The Pretty Military Wife

Just as Mrs. Liu said, the distribution of money in Xinshui Village yesterday spread like a gust of wind to all the villages and towns in the county.

The next day, several matchmakers came to the village.

If there is an older daughter in the family and they don't want her to get married for the time being, if she stays at home for one more year, they can earn an extra twelve months' income. That means they can use two months' income as a dowry for her, and earn ten months' income.

The next day, someone from each family went to the town to buy things. After getting the money, they arranged to buy everything the family needed.

Almost every family decided to buy some meat today, so the pork in the stores in the town suddenly ran out.

However, Liang Xinyue took Long Xiaomei and Long Xiaobing into the city early this morning.

Everyone was still worried about Zhu Guixiang after the operation, so Liang Xinyue drove to the city early in the morning and brought a truckload of vegetables.

When I got to the city, I unloaded the vegetables first, and then went to the hospital.

When they arrived, the nurse was giving Zhu Guixiang an injection, preparing for today's infusion.

Long Xiaobing had just called out "Mom" when he saw the nurse pricking his mother's hand. Xiaobing's voice suddenly choked up, and he carefully walked to the other side and whispered:

"Mom, does it hurt?"

Zhu Guixiang looked much better, with her hair usually braided in a braid now loose. When she saw her son coming, she turned around and looked at him carefully.

Captain Long hurriedly greeted Liang Xinyue:

"sister in law."

Liang Xinyue brought in two cans of malted milk and some apples and handed them to Captain Long:

"Captain Long, Sister Zhu."

"Sister Zhu, do you feel better today?"

Zhu Guixiang turned to look at Liang Xinyue, smiled slightly and said:

"Well, much better."

The nurse also said while adjusting the liquid:

"Very good, the wounds are healing very well. Patients should not be afraid of pain, and should learn to get up and move on their own. If they can endure it, they can get out of bed and walk around. This liquid can be propped up with a pole."

Liang Xinyue knew this. She had to move after the operation.

Zhu Guixiang hummed and said:

"I can get out of bed and go to the toilet by myself. Sister, I will be discharged from the hospital soon."

Captain Long said on the side:

"Don't worry, you have to heal the wound first and remove the stitches before you can be discharged from the hospital."

The nurse also said:

"It takes at least five days to remove the stitches and still recover well. Some people don't listen to the doctor and have to sew the wound again after it's opened. So don't worry, the surgery is done, just rest well."

Liang Xinyue also said:

"Why are you in such a hurry? Take care of yourself these few days and you'll be full of energy when you go back. Don't worry, kid, we'll take care of you."

The nurse left after making the adjustments. Zhu Guixiang looked at Captain Long and said:

"We can't keep delaying him. He still has work to do. He won't get a vacation this year."

Liang Xinyue looked at Captain Long and said:

"Captain Long, what did the political commissar say? If you want to go back to work, that's fine. Sister Zhu can just leave Sister Yang here to take care of her. For some things, I can ask the people from the grocery store to come twice a day and let them do whatever you need. When you are discharged from the hospital, come back."

Long Xiaomei also said:

"How about I stay here, and I'll go back to work. Anyway, Xiaobing is at Sister Xinyue's house every day, so it'll be fine as long as someone takes him to sleep at night."

Liang Xinyue thought for a moment and said:

"That's fine. I can read, so I'm considered a family member. Anyway, the next thing is nursing. Captain Long can go back with me first."

"I want to stay here with my mother, too."

Long Xiaobing said.

Liang Xinyue shook her head and said:

"No, that won't work. If you stay here, who will help me look after little Jiajia? Jiajia wants to play with little soldier brother every day. She will cry if you are not at home. Look, she didn't even know we left this morning. If she wakes up and doesn't see little soldier brother, she will cry again."

Long Xiaobing was suddenly in a dilemma and scratched his head. On one side was his mother, and on the other was his friend.

Liang Xinyue said:

"Besides, there are no beds to sleep in the hospital. You can only sit there until dawn. You are not a patient, so you cannot sleep in the bed here. You should come back with me. Next time I come to see your mother, I will bring you here again. Okay?"

Long Xiaobing nodded, turned to his mother and said:

"Okay, Mom, my aunt will stay with you, and I'll go back to accompany Xiao Jiajia. If I'm not with her, she'll cry."

Zhu Guixiang smiled and raised her hand to touch her son's face:

"Okay, our little soldier is a little brother now, he needs to take good care of his sisters and brothers."

"Well, brother Dabao, brother Wangzhi, and sister Lanlan are all in school, so I play with brother Dayong and Xiaobao. We take care of sister Jiajia and the two little brothers together. The little brothers can walk now."

Liang Xinyue glanced at Captain Long, and walked out of the ward with Captain Long, and asked in the corridor:

"Are the test results in?"

Captain Long shook his head and said:

"The doctor said he hasn't been notified yet."

Liang Xinyue nodded and said:

"That's fine. Before you leave, tell the doctor and call him directly if necessary when there are results. If there are no problems, just tell them directly."

Captain Long nodded and said:

"Okay, Lao Zhou hasn't come back yet. There are a lot of things to do in the army. I really can't be away for too long. I guess there are still some things to do recently. I should go back for two days. I will come back after the stitches are removed and I am discharged from the hospital in two days."

Liang Xinyue sighed and said:

"Anyway, it's like this every time he goes on a mission. He seems to have lost something when he goes out, and seems to have found it when he comes back. It's the same for us...those of us who marry soldiers."

Captain Long looked downstairs and said after a while:

"Actually, no news is good news."

Liang Xinyue nodded.

Sister Yang came up from downstairs and saw Liang Xinyue coming. She hurried over and said:

"I just went downstairs to do the laundry. How long did it take you to get here?"

"Just arrived. Thank you for your hard work, Sister Yang."

"Oh, it's not that hard, it's all done by Captain Long. To be honest, I just ran some errands. I can't leave anyone here, so I just helped buy some food and that's all."

Captain Long said hurriedly:

"I really trouble Sister Yang. I have to run back and forth several times a day to buy food, wash clothes downstairs, and go to the pharmacy to get medicine. If Sister Yang hadn't helped me here, I really couldn't do it by myself."

Sister Yang smiled and said:

"It's nothing, just moving your legs."

Liang Xinyue nodded and said:

"We are all from the same courtyard, so we all need to help each other."

As she spoke, Liang Xinyue told Sister Yang about what she had just said about leaving her younger sister behind and letting Captain Long go back for two days.

Sister Yang said seriously:

"Actually, if my little sister wants to do something, I can do it alone. She just needs an IV drip every day and sometimes a checkup. She can walk slowly with me supporting her."

"It would be better if you leave my little sister here. You can take turns accompanying her at night. Also, it will be more convenient to run errands with one more person."

"Okay. Then leave my little sister here. You guys chat first, I'll go hang the clothes out on the platform over there."
