Su Xiaoxiao came to the hospital on the third day after Tamura's surgery.

Strictly speaking, Tamura's injuries were not fatal, several pieces of shrapnel hit him in the back and legs, and the surgery, combined with blood loss on the road, left Tamura in urgent need of a blood transfusion. The hospital is not large, there is only a small amount of plasma in normal times, and Tamura's blood type is a rare HR type, so it happens that the blood bank of the division hospital and several local hospitals is also short of blood, so it can only rely on on-site blood collection.

When the police company got the news, it was the middle of the night, and the company commander blew the whistle for an emergency assembly. More than 100 people from the police company ran to the hospital, and after a blood test, only Liu Dong's blood type was suitable. The operation is ongoing, and Tamura is already in a coma due to excessive blood loss.

Liu Dong had two blood draws, the first time was 400 milliliters and the second time was 200 milliliters. Tamura finally woke up after transfusing Liu Dong's 600 milliliters of blood.

Tamura's injury alarmed Tian Liaoshen and Yang Peipei. The morning after the operation, the two showed up at Tamura's hospital bed. Tamura's body was wrapped in gauze, and he was lying there for infusion, and the replenishment of a large amount of blood made his face slowly have some blood.

He grinned at the sight of his father and mother walking in.

Yang Peipei stepped forward quickly, grabbed Tamura's hand, and tears flowed down. She looked here, touched there, and kept asking: Son, does it hurt?

Seeing Yang Peipei's nervous appearance, Tian Liaoshen said lightly: You are also a doctor, and you haven't seen the wounded, don't make a fuss.

Yang Peipei controlled her emotions and hid aside to wipe her eyes.

Tamura looked at his mother and comforted him softly: Mom, I'm fine, just a little hurt.

After listening to Tamura's words, Tian Liao Shen smiled at his son and said, "Son, okay!" You're like me at this point. When I was wounded, I never complained of pain, a soldier, I should look like a soldier, and the profession of a soldier is to shed blood and sacrifice.

Tian Liaoshen said this, half of it was for Tamura, and half for Yang Peipei. Crying in front of his son, he always looks a little indecent, and more importantly, he doesn't fit his identity.

Yang Peipei really stopped crying, she sat in front of her son's bed, took Tamura's hand, and looked at it lovingly.

Tian Liaoshen paced two steps in the ward with his hands behind his back before asking: Son, I heard that you are still a female militiaman?

Tamura nodded and said: The hand ** was not thrown out, it was hung on her braid. I was responsible for this and didn't remind her beforehand.

Tian Liaoshen bent down and stared at his son's face: Good son, you are like a real soldier now, and when you are injured, you must take the initiative to take responsibility for your superiors. Merit is merit, and transgression is excess.

Yang Peipei on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and Okita Liaoshen said: The child's injury is not healed, don't say those responsible words, you can't say something nice.

Tian Liao Shen said: Don't forget, our son is now a warrior.

Yang Peipei interrupted Tian Liaoshen's words: Tamura, I heard that it was a comrade-in-arms named Liu Dong who gave you a blood transfusion?

Tamura nodded and told his mother: When we were in the recruit company, we were in the same squad.

Tian Liaoshen remembered something and asked: Is it the one who stood at the end of the line when he was in line?

Tamura looked at his father excitedly: Yes! Dad, how do you know so clearly?

Tian Liaoshen nodded with concern and said: It was introduced by your leader.

Yang Peipei continued: "Listen to the doctor, if he hadn't given you so much blood, you would have been in danger. There are more than 100 of you, but only he gave you a blood transfusion, it seems that you are really destined. In the future, you must not forget that they saved your life.

Tamura nodded obediently.

Tian Liaoshen did not stay in the hospital for much that time, and seeing that Tamura's injuries had stabilized, he left in the afternoon. There are still many things in the military organs waiting for him to deal with. Yang Peipei was worried about her son and stayed.

Yang Peipei appeared in the police company the next day, and she wanted to see her son's life-saving benefactor Liu Dong. Accompanied by the company commander and instructor, they came to Liu Dong's dormitory. She bought some nutritional products before she came, and when they came in, Liu Dong was resting on the bed, because of blood donation, the company gave Liu Dong a three-day vacation.

Seeing the company commander and them coming in, Liu Dong sat up, and Yang Peipei stepped forward quickly and supported him: Lie down, Auntie will come to see you.

Company commander introduction: This is Tamura's mother, Director Yang of the outpatient department of the military organ.

Liu Dong stood up and saluted Yang Peipei: Good chief.

Yang Peipei gently pressed Liu Dong's shoulder with her hand: Child, sit down.

Liu Dong sat on the edge of the bed, and Yang Peipei also sat beside him, and said gratefully: You saved Tamura, thanks to you, Auntie thank you so much.

Liu Dong lowered his head embarrassedly and said humbly: This is what I should do. Someone else, if they have the right blood type, will do the same.

The company commander also interjected on the side: It's strange, there are more than 100 people in the company, why are they the only ones with HR blood type?

Yang Peipei smiled, she looked at Liu Dong beside her, and said lovingly: This is your fate, you will help each other and make progress together in the future.

Seeing Liu Dong nodding seriously, she asked with concern: Liu Dong, where are you from?

My family is from Liujia Commune, Daliushu County.

Yang Peipei muttered: Daliushu County? Liujia Commune?

Yes, Chief. Liu Dong replied affirmatively.

At this time, Yang Peipei seemed to have something on her mind, and she was a little absent-minded when she said anything. When she walked into the courtyard accompanied by the company commander and the instructor, she suddenly stopped: Can you help me check Liu Dong's file?

The instructor looked at her puzzled.

She hurriedly explained: I want to know about Liu Dong's family situation, after all, he saved Tamura, and he will always find an opportunity to thank his family in the future

The instructor said confidently: I don't need to check the file, Liu Dong's situation is in my head. His home address is Wangjiatun, the backer brigade of Liujia Commune, Daliushu County. His father's name is Liu Erga, who has been dead for many years, and his mother Wang Guixiang has an older brother and sister.

When the instructor said this, Yang Peipei almost fainted, and the instructor and company commander hurriedly helped her and said, "Chief, what's wrong with you?"

It was only at this time that Yang Peipei seemed to be startled, and hurriedly smiled: I may not have rested well in the past two days, and I am a little dizzy.

The company commander and the instructor sent her to the guest house together. When Yang Peipei was the only one left, she caressed her chest with her hands, leaned on the bed, and muttered: What a coincidence, what a coincidence.

She slowly stood up and walked around the house, never expecting that her son would be a soldier in the same division and in the same company as his own brother. She began to suspect that she was dreaming, and she couldn't believe that what was in front of her could be true. For so many years, the situation of Wang Guixiang's family has always been in her heart. Wangjiatun, the backer brigade of Liujia Commune, Daliushu County, is too familiar with this address, and she has sent things to this address more than once. It seems that God has arranged all this a long time ago, twenty years ago, God separated the two brothers, and twenty years later let them meet again. If it weren't for Tamura's injury, the mystery wouldn't have been revealed; If she hadn't come to see Liu Dong, she wouldn't have known about this......

Yang Peipei was stunned there, not knowing where she was for a while. As soon as she lowered her head, she saw the phone on the bedside table, she couldn't bear this sudden coincidence alone, she picked up the phone and connected to Tian Liaoshen.

Tian Liaoshen asked strangely on the phone: Don't you want to stay for two days? Why are you coming back so soon?

I have something important that I must go back to tell you.

Tian Liaoshen said on the phone: Isn't the child just a little injured, don't you need to be so surprised?

Yang Peipei didn't want to say too much on the phone, so after putting down the phone, she looked out the window and was stunned.

The news of his mother's departure was told to Tamura by the instructor. The instructor said that the chief could not get out of his work, so he left early. Yang Peipei also explained this to the instructor, she wanted to take a look at Tamura before leaving, but she was afraid of seeing him, so she used this way of saying goodbye.

When Yang Peipei entered the house, she hurriedly called Tian Liaoshen. As soon as Tian Liaoshen stepped into the door with one foot, he shouted: What's wrong, making you so nervous?

Yang Peipei looked directly at Tian Liaoshen, as if she wanted to find comfort from his gaze, at this time she was already six gods and no master, as if her son's secret was already known to everyone. The way she didn't speak for a long time made Tian Liao Shen unable to hold his breath, and he glared at her and shouted: What the hell is wrong? Is there something wrong with Tamura's injury?

She shook her head slowly, tears streaming down her face, and she said with a cry: Tamura's twin brother has been found.

Tian Liaoshen looked at her as if he didn't know Yang Peipei, and after a long time, he asked: How did you know?

She sobbed: Do you know who Liu Dong is who donated blood to Tamura? He is Tamura's own brother. After saying that, he wiped away his tears again.

Tian Liaoshen didn't know what to say for a while, and his breathing became short. While he was surprised, he had a sense of fate. This is fate, and it is also fate.

Yang Peipei wiped her tears and said angrily and hatefully: It's all your fault, if Tamura hadn't been allowed to go to the Thirteenth Division, how could he be with Liu Dong?

Tian Liaoshen also sighed: I see, this is not a bad thing, we don't want to hide Tamura's life experience for a lifetime, and we will tell him sooner or later. We were only his adoptive parents, and that could not be doubted from the beginning.

Yang Peipei raised her face, looked at Tian Liaoshen helplessly, and said: Then it's too early, in case Tamura knows his life experience, he will ...... in the future

Yang Peipei is a woman after all, and for twenty years, she has long regarded Tamura as her own child and as a part of this family, and she can't imagine what her life will be like one day after losing Tamura.

Tian Liaoshen sat on the chair, knocked on the table with his hand and reminded: Don't worry, first of all, Tamura is not that kind of child, he is really that kind of child, we also have to face reality.

Yang Peipei listened to Tian Liaoshen's words, and once again burst into tears, she whimpered: No, Tamura is my child, I can't live without him. Lao Tian, while Tian Cun still doesn't know his life experience, you can transfer him out of the 13th Division.

Tian Liao stood up calmly and paced quickly in the room, he really had to think about it. Finally, he stopped and said with determination: No, we can't do anything bad for Tamura, if he really knows his life story one day, what will he think when we racked our brains to hide him? He will look down on us. Just let him stay in the Thirteenth Division, and if he knows it himself, let him know. He is already an adult, and he has the right to choose his future life.

After Tian Liaoshen finished speaking, he left home and went back to the office to work. Having said that, it was difficult for him to calm down. Tamura's voice and smile appeared tenaciously and clearly in front of his eyes at this time, emotionally speaking, he liked Tamura very much, whether psychologically or in reality, he had long regarded Tamura as his own son, and even felt more and more like himself. Tamura was naughty when he was a child and caused a lot of trouble, he was angry on the surface, but he was happy inside, as if he saw his childhood self and the continuation of his life.

After a fierce ideological struggle, Tian Liaoshen thought that Tamura had grown up, and sooner or later father and son would one day sit together like real men, face the truth of the matter, and make a man's choice. He didn't want to make things sneaky, that's not what a man, let alone a soldier, should do. The decision has been made, Tian Liaoshen's heart is relaxed, emotionally, he will always regard Tamura as his son, and this is enough. As for the future, that's Tamura's own business, let the children choose for themselves.

Just when Tian Liaoshen and Yang Peipei were worried about Tamura's true identity, Tamura welcomed Su Xiaoxiao in the ward.

Su Xiaoxiao appeared in front of his hospital bed all the way, and his eyes widened in surprise. Su Xiaoxiao's big black and long braid was gone, and only a short ear-length hair remained. As soon as she saw Tamura, she squatted beside the bed and grabbed his hand: Brother, you have suffered.

As soon as Su Xiaoxiao cried, Tamura's heart was also cloudy, rainy and snowy. They had only been separated for three days, but it was as long as a century. He had imagined the scene of being separated from Su Xiaoxiao hundreds of times before, but he didn't expect to be separated from her in that situation. He fell into a coma again and again because of the pain, and every time he woke up, his ears echoed with an eager call over and over again: Brother, wake up-

When she hugged him, he really felt her body temperature and true feelings, and at that time he swore in his heart: I will never forget you in my life, and I will definitely come to you in the future.

Facing Su Xiaoxiao at this time, he had mixed feelings, and tears welled up. He said in a trembling voice: Why are you here?

Su Xiaoxiao bit her lip and said: Brother, you were injured like this in order to save me, can I not come to see you?

Su Xiaoxiao's appearance made Tamura's mood change a lot. In the hospital, there are doctors and nurses to take care of, and occasionally the company commander and instructor will come over to take a look, and of course his comrades-in-arms, but they can't replace Su Xiaoxiao.

As soon as Su Xiaoxiao came, it spread in the hospital that the female militia rescued by Tamura came, and she was still a very beautiful female militiaman.

People who didn't know Tamura all took the opportunity to come to his ward to take a look at Su Xiaoxiao, and when they saw it, they pursed their lips and smiled, and they didn't say anything to their faces, but they just talked about the topic of heroes saving beauty behind their backs. The doctor joked: If I meet such a beautiful female militiaman, I will be a hero once, even if I am a little more seriously injured, it will be worth it.

The company commander and the instructor got the news that Su Xiaoxiao had come to see Tamura, and they also came to Tamura's ward together. When the company commander and instructor came, Su Xiaoxiao was feeding Tamura apples, and she was feeding Tamura apples cut into small pieces. Seeing their intimate behavior, the company commander and instructor were stunned for a moment, and then warmly shook hands with Su Xiaoxiao, and greeted each other with a mouthful: You are that Su Xiaoxiao, right?

Su Xiaoxiao seemed to be mentally prepared, and she said sharply: I am Su Xiaoxiao, come and see my life-saving benefactor. If it weren't for Tamura, I might be lying here.

The company commander and instructor expressed their gratitude to Su Xiaoxiao for coming to see Tamura, and also took out a newspaper of the military region to Su Xiaoxiao, which had a page reporting the heroic deeds of Tamura in saving the female militia, and also published a photo, which was written by Liu Dongcai.

Seeing the content of the newspaper, Su Xiaoxiao excitedly shouted at Tamura: Brother, you are in the newspaper.

Tamura smiled faintly, and only after the company commander and instructor had left did he read the report carefully. Liu Dong is his comrade-in-arms, so he naturally knows him very well, and the article writes about the details of Tamura since he joined the army, which makes him feel very real and very kind. When he saw Liu Dong's description of the scene of more than 100 soldiers in the company vying to donate blood, his eyes moistened.

Tamura put down the newspaper in his hand and asked himself: Are you really a hero?

His previous understanding of heroes was not like this, only when he was born and died on the battlefield, or even died in battle, he was a hero; And what is the value of what you do? He himself felt a little embarrassed to be praised as a hero like this.

Tamura didn't know that with the publication of this report, the craze for the 13th Division to learn Tamura's heroic deeds had begun. Tamura's act of saving the militia became a typical example of the 13th Division's propaganda and education.

In those days, Su Xiaoxiao lived in a basement-style guest house not far from the teacher's hospital. She arrives at Tamura's hospital room early every morning, carrying a crockpot of boiling hot chicken soup in her hand. The chicken was bought by Su Xiaoxiao, and after spending money to ask the people at the guest house to stew it, it was sent hot again.

Under Su's care, Tamura leaned on the head of the bed and slowly drank the fragrant chicken soup. He recovered quickly from his injuries, was able to move his body slightly, and after a few days of recuperation and nourishment, his face became rosy. Tamura, who is in good spirits, often talks and laughs with Su Xiaoxiao.

Sometimes, Su Xiaoxiao saw that Tamura was a little tired of talking, so she sang to him. Tamura closed his eyes and listened to Su Xiaoxiao's bright and sweet singing, like the wind and mist, floating into his heart like wisps, as if he had returned to the small courtyard of the farm house in Xiematun.

During this time, leaders at all levels in the division visited Tamura in the hospital. That morning, Division Commander Liu, accompanied by the company commander and instructor of the police communication company, also came to the ward. Before that, the instructor had already reported Tamura's injury and Su Xiaoxiao's situation to the division commander.

When Division Commander Liu saw Su Xiaoxiao, he didn't seem very surprised, he even looked at Su Xiaoxiao kindly, and said with a smile: Who said that the relationship between the military and the people is not as good as the war years? Look at this little comrade Su, who is closer to us than during the war.

Su Xiaoxiao blushed, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Someone introduced her: This is our Master Liu.

Su Xiaoxiao muttered: Tamura is my savior.

Master Liu nodded at her, and then said with Tamura's hand: How about it, I said that you can become a hero in peacetime, as long as you have a hero's heart.

Tamura said embarrassedly: Commander, what kind of hero am I? If something like this happens, I'm responsible, blame me for not having enough experience.

Master Liu laughed and said: Don't talk about responsibility now, your task is to take care of your body as soon as possible.

Master Liu said something else and left. Walking outside the hospital, he frowned and said to the instructor: That Su Xiaoxiao is here to take care of Tamura, I'm afraid the impact is not good?

The instructor looked at the teacher and said, "I felt the same way at first. She said that it was Tamura who saved her, and she had to do her best, so I was embarrassed to let her go.

Master Liu clapped his hands and said, "You talk to her." Tamura is a soldier and lives in a military hospital, where doctors and nurses take care of her, so let her go back with peace of mind. We accept the thanks, and the soldiers should make sacrifices.

After the instructor returned to the ward, he called Su Xiaoxiao out. When Tamura saw that the instructor called her out of the ward, she understood everything in her heart. A young girl, who is not his relative, always looks bad when she walks around his bedside every day. In the past few days, he has seen some signs from the expressions of doctors and nurses, they don't say anything, but their eyes are very contentious. As soon as he saw the complicated eyes of everyone, he felt weak and short of breath.

Su Xiaoxiao was very stubborn, and after the instructor explained the situation to her, her eyes were full of tears, but soon, she firmly told the instructor: It was Tamura who saved me, he has not been discharged from the hospital yet, and I will not leave.

After listening to her reply, the instructor scratched his head in embarrassment, and then talked about the situation between the army and the people, and then talked about the discipline of the troops, saying that the current situation has a bad impact on Tamura. Having said that, Su Xiaoxiao lost her temper, she didn't want to cause trouble to Tamura, and she didn't want to let Tamura suffer other harm because of herself, so she could only reluctantly agree to the instructor.

When he returned to Tamura's bedside, Su Xiaoxiao didn't speak for a long time. Seeing this, Tamura spoke first: You go back. I'm fine, and you've seen it here. Your mother has no one to take care of at home, and I can't bear it......

Without waiting for Tamura to finish speaking, Su Xiaoxiao lowered her head, two lines of tears fell down her cheeks onto the white sheets, and she whimpered quietly: Brother, I really don't want to go, I can't bear you.

Tamura looked out the door vigilantly and stopped her from sobbing: Everyone else is suspicious of us, when I am on leave to visit my family, I will go to see you, and you can go back with peace of mind.

Su Xiaoxiao stood up reluctantly, from the bottom of her heart, she was reluctant to leave, she still had a lot to say, and many emotions were not expressed. She stood there, looking at him with teary eyes: Brother, let me peel you another apple at the end, right?

Tamura looked at her tearful face, his heart was also sour, and he nodded.

Su Xiaoxiao took an apple and carefully peeled it, and cut it into very small pieces, when she finished all this, she raised her head, her mood seemed to be much calmer, she smiled and said: Brother, I watched you eat, you take a bite, and I will leave.

Tamura obediently put a small piece of apple in his mouth, but never tasted it.

Brother, then I'll go. Su Xiaoxiao turned her head and didn't look at him.

He replied vaguely.

Turning around, Su Xiaoxiao walked out without looking back. There was a crying song in the corridor, it was the familiar "Ode to Yimeng". Listening to the distant singing, Tamura's heart was broken, he covered his head with a quilt, and shouted in his heart: Xiaoxiao, I must marry you.

When Tamura was able to get out of bed and walk, the Political Department of the Military Region approved him to be awarded a second-class meritorious service based on his performance. In times of peace, second-class merit means the highest honor. The company commander, instructors, and comrades-in-arms all came to the ward to congratulate him.

He saw Liu Dong in the congratulatory crowd, he walked up to Liu Dong, hugged him, and said in his ear: Thank you, Liu Dong.

Liu Dong patted Tamura's back and said with a grin: It's nothing, isn't it just a little blood.

When he let go of Liu Dong, there were already tears in his eyes. He didn't expect that he would make a meritorious service, and it would be such a great honor. From the time it happened to the present, he has always believed that he is responsible, as an instructor of the militia, there is such an accident, it is his work that has not been done well; And Liu Dong also donated 600 milliliters of blood in order to save himself.

Since Liu Dong donated blood for him, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and he has been avoiding him. This was the first time Liu Dong appeared in his hospital room. At this moment, he felt that he had a thousand words to say to Liu Dong, but in the end, he only used a hug to complete what he wanted to express in his heart.

Liu Dong stood in the crowd, his heart was very calm, but he was a little jealous of Tamura at the beginning, after all, Tamura inadvertently completed a leap, and this leap was out of his reach. From enlisting in the army to knowing Tamura, he has always had low self-esteem in front of Tamura. Tamura's father is a high-ranking cadre, and this rescue proves that fate has always favored Tamura. In the face of such facts, he can only be convinced. When he couldn't sleep at night, he asked himself countless times, if he was Tamura, in the face of the hand ** that was about to explode, would he be as righteous and brave and decisive as him? The answer is uncertain. It was an instantaneous or subconscious act, and no one could have designed the consequences to complete such an adventure, and with this, he admired Tamura, and the initial jealousy slowly turned into admiration.

Tamura's body seemed to be shrouded in an invisible aura. Liu Dong blessed him in his heart. I heard that the party branch of the company had already reported to the higher authorities that Tamura had broken the rules and made a difference. According to the regulations of the army, a soldier who has been awarded a second-class meritorious service can be promoted to work without exception.

At this time, Liu Dong could only envy Tamura from afar.
