After the nurse left, Zhao Yilu moved to the inside of the bed, patted the empty space beside him, and said to Fan Hua, who was still a little angry, with a smile: "Wife, you haven't slept for half the night, come up and rest for a while!"
Fan Hua rolled her eyes at him and said, "There's an empty bed next to me, why should I squeeze in with you?"
Zhao Yilu pointed at his legs and said, "It really hurts now. I'll hug you so you can feel better! Please, my wife!"
Fan Hua was helpless, she really couldn't stand this tough guy acting like a spoiled child and giving in to her, so what could she do? She had to just do what he wanted!
So he took off his shoes and lay down next to Zhao Yilu.
Zhao Yilu used the arm that was not receiving the IV to support Fan Hua's neck so that she could lie more comfortably.
Fan Hua's heart, which had been hanging for three months, finally settled down at this moment. She felt the warmth of Zhao Yilu's body, and soon Fan Hua fell into a deep sleep.
Zhao Yilu looked at Fan Hua's sleeping face, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Hugging his wife, he really felt that the pain of the wound was nothing.
Although I was injured during this mission, I now have time to spend with my wife. Thinking about it this way, the injury was worth it!
He gently adjusted his position, trying not to wake her with his movements, and closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The next day, Fan Hua didn't wake up until the sunlight outside shone through the window onto her body. Although the bed was a little crowded, she hadn't had such a good night's sleep in a long time.
Zhao Yilu had already woken up and was looking at her with a smile, but the IV tube in his hand had been pulled out at some point.
Fan Hua felt embarrassed when she thought that the nurse must have seen her sleeping on Zhao Yilu's bed when she came in to remove the needle.
Zhao Yilu saw through his thoughts and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I asked the nurse to leave as soon as she knocked on the door last night. I pulled out the needle myself. But, my dear, it's almost eight o'clock and the doctor will come in for rounds. If you don't get up, everyone will probably see you lying in bed in my arms!"
Upon hearing this, Fan Hua immediately sat up, put on her shoes and packed up.
Zhao Yilu said unnaturally: "Wife, I may have to trouble you to find a urinal for me. I need to relieve myself and I can't get out of bed yet."
Fan Hua then remembered that Zhao Yilu had not gone to the bathroom since last night. It was all because of her carelessness. She had no experience in taking care of patients. Not only did she fall asleep, but she didn't even think of this.
So he nodded immediately and said, "Wait for me, I'll go ask the nurse where I can find a urinal..."
After saying that, he quickly left the house.
When I returned to the house, there was a soldier in military uniform in the room.
The soldier immediately gave a standard military salute when he saw Fan Hua, "Hello sister-in-law, I am Zhou Zhengcai, the orderly sent by Commander Lu to take care of Captain Zhao. You can just call me Xiao Zhou from now on!"
Fan Hua nodded blankly and said, "Hello!"
She really didn't expect that the army would specially send an orderly to take care of Zhao Yilu.
When Xiao Zhou saw what Fan Hua was holding, he immediately stepped forward and took it. "Sister-in-law, let me do it! The commander said that the company commander has injured his leg and has difficulty moving. Sister-in-law is not strong enough, so let me do all the chores in the future. I must make sure that Company Commander Zhao's leg recovers smoothly. Sister-in-law has her own career and studies to take care of, so I can't let her work get delayed. You can only come and accompany Company Commander Zhao when you are free!"
"The leader is really considerate of his subordinates!" Fan Hua couldn't help but sigh.
"Of course not. It's mainly because Captain Zhao is a hero of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. He must be treated with special favor!"
Fan Hua didn't say anything more. Since someone came to help, she was of course happy to do so. So she said to Zhao Yilu, "Then let Xiao Zhou stay here with you. I'll go home to change clothes and make some bone soup for you. I'll bring Yuanyuan and Xiaoxiao to see you later. They miss their daddy so much."
Zhao Yilu nodded, his eyes full of tenderness and reluctance, but he still urged with a smile: "Okay, you go quickly, be careful on the road, go back and have a good rest, don't be too tired, I have Xiao Zhou to take care of it here, don't worry!"
Fan Hua responded, turned around and left the ward.
Xiao Zhou watched Zhao Yilu's eyes full of affection and sighed in his heart: I have heard that Captain Zhao, the king of soldiers, is usually vigorous and serious in the army, but I didn't expect that he is such a gentle and considerate person in private.
He couldn't help but respect Fan Hua even more for being able to conquer the King of Soldiers.
…
After leaving the hospital, Fan Hua first went to the supply and marketing cooperative to get her meat coupons and bought some spare ribs, then went to buy some fruit before going home.
Aunt Chu saw Fan Hua coming back and immediately asked with concern: "How is it, is Captain Zhao seriously injured?"
"I was shot in the leg and couldn't walk these days, but fortunately I can recover!" Fan Hua replied with a smile.
When Aunt Chu saw that Fan Hua was still smiling, she knew that it was probably not serious, so she felt relieved.
"It's good that he's okay. This is a good opportunity for Captain Zhao to take a good rest while he recovers from his injuries. He must be very tired from training all year round!"
Fan Hua also nodded, "Yeah, I thought so too. Now I feel very good about the result!"
After saying that, Fan Hua went to the kitchen to stew the pork ribs.
Time passed quickly, and at noon Fan Hua returned to the hospital with her two children and stewed bone soup.
As soon as Yuanyuan and Xiaoxiao entered the room, they ran to Zhao Yilu's bed with their short legs, vying to shout "Daddy, Daddy..."
Zhao Yilu listened to the cries of the two children and immediately grinned with satisfaction. He also ordered Xiao Zhou, "Quick, help carry the children to the bed."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhou immediately picked up the two children and sat on the bed, while he carefully protected Zhao Yilu's injured leg, fearing that the two children would accidentally touch it.
Fan Hua watched this scene silently from the side and curled the corners of her mouth in satisfaction. This Xiao Zhou is really a careful person.
On the bed, Zhao Yilu was laughing and teasing the two children. Although the two children could not speak complete sentences yet, they were babbling something to Zhao Yilu. The relationship between the father and his two children was incredibly warm.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the ward, and Chief Lu and several other men who looked like officers walked in.
The leader saw Zhao Yilu playing with the children on the bed and couldn't help but tease, "No wonder you fought so hard on the battlefield and wanted to end the war immediately. It turns out that you were thinking about your wife and children!"
When Zhao Yilu saw the person coming, he quickly signaled Xiao Zhou to take the child down, then he struggled to sit up straight and saluted.
The leading officer waved his hand and said, "Stay, we are here to check on your injuries. We also have something else to tell you. In view of your many meritorious deeds on the front line this time, your use of strategy successfully allowed our army to capture the enemy leader, severely dampened the enemy's arrogance, and your heroic injuries in combat, the higher-ups have decided to promote you to the position of deputy commander of the special operations zone and award you the special honor medal. The awarding ceremony will be held after your injuries have healed."
