Xia Enruo and Yuan Qiang accompanied Gu Shaoxuan to the hospital to have the steel plate and nails removed from his leg.

He stayed home for more than half a month and fully recovered, then returned to his unit to work.

Lu Zhenhua was very happy to see Gu Shaoxuan return to work looking plump and healthy, his capable assistant fully recharged.

No, it should be that I'm more energetic than before!

"Shaoxuan, you're quite something. I was really worried you'd come back weak and frail, like you'd fall over at the slightest push, but it seems you're even more energetic now."

"Commander Lu, I'm sorry to make you laugh. I've gained a lot of weight compared to before, and it's time for me to lose some weight."

Gu Shaoxuan stayed at home for several months, and when he returned to the army, it was early winter. Winters in the Northwest are still very cold.

"You've just recovered, so there's no rush to lose weight. You can start next spring."

Gu Shaoxuan met Ding Haotian at the regimental headquarters. He looked much more haggard, probably because he had divorced Qiao Huizhen and was not living a happy life as before.

"Old Ding, how are you recovering?"

When Ding Haotian saw Gu Shaoxuan, he felt a little guilty, after all, Qiao Huizhen had done a lot of bad things and had bullied Xia Enruo a lot.

He learned these things gradually later on.

"Old Gu, I'm really sorry. I listened to Qiao Huizhen's advice on many things in the past."

I wronged Xia, causing you two to quarrel. Now that I think about it, I'm not even human.

Ding Haotian felt a lump in his throat; he didn't know how to face his comrades.

"Alright. Why keep bringing up the past? I know you're not doing well either. You and your wife are divorced, so what about the child?"

"I sent Xiaohuzi back to my mother's place. I can't take care of him alone in the army."

Qiao Huizhen didn't want the child at all, let alone take care of him. She hasn't even visited the child once since the divorce.

Gu Shaoxuan felt that Ding Haotian had a really tough time. Before the mission, everyone envied him for having a good wife, but now everyone knew that Qiao Huizhen was a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Ding Haotian lost face and felt bad in front of his comrades.

"Don't worry. Your aunt will take good care of you. Don't dwell on unpleasant things now that they're over. You have to look forward."

Gu Shaoxuan now rushes home as soon as he gets off work. After being away from Xia Enruo for a day, he always feels like something is missing.

Even Yuan Qiang couldn't stand it anymore.

"Old Gu, you've fallen ill with lovesickness. Every time it's almost time to get off work, you get distracted and anxiously wait for me to go back to the city together."

What's wrong? Your sister-in-law has bewitched you.

Yuan Qiang felt that Gu Shaoxuan had changed a lot before and after his injury. In the past, he would only go back to the city if there was a meeting at the military region, but now he would rush back as soon as he got off work.

"You little rascal, you really have no sense of propriety when it comes to your words, especially now that it's winter..."

The days are getting shorter, and I'm really worried about your sister-in-law walking around at night, running back and forth every day.

Every afternoon when Gu Shaoxuan got home, the first thing he did was to accompany Xia Enruo at the entrance of the medical university, and then he would take Xia Enruo home with him.

He was afraid something might happen on the way, after all, his wife was so beautiful, what if she encountered bad people?

"Alright, alright, I guess I misjudged your good intentions. But it's only right that you treat your sister-in-law well. Without her, you wouldn't have recovered so well."

"By the way, how are things going with Mao Xiangling? Your sister-in-law said she's a very nice girl, so you shouldn't miss out."

"Yeah, I also think she's great. I'm not trying to win her heart all the time, but she's still in school, so we can take it slow and there's no rush."

"Don't rush. There are plenty of boys in school. Don't let your guard down and let someone else get there first."

"Don't worry. I have a lot of confidence in myself."

Xia Enruo calculated the money she had earned over the past few months. After deducting costs and Ge Qiuqin's share of the profits, she now had a total of 6,318.2 yuan in cash.

This money is enough to buy a two-story street-front shop across from the medical university.

Recently, she went to the sales office and had a staff member show her around. There were two or three nice locations, but the layouts were somewhat different.

Each has its advantages and disadvantages. She has been thinking about it at home recently and still can't make up her mind.

I was thinking of going to see it again when I had time, and then paying to reserve a room.

Now that Gu Shaoxuan has returned to his unit and is not coming home for lunch, Xia Enruo is left alone at home and no longer needs to come home on time to cook.

In order to collect more clothes, she would not return until almost 2 pm.

As she rode the cart for longer periods, she became more and more adept at it, and the time she spent on the road was greatly reduced.

After selling the boxed lunches and fruit tea, she pulled her cart full of clothes back home.

Just as I was about to leave the entrance of the medical university, Zhang Guohong appeared and blocked my way.

"cousin!"

Zhang Guohong shouted.

He had bruises on his lips and cheekbones today, as if he had been in a fight, and his body was covered in dirt.

"Zhang Guohong, what do you want now?"

Xia Enru felt annoyed whenever she saw him. Every time they met, it made her feel sad, and she really didn't want to have such a relative.

"Cousin, I have something I want to tell you. Please come with me!"

"Then you can say it here. I'm listening. But when you're done, hurry up and leave. I don't have time to waste with your nonsense."

Xia Enruo didn't want to stay a minute longer.

"This isn't convenient. Let's go talk in the alley over there."

"If it's inconvenient, then don't say it. I don't have time to waste with you. Zhang Guohong, there's nothing to talk about between us. Please don't hang around in front of me again."

Xia Enruo left after saying that, and rode off on her cart.

"It's about your aunt and uncle. What? You don't even want to hear about your parents?"

Even though they brought you into this world, don't you want to know who your biological parents are?
