Zheng Shengli came to the military hospital to visit Zhou Bingchen early in the morning.
"Old Zhou, I heard that you strongly requested to be discharged from the hospital? Your wound is still bleeding, aren't you just talking nonsense?" Zheng Shengli started "criticizing" Zhou Bingchen as soon as he saw him.
"Captain, I would like to take a few days off and go home," said Zhou Bingchen.
"Old Zhou, you really can't leave within half a month. Let me tell you the truth! Regarding this mission, the higher-ups will send someone to ask you some questions in a few days. So, I really can't approve your leave." Zheng Shengli had no choice but to reveal some information.
"I obey orders." Zhou Bingchen had no choice but to keep quiet.
Zhou Bingchen thought that after half a month, his injuries would be mostly healed, and it would not be too late to ask for leave and go home then.
"Lao Zhou, you can't go back now, but you can call back! I will talk to the doctor later and ask the hospital to provide a phone for you to call. This time, you won't be charged for the phone bill. The group will pay for it." Zheng Shengli said.
"Thank you, Captain." Zhou Bingchen looked surprised.
There is a phone in the hospital, but it can only be used for official business and cannot be used for casual calls.
Zhou Bingchen was injured and couldn't go to the city just to make a phone call.
With Zheng Shengli's words, Zhou Bingchen put half of his worries to rest.
"By the way, if there is anything that cannot be resolved at home, remember to tell me. If necessary, I will call the local government in the name of the regiment and ask them for help." Zheng Shengli thought for a while and said.
The last time Zhou Fugui called, it was Zheng Shengli who answered the phone.
Zheng Shengli remembered that Zhou Fugui's tone was quite anxious at the time and he said that something big had happened at home.
"Thank you, Captain. I will call my daughter Zhenzhu right away." Zhou Bingchen smiled.
In Zhou Bingchen's last dream, Zhao Tianyu would be imprisoned in more than two months, and Zhao Qingshan and his wife would die one after another.
Before going on the mission, Zhou Bingchen was not sure whether his dream had any warning value.
Now, Zhou Bingchen believed it.
Zhou Bingchen wanted to remind Zhao Zhenzhu to ask his father-in-law and mother-in-law to keep a close eye on his brother-in-law and not make the same mistake as in his dream.
As long as nothing happens to Zhao Tianyu, Zhao Qingshan and his wife should be able to live well.
"Old Zhou, I didn't expect you were still a henpecked man. Your dad asked you to call back, did you discuss it with your wife first?" Zheng Shengli couldn't help but teased.
A few days ago, Zheng Shengli's face was scratched by his wife He Xiaolian, and Zhou Bingchen happened to see it.
In front of Zheng Shengli, Zhou Bingchen "bragged" about his wife Zhao Zhenzhu being gentle and virtuous.
Zheng Shengli was very unconvinced, and when he got the chance, he wanted to make fun of him back.
"My dad called? Captain, you didn't tell me!" Zhou Bingchen was speechless.
"Look at my memory." Zheng Shengli patted his forehead and said in annoyance: "I told Xiao Jiang in your camp and asked him to tell you that I forgot that you were admitted to the hospital after the mission and I haven't met Xiao Jiang yet!"
"Captain, did my father tell me what he wanted to talk to me about?" Zhou Bingchen asked.
"No, he said something big happened at home and asked you to call home as soon as you come back from the mission," said Zheng Shengli.
Something big happened at home?
Nothing like this has ever happened in my dreams!
Zhou Bingchen frowned.
"Old Zhou! Call and ask first. You don't know what the specific matter is now, and there's no rush." Zheng Shengli patted Zhou Bingchen on the shoulder and said comfortingly.
"Yeah." Zhou Bingchen nodded.
Last night’s dream has been lingering in Zhou Bingchen’s mind.
Zhou Bingchen now has conflicting feelings towards Zhou Fugui.
"Old Zhou, let me tell you a good news in advance. Your performance this time is very impressive. I guess you will get your promotion notice soon." Before Zheng Shengli left, he praised Zhou Bingchen.
Zheng Shengli didn't dare to say everything.
Originally, according to Zhou Bingchen's past merits, he should have been promoted to regiment level after the New Year.
With this achievement, he might be promoted ahead of schedule. Perhaps, there is a better future waiting for Zhou Bingchen.
Zheng Shengli envied Zhou Bingchen's luck, but he was not jealous at all.
Zhou Bingchen's future was won by risking his life time and time again.
After Zheng Shengli left, Zhou Bingchen sat on the edge of the bed and digested the excitement in his heart.
Zhou Bingchen must be happy about the promotion. What makes him even happier is that after the promotion, he can give Zhao Zhenzhu and her son a better future.
A few minutes later, Zhou Bingchen slowly stood up and walked towards the doctor's office.
Zhou Bingchen didn't know that Zhao Zhenzhu had gone back to her parents' home, so he called the Zhoujia Village Brigade Headquarters.
The person who answered the phone was Zhou Dazhui.
"Captain, I'm Zhou Bingchen. Please ask my dad and Zhenzhu to come over and answer the phone." Zhou Bingchen said.
"Bingchen! Zhenzhu is not in the village. After quarreling with your mother a few days ago, she took the children back to her parents' home. Your father should be here. I'll ask someone to call your father over." Zhou Dazhu said.
Pearl had a fight with her mother? Why?
Zhou Bingchen frowned in thought.
Zhou Dazhu's loud voice came from the other end of the phone: "Bingqiang, put aside the work at hand for now and go home to ask your father to come and answer the phone. Bingchen called back."
Zhou Bingchen listened to Zhou Dazhu's enthusiastic voice, and his mind felt a little dazed.
Will his dream really come true?
One day in the future, will Zhou Dazhu really join his father in taking his life?
He is an officer.
If someone dies while returning home to visit his family, the army should send someone to investigate.
After the truth was revealed, Zhou Dazhu would definitely be sentenced to death.
It is really ridiculous that Zhou Dazhu killed someone for just a few dollars.
"Captain, I'll call back in ten minutes." Zhou Bingchen was about to hang up the phone when Zhou Dazhu stopped him.
"Bingchen! We haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's chat today if we have time!"
Zhou Dazhui didn't wait for Zhou Bingchen to respond and started talking.
"Bingchen! There have been a lot of things going on in your family recently. They have made the villagers laugh at you."
"When you have time, you should write a letter to talk about Zhenzhu. Although your mother is sometimes unreasonable, she wrongly accuses Zhenzhu of stealing and chases her for filial piety. It is reasonable for Zhenzhu to take the child back to her parents' home for a few days when she loses her temper. However, when your mother saw Zhenzhu eating wontons with her child at the market and asked her to buy two more bowls, Zhenzhu refused to pay a penny. This is a bit too much. Your mother is the elder after all, right?"
"And your mother, she was so stupid that she dared to make a scene in front of the police. As a result, they arrested her and gave her a lesson. Your mother's arrest not only affects your family, but also our village will definitely not be able to be selected as an advanced person this year. What do you think is going on?"
"And your dad, he usually seems quite capable. After your mom was arrested, your dad said he would go to town to look for connections, but what happened? He went to town for a while and came back. He didn't accomplish anything, and when he came back, he got mad at your two brothers and forbade them to send food and bedding to your mom, saying that he wanted your mom to go hungry for a few meals in the police station to wake her up. Your mom has suffered a lot this time!"
Zhou Bingchen kept a straight face and said nothing.
