Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 735

Chapter 735: Chapter 610: Are You Sure You Don’t Need to Transfer Hospitals?

"Xiao Cheng, is this your relative?"

Cheng Ruzhu smiled and nodded, "My niece and her husband."

The elderly woman in the next bed looked at Zhou Jiao and her family and said, "Your niece is really quite pretty. And your niece’s husband looks spirited. Is he a soldier?"

Cheng Ruzhu didn’t intend to talk much with her. She smiled and then motioned for Zhou Jiao and Zhang Guoqing to step outside to talk. She was worried they might really miss the train if they delayed any longer.

Zhang Guoqing leaned down and said to Ping’an, "Stay here with your uncle, and don’t wander off."

Ping’an obediently nodded, "Dad, hurry up."

Zhang Guoqing patted his head and smiled at the wide-eyed Yu, "Get well first. Next time, wherever you want to go, your brother-in-law will definitely take you."

"Deal!"

Zhang Guoqing nodded with a warm smile. As the kid lay there, his face looked even paler. Poor kid, joy turned to sorrow.

At the end of the corridor, Zhou Jiao opened her backpack slightly, showing a corner for Cheng Ruzhu to see, and whispered, "There’s a box of imported penicillin in here, all labeled in a foreign language. You can ask the doctor if it’s useful. Don’t say it’s from me, I’m worried word might spread, and people will come knocking."

Cheng Ruzhu chuckled and nodded, "Okay. Give me a couple of vials to take back."

Zhou Jiao ignored her, taking off the backpack and placing it on her, "We’re family, no need to be so polite. Even if it’s not needed, keep it on hand. You can use it to do favors if you meet someone you like."

Cheng Ruzhu didn’t refuse further. She knew Zhou Jiao’s personality well; if she insisted, she’d become annoyed. However, she weighed it in her hand, something seemed off.

"Did you pack a lot of stuff in here? Take the medicine, and the rest is for Ping’an to eat."

Zhou Jiao held her hand, "Alright. It’s just a military satchel; how much can it hold?"

Cheng Ruzhu smiled and shook her head, "Alright, alright, I’ll take it all. There’s nothing more for you to do here, go home early. I won’t be seeing you off tonight."

"No need. At the right time, the driver will take us straight to the station. I’ve already told Auntie and my mom not to come with us."

"Be careful. Don’t let Ping’an eat anything on the way. Yu got sick from some sour plum soup and lamb tripe he drank when he ran out."

Zhou Jiao nodded, "Okay. If you’re too busy, let Auntie know; there’s still an Aunt at home."

"No need. If he’s okay by tomorrow morning, I’ll take him out of the hospital."

"If you’re missing anything, get it from my house. My parents aren’t home, there’s surplus supply this month."

"Okay. I’ll come clean it out."

Not far from the door, Zhang Guoqing watched them come over and asked again, "Do you really not need to transfer hospitals?"

Cheng Ruzhu shook her head, entered the room, and waved at Ping’an, "Sweetie, quickly go with your dad, or you’ll miss the train. Once you get back, you must behave and not learn from your uncle about putting everything in your mouth, understand?"

While waving goodbye to Yu, Ping’an replied, "Got it. Uncle, I’ll bring you some meat. You must get better quickly and wait for my return."

"Don’t have too much fun there and not come back. I’ll be at the Big Courtyard waiting for you."

Cheng Ruzhu saw Zhang Guoqing and his family off, and when she turned back into the ward, she found her son staring closely at the military backpack on the bedside table. She nodded quietly, pleased that her son was smart enough to catch her signals.

"They’re gone? Hurry and see what they brought."
