13. Divorced Military Wife (13) (1/2)

When Lin Shiheng came back, he saw He Xiaobao, who smelled of medicinal wine, standing by the pot with anticipation, stretching his neck and looking at the dumplings with greed.

He coughed and called out, "Xiaobao."

He Xiaobao stood up reflexively and appeared in front of Lin Shiheng in a standard military posture.

"Not bad, it seems that Deputy Regiment Zhang is really good at leading new soldiers. It's only been a few days, and he's already in good shape."

How could he not be in good shape?

He Xiaobao's face was bitter. If he didn't stand well, he would have to continue standing when others went to rest, or he would go to run laps, even if his legs were soaked and soft. He was exhausted and finally finished running. He went to eat with soft legs, but the cooks had all returned to the dormitory.

The worst thing was that he couldn't rest in peace even when he returned to the dormitory. It was so good at home before, with clothes and food provided, and he could do whatever he wanted. Now he lives with a group of soldiers, and his clothes must be clean, and even the quilt must be folded into tofu blocks.

The worst thing is that if he doesn't wash his feet, it's his own bed that stinks, but the people in the same dormitory insist on forcing him to wash his feet and wipe his body, and they also force him to use soap.

Thinking of these sufferings, He Xiaobao didn't dare to tell the fierce Deputy Commander Zhang, and picked his roommates to complain to Lin Shiheng.

He thought his brother-in-law would help stop the weird roommates who forced him to take a bath and wash his feet after hearing it, but he didn't expect Lin Shiheng to nod and smile after hearing it, with a look of relief: "It seems that you get along well with them."

He Xiaobao choked on his heart with a mouthful of blood, and he looked depressed.

After finally easing up, he asked: "Brother-in-law, when can I go home?"

Lin Shiheng smiled and patted his shoulder: "When you become like brother-in-law, you can go home."

He Xiaobao looked down at his soft arms, and then looked at his brother-in-law in front of him, who was wearing a neat military uniform and had a slender figure. He looked imposing just by standing.

... He probably won't be like this in his life.

Just in a blink of an eye, he saw He Xuezhu coming back from outside to buy vinegar, and immediately went to meet her with a face full of grievance. Even if He Xiaobao had eight courage, he would not dare to report Lin Shiheng. He could only run around her like a little monkey, without raising his head, and did not dare to look at his brother-in-law.

"Sister, do you want to cut garlic? Let me help you cut it? Let me get this."

He Xuezhu smiled and looked at her brother's diligent help, her eyes full of happiness.

Lin Shiheng put his arm around her shoulders and said softly, "Come with me to the hospital after dinner."

"What's wrong?" He Xuezhu's expression immediately became nervous, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"No, one of my soldiers was injured in one hand while clearing mines. He has been in the hospital for a few days. I went back to my hometown two days ago. When I came back, I had a lot of things to do. I haven't had time to visit him. He hasn't married yet, so he can only eat and drink in the hospital. I'll pack him a box of dumplings and let him meet you, his sister-in-law."

When she mentioned this, He Xuezhu blushed and gently patted her husband's hand on her shoulder: "Don't always praise me in front of them in the future. It's embarrassing."

"What's there to be embarrassed about?"

Lin Shiheng smiled dotingly and pinched his wife's face, which had grown a little younger: "My Xuezhu is excellent. They all beg me for the medicinal wine you make."

"By the way, I How are you reading the medical book I gave you? If you don't understand it, take it to the hospital and ask the doctors there to help you study it. How about that? "

He Xuezhu shook her head with bright eyes: "I can understand it all, Shiheng, this book is amazing. This morning, Mrs. Qiu next door twisted her foot. I tried the method above and it actually healed immediately. "

"Is it really that amazing?" Lin Shiheng also showed some surprise on his face: "I saw it on a small book stand when I was buying clothes for you. I bought it because I thought you liked it. If it's really that good, let's go buy it together next time. I remember there are a few more books on it."

"Let's go, don't take the book, we also have to choose a nice dress. I also stayed in the hospital for a few days. The doctors and nurses there were also very caring to me. It's a good opportunity to introduce them together."

He Xiaobao was chopping garlic bitterly, watching his sister being taken by her brother-in-law to choose clothes. He was chopping garlic while thinking about it.

The brother-in-law said that he would become a person like him.

Does buying books and clothes for the wife count?

***

When He Xuezhu arrived at the hospital with her husband wearing new clothes, Zhou Qianqian, who was outside, was blamed for nothing.

Many people saw her stopping He Xiaobao at that time. Although others could not hear what Zhou Qianqian said because of the volume of her voice, everyone could hear clearly how He Xiaobao fell heavily to the ground and how he got up with a face full of grievances and accusations.

Afterwards, He Xiaobao wiped his tears and ran away, leaving Zhou Qianqian alone to be looked at with strange looks by so many people. She stamped her feet in anger and returned to her and her husband's room.

Zhou Qianqian left, but the rumors did not stop, especially for the military wives who witnessed how she targeted Lin Shiheng two days ago.

When the incident happened, they were all sitting not far away knitting.

Seeing Zhou Qianqian leave, several people looked at each other in bewilderment: "Isn't that Xuezhu's brother?"

"No way, she said bad things about Captain Lin before, but why is she bullying his brother now?"

"It's not necessarily bullying, maybe there is a misunderstanding between the two of them, after all, they are not that old."

After hearing this, one of the military wives disagreed and said: "What misunderstanding can there be, didn't you see that the child fell to the ground? I saw it clearly, it was Zhou Qianqian who went up to stop him and said something , she stopped him from leaving, and he even cried after he fell. This child doesn't look like someone who can cause trouble. "

"Yes, I just saw that child yesterday. He is a very well-behaved child. He did whatever Deputy Regimental Zhang asked him to do without saying a word. Commander Lin is too upright and didn't ask anyone to take care of him. I guess that the child was bullied by Deputy Regimental Zhang but he didn't tell Commander Lin, otherwise Commander Lin would definitely come forward. "

Speaking of this, the expressions of the other military wives all became more disdainful.

Zhang Yanming has always been confident and has been spoiled by his family since he was a child. He feels that he does things openly and does not need to cover up, so he doesn't even bother to find a reason when he torments He Xiaobao.

But the more he torments, the more people are curious about why he targets a new soldier like this. Gradually, even people who didn't know about this matter before knew that Deputy Regimental Zhang targeted his brother-in-law because his newlywed wife liked Commander Lin before.

Then, it can be brought out how Deputy Colonel Zhang's newlywed wife had previously expressed her love to Captain Lin in various ways, regardless of Captain Lin's family, and finally resolutely chose Deputy Colonel Zhang when Captain Lin was in a coma for four days.

They have never heard of such a woman. Before, they thought that Deputy Colonel Zhang had been brainwashed, but judging from the fact that he had been torturing innocent recruits because of personal grudges in the past few days, it seems that he deserved what he got.

"I don't know what Deputy Commander Zhang is thinking. Everyone has seen what he did. The higher-ups are not blind and deaf. If he continues like this, he will be punished sooner or later."

"Don't you think that anyone who has been involved with the nurse named Miao Xing in the hospital is not normal? Deputy Commander Zhang was a little difficult to get along with before, but not as difficult as he is now. And Zhou Qianqian, a normal young wife before, now insists on dragging Commander Lin. Not to mention that Commander Lin has no problem at all, even if there is really a problem, she doesn't give face to Commander Lin. Is she trying to implicate her own man?"

"Yes, it seems to be true."

"I heard that Deputy Commander Zhang has applied to the higher-ups and got the marriage certificate. It is estimated that Miao Xing will move into our yard in a while. What if she gets involved..."

Although everyone says feudal superstition now, after all, the years have not passed, and they still believe in this more or less. After hearing this, whether they believe it or not, they have made up their minds to stay away from the Miao.

Miao Xing didn't know that she had been implicated by Zhou Qianqian before she came, and a group of people disliked her. Now it was rest time, and she was being criticized by the head nurse.

"You have been working as a nurse for several years, how could you make such a low-level mistake? Such a long tube of air, if I hadn't discovered it quickly, you would have injected it into someone!"

"It was to protect the injured soldiers of our country. If something happened to you, can you bear it? Do you have a clear conscience!"

The head nurse was also furious. She was originally dissatisfied with Miao Xing for her frequent mistakes in the past few days, and today she almost injected such a long tube of air into the body of the injured soldier. This was a fatal thing. If she hadn't stopped it in time, no one knew what would happen.

Miao Xing lowered her head and clenched her hands hanging on both sides tightly.

It was not her fault in the first place. She just married Zhang Yanming. Even if she had pursued Lin Shiheng before, it didn't matter. The man was unmarried and the woman was unmarried. She did nothing wrong. As a result, the nurses and doctors around her pointed fingers at her, making her uneasy. Otherwise, she would not have made a mistake.

If she had admitted her mistake, since it did not cause much damage, the matter would have passed. But Miao Xing looked so unconvinced, and the head nurse's anger suddenly burned even more vigorously.

She was about to open her mouth to criticize a few more words, but there was a knock on the door. She turned around and saw Lin Shiheng in a neat military uniform holding a beautiful girl with a pretty face.

The head nurse was stunned: "Captain Lin?"

"Excuse me?" Lin Shiheng had a proper apology and embarrassment on his face, "It's like this, I came to see a soldier today, thinking of your care for me before, I came to say hello and give you some wedding candy."

As he said, he stepped forward, grabbed a handful of candy from the bag and handed it to the head nurse.

"Ah, thank you, who is this?"

Hearing the head nurse's question, Lin Shiheng looked sideways at the person next to him and said softly: "This is my wife, He Xuezhu, she is pregnant. Our custom is to give wedding candy to people around her when she is pregnant to spread the joy. The guys in the army have all given it, so the only thing missing is the hospital. I have to thank you for saving me before."

Everyone can see the gentle, loving and happy look of the handsome man in military uniform when he looks at his wife. The head nurse congratulated him immediately, but Miao Xing looked up with a dark look, looking at He Xuezhu who was leaning on her husband's arms, with a trace of disdain on her face.

She is just a woman who depends on a man. What else does she have besides the child in her belly?

The head nurse just watched the two of them leave, and when she turned around, she saw the expression on Miao Xing's face, and her eyes immediately sank: "What's that look?"

"Nothing." Miao Xing was angry, and replied in a cold tone: "My stomach hurts, I'm going to the toilet."

After saying that, she walked straight out without looking at the head nurse's ugly face.

Going to the toilet was naturally fake, just taking the opportunity to come out.

Isn't it just a piece of air? She accidentally injected a small piece into the patient's body before, and nothing happened, right?

The only difference is that no one found it that time.

Miao Xing was not grateful to the head nurse for stopping her, and even felt a little resentful. If she hadn't discovered it, the air wouldn't have been harmful if it had been injected. But now, everyone, including the injured soldier, knew that it was Miao Xing who accidentally injected the air.

She washed her hands, hid the resentment on her face, and then walked back slowly.

As a result, when she walked to the door, before she opened it, she heard a crisp female voice inside.

"What kind of look did she give to Lin's wife? Did she look down on her?"

Miao Xing paused, stood at the door with a gloomy face, and listened to the movement inside.

"Yes, I saw it clearly while sitting there. It's because Captain Lin has a good temper that he didn't bother with her. If it was someone else, he would have been angry a long time ago."

"You think she is still thinking about Captain Lin, otherwise why would she look at someone else's wife with such eyes?"

"Of course, but if you ask me, Captain Lin's wife looks gentle and beautiful. She looks more elegant than Miao Xing. No wonder Captain Lin didn't choose her."

"Hey, I saw the clothes Captain Lin's wife was wearing in the department store in the city last week. They are so expensive. I wonder if Captain Lin bought them for her. I just saw Sitting there, looking at the look in Captain Lin's eyes, he looked at his wife so tenderly, they must have a good relationship, unlike Miao Xing, who didn't come to pick her up after Deputy Zhang got married, didn't she just marry the deputy captain? Every day she acted like she was the boss and she was the second. Last time it was clearly our job, but she didn't do it herself and complained that I didn't do it well, it was really infuriating. "

"Okay, stop talking, you guys, you might as well go to the ward to see the patients." Although the head nurse couldn't stand Miao Xing's increasingly strange temper, she didn't like to talk behind people's backs, she said something and stood up to go out.

"That's right, Miao Xing was outshined by Captain Lin's wife from head to toe, I think the look in her eyes just now was clearly jealousy."

The head nurse opened the door, and Miao Xing, who was standing outside, was exposed to everyone's eyes.

The atmosphere in the room immediately became quiet.

Miao Xing was so angry that her body trembled, and the jealousy that she had been forcibly concealing was torn out, making her lose her mind.

"I can't compare to her?"

"A rural woman who only went to primary school and has never worked since she got married, how can I compare to her?"

"Do you think it's still the old society? Just enjoy a comfortable life at home after getting married? I'm at least a nurse, and He Xuezhu is at best a rural woman who doesn't even have a skill. She can't compare to me from head to toe!"

As soon as she finished saying this, there was a "bang" sound outside. Everyone looked over subconsciously, but saw a doctor in a white coat holding his chest and twitching on the ground not far from the door.

The head nurse was startled and rushed over: "Director Wang? Director Wang?!"

"Hurry up, hurry up, go call Dr. Liu and the others."

A nurse hurried to the doctor's office and came back in a panic: "Dr. Liu and the others are not here. They must have gone to eat. I'll go downstairs to find them."

The head nurse was trying to help Director Wang on the ground to catch his breath, "Hurry up, you guys go get some equipment. He can't breathe now."

"Uh...uh..."

Director Wang couldn't breathe at all. His face was flushed and he fell to the ground in pain, his hands tightly covering his chest. There was a lot of chaos around him. The doctors were eating downstairs, and it was probably too late to be called up.

People in the surrounding wards opened the door to see when they heard the noise. He Xuezhu was sitting next to her husband and listening to him talk about interesting things in the army. Lin Shiheng suddenly raised his head: "Is there any movement outside?"

"I'll go see."

He Xuezhu got up and opened the door, and saw the busy scene at a glance.

She was startled and suddenly remembered the medical book she had just read in the morning. There was a symptom in it, which was exactly the same as this one. In this case, if the patient was not treated quickly, he would definitely suffocate.

He Xuezhu didn't care about anything else. She ran forward and pressed hard on an acupuncture point according to the method in the medical book, and then hit him hard on the back.

"Cough cough cough..."

Director Wang coughed hard a few times and finally managed to breathe. The redness on his face gradually faded. He covered his chest and gasped hard.

"It's okay, it's okay. Let him stand up and walk around. The more he walks, the faster he will breathe."

The head nurse quickly helped Director Wang stand up. Before he could even breathe, he weakly thanked him: "Thank you, thank you..."

"It's okay, just walk back and forth in the corridor." He Xuezhu was also very excited. This was the first time she used the ability she learned to save someone. It was not a small matter like twisting her foot, but a living life was saved by her.

When she reacted and wanted to stand up, she found that her legs were weak.

"Come." A gentle voice came from behind. He Xuezhu turned her head and saw that it was Lin Shiheng who was gently helping her up. There was surprise and pride in his eyes looking at her: "Xuezhu, you are so amazing."

If He Xuezhu was just excited just now, then now, after receiving praise from her husband, she relaxed completely.

Did she really save a person?

Several nurses who were carrying equipment and found that they didn't need it had bright eyes and looked at He Xuezhu with admiration, "Are you a doctor? You are really amazing."

He Xuezhu blushed and waved her hands quickly: "No, no..."

"Yes, Xuezhu's father is a doctor. She is very smart and learns everything very quickly. She is reading medical books now and is planning to continue studying."

"Wow!! She will definitely be an excellent doctor in the future!"

"Yes, yes, that move just now was really amazing."

"Will you come to our hospital to be a doctor in the future? This way you can be closer to Captain Lin!"

Being looked at by a group of nurses with admiring eyes and listening to their chattering compliments, He Xuezhu's inferiority complex made her feel a little embarrassed. She looked up at her husband for help, but saw Lin Shiheng's face full of pride.

Is Shiheng... proud of her?

She felt at ease and leaned into her husband's arms again.

Lin Shiheng embraced his wife and said with a smile: "It depends on Xuezhu's arrangement. I won't hold her back. This is not an ordinary skill. It can save lives. We can't be careless."

A skill...

"Why does this sentence sound so familiar?"

Several nurses looked at the door vaguely.

At the door, Miao Xing, who had just said that He Xuezhu didn't even have a skill, had a livid face.
