Zhou Lanxiang wanted to stand up and hand over her clothes, but Zhao Jianguo jumped up and retreated a few steps, making sure that she couldn't catch up before she stopped, "You put it on and it's cool at night, you put it on first." ”

Then quickly explained, maybe he was too anxious, a person who is usually so steady, and his words were a little messy, "I don't mean anything else, I'm just afraid that you will freeze, you are dressing, didn't you call me Brother Zhao just now, that is, you didn't agree, for this sentence Brother Zhao, I should also take care of you, don't think about it." I won't take advantage of the danger of marrying you again, so put it on."

Zhou Lanxiang couldn't see the expression on his face, but she also understood his sincerity, so she didn't insist on handing it over anymore, and really put on the coat.

She looked at the dark night sky and the small city that was completely quiet, she was interrupted by Zhao Jianguo like this, and the discouragement and despair just now were actually dispersed, she was not good in the first place, she couldn't sit here willfully all night, then she would definitely get sick tomorrow.

Zhou Lanxiang stood up, "Brother Zhao, let's go back to the hospital, I have luggage over there, I can lay on the floor in the hospital corridor, you won't have a short time to come out, it's time to go back and have a look." ”

Zhao Jianguo was a little more popular than just now when he heard her speak, although he was rejected, he was still happy for her, and quickly shone the flashlight in the direction of the gate, waiting for her to come over and go out together.

At ten o'clock, the small county town had completely fallen asleep, there was no one on the street, the dark road was full of potholes, Zhao Jianguo's flashlight had been shining in front of Zhou Lanxiang's feet, but it still made her almost break her foot several times.

Zhao Jianguo didn't dare to reach out to help her, so he thought about it and stopped, "You stand here first and don't move." Then he shone his flashlight around and walked towards a willow tree.

When he came back, he held a finger-thick willow branch in his hand and handed one end to Zhou Lanxiang, "You take it, I'll lead you away." ”

Zhou Lanxiang looked at the willow branch for a moment, Zhao Jianguo's face was flushed, and just about to explain, Zhou Lanxiang had already gently held one end of the willow branch, "Thank you, Brother Zhao." ”

Zhao Jianguo's face heated up in the dark, and he walked in front of him holding the willow branch tightly, and the flashlight was still shining in front of Zhou Lanxiang, "You follow me, I'll tell you if there are pits." ”

The two of them walked silently through a dark side street, and finally walked on a street slightly worse than the main street in the county seat, in addition to the shops on the street, there was actually a place with lights on, and from a distance they saw a sign with red letters on a white background under a dim electric lamp: State-owned Xinmin Guest House.

Zhao Jianguo's footsteps were a little hesitant, but after thinking about it, he still stopped, "Xiaoxiang, why don't you go to the guest house." If you have a bed and a quilt, you can get a good night's sleep, and you can also have hot water. It's too windy to walk through the hallway back to the hospital, and it's cold on the floor, so you may not be able to stand it now. ”

Dr. Zhang told him in detail about her visit, and he also knew that she was so sick that she called the doctor in the middle of the night last night, and her current body could not stand the environment of the hospital.

Zhou Lanxiang also knew that he was telling the truth, so after thinking about it, she nodded and agreed, "Thank you, Brother Zhao." I'll go in by myself, you go back, I can take care of myself. ”

Zhao Jianguo wanted to say something, but he hesitated for a moment but didn't say anything. It's really not good for the two of them to walk into the guest house together, "Go ahead, I'll watch you here, and I'll take you back to the hospital if there's no room." ”

Zhou Lanxiang nodded, handed him the coat she was wearing, "I'll come out and tell you when I book a room." After walking two steps, he turned around and said to him solemnly, "Brother Zhao, thank you very much, you are a good person, and you will be a husband and wife and a beautiful child in the future." ”

Zhao Jianguo didn't say anything this time, just looked at her silently and motioned for her to hurry in.

After the initial setback, he knew he was too anxious. She hadn't recovered from the blow yet, and he was forcing her to make a decision right away. After a long time, she will understand her sincerity, and she will know that no one is more suitable for her than him.

Watching Zhou Lanxiang's slender figure walk into the door of the guest house, Zhao Jianguo still stood straight, but his eyes were deep in the dark night of this night. The initial impulse had passed, and he had now thought very clearly, he felt sorry for her for having such a disease, but he also had to thank her for having this disease.

If it weren't for this disease, he really wouldn't have had a chance. He didn't dare to mention to her that he liked her again, after several times of trouble between his mother and his sisters, not to mention that she would definitely not agree, he himself felt that he was not qualified and had no face to tell her.

But this illness gave him a chance, and he knew that as long as he persevered, he would be able to marry her back one day

No one is more suitable than him, not even Han Jin

He has led the army for so many years, although he is not so delicate emotionally, but after being completely rejected by Xiao Xiang, he can understand if he thinks about it carefully, Han Jin likes Xiao Xiang and wants to marry her like him.

And in addition to his identity as an officer, there is nothing that can compare with Han Jin, and even in Xiaoxiang, he has no advantage in his identity, not to mention that there is a family member who is holding him back.

And now Han Jin's advantage has become a disadvantage, Xiaoxiang will not marry him, not to say whether she is willing or not, just talk about her illness, she will definitely not marry.

So now his chance has come

Zhao Jianguo stood on the street opposite the guest house and waited for more than ten minutes, Zhou Lanxiang opened the door and came out, stood at the door and beckoned to him, and then went in.

There was a vacant room inside and she had already moved in.

Zhao Jianguo didn't leave immediately, and waited for more than ten minutes before walking in.

He was dressed in a straight military uniform, and after entering, a middle-aged eldest sister at the registration office of the guest house swept away the fatigue and impatience of staying up late on her face, and immediately raised her head to greet him warmly, "The People's Liberation Army has noticed, do you want accommodation?"

Zhao Jianguo took out his military ID card and showed it to her, "My cousin just moved in, her name is Zhou Lanxiang, she took care of my mother in the hospital and didn't eat for a day, I was afraid that she would be hungry, and I wanted to buy her something to eat, but there was nothing at night, can you help me think of a way"

The middle-aged eldest sister became more enthusiastic after reading Zhao Jianguo's military ID, and immediately enthusiastically tried to find a way for him, "I definitely can't buy food now, do you think this will work, I have a stove, you can boil water and cook some noodles, two taels is enough."

Zhao Jianguo immediately took out the military food stamps and oil stamps that were exchanged nationwide, and the two chapters of industrial coupons and a military soap stamp that he brought out were also stuffed into the eldest sister, and gave her five cents, "Eldest sister, you can beat two more eggs, you also looked at it, her face was not good, I was really afraid that I would be tired of her, and I would not be able to explain to my mother when the time came."

Zhou Lanxiang just washed her face and soaked her feet with the warm water in the guest house thermos, and the eldest sister at the registration office came in with a big bowl, "Comrade Xiao Zhou, your cousin is really a good person, eat it while it's hot, hurry up and rest after eating, your cousin is gone, and said that you will go to the hospital tomorrow morning to find her, and he will send you home."
