Yu Sui felt uncomfortable with Sister Yuan’s statement.
She said goodbye quickly: "Sister Yuan brought Lili some food? I have to go back to the ward to wait for the doctor to remove the stitches. Lili, you should rest for a while. Goodbye."
Seeing Yu Sui hurried away, Ding Lili couldn't help but glance at her mother:
"Mom, why did you deliberately hurt the family of the battalion commander? Don't be like this. I've already told you that it was really me who insisted on going to the river that made her accompany me. I really can't blame her. Look, the gauze on her head hasn't been removed yet. I saw her being pushed into the river with my own eyes. Maybe if I had stood on her side, I would have been the one pushed. After all, I am the daughter of the regiment commander. If those spies wanted to take revenge, wouldn't they take revenge on me first? I was really anxious at the time, thinking that if she died, I would not have survived. Xia Lin was still alive and cried by the river for several days, and she was found. Why did you deliberately hurt her like this!"
Sister Yuan curled her lips and said sourly:
"What do you mean I stabbed him on purpose? He's actually the battalion commander's family member! Your dad said this morning that Jia Sikun was arrested for making such a big mistake, and we don't know what the sentence will be. Doesn't that mean the position of the third battalion commander is vacant? Besides, Xia Lin had performed meritorious service several times before his death.
By the way, it is said that your husband also helped to report that Yu Sui, a military family member, had reformed the antifreeze solution for the entire military region and was one of the top ten military wives. Now, the higher-ups have issued a document all of a sudden, Fang Geng has been promoted to the rank of battalion commander, and Xia Linsheng has been promoted to deputy battalion commander!
Look at you, you have no vision. If you had married Xia Linshengduotu, you would have told me that I deliberately stabbed her. This has already been posted, and I can't say it? Really!"
The news came so suddenly that the straightforward Ding Lili listened to her mother's scolding, her mouth hanging open in a daze for a long moment before she uttered with a wistful expression, "...so it turns out to be like this...she's so lucky."
Sister Yuan threw the lunch box she brought on the bedside table with a "bang":
"Of course! You're so lucky! A country girl is now the wife of a deputy battalion commander. And you, first you got divorced, and now you're married to this guy, who has no skills and a bad temper. I called him home to get a lunch box to send you, but he actually told me that he had something else to do in his fleet and that I had to send it myself. What an attitude!"
Ding Lili looked up at her mother, and finally, she lifted the quilt, crawled in and covered her head, refusing to make another sound.
Sister Yuan couldn't stop herself and continued to mutter:
"Really? If I had known that Xia Linsheng was so lucky, your father should have married you. Now you're marrying him, you're really unlucky. If it weren't for the fact that you could stay with us if you married him, I would never have agreed! After all, he's ignorant and incompetent, and his family is so poor..."
Not long after Yu Sui returned to her ward, the doctor came to remove the stitches.
The wound healed quickly. Although some hair was cut off at the wound site, it will grow back soon.
Yu Sui was very happy and started packing her things.
Two nurses came in and took away the IV stand and bottle.
Yu Sui's space had unlimited supplies. She had previously secretly given the two nurses in charge of her ward candies, hairpins, Ya Shuang, and other small things women liked. Therefore, the two nurses were familiar with Yu Sui and greeted her in a relaxed tone: "How are you? Are you going home soon?"
Yu Sui: "Yes, thank you for taking care of me these days."
One of the nurses, Sun, said, "Ha, we didn't take care of you. It was your husband who took care of you. Look at his attitude. If you didn't know, you would think you were in confinement after childbirth!"
Another nurse, Qin, also chimed in: "It's not some confinement period at all. In my opinion, her husband is treating her like a baby who's not even a month old. It's so painful, hahaha!"
Everyone laughed for a while, and Yu Sui said frankly without any shame: "Of course not. If he didn't treat me like this, I would go to someone else's house and be a baby."
Nurse Sun: "Yes, yes, yes, go back to being a baby. It's so comfortable at home. Oh, and on the night of the first day of July, don't lie down at home. Stay outdoors and watch the seven stars and the moon to ward off evil spirits."
Yu Sui didn't understand: "Huh? What?"
Nurse Qin paused, "You don't know, huh? I don't know where this rumor came from, but it says that on the first night of July this month, don't stay at home. Stay outdoors. If you can see the seven stars and the moon, you'll be able to avoid the evil spirits of July. Otherwise, there will be a disaster this month."
Yu Sui was stunned for a while, then remembered that the first day of July seemed to be July 27th!
Yes, she was in the hospital so long that she almost forgot such an important thing.
Yu Sui became excited and grabbed Nurse Qin: "The first day of the new year you are talking about, is it the night of July 27th?"
Seeing how anxious she was, Nurse Sun became nervous and pulled Nurse Qin away: "Hey, hey, hey, Xiao Qin, please stop talking. The director said that we can't be superstitious."
Nurse Qin: "Oh, this is not superstition. Didn't you hear it? Several people said so. They all said so after returning from the capital! If it wasn't true, who would say such nonsense after returning from the capital?"
Of course Yu Sui didn't know what was going on.
The rumors she had spread before seemed to be of some use, and she felt relieved.
Although this kind of "avoiding evil spirits" sounds really unreliable and unscientific, at least people like Wang Zhenmin are trying their best to convey the message of avoiding earthquakes to everyone without causing panic.
When it comes to big things, you can't be particular about methods or approaches. Even if half of the people can believe this kind of news, it's useless!
Yu Sui quickly leaned over and agreed, "That's right. To be honest, I was passing through Tangshan a few days ago and heard someone on the train saying the same thing. They even said it was a deity sent down to earth to tell us, so we had to believe it. Anyway, it was just that one day, and it's summer now, so it's not that cold at night. We might as well stay outdoors for a while."
Although there will be no earthquake here, it is still possible to make everyone willing to believe that such a thing exists, and to spread the news to each other and pay attention to it. Who knows if it will save someone in the dark?
Nurse Qin was delighted to see that Yu Sui didn't object to this idea: "That's right! I think so too. I'll sleep outdoors on the first night of the new year."
Nurse Sun: "Haha, that's a nice thought, Comrade Xiao Qin, you will be on duty on the first day of the new year!"
"Ah? Oh, I completely forgot about that."
"It's okay. I'll move your dormitory bed out to the open air and help you."
"Hahaha!"
The two nurses left with a smile.
After a while, Xia Linsheng came back. He strode into the ward, his face full of smiles.
Yu Sui had already packed everything she needed to take with her. Seeing Xia Linsheng's face, she couldn't help but smile, "Why are you so happy? Captain Fang, what were you doing?"
Xia Linsheng suddenly stood in front of Yu Sui and held her face: "Guess!"
