Chapter 108 If you stink, we'll stink together.
Gu Jun's forehead was bandaged. Fortunately, he dodged in time, and the falling stone only grazed his forehead. However, the rubble mercilessly crushed the young man who was originally trapped in the rubble and waiting for rescue. When he was pulled out, he was already a bloody mess and had no vital signs. Gu Jun felt as if a huge stone was blocking his chest.
He sat outside the tent, watching the busy people around him. He hadn't seen the man named Geng Feng since the last aftershock.
"Woof." A search and rescue dog lay down at Gu Jun's feet. It was a large dog with brownish-yellow fur all over its body, except for a black stripe on its back. It looked like a larger version of his dog, Ah Xi.
The search and rescue dogs were exhausted. Their paws were already bloody and mangled from digging through the rubble. Gu Jun patted one of their heads and gave it the leftover food.
Shu Yun's days were quickly filled with all sorts of work and miscellaneous tasks. Many soldiers were dispatched to the disaster relief efforts, and the daily casualty figures reported in the newspapers caused great anxiety among the military wives in the family compound.
To this end, the Publicity Department planned to hold a science popularization meeting to educate military spouses about the origins of earthquakes, earthquake early warning and forecasting, and earthquake avoidance and self-rescue and mutual rescue measures. The science popularization meeting was divided into two phases, and geological experts were specially invited to come. Shu Yun was in charge of overall planning and arrangements.
After several busy days, Shu Yun was exhausted, but she slept soundly that night. However, she was suddenly awakened by a rapid knocking on the door in the middle of the night. Feeling flustered, she quickly threw on a coat and rushed out. When she saw Kong Ping looking anxious, she felt a little relieved. "What is it?"
With a sob in her voice, Kong Ping pleaded, "Could you... could you go and check on my child? He cried so much last night, his body is burning hot, and he's got a rash. I don't know what to do, sob sob sob."
Kong Ping is now home alone with her child. Old Mrs. Jiang was sent back to her hometown last week, and her husband was also called to the disaster area to participate in the rescue efforts.
Shu Yun pursed her lips. "Don't panic, I'll go take a look."
Although she had a cold relationship with the Jiang family and even less of a connection with Kong Ping, when it came to matters of life and death, Shu Yun put aside her personal grudges and said, "Let's go take a look first."
"What's wrong?" Tian Xiufen wasn't asleep either; she came out when she heard the noise.
Several women arrived at the Kong family's house. The child had developed a high fever and was crying so hard that his little face was red and he looked like he was about to pass out. Kong Ping held the child and cried with heartache, which made Tian Xiufen feel irritated. "Stop crying, let me take a look at the child."
Shu Yun also came over and asked, "Did you feed the child anything for dinner?"
Kong Ping hiccuped as she recalled, "I only fed her some carrot puree and a bowl of rice porridge with some chopped egg yolk in it."
Having given birth herself, Tian Xiufen immediately asked, "Have you eaten these things before?"
Kong Ping nodded, "He ate everything." Then she shook her head, "No, this is the first time I've given him the egg yolk." The little guy was really craving it, and Kong Ping, being a doting father, fed him some.
Tian Xiufen frowned, and Shu Yun asked, "What did you see, sister-in-law?"
Tian Xiufen guessed, "I suspect it might be an egg allergy. Children are weak and have low immunity, so they are prone to egg allergies. Let's take him to the hospital."
Kong Ping didn't pay much attention. Upon hearing this, she picked up her child and followed the two outside. The sentry on guard heard the commotion, drove them to the hospital.
Shu Yun and Tian Xiufen were busy all night and couldn't get up the next day, so they rested at home for a day.
Dark days always pass. When Gu Jun led his troops back, he glanced back and, by sheer coincidence, met a pair of bright, piercing eyes. The latter grinned at him with his white teeth, and Gu Jun unconsciously smiled back. He turned around and headed home to greet the rising sun!
After the troops received the notice to return, many military wives gathered at the gate of the barracks that day, waiting for their loved ones to return. Shu Yun also planned to get up early, but perhaps because the date was approaching, her emotions were fluctuating more and more. She tossed and turned in bed late at night, unable to sleep. Shu Yun got up and, with her hair disheveled, threw a hard punch at Gu Jun's pillow. "It's all your fault!"
Pillow: ...Who did I offend?
Shu Yun, her eyes still sore, didn't fall asleep until late into the night. As expected, she woke up late the next day. When Tian Xiufen called her from outside the door, she didn't hear her at all. She turned over, pressed her face against Gu Jun's pillow, rubbed against it, and slept soundly.
Tian Xiufen assumed that the people had already left, so she also left.
She slept soundly until the cheerful barking of dogs in the yard finally woke her up. She sat up abruptly and asked, "What time is it?"
"It's not too late, it's 9 o'clock." A deep male voice sounded in the room. Shu Yun stopped abruptly and looked at the person who came in. "You, you're back." She hadn't gone to greet him yet.
Gu Jun: "Yeah, just got back." Their car stopped at the camp gate. When he got out, many officers were already talking to their wives. He searched the crowd again and again, but couldn't see any familiar faces. After everyone had left, he was the only one left, and he still couldn't see his wife!
Gu Jun's face darkened. He had thought Shu Yun would be waiting for him at the door, and he was even preparing to give her a loving hug, but now he hadn't seen a single person.
The sentry standing nearby scratched his buzz cut awkwardly and tentatively suggested, "Commander Gu, why don't you go home and check on your wife? Maybe something's holding her up."
Gu Jun could only go home first, but when he arrived at the door, he wasn't greeted by his wife, but by a cheerful little dog. Gu Jun's heart sank to the ground.
However, when he entered the bedroom and saw Shu Yun sleeping soundly against his pillow, his unhappiness completely disappeared. He felt even more heartbroken when he saw the faint dark circles under Shu Yun's eyes.
Shu Yun stared wide-eyed at the newcomer, her eyes red-rimmed. Gu Jun smiled and reached out, saying, "Long time no see, won't you give me a hug?"
Shu Yun rushed into Gu Jun's arms like a small cannonball. Gu Jun put his arm around her waist and said softly, "Xiao Yun, I'm back."
Shu Yun's voice was muffled, "You're finally back."
Gu Jun was about to speak, but the next second Shu Yun pushed him away. She took a few steps back, pinched her nose, and said, "What's that smell on you? You stink."
Gu Jun's face darkened, and only then did Shu Yun notice that her once handsome military officer husband had become a burly man with a full beard after not seeing him for a long time!
Perhaps Shu Yun's expression was too obvious, Gu Jun felt like he was having a heart attack. You heartless bastard!
Gu Jun snorted, and under Shu Yun's wary gaze, he strode forward, ignoring her protests, and pulled her back into his arms. He mischievously rubbed his beard against Shu Yun's face several times, then gave her a light kiss, "Hmm, you stink too, let's stink together!"
Shu Yun pushed him away with all her might. Her pajamas had just been washed yesterday and smelled wonderful after being dried in the sun, but Gu Jun had dirtied them all. And after hearing Gu Jun's words, she was so angry that she almost fainted.
