Chapter 411 Extra 4: Sudden Decision
Lin Jie looked at Yueyue in shock, "How did you know? Did you call grandma?"
Chen Fang, who was standing by, said with a pale face: "She said she missed her grandmother, so I took her to call her grandmother..."
"As a result...her grandmother told her everything."
Lin Jie wiped his tears distressedly and sighed, "Forget it, she will know sooner or later, it's better to let her know sooner."
After Yueyue was tired of crying and fell asleep in his arms, Lin Jie carried her to the bed.
Then he walked up to Chen Fang, lifted up her hands that were bitten by Yueyue, and helped her apply iodine.
"It hurts, right? I apologize on Yueyue's behalf."
"It's okay." Chen Fangse shrank when the iodine came into contact with her skin. "You... ahem... you came back at the right time. After Yueyue found out that her mother had passed away, she cried for several days and her eyes were swollen."
Chen Fang coughed as she spoke.
"Are you sick too?" Lin Jie frowned.
"Yeah, I wasn't spared either... cough cough! But it's okay, I just need to take some medicine." Chen Fang couldn't even finish her words, and she coughed up blood so hard.
Lin Jie was startled and grabbed Chen Fang and took her to the hospital. "You can't delay any longer. You're coughing up blood. I'll take you to see a doctor."
After examination, the doctor told me it was pneumonia.
I need to receive intravenous drips for several days.
These two, one big and one small, one was seriously ill, the other was heartbroken and crying non-stop, Lin Jie's heart was in a mess.
For several nights, he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
What I saw in the disaster area and the family of five buried under the rubble kept flashing through my mind.
Then... the scene switched, and the face of the person lying under the ruins suddenly turned into Ma Xueling, and even turned into Chen Fang, and turned into Yueyue!
Lin Jie was awakened. He looked at Chen Fang who was sleeping beside him, then went to check on Yueyue on the small bed and broke out in a cold sweat.
After some torment, Lin Jie made a decision - he wanted to retire from the army.
Chen Fang was shocked when she learned of Lin Jie's plan and even tried to dissuade him several times, but he was determined.
After serving in the army for more than ten years, he wanted to end this kind of life.
Ma Xueling, everything he saw in the disaster area, Chen Fang, Yueyue, and his aging parents, all reminded him that it was time for him to retire.
Yueyue, who lost her mother, needs care and companionship, and Chen Fang also needs him.
Since marrying Chen Fang, he sometimes worries that a tragedy like Ma Xueling's will be rewritten.
He couldn't even imagine what would happen if he suddenly disappeared for a month or two again.
Chen Fang understands and tolerates him. It is undeniable that she is indeed a good woman, and he knows that he should cherish her.
She did so much for him, and he should give her something in return.
Seeing that her persuasion was useless, Chen Fang expressed her respect for his decision.
Lin Jie had only mentioned this matter to Captain Hao, and he had not yet figured out how to bring it up to Ji Lianqi, with whom he had a life-and-death friendship.
But truth cannot be hidden. Just a few days before the Chinese New Year, Ji Lianqi found out about this matter from somewhere.
Faced with Ji Lianqi's covert "spying", Lin Jie chose to escape.
The two of them joined the army in the same year, experienced several life and death situations, and their relationship is extraordinary.
Even when they were full of ambition, they swore together: as long as they were alive and as long as the army still needed them, they would stay in the army for one more day!
He once said it with such confidence, but now he is thinking about retiring from the army.
Because the relationship was too close, he could never open his mouth to Ji Lianqi, and he didn't know how to say it.
Until one day, Ji Lianqi hinted to him again, but he still played dumb and didn't give a direct answer.
Ji Lianqi couldn't help but punch him several times, with a rare look of anger on his face: "Lin Jie, I always treated you as a good brother, but you didn't even tell me that you were going to retire! I even heard this news from other people!"
Lin Jie stiffened his body, pretended to be calm, turned around and glanced at Ji Lianqi: "I don't know what you are talking about."
To his surprise, Ji Lianqi rushed over and punched him twice on the chin.
He didn't dare to look at Ji Lianqi's eyes at this moment. After being beaten, he walked away silently.
After returning home, Chen Fang had already prepared dinner.
There was a table full of dishes and a big duck in sauce.
"What day is today?"
Chen Fang smiled and said, "There weren't many days, so I accidentally did more."
Unconsciously noticing the bruises on Lin Jie's face, she frowned slightly and asked, "What happened to your face? Who hit you?"
Lin Jie touched the painful spot and sighed, "Boss knows that I want to retire."
"You didn't tell him?" Chen Fang was slightly surprised.
"no."
"It's reasonable for him to be angry. You two have such a good relationship."
"I know, I just didn't know how to tell him! And he knew it first."
Lin Jie was helpless. He glanced at the table full of food that they couldn't finish and pointed at the big duck with pickled mustard sauce. "Chen Fang, please send some pickled mustard sauce to Lao Ji's family."
“It’s not convenient for me to go there now.”
"good."
Chen Fang cut a large plate of duck in sauce and sent it to Ji Lianqi's home.
Chen Fang seldom went out, but she had seen the person who opened the door from a distance before: Ji Lianqi's wife Ye Ying.
But it seemed that Ye Ying had never seen her before, and she looked a little confused at the moment.
Not long after, Ji Lianqi came out. Chen Fang wanted to take this opportunity to explain a few words for Lin Jie, but before she could say a word, the door was closed.
Chen Fang had no choice but to take the large plate of duck back intact.
"He doesn't want it?" Lin Jie asked as he entered the door.
"Well, no." Chen Fang put the duck back on the table. "I think you should find a chance to explain it to others. Captain Ji looks unhappy."
Lin Jie nodded, "I understand. I'll talk to him about it in two days."
Perhaps he was wrong in this matter.
