Chapter 144
Xu Di was busy stewing chicken soup in the cafeteria. In Zhang Chaoyang's ward, the leaders had already left, leaving only Kong Wenming.
"Chaoyang, you have performed a great service again this time. When the leadership is done, your title of deputy regiment commander will be removed."
"Let's not talk about this for now. What about the others? How are they doing?"
As soon as Zhang Chaoyang woke up, he wanted to know what happened to the other people, but he couldn't let Xu Di ask.
“Others were also injured to varying degrees, but their lives were saved.
Lao Hei lost an arm and will change his career after being discharged from the hospital. Ding Hui injured his spleen and had to transfer to a civilian position. Fang Yuanhang and Shitou had a broken leg and a broken arm. ”
After hearing this, Zhang Chaoyang felt sad, but also glad that everyone was still there.
"Have their family members come?"
"Lao Hei's family is in the Northeast, which is too far away, so he didn't ask anyone to notify them. Ding Hui's mother came over, and Fang Yuanhang's sister came over, but Shitou didn't notify his family."
Kong Wenming was very clear about these situations, as he was responsible for most of the contacts.
“Every time I went on a mission and wrote a suicide note, I planned on not coming back.
This time it was pretty good, they all came back. ”
The reason why Zhang Chaoyang can become the deputy head of the group at this age is that he has gone on missions time and time again, and has been on the brink of life and death time and time again.
"Yes, you have done a great job this time. Many of our brothers died in that place."
Kong Wenming patted Zhang Chaoyang on the shoulder. It was not easy. He could not compare with Chaoyang's military qualities.
Scars all over the body are medals.
Kong Wenming still had a lot of things to say, so he said everything he needed to say. He told Zhang Chaoyang to recover from his injuries and then left.
Xu Di asked Master Zhu to help watch the fire. She wanted to go back to see Zhang Chaoyang. She didn't know whether his comrades and leaders had left or not, and whether she needed to buy some vegetables to have a meal in the evening.
"Chaoyang, are your leaders and comrades gone?"
"Let's go back. We still have things to do in the army. Have you finished shopping?"
"Well, I was lucky. I bought a big rooster, weighing about 7 or 8 kilograms.
Master Zhu from the cafeteria took half of it and said he would return the meat on the bone to me tomorrow morning. Let’s make bone soup tomorrow and take turns eating it.
If you want to go to the bathroom, there is a basin under the bed. The doctor said that you have to wear the catheter for two days, and you cannot get out of bed. You have to eat, drink, defecate and urinate in bed.
The doctor reminded me that the wound on my stomach had more than ten stitches and I must not let it pop open. ”
As Xu Di kept talking, Zhang Chaoyang felt much better.
"I haven't eaten for two days and I don't want to go to the bathroom.
Have you called home? Is the child crying? ”
Zhang Chaoyang is worried about his daughter. Without her mother at home, who knows what she's going to cry like.
"I'll go call in a minute. There were too many people lining up to make calls at the post office just now. I was in a hurry to come back and make chicken soup. I'll be there in a minute."
Xu Di put the rice, cornmeal and dried mushrooms he had bought away, gave Zhang Chaoyang some water, and prepared to make a phone call.
When Xu Di arrived at the post office, there were not many people there.
After waiting for a while, it was her turn.
In the 1970s, very few families had telephones, and most of them were only available in work units or production teams.
Phone bills are expensive, and generally, no one calls unless there is an emergency.
The phone was connected and grandma's voice came through.
"Grandma, I'm Xiaodi. Are you guys okay at home? Is Nuannuan still crying?"
"Xiao Di, everything is fine at home. Nuan Nuan is fine during the day, but she is a little unhappy at night and wants to look for her mother.
These two days, Xiaojun and Xuanhe have been playing with her, and she has gotten much better.
How is Chaoyang? When can he be discharged from the hospital? ”
What Grandma Qian didn’t say was that Nuannuan had a fever last night. This was the first time the child had been sick since birth, and she was scared.
I went to the hospital and the doctor took a look and found that my throat was a little red. I listened with a stethoscope and found that there was nothing wrong with the lungs or the trachea, just a little bit of heat.
Grandma Qian took Nuannuan to see a familiar old Chinese doctor, who gave the child a scraping treatment and prescribed some Chinese herbal medicine for soaking in water.
The temperature is normal today, but still a little wilful.
Grandma Qian didn't dare tell Xu Di about this, for fear that she would get anxious and angry. Chaoyang was injured and Xiaodi was very tired.
When Xu Di heard that Nuannuan was looking for her mother, he felt worried, mainly because the child was too young, not even one year old.
“Grandma, Chaoyang is completely out of danger.
This time the injuries were more serious, with wounds on the chest and stomach. The doctor said that if you take good care of yourself, you'll be fine. ”
Grandma Qian knew that they were really out of danger, which was why Xiaodi described it in such detail.
"Okay, you and Chaoyang are fine over there, don't worry about us. Xiaojun is here, and he's been a great help."
Knowing that nothing was wrong at home, Xu Di felt relieved.
At least, I didn’t hear Nuannuan’s crying.
After hanging up the phone, paying the money, Xu Di returned to the hospital.
In Beijing, Grandma Qian put down the phone and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Grandma Qian, is this my second sister calling? How is my second brother-in-law? When will he be discharged from the hospital?"
Xu Jun walked out of the room holding Nuannuan. Although the child's fever had subsided, she was still listless. She lay on Xu Jun's shoulder with tears in her eyes.
"Your second brother-in-law is really out of danger, but his injuries are quite serious. It will take at least a month for him to be discharged from the hospital."
Xu Jun calculated that he was not sure whether he could come back for the New Year.
"Mom, mom, woo woo..."
Nuannuan hugged her uncle's neck, muttering "Mom" and crying.
The child who didn't cry much before has been crying too much recently. From crying loudly to sobbing now, it is really heartbreaking to hear.
"Nuannuan, mom will be back in a few days. She went to see dad. Dad is in the hospital. Does the hospital know? There were many uncles and aunts wearing white clothes at the place we went yesterday. Do you remember?"
Xu Jun sat on the sofa, held Nuannuan in his arms, and spoke to her softly.
"Yeah, an injection."
Nuannuan saw a doctor giving an injection to a child yesterday, and the child cried so hard.
"Yes, Dad is sick and needs an injection. When he is well, Mom and Dad will be back.
These days, Nuannuan plays with her uncle. Let’s wait for mom and dad to come back together, okay? ”
"Well, here comes mom."
"Yes, Mom is back."
I don’t know if she understood what her uncle said or knew that her mother wouldn’t come back even if she cried, but Nuannuan’s crying became softer. She rubbed her face on her uncle’s clothes, and her tears and snot got on Xu Jun’s clothes.
Xu Jun held Nuannuan, went to the bathroom, washed a towel, and wiped her face.
"Nuan Nuan is so amazing. You don't cry anymore. Uncle will take you to fold airplanes, okay? Fold a few more and then you can compete with Brother Xuan He to see whose airplane flies the farthest, okay?"
"Okay, fly high."
"Yeah, fly high."
Xu Jun breathed a sigh of relief. Nuannuan finally stopped crying and they could talk.
When Xu Di didn't know, Nuannuan got sick for the first time, and her chubby little face became thinner.
Xu Di was looking at the chicken soup in the hospital cafeteria, which already smelled delicious.
She thought that she would make different kinds of delicious food for Zhang Chaoyang every day so that he would recover quickly.
As long as Zhang Chaoyang can be discharged from the hospital, she can go home and hug her daughter.
Thinking of the little child crying for his mother, her heart was filled with sorrow and worry, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.
