Chapter 107 You Are Really a Living Ancestor
Cheng Wanying almost cried when she heard Lu Chen's voice: "Lu Chen, something happened to your brother. He fell off the mountain while leading his troops on a field training and injured himself."
Lu Chen's eyes darkened, and his heart trembled a few times: "When did this happen? I have no idea about this!"
"Yesterday." Cheng Wanying said, "Yesterday he was sent to the military hospital for examination. I called him today and the hospital staff said he had been discharged. Then I contacted the troops and they told me that he was fine. But I am worried... I suspect he deliberately concealed it from me."
He fell from the mountain...
The key point is that she still doesn’t know the actual situation. How can she not be anxious?
She wished she could take the train to visit her youngest son right now, but she was tied up in all the family matters and couldn't get away.
The second brother and his wife are enemies who are here to collect debts, and we can't just ignore them.
"Does Dad know about this?" Lu Chen asked.
"How could I dare to let him know? You know, his heart is not good. He was so tired from the busy military duties recently that he had two heart attacks, so I didn't tell him about this."
"Mom, don't worry, I'll find out what's going on."
"Okay, okay. Find out as soon as possible and call me back."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Nuo hurriedly asked him: "What happened to Lu Cheng?"
"Yeah." Lu Chen picked up the phone and dialed a few more numbers. Before the call was connected, he said to Xu Nuo, "I didn't know about this matter because I wasn't informed by my subordinates. I guess Lu Cheng suppressed this matter... The situation may not be optimistic."
Seeing the worry in his eyes, Xu Nuo gently squeezed his hand and said, "Maybe it's not serious, but you need to rest. He just didn't want to cause you any trouble, so he deliberately didn't tell you."
The call was connected, and Lu Chen spoke in a steady and majestic voice: "I am Lu Chen, please let your company commander Lu Cheng take the call."
A young soldier's voice came from the receiver: "Captain Lu, our company commander...the company commander is not in the company."
"Not in the company? Where did he go?"
"We don't know about this."
"Five minutes, find out where he is and get him to give me a reply." Lu Chen said coldly.
"Yes, Captain."
While waiting for the call, Lu Chen glanced at the time and reminded Xu Nuo: "You should go to work. If you don't leave now, you will be late."
"Don't leave in a hurry. Let me wait and see about Lu Cheng's situation. I still have one day off this month. If it really doesn't work out, I can ask for leave." Xu Nuo said.
Lu Chen nodded and agreed.
Three minutes later.
The call came from the reconnaissance company, and the caller was Lu Cheng himself.
Lu Chen picked up the phone: "Hello."
"Brother, it's me, Lu Cheng."
Hearing the familiar voice, Lu Chen frowned, and his concerned voice revealed a bit of blame and displeasure: "Lu Cheng, what's wrong with you? Why didn't you tell me that you fell off the mountain during the army's field training?"
"Captain Lu, this little thing is not worth reporting." Lu Chen said with a smile, "You are so busy, how come you thought of me in your busy schedule?"
"Lu Cheng, be serious! I'm not talking to you as the head of the group, I'm talking to you as your elder brother. How is your injury? Mom has been worried about you and even called me. I'm the one closest to you, but I know nothing about this."
"No big deal..."
"Tell the truth."
"Brother, it's really nothing serious... just a little scratch, otherwise I wouldn't be discharged from the hospital so early, right? Mom just likes to worry, I was worried about her because of this, so I didn't tell her."
"Where are you now?" Lu Chen felt that Lu Cheng was lying.
"I'm in the company."
"As the head of the regiment, I order you to have a good rest and not to train again. You write a report and I will approve the leave."
"Brother, I really don't have anything to do. I don't need a vacation." Lu Cheng was still struggling.
"Stop talking nonsense. I want to see your leave application submitted before I leave work today." Lu Chen said and hung up the phone.
On the other end of the line, Lu Cheng stared at the beeping phone and sighed helplessly: "His temper hasn't changed at all. I'm not even afraid of my father, so I'm afraid of him."
Zhang Laishun was squatting beside him brushing his rubber shoes. When he heard him say that, he advised him, "You should file a report. Your leg is broken, what are you doing holding it together?"
"Just because his leg is broken doesn't affect my ability to supervise their training. Lai Shun'er, find me a stretcher tomorrow and carry him over there no matter what."
Zhang Laishun: "Company commander, you are really a living ancestor!"
On the other side, Lu Chen hung up Lu Cheng's call and called Cheng Wanying: "Mom, he said the situation is not serious, you don't have to worry."
"Then why didn't he tell me the truth?"
Lu Chen said: "He came out of the hospital and said it was nothing serious, and went straight to the mountains for training. Don't worry, he will be fine with me here."
"Okay, okay, I feel relieved with you here."
"You're lying to mom too." Xu Nuo felt something was wrong after hearing the conversation between him and Lu Cheng just now.
"Mom is old and likes to worry. After knowing this, she couldn't sleep well."
"Lu Cheng's side..."
"There's something going on over there. When I finish my work in the army, I'll go over to see him. This kid doesn't speak the truth, he has his own ideas." Lu Chen has watched him grow up and knows his personality and temper very well.
"If you're busy, I'll go see him for you." Xu Nuo said seriously, "He's seriously injured. If you can't spare the time, as his sister-in-law, it's my duty to go see him for you."
Lu Chen frowned and pursed his lips tightly.
He was reluctant to let Xu Nuo go to see Lu Cheng. After all, they had been engaged.
Although he and Xu Nuo were already married, he still felt weird and somewhat uncomfortable when Xu Nuo said she wanted to go see Lu Cheng.
Xu Nuo didn't think that much.
She felt that she had already completed the transformation of her identity after marrying Lu Chen.
She is now Lu Cheng's sister-in-law, and Lu Cheng is just her brother-in-law.
As for the canceled engagement, she had already forgotten about it.
"Why? You don't want to?" Xu Nuo saw his hesitation. "I just feel that Mom has always been worried about Lu Cheng. As a sister-in-law, it's fine if I don't know the situation, but now that I know the situation, isn't it not good to be indifferent? Of course, if you don't want me to go, I respect your opinion."
Lu Chen had almost no hesitation. He said directly: "Let's go together. You wait for me at home. I will call you when I am done."
"Okay." Xu Nuo nodded in agreement.
After Lu Chen left, she called the hospital department to ask for leave, then opened the cabinet to take out some money and went directly to the Military Support Service Center to buy some gifts.
You can't go to see a patient empty-handed, you have to prepare something.
She bought some seasonal fruits and two cans of milk powder.
After everything was prepared and she waited at home for about an hour, Lu Chen called and asked her to go out and wait for him in ten minutes.
Xu Nuo went out on time, and the green jeep drove over. She got into the back seat with her things.
It took about half an hour to drive from the regiment headquarters to the company. The car stopped at the entrance of the company, the window rolled down, Lu Chen stuck his head out and said to the sentry: "Call your company commander and ask where he is?"
The sentry came over immediately and saluted: "Sir, which unit are you from?"
The military uniforms in 1979 still had the old-style "four pockets" and there were no regulations, so it was impossible to accurately distinguish the rank of the enemy.
However, the other party has a car, the military uniform has four pockets, and judging from the fabric, we can roughly determine that his position should be above company commander. No more information can make any judgment.
"Headquarters, Lu Chen."
The sentry didn't know Lu Chen, but when he heard the name he knew he was the captain.
He immediately saluted: "Captain Lu, please wait a moment."
The sentry called to confirm Lu Cheng's location, and came out to reply to Lu Chen: "Captain Lu injured his leg and is now resting in the dormitory."
Lu Chen turned around and told Xiao Wei: "Go directly to the company dormitory."
A few minutes later, the jeep stopped at the entrance of the company dormitory, and Lu Chen and Xu Nuo got out of the car.
Lu Chen took the things from Xu Nuo's hand and said, "Let's go, follow me upstairs and take a look."
"good."
Xu Nuo followed Lu Chen up to the second floor. The room at the end of the corridor was Lu Cheng's dormitory.
Lu Chen stopped in front of the door and raised his hand to knock.
"Come here, stop knocking! Don't you know that my leg is broken? Bring your key with you next time." Lu Cheng came to open the door on crutches, dragging his broken leg.
As soon as the door opened, he saw Lu Chen standing at the door with a cold and handsome face, and he fell silent instantly.
"Who are you talking to?" Lu Chen raised his eyebrows.
"Brother, why are you here? I thought it was Zhang Laishun... Come in and sit down." Lu Cheng turned around and made way for the door.
Lu Chen walked in first carrying his things, and only then did Lu Cheng see Xu Nuo who followed in.
Lu Chen was too tall. He stood in front, completely blocking Xu Nuo behind him.
"Xu Nuo!! Why are you here too?" Lu Cheng was surprised and called out her name.
"I heard you were injured, so I came to see you. Didn't you say it wasn't a big deal? It's already broken, and you lied to our mom and your brother." Xu Nuo glanced at his leg and said, "You shouldn't be discharged so early. You should stay in the hospital for at least a day for observation. Have you done all the necessary tests?"
"It's okay, I just have a problem with my legs." Lu Cheng said a little embarrassedly, "Please find a place to sit."
"good."
When Xu Nuo saw Lu Chen sitting on the edge of the bed, she sat down next to Lu Chen.
When Lu Cheng turned around, he saw his elder brother's serious and stern face, and knew he was going to be scolded: "Brother, I know you want to scold me, but I really don't have any problem, it's just a fracture, it will be fine in two months. Just before the Chinese New Year, I will be able to jump around again."
Lu Chen raised his eyes and looked at Lu Cheng expressionlessly: "Lu Cheng, you called the wrong name just now."
Lu Cheng: "Ah? Wrong name? What did I call you wrong? I...I shouldn't call you big brother?"
Lu Chen pursed his lips: "You should call Xu Nuo sister-in-law."
Lu Cheng only now remembered that he had indeed called her the wrong name just now and directly called her name.
It shouldn’t be like this. It really shouldn’t be like this.
It was all because he had gotten used to calling her sister-in-law from the way he promised her every day. Every time he called her sister-in-law, he had to pay special attention.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, sister-in-law." Lu Cheng called three times in a row, "Brother, don't worry, I will remember it thoroughly now."
"Yeah." Lu Chen nodded slightly, his eyes falling on his legs, "You're injured so badly, why don't you report for leave?"
"I'm not going back. If I go back on leave, won't it be a burden to my mother? It's good to be in the company. Lai Shun can take care of me."
"Then come back with me. There are three rooms in our house, one downstairs and two upstairs. You can go there and stay for a while. This way it will be easier for me to take care of you." Lu Chen said.
Lu Cheng waved his hands repeatedly to refuse: "Brother, forget it, it's quite convenient for me to be here."
He saw it.
The eldest brother still cares about Xu Nuo very much.
He said at the beginning that he would never marry and no one could make him give in. Why did he get married just because Xu Nuo was told to?
Moreover, the way the elder brother looked at Xu Nuo just now was obviously different from the way he looked at him.
"Don't be stubborn."
"I'm not being stubborn. I just have difficulty walking. I can do everything else! Look, I washed the sheets and clothes myself this morning. I just didn't have time to hang them out to dry."
"Then I'll go help you hang up the clothes. It's a good opportunity for you two brothers to have a good chat." Xu Nuo said.
"Okay, then be careful when you go downstairs." Lu Chen warned.
"Don't worry, I'm not a child." Xu Nuo took the basin, opened the door and went out.
Downstairs is the place to dry clothes, with a clothesline tied between every two trees.
Xu Nuo is petite and the clothesline is quite high, so she needs to stand on tiptoe to hang the clothes on the line, which is quite strenuous.
She had just hung up Lu Cheng's military uniform and was about to hang up the sheets when she heard a group of neat footsteps behind her.
