When they brought Tang Sumei back, the same car also carried equipment and medicine that Political Commissar Qin supposedly managed to get back.
A week later, the person in the hospital bed opened their eyes and immediately reached for the thing in their arms.
When Qin Qinghuai and Regiment Commander Lin arrived after hearing the news, the scene was already in chaos.
The patient, who should have been lying in bed, was leaning haphazardly in a corner of the ward. The gauze on his body was soaked with blood, and even the gauze on his head had been torn off and thrown aside. His wound was open, and bright red blood was seeping out again. His face was pale, and he seemed somewhat delirious.
The hospital gown he had specially changed into was also covered in bloodstains.
The room was also badly damaged. The IV drip stand was lying against the wall, and the wooden cabinet by the bed was thrown out as a weapon and was now in pieces. The curtain in the middle was also torn down and thrown on the ground.
There was also spilled disinfectant and gauze and powder that needed to be re-bandaged.
The place was a complete mess.
Qin Qinghuai and his companion couldn't find a place to stand, so they stood at the doorway.
What's going on?
"Where is he? Go find a doctor! What happened to this person? Didn't you perform brain surgery? What happened?"
The young nurse patted her chest, still shaken.
"The first thing he did when he opened his eyes was look for a pocket watch. Where was I looking for a pocket watch? He went crazy and kicked us all out when we didn't give him the pocket watch."
Pocket watch?
"Political Commissar, it really is you. Didn't you say you knew me?"
Qin Qinghuai's hand tightened, and he slowly took out the pocket watch.
Are you looking for this? Or... this?
Two identical pocket watches were opened, the only difference being that one was new and the other was old; one had a brand-new photograph, while the other was blurry.
The person inside stumbled, then scrambled over, their eyes fixed intently on the pocket watch.
"How come you have both of them? Give them back to me!"
He reached out to snatch both of them, but Qin Qinghuai swiftly pulled them back. Jian Liye's eyes widened, and he gritted his teeth.
"That's mine, give it back to me."
Knowing that this man was his father-in-law, Qin Qinghuai didn't dare to tease him too much, for fear that he would make things difficult for him later or complain to his wife.
"Now, can we talk properly?"
Jian Liye clenched his fists in anger, panting for a while before reluctantly uttering a single word.
"......able."
Qin Qinghuai immediately nodded and readily gave instructions to the nurses outside.
"Please move this patient to a different room. We'll have to trouble you to tidy up here; this will add to your workload."
The nurse was more than happy to oblige and quickly took the person away.
"Alright, alright, Political Commissar, this ward will do. We'll clean it up; it's our job."
After taking Jian Liye to the next ward, Tang Sumei rushed over. She looked like she had just had surgery; her hair was still disheveled.
"Qinghuai, I heard the patient has woken up?"
Oh, Qin Qinghuai suddenly remembered that it wasn't just his wife who was conflicted about seeing her father who had come back from the dead; his father-in-law should be conflicted too. He hadn't been back for years, and suddenly several family members had appeared. This sudden realization made him want to laugh.
"Second Aunt, I've had the person moved to this ward. They were a bit agitated just now and damaged quite a few things in the ward. Could you have someone calculate it and let me know?"
Tang Sumei didn't take it seriously and agreed immediately, knowing that he and the regimental commander must have come on important business.
"Okay, okay, I'll check him out first. By the way, how's Xiao Dan recovering? Is the child still fussy?"
When talking about his wife and children, his smile softened.
"It's great. She's been following the recipes you gave her and making different dishes. She looks much better and her spirits are high. She herself says that she has recovered quite a bit."
child,"
After thinking about it for a moment, I remembered what the old lady had said.
"As long as you don't cry, you're not being naughty."
Tang Sumei immediately smiled.
"What are you saying? What do babies who haven't even finished their first month know? If they cry, it's because they're uncomfortable somewhere, and that's already quite well-behaved."
Qin Qinghuai did not argue.
"Yes, every time she cries, the whole neighborhood can hear it,"
"Go away, go away, doesn't that mean the child has good lung capacity?"
Tang Sumei couldn't lie about this topic; she had experienced the baby's cries firsthand, and they were incredibly loud. She had delivered quite a few babies, but this was the first time she had ever heard one so loud.
Jian Liye listened quietly, letting the doctor examine him. Various instruments measured his body, then wiped him down, disinfected, applied medicine, and bandaged him. It was all over quickly.
"Okay, I understand. I'll re-bandage your head injury. Don't make any more sudden movements, or if you bleed like this again and have to go back to the operating room, I might not be able to save you."
As for this leg, if you don't want it anymore, just do what you want. It'll save these people the trouble of trying to save it for you; they might as well just amputate it.
Tang Sumei has a straightforward temper and usually speaks directly to her patients. She is especially blunt with patients who do not appreciate the doctor's hard work or their own health, and she gives them a long lecture.
Jian Liye felt inexplicably insecure and dared not speak loudly.
"Okay, I understand. I'll definitely listen this time."
obedient?
Qin Qinghuai turned his head and laughed nonstop.
"Alright, Qinghuai, he's awake. I should go back now. He's out of danger. For any further questions, just ask Doctor Qin."
I'll go check on Xiao Dan at noon, and I'll head back to Xiangyang Commune this afternoon. Find me a car; it's a temporary assignment, and staying too long isn't good. It'll be fine once I'm transferred back later.
