XXXVI. The lame hero
has already drunk three rounds, but none of them have dispersed, and everyone is patiently waiting for the arrival of the heroes of Laoshan.
It was not until one o'clock in the afternoon that Qi Jianxin finished receiving and commending the county leaders, with red silk and saffron tied on his chest, and was driven to the Linjiang Hotel by the officers of the Armed Forces Department.
As soon as they entered the door, the relatives and friends in the hotel all stood up and applauded in welcome, and the applause lasted for a long time.
Qi Youheng got up and warmly invited the officer to take a seat, Qi Health Care solemnly thanked his relatives and friends for saluting the army, and Shen Mengxi found that Qi Health Care was walking in the wrong posture when he entered the door, and his left leg was obviously lame.
Everyone sat down again, and Qi Health came to Old Man Qi again, knocked on his heels, and gave a military salute, "Grandpa!" I am back! ”
This sentence crushed Old Man Qi's frozen expression, he struggled to control his expression, not wanting to show too much emotion in front of people, nodded and said, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back!" ”
Lu Xiuzhi cried and pounced, "Boss! What's wrong with your legs? What's wrong? Yes? Tell Mom! What's wrong with the legs! ”
Qi Jianxian's eyes also reddened, "Mom, I'm fine, I'm just injured, and I haven't gotten better!" ”
People gathered around the voice, "The child is hurt?" ”
"Is it heavy!"
"I look a little lame when I walk in."
Lu Xiuzhi squatted down suddenly, picked up his son's trousers, a twenty-centimeter-long brown scar, like a centipede, lying on Qi Health's calf, shocking, Lu Xiuzhi wailed, hugged his son's leg, "My child! ”
Grandma also squeezed in and cried a little louder than Lu Xiuzhi, which made Lu Xiuzhi's heart-wrenching cry a little discordant and funny.
Suddenly, the bustle just now turned into a cry.
Shen Mengxi sat beside Old Man Qi and held his slightly trembling hand, "Grandpa, if Zhao Wenxue can come back, he will be lame, and his mother will be happy." ”
Old Man Qi blinked and forced back his tears, and looked down at his granddaughter, "Yes, Baozhu is right, we can't be too greedy." ”
Old Man Qi stood up and roared angrily: "Don't cry!" ”
The hotel suddenly fell silent, and they all looked at the old man Qi who had white hair.
"What are you crying about? Isn't it appropriate to take care of the family and defend the country? We should be happy to come back alive and continue to contribute to the country! Isn't the state calling for the four modernizations? Then hurry up and make it happen! And Kung Fu crying? Besides, think about the children who sacrificed their lives! ”
The officers of the Armed Forces Department took the opportunity to praise the old man Qi's high style and bright festival, which is indeed the ideological height that the families of martyrs and combat heroes should have, and everyone also agreed with it.
Lu Xiuzhi took a deep breath, wiped away her tears, stood up, still couldn't hold back, hugged her son again, and cried silently.
No matter how the Qi family controlled it, their emotions couldn't be calm for a while, and the feast quickly dispersed, and people sighed and comforted, and they all came to say hello and leave.
When she returned home, Lu Xiuzhi's eyes were no one else, and her heart was full of her eldest son.
"Are you awake?"
"Health, what do you want to eat? Mom will do it for you! ”
"Health care, you take off your shirt and show your mother, what are the injuries?"
"Health ......"
******
Qi Baokang's college entrance examination has ended, he didn't say how he did in the exam, and others didn't want to ask much. After the exam, he went to Qingfeng Forest Farm again.
This year, Shen Mengxi saw in his eyes that Qi Baokang really worked hard, it can be said that he forgot to sleep and eat, he lived in the school dormitory, came back every Sunday to change clothes, and usually studied hard at school.
The night before the college entrance examination, he was nervous and couldn't sleep, Shen Mengxi went to massage his head acupuncture points, wanting him to relax, but Qi Baokang was very anxious and brushed her hand away, "Baozhu go to sleep, the second brother has an exam tomorrow!" ”
"Good luck with your exams!" Shen Mengxi could only leave.
Qi Youheng was disturbed by Qi Baokang's security guards, and he didn't pay too much attention to Qi Baokang, and he didn't expect anything from him after the exam, but just warned that if he couldn't pass the exam this time, he would honestly participate in the work, and he would not want to think about it again!
Now that Qi Health Care is back, Qi Baokang has also finished the college entrance examination, Qi Baoan is also much more honest, and Qi Youheng and his wife are a lot more relieved.
Qi Bao's group secretly went swimming as usual, even on rainy and cloudy days.
"We don't know why we're so willing to take a shower? Why is it so comfortable to bubble in the river? Lu Xiuzhi couldn't move anymore, and now she didn't bother to check whether there were white marks on her son's arm every day, pointed to her old son and said, "You have to be scared, I don't know how to feel sorry for your mother at all!" ”
Qi Baoan said heartlessly: "If you don't wash it again, it will be cold again in a few days!" Who made our summer so short! ”
Lu Xiuzhi was so angry that she slapped the Qi security guard's buttocks, and the Qi security guard screamed, "Big brother, help!" You're not at home, our mom beats me every day! ”
"Well deserved!" Qi said with a smile.
"Ah~~ You all bullied me! I picked it up! "Qi security guard pretended to cry and asked Han Dong to go swimming by the river, and from today this swimming can be regarded as crossing the clear road, so he was even more blatant, shouted Han Dong by the courtyard wall, and went to find those buddies again.
"Third child, you go and follow!" Lu Xiuzhi said.
"Mom, I'll go!" Qi said that he has not been assigned a job, and he is currently most idle.
"Are your legs okay?"
"Okay! Nothing! Qi Health also stomped his feet.
Lu Xiuzhi's tears fell as soon as she clicked: she can stomp her feet hard, which means that this leg is like this, and it can't get better.
Shen Mengxi jumped off the kang and took Qi Jianxian's hand, "I'll go too!" ”
The two of them fled out of the house before slowing down.
In the evening, many people came to swim by the river, basking in the river water for most of the day, the water temperature was just right, a group of teenagers took off their clothes with a smile, and they were already walking upstream, Shen Mengxi and Qi Health sat on the beach.
Qi Jian pinched his sister's face, "Grow up, don't cry?" ”
Shen Mengxi smiled, pointed to his leg and said, "Can I touch it?" ”
"Then don't cry!" Qi Jian picked up his trouser leg and said.
Shen Mengxi touched the scar and pressed the bone again, Qi Xian saw that she was not afraid, so he said, "The eldest brother has been away from home for a few years, and the treasure bead has really grown." ”
Shen Mengxi sighed, this eldest brother's expectations for his sister are low enough.
She grabbed his hand and gave him a pulse, "Don't move, don't speak!" ”
Qi Jian looked at his sister's fingers with a smile at first, and then looked at the surging river and fell silent.
Rolling Longjiang water, half of the sunset red. Two figures, one tall and one short, snuggled up to the shore, as if in a painting.
Shen Mengxi finished concentrating on his left hand and sat down on his right again. She determined that Qi Jianxian's leg had injured bones and tendons, and although the bone injury had healed, the operation was improper, resulting in the shortening and dislocation of the hamstrings, resulting in lameness. In fact, the treatment is not very difficult, but now that Chinese medicine is withering, I can't find anyone who understands it for a while.
She was completely confident that with acupuncture, he would be able to walk like a fly in a few months. But how do you trust an eight-year-old?
"Seen sick?" Qi Health came back to his senses and saw that Qi Baobao had already gone down the river and stood up.
"I'm done! I can heal your leg! Shen Mengxi looked at Qi Health Care with a straight face.
Qi Jian looked down at his sister after hearing this, and pinched her face with a smile, "Okay! Then the big brother's leg will be handed over to the orb! ”
"Okay!" Shen Mengxi slapped Qi Jianxian's palm, "A word is a certainty!" ”
