! I want a bowl too. Oh, the aroma is so tempting!"
The people in the kitchen were clearly not welcoming this uninvited guest. They all gave him helpless looks and said, "This isn't from the cafeteria. A family member borrowed the stove and cooked it themselves."
"Can I borrow the stove? No way! Things in the cafeteria must belong to the cafeteria. I want to take some away too!"
The old lady's attitude was firm, and she seemed to believe that she had the right to enjoy this pot of chicken soup.
Xu Qinghe didn't want to cause any trouble and just wanted to leave as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, the old lady suddenly rushed out, grabbed her, and said with a bit of rogue in her words: "If you don't give me half, don't even think about leaving!"
Xu Qinghe felt helpless. Why are there always people in this world who are so unreasonable?
"Are you planning to take it by force?"
Xu Qinghe suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and tried to keep his voice calm.
She knew very well that it would be difficult for her to gain the upper hand in an argument with such a person. After all, the other party could use the advantage of age to act like an elder teaching a younger person. Once things got out of hand, she would be the one who suffered.
"You said I robbed you? I didn't take any less money from you! Is it wrong to give me some?"
The old lady took the opportunity to try to occupy the moral high ground.
Xu Qinghe seized the opportunity and retorted, "If you give me money, wouldn't that make me a businessman? Reselling food? Oh, you, old lady, are still so noisy. I'm going to have to consider reporting you for your inappropriate behavior!"
As he spoke, Xu Qinghe gently shook off the old lady's hand and was about to leave, but the old lady stood there in a daze, not knowing how to respond to this sudden accusation of being a "smuggler".
"What nonsense are you talking about! I didn't do that!"
The old lady reacted and hurriedly caught up, still arguing, "Then I won't pay, why don't you just give me some?"
Xu Qinghe's lips curled up into a slightly sarcastic smile, his voice cold and firm, "Isn't that blatant looting of public property? Our PLA comrades are standing guard outside. If we run into a veteran like you, we won't show any mercy. Do you understand?"
These words were powerful and revealed an irrefutable majesty.
Upon hearing this, the old lady's face turned pale, her eyes filled with fear. Her previous arrogance was completely extinguished, and she dared not say another word. She could only stare blankly at Xu Qinghe's figure that was getting farther and farther away, with complex emotions flashing in her eyes.
In the kitchen, several busy staff members witnessed this scene silently, secretly applauding in their hearts.
There was a hint of admiration in their eyes, and they all gave a thumbs up in the direction Xu Qinghe left.
You know, every time this old lady came to dine, she was always very confident and insisted on serving the dishes herself. She also piled up the plates like a mountain and ignored their dissuasion.
She either emphasized that she had already paid, or used the excuse that "my son is a hero defending the country, so he should eat more if he is injured" as a shield.
Considering that her son had indeed worked hard for the country, although everyone was dissatisfied with her unreasonable behavior, they could only endure it.
Who would have thought that the new Miss Jane had such skills that with just a few words, she made the old lady speechless and submissive.
Everyone secretly admired him and felt that they had learned another trick to deal with difficult customers.
After Xu Qinghe returned to the ward, he did not rush to enjoy his lunch. Instead, he carefully scooped out a small bowl of hot chicken soup from the thermos and prepared to feed it to the unconscious Yin Yunjie himself.
Just at this moment, she noticed that Yin Yunjie's eyelids were trembling slightly, and he seemed to be showing signs of waking up.
He slowly opened his eyes, as if struggling out of a dream.
"Yin Yunjie, you're awake!"
There was uncontrollable excitement and joy in Xu Qinghe's voice.
She quickly put down the bowl in her hand and asked gently, "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Do you want me to call a doctor right away?"
Her eyes were full of concern, fearing that Yin Yunjie would feel the slightest bit uncomfortable.
When Yin Yunjie woke up, he initially thought he was still immersed in a dream.
The Xu Qinghe in front of him was whiter and tenderer than he remembered. Her round face was full of youthful radiance, and her eyes were shining with joy as she smiled at him.
Her real and energetic voice made him sure that he had escaped from the scythe of death and returned to the world, and she was by his side.
Soon, the doctor came hurriedly, with an unconcealable look of surprise on his face.
After a careful examination, Yin Yunjie's vital signs were all normal, which finally put everyone's mind at ease.
"He showed no signs of waking up before, but he woke up as soon as you arrived today. It seems that the power of family companionship is the most powerful and is more conducive to regaining consciousness!"
The doctor joked, smelling the aroma of chicken soup in the air, and reminded him: "It's good to drink some chicken soup for nourishment, but you have to stop in moderation. He is in a weak state now, and excessive nourishment is not good."
"Understood."
A shy blush appeared on Xu Qinghe's cheeks and she nodded slightly.
She didn't expect that the doctor who was usually serious could be so humorous in private, which made her feel a little surprised and embarrassed.
As the doctor's footsteps gradually faded away, the tranquility of the two of them returned to the ward.
Jian Shuyue dragged a chair over and sat beside the bed. She carefully blew on the chicken soup in the bowl to cool it down, then gently handed it to Yin Yunjie's lips: "You just woke up. Come and try this bowl of chicken soup. I just cooked it in the cafeteria. It's delicious!"
"Thanks a lot."
Yin Yunjie was silent for a moment and could only barely squeeze out these three words.
Then he opened his mouth slightly to welcome the spoonful of hot soup.
