In the 1960s,
More than a month later, He Liyuan could not only walk, but also start jogging. In order to return to the army as soon as possible, he got up before dawn every day to exercise.
By the time he finished practicing boxing and was about to start running, many old men and women had already gotten up to exercise.
Most of the people who run are old men in good health, while most of the old ladies gather together to do some exercises that are both exercise-friendly and not too intense.
He Liyuan had been training for over half a month. When he first came out, the elderly men and women couldn't help but stare at him. After all, the rumors had spread like wildfire, saying he likely wouldn't wake up, and even if he did, he'd be bedridden for the rest of his life. They also said his face and body were ruined, and that his face was enough to scare people to tears. But when they saw him, they thought it wasn't such an exaggeration. Wasn't his face the same as before? And his body looked fine, too, able to run and jump.
After getting used to it, the old men and women stopped staring at him. But every time they saw him, these old ladies, who had a boring life and could only spend their time talking about family matters, couldn't help but start discussing him.
"Do you think the Wen family regrets this now? After He Liyuan was sent back from the battlefield, less than a month later, their Wen Han married someone else. They must have thought He Liyuan wouldn't wake up, so they rushed the marriage. But now, it's only been three or four months, and He Liyuan has recovered as before. If they had waited a little longer, it would definitely be Wen Han who married He Liyuan."
"I heard that the He family's daughter-in-law is the granddaughter of the miraculous doctor Luo Guyang. She has all of Luo Guyang's prescriptions. It is because of these prescriptions that He Liyuan recovered so quickly. If the He family hadn't married this daughter-in-law, He Liyuan might still be lying unconscious in bed."
"This miraculous doctor, Luo Guyang, was very famous back then. Even many foreign heads of state came to him for treatment. His prescriptions are now in the hands of his grandson. The He family married his grandson, and the biggest beneficiaries are the He family. Even the old lady of the He family can now stand up."
"Is this true?! Old Madam He has been half-paralyzed for several years? I heard she consulted many famous doctors, but they all said she couldn't be cured. Now she can even stand up?"
"I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be false? The other day I went to their house to borrow something, and I saw Mrs. He standing in the yard with Su Lan supporting her. I was so surprised at the time. After asking around, I found out that she had been drinking the medicine prescribed by He Liyuan's wife, and had acupuncture and massage every day. Now she can stand for about ten minutes every day, and with gradual exercise, she will be able to walk in the future."
"He's truly worthy of being the miraculous doctor Luo Guyang. He saved countless lives back then, and even now, the prescriptions he left behind are so miraculous."
"Didn't someone say before that even if He Liyuan woke up, there would be no hope in this life, so their family bought him a boy from a merchant family?"
"Those are all Li Yiyue's words. Don't you know what kind of person she is? I heard from my granddaughter-in-law that the Yue family is not an ordinary small merchant. They have a large family business. The last thing they lack is money. How could they go to the extent of selling their own children? What's more, he is the grandson of the legendary doctor Luo Guyang. He has prescriptions that others can't get even if they beg for them."
"Isn't it? His family must have known that he could cure He Liyuan, so they agreed to let him marry into the He family."
"I think the Wen family must be regretting it now. With Mr. He's status, plus He Liyuan's own abilities and personality, is there anyone better than him in our military region?"
"I don't think there's anything to regret. Although the Ning family is not as good as the He family, Ning Haobo is not bad either. He was promoted to squadron leader last month. My grandson went to celebrate with him several times."
"I heard that the daughter-in-law of the He family was previously engaged to Ning Haobo, but Ning Haobo broke off the engagement in order to marry Wen Han, and then the daughter-in-law of the He family married He Liyuan."
"This is really a mess. I'm afraid it will be awkward for the Wen and He families to even meet each other in the future."
After He Liyuan finished his exercise, he was about to jog home when a jeep drove up behind him and stopped. A wealthy middle-aged man got out of the car.
"He Liyuan!" the middle-aged man yelled after getting off the car.
He Liyuan immediately turned around, ran up to the middle-aged man and saluted, "Hello, Brigade Commander!"
"How is your recovery?" asked the brigade commander.
"He's recovering well. In half a month, he'll be able to report back to the army."
"Boy, you've narrowly escaped death this time. I knew even the King of Hell wouldn't want you." The brigade commander suddenly asked, "There's a military competition in half a month. Can you participate?"
"able!"
The brigade commander nodded and said with satisfaction, "You have made a great contribution this time. You are lucky enough to be alive and accept this honor. Report back to the troops quickly. There are very important missions waiting for you."
"yes!"
"Okay, come home when you have time and ask your aunt to cook you a good meal." The brigade commander patted his arm and turned to get in the car.
The brigade commander's wife was a renowned cook, and He Liyuan had tasted her cooking before, and it was indeed delicious. But after trying Tao Yuan's cooking, He Liyuan felt that no one else's cooking could compare to the taste.
Thinking of Tao Yuan, He Liyuan quickened his pace and ran home.
He Liyuan opened the door and tiptoed in. Tao Yuan was still asleep. He walked to the bedside, bent over, and looked at the delicate, rosy sleeping face for a while. He couldn't help but want to raise his hand to touch it, but he was afraid of waking him up.
He Liyuan simply squatted down and read it carefully. This person made him feel grateful and moved, and also made him experience the feeling of going from liking someone to falling in love with someone. He originally thought that he would never fall in love with anyone in his life, and would only choose the right person, respect each other, and live a simple life.
But after falling in love with the person in front of him, he deeply realized that falling in love with someone is such a wonderful thing. Especially this person, when he fell in love with him, already belonged to him, and he felt very happy just thinking about it.
After glancing at the clock on the wall, He Liyuan got up and walked into the bathroom. After taking a shower and drying his hair, he came out of the bathroom.
Tao Yuan hadn't woken up yet, so He Liyuan leaned over and kissed his face, then his mouth. He had originally wanted to wake him up, but the touch of his face was so good, and his lips were so soft and sweet, that he couldn't help but hold them in his mouth and kiss them again and again, while his hands kept touching him inside his pajamas.
"Hmm~" Tao Yuan made a protesting sound, unwilling to wake up from his sleep.
He Liyuan didn't mind. The longer he stayed, the longer he could kiss her.
Tao Yuan finally opened his eyes with difficulty, kissed him back for a while, then pushed his face away and complained, "Why did you wake me up so early?"
"You have to go to the hospital today, have you forgotten?" He Liyuan rubbed his smooth face.
"I don't want to go. I want to sleep." Tao Yuan frowned, looking reluctant, but he was just saying that. He had to go, as he had already told the doctors.
"Come back and sleep." He Liyuan picked him up and said, "Eat breakfast first, then I'll take you there."
Although Tao Yuan was a skilled cook, the He family felt sorry for him and didn't let him get up early every day to make breakfast. Instead, they asked him to sleep in a little longer. Tao Yuan simply taught the family chef how to make breakfast himself. Although the food wasn't exactly the same as his, it had about 70% of his flavor.
Tao Yuan leaned on He Liyuan for a while, and only got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up after he was fully awake.
He Liyuan hugged him from behind. When he thought about not being able to be with him all day and night after returning to the army, he felt a little reluctant. This was the first time he felt reluctant to go back to the army.
Tao Yuan leaned against him, brushing his teeth with half-open eyes. He Liyuan wet and wrung out a towel for him, then handed it to him to wash his face. Although He Liyuan's body had become stiff again after he started exercising, it was still quite comfortable to lean against him. Tao Yuan didn't want to move after leaning against him.
The two went to the restaurant together, and the family sat together to eat breakfast. They looked very happy and full of happiness.
"I plan to report back to the army a few days in advance." He Liyuan said suddenly.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Su Lan said dissatisfiedly, "You've only been here for a short time. What's wrong with taking a few more days off? It's a good opportunity to spend more time with Ruqing. Once you return to the army, you won't be able to see me for another ten days or half a month."
"I met our brigade commander this morning. He said there's a martial arts competition in half a month. I haven't trained for a long time, so I want to get back into shape quickly. I won't be away for ten days or half a month again. As long as I can come back, I will definitely come back every time."
"A martial arts competition?!" Su Lan put down the bowl and said seriously, "How can that be possible? You've only just recovered, how can you participate in a martial arts competition? Those who participate in martial arts competitions in the army are all trained martial artists, and they fight their own people like they're enemies. Can your newly grown bones withstand such a beating?!"
"I'm well now. As long as I can get back into shape, there will be no problem for me to participate in the competition." He Liyuan answered seriously.
"Just let him go. This competition is quite important. If he can't participate, he'll regret it later." He Huaimin held a civilian position in the military, responsible for political and ideological education. He also served as a military advisor during battles and exercises. However, as a soldier, he still supported his son and believed he could achieve more honors through military force.
With her parents-in-law both present, Su Lan couldn't get angry, so she could only look at Tao Yuan and say, "Ruqing, is Li Yuan's current health suitable for participating in the competition?"
He Liyuan looked at Tao Yuan nervously. If Tao Yuan said no, his mother would definitely not agree to let him go.
Tao Yuan glanced at him, put down his bowl and said, "His bones have grown back, so it's no problem for him to participate in training. Since he wants to participate, let him participate."
He Liyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Tao Yuan continued, "But these are newly grown bones, so they're definitely not as useful as before. As long as he can handle the pain, even if it's a broken bone, I can heal it."
"I... I will try my best not to break any bones again." He Liyuan promised unconfidently.
"Really?" Tao Yuan had an expression of disbelief. They were soldiers and fought so hard that broken bones in their hands and feet were considered minor injuries.
Since Tao Yuan and He Huaimin both asked him to participate, it would be difficult for Su Lan to insist on opposing it alone.
After breakfast, He Liyuan drove Tao Yuan to the hospital.
The director tried several times to persuade Tao Yuan to work at the military hospital and offered him special treatment, but Tao Yuan refused. He didn't want to be a doctor, and he didn't want to be too busy or tired. He was happy just being at home and talking to the old lady every day.
Although Tao Yuan refused to work at the hospital, the director would always ask him to come over if there were serious patients. He couldn't refuse all the time, so he occasionally took on the responsibility of treating a few patients. However, he didn't go to the hospital every day, only every few days. Those patients were usually treated by the attending physicians.
