Su Mei helped Huo Jianguo all the way back to the room. His slender arms were placed on her shoulders, and his tall body leaned slightly against her, like a big mountain.
When he got to the kang, Huo Jianguo kicked off his shoes and lay down on it.
Thinking that he had not washed his feet, Su Mei glanced at his socks with disgust. Although his feet did not have an unpleasant foot odor, Su Mei just felt unclean.
"What, can you take off your socks before going to sleep?"
"Huh? Oh, okay." Huo Jianguo was stunned for a moment. He just lay down and then slowly sat up again, pressing his injured leg.
Are you beginning to dislike him for being dirty?
Her house used to be...forget it, let's not mention the past.
Huo Jianguo took off his socks and was hesitating where to put them. Su Mei dragged out the foot-washing basin from the corner, stretched it out in front of Huo Jianguo, and said:
"Put it inside!"
Then she watched Huo Jianguo throw the socks in, and stuffed the basin under the cabinet in disgust.
After placing the footbath, she picked up the military quilt Huo Jianguo placed on the cabinet and climbed into bed, wrapping herself up like a cicada pupa.
"Good night!" She yawned and closed her eyes, and soon she got under the quilt and breathed out quietly and calmly.
Occasionally, I will snore a few times.
After sleeping on the kang as he wished, Huo Jianguo was still a little insomniac. He turned sideways and stared at the mountain-like marching quilt one meter away, and was stunned.
Later, Huo Jianguo didn't know when he fell asleep.
The next day, the two of them were awakened by a knock on the door outside the yard.
"What time is it?" After waking up, Su Mei turned around and asked Huo Jianguo next to her.
Huo Jianguo raised his arm, glanced at his watch, and replied: "Eight-thirty."
In fact, Huo Jianguo had woken up long ago. His body had a built-in alarm clock and would wake up automatically at around seven o'clock.
But after waking up, he found that Su Mei was still sleeping soundly, so he didn't wake her up.
It wasn't until someone knocked on the door outside that Huo Jianguo yawned, pretending to be like Su Mei, who had just been woken up.
After hearing what time Huo Jianguo said, Su Mei got up from the bed and put on her clothes. While putting on her cotton trousers, she shouted to the people outside the door:
"Wait a minute, I'll be here soon."
While she was putting on her clothes, Huo Jianguo also got up. Seeing this, Su Mei said:
"Just stop and keep lying down. There are injuries everywhere. Why are you getting up? You don't want to go to work like this, do you?"
As she spoke, she walked up to the bed and felt the temperature on Huo Jianguo's forehead.
She touched Huo Jianguo's head and then her own, carefully distinguishing the difference in temperature.
She didn't notice at all that a button of her coat was unbuttoned, and when she bent down, half of her round figure was exposed, which was covered by an ill-fitting bellyband.
"Fortunately, it's not hot anymore!" Su Mei said and stepped back from the bed.
After coming down, she looked at Huo Jianguo strangely: "It's strange, it's obviously not hot anymore, why is your face still a little red?
Did you stay in the frontier for a long time, so a little plateau red appeared? "
"But... it's possible!" Huo Jianguo said, his eyes looking away uncomfortably.
Su Mei didn't think much, she put on her big cotton-padded jacket, buttoned it up and walked outside. When she got to the door, she realized that many people were waiting outside.
Aunt Wang came to call the couple to eat, some colleagues came to visit with food, and the old leader Chen Yilong looked majestic.
As Huo Jianguo's nominal wife, Su Mei tried her best to welcome the person into the courtyard with a smile on her face.
She felt a little embarrassed in her heart. There were three rooms in the courtyard, but there was no place to receive people. She could only lead these people into her bedroom.
Anyway, they are here to visit the injured, so let them go in and talk to Huo Jianguo!
Fortunately, these people also knew what was going on. When they entered the house, they found that there was no place to sit. They left gifts of condolence, exchanged a few words with Huo Jianguo and left in a hurry.
Soon, everyone left, and only Chen Yilong remained beside Huo Jianguo's bed, sitting on the only sofa in the room.
Seeing that everyone was gone, Chen Yilong had almost finished greeting Huo Jianguo. He suddenly turned his head to look at Su Mei, who had been standing at the door, and said:
"Xiao Su, you have worked hard these days. Jianguo is injured. You will stay at home to take care of him. I will give you two days off. You should also have a good rest."
"Thank you for your concern." Su Mei did not expect that Chen Yilong would suddenly talk to her. She was stunned, and then shook her head:
"No need to give me a day off!"
"How can that work!" Chen Yilong was startled, thinking about how Su Mei's consciousness had become so high. He looked at her with some disapproval:
"I think you should take it slow. You've been watching for two days. It's okay to take a break. Jianguo needs you too. You don't have to rush back to work."
"Uh, you misunderstood!" Su Mei looked at Chen Yilong apologetically and said, "I mean, there is no need to give me a holiday, because I won't go to the clinic to work anymore!"
Although she also has a heart to solve the problems of the frontier soldiers, she really can't go to this kind of class where her life is at stake!
This time I just met a wolf. What about a tiger on the road next time?
With her size, a big tiger wouldn't be able to finish a meal, and it would chew off an arm and leg for her. How scary is that?
When Chen Yilong heard Su Mei's words, his face turned cold:
"What do you mean you won't go to the clinic anymore?"
