"If you hadn't come tonight, I would have planned to go to my uncle's place tomorrow morning."
After saying this, Senior Brother Seven winked at her, picked up the teacup, stood up, walked to the door and looked outside.
I saw that the nurses on duty were dozing off, and several old colleagues had either left or were whispering to each other.
After returning, he whispered, "Don't worry. The eldest brother has sent back word that the little ones are jumping around happily and doing well.
When they were on leave or visiting their comrades in the hospital, the children made a special trip to visit their brothers."
Zhou Jiao breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, "That's good."
Seventh Senior Brother glanced at her and said, "Stop worrying about it! Look at your face. They're fine, but you're the first to fall down. The eldest brother, the fourth brother, and the eighth brother are all there. What can happen?"
Zhou Jiao lazily leaned back in the chair and smiled: "Okay, I'll go back and eat five meals a day and try to become a big fat man."
"Forget about the fat guy. Go out more and don't stay at home all the time. It's easy to have wild thoughts when you're alone."
"Okay, I haven't dared to stay with my master for too long recently, for fear that he would see through me."
"The old man is very shrewd. He told us a few days ago that you were going to be reduced to pieces again. He was also worried about the children, but he just couldn't bear to blame you for being cruel."
"hey-hey……"
"There's no point in giggling. Take care of yourself and don't let the old man worry too much. He's going to get another whole old hen from somewhere these days, and he said he plans to stew it to nourish you. Don't put it off when the time comes, just eat it all, okay?"
Zhou Jiao was grateful for the care and concern of her master and fellow brothers, and she agreed with a smile.
The two chatted for a while, and he had to go back to work, so Zhou Jiao returned to the ward.
Time passed bit by bit, and dawn gradually broke in the sky.
Miao Lishan looked at Zhou Jiao's pale face and felt very distressed. The child had already looked bad last night. "I'll be here with them. You go back and rest first."
Zhou Jiao shook her head slightly at her, "It's time for you to go to work first, I'll wait."
What are you waiting for?
Of course, we have to wait for the old lady and the old man to rest, and also wait for Cheng's second cousin to be notified and arrive at the hospital.
When it was time for the doctors to change shifts at the hospital, Senior Brother Seven came over specially, checked Cheng Shaoning's post-operative condition, and also wrote an order to hang a large bottle for Zhou Jiao.
With this horrible look on his face, if he really fell down, he would be beaten to death by his uncle and fellow senior brothers!
It was past noon and Cheng Shaoning still hadn't woken up. Seeing that half of the 24 hours had passed, even the calm old lady Cheng began to panic.
When Cheng's second aunt got the news and rushed over, both the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were already in tears. In the end, Old Cheng let his daughter-in-law go in and kept talking in his grandson's ear.
I don’t know whether it’s the power of maternal love or Cheng Shaoning’s destiny.
He finally woke up in the evening.
It would be an exaggeration to say that he had woken up. Just the movement of his fingers was enough to make his worried relatives and friends outside the ward shed tears of joy.
A series of doctors entered the ward and half an hour later, announced that the patient was out of danger.
The moment Cheng's second cousin fell down, Zhou Jiao burst into tears.
She missed her son too.
By the evening, Cheng Shaoning still couldn't speak. Perhaps being transferred from the intensive care unit to the general ward was undoubtedly a happy event.
Only then did Zhou Jiao see many seriously injured soldiers.
Many of them had injuries to their heads, legs, or were bandaged all over their bodies, but all the injured soldiers were strong soldiers.
They were still exhausted from the smoke of war and had begun to ask themselves when they would be discharged from the hospital.
It was also from these brief sentences that Zhou Jiao realized that they were all eager to go to the front line at this moment to avenge their sacrificed comrades.
Originally, Zhou Jiao wanted to wait until Cheng Shaoning's health improved, then ask if he had seen the three Ping'an brothers and learn about the situation on the front line. However, seeing the attitude of these soldiers who refused to reveal a single word, she decided to give up.
Maybe there is something that needs to be kept secret.
However, when Zhou Jiao accompanied the old lady home to rest, she heard some information she provided.
When Miao Lishan came home from get off work, she saw her alone, curled up on the sofa with her knees hugged.
"Still not awake?"
Zhou Jiao shook her head at her. "He woke up around four in the afternoon and is out of danger now. The doctor said he'll be fine after three months of rest."
Miao Lishan clasped her hands together and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Should we go there again tonight?"
"No need, my cousins have already arranged their shifts. My aunt also said that we should rest and relax first. Mom, you should go to bed early tonight."
Miao Lishan heaved a sigh of relief. "That's good. I'll go there tomorrow morning. I've been very busy lately, and the child wouldn't be able to handle it if I stayed up all night like last night."
Not to mention her, Zhou Jiao herself felt physically overwhelmed. She didn't notice it at the time, but after the child woke up, she felt sore all over. After settling the old lady down, she slept in the car all the way to her doorstep.
"Did the doctor say when Xiaoning will be able to speak?" Miao Lishan explained to her, "I mean, he should be able to talk smoothly. I want to ask him about the children."
Zhou Jiao smiled immediately, "My Seventh Senior Brother said the children are jumping around happily, which is great."
Miao Lishan looked at her with surprise, "Really?"
Zhou Jiao nodded decisively: "It's absolutely true. There were so many people in the hospital at the time that I couldn't tell you because I was afraid they would misunderstand."
"Heaven bless you, earth bless you, I'm glad you're not hurt." Miao Lishan closed her glasses and bowed outwards. "Let's not talk about whether it's right or not. Your aunt cried until her eyes were swollen last night. It would be bad if I get too excited and reveal my true identity."
"I'm glad he wasn't hurt. Seeing Xiaoning like this, you have no idea how scared Mom was. People are biased. I was lucky it wasn't my child..."
Zhou Jiao interrupted her angrily, "Mom! What nonsense are you talking about?"
Miao Lishan looked outside and shook her hand. "Okay, no one heard it. I was just saying it in front of you. But I prayed until the early hours of last night that the child would wake up safely."
Zhou Jiao shook her head with a smile. Human nature is selfish, and she herself is not great. If the knife didn't cut herself, who would know how painful it would be?
"Did your dad call today?"
"If there is, it has to be at night."
Miao Lishan sighed, "Alas... I'd better not call home as much. I'm afraid he'll call home, but I'm also afraid he won't call back."
"Your dad is really that busy, isn't he? I haven't seen him in ages. He's been in there for a week now, and I wonder how he eats.
I wonder if he'll be back this weekend? He should be back to pick up his clothes, right? I hung up the phone in a hurry last night, and I forgot to ask him..."
Zhou Jiao listened to her mother's mumbling and swallowed the words she was about to say.
Let’s not talk about what the old lady said before I came back.
She didn't care how much merit her children could achieve; her greatest wish was for them to return home safely and early. Her mother was afraid, so how could she not be afraid?
The achievements of the children showed how many dangers they had encountered and how many times they had been on the verge of life and death. Whenever she thought of this, her heart suffocated.
If she really told her mother this news, she would inevitably be worried again.
It's the same reason why her father didn't tell her and her mother.
She didn't believe that her father, who had been in charge of the headquarters until now, would not get any news about the children.
But what good can it do to say it?
It just adds to their worries.
