The group had no choice but to follow behind.

The male comrade didn't say anything, but the female comrade walked very slowly.

What should have been a half-hour journey took them an hour to reach their destination.

The brigade leader led them to the courtyard of the educated youth settlement.

"This is the educated youth compound. You can find your own place to live. If there aren't enough rooms, you can squeeze in. If you want to build your own house, you can pay for it yourself. The team will find someone to build it, and you'll have to pay for the labor yourself."

Liang Weiwei went inside and looked at the dormitory environment, and she frowned.

"Captain, is there someone here named Zhang Qiang?"

The captain nodded: "They haven't come back yet; they went home to visit their families!"

"You guys figure it out yourselves!"

"Zhang Zhiqing, you take them inside!"

There were only the three of them in the house, and they were quite comfortable living there.

But with three of them showing up at once, how could they possibly be in a good mood?

Therefore, Yu Lili, Yang Laidi, and Zhang Hongmei all looked unwell.

However, since the captain has said so, we should accept them.

Zhang Hongmei led the three people into the house.

He said, “Hurry up and pack your things, then go to the brigade headquarters to get your food. When the new educated youth first arrive, they borrow food from the brigade and return it after it’s been distributed. Otherwise, you won’t have any food.”

"Once you have received your grain, hand over your rations. We have already eaten lunch, and we will have dinner together tonight."

Everyone nodded.

Zhang Qiang and Lin Mengmeng have already boarded the train.

He was unaware that Liang Weiwei was already waiting for him at the educated youth settlement.

Hospital.

Huo Jianguo is getting better every day.

Huo Junshan felt that they could be discharged today, since they would be recuperating here or at home anyway.

Moreover, with the spiritual spring water present, Huo Jianguo will only recover even better.

He didn't want to wait until tomorrow.

They went to ask the doctor, "Doctor, we'd like to be discharged today. Do you think we can go home today?"

The doctor came over to check on Huo Jianguo's condition and said, "It won't make a difference if you stay one more day or two. Go back if you want!"

"The only thing is that once you go back, you can't get out of bed, you can't walk, and you can't do any work. You have to stay in bed and rest."

Huo Junshan nodded.

When he returned to the ward, he said, "Brother, we're going back today. I'll go find Yang Dasheng to borrow a car first. You wait here. I'll come back later to pack my things, and then we'll go back."

Huo Jianguo nodded.

Huo Junshan parked outside for half an hour, then drove the car back from a secluded spot.

He first went to complete the discharge procedures and paid more than fifty yuan before going to the ward.

Let's go!

He gathered his clothes and other belongings together and then spoke to Huo Jianguo.

He picked Huo Jianguo up, but since his legs were like that, he couldn't carry him on his back, so he could only carry him in a princess carry.

Huo Jianguo was a little embarrassed: "Third brother, why don't you put me down and help me? I can walk slowly on one foot by myself."

Huo Junshan: "I told you to walk by yourself, how long have you been walking?"

Huo Jianguo stopped talking and carried Huo Jianguo to the back seat.

"Sit down, hold onto the seats in front of you, let's go."

Huo Junshan drove very slowly, afraid that Huo Jianguo's legs would hurt.

Huo Jianguo asked from behind, "Third brother, how much did it cost for my leg in total?"

"Three hundred and fifty-six."

He hasn't even factored in the cost of baby formula and malted milk powder.

Huo Jianguo sighed. He couldn't earn that much money even if he worked on the farm for ten years.

"Third brother, I will definitely pay you back!"

Huo Junshan laughed and said, "No need, Mother took two hundred, I only contributed a little over one hundred."

He then asked, "Brother, what are your thoughts on your relationship with your sister-in-law? Do you really want to live like this for the rest of your life?"

"As the saying goes, 'A virtuous wife brings no misfortune to her husband.' Your leg injury was caused by your sister-in-law."

Huo Jianguo sighed, "I already have three children. Do you expect me to get a divorce? But if I do, who will take care of them? Besides, they would be so pitiful if they lost their mother!"

Huo Junshan stopped trying to persuade him; he needed to think things through for himself.

No matter what others say, it's useless.

The two chatted casually like that.

It took almost two hours to get home!

The sound of a car stopped in front of the Huo family's house.

It attracted a lot of people.

Watching Huo Junshan get off the car.

Aunt Niu Er laughed and said, "Third brother, where are you? You got this car, it's really nice!"

Huo Junshan: "My brother's leg is not convenient, so I borrowed a friend's car and will deliver it to him in a bit."

After he finished speaking, he went to the other side, picked up Huo Jianguo, and carried him into the yard.

Aunt Niu Er looked at Huo Jianguo's legs and said, "Oh dear, this eldest brother has suffered a lot. Go back and rest! I'll watch the car for you here."

Huo Junshan nodded and carried Huo Jianguo back into the house.

Li Xiangyun didn't expect to come back today.

She hurried over to help the eldest son make his bed.

Wang Cuihong was playing with her two children in the yard.

When she saw Huo Jianguo return, her eyes turned red.

"Jianguo, how's your leg?"

Huo Jianguo forced a smile: "It's nothing."

Huo Junshan said irritably, "Give it back." What are you standing there for? Go tidy up the house.

Wang Cuihong hurriedly went inside to tidy up the kang (a heated brick bed).

They didn't have a bed in their room, only a kang (a heated brick bed).

There was only a straw mat on the kang (heated brick bed), which was used in the summer.

Huo Junshan put Huo Jianguo on the kang (a heated brick bed): "You rest! I've put the milk powder and malted milk powder here for you. Ask your sister-in-law to make it for you whenever you want. I'll go return the car later and buy you two pounds of bones so you can nourish yourself."
