Chapter 65: Going to the Army
Shi Luo woke up in the morning. He felt sore all over when he moved a little. He muttered "beast" and lay there motionless.
Jiang Hao chuckled when he heard Shi Luo's words, and quickly brought the warm water he had prepared in advance and fed Shi Luo a few sips. He then took the basin and helped Shi Luo wash up and put on his clothes. Then the two of them sat on the kang and started to eat.
Jiang Hao handed the red date porridge in his hand to Shi Luo, looked at Shi Luo tenderly and said,
"Bao, I cooked red date millet porridge this morning, made egg pancakes, and cut some pickled radish. Eat more."
Shi Luo took the porridge and took a sip. He had used up too much energy yesterday and was really hungry now.
Only after finishing the whole bowl of porridge did Shi Luo feel relieved and handed the bowl to Jiang Hao.
"Give me another bowl. I got up late today and decided not to go to work. Please ask for leave for me."
Jiang Hao stood up and got off the kang to serve porridge. "No need to ask for leave. It's raining outside today. Just now, the team's loudspeaker announced that the important work in the fields is almost done.
The seeds and everything have been planted, and it happened to rain, which allowed the soil to soak up some water, so the entire team has a day off today."
Shi Luo: "Then my luck is really good."
The two were having dinner when Jiang Jianguo came running over in the rain.
When he entered the house, he saw that the breakfast on the table for the two people was millet and flour, but he didn't say anything.
He knew that Lao Wu and Shi Zhiqing were both rich, so it wouldn't be a big deal if they ate better.
Jiang Hao looked at his embarrassed old father with a confused face and quickly got off the kang.
"Dad, what's the matter? Why are your clothes all wet? Don't we have an umbrella at home? Why are you still covered in mud? Did you fall? Where did you fall? Let me see quickly."
"I didn't fall. Lao Wu, the postman just delivered a telegram saying your brother is injured and is now in the military hospital over there. They said he's fine, but I'm still worried."
Jiang Jianguo was extremely anxious, but fortunately he managed to suppress his anxiety.
"Only your mother and I know about this. We haven't told your brothers and sisters-in-law at home. I was thinking, why don't you go and take a look? Once you know the details, call the brigade and tell us how badly your brother is injured. That way, your mother and I will have an idea."
The eldest brother has suffered many injuries, but he never told his family about it because he was afraid that they would worry about him. He only said a few simple words to them when he went home to visit.
This time they have sent a telegram, I am afraid that the injury is serious. I really feel uneasy if I don’t send someone from my family to check on him.
Jiang Hao also thought of this, "Okay, I'll pack up and go right away. But do I need to bring my sister-in-law with me? She is my eldest brother's wife after all."
Jiang Jianguo took out two hundred yuan, a few military tickets and letters of introduction from his pocket and stuffed them into Jiang Hao's hands. "Don't take her with you. She has never been far away since she was a child. Taking her with you will only cause more trouble.
Take this money and ticket. These tickets were sent back by the eldest brother. I guess you will have to stay there for a few days after you go there, so you can take care of your brother.
When the time comes, buy him some good nourishment, don't be stingy with your money."
Jiang Hao didn't hesitate and put the money in his pocket.
"Dad, go back. Shi Luo has all my things here. I'll just pack them up here. Don't worry, my eldest brother is very lucky and will be fine."
"Okay, I'll be leaving first. Be careful on the way, and don't forget to call the team when you get there."
Jiang Jianguo left right after he finished speaking, without staying even for a second. There was nothing he could do about it, as he always felt a little awkward staying with this son-in-law.
Seeing Jiang Jianguo leave, Jiang Hao also started to pack up.
"Lolo, I estimate I'll be gone for at least ten days or half a month. You should take good care of yourself at home."
Jiang Hao packed a bag of clothes, a bag of food and a pot of hot water and prepared to set off.
Shi Luo thought about it and took out a bag of ginseng slices from the space. He had just cut and wrapped them in the space with his consciousness.
This ginseng was collected from the Imperial Pharmacy in my second life. It is about fifty years old. There are many ginsengs like this in the space, and there are even many that are hundreds of years old.
"This is for you. If anything happens, you can use it. Even if you have nothing else to do, you can make soup with it to replenish your body."
Jiang Hao took the ginseng slices and stuffed them into his cloth bag. He hugged Shi Luo and gave her a kiss. "Thank you, my dear. I'll be leaving now."
Jiang Hao was also worried about Jiang Hai, so he put on a raincoat and rode his bicycle to the commune. Fortunately, it was just drizzling, so he didn't get too wet.
When I arrived at the commune, I gave the bicycle to Liu Shan who was working at a state-owned hotel and told her to ride it back in the evening before going to the train station.
I was lucky enough to have a train to Jianghai in an hour and a half.
Jiang Hao didn't mind that there were only hard seat tickets. He quickly bought one and hurriedly queued up to get on the train.
Jiang Hao took the train for a day and a half before arriving at his destination.
After getting off the car, he didn't even bother to pack up and went straight to the military hospital.
The military hospital is too big. Even someone like Jiang Hao, who has seen a lot of things, has to ask around before he can find the inpatient department.
When I arrived at the inpatient department, I quickly stopped the nurse who was sitting opposite me.
"Hello, comrade. May I ask which ward Jiang Hai is staying in?"
The young nurse frowned at the unkempt man who stopped her.
"Who are you? What do you want from Deputy Commander Jiang?"
Jiang Hao had no choice but to take out the letter of introduction and show it to the nurse.
"I'm his biological brother. I heard he was injured, so I came here to take care of him."
After the nurse took the letter of introduction and confirmed Jiang Hao's identity, she said with a smile,
"Deputy Commander Jiang is in Ward 201. Go upstairs, turn left and go straight. It's the first room."
Jiang Hao took back his letter of introduction, carried his bag and went straight to Room 201 upstairs.
As soon as Jiang Hao entered the ward, he saw his elder brother lying on the bed by the window.
At the same time, Jiang Hai also recognized that the person who just came in was actually his younger brother.
"Xiaowu, why are you here?"
"Brother, you're hurt."
The two people asked in unison.
Jiang Hao smiled and put the luggage on the floor next to Jiang Hai's bed. He sat on the stool next to the bed and said,
"My family received a telegram saying you were injured, so they sent me over immediately. Where are you hurt? Is it serious?"
Jiang Hai was very happy to see his younger brother.
"The telegram should have been sent by the guard who was newly assigned by the leader to take care of me. He didn't understand the situation and blamed me for forgetting to tell him that I didn't need to tell my family.
I'm fine, I was just hit by a few bullets and accidentally hit my leg. The doctor said that with proper treatment there won't be any sequelae. I'm fine now, but I think the leg injury will need some care, otherwise it will be difficult to walk. After all, as the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone."
Jiang Hao felt relieved after hearing this and continued to ask, "How many bullets did you take? Where were the wounds? How did you hit your leg? Don't tell me you fell, as a soldier. Also, I just heard the nurse say you were the deputy division commander. When did you get promoted? How come your family doesn't know about it?"
