"It's alright, that kid's been tough since he was little, I'll wait for him here."
Yang Yufen couldn't bring herself to smile. She raised her hand to wipe away her tears, which had somehow ended up all over her face.
I stood there in front of the operating room, quiet and still, with everyone around me. Only medical staff came and went, the smell of blood mixed with the smell of disinfectant, and time ticked by.
"The surgery was successful, but we still need to see if the patient can wake up in the next few days. The metal plate was inserted into the abdomen and punctured the kidney. There is a risk of infection after the operation, and it is not certain whether he can pull through."
After listening to the doctor, Yang Yufen didn't understand a lot of the medical terms, but she could tell that he was temporarily saved, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
"The patient needs special care and cannot be moved to a regular ward for the time being."
Upon hearing this, Yang Yufen looked at Zhou Ang.
"Family members can't visit yet, but don't worry, ma'am, I'll let you know as soon as anything happens. There's no need to bring food; the patient can't eat it."
Zhou Ang quickly spoke up.
"Thank you for your hard work. In that case, I'll call and tell Niannian not to come."
Even if we come, we won't see anyone, and we can't deliver food. We can't just leave the child and wait at the door forever.
"Don't worry, Auntie. Comrade Shen Xianjun was injured for the country. We will arrange for someone to take care of him. You don't need to worry. As long as he is saved, he will be fine."
Political Commissar Zhao also came over to comfort them.
After keeping watch all night, Yang Yufen knew she couldn't keep an eye on anyone, so she didn't bother her superiors any further and went home with Zhou Ang.
Qin Nian answered the phone and learned that the person had been rescued, which calmed her down considerably after a sleepless night.
Hospital
"You better make sure you survive this time. You've done a great service. The higher-ups have decided to promote you three ranks. Before, you were less experienced and your military achievements were suppressed. This is something you earned with your life. Don't let me down at this crucial moment!"
Political Commissar Zhao spoke to the unconscious Shen Xianjun. Zhang Lingling, the nurse who was taking care of Shen Xianjun, paused slightly before continuing her work, changing the medicine, and then left.
Shen Xianjun's condition kept recurring in the hospital. He was taken into the operating room several times, and Yang Yufen came to see him every time.
Qin Nian's leave was only a few days long. The country needed talent at that time, and every second of stagnation meant falling behind the enemy. As soon as the second day of the Lunar New Year was over, Qin Nian threw herself into her work.
When Shen Xianjun was wheeled into the operating room for the second time, Qin Nian insisted on coming with Yang Yufen. However, on the third and fourth times, Yang Yufen stopped letting Qin Nian come.
Once the fifteenth day of the lunar month was over, classes began at the orphanage. As he had said, Hu Zhenghao would send the twins to school every day before rushing off to school himself.
"As long as you can get through these seven days, and you don't have to be wheeled into the operating room again, it'll be fine. Every time it's so scary, your old lady is waiting for you outside."
As spring breezes swept across the land, Shen Xianjun, who had been in a daze for over a month, finally pulled through the crisis and was able to be transferred to a regular ward as March drew to a close.
"mother"
On the first day after Shen Xianjun was transferred to a new ward, he never expected to see his mother when he opened his eyes.
"I can still recognize him. I thought he would become stupid after being in a coma for so long."
Yang Yufen spoke with disdain, but she picked up the thermos, poured water into it, and used a cotton swab to moisten it and apply it to Shen Xianjun's chapped lips.
“Auntie, let me do it. You’re too rough. Comrade Shen just woke up, so he’s bound to be a little out of it. I’ve been taking care of him all this time, so I know what to do.”
When Zhang Lingling came in and saw that Shen Xianjun was awake, she quickly quickened her pace and walked to the bedside while talking.
Yang Yufen saw that the other person was wearing a nurse's uniform. Although she felt a little awkward listening to what the other person was saying, she still moved aside, since the medicine was almost gone.
Zhang Lingling skillfully changed the medicine, fed Shen Xianjun water, and after checking the wound, she didn't leave but instead took a basin from under the bed to fetch water.
Because it's a special care arrangement, there's a bathroom in the ward.
