Zhang Xueliang's beloved dry daughter of Miss Zhao Si, what question did she ask that made Zhang Xueliang suddenly change her face?
In the early 1940s, there was a National Central Hospital in the southern suburbs of Guiyang, and the senior nursing school of the hospital had a third-year student named Zhou Shunhua from Yuanling, Hunan. Suddenly, one day, she was assigned to a special ward room to work as a special caregiver for a patient. Later, Zhou Shunhua learned that this patient was the famous Zhang Xueliang, who was admitted to the hospital due to acute appendicitis peritoneal perforation and could not be treated in time, and was in a semi-shock state, and only woke up after rescue. Coming to the hospital with Zhang Xueliang was Zhao Yidi, who hung the title of secretary, a wet nurse and Zhang Xueliang's aide-de-camp.
This year, Zhou Shunhua just turned 19 years old, she is not tall, round face, big eyes, the corners of the mouth often hang a cute smile, often love to hum pop songs, a naïve and lively, carefree look.
She called Zhang Xueliang "sir", silently gave him injections, changed medicines, checked his body temperature, put warm compresses, wiped his body, removed pillow towels and sheets, skilled, dexterous movements, and was very pleasing to Zhang Xueliang; Zhang Xueliang called her Xiao Zhou, and later called her "fat", and also liked to listen to her lark-like song.
At the beginning, Zhou Shunhua always followed the instructions of the dean, the system of the ward, and the reminder of the head nurse, paying attention to keeping quiet at any time, and did not dare to open his mouth to say unnecessary gossip. Sometimes, Zhang Xueliang was in a good mood and asked Zhou Shunhua to sing and enliven the atmosphere.
But most of the time, Zhang Xueliang was silent and silent, either sleeping with his head covered, or relatively speechless with Miss Zhao Si. Whenever this happened, Zhou Shunhua always quietly withdrew, not daring to disturb.
When Zhou Shunhua first saw Zhang Xueliang, although he was ill, there was always a solemn atmosphere of non-anger and power between his eyebrows, and whenever he approached him, he could not help but beat his heart with "thumping"; he also knew the greatness of his responsibility, and was afraid that something would go wrong and bring disaster to him. As time went on, she felt that the big man was not so terrible, and treated everyone around him like a kind father.
She paid special attention to miss Zhao Si. She and Zhang Xueliang lived day and night, inseparable, as long as Miss Zhao Si stayed by her side, Zhang Xueliang was tired and could sleep quietly. Once he woke up, his eyes were not open, the first sound must be "Mimi" (his affectionate name for Miss Zhao Si), and when he heard Miss Zhao Si's response, he smiled satisfactorily.
Familiarity increases understanding, and after understanding, a sense of intimacy is naturally born. Zhou Shunhua was extremely willing to get close to Zhang Xueliang and Miss Zhao Si, and in addition to playing cards with them from time to time, he even made love to his mother and lieutenants who did not speak much.
One day, in the nursing mother's room, Zhou Shunhua quietly raised the mystery in his heart in a different way: Miss Zhao Si was so young and beautiful, and she was not General Zhang's wife, accompanying General Zhang to prison, living such a dry and lonely life, is it worth it?
The nurse was silent for a moment before she said solemnly, "Which girl are you still young, what is the most precious thing in the world?" It's true love. True feelings cannot be exchanged for gold mountains and silver mountains. Miss Zhao Si admired and admired General Zhang, and their mutual feelings came out of their hearts. Although they did not have the order of their parents, the words of the matchmaker, the public wedding ceremony, and the name of the husband and wife, they had a true love for each other. Especially when General Zhang was in trouble, was it not the noblest character in the world to be able to stand up and accompany General Zhang to prison and share General Zhang's sorrows and pains regardless of his name and reputation and the discussion of the laymen? ”
Zhou Shunhua nodded with understanding.
Chiang Kai-shek was afraid that the plainclothes agents sent to spy on Zhang Xueliang would be "bribed" or found out of conscience to sympathize with Zhang Xueliang, so he had to change a group of people every week. For those plainclothes agents who wandered around and in the courtyard day and night, Zhou Shunhua was just familiar with a few, and in a few days he turned into some unfamiliar faces. She can already judge these phenomena in her heart.
Zhou Shunhua often dined with Zhang Xueliang, Miss Zhao Si, as well as adjutants and nurses. Once, she inadvertently said: "Our food is too good, I am afraid it is not worse than the provincial chairman's family." ”
Miss Zhao Si smiled bitterly and said, "The food is open well, and there are still people who 'protect' us day and night, so what?" You don't see the birds and beasts in the park, they are also waiting to eat well every day, and some people are protecting, both enjoying and safe, but they are thin, and they are still thin day by day. Why? Because they have lost their freedom, they always want to return to nature, birds and beasts are still like this, let alone people? ”
One day, Zhou Shunhua played cards with Zhang Xueliang again, she was absent-minded, and she lost one after another, Zhang Xueliang asked: "Fat er, what is wrong with you?" ”
Miss Zhao Si said: "It may be that several letters she wrote out are like stones sinking into the sea, thinking about her mother." ”
Zhang Xueliang stopped the card in his hand and said apologetically: "Poor child, let you suffer with us." ”
Zhou Shunhua couldn't help but blush in his eyes, so he fell into his mother's arms and drank.
Miss Zhao Si sympathetically comforted: "Don't worry, when Mr. Zhang is well and discharged from the hospital, you will be free." When you really want to be a mother, think of me as your mother. ”
Zhang Xueliang also quipped to Miss Zhao Si: "You have received a dry daughter, but don't forget to have half of my share." ”
The nurse pushed Zhou Shunhua and urged, Silly boy, call daddy and mom! ”
With tears on his face, Zhou Shunhua stood up with half joy and half shame and bowed, and shouted loudly: dad, mom. "Immediately bow your head.
Miss Zhao Si said "good child", took out a handkerchief, pulled Zhou Shunhua over, and wiped her tears for her.
Later, Zhang Xueliang and Miss Zhao Si instructed the adjutant to buy Zhou Shunhua a Guan Leming pen and a new pair of leather shoes. These two things were rare and expensive things at that time. Leather shoes, Zhou Shunhua is usually reluctant to wear, only fake festivals are very cherished to wear once; pens, has been with her for a long time.
In the more than three months of nursing Zhang Xueliang, Zhou Shunhua seemed to have suddenly grown up, and he had a profound understanding of the world's grace and resentment, love and hate, right and wrong, evil and righteousness.
Once, when playing cards, she once asked Zhang Xueliang out of curiosity how he launched the Xi'an Incident. Unexpectedly, Zhang Xueliang's face suddenly changed, and his usual kindness and kindness were gone, and he drank in a loud voice: "Shut up! You a doll family knows what, play your cards now! ”
Zhou Shunhua was so frightened that he did not dare to say a word anymore, and his heart "thumped" and jumped.
Later, the adjutant shouted at her in the aisle: "Little Miss Zhou, be careful when you speak in the future!" When you say it, you ask it, and you think about what you see, don't rush out. ”
In the third month of Zhang Xueliang's hospitalization, due to the hospital's attention and the meticulous care of the head nurse Li Yueying and Zhou Shunhua, the wounds of the operation healed well; however, people were more silent. He was depressed all day long, often alone in the courtyard late at night, looking up at the stars, or staring at the sunken moon in the west, for a long time.
Miss Zhao Si naturally failed to lie down, only in the shadow of the door opening, leaning on the door frame and quietly guarding. It wasn't until the late autumn night cold struck that she went to get a coat, put it on Zhang Xueliang, and stood side by side with him, and then helped each other back to her room. All the while, they didn't say a word.
When Zhang Xueliang and his party were discharged from the hospital, Zhou Shunhua was reluctant and his eyes were red.
Zhang Xueliang shook her hand and said, "Fat Er, we may have a chance to meet in the future." Remember: doctors and nurses are equally noble professions, and they all have to have a holy heart. ”
Miss Zhao Si hugged Zhou Shunhua to her chest: "Good daughter, the fate of your father and mother and yours may end here." In the future, I hope that you will be a clean and honest person and do things honestly. ”
After liberation, Zhou Shunhua became a worker at the Chongqing Jiangling Machine Factory until his retirement. This period of life of nursing General Zhang Xueliang has become a valuable spiritual wealth in Zhou Shunhua's life. Later in life, she encountered many storms and many difficulties. But as long as she thinks about that period of confinement, and thinks of the life principles she learned and realized in those days, she will be calm.
