After the operation was completed, Ye Qingtao breathed a sigh of relief.

It was already past five in the afternoon and the military doctor in the infirmary was about to get off work.

Not long after the operation was completed, Du Haibing opened his eyes.

Ye Qingtao was packing up her equipment and asked casually when she saw him wake up.

"How do you feel now?"

“It feels, it feels good.”

Du Haibing now feels nothing but pain.

In order not to make Ye Qingtao worry, he had to grit his teeth and say that he was fine.

Ye Qingtao couldn't help but laugh when she saw the beads of sweat on his forehead.

This man seemed to be much gentler than usual despite his stubborn appearance.

"I have fixed your leg with a special method. Don't walk for half a month. Otherwise, the wound will split again and even I will be unable to do anything about it."

"Okay, okay, I get it, I get it."

"Thank you, Dr. Ye. Thank you, Dr. Ye."

Du Haibing then thanked him several times and said that after this incident, he would definitely take good care of his legs in the future.

"Here is an ointment that I personally developed. Applying it can speed up the healing of the wound."

"Start applying this after a week, three times a day, apply the amount of a small fingernail each time, don't apply more or less."

Ye Qingtao gave him a porcelain bottle, and Du Haibing took it with both hands, enduring the pain in his legs.

"Doctor Ye, I understand. I will do as you say."

Du Haibing now completely regards Ye Qingtao as his life-saving straw.

He listened to whatever Ye Qingtao said and did not dare to refute at all.

Ye Qingtao nodded. She was a little surprised by Du Haibing's easy-going manner.

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. Take care of yourself."

"When you feel better, you can leave the army's infirmary."

"You can return to your unit now and live in the family compound, but you need someone to take care of you. Remember not to act stubbornly."

Ye Qingtao thought he was a disobedient person and couldn't help but say a few more words.

"Doctor Ye, thank you for telling me this even though I treated you so badly."

Du Haibing thanked him sincerely, and Ye Qingtao nodded and left.

Gu Jingming is still with Gu Xiuping in the military hospital.

It was already dark now, and Ye Qingtao didn't plan to drive back at night.

She decided to go find Aunt Liu first, have dinner with them, and talk about Gu Xiuping's current situation.

Ye Qingtao drove away from the army. Every time she came, she would save many people. Even the guards of the army were very respectful to her.

Not only did they salute her when they entered, but they also saluted her when they left.

Ye Qingtao drove to Gu Xiuyuan's house. Aunt Liu was cooking at this time.

Aunt Liu heard the noise outside and curiously stretched her neck to look out of the kitchen window.

When I saw Ye Qingtao's car, I immediately guessed that she was back.

Aunt Liu moved the pot aside, put down the work in her hands, quickly washed her hands, and without even having time to wipe them, she hurriedly pushed the door open and ran out.

Gu Xiuyuan and Gu Xiu'an were playing chess in the living room. When they saw Aunt Liu running out of the kitchen in a hurry, they immediately looked up at her in confusion.

"I saw your brother and sister-in-law's car when I was cooking just now. They might be back!"

Gu Xiuyuan widened his eyes in shock. He didn't even have the heart to play chess and just stood up straight.

"My brother and sister-in-law are back. Does that mean my brother is back too?"

Gu Xiuyuan's face showed ecstasy. He trotted to the door and quickly opened it.

As soon as Ye Qingtao parked the car and walked over, Gu Xiuyuan hugged her tightly.

"Sister-in-law! You're back! Is my brother back too?"

Gu Xiuyuan stretched his neck and looked behind Ye Qingtao.

How he wished he could see his brother right away.

Although they knew it was impossible, the brothers hadn't seen each other for a week and missed each other terribly.

His younger brother had undergone such a major surgery, but Gu Xiuyuan still didn’t know what his condition was.

Although my brother and sister-in-law have called me, there is still a big difference between seeing him in person and just hearing about him.

"Gu Xiuping is still in the hospital. He underwent a major surgery and will need to stay in the hospital for at least another week."

"oh."

Gu Xiuyang withdrew his gaze and said with a little disappointment.

Soon he smiled again and smiled brightly at her.

"Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law. If you hadn't helped my brother with the surgery, he might never have had the hope of becoming a normal person in his lifetime."

Gu Xiuyuan is good at talking and a little bit like a spoiled child.

He took Ye Qingtao's hand and shook it gently, looking like he was acting coquettishly.

"You're welcome. I'm your sister-in-law."

Ye Qingtao put her hands on his shoulders and gently rubbed his little head.

Gu Xiuyuan opened her little mouth and smiled sweetly at him.

Gu Xiu'an walked over, raised his head and looked at her eagerly.

Aunt Liu also came over, her face also full of anticipation.

Ye Qingtao had no choice but to repeat to them what she had said to Gu Xiuyuan.

The two were very happy to hear that Gu Xiuping's operation was very successful and he would be discharged from the hospital in another week.

Especially Gu Xiu'an, who seldom smiles because of his autism. But when he heard the news about his brother, his mouth suddenly lifted with joy.

Gu Xiu'an took her hand and led her into the house to play chess.

Aunt Liu closed the door, wiped the handle on her trouser legs, followed them and asked.

"Has Qingtao eaten dinner? If not, I'll make some more dishes today."

"Not yet. I just performed surgery on someone in the army. I thought you were worried about Xiuping's condition, so I rushed over right after the surgery."

Ye Qingtao briefly recounted what had happened, and Aunt Liu nodded to show that she understood.

"I'll go cook now and it will be ready in a while. Just wait and eat."

Aunt Liu seemed to be in a good mood and was humming a happy tune as she walked.

It can be seen that after grandma passed away, Aunt Liu treated them as her own grandchildren.

Aunt Liu never married and had no children in her life. When she was young, her family wanted to rob her, but she refused ruthlessly.

Later, her mother told her that if she had the ability, she should never come home and that they would pretend that she had never been born.

Aunt Liu is also a stubborn person. She would rather go out on her own and be alone than go home.

She is almost 50 years old now. She is the eldest daughter in the family and her mother is almost 70 years old.

In a blink of an eye, she has broken away from her family for more than 20 years. If her mother was in poor health, she might have passed away by now.

Even so, Aunt Liu never thought about going back.

She felt that her life was good now and she no longer had to associate with people who drained her emotions.

She has taken care of these children for three years and now treats them as her own family.
