Ever since the snow melted, Su Mei had been wanting to talk to Huo Jianguo about the divorce.
But Huo Jianguo happened to go to the military area to resume work on the first day when the snow melted. He left early and came back late, so Su Mei couldn't find a chance to talk to him.
But she is not in a hurry. The clinic is now open and she is earning a salary. She is living a fulfilling life here, so she has not wasted her good years.
She has to return to the countryside. She wants to continue her old profession and continue to be a doctor to treat people, but she is afraid that it will take a lot of trouble.
After all, there will never be another Li Yuan in the countryside, which just gives her a chance to prove herself.
Her local reputation was even worse.
Su Mei has not yet thought about what she will do after returning to the mountains. She has not been exposed to that world, so she cannot prepare for a rainy day.
Now we can only take one step at a time.
Because Huo Jianguo limited the number of soldiers who could come to see the doctor, Su Mei was not busy.
She does yoga every day and still takes weight loss pills. After ten days, she feels that her waist has become smaller.
The pants that were tight before have become looser.
This change may not be felt by outsiders, but Su Mei herself has experienced the results.
In the past, she would suffer from back pain while sitting to see patients. After losing a little weight, sitting was no longer as strenuous as before.
What satisfied her the most was that her fingers were no longer as swollen as before. This made her way of injecting and injecting others much smoother, and her handwriting became more beautiful.
Of course, the word "Juanxiu" was just Su Mei's own evaluation of her handwriting. In Huo Jianguo's view, her handwriting was so scrawled that it was impossible to recognize it.
It's also normal. Few people in this world can recognize the words written by doctors on the medical certificate.
Because appointments are made in advance for medical treatment, Su Mei basically calls in the order of numbers when seeing a doctor, which saves soldiers from queuing up outside.
A fire was made in the yard, and Huo Jianguo nailed a few benches and placed them in the yard.
The soldiers who had not been called sat around the fire and warmed themselves up.
The soldiers gathered around to talk and sometimes sang together when they were in a good mood, so the yard was always very lively these days.
Su Mei called her number in the clinic one by one, which made her feel like she was on duty in the clinic in modern times.
When the sounds in the yard disappeared and the noisy crowd was silent, Su Mei knew that she had completed her morning task.
She stood up and stretched, then took a sip of the tea she brewed in a porcelain vat, then stood up and opened the door curtain and walked out.
She would cook her own lunch at noon, take a nap after eating, and then get up to start her afternoon consultations.
Life is monotonous and regular, and Su Mei lives a contented life.
After leaving the door, she walked to the kitchen. She hadn't finished the sweet potatoes she had steamed in the morning. She planned to stir-fry some cabbage and eat them with the sweet potatoes to make a simple lunch.
As she walked to the kitchen door with her hands on her hips to go in, she heard a clear and sweet female voice from the courtyard door:
"sister in law!"
Su Mei turned her head in confusion when she heard this, and she saw a tall woman walking in from the courtyard door.
The woman is very beautiful, her skin is a healthy wheat color, her eyebrows are picturesque, and her eyes are as bright as the morning sun.
The clothes he wore were fashionable and exquisite, and the black leather shoes under his feet were stained with a little mud but still shone with shoe polish, which was incompatible with this remote and backward military region.
If it weren't for the bell-bottoms on her that looked too dated, Su Mei almost thought she had returned to modern times.
Judging from the facial features, Su Mei felt that the woman looked a bit familiar, but after thinking about it in her mind, she couldn't remember her information, so she could only open her mouth and ask:
"Who are you?"
"Sister-in-law, this is Sister Yinglan." Jiang Wei emerged from behind, and he continued to introduce: "Sister Yinglan used to be a soldier in the Corps. She retired because of injury and left the military region.
She is a very famous female hero in our regiment, a great hero. After she left, she still missed the regiment. Every year she would come all the way from Shanghai to the military region to see her old comrades! "
"Jiang Wei, please stop praising me. If you continue to praise me, I won't know my last name anymore!" Yinglan said, raising her lips and smiling.
When she smiled, the pear dimples loomed at the corners of her mouth, and her whole body seemed like a plum blossom blooming in the cold winter.
It was these two pear dimples that finally reminded Su Mei of where she had seen this face before - this woman was the one in the photo in Huo Jianguo's notebook.
She was even prettier in person than in the photos. Su Mei thought to herself, no wonder Huo Jianguo hid her photos. How could a man not be confused after seeing a woman like this?
If it weren't for gender restrictions, she couldn't help but be moved by just one look at her. After looking at the woman calmly for a few times, Su Mei said:
"Beauty...Comrade, you're here to see Huo Jianguo, right? He went back to work in the military area yesterday and is not at home today."
"I'm not looking for him." Yinglan quickly shook her head.
She also looked at Su Mei secretly, and found that although Su Mei was fat, she was very clean, fresh and tidy, and not as miserable as Zhao Ying described to her on the phone.
Moreover, Su Mei's eyes are clear and bright, and her tone of voice is calm and generous. She can also treat people's illnesses, which is completely inconsistent with the unreasonable and savage shrew in Zhao Ying's mouth.
After taking a look at Su Mei, Yinglan continued: "Sister-in-law, I came here specifically to see you.
When I was in the Corps, I was a soldier under Captain Huo. Because I retired early, I haven't met my sister-in-law yet!
I just heard Jiang Wei say that you came to the military hospital and opened a clinic here. I was curious about what kind of woman the captain married, so I wanted to follow Jiang Wei and take a look. "
"It's a coincidence." Jiang Wei took over what Yinglan said: "I was coming out of the gate of the military area, and Sister Yinglan saw me at the door.
Doctor Qin came back. He found that all the medicines in the clinic had disappeared and thought it was a theft. Sister Yinglan came to the military area with Doctor Qin. She was about to help him inquire about the clinic when she met me.
By the way, I told her about you opening a clinic and moving all the medicines to the military hospital. Then Sister Yinglan said she wanted to meet you, so she came over with me.
After she came here, seeing how busy you were, she didn't come in to disturb you, and went with me to Aunt Wang's house next door. "
Su Mei didn't understand why Yinglan came to find her, but since they were here, she must be polite to entertain them. After listening to Jiang Wei's words, she smiled and said:
"Hey, don't stand at the door. It's very cold outside. Come in and sit inside!"
"Sister-in-law, I won't sit down." Jiang Wei waved his hand: "Li Yuan is shouting that he needs to go to the toilet. I have to go over and help him. I will introduce you to Sister Yinglan when I come over. You guys chat while I leave. !”
After speaking, Jiang Wei turned around and hurried out the door.
Su Mei and Yinglan were the only two unfamiliar women left in the yard. Yinglan smiled a little embarrassedly:
"I came to visit unexpectedly. I hope I didn't disturb my sister-in-law-!"
