Return

Coincidentally, Liang Juan had just told Ye Min that Meng Cheng was coming back, and the next thing she knew she saw him when she left the ward.

There were many people coming and going in the inpatient department during the day, but Liang Juan still saw Meng Cheng at a glance. The reason was that he was too tall.

Yunnan Province, to which Donghe County belongs, is located in the southwest of the motherland, so there are more southerners coming here to serve in the army. Southerners are generally not tall, and a height of over 1.7 meters is considered good.

There were hundreds of military officers living in the garrison compound, but those over 1.8 meters tall could be counted on one hand, and Meng Cheng was one of them.

And compared with other tall guys, Meng Cheng looks pretty good, with a three-part face, five-point eyes, sword-like eyebrows, and bright eyes. He is very handsome.

If he had not just returned from the Vietnam War and went back to his hometown to find a wife, there would definitely be many people in the compound introducing him to potential partners.

Of course, the wife he married when he returned home was not bad either.

Although Ye Min is only a little over 1.6 meters tall, her height is not short for a southern girl. She has a slender figure. She is not plump, but she doesn't look skinny either.

She has curved eyebrows, big eyes, and facial features that are not particularly delicate overall, but when put together they look very comfortable. Everyone who sees her will say that this girl is good-looking.

Moreover, her education was not bad. She was a high school student before the Great Movement. Although she did not graduate from a medical school, she worked as a nurse in the health room before joining the army. She had a solid foundation. So not long after she arrived at the garrison, she was assigned to the military health station, and she worked as a nurse.

Before Ye Minlai joined the army, some people in the compound were gossiping that Miss Jiang Cheng had a bad temper and Meng Cheng might not be able to control her.

Only after people arrived did they realize that "the dragon gives birth to nine sons, each one is different". Even people from the same place may have different personalities.

Ye Min's personality is not timid, but he is not bad-tempered either. If I must say, he is a person who knows right from wrong and knows his limits.

If others are nice to her, she will also be nice to others, but if anyone dares to bully her by taking advantage of her youth, she will not be soft-hearted when she fights back.

Take what happened last night for example. Li Wenxiu thought Ye Min was easy to bully, but she didn't expect that she kicked an iron plate and ended up in the police station.

In short, in Liang Juan's opinion, these two people are still a good match.

Similarly, she felt that these two people were very conspicuous, especially Meng Cheng, who had the advantage of height and could be seen at a glance wherever he went.

After recognizing the person, Liang Juan no longer bothered to go back to Ward 214 to watch over the person. She waved to call the person over, then turned around and took the person to the temporary ward arranged by the hospital.

This ward is also a double room, but it is not in the obstetrics department. There were originally two patients staying in it. One was discharged this morning, and the other was scheduled to have surgery today and is not in the ward at the moment.

So when Liang Juan brought Meng Cheng in, only Ye Min and her mother were in the ward.

But there were only two awake. An An was only a few days old, and she was rarely awake except for drinking milk. Ye Min had just fed her milk before changing the door bolt, so the little girl was sleeping soundly at this time.

Meng Zheng lay beside the hospital bed, staring at his sister, counting the changes in his sister to Ye Min one by one.

What happened last night did have an impact on Meng Zheng, but children have short memories. In addition, Li Wenxiu and his wife were arrested smoothly, and An An was fine. Although Liang Juan and Ye Min were angry when they talked about this incident, they were not sad. Naturally, he would not keep thinking about it.

So he has returned to normal now, but after getting up, his eyes have almost never left his sister, and therefore he has noticed many changes in her.

First of all, he felt that his sister seemed a little whiter.

Secondly, she felt that her sister's skin seemed less wrinkled, and especially felt very smooth to the touch.

Finally, he thought that his sister's eyelashes seemed to have grown longer, like a small fan, and her hair seemed to have more, giving her a similar style to his.

To sum up, he thought his sister had become prettier and finally looked a bit like him.

Hmm... When Meng Zheng said these words, Ye Min kept nodding at first, but after hearing the latter part, she came to her senses. He was not counting the changes in his sister, but was clearly praising himself in a roundabout way!

Also, a child's hair is not like weeds that can grow in the wind. How can you tell that it has grown a lot in just one day? Oh, no, that's not right. She has never been bald. Her hair was thick and dark when she was born. You can tell at a glance that her hair quality is not bad.

This guy just wants to brag about himself and doesn't care about the Basic Law at all.

As the two were talking, they heard Liang Juan's voice coming from the door: "Dangdangdang, look who's here!"

Hearing the voice, the mother and son looked up at the same time and saw Liang Juan jump to the side and a man in a neat military uniform appeared at the door of the ward.

Seeing the man's face clearly, Meng Zheng jumped up from the bed, ran over screaming, threw himself into the man's arms and shouted excitedly: "Dad, you're back!"

As soon as Meng Zheng jumped up, Meng Cheng bent down. When Meng Zheng rushed to him, he stretched out his two long arms and picked up his son. A relaxed smile appeared on his face: "Well, Zheng Zheng, do you miss your daddy?"

"Yes!" The little boy nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and at the same time, he did not forget that there was a new member in the family, and happily announced the good news, "Dad, I have a sister!"

"Dad knows." Meng Cheng said as he carried his son to the bedside, bent down to put him down, and then looked at the little girl on the bed.

The little girl was wrapped tightly in a swaddling cloth, with a tiger-head hat on her head, leaving only her face exposed. Because she had eaten and drunk enough, she slept very soundly and quietly.

Meng Cheng looked at his daughter for a while, then looked up at his wife and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Before meeting Meng Cheng, Ye Min did not feel that she was wronged. Isn't it like this for all military wives? The couple spends more time together than together, and the husband is never at home.

She knew about it before getting married and felt it was acceptable. Even if it really happened, what was there to feel wronged about?

Besides, Meng Cheng didn't mean to stay away from coming back. He was a soldier and he went on missions under military orders for the sake of the stability of ordinary people including her and her children.

She should understand him!

But no matter how much she prepared herself mentally, no matter how much she forced herself to consider things from his perspective, when she actually met him in person, she couldn't help but tear up.

As soon as I lowered my head, tears couldn't help but flow out.

Meng Cheng saw her, not caring that Liang Juan was in the ward, and reached out to hold her in his arms, patting her shoulders and saying with guilt: "I'm sorry, I'm back late."

Ye Min didn't say anything, but just grabbed Meng Cheng's military uniform tightly, buried her face in his arms, and her tears flowed even more.

Seeing his mother crying, Meng Zheng was a little panicked at first, but as he watched, he couldn't help but feel sad and started crying as soon as he opened his mouth.

Liang Juan was about to leave and leave the empty ward for Meng Ye and his wife to express their love, but when she saw Meng Zheng crying loudly, she stopped in her tracks, walked over and asked angrily and amusedly, "Your mother is crying because she just gave birth to a child and what happened last night made her emotions out of control. Why are you crying here? Are you adding to the chaos?"

Meng Zheng's mouth was pursed, thinking that he was crying because his emotions were out of control! So he ignored Liang Juan and continued to howl.

Meng Cheng, on the other hand, quickly caught the message in Liang Juan's words and asked, "What happened last night?"

"Old Meng, you didn't catch up, but I was really enlightened last night. There was a woman in ward 216 who was also giving birth to a daughter of a noble family. She felt that her family was poor, and Xiaoye lived in a double room, and her family was well-off. So she wanted to swap her child with your daughter of a noble family, and let you help her raise the child. Do you think she had a good idea?"

Meng Cheng's expression froze, and he reflexively lowered his head to look at his daughter: "Is the child okay?"

"It's okay. The couple are really wicked. In order to do it secretly, they worked together to divert my attention while I was fetching water and put drugs in our hot water bottle."

Although Liang Juan had recounted what happened yesterday several times, she still couldn't help but feel scared when she talked about this part. She patted her chest and said, "Fortunately, your wife knows Chinese medicine. She guessed that the water was drugged as soon as she smelled it. After discussing it with me, she decided to lure the snake out of its hole. She caught the turtle in the jar at night. Now the couple has been arrested and taken to the police station."

Although Liang Juan spoke very briefly and it sounded like it was no big deal, it was a matter of children, and it was obvious that Ye Min must have felt very tormented yesterday.

He was not there when Meng Zheng was born, and he had promised to accompany her when she gave birth to her daughter, but he was not there in the end. As a result, she had to face other people's schemes alone before her wounds had fully recovered after giving birth.

The more he thought about it, the more it felt like a stone was pressing down on Meng Cheng's heart. He unconsciously put more force on Ye Min's shoulders, and his suppressed voice was full of regret: "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I should have returned directly after completing the mission and shouldn't have wasted time there."

After crying, Ye Min felt much better. She stepped out of Meng Cheng's arms, wiped her tears, looked up at him and said, "Don't blame yourself too much. I know you didn't stay away from home after your mission was over. I also believe that you made the decision for the greater good. I have Sister Liang taking care of me in the hospital, and the organization has also given me a lot of help. The situation is not as difficult as you think."

Ye Min paused for two seconds before speaking: "As for what happened last night, you didn't expect it to happen, and we are fine, aren't we?"

In fact, comparing those barrages, Ye Min could probably guess that whether it was the broken door bolt of Ward 214, or the out-of-stock door bolts in the supply and marketing cooperative, or the frequent problems in Meng Cheng's mission, they were actually the settings made by the author to justify the "real and fake daughter exchanging identities" incident.

Perhaps even if there hadn't been changes in the mission, his comrades were injured and needed surgery, and the train tickets were sold out that day, Meng Cheng would have been held back by other things.

She wanted to protect her daughter, but she could only see the barrage and figure it out on her own.

Thinking of this, Ye Min was already satisfied that Meng Cheng was able to return safely, so she quickly turned her attention to other things: "I heard from Sister Liang that someone on your mission was injured. Is it serious? How was the surgery result?"

"He was shot in the thigh, but luckily there was no damage to the bone joints. The surgery was also successful. If he recovers smoothly, it shouldn't affect his walking. However, he just had the surgery and cannot move for the time being, so he stayed in the area to recuperate."

"That's good." Ye Min breathed a sigh of relief and smiled again, "It's actually a good thing for you to stay there and watch him finish the surgery. Otherwise, you won't know his condition and you will definitely be uncomfortable when you come back. If I knew, I would definitely be worried. Sister Liang said that I am in confinement now and I can't worry all the time."

Meng Cheng heard this and thought, there were eight people on this mission, even if he came back, there would be others left there to take care of this matter. After he came back, he could also call there and find out about the surgery of his injured comrades.

And even if he came back, he would definitely not tell her about his comrade's injury, just like when he contacted the army leader, the leader concealed the fact that Ye Min had set off in advance. Naturally, she would not be sad about this matter.

But he knew that she said this to comfort him, so he swallowed all those rational analyses, just gently held her hand and said: "I have asked for a month's leave. During this time, I will take good care of you and..."

"An An." Ye Min looked at her daughter and said with a smile, "I gave her a nickname, An An."

Meng Cheng understood: "... and An An."

Seeing his mother stop crying, Meng Zheng also stopped crying. After waiting for a long time, he still didn't hear his name. He was very dissatisfied and asked, "Isn't it me? I have a hard time when you are not at home, Dad! Don't you take care of me?"

Liang Juan asked, "You have food to eat and children to play with every day, so how can it be hard?"

"I miss my mom and sister," Meng Zheng said as if it was a matter of course. When he met his father's gaze, he remembered and added, "Oh, and dad too."

Meng Cheng, who was almost missed, stretched out his big hand and rubbed his son's hair heavily before saying, "Okay, you're also welcome!"

But Meng Zheng was not happy. He uttered an "Ah~" and complained while he was busy fixing his hair: "My hair! You messed it up again, Dad!"
