Chapter 44
On the morning of the 30th, Xu Wen woke up early
She was woken up by the sound of a neatly organized slogan
She opened the curtains and saw the soldiers in formation running downstairs
The loud “one, two, three, four” resounded throughout the compound
Xu Wen washed up and told Dongsheng to get up
He had grown up in this environment since he was a child, and was immune to the sound of slogans
“Ma-ma, are we going to see dad later?”
“Yes, so you have to get up quickly”
“Okay!” Dongsheng rubbed his eyes and sat up on his butt
Xu Wen ate breakfast and rode the bike that Sister Hua left her to drive Dongsheng to the hospital
She was given breakfast, and in addition to breakfast, she was also given a pass to the compound, valid for one month
After the night, Lu Yuanzheng’s color looks much better
The boy who was with him yesterday just called Lu Yuanzheng with his breakfast, and when he saw Xu Man enter the hospital room, he got up and greeted him
Lu ordered the boy, “Go back and rest!” and pointed to Dongsheng, “Go back and rest!” He pointed to Dongsheng, “Take this kid back with you”
Dongsheng protested, “I just came! I came to see you and you still blast me?”
“I have something to say to your mom”
Dongsheng looked suspiciously at Lu Yuanzheng and then at Xu Wen, but he silently walked over to the young man
The young man led Dongsheng out, leaving behind a sentence: “Then Lu Lian, if you need anything, call the gate”
Mr Lu Yuanzheng harrumphed
When they left, Xu Wen sat on the bedside, opened the lunchbox, touched the bowl of porridge, and placed it on the bedside table for Lu Yuanzheng, then spoke: “What do you need to send Dongsheng away to say?”
Lu Yuanzheng let out an ah, “It’s nothing This is a hospital and he’s not having much fun here, so it’s better to go back”
Xu Man thought for a moment as if that was the case, but it wouldn’t be so bad that Dongsheng would blow people away as soon as he arrived, would it?
Lu Yuanzheng sighed softly, “I’m afraid he’ll ask me where my other uncles went and I won’t be able to tell him”
Xu Wen let out an ah, and then realized, also followed by a sigh: “It’s not long to keep it a secret”
“Uh-huh I don’t know the number of casualties or the list of names, so I’ll wait until I know for sure”
Lu Yuanzheng was injured in his right hand, eating with his left hand was obviously not very adaptable, for fear of spilling the porridge, he only scooped a little bit of porridge into his mouth each time
Half a day is not as much as a normal person’s mouthful of congee
Xu Wen watched for a while, a bit unable to watch, asked him: “Why don’t I feed you?”
Lu Yuanzheng abruptly put the spoon back into the bowl and let out a long sigh of relief, “You can finally open your mouth! Just waiting for you to say this”
Xu asked, “”
A bit teary-eyed, “You need help you say it instead!”
She thought that a tough guy like Lu Yuanzheng would be more facetious and wouldn’t want her to feed her
“Aren’t I thin-skinned?” Lu Yuanzheng lazily leaned on the head of the bed
Xu Wen carried a bowl in one hand and a spoon in the other, sending it to his mouth, rolling her eyes at the words, “I really don’t see it”
In fact, if you look closely, you can still see that Lu Yuanzheng’s ear tips are obviously red, not as bland as he appears
“Have you eaten breakfast?”
Xu Wen nodded, “I’ve eaten Your comrades served it well”
Three meals a day were delivered on point, and they didn’t forget to collect the empty bowls, repeatedly telling Xu Man that he didn’t need to wash them himself
No matter how thick-skinned Xu Wen was, she was embarrassed to let them wash the bowls she and Dongsheng had eaten
Lu Yuanzheng’s eyes darkened, hmmm, hesitated or explained to Xu Man: “Although these authorities are my comrades in arms, they are not in the same unit with me in just one military district Our unit is relatively far away, from here is still dozens of kilometers, when I’m good to take you back to meet them That Xue Jue you’ve seen sacrificed”
Xu asked ah
For a moment Xu Wen didn’t know what to say to comfort Lu Yuanzheng
Lu Yuanzheng didn’t want to talk deeply about this, shaking his head and changing the topic, “You said you got into college? Which university did you get into?”
“Beijing University!”
“Awesome! A great talent!”
“Not as good as you, big hero!”
Lu Yuanzheng laughed lightly, “When will school start?”
“After the 15th day of the first month”
“Still half a month!” Lu Yuanzheng raised his hand and slapped his head, “I almost forgot, today is the 30th day of the New Year?”
Xu Wen hmmmed
Originally, she had also forgotten about it, and it was only when she went out in the morning and saw the soldier brothers in the compound busy putting up couplets and hanging lanterns that she remembered this
Lu Yuanzheng shook his head, signaling that he was full, “Do me a favor and call that quack doctor you saw yesterday”
“Where are you not feeling well?” Xu Wen said as he got up and headed out
“No, just want to chat with him”
Xu asked, “”
I’ve never heard of a sick person chatting with a doctor for fun halfway through their meal
When Xu Man and Li Daoming returned to the ward, Song Xueqin and Dong Chao were already in the ward
The two of them consciously exited the ward and waited outside the door
Xu Man stood outside the door and could vaguely hear a few sentences
It seemed that Lu Yuanzheng’s unit was going to be restructured, and Lu Yuanzheng didn’t seem to be too happy about it and confronted Song Xueqin
Song Xueqin gave a strong order
Li Daoming was about as bored as he could be, so he explained to Xu Man, “Your man got promoted, from company commander to battalion commander”
Xu Man gave Li Daoming a puzzled look, not quite believing his words
A promotion was a good thing, what was Lu Yuanzheng yelling about?
“Their thinking is different from our ordinary people” Li Daoming continued to explain, “Lu Yuanzheng is used to fighting on the battlefield Even though he was promoted but he didn’t have a battle to fight, he was told to lead the men to guard the island, that’s why he was in there in an uproar”
Xu asked, “”
She glanced towards the work license on Li Daoming’s chest, “As far as I know, military doctors are also soldiers?”
Where did we come from?
Li Daoming rubbed his nose, “Soldiers who save lives and help the wounded are two different things from those who kill the enemy on the battlefield, and are approximately equal to ordinary citizens”
“No wonder the sense of secrecy is so poor!”
Li Daoming: “”
He rolled his eyes in a good-natured manner, “Worthy of being two people, just as unpleasant! I’m not seeing that you don’t understand before Baba explains? Besides, it’s not confidential if they dare to discuss it in the ward or so loudly How can you yell if it’s confidential? The next ward can hear it”
Xu Wen thought about it and apologized with a nod, “Then I was wrong to blame you”
After a while, Song Xueqin pushed out the door with a dark face, and when he saw Xu Man, he tried to put on a cordial smile again, so much so that his face was a bit distorted
Dong Chao followed closely behind, pointing at Xu Man in the hospital room, “Sister-in-law, persuade that donkey”
Li Daoming was happy and pushed the door in before gloating to Lu Yuanzheng, “Ha! Donkey, why are you looking for me?”
Lu Yuanzheng turned around, his eyes like knives
Xu Wen cowered
Lu Yuanzheng turned back again, slowed down and then turned back again, his eyes resuming their usual look that Xu Man commonly saw
“To discuss something with you”
Lu Yuanzheng clearly had a good voice, but Li Daoming instead retreated two steps, his face alert: “What do you want to do again?”
“I want to get out of the hospital!”
“Bah!” Li Dao Ming spat at him, “You want to eat shit! It’s good enough that I didn’t put tubes all over you, and you still want to be discharged? Why don’t you go to heaven?”
“Fuck! Wait until I can get out of bed!”
Li Daoming yawned and turned his back, slapping his ass through his white coat, “Come on!”
Xu asked, “”
What did she see?
Was it what she thought it was?
Xu Man’s expression was too astonished, and Li Daoming clenched his fist against his mouth and coughed lightly, “Sister-in-law, don’t act like you’ve eaten a fly, it’s not what you think! We were just joking!”
Lu Yuanzheng snorted coldly and asked Xu, “Don’t bother with this idiot He’s the one who abandoned martial arts to become a doctor because he lacks heart Back then, he was a walking sandbag at the bottom of our company’s training mat”
“F*ck! Brother is a man of culture, don’t bother with you bunch of martial artists I got into college on the basis of my strength, and I graduated with a straight medical degree, okay?”
Xu Man didn’t doubt Li Daoming’s professionalism because his picture was hanging on the first floor of the hospital, with some of his personal achievements written underneath
Li Daoming can excel in such a large hospital is by no means a quack in the mouth of Lu Yuanzheng
Just Xu asked, weighing the words to compliment them, “You get along in a strange way!”
Owe Search!
Lu Yuanzheng: “”
Li Daoming: “”
Li Daoming cleared his throat, intending to salvage his precarious image with Xu Man, and asked Lu Yuanzheng, “What are you doing out of the hospital?”
“Are you blind? My daughter-in-law is standing at the door! It’s New Year’s Eve, in the hospital?”
Xu asked: “”
Xu Wen thought that if she were Li Daoming, she would have mixed dummy medicine into Lu Yuanzheng’s infusion bottle
Why does it feel like Lu Yuanzheng won’t talk properly once he’s back?
No, they all seem to be like this
On their wedding day, Xue Jue and the others were the same
Xu Man thought that Li Daoming would scold him back, or at the very least gloat and refuse, but who knew that he glanced at Xu Man and spoke after some serious thought: ”You’ve got a cast on your leg! You’ve also broken two ribs Even if you go back you won’t be able to do anything”
Xu Man’s face abruptly turned red, she suspected that Li Daoming was hinting at something, but felt that she was overthinking it
Lu Yuanzheng was not as restrained as Xu Man, snorting coldly, “That’s not something you should be in charge of”
“Alright! I’ll prescribe medicine for you and bring it with me, you go back to the infirmary to get an infusion In addition, I will find a wheelchair for you, remember to bring it back when you come back, after you go back, honestly nest in the family building, can’t go anywhere, you can only change a place to lie down I’ll arrange for a car to take you later”
Only then did Lu Yuanzheng’s face look much better, “Thanks!”
“Ha!” Li Daoming pulled out his ears, “Say that again, I didn’t hear you”
“Scram!”
Xu asked, “”
Suddenly feeling a bit redundant
She followed Li Daoming out of the hospital room, “Doctor Li, can Lu Yuanzheng really be discharged now?”
Ming Ming broke out in a cold sweat from the pain when she moved
Li Daoming sighed softly, “Of course you can’t”
“Then you still promise?”
Xu Man just opened his mouth, and then felt that this kind of words were a little too aggressive, swallowed back
Li Daoming leaned against the wall, half bending one leg, “For us, as long as our lives are still alive, everything else is trivial At the very least, compared to spending New Year’s Eve with our family, that bit of pain in our body Lu Yuanzheng won’t put it on our minds” Li Daoming raised his hand as if to pat Xu Man’s shoulder, but halfway through, he felt that men and women were different and put his hand back, “I understand him Even if I don’t agree, he has the ability to slip out of the ward Instead of letting him add some new injuries, it’s better to let him go in a big way, so he’ll suffer less”
Xu asked, “”
Seeing the two of you dislike each other like that, I thought you guys had a wife snatching vendetta
I can’t imagine that you are so considerate of him in private?
Xu asked the idea is written on the face
Li Daoming denied with a raised eyebrow, “Don’t think too much! I’m really not for him, I’m looking at your face Our place is far and remote, it’s not easy for any of the sisters-in-law to make a trip here, and any one of them is a national treasure in our place Otherwise I’d have gotten someone to weld the doors and windows shut, but I wouldn’t have let him out of the hospital” Of course, if Xu Wen didn’t come, Lu Yuanzheng definitely wouldn’t want to be discharged either
Not being afraid of pain and finding your own suffering were two different things
Xu Wen: “”
So is this the right place for her to come or the wrong place for her to come?
