1979: My fiancée is a goddess

Chapter 262 A mess
As the sun set in the afternoon, the temperature in the ward gradually became cooler.

Not far away, there was a lively little forest with rustling leaves.

Gusts of cool, fresh air poured in from the window, swirled around the ward, and took away the stuffy, humid air.

at this time.

The group sat on the beds in the ward, and after listening to Ning Qiuyue and Jiang Ting's detailed account of the situation, they chatted about family matters for a while.

Liu Xiaoli leaned on the bed, holding a glass of boiled water in her hand. Her lips were a little dry, but she didn't drink it.

He just stared through the open door, staring blankly at the unconscious Cheng Kaiyan in the ward opposite.

She looked uninterested, and everyone knew that she was worried about Cheng Kaiyan, so they didn't force her to talk.

"Yes, the battle is raging on the frontline right now, with several regiments fighting on the frontline. Fortunately, Cheng Kaiyan did not stay there, but rushed to find Jiang Ting overnight, otherwise...

Fortunately, Cheng Kaiyan's intelligence was timely, and our army deployed troops in advance, catching the enemy off guard. Now the war is gaining the upper hand, and we may be able to return victorious soon.

I heard from my third brother that Cheng Kaiyan has definitely made a great contribution this time, and he will definitely be commended when he returns triumphantly.

If Cheng Kaiyan had been in the army before, this achievement alone would have been enough for him to be promoted to platoon leader, and he would also be recommended to study in a military academy!"

After saying that, Ning Qiuyue took a sip of tea to moisten her throat which was dry from speaking for so long.

“Whether it is a blessing or a curse, who can tell?”

Jiang Ting shook her head when she heard that. If possible, she would rather not have this credit, as long as Cheng Kaiyan was safe and sound.

"Think positively about everything."

Jiang Wan held her sister's cold hand tightly and comforted her.

From everyone's words, she could probably form a basic impression of Cheng Kaiyan in her mind.

For a moment, my dislike for him was somewhat diluted, but deep down, my feelings became much more complicated.

Yuxiu had indeed taught her son very well, and his character, personality, and way of doing things were all first-rate.

He returned alone to deliver the information and took the opportunity to blow up the chain bridge. This shows his pure heart and extraordinary courage.

He did not hesitate to run dozens of miles of mountain roads overnight to rescue Jiang Ting, and then led the enemy away alone. Even though he was seriously injured, he never gave up. He is a loyal and righteous, iron-blooded hero.

Such people would be first-rate characters in novels.

But one code equals another.

His relationship with his daughter Liu Xiaoli...

Jiang Wan looked at her daughter who had been silent for a long time, and sighed in her heart, 'When Cheng Kaiyan wakes up, maybe I should talk to him.'

Everyone chatted for a while.

Finally, Ning Qiuyue rubbed her sore neck and looked down at her watch. "It's getting late now. It's already half past four. How about we go home? It's a good opportunity for us to go see my third brother. He's also recuperating here."

After saying that, she looked at Jiang Ting.

It seems that Sister Jiang Wan is not aware of the divorce.

Jiang Ting thought for a moment and said calmly, "You guys go, I'll stay with Xiaoli."

"Okay, let's go take a look, and we'll come back later to settle down."

Jiang Wan nodded in agreement. It turned out that A Ting came to Southern Xinjiang because of her brother-in-law Ning Ruzheng. Since she was already here, she might as well go and take a look.

So everyone turned around and left, each busy with their own things.

Jiang Wan went to visit Ning Ruzheng who was recuperating. He responded naturally and did not tell her about the divorce.

Before leaving, Ning Qiuyue invited everyone to dinner, saying that she and her third brother Ning Ru were going to host a welcome dinner for Jiang Wan and Liu Xiaoli at the hotel.

Jiang Wan then packed up her things with her sister Jiang Ting and went to the guesthouse where she lived to settle down her luggage.

The entire inpatient department finally quieted down.

Liu Xiaoli locked the door, sat on the stool beside the bed, quietly looked at the unconscious young man on the bed, and finally dared to try to reach out and touch him.

She raised her right hand slightly and extended a white index finger. The finger was slender and smooth, with distinct joints, and the healthy light pink nails were neat and beautiful.

The fingers fell gently, and the soft fingertips carefully brushed across Cheng Kaiyan's body.

From the severely injured back, the rough and breathable gauze, the hard blood scabs, the strong back muscles, the shoulder blades, the slender neck, the warm head, to the ears, and the empty wrists...

Every time she saw a scar, the girl's breathing became heavier, her heart felt more distressed, and her eyes became more moist.

"Wake up quickly... I really want to talk to you. When you wake up, let's go shopping, watch a movie, and eat delicious food together, okay?"

The girl's voice, as gentle as spring water, moistened the deserted room, carrying with it deep affection and sadness.

She sniffed her sour nose, lowered her head slightly, and moved closer to the young man on the hospital bed.

Until my fair and delicate forehead touches the other person's forehead.

This action is exclusive between the two of them.

The posture that is closest to the heart, the most intimate, and the favorite, maybe he will wake up faster this way?
Liu Xiaoli pressed her hands against Cheng Kaiyan's forehead. The cool body temperature, the intimate movements, and the familiar smell of medicine all made her dazed.

After maintaining the posture for a long time, the girl calmed down and felt at ease.

"When you wake up, I'll let you touch all those embarrassing things you like. There's no time limit, okay? As long as you wake up."

She spoke with anticipation, the fiery sunset in the afternoon fell on her face, a touching red cloud rose quietly, the girl's youth and mature charm echoed each other, it was very moving.

It’s a pity that the young man who has all this is still sleeping.

Perhaps it was an illusion, the fingers touching the girl's long black hair seemed to tremble.

……

night.

Ning Ruzheng and Ning Qiuyue treated us to a meal at a restaurant, and the meal was delicious.

After dinner, Liu Xiaoli and her mother were very tired both physically and mentally, so they went back to the guesthouse to rest.

Jiang Ting will be keeping watch in the hospital, and they will take over tomorrow.

the following few days.

Liu Xiaoli gets up very early every day, and after washing up, she goes to the hospital to accompany Cheng Kaiyan.

Because the weather is hot and humid in summer.

Cheng Kaiyan had to wipe her body every day while lying in bed and apply ointment to prevent sores.

Liu Xiaoli originally wanted to do it herself. After all, he was the man she had chosen to spend her life with. Although it was embarrassing to wipe his body, she was willing to do it.

But my mother was against it, and even my aunt was against it.

The reason is very simple. The back injury is too serious and requires a very professional technique called the axis turning method, which requires two or three professional nurses to handle.

Even my aunt had to learn from the nurses for a few days before she could do it.

Moving rashly would only make the injury worse.

As a result, Liu Xiaoli gave up.

"Rest in peace. After you've wiped yourself, come in and keep him company. I'll be all right here."

Jiang Ting whispered, feeling a little complicated and bitter in her heart.

She didn't want Liu Xiaoli to replace her, not because Liu Xiaoli had never learned this technique.

But...

"understood."

Liu Xiaoli nodded, and she suddenly asked, "Aunt, do you know where Kaiyan's watch is?"

Jiang Ting shook her head slightly when she heard this, "I don't know."

"Ah."

The girl didn't think much about it. A lot of things happened in the past period of time. Maybe it was lost accidentally. It would be fine when the person came back. If the watch was lost, she could just buy another one.

……

Over the next week.

Liu Xiaoli stayed in the hospital with the unconscious Cheng Kaiyan, sitting and talking with him, touching his hands and kissing his forehead.

Liu Xiaoli heard from her aunt that this method would help him deepen his perception of the outside world and wake up quickly.

During this period of time, this work has been done by my aunt Jiang Ting.

After Liu Xiaoli came, it was natural for her, the legitimate partner, to do it.

During this week, some writers who were on field trips came to visit. Liu Xiaoli learned that the field trips have basically come to an end, and everyone is working hard on their creations in the military region, preparing for the upcoming field trip essay competition.

For example, Liu Xiaoli knew Jiang Zilon, Ye Xin and others. I heard that there was a female comrade named Wang Anyi who had not come yet. She was in seclusion in the military region writing for a while.

In addition, people from the Southern Xinjiang Military Region Art Troupe came to visit Cheng Kaiyan.

There were a few female comrades, named Amy Yip and Zhuo Yun, who brought flowers and fruits to visit.

Another important person.

Cheng Kaiyan's sworn sister, Lin Qingshui.

Liu Xiaoli was a little surprised at first. Why were there so many lesbians?

Who is this Lin Qingshui?

Later, the two talked for a long time in the ward, and she learned that it was her sister who had saved Cheng Kaiyan's life before.

……

……

Time flies and it is September 9th.

On Zhongshan Road in the provincial capital of southern Xinjiang.

The streets are bustling with people, some carrying vegetables on their shoulders, some repairing shoes, and some repairing bicycles.

Everywhere you look, there are workers in blue clothes riding or walking to work, with two buns in their hands, chewing on them.

"What activities are there in the factory today?"

"Let's go climbing. Today is the Double Ninth Festival. Our factory leader said that we will hold a climbing competition at Xiaoyun Mountain in the suburbs. There will be prizes for the top few winners."

"Tsk! Isn't it just some free corn flour and some salt?" "Little comrade, your ideological awareness is not good enough. This is called celebrating a revolutionary Double Ninth Festival and reaching a new peak in socialist construction!"

"Hey, I remember you won a prize last year?"

"What's wrong?"

"Sell me your teacup with a picture of workers, peasants and soldiers climbing a mountain printed on it. Ten cents."

"You are a man with good vision! You have ideological awareness. One cent is too little. You should give two cents."

The two of them started bargaining with a grin on their faces.

The street was quite bustling.

At No. 108 Zhongshan Road, there is a three-story building sandwiched between a supply and marketing cooperative and a credit union.

Letter:

Guesthouse of Ganlanbazhou Agricultural Machinery Factory No. 2.

Although it is a guesthouse of an agricultural machinery factory, it also receives outside guests.

Just like that, at seven o'clock in the morning, the old door covered with green copper rust was opened early.

Snapped!
wow-

A splash of face washing water flowed down the wall of the enamel basin onto the bluestone tiles on the street. The water exploded on the ground, and countless water droplets and hot air escaped, splashing all over the two people who were squatting on the curb eating buns and chatting.

The two were instantly shocked and angry, and quickly turned around, intending to teach this person who dared to throw dirty water behind their backs a lesson.

"Get away! Don't get in the way here!"

A fierce female comrade with dark skin and two big braids on her head started cursing.

The two of them shrank their necks and ran away angrily upon seeing this. This woman was famous for being a fierce woman on this street. She was used to teasing people in a sarcastic way and had a very poisonous tongue.

"You little brat, you're fighting with me. You've been talking nonsense downstairs so early in the morning and disturbed our comrades from the capital. I'm not done with you!"

Comrade Hu Xiaofeng, the director of the guesthouse, snorted with pride, took a sip from the large enamel teacup with the Labor Glory Award printed on it in her arms.

Then she threw her braids high on the back of her head, twisted her hips, hummed a little tune, and walked to the door of the guesthouse, placing the dogwood that she had picked from the wild in the morning on both sides of the door.

Their guesthouse has been very busy recently.

Some time ago, a female comrade from Beijing came to visit her relatives in the army, and in the past few days, two more female comrades came to visit relatives and patients in the hospital.

Hu Xiaofeng asked around on the street and heard from Aunt Chai, whose daughter was a nurse in the provincial hospital, that this was a strange thing.

It is said that a few days ago, a young man who was seriously injured by a shell came to the provincial hospital.

This attracted great attention from the provincial hospital and military district leaders, who issued a death order that this young comrade must be rescued at all costs. Fortunately, this man is lucky and is now lying unconscious in the hospital.

I heard that he was a talented writer who was collecting folk songs on the front line. He accidentally learned intelligence about the enemy while collecting folk songs. He risked his life to convey it. He was a little hero. Later, he rushed hundreds of miles and saved an important figure in the army.

Reporters from the provincial capital's daily newspaper and war correspondents from the provincial military district all wanted to interview his touching deeds and publish them in the newspapers!
I heard from the grapevine that Comrade Jiang, who had disappeared for several days, almost died because he encountered Vietnamese scouts in the mountains. Fortunately, he was rescued by this young man who ran thousands of miles along the mountain roads.

"My lover was injured and hospitalized on the front line and couldn't get out of bed. Then she ran into an enemy scout in the mountains and broke her leg. Then a young comrade was seriously injured and hospitalized while trying to save her. He has been in a coma ever since."

Could it be that it’s really what Aunt Chai mentioned… a bad luck star?

Born so well, it's inevitable that she has some misfortunes from her mother's womb."

Hu Xiaofeng didn't think that Comrade Jiang was a jinx, she just lamented that beauty is often short-lived and has a miserable fate.

But as long as nothing serious happens, that's OK.

"Deng Deng..."

Hu Xiaofeng was thinking deeply, and was muttering something like unlucky star and disaster, when she suddenly heard footsteps coming from the stairwell.

The sound came from far away and soon reached the front.

Hu Xiaofeng turned around subconsciously and saw three female comrades appearing in front of her.

She was immediately frightened and felt guilty. You know, just a second ago, she was still making up stories about Comrade Jiang in her mind.

"Hehe... Hehe, Comrade Jiang, you guys...are up so early?"

Hu Xiaofeng's face turned pale and blue as he spoke. There was no doubt that what he said just now was probably heard by someone.

The guesthouse is very quiet in the morning, you can hear a pin drop.

Jiang Ting raised her eyes but didn't look at her. She walked away with a calm face.

Liu Xiaoli and her mother Jiang Wan frowned slightly, not bothering to argue with her, and followed her.

After the three people left.

"You bastard! I told you that something bad would happen to you sooner or later, right? I heard it from Aunt Chai!"

Hu Xiaofeng slapped himself a few times in embarrassment and said angrily.

……

Jiang Ting and the other two left the guesthouse and headed straight for the provincial hospital.

The three of them didn't speak along the way, but Jiang Ting couldn't help thinking about what she had just said in her heart.

“Could it be something…?”

Thinking of this, she had the urge to stop. If she was not around, would he wake up faster?
"Aunt, don't take it to heart. These people are used to talking nonsense. They are just talking about it to amuse themselves.

Besides, you are so well educated and have studied abroad to receive scientific education, how could you believe in these feudal superstitions? "

Liu Xiaoli was very thoughtful. She guessed what her aunt was thinking after just one closer look and comforted her with a chuckle.

She herself didn't say anything about it!

I didn't blame my aunt either.

But when is it other people's turn to gossip?
"Today is September 9th, Double Ninth Festival, the time of the year when the Yang energy is at its peak. Maybe Cheng Kaiyan will wake up in the next few days."

As the eldest sister, Jiang Wan didn't know what she was thinking of. She opened her mouth, not knowing what to say, so she changed the subject.

"Really?"

When Liu Xiaoli and Jiang Ting heard this, their eyes lit up.

"Counting the days I've been in the hospital, it's been almost half a month now, so I should be fine."

Jiang Wan glanced at the two of them looking eagerly at her and felt a little helpless.

By the way, the China National Opera and Dance Theater should be performing at the Great Hall of the People today, right?

I wonder what a grand performance it will be?
It’s a pity for Xiaoli, she loves dancing so much, and the opportunity to perform at the People’s Hall is extremely precious to her.

It can be said that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

But they can only give up, letting others benefit.

……

"Then let's move faster."

Liu Xiaoli had no idea what her mother was thinking, and even if she knew, she would just pretend not to hear it. This was her decision in the first place, and she had never regretted it.

She quickly took their hands and left quickly.

When she passed by the soup shop, she asked the old lady to make a clay pot of black chicken soup for her.

If Cheng Kaiyan wakes up today, she can drink it immediately.

Just wait until the three of them arrived at the hospital.

At the door of the intensive care unit, Cheng Kaiyan was still lying on the bed and had not woken up.

As usual, Liu Xiaoli sat beside the bed, holding a book.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

She put down the book and went out to take a look.

She is a young woman with regular features and a pretty face.

"you are?"

"You are Comrade Liu Xiaoli, right? I am Cheng Kaiyan's friend. We met last time. I am Wang Anyi."

Wang Anyi, looking a little haggard and with dark circles under her eyes, stretched out her hand.

"It turns out to be Comrade Wang Anyi, and I am Liu Xiaoli."

Liu Xiaoli calmly stretched out her hand and shook it.

"By the way, Comrade Liu Xiaoli, I have something I need to pass on to you."

Wang Anyi lowered her head and fumbled in her bag. After a while, she took out a stack of manuscript paper. "This is the manuscript that Cheng Kaiyan gave me to keep when she went back that day."

Liu Xiaoli smiled and said, "Thank you, Wang An..."

Before she could finish her words, she saw Wang Anyi take out another very familiar thing from her bag.

It is a watch, silver-white in color, with a dark brown cowhide strap, of exquisite texture and fine stitching.

Liu Xiaoli frowned slightly, pursed her lips and said nothing.

"This is Cheng Kaiyan's watch. She asked me to give it to you."

Wang Anyi didn't notice the changes in the person in front of him. She was still thinking about the scene that day, and explained, "He said that day that if he didn't come back, he would let me give it to you, and if he came back, he would come to me for it."

"Give me!"

Finally, Liu Xiaoli's eyes turned completely cold. She shouted, snatched the watch from Wang Anyi's hand, and held it tightly in her hand.

"you……"

The sudden conflict made Wang Anyi a little confused. She wanted to explain something, but when she saw Liu Xiaoli's frosty face, she finally turned around and left in silence.

Liu Xiaoli looked at her receding back and listened to the footsteps gradually fading away until it became completely quiet.

She lowered her head and looked at the watch in her hand.

To be precise, it is a token of love between the two.

And right now.

The young man in the ward suddenly began to move his eyeballs under his eyelids, as if he was about to wake up in the next moment.
