Lu Lin and Jiang Manyue looked at each other without saying anything. Li Guifen saw that there was no movement after Jiang Manyue went to open the door, so she put down the things in her hands and walked over.
"It's the full moon, who's here? Why didn't you say anything?"
Li Guifen walked to the door while talking, and was stunned when she saw that it was Lu Lin standing outside.
"You, why are you back? You didn't even send me a letter beforehand. Why is it so sudden?"
Lu Lin had only been back in the army for a short time, only about two months at most. He came back so soon that Li Guifen felt a little nervous.
Jiang Manyue turned sideways and made way. "Come in first. What's the point of standing at the door?"
Lu Lin walked in silently and into the main hall. Li Guifen couldn't believe what she was thinking and asked, "Ah Lin, why did you come back this time? Didn't you just return to the army after your leave? It's only been a short time, why are you back again?"
Jiang Manyue also found it strange. Even if Lu Lin had a leave, he shouldn't have been given another home leave just two months after returning to the army.
Lu Lin seemed to be organizing his words, and his hesitation made Li Guifen anxious.
"Tell me! You're such a worry, kid. Why did you come back?"
"I was slightly injured, but it's not a big deal. I just had a minor operation and was just discharged from the hospital. My superiors gave me special permission to go home and recuperate for a while. I'll return to the army after I'm well."
Lu Lin was injured and his superiors specially approved him to go home to recuperate. He had no way of lying and could only tell the truth.
However, his injuries were not that serious. He was just accidentally hit by a bullet in the chest near the shoulder. After a minor operation to remove the bullet, he was fine.
However, due to the shortage of beds in the military hospital, he should be discharged when he had almost recovered, and the dormitory was not suitable for recuperation, so his superiors specially approved him to go home to recuperate.
When Li Guifen heard that her son was injured, she felt dizzy and almost fainted.
Lu Lin supported her and said, "Mom, it's not that serious. I'm sitting here fine. It's just a minor injury and I'll recover soon."
Li Guifen grabbed his hand and asked tremblingly, "Son, tell me the truth, are you going home to recuperate or are you discharged from the army because of your injury?"
There was a soldier in the next brigade who was injured and retired to go home to farm. Li Guifen was afraid that Lu Lin was in the same situation, but she didn't dare to tell her directly, so she lied to her and said that everything was fine.
Jiang Manyue also became nervous. Although Lu Lin did not look like he had suffered any serious injuries, soldiers were required to have high physical fitness. Maybe he really had to retire due to injury and did not dare to say it. He wanted to calm his parents first and then slowly confess later.
Lu Lin laughed, "Mom, what are you thinking? I'm only slightly injured, why should I be discharged from the army?"
Li Guifen didn't believe it and insisted on seeing Lu Lin's injury. Lu Lin had no choice but to unbutton his shirt, but when he thought of Jiang Manyue still beside him, he stopped.
"Hey, hurry up and untie it! Why are you so embarrassed? One is your biological mother and the other is your wife. How can they take advantage of you?"
Li Guifen was so anxious that she almost unbuttoned her clothes herself. Lu Lin had no choice but to continue unbuttoning the buttons below.
Jiang Manyue did not walk away. She also wanted to see how serious Lu Lin's injuries were. And since he had unbuttoned his shirt, it meant that the injury was on his upper body. There was nothing wrong with seeing it.
Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about the summer harvest a few days ago. Some male team members took off their clothes when they were hot and worked in the fields with their bare chests. Everyone could see it, so what was there to be embarrassed about?
Jiang Manyue didn't care about this and stared at Lu Lin as he unbuttoned his shirt.
Being stared at like this, Lu Lin's face turned slightly red. After unbuttoning his clothes, he took off the left half of his sleeve, revealing the wound still covered with gauze.
"Mom, the wound isn't big. It's just a small piece of gauze. It should be fine. I won't be discharged from the army."
As she spoke, Jiang Manyue also gestured for Lu Lin to move his left arm to see if his movements were restricted.
Lu Lin cooperated by moving his left arm to show it to Li Guifen, which made Li Guifen feel a little relieved.
"You scared your mother to death. Look at you, you don't pay attention. Didn't the doctor say when you can be completely healed?"
Although it looked like a minor injury, Li Guifen was also worried that if the recovery took a long time, it would affect Lu Lin's work in the army.
"The doctor said that as long as the scar is gone, it won't affect my training, and I can return to the army. The wound is still healing, and I estimate it will take about a month."
When she heard it would take another month, Li Guifen became worried again, "That's not a minor injury. Who needs a month to recover after being discharged from the hospital with a minor injury?"
Jiang Manyue almost couldn't catch her breath after hearing this, and she kept coughing because of choking.
Lu Lin looked at her with a puzzled look in his eyes.
Li Guifen quickly patted her back and said to Lu Lin, "Look at your wife. When she heard that your injury would take so long to recover, she was so worried that she kept coughing."
Lu Lin was speechless for a while, but he didn't dare to refute, so he could only lower his head silently.
Jiang Manyue recovered and quickly volunteered to clean up Lu Lin's room.
"Mom, Lu Lin is injured and needs to rest. I'll go clean up my eldest brother's room for him to stay in."
Having said that, Jiang Manyue hurried to clean up the room, fearing that Li Guifen would ask her to sleep with Lu Lin again.
She walked out of the main room quickly, and Li Guifen called her from behind, "Man Yue, stop working. A Lin's injury isn't serious, and he's fine. There's no need for him to rest. You two can just sleep together. You can still take care of him at night."
Jiang Manyue's steps froze, and she slowly turned around. She wanted to struggle, but she heard Li Guifen speak again.
"Alin's injury is on his shoulder. It might be inconvenient for him to pour water at night. During the full moon, you two will sleep together. I hope you can take care of him."
Jiang Manyue had no idea how to refute her, so she had to pin her hopes on Lu Lin, hoping that he would ask Li Guifen to live alone.
Unfortunately, Lu Lin didn't express his opinion at all and seemed to have completely accepted Li Guifen's arrangement.
Seeing that Lu Lin had no objection and Jiang Manyue did not say anything, Li Guifen couldn't help but feel happy. She quickly picked up Lu Lin's luggage and was about to put it in Jiang Manyue's room.
Jiang Manyue stretched out her hand, but it was difficult to stop her, so she watched her put the luggage into her room.
She turned to look at Lu Lin and saw him looking at her with an innocent face.
"Mom is right. It's really not very convenient for me. Please take care of me at night."
Jiang Manyue was furious. "Weren't you able to move your left arm freely just now? Why is it so inconvenient to pour water at night?"
Lu Lin still smiled apologetically, "Also, my wound needs to be dressed every other day. I can't see the wound very well, so I might need to trouble you to change the dressing for me."
