Gu Jinghong smiled and continued.
"Besides, she's my savior. She performed my surgery. Otherwise, how could I have recovered to this point, sitting in a wheelchair and preparing for the drill in the war room with you guys?"
The political commissar opened his mouth in shock. The cigarette ash burned his fingers, but he didn't feel it at all.
"What are you talking about? She's a lifesaver? Isn't she said to be a formidable neurosurgeon? And later on, many people even whispered that she was a national treasure-level doctor."
Gu Jinghong raised his eyebrows and looked at the political commissar, and Zheng Yi nodded to him.
"Yes, it's my wife."
"But didn't you say she was only twenty years old? How could she be so..."
When the political commissar said this, he noticed that Gu Jinghong's eyes changed. He pursed his lips and didn't say anything else.
"So your wife is at work now?"
Gu Jinghong looked much more dejected.
"She should still be in the village, but she may have already returned to Jiangcheng. Although my wife is young, she is very smart and knows how to protect herself."
The political commissar's mouth twitched, and he took two deep puffs of the cigarette, but he felt that the cigarette didn't taste as good anymore.
Gu Jinghong, who everyone thought was going to be a bachelor, had never been interested in young women. Not to mention the ones his family introduced to him, the military leaders were also worried about his personal problems.
But he just didn't want anyone, and he had a lot of tasks at that time and was very busy, so it was delayed.
Later, when he became famous, it became difficult to find someone even with such a high status.
He quickly finished the cigarette in his hand, put it out in the ashtray, and jumped off the table.
"Old Gu, honestly, I'm really happy for you. Not just me, but the Commander, too. When we learned your surgery was successful and you might regain some mobility, we happily ran ten kilometers together. We were so excited. Anyway, welcome back. Don't look at Erniu as a bit silly, but he's genuinely happy to see you."
Gu Jinghong stuffed the cigarette into the political commissar's pocket with a serious expression.
"I know everyone has always been thinking about me, but I really lost interest in it for the past two years and didn't even think about coming back. At that time, I asked the commander to give our division a new commander, but he scolded me. I never thought I would come back one day."
He spoke sincerely, but the political commissar glared at him fiercely.
"Then why didn't you return to the division as soon as you recovered? How many telegrams did the troops send you? You kept putting it off, and this time you only came back because you couldn't wait any longer. And you still say you're thinking about us?"
Gu Jinghong's mouth twitched twice and he said helplessly.
"Old man, why are you still so boring? You need to change it. I'm only being delayed because of my son."
"Are you kidding me? You just can't leave your young wife, can't you? If you can't bear to part with her, why don't you take her home? With her medical skills and reputation, which hospital in Beijing wouldn't be vying for her? And she's definitely more promising than staying in Jiangcheng."
Gu Jinghong really thought about taking Su Ying over, but he didn't want to force her. After all, Chen Shuyun was in Jiangcheng, and Su Ying would definitely be reluctant to leave her mother.
"Let's talk about it later. It depends on her own decision."
The political commissar looked at Gu Jinghong carefully and said with a smile.
"Old Gu, you have lost all your chauvinism now. Do you listen to your wife in everything at home?"
Gu Jinghong's face immediately darkened and he roared with his neck stiffened.
"Nonsense! I have the final say over the older children in our family, but she has the final say over the younger ones."
The political commissar couldn't help laughing.
"So your family doesn't usually have any big children? Are there only small children?"
Gu Jinghong's face turned even greener. He found that his partner had become mean and the political commissar continued to tease him.
"So, tell me, is this job transfer for the older one or the younger one?"
