Yu Sui rubbed her eyes, and rubbed them again. Xia Linsheng had already handed the child to Xia Xiao'e and walked towards Yu Sui: "Are you up? Are you okay? You look so thin! You were sick, why didn't you call me earlier?"
It was Xia Linsheng, wearing a spring uniform. The red badge on his collar was so glaring, and his phoenix eyes were full of heartache and anxiety.
Yu Sui reached out and poked his face: "Am I dreaming?"
Xia Linsheng shook his head, bent down and picked her up: "Go to the house and rest!"
Yu Sui was startled by the sudden loss of balance and quickly hooked her arms around Xia Linsheng's neck.
Her hands felt warm, and Xia Linsheng's strong arms hurt her neck.
It turned out to be the real Xia Linsheng!
Yu Sui looked at him in surprise, her eyes fixed on him.
Xia Linsheng put her on the bed, gave her a pillow to lean on, and whispered softly: "Would you like some water? I'll pour it for you."
Yu Sui: "How... did you get here?"
"drive."
"You came at the right time, I just happened to be feeling unwell."
"No, it was Yu Cheng who called our unit. I happened to be in the military area, not at the border. The guy at the telephone office knew me and told me urgently, so I borrowed a car and drove over."
"...When did I call you?"
"It was early in the morning. I drove for a little over fifteen hours, so it didn't take long."
Yu Sui looked around confusedly: "What time is it now?"
Xia Linsheng: "It's past nine o'clock. I asked the doctor, and he said the child doesn't have a high fever now, so I can bring him back."
"You mean, nine o'clock in the evening?"
"yes."
Yu Sui exhaled: "I saw that it was still dark, and I thought it was still dark!"
Xia Linsheng reached out and hugged her: "My poor wife, she is delirious due to the fever."
Yu Sui smiled bitterly: "I wasn't pitiful originally, but now that you put it that way, I think I'm quite pitiful."
"I'm sorry." Xia Linsheng rested his chin on Yu Sui's shoulder, his voice choked.
Yu Sui hugged him back. "I don't think you need to say sorry. Coming to the capital to study was my own choice. Although I was a little angry with you yesterday when I was particularly tired, I later became more rational and realized that you are also working, and I should try to solve the problem myself. I didn't expect Yu Cheng to call you."
Xia Linsheng hugged Yu Sui tighter: "Don't always be a good wife. If you do that, I will feel that you will abandon me at any time. You are too good and can handle everything by yourself. You don't want me anymore. You should be angry with me. I think I can still be of use to you."
This made Yu Sui laugh: "Really? If I could do everything, I really wouldn't need you. But, are you here on leave?"
Xia Linsheng sniffed: "Yes. I took half of my leave and plan to stay here with you guys for a while longer."
"Huh? I was thinking of letting you come during the summer vacation, but now you've taken half of it. What's next?"
"I'll take you north when the time comes. It's more comfortable for us to live north in the summer."
"That's true. Oh, by the way, Xiao'e said, what kind of wet nurse did the child find?"
Xia Linsheng: "Yes. It was Xiao E who found it. Surprisingly, she is quite smart. I heard from Yu Cheng that after they called and returned to the hospital, they saw you collapsed on the bed. Xiao E said that this couldn't work and that you had to be hospitalized as well. You couldn't breastfeed the child anymore. She went to find someone who could breastfeed and ran to the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital, looking for those who had milk after giving birth! She actually found someone, and Yu Cheng and she pooled the money and sent Xiao Tangyuan there to eat for several meals. Yu Cheng also said that Xiao E called Yu Cheng in order to get him to call me."
Yu Sui was surprised and appreciative: "She didn't say anything just now. She even said that you came and carried me home."
"Actually, when I came, she and Yu Cheng had already taken care of it. I just carried you to the car and brought you back. Everything else was basically the solution they came up with and the doctor they found."
Yu Sui was quite touched. This fifteen-year-old girl was so brave and smart. She deserved to be nurtured.
"Good job. By the way, since you're here, you need to do me a favor right away. Send a telegram to Li Afen and say... we're sending Xiao'e to school, and we need her household registration booklet and her graduation certificate. If she sends them right away, we can still give her five yuan a month. If she doesn't, she'll get nothing from now on. Write, 'Send Xiao'e's household registration booklet and graduation certificate immediately, and pay five yuan. Otherwise, we'll have no further dealings.'"
Xia Linsheng: "Shh, you're still going to keep your distance from me? What's your response?"
Yu Sui told Professor Lan Qingyue about the two people who needed certificates, Xia Linsheng, and explained:
"People like Li Afen, knowing that we wouldn't give them money, would go to my mother and curse us. If she knew we needed Xiao'e's household registration booklet or something, I'm afraid she would hold on to it and refuse to give it to us, so I'd rather give her some money.
In this case, anything that can be solved with money is not a problem. Besides, Xiao'e got burned trying to save Xiao Tangyuan this time. I feel really bad about it, but I'm also a little grateful to Li Afen. If she hadn't forced Xiao'e to come here, Xiao Tangyuan might have lost a family member. Everything in the world has a cause and effect, so I'm willing to help them again for Xiao'e's sake."
Xia Linsheng sighed, "Okay, I just wanted to tell you that starting this month, my enlistment period has been increased, so my salary has increased by ten yuan a month. I can afford it, so I'll give it to you."
Yu Sui smiled. "Ha, I didn't want you to pay me originally. I have it here. The printing factory now has a stable monthly income of over a hundred yuan. But... since you got a raise, then you must pay it."
"I've told you, no matter how much you earn, it's all yours. You support the family and you're mine." Xia Linsheng pretended to be unhappy, but he leaned his face over.
Yu Sui quickly pushed him away: "Okay, okay, it's all yours, but I have a viral cold, why are you leaning on me?"
"I miss you, my wife. I miss you and the children so much, so much!" Xia Linsheng couldn't kiss her face, so he had to kiss Yu Sui's hair hard.
The couple was really like two swans, rubbing their necks against each other for a long time before reluctantly separating.
Xia Linsheng went next door and picked up the child to show Yu Sui.
When a child is sick, he looks so pitiful, and his little face becomes much smaller.
Yu Sui held the child tightly in her arms, unwilling to let go, until someone knocked on the door.
Xia Linsheng opened the door, and Xia Xiaoe brought over some food on a pot lid: "Sister-in-law, you're awake. Take a look at these dishes. Do you have an appetite? They were made by that big brother Wang."
Yu Sui looked at the things on the lid of the pot: a plate of slightly yellowed stir-fried vegetables and a bowl of steamed lean meat that looked white because it was not marinated with soy sauce.
It looks unappetizing.
But the body needs to recover, so she still has to eat. Yu Sui waved to Xia Xiao'e: "Xiao'e, your hands are not working well, let your brother take it, put it down quickly."
