"Uncle Xiao, Aunt Xiao, we've arrived. Get off the bus!"
"We're here! Good, good, old man, let's get off the bus quickly!"
"Don't rush, be careful, don't fall!"
With the help of Guo Liren and Zhou Dagang, the two got out of the car smoothly.
"Which ward is Cheng Yi in?"
"Aunt Xiao, we'll take you there. Don't worry, we're already at the hospital entrance. Battalion Commander Xiao can't run away now."
"Yes, yes, you're right, but I just can't control myself!"
"I understand how you feel. Maybe by the time you get to the ward, Battalion Commander Xiao will already be awake!"
"Is that so? That's great! I don't ask for anything else, I just hope my son will be safe and sound!"
Guo Liren nodded and helped Zhang Guizhi up the steps to the hospital entrance.
In the ward, Xiao Chengyi had finished dinner under Liu Haizhu's care and was resting.
His brow furrowed slightly, not because of the pain in his leg, but because he was worried about his parents.
He did not inform his family about his injury, but Commander Song's arrangement caught him off guard.
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps echoed down the quiet corridor, and then the door to the ward was pushed open.
Following the sound, Xiao Chengyi saw his father and mother's worried faces.
"Father, Mother!"
"son!"
"Third brother!"
Seeing her son, Zhang Guizhi became even more excited. She broke free from Guo Liren's support and quickly walked to the bedside.
But when they got close, they didn't dare to get too close, afraid of accidentally hurting their son.
"Mom, don't worry, I'm fine now!"
A comforting word, however, made Zhang Guizhi lose control of her emotions.
Tears streamed down my face.
"What's so good about it! You're injured like this, you're tearing my heart out! Waaah..."
Xiao Yuanshan, standing to the side, also felt a pang of sadness. Looking at his third brother's right leg, which was wrapped in bandages, his eyes welled up with tears.
Seeing his parents like this, Xiao Chengyi felt even more guilty.
"Dad, Mom, I'm really fine. It's just a minor injury, and I'll be fine soon. The commander has granted me six months of sick leave, so I can stay home and spend some time with you!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Guizhi's crying gradually subsided.
"real?"
"Of course, Mom, don't worry, my leg will be better soon. I already asked the doctor during rounds earlier!"
"Really? What did the doctor say?"
"The doctor said the surgery was very successful, and as long as I rest well, there won't be any problems. It's just that I can't put any weight on this leg for a while!"
"That's good, that's good. Don't worry, your mother and father will take good care of you, and we will definitely heal your leg."
"I know, but I'm afraid it will be tough for you two while I'm at home. Please don't find me annoying!"
"Don't talk nonsense. Your mother looks forward to your return every day. She can't get enough of looking at you. How could she possibly dislike you?"
Once she calmed down, Zhang Guizhi began to think about her son's marriage again.
"Since your leg isn't seriously injured, let's take advantage of this vacation to get you and Xiumei married!"
When the topic of marriage came up, a beautiful image flashed through Xiao Chengyi's mind. It was fleeting, but it made him sigh.
"I have no objection if Xiumei agrees, but it's a bit rushed, and I'm afraid it might upset her!"
"What's the big deal? You have a six-month vacation. Your dad and I will take good care of it."
"Then I'll listen to Mother."
"Alright, alright, once you're healed, I'll start making arrangements. You should marry a wife as soon as possible so I can hold my grandson soon!"
"Mother, what are you saying? My eldest brother has two grandsons, and my second brother has one. Three grandsons aren't enough for you to hold!"
"How can they be the same? Your brother's family's property is your brother's property, and yours is yours. This mother can still tell the difference!"
"Aren't they all just grandsons? What's there to distinguish between them!"
