My little country wife whom I haven't seen for eight years has come to join the army

Su Hongmei's thoughts have long been no secret throughout the military region, not to mention Chen Guozheng and his wife who have always been paying attention to Lu Qinchuan.

Regimental Commander Chen gave Principal Wu an ambiguous look, and Principal Wu said half-jokingly, "Xiao Lu, you're so inflated! People only know you as a hero who saved people, but those who don't think you're the head of the regiment. You're really putting on airs."

Lu Qinchuan didn't know how to get rid of it, so he spread his hands bitterly and said, "Principal Wu, you watched me grow up. You know better than me how rough my skin is. If I didn't have the dispatch order in Comrade Su Hongmei's hand, how could I dare to invite a hospital nurse into my home?"

Principal Wu looked at Su Hongmei with a smile and said, "Xiao Su, you are an excellent talent resource of the military hospital. You can't waste it on a rough guy like Lu Qinchuan. Take blood pressure and measure heart rate. Let his wife do those jobs. It's so easy!"

It’s a double entendre, and those who understand will understand!

Su Hongmei blushed and pursed her lips tightly, but since Principal Wu hadn't said anything directly, she had to hold on. She glanced at Zhou Ruoyu, who was standing with Zhou Shufen, and immediately had a plan in mind.

"What Principal Wu said actually makes sense. The nurses at home only do basic checks like measuring blood pressure and heart rate. Captain Lu's family just came from the countryside, and they might not be able to use the medical equipment properly. It would be inappropriate to delay the procedure."

Zhou Ruoyu, in a white dress, looked as fresh as a young spring onion. Principal Wu had already glanced at her several times.

Now Su Hongmei's words seemed to have a hint of provocation again. She couldn't pretend to be dead any longer, so she walked over and said, "Hello, Principal Wu, I am Lu Qinchuan's lover, my name is Zhou Ruoyu."

Principal Wu praised him generously, "I've already asked Xiao Lu to treat everyone to wedding candy. Not only did he not even offer any candy, he even hid his beautiful wife. Wow, beautiful villages and rivers are truly nourishing. This girl is truly incredibly beautiful."

Zhou Ruoyu smiled shyly, "Principal Wu, you're too kind. Although I come from a small mountain village, I've been taking care of Old Lu in the hospital for a few days now. I've seen him so many times that I'll naturally know how to use the blood pressure monitor. This is the task assigned to me by the leaders. Please rest assured, leaders and Nurse Su, I will definitely take good care of Old Lu. By the time he returns to the team, I guarantee he'll have gained ten pounds!"

Captain Chen and Principal Wu burst into laughter when they heard this, and it was obvious that they agreed that she should be responsible for Lu Qinchuan's health check.

"No," Su Hongmei snapped, interrupting their laughter. She ignored Principal Wu's embarrassment and continued, "Our medical staff are all graduates of regular medical schools. I was sent here precisely because of Lu Qinchuan's meritorious service. They may be husband and wife, but Comrade Zhou is completely unprofessional. I don't agree to hand my patients over to a layman!"

"Nurse Su, can you let me try the blood pressure monitor?" Zhou Ruoyu couldn't stand Su Hongmei's arrogant attitude, and just wanted to shut her mouth roughly.

"Yes," Chen Guozheng half-squinted his eyes, "Let Comrade Xiao Zhou give it a try. If the test results are OK, then she will be responsible for the daily monitoring."

Captain Chen had spoken, and Su Hongmei could no longer continue to maintain the stalemate. She had no choice but to open the medicine box and take out the blood pressure monitor.

Zhou Ruoyu swiftly moved a stool to sit beside the bed. She lifted Lu Qinchuan's outer arm and rolled up his sleeve. She put on the cuff, donned the stethoscope, and inflated the balloon, listening attentively with a serious expression.

After a moment, she took off her stethoscope: "80, 120, normal blood pressure."

He pinched Lu Qinchuan's wrist again, placed it on his pulse, closed his eyes and concentrated.

Suddenly he opened his eyes again and anxiously asked the patient on the bed: "What's wrong with you? Your heartbeat is too fast."

Is there any need to ask? Not only did Lu Qinchuan have an irregular heartbeat, his face had already turned the color of liver, so red that it was almost bleeding.

Principal Wu smiled. "Alright, alright. Just by looking at her movements while taking the blood pressure, I can tell she has no problem operating the blood pressure monitor. We can completely leave these basic monitoring tasks to her. Right, Old Chen?"

Chen Guozheng nodded and looked at Su Hongmei. "Comrade Su, you should go back to the hospital. First, Lu Qinchuan's body isn't strong enough to warrant dedicated health monitoring. Second, his wife is fully capable of doing the job, so there's no need to waste our military hospital's limited medical resources. I'll go to the logistics department and let them know later."

Su Hongmei had to swallow this humiliation. She bit her lower lip hard. The lower lip that had been carefully painted with light lipstick before had become mottled. Miss Su no longer had the pride of the past, and even looked a little embarrassed.

Lai Yunlong was a man who knew what was happening. He secretly tugged at Su Hongmei, then said to Captain Chen and Principal Wu with a smile, "Then I'll take Nurse Su back to the hospital first. It seems like there are over a dozen soldiers admitted today with stomach upsets, so they're really a bit overwhelmed."

As he watched the two of them walk out of the courtyard, Chen Guozheng's expression turned cold. He pointed at Lu Qinchuan's flushed face and scolded him, "You just saved a few fellow villagers' children. Tell me, is that what you should have done? Now you're calling yourself a hero and causing such a scene!"

"Old Chen!" Principal Wu raged. "He's been injured and bedridden. How could he possibly have any influence over anything? The military district is trying to set an example, a benchmark, a lofty role model for the entire region to emulate. I think it's good that Xiao Lu is just recuperating at home. I'm just worried if someone from the propaganda department comes to interview him and write about him again, he'll be in trouble."

Lu Qinchuan had a bitter look on his face. "Principal Wu, you understand me. I don't want to be a role model. Protecting people's lives and property is our unshirkable responsibility as soldiers. I don't want to be a hero."

"Alas, the atmosphere in the army right now is not right, and he just happened to run into this trend. The headquarters will definitely publicize him."

Chen Guozheng put his hands on his knees, lowered his head and sighed slightly.

At this time, Lieutenant Zhu came in excitedly, holding a big black fish in his hand: "Sister-in-law, I bought the fish you wanted. I put it in the kitchen for you."

Zhou Ruoyu smiled faintly and rubbed her hands: "Captain Chen, Principal Wu, if you don't mind my cooking skills, please stay for a simple meal today. This is my way of thanking you two elders for taking care of Lu Qinchuan."

"Oh, sure. We haven't eaten Lu Qinchuan's food in all these years. Men change a lot after they have wives, haha." Chen Guozheng laughed and applauded.

Principal Wu also stood up with a smile, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Then let me help you with something. You look so delicate and tender, I wouldn't have thought you could cook."

Zhou Ruoyu waved her hands hurriedly: "No, no, it's enough to have Sister Zhou to help me. It's just a simple meal and I'll be fine soon."

Boiled fish is what Lu Qinchuan has been craving for, so let him have it again today.
