Chapter 419: The Military Doctor Who Was Inexplicably Attacked
Li Aidang looked at Chen Hongmei's confused expression, then at the embarrassed soldiers around him, and he roughly understood what was going on.
He turned to look at Liu Cui, frowned, and said in a serious tone: "Liu Cui, what are you doing? You haven't figured out anything yet, and you've already called all the comrades in the army.
Didn’t I tell you this morning that Hongmei would come back to rest after finishing her night shift?
What are you yelling about?"
When Liu Cui heard this, she felt a little uneasy, but she still said stubbornly, "I called out for a long time but there was no response. Who knows what's going on?"
Li Aidang's eyes looked at Liu Cui more and more unfriendly, which made Liu Cui feel uneasy. Her voice gradually became softer, but she was still whispering.
“No one in their right mind would imagine that someone would stuff cotton in their ears while sleeping.
She's really a rich girl, she doesn't know how to live, it's so late and she can still sleep."
Chen Hongmei smiled and said, "Sister, you may not understand the nature of my job.
I have to take a nap after my night shift to get enough rest so that I can work better in the afternoon.
Knowing you were coming to my house, I even stuffed cotton in my ears.
I am afraid that if I don’t get enough rest, something might go wrong when treating patients.
The soldiers are risking their lives to carry out their missions. If someone comes back and something goes wrong during treatment because I didn't get enough rest, it will be a huge loss to the country.
When it comes to a soldier's life, everything is trivial.
If you have anything to say, it’s not too late to talk to me after I wake up.
Now that it's like this, since you've woken me up, you should tell us what's the matter that made you knock on our door so urgently."
The soldiers around heard what Chen Hongmei said and thought it made sense.
The country is not stable now. Soldiers who go out on missions and get injured need to be treated by Doctor Chen and others when they come back. How can they not get enough rest? Otherwise, something bad will happen.
What could be wrong with Liu Cui? She just couldn't stand seeing Chen Hongmei, the little devil, sleeping while she was working.
Her eyes flickered and she didn't know how to answer. The soldiers called by Li Aidang and Li Ping'an were also looking at her.
Seeing that no one was helping her out, Liu Cui knew that she would be in trouble if she didn't give an explanation, so she immediately sat down on the ground, slapped her thigh and started crying, trying to make a scene and get over it first.
"It's so unfair! The captain's wife looks down on people.
I just wanted to knock on the door and ask what we wanted for lunch, but the team leader's wife started to make a big deal out of it and accused me of killing someone.
I can’t live anymore…”
Liu Cui cried rhythmically, and her voice could be heard from far away.
When the neighbors heard the noise, they all gathered in front of Li Aidan's house to watch what was happening.
Li Aidang was so angry that veins on his forehead were throbbing. Liu Cui was obviously trying to change the subject. The soldiers around him were speechless and frowned.
Li Aidang roared like a god: "Shut up!"
Liu Cui was frightened by the roar and burped. She secretly glanced at Li Aidang's murderous eyes, and did not dare to make a scene anymore, so she stopped silently.
Chen Hongmei saw several military wives who usually loved to spread gossip gathered outside. She walked over, helped Liu Cui up, let her sit on a chair nearby, and poured her a glass of water.
"Sister, I don't know why you had to knock on the door of our room, but I need to explain something to you today.
The soldiers are out there risking their lives, and we who work in logistics must provide them with the best possible support."
Chen Hongmei just saw in the original plot that she and Liu Cui said that the original owner looked down on people and was the mother of Captain Xu, a hen that didn't lay eggs.
Although Old Mrs. Xu loves to spread gossip, she loves her precious son even more.
If she knew that Chen Hongmei's poor rest might endanger her son's life, she would have immediately scolded Liu Cui in the family quarters.
Chen Hongmei continued, "When Captain Xu returned from his last mission, he was shot twice and had multiple stab wounds. One of the bullet wounds was only one centimeter away from his heart.
As a doctor, I cannot be irresponsible to these soldiers.
They are all heroes who fought for their country.
We cannot let them not be knocked down by the enemy’s guns and artillery, but instead lose their lives due to the doctor’s mistake.
If I hadn't gotten enough rest and my hand had shaken while I was treating Captain Xu's injury, Captain Xu would probably be dead now.
Today I will assume that you don’t know the seriousness of the military doctors’ situation, and I hope you won’t do that again next time.”
After Chen Hongmei finished speaking, she stood up and prepared to leave, but then she seemed to remember something and turned back to say to Liu Cui with a smile, "Sister, I still have to remind you one last thing.
The name "Aidang" is too intimate. You should call him Comrade Li or Captain Li.
Otherwise, it would be bad if people misunderstood it.”
After Chen Hongmei said this, Liu Cui didn't react much, but Li Aidang's face turned pale.
He didn't know the circumstances under which Liu Cui uttered this name, so he hurried over to grab Chen Hongmei's hand and try to explain.
"Hongmei, listen to me, she and I... I..."
Chen Hongmei dodged without leaving a trace and smiled tiredly.
"It's almost time now. I should go to work. Let's talk about it tonight."
After saying that, Chen Hongmei picked up her army green shoulder bag and walked out the door.
The people watching the excitement at the door automatically made way for her.
Chen Hongmei smiled at these people, walked out the door and headed towards the hospital.
Chen Hongmei's last words were undoubtedly a bombshell to the onlookers and soldiers.
People of this era are very reserved.
Many couples often call each other comrades, and people of the opposite sex should be especially careful when addressing each other.
Chen Hongmei had heard Liu Cui calling Li Aidang like that, and she thought they would be even closer in private.
The onlookers exchanged glances with each other, and everything was said without words.
Li Aidang also thought about the impact of this incident, and who knows what kind of rumors it will spread in the family quarters.
However, he had seen big scenes before, so he quickly adjusted his expression and said to the crowd outside with a smile:
"Liu Cui is the daughter of my distant uncle. Her husband passed away and she is now a widow, so I called her to take care of Ping An.
Don't misunderstand me.
It's getting late now, everyone should go back and eat. We still have training in the afternoon, and those who are going to work should be back for dinner."
Seeing that the people at the gate did not move at all, Li Aidang's eyes flashed with anger, and he said to the soldiers called by Li Pingan:
"I'm sorry to have caused you trouble today, it's all because of the ignorance of my children.
I'll treat you to a drink some other day."
The young soldiers knew that Li Aidang was driving them away. Besides, Li Aidang was the regiment commander, so even if they wanted to watch the fun, they had to consider his identity as the regiment commander.
"Captain Li, what you said is wrong. It's a good thing that the family members are vigilant.
But please don’t disturb Dr. Chen’s rest in the future.
Captain Li, we'll be leaving now. Please go ahead and do your work."
