"I saw you guys coming out of the Revolutionary Committee this morning. Is there something going on?" Tang Zhenye was a reconnaissance soldier and had first-rate observation skills.
When the two men came out in the morning, their frustrated expressions did not escape his sharp eyes.
These days, anything that has to do with the Revolutionary Committee is never a good thing, so Tang Zhenye asked this question.
Gu Qinghuan glanced at Xu Huaian, unsure whether he should say it. After all, it was not a good thing.
Xu Huaian did not avoid the question, lowered his voice, and briefly mentioned a few things about Zhong Luoxi, and all he said was on Zhong Luoxi's side.
Tang Zhenye hesitated for a while and said nothing. He never liked to follow the crowd, let alone listen to one side of the story. Even if it was what Xu Huaian said, he would not believe it immediately. After all, he had no right to speak without investigation.
Just as they were waiting, the dishes arrived and Gu Qinghuan quickly invited everyone to eat.
The matter was never mentioned again.
In addition to greeting each other, the old leader also asked about Xu Huaian's recovery.
He also learned today that the son of an old comrade-in-arms of his also suffered from a mental illness similar to Huai'an after the war.
In just half a year, he changed beyond all recognition. He needed his family to control him so that he would not hurt anyone or go berserk. Sometimes he even did not recognize his own family members.
As far as he knew, Xu Huaian's illness had probably lasted for a longer time, but he looked no different from a normal person.
So he specifically asked Xu Huaian about his treatment methods, hoping to help his old comrade and the poor child.
In fact, there have been signs of this situation in the military for a long time, but they are all individual cases and cannot be generalized.
Most soldiers are basically forced to retire after they have mental problems. Of course, the army will provide certain financial care.
What happened next is unknown.
Xu Huaian is the only case he knows of who is actively cooperating with the treatment and has achieved significant results.
Xu Huaian told the old leader the entire development trajectory of his illness. As we are all in the same boat, I hope it will be helpful to others!
The reason why his illness got better so quickly was, firstly, thanks to Gu Qinghuan's spiritual spring water and medicine, and secondly, thanks to her careful care and family warmth.
But they certainly couldn't tell the old leader the truth. There was nothing they could do about it. People were selfish, and Gu Qinghuan couldn't gamble with human nature.
What if he gave Gu Qinghuan medicine or spiritual spring water, and someone discovered the secret inside, and cut him into slices for research?
When the old leader learned that he had been tied to the bed for a whole year, unable to take care of himself, and almost gave up his life, his eyes suddenly became red and his cloudy eyes were filled with tears.
"Huaian, you've suffered. I'm sorry I didn't understand your situation."
Xu Huaian said it lightly, but the real situation was even more tragic than what he said. It's just that he has never liked to complain, so he just briefly described his experience.
The focus of the description is on Gu Qinghuan's treatment of himself.
"Old chief, you take care of everything. My affairs are just trivial matters." As time passed, he had forgotten those tormenting and painful nights and only remembered the present happiness.
The old leader looked at Gu Qinghuan for the first time, stood up and gave her a serious military salute.
"What are you doing? You can't do that. You can't do that."
Gu Qinghuan was so frightened that he didn't know where to put his feet. What was going on? He wanted to return the military salute, but he was afraid that what he did would be out of place and even more embarrassing, so he could only stand there at a loss.
Fortunately, it was only for a moment.
"Comrade Gu, as Huai'an's old leader, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you. Thank you for choosing him and accompanying him to take care of him when he needed you most.
Thank you for your hard work!
Although Huai'an only said a few words, it is not difficult to imagine how difficult and hard it was for you to choose Huai'an under such circumstances, to support your small family, and to take good care of him.
The Chairman said that women hold up half the sky. Comrade, you have truly shown me the tenacity and greatness of women comrades.
The driver Xiao Liu beside him also quietly wiped away his tears.
As expected of a leader, Gu Qinghuan was almost moved by himself after just a few words.
It was all due to coincidence. If she hadn't sold herself to the Xu family for a piece of money, she wouldn't have faced such a mess right after she came here. But fortunately, everything is fine now.
"Thank you for the compliment, old commander. We are just a small microcosm of the thousands of veterans' families and are not worth mentioning.
I have admired soldiers since I was a child. When I learned about Huai'an's situation, I was willing to marry him and take care of him without any hesitation.
From the day I married him, I told myself that I would protect the military medals he earned through his illness!
I don't think it's hard to do something for him." When you go out, you have to provide your own identity, Gu Qinghuan said without blushing.
Gu Qinghuan's words immediately made Tang Zhenye and Xiao Liu Dongli even more respectful. This young comrade has a high level of awareness!
If all military wives have her realization, the military's rear will be stable.
Xu Huaian looked at the shining Gu Qinghuan and felt warm inside. She was his light!
From the day she appeared, his world began to become bright.
After that, several people ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was better than before.
Gu Qinghuan was very reserved before, but now he is open to chatting. During the conversation, he emphasized his own physical therapy, hoping to provide as much hope as possible to others.
The so-called physical therapy is actually about companionship and attentive care, understanding and respecting patients.
When the disease is not under control of medication, the care and companionship of family members becomes particularly important.
After listening to this, the old leader felt that it made a lot of sense.
I learned that Xu Huai'an is now receiving treatment in Beijing City Hospital, so I plan to recommend a physical doctor to my old friend. I hope it will be helpful to them!
After the meal, Xu Huaian went to settle the bill and was told that the old leader had already settled it.
"It's my treat today, don't refuse.
Huai'an, seeing that you are doing well now, I will let you go. If your illness can really be cured, I hope you can consider coming back. I have always felt that you are a natural soldier.
No matter how long it takes, as long as I, Tang Zhenye, am here, there will always be a place for you. This promise will always be valid."
Xu Huaian's eyes were red with emotion. A man doesn't shed tears easily, but he just doesn't shed tears on the injured part.
The old leader was very kind to him and made exceptions for him many times. He will never forget this kindness until his death.
The final farewell of the old couple ended with a military salute.
Xu Huaian and Gu Qinghuan did not take a car, but walked back. The streets at night had a slightly tipsy smell.
"The old commander is one of the few people who gives me warmth. I joined the army early, and young people are sometimes stubborn and like to stand out. During a military competition, I almost had a fight with my superior and ruined my career. It was the old commander who suddenly appeared and resolved the conflict with a few words.
Later, he thought I was a promising talent and found a master for me, who helped me a lot..." Xu Huai'an's voice was very gentle. Gu Qinghuan was attracted by his story and didn't even know when the two of them got together.
When 꿯ying came over and tried to get rid of him, Xu Huai'an held him even tighter.
Maybe it was because the night made people's inner defenses weaken, or maybe after learning about the other person's story, he couldn't bear to refuse. In any case, Gu Qinghuan didn't struggle anymore, and the two of them walked home hand in hand.
