Chapter 18: Eighty Soldiers 18

There were people coming and going in the hospital, and Zheng Bin took Jiang Rui to the door of a ward. He made a hissing gesture to signal Jiang Rui to wait outside, knocked on the door twice, and pushed in.
"Yo, so many people?"
Zhao Nan was not the only one in the ward. Several comrades came to visit him. In addition to a few female comrades from the Cultural Engineering Corps, Zheng Bin looked a little strange when he saw one of them.
The few people met him and greeted them one after another, "Hello Camp Chief Zheng."
Zheng Bin waved his hand, "It's such a coincidence, you all came to see Camp Chief Zhao?"
"Yes, there is no need to rehearse in the regiment today. We heard Company Commander Zhang say that Commander Zhao was injured, so we asked him to take us to see." A female comrade wearing a yellow scarf replied.
"Very good, good." Zheng Bin said in his mouth, glaring at the company commander Zhang secretly, staring blindly at him, and looking at Zhao Nan, "Old Zhao, how are you feeling today?"
"Not bad." Zhao Nan leaned against the head of the bed with one leg in cast.
Zheng Bin leaned against the door and said with a smile, "Look at you, you look very pitiful. Brother has prepared a surprise for you. Would you like to guess?"
"Thank you very much," Zhao Nan said indifferently.
In the past, seeing him so calm and calm, Zheng Bin often jumped his feet with anger, but today he is not anxious at all, as long as he thinks of the expressions after Lao Zhao, the patience now is worth it.
"I really don't expect it at all? Let me tell you that there is only one chance. After passing this village, there will be no such shop."
Zhao Nan didn't cooperate, raised his eyelids and glanced at him lightly. It's not that he didn't appreciate it on purpose, but that Zheng Bin's temperament was too unattractive. In the early years, he had been teased for so many times, but now he has gradually found a way to restrain him, that is, ignore him.
"Hey, you old Zhao, boring!" Zheng Bin muttered.
The female comrades of the cultural and industrial troupe nearby agreed with a smile, "Commander Zhao and Commander Zheng have a very good relationship."
Zheng Bin smiled at them and said to Zhao Nan: "Since you don't expect Lao Zhao, then I can only take my younger brothers and sisters away." He turned to leave.
Zhao Nan immediately turned his head to look at him, still thinking about what he meant by what he said. It was kind of true or false, and his mouth was already uncontrollably asked: "What brother and sister? Who is here?"
"Oh, don't you care? What else to ask." Zheng Bin smiled on his face, and he really owed him a bit.
When an idea came up, Zhao Nan couldn't believe it, but his chest thumped faster and faster. He ignored Zheng Bin and opened the quilt to get out of bed.
Zheng Bin was taken aback, and stopped him in a few steps, "You are crazy, Lao Zhao! Do you want this leg?"
Jiang Rui heard the movement and turned out from behind the door.
Zhao Nan was about to push Zheng Bin away. When he looked up and saw her, all his movements stopped.
The people in the ward also followed Jiang Rui, a flash of surprise flashed across their faces, and then they whispered.
Jiang Rui stepped forward and held Zhao Nan's arm to ask him to sit down. With little strength, he gently and skillfully pressed down the person who Zheng Bin couldn't support.
Zhao Nan's face was rarely dumbfounded, staring straight at her.
Jiang Rui also looked at him.
"baby……"
Zheng Bin shivered suddenly, "Lao Zhao, you are too numb! Why do you call your younger brother and sister baby?!"
Zhao Nan finally recovered, gave him a speechless look, and immediately looked at Jiang Rui: "When did you come?"
The two of them have been holding hands since just now, and there is no intention to let go. Jiang Rui sat on his bedside in this position: "Just after getting off the train, Brother Zheng picked me up. Why are you hurt? Doesn't it hurt?"
"It doesn't matter, it's just a small injury." Zhao Nan didn't care, and asked her again: "Is it tired?"
Jiang Rui shook his head, "Not tired, Xiaobei bought me a sleeper and slept several times on the road."
"I should go back to pick you up." Zhao Nan apologized.
"Then you have to move around." Zheng Bin interjected beside him, "Lao Zhao, if you have any private conversations with your younger siblings, you will close the door for a while and talk slowly. There are so many people watching. Keep it away, keep it away."
The few people who had been ignored for a long time had already dropped their jaws by Zhao Nan's soft tone of speaking to Jiang Rui. Is this the commander of the Yan Wang camp they know? !
Finally had the opportunity to speak, Zhang Dafa, the commander of Zhang, hurriedly asked curiously: "Commander, this is my sister-in-law?"
They had long heard from Battalion Commander Zheng that the commander went home to visit relatives this time, but he was actually pressed down to see the girl, and there was still a bit of gloat in his heart-a cold noodle, crushing them all day. Battalion commander, there are also times when he is forced to do so!
In only one month, his old man returned to the team and he was not unhappy at all. He was still decorating the house like the male bird who was building a nest.
The few of them were so curious that they scratched their hearts and minds. What is the sacred sister-in-law, who can easily take the battalion commander? I met today and I was well-known. The battalion commander is the battalion commander. What a blessing!
Zhao Nan introduced his company commanders to Jiang Rui. As for the ladies, they only said that they were female comrades of the cultural and industrial troupe, but did not introduce them one by one.
The yellow scarf opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but was pressed down by another beautiful girl beside him.
Zheng Bin saw in his eyes, his eyelids twitched.
Jiang Rui didn't seem to see it. He pursed the corner of his mouth, revealing a shallow vortex, and greeted them.
"Let’s go first, let Old Zhao and his younger siblings have a good talk, and wait until Zhao is discharged from the hospital the next day, and we will go to his house to make a noise." Seeing that the person he should know already knows, Zheng Bin intends to leave with irrelevant personnel to avoid giving birth. Minor.
When he said that, it was hard for the others to stay, and they stood up and left.
Jiang Rui sent people outside, closed the door and walked back.
Zhao Nan's eyes were always on her, and before anyone approached, he reached out and held her hand tightly in her palm.
Jiang Rui sat down, leaned forward, and leaned lightly on his chest.
Zhao Nan folded his arms, held the person in his arms, bowed his head and kissed the top of her hair. The anxiety and depression caused by the injuries these days have all disappeared after seeing her, leaving nothing but tranquility and satisfaction.
"How is the house?"
"It's all pretty good. The spring plowing is over. My sister-in-law and I took turns to go down to the ground. As a result, the two people did not work as fast as my mother alone. Xiaobo would also help and gave us meals several times. Dad and brother still do it every day Running up the mountain, they found a swarm of wild bees, how they were moving into the beehive with a headache. Also, my sister-in-law secretly told me that Cici might have someone she likes."
"Who is it?" Zhao Nan asked.
Jiang Rui shook his head, "My sister-in-law is not sure. We are not good to ask Cici directly, it should be the same factory with her. Just a while ago, Mom was still thinking about it. Once your problem is solved, it will be Cici's turn next. Xiaobei is now."
She remembered Zhang Liyun's tone at the time, raised her head and nodded Zhao Nan's chest with a smile: "Mom said that compared with your arduous task, both of them are drizzle. Why do you think you are so rejected?"
Zhao Nan grabbed her finger, put it to his mouth and kissed him, "Do you dislike it?"
"If I say disgust, what will happen to you?" Jiang Rui raised an eyebrow and looked at him with a smile.
"It's mine too." Zhao Nan muttered, tightening his arms, and lowered his head to kiss her lips.
"By the way, old Zhao—" The door of the room suddenly opened. When the visitor saw the scene in the room, he turned around neatly, and looked at the sky and the air. There is no silver in the place, three hundred taels, "Huh? How can I look at everything. Gone?"
The corner of Zhao Nan's mouth twitched, and he held Jiang Rui without letting go, "What's the matter?"
Zheng Bin glanced from the corner of his eye, and turned around without seeing the eye-catching picture.
The atmosphere in the room is a bit subtle, although Zhao Nan looks as usual, but Zheng Bin has known him for many years, and he can see that he is uncomfortable under his calm expression.
As for Jiang Rui, she leaned against Zhao Nan's chest, as if she was very shy, and did not raise her head.
Zheng Bin cleared his throat, "Then what, I just want to ask you, are my siblings here to accompany you tonight, or are you going back to the military area? If I go back, I will come again later and take her to go through the formalities."
"You and Old Zheng go back first?" Zhao Nan asked Jiang Rui in a low voice.
Jiang Rui shook his head and sat upright and looked at Zheng Bin: "I want to stay here tonight. If I have time later, can I trouble Brother Zheng to take me through the procedures?"
"There is no trouble not to be troublesome, don't be polite to me, younger brothers and sisters, you are always free."
"Thank you Zheng Brother, then." Jiang Rui smiled.
Zheng Bin nodded straight and looked at the two again, "Then I'm leaving, I really won't be back this time, you... what, you continue. But Lao Zhao, the doctor said, you can't bump your legs. Now, take a moment."
After speaking, he ignored the reaction of the two and left after closing the door.
Jiang Rui turned his head to look at Zhao Nan, and saw that his face was calm and his ears were red.
On the corridor, Zheng Bin hummed a song and left. When have you seen Lao Zhao shy? It's worth coming back today.
As soon as she left the hospital, she was stopped by someone who was wearing a yellow scarf in the ward just now.
"Comrade Chen Lingling, something?" Zheng Bin said with a smile on his face and asked.
Chen Lingling asked, "Commander Zheng, was the one who was Commander Zhao's lover just now?"
"Of course it's true, can this kind of thing be false? Old Zhao has already applied to join the army for his younger brothers and sisters."
"But, how long did Ying Chief Zhao know her?"
Zheng Bin said: "Fate hasn't been said for a long time. It just came. Look at Lao Zhao. He has been single for 28 years. How many people wanted to match him before, but none of them were successful. This time. When I came home, I met my younger siblings, and the two immediately saw each other and got married. This is fate."
"They only got along for a few days. Does she have a common language with Commander Zhao? Does she understand Commander Zhao's ideals and ambitions? Jiayi—"
"Lingling, don't say it." A girl walked over again and interrupted Chen Lin, "Commander Zheng, Arlin's nonsense, don't take it to heart."
"It's okay," Zheng Bin waved his hand and asked both of them, "Xiaolin Xiaochen, is this going back to the military area or where? If you go back, I'll take you a little bit."
"No, thank you, Chief Zheng, we still want to take a stroll." Lin Jiayi declined.
"Then you be careful." Zheng Bin nodded and separated from the two of them, muttering as they walked in the dark, "Yanfu is so incomprehensible like Lao Zhao, the girls I met are more beautiful than the other, God It's really not open."
Watching him leave, Chen Lingling pulled Lin Jiayi's sleeves, "Jiayi, why didn't you let me finish just now?"
"What's the use of saying it, it will only make people laugh." Lin Jiayi frowned slightly.
Chen Lingling was unwilling to say: "I really don't understand, what is so good about that girl from the countryside? Just a beautiful face, do these men only look at their faces? Jiayi, you like Ying Chang Zhao for so long. , Why did she take people away as soon as she appeared?"
Lin Jiayi looked melancholy: "How can it be considered a robbery? It wasn't mine originally. I like him because I am alone. Commander Zhao has never given me hope that I shouldn't have."
"Anyway, I'm just not worth it for you!" Chen Lingling stomped her foot, "Did you see the clothes she was wearing? The soil is dead, it really comes from the country!"
"Even if it's soil, it's still very beautiful. When you see her coming in, everyone's eyes are unconsciously focused on her, as if she is on a stage alone. She sees Commander Zhao's eyes so gentle, and she is Watching, how could anyone not be tempted?"
"Oh, why are you doing this!" Chen Lingling was about to annoy her, "Who is the one with you? Why do you keep complimenting your love rival?!"
Lin Jiayi smiled bitterly, "I don't even have the qualifications to be her love rival. She and Commander Zhao are indeed very good friends, Lingling, you should not tell others that I like Commander Zhao in the future. It will be misunderstood."
Chen Lingling was so angry that she waved her hand indiscriminately, "I know, I will not care anymore."
In the ward, Jiang Rui and Zhao Nan naturally did not continue.
It was not early, and the nurse brought dinner to Zhao Nan. Jiang Rui brought the money and food stamps himself, and after asking for directions, went to the hospital cafeteria to eat.
The day after coming back is getting dark. Zhao Nan currently only lives in his ward. Jiang Rui can stay in another bed tonight.
She sorted out the luggage she had brought with her, turned out the towel and tooth tub and other washing utensils, went to the water room to brush her teeth and wash her face, and brought a bottle of boiling water to Zhao Nan when she came back.
It's not that Zhao Nan's legs can't go to the ground, but he needs to use crutches, and he touches the ground with one foot, but this is enough for him. He stood alone and washed a little, and then went to the bathroom on the crutches.
Jiang Rui didn't offer to help him, nor was he weak enough to be helped.
When he returned to the room, she locked the door, closed the curtains, and pulled up the curtain between the two beds.
Zhao Nan wondered: "Asleep so early?"
Jiang Rui poked his head out from behind the curtain, curled his eyes and smiled and said, "I want to take a bath. Uncle is not allowed to peek."
Zhao Nan snorted, his face started to get hot again.
The thin curtains can only cut off people's sight, and cannot block the sense of smell and hearing. Even because they can't see, only a small sound is amplified.
There was the sound of water being lifted up in his ears. Zhao Nan could even imagine how the water in the towel was squeezed out, how it dripped back into the basin, and how it splashed on the ground.
There was a brief silence after the sound of water.
No, it's not quiet, there are other sounds.
The towel saturated with moisture, rubbed on the smooth skin, made a very slight rustle.
The skin that was originally fair and delicate will definitely become more tender and smooth after being exposed to water. Every piece of epidermis is full of water, and every corner is stained with the fragrance of soap. The moisture and fragrance are mixed to form the faint warm fragrance he is familiar with.
With his throat rolling up and down unconsciously, and his mouth swallowing unconsciously, Zhao Nan tried his best to control himself, and the line of sight was unrestrained like a wild grass. He glanced at the curtain secretly, secretly, like a thief.
It stands to reason that he should not see anything, but he overlooked one thing-the light will reflect the shadow on the curtain.
There is a slender figure on the curtain, with long limbs, thin waist, exquisite undulations--
Zhao Nan looked away with difficulty, not daring to look again, his ears were full of drum-like heartbeats. He even wondered whether such a violent voice would be discovered by the person behind the curtain?
After Jiang Rui finished scrubbing and opened the curtain, he saw Zhao Nan sitting upright by the bed like a bronze statue.
"You haven't lie down yet? How about I wipe you too?"
"...No need." Zhao Nan's eyes followed her, watching her like a brisk little butterfly, walking back and forth in the room, the originally pale and depressive ward, after having her, became full of vitality and warmth.
Seeing her start to make up another bed, Zhao Nan said, "Sleep here at night."
"Huh? Do you want to sleep in a bed? But the bed is so narrow, will it touch your legs?"
"No, you sleep on the right." He hurt his left leg.
"Then let me smell it first." Jiang Rui suddenly approached him and sniffed on his neck.
Zhao Nan froze, his throat rolled violently.
Jiang Rui saw it in his eyes and chuckled lightly: "It's okay to sleep together, but I wash it so fragrantly. You smell of sweat on your body, and you have to take a shower."
In Zhao Nan's heart, heaven and human beings are fighting. It's not that he doesn't like cleaning, but in this situation, it must be difficult for him to take a bath by himself. Jiang Rui has to help him. But he was not sure at all. Can she control her body's reaction when she wipes herself a bath? If she sees something that she shouldn't look at, where should he put his face?
But he was very reluctant to ask him to give up the opportunity to share the bed with him, and to give up the warm and soft body.
After a while, Zhao Nan nodded.
Jiang Rui went to get another bottle of boiling water. The hot water poured into the basin. She raised her hand to take off Zhao Nan's clothes.
"I'm coming." Zhao Nan quickly blocked her hand.
"Then you come by yourself." Jiang Rui sat on the edge of the bed, holding his chin, waiting calmly for him to take off.
Under such gaze, the original simple has become a difficult task. Zhao Nan saw the smile in Jiang Rui's eyes and knew that she did this on purpose, but he was helpless in his heart, only indulging.
Slowly took off the sweater, and there was a shirt in it. He felt as if every time he unbuttoned a button, Jiang Rui's eyes brightened. The appearance of staring straight at him was like a hooligan who was eager to try and was ready to molest the Liang family's women.
Zhao Nan shook his head inwardly, and finished taking off the last coat. The next one was not ready to take off.
Jiang Rui looked at his upper body carefully, and bulged his dissatisfaction: "I am thinner than when I was at home, and there are many small wounds."
Those were all traces from the most recent mission. Zhao Nan was getting used to it, and he still wanted to calm her: "I will recover soon."
"I hope so." Jiang Rui wrung out the towel, put a little soap on it, and wiped it down from his neck little by little.
The upper body was wiped quickly, and she pulled Zhao Nan's pants very naturally.
Zhao Nan hurriedly took care of it, and squatted: "No washing below."
"How can you not need to wash it?" Jiang Rui glanced at him, as if thinking of something, and suddenly smirked: "It's just rubbing your body, are you thinking of going to some strange place? Or is there something strange to hide? Don't let me find out?"
Zhao Nan's face flushed, his eyes wandering, compulsively calming: "Where is there anything strange? Don't think too much."
"I didn't think too much, so don't think too much." Jiang Rui smiled covering his mouth.
One of them wanted to take off each other's pants, and the other protected him from taking off. After a stalemate for a while, Jiang Rui took a step back: "Let's do it, I'll twist the towel for you, go out first, can you do it yourself?"
Zhao Nan nodded immediately and agreed that even if he had some difficulties in washing himself, he had to overcome difficulties and overcome them.
In short, he can't let his little wife wash him strange things.
When both of them finished washing, it was already dark. Jiang Rui put the changed clothes in the washbasin and stuffed it under the bed, planning to wash it again tomorrow morning.
The lights were turned off and the two lay down on the bed.
After being separated for a long time and finally being reunited, there should be a lot of small things to say. Jiang Rui also wanted to speak with him, but there is one fact that cannot be ignored.
"Uncle." She suddenly yelled sweetly.
Zhao Nan's nerves were immediately tense, and whenever his wife called him this way, he had a bad premonition.
Sure enough, I heard Jiang Rui say innocently: "Uncle seems to have something strange on me, do you know what it is?"
There was a moment of silence in the ward, and Zhao Nan coughed abruptly.
The author has something to say:
Jiang Rui: Uncle, why is the color of this chapter a bit yellow?
Zhao Nan:...
