Your promise, my sea

Chapter 17 The Stubborn Patient

B City Military Region General Hospital.

In the emergency room, there was silence.Under the incandescent lights, the doctors and nurses gathered together and treated the wound in an orderly manner.The leading female military doctor had a thin layer of sweat on her forehead. She was used to seeing wounds, so her hand holding the scissors was still steady. gasped.She carefully observed the wound, and couldn't help but sigh silently, what kind of sharp weapon was needed to cause such a deep wound.

"Doctor Tu."

A nurse handed over a hemostat, and the female military doctor took another breath, calmed down, and picked up tools to treat the wound.

Outside the emergency room was an anxious Liu Xiangdong.While pacing back and forth, he stared at the door of the emergency room while listening to the soft sobs not far away, inevitably a little upset.He stroked his hair, and said to a soldier standing in the corner: "Stop it, Mr. Gu will come over in a while, seeing you like this, I thought something was wrong with your chief of staff!"

The soldier wiped away his tears when he heard the words, and lowered his head even lower.

At this moment, there were three figures hurriedly approaching from the other end of the corridor.After seeing the person coming, Liu Xiangdong hastily walked up to meet him.

"Old Commander!"

He saluted Gu Changzhi who was walking towards him.

Gu Changzhi asked with a serious face, "How's it going?"

Liu Xiangdong glanced at Li Wan and Yan Zhen who were following, and was a little afraid to say anything.Seeing his appearance, Mr. Gu immediately became anxious: "Are you talking? The hesitant look makes people feel even more worried!"

Under Gu Changzhi's eager inquiry, Liu Xiangdong choked out a sentence: "It's inside."

In the emergency room, these three big characters made Mr. Gu silent, and also made Yan Zhen, who had just stood firm after following him, couldn't help his legs go weak.

"What's wrong?" Liu Xiangdong supported her with concern.

"It's okay." Yan Zhen shook his head palely, leaning on the wall, barely standing still.

Mr. Gu glanced at Yan Zhen, then lowered his voice and asked Liu Xiangdong, "How long will it take to come out?"

Liu Xiangdong shook his head: "I don't know yet." What's the matter with such a deep wound, I have to wait a little longer.

After speaking, there was another silence.After an unknown amount of time, Mr. Gu sighed deeply: "Sit down and wait."

Yan Zhen was weak on his feet, leaning against the wall, moved to the bench outside the emergency room and sat down.It was already past one o'clock in the morning, and the hospital gradually quieted down. Yan Zhen felt that the air around him seemed to freeze, and he couldn't hear anything, only Li Wan's soft sobs rang in his ears, beating little by little. her nerves.

Suddenly the door of the emergency room opened wide, Yan Zhen's eyelids twitched, and he immediately jumped up from the bench.However, it was not Gu Huaiyue who came out, but a nurse.Holding a basin in her hand, the nurse hurried towards them.The elders of the Gu family stopped her and anxiously asked about the situation, while the young nurse looked at the old man with the rank of general in front of him who was so nervous that he couldn't speak, and could only utter one sentence for a long time: "Doctor Tu is stitching up the wound."

Following the nurse's words, the four people present all looked at the basin in her hand. They could tell that it was a pair of camouflage army pants, but the color was very abnormal, as if they had been soaked in blood.Looking at the military trousers and thinking of the people inside, Yan Zhen quickly covered his mouth, covering the sobs that were about to overflow.Li Wan also began to sob. Old Master Gu clenched his fists heavily and waved his hands to call the soldier who had been standing in the corner of the wall silently since they arrived. He wanted to ask exactly how his son got this injury.

The soldier sobbed and said: "Yesterday, after the chief of staff called home, his feet suddenly hurt, but he was fine again after a while. I didn't take it to heart, so I walked with him to the town government to attend the memorial service , but within 10 minutes of walking, the chief of staff held my shoulder again. When I looked back, the chief of staff's face was pale, and there was bean-sized sweat dripping from his forehead, which shocked me. Here, when the chief of staff was still experiencing aftershocks, he went to an upstairs building on the side of the street to help an old lady out. Such a large cement slab fell down suddenly, and the glass shards on it were stuck into his legs—— "

Hearing this, Mrs. Gu shuddered all over, and Liu Xiangdong hurriedly signaled to the soldier to stop talking.It was quiet all of a sudden, only Li Wan's slight sobs could be heard, Gu Changzhi frowned and sat on the bench smoking.Liu Xiangdong stood beside him, looking at him uncertainly: "Old Army Commander, I remember you told me on the phone when Huai Yue first transferred to Division A that he had an old injury on his right foot, let me watch him Point. The military doctor can deal with the glass shards in his legs, but I saw that he was in severe pain, so he was sent directly to City B by helicopter."

The hospitals in the provincial capital of province Q are full of patients, and the rest of the seriously injured people are sent to city B nearby.Gu Changzhi gave a "huh" and nodded his head, his expression was a little distant, until he was burned by the cigarette between his fingers before he came back to his senses with an "oh" and said to Liu Xiangdong: "Thank you, Xiao Liu."

"Old Commander, don't say that." Liu Xiangdong spent a period of time under Gu Changzhi's command before being transferred to Division A.That was the happiest period of his life, and it was inseparable from the cultivation of the old chief.In my impression, the old chief had a loud voice and a hale and hearty spirit, but sitting here now is a wrinkled and loving father who is worried about his son. "I think Huai Yue is in severe pain. It's not as simple as just being injured. Is there something else?"

Liu Xiangdong's question made the old man silent. The old man first glanced at Yan Zhen, extinguished the cigarette in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "It should be a relapse of the old disease. He has injured his right foot before, and he needs to follow the pain method you said. , most likely fractured again.”

As soon as this remark came out, there was another suffocating silence.And Yan Zhen took a deep breath and stood up abruptly: "Dad, look at Mom, I'll get her some water."

Gu Changzhi looked directly into her red eyes and nodded.Yan Zhen also forced a smile, turned around and walked out quickly.

Looking at Yan Zhen's back, Liu Xiangdong was a little worried: "Do you want Xiao Zhang to follow up and have a look?"

Gu Changzhi shook his head: "No need, this girl doesn't want to cry in front of me and her mother, so let her go."

Yan Zhen walked forward slowly.

He said he was going to pick up water, but he walked past the water supply without blinking, walked straight to the end of the corridor, and turned a corner.

There was a row of benches, empty at the moment.Yan Zhen stood in front of the bench in a daze for a while, until all the strength she had accumulated with great difficulty was exhausted, and she sat down on the bench.

Since she was a child, she was not a person who loved to cry.And she will not cry loudly, no matter how much wronged she suffers, she is suppressed and choked up.Grandma said that she has such a boring temper, what should she do when she grows up.

She didn't take it seriously at the time, thinking it was a strong performance.Now, when she wanted to find a place to vent and cry, she found that she couldn't cry.Even if I feel aggrieved and uncomfortable, I can only hold on to my clothes and weep silently.

She couldn't figure it out so much, she was about to go home, but why did he end up in the emergency room in a blink of an eye?And the blood-soaked army trousers, how deep the wound you said would bleed so much blood.And him, why would he say he misses her when he is going to suffer such a catastrophe?He didn't know, as soon as he said he missed her, she scratched her heart and wanted to see him.

"It's really scratching your heart and liver, do you know how uncomfortable this taste is?"

She was so wronged that she grabbed the hem of her clothes and cried until her shoulders were shaking.

I don't know how long it took, but when she felt that she was going to faint from crying if she continued to cry, she gently patted her shoulder with one hand.A kind and soft female voice called her back to God: "Yan Zhen?"

She raised her head abruptly, and stared blankly at the visitor with tear-filled eyes, unable to react.

It was Zhong Liying and Xi Shaofeng's husband and wife, they also came over immediately when they heard that Gu Huaiyue was injured and sent to the General Hospital of the Military Region.

Zhong Liying looked at Yan Zhen distressedly, and while wiping her tears, said: "You silly child, why are you here? Where is Huaiyue, how is it?"

Yan Zhen opened his mouth, and tears flowed before he spoke.

Xi Shaofeng hurriedly carried Zhong Liying with his arms, not letting her ask any more: "You stay here with Xiaozhen first, I'll go in and have a look." Xi Shaofeng saw that Yan Zhen's mood was very unstable, and told Zhong Liying.

Zhong Liying has been a military wife for so many years, so she has long understood this, so she waved her hand and told Xi Shaofeng to go quickly.She accompanied Yan Zhen and sat down on the bench beside her. In this empty corner, she gently stroked Yan Zhen's back and coaxed Yan Zhen like a child.

And Yan Zhen is really like a child, when no one coaxes him when he falls, he can't help crying, but if there is someone who feels distressed, it's like he has suffered a great grievance, and he cries as if he can't stop the brake: "Zhong Auntie, he doesn't count his words..."

Zhong Liying hummed, but smiled faintly, and the movements of his hands still did not stop, comforting her one after another, making Yan Zhen feel the softness and long-lost warmth that belonged to his mother in a trance.She couldn't help leaning towards Zhong Liying, and Zhong Liying naturally felt it, and grabbed her shoulders and patted her: "Girl, do you know what you remind me of?" She looked at Yan Zhen crying messily, softly He said in a low voice: "You, it reminds me of the first time your Uncle Xi was injured. At that time we were in Tibet. There was a rare strong earthquake in Tibet. Your Uncle Xi's troops were the first to enter the epicenter for disaster relief. I waited and hoped at home, for fear of bad news. But some things in the world are just so coincidental, I just waited for one. Your Uncle Xi was injured on his arm, and the fracture cannot be broken. He moved. We bandaged him when we came back, but he was still complaining of pain, so I scolded him that you are still a soldier, and you can’t bear the pain?” Zhong Liying couldn’t help laughing at this point: “Later, he exerted himself Rubbing the right lower abdomen, continued to complain of pain, and asked the doctor in the team for an examination. They said it was acute appendicitis and had to be operated on quickly. At that time, the conditions of the border guards were poor, and your Uncle Xi had a fever, but the operation was performed on the spot. If you do well, he will be so good!"

"That's Uncle Xi's fate." Yan Zhen said with a choked voice.

"Isn't it just fate! The doctor said that there will be a piercing at any later date, but your Uncle Xi is as heartless as he fell asleep when the pain stopped, and the fever slowly subsided. At that time I I was scared when I remembered it, and I hugged his head and cried violently, waking him up. He scolded me with a hoarse voice and didn’t let me cry.” I don’t know if it’s old, but these things that made her suffer It can be recalled very plainly.Yan Zhen even found that, like Gu Huaiyue, whenever she fell into memories, the expression on her face was very gentle, which was the relief that only came after going through a lot.

"Later I got scared. In order to reassure me, your uncle Xi always issued a military order for me every time he went out for something. But he is dishonest, and he has to come back with some injuries when he goes out. So I I understand, these men can only talk without words, only shed blood and sweat but not tears. Those tears are all shed by us women. But you have to remember after the tears are over, the scars on their bodies are Military medals are their pride! Do you understand?"

"I understand." Yan Zhen wiped away tears and nodded, then said hoarsely, "Thank you, Aunt Zhong."

"Hey, it's okay." Zhong Liying replied softly, turned her head away, and quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

When Yan Zhen's mood stabilized, Gu Huaiyue had already been transferred to the general ward.

When Yan Zhen returned to the ward, she happened to see the doctor coming out of it. When she was anxious, she grabbed the doctor and asked about the situation.

The female military doctor looked very tired at the moment, but seeing Yan Zhen's eager expression, she had no choice but to pull herself together and say, "The wound is healed, go in and have a look."

"Hey, sorry to trouble the doctor."

Yan Zhen hurried into the ward.Mr. Gu and Xi Shaofeng were sitting outside, while Li Wan and a nurse were surrounding Gu Huaiyue's bed.She approached quietly, only to realize that they were wiping the small wounds on his face and wrists.

She just stood there not far away, looking at him without blinking.

Gu Huaiyue on the hospital bed had already changed into a clean hospital gown, and the wound on his leg was also well bandaged, because he was still sleeping at the moment because of the anesthesia given when the wound was stitched up.Even if he fell asleep, he was restless, and his brows were slightly frowned.Is it too painful?As soon as this idea came out, she walked up quickly and said to the nurse, "I'll do it."

She took the medicine and cotton swab from the nurse, and persuaded Li Wan to go outside to rest, then she sat down beside his bed, and concentrated on wiping these small wounds, just like what he did back then, wiping his The wound was cleaned up, and the medicine was carefully applied to him.

As it went on, she couldn't help guessing how he got these wounds.Maybe it was left behind when rescuing the deeply buried survivors, or it was scratched by heavy objects. In short, she would not be stupid like her and hurt herself.

Suddenly the hand she was holding moved. She was afraid that it would hurt him, so she slowed down the movement.But the hands in his hands were even more restless, and moved again, as if to hold her hand.Yan Zhen couldn't help but look up at him, and as expected, a pair of dark eyes were staring at her for a moment, as if she had woken up already, but also as if she hadn't fallen asleep.

She was stunned, but he smiled slightly and said in a hoarse voice, "I dreamed of you."

Good, he also had a dream.She looked at him, and her heart was full of sadness.Seeing that he wanted to say something, Yan Zhen stopped him: "Don't talk, your voice is too hoarse, I'll pour you a glass of water."

After finishing speaking, she ran to pour a glass of water, supported his head and let him drink it: "Is your throat still dry? Do you want to drink more? Does it still hurt?"

Looking at his bandaged and hung up legs, Gu Huaiyue shook his head: "It doesn't hurt."

How could such a deep wound not hurt, Yan Zhen knew that he would make up such an unconvincing lie to deceive her.But looking at his haggard and tired face, she couldn't bear to expose his words, so she held his hand tightly and said, "That's good."

Gu Huaiyue looked at her, and gently moved the hand held by her: "Sit down and talk to me."

"Ah."

She sat down obediently, but the person who asked her to talk to him didn't speak, just kept looking at her, as if she disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving him alone in pain: "wife."

"Ah."

"Wife."

"Ah."

Gu Huaiyue yelled twice, and she responded twice, her nose suddenly became sour, and her eye sockets felt a little hot.In the end, she simply buried her head and buried her face in his palm.

Gu Huaiyue tried to move his hand, but she pushed it down.He is now a weak person, bored, unable to hold her back, so he could only lie down obediently. After a long time, he looked at her trembling shoulders and said, "Don't cry, Yan Zhen."

"I didn't cry."

She whimpered and retorted without any convincing.But Gu Huaiyue smiled, and squeezed her hand once and for all, as if to comfort her.When he was dealing with the wound just now, he was groggy, and the only feeling he felt was pain.But just when he was in so much pain that his heart was about to twitch, he opened his eyes and saw her, so he finally felt a little bit at ease, as long as she was here.

As Gu Huaiyue's breathing gradually became even and long, this long night finally passed.Both the elders of the Gu family and Yan Zhen stayed up all night, but at this moment, neither of them thought of going to sleep, because the doctor performed an examination on his feet last night, and now they are eager to know the results of the examination.

There was another person who was busy all night like them, and that was Tu Xiao, a female military doctor.She was on the night shift last night, and it just so happened that a patient in need of emergency was brought here. After finishing her work, she caught up on two hours of sleep, and she still couldn't keep her eyes open when she stood in front of the three of them.

"Doctor Tu, how is Huaiyue doing now?" the old man asked.

Tu Xiao flipped through the inspection report he just got in his hand: "Actually, the wound on the leg is just a flesh injury. What is really serious is his right foot, which has cracked bone and the crack has shifted. If it is an old disease, it should have been done before." surgery?"

Facing Tu Xiao's question, Li Wan and Yan Zhen looked at each other in blank dismay.The old man took a puff of cigarette, and his voice was slightly sandy: "I moved it, but it was several years ago, does it have something to do with it?"

Li Wan couldn't help being a little surprised: "Several years ago? Why didn't I know? I only know that his foot was injured. When did he have the operation? Old man, are you hiding it from me with him?"

"What kind of hearted child do you not know? What else can you do except make you cry and worry?"

"You, you—" the old lady was annoyed, but her eyes turned red after a while.Yan Zhen looked at it, and his heart shivered like a needle.

She helped Li Wan to sit down, and calmed down for her: "Mom, don't worry, let's listen to the doctor slowly."

Tu Xiao went on to say: "It should be said that there is a certain relationship. I guess Chief of Staff Gu must not have recuperated after the last operation?"

Mr. Gu's smoking hand trembled a little: "He said it's okay, and he went straight back to the division to prepare for the drill after he finished. I, I didn't stop me."

Li Wan listened, tears fell on the back of Yan Zhen's hand that was supporting her.

Yan Zhen clenched his hands, and asked Tu Xiao calmly: "Is the consequence of not recuperating serious? You, you know that he is busy with work and doesn't have so much time to recuperate."

"Of course it's very serious." Tu Xiao said decisively, "If this kind of fatigue fracture doesn't fully recover, you can't participate in any military training. Of course, Chief of Staff Gu has passed the time of recruits, and he doesn't need to practice hard every day, but even Even so, the workload is not small, not to mention that he went to the disaster area this time—" Tu Xiao stopped here, firstly because they understood her general meaning, and secondly because of Yan Zhen's complexion It was too pale, she was afraid that if she said something else, this woman would faint directly!
After a depressing silence, Mr. Gu said, "Then how to treat this disease? Does your hospital have a plan?"

"The director means that the operation should be performed first. After the operation, you will have to recuperate for a few months." Tu Xiao paused at this point, "This is the best solution, but it requires the cooperation of the chief of staff."

There was another silence.It stands to reason that this is the best solution, but no one can make this decision for him in the first place, because that person has never said stubborn words, but often does stubborn things.

This time it was Yan Zhen who broke the silence, she said to Tu Xiao: "Do it, as long as he can get better."

The voice is not loud, but firm.Tu Xiao smiled at her.

"Cooperate, you must cooperate!" Mr. Gu said, "If he doesn't cooperate this time, he won't be a soldier for me. The army doesn't support stubborn patients like him!"

After lying on the bed for almost two days, Gu Huaiyue finally woke up.

The family was overjoyed and immediately started arranging his rehabilitation.Gu Huaiyue was still a little confused at first, and because he was accompanied by his wife, Chief of Staff Gu, a stubborn patient, felt that it was pretty good to recover from his injuries at first.But when he took a look at the treatment plan, his brows that hadn't been wrinkled for a long time frowned again.

Doctor Tu Jun leaned on the side with his hands in his pockets, a little gloating, while looking at the chief's worried expression, while looking at Yan Zhen who was hardworking mopping the floor.Since she said that keeping the ventilation and cleanliness in the ward is good for the "patients", this woman has been cleaning every day!
"I have a question for you." She leaned in front of Yan Zhen, and Yan Zhen looked up at her, a little puzzled, "Now that you have taken care of the housework, are you preparing for the inconvenience of the chief of staff in the future? "

Yan Zhen couldn't help but stare. After getting along these few days, she is also familiar with Tu Xiao. She knows that this girl likes to joke when she has nothing to do, and she can't take it seriously: "Doctor Tu, how can anyone curse their own patients like that?"

Tu Xiao smiled: "Just frowning at his brow, I think it's coming soon."

The military doctor would only disturb the morale of the army, Yan Zhen kicked her out with a mop.After rinsing the mop, he came back and found that the chief was still sitting on the head of the bed staring at the treatment plan in a daze.

"Don't look at it." Yan Zhen said.

"Huh?" Gu Huaiyue looked up.

"I agreed for you." Yan Zhen leaned on a mop, looked at him and said, "I said that I will be the master for you, and the old man also agreed, saying that the army does not support stubborn patients like you. So, I will take care of you for you." After thinking about it comprehensively, I think it’s better to agree.”

When she said this, her expression was very serious, but Chief of Staff Gu felt that she was happy in her heart.Pressing him so that he has nothing to say and has to agree to make her happy like this?

Gu Huaiyue coughed twice, and waved to her: "Come here."

"What are you doing?" Yan Zhen looked at him warily. Now she has to learn from Commander Gu's firm revolutionary spirit and cannot compromise.

Seeing her appearance, Gu Huaiyue couldn't help but smile: "Come here, I want to hug you."

Sugar-coated cannonballs!In her mind, little friend Gu Jiaming suddenly jumped out to warn her.She has to hold on!Hold on!Quite - can't hold back!Seeing his gentle smile, Teacher Yan moved over step by step, and Chief of Staff Gu successfully hugged the beauty back.

Yan Zhen stroked his hair, and while spurning himself from the bottom of his heart, he said to him in a commanding tone: "Well, surgery must be done. Rest and recuperation must also be kept up, and there must be no moisture in the time."

"I didn't say no surgery, but the recuperation time, isn't it a bit long." The chief of staff tried to discuss with his interim chief.

Yan Zhen waved his hand: "There is no discussion!"

"Yan Zhen—"

"It's useless if you call my name a thousand or ten thousand times."

"Wife." He relaxed his tone, and slowly tightened the hand holding her waist, but the person above his head remained unmoved.

"You, it's useless for you to act like a baby!" After finishing speaking, she took his hand away cruelly, and went out again with a rag.She will be shaken if she stays any longer, it seems that it really is impossible not to listen to the little commander.But Gu Huaiyue could only smile wryly, this beauty trick has been used, why doesn't it work?

He relaxed and lay on the bed, worrying about the ceiling.

After a while, the door of the ward was pushed open. Chief of Staff Gu thought it was Yan Zhen who had come back, and sat up from the bed as fast as he could so far, only to see a familiar man's face.This person was wearing a training uniform, leaning against the door and looking at him with a half-smile, seeing him sitting up, he raised his chin cheerfully: "Hey, the disaster relief hero is back?"

Gu Huaiyue glanced at him, but didn't speak to him. He deeply felt that the ghost of this person surnamed Shen and monkey was lingering.Shen Mengchuan was also acquainted, seeing that the host didn't invite him, he grabbed a chair and sat down. "Hey, tell me, how did you get it done like this? I heard that you were pierced by glass, and how many stitches did you need?" Shen Mengchuan looked at him, "Very good! As the saying goes, this scar is a soldier's military medal. ! Look, you immediately got another one!"

Gu Huaiyue finally gave him a straight look: "How did you get in?"

"How did what get in here?"

Gu Huaiyue looked him up and down: "You came in before the smell of cannon fodder was gone, how much disinfectant will you have to spray in the hospital after you leave?"

"Hey, don't tell me, little master, I just walked in like that."

"It is estimated that some local doctor opened the back door for you?"

Shen Houzi snorted, didn't answer his words, but took the treatment plan he put aside, and looked at it at a glance.After reading it, I couldn't help sighing: "It seems that this time I'm going to do a big surgery on you. The surgery doesn't count, and I have to rest for half a year?"

"That's why internal disagreements followed!" Gu Huaiyue sighed quietly instead of confronting him.

Shen Mengchuan looked out the window for a while, the sun was just right outside the window, and many patients' clothes and quilts were drying outside.Shen Mengchuan stared at all this, suddenly remembered something, frowned, touched his coat pocket and took out a pack of cigarettes: "I said, can I have a cigarette?"

The person lying down leisurely gave four words: "The most important place in the ward."

Shen Mengchuan had no choice but to stuff the cigarette back: "Then I'll go out and smoke." Walking to the door, Shen Mengchuan paused again, then turned around and said, "There is something I forgot to tell you, and now I suddenly remembered it."

"What's the matter?" Gu Huaiyue looked at him.

Shen Mengchuan scratched his hair: "I don't remember clearly. About two days ago, I suddenly received a call from a local doctor that day. Guess what she asked me?"

"what?"

"She said that there was a woman beside her who was washing some old clothes while crying until the Yellow River burst its embankment. She asked me what to do. I said at the time that I didn't know. Now I leave this question to you. You don't always Are you smarter than me, now you want the answer."

It was probably the second day after Gu Huaiyue was admitted to the hospital, Yan Zhen asked Tu Xiao to get back the camouflage jacket he was wearing when he brought him to the hospital.The trousers were completely ruined, but the top was intact.Tu Xiao found her coat full of doubts, but watched the woman carrying a basin to the sink to wash it off with a look of disbelief!I was crying while washing, because there was too much blood on it, and it couldn't be cleaned at all.

Gu Huaiyue was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't speak for a long time. It wasn't until Shen Mengchuan closed the door and left that he recovered from the sound, and made a self-deprecating smile at the closed door.

smart people?He has never really been a smart person.

Well, just do it this time.

"Really agree?"

In the ward, Yan Zhen looked at him in disbelief.

Gu Huaiyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and scratched her nose: "Dare I lie to you?" She cried like that.

Yan Zhen chuckled: "You wait, I'll tell Tu Xiao."

As soon as I heard that Gu Huaiyue was relieved, the hospital immediately began to make corresponding arrangements. However, since the wound will take some time to recover, the date of the operation cannot be fixed soon.

Considering that the old man and the old lady could not live in Mayor B, Gu Huaiyue persuaded them to go back, leaving only Yan Zhen here to accompany him.The old lady didn't want to, but after thinking about it, it was really inconvenient, so she went home with all the instructions, and came back when Gu Huaiyue had surgery.

Gu Huaiyue originally wanted Yan Zhen to go back with the elders, but Yan Zhen insisted on staying with him.He knew what she was thinking, and he also knew that her staying here would reassure the elders, so he didn't force it anymore.In fact, if he was not afraid that she would work too hard, he would like to see her all the time.

The wound on the leg took almost half a month before the stitches were removed. Yan Zhen leaned over to look at the newly formed wound, and was a little worried: "This, will it leave a scar?"

"The wound is so deep, it's difficult not to let it fall." Tu Xiao glanced at it, wiped the medicine for him, and suddenly heard the owner of this leg cough twice on top of her head.Tu Xiao raised his head and received a warning look.Tu Xiao blinked, feeling that he was still afraid that his wife would be worried.Wanting to understand this point, the native army doctor smiled, lifted up his trouser legs and said to Yan Zhen: "It's okay, military medal!"

Gu Huaiyue was helpless: "It's really a pair of firecrackers, even the words are so consistent."

Tu Xiao immediately realized who he was talking about, glared at him, and blushed involuntarily.In fact, Gu Huaiyue didn't know much about the matter between her and Shen Mengchuan, but when he was in the military academy, he saw this girl came to look for Shen Mengchuan, and it was rumored in the whole team that the two were childhood sweethearts.

Yan Zhen looked at Tu Xiao interestingly, and changed the topic: "Then can the operation time be set?"

"Almost, I will arrange this." Tu Xiao smiled, showing a row of big white teeth.

Yan Zhen smiled: "I'm sorry to trouble you."

After seeing off Dr. Tu, Yan Zhen came over, stared at his legs for a moment, and then squatted down.Gu Huaiyue thought she was looking at the scar again, so he hurriedly said, "It's okay, it's not that you've lost your appearance, so don't worry about it."

"I know." She muttered, "I'll fix your trousers."

Gu Huaiyue didn't stop her anymore, and while looking at the hair on the top of her head, she heard her ask: "When did it start hurting?"

"Huh?" He didn't seem to hear clearly.

"I mean your feet, when did they start hurting?"

"It doesn't hurt." He said lightly, and after being stared at by her, he changed his words with a smile, "Actually, I don't know. At first, I thought I could bear it. If it hurts a little more, I can bear it. When I finally can't bear it, I will find out what happened." Big. So, I really didn't mean it."

So, according to him, he is too tolerant, right?Yan Zhen snorted: "Don't think that I will praise you like this!"

"Well, I didn't point at you to praise me." He pulled her up and put her on his lap.

Yan Zhen was taken aback: "Be careful of your injuries!"

"It's okay." He muttered vaguely, put his head on her shoulder and smiled lowly, "Yan Zhen, can I ask for normal treatment? I can still complete such simple routine actions."

Yan Zhen calmed down, held his shoulders, and was both angry and funny: "Who made you scare me!"

He hugged her and sighed: "You are too nervous." Since he was injured until now, she has been tense, afraid that if there is anything wrong with him, he will feel tired for her watching him. "Take it easy, huh?" As if coaxing a child as old as Gu Jiaming, he turned her face and kissed her lightly.

Her whole body relaxed, she unconsciously moved towards his arms, and someone who was very good at seizing the moment also abducted her into his arms, raised her chin and kissed her down.

Yan Zhen was almost taken aback by him again, the kiss came too fast and eagerly, she was a little at a loss.He also felt that he had forgotten something, and he was still struggling, but when he reached out, he could only grab his collar, and instead brought him to himself.She was a little ashamed at once, but she didn't dare to let go of her hand for fear of losing support.Gu Huaiyue saw her tossing around, smiled faintly, put her arms around her waist and changed her sitting position.

This time Yan Zhen was even more ashamed.He, he actually let her sit on him with her legs spread apart!
"No!" She subconsciously wanted to go down, but he stopped her.

"Don't move." The words sprinkled in her ears were almost whispered, and when she lost her mind, he took control of her.He forced her to loosen her teeth, hooked her soft tongue and kissed her wantonly, clasped her waist with both hands and straightened it into his arms, as if a hidden force was ready to go.

She didn't know where to swing her legs and feet, and could only make a muffled sound under his restraint. Just as she was pushing him feebly, there was a clear knock on the door.Yan Zhen immediately regained consciousness, while Gu Huaiyue remained unmoved, and held her tightly to prevent her from moving.

"Open, open the door..."

"in spite of!"

As if he was sincerely against him, the door suddenly opened from the outside as soon as he finished saying these two words.He frowned slightly, and looked towards the door impatiently, but the two people he saw made him startled.Similarly, the two people outside the door stared at them blankly with wide-eyed eyes!

There was only one person who could still turn his head, Yan Zhen turned his head slightly, but when he saw those two people, he wanted to find a hole to bury himself!

It turned out to be Gu Jiaming and grandma!
There was an awkward silence in the room, but after all, Jiang was still old and spicy. Among the four people, grandma was the first to recover, and coughed twice: "Ahem, it seems, it seems that we came at the wrong time."

Chief of Staff Gu also reacted quickly, and was able to smile at grandma, making it hard to see the embarrassment. Seeing a thin-skinned person still acting stupid, Gu Huaiyue couldn't help but smile: "Yan Zhen, grandma is here."

It's really not a hallucination, Yan Zhen whimpered, got off his body with his hair straight, and looked at grandma and the children with a flushed face: "Grandma, you guys, you are here."

Grandma smiled at her and said, "Well, I'm here early, I've been standing here for a long time."

Yan Zhen lowered his head even more, and secretly glared at Gu Huaiyue again.Gu has a very thick skin, even in this way, he can calmly take the things from grandma's hands, welcome them in, and by the way lift the collar of Gu Jiaming's child's back shirt.The kid seemed to have been greatly shocked, staring at Gu Huaiyue.Yan Zhen had no choice but to rescue the child from Gu Huaiyue's grasp, straightening his clothes while asking grandma, "Why didn't you call before you came?"

Grandma snorted: "If I call you, maybe you don't want me to come here, and don't tell me such a big thing!" She said and looked at Gu Huaiyue: "How is the injury, is it serious? I listen Your mother said that you need an operation, and you have to have an operation if you cut a hole in the glass?"

After a while, the explanation was not clear, Gu Huaiyue simply said: "It's not a major operation, it's not that serious."

"Oh, that's good." Grandma nodded, "After hearing what your mother said about the situation, I thought it would be a mess for you to come a few days earlier."

Gu Huaiyue smiled lightly: "I made you worry."

The child looked at Yan Zhen who was squatting in front of him with his hands behind his back, with a serious expression on his face.Yan Zhen glanced at him, then looked at him again, but was scared by such an older child: "What's wrong?" She asked while buttoning his clothes.

"There is a problem!" The child stared at the ceiling with a pensive expression.

"What's the problem?" Teacher Yan felt even more guilty.

Hearing this, Gu Huaiyue also came over, and flicked the little guy's forehead with his fingers.The little guy groaned: "Don't make trouble!"

Hey, this little guy, he seems to be talking about it.Gu Huaiyue and Yan Zhen looked at each other, and then lowered their heads to see the child holding his head up, with a smile shining in his bright eyes: "I finally know what I saw just now!"

Gu Huaiyue coughed lightly, knowing that he couldn't answer the words, but the child was not affected in the slightest, rolling his eyes between the two adults, he announced cheerfully: "Bobo!"

As soon as this remark came out, Chief of Staff Gu became a little uneasy, Teacher Yan covered his face in embarrassment, and grandma laughed out loud!
this little guy.

When the situation was finally under control, Yan Zhen took grandma to dinner.They were in a hurry along the way. The children brought snacks and gnawed on the road, but they were not hungry, but grandma's stomach was still empty.

In the small restaurant outside the hospital, Yan Zhen ordered a bowl of hot wontons for grandma.The thin-skinned wontons with big stuffing and warm soup are very comfortable to pour into the stomach.During Gu Huaiyue's hospitalization, Yan Zhen often came here to eat, and became acquainted with the proprietress.

After dinner, Yan Zhen walked back with grandma, and grandma sighed while letting Yan Zhen support her: "Seeing that you get along so well, I feel relieved."

Yan Zhen was a little embarrassed: "Grandma."

"He's already married, but he's still so thin-skinned." Grandma glanced at her and smiled, "Before I came, I specially asked your uncle to send me to Guyuan to meet your mother-in-law."

"Well, grandma, what are you doing?"

"Actually, I have selfish intentions. It is said that if I get a certificate, it will be settled, but I am just a granddaughter like you. I thought that I should marry you off in a good way, right? So I mentioned it to your mother-in-law. When Huai Yue gets better, find time to organize the wedding. It doesn't need to be a high specification, I just want to see you in a wedding dress." Said grandma stopped, looking at her seriously with eyes wrinkled by time, Some look forward to it and a little sad, "You looked good when you were young. When your father was around, he said, you may be so beautiful when you grow up and get married. It's a pity that he passed away early, so I can't see it. So, you have to let Grandma saw this day, so she went to explain to your father."

Yan Zhen was a little moved when he heard it, and his nose was slightly sour: "Grandma, why are you talking about this, you must live a long life!"

Grandma laughed: "The older a person is, the more resigned he is to his fate, and the older he is, the more open-minded he is. I don't mean to make you sad, I just want to hand you over to someone I can trust."

Yan Zhen calmed down his emotions: "Don't worry, grandma. Mom, she is more anxious than you. You don't know that she has been taking me to see the wedding dress a few days ago, and it has already been ordered. If it wasn't for—"

If he hadn't gone to the disaster area, perhaps the date would have been set long ago.If he hadn't been injured, perhaps their wedding would have been over long ago.

Grandma naturally understood, looked at her and smiled gratifiedly: "I know that Xiao Gu's injury will take some time to heal. If you don't say that I'm worried, I won't ask. The main reason is that Xiao Zhen didn't let me down, you The mother-in-law said that they are much more relaxed with you here, you don't know how happy I am to hear this." At the end, grandma was a little choked up, and Yan Zhen couldn't help holding her hand.

Yan Zhen knew that grandma's love for Gu Huaiyue was mostly due to the regrets her father had left for her.When her father was a soldier, he was actually very busy and didn't have much time to be with her.Her father has always felt indebted to her, and always accompanied her when he was free, and even bought her sweets.At that time, Yan Zhen's favorite candy was the white rabbit, the rich milky aroma melted in his mouth, it was indescribably sweet.She always felt that it was good for them to depend on each other for life, until her father fell seriously ill once.

My father was lying on the bed in pain, unable to move.She watched her grandma holding a towel and chanting distressedly while wiping her father's sweat. When his mind was lost, his father actually regarded grandma as another person, took her hand and called her name in a low voice.

That was the first time Yan Zhen heard that person's name. She had never heard her father call someone so painfully, and kept saying sorry.He didn't settle down until he was crying about his grandma and whipped him with a towel, and fell asleep in a daze after drinking the medicine.

Later she asked grandma who it was, but grandma vaguely refused to say.But in fact, she probably guessed it at that time. Before her grandma and her father knew about it, she had seen a picture of a strange woman in her father's photo album. She was very beautiful, with a faint melancholy in her eyes.It's just that Yan Zhen never knew her name, and there was not a single word left in the photo. If her father hadn't read her name in a coma, Yan Zhen might never have known it.

Suddenly grandma held her hand instead, Yan Zhen came back to his senses, and heard grandma say: "Did I push you too hard when you married Xiao Gu?"

Yan Zhen was a little ashamed to admit it, so he simply stopped talking.Grandma sighed: "Actually, I knew it in my heart, and I didn't expect you to bring back a marriage partner so soon. After you told me that day, my heart was pounding. I didn't know until I saw Xiao Gu. It’s really strange to say that you’re so relieved.”

Yan Zhen thought it was funny: "That's because you were influenced by your father, thinking that people in military uniforms are good people."

Grandma gave her a slap: "As you said, there are so many soldiers, I didn't marry you to anyone. I can't stop the fate if I want to. You see, you are doing well now, just now—"

Before finishing speaking, Yan Zhen reached out and covered grandma's mouth, angrily said: "Grandma, why are you like Jia Ming!"

Grandma is not surprised: "What's the matter with Jia Ming? That's still attractive."

Saying that, he shook off her and walked forward. Yan Zhen was anxious behind, stamped his feet, and followed.

Because of the pistachio of little friend Gu Jiaming, Gu Huaiyue's ward became much more lively.It stands to reason that the little guy is very likable everywhere, but after he came to the hospital, he was particularly at odds with Doctor Tu Xiaotu, bickering and quarreling all day long, which seemed to be a special sight.

On this day, Yan Zhen got up early and went out to buy fruit with his grandma, so Gu Huaiyue sat on the bedside and flipped through the newspaper while watching the big and small bickering at the end of the bed.

"You're cheating! You're regretting the game!" The kid blushed and looked at Military Doctor Tu Xiaotu angrily.

Military doctor Tu said triumphantly: "Little friend, if you are not good at tactics, you can't blame the enemy for making your dumplings. It's a big taboo for military strategists to lose sight of the other. Learn from your father. Your father is still a 'chief of staff'. Where are your thoughts? went!"

"You're cheating!" Facing Dr. Tu who was also talking one after another, the child was at a loss for words for the first time in his life, and looked pitifully at Gu Huaiyue "asking for fire support".Gu Huaiyue would definitely ignore it in normal times, but not this time.Doctor Tu's words just now clearly damaged the father and son's "both prosperity and prosperity".

He put down the newspaper and glanced at Tu Xiao: "Jia Ming just learned how to play chess, can't you let him?"

Tu Xiaohuang waved a finger to express his refusal: "I am teaching him about setbacks. If you don't stand up in failure, you have to sacrifice in failure."

It seemed quite reasonable, Gu Huaiyue silently put away the newspaper, and walked towards the battlefield where they were fighting with his hands behind his back.He kicked the kid's little butt, and the kid immediately hugged his leg: "Chief, beat her!"

"Father and son soldiers?" Tu Xiao thoughtfully while arranging the chess game, "How about we make a bet?"

Gu Huaiyue signaled her to continue with his eyes, and Tu Xiao immediately looked at Gu Jiaming with bright eyes: "Lend me your kid to play for two days, and bring it home to my old man and old lady, they talk about their grandson every day .”

The kid gave him a vigilant look, and then immediately grabbed Gu Huaiyue's clothes with tears in his eyes. The chief of staff pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Alright."

Hearing this, Tu Xiao was immediately overwhelmed with excitement, while the children were so frightened that their eyes widened.Gu Huaiyue glanced at the two of them, smiled lightly and said, "As long as you're not afraid that your uncle and aunt will push you harder, I don't care."

Doctor Tu suddenly became sluggish, and he lost his energy in playing chess.She was not very good at chess, and she played against the children in half a catty, so she was useless when she met someone who was good at arranging troops.Tu Xiao pushed the chessboard irritably: "No more."

"what happened?"

Tu Xiao pawed at her short hair that had just been cut: "Annoying."

Gu Huaiyue laughed, it seemed that she and that monkey from the Shen family were really a pair, even the small movements were exactly the same: "The person who annoys you is not here, you are not in the right mood."

Tu Xiao glared at him, but really couldn't refute it.

This is what annoys her, she is annoyed when she sees Shen Houzi, and even more annoyed when she can't see him.She was so annoyed that she scratched her head and stood up: "Stop playing, go to work!" As she spoke, pinching the child's face, she was stared at and left with her head drooping.

Gu Huaiyue stared at the door that was slammed shut by Tu Xiao for a while, then smiled faintly, then turned to look at the child: "How is it? Have you relieved your anger?"

Seeing Doctor Tu's disheveled face, the kid smiled very triumphantly, Gu Huaiyue flicked his little head, and looked at him with lowered eyebrows: "This is called hitting a snake and hitting seven inches, it's a matter of tactics. You have to wait until you grow up." Only then can we understand."

The kid pouted, and before he could utter a rebuttal, he heard three knocks on the door.Gu Huaiyue raised his chin and motioned for him to open the door.

The kid ran to the outside door to open the door. When the door opened, the person he saw made him blink his eyes and asked softly, "Who are you?"

The people standing outside the door did not expect that it would be this little guy who opened the door, they lowered their heads and looked at the kid's big eyes that were rolling around for a while before recovering: "My kid, is your father there? "

Gu Jiaming blinked again: "Who are you, you want to find my father."

"I..." The man straightened his hair, not knowing how to answer this question.

"Jia Ming." Just as the two of them stared wide-eyed, Gu Huaiyue's voice came from far and near.As he walked towards the outside room, he said: "What's going on, I asked you to open the door for a long time..."

The child pouted: "Dad, it's none of my business, it's her—"

Following the little guy's line of sight, Gu Huaiyue couldn't help but be a little surprised to see someone coming, it turned out to be Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi straightened up in embarrassment, stroked her hair a little, and showed a decent smile: "Didn't disturb your rest?"

Gu Huaiyue smiled lightly and let Jiang Yi into the room: "No, please come in."

Jiang Yi nodded with a smile and walked in.Gu Huaiyue turned around and rubbed the child's head: "Go and play with Aunt Tu Xiao."

The kid didn't want to go, but looked at Jiang Yi with inexplicable resistance.I had no choice but to pouted my mouth and went to seek military doctor Tu.

Gu Huaiyue poured a cup of tea for Jiang Yi, and Jiang Yi took it halfway up: "Don't be so troublesome, I'm here to see how your condition is."

Gu Huaiyue slowly sat down beside him: "It's nothing serious, it's almost fine."

"That's what you said, but you can hurt your muscles and bones for a hundred days, and you still have to raise them. You have only a few days off in a year as a soldier. Now you have the right to take a big vacation."

Gu Huaiyue smiled: "You are right, but I feel a little sorry for making you worry about me."

"It's okay, Dad Jiaojiao told your dad that he is also an old comrade-in-arms. When I heard Meng Chuan mention your injury, let me come over and take a look." Jiang Yi said, opened the tea cover and drank a sip of tea thoughtfully .In fact, she turned a corner. Although Shen Yiming had this intention, it was her daughter who really prompted her to come here.Shen Mengjiao was also very worried when she heard the news of his injury, but she couldn't come here in person because of her feelings, so she had to ask her mother to come.

Jiang Yi put down her teacup and looked around: "Is the little guy here alone with you at home?"

Gu Huaiyue shook his head: "Yan Zhen stay here with me, the little guy just came here today with Grandma Yan Zhen, and he will go back in two days."

Yan Zhen, his second wife.For some reason, as soon as Jiang Yi mentioned this person's name, she immediately thought of her face. It was delicate and soft, and she should be a person with a gentle temperament.

"That's not bad." Jiang Yi said, "Jiaojiao heard that you were injured, and wanted to come and see you, but you know, she's working in City C now, and she's quite busy."

"Meng Jiao is working in City C now?"

Gu Huaiyue obviously just heard about it, Jiang Yi opened her mouth and asked back, "You don't know yet?"

She thought that Yan Zhen would tell him everything.After all, it was her job that Jiaojiao was robbing at the beginning, and the means were not too open and above board.

Gu Huaiyue shook his head, apologized with a faint smile, "It was my negligence, and I will treat Meng Jiao to dinner when I return to City C to make amends."

"No need, no need." Jiang Yi quickly waved her hands, her expression somewhat unnatural.

Because I don't see each other often, I can't help being a bit cold after I finish this polite speech.Just at this time, a clear and clear child's voice suddenly came from the corridor outside the door, and Gu Huaiyue smiled when he heard it.

"It's the little guy, I should have seen Yan Zhen and grandma."

Jiang Yi also stood up and smiled slightly: "They are back? Then I can just meet them."

As she spoke, she followed Gu Huaiyue and walked out, but just as she stepped out of the ward door and looked at the person walking towards her, Jiang Yi's footsteps stopped in place.She took a deep breath from the bottom of her heart, and looked at the person walking across in amazement.

Gu Huaiyue hadn't noticed Jiang Yi's strangeness, and walked forward slowly to catch the fruit that Yan Zhen bought, but she dodged it: "I'll get it."

In this posture, he still treats him as a patient.

Gu Huaiyue was helpless, pointing to the big and small bags she carried and asked, "Why do you buy so many?"

"Supplement vitamins." Yan Zhen smiled at her, "Jia Ming said that there is a guest, who is it?"

"It's Meng Jiao's mother, Aunt Shen."

After finishing speaking, Yan Zhen's face turned pale, and the apples in his hand fell off, and the red apples bounced in the corridor like beads that had been unthreaded.

Yan Zhen didn't care to pick it up, and turned to look at grandma, but grandma also froze in place, staring blankly at Jiang Yi who was not far away.Gu Huaiyue was keenly aware of something, sent the children to pick up apples, and held Yan Zhen's shoulder: "What's wrong?"

"I, I—" Looking into his eyes, Yan Zhen tried to calm down, "I'm fine, it's just, it's just grandma..."

Speaking of Yan Zhen, she felt that grandma's body was leaning backwards, as if she couldn't stand firmly.Seeing grandma's pale face and sudden rapid breathing, Gu Huaiyue frowned slightly: "I'll help grandma in, you go and call the doctor."

Seeing that she was still in a daze, Gu Huaiyue lowered his voice again: "Yan Zhen."

Yan Zhen suddenly came back to his senses, and after saying "yes", he turned around and quickly went to find Tu Xiao.Jiang Yi, who had been standing there, seemed to be holding her breath so that her existence could not be noticed. After Gu Huaiyue helped her grandma into the room, she came back slowly, took a deep breath, and her temples throbbed violently.

meet again.

After more than 20 years, we meet again.
