Fifth Grandpa has become a little abnormal since Sun Mofei came to live in Shuishui's house. He avoids her all day long. Now he has gone to the county town and lives in a small Western-style building. He says that the county town is close to Warehouse No. 1, making it convenient for shipping.
Professor Dong also noticed the change in Sun Mofei since she arrived in Guanjia Village and learned that Uncle Wu would never marry. She has become a little fangirl. Speaking of which, Sun Mofei is truly a rich lady! With her noble status and outstanding personal conditions, even if she marries those children of wealthy families or aristocrats, some people may think that she is marrying down! What's more, she has not yet married and is still pure and innocent. Not only is her temperament elegant and charming, but she is also smart and talented. A woman with such beauty and wisdom is really rare! And Uncle Wu's favor can be said to be a blessing from his previous life. It is simply marrying up!
Professor Dong mused to himself, these two had been silently waiting for each other, as if destined. Their appearance, temperament, and personality made them a match made in heaven. It was a shame that Uncle Wu's attitude was now clear, and he had unabashedly expressed his refusal.
To be fair, Uncle Wu truly stood out among his peers. Despite having left the military for many years, he consistently maintained the fine qualities of a soldier, maintaining a high degree of self-discipline and rigorous self-discipline. His unwavering integrity exuded a sense of righteousness, yet his mind was meticulous and attentive, a balance of strength and gentleness, a roughness yet a subtlety. In short, Uncle Wu was undoubtedly an exceptional individual.
When he had just left the army, Uncle Wu had actually considered getting married and starting a family. However, as fate would have it, he discovered that he was suffering from post-war syndrome, which prevented him from marrying, having children, and starting a family like a normal person. Thus, the idea of marriage was abandoned, and he never mentioned it again.
To this day, Jiang Huashu and his family of four live together, and he has come to regard them as his own children, loving them with all their heart. Jiang Huashu, in turn, respects and loves him dearly, viewing him as a beloved family member. It was Sun Mofei's deep affection for his uncle that forced him to disclose his illness to his daughter-in-law. Professor Dong knew that war syndrome stems from memories of life-threatening situations or witnessing harm to others. It is a series of psychological and physiological reactions caused by experiencing or participating in war, including post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and depression. Furthermore, exposure to highly stressful situations can lead to overactivity of the amygdala in the brain, increasing feelings of anxiety and panic. Typical symptoms include persistent panic, irritability, insomnia, loss of appetite, and memory loss. Sufferers may also experience social withdrawal and emotional numbness.
This condition is a common and easily manageable ailment in today's military. A comprehensive evaluation by a professional psychologist and appropriate medications are all that's needed, and recovery is quick. However, back then, this condition was virtually unknown, let alone specialized psychologists. This is precisely why Fifth Grandpa remained single and never married.
This morning, over breakfast, Sun Mofei again asked Professor Dong about when Fifth Grandpa would return. Professor Dong took the opportunity to explain Fifth Grandpa's reluctance to marry and his illness—war syndrome. As Sun Mofei listened, tears streamed down her cheeks, her face filled with heartache and pity for Fifth Grandpa, unconcealed.
"It seems that Uncle Wu has really met his destined person this time!" Professor Dong couldn't help but sigh.
