Chapter 148: One Hundred Days to Heal the Bones
"You must come back safely. Your daughter wants to grow up to be as tall as you. When she grows up, you two can compare your heights to see who is taller."
Lin Shuyin was thinking, if only she could get a talisman, her system wouldn’t assign her any tasks, and would just let her study 996.
It will take a long time to accumulate enough amulet points through learning.
Shen Guannan, "She must be taller than me."
Lin Shuyin, "....She is a girl. You are 188cm tall and she would be 2 meters taller."
Even if a boy is 2 meters tall, he doesn't look good.
Shen Guannan smiled, "Yes, actually it would be enough if Siyu is as tall as you."
Speak of the devil, and he appears. Lin Jianshe has brought Si Yu back.
The little girl was surprised to see her father as soon as she entered the house.
"Dad, you're back!"
She ran over and stopped in front of Shen Guannan. Her uncle told her on the way that her father had injuries on his legs and back, so she had to take good care of him and not touch him.
Shen Guannan saw that his daughter was also happy, so he reached out his hand.
"Give me a hug, Dad."
Little girl Siyu pouted, "Daddy, you are injured." Shen Guannan picked her up and said, "Daddy's leg is injured, but his hand is fine."
Pick him up and place him on his unbroken leg.
Ask, "Siyu, do you miss your dad?"
Siyu kissed him on the face and said
"Yes, my mom and I miss you so much. Mom misses you so much that she can't eat. I can't eat either."
Shen Guannan looked at his daughter, "Oh, really? Then you and mom should eat more."
Si Yu nodded, "I want to eat five bowls of rice."
Lin Jianshe watched from the side and sighed. It wouldn't work if no one was absent in this family. When his sister was not around, his brother-in-law and his niece seemed to have lost something. It was so pitiful to see them.
His brother-in-law said that when your sister is not around, she has no appetite and the day is meaningless. When his brother-in-law is not around, his sister simply can't eat.
This couple, in fact, is the same for him. During the time when his wife went to the countryside to perform, it was quite boring for him and his son to live alone.
He asked, "Sister, are you going to buy groceries this afternoon? I'll go buy them for you. It's inconvenient for you to go out since you have to take care of your brother-in-law."
"Okay, I'll get you a ticket."
Lin Shuyin stood up and went to get the ticket for Lin Jianshe. "Jianshe, buy me some spare ribs. If you have a live chicken, buy me one too."
Lin Jianshe: "Okay, no problem."
"Then I'll go first, brother-in-law. Sarin will be back soon."
He has to go back and make lunch.
Lin Shuyin and Shen Guannan, "Hey, drive slowly on the road."
Lin Shuyin and Shen Guannan had already eaten, but Siyu had not had lunch yet, so Lin Shuyin cooked some noodles for him and put two poached eggs in them.
"Wife, you've been working hard these days."
Shen Guannan's tone was apologetic.
If his arm was injured, he could still move it, but his leg was injured, and it would be very inconvenient for him to walk. His wife will have to work hard in the next few months.
Lin Shuyin was blowing noodles for her daughter, which were a little hot.
Hearing this, he looked up and said, "What's the big deal? We are husband and wife, it's the way it should be."
Aren't married couples supposed to support each other, you take care of me and I take care of you? Children can't accompany them all their lives.
Shen Guannan smiled, "Well, we are husband and wife. I will take care of you like this when we are old. I will cook for you every day when I retire."
Lin Shuyin: "Okay."
Little girl Siyu slurped a mouthful of noodles and said, "Mom, I will take care of you when I grow up."
"Oh, my daughter is so good~"
Lin Shuyin was being affectionate with the lady, and Siyu was very good at keeping things balanced. She then said to Shen Guannan, "Dad, I will take care of you too. I will take care of both of you together."
Hearing his daughter say this, Shen Guannan, the old father, was so happy, "Okay, our Siyu is really well behaved."
Siyu, "I also bought you a lot of food."
"Oh, then mom and dad will wait for you to grow up and buy us delicious food." Lin Shuyin and Shen Guannan laughed.
This little cotton quilt is so thoughtful.
After eating, the family of three went to rest and take a nap.
In the afternoon, little girl Siyu said she didn't want to go to kindergarten and wanted to stay with her father. Lin Shuyin agreed with her. It wouldn't delay anything if she didn't go to kindergarten for half a day, and winter vacation was about to start.
She had nothing to do in the afternoon, so she tidied the house and started thinking about dinner. Lin Jianshe brought her a piece of pork, a chicken, and half a lamb chop.
He went to Sanhe Village in the afternoon, and the chicken and lamb chops were brought from his father-in-law's house.
When Sarin's parents heard that Shen Guannan was injured, they caught him some chicken and lamb chops, saying that they should nourish him well and that the meat would not go bad if left uneaten in the winter.
Lin Shuyin asked the father and daughter, "Do you want to eat mutton or chicken?"
Shen Guannan asked his daughter, and Siyu said she wanted to eat mutton.
So they said, "We want to eat mutton."
"Okay, then we'll have lamb chops and radish stew tonight."
Both father and daughter love to eat mutton. She likes to drink mutton soup, which is best served with some coriander on top. It doesn’t matter if there is no coriander in winter, because she can dry the coriander in the summer.
Just chop the dried coriander and put it in the soup, it will taste just as good.
For dinner, we had rice, lamb chops stewed with radishes, and Lin Shuyin also fried some sauerkraut vermicelli, which was also delicious.
The father and daughter ate delicious food.
After the family of three finished their meal, Lin Shuyin helped Siyu wash up first, and then Shen Guannan. After the father and daughter had washed up, Lin Shuyin rushed them to bed.
Then I cleaned the living room, wiped the table, washed the dishes, did the laundry, and finally washed myself.
Master Lin’s busy day is finally coming to an end...?
No, the lady has to go to the toilet. After the lady has gone to the toilet, the father has to go. Shen Guannan leaned on his crutches and said embarrassedly
"Daughter-in-law, thank you for your hard work."
Alas, his wife has been busy for most of the day and has not had time to sit down and rest.
Lin Shuyin supported him, "It's okay, come quickly."
Shen Guannan: “I... um.” A little shy.
After helping him back to the room, Lin Shuyin went to the bathroom again and finally finished. After she got into bed,
"Guan Nan, let me see the wound on your back."
Shen Guannan stayed in the hospital for a week and then rushed back. Although it was only a superficial wound, it needed stitches and would take more than a week to heal.
Shen Guannan took off his clothes and exposed his back. Lin Shuyin looked over and saw a scar about ten centimeters long on his shoulder.
She touched it gently, "Does it hurt?"
Shen Guannan, "It hurts, especially when the stitches are removed. It hurts a lot. But when the stitches are sutured, I was given anesthesia so it didn't hurt."
Siyu also came over to take a look. She blew on the wound and said, "Dad, I'll blow it for you. It won't hurt anymore."
Shen Guannan put on his clothes and touched her little head, "Thank you, my dear, Daddy doesn't feel any pain now, and the wound is almost healed."
Lin Shuyin helped him lie down, "Is your calf just a minor fracture?"
Shen Guannan nodded, "Yes, my wife, the doctor showed me the X-ray. It's just a small bone fracture. It's not serious, but it's a serious injury. It will take a hundred days to fully recover."
Lin Shuyin, "It's normal. You should take a good rest during these 100 days."
"Now it is November 20th, December, January, February, and the Chinese New Year is on February 18th this year. By the time of the Chinese New Year, you will be almost well."
Shen Guannan reached out his hand and asked Lin Shuyin to lie down.
"I've almost recovered in February, and I can go to the photo studio with you two to take pictures."
Lin Shuyin lay over gently, and Siyu fell into her arms. She lay on Shen Guannan's arms, and Siyu lay on her arms. The three of them lay there according to their size.
“That’s all you need to remember.”
Other people only take photos once a year, but this family of three takes them four times a year, spring, summer, autumn and winter, once in every season.
Of course, with their current salary, this is completely affordable.
Shen Guannan kissed her hair and said, "In my heart, I am just pretending to be you two."
Lin Shuyin laughed, "Who says it's not true? In my heart, you two are father and daughter, too. You two are number one."
Shen Guannan asked the young lady, "What is Siyu thinking?"
"Who are they pretending to be?" a big man asked in a hoarse voice.
Siyu, "My father and mother are in my heart."
Lin Shuyin smiled, "Oh, then we are the happiest family. We both care about each other."
Siyu chuckled, and suddenly said, "Mom and Dad, why do other people have brothers and sisters but I don't?"
Lin Shuyin, "............"
Shen Guannan, "You have one too. Nan Ding is your brother."
Siyu: "The kindergarten teacher said that he is not my biological brother."
Lin Shuyin, "You are still young now. When you grow up, mom will give you a brother or sister."
Siyu, "Why can't Mom have a baby now?"
This child has so many problems, Lin Shuyin said, "Because Daddy is injured now, Mommy has to take care of Daddy and you, and she doesn't have the energy to take care of a little baby."
Siyu understood, "Okay, then when I grow up, you can give me a child."
"Yes, I'll give birth to you when I grow up."
"Go to sleep." Lin Shuyin patted her.
Siyu fell asleep quickly, and Lin Shuyin turned around.
"Guan Nan, do you want to move?"
It's very uncomfortable to lie flat all the time.
Shen Guannan was indeed uncomfortable, and he even asked a soul-searching question, "Why can't a person's upper and lower body be moved freely, such as lying flat on the back with the upper body sleeping on the side?"
Lin Shuyin, ".....you should ask Nuwa this question. Do you want to sit up for a while?"
Shen Guannan, "Wife, I want to sleep on my side."
Lin Shuyin thought about it and stood up, "Let me get you a blanket to put under your legs." The doctor said that patients with broken legs should keep their legs elevated when sleeping.
Lin Shuyin took a quilt and folded it into a long strip, placed it at Shen Guannan's feet, and covered him with the quilt, "Just like this, hold me and sleep."
Shen Guannan tried it and said, "Forget it, wife. I'll just lie down."
"Does this make you uncomfortable?"
Shen Guannan, "If I hold it, I can't hold you."
Lin Shuyin, "Why are you hugging me?"
Shen Guannan said unhappily, "I missed you, what else could it be? Please take away the quilt."
"All right."
She put the quilt in the cupboard and took a pillow and placed it under Shen Guannan's feet. "Actually, this is also fine. You can lie on your side."
Shen Guannan tried it and found it worked. He pointed to his arms and said, "Wife, lie down here quickly."
Lin Shuyin lay down, Shen Guannan hugged her with both hands, rubbed his head against her neck, and said with satisfaction, "Wife, I can sleep peacefully holding you."
Lin Shuyin patted his shoulder and said, "Then go to sleep."
"Um."
It wasn't long before I could hear the sound of regular breathing.
Lin Shuyin was also sleepy. She had been worried about Shen Guannan when he was on missions these days. He was always in her dreams. Sometimes he returned safely, sometimes he became a vegetable, and sometimes he had a broken leg or an arm missing. It was too scary.
She hadn't slept well, and now that he was back, she could finally sleep peacefully.
For the next twenty days, Lin Shuyin lived a similar life every day, cooking and cleaning the house. The day before the end of the holiday, she accompanied Shen Guannan to remove the plaster.
After not walking for a month, Shen Guannan's left leg muscles atrophied and became calf-like.
I took another X-ray and the doctor said I was recovering well.
As for the back injury, it has completely healed.
The legs can bear weight and walk slowly.
It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. Although Shen Guannan's fracture does not seem serious, he cannot walk immediately. It will take at least three months before he can walk properly.
It will probably take more than half a year to recover to the state before the injury.
If you have a fracture, you need to heal it slowly and not rush it.
Especially when the fracture is in the leg, if you are in a hurry to get out of bed and walk, but the bone has not healed well, it may be connected crookedly, and after it heals, you will be lame.
Shen Guannan's back injury has healed, and he can walk slowly again. The kindergarten is on winter vacation, but as a patient, Shen Guannan cannot take care of the children, so Lin Shuyin has to go to the group.
We still have to rely on our brother-in-law Lin Jianshe, who came over to stay with his brother-in-law, looking after the two children and taking care of the patient Shen Guannan when necessary.
My sister was busy with work, so she cooked the meal, and the two families had dinner together at Lin Shuyin's place.
When Lin Shuyin returned to the troupe, Ye Runrun introduced to her the two new members their choir had recruited this year, both of whom were lesbians.
During the days when Lin Shuyin was away, Ye Runrun arranged the choir's work very well and there were no mistakes. With such a deputy captain, Lin Shuyin felt at ease.
Ye Ruanruan had no other thoughts but to become the leader of the choir. She knew her own abilities very well and knew that she would not be able to get into a university if she took the college entrance examination, so she could only stay in the army.
But she has a captain, Lin Shuyin, above her, and as long as the captain does not leave, she will always be the deputy.
This made Ye Ruanruan very distressed.
But there was nothing she could do. Her professional ability was indeed not as good as Lin Shuyin's, and Lin Shuyin knew more musical instruments than she did. With this leader around, the chorus members didn't have to look for anyone in the band to learn a musical instrument. They could just ask her directly.
Unless Lin Shuyin leaves the army, she will have a chance to be promoted.
The New Year of 1978 is approaching quickly.
Perhaps because of the body-strengthening pills he took, Shen Guannan's legs recovered well and he can walk normally again.
Shen Guannan thought that there was no problem, so he applied to rejoin the team. However, his superiors said that the New Year was almost approaching, so he should rejoin the team after that.
Lin Shuyin, Shen Guannan, Lin Jianshe and Salin had the New Year's Eve dinner together with their families.
Lin Shuyin and Salen were looking after the baby in the living room, the two men were cooking in the kitchen, Shen Guannan was in the kitchen, and Lin Jianshe was helping.
"Brother-in-law, I've always wanted to ask you, how did you break your leg?" Lin Jiancheng asked.
After that, he quickly said, "Brother-in-law, if it's inconvenient for you to tell me, you don't have to tell me."
Shen Guannan: "I just fell on the rocks."
