Chapter 366 I'm Still Too Weak
Lin Xiangnan moved to the side of the stool, and after sitting down, he felt his body had some support.
Political Commissar Xu, who was lying on the bed, was breathing very weakly. Lin Xiangnan did not dare to speak loudly and asked cautiously, "Is the critical period over?"
"It's over. As long as the wound doesn't get infected again, just take care of it slowly."
That being said, with such an injury, there will definitely be many side effects.
In addition to the fatal wound on his chest, Political Commissar Xu's arms and head were also seriously injured.
Lin Xiangnan asked worriedly, "Has the fighting been fierce over there recently?"
She originally wanted to ask Auntie Hua about it, but the noise she made woke up Political Commissar Xu. He was in pain all over his body, and Political Commissar Xu couldn't sleep well.
Hearing Lin Xiangnan's question, Political Commissar Xu replied: "Fortunately, the fighting is not too fierce now. Don't worry, Gu Zhenhua is fine. It's just that I'm unlucky. Damn it, there were thousands of people, and the team I led ran into them. What a bunch of bastards. I'll kill them when I get back..."
"Stop talking." Lin Xiangnan's face wrinkled into a ball, and he wished he could shut up Political Commissar Xu.
He looked like he was having trouble breathing, yet he still had so much to say. Lin Xiangnan was really afraid that he would faint in the middle of his words out of excitement.
Political Commissar Xu had a lot to say and originally wanted to chat more, but Lin Xiangnan refused to cooperate.
He groaned half-deadly, closed his eyes and rested.
"Angry...fainted from anger?" Lin Xiangnan looked at Aunt Hua for help in panic.
When they were in the family compound before, Lin Xiangnan thought that Political Commissar Xu was the most elegant. Now he was cursing and swearing, obviously he was very angry.
Political Commissar Xu was indeed angry, but he was angered by Lin Xiangnan. As a man, would he faint from anger?
He opened his eyes slowly and looked at Lin Xiangnan speechlessly.
Lin Xiangnan breathed a sigh of relief and laughed awkwardly, pretending that nothing had happened. He ignored him and asked Aunt Hua, "Have you all eaten? How about some chicken soup? Where's Sister Xiulan?"
"Your sister-in-law has gone to queue up for hot water. I'll go get the food when she comes back." Aunt Hua said as she took a bowl from the cupboard and poured out the chicken soup.
"I haven't had your soup for a long time. It's still so delicious."
"Drink the soup and eat the meat. Eat more to nourish yourself, and your injury will heal faster." Lin Xiangnan said, "Tell me what you want to eat, and I'll bring it to you tomorrow."
"Don't bother. You can get food at the hospital."
The hospital certainly has a cafeteria and patient meals, but the taste is definitely not as good as what you cook at home.
After hearing from Political Commissar Xu that Gu Zhenhua was fine, Lin Xiangnan was no longer as panicked as before. She hadn't noticed it when she entered the room just now, but now she looked around the room and saw the two camp beds leaning against the corner.
Political Commissar Xu lived in a VIP ward, which was a single room with only one bed. Aunt Hua and Chen Xiulan probably slept on camp beds at night.
Seeing Lin Xiangnan's eyes fall on the camp bed, Aunt Hua explained: "It's not convenient to live in someone else's house, so I'll just stay in the hospital for a while."
Only couples can live in housing allocated by their work units. Singles basically live in dormitories and do not consider housing allocation. Married couples will not have enough housing within two years, as they have elderly parents and young children to support.
Lin Xiangnan's yard has 6 bedrooms. When there are many people living there during the winter and summer vacations, they still have to squeeze in.
She didn't mention letting Aunt Hua live with her, but only suggested: "How about you rent a place to live? Political Commissar Xu's injury will take at least a month or two to recuperate. There is an empty yard on our street, why don't you rent it?"
Aunt Hua has her own private money, so this idea suits her heart very well. "Then leave me your address and I'll go check it out tomorrow."
"I'll take you there directly tomorrow."
The yard was where Lin Xiangnan lived before, and she planned to ask Huang Xiaogang to rent the house.
Aunt Hua had to take care of the patients, so Lin Xiangnan didn't stay in the hospital for too long. After saying a few words of concern, he took his empty lunch box and went back.
"How is it? What's the disease? Is it serious?" Hu Meili asked curiously.
"Serious. But he's not in danger of death." Lin Xiangnan sighed and counted the details: "His head was bruised, his arm was broken, and the bullet hit his chest, injuring his lungs. If he does any strenuous exercise in the future, he will definitely feel chest tightness and shortness of breath. He should be able to retire after his injuries heal."
Hu Meili and Lin Xiangnan had the same first reaction and asked on the spot: "Is Gu Zhenhua okay?"
After so many years of being together, Gu Zhenhua treated her like his own mother, and she looked at Gu Zhen Hua like her own son.
Lin Xiangnan said with a wooden face, "Political Commissar Xu said he was fine. Gu Zhenhua also wrote back saying he was fine."
She really couldn't find out whether there was anything wrong. In addition to listening to them, Lin Xiangnan had no other information channels. Intelligence on the battlefield could not be easily found out by outsiders.
"Amitabha, Wuliang Tianzun, God bless you." Hu Meili clasped her hands together and worshipped the Buddha in the air, then said nervously: "I will go to Banxian tomorrow to pray for peace and happiness for my son-in-law. The child at home is still young, he must not be in any danger."
When he was in a good mood, if he saw Hu Meili engaging in feudal superstition, Lin Xiangnan would definitely tease her.
Lin Xiangnan was also feeling anxious now, and he joined Hu Meili's camp and reminded her, "Then Ping Anfu, wait for me to get off work and go together to pray. Don't go alone."
"Okay, okay, let's do it together."
When Lin Xiangnan first sent Gu Zhenhua to the front line, he was still quite relaxed and thought that as long as it was not reported in the news, it was not a big deal.
But the dust of history is like a mountain when it falls on everyone.
There was no news coverage of this battle, but Political Commissar Xu was seriously injured and almost died on the spot. Two soldiers from their regiment also died and dozens were injured.
Thinking that Gu Zhenhua might be injured, like Political Commissar Xu, lying on the hospital bed wrapped in gauze like a mummy, breathing weakly, Lin Xiangnan felt suffocated and panicked.
"I really want to blow up all these idiots who are looking for trouble!"
Lin Xiangnan cursed and then turned around and devoted all her energy to the research institute, being more motivated than ever before.
"What's wrong with you? Are you upset?" Ding Yougui carefully probed. Lin Xiangnan had been doing something dangerous recently, so Ding Yougui spoke in a gentle and calm tone, fearing that he would offend him and be the one in danger.
Lin Xiangnan put down the information in his hand and said calmly: "Can't you see? I am fighting for world peace."
"So how's your struggle going?"
"Not so good!" Lin Xiangnan gritted his teeth, his eyes gleaming with ferocity, "I'm still too weak."
