The second day.
Under Xu Feng's expectant gaze, Lu Zhanlin took out the letter of apology he had written yesterday from his military uniform pocket.
"Captain Lu, you are my great benefactor! Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you yesterday. If we go to the battlefield again in the future, I will definitely take the bullet for you."
Xu Feng happily opened the crumpled paper and looked at the densely written words by Lu Zhanlin. He was so happy.
Although copying was painful, it was much better than writing it by racking his brains.
After flipping through the papers in his hand for a few seconds, Xu Feng suddenly realized that something was wrong.
He quickly grabbed Lu Zhanlin who was about to leave and said, "Old Lu, this is not right. These words don't add up to 3,000 words. Commander He said yesterday that it must be 3,000 words, not a single word less."
Cough cough.
Lu Zhanlin raised his hand, put it to his lips and coughed a few times. He didn't expect Xu Feng to be so meticulous and could see that the number of words was not enough.
He said, "I only have enough time to write this much in one night. You have to figure out how to write the remaining 1,000 words."
"That's not right... You didn't work overtime last night, and there was no meeting at the military headquarters. I saw you went back to the family compound early in the morning. How can you not have enough time... Captain Lu..."
Xu Feng watched Lu Zhanlin walk away without getting the answer he wanted.
With Xu Feng's intelligence, emotional intelligence, and his fanboy-like admiration for Chu Yue, he would never have thought that the less than a thousand words in the self-criticism were wasted by Chu Yue.
After all, Chu Yue occupied all of Lu Zhanlin's time afterwards.
It's just... the end result was a bit tiring, but she also enjoyed it~
…
Three days later.
Chu Yue slightly modified the back seat of the bicycle so that the injured Lu Yuanbao could sit more steadily, and then fulfilled her promise a few days ago to take him to eat hot pot.
"Mom, are we going to the restaurant in the city to eat hotpot?" Lu Yuanbao asked loudly, sitting on the back seat of the bicycle, hugging Chu Yue's waist.
"No, there is no hot pot restaurant in the city, so mom will make it for you."
"Why don't you eat at home?"
Lu Yuanbao was confused. His house was big and spacious, and he could pick vegetables and cucumbers in the yard at any time. How convenient.
Chu Yue smiled and replied, "Because we want to eat and watch the show at the same time."
Watch a show?
Did the city invite a troupe of actors?
Lu Yuanbao thought so.
After they entered the city that day, they did not go directly to the grocery store, but first went to the small house that Ye Zhaodi had temporarily rented.
Ye Zhigang's case progressed very quickly. The people who came from the provincial government were very capable, and with Commander He keeping an eye on it, the case, which would have taken at least half a year to a year to investigate, got results in just one month.
Ye Zhigang was sentenced to death by shooting for embezzling huge amounts of state assets and endangering the lives of others. He will be executed in about half a month, but the exact date has not yet been decided.
During the investigation, Ding Yuqin, who was originally thought to be innocent, was also arrested.
She was convicted as an accomplice, and although she did not have to be shot, she was sentenced to ten years in prison. She will have to spend her days in prison like years from now on.
As for their child Ye Fugui, without parental discipline and with the favoritism of Ding Yuqin, he still did not know how to repent. His bad nature was completely exposed. He did not even go to school and spent all day hanging out with a group of little hooligans outside. He had already learned to be violent and aggressive at a young age.
This is exactly the same as Ye Zhigang.
But he was not as lucky as Ye Zhigang.
When Ye Zhigang got into trouble, he had an older brother at home (Ye Zhaodi's father) to support him and was willing to sell everything he had to pay for his recovery.
As for Ye Fugui, when he was fighting with someone, he offended a more powerful kid.
The child's parents were even more ruthless. They sent someone to break Ye Fugui's legs, but saved his life because he was still a child.
Ye Fugui had repeatedly called Ye Xiaoman a cripple, but now he was reaping the fruits of his own actions and had become a real cripple.
I heard that he was finally taken in by Ding Yuqin's parents, that is, his grandparents.
Being a disabled person with both legs broken and an orphan without a father or a mother, living under the care of others must have a hard time.
This is the law of cause and effect.
Ye Fugui has completely become the same person he once was: Ye Xiaoman.
As for his future fate, no one will care and no one will sympathize with him.
The three members of the Ye family have settled their issues and have found their own solutions. According to this situation, Ye Zhaodi should have returned to the cannery's staff quarters and moved into the house that originally belonged to her and Ye Xiaoman.
But Ye Zhaodi was not impatient. She told Chu Yue that she wanted to wait until Ye Zhigang was really executed, and then go to her parents' grave with the good news, and then take Ye Xiaoman back home, to their real home, to start their new life.
In addition, the house that Ye Zhaodi is currently renting is next to the hospital. Although it is small, only the size of a room, the kitchen, toilet, and bathroom are all shared, similar to a tube-shaped building.
But this place is close to the hospital, making it convenient for Ye Xiaoman to go there for a follow-up visit.
The house faces south, has windows and sunlight, and is particularly bright.
That ray of sunshine was something they had never dared to ask for.
This alone makes Ye Zhaodi and Ye Xiaoman feel very happy, and both siblings cherish the present day very much.
Boom boom boom.
Chu Yue knocked on the door, and Ye Zhaodi's voice was immediately heard from inside the room.
"Sister Yue, the door is not closed, you can come in directly."
Chu Yue brought Lu Yuanbao into the small house of the Ye siblings. She had been here several times and felt refreshed every time she came. Ye Zhaodi was a very diligent person. Even though it was a temporary rented house, she kept it clean and tidy.
You can still smell the fresh fragrance of flowers in the small house.
Lu Yuanbao stood up with the support of a cane and whispered, "It smells so good."
Ye Zhaodi was pouring tea for them and answered with a smile, "It's gardenia. Gardenias are in full bloom at this time of year. I picked some and brought them back so Xiaoman can smell and take a look."
Gardenia is white and beautiful, with a particularly strong fragrance. Just a small flower can fill the house with fragrance.
Ye Zhaodi put the gardenia in a bamboo tube, used the bamboo tube as a vase, and placed it where it could get sunlight and close to Ye Xiaoman.
Ye Xiaoman sat on the bed, looking up at Chu Yue with a brilliant smile, "Sister Yue, you came to see me again."
Every time Chu Yue came before, she was concerned about Ye Zhaodi's life, and also visited Ye Xiaoman for a follow-up visit, and used acupuncture to help him recover.
Since leaving Ye Zhigang's clutches, Ye Xiaoman has been able to eat well, dress warmly, sleep well, and has hope of recovery. The once dirty and skinny child has gained a lot of weight after a period of recuperation.
Children grow fast, especially boys of this age. Ye Xiaoman is two years older than Lu Yuanbao and is gradually looking like a teenager.
After several follow-up visits with the doctor, Ye Xiaoman was fitted with a brace, which also serves as a corrector, for his lower body.
Braces are very uncomfortable, and it is definitely not an easy task to bend the wrong bones back into place. It requires long-term efforts and constant torment and pain.
But compared with the past, the hope of being able to stand up again is nothing to Ye Xiaoman.
