Chapter 25 Hospital

Su Xiaoxiao came to the hospital on the third day after Tiancun's operation. Strictly speaking, Tamura's injury was not fatal. Several pieces of shrapnel hit his back and legs. The operation and the blood loss on the road made Tamura urgently need blood transfusion.The division's hospital is not big, usually there is only a small amount of plasma, and Tamura's blood type is a rare HR type. It happens that the blood banks of the division's hospital and several local hospitals are also short of blood, so they can only rely on on-site blood collection. It was midnight when the police contact company got the news, and the company commander blew the whistle for emergency assembly.More than a hundred people from the police company ran to the hospital. After a blood test, only Liu Dong's blood type was suitable.The operation was going on, and Tamura was already in a coma due to excessive blood loss.

Liu Dong drew blood twice, the first time was 400 milliliters, and the second time was 200 milliliters.After transfusing 600 milliliters of blood from Liu Dong, Tian Cun finally woke up. Tian Cun's injury alarmed Tian Liaoshen and Yang Peipei.The next morning after the operation, the two appeared in front of Tamura's hospital bed.Tian Cun's body was wrapped in gauze, and he was lying there for an infusion. A large amount of blood was replenished, and his face gradually turned red. Seeing his father and mother walking in, he grinned. Yang Peipei stepped forward quickly and grabbed Tian Cun's hand, tears streaming down her face.She looked here, touched there, and kept asking: Son, does it hurt?

Seeing Yang Peipei's nervous look, Tian Liaoshen said lightly: You are also a doctor, and it's not that you have never seen the wounded, so don't make a fuss. Only then did Yang Peipei control her emotions, hid aside and wiped her eyes. Tian Cun looked at his mother and comforted him softly: Mom, I'm fine, just a little injury. After hearing what Tian Cun said, Tian Liao smiled at his son and said: "Son, all right!"You are like me in this.When I was injured, I never complained of pain. A soldier should look like a soldier. The job of a soldier is to bleed and die.

When Tian Liaoshen said this, half of it was for Tian Cun, and the other half was for Yang Peipei.Those who cry in front of their son always look a little indecent, and more importantly, they don't conform to their status. Sure enough, Yang Peipei stopped crying. She sat in front of her son's bed, held Tamura's hand, and looked at him lovingly. Tian Liaochen walked around the ward for two steps with his hands behind his back, before asking: "Son, I heard you rescued a female militiaman?" Tamura nodded and said: The grenade was not thrown out, it was hanging on her braid.I am responsible for this matter, I did not remind her beforehand.

Tian Liao bent down and stared at his son's face: Good son, you are like a real soldier now, and you will take the initiative to take responsibility to your superiors when you recover from your injuries.A merit is a merit, and a fault is a fault. Yang Peipei on the side couldn't listen anymore, and said to Tian Liaoshen: "The child hasn't healed yet, don't say those responsible and irresponsible things, you can't say something nice." Tian Liao said solemnly: Don't forget, our son is now a warrior. Yang Peipei interrupted Tian Liaoshen: Tian Cun, I heard that it was a comrade named Liu Dong who gave you blood transfusion?

Tamura nodded and told his mother: We were in the same squad when we were in the recruit company. Tian Liaochen seemed to remember something, and asked: Is it the one standing at the end of the queue? Tamura looked at his father excitedly: Yes! Dad, how do you understand it so clearly? Tian Liao nodded thoughtfully and said: It was introduced by your leader. Yang Peipei went on to say: I heard from the doctor that if he hadn't transfused so much blood for you, you would be in danger.There are more than a hundred of you, but he is the only one who transfused your blood. It seems that you are really destined.In the future, you must not forget about him, it was he who saved your life.

Tamura nodded obediently. Tian Liaoshen did not stay in the hospital that time, seeing that Tian Cun's injury had stabilized, he left in the afternoon.Many things in the military organization are still waiting for him to deal with.Yang Peipei was worried about her son and stayed. Yang Peipei appeared in the police communication company the next day, and she wanted to see her son's savior, Liu Dong.Accompanied by the company commander and instructors, they came to Liu Dong's dormitory.Before she came, she bought some nutritional supplements. When they came in, Liu Dong was resting in bed. Because of the blood donation, the company gave Liu Dong three full days off.

Seeing the company commander and the others come in, Liu Dong sat up. Yang Peipei stepped forward quickly and supported him: "Lie down, auntie will come to see you." The company commander introduced: This is Tian Cun's mother, Director Yang of the outpatient department of the military agency. Liu Dong stood up and saluted Yang Peipei: Hello, sir. Yang Peipei lightly pressed Liu Dong's shoulder with her hand: "My child, sit down quickly." Liu Dong sat on the edge of the bed, 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 in embarrassment, and said naively: This is what I should do.Anyone else would do the same if they had the right blood type. The company commander also interjected: It's strange, there are more than 100 people in the company, why are they the only two with HR blood type? Yang Peipei smiled. She looked at Liu Dong beside her, and said lovingly: This is your fate. In the future, you should help each other and make progress together. Seeing Liu Dong nodding seriously, she asked again with concern: Liu Dong, where are you from? My family belongs to the Liu Family Commune in Daliushu County.

Yang Peipei muttered: Daliushu County?Liu Family Commune? Yes, sir.Liu Dong answered in the affirmative. 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 yard accompanied by the company commander and the instructor, she stopped suddenly: Can you check Liu Dong's file for me? 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 look for opportunities to thank his family in the future.

The instructor said confidently: I don't need to check the files, Liu Dong's situation is just in my mind.His home address is Wangjiatun of the Backing Brigade of Liujia Commune in Daliushu County.His father is Liu Erga, who has died of illness for many years. His mother, Wang Guixiang, has a brother and a sister. When the instructor finished speaking, Yang Peipei nearly fainted. The instructor and the company commander quickly helped her up, and said, "Chief, what's wrong with you?" It was only then that Yang Peipei seemed startled, and smiled hurriedly: "Maybe I haven't had a good rest in the past two days, and I feel a little dizzy." The company commander and the instructor sent her to the guest house together.When Yang Peipei was left alone, she put her hand on her chest, leaned on the bed, and murmured: What a coincidence, what a coincidence. She stood up slowly and kept walking in the room. It never occurred to her that her son was a soldier in the same division and a company with 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 real.For so many years, the situation of Wang Guixiang's family has been pretending in her heart.She is very familiar with Wangjiatun, the backing brigade of Liujia Commune in Daliushu County, and she has sent things to this address more than once.It was as if God had arranged all of this long ago. Twenty years ago, God separated the two brothers, and twenty years later, God made them meet again.If Tamura hadn't been injured this time, the mystery would not have been revealed; if she hadn't come to see Liu Dong, she wouldn't have known about it... Yang Peipei stood there blankly, not knowing where she was for a moment.When she lowered her head, she saw the phone on the bedside table. She couldn't bear this sudden coincidence by herself, so she picked up the phone and connected Tian Liaochen. Tian Liaochen 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, I must go back and tell you. Tian Liaochen was chatting on the phone: The child was injured a little bit, so why should you be so surprised? Yang Peipei didn't want to talk too much on the phone, so after putting down the phone, she stared out the window in a daze. The news of her mother's departure was told by the instructor to Tamura.The instructor said that the chief executive couldn't get away from work, so he left early.Yang Peipei explained the same to the instructor. She wanted to take a look at Tian Cun before leaving, but she was afraid of seeing him, so she used this way of leaving without saying goodbye. When Yang Peipei entered the house, she called Tian Liaochen in a hurry.As soon as Tian Liaochen stepped into the door with one foot, he shouted: What's the matter, making you so nervous? Yang Peipei looked directly at Tian Liaochen, as if she wanted to find solace in his gaze. At this moment, she was in a state of confusion, as if everyone knew her son's secret.The way she didn't speak for a long time made Tian Liao lose his temper. He glared at her and shouted: What's the matter?Has Tamura's injury changed? She shook her head slowly, with tears streaming down her face, she said in a sobbing voice: "Tian Cun's twin brother has been found." Tian Liaochen looked at Yang Peipei as if he didn't know her, and after a long time, he asked, "How do you know?" She sobbed: Do you know who Liu Dong donated blood to Tamura?He is Tamura's older brother.After speaking, he wiped away tears again. Tian Liaochen didn't know what to say for a while, and his breathing became short of breath.While he was surprised, he also had a sense of fate.This is destiny and fate. Wiping her tears, Yang Peipei said angrily and bitterly: "It's all your fault. If Tian Cun was not allowed to go to the Thirteenth Division, why would he be with Liu Dong?" Tian Liaochen also let out a long breath: I see, this is not a bad thing, we don't want to hide Tian Cun's life experience for the rest of our life, we will tell him sooner or later.We were only his adoptive parents, there could never have been any doubt about that from the start. Yang Peipei raised her face, looked at Tian Liaoshen helplessly and said: It's too early now, if Tian Cun knows her background, in the future... After all, Yang Peipei is a woman. For twenty years, she has long regarded Tiancun as her own child and a part of the family. She dare not imagine what her life will be like after losing Tiancun one day. Tian Liao sat down on the chair, knocked on the table to remind him: Don't worry, first of all, Tian Cun is not that kind of child, he is really that kind of child, we have to face the reality. Yang Peipei burst into tears again after hearing Tian Liaoshen's words, she sobbed: No, Tian Cun is my child, I can't live without him.Lao Tian, ​​before Tian Cun knows his background, you can transfer him away from the Thirteenth Division. Tian Liao stood up heavily, and quickly paced around the room. He really had to think about it.Finally, he stopped and said with determination: No, we can't do anything that is not good for Tamura. If one day he really knows about his life experience, what will he think when we mentioned that we tried our best to hide it from him?He will look down on us.Just let him stay in the Thirteenth Division. 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 Liaochen finished speaking, he left home and went back to the office to work.That's what he said, but he couldn't calm down in his heart.At this time, Tamura's voice and smile appeared tenaciously and clearly in front of his eyes. From an emotional point of view, he liked Tamura very much. No matter in psychology or in reality, he had long regarded Tamura as his own son, and even became more and more fond of him. I think Tamura looks like me.Tamura was naughty when he was a child and caused many troubles. He was very angry on the surface, but he was very happy in his heart, as if he saw himself as a child, and even saw the continuation of his life. After a fierce ideological struggle, Tian Liaoshen believed that Tian Cun had grown up, and sooner or later, father and son would 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 men, let alone soldiers, should do.Having made up his mind, Tian Liao felt relieved. Emotionally, he would treat Tian Cun as his own son as always, and that was enough.As for the future, that is Tamura's own business, let the child choose by himself. Just as Tian Liaoshen and Yang Peipei were worried about Tian Cun's true identity, Tian Cun welcomed Su Xiaoxiao in the ward. Su Xiaoxiao appeared in front of his hospital bed all the way, his eyes widened in surprise.Su Xiaoxiao's big black and long braid disappeared, only her ear-length short hair was left.As soon as she saw Tian Cun, she squatted beside the bed and grabbed his hand: Brother, I made you suffer. When Su Xiaoxiao cried, Tian Cun's heart was also cloudy and rainy.It was only three days since they parted, but it seemed like a century.He had imagined the scene of parting with Su Xiaoxiao hundreds of times before, but he never expected to part with her under such a situation.He fell into a coma again and again due to the pain, and every time he woke up, his ears would be filled with fervent calls: Brother, wake up—— When she hugged him, he really felt her body temperature and true feelings. At that time, he swore in his heart: I will never forget you in this 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 trembled and said, "Why are you here?" Su Xiaoxiao bit her lip and said: Brother, you got hurt like this to save me, can I not come and see you? The appearance of Su Xiaoxiao changed Tamura's mood a lot.In the hospital, there are doctors and nurses to take care of him. Occasionally, the company commander and instructor will come to see him, and of course his comrades in arms, but they cannot replace Su Xiaoxiao. As soon as Su Xiaoxiao came, word spread in the hospital that the female militiaman rescued by Tiancun had arrived, and she was a very beautiful female militiaman. People who knew Tian Cun or not, all went to his ward to take a look at Su Xiaoxiao for an excuse. When they saw it, they pursed their lips and smiled. They didn't say anything in person, but talked about the topic of heroes saving the beauty behind their backs.The doctor joked: If I meet such a beautiful female militiaman, I will be a hero once, even if the injury is a little more serious, it will be worth it. The company commander and the instructor got the news that Su Xiaoxiao came to visit Tian Cun, and they also came to Tian Cun's ward together.When the company commander and the instructor came, Su Xiaoxiao was feeding Tamura apples, and she was feeding the apples cut into small pieces into Tamura's mouth.Seeing their intimate behavior, the company commander and instructor were taken aback for a moment, then shook hands with Su Xiaoxiao enthusiastically, and exchanged greetings: Are you that Su Xiaoxiao? Su Xiaoxiao seemed to be mentally prepared, she said eloquently: I am Su Xiaoxiao, come and see my savior.If it weren't for Tamura, I might be the one lying here. The company commander and the instructor thanked Su Xiaoxiao for coming to see Tiancun, and showed Su Xiaoxiao a newspaper in the military region. There was a page on it that reported the heroic deeds of Tiancun saving the female militiamen, and also posted photos. It was written by Liu Dongcai. Seeing the content in the newspaper, Su Xiaoxiao excitedly shouted to Tamura: Brother, you are already in the newspaper. Tamura smiled lightly, and only after the company commander and instructor left did he read the report carefully.Liu Dong was his comrade-in-arms, so he knew him very well. The article wrote about the details of Tamura since he joined the army, which made him feel very real and kind.When he saw Liu Dong's description of the scene of more than one hundred soldiers from the whole company scrambling to donate blood, his eyes were moist. 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. He was only a hero if he was born and died on the battlefield, or even died in battle; and what did he do?He himself felt a little embarrassed to be praised as a hero in this way. Tamura didn't know that with the publication of this report, the Thirteenth Division's upsurge of learning Tamura's heroic deeds had already begun.Tian Cun's act of bravely rescuing the militia has become a typical example of the 13th Division's propaganda and education. In those few days, Su Xiaoxiao lived in a basement-style guest house not far from the Teacher's Hospital.She came to Tian Cun's ward early every morning, holding a crock pot of boiling hot chicken soup in her hand.The chicken was bought by Su Xiaoxiao, who paid the staff at the guest house to stew it, and then delivered it piping hot. Under the care of Su Xiaoxiao, Tian Cun leaned on the head of the bed and slowly drank the fragrant chicken soup.He recovered quickly from his injuries, and he can already move his body slightly. After a few days of recuperation and nourishment, his face also became rosy.Tamura, who is in good spirits, often talks and laughs with Su Xiaoxiao. Sometimes, when Su Xiaoxiao saw that Tian Cun was tired from speaking, she sang to him.Tian Cun closed his eyes, listening to Su Xiaoxiao's clear and sweet singing, like wind and fog, drifting into his heart, as if he had returned to the small farmyard in Xiematun. During this time, leaders at all levels in the division visited Tamura in the hospital one after another.That morning, Mr. Liu came to the ward accompanied by the commander of the police communication company and the instructor.Before that, the instructor had already reported Tamura's injury and Su Xiaoxiao's situation to the teacher. Master Liu didn't seem very surprised when he saw Su Xiaoxiao, he even looked at Su Xiaoxiao kindly, and said with a smile: Who said that the relationship between the army and the people is not as good as in the war years?Look at Comrade Su Xiaoxiao, he is closer to us than he was 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 murmured: Tian Cun is my savior. Master Liu nodded to her, then shook Tamura's hand and said: "How about it, I said that you can become a hero in peaceful times, as long as you have a hero's heart." Tamura said embarrassedly: Teacher, what kind of hero am I?When something like this happened, I was responsible and blamed my lack of experience. Master Liu laughed loudly and said: Let's not 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, the impact may not be good, right? 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 if she wanted to do her best, I didn't have the nerve to let her go. Master Liu clapped his hands and said: You talk to her.Tian Cun is a soldier and lives in a military hospital with doctors and nurses taking care of her. Let her go back with peace of mind.We accept the gratitude, and soldiers should make sacrifices. After the instructor returned to the ward, he called Su Xiaoxiao out.Seeing that the instructor called her out of the ward, Tian Cun understood everything in his heart.A young girl, not one of his relatives, who walked around his bed every day, always seemed not very well.In the past few days, he has seen some signs from the expressions of the doctors and nurses. They don't say anything, but they look at him with content.As soon as he saw everyone's complicated eyes, he felt guilty and short of breath. Su Xiaoxiao was very stubborn. After the instructor explained the situation to her, her eyes filled with tears, but soon, she firmly told the instructor: It was Tamura who saved me, and he has not been discharged from the hospital yet. won't leave. After hearing her reply, the instructor scratched his head in embarrassment, and started talking about the fish and water situation between the army and the people, and then talked about the discipline of the army, saying that the current situation would not have a good impact on Tamura.Having said that, Su Xiaoxiao lost her temper. She didn't want to cause trouble for Tamura, let alone hurt Tamura because of herself, so she could only reluctantly agree to the instructor. When she returned to Tian Cun's bedside, Su Xiaoxiao didn't speak for a long time.Seeing this, Tamura opened his mouth first and said: You go back.I'm fine, as you can see here.Your mother has no one to take care of her at home, so I can't bear to... Before Tamura finished speaking, Su Xiaoxiao lowered her head, two lines of tears fell down her cheeks onto the white sheet, she sobbed softly: Brother, I really don't want to leave, I can't bear you. Tamura looked out the door vigilantly, and stopped her from sobbing: Others are suspicious of us, and I will visit you when I am on vacation to visit relatives, 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 a lot of emotions to express.She stood there, looking at him with teary eyes: Brother, let me peel you another apple at the end? Looking at her tearful face, Tian Cun felt sore in his heart, so he nodded. Su Xiaoxiao took an apple and carefully peeled it, and cut it into very small pieces. After finishing all this, she raised her head, and her mood seemed to be much calmer. She smiled and said: Brother, I see Let me eat, take a bite, and I will leave. Tamura obediently put a small piece of apple into his mouth, but he never tasted it. Brother, then I'm leaving.Su Xiaoxiao turned her head and said without looking at him. He responded vaguely. Turning around, Su Xiaoxiao walked out without looking back.A crying voice came from the corridor, it was the familiar "Ode to Yimeng".Listening to the singing in the distance, Tian Cun's heart was broken. He covered his head with a quilt and shouted in his heart: Xiao Xiao, I must marry you. When Tian Cun was able to get out of bed and walk, the Political Department of the military region approved him to be awarded second-class merit based on his performance.In peaceful times, second-class merit means the highest honor.Company commanders, instructors, and comrades-in-arms all came to the ward to congratulate him. He saw Liu Dong among the congratulatory crowd. He walked up to Liu Dong, hugged him, and whispered in his ear: Thank you, Liu Dong. Liu Dong patted Tian Cun on the back and said carelessly: It's nothing, it's just a blood transfusion. When he let go of Liu Dong, there were already tears in his eyes.He didn't expect that he would make meritorious service, and it would be such a great honor.From the incident to the present, he has always believed that he was responsible. As an instructor of the militia, such an accident occurred because he did not do a good job; and Liu Dong donated 600 milliliters of medicine to save himself. Blood. Ever since Liu Dong donated blood for him, whether it was intentional or not, he has been avoiding him.This is the first time Liu Dong has appeared in his ward.At this moment, he felt that he had a thousand words to say to Liu Dong, but in the end he only needed a hug to complete what he wanted to express in his heart. Liu Dong stood in the crowd, feeling very calm, but he was a little jealous of Tamura at the beginning, after all, Tamura made a leap inadvertently, and this leap was beyond his reach.From joining the army to knowing Tamura, he has always had low self-esteem in front of Tamura.Tamura's father is a high-ranking official, and the rescue this time proves that fate has always favored Tamura.In the face of such facts, he could only be convinced.When he couldn't sleep at night, he asked himself countless times, if he were Tamura, facing the grenade that was about to explode, would he be as brave and decisive as him?The answer is uncertain.It was an instant or subconscious behavior, and no one could plan the consequences before completing such an adventure. Based on this, he admired Tamura, and the initial jealousy gradually turned into admiration. Tamura's body seemed to be shrouded in an invisible halo.Liu Dong blessed him in his heart.It was said that the party branch of the company had already reported to the superiors that Tamura had made an exception for his promotion.According to the regulations of the army, soldiers who have won second-class merit can be promoted exceptionally. At this time, Liu Dong could only envy Tian Cun from afar.
