Chapter 2502

　　When Sokov was writing a book at home the next day, he couldn't concentrate. He was wondering whether the drunkard would cause trouble for Asiya today.

From what Sokov knows about drunkards, these people will do anything to get a sip of wine. If Asiya refuses to issue a certificate for him, will he take action against Asiya? You know, Asiya is pregnant now, and if she gets pregnant, the consequences will be very serious.

Thinking of this, Sokov could no longer sit still. You can write a book at any time, and the child in Asiya's belly is more important than anything else, so nothing can go wrong. So he put down the pen in his hand, got up, put on his military coat and left the house.

When he went downstairs, Sokov was still wondering whether he should take the subway or take a taxi. Unexpectedly, when he walked out of the unit door, he saw the barrel truck parked opposite. He raised his hand and slapped his forehead, cursing himself in his mind for being confused and forgetting the car that Yakov gave him. Anyway, I am a car owner now. Wherever I want to go in the future, I can just drive there. There is no need to take a taxi or take the subway.

Sokov got in the car, started the vehicle, and drove out of the community.

When he arrived at the door, the sentry on duty walked over and seemed to want to stop the vehicle and question him. But when he saw clearly that Sokov was sitting in the car, he immediately stopped, took a step back, and stood at attention to salute the vehicle passing in front of him. When Sokov drove past him, he smiled and nodded at him.

Now Asiya has been transferred to the military hospital on Lenin Street. Sokov can be said to be very familiar with the terrain there. After all, his first house in Moscow was only separated from the military hospital by a wall. When I think of that house, I naturally think of the military doctors and nurses I met in the hospital at that time. I even lent the house to them for two years. I don’t know if I will meet them when I go to the military hospital today.

 The barrel truck soon arrived at the entrance of the military hospital.

Since the war has ended, the sentries originally standing guard at the door have been replaced by civilian police.

“Comrade policeman,” Sokov stopped the car and asked the policeman standing at the door, “Can I drive in?”

"Of course, of course." When the policeman saw that the driver was actually a general, he quickly and respectfully said: "Comrade General, please wait a moment, I will open the door for you right away."

After pushing open the other half of the closed iron door, the policeman held the door and gestured to Sokov that he could drive in.

After thanking the police, Sokov drove into the military hospital, found a suitable location to park, and then got out of the car and walked into the outpatient clinic building.

After entering the building, Sokov saw that the halls and corridors were filled with medical staff wearing military uniforms and white coats. As soon as they see Sokov, they will immediately stop and raise their hands to salute him before continuing to move forward.

 A young nurse with a round face saluted Sokov and prepared to leave. Seeing that her hands were empty, Sokov guessed that she didn't have anything important to do, so he stopped her and asked politely: "Comrade nurse, do you know where the surgical clinic is?"

“Yes, Comrade General, I know.” After answering in a positive tone, the round-faced nurse asked tentatively: “Do you need me to take you there?”

"If that's the case, that's great." Although Sokov has been here before, after all, it was a few years ago, and the locations of various departments may have been adjusted. If he went to find it by himself, he might take some wrong paths. But if a nurse from the military hospital leads the way, this situation can be avoided: "Comrade nurse, please lead the way for me."

On the way, Sokov asked the nurse curiously: "Comrade nurse, I don't know what to call you?"

 “My name is Aurora,” the nurse answered shortly.

Sokov felt that the other party looked young, so he continued to ask: "Do you mind if I ask your age?" Unknowingly, he had changed the "you" in the title to something closer. of "you".

 “I am 16 years old, Comrade General.”

"Sixteen years old!" Sokov nodded slightly when he heard the age mentioned by Aurora, and then said: "Marshal Rokossovsky's daughter Ana seemed to be 16 years old when she became a nurse."

"Comrade General," Aurora did not answer Sokov's words, but asked tentatively: "Are you going to the surgical clinic to see a doctor?"

"No, Aurora." Sokov shook his head and replied, "I'm looking for my wife. She was just transferred here a few months ago and works in the surgical clinic."

Since there have been a lot of personnel changes in the military hospital recently, Aurora couldn't guess who Sokov's wife was, so she asked tentatively: "Comrade General, I wonder what your wife's name is?"

"Asiya." After Sokov said Asiya's name, he was worried that Aurora, who was leading the way, wouldn't recognize him, so he specially gestured with his hand on his stomach and continued: "She has been pregnant for several months now. of conception."

Unexpectedly, as soon as Sokov finished speaking, Aurora stopped and said: "It turns out to be her, Comrade General. Fortunately, you said it early, otherwise our trip would have been in vain."

Sokov couldn't help but be startled when he heard what Aurora said, and then asked: "Why?"

“Comrade General, have you never asked your wife about her specific work in the hospital?” Aurora asked.

Sokov shook his head and said with some embarrassment: "Military hospitals belong to the military system, and many things in them must be kept confidential, so at home, I basically never asked her about her work in the military hospital."

Aurora feels very understanding of Sokov's explanation. Military hospitals belong to the military system, and many places involve confidentiality. If someone asks her about things in the military hospital, she will definitely be wary. Therefore, it seemed logical that the military doctor Asiya in front of him would not talk to the general in front of him about the things in the military hospital.

"Comrade General, it's no wonder." Aurora explained to Sokov: "In order to take care of the health of military doctor Asiya, the hospital leaders have stopped allowing her to continue seeing patients in the surgical clinic since last week."

"Then where is she now?" "On the third floor!" Aurora pointed upstairs with her hand and continued: "She is in the office on the third floor now. We can find it by going up the stairs we just passed. she."

 Under the leadership of Aurora, Sokov went up to the third floor and successfully found Asiya's office.

Asiya, who was sitting behind her desk looking at cases, saw Sokov appear at the door of her office. Asiya exclaimed, got up and walked around the office, quickly came to Sokov, and came with him. After giving him a hug, he asked in surprise: "Misha, why are you here?"

"I missed you, so I came here to see you." Sokov thought that Aurora was by his side, so he couldn't say some words casually. "Fortunately, I met nurse Aurora downstairs, otherwise I would have run to the surgery department. I’ll find you in the clinic.”

"Aurora, thank you!" Asiya said gratefully to Aurora: "How about, come in and have a cup of tea."

"No, no." Aurora politely declined Asiya's kindness: "I still have work to do, so I won't delay your conversation with Comrade General."

After Aurora left, Sokov quickly pulled Asiya into the room, closed the door and asked nervously: "Asiya, tell me quickly, did that drunkard come to pester you today? "

 “Come here!”

“Ah, he’s already here!” Sokov became even more nervous when he heard what Asya said: “Then did you give him a certificate for purchasing medical alcohol?”

"No, I didn't give him a certificate." Seeing the worry on Sokov's face, Asia quickly explained: "When he came here in the morning, he hadn't drank yet and was still sober. When I said I couldn't give it to him, He issued a certificate to purchase medical alcohol and turned around and left.”

 “Oh oh oh, that’s good, that’s good.” Knowing that the drunkard did not pester Asiya, Sokov felt much more at ease.

Asiya is also a smart person. From Sokov's expression, we can guess that he cares about her, otherwise he would not come to the military hospital specifically. He opened his arms and hugged Sokov, kissed him on the face, and said softly: "Misha, thank you for your concern for me."

After Sokov laughed dryly twice, he suddenly remembered Aurora who was leading him, and asked curiously: "By the way, the nurse Aurora just now is only 16 years old this year, and she is at the age of studying. How did she get there?" How about working in a military hospital?"

"I heard someone say that Aurora came to Moscow to pay homage to her father." Asiya explained to Sokov: "After the memorial ceremony, I met a general, and after learning about her life experience, he asked her if she would like to Stay in Moscow and work. Aurora thought that if she stayed in Moscow, she would have the opportunity to visit her father in the cemetery often, so she agreed to the other party's proposal and became a nurse in our military hospital."

Sokov did not expect that Aurora was actually a descendant of a martyr, so he asked tentatively: "Asia, do you know who her father is?"

"Yes, of course I know." Asiya nodded and said in a positive tone: "Her father's name was Porosukhin, and he was a colonel when he died!"

"What, his father is Colonel Porosukhin?" Sokov, who had just sat down, jumped up from his seat when he heard Asiya say Aurora's father's name: "He is the 32nd Red Banner Infantry of the Far Eastern Front. Division commander Colonel Porosukhin?”

“Yes, that’s him.” Asiya looked at Sokov and asked curiously, “Misha, do you know him?”

Sokov thought to himself that he had only seen this heroic division commander in the movie "The Defense of Moscow", but he had never seen him in this era. He shook his head and said to Asya: "No, I have never met Colonel Porosukhin. You know, during the defense of Moscow, he was in General Lelyushenko's 5th Army, and I was in Rokoso Marshal Vsky’s 16th Army. Although the defense lines of the two armies were connected together, my rank was too low at the time and I had no chance to meet Colonel Porosukhin.”

"I think so." When Asiya met Sokov, he was just a corporal. Even if he was promoted because of his meritorious service in defending the town of Khimki, he was still just a lieutenant. How could he have the chance to meet neighboring troops? Division Commander: "I remember when the big counterattack under Moscow started, you were just a platoon commander. To you at that time, the battalion commander was an amazing senior commander, let alone the division commander level."

Sokov did not refute Asiya's statement, but nodded in agreement.

“Porosukhin was already a colonel during the defense of Moscow.” Asiya then asked: “If he could live to this day, what kind of military rank could he get?”

"It's hard to say." Asya's question made it difficult for Sokov to answer. As far as he knew, many commanders in the Soviet army had already held the rank of major general or lieutenant general when the war broke out. His performance during the war was poor, and by the end of the war he either maintained his current rank or was demoted. Although Porosukhin commanded the troops with great success in the battle to defend Moscow, it is hard to say what kind of results he will achieve in the following years of war. However, considering Porosukhin's status, Sokov was not willing to say anything bad about him, but said to Asiya euphemistically: "If he had not died in 1942, he might be a lieutenant general or higher now. Commander."

"Misha, please sit here for a while. I still have a few cases to read. After reading them, I will go home with you." When Asiya returned to the desk again, she put her hand towards the corner of the wall. He pointed at a samovar half as tall as a man and said: "If you want to drink tea, pour it yourself."

Sokov had just come out of the house and was not thirsty yet. Naturally, he would not pour tea. Instead, he sat opposite Asya again and quietly watched her check the cases.

Asiya may have been a little embarrassed by Sokov's stare, so she raised her head and said: "Misha, I may have to work for a while. If you feel bored, just go outside for a walk. If you If you want to smoke, you can open the window in the corridor."

　　Sokov is actually not a big smoker. Whether he smokes or not is indifferent to him. Hearing what Asiya said, he smiled slightly, and then said: "Asiya, I just want to sit here and work with you, just like you sit next to me and watch me write every day."

"There's really nothing we can do about you." Asia smiled and shook her head, then pointed towards the door with her hand and said to Sokov: "Since you don't want to go out for a walk, I won't force you. Please leave the room." The door is open, and when we are required to work here, you cannot close the office door, otherwise you will be discovered by the dean and political commissar, and you will be criticized."

Sokov was sure that he would not let Asiya be criticized by the dean and political commissar for these trivial matters, so he stood up and opened the door, then returned to his seat, staring intently at Asiya who was working.

After watching for a while, Sokov couldn't help but start to lose focus. He remembered that the female military doctor he met in this military hospital was named Tonya, who was from Leningrad. At that time, Leningrad was under siege by the German army. Due to food shortages, many residents in the city starved to death. Tonya's family had lost contact and their lives were unknown, which made her very worried. Now that so many years have passed, I don’t know where Tonya is or whether her family is well.

When thinking of Tonya, an idea suddenly came to Sokov's mind. Maybe she was treating patients in a clinic downstairs at the moment. If he went downstairs to look for her, he might be able to see her again. As for her.
