Although Lu Jinyuan could not move normally, he could get up and take a few steps on his own without anyone's help.
Early that morning, Ran Jinnian dressed him in a military uniform, making him look smart and energetic.
She borrowed a wheelchair from the hospital and pushed him to the military region herself.
Today, the military region will award prizes to the soldiers who participated in earthquake relief efforts.
Lu Jinyuan was naturally also present.
He really wanted to walk there himself, but his current physical condition wouldn't allow it; sitting in a wheelchair was already the best he could do.
Ran Jinnian was looking at the stairs, wondering how to get down, when a group of greenhorns rushed up: "Commander, Commander!"
When Lu Jinyuan saw their energetic faces, his blood boiled.
"Sister-in-law, let us help." The young men each lifted a section of the wheelchair, easily carrying Lu Jinyuan down.
Ran Jinnian smiled and said, "Thank you."
Everyone was somewhat dazed when they saw Ran Jinnian's smile.
"Sister-in-law, let's push it."
"OK."
Ran Jinnian did not refuse everyone's kindness.
A young man pushed Lu Jinyuan in a wheelchair, and everyone walked beside Ran Jinnian, heading towards the military region's assembly hall.
The sun rises slowly from the east, shining warmly on people.
Great Hall.
As soon as everyone reached the door, they made way for each other, saying, "Sister-in-law, come here."
Ran Jinnian pushed Lu Jinyuan inside.
At this time, the Great Hall of the People was already full of people, but the leaders had not yet arrived.
Today, not only soldiers came, but also the military spouses from the family compound.
As soon as Ran Jinnian entered, everyone's eyes fell on the young couple.
"Didn't they say Commander Lu was feeling better? Why is he still in a wheelchair?"
“This is much better. Before, Commander Lu couldn’t move at all in his hospital bed.”
"Commander Lu deserves the most credit this time. I wonder if he'll get a promotion."
"Promotion? The biggest question is whether he can even get back on his feet right now."
People began to whisper among themselves.
Ran Jinnian pushed Lu Jinyuan to sit in the first row, which was specially arranged for him because of his health condition.
After a while, the leaders arrived one after another.
Everyone went up and said a few words to Lu Jinyuan, then returned to their seats.
As soon as Lin Xiao entered the venue, he was greeted with thunderous applause.
Lin Xiao raised his hand slightly on the stage, his voice heavy with sorrow: "Today, we especially want to express our deepest condolences to the martyrs who bravely sacrificed their lives in the earthquake relief efforts, and to our compatriots who tragically lost their lives in the earthquake disaster!"
"Everyone, please stand and observe a moment of silence for them."
Everyone stood up, bowed their heads, and began to observe a moment of silence.
With Ran Jinnian's support, Lu Jinyuan stood up resolutely.
Three minutes later.
Lin Xiaocai then spoke: "Alright, everyone, please sit down."
After everyone was seated, Lin Xiao continued, "Today, we are holding a grand commendation meeting to summarize and honor the heroes of earthquake relief efforts."
"Comrade Lu Jinyuan was brave, tenacious, and fearless in the face of sacrifice. He undertook the most difficult and dangerous tasks in earthquake relief. He dared to enter dangerous areas of the disaster zone and saved the lives of twelve children in a mudslide. He saved people from fire and water on many occasions."
"In order to promote righteousness and commend advanced individuals, the organization has decided to commend Comrade Lu Jinyuan and award him the 'First-Class Merit' and place him in command of the 2nd Regiment of the Army."
Upon hearing this commendation, no one immediately realized whether it meant a promotion or not.
But the quick-thinking person recognized it.
"This is paving the way for Lu Jinyuan."
How did you know?
"He's now the commander of the 3rd Army Squadron, and he also commands the 2nd Army Squadron. Can't you tell?"
Deputy Regiment Commander of the 2nd Army Squadron: "Ah."
He's still waiting to be promoted to regimental commander.
