Chapter 129：

This cold came fiercely, accompanied by a sore throat and fever.

She was caught up with a cold, and she hadn’t been sick for a long time. She suddenly fell ill and couldn’t bear it.

Gu Yao helped prescribe the medicine from the health center and took it for two days. However, this condition can not be suppressed casually. After all, the condition is fierce, and the body has its own healing system. It is impossible to take the medicine directly. .

The third day of illness was Qin Lingling’s most uncomfortable day, because all the symptoms were full at this time, which made her have a cold and sore throat to the extreme. She lay on the bed, repeatedly fever and wilting. Yes, he can't lift anything.

Gu Yao had never encountered such a thing before, and she was anxious and afraid, staying beside Qin Lingling every day, but Qin Lingling was helpless and funny.

She could only ask Gu Yao to do what she said, rub her hands and feet repeatedly with warm water, to dissipate the heat that came up.

Just having a fever, Qin Lingling had repeated it three times in one afternoon.

The four of the Gu family next door were also worried. Aunt Li went out early in the afternoon and cut off the fake bitter gourd medicinal herbs that people in the village said, and asked Gu Yao to cook an underwater fire for Qin Lingling.

Gu Yao didn't understand this, and asked Li Dani repeatedly, "Aunt Dani, can this work?"

"Why can't it? This fake bitter gourd will go hot, if you don't believe me, then forget it."

Just as Li Dani was about to leave, Gu Yao hurriedly shouted, "Hey, don't go, I don't believe you, I just don't know the effect."

Qin Lingling lay on the bed, listening to the two people outside, and hurriedly called Gu Yao, "Just listen to Aunt Dani."

After the heat on her body dissipated, the temperature was not so high, and Qin Lingling felt much better.

Li Dani meant that the fake bitter gourd seedlings were boiled in water to dissipate heat. When the time comes, take a bath and then go into the quilt to cover it well, and the fever will be fine.

Compared with a cold and a sore throat, fever is the most deadly, because the skin all over the body seems to be attacked by the pain, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

Qin Lingling couldn't hear what the two people said outside. She closed her eyes, trying to make herself feel better.

There was a fire burning in her throat, her nose was not smooth, and her skin was prickling and painful. For the first time, Qin Lingling felt that illness was so uncomfortable.

She thought of Gu Zheng, but she didn't know where Gu Zheng was now, or if she missed herself.

She thought, if Gu Zheng was at home, it would be great that she could act like a baby in Gu Zheng's arms, cry, and show all the fragility in front of him.

But now that he is not there, she can’t cry, can’t feel uncomfortable, and can’t make Gu Yao worry. Gu Yao was originally a child who hadn’t grown up. She was already very upset when she was ill. If she showed uncomfortable and low emotions, she would be afraid of Gu Yao. Worry.

Of course, Gu Yao also said that if she feels uncomfortable, just say it. You don't need to hold back. Everyone is sick, but at that time she only smiled at Gu Yao and said, "I'm fine."

The physical discomfort, as well as the longing for the lover in the distance, made Qin Lingling's emotions even more dripping. She suddenly understood why others would say that being a military sister-in-law is hard, because when you are sick, the other party may be performing tasks and does not have much time to accompany you.

This is the case for a little sick, but what about other things, will it be without his company?

Qin Lingling thought more and more, and when she was sick, she became quite fragile, thinking things in a bad direction instead of thinking in a good direction as strong as usual.

She had a dream, dreaming of things far away, and it was very chaotic. For a while, she was at work, and finally she was tired and unable to move. Then she dreamed of Gu Zheng's death in disaster relief, and then there were so many weird things that she couldn’t even remember. I only know that it is absurd and ridiculous and not good.

She felt that these things were happening in reality. She was not dreaming, but experiencing, that kind of unspeakable sadness came out of her heart, and the whole day turned into endless blackness.

When she thought it would be so dark forever, a light suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, and a person walked by that light.

When people approached, she found that the other person was actually the same as Gu Zheng's.

"Gu Zheng..." She yelled softly, because of the fire in her throat, she only made a hoarse voice, accompanied by a pain in her throat.

"I'm here." A hand suddenly shook up, wrapping her hand tightly.

Qin Lingling felt the temperature coming from the palm of his hand, she was not hot at the moment, but the hot hands holding her made her feel very comfortable.

She saw Gu Zheng smile at herself, her smile was like a spring breeze, very comfortable.

She laughed, "Gu Zheng...you are back..."

"Well, I'm back."

"Brother, is my sister-in-law feeling uncomfortable again?" The person who had cooked hot water came in from outside, just in time to see his brother holding his sister-in-law and putting one hand gently on her forehead, and then said: "It's okay, the forehead is not It's hot."

Gu Yao nodded, "Brother, I'll go out and scoop up the boiled water first, let it cool, and wait for my sister-in-law to take a bath."

"okay."

Qin Lingling heard the strange pair of Peanuts, she tried to open her eyes, but her eyelids were heavy and hard to lift.

When the people in the house went out, Gu Zheng looked at the person on the bed and wiped her palms, forehead and other places with warm water.

He told Gu Yao just now that there was nothing wrong, it was not true. On the contrary, his forehead became hot again.

He didn't expect that he finally had the opportunity to go home, thinking that the volunteers had been filled out, and it would take a long time for the admission notice to be sent. This year, Qin Lingling could still accompany him to celebrate the New Year in the army.

But I didn't expect that when I just got home, my daughter-in-law didn't see it, and was told by my sister that Lingling was ill. The disease was fierce. Although it was not fatal, it was also uncomfortable.

In Gu Zheng's memory, Lin Su didn't seem to have had any sickness. Those who sprained his feet were not considered sick. This was the first time.

He hurried into the room and saw someone who was not sleeping well on the bed. He felt distressed and helpless.

Touched her forehead, it was a bit hot, but she couldn't get a drop of sweat all over her body.

He could only get warm water and carefully wipe her hands and feet face to help dissipate heat.

At the beginning, Lin Su felt comfortable all over, but afterwards he also sweated. This fever is considered to have subsided.

But when he went out and refilled a pot of hot water in, Qin Lingling in the room kept mumbling to herself.

When he got closer, he heard the voice shouting, "Gu Zheng..."

The sound of Gu Zheng was like a tiny knife, which directly cut his heart open. He couldn't see blood, but it hurt terribly.

Gu Yao came in at that time, and she saw someone muttering to herself, saying, "Brother, my sister-in-law may have a nightmare again. Look at her first and guard her. My sister-in-law has not been able to sleep well in the past two days. Uncomfortable."

Gu Zheng nodded and agreed, but his heart was dripping blood.

Thinking of her screaming Gu Zheng in her sleep, she was very uncomfortable and uneasy, and her tone was still somewhat unspeakable fragility.

Gu Zheng only felt uncomfortable when she heard it, because she was not around, so she could only call his name in her sleep, hoping that he could be by her side.

"Lingling, I am...I am..."

With a soft call, the person in the nightmare finally felt better, his frowning brows loosened, but his hands were clenched, and his mouth muttered, "Gu Zheng, I miss you... "

"I miss you as well…"

Because one hand was held by Qin Lingling, Gu Zheng could only wipe her with the other hand.

The water is all warm. Once it gets cold, he will immediately fill in hot water to keep the temperature so that she won’t be cold. This is winter after all, so you can’t use cold water directly.

After the heat dissipated again, Lin Su also sweated finely.

When she woke up again, it was completely dark.

There was a figure next to him. Lin Su was shocked when he saw it at first, and yelled, "Who?"

The person woke up almost when she made her voice, and quickly responded, "Are you awake?"

Hearing a familiar voice and looking at the figure that was gradually familiar to her eyes, Qin Lingling was stunned for a moment, and the next second she hugged the person tightly, "Gu Zheng, you are back."

Qin Lingling's sudden hug made Gu Zheng's heart tremble.

A hand patted her back lightly, and Gu Zheng said, "I'm sorry, I'm not there, I'm making you suffer."

Qin Lingling shook her head quickly, "No, I'm fine, I'm fine."

Gu Zheng laughed at himself.

Qin Lingling might not know that she was dreaming just now, but he accompanied him all the time, knowing that she had been having nightmares in this short one or two hours, calling his name aggrievedly in the nightmare, as if waiting for his protection.

But for him, he couldn't protect her and made her suffer.

In the past, he always thought that he was good enough for her, and tried to provide her with the best living environment.

But thinking about it, she didn't seem to be able to provide a good life. She has been relying on herself all the time.

Holding people tightly with both hands, Gu Zheng has never felt sorry for her like he did today.

"Sorry, I'm not good..." Gu Zheng kept muttering.

Listening to his self-blame, Qin Lingling was also uncomfortable, "You did a good job, and you are not sorry for me."

"sorry."

It took a long time for the couple to stabilize their emotions. People outside did not dare to come in and disturb them. After Gu Zheng came out, they told him that the water of the fake bitter gourd had almost cooled off, and Qin Lingling could take a bath.

Gu Zheng nodded and said thank you to them, and only then took the people from the house to take a bath.

Qin Lingling took the bath water of fake bitter gourd for two consecutive days. She didn’t know if it was the fake bitter gourd or the body had begun to recover. The symptoms of this fever had improved a lot. Qin Lingling had only a low-grade fever in the past two days. Then there is a high fever that does not sweat.

Gu Zheng has also been back for two days, and has been working hard to take good care of Qin Lingling for these two days, basically taking care of her every step of the way.

This made Qin Lingling a little uncomfortable, and she couldn't help but ridicule him, "I'm not having a baby, so I can't go anywhere. You don't have to stare at me all day. You finally have a vacation. Don't stay in the house all the time. Now, go for a walk and see your friends and partners."

But Gu Zheng shook his head, "If you don't go, I will stay with you at home."

They spend too little time together, and finally have time, so they should accompany her more.

I have already reported with the head, you are cured, let's go back to the army together.

Qin Lingling was a little surprised, "Can you stay that long this time?"

Gu Zheng nodded, "Yes, I don't have much time to rest throughout the year. This time I stay together to accompany you."

Although they are very busy as soldiers, they still have their own vacations. As long as they are not due for important tasks and cannot be avoided, they still have vacations. Of course, for veterans like him, they will have more vacations. Most of the recruits entering the barracks do not have holidays. It is good to be able to go home once a year. Sometimes they may have to wait until the third year of the second year before they have a real family leave.

But he has been a soldier for more than ten years.

Speaking of major events in the army, Gu Zheng suddenly had something to tell her.

"You told me before that you want me to apply for transfer to the provincial capital. After I decide to go back, I will write a report and work hard to apply. No matter what kind of position, as long as you can go to the provincial capital, you can do it. If you can change jobs, I can also change jobs. After all, I have been in the army for more than ten years. It should be because I have to leave my position and move to another place in the past two years. , Take a demobilization fee and start over."

What Gu Zheng thought before was that he still has a talent. He should contribute to the frontline and maximize his abilities when the country does not need him anymore. He will retreat.

Besides, he has been in the army for many years. He is surrounded by his familiar comrades and leaders. He is familiar with every piece of land. As long as the country needs him, as long as the army needs him, he doesn't need to leave.

But that is also the previous idea.

Now he finds that it’s actually okay to change his position or place. Although the country needs him, his daughter-in-law needs him even more. He can’t abandon this uniform, but he can find a compromise. He takes better care of his country and family, so he thinks it is acceptable to transfer to other relevant positions.

Not to mention himself, in the next few years, I don't know how many **** soldiers will take off their military uniforms and leave their jobs to start businesses.

He will leave the team sooner or later, it is impossible to be on the front line all the time. In that case, there is no need to stick to the two years, as long as he has a clear conscience.

In the past, he was a lonely widow without a family, and it was fine no matter how he came. But now, he is a husband with a wife, and a father with children in the future. His wife has sacrificed too much for this family, and he will always sacrifice too.

Qin Lingling did not expect that Gu Zheng would say this, because although Gu Zheng had promised to try to apply for transfer to the provincial capital, his main occupation still matched his current job, and he did not say that he would transfer to a different occupation. It may even be a career change.

"Are you... thinking about it?" Qin Lingling looked at him in surprise and asked.

There was a hint of excitement in her eyes, but she felt that Gu Zheng loved his current career, but it was hard to say that she was too happy. She just asked: "Are you sure you want to do this? I can understand if you transfer to another place, but if It really makes you change jobs and arranges you to another position...can you accept it too?"

Gu Zheng nodded without hesitation, "Yes, there is nothing unacceptable. I am not the only one who can do this job, but many people can do it. I am in this position to protect my family and the country, and I want to protect you."

From the beginning, joining the army in his eyes was nothing more than escaping from the original living environment and wanting to create a better life for his sister's family.

Later, when Qin Lingling was added, he created a better life for them. He was patriotic and loved his family, but he didn't think he was such a great person. When he should give up and give up, he would still do it. This is not a deserter. , But other places, just continue to work hard.

Gu Zheng is willing to think so, and Qin Lingling is naturally happy. After all, Gu Zheng’s current job, every time she goes on a mission, she is frightened. Even if he does not say anything, there will always be injuries on the body. These are not training. It was done at the time, and it was more of the injuries suffered during the mission.

She hugged Gu Zheng and said in a more relaxed voice: "I'm very happy if you can think like this, but I still hope you can do what you like and feel right, and you can't give up your ideals because of me. "

Gu Zheng scratched her nose spoilingly and said with a smile: "My ideal is to protect you with a quilt for peace and happiness."

"Really?" Qin Lingling's eyes suddenly lit up, staring at him, trying to see something.

"Of course." Gu Zheng looked at the open space outside, and the warm sun above his head poured down. He said, "I am actually a selfish person. I just hope that everyone around me is fine."

"Um."

After the hardest days, Lin Su recovered very quickly in the next few days. Li Dani worked diligently to pull out a lot of herbs for her. Qin Lingling thanked her for bathing and boiling water for her. Obediently boiled and drank.

Not to mention, she was in good health very quickly, and after she recovered, Qin Lingling turned back to that alive and kicking person.

Qin Lingling recovered from the illness, and the family also breathed a sigh of relief.

During dinner in the evening, Gu Yao suddenly said to her brother, "Brother, Jiang Xiaoben came to the house two days ago, and he said, should we decide the marriage between our two families? He will go to Shenzhen in a few days. , Before we leave, we will settle the matter for the two of us."

Gu Yao's voice was very small, for fear that her brother would be angry.

Before, she said that she would get married a few years later, but after being with Jiang Xiaoben, she gradually felt that it was actually good to be with Jiang Xiaoben, and Jiang’s father and Jiang’s mother were also good to her. Misunderstanding, but after the resolution, Mother Jiang treated her very well and always asked Xiaoben Jiang to bring her food, even when she went to their house, Aunt Jiang was kind to her.

Before, Jiang Xiaoben told her that he was going to the Shenzhen market. Although the Jiang family didn't agree at first, they agreed to it in the end.

They felt that Jiang Xiaoben had left, and they were a little sorry for her, thinking about whether the two families should settle the marriage first, and when Jiang Xiaoben came back next year, they could get married.

Jiang’s family didn’t have much hope about Jiang Xiaoben’s trip to Shenzhen. They thought it was just a whim, and they couldn’t make a name for themselves. It’s just that the child is old, so he always has to try. Okay, just go home, try it, and take the whole family to live a better life, that's also pretty good.

Gu Yao thought that Jiang Xiaoben was about to leave, so she was naturally reluctant, so when Jiang Xiaoben told her these things, she didn't object.

After getting along with Jiang Xiaoben's object for more than half a year, she is not like she didn't understand anything at the beginning. On the contrary, she actually understands many things, but she doesn't want to understand it at a deeper level.

Qin Lingling heard the sound and looked up at Gu Zheng.

She knew what Jiang Xiaoben had said. Although Gu Yao didn't tell her because of her illness at the time, she could still guess something.

Seeing that the two were staring at people, Gu Zheng didn't know what to say?

He was full and put down the bowls and chopsticks before saying to Gu Yao, "Are you sure you really want to marry him?"

Gu Yao was taken aback for a moment, and finally nodded.

She usually blushes and can’t say anything when she encounters these problems, but now it’s different. She has learned to choose.

"How is he treating you?" Gu Zheng asked again.

Because he had seen how his sister died tragically, Gu Zheng kept a high level of caution in the face of her sister's marriage.

But because he was not often at home and didn't know much about the Jiang family, he could only know from inquiring that even Jiang Xiaoben had not seen him a few times.

Such a person who hasn't met so much, he can't be sure whether it's good or bad.

"Brother, when I was with Jiang Xiaoben, I was very happy, he was very kind to me, he missed me everything."

"What about his parents, what are they like to you?"

"Alright, this sister-in-law knows, you can ask her sister-in-law."

Gu Zheng set his eyes on Qin Lingling.

Qin Lingling replied, "Although I haven't seen much with Jiang Xiaoben, he still feels good to me, he is loyal and honest, treats people sincerely, and treats Yaoyao well."

This is the Jiang Xiaoben Qin Lingling feels from getting along.

Seeing that his wife gave Jiang Xiaoben such a high evaluation, Gu Zheng finally just said: "You don't need to worry about making a marriage. Let them come over these two days. The two families have a meal. Let's talk first. I and your sister-in-law. You can’t stay at home for too long. If you don’t get married so early, you don’t have to worry about making a marriage. As long as the two families are interested, and the time is up, you can get married directly."

Gu Yao humbly accepted her brother's pertinent evaluation, and then rode a bicycle to find Jiang Xiaoben in Jiangjia Village.

The author has something to say:

There are two more
