Yang Rui moved her arms.
There were white gauze and cotton balls attached to the back of her hands to block the needle holes for water dripping.
That thin white hand gently grabbed Zhao Shuisheng's clothes.
The fingers tightened and shook slightly.
"It hurts. Ah Sheng, I have a bubble in my mouth. It hurts."
The pain was so bad that I couldn't eat, so I couldn't even drink my favorite millet porridge. I just drank some brown sugar water.
It hurt so much that it was difficult to even speak, and if he accidentally touched it, he would gasp in air.
Yang Rui was originally small, fair and fragile.
Coupled with being ill, the whole person looked even more pitiful.
No need to pretend to be weak.
Just such a gentle word was enough to make Zhao Shuisheng's heart soften.
When speaking.
The man's face was still tense, but his voice had become softer unconsciously.
"Open your mouth and let me see."
"ah--"
Yang Rui opened her mouth obediently.
There are blisters one after another in the small mouth. Let alone eating, I am afraid that just touching the tongue will cause bursts of pain.
Zhao Shuisheng's fist hanging by his side was clenched so hard.
How come he doesn’t know at all!
They were obviously sleeping in the same bed, but they didn't discover these things until the last moment.
Zhao Shuisheng fell into deep regret and self-blame.
Yang Rui grabbed his clothes with her fingers and never let go. She shook them gently again, calling back Zhao Shuisheng's attention.
She said softly.
"A Sheng, can we go home?"
His watery eyes were full of expectation.
There was still a smile on his pale face.
Zhao Shuisheng's heart felt sour and astringent, and his throat rolled as he said.
"Okay, let's go home."
…
The two returned home.
Zhao Shuisheng carried Yang Rui all the way to bed, and even took off her shoes and socks with his own hands, wanting to protect her like a glass doll.
"I made another cup of brown sugar water. It's still hot. If it gets cold later, don't drink it. I'll get a new one."
"The millet porridge is warm on the stove. If you want to eat it anytime, I will go and get it."
"Doctor Pei said that you have to go to get fluids again tomorrow and check your temperature again. I asked Sister Xu for three days of leave for you..."
Yang Rui nodded slightly at first.
But when I heard it was "three days."
"No. Three days is too long. I still have a lot of things to do. It will be too late."
"At least three days. You are not allowed to get out of bed within three days. You must rest at home. We will see the situation after three days. If your body has not recovered, you can continue to rest. "
Zhao Shuisheng's tone was tough and he didn't give Yang Rui a chance to refute.
Yang Rui moved her fingers, but under the anxious gaze of the man on the side, she could only accept it reluctantly.
that's all.
Yang Rui rested for three days.
After all, she was young and had a good physical condition. Coupled with the water intake and medicine, and Zhao Shuisheng's attentive care, she was basically fully recovered by the third day.
All that's left is the blisters in his mouth, which haven't fully healed yet.
But in the past three days, Zhao Shuisheng tried his best to prepare delicious food for her, all of which were nutritious and good things.
She didn't eat much, but she had a rosy complexion.
He was completely different from three days ago when he was in so much pain that he was sweating all over his body.
On the fourth day.
Zhao Shuisheng still didn't let go, whether he could let her go to work.
But since breakfast, Yang Rui's watery eyes have been filled with agility.
Zhao Shuisheng was going to the military camp anyway, and he couldn't get out of the military camp.
As soon as the man went out, she went to Xu Muhua and took over the previous work.
As long as he comes back early in the evening, Zhao Shuisheng won't be able to find him.
Yang Rui calculated this in her mind, sipped the millet porridge in small sips, and smiled lightly.
However.
After breakfast, Zhao Shuisheng did not put on his military uniform and go out as usual.
Instead, he sat motionless, looking at the small half bowl of millet porridge in Yang Rui's hand that had not yet been finished.
Tick tick tick.
The clock made the sound of a pendulum swinging.
Yang Rui looked at the time, then at the man in front of her, and reminded her loudly.
"If you don't go out, you'll be late."
"I took a day off."
Zhao Shuisheng answered straightforwardly.
Yang Rui was stunned.
Her mouth was open, holding a small bowl in one hand and a spoon in the other, looking dazed.
Ask for leave? !
These words actually came from Zhao Shuisheng's mouth.
You must know that when they got married, Zhao Shuisheng did not ask for marriage leave. He only said that matters in the military camp were more important and there was no need to ask for leave.
Later, whether he was sick or celebrating the New Year, Zhao Shuisheng never asked for leave once.
Such a man who "makes the military camp his home" actually asked for leave today.
Yang Rui was stunned and couldn't come back to her senses.
Zhao Shuisheng had already continued talking.
"I asked Sister Xu. The place we want to go next is Shan'ao Village. It's several hills away. We have to leave early in the morning and come back at night."
"...?"
Yang Rui was stunned and hurriedly put down the spoon in her hand.
Her eyes widened in disbelief.
"Are you going to come with me?"
"Yeah." Zhao Shuisheng nodded, "I don't trust you, so I'll go with you."
A simple sentence of "I don't trust you" was probably the most touching love words Zhao Shuisheng had said in the past three days.
It was also the only thing this rough and clumsy man said.
In Yang Rui's heart, what she heard was not only these words, but also the thoughtfulness of the man in front of her.
He knew that Yang Rui would definitely go out secretly...
There was no obstruction, no force, no objection, but she silently chose Yang Rui's side.
Go with us all the way.
"A Sheng, you are so kind."
Yang Rui narrowed her eyes and smiled sweetly.
…
In the small courtyard of Jiang Ning's family.
Yang Rui's smile was as sweet as that morning, with a hint of shyness.
She blushed, but couldn't help but say.
"Aning, you don't know that when I went to the village to do mass work, the villagers looked down on me and were not willing to listen to me at all. But after he went there, everything was different."
"He didn't have to do anything, he just sat there in his military uniform! The surrounding villagers all calmed down and became obedient. If I asked anything, the villagers would just say what they said. Even the children didn't make any noise. It’s noisy.”
"Sometimes, we still encounter some special difficulties. After all, we are taking away other people's children. He just sat there and said one sentence - I want to take your child to study. Will you give it to me or not? "
Yang Rui imitated Zhao Shuisheng's tone and expression at that time, and couldn't help but laugh first.
Jiang Ning has been listening quietly.
His eyes stared at Yang Rui's excited and happy appearance.
Pictures can't help but emerge in my mind.
The hunky Zhao Shuisheng sat in front of the villagers' house, wearing a military uniform.
Menacing, mighty and majestic.
What the common people trust most is the military, and the military will never harm them.
In addition, Yang Rui was explaining and comforting.
They are a couple, one soft and one strong.
perfect match.
Jiang Ning also laughed when he thought about that scene.
She looked at Yang Rui and teased.
"You two are a couple, so you won't be tired from the work. Will the follow-up work be much smoother?"
Yang Rui looked a little shy and nodded slightly.
"Well, with his help, mass work suddenly became easier, so this school was started in advance."
The two talked happily.
The earthen kiln oven on the side emitted an alluring aroma.
