Chapter 094: Jijiang
Provincial City Military Region General Hospital, Special Care Ward.
The early spring sunshine shines through the window, reflecting an oblique square on the terrazzo floor in front of the window. There was a young man sitting in a wheelchair in front of the window, looking out the window motionlessly.
Gu Lan peeled an apple, patted him on the shoulder, and handed it over: "It's rare for me, a fairy, to peel an apple for others, so cherish it."
The young man laughed out loud, turned the wheelchair, and it was Gu Qia.
A big blanket covered his legs. His skin was white, his eye sockets were slightly sunken, and he was much thinner. Only when he smiled, his big white teeth were still as vivid.
He took the apple handed by Gu Lan, turned it around in his hand, and said, "It can be seen that it is really difficult to peel an apple, and half of the apple is gone."
Then he took a bite, chewed it with big mouthfuls, and said with a smile: "Isn't it very sweet?"
"Bah!" Gu Lan spat at him, "Look at how you're going to find a partner in the future if you don't know how to coax people."
Gu Qia disagreed: "You'd better go tell your elder brother about this. I'm the one My legs are bad, and it will only take a minute to coax my partner."
Gu Huai, who had been standing at the door of the ward, tilted his head guiltily and said, "What does it have to do with me? Gu Lan glanced at Gu Huai and said, "
We'll deal with brother's matter later. Now, what about you? Do you plan to keep this secret from your family? If you don't write to your family, your father will become suspicious."
Gu Qia's eyes darkened. "Dad is so smart. He can tell even the slightest fluctuation in my thoughts. I'm afraid that my secret will be exposed if I write a letter."
"But with the nature of your job, no news is more terrible than news." Gu Huai said.
Gu Lan was even more ruthless: "If you go missing again, your partner will run away before your grandparents get suspicious."
"I don't have a partner." Gu Qia said firmly.
"Really?" Gu Lan pouted at Gu Huai, "What was the name of the child last time at Uncle Ding's house..."
"Ding Shaowu."
"Yes, that beautiful brother, who is a perfect match for Weiwei."
As soon as he heard " Gu Qia's ears pricked up at the name "Ding Shaowu". He vaguely remembered that the pretty boy from the Grain School had this name?
When he heard Gu Lan say "Weiwei" again, he couldn't hold it back. He turned around in his wheelchair and stared at Gu Lan suspiciously: "Are you talking about Lin Siwei?"
"Yes, it's the Lin Siwei you mentioned in your letter. " We've all met before."
"How come you have met?" Gu Qia wondered, wondering if Lin Siwei didn't live in Yugu Alley. Why did the two of them meet Lin Siwei when they went home for the New Year?
Gu Lan still wanted to tease him, but Gu Huai was honest and told him about the New Year dinner.
While explaining, Gu Qia's wheelchair arrived in front of them: "Okay, you are so happy. You have a party and a meal, leaving me alone in the hospital."
Gu Qia, a big man, this tone is really a bit "Hateful woman".
"Who makes you unwilling to go back?"
Gu Qia looked down at his legs: "I don't want them to see me like this." His voice lowered, a little lonely.
Gu Huai said: "Xiao Qia, as long as you are safe, your family won't care what you look like."
Gu Qia was persistent: "The doctor said it is possible for me to recover. We agreed on three months. One month."
"You have such a stubborn temper. Why didn't I think you were so stubborn before?" Gu Lan whispered, but felt uncomfortable again, "When my elder brother and I go back, we will leave you alone. No? Let your grandparents stay with you. It will be more lively for you."
"They are older and it is not convenient for them to travel. Let grandpa play chess in the park and don't disturb them."
Gu Qia said calmly. He smiled, but it was a bit forced.
Gu Lan's heart ached. This high-spirited heroic brother usually looked like he didn't care about anything, but she knew that what he cared about most was that he might no longer be able to carry out missions in the future. What he cared about most was whether others would look at him with sympathy. .
The last thing he wants is sympathy from others.
Gu Qia was indeed on a special mission and the mission was successfully completed. However, he was shot in the waist and was sent to the nearest hospital.
But those in the barren mountains had limited medical conditions. After emergency treatment, they were sent to the provincial hospital and then to the provincial military headquarters.
But after all, the long journey delayed the injury, and the doctor could not guarantee whether he would be able to regain mobility after the operation.
The army leaders wanted to notify the family members, but Gu Qia was afraid that his grandparents would not be able to bear the blow, so he informed Gu Huai.
Gu Huai rushed to the Provincial Military Headquarters after a long and windy journey from the capital. When he saw Gu Qia, who had just finished the operation, he burst into tears and took a bath directly for his glasses.
It was Gu Qia who woke up from anesthesia and said with a smile: "Why are you crying? I'm still alive."
It is said that when Gu Huai heard this, he cried even louder, alarming a young female doctor who happened to be walking by. The female doctor rushed into the ward and looked at the monitor. Then she breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "It's scary. I thought the hero died."
Because of this sentence, Gu Huai became sullen when he saw the female doctor later. He didn't even appreciate the female doctor treating him to candy.
The doctor said that Gu Qia's operation was successful. The doctor said that Gu Qia was in good condition after the operation. The doctor said that Gu Qia recovered faster than expected... The doctor also said that whether Gu Qia can stand up in the future depends on God's will.
Gu Huai wanted to tell his family, but Gu Qia did not firmly disagree and only allowed him to inform Gu Lan.
But at that time, Gu Lan was performing abroad and it was already the eve of the Spring Festival when he received Gu Huai's letter. He immediately rushed to the Provincial Military Headquarters and met the "battle hero" Gu Qia who was being carefully cared for.
Gu Lan also burst into tears. Fortunately, the young female doctor had learned the lesson well, and Gu Lan ate her candy this time.
Just when the story of the "most handsome fighting hero" having a "Swan Sister" was circulating in the General Surgery Department of the Provincial Army, the "Swan Sister" finally gave in to the "heroic brother" through all kinds of begging and bargaining -
Gu Negotiated a three-month recovery period. If he still can't get out of the wheelchair after three months, accept the reality and tell his father and grandparents.
God knows why time passes so slowly, and only one month has passed since the three-month deadline.
Gu Huai was going back to the capital to continue studying, and Gu Lan was going back to Shencheng to dance her black swan. Before leaving, the three of them got together in the rehabilitation ward of the Provincial Military General.
As soon as he heard them talking about Lin Siwei, Gu Qia thought of that "scheming" little girl.
When he was not on a mission, Gu Qia often laughed while reading her letters. His comrades said he was a bit crazy. Later, he was injured and admitted to the hospital. No matter how crazy he wanted to be, he couldn't.
I would often think of Lin Siwei, and ask the nurse for paper and pen, but after writing more than a dozen words, I finally gave up.
Just like writing a letter to his father, Gu Qia still couldn't grasp it.
He is not a person who can hide his emotions.
"Lin Siwei...have you asked about me?" He finally couldn't help but asked.
Gu Lan pursed his lips and smiled, and gave Gu Huai a proud look, which meant: Look, I guessed this kid.
Gu Huai still didn't know what was going on, so he answered honestly: "I asked..."
He was immediately interrupted by Gu Lan: "Grandma likes Weiwei very much. Are you thinking of being a match for your elder brother?" "
What?" Gu Qia was confused. .
Just now it was Ding Shaowu, how come in the blink of an eye, his love rival turned out to be his eldest brother?
"Brother, did you send Weiwei back? Did grandma still want you to sit with Weiwei at dinner that day?"
"This..." Gu Huai was sweating anxiously again.
Gu Qia was angry: "To mess up the relationship, grandma must have had dizziness again recently."
"No matter what grandma thinks, since I am older, it is normal to find a partner first. Grandpa and grandma also like Weiwei, by the way, I think Dad likes it too. If you don't have any ideas about Weiwei, we can match up with you, the beauty of adulthood."
"No..." Gu Huai wanted to argue again.
How could Gu Lan give him a chance? He patted Gu Qia on the shoulder and said, "Anyway, if you don't hurry back to Jinling and show your face, nothing will happen."
Knowing that she was provoking him, Gu Qia couldn't care less. Face is important, but Lin Siwei... is also very important.
Ding Shaowu can ignore it, but the eldest brother...
Gu Qia thinks that if the eldest brother must find a partner first, the young female doctor outside who loves to give out candy would be a good one.
...
No. 281 Yangchuan Road, Gu Nianshen visited.
"Teacher Hu, two pieces of good news!" Gu Nianshen was so excited that he almost asked which one he wanted to hear first.
"This is a letter written by the provincial leaders to Mr. Hu, inviting him to return to his hometown to have a look. He also said that he would be redressed after suffering injustice for so many years. The province decided to hold a grand welcome party for him."
Hu Qiaoyue took the letter. Her hands, which had always been calm, were trembling slightly. She kept mumbling: "Is it true? Is this true?"
Of course it is true. Although the provincial leader's instructions were simple, the old leader's letter was sincere and he warmly invited Hu Qiaoying to return to his hometown. Moreover, Gu Nianshen said that the province had transferred the materials to the city through relevant departments and asked the city to do a good job. Reception for patriotic old overseas Chinese returning home.
Listen, patriotic old overseas Chinese, this is final.
Hu Qiaoyue read the letter again and again, pinched her fingers twice, and finally believed that she was not dreaming.
It wasn't until she put the letter away that she came back to her senses: "By the way, where are the two pieces of good news you said? And one more?"
"The other one is that the Provincial Army General has made arrangements, Teacher Hu You can go at any time."
"It's so fast." Hu Qiaoyue was really surprised.
"You can see when the time is right. I'll ask someone to buy the train ticket for you."
"Don't bother, I'll just let Siwei buy the train ticket. I want to go as soon as possible." Hu Qiaoyue thought about not seeing each other for decades. Her eldest brother was coming back, and she suddenly had countless expectations for her. She didn't want to appear in front of her brother as a little old lady with a cane.
"Siwei is busy at work, so I'll take care of such small things." Gu Nianshen thought for a while, "In this case, I'll book two train tickets for the day after tomorrow and deliver them to you later. Siwei and I will take care of the rest. "
Hu Qiaoyue was still waiting for Gu Nianshen to hand over to Lin Siwei. Her heart had already flown to the provincial military commander, and she had even flown across the ocean to her brother on the other side of the ocean.
When Lin Siwei came back from get off work, he found that half of grandma's luggage was packed.
