Chapter 170 What we miss
"Sister Linlin? Why are you back?"
After knowing Shao Lin for a long time, Xu Hui's name for Shao Lin also changed from Mrs. Gu to Sister Linlin. Today, Xu Hui, who just coaxed her baby to sleep, was planning to take the cooked chicken soup to the hospital at the base to see Wei Ran and Xu Rui, but she saw Shao Lin back as soon as she went out.
"Well, I plan to move back in the next few days. Don't you come back first to clean up? Just so happened that I brought a good thing from there to Xiaoxi."
As he said that, Shao Lin handed Xu Hui a small bottle of light green liquid spray in his hand and said, "This is the newly developed anti-worm water baby version of the base. The mutated mosquitoes this year are a bit ferocious. In addition, we also have many children in these bases. How fragile the children are. I guess the exchange will be launched tomorrow, so I will get a bottle from there in advance."
"Thank you, then." Xu Hui was not polite, took the spray and thanked the other party, and explained that she had to go to the hospital while Xiaoxi was taking a nap. Shao Lin didn't leave her and urged her to go quickly.
The hot hot soup at noon was not even used in the insulation box. Seeing Wei Ran sitting there with a silly smile and drinking the chicken soup, Xu Hui looked at the bandage on his leg and was dazed. After a while, he asked again: "By the way, Xu, is Teacher Xu okay? Are you still unconscious these two days?"
"No, I just woke up this morning, and I'm next door. Do you want to go and have a look?"
"Xiaoxi is still sleeping at home, I don't have time..."
"That's fine. You see, you brought two big bowls of chicken soup, but I can't drink it. Teacher Xu happened to wake up, so why don't I borrow the flowers to offer Buddha and turn around to give this to Teacher Xu?" Wei Ran said as she looked at the expression on Xu Hui's face quietly.
Every time she brought two meals and drinks every time she came here. Although she said that she couldn't come all the time because she wanted to take care of her baby, Wei Ran felt that she actually wanted to bring one for Teacher Xu, otherwise why would she ask if the other person was awake?
"Whatever you want, you give it to you, whoever you like."
"Hey, you can't say that. I'm not willing to give the soup you made. If Teacher Xu didn't do this, I might not be here... Besides, it's because of my Teacher Xu that I almost couldn't save me because of excessive blood loss."
Wei Ran tried hard to say that when Teacher Xu was buried, when his consciousness was almost blurred, he tried hard to get through it. He also said how Teacher Xu manipulated his metal power to lift the steel and concrete above them, and led him to escape. He was chased and killed in the middle and suffered many injuries.
Wei Ran was only concerned about his description and did not pay attention to Xu Hui's increasingly pale face. Before he could finish his words, Xu Hui suddenly stood up and picked up the soup on the table that had not moved. Wei Ran was stunned. Is his wife angry?
But the next second, Xu Hui's tone was a little unnatural and turned her back and said, "You are not convenient for your legs and feet, what soup should I give you? I'll go and deliver it."
"Oh, this is pretty good~" Wei Ran immediately smiled when she heard Xu Hui's words, smiling like a fool. Fortunately, Xu Hui did not look back and see him like this.
Xu Hui walked to the next ward with soup. Through the small window on the door, Xu Hui naturally saw Xu Rui sitting in the ward with a faint look on his face. He took a deep breath and then knocked on the door and walked in.
"Teacher Xu..."
"Ah, it's Xiao Wei's wife, is there anything wrong?" Xu Rui looked at Xu Hui and was a little surprised. He and Xu Hui had very little interaction. Although they both lived on the street, the other party did not like to eat barbecue so much. He rarely saw the other party walking on the street. He was a very... virtuous lady at home?
"Thank you for saving my husband last time. I heard that you were awake... I thought that I hadn't eaten for a long time, and the chicken soup and oil flowers I brought were also stripped away." As she said that, she set up the dining table in front of Xu Rui's bed, opened the chicken soup, and looked at him with anticipation.
I originally wanted to tell the other party that his student had just brought him fish soup not long ago and he was a little full and not hungry, but when he met the other party's eyes, Xu Rui didn't know why he was soft-hearted.
Maybe, the homonym of this little Mrs. Wei’s name is too similar to his daughter? Or maybe those eyes really look like Xiaohui?
"Thank you..." Xu Rui, who came back in a daze, carefully took the soup spoon handed to him and thanked him.
"Actually... when it comes to thanking me, it should be that we and my wife would thank you... If it weren't for your blood donation, I would have been very dangerous when I gave birth to Xixi. And if it weren't for you, I think my husband and I would probably be separated by yin and yang." Xu Hui, who had made countless mental preparations, had fantasized about what he would say when facing Xu Rui countless times, but in the end he was picking and picking and found that there seemed to be nothing else to say.
There seems to be not much to say about good or bad.
"What's the matter? You rely on your parents to go out for friends when you are alive. And everyone will help you when you meet this." Xu Rui smiled and seemed to be insignificant about these things, which fell into Xu Hui's ears, which made her originally calm mood stir again.
This person is always like this, he is kind-hearted... Can family members be the same as outsiders?
At that moment, she really wanted to roar and asked him loudly, what if his parents couldn't rely on him?!
But Xu Rui couldn't feel the other person's heart's ups and downs, so he just lowered his head and tasted the chicken soup seriously. In just a small mouthful, the familiar taste made him lose his mind.
"Mrs. Xiao Wei... May I ask you, how did you make this soup?"
"What's wrong with it?" When facing the other party's bright eyes, Xu Rui shook his mind for a moment, and avoided the other party's gaze as if he was escaping something. Xu Rui lowered his head, smiled a little reluctantly. After taking a deep breath, he carefully tasted the taste of chicken soup again, and sighed silently: "The taste of this chicken soup is really good, but it doesn't look like the taste you usually drink."
"After adding ginseng, the taste of ginseng is a bit heavy, and the taste of chicken soup is naturally different."
"Add ginseng?"
"Well, but after cooking the ginseng, I tasted badly when I was imported. Before the soup was completed, I drank the soup and was very good for people who often stayed up late and were in poor spirits."
Xu Hui learned chicken soup from his mother. At that time, he was under a lot of pressure from his studies, so his mother would often serve a bowl of soup after returning from evening study. But when she thought of her mother, the home where there was always only her and her mother, she had resentment towards Xu Rui that she had finally suppressed, but she didn't know why she wanted to rebound once.
"So... I only taste like this after adding ginseng." Xu Rui's melancholy tone gradually wet his eyes. After tasting a few more sips with a spoon, he couldn't help it and said, "My wife used to like to make this kind of chicken soup, but I knew to eat it at that time and didn't ask too much... Later, when I thought about her, I tried to cook it myself, but at that time I found that I couldn't cook the original taste..."
"Do you miss her?"
"Um."
“How much do you think?”
"I miss her...everything I say to me, good, bad, and scold me... I want to."
His wife has always been a hard-hearted person. Even if she feels sorry for her that she has been in boarding school and can't come back to work, she will still bring a pot of chicken soup to see her when she takes time during the holidays. Although the words she says are not nice, she will stare at herself and drink the chicken soup every time. Before leaving, she will remind him not to stay up late to prepare lessons and correct homework, which will hurt his health.
Their last call seemed to be a quarrel.
"I miss my mother too, nagging, complaining, and I want to say good or bad..." After a long time, Xu Hui also said this.
"Then your mom must be very good, so you will always miss her."
"Um."
For a moment, two people in the ward were sitting on the bed drinking chicken soup, and one on the stool beside the bed. The person sitting on the stool heard the person drinking chicken soup talking about his wife; the person drinking chicken soup listening to the person sitting on the bench missing his mother, and their memories floated to the past, the woman with some stinginess, a tough and soft temperament that could never come back again...
