Chapter 509 I Knew It Would Be Like This
This really can't be blamed on Song Mo.
However, Song Mo believed that since he came to the battlefield to carry out the mission, he had to protect his young wife's relatives.
Unexpectedly, while he was fighting bloody battles at the front, the bastard was making his last struggle and bombarding the command center.
At the critical moment, my uncle heard the wrong sound of the artillery and rushed forward to protect my grandfather, but he was hit by shrapnel and died heroically.
My grandfather's forearm was also blown off by shrapnel.
The old man endured the pain and sorrow and continued to command the battle, defeating all the enemies and finally achieving a decisive victory.
Song Mo thought of this quickly and found that the wounded and medical staff were boarding the bus next to them.
He said apologetically: "Wife, Grandpa and I can't go home yet. We have to go to the hospital for a physical examination."
Chen Kexin didn't know what to say, she couldn't bear to leave her grandfather and Song Mo.
He said decisively: "I drove here, take my car, and let's go to the hospital together."
"good!"
Chen Kexin helped the old man sit in the passenger seat. The old man looked lonely, holding a box wrapped in white cloth in his arms.
Song Mo sat in the back seat. The Chen couple looked at their son-in-law's legs with complicated eyes. They wanted to ask something but didn't dare to.
Song Mo knew the meaning behind the looks his parents-in-law gave him, so he took the initiative to say, "Mom and Dad, my leg is just injured. The doctor said I'll be able to move freely after more than half a month of rest."
The Chen couple immediately breathed a sigh of relief. If Song Mo became disabled, they didn’t know what to do?
Should we let our eldest daughter marry a disabled man?
Thinking of Song Mo's kindness to the Chen family, and the fact that he was injured defending the country, she couldn't bring herself to break off the engagement.
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Song is a good kid, unlike me who is slow to react and hurt Qingshan..."
The old man sitting in the passenger seat finally spoke in a heavy voice, with turbid tears falling in large drops.
Song Mo comforted him, "Grandpa, it's not your fault. You were directing the battle at the time and didn't hear the sound of the stray bullet breaking through the air."
Chen Kexin also advised: "Grandpa, don't be sad. If Uncle-in-law knew that you were sad, he would also feel uneasy. From now on, my brother and sister and I will be your assistants."
These words touched the old man's heart. He wiped his tears carelessly, hugged the wooden box tightly, and murmured to himself: "Qingshan, you have to be well..."
Chen Kexin adjusted her mood, started the car, and followed the van in front to the hospital.
After arriving at the hospital and undergoing examination, the old man and Song Mo were both kept in the hospital.
In order to take care of both of them more conveniently, the old man and Song Mo were arranged in the same ward.
Chen Kexin saw her grandfather’s wound and found that everything below the little arm was gone.
I quickly thought, how painful it must be for grandpa to be injured like this!
But the old man still insisted on commanding the battle. How much perseverance does this require?
After seeing off the friends and leaders who came to visit grandpa.
She comforted him gently, "Grandpa, when your injury is healed, we can make a prosthesis."
The old man said nonchalantly: "Making prosthetic limbs is just for show. Forget it. I am so old, who cares about my appearance? There is no need to cause trouble to the organization. Song Mo has made great contributions this time, and he will definitely be promoted after graduating from the military academy."
Song Mo hurriedly said: "Grandpa, you have made great contributions. You should be promoted this time."
Chen Kexin was shocked. Her grandfather’s position was not low and it was not easy to get promoted. Wouldn’t it be difficult to move up further?
She didn't dare think about it anymore.
The old man continued nonchalantly, "I've come to terms with it. I'll retire when my injury heals. I can't occupy a high position without a hand and be talked about by others. My children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. I'll go and accompany Qingshan when I have nothing to do."
Chen Kexin understood that her grandfather had let it go. He had dedicated his whole life to society and didn’t want to be told what to do. He wanted to retire and enjoy his old age.
She comforted him, "Grandpa, it's good for you to retire and take good care of yourself at home. By the way, my grandmother and uncle came to see me a few days ago..."
After hearing this, the old man was shocked. He didn't expect that his daughter-in-law came from a noble family. He thought that if the idiots in the Wen family knew about this, they would definitely regret it.
He said apologetically, "I'm sorry I wasn't there when my mother-in-law came. I'll go back to see her when I recover from my injury."
Wang Qiaolian said hurriedly: "Dad, we are all relatives, so don't be polite. You must be hungry. I will go back and make some meat porridge for you."
"Okay, I'm really hungry after sitting on the plane for several hours."
Wang Qiaolian said to her eldest daughter, "Kexin, you take care of them in the ward, and ask your father to drive me back."
"Okay!" Chen Kexin handed the car keys to her father.
The noisy ward soon became quiet. Chen Kexin said to the two, "If you are tired, take a nap and rest. My mother will wake you up when she brings you food."
"Okay, I'm going to sleep first!"
The old man carefully placed the white cloth box on the bedside table and lay down.
Chen Kexin helped cover grandpa with the quilt.
Then, he sat in front of Song Mo's bed and said, "Would you like to take a nap too?"
Song Mo couldn't help but reach out and hold his young wife's cold little hand.
The hands were still soft, but they were cold and filled with worry for himself.
He whispered in a comforting tone, "I'm fine. The bullet only lodged in my calf and has been removed."
Chen Kexin asked seriously: "Have you taken the medicine I prepared for you?"
Song Mo said apologetically: "My injury is not serious, I gave it to a few seriously injured comrades."
Knowing this would happen, Chen Kexin remembered to prepare a few extra life-saving pills for him, but she didn't expect that this man had given them away.
She immediately took out a porcelain bottle from her pocket, actually from the space, and took out a Chinese medicine pill from it, handed it over, and said fiercely: "Open your mouth and eat it quickly."
Song Mo felt guilty and ate obediently.
Chen Kexin quickly thought of something, turned around to look at her grandfather, and found that the old man had closed his eyes.
I murmured to myself that I would ask my grandfather when he woke up, and I guess all his medicine had been given away.
She didn't notice at all that the old man's eyelashes trembled slightly.
The old man's arm wound was very painful, and although he wanted to sleep, he couldn't.
I didn’t want to disturb the two younger generations’ conversation, so I could only pretend to be asleep.
Thinking that the life-saving pills given to him by his eldest granddaughter had been distributed to his seriously injured subordinates, he dared not open his eyes, let alone look at his eldest granddaughter's disappointed face.
More than half an hour later, anxious footsteps were heard from outside the corridor, and then someone gently pushed open the door.
Chen Kexin saw that it was her mother who pushed the door open and walked out.
He quickly stood up and walked over, taking the basket wrapped in a small quilt from his mother's hand.
"Thank you for your hard work, mom!"
"Silly child, this is what a mother should do. Let them have a bowl of meat porridge quickly. I wonder if it's cold."
Chen Kexin opened the basket and found a clay pot inside. Next to the pot were two simple IV bottles filled with hot water for hospital IV drips, stuffed with cotton.
There were also two clean empty bowls, chopsticks and a spoon next to it.
She touched the jar and felt it was warm, and said with relief, "It's not cold!"
While serving the porridge, he asked, "Where's my dad?"
Wang Qiaolian whispered, "He and your grandmother are waiting in the corridor outside the door. They will come in after your grandfather finishes his meal."
Chen Jianguo, who had been pretending to be asleep, quickly turned over and sat up, saying apologetically, "Ke Xin's mother, please invite my mother-in-law in..."
