"Of course not! If it is 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 much. Since someone was here to help, she was of course happy to help. So she said to Zhao Yilu, "Then let Xiao Zhou stay here with you. I'll go to the Mi family's house 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 nodded all the way, his eyes full of tenderness and reluctance, but he still smiled and urged her: "Okay, you go quickly, be careful on the road, and you go and have a good rest, don't be too tired, I have Xiao Zhou to take care of me here, don't worry!"
Fan Hua responded, turned around and left the ward.
Xiao Zhou saw the affection in Zhao's eyes all the way and thought to himself: I've 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 returning home.
When Aunt Chu saw Fan Hua coming, she immediately asked her with concern: "What happened? Is Captain Zhao seriously injured?"
"I was shot in the leg and couldn't walk these few days, but fortunately I can recover!" Fan Hua smiled.
Aunt Chu knew Fan Hua wasn't seriously injured when she saw her smile, so she felt relieved. "It's good that she's alright. This is a great opportunity for Captain Zhao to rest up while he recovers. He must be exhausted from the non-stop 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 pork ribs.
Time passed quickly, and at noon, Fan Hua brought her two children and some bone soup to the hospital. As soon as Yuanyuan and Xiaoxiao entered the room, they ran to Zhao Yilu's bedside, shouting "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 quite attentive.
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 three of them were so warm and cozy.
At this moment, there was a knock on the ward door, and Chief Lu and several other men who looked like officers walked in.
The leader saw Zhao Yilu playing with the children in bed and couldn't help but tease him, "No wonder you fought so hard on the battlefield, wishing it would end immediately. You kid, it turns out you were just thinking about your wife and children!"
When Zhao Yilu saw the person coming, he quickly signaled Xiao Zhou to take the child down, then struggled to sit up straight and salute.
The leading officer waved his hand and said, "We're here to check on your injuries, and we have something else to inform you. In light of your numerous meritorious service on the front lines, your strategic planning and successful capture of the enemy leader, which severely dampened their morale, and your heroic wounding in action, we've decided to promote you, skipping your rank, to deputy regimental commander of the Special Operations Zone and awarding you the Special Class Medal of Honor. The awarding ceremony will be held after you recover from your injuries."
