Portable space in the 60s

Chapter 289 Patient
Tang Bao suspected that he heard it wrong: "What did you say?"

Zhou Yuzhen looked at her anxiously: "Hai Bo is still young, I just want my elder brother to come forward and clean him up! Take it out on me! Isn't this brother just supporting the sisters at home?"

Tang Bao looked at her very puzzled: "Why didn't you tell your father about it?"

"I'm afraid they think I'm useless, and they can't even look down on men!" Zhou Yuzhen showed a ferocious look of gnashing her teeth: "Let the elder brother tidy him up, and when I get married, he will obediently listen to me gone."

The corners of Tang Bao's mouth couldn't help twitching, and he said helplessly, "Didn't you say you didn't like him before? Isn't now the right time?"

"That's right, I didn't like him in the first place, so I don't need to marry him now!" Zhou Yuzhen finally came back to her senses, and burst into tears instantly: "This is a good thing, then I'll go back first!"

She looked at her worriedly again: "Sister-in-law, they really don't know how to scold me? Why don't you go back with me? If they scold me, will you intercede for me?"

Before Gu Xingjin nodded, Tang Bao would not get too close to them, but these days, Zhou Yuzhen has also been taught by Yu Fengya to correct a lot of minor problems, and she is much cuter.

She thought for a while before she opened her mouth: "Just say that now that you have seen his true face clearly, it is better than finding out that he is a philanderer after you get married. They will definitely not scold you."

After all, Yu Fengya's previous man, even Gu Xiu'an, liked flirting with women when he was young. Yu Fengya himself has suffered this, and he will definitely not let this stubborn stepdaughter suffer.

Among other things, after raising them all these years, there is some kind of friendship after all.

Moreover, based on Zhou Yuzhen's temperament, if her life is not good at her in-law's house, she will definitely go back to her mother's house to file a complaint. For the sake of Zhou Haibo's reputation, Yu Fengya will not stand idly by.

Zhou Yuzhen nodded half-understood, then looked at Tang Bao and smiled flatteringly: "That sister-in-law, I'm about to get married at my age now, so please take care of me!"

Tang Bao didn't expect this girl to talk so fiercely, and she wasn't shy at all when talking about her own marriage, and couldn't help smiling: "Then what kind of girl do you want?"

"Just be as big brother as you can be." After she finished speaking, she quickly added a few words: "It's better to be more friendly than big brother, and it's better to laugh more than big brother. Don't keep a straight face all day long. I'm scared just looking at it."

Hearing her say the previous sentence, Tang Bao's heart still skipped a beat. Does this girl like Gu Xingjin too?But I felt relieved when I heard it later, because I was completely frightened by his cold face.

She deliberately teased her: "Then why don't you find a clean platoon or squad leader for you?"

"Sister-in-law, don't tease me, you can find a few white and clean ones in the barracks!" Zhou Yuzhen sighed: "As long as they don't look like black charcoal! Also, platoon leaders and squad leaders don't matter, ordinary soldiers can It doesn't matter, as long as you look good and have a good temper, don't beat your wife like Platoon Leader He!"

Tang Bao didn't expect that she was still so enlightened, she didn't dislike the poor and loved the rich at all, but valued the character, and he was a little relieved, so he heard her smile triumphantly: "It's best to be under the elder brother's hand, so娶了我，就不敢对我不好了，要不我就和你告状，让你给大哥吹耳边风，揍不死他。”

Tang Bao couldn't laugh anymore, so he could only nod reluctantly: "What you said makes sense, why don't you go back first?"

"Okay, then I'll go back first!" Zhou Yuzhen was not sad at all when she thought of her bright future, and said happily, "I have learned how to knit now, and I will knit you a sweater when the time comes. What color do you like?" ?”

Tang Bao quickly refused: "No need, you weave for your parents and younger brother first!"

"That's fine!" Zhou Yuzhen winked at her: "Both of us are woven in bright red, it must look good."

After speaking, he waved to her and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute," Tang Bao packed her several packs of 'bread' in a cloth bag, told her the purpose in a low voice, and then sent her out.

Zhou Yuzhen was so happy that she didn't pay attention when she was going down the stairs. Her foot slipped and she fell down uncontrollably. She was so scared that she closed her eyes and exclaimed, "Ah..."

Mom, if my face falls badly, then I won't be able to get married.

The main reason is that the weather is cold now. It can be said that dripping water turns into ice. People pick up water droplets and put them on the stairs for a long time, and they will freeze for a long time. People will naturally slip when stepping on them.

Wang Lihui was sent by Gu Xingjin to pick them up today, when he led them over, he heard the scream, looked up, saw her fall, and quickly reached out to catch her.

However, the momentum of falling from the upstairs was too great, and Zhou Yuzhen threw him to the ground, making him a backup.

His back was on the cold and hard concrete floor, and he wanted to cry because of the pain; but his chest was soft, Wang Lihui didn't know how to describe that feeling, even if it hurt to death, he couldn't bear to push her away.

However, the short man wearing a military padded jacket next to him would not let them be so unseemly in broad daylight. He asked his wife to help the girl, and he helped Wang Lihui up easily.

It has to be said that Zhou Yuzhen's lung capacity is really good, and almost everyone in the building was scared out of her screams.

Tang Bao also hurried downstairs, seeing that she was fine, he was relieved: "What's wrong with you, did you slip and fall?"

"Yeah, I was scared to death." Zhou Yuzhen patted her chest with a look of shock: "I almost lost my appearance, thanks to this comrade."

After speaking, he smiled at Wang Lihui.

Zhou Yuzhen looks pretty good, although her face is not very fair, but it is not dark, and she is tall and plump, because she is going to the town, she is not wearing a cotton coat and trousers, but a pink woolen coat and black trousers, There is also a pair of black leather shoes, which look very fashionable.

Wang Lihui quickly looked away, and said nervously: "It's okay, it's okay."

Seeing Tang Bao again, he came back to his senses, remembered what he did, and hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, this is the person the company commander asked me to bring back!"

Tang Bao watched Zhou Yuzhen leave with the cloth bag, and called everyone upstairs: "Okay, Mrs. Wang, let's sit upstairs."

Wang Lihui handed her a key, and said in a low voice: "I'll go back and tidy up, and then I'll move to another place to squeeze in. The company commander told them to let them live in my place."

Tang Bao said gratefully: "Okay, come and have dinner with Xing Jin tonight."

Wang Lihui smiled embarrassedly, and hurried back.

Wang Zhiqiang is not tall. Although he is not yet 40 years old, his face has several creases because of his thin body. The old military overcoat is an old military uniform, with a small cut and a thin face. He looks very energetic.

Mrs. Wang's complexion is a little yellow, her right foot is a little lame, and her hands are a little red and swollen. They look like calluses, but her eyebrows and eyes are pretty, and she can vaguely see her youthful demeanor.

There is also a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl with pretty eyebrows and eyes, who looks like her own mother, but her face is ugly, sickly, and emaciated.

Both mother and daughter were wearing old patched padded jackets, but they were washed clean.

Tang Bao heard from Gu Xingjin that Wang Zhiqiang, the squad leader, brought him in the first place. He was very strict with these recruits. He taught marksmanship, reconnaissance, and boxing skills.

When he went to the battlefield, Gu Xingjin was injured, and it was the old squad leader who rescued him from the dead...

When he was young, he insisted on marrying the lady of the landlord's family regardless of his parents' opposition. The suppression was severe in the past few years. After his wife was injured in the leg while fighting, he simply took his wife and children. Come around.

But he didn't have a family building assigned to the army, and they all lived in rented houses outside. In addition, there were five children in the family, and his parents in his hometown were not in good health. They waited for half of the money he sent back to live every month. This day is also very tight.

Because of his status, although he has military merits, he has not been promoted, and has not lost contact over the years.

This time Wang Zhiqiang was really helpless. He secretly asked the doctor, but the doctor shook his head and said that it was hopeless. Not only did he have a serious stomach problem, but he also had liver problems.

Not to mention the sky-high medical expenses, even surgery is not half sure.

But the eldest daughter is really very sensible. Since she was a child, she has been feeding her younger siblings, and she has enough food for herself. She also took the two older children to work as handymen in the coal mine...

So when he received Gu Xingjin's reply letter, he brought his daughter here recklessly.

At first, Wang Yingzi was reluctant to come, saying that her illness should not drag the family down, or he said that this is his former soldier, and now he is married to a wife who knows Chinese medicine, so she is willing to come without money.

Tang Bao first made brown sugar water for the mother and daughter in a clean enamel tank, made a cup of tea for Wang Zhiqiang, and said with a smile: "Brother Wang, sister-in-law, Xing Jin has already told me, you can go live downstairs first." , coming here is like home.”

Wang Zhiqiang secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Although he had brought Gu Xingjin with him for more than three years, he hadn't seen him for more than four years in the blink of an eye. He was really worried that his sudden arrival would cause conflicts between the couple.

Seeing Tang Bao's good attitude, Mu Wanwan hurriedly took out the contents of the package, and said embarrassingly: "We don't have anything to offer over there, but it's near the sea, so I brought you some dried fish." Try it with kelp or something."

Tang Bao saw that they only brought three packages in total, but these two packages contained pickled fish of various sizes, dried small fish, dried kelp, dried shrimp, etc., and suddenly felt astringent in his heart .

"It smells so good!" Seeing the anxiety in their eyes, Tang Bao said with a smile, "I like to eat these seaweeds the most, but we rarely buy them here. Thank you very much for bringing them to me from afar. gone."

Being near the seaside, these are not worth much. They were still very uneasy at first, but they breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Tang Bao's words.

In the hearts of the parents, they felt that they owed their eldest daughter too much. Even though they didn't know whether the young Tang Bao could take care of his daughter's illness, they still came with hope.

Because Wang Zhiqiang knew that Gu Xingjin was not a big talker, so as soon as they received his telegram, they quickly packed up and came over.

Mu Wanwan blushed a little and said: "It's not a good thing, if you like it, we will send it to you in the future."

They almost used their own money to go to the hospital, and even the travel expenses were borrowed. This time they can only use credit for medical treatment.

Tang Bao and their mother and daughter took all these to the kitchen, and chatted with them for a while, and when they sat down again, they were much less restrained.

Only then did Tang Bao smile at the little girl: "Yingzi, stretch out your hand, and I'll feel your pulse."

The little girl's wrists are too slender, and her palms are also full of calluses and frostbite.

Wang Yingzi blushed a little embarrassed when she saw Tang Bao's slender, white and silky hands resting on her wrists, but she was very envious in her heart.

She also wants to live, and now life is getting better and better, and she also hopes that she can let her younger siblings go to school and become useful people in the future.

After Tang Bao carefully felt her pulse with both hands, he also felt that her illness was very serious, and he wanted to ask her to take a film so that he could understand it better, but there was nothing on his face, and he smiled when he saw her Smile: "You are often hungry, and the stomach starts to have problems with you. You need to take good care of it and let the stomach know that you will take good care of it in the future, then it will be fine."
