Lu Yuan's ward was in room 306 on the third floor. When Xue Jing pushed the door open, she saw Lu Yuan lying on the bed, his naked upper body wrapped in gauze and his left leg in a sling.
"Lu Yuan!"
Xue Jing shouted and tears started to flow.
"Mom, Xiaojing, why are you here?"
Lu Yuan wanted to get up and struggled to tear at his wound.
"Don't move, lie down quickly."
Xue Jing walked over holding Lele, stood by the bed and looked at her husband, feeling very distressed.
Wang Qiufen was the same. Seeing her son injured like this, she hurriedly asked, "Where are you hurt?"
"Mom, it's okay, it's just a minor injury."
Lu Yuan smiled and ignored his injury. He looked at Hu Zi and Xiao Hua who were still standing at the door and waved to them, "Don't you recognize Dad?"
Xue Jing wiped her tears and introduced Lu Yuan, "This is my fifth brother's wife Ningning. Thanks to her for sending us here."
Xue Jing had written to Lu Yuan and told him about Qin An Ning saving her, so Lu Yuan was very grateful to this brother-in-law whom he had just met.
"Fifth sister-in-law, thank you for your hard work." Lu Yuan smiled gently.
He looks four times like Lu Cheng, and because of his injury, he doesn't look very good.
But he has more of the fortitude and integrity of a soldier, unlike Lu Cheng, who is a bit ruffian.
"What are you talking about, brother? We are all family, why are you being so polite?"
When the communicator came back from fetching water, he saw a room full of unfamiliar people and was confused about what was going on.
He nudged Lu Hai, the only person he knew besides Lu Yuan, with his shoulder, "Xiao Lu, what's going on?"
"This is Lu Ying's family."
Although the two spoke in low voices, Lu Yuan still heard it.
"Mom, you must be very tired after all this journey, why don't you go back to the team with Xiao Lu and rest?
The house is all packed, but we haven't bought everything yet. You'll have to eat in the team cafeteria for now."
Wang Qiufen didn't agree directly, but instead asked, "Is the army far from here? How long does it take to get there by car?"
"It's not too far. It takes about an hour to drive there. There's no direct bus. Why are you asking this, Mom?"
"What are you talking about?" Wang Qiufen rolled her eyes at her silly son. "We came here to take care of you. You're a patient lying in the hospital. What's the point of us going back?"
"Mom, I just have Xiao Wu here."
Lu Yuan swallowed back the rest of his words in the face of Wang Qiufen's threatening gaze.
"Okay, I'll ask Xiao Wu to get you a room at a nearby guesthouse. You guys can take a rest first."
"We're not tired. Lao Wu asked someone to buy us sleeper tickets, and we slept all the way here. Don't worry about us. Just take care of your injuries."
Even though Lu Yuan is already a battalion commander, he still has to behave himself in front of his mother. After Wang Qiufen said this, Lu Yuan didn't dare to refute anything, which made Qin An Ning want to laugh.
"Mom, let my sister-in-law talk to my brother. I'll take you and the children to settle down first and come back later."
As soon as Qin Anning said that, Wang Qiufen readily agreed, "Okay, let's go."
Lu Yuan stared at this. His mother has always been the one who has the final say in his family. When did his mother become so obedient?
Wu Shiyuan retreated with a look in his eyes, "Auntie, I'll accompany you to the guesthouse."
When they got downstairs, Lu Hai was about to return to the army to report. Qin An Ning, using the package as a cover, grabbed a handful of chocolates with liquor filling and gave them to him. "Xiao Lu, I'm sorry about what happened before. This candy is a specialty of our area. Try it."
"No, I can't accept this." Lu Hai opened his mouth but didn't know what to call Qin An Ning, so he held back the second half of the sentence.
"My husband is Lu Ying's younger brother, so it's not wrong for you to call me sister-in-law." Qin An Ning came to his rescue. "This is just a specialty of our place. Don't you think it's unpleasant?"
"No, sister-in-law, that's not what I meant."
Qin Anning smiled and said, "Then take it quickly. Thank you for coming all the way to pick us up today."
Lu Hai had no choice but to take it and thank him.
Qin An Ning was impartial and gave Wu Shiyuan a handful as well. Wu Shiyuan was not as polite as Lu Hai. He took it with a smile and did not forget to say thank you.
"Xiao Wu, how long does the doctor say my brother needs to stay in the hospital for his injury?"
Qin An Ning began to inquire about Lu Yuan's injuries, and Wang Qiufen pricked up her ears to listen.
"Lu Ying is lucky. The bullet didn't hit any of his internal organs. He can go back to the hospital to recuperate after two or three days. His leg will need to be healed for a while, though."
Even if there is no damage to the internal organs, it is still a wound. If you have undergone surgery, can you really be discharged from the hospital in five or six days?
Qin An Ning glanced at Wu Shiyuan. Could it be that he said this on purpose because he was afraid that Wang Qiufen would worry?
Wang Qiufen didn't think too much about it. She felt relieved knowing that her son was fine.
Everyone in the village envied her for having a son who was an officer, but who knew that all this was earned by Lu Yuan at his hard work.
If possible, she would rather her son be ordinary and safe.
But Lu Yuan has wanted to be a soldier since he was a child, and she can't restrict her son just because of her own thoughts.
There was a guesthouse near the hospital, and two rooms were booked there. Wu Shiyuan gave Qin Anning some food coupons.
"Sister-in-law, take this for now. I can't leave the battalion commander for too long. If you need anything, you can come to the hospital to find me."
"No, I have national food coupons. You can go back first. I won't be polite to you if something happens."
The weather was hot and he was sweating every time he moved. He had been sitting on the train for such a long time that Qin An Ning felt like he was going to go rotten.
Fortunately, this guesthouse has showers.
"Mom, take Xiaohua to take a bath first.
Can Huzi do it by himself? I'll wait for you at the door."
He's an eight-year-old boy, he should avoid suspicion.
"Auntie, I can do it." Hu Zi raised his little fist to show that he was already a man.
