Chapter 66: There is a reward for every effort

Jiang Hai wanted to gloss over the issue, but when Jiang Hao pressed him, he knew he couldn't just brush it off, so he could only speak honestly, "Three, one on the stomach, two on the arms, but don't worry, they didn't hurt any vital parts, they've been stitched up now, and they'll be fine after the stitches are removed later.

As for my leg, it was hit by something that exploded from a grenade. It's a bit bone-wracking, but with proper care it should be fine. As for the promotion, it happened before the New Year."

Jiang Hao frowned and said, "Brother, you went to the battlefield, and you didn't even tell your family about such a big thing."

Jiang Hai smiled and said, "What can I say? What's there to say? If I come back alive, my family will worry for nothing. If I don't come back, you will find out sooner or later."

Seeing Jiang Hao's look of disapproval, Jiang Hai continued, "A soldier's mission is to defend the country. Haohao, I'm not only my parents' son and your brother, but I'm also the protector of the country and the people's soldier. Haohao, there are things that someone has to do."

Jiang Hao understood these principles. "Brother, you got promoted this time because you have made many contributions. Otherwise, it would be impossible for you to get this position at your age."

Jiang Hai nodded and said, "That's right. If you put in the effort, you get the reward."

Jiang Hao: "So you've been on the battlefield for several years, and this isn't the first time you've been injured."

Jiang Hai looked helpless. "Yes, it's been three years. I've suffered a lot of injuries, big and small. This time, it was because I injured my legs and hands. I was afraid that I couldn't help and would cause more trouble if I stayed there, so I came back."

Jiang Hao: "How did you send the things you sent home over the past few years, as well as the bicycle and other things you sent to me? I see the shipping address has always been the military region where you are."

Jiang Hai touched his nose and said, "The money is sent by the logistics department. Before we go to the battlefield, as long as we submit the application form to the logistics department, they will directly send the money to my hometown from my allowance.

As for things, I've applied for my monthly benefits from the logistics department and have them sent directly back home. Your bicycle was bought with the money and tickets I asked a comrade who was injured on the battlefield and returned to the army to help send it."

Jiang Hao asked all the questions he needed to ask, and he felt relieved. "Okay, I see you're in pretty good condition now. This ward is a double room, and the environment is pretty good, so I'm relieved.

It took me two days to get here by train. I just saw a guesthouse across from the military hospital. I'm going to get a room and pack up, then call home to let them know I'm safe. I'll be back soon. By the way, I'll bring you dinner tonight, so don't let the guards get you beaten."

Jiang Hai: "Okay, do you have any money?"

"Don't worry, my parents have given me everything."

After saying that, Jiang Hao took his bag and left.

Jiang Hao first went to the first floor of the hospital to borrow a phone and called the brigade.

The call was answered by Jiang Jianguo. During the days that Jiang Hao was away, Jiang Jianguo had been staying in the brigade office during the day, for fear of missing the call.

I finally received a call. After hearing that my eldest son was fine, my heart, which had been beating wildly, finally calmed down.

After Jiang Hao hung up the phone, he went to the hotel, booked a room, washed himself and changed into clean clothes.

After cleaning myself up, I didn't rush to the hospital, but instead walked around the area around the hospital.

Jiang Hao found that there were single rooms for rent behind the hospital, so he went to the hotel to check out and rented a single room.

After renting the single room, he walked around outside again, carrying a basket in his left hand and a stove in his right hand, and returned to the single room he rented.

Inside the basket was a bag of coal, three large bones, a few packets of miscellaneous seasonings, and a clay pot.

Most of the things Jiang Hao took were taken out from the space, of course a small part was bought from the supply and marketing cooperative.

After all, I have to prepare food and drinks for my brother later, so it is better to prepare these things first.

Jiang Hao spent an hour and a half simmering the bone soup in the single room he rented. This bone soup was not simple at all. It contained not only ginseng slices but also a few drops of body repair medicine. It could be called a tonic bone soup.

Jiang Hao poured the bone soup into a basin and covered it with a lid. He then removed the meat from the bones and mixed it with vinegar, garlic, and soy sauce. Then he put everything into a basket and carried it to the hospital.

I bought ten steamed buns in the hospital cafeteria and ordered a bowl of stewed potatoes with meat, then staggered back to the ward, just in time for dinner.

Jiang Hai looked at his brother who came in carrying something and joked, "If you don't come back soon, I'll think you're lost."

Jiang Hao pushed the table to the bed and took out the things he had brought. "I rented a single room near the hospital and made you some bone soup. Don't they say you are what you eat? It's a big bowl. Drink more."

Jiang Hai looked at the food on the table, took the soup handed to him by Jiang Hao and took a sip. "Those bones you bought? It's so late, the supply and marketing cooperative is out of them."

Jiang Hao took the steamed bun and put some meat in it while saying, "When I was out and about, I saw a lot of aunties carrying baskets to exchange things near the hospital. They seemed to be from the nearby countryside. I thought it would be easy to exchange things, so I used the tickets to exchange them."

Jiang Hai nodded when he heard this, put down his lunch box, and took out 158 ​​yuan and some bills from a drawer. "Here, you'll probably need to buy something later, so you can't be without money."

Jiang Hao had no embarrassment at all about taking Jiang Hai's money. After all, he had taken a lot of it before. He took it and put it in his pocket without even looking at it.

Jiang Hai asked the guard to get this money from the dormitory after Jiang Hao arrived in the afternoon. It was not that he didn't want to give Jiang Hao more, but there was only this much cash in the dormitory and the rest was saved. However, he thought this amount would be enough for him to spend in the next few days.

Jiang Hai was about to serve a bowl of soup when he felt the patient in the next bed staring at him eagerly.

Jiang Hai was very helpless and stretched out his hand to his good brother Tian Ye, "Give me the lunch box, I'll give you a bowl of soup."

Tian Ye and Jiang Hai were from the same military district and were brothers who had been through life and death together. Hearing this, he felt no embarrassment and directly handed the lunch box to Jiang Hai.

Tian Ye looked at Jiang Hai's meal today, then looked at Jiang Hao, thinking that if Jiang Hai's younger brother was not here, he would have gone over to eat it long ago. Why would he have to wait for Jiang Hai to serve him? That was totally impossible.

Jiang Hai handed the lunch box filled with soup to Tian Ye, and gave him a steamed bun with bones and meat in it. He said proudly, "My brother made this. It's so delicious. You're in for a treat. By the way, this is my brother Jiang Hao."

After that, he introduced to Jiang Hao, "This is our division's third regiment commander, Tian Ye. He happened to be out for inspection when you came, so he wasn't here. He came back a little over a week earlier than me. Well, we're brothers who have been through thick and thin together. You can just call him Brother Tian."

When Jiang Hao heard this, he greeted Tian Ye, "Hello, Brother Tian."

Tian Ye smiled at Jiang Hao and said, "Hey, hello little brother, Commander Jiang's brother is my brother, no need to be polite to me."

In fact, Tian Ye had already had dinner, which was brought to him by the guard. Although he was full, he still wanted to eat more after smelling the fragrance of Jiang Hai's food. That's why he looked at Jiang Hai eagerly and begged for food. After all, he was his leader, so he was not afraid of losing face.

Tian Ye felt really full after drinking a bowl of soup and eating a steamed bun with meat.
