Zhang Xudong looked constipated after hearing what Captain He said. He thought he should go buy a pair of crutches.

This is a negotiation on a completely different level. They measure this matter in hundreds and thousands.

But I don't even have the confidence to do this in units of tens.

I'm convinced. A father-in-law is a father-in-law. Just because you kidnapped his daughter doesn't mean you can be on par with him.

"Uncle He, you heard wrong. It's not 300 rounds, it's 30 rounds."

"Okay kid, twenty rounds of ammunition are enough for you to pay them back, why do you need so many?

No matter how much of this stuff there is, one person will be full after eating one, and any more would be a waste."

Zhang Xudong: That seems to be the case, but something doesn’t seem right?

Did you take a sheep just to find out how many bullets a person needs to be full?

Zhang Xudong walked out of the military family compound in a daze.

It seems like I promised to come here for lunch at noon.

I seem to have promised to bring two bottles of wine when I come at noon.

I seem to have promised to bring two dishes from the commune canteen when I come at noon.

It seemed that Captain He had promised to give him twenty bullets at noon.

It seems like the goal has been achieved, but something is still wrong.

Zhang Xudong entered the hospital before 8 a.m. He put on his white coat and walked into Grandpa Zheng's ward with high spirits.

"Grandpa, I'm here to see you. How did you sleep last night?" Zhang Xudong greeted the old man as soon as he entered the ward.

"Last night, I had a nightmare. I dreamed of a jerk falling headfirst from a cliff.

He fell to the ground and was beaten into a sieve by someone with a crooked handle.

My big brother who had sacrificed many years pointed at me and scolded me, where have you been all these years?

How could you not even protect a little kid? Is it that after I'm gone, you won't even care about my only grandson?

I was so embarrassed that I wanted to find a hole to crawl into. I didn't even have the courage to look up at my older brother.

"That feeling is worse than a knife stabbing my heart. Do you think I can sleep well?" Mr. Zheng stared at Zhang Xudong and said.

"Um, Grandpa Zheng, who's so talkative? Why are you telling me everything? No, I'm saying I won't be reckless anymore. I'll study hard and not make you worry."

Zhang Xudong touched his nose and made a promise to the old man obediently.

Looking at Dean Lu and Doctor Zhao, both of whom had expressions that said they deserved to be scolded, Zhang Xudong felt a little depressed.

Is my popularity so bad? Why doesn't anyone say anything good about me?

Zhang Xudong had to work very hard to coax the old man into the operating room.

The operation was not over until after eleven o'clock. Zhang Xudong gave Grandma Zheng some instructions on what to pay attention to, left the postoperative recovery to Dr. Zhao, and hurriedly left the hospital.

Zhang Xudong looked at his watch. It was already past half past eleven. He had no time to go to the state-owned canteen to buy vegetables, so he secretly put some cucumbers, eggplants and beans in his backpack.

I took five bottles of Erguotou without labels and put them in the backpack. I can't just buy two bottles if someone wants two.

If you don't try to please Old He now, you'll have plenty of opportunities to eat pickles in the future.

Zhang Xudong hurried to the He family before twelve o'clock, so it was not too rude.

The gate to the He family's courtyard was wide open, and as Zhang Xudong entered the courtyard, he heard a lot of talking and noise coming from the house. There must be quite a few people in the house.

As soon as Zhang Xudong knocked on the door, it was opened immediately.

The person who opened the door was a tall, burly, dark-skinned man in his early forties, wearing a military uniform.

When he saw Zhang Xudong, his eyes suddenly lit up and he slapped Zhang Xudong on the shoulder, causing the unprepared Zhang Xudong to shake.

The rough guy laughed heartily when he saw this and said to Zhang Xudong, "Well, you're a real man, not a coward, for not letting me, Old Cheng, slap you down. You'll just follow me from now on, what do you think, kid?"

Before Zhang Xudong could open his mouth, he heard Aunt He's loud voice shouting:

"Cheng Daniu, if you dare to hurt my son-in-law, be careful or I'll tear your house apart. If you don't want to eat, just go back home."

"Sister-in-law, I didn't use my full strength. I was just checking for my niece. Look, this kid is strong and not broken."

Cheng Daniu immediately explained honestly.

Aunt He glanced at him, then immediately pulled Zhang Xudong into the house with a smile on her face.

"Dongzi, why are you back so late? Are you busy at work?"

"It's okay, Auntie. I just performed surgery on Grandpa Zheng this morning and it took a long time, so I came late." Zhang Xudong explained quickly.

Zhang Xudong looked at the stewed chicken pieces, fried pork slices, three or five pieces of lamb stewed with potatoes, and a bowl of fried tofu and fried shredded potatoes on the table.

Looking at the nine strong men in green military uniforms sitting huddled together around the table, Zhang Xudong hurriedly took something out of his backpack.

"Auntie, these are cucumbers, beans, and eggplants that one of my patients gave me. Please take the trouble to prepare them and add two more dishes for the uncles and aunts."

"You little rascal, you're so capable that you're accepting gifts before anything happens?" Captain He said with a dark face.

"Uncle He, please don't misunderstand me. I couldn't refuse, so I gave him the money. I gave him three dollars for this dish, and I didn't let him suffer any loss.

Don't worry, we can do nothing wrong! Here's some wine for you."

Zhang Xudong explained to Captain He while taking out the wine.

Captain He then said with satisfaction: "Good boy, you didn't disappoint me. Only when we are open and honest in our work can we stand tall and straight!
