Chapter 319 The Clean Freak, Old Master Miao
Two middle-aged men standing.
One of them was a stranger; it was Commander Tan, who appeared in the hospital ward after Commander Lu's surgery.
The two exchanged a glance, nodded, opened the slightly ajar door, and left the room.
If Chief Lu weren't here, he would have seen that this subordinate, whom he thought was quite good, was not displaying his usual arrogance and imposing manner.
Instead, they became somewhat frightened and uneasy.
He has lost his former tough guy image.
After the two men left, the man in the seat lit a cigarette and took a thoughtful puff.
After the cigarette burned out, the man stood up from his seat and went straight downstairs.
The door to a room was opened.
The room was arranged extremely neatly, almost excessively so.
The moment the door was opened, a strong smell of disinfectant filled the air.
The room contained only a wardrobe, a single bed, and a table.
There was a quilt folded into a neat square on the bed, placed on the pillow.
There was only a desk lamp and a fountain pen on the table.
There was nothing else in the room except... an old man with white hair by the window and a wheelchair sitting beneath him.
Wheelchairs from this era look somewhat rudimentary, with extremely simple designs.
However, it is also something that is very difficult to obtain, which shows that this old man's status is not ordinary.
"Mr. Miao, I've already made the arrangements." The middle-aged man stood at the door, one hand on the doorknob, and spoke to the old man by the window.
He looked very respectful.
"Next time, don't come into my room after you've finished smoking," Grandpa Miao said without even turning his head, his eyes still fixed on the window.
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man immediately stood up straight, seemingly somewhat nervous.
Like a child who has done something wrong, he said, "I'm sorry, I'll be more careful next time."
As he spoke, he was about to close the door.
"Have someone come and clean the room again," Grandpa Miao said calmly before closing the door.
"Yes!" The middle-aged man tensed up, answered, then closed the door, let out a long breath, and turned to call someone to clean the room.
Grandpa Miao sat in his wheelchair, gazing at the newly sprouting branches and leaves on the tree outside the window, murmuring to himself.
"The old man has gotten help from someone else. Interesting." The tone was extremely flat, without any hint of finding it particularly interesting.
On the other side, Zhou Qishan helped Gu Zhendong down from the passenger seat of the truck.
Then Gu's mother, Gu Ningning, got out of the car, and Zhao Tian, carrying the sleeping Yangyang, also got out of the car.
Yangyang also felt very uncomfortable throughout the journey.
Cars were very rare at that time, and their construction was not as comfortable as it is in later times.
The road surface was not as smooth as it would be in later times, so everyone traveled this way, enduring bumps and jolting.
If the two old gentlemen hadn't been in good health, they probably would have been shaken to pieces.
After Gu Ningning came down, she ran around and looked around like a happy rabbit.
"Mother, you can stay in the main room in the middle. Gu Nan and I will stay on the left, and my elder brother and sister-in-law will stay on the right." Su Niannian took Gu's mother's hand and walked to the middle of the courtyard, pointing to the rooms and saying to her mother.
After looking around, Gu's mother felt it would be better to leave the large room to Gu Nan and Su Niannian.
There are only three rooms here, unlike my home in Kaoshan Village, which has a main room, like a living room.
After entering the courtyard gate, directly opposite are three neat, square tiled houses.
"The main room will be left for you and Gu Nan. Mother and Ningning will stay in the room on the left." Of course, Gu's mother refused to stay in the largest room.
They wanted to leave the large room to Gu Nan and his wife.
After all, the fact that they were able to travel from Kaoshan Village back to Beijing was entirely thanks to Gu Nan and the others; they probably wouldn't feel at ease even if they stayed in a large room.
Meanwhile, Gu Nan, Zhou Qishan, and Xiao Yang had already started unloading their luggage from the truck.
Gu Nan and Su Niannian's luggage was sent directly to the room on the left.
"Just listen to what Niannian says," Gu Nan said as he passed by his mother.
He carried his and Su Niannian's luggage directly into the room on the left.
Zhou Qishan and Xiao Yang also helped carry the luggage, and Gu's mother and Gu Ningning's belongings were moved to the main room in the middle.
Gu Zhendong and Zhao Tian's belongings were delivered to the room on the right.
Zhao Tian carried Yangyang and walked over to Gu Zhendong. "Yangyang is feeling carsick and uncomfortable. I'll take him to his room to rest for a bit."
"Come in and rest for a bit," Zhao Tian said to Gu Zhendong.
Gu Zhendong really wanted to help, but given his current situation...
"Big brother, listen to your sister-in-law, you should go in and rest first," Su Niannian said to Gu Zhendong.
In the past two days, Su Niannian has added some spiritual spring water to her elder brother's traditional Chinese medicine.
Now that we've left Kaoshan Village, let's hope that my brother's leg heals as quickly as possible.
Once my legs are strong enough to support my weight, I will be able to walk on my own with crutches without the help of others.
Su Niannian decided not to use the spiritual spring water on her elder brother anymore.
Just wait a month or two and let your brother's leg recover on its own.
Unlike Kaoshan Village, the use of the spiritual spring water here must be done with utmost caution.
Gu Zhendong knew that he couldn't be of much help at the moment, so he nodded.
After saying goodbye to the two elders, I went back to my room.
Gu Ningning followed them in, intending to help her older brother and sister-in-law make up the bed so that Yangyang and her older brother would have a place to rest.
"No need for you, you can hold Yangyang for me for a while," Zhao Tian said with a smile to Gu Ningning.
Gu Ningning took Yangyang and held him in her arms.
Yangyang was suffering from motion sickness, so Su Niannian needled two acupoints on him, and he was sleeping soundly at that moment.
Her little face was all rosy.
Gu Ningning held Yangyang in her arms, and Zhao Tian quickly opened the luggage and took out the mattress and sheets.
The size isn't quite right for this double wooden bed, but it'll do for now.
Once things stabilize, Zhao Tian can simply adjust the size of the mattress and sheets herself; it's not a big deal.
After the bed was made, Zhao Tian helped Gu Zhendong lie down on it.
Then he took Yangyang from Gu Ningning's arms.
"You should go and rest for a while. I'll go out and help pack some things," Zhao Tian said, stroking Gu Ningning's head after putting Yangyang on the bed.
Gu Ningning waved her hand, "I'm not tired at all. I'm so tired from sitting in the car, this is a good opportunity to move around." Gu Ningning said with a smile.
He even twisted his body as he spoke.
"You watch the child for a while. There's a water bottle here. Drink some water if you're thirsty. I'll tidy up a bit with Mom and the others and think about what to eat," Zhao Tian said to Gu Zhendong with a smile.
Gu Zhendong looked at the kettle Zhao Tian had placed by the bed and picked it up.
"Have some water before you go, you've really gone through a lot," Gu Zhendong said to Zhao Tian in a gentle voice.
