Chapter 49

He raised his hand and poked the wound on the bottom lane expedition that had just healed.

Lu Yuanzheng hissed.

Xu asked, "Doctor Li, please be gentle. How is his injury? Has it gotten worse?"

Except for the night of New Year's Eve, Lu Yuanzheng went to the sanitation department to change dressings and receive intravenous drips.

Xu Wen didn't hesitate either, guessing that he was probably afraid of being embarrassed like that night.

Li Daoming: “…”

He was very measured in his attack. Although it hurt, it definitely didn't cause Lu Yuanzheng to wail. Did he do it on purpose? Just to make his wife feel sorry for him?

Li Daoming looked at Lu Yuanzheng and said: You bastard! You have no shame!

The journey was long and arduous, and he raised his brows with pride.

Li Daoming rolled his eyes, but still replied to Xu Wen with some relief: "It's much better than I thought! I thought he would come back in red. It must be that my sister-in-law is amazing and can control him!"

Xu Wen smiled and didn't take such polite words seriously.

The more I hear the word "sister-in-law", the more I get used to it.

After Li Daoming prescribed the medicine, he gave some instructions and left!

He has to go home and catch up on his sleep.

Lu Yuanzheng and Xu Wen were the only ones left in the ward.

For a moment, both of them were speechless.

Lu Yuanzheng's physical condition is indeed strong, his spirits are getting better day by day, and many of his injuries are visibly improving.

The bruises on the eyes have basically gone away, and the face finally looks better.

Xu Wen peeled a banana and handed it to Lu Yuanzheng.

Lu Yuanzheng took it and said something for fun: "Do you have anything you want to get home before going to school? If so, why don't you ask your family to send it to you and go directly to school from here?"

Xu Wen shook his head, "No. I thought so too. I asked other sisters-in-law, and they said there is a direct train to Beijing here. I will go buy a ticket this afternoon."

The train station is not far from the hospital.

Lu Yuanzheng's condition improved day by day, and she no longer had to worry about Dongsheng being left alone to take care of him. She really had no reason not to go to school.

She has to report to school after the Lantern Festival, and she wants to buy the ticket in advance.

Lu Yuanzheng frowned, "Go by yourself?"

"What else?" Xu Wen looked him up and down, "Are you going to take me there?"

He can't even walk properly with crutches, so I really can't count on him.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yuanzheng nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take you there."

Xu asked: "..."

"I just said it casually, don't take it seriously." Xu Wen waved his hand.

Most of Lu Yuanzheng's gauze has been removed now. Although he no longer looks like a mummy, he still has two broken bones!

Send her like this? Send her in a wheelchair?

"I'm worried about you going alone." Lu Yuanzheng said seriously.

"Tsk! You were so decisive when you were persuading me to break off the engagement, and now you're not even worried about me sitting on a train?" Xu Wen didn't appreciate it.

Women might really hold grudges! Lu Yuanzheng thought helplessly.

"It's different. I'm not urging you to break off the engagement, I just think..." Lu Yuanzheng frowned, thinking about the right words.

"Not worthy of me?"

Lu Yuanzheng was silent for a while and nodded, "That's about it. You..."

"I deserve better, right? Stop! Captain Lu, I didn't hear you were so unconfident? Did you hurt your brain? I'll call Doctor Li back to take a look at you."

Lu Yuanzheng: "..."

This girl's words are becoming more and more vicious.

"You'd better stay away from those people in the company. You've been corrupted by them." Lu Yuanzheng paused and continued, "It's not that I don't have confidence... I just hope you don't regret it. But whether you follow me or not, I can't let you take the train by yourself. It's not safe for a girl like you to travel thousands of miles."

If he was awake, he would never let her do it by herself. He still hasn't asked which bastard called Xu Wen here.

"Are you going to send me there in a wheelchair or on crutches?"

This was clearly a joke from Xu Wen, but who knew Lu Yuanzheng would actually think about it and answer her: "I'll try to see if I can apply for a flight to take you there."

Xu asked: "..."

While Xu Wen was hitchhiking back to the company to pick up Dongsheng who was missing his mother, Lu Yuanzheng sneaked to the hospital and went to the agency to find Lian Zhenxing.

Lian Zhenxing is the Uncle Lian that Dongsheng mentioned back then. He was his former regiment commander and is now the brigade commander.

Lian Zhenxing was quite surprised to see Lu Yuanzheng, "Hey! What's wrong with you? You came here on crutches?"

"I have something to ask of you."

"It's rare for you to ask for help. Tell me what's the trouble?"

"It's not a big deal. My wife got into college, right? I want to apply for permission to fly."

The Aviation Administration is still a military-civilian integration, so not just anyone with money can ride on it. One needs to be a cadre of a certain level.

"This is not difficult. It is reasonable. You have made great contributions and almost sacrificed your life for the country. You let your family fly back..." Lian Zhenxing glanced at Lu Yuanzheng, "You can do such a small thing without asking me, right?"

Lu Yuanzheng is now a battalion commander after all, so he can still arrange such a small matter.

"There is one more thing."

"say."

"I remember that we have a rule that injured people like me can apply for rest. I want to apply."

Wounded soldiers like Lu Yuanzheng who had just returned from the battlefield could apply for a few months of recuperation in a different place.

Usually they go to places with beautiful scenery.

It is like a disguised vacation, except that it is in a sanatorium, which is also owned by the military.

Lian Zhenxing glanced at Lu Yuanzheng and asked, "When were you not qualified? But didn't you always go?"

"I want to go this time. I want to go to the capital."

"Why don't you go to heaven? Have you heard of anyone going to the capital for recuperation? Besides, the management of the sanatoriums in the capital is very strict. We are close to Guilin, and the scenery there is nice."

“Guilin is too hot.”

"Is it the heat in Guilin or is there anyone you like in the capital?"

Lu Yuanzheng stopped talking and just laughed.

"Get lost!"

"Okay!" Lu Yuanzheng turned around and left. He knew this was an agreement.

"Stop right there."

Lu Yuanzheng turned around and asked, "What else do you want me to do, leader?"

"You should hand in your marriage registration first. Didn't you file the registration six months ago? I only saw you apply but didn't see you submit the documents. Otherwise, how can your wife register to take the flight?"

Lu Yuanzheng hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Okay."

"I heard that your girlfriend is a female college student?"

"Yes. He is the top scorer in this year's college entrance examination."

"I can see your stomach! Shut up a little! I haven't seen you so happy even when you won the first-class merit." Lian Zhenxing finished his ridicule and added, "Bring her home for dinner later."

"Okay!"

"Get lost."

Xu Wen asked, “This is the first time I’ve ever been on a plane in my life.”

She was not very interested in airplanes, but was somewhat curious about the people who took airplanes, especially the flight attendants.

Decades later, stewardesses are famous for their fair skin and good looks, with their slender figures showing off in their uniforms.

But at that time, curvy uniforms were not popular.

There were very few flight attendants, all wearing blue work clothes with white shirts or false collars showing, but their service attitude was very good.

It was also Dongsheng’s first time on a plane. He stared out the window, twisted around excitedly, and kept talking about his new discoveries.

"Wow! Mom, we are in the sky."

"Dad, look! We are in the clouds!"

“…”

Lu Yuanzheng leaned calmly in the aisle seat with his eyes closed, resting his mind. When Dongsheng called him, he just hummed twice perfunctorily and didn't even bother to open his eyes.

"Do you fly often?" Xu Wen asked.

Lu Yuanzheng nodded and shook his head, "It's my first time taking a civil aviation flight. I've taken a helicopter before."

I will sit when I need to parachute.

Lu Yuanzheng glanced at Xu and asked, "Have you ever been on a plane?"

Xu Wen nodded almost reflexively, but paused and shook his head halfway through.

Lu Yuanzheng raised his eyebrows and said, "You don't look like this is your first time on a plane."

It’s so calm, almost like taking a bus.

Xu Wen blinked and explained, "Actually I am very nervous, but I can pretend so you can't tell."

Lu Yuanzheng: "..."

I don’t really believe it.

Xu Wen looked at Lu Yuanzheng and said with emotion: "So the benefits of being a soldier are so good? Not only can you take a plane, but you can also travel for free!"

Lu Yuanzheng glanced around subconsciously, and the corner of his mouth twitched: "If you say that, others will misunderstand that I am abusing my power for personal gain, and they might even accuse me of being a rich man."

travel?

Is this a word that can be said?

Xu Wen admitted his mistake: "Treatment."

Lu Yuanzheng: "..."

"Not everyone can go to recuperation. Generally, after a large-scale war or a more brutal battle, some officers and soldiers will be sent to recuperation. These people will not only suffer physical injuries, but also psychological problems. They will stay in the war and become a little abnormal. Those with mild injuries can be cured by recuperation, but those with severe injuries may never recover. Especially those new recruits who have just joined the battlefield, they often vomit after killing the enemy for the first time. Even after the war is over, they will continue to have nightmares."

Xu Wen understood. It was actually PTSD, post-traumatic stress disorder.

No wonder the word therapy is used.

The establishment of such a place should be a combination of prevention and treatment.

After all, a beautiful and comfortable environment and the company of loved ones can make people feel much happier.

Mental illness is basically caused by some knot in the heart that cannot be untied. Once it is untied, you will be able to get out of the inner demon.

Xu Wen looked Lu Yuanzheng up and down and asked, "You will also be unable to come out of the war?"

He doesn't look like a person with mental problems at all.

Lu Yuanzheng shook his head, "This is my first time in a nursing home."

I am often qualified, but I refuse because I always feel that it is unnecessary to go to such a place.

"Why?"

Lu Yuanzheng glanced at her and said lightly, "Isn't this for the purpose of sending you to school?"

Xu Wen blushed, but didn't quite believe it.

"I'm not lying to you. I'm really worried about you going alone! If you don't go to the nursing home, I can't send you there."

He is a soldier, how can he be so free to go wherever he wants? He will not be granted leave for such a thing.

Xu Wen smiled, "So you mean you did all this for me?"

Lu Yuanzheng said nothing, as he felt that saying it was a bit like seeking credit, and saying no would be a bit offensive.

After a while, he squeezed out a sentence: "I'm just afraid that Dongsheng will miss you."

"What about you? Will you miss me?"

Lu Yuanzheng has dark skin, and his face is usually not red, except for the tips of his ears, which are more obviously red.

After Xu Wenwen finished speaking, he stared at the tip of Lu Yuanzheng's ear.

Sure enough, I saw the tips of his ears quickly turn red.

The journey is long and the journey is long. Xu Wen is such a gentle and quiet girl. She usually speaks in a soft voice and blushes easily. How come she sometimes speaks so boldly?

Lu Yuanzheng turned his head away without saying anything.

Dongsheng was annoyed and pushed him, "Mom asked you a question and you haven't answered it yet! You said it's impolite not to answer when someone asks you a question."

Lu Yuanzheng: "..."

How come you didn't remember so clearly what I taught you?

He raised his eyelids to glance at Xu Wen, then quickly lowered his eyes and hummed.

Xu Wen smiled with satisfaction.

Dongsheng didn't let him go: "What do you mean? Do you want to or not?"

Lu Yuanzheng knocked Dongsheng across Xu Wen and asked, "Why do you have so many problems as a kid?"

Xu Wen subconsciously wanted to block him, and leaned forward slightly, just enough to put himself on his arms.

Summer clothes are thin, and even two layers of clothing in some places cannot withstand such a distance.

Xu Wen suddenly hunched his chest and leaned back against the chair.

Lu Yuanzheng felt as if he was burned by fire and quickly withdrew his hand.

This time, both of them blushed at the same time and turned their heads away in opposite directions. No one was speechless for a moment.

Only Dongsheng is still chirping.

Lu Yuanzheng apologized: "I'm sorry."

Xu Wen was about to say it was okay, but changed his words: "This kind of intimacy is normal between husband and wife. No need to apologize, it's too distant."

Lu Yuanzheng: "..."
