1970s: Hot wife accompanies the army, cold-faced rough man is not easy to tease

Chapter 73 Dried Figs
"How's Chasing the Wind?"

Doctor Wang shook his head and sighed, "We've treated the external injuries, they're not serious, but there's shrapnel in the left eye, so it can't be saved."

Lu Youyou took the surgical record and read it carefully, and the last glimmer of hope in her heart was extinguished.

Even fifty years later, such injuries would not save the eyes, even if she performed the surgery herself.

Seeing that she also shook her head, Jiang Chuan's emotions, which had just stabilized, showed signs of surging again.

Gu Qingye bent down and held Zhuifeng's front paw which was not wrapped in gauze.

This time Zhuifeng finally responded. It began to sob silently, its chest rising and falling silently.

It seemed to understand that from now on it would never be able to fight alongside its comrades again.

Gu Qingye felt very uncomfortable and almost felt a real pain. He wanted to comfort her but couldn't say it.

He is a soldier, and so is Zhuifeng. If one day the career he is willing to give everything for is forced to be interrupted, perhaps he will be the same.

Lu Youyou also came over and touched the half of Zhuifeng's face without gauze.

"You're just injured, not useless. Even if you can't be a military dog ​​in the future, there are still many other things you can do. Are you willing to believe me?"

Zhuifeng certainly knew Lu Youyou and could even understand her identity as a veterinarian.

To the dog, Lu Youyou is like a big bone with a strong aroma. In the past, it always had to use all its strength to resist the urge to get close.

Now it has no strength left and its world is crumbling, but Lu Youyou says it is still useful.

No one can resist such temptation!

New flames burst out from the ashes that were about to burn out.

Zhuifeng moved, and a whirring sound came from his mouth.

"Let's work together, okay?" Lu Youyou took Zhuifeng from Gu Qingye. "If you agree, let's shake hands."

Amidst everyone's incredulous gazes, Zhuifeng actually shook his front legs vigorously.

Tears welled up in Lu Youyou's eyes. Zhuifeng was so sensible, which made fate seem even more fickle.

She looked up at Gu Qingye and said, "Can we adopt Zhuifeng?" Then she looked at Jiang Chuan again.

This question gave Jiang Chuan an outlet for his surging emotions: "Sister-in-law, are you serious?"

Although there are guarantees for retired military dogs, in a case like Zhuifeng, adopting him can be said to be the best solution.

The waves in Gu Qingye's heart could not calm down for a long time.

This is what he wanted to say.

Gu Qingye had never had such a clear feeling that he and she had always been on the same path.

"Captain Jiang, we will cooperate with any necessary procedures."

After saying that, he took a step to the left, lowered his head and whispered in Lu Youyou's ear: "Thank you."

Lu Youyou's ears felt a little hot, and she said angrily, "You don't let me be polite, and you're being polite again? I really like chasing the wind, not for anyone."

Gu Qingye lowered his eyes and smiled silently.

Zhuifeng seemed to understand and made a whirring sound again.

Lu Youyou comforted him softly, "You have to stay here for a few more days. We will come to pick you up when you are discharged from the hospital. You have a brother named Xiao Huihui. I will bring him with me when the time comes."

In terms of age, Zhuifeng is of course older, but families with two children must balance the family status of the two children and cannot let the older child feel that he is no longer important with the new one.

Little Huihui didn't know that he was about to have a younger brother who was more than ten times heavier than him. At this moment, he was coming out of the mountain with a carefully selected chicken in his mouth.

The family compound is more lively today than yesterday. Little Huihui circled in the sky for a long time, and when there was no one around, he swooped down into his own yard.

Its claws loosened and the whole bird collapsed to the ground.

It took quite a while to make sure the pheasant didn't crow, die, or move around. After lying there for a while, Xiao Huihui went to drink some water, but when he came back, he found the pheasant was completely motionless.

It didn't use any strength, so how did it die?

Xiao Huihui ran over and kicked the pheasant hard. The pheasant, which had failed in its attempt to play dead, stood up and tried to escape, but fell down again as soon as it stood up. Stars appeared in its eyes and its legs were very weak.

When coming back, Xiao Huihui stopped and turned suddenly, and went up and down to avoid being seen. The pheasant had never been more than five meters above the ground in its life, and it was already dizzy and unable to walk.

What’s even worse is that the chicken vomited while kneeling down!
Little Huihui staggered back a few steps, and flew up to the top of the wall as if escaping for his life. He accidentally fanned off a feather, which happened to fall on the pheasant's head.

Now that's good, my eyes closed and I completely fainted.

As soon as Lu Youyou came back, she smelled a strange smell in the yard.

A chicken, whose life or death was uncertain, lay lying beside a pool of yellow water, and a ball of fur was curled up on the right wall.

Whenever Lu Youyou looked at it, it turned its head away, relying on its ability to turn 270 degrees, and never met her gaze.

"Ahem, who is so capable as to catch such a beautiful chicken?"

Lu Youyou asked with a smile, and when she saw Gu Qingye looking at her, she made a "hush" gesture.

Xiao Huihui turned back at a speed of 10 degrees per second, looking at Lu Youyou hesitantly, unwilling to admit that the puddle on the ground was its masterpiece.

Lu Youyou stretched out her hand and said, "It's Xiao Huihui, right? It's amazing! You can't buy such a good chicken anywhere else!"

Little Huihui was praised so much that he felt ecstatic. He flew into Lu Youyou's arms and buried his head, blushing.

Gu Qingye picked up the pheasant consciously and washed away the dirt on the ground.

Half of the cleaned chicken was braised, and the other half was given to Lu Youyou to make soup.

The pheasant meat was firm and chewy, and had been cooked for a long time. Lu Youyou was tempted by the smell.

I ran around all day, feeling very nervous, and the little food I had for lunch was already gone.

At times like this, I should have some potato chips and spicy strips, but conditions don’t allow, so I can only make do with dried radish.

Captain Zhou from the kitchen team gave her two more cans. This time the radish was slightly sour, spicy and salty, and it was most satisfying to eat it alone.

Gu Qingye just went into the house to get something, and when he came back he found Lu Youyou squatting next to the kimchi jar.

The unique aroma of kimchi makes people salivate, and their hunger turns from 30% to 70%.

She couldn't wait to pick one out, and just as she was about to put it in her mouth, her eyes met Gu Qingye's.

Even though I was at home and eating my own kimchi, I still felt a little embarrassed about being caught.

Gu Qingye smiled and handed over the package in his hand: "Try it."

When the thin hemp rope was removed, a burst of fruity fragrance wafted into Lu Youyou's nose, and the round little fruits stimulated Lu Youyou's taste buds.

Lu Youyou's eyes lit up: "Dried figs? How do you know I like to eat this?"

Gu Qingye smiled and said, "I saw that the supply and marketing cooperative had some, so I bought some. If you like them, I'll ask my comrades there to send them to you."

Lu Youyou couldn't wait to taste one. It was rich, sweet and very chewy.

"Aren't you guys doing a drill? And you can still go shopping?"

Gu Qingye looked at her like a little squirrel, stuffing another one into her mouth before finishing one, and he knew that she really liked this thing.

"After finishing, I rested for a day, so I went out to see if there were any gifts I could bring back."

Lu Youyou was caught off guard by this direct attack, her eyes widening as wide as dried fruit. "So this is what you meant by the apology for the business trip before you left?"

Unexpectedly, Gu Qingye shook his head, and another small object appeared in his hand. It was still the familiar bullet shell, but this time the craftsmanship was much more complicated.

"I looked at it for a long time and I still think this is the best."
