The spring breeze is beautiful, bright and refreshing. When it was time for the nurses and doctors to have lunch, doctors in white nurses' uniforms and coats and coats came out one after another to eat together.

Ying Shuhe sat on a feldspar bench in the hospital's flower bed. The cleanliness, neatness and quietness peculiar to the church hospital, the flowers and plants are green and green, and the red is bright. He lit a match, and there was a slight breeze, and he used his hand to catch the lit fire, skillfully lit a cigarette, and threw the match to the ground. Smoke spewed out of his mouth, looked around, and flicked his soot to the ground.

Because it was the noon break, there were more people on the street, rickshaws and cars were shuttling on the road, and the people in the small restaurant opposite were also full of people, including employees who came out of the trading company in formal suits, and workers who hurriedly finished their meals with their sleeves rolled up.

After smoking a cigarette, he was going to go to a restaurant for a meal, but he stood up and walked two steps, and saw a person getting out of the black car, his hair combed back, his suit and leather shoes, and he was tall, and he immediately recognized it as Secretary Guan beside Tian Zhaonian. So they stopped him.

Secretary Guan heard someone calling him, following the reputation, he didn't recognize Ying Shuhe at first, and was thinking about it in place, Ying Shuhe had already said while walking in his direction: "Secretary Guan, long time no see." The last time we saw you was when you and Lao Tian came to the military academy, it was three years, right?"

Secretary Guan suddenly brightened up, and immediately smiled. He knew that no one in the world would dare to call the Overseer that, but the Overseer's brother for decades was him. Immediately come forward to say hello.

They exchanged a few pleasantries, and Ying Shuhe knew that he had come to visit the senior staff who had been injured in the assassination of the embassy last night. Ying Shuhe told him that a cousin in his hometown was seriously ill, so he sent him to Liujiang to see a doctor.

When they walked in the door, Secretary Guan stopped and said, "Colonel, I still have to visit Mr. Merry, and I am out of company first." The Overseer will come in the afternoon, and I'll tell him you're here too. ”

Ying Shuhe had no waves on the surface, and said calmly: "Then you go, I'll go have a meal." Tell him I'm waiting for him here. ”

Secretary Guan didn't hear anything in his words, and even if he heard anything, it wasn't something that he should pay attention to as a secretary, so he went upstairs to the VIP intensive care ward.

Just after the lunch break, Ying Shuhe ate wonton stew at a noodle restaurant, and at noon their small restaurant business was very good, and they sold out every time. Ying Shuhe finished eating this bowl of wonton stew, and there were not many people left in the store, and then the only customer except him also checked out and left. He remembered that there was a patient in the hospital who hadn't eaten, so he walked over to the counter and said to the proprietress who was busy at the back of the kitchen, "Pack me a bowl of wonton stew." ”

The proprietress wore a bib, and her cheeks flushed as she worked in the steaming kitchenette. Ying Shuhe slapped the money on the counter, and the proprietress took the money and went to the kitchen to check it, half-opened the curtain and said, "It just so happens that there is a bowl of celery and pork wonton stewed there." The water in the pot boiled, and the proprietress poured in the wontons to stew.

However, he said that the commissioner was in the special care unit, and his injuries were stable after the bullet was removed, and because he did not hit the critical part, he could be discharged from the hospital as long as he stayed in the hospital for a while.

The director of the hospital, knowing that he was not an ordinary patient, but a commissioner of the embassy, did not dare to slack off, and sent the best doctors and special nurses in the hospital to take care of him, and this floor was already guarded by soldiers in civilian clothes, and no one was allowed to enter without permission except for doctors and nurses.

When Secretary Guan came upstairs, he was stopped by plainclothes soldiers, who took out his identity documents from the inner pocket of his clothes and showed his intention before the soldiers let him into the ward.

Mr. Merry was lying in the hospital bed, and the nurse had just finished taking his temperature and packed his things and went out. Secretary Guan was holding a bouquet of flowers, and when he saw an empty vase by the window, he inserted it. After a few words of greeting with Mr. Merry, I heard that he had just finished the operation, and his breath was weak, so he was careful not to talk and quickly cut to the chase. Secretary Guan stood in front of the window, bowed deeply, and said sincerely: "I was really shocked to hear that the embassy was secretly attacked by lawbreakers last night, and I am very sad and angry to hear that Mr. Merry was injured. Liujiang is an important jurisdiction in the northern district, and Tian Inspector Jun has already sent people to find out the identities of those people this morning, and he must give Mr. Merry an explanation. After Secretary Guan finished speaking, he heard Mr. Merry's voice before raising his head.

He walked to the side of the bed, bent down and said to Merry, "Tian Dujun is running around for business in the morning, and he will come to visit Mr. Merry in person in the afternoon." And this. After speaking, he took out the condolences that Tian Zhaonian asked him to prepare, a small box, but it was very heavy, and said: "This is what the Overseer asked me to bring to you, please Mr. Merry accept it, and I hope you will be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible." ”

Secretary Guan followed Tian Zhaonian around the officialdom to deal with many big people, so this condolence scene was not insincere, and Mr. Merry said in broken Chinese: "Say thank you for me and Mi Sitian." ”

The two windows were closed, the sun was shining into the room, the room was dry, and the dust could be seen floating in the air. Ying Shuhe pushed the door in, his heart suddenly stretched, Chen Yeping leaned on the pillow, he didn't know what he was looking at, his face was weak and pale, and a golden light flashed in his decadent eyes.

Ying Shuhe walked to the head of the bed, put his things down, and saw that he was holding a gold pocket watch in his hand, the needle was moving, and on the cover was a shrunken photograph. Ying Shuhe took a closer look and asked him, "Your girlfriend?"

Chen Yeping has been wearing this pocket watch on his body, and when he was lying on the bed, he heard the slight sound of the pocket watch, so he stared at the second hand turning, and was distracted for a while, and didn't pay attention to the photo at all, he knew that Ying Shuhe was talking about Tang Qi standing next to him, with a few green faces, but only a few years later, Chen Yeping slowly denied it: "This is my sister." ”

Ying Shuhe didn't want to say, "You actually have a sister?"

Chen Yeping said casually: "It's not allowed?"

Ying Shuhe was suspicious: "As far as I know, don't you only have one brother?"

Chen Yeping had no intention or ability to deal with him, so he only said: "I treat her as a sister." ”

Ying Shuhe nodded in understanding and said to him, "Let's eat a little...... The celery-stuffed wonton stew is just like that. However, the doctor said that you can only eat liquid food at the moment, so just eat wonton stew. ”

The lid was lifted, and the aroma of the wonton stew suddenly wafted out. Ying Shuhe persuaded two words with good words, his temper was not good, and he tried his best to endure it, seeing that Chen Yeping looked at the pocket watch indifferently, he also lost his patience, and suddenly Chen Yeping said: "I want to eat beef noodles." ”

Ying Shuhe was speechless when he heard him say this, and seeing that he was depressed, he had to say: "There is no beef noodles, no noodles, only wonton stew, and the filling is not beef but pork." ”

Chen Yeping said: "I only eat the wonton stew that my mother gave me. ”

Ying Shuhe scooped a few spoonfuls of soup and didn't answer him, Chen Yeping continued to talk to him as if no one was talking to him, and said: "In the past, the noodles, wonton stews or steamed buns I ate were all rolled out by my mother herself, and the stuffing was also mixed by her, every year. The last bowl of noodles my mother made I ate was longevity noodles for my sixteenth birthday. My father and eldest brother pursued a new school, and my eldest brother came home early that day and ordered a big cake for me in a cake shop opened by a foreigner, and the cake was delicious, and the noodles made by my mother were also delicious. My fifth mother gave me a Swiss watch, and my eldest brother said that I would be a big child and would never ask for a gift again, but he gave me the gold ring he had worn since I was a child. My father handed me a translated foreign book...... I haven't turned a page of that book until now—"

He was still talking, and Ying Shuhe knew that he was homesick, so he sat quietly and listened to him finish speaking. In the end, he saw tears falling from the young man's red eyes, and he completely ignored it, still staring at the gold pocket watch.

Chen Yeping asked him, "Do you know whose pocket watch it is?" Ying Shuhe shook his head.

Chen Yeping said: "It's the girl in the photo, her name is Tang Qi." I haven't apologized to her yet, and I don't know how she's doing in France. ”

Ying Shuhe suddenly stood up and said in his usual tone: "Do you like to eat or not." Then he strode open and closed the door.

After a long time, Ying Shuhe listened to the movement in the room before walking away. The white sand curtains in the corridors of the hospital let in the sunlight, and there was no one in the corridors, so he could just catch his breath. At this moment, Secretary Guan didn't know where to come from, so he called him from behind.

Ying Shuhe turned his head, Secretary Guan smiled, put his hands in front of him, and his body was slightly bent. Ying Shuhe understood seven or eight points when he saw him like this, and sure enough, Secretary Guan spread out one hand, made a "please" gesture, and said, "Colonel, the overseers are waiting for you in the conference room on the fifth floor." ”
