Feeling the soft touch on his lips and the faint scent of his daughter's fragrance, Lu Jiang felt so happy that he wished Feng Qingxue's hand would stay on his mouth a little longer. Unfortunately, Feng Qingxue withdrew her hand to pour water because his lips were dry.
Lu Jiang's gaze followed Feng Qingxue without blinking.
"Drink some water." Feng Qingxue tilted the enamel pot slightly, put it close to his mouth, and watched him take several big gulps.
"Qingxue, don't just focus on me. Sit down and have a rest. Drink some water and eat an apple. You must be tired on the way." Lu Jiang was no longer thirsty, but he talked more. "When did you arrive? You didn't even say hello to me. Who told you that I was injured? Was it Captain Zhao or Brother Ouyang? It must have taken half a month by train, right?"
Feng Qingxue sat on the chair beside the bed, "You have too many questions, which one should I answer first?"
"Even if you don't answer, I can still guess what's going on." Lu Jiang said, looking at her with heartache. She was more beautiful than before they parted, so beautiful that it was breathtaking, but mentally she looked very haggard. Her face was not as rosy as usual, and her clothes were wrinkled and covered in dust. It was obvious that she came here directly after getting off the train and had not had a good rest at all.
If he wasn't lying in bed unable to move, Lu Jiang really wanted to hug her and kiss her.
Feng Qingxue's face turned slightly red.
How could she, who is so smart, not sense the meaning in Lu Jiang's eyes?
She looked around a few times, but her eyes didn't meet Lu Jiang's. She said, "We had good food and drink along the way, and it wasn't hard at all. Don't make that expression, as if I've suffered a lot! But you, how long have you been in the hospital? Are you going to stay in the hospital or go home to recuperate? If you are discharged from the hospital, will there be a chance to go back to your hometown?"
Go back to hometown?
Lu Jiang was shocked. This was a good idea!
As long as you are discharged from the hospital, there is basically no difference between returning to the army for recuperation and going home for recuperation. Moreover, going home can reduce the burden on the army, and you can marry your beloved one early without having to suffer the pain of missing each other in two places.
So, when the doctor came to change his dressing, he asked when he could be discharged from the hospital.
The doctor was a middle-aged female doctor. While changing his dressing, she replied, "Discharge? You wish! It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone, and you still have four shrapnel that haven't been removed! Moreover, the wound from the operation hasn't healed completely, so why should you be discharged? Stay in the hospital! Even if you are discharged, you will have to recover from your injuries for a year or so!"
"Doctor, what should I pay attention to in my daily life? Are there any dietary taboos? What can I eat to promote wound healing?" Feng Qingxue stood aside and listened and watched. After the doctor changed the medicine and re-bandaged Lu Jiang's wound, she humbly asked for advice.
The doctor pushed up his glasses and looked at Feng Qingxue for a few seconds, revealing a hint of surprise, "Who are you?"
Lu Jiang immediately said, "Doctor Guo, she is my girlfriend. She just arrived today and came to see me!"
"You are so lucky, boy. Such a beautiful girl has come all the way to see you!" Doctor Guo joked a few times, then turned to Feng Qingxue and said, "You don't have to worry about nursing. The hospital has arranged a special nurse to take care of it. As for the diet, just feed him good food and try to avoid eating plants. There is nothing else to worry about." His attitude was very amiable.
Feng Qingxue thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you for your trouble, Doctor Guo."
"You're welcome. This is what we should do. He is a hero who serves his country and his people, and he deserves respect from every one of us!"
