Because after Zhang Jizhou got off the plane, someone had to carry him back, which required Zhang Zongde's help.
At dinner time, Fang Yan carried a large plate of salt and pepper fried fish fillets to Zhang Zongde and told him about Zhang Jizhou's matter.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Zongde, who was eating, was so shocked that he dropped his chopsticks. His first words were, "Seriously injured? Unconscious? Then why were they brought back?"
Fang Yan: ...
The second sentence is, "The third son's family, is the third son... no, I watched the third son grow up, he wouldn't make such a big mistake as being sent back by the army."
Everyone makes small mistakes.
But to be sent back while seriously injured and unconscious, what a huge mistake that must have been.
Zhang Zongde believed that Zhang Jizhou would not make such a mistake.
His expression was grave as he looked at Fang Yan. "Third brother's wife, how could the third brother be sent back while seriously injured?"
Fang Yan had already sighed inwardly several times, "I really didn't expect that you would all immediately and unanimously believe that Zhang Jizhou made a mistake..."
However, she couldn't say that Zhang Jizhou was probably eyeing the spring water in her kitchen.
He could only repeat what he had just said to Zhu Xiuhua and Fang Jie: "Uncle, Ji Zhou did not do anything wrong. The army sent him back by helicopter. Tomorrow, he should land on that flat area near the entrance of our village at Lion Roar Ridge. At that time, we will have to trouble you and the village chief to find some strong young men to carry him back."
"They really brought it back by helicopter?" Zhang Zongde was taken aback.
"Yes, it was the military commander who told me personally."
Zhang Zongde breathed a sigh of relief. "I knew it. The third son wouldn't make such a big mistake."
"But he was seriously injured and unconscious. Isn't the military hospital better than ours? Why was he sent back?" Aunt De was already wiping away tears.
Fang Yan repeated what she had just said to Zhu Xiuhua and Fang Jie like a broken record: "This was Zhang Jizhou's own request. I heard that he woke up for a while in the middle of the night and used all his strength to say that he wanted to come back. I don't know what he wants to do."
"After he said that, he didn't wake up. The leaders thought that maybe if they sent him back and did what he wanted, he would wake up."
"Moreover, the doctor in charge of him will stay here to continue treating his injuries."
Fearing that the doctors at the county hospital might not be skilled enough, the military, after consulting with Zhang Jizhou's attending physician, sent him over.
The gist of it is that if Zhang Jizhou's injuries do improve after he comes here, then he can go back with him whenever he is fully recovered and ready to return.
The attending physician came along for another reason: if Zhang Jizhou's injuries worsened here, he should assess the situation and, if necessary, report to the military so that they could send someone to pick him up.
With a helicopter and a doctor accompanying him throughout, Zhang Zongde finally felt relieved.
However, the thought of Zhang Jizhou being seriously injured and unconscious still made him so upset that he couldn't even drink his daily small glass of wine.
That night, everyone was in a particularly bad mood because of Zhang Jizhou's injury.
Fang Yan was also in a bad mood. She was genuinely worried that the male and female protagonists of the book might be written out of the story early because of her unexpected existence.
After all, the female lead, who was supposed to have the last laugh and enjoy the love of the male lead and the children, had already left the show.
Although Fang Yan hadn't read the book in detail at the time, she had skimmed through it and vaguely remembered that the male protagonist hadn't suffered such a serious injury.
But now Zhang Jizhou...
Sigh, there's no point in thinking about it too much. We can only wait for Zhang Jizhou to arrive and then see.
Zhang Jizhou arrived at Gouzi Village at around 3 p.m. on the third day.
Before he returned, Fang Yan had only mentioned this matter to her family and Zhang Zongde.
Both families were tight-lipped, and neither of them leaked the news.
So much so that when the helicopter carrying Zhang Jizhou landed on the open ground at the foot of Lion Roar Ridge, the entire village of Gouzi, including the villagers from the neighboring village, all poured out.
The news spread like wildfire, and even those working in the fields temporarily abandoned their tasks and flocked towards the helicopter from all directions.
"Sigh! I never thought I'd see this huge thing before I closed my eyes!"
"Wow! This thing is huge!"
"Mom, is that an airplane?"
...
When they learned that the helicopter had brought Zhang Jizhou back, everyone was immediately filled with envy...
"The third son is so accomplished! The army even sent him back by plane."
"Did the third brother become a high-ranking official? Otherwise, why would a plane send him back?"
"Of course! The third brother will definitely become a high-ranking official, that's why he can travel in a big plane."
...
Exclamations of admiration and envy rose and fell...
It wasn't until Zhang Zongde and the village chief arrived with several strong young men from the village that the situation was brought under control.
By this time, Fang Yan had already met with the doctor who had come with her and confirmed that she could be carried off the plane.
He then got off the plane and walked towards Zhang Zongde and the others, saying, "Uncle, you can go up now."
Zhang Zongde is too old and not as strong as a young man.
The village chief boarded the plane with three other young men.
When they carried the motionless, seemingly deceased Zhang Jizhou off the plane, the atmosphere at the scene instantly changed...
"Ah! They were carried down! Is the third brother dead?"
"No, the third brother is a soldier. If soldiers die, it should be said that they sacrificed their lives."
Aunt Wang and her daughter-in-law arrived just in time, carrying their grandson, only to see the village chief and the others carrying Zhang Jizhou down the hill.
She was so frightened that her legs almost gave way, and it was only with her daughter-in-law's help that she was able to barely walk up to Fang Yan. "Third brother's wife, what... what happened to the third brother?"
“He was injured, and I couldn’t leave to take care of him, so he applied to come home to recuperate.”
You can't keep explaining so much to other people every time, can you?
So Fang Yan pondered and came up with this reason.
"That scared me to death!"
I thought he was gone.
However, Aunt Wang dared not say these words aloud.
However, some people didn't believe Fang Yan's words and came over to ask, "If it's just an injury, why does the third brother look so pale? And why does he need to be carried?"
Fang Yan turned around and saw that the person asking the question was someone she had only a casual relationship with. It was one thing for the person to take advantage of her, but whenever Fang Yan taught her something, she couldn't learn it herself and would turn around and blame Fang Yan for not teaching her diligently. She was a typical person who held a grudge over a small favor.
Therefore, Fang Yan didn't like to associate with her.
Upon hearing this…
