"Why are you taking so long with such a small thing?" Zeng Yike was a little dissatisfied.
Chen Yintang sighed. His wife was still as bad-tempered as ever. She hadn't changed at all in the two years since he left!
"Then let's go home now. We've been traveling a lot these past few days and it's been tiring." Zeng Yike was the first to suggest.
Zeng Wenjuan shook her head: "Since we came back to help Brother Jianguo treat his injuries, let's go to the hospital first! I also want to see how he is doing."
Seeing her daughter say this, Zeng Yike asked someone to drive to the hospital.
After arriving at the hospital, I went straight to the ward. The door was open, and I saw Zhao Jianguo lying on the bed, with a female comrade sitting next to him, helping him peel an apple, and the two were chatting and laughing.
"What are you two doing?" Zeng Yike couldn't stand the conduct between men and women.
Xu Ting quickly stood up and moved away: "Commander, we didn't do anything. I saw that there was no one in the ward, so I came in to peel an apple for Captain Zhao."
"There is nothing for you to do here. You can eat the apple you peeled yourself! Zhao Jianguo's wife and children are here, so we don't need anyone else to help take care of them." Zeng Yike said with a serious face.
Xu Ting knew that Zeng Yike had misunderstood, but she felt that now was not a good opportunity to explain, so she could only wait until next time. She smiled at them and left.
"Wenjuan, why are you here? This is Goudan, right? He's grown up now! Thank you, Chief, for bringing my wife and child here for me." Zhao Jianguo didn't know the relationship between Zeng Yike and Zeng Wenjuan yet, but he was happy when he saw his wife and child for the first time.
"What do you mean? If you don't want to see Wenjuan, I will take her and the child home now so that she won't bother you here. Remember to write a self-criticism and hand it in after the operation at the latest." Zeng Yike, who hated evil, hated these heartless people even more. She was even more angry when this man was her son-in-law.
Zeng Wenjuan understood Zhao Jianguo, and she knew that he was not that kind of person: "Mom and Dad, go and arrange for Brother Jianguo's surgery first! Goudan and I will talk to him here."
Zeng Yike sighed, but still respected Zeng Wenjuan's wishes, closed the ward door and left.
When Zhao Jianguo heard Zeng Wenjuan calling Zeng Yike "Mom and Dad", his eyes almost dropped out of his head in shock: "Wenjuan, you found your parents? I'm so happy for you. Am I right? They all love you."
"Yes! Brother Jianguo has never lied to me. Then can you tell me who that female comrade was just now?" Zeng Wenjuan took Goudan to the place where Xu Ting had just sat and asked.
Zhao Jianguo fished out a hairpin from under the pillow: "She came to give me this just now. Seeing that I was still on an IV drip and no one was watching me in the ward, she chatted with me for a while. Lower your head and I'll put it on for you."
Zeng Wenjuan obediently handed her head over, and Zhao Jianguo helped Zeng Wenjuan put on the hairpin: "Hmm... it's really beautiful. I saw Xu Ting before I went out for a mission some time ago... I thought the hairpin on that female comrade's head was very beautiful, so I asked her to buy one for me. I also bought a lot of hairpins and hairbands in my room. I originally wanted to give it to you when I got home, but now that you are here, I will give it to you after I am discharged from the hospital!"
"You always go over to ask a lesbian if you see a pretty hairpin or hair tie on her head!"
"Of course. I'll ask when everyone is here so no one will misunderstand me." Zhao Jianguo didn't think he had done anything wrong.
Zeng Wenjuan looked at Zhao Jianguo's serious expression and was instantly amused. Ever since Zhao Jianguo joined the army, he would give her a hair tie and hairpin whenever she came home. She never thought that Zhao Jianguo would buy them like this.
“Hehe…” Zhao Jianguo saw Zeng Wenjuan laughing and started to laugh too.
"Oh, right..." Zeng Wenjuan took out the separation document from a bag and handed it to Zhao Jianguo: "Our family has separated from my parents, and the pension money has been paid off. Basically, we have severed ties with the entire Zhao family."
Zhao Jianguo took the separation document and read it again and again: "It's good to separate the family. You can stay here with the army. Even if my leg injury can't be cured and I have to retire, I can transfer my household registration with me because of my position."
"Okay, as long as you don't blame me." Zeng Wenjuan said softly.
Zhao Jianguo held Zeng Wenjuan's hand and said, "Husband and wife are one. I support you no matter what decision you make."
"Goudan, come here... How come you haven't even called daddy after being in the house for so long?" Zhao Jianguo waved at Goudan.
Goudan hid behind Zeng Wenjuan a little embarrassedly, but after hiding for a while and hearing no sound, he stuck his head out again and saw Zeng Wenjuan and Zhao Jianguo both looking at him with smiles.
"This little guy, he didn't recognize me just because I haven't been home for two years." Zhao Jianguo has been studying in a military academy for the past two years. He was recommended by his superiors. He went on a mission not long after graduation and was injured when he came back.
Zeng Wenjuan smiled and said to Goudan, "Goudan, he is your father. Didn't you say you wanted to see your father on the way here? Why don't you call for him now that you see him?"
Goudan poked half of his head out from behind Zeng Wenjuan and shyly called out, "Dad." Then he hid back behind Zeng Wenjuan.
"How can you, a man, be so hesitant? Come here and let me take a look at you. I was the one who changed your diapers when you were just born." Zhao Jianguo said to Goudan in a domineering manner.
Goudan heard this and stood up angrily: "I'm not wasting time, I just don't want to talk to you."
"I'm your father. If you don't talk to me, who do you want to talk to?" Zhao Jianguo thought his son was interesting.
"I want to talk to mom, grandpa, grandma, sister Li Li, Ergou, Shitou... I don't want to talk to you." Goudan was not afraid of Zhao Jianguo and confronted him head-on when he heard his words.
Zhao Jianguo was so angry that he laughed. It seems that everyone has something to say for you, but you have nothing to say!
This brat.
"Goudan, you can't talk like that." Zeng Wenjuan frowned and scolded, and Goudan then stood obediently beside Zeng Wenjuan.
After a while, Chen Yitang and Zeng Yike came back.
"Mom and Dad, what's the condition of Brother Jianguo's leg? Can it be cured?" Zeng Wenjuan asked hurriedly when she saw the two people coming back.
Chen Yitang glanced at Zeng Wenjuan and Zhao Jianguo and immediately realized that the two had reconciled. Although he was unhappy with Zhao Jianguo in every way, he didn't want Zeng Wenjuan to worry so much.
"I have talked to his attending physician. With my acupuncture, there is an 80% chance that the leg injury will be cured at the beginning. After that, with leg massage, it can be restored to the state before the leg was injured, or even better. Some of his leg diseases can also be cured at the same time."
