I don't know how long it took, Hou Zhengdong woke up slowly, opened his eyes and saw that the sun shone in through the curtains, and the morning breeze gently raised the curtains, although it was just a rag, it did play the role of a curtain.

Hou Zhengdong stood up, felt some numbness in his legs, got out of bed and moved, did two hundred push-ups, and then practiced military body boxing, and sweat beads suddenly appeared from his forehead.

Although the wound on his left shoulder was a little painful during the exercise, Hou Zhengdong still insisted on finishing the exercise, and then took off the camouflage vest on his body, uncovered the wound on his left chest and took a look, a trace of blood was slowly oozing out of the wound.

After Hou Zhengdong washed up, he took medicine on the wound, took the medicine prescribed by the hospital and went out, and asked Zhang Yu to take out 5,000 yuan yesterday, but only used more than 1,000 yuan, and he had to save the rest of the money into the card, and by the way, he had to apply for a local mobile phone card.

Of course, the most important task is to visit He Qian's mother in the hospital today, I haven't seen her for a long time, and I don't know how her condition is.

Hou Zhengdong had breakfast, went to the bank and deposited the remaining 3,000 yuan in the bank, leaving a few hundred yuan on his body, and hurried to the mobile business hall to apply for Zhang Qixi's local mobile phone card, and went to the supermarket to buy some nutritional products and rushed to the People's Hospital.

Mother He was very happy to see Hou Zhengdong, but just blamed him for not spending money to buy so many gifts, and moreover, she strongly asked to be discharged from the hospital and go home to recuperate, her body has recovered a lot, Hou Zhengdong moved to find the attending doctor to understand He's mother's condition in detail, and the doctor told He Zhengdong that there is no cure for diabetes at present, but a variety of treatment methods can control diabetes Yunyun.

Of course, the doctor also advised He's mother to go home to recuperate, as long as she controlled her diet well, her body could recover quickly.

"Brother Hou, come with me."

He Zhengdong walked out of the doctor's office, and He Qian beckoned to him on the side.

The two walked to the side of the hospital corridor, and He Qian's eyes were slightly red and swollen, "Brother Hou, my mother may know." ”

"Your mother knows, what does she know?" Hou Zhengdong was stunned when he heard this, and then he understood that He Qian was saying that her mother already knew about the sacrifice of her brother He Gou.

After all, paper can't contain fire.

"Ah, how would she know?"

Hou Zhengdong was stunned, he had repeatedly told He Qian not to mention her brother to her mother, could it be that this girl accidentally leaked out?

"Brother Hou, I'm sorry, I don't want to do this either, but when I think of never seeing my brother again, my heart feels uncomfortable." He Qian lowered her head and choked up, her shoulders shook violently, "My mother may have seen that something is wrong with me, a few days ago, she said that she was going to be discharged from the hospital and go home, saying that she would go back to choose a feng shui treasure for my brother......"

As she spoke, He Qian began to cry again.

"He Qian, cry if you want to, it's hard for you." Hou Zhengdong walked over and patted He Qian's shoulder gently, he knew that He Qian's heart was very painful, and he could see that the relationship between the two brothers and sisters was very deep, and now He Gou sacrificed her, and she didn't even dare to make the act of sending condolences too obviously, which really made her very painful.

After all, she's just a girl in high school.

He Qian prostrate in Hou Zhengdong's arms and vented happily, and after the grief that had accumulated in her heart was vented, her feelings quickly stabilized and wiped away her tears, "Brother Hou, I have already inquired with the doctor, and the doctor also said that diabetes can go home to recuperate, what do you say?" ”

"Okay, let's go through the discharge procedures for our mother."

Hou Zhengdong nodded, since the paper can't contain the fire, it is better to simply let He's mother know the truth, at least her son sacrificed for the country, and there is no shame for her as a mother.

The two returned to the ward, Mother He leaned on the bed alone, the expression on her face was very sad, and when she saw Hou Zhengdong and the two coming in, she squeezed out a smile on her face and nodded, "Xiao Hou, the doctor told you, my illness is fine, just go home and raise it, it's a waste of money to live here." ”

Her voice paused, and her eyes stared at Hou Zhengdong tightly, "Xiao Hou, tell me honestly, did my dog sacrifice?" ”

Hou Zhengdong's heart was shocked when he heard this, he opened his mouth, and wanted to deny her words, but finally nodded weakly, Mother He is a very shrewd rural woman, and she should have seen something abnormal.

Even if the troops care about the soldiers, the leaders will not be as enthusiastic as themselves, after all, there are many soldiers in the army whose family conditions are not good.

"Auntie, I'm sorry, the dog died to save me."

Hou Zhengdong walked to the hospital bed and knelt down with his knees weak, "In the future, I will be your son." ”

The expression on He's mother's face suddenly stiffened, and she opened her mouth wide in astonishment, and big tears slid down her cheeks, He Qian was stunned, and immediately rushed over and hugged her mother tightly, "Mom, Mom......"

"I know, I know, my dog won't disgrace his mother, you're a good boy......" Mother He muttered, her eyes sad and sad.

He Qian hugged her mother tightly and cried loudly......

For a long time, for a long time, the room slowly fell silent.

"All right, girl, don't cry, let's go home, go back and find a good place for your brother, who used to like to sleep under that big tree the most."

Mother He gently rubbed He Qian's head, and her eyes turned to Hou Zhengdong, "Xiao Hou, I know that you are a good cadre and a good leader, I can't blame you when the dog dies, this qiē is all life, it is the life of my dog, you are also raised by your parents, I can't ...... you"

"Okay, Xiaohou, you get up, please go and help me go through the discharge procedures, I'm going to be discharged, the dog is dead, let's do my best to let him go to the ground."

Hou Zhengdong was stunned for a moment, looking at Mother He, who was sad but very calm, and his heart was sour.

Mother He's discharge procedures were quickly completed, Hou Zhengdong went outside to find a taxi to come over, and served Mother He to get into the car, Hou Zhengdong was about to get in the car, but Mother He asked He Qian to close the car door, "Xiao Hou, thank you for taking care of our mother and daughter these days." ”

"Also, don't feel any guilt in your heart, this is the life of a dog, it is a natural thing to be a soldier to fight, and the dog did not become a deserter on the battlefield and did not embarrass our old He family!"

"Xiaohou, thank you, but this is our He family's business, so I won't worry about you, and besides, it has already cost you a lot of money."

Hou Zhengdong was stunned and was about to speak, but the taxi started and disappeared.
