Ten days later.
"Captain Lu? Captain Lu? Where's Captain Lu?" Ding Xiaohui couldn't find Lu Zhanlin, so she pulled a soldier and asked, "Where's your Captain Lu?"
"Captain Lu? I just saw him helping his fellow villagers move things. Comrade Ding, go take a look over there." The young soldier pointed in the direction where there were many people and told Ding Xiaohui.
Ding Xiaohui quickly ran in that direction.
This kind of scene has happened many times in recent days, with Ding Xiaohui chasing after Lu Zhanlin.
Because everything Chu Yue said came true, after Lu Zhanlin recovered a little, he immediately joined the team and started helping, not caring at all about his head that had been operated on. If Chu Yue was still there, she would definitely grab him by his ears and take him back.
However, now that Chu Yue is not here, no one dares to do this.
Only Ding Xiaohui, who accepted Chu Yue's instructions, would keep looking for Lu Zhanlin, and make sure that Lu Zhanlin took medicine, had physical examinations, and changed gauze on time.
Ding Xiaohui had never seen such a difficult patient.
When Ding Xiaohui found Lu Zhanlin, Lu Zhanlin was helping a fellow villager put a wooden box on the donkey cart. The box was so heavy that most people could not lift it. Lu Zhanlin had not removed the gauze on his head yet, but he just picked up the wooden box and put it on.
It was really scary to watch.
"Thank you, Captain Lu. Thank you, Captain Lu. You are such good people." The fellow villager hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
It still rained occasionally over the past ten days, but the overall rainfall was at a normal level. As the rain decreased, the flood peak passed and the flood began to recede.
It’s just that some villages are in low-lying areas, while some are in high-lying areas, and the floods in different villages recede at different times, so the villagers in the rescue stations leave in batches according to the situation of each village.
This is the last batch.
The fellow villagers are all very thrifty. When they escaped, they wanted to take all the belongings from home with them. Now that they have lived here for a while, they have more things and want to take them all back.
No matter how much mass work we do, it won’t persuade people on this point; we can only help.
Ding Xiaohui came jogging over, her face red from the sun, and said breathlessly, "Captain Lu, it's time for the daily physical examination. Why are you running around again?"
"It's not like I'm running around, I'm just doing something to help the folks."
"Your wound hasn't healed completely yet. If you use too much force, it might split open. Isn't this considered running around? Captain Lu, if you do this again, I will complain to Doctor Xiao Chu when she comes back."
Mentioning Chu Yue was indeed very useful. Lu Zhanlin stopped arguing and found a nearby stone to sit down.
He is tall, so it is inconvenient for Ding Xiaohui to change his dressings, so she has to sit as low as possible.
Seeing that the patient had finally obeyed, Ding Xiaohui showed an expression that said "that's good enough" and immediately walked over to examine Lu Zhanlin and change the dressing.
When Ding Xiaohui removed the gauze on Lu Zhanlin's head and saw the hideous marks of surgery, she suddenly remembered and quickly reminded him.
"Captain Lu, I know you men don't care about scars and think scars are a man's medal. But I remind you that Doctor Xiao Chu said you are ugly."
Lu Zhanlin frowned, "I... am ugly?"
"It's not your face that's ugly, she means the scar on your head is ugly. If you don't change the dressing on time, it might become even uglier after the stitches are removed." Ding Xiaohui said confidently.
Lu Zhanlin listened to Ding Xiaohui's words and fell silent... Really? Is it ugly?
Being considered ugly by your own wife is not a good thing.
For the first time the rough guy began to pay attention to his appearance.
Lu Zhanlin thought for a moment and said, "Comrade Ding, please be careful when applying the medicine."
Maybe this way the scar will be smaller and Chu Yue won’t feel ugly.
Ding Xiaohui took advantage of the fact that Lu Zhanlin couldn't see her and smiled secretly.
As expected, using Chu Yue to control Lu Zhanlin was a sure win. Let's see if Captain Lu dares to wander around and make it difficult for her to find him next time when changing the dressings.
(Chu Yue: I clearly said that Lu Zhanlin looks ugly with a bald head.)
…
For the people in the military compound, Chu Yue and the large force had been gone for half a month.
There have been reports of floods in recent news newspapers. I heard that a large area of villages and fields were submerged, causing incalculable economic losses.
Most importantly... the death toll is increasing every day in the newspapers.
Most of the sisters-in-law in the compound are illiterate, or know only a few words, but they have been reading newspapers every day. Among them, Wang Chunling has a relatively high level of education. The sisters-in-law ask Wang Chunling to read the news in the newspaper every day. Also, at the call of Director Song Hongmei, everyone sews clothes and makes shoes to send to the front line.
There were many photos published in the newspapers, showing the endless water that submerged the village and the soldiers holding hands and soaking in the rolling water just to block the gaping hole in the dam.
If the power of words requires understanding, then the impact of photos is overwhelming.
After seeing the pictures in the newspaper, the sisters-in-law were all terrified. They were even more afraid of seeing their husbands' faces in the newspaper.
At this stage, no news is the best news.
Fortunately, after such a week of anxiety and worry, I finally saw different news in the newspapers: the flood began to recede... People's production and life gradually returned to normal... The army helped the people rebuild their homes...
Everything is going on in an orderly manner.
However, in the past half month, the troops that left have not returned and the sisters-in-law have been feeling uneasy.
Everyone in the compound was waiting for their families to return, including the children.
"Yuanbao! Yuanbao! Yuanbao, where are you?" Chen Dazhuang woke up from a nap and found that Lu Yuanbao was no longer on the mat.
There were marks of the mat on his face, and he was shouting for help in the yard.
Tan Rourou came out after hearing the shouting. She had recovered well. Her sprained foot had healed and she could walk normally.
She said to Chen Dazhuang, "Fool, where else can Lu Yuanbao go? He must be at the gate of the compound."
After saying that, Tan Rourou walked outside.
Chen Dazhuang scratched his head and smiled innocently, "Rou Rou, you are so smart. I was confused because of sleep and forgot that Yuanbao likes to sit there the most."
There is a big tree at the gate of the military compound, and under the tree there is a row of stone benches.
Normally, the sisters-in-law in the compound like to sit under the big tree and gossip, but the weather has been hot recently, and the sisters-in-law don’t like to go there to chat.
On the contrary, Lu Yuanbao could sit there for the entire afternoon.
The sisters-in-law passing by saw Lu Yuanbao's small figure and knew what was going on at a glance. He was waiting for Chu Yue and Lu Zhanlin to come back.
The lonely little figure makes people feel sad.
