"It's alright, Dad only suffered a minor injury, it's almost healed." Zhou Bingchen squatted down, wiping away Zhou Jiakai and his sister's tears as he comforted them.
"Dad, please don't get hurt next time." Zhou Jiakai said, tears streaming down his face.
"Daddy, you need to get better soon." Zhou Yunyun also became a little crybaby, looking at Zhou Bingchen with red eyes.
While Zhao Zhenzhu was working, she kept listening to the sounds outside.
When Zhao Zhenzhu heard Wu Meiyun exclaim that Zhou Bingchen was injured, she couldn't help but stand up.
Immediately, Zhao Zhenzhu despised herself: She was about to divorce Zhou Bingchen, so why was she so nervous when she heard that Zhou Bingchen was injured?
It wasn't like they let the kids pester Zhou Bingchen to play. Zhou Bingchen was injured, why didn't he say so sooner? Now that the wound has reopened, it's Zhou Bingchen's own fault.
After mentally preparing herself, Zhao Zhenzhu sat back down on the stool and went about her business.
"Pearl, come out for a moment," Wu Meiyun said, standing at the door of the workshop.
Wu Meiyun's expression was rather unpleasant.
The house is so small, and they were talking quite loudly just now. Wu Meiyun didn't believe Zhao Zhenzhu hadn't heard them.
"Mom, is something wrong? I'm busy here!" Zhao Zhenzhu said casually.
"Take Bingchen to the hospital to get his wound bandaged; it's reopened." Wu Meiyun's face showed anger.
Zhou Bingchen's wound has reopened, how can Pearl be so indifferent?
"Mom, you can just let him go to the hospital to get bandaged up himself! Why did he come back here instead of resting in the army?" Zhao Zhenzhu said unhappily.
"Zhao Zhenzhu, hurry up and take Bingchen to the hospital, or I'll throw all your things away." Wu Meiyun said angrily.
Zhou Bingchen must have been injured while protecting his country.
No matter what happens in the future, Zhou Bingchen is still Zhao Zhenzhu's husband.
Zhou Bingchen is injured, and Zhao Zhenzhu has an obligation to take care of him.
"Mom, I'll go, please don't be angry." Zhao Zhenzhu compromised.
When Wu Meiyun got angry, her breathing became rapid.
Zhao Zhenzhu was afraid that Wu Meiyun would get sick from anger.
After taking a few deep breaths, Wu Meiyun lowered her voice and said earnestly, "Pearl! Don't blame me for pressuring you. You're still young. You haven't thought things through. Bingchen is Yunyun and Jiakai's biological father. Both children are very attached to Bingchen. If you ignore Bingchen's injury, what will Jiakai and Yunyun think of you? Do you want to become estranged from your children?"
"Mom, I understand," Zhao Zhenzhu said with a sigh of relief.
Indeed, both children went wild with joy after seeing Zhou Bingchen.
Normally, as soon as the two children get home, the first thing they do is call out "Mom," and if they don't see Zhao Zhenzhu, they will look for her everywhere.
Today, the two children were so engrossed in playing with Zhou Bingchen that they completely forgot about Zhao Zhenzhu.
Even if Zhao Zhenzhu wants to divorce Zhou Bingchen, she cannot show in front of the children that she hates Zhou Bingchen.
After thinking it through, Zhao Zhenzhu stopped being coy and walked over to Zhou Bingchen, saying, "Let me go with you to the hospital to get your wound bandaged!"
Zhou Bingchen was flattered and stammered, "No...no need to go to the hospital. I have medicine and bandages in my bag. Pearl, you can change my dressing for me."
“Okay!” Zhao Zhenzhu turned around and walked into the house.
It's just a change of medication; she can handle it.
"Mom, let me help you."
"Mom, I want to help too."
Zhou Jiakai and Zhou Yunyun hurriedly followed.
"Jiakai, you should take your sister to play for a while. You don't need to help here." Zhou Bingchen stood at the door, stopping the two children.
“Dad, I can help. I’m a big kid now.” Zhou Jiakai refused.
“Dad, I can help too. Mom says I’m very capable.” Zhou Yunyun didn’t want to leave either.
“Pearl…” Zhou Bingchen pleaded with Zhao Zhenzhu with his eyes.
Zhou Bingchen's wounds were rather gruesome, and he didn't want to frighten the children.
"Jiakai, hurry up and do your homework. Yunyun, go see what Grandpa is making for dinner tonight, and tell Mom in ten minutes," Zhao Zhenzhu instructed.
The brother and sister had no choice but to leave dejectedly.
They dared not disobey Zhao Zhenzhu's orders, otherwise they would lose their little red flowers today.
To make it easier to manage her two children, Zhao Zhenzhu established a "little red flower system" for them.
Two pieces of paper were pasted on the wall of the main room, one with Zhou Jiakai's name on it and the other with Zhou Yunyun's name on it.
The child who behaves well today, without causing trouble or mischief, will have a little red flower drawn on the corresponding piece of paper before bedtime. If both children behave well, both children will receive a reward.
There are also some extra reward little red flowers. For example, Zhou Jiakai can be rewarded with three little red flowers for getting a perfect score on the test, and Zhou Yunyun can also be rewarded with three little red flowers for learning to count from one to ten.
After collecting ten little red flowers, the children can make a request to Zhao Zhenzhu.
You can ask to buy food, a toy, or a comic book—anything that can be bought in Peach Blossom Town is acceptable.
Since Zhao Zhenzhu established the "Little Red Flower System," Zhou Jiakai and Zhou Yunyun, the siblings, have become more organized in their work and studied harder. The two children are putting in a lot of effort every day to "earn" little red flowers.
Even when there were no little red flowers, Zhao Zhenzhu would still buy those things if asked.
However, what you "earn" yourself seems more appealing than what you ask your mother to buy for you.
Seeing that the two children were obediently listening to Zhao Zhenzhu, Zhou Bingchen looked at Zhao Zhenzhu with a hint of gratitude in his eyes.
Pearl has done a great job educating the children, which shows that she has put a lot of effort into it.
He was away from home for most of the year, but he didn't give Zhao Zhenzhu the trust and respect she deserved; that was his fault.
Zhao Zhenzhu ignored Zhou Bingchen's gaze and his hesitation. She only wanted to change her dressing quickly so she could go out and do her own thing.
No man can earn as much money as she does.
Zhou Bingchen brought a complete set of medicines. In addition to iodine and medical cotton for disinfection, there were bandages and anti-inflammatory drugs. He even had a small pair of scissors.
Zhao Zhenzhu carefully unwrapped the bandage, revealing a hideous wound.
Zhao Zhenzhu couldn't help but gasp.
Zhou Bingchen had been insisting that it was a minor injury, and Zhao Zhenzhu actually believed him, thinking it was just a small cut from a knife.
I never expected it to be a gunshot wound, and judging from the appearance of the wound, it must have been very serious at the time.
When disinfecting, Zhao Zhenzhu unconsciously softened her touch, appearing very careful.
"Pearl, don't worry, it just looks tough, it won't cripple me. After a few days of practice, I'll be fully recovered," Zhou Bingchen said, trying to make conversation.
“I don’t care if you’re disabled or not. You’re the one who’s hurt and in pain. What does it have to do with me?” Zhao Zhenzhu said stubbornly.
“I… I was afraid it would make you feel bad.” Zhou Bingchen’s expression was somber.
In the past, let alone such a serious injury, even a small cut on his hand from an accidental sickle would make Zhao Zhenzhu hold his hand with tears in her eyes.
