The hospital was bustling with activity.
Some were crying, some were laughing, and some were frowning in distress.
Their eyes were listless, and their spirits were dispirited. The joys and sorrows of the human world.
Scenes were intertwined here.
When the Ai Cao brought Jiang Yuan to the ward, Gu Dong was already awake. He was still the same as when the Ai Cao left.
He lay under the blanket without moving and stared at the pale ceiling. No one knew what he was thinking.
When he heard the movement, he turned his head slightly to look at the Ai Cao. His eyes were smiling. Just as he was about to say something,
He saw Jiang Yuan, who was followed closely by the Ai Cao.
The smile on his face immediately disappeared.
Men were sensitive.
Gu Dong was about the same age as him.
The person who treated the mugwort with a smile.
He didn't have a good impression of him.
"When did you wake up? Are you okay? Do you need to get the doctor to come over and take a look?
Do you still want to drink water? Do you need to go to the toilet? "
When the Ai Cao saw Gu Dong, he could see that his mood was much better than when he was on the street.
Jiang Yuan, who was behind him.
He looked down at his eyes and heart.
He suddenly had a problem with the relationship between the two of them.
"I just woke up.
Where did you go? I didn't see you just now. "Gu Dong didn't even notice.
As soon as he opened his mouth, there was a hint of grievance in his tone.
A man's little grievance.
Especially when he was still lying on the bed, looking weak and frail. It was a stark contrast to his usual strong and strong health. Any woman who saw him would have a feeling that went straight to her heart. From the bottom of her heart, she felt that he needed to be cared for.
The Ai Cao's heart was melted by Gu Dong. He even lowered his voice and explained softly, "I just went out for a walk. Didn't the hospital not allow escorts at night? I went to find a place to stay. "
"Then did you find it?" After saying that, Gu Dong glanced at Jiang Yuan behind him. He felt that it was very likely that his wife was going to leave with this person tonight.
"Yes, I did. I've introduced you to someone." As he spoke, the Ai Cao shifted his body so that it was easier for Gu Dong to see Jiang Yuan. Then he said, "His name is Jiang Yuan. He said that there's a girl next door who's about the same age as me. I can live in her house."
On the way here, Ai Cao and Jiang Yuan had already exchanged some basic information with each other. It could be said that they understood each other a little.
"Hello, comrade. My name is Jiang Yuan. This is Comrade Ai Cao. I'm taking her to my neighbor's house. She's a girl and lives alone. Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Jiang Yuan still restrained the smile on his face when he was talking to another man. He looked a little serious, making himself look very formal and professional. He did not want Gu Dong to have any misunderstandings, and he did not want to lose the Ai Cao business.
"Where are you from? Which alley do you live in? Take my wife to see a house now. How long will it take you to come back? "Gu Dong asked a series of questions one after another.
He did not feel at ease letting Ai Cao go with a man alone or even stay in another house at night. But the reality was that they came in a hurry and did not have a recommendation letter. Ai Cao could not stay in the guesthouse, so he could only choose another place to live.
Gu Dong was very depressed. If it were not for his current situation, Ai Cao would not have to suffer with him. However, he did not show these thoughts on his face. He was afraid that it would affect Ai Cao.
"My house is at No. 17 Nan Er Hutong. My neighbor's surname is Zhuang. She's the only one in her house and she's still in high school. You can ask around there and you'll find out. I'll take this comrade there. We can walk back and forth in 20 minutes, but it might take a while to see a house. "
Along the way, Jiang Yuan had already judged Ai Cao. He felt that she had a good personality and was not a bad person. She was definitely not an evil person. He still had some trust in Ai Cao. As for Gu Dong, his first impression was that a man who cared about his woman could not be that bad.
"Okay. Let's go now while it's still early. If it doesn't work, we can come back and think of another way." Gu Dong looked at Ai Cao and said seriously.
"Do you want to go to the toilet first?" Ai Cao asked worriedly before they left. It was almost afternoon. This time, she was going to go out for at least half an hour. She felt that she should help Gu Dong solve his physiological problem first.
Gu Dong's face turned red when he heard Ai Cao's words. He did not feel it earlier, but after hearing what she said, he felt a little like peeing.
Seeing Gu Dong's intention, Ai Cao bent down to help Gu Dong. When Gu Dong stood up, he saw Jiang Yuan beside him and said, "Wait. Ai Cao, don't move first. Let Comrade Jiang come over and help me to the toilet."
The toilet in the county hospital was not as crowded as the toilet in the health center. There were many people here. It was not appropriate to let Ai Cao help him to the toilet.
When Jiang Yuan heard this, he immediately walked over. "Okay, I'll do it. Comrade Ai Cao, you can just wait here." He understood the situation quite well.
After making arrangements for Gu Dong, Ai Cao and Jiang Yuan walked out of the hospital to look at the houses.
During the ten-minute walk, Jiang Yuan gave Ai Cao a rough introduction of the other houses. "There are two other families living in the front yard. The Han Family in the east has four sons and two daughters. The Zhang Family in the west has five daughters and one son. Anyway, you just have to nod your head when you see them. If any of them find trouble with you, just call me."
Jiang Yuan was afraid that they would go crazy and provoke Ai Cao.
"Okay, I'll be careful." Ai Cao originally thought that she would be prepared after hearing about it in advance. She did not expect the reality to be quite unexpected.
The east and west alley was less than 100 meters long. There were five houses scattered in the north and south. Jiang Yuan's house was in the innermost area. Before they reached it, they could already hear the noise of children crying from the yard.
Jiang Yuan pushed the door open and Ai Cao followed her in. The yard was quite clean. There were four or five children playing in the yard. They ranged from seven to three years old. The two older children were fighting. The youngest child was sitting on the ground and playing with mud. There was also one who was crying at the top of his lungs.
The environment was a little noisy. Ai Cao frowned slightly. Jiang Yuan immediately said, "Don't mind it, don't mind it. You can stay in the back. It's quiet there." As she spoke, she led Ai Cao to the small door in the back yard.
When the noisy children saw that there was a stranger in the courtyard, they immediately stopped messing around. Their big and small eyes were all looking at Mugwort. Even those who were crying to their heart's content had their mouths wide open. Their nose was running, and their eyes were filled with tears as if they had pressed the pause button. They were all staring at Mugwort.
"What are you looking at? Go play by yourselves!" Jiang Yuan scolded them. Then, the things that were paused just now continued. Those who were crying cried, and those who were making noise.
After passing through the small door, the backyard was indeed much quieter. Not only was the backyard clean, but there was also a wintersweet planted there. There were also a few holly plants at the east and west walls.
It was obvious that the small courtyard had been taken good care of with care.
Jiang Yuan was a step faster than Ai Cao. He first walked to the door of the central room and reached out to touch it. Then, he said apologetically, "Zhuang Yan took it away. I'll take you to the kitchen first. It's almost time. She'll be back soon. It won't take long."
Actually, Jiang Yuan's house was just in front. However, he was embarrassed to bring Ai Cao into his house as a man and woman were alone.
The kitchen was on the east side of the yard. It was a small brick house with ten square meters. Although it was small, everything inside was very complete.
However, Mugwort and Mugwort were secretly observing. They probably didn't eat very well. Most of them were traces of wild vegetables and grains. Especially the pile of sweet potatoes next to the stove. They should be the staple food.
The small kitchen didn't take more than five minutes to finish looking around. Jiang Yuan was about to find something to talk about with Ai Cao when Zhuang Yan came back.
She was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl with long ponytails on her head. She was white and clean. She was taller than Ai Cao, about 1.67 meters. She looked very gentle and quiet.
"You're back. I have something to tell you." Jiang Yuan went up to Zhuang Yan and pulled her to the side. He softly told her that Ai Cao came to rent a house.
"Okay, I'll bring you in to have a look. You can live in my room. I clean it every day. It's very clean." Zhuang Yan said softly to Ai Cao with a smile on his face.
"Okay, let me see." Ai Cao's first impression was that this girl gave people a very comfortable feeling. He liked her very much.
Zhuang Yan brought Ai Cao into the house to have a look. Although the things inside were simple and old, they were all neatly organized and very clean.
In the end, Ai Cao decided to live here. However, he would live in the east bedroom. Ai Cao didn't have the nerve to live in a girl's boudoir and kicked him out.
Zhuang Yan's father used to live in this room. Ever since her father left, Zhuang Yan cleaned the room very well. When she heard that Ai Cao would live here, she immediately said that she would bring her favorite set of bedsheets and quilts for Ai Cao to change. She just washed them and guaranteed that they would be absolutely clean.
No one would dislike a polite and sensible girl. Ai Cao felt that this girl was okay. There shouldn't be a problem for her to live here.
After the house was confirmed, before they left, Ai Cao told Jiang Yuan that she was going back to the hospital. She asked him to pick her up at the intersection not far east of the hospital before the hospital closed at 10 pm.
He also asked her to bring the food she brought over to Zhuang Yan's house. In the future, she would cook Gu Dong at Zhuang Yan's house. Then, she would convert all the firewood, rice, oil, and salt into food and give it to Zhuang Yan.
Jiang Yuan couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes as he was about to see the food. He immediately agreed to pick her up at night. He even asked Ai Cao: "Where are your things? Do you want me to help you move them over?"
"No, no need. I don't have much. Let's move them together tonight." Ai Cao hurriedly waved his hand.
The food was still in Zhuangzi's house. Move it now? Where was he going to get it?
After the house was confirmed and the matter was settled, Ai Cao said goodbye to Jiang Yuan and Zhuang Yan in a good mood and walked towards the hospital. When he was about to reach the hospital, he found a place where there was no one and entered Zhuangzi.
