Chapter 88
After Pei Xingzhi left, Meng Wanqiu asked Meng Mingxia whether he wanted to return to the military region.
Meng Mingxia pondered for a moment and answered that he would obey orders.
At that time, Meng Wanqiu didn't know what to say.
Her original plan was to take Meng Mingxia back with her, but now that Meng Mingxia gave such an answer, it was obvious that she no longer followed her plan.
Meng Mingxia sighed at his sister's silence, but did not say anything to comfort her.
He was a soldier, and so was their father. Therefore, both Meng Mingxia and Meng Wanqiu understood that military orders were as heavy as a mountain, and that a soldier's duty was to obey them.
"Captain, I'm back." Wang Jianren hadn't come in yet, but he had already heard his voice.
"Whatever the commander says, that's how we'll arrange things here." Meng Mingxia sat up, and Meng Wanqiu stuffed a pillow behind him so he could lean on it.
This is a soldier's habit. When listening to orders from superiors, they always hold their heads high and chest out with an upright posture.
Wang Jian: "Well, the division commander is very happy to hear that you've woken up. He told you to rest well, because your injuries are very serious. You don't have to rush back to the army. He has given you leave directly and told you to return after you have recovered."
"Vacation!?" the brother and sister said in unison.
Early summer brings surprise, and late autumn brings joy.
Meng Mingxia asked Wang Jian, "Is this your vacation? Have you dealt with your military affairs?"
Wang Jian scratched his head. "The commander told you to rest well and not worry about this. There's nothing to worry about right now."
Hearing this, Meng Mingxia asked again, "What about you guys?"
Wang Jian stood at the foot of the bed and said as a matter of course, "Of course we'll take a vacation too. We'll be back after the New Year. Hehe, I haven't been home for a long time. I don't know how happy my parents and my wife are this time."
Seeing Wang Jian's happy expression, his expression softened. "Okay, remember to buy some nice things for the old couple and sister-in-law when you go back. Don't be so naive and just give them money. The old people won't be willing to spend it."
Wang Jian nodded, "I understand, Captain."
"So when do you plan to go back? Have you bought your ticket? Do you plan to take the train or the bus..."
Seeing Meng Mingxia nagging like an old woman, Meng Wanqiu was quite amused. The boy who once worried his parents, who scolded him every day and beat him every three days, had now grown into a responsible and upright man who was close to and trusted by his comrades.
Among the three people sent here, Wang Jian recovered the best. If it weren't for taking care of Meng Mingxia and another comrade Xu Feng, Wang Jian would have been discharged from the hospital long ago with only the minor skin injuries left on his body.
Now, Meng Mingxia, who had worried him, has woken up, and Xu Feng's home is in Y Province. His family is well-off and he will be able to go to the hospital tomorrow. Both comrades have someone to take care of them, so Wang Jian is no longer worried.
I packed my things that day, bought a ticket home, and left the next day.
After Meng Mingxia asked Wang Jian about his plans, he hurriedly changed his clothes and left, rushing to the train station to buy a ticket home tomorrow.
There were only two siblings left in the ward.
Since Uncle Song gave Meng Mingxia a vacation, Meng Wanqiu did not hide it and told Meng Mingxia her previous plan.
"Go back to July 15th with you?"
"Yes." Meng Wanqiu nodded. "In ten days or so, we will also be on vacation. Then, second brother, you can return to Qinghe Village with us. During this time, I will help you recuperate and try to make sure you can move around freely before returning home so that you don't worry your parents."
Meng Wanqiu's words made sense, and Meng Mingxia did not hesitate and agreed without hesitation.
Pei Xingzhi hadn't returned yet, so the brother and sister chatted casually, talking about family matters and whether Xixi was well behaved. Meng Wanqiu told her about Pei Xixi being carried around by the dog all day, which made Meng Mingxia laugh.
When Meng Dongran was born, Meng Mingxia had already joined the army and had never met him. The two next generation of the Meng family, Xixi and Zhuangzhuang Meng Dongran, had a very close relationship, so Meng Mingxia felt very sorry that she had not been able to see the two little ones grow up.
"What are you laughing at?" Pei Xingzhi came back.
"Xingzhi is back. What did that vice president say to you?" Meng Mingxia asked.
Pei Xingzhi walked in and sat down next to Meng Wanqiu, habitually holding Meng Wanqiu's hand in his own.
"Oh, the vice president's surname is Zhao, and he is Zhao Xiaoyun's father. He wants us to sign a letter of understanding, give up pursuing the matter, and then give us some benefits." Pei Xingzhi briefly told the two of them about his conversation with Zhao Shanhe.
"Ha! No wonder Zhao Xiaoyun is so arrogant. It turns out her father is the vice president. She really has the capital to be arrogant."
Meng Wanqiu leaned on Pei Xingzhi's shoulder and spoke thoughtfully.
Meng Mingxia's face darkened. "What letter of apology? If you don't give it to me, I'll call Uncle Song and ask him to handle it."
Their soldiers and their families were bullied in the hospital, but the leaders not only did not deal with the situation, but instead protected the culprit. This is simply too much.
"Xingzhi, don't worry about it. I will handle it when the time comes." Meng Mingxia said to Pei Xingzhi.
Pei Xingzhi nodded.
As for the benefits that Zhao Shanhe promised, none of them cared. They all had their own jobs and were not active in the city, so Zhao Shanhe's promise was not attractive at all.
The matter was forgotten. It was getting late. Meng Wanqiu took the ingredients she had bought earlier and went to the small kitchen in the hospital to make a medicinal meal for Meng Mingxia.
The couple just ate some food in the hospital cafeteria using national food coupons.
The accommodation problem was also simple. There was a guesthouse outside the hospital. Meng Wanqiu booked a room with a letter of introduction and moved in.
At this time, couples are not allowed to live together, even if they have a marriage certificate.
However, Meng Mingxia's ward was a single room, so Pei Xingzhi stayed to keep watch and take care of Meng Mingxia, and spent the night on the sofa next to her.
They stayed like this for two nights, and on the third day, the three of them prepared to leave.
At first, Meng Wanqiu planned to complete the discharge procedures for Meng Mingxia the next day. She thought she could be discharged smoothly, but the old doctor stopped her.
Although Meng Mingxia recovered quickly, his wounds hadn't fully healed, and he remained very weak. Out of medical ethics, the old doctor refused to approve the treatment and even scolded the three men.
The old doctor was a very nice person. He stopped them for the patients' own good, so the three of them were not angry. They listened quietly to the old doctor's sermon without repetition.
However, there is still a little kid at home. If he stays outside any longer, not only the parents Meng Wanqiu and Pei Xingzhi will be worried, but the uncle Meng Mingxia will also be worried.
So, even though the old doctor was spitting all over their faces, they still tried to pull out the hair from the tiger's butt and secretly contacted Uncle Song, asking Uncle Song to come forward and persuade the old doctor.
Uncle Song knew that Meng Wanqiu was a disciple of Taoist Master Buxuzi. After hearing Meng Wanqiu's method of quickly helping Meng Mingxia recover, Uncle Song readily agreed.
He contacted his friend in the hospital, who happened to be the dean. He also informed the dean about the vice dean's family.
On the third day, the dean cheerfully handled the discharge procedures for Meng Mingxia. He told the three that he would handle Zhao Xiaoyun's matter, and they stopped caring. They were certainly relieved that Uncle Song had entrusted them with their care.
We went back in Su Weiguang's car again, which was a pleasant surprise.
Originally, the 715 procurement convoy was to go every three days, and this day happened to be the third day. Meng Wanqiu and Pei Xingzhi did not go home during these days, and Su Weiguang also knew about this.
This time when he came to the city, Su Weiguang went to the hospital specifically to visit a patient, but he didn't expect to run into a few people who were just leaving the hospital.
Well, Meng Wanqiu originally planned to go to the bus station to take the bus back, and was worried that there would be too many people and Meng Mingxia would be squeezed. But now she met Su Weiguang from the factory. Her luck was so good.
In this way, the couple, along with the patient Meng Mingxia, got on Su Weiguang's car and returned to the July 15th.
Let’s not talk about this for now, let’s see how the old dean handles the Zhao family’s affairs.
The city hospital had one director and two vice-directors. The old director, now elderly, was largely inactive, so responsibilities fell to Zhao Shanhe and another vice-director. Zhao Shanhe oversaw medical and academic matters, while the other handled miscellaneous hospital matters.
After parting ways with Pei Xingzhi one day, Zhao Shanhe did not look for him again. In his opinion, Pei Xingzhi was still too young and impetuous, and could not figure things out for a while.
He patiently gave the other party three days. With Pei Xingzhi's intelligence, three days was enough for him to figure it out.
When the three days were up, Zhao Shanhe asked the nurse to invite Pei Xingzhi over again, but the nurse told him that Pei Xingzhi had already left and the patient in room 406 had also been discharged.
Before Zhao Shanhe could finish his astonishment, he was called away by the old dean.
"Dean, do you want to call me for something?"
Zhao Shanhe had great respect for the respected old dean and was very polite in every move he made.
The old dean smiled kindly, "Shanhe is here, please sit down."
Zhao Shanhe sat down on the chair next to him and noticed an open envelope in front of the old dean.
The old dean looked at Zhao Shanhe, a trace of pity flashing in his cloudy eyes. He pushed the envelope in front of him towards Zhao Shanhe and said, "Shanhe, open it and take a look."
Zhao Shanhe didn't understand what was going on, but he took the envelope and opened it. After taking a closer look, Zhao Shanhe's face changed and became very ugly.
The hand holding the paper trembled uncontrollably.
The old dean lowered his head, took the cup beside him and took a sip slowly.
Zhao Shanhe flipped through the pages one by one, but there were actually dozens of sheets of paper in this letter.
Each one recorded in detail all the evidence of bribery against his wife and daughter since he returned and took the position of vice president.
The paper slipped from his hand, and Zhao Shanhe collapsed into the chair exhausted, his face seeming to have aged dozens of years in an instant.
"Mountains and rivers—"
"Dean, please stop talking. I, Zhao Shanhe, am willing to accept any punishment." Zhao Shanhe said weakly.
The old dean nodded and said nothing more. Then the dean's office was pushed open from the outside, and two men in plain clothes entered.
One of them nodded to the old dean, then showed his ID to Zhao Shanhe and said in a calm tone, "Please come with us."
Zhao Shanhe had been taken away, and his wife and daughter had been taken away before him. They were now in a closed room, screaming hysterically, shouting, "Do you know who my father is?" and "Do you know who my husband is?"
The people around turned a deaf ear.
After Zhao Shanhe left, the old dean sat quietly in his office, recalling the origin of the letter of complaint in his mind.
last night.
The old dean was still lamenting that Zhao Shanhe really didn't know how to discipline his children. Didn't he understand that spoiling a child is like killing him?
The well-educated Zhao Shanhe certainly understood this, but selfishness prevailed and made him lose his discipline.
Bang bang——
There was a knock on the office door and an elderly female voice sounded.
"Dean, I'm Zhao Shanyue.
"There's something I want to give you."
