Chapter 112: Chapter 112 Heavenly Road
Weina sat next to Su ixi and leaned in, “That woman is trying to seduce your husband.”
Su ixi responded indifferently, “I noticed.”
On stage, Lingling said, “I wonder what talents Major Gu has, could you co up and show us?”
After her words, the others began to cheer in unison.
Gu Wei shook his head, “I don’t have any talents.”
“How about singing a song then?” Lingling asked with a smile.
...
“I don’t sing well,” Gu Wei replied.
“Don’t like singing, eh? How about you just co up here and stand, while I perform sothing?” Lingling suggested again.
The crowd cheered again, insisting on pushing Gu Wei to go up.
Being the highest-ranking officer present, it was harmless for him to interact a bit.
However, once he got on stage, Lingling announced she would perform a Kunqu opera.
It was mainly her show as she sang, using her long, flowing sleeves to flirt with Gu Wei.
Su ixi clenched her fists.
How dare she flirt with my man!
Seeing this, Weina suggested to Su ixi, “Why don’t you go up and sing a song?”
Su ixi balked, “I can’t sing.”
She was tone-deaf, what song could she sing?
“Weina said, “Then I’ll go!”
“…”
As soon as the words fell, Weina stood up and called out, “Host, don’t trouble Major Gu anymore. You just want soone to sing, right? I can do it.”
Weina then walked up.
Seeing Weina taking the stage, Gu Wei took the opportunity to return to his seat.
He had good eyesight and had been watching Su ixi the whole ti; if he had delayed any longer, he wouldn’t have been able to explain himself to his wife.
Lingling could no longer keep Gu Wei on stage.
She could only welco Weina, then asked, “And you are…?”
“Family,” Weina responded.
“Oh, what talents do you have?”
“Didn’t I just say? Singing, let’s go with ‘Heavenly Road’.”
“Wow, that song is hard to sing,” Lingling comnted.
“As long as I can make a sound, it’s fine.”
The sound engineer quickly adjusted the music for the song.
“Heavenly Road” is a song often used in military arts, and it was ready to use imdiately.
Soon after, Weina’s soaring soprano voice echoed in the auditorium; she could actually sing in a perfect soprano.
Those who knew her were very surprised, especially Bi Yuanhang, who was utterly gobsmacked.
…
Following that, Lingling couldn’t continue cueing Gu Wei.
After the event ended, since the journey was long, the military art troupe had to stay in the army barracks.
Gu Wei had already asked Xiao Ding to make arrangents, however, Lingling still approached him, “Major, can I add your WeChat? It would be convenient for future communications.”
Gu Wei replied, “But my wife doesn’t like adding random people on WeChat.”
“You have a wife?” Lingling suddenly felt dejected.
“Yes, she just left,” Gu Wei stated.
Lingling reluctantly persevered, having perford in many places, it was the first ti she had seen a young and handso Major like Gu Wei, she asked, “Actually, adding a WeChat isn’t a big deal, right? There might be more performances in the future. I’m the local publicity officer, I can frequently promote our Wu Bian Town troops too.”
“No need,” Gu Wei said with a smile.
He directed Da Liu to co and receive them, then he went to stand guard himself.
…
Before long, it was December.
The new hospital in Wu Bian Town was finally completed.
One outpatient building, one inpatient building; although they were not tall, the hospital boasted many recreational and fitness facilities, such as basketball courts, football fields, and even a small garden—its scale was even better than the county hospital.
Perhaps due to the nice environnt, a few doctors and nurses from outside soon arrived, totaling nearly ten staff mbers.
Su ixi and Bi Yuanhang also transferred to work at the new outpatient building.
Each ti Su ixi went to work, it all felt a bit surreal.
The hospital used the best building materials and had plenty of high-end dical equipnt, a stark contrast to the previous health clinic, seemingly spanning several societal levels.
Of course, as the hospital’s standards rose, locals ca to visit. Even if they were not ill, they were curious to see.
Thus, Su ixi and Bi Yuanhang took the opportunity to promote dical insurance, pasting many promotional posters and distributing brochures in various villages.
Not long later, Dr. Ma ca back with Aunt Ma.
Dr. Ma had heard about the new hospital being built while he was in Hu City, and to his surprise, by the ti he returned after a few months, it was already built.
He had a private consultation room with a computer and the pharmacy had a new doctor.
Dr. Ma was teary-eyed.
Ever since Su ixi arrived, his life seed to have taken an unexpected turn. The predictable days he saw stretching before him had suddenly seed filled with vitality.
…
Su ixi had not yet moved to the new dormitories, as they were newly built and she was concerned about formaldehyde levels being too high.
Bi Yuanhang had not moved either.
He was unwilling to leave Weina, preferring to stay here.
Another day off, Gu Wei wanted to take Su ixi to the county for so fun.
With the arrival of new doctors at the town hospital, days off could now be scheduled regularly, unlike before when they worked endlessly.
Thus, she went with Gu Wei to the county.
On the way there, she asked Gu Wei, “Why did you suddenly want to co to the county with ?”
She knew, having been here for a year, that she could count on one hand the tis they had been to the county.
Gu Wei smiled, “I wanted to have a date with you.”
“Really? So… what plans do you have?”
“You’ll see when we get there.”
“Alright, I’ll wait and see.” She wanted to know what kind of plans a straightforward man like him could have.
It took over three hours by car to reach the county; she felt dizzy from the drive.
After arriving, he first took her out for a al.
Although the county was small, it was still better than Wu Bian County, which only had two restaurants, and they could choose from Cantonese, Sichuan, and other cuisines.
Su ixi, used to the greasy, heavily spiced dishes of small diners, opted for Cantonese cuisine.
After eating, they wandered around the county, trying various snacks.
Both being attractive, they turned heads wherever they went, attracting a lot of attention.
Su ixi couldn’t stand the scrutiny and told Gu Wei, “It’s not easy going out with you, we attract too much attention.”
“Isn’t that because you’re too beautiful?”
“Bla ? When I go out alone, why doesn’t anyone look?”
“Who says they don’t? Every ti you step out, you run into trouble, I don’t feel safe letting you go alone.”
Su ixi replied, “I only attract troublemakers, but you attract everyone.”
Gu Wei wrapped his arms around her, “Since you don’t want people watching then we…”
He trailed off.
“What do we do?” she pressed.
After a while, he finally said, “I booked a room at the hotel.”
