Noticing Grandpa Gu's gaze, Maodaner touched his face and asked in a puzzled tone, "Grandpa Gu?"
"No, nothing." Father Gu curled his lips.
Maodaner didn't think much about it and focused all his attention on Old Lady Ning.
Mother Gu pulled the old man to a corner and looked him over. "What's going on? Why does Maodan'er have such a strange expression?"
"You say..." Father Gu chose his words carefully, looking at his wife, "Maodan'er's father's body is gone, only a death certificate. Is there a possibility that he is not dead?"
Mother Gu: “…”
She reached out and touched the old man's forehead. "You don't have a fever, do you? This certificate from the army, how could it be fake?"
Father Gu thought so too, "I was mistaken."
"What did you see?" Gu's mother asked curiously.
"...I saw someone who looked a bit like Maodan'er's father." Gu's father said. Actually, it wasn't just a bit like him, but very similar. Maodan'er's father was tall, broad-shouldered, and had deep eye sockets. He looked so straight in his military uniform. Although the person he saw was a little different from the person in his memory, they did look like they were cast from the same mold.
They look so similar.
Maodaner looks like a replica of that face.
"People are similar," said Mother Gu. "Maodan'er's father died many years ago. Don't mention it casually, or you'll hurt him."
"I know."
He didn't mention it, but fate had its own plans.
Sun Guoshou accidentally saw Maodan'er's face and immediately lost his composure. He grabbed the guard's arm and pointed at the little boy not far away.
"Look at that kid, how does he feel?" He stared at the guard.
The guard scratched his head and said, "Looks familiar, hehe."
“…”
Where did this stupid boy come from!
Sun Guoshou almost couldn't catch his breath.
"Don't you think that kid looks a lot like your leader?" he asked. Afraid the kid would say something shocking again, he asked directly, "Are they cut from the same mold?"
The guard stared at him with wide eyes, and he finally saw something. "...Really? It looks like, like the chief's son."
"Isn't it!" Sun Guo clapped his hands. Thinking of the man's age, he felt that it was not impossible.
"No way..." the guard said, "He only looks six or seven years old, how could he be the chief's son?"
"Some children who look six or seven may not actually be six or seven." Sun Guoshou's eyes flashed with thought, "Some children grow slowly."
Life may not be easy without a man in the family.
Maodan was very perceptive and felt someone was staring at her. She looked over warily and saw the guard's military uniform. Her eyes hesitated for a moment and her tense shoulders relaxed.
Mother Gu came to look for Mao Dan'er and saw him stop at the corner. She took the wet towel from his hand and pulled him towards the ward. "...Go back to the ward. What are you standing there for?"
Maodan moved his mouth, wanting to say that someone was looking at him, but felt embarrassed. He touched his ears, smiled shyly at the old lady, didn't look over there again, and followed Gu's mother back to the ward.
Just as they left, Chief Ning came over surrounded by several people, two of whom had difficulty moving their hands and feet.
Sun Guoshou and the guard wanted to bring up the matter of the little boy, but now was not the right time to talk, so they had to give up.
The group walked forward with great momentum, reached the end, and entered the largest ward.
The purpose of this trip is to test the medicine under the nose of the top leader.
The two people with disabilities are also veterans. They joined the armed forces as civilians. One of them has a strange bend in his right leg and the other has a weak arm.
They were suddenly recalled by the organization and were still confused. After hearing the reason, they agreed without hesitation.
This was not the first time the doctor had done this and he was very familiar with the procedure. He just wished that the leader surnamed Ning hadn't stared at him. The other person's gaze was very oppressive. If it weren't for his strong professional skills, his hands would be shaking badly by now.
Fortunately, it was completed successfully.
The male doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead and spoke softly, "From now on, you just need to wait for the medicine to take effect. You will feel pain, but it is normal. Try not to move around, otherwise it will affect the treatment."
A soldier said, "I don't mind the pain, as long as it works."
No matter how painful it is, it's not as painful as being forced to leave the army and my comrades... It hurts so much.
"Right," said another soldier, "We soldiers can brave any storm, so pain is nothing."
Chief Ning looked agreeable.
yes.
Which soldier has never been injured or has scars on his body?
But for the sake of defending the country, I don't complain about the pain or the tiredness.
Not long after, the two soldiers felt the injured parts of their bodies getting hot, as if they were burned by fire, and their skin and flesh were bursting.
After the hot and spicy feeling, there is pain.
The pain of being cut by knife.
The man who said he was not afraid of pain was sweating from the pain, and his two rows of teeth came together, making a creaking sound.
Sun Guoshou couldn't bear it, so he gave each of them a piece of cork and asked them to bite it.
Don't cure your leg but break your teeth.
The soldier comrade took the cork, bit it, and the moment he released his teeth, a low groan of pain escaped his mouth.
Damn it, it hurts so much!
The torture continued, becoming more and more painful, and gradually, they could no longer control the slight tremors.
The doctor stood by and took quick notes.
[…The longer the injury lasts, the more severe the pain becomes and the longer it lasts.]
This is a new conclusion.
Sun Guoshou was not idle either. He sat next to the two soldiers and took their pulses one by one. He felt that their pulses were becoming stronger and stronger, and surprise appeared in his eyes.
Strange.
But it's a good thing.
He nodded to Chief Ning.
Commander Ning's frown gradually relaxed.
After a while, the two soldiers, whose faces were twisted with pain, slowly relaxed, spit out the cork, and laughed.
"It doesn't hurt anymore." said the soldier who removed the cork first.
Another followed up, "My arms are numb, but now I feel stronger."
The words were full of excitement.
Commander Ning couldn't sit still and stood up.
Time flies by.
The two soldiers who were testing the medicine felt that their wounds had lost feeling, so they stood up at the same time. One of them took a few tentative steps forward, and the other swung his arm cautiously.
After trying it, I found it was different!
The former can stand up straight with his legs and walk as straight as possible; the latter can straighten and bend his arms and can hold a cup to drink water without any problem.
Two pairs of determined eyes flashed with light.
"Can I leave now?!!"
"Can I use this arm?!!"
The moment the words came out, everyone burst into laughter.
"If another comrade gets injured to the same degree as me, they won't be forced to leave. That's great!"
"Thank you to the country, thank you to the organization, thank you to the doctors..."
The doctor, who was thanked, waved his hands and said, "Don't thank me. I'm ashamed. Someone else made this medicine."
He glanced at Chief Ning with a look of taboo.
It was almost obvious that the person's identity was sensitive.
Chief Ning narrowed his eyes.
He had an idea in mind and didn't ask any more questions for the time being.
If that person has the real talent, he doesn't care about the other person's sensitive identity, just go where he should go!
The military hospital is in great need of good doctors.
Chief Ning was determined to obtain the medicine to make sure it was effective.
"This medicine..." He paused, "Who should I talk to?"
"Knock, knock, knock!" There was a knock on the ward door.
The guard pushed open the door and said, "Comrade Yang wants to see you, Chief."
Yang?
Commander Ning knew who it was instantly.
When no one came from the military district, the Yang and Jiang families intervened to prevent the medicine from falling into the hands of speculators.
They are all good comrades.
He nodded humbly to the people in the ward and walked out.
I wasn't surprised to see he was a young man.
The two went to the dean's office for a private conversation.
Chief Ning was heartbroken when he learned from Yang Yunzhi that the pharmacists were bad elements and were raising pigs in the brigade.
Such talents are being used to raise pigs?
His face darkened.
What a mess.
"This is not a problem." Commander Ning said in a deep voice.
Yang Yun was very happy.
Half of what Cheng Huai asked me to do has been completed!
He added, "This medicine is useless just by having a prescription. The herb in it is rare, and only that comrade has it, and only he knows how to cultivate it. Why not let him go to the military area and specialize in growing herbs? That would be much more valuable than his pig farming."
Chief Ning also planned so.
There was no trace of emotion on his stern face.
"The organization will arrange it."
Yang Yunzhi said nothing more.
Well, the superior doesn’t like others to tell him what to do. He understands that, because his grandfather is the same, he always keeps his word and won’t tolerate anyone telling him what to do.
Hand over the prescription honestly.
At this point, he has done what he should do, and the rest depends on others.
Cheng Huai should have made arrangements, right?
This is indeed the case—
Chief Ning has disappeared for many years and has lost all his connections. If he wants to overturn the case for the Meng family, he has to rely on the Yun family.
Mr. Yun was a veteran revolutionary, with many of his old comrades in important positions and a strong network of connections. He was willing to protect anyone who had made contributions to the country and the military.
After receiving a telegram from a junior whom he admired, he immediately took action.
The Meng family's overturning case documents have just come down.
After finishing his business, Chief Ning wanted to take his men back to the guesthouse and planned to go to the Harvest Brigade tomorrow to take a look at the uncommon medicine.
As they were walking, Sun Guoshou opened his mouth and said, "I saw a boy earlier."
Commander Ning turned his head to look at him.
"Then what?"
Before Sun Guoshou could say anything, the guard couldn't help but say, "That child looks exactly like you, especially his eyebrows and eyes."
Commander Ning didn't take it seriously.
It's normal for people to have similarities.
"Captain, do you have a son?" the guard asked. "Could that child be your son?"
He worships his leader and pays 200% attention to everything his leader does.
While Chief Ning was negotiating with local officials, the guards went to inquire about the boy.
Thanks to the clothes I'm wearing, everything went smoothly.
When Chief Ning heard the guard's words, his head suddenly started to hurt.
"I have your seed..."
"By the time you come back next time, the baby in your belly will be out. If you come back later, the baby will already be calling you daddy!"
"Ping An, please come back safely. You haven't heard your child call you dad yet."
"Don't worry about your parents. I'm at home. Just protect your country and we'll be waiting for you to come home."
"...Don't forget to write the letter!"
Words blown by the wind rang in my ears.
He covered his swollen head, almost unable to stand, and held on to the wall, trying to squeeze out some images.
The guard noticed that the commander was having a headache again and hurriedly said, "Doctor Sun, quickly, take out your needle and stick it into the commander's head!"
Sun Guoshou: "..."
Commander Ning had a severe headache and his ink-black eyes turned red.
He looked at the police officer.
I forced myself to ask, "What's going on with that boy?"
The guard quickly relayed the information he had gathered. "The Ning family only has two members, a grandfather and a grandson. I heard that family had a son who was a soldier, but he died a long time ago."
"When the news of the son's death arrived, his wife had difficulty giving birth to the child and died of illness a few years later. Later, the child's grandfather passed away, and the old lady relied on her monthly pension to support her grandson..."
These were all unfamiliar things to Chief Ning. He couldn't identify each person, but he felt his eyes burning and his throat seemed to be blocked.
Realizing that something was wrong, he looked at the guard, "Which ward is that family in?"
After saying this, the usually rational man knew that he had been impulsive, but he did not regret it. He vaguely felt that he would not regret it if he had done it.
The guard looked worried. "Don't you have a headache?"
Veins popped out on the leader's forehead, a sign of severe pain.
"fine."
The guard glanced at Sun Guoshou and thought, with him here, everything should be fine.
"Ward 301."
Almost the moment he received the news, Chief Ning took a long step upstairs.
When I reached the third floor, my eyes swept across and quickly stopped at 301.
Walk over and stop at the door.
Through the small window on the door, I saw the people inside.
The older woman rubbed the head of the little boy who was facing the door with his back, and said something with a smile.
This child is the one that Lao Sun and the others were talking about, the one who looks very much like his, right?
For some reason, the tall soldier outside the door felt nervous.
Chief Ning was surprised.
He never gets nervous even when doing the most difficult tasks.
Seeing the leader standing at the door without moving for a long time, the guard wanted to step forward to remind him, but Sun Guo held his shoulder.
The old doctor with half-gray hair shook his head.
Where did this young man come from? How come he can't even read the rules?
silly.
"Don't make a sound. I'll treat you as a piece of wood." Sun Guoshou reminded in a low voice.
Although the guard is simple-minded, he is obedient. His mother taught him since he was a child that it doesn't matter if he is stupid, just listen to smart people. This is what he did. Look, he has a bright future.
Thinking of this, the tall and silly boy smiled foolishly.
There was a sudden knock on the ward door, and Maodan rushed out to open it.
There were a few strangers outside the door. They were all very tall. The child felt oppressed and took a few steps back.
"Who are you looking for?" he asked.
Commander Ning looked directly at the little boy's face, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
He felt something hit him.
His calm and shrewd mind went blank in an instant.
"You..." Commander Ning's voice was dry. He stared at Maodaner and couldn't recover for a long time.
Such a close feeling.
Just looking at this innocent little face, my heart, which was as calm as a well, softened and I couldn't wait to give him the best things.
"What's your name?"
Maodaner is defenseless against anyone in military uniform.
He tried to look up at the man and said, "My name is Maodan'er, Ning Maodan'er."
"Mao Dan'er..." Chief Ning's eyes softened, "It's a very cute name."
The guard looked at the back of the leader's head in a ridiculous manner, with a look of horror on his face.
This was the first time he heard the leader speak in such a gentle voice. Is this still him?!
"...Thank you." Maodaner replied politely.
He looked at Chief Ning openly, without any fear, and asked calmly, "Is there something you're knocking on the door about?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Mother Gu came out of her daze and asked in a tense voice, "Are you Mingde?"
Chief Ning didn't deny it in a hurry, his eyes fell on her face.
"Do you know me?"
When he asked this question, his sharp jaw tightened, and the emotions in his heart were complicated and difficult to describe.
Mother Gu: “…”
Mother Gu didn't know whether she should get to know him.
The old man was right. This man's eyebrows and eyes were exactly the same as Maodan'er's, very much like the person in their memory, but... the look in his eyes when he looked at her was unfamiliar.
It shouldn't be.
If it was that person, he wouldn't fail to recognize them, right?
The people at the door were talking, and Old Mrs. Ning on the hospital bed opened her eyes.
