Crossing the Western Tianshan Mountains

So Fang Ya took out Wu Yongjie's cell phone and called the names such as "wife" and "daughter" noted on the phone.

I called his wife. The call went through, but the voice on the other end was very cold. "Wu Yongjie, what are you calling me about?"

"Hello, are you Wu Yongjie's wife? I'm Fang Ya from the medical team. Captain Wu has a serious health problem, and we need to inform his family. Also, would you like to know if they would like to visit?"

"He and I divorced a long time ago. What does his illness have to do with me?" The other party said this coldly and hung up.

Fang Ya stared at her phone for a while, then called her "daughter".

The other party answered the phone, and the voice of a girl about fifteen or sixteen years old was tender. "What's the matter? Why are you calling me?"

"Hello, are you Wu Qianqian? I'm your father's colleague. He's sick, and he's quite ill..."

"You're crazy! What does his illness have to do with me?" The other party hung up the phone without saying anything.

Fang Ya was unable to react for a long time. She flipped through her address book but didn't dare to dial again. Instead, she saw the note Wu Yongjie had made for her phone number, "Blue Lotus".

"What is this? My name isn't Lan Lianhua." She muttered to herself. At this moment, the doctor came over and said, "Are you Wu Yongjie's family member? His family members need to be notified of his illness."

"Uh, I've already notified them...but..."

She didn't know what to say.

Finally, she said, "I'm his family member, and he works for a company." She then gave her name and phone number, as well as her company's. "If anything happens, we'll take care of it."

The doctor nodded and left with the filled-in information.

Fang Ya entered the ward with her phone and found Wu Yongjie awake, half leaning on the bed, looking at Fang Ya with complicated eyes, "Um... I just heard you say you are my family member."

Fang Ya's expression remained unchanged as she returned his phone to him. "Your condition is still quite serious, and with cardiovascular disease, even hospitalization for observation and medication still carries risks, so you need to notify your family. However, your wife said she's divorced you, and your daughter seems very resentful of you."

Wu Yongjie snorted, "How can we possibly get a divorce! If Ling Fengxi doesn't divorce me, then neither will I! My family is perfect!"

"Then why do your family members treat you like this?" Fang Ya smiled.

"I just had a fight with my wife a couple of days ago," Wu Yongjie continued. "What couple doesn't fight? Anyway, I'm no worse than Ling Fengxi. I have everything he has."

Fang Ya originally wanted to tell Wu Yongjie, "But Ling Fengxi doesn't have a wife anymore. His wife has passed away."

But after hesitating for a moment, he felt that this was their private matter and there was no need for him to be the messenger, so he just said, "Okay, okay, you have everything, so please respect yourself more next time and think about your wife and daughter at home when you tease other women."

"I—" Wu Yongjie seemed to have swallowed a mouthful of bitter herbs, unable to speak out his bitterness. After a long while, he said, "I didn't tease anyone. I am, I am—"

He wanted to say, "I really like you."

But when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back, because at this moment, in Fang Ya's heart, he was a man with a family, he was not a bachelor, not a free man.

Fang Ya asked again, "What's going on with the blue lotus?"

Wu Yongjie suddenly looked into her eyes and began to sing, "The moment you lower your head, you realize the road under your feet and the free world in your heart. It is so clear and lofty, with blue lotus flowers that never fade..."

His voice was very charming, but this was a hospital, a place for singing? Moreover, why was he singing this song to her?

Fang Ya quickly stopped him, "Stop singing, you'll disturb others."

She was afraid that if he continued to sing, he would tell her, "Fang Ya, you are the blue flower in my heart that will never fade."

Wu Yongjie was very obedient. If you told him not to sing, he would not sing.

Fang Ya took his phone and changed the name Wu Yongjie had given him, "Blue Lotus", to the formal name "Fang Ya".

Then he said, "I'll go see what food is available in the cafeteria and get some for you."

Wu Yongjie jumped off the bed and said, "What's so good about the food in the hospital? Let's go out to eat. I'll treat you to Zhaosu's pilaf and pigeon soup."

Fang Ya looked at him seriously, "Comrade Wu Yongjie!"

Wu Yongjie immediately stood at attention, "Here!"

Fang Ya's tone was solemn and serious. "Comrade Wu Yongjie, you're here to get treated, not to enjoy yourself. Think about it, while you're enjoying yourself here, your comrades are still building a tunnel in the mountains. They're probably toiling away in the mud right now, while you're just taking advantage of this opportunity to feast and drink, right? You can't eat pilaf or pigeon soup for a while because your blood is too thick and it's affecting your cardiovascular system!"

"what!?"

"Oh!"

Wu Yongjie returned to his bed dejectedly and said, "Life is so cruel. This sentence made my blood thicken. It made me fully realize the pace of aging. Am I really old?"

Fang Ya was too lazy to pay attention to his melancholy and went to the cafeteria to get food.

Li Jianguo is in the municipal hospital, not in the nearby Zhaosu County.

He called Wu Yongjie and said, "Captain Wu, I need to return to the team. The hospital is not a place for people to stay. I am fine, but I have to wait until something bad happens."

"What did the doctor say?"

"The doctor asked me to stay in the hospital for treatment."

"Then you should stay in the hospital for treatment."

Wu Yongjie hung up without further ado. "One or two of you don't take your life seriously, are you kidding me? For me, I cherish my life very much. Since I can't eat meat and drink soup, from today on, I'm going to be a rabbit, and I want to be happy."

But when he found out that the meal Fang Ya brought her was really just very light cabbage and rice, he still frowned. It was not even as good as the food on the construction site. At this moment, he felt the same as Li Jianguo and wanted to go back to the construction site quickly to eat some delicious big pot meals.

Considering that Fang Ya is taking care of him, he can just stay in the hospital for two days.

……

Ling Fengxi officially hired Gulinar as a construction worker, offering her a temporary salary of 3,000 yuan. She was responsible for translation, supplying milk to the workers, and assisting Ye Minglang. Because Wu Yongjie and Li Jianguo were both hospitalized, much of the work on the construction site fell on Lin Jinghui.

But workers are not so easy to manage. They usually only recognize one boss, and when the boss leaves, they think that they can also take a break.

Lin Jinghui was somewhat overwhelmed in management, so Ye Minglang's task was to assist Lin Jinghui. After all, the shift system was still in place, and changing shifts was particularly troublesome. Workers often had conflicts and even physical fights with each other. Ye Minglang's workload was not small, so he needed an assistant.
