Chapter 524 If You Don’t Use It, It Will Expire
Gu Jiandong returned to the army for two days and then returned to the Shenjiaba Brigade. Xiaoze had a lot of fun in the countryside.
He always cried and asked for his parents at night. Old man and old lady Shen were old and could not stand it at night, so Gu Jiandong came back and took his son back to the army.
The little guy was reluctant to leave his great-grandfather and great-grandmother. Gu Jiandong patted his son's butt.
"You don't sleep at night and you keep crying. Your great-grandfather and great-grandmother don't have enough energy to take care of you."
Old Man Shen and Old Lady Shen waved their hands, "It's okay, it's okay. We are old and can't sleep at night. Xiaoze is well behaved and doesn't make any noise."
Xiaoze also knew that it was wrong for him to cry at night, as it would disturb his great-grandfather and great-grandma's sleep. The little guy lowered his head in embarrassment and said, "Great-grandfather, great-grandma, I'm sorry."
"Oh, my dearest grandmother, no matter how sorry you say, just be good."
Gu Jiandong took Xiaoze back to the army. Jiang Ziqiang also wanted to take his son with him, but he was busy.
Training, missions... I can't always bring my son with me.
When he sent his son to a nursery, he was still a baby. The nursery teachers had to take care of so many children and there were always times when they were negligent.
It would be better to leave the child in the countryside and let my mother-in-law take care of him.
Jiang's mother wanted to take care of her grandson, but she was too busy and couldn't take leave.
She discussed with her son and daughter-in-law about stepping down to help raise her grandson, but her son and daughter-in-law disagreed, so Jiang's mother did not mention it.
Gu Jiandong took his son back to the army, and the next day he brought Xiaoze to see his mother.
Shen Shuyu had no classes in the morning, so the couple took their son for a walk around the school.
"Mom, when can you come home? Xiaoze misses you so much."
"Mom doesn't have classes in a few days, so she can go home and spend time with Xiaoze."
"I have to accompany Dad too. Dad misses Mom so much. I secretly took out Mom's photo to look at it."
Shen Shuyu looked at him with a bright smile, "Miss me?"
"Ah."
Gu Jiandong never showed his emotions outside, but when he saw the smiling faces of the mother and son, he smiled too.
When Gu Jiandong came, he bought a bag of apples and some snacks that Shen Shuyu liked, a big bag. It would take half a month to finish all these snacks.
Shen Shuyu had classes in the afternoon, so Gu Jiandong had lunch with her and then took his son back home.
It was the beginning of the school year and there were not many classes at school, only three or four classes a day. Shen Shuyu got along well with her roommates and would go out with them when she didn't have classes.
Shen Qiu would come to the dormitory to see her elder sister whenever she had time.
Originally, Shen Qiu planned to rent a house near the school and bring her mother and son over so that she could see her son every day.
After being in school for a while, Shen Qiu changed her mind. Her mother was unfamiliar with the place.
How lonely her mother must be, as she can only stay in the rented house every day to take care of her son and wait for her to come back from get out of class.
When her mother first lived in the army for a while, she wasn't used to it, let alone here.
Li Caixia was still waiting at home for her daughter to send a telegram asking her to take the child to school.
The telegram did arrive, but it did not ask her to take the children and leave. Instead, it said that there was no need to go there and Xiaoping should stay in the countryside.
"Xiangnan, what does Xiaoqiu mean? Didn't you say that I can take the kids to live there?"
Uncle Shen was smoking the cigarette his son-in-law bought for him at the door. The smoke blew out and surrounded him.
Uncle Shen said nothing. Li Caixia slapped him on the back of his head and said, "Why are you pretending to be so deep? I'm talking to you."
Uncle Shen: "..." What's wrong with him just pretending?
"What can it mean? My daughter feels sorry for you. You are not familiar with the place and you don't know anyone there. It would be boring to stay in the house all day taking care of the child."
Li Caixia thought about it and it made sense. It is said that a nest of gold or silver is not as good as one's own doghouse. No matter how good the outside world is, it is not as comfortable as staying at home.
"Brother Zhao Hu, come in and have a drink of water."
Shen Chunling's voice was heard outside the door, followed by her and Zhao Hu's figures.
Uncle Shen saw his second sister limping and ran over quickly, "Second sister, what's wrong with your foot?"
Li Caixia saw that her second aunt's ankle was bleeding, so she quickly helped her sit down. "Why is it bleeding again?"
Zhao Hu put down the firewood on his back and said, "Chun Ling went up the mountain to collect firewood and encountered a snake. She was frightened and fell into a deep pit."
Li Caixia then realized that in addition to the ankle injury, her second aunt also had many scratches on her body. "Second sister, I'll take you to the village doctor!"
There are many deep pits on the mountain, some of which were dug by hunters to catch game.
There are also traps buried inside. In order to prevent people from stepping on them, hunters will make marks so that everyone will know there is a deep pit and will take a detour.
There are some deep pits without traps, but I am too lazy to mark them. The deep pit where Shen Chunling fell did not have a trap.
Not only was there no trap, but there was also a thick layer of straw inside. When she fell in, there was a straw mat.
Apart from the scratches, I didn't break any bones. I was lucky.
"Caixia, you don't have to go to the village doctor. We have medicine at home. Just apply it and it will be fine.
I fell into a deep pit and couldn't get up. Fortunately, Brother Zhao Hu found me nearby, pulled me out, and helped me carry the firewood back."
Uncle Shen poured a bowl of sugar water for Zhao Hu, "Brother Zhao Hu, have lunch at home before going back."
Zhao Hu finished drinking the sugar water and washed the bowl. He carefully glanced at Shen Chunling's expression and nodded when he saw that she didn't object. "Okay."
He didn't want to have this meal, but wanted to stay at the Shen family with Shen Chunling for a while longer.
"Chun...Chun Ling, wait for me at home for a while. I have some medicine at home. I'll go back and get it for you."
Zhao Hu is a police officer. He is on duty to catch criminals, which inevitably involves close combat.
Injuries are inevitable, and the most common things in his house are various medicines.
He went home and brought back a few bottles of more effective wound medicine. "Chun Ling, this big bottle is for disinfection, and this small bottle is for wound medicine."
Shen Chunling had seen the bottles of medicine he took in the drugstore before. The cheapest one cost more than ten yuan.
"Brother Zhao Hu, thank you. You can take the medicine back. I have medicine in my room. Caixia went in and got it for me."
Hearing her say no, Zhao Hu didn't know what to do. He had just put down the medicine.
If he didn't pick it up, he was afraid that Shen Chunling would be angry, so he picked it up slowly, thought for a long time, and came up with a reason.
"This is the medicine the bureau gave me. I didn't spend my own money to buy it. If I don't use it, it will expire..."
After all, brother Zhao Hu often took him out to play when he was a child. Zhao Hu, who was so big, was nervous and at a loss in front of his second sister.
Uncle Shen couldn't bear to see it, so he took the medicine from his hand and put it in front of Shen Chunling.
"Second sister, it's shameful to waste it. I think this medicine is good. It might be effective. Brother Zhao Hu has brought it. You can try it."
Medicine is expensive, and if it really expires and cannot be used, Shen Chunling also thinks it is a waste, "Then I'll try it, thank you Brother Zhao Hu."
Zhao Hu scratched his head, "No...you're welcome."
