Chen Changzheng looked at Chen Changqing quietly for a moment, then said, "If you have a plan in mind, that's fine!" Clearly, he agreed with Chen Changqing's decision.
"Dad, are you really going to divorce that woman?"
Chen Dongxu looked directly at Chen Changqing to confirm.
"What kind of problem is it to only listen halfway?"
Chen Changqing glanced indifferently at his foolish son, then turned his gaze back to Chen Changzheng. "Big brother, if you're really busy, you can leave tomorrow morning. I'd like to stay here for another day."
Two days after his parents underwent surgery, the son was preoccupied with work, rushing over and then rushing back. After much thought, Chen Changqing felt that this was not a good idea.
"Didn't we agree to leave together tomorrow morning? Besides, Mom and Dad already know we're leaving first thing tomorrow morning. Have you thought about how you're going to get past them by suddenly changing your mind?"
It was agreed that they would leave early tomorrow morning, so Chen Changzheng was quite puzzled by his brother's sudden change of mind.
"Mom had surgery yesterday and is still in the intensive care unit. Dad just had surgery today. Although Xiaoxu is here to take care of her, and we'll have the people that Director Zhang hired to help later, Xiaoxu is still just a child."
Until I'm certain that my parents' health is truly stable and recovering well, I'm still quite worried.
Chen Changqing spoke his mind.
"And your job..."
Chen Changzheng didn't believe that Chen Changqing could leave his work unattended for several days in a row.
"I'll just stay here for another day; it won't interfere with my work much."
Chen Changqing said, "I'll call my partner Lao Li in a bit. If there's any urgent work to be done, he can sign off on it or come forward."
Upon hearing this, Chen Changzheng remained silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, since you have already made proper arrangements, then stay here for one more day to take care of Mom and Dad."
...
Time flew by and it was the next day. In the late afternoon, Mrs. Chen was transferred out of the intensive care unit. Undoubtedly, after a thorough examination by Song Lan,
It has been confirmed that Mrs. Chen has safely passed the observation period. From now on, she only needs to rest well and change the dressing on time.
In other words, there is no longer a need to stay in the intensive care unit.
Mr. Chen's surgical wound was healing very well, so Mr. Chen kicked Chen Changqing out of the ward in the middle of the afternoon and told him to return to Beijing so he could go back to his job and be responsible.
Like Mr. Chen, Mrs. Chen did not try to keep Chen Changqing any longer.
Chen Changqing asked Factory Director Zhang for help in hiring people, and the matter proceeded quite smoothly.
Well, to be more precise, the person who came to the hospital to take care of Mr. and Mrs. Chen with Chen Dongxu was none other than Director Zhang's wife, Wu Chunying.
However, Director Zhang emphasized to Chen Changqing that no wages needed to be paid, but Chen Changqing naturally wouldn't take advantage of that.
"Are those two alright?"
After dinner, Li Jumei helped Grandma Song back to her room. In the living room, Song Sanhe casually asked Song Lan a question.
"He's recovering very well and should be discharged in a week at most."
Song Lan paused for a moment, then added, "Dad, don't worry, I'll visit the ward more often during my work hours."
"Don't misunderstand..."
Song Sanhe wanted to explain something, but couldn't get the rest of his sentence out for a long time. Seeing this, Song Lan smiled and said, "I didn't misunderstand anything. No matter what the relationship is between those two and Dad, the fact that Dad is concerned about them is just because you respect the old revolutionary veterans from the bottom of your heart and want them to be well."
Hearing Song Lan say that, Song Sanhe felt a rare flush on his face. He coughed twice and said, "Your grandma's eye stitches are being removed tomorrow, right?" This was clearly a way of changing the subject.
Here I must mention that after hearing what Song Lan said that night, and considering his own appearance and that of his brothers, especially their fair skin that never tans no matter how much sun they get, Song Sanhe believed half of what Song Lan said.
Believe it or not, asking him to turn back and acknowledge his biological parents... disregarding his elderly mother and dragging his family to follow his birth parents to the capital is absolutely non-negotiable!
It was precisely because he only partially believed what Song Lan said that night that he expressed his concern for Grandpa Chen and Grandma Chen just now.
"I'm going back to my room."
Song Sanhe knew that Song Lan was trying to save him from feeling awkward, but seeing the smile on Song Lan's face, he still felt it would be better to leave the living room immediately. It wasn't that he was afraid of being laughed at by his daughter; it was that he himself felt very uncomfortable.
As she got up, intending to return to her room as soon as possible, she glanced at Song Lan and Qin Yanzheng and couldn't help but say, "You and Yanzheng have had a long day at work, so go and rest early."
Song Lan smiled and said, "I'll remove the stitches from my grandma's tomorrow afternoon."
"Okay, your mom and I will help your grandma go to the hospital to find you then."
After leaving his message, Song Sanhe did not linger in the living room any longer.
Once the familiar footsteps faded away, Qin Yanzheng suddenly laughed and said, "Dad doesn't seem too comfortable."
Why didn't you say that to Dad's face?
Song Lan glanced at the man, her tone laced with mockery: "You wouldn't dare, would you?"
"My wife is so wise!"
With a smirk, Qin Yanzheng gave Song Lan a thumbs-up.
With a playful glare, Song Lan put one hand on her waist and the other on her stomach, trying to get up. Seeing this, Qin Yanzheng quickly reached out to help her up, saying softly, "I'll help you back to the bedroom first, and then I'll bring you some water to soak your feet."
"good."
Song Lan nodded with a smile.
...
"How many days will it take for my second brother's medical examination results to come out?"
Lying down on the bed, Song Lan asked Qin Yanzheng.
Five days.
Qin Yanzheng responded, and then added, "If it passes the test, it will need to be retested. This will take less time, about three days to get the results."
"If that's the case, then my brother will have to leave in another Tuesday."
Song Lan's tone revealed a hint of reluctance.
Qin Yanzheng hummed in agreement, then asked with a hint of jealousy, "Reluctant to part with it?"
"That's true to some extent."
Song Lan said frankly, "My second brother is not even eighteen yet, he's still young. With him out and about, let alone me worrying about him, aren't you worried at all?"
"What's there to worry about?"
Qin Yanzheng said calmly, "He chose this path himself, so I believe he knows what he will face next."
Besides, he's not the only one protecting the country. If something were to happen to him in the future, it would be part of his duty!
"That may be true, but the child is your own, and I don't believe you don't care about your second brother."
Song Lan laughed and said, "Your second brother has grown up very quickly in the past year. You can say that he is now a real man. You should speak to him more gently in the future."
"Wife, are you sure you're not accusing me wrongly?"
Qin Yanzheng said aggrievedly, "I've always spoken to Qin Boyan in the same tone for years, there's nothing wrong with it."
"He's just patting himself on the back."
Song Lan glared at the other person and said, "Cold face and a cold tone, that's your usual style."
"Who said that?"
Qin Yanzheng's dark eyes held a smile, and a faint smile appeared on his handsome face. He parted his lips slightly and said, "Look up and see what kind of expression your man has right now?"
