Chapter 15 Chapter Thirteen

After getting off the scene of the fire, He Zisheng went straight to the Municipal People's Hospital closest to his home. Like a headless fly, he caught the doctor and nurse and asked, "My love has a baby, where is it?" A female doctor looked him over and sneered lukewarmly: "You have never accompanied your lover to the hospital for antenatal checkups, have you?" At the end, she added, "Go to the obstetrics and gynecology department of the inpatient department." He Zisheng inquired all the way, and finally came to the obstetrics and gynecology department. He found that there was a big mess here. Pregnant women, mothers and babies lying on stretchers were brought in in waves. Prescription.He immediately realized that the pregnant women, parturients and babies who had just been rescued from the Maternal and Children's Hospital were transferred to this hospital.

"Feng Yuan—maternal haemorrhage, family members, where are the family members?" Suddenly hearing the nurse's call, He Zisheng hurriedly agreed, ran to the nurse, sweating all over from nervousness, and said, "How is my wife? Bleeding? Is it dangerous? You must save her!" The nurse asked in surprise, "Why did two family members come here all of a sudden?" Only then did He Zisheng realize that there was a man he didn't know standing beside him.The man also stared at him inexplicably. The nurse was impatient: "Feng Yuan, who is Feng Yuan's family member?"

The man replied: "I am." He Zisheng breathed a sigh of relief, "My wife's name is Feng Yuanyuan, I'm sorry, I made a mistake." "I said, how come there are two." The nurse who had been busy all night said angrily, "There are mistakes, how can you be someone's husband!" He Zisheng stood in the aisle of the ward in distress.He couldn't find Feng Yuanyuan, and he didn't even see Zhao Fang or Zhou Ru.where are they "Hey! I know you, you are the hero who saved lives tonight." A little nurse came over, "What's the matter?"

If He Zisheng met a savior, he quickly asked the little nurse for help. The little nurse was happy to help him, "No problem, I'll check the hospital records for you." However, records show that there is no maternity hospital named "Feng Yuanyuan".The little nurse was helpless, "Your lover is probably not admitted to our hospital, why don't you go to another hospital to look for it?" He Zisheng borrowed the phone number from the nurse's office to call Zhao Fang's house, Zhou Ru, and even Jiang Yina, but no one answered the phone; when he called his home, he was greeted by a busy voice of "beep".

In the process of dialing and waiting, he paced back and forth anxiously.He has never been so anxious, even in the most dangerous and difficult fire scene, he has always been calm, he believes that he can defeat the opponent, even if there is an occasional mistake, he will definitely win the next round.However, this time is different. The person he loves the most, knows that she is not far away, and knows that she is helpless, but he can't find the direction of her traces, and can't fly to her side.The world is so small, yet so big. After calling Yu Manjiang, he rushed out of the hospital. He couldn't wait, so he decided to search for each hospital from near to far.

When I walked to the gate of the hospital, I received a reply from Yu Manjiang: Feng Yuanyuan is in the city's No. 1 Hospital, hurry up. He Zisheng's heart seemed to have wings, and he wished that the taxi would also have wings. However, due to the fire, many roads in the city were under traffic control, and there was a traffic jam on the way. When He Zisheng arrived at the city's No. 1 Hospital, it was almost morning. He walked into the floor of the obstetrics and gynecology ward, saw Zhou Ru at first sight, rushed up and asked, "Mom, where is Yuanyuan, how is she?"

Zhou Ru raised her eyelids, "You still know? Xiaohe, you treat the things I asked you before you got married as real events, and don't care whether Yuanyuan lives or dies." He Zisheng asked anxiously: "Mom, you can scold me and beat me, but tell me where Yuanyuan is?" "Pa—" A slap fell on He Zisheng's face, and Zhou Ru burst into tears. A bone-piercing cold air rushed straight to He Zisheng's forehead, his whole body was icy cold: Something must have happened to Feng Yuanyuan!He grabbed Zhou Ru's sleeve, his hands trembling uncontrollably, "Mom, Mom, what's the matter—"

Zhou Ru turned her head and ignored him. "Hush, don't make noise, Yuanyuan just fell asleep." Feng's father came over and stopped in a low voice, separating He Zisheng and Zhou Ru who were struggling. He Zisheng was pleasantly surprised: "Yuanyuan, she?" Father Feng glanced at Zhou Ru, and patted He Zisheng on the shoulder, "Yuanyuan gave birth to a daughter for you. The delivery was smooth and safe, and the mother and daughter were safe. Here, in that ward, go in and see her." He Zisheng walked away, Zhou Ru swayed and stopped in front of him, "Don't go in."

Father Feng said, "Ru, what are you doing?" Zhou Ru said, "Didn't you hear what Yuanyuan said? She said she didn't want to see this kid." Father Feng stomped, "Can you take this kind of thing seriously? Don't meddle in the affairs of their young couple." Zhou Ru persisted, "He is not qualified to visit Yuanyuan. How dangerous was it just now? Where was he when Yuanyuan was suffering? Now that she gave birth, she gave birth normally, so I will pick ripe fruits right away. No way! No entry!" He Zisheng's eyes were piercing, staring at the warm light coming through the glass door of the ward, and said in a low voice, "Mom, don't stop me. I must see Yuanyuan. You can't stop me."

Zhou Ru sneered, "Naturally, I'm not as strong as you. But if you're not afraid of waking Yuanyuan up or irritating her when you go in, just go on the rampage." He Zisheng was about to open the door, but after hearing this, he put down his hand weakly.Father Feng pulled him away and said, "Don't blame your mother, she feels sorry for Yuanyuan. Go and see the child first, it's in the nursery." Outside the nursery, He Zisheng saw his daughter through the large glass window. Jiang Yina, the head nurse with a big belly, was changing her clothes. She is so small, like a cat, and so cute, with sparse and thin lanugo hair, her little face is rosy, her eyes are clear and clear, she looks exactly like Feng Yuanyuan, her fingers and toes are tender pink, which makes her beautiful He couldn't help but want to run up and take a bite.Jiang Yina put on the bottom of her trousers, she was probably not used to it, she grinned and protested with "Wow--".

He Zisheng raised his hand and tapped on the glass window lightly, and gestured to Jiang Yina with a flattering smile. Jiang Yina turned her head and saw that it was him, she rolled her eyes big and then went about her own business wholeheartedly. Zhao Fang, who was dozing on the wooden chair in the corridor, heard the movement, walked over, and said with a smile, "Hey, the father is here." Seeing the expression on He Zisheng's face, she understood, and then tapped lightly on the glass window.Jiang Yina had just dressed the child, saw that it was Zhao Fang, and after responding with a smile, she carried the child out of the nursery reluctantly. Zhao Fang took the child, passed it to He Zisheng, and enthusiastically taught him how to hold the child, "The child is small, and her head cannot stand upright. Hold her head." He Zisheng took the child carefully. She was so soft, with such a small body, so weak. He really wanted to hug her, but he was at a loss. He didn't know how to hug her without hurting her. After playing with her for a while, he reluctantly handed her back. To Zhao Fang, "Sister-in-law, you should come." Jiang Yina did not forget to mock He Zisheng, "You are really a rebel, Yuanyuan really dotes on you! If my Mingjie dares to be like you, I will tell him to kneel on the washboard with a water cup on his head every day." Sun Mingjie's fear is well-known in the whole team. I was not in the mood and didn't want to argue with her, so I said "thank you" and got away. Zhao Fang cheerfully took over the child, "Have you been trained by the mother-in-law?" He Zisheng nodded embarrassingly. Zhao Fang said: "You can't blame her, flesh and blood. You know, when I arrived at your house, Yuanyuan was already popular. I was so anxious that I called a few sisters-in-law to help her to the side of the road, but how did you I couldn't even get a taxi. Fortunately, your mother-in-law arrived with a car. She was going to be sent to the Municipal People's Hospital, but there was a traffic jam on the road, so she had to be transferred to the Municipal No. 1 Hospital. Along the way, Yuanyuan's face was as white as paper. It hurts! She has such a temper, she can't help but scream, but her knuckles are blue, which is scary. When she was sent to the delivery room, she looked at the corridor eagerly... I can understand how she faced it alone. Back then I am the same, bitter, hate even more." At the end, he was a little choked up. He Zisheng lowered his head and said sullenly, "I'm sorry for her." Zhao Fang sighed, "You men who work in firefighting, there are many places where you can be sorry for women. It's easy to say the three words 'sorry'." When He Zisheng returned to Feng Yuanyuan's ward, he first vowed to persuade his father-in-law and mother-in-law to go home and rest, then sat down and waited silently.He thought that Feng Yuanyuan's heart must be broken this time, and he was willing to accept any punishment. The night is long.Jiang Yina also told him coldly and warmly that she had arranged for nurses to take good care of her, and advised him to go home and rest.He shook his head and declined.He couldn't sleep, he wanted to wait for the dawn with his eyes wide open, and for Feng Yuanyuan to wake up. It's just that he had just experienced a fierce battle and brushed shoulders with death. He was so tired that he finally fell asleep near dawn. Amidst the noise of doctors and nurses making rounds, Jiang Yina pushed him awake expressionlessly, "Go, Yuanyuan agrees to see you." He Zisheng's drowsiness disappeared, he jumped up, walked quickly to the front of the ward, hesitated for a moment, and gently opened the door. Feng Yuanyuan was half lying on the hospital bed. At this time, the morning light was just emerging, and the lights in the ward were not turned on, so he couldn't see her expression clearly.She was silent, without saying a word, her silhouette stood there like a graceful sculpture.Her silence made him panic for no reason, and he called her almost fawningly: "Yuanyuan." Feng Yuanyuan said, "Come here." Her voice was low and without warmth. He Zisheng walked to her hospital bed in three steps at a time. Before he had time to take a closer look at her, he heard her say, "Extend your arm." He Zisheng obediently obediently stretched out his arms in front of her. Feng Yuanyuan stared at his arm for two seconds, then suddenly rolled up his sleeve, bit his arm, and bit down. She bit hard and hard, obviously hating her.He Zisheng was injured many times during the fire scene and rescue. It is not uncommon for him to be injured by falls, bruises, jams, blood dripping, and muscle and bone injuries.Feng Yuanyuan happened to have an old scar where she was bitten. It was the scar left when she rolled down the stairs while hugging a woman who committed suicide when she was rescued. A large piece of skin was cut off by debris.For this reason, Feng Yuanyuan was so distressed that she talked about it for half a month. Now, her teeth pierced the old scar with hatred. At this moment, He Zisheng believed that he had a sixth sense. He heard the sound of her heartbreaking when the teeth pierced. It was subtle and cold, like a crystal lamp falling to the ground.He hugged her into his arms, choked with sobs, and said, "Yuanyuan, I'm sorry." Feng Yuanyuan fell on his shoulder and finally cried out, "He Zisheng, I hate you to death!" Jiang Yina pushed the door open and came in, "Yuanyuan, it's time to change your medicine." His eyes froze, and he stayed on He Zisheng's bloody arm, "Oh, it seems that this medicine has to be changed for you first. Yuanyuan, you have made progress! For a guy like him who doesn’t cry until he sees the coffin, we women have to act like jackals!” On this day, Feng Yuanyuan was very indifferent to He Zisheng. Even if He Zisheng asked for leave on a special trip, she seldom smiled when he clumsily waited on him while delivering soup and water. At noon, Jiang Yina came to the ward with a newspaper in her hand and shouted, "Comrade He Zisheng, you are a hero again!" He Zisheng turned his head and saw that the large photo on the front page of the newspaper was the thrilling moment of himself on the ladder car. Feng Yuanyuan's face was cold, but she said eagerly, "What newspaper, show me." He Zisheng rolled up the newspaper, "The doctor said that it is not suitable for pregnant women to read books and newspapers now, as it will hurt their eyes." Feng Yuanyuan said, "I want to see it." Jiang Yina smoothed things over, "Don't make noise, Yuanyuan, I'll read it to you." The content of the news is not long, but the reporter's words are very skillful. It is like retelling an American action blockbuster. Let out a sigh of relief. Listen, listen, Feng Yuanyuan's face softened, and she asked He Zisheng: "You didn't come in time because of this rescue mission yesterday? Why didn't you allow me to read the newspaper just now?" He Zisheng laughed, "I'm not worried that you will be frightened after seeing the pictures and news." Feng Yuanyuan glanced at him and smiled slightly. "There is another piece of news in the lower left corner, which is very touching." Jiang Yina said. "Read it to me." Feng Yuanyuan said with great interest. "The title is "One-legged Husband Lovely Saves His Wife to Death in the Fire". It is about a one-legged husband who was about to run out of the fire when a fire broke out last night, but unfortunately died when he returned to the fire to save his pregnant wife." Jiang Yina commented while reading, "Although this husband has only one leg, he is really affectionate and the story is touching." When He Zisheng heard that Xiao Li's story was unearthed by the reporter, he couldn't help feeling a little sad.Looking back, Feng Yuanyuan was in a daze after hearing the story. Three days later, Feng Yuanyuan was discharged from the hospital safely. Although Zhou Ru was angry with He Zisheng, she did not turn against him on the spot, and directly sent a car to take Feng Yuanyuan and her little granddaughter back to her natal home for confinement. He Zisheng went back to work in the Secret Service Squadron. When he looked through the documents, he thought of his lovely daughter, and his smile was like a swollen brook, overflowing from his brows and eyes. Seeing the eyes, Li Dada thought it was funny, and asked, "What name did your daughter take?" "Jiaer, He Jiaer." "Good name, there are two 'plus' characters in the name." Li Dada praised. "Of course, my lover is a cultural person." He Zisheng was triumphant, "It happened to be born on the day before the National Day, so happiness is added to happiness, double happiness." "Oh, are your parents satisfied?" Li Dada deliberately narrowed him down. He Zisheng choked.After his daughter was born, he called to announce the good news to his family. His father was nagging on the phone, basically saying that the harvest was coming, and the family had heavy farm work, so he would not come to Jianglin to visit his daughter-in-law and granddaughter.Teacher He is naturally dissatisfied with this result, but he is a knowledgeable person, so he can't ask his son to have a second child, it's okay.He Zisheng told Feng Yuanyuan good news but not bad news, and made up a big basket of words of joy and praise, which made Feng Yuanyuan happy and didn't think about other things.Facing Li Dada, he was also stubborn, "Of course I am satisfied. Otherwise, why did you name it Jiaer? Jiaer, Jiaer. Our daughter is more precious than boys." While bragging, Li Dada squinted his eyes and made a "pause" gesture. "Suddenly—bang—", a strange voice came from outside the office building, followed by a scream of "Ah——". He Zisheng and Li Dada looked at each other. "what sound?" "It came from the direction of the training tower." The two rushed out at the same time, Yang Yong howled and ran upstairs, reporting: "Squadron leader, instructor, something serious happened! Zhanlu fell from the training tower!" He Zisheng's head exploded in two like a torpedo. Zhanlu did not fasten the safety rope during the hook ladder training, and accidentally made a mistake and fell from the 4th floor.Fortunately in misfortune, he, who has rich experience in battle, grabbed a hook ladder when he fell down, slowed down the falling speed, and saved his life, but his right leg fell into a comminuted fracture. This is a serious training safety accident. Yu Manjiang roared with cannons, scolding He Zisheng and Li Dada until they couldn't lift their heads. "According to the soldiers, Zhanlu has a bad habit of not taking safety protection measures during training. As cadres, you don't know? How do you manage it? Have you stopped and corrected it in time? Have you seriously carried out safety and accident prevention education? Have you? Really tighten the string of safety!" "Also, the detachment expressly stipulates that the cadres must be present when the training is carried out, and follow the work. Did you two follow? Where were you during the training? Where is your sense of responsibility? Don't think that you have fought a few beautiful battles, and you are arrogant. I am so angry!" "You two will definitely be punished. As for how to punish, wait for the detachment party committee to study and decide. Punishment is a small matter. Think about it. Comrade Zhanlu was originally a top business person and a key training target. He will definitely be like you, He Zisheng and you. Li Dada, he will be an instructor and squadron leader in the future. Now that he has been seriously injured, even if he is cured, it may be difficult for him to be caught in the fire. More importantly, how do you let him and his family bear such a blow! As a parent, send your son to our army, Are you trusting us? Are you worthy of them? Comrade, you are the commander of the squadron, you must take your responsibilities seriously, and you must take every word, deed, and action of the soldiers into your heart. Li Dada, is your son over 3 years old? He Zisheng , you just became a father two days ago, if you treat soldiers as your own children, safety accidents will be reduced a lot!" He Zisheng didn't argue.When Yu Manjiang's reprimand came to an end, he said: "Comrade Zhanlu's accident, as the branch secretary and squadron leader, I take full responsibility and am willing to accept all punishments from the detachment." Li Dada was in a hurry, "In the past few days, the squadron leader is absent because his lover gave birth to a child. I should be responsible for this accident." He Zisheng grabbed him and stopped him: "What is there to grab about responsibility? How long have you been in the squadron? How long have I been in the squadron? This is my problem!" He Zisheng felt guilty from the bottom of his heart.He went to the hospital to see Zhanlu.Zhanlu lay on the hospital bed, crying like a child, "Squadron leader, the doctor said that I can no longer do heavy physical work, and I am not allowed to be on fire. Tell the doctor that I must be cured, and I must be cured. Put out fires just like before!" He Zisheng was speechless. He leaned back in the corridor outside the ward and smoked the first cigarette in his life. A week later, a decision was made on the sanction of the secret service squadron safety accident. For the punishment, He Zisheng was fully prepared psychologically, and he expected to be punished with administrative demerits, even major demerits, and dismissal.However, the document in black and white that was handed down to him was completely beyond his imagination, and he couldn't accept it! "He Zisheng was directly responsible for the training safety accident. He received an administrative warning, was transferred from the special service squadron, and was transferred to the staff of the fire prevention department of the detachment." He Zisheng rushed directly into the office of the detachment leader Jiang Yun and said: "Detachment leader, you can punish me more severely, you can remove my post, and let me serve as an ordinary soldier in the special service squadron. However, I beg the party committee, Don't transfer me, I can't leave this position." Sitting behind a large desk, Jiang Yun said with a straight face, "This is the decision of the party committee. Do you think it's your turn to buy vegetables from the vegetable market? It's your turn to bargain." "This is by no means a bargain. This is a plea from a grassroots cadre. I have the right to plead against the punishment, but I waive it. I changed my plea to a plea, and the party committee must accept it!" "If the party committee doesn't accept it, what are you going to do?" Jiang Yun's tone was as hard as a rock. "I will plead to the party committee of the corps," He Zisheng said. "What if the party committee of the corps 'upholds the original verdict'?" "Then I will continue to report the situation to the Fire Department of the Ministry of Public Security, and I will not give up until the 'final judgment'." He Zisheng raised his head and said. "You have an indomitable spirit." Jiang Yun showed a smile on his tense face, picked up the phone at hand and dialed a number, "Come to my office and take your soldiers away." In less than two minutes, Yu Manjiang walked into the detachment leader's office.Jiang Yun pointed to He Zisheng and said, "Come, come, take him away, and explain to him why he was transferred to work in the fire department." He Zisheng didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Jiang Yun's gourd, so he let Yu Manjiang push him and stay where he was, refusing to move. Jiang Yun said: "Huh? You are still stubborn. Kid, it seems that you are still very immature. With your temper, it is easy to be the captain, but it is far from being a successful fire chief!" He Zisheng muttered: "I don't want to be the captain, I just want to be on the front line of fire fighting." Yu Manjiang half dragged and dragged He Zisheng to his office, first made a phone call, and then said to He Zisheng: "This time, you can treat the painstaking efforts of the detachment party committee as a donkey's liver and lungs." He Zisheng said angrily: "What painstaking effort, I have been assigned!" Yu Manjiang laughed "hehe" and said, "Do you know who made the decision to transfer you to the fire department?" "Who?" "Deputy Captain Tan of the Headquarters." Yu Manjiang said with a little mystery. "Him? Why?" He Zisheng was surprised. In his impression, he only had contact with Tan Xi twice, and he didn't seem to offend him. Yu Manjiang understood He Zisheng's expression, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Don't misunderstand. In fact, Vice President Tan appreciates you very much, so he made this suggestion to the party committee of the detachment." "Is there such an appreciation?!" He Zisheng said angrily. "Yes." Yu Manjiang looked solemn, "His original words are as follows: Comrade He Zisheng is already an excellent special service squadron leader and grass-roots fire commander. However, as a firefighter in the new era, he only knows how to put out fires. The commander of the fire scene is far from enough. After all, the policy of our firefighting work is "prevention first, combining prevention and fire prevention". This time he made a mistake and should be punished. But punishment belongs to punishment. This is also an opportunity, an opportunity for transformation The party committee of your detachment should provide him with the conditions to let him go to a new position, learn and master the fire prevention business, and then become a cadre who is fully proficient in fire prevention and fire fighting business, so that he can play a role on a broader platform.” These words left He Zisheng in a daze.He pondered for a while, still not sure, "Chief of Staff, what does the leader mean, this arrangement is for training me?" Yu Manjiang nodded, "He Zi, according to your current physical condition and fire experience, if you work as a special service squadron leader for another ten or eight years, there will be absolutely no problem with your physical strength. The problem is that with the development of society, the firefighting industry is also making great progress. We not only need an excellent fire commander like you, but also a reserve talent who is really proficient in both fire prevention and firefighting." He Zisheng was greatly encouraged by his words, "Chief of staff, I really didn't expect the chief to have such high expectations on me. My perspective and thinking are too narrow, and I was really ashamed to make a scene with the detachment leader just now." Yu Manjiang laughed, "It's not that you don't know the detachment leader, he is also straightforward. Although he is angry on the surface, he actually likes it in his heart. Who wouldn't like a subordinate who is loyal to his career?" He bowed and looked straight into He Zisheng's eyes, "However, Are you confident that you have to learn the knowledge of fire protection from scratch?" He Zisheng was not sure, and said: "I know that fire prevention work involves a very deep and wide field. To be honest, my education level is not high. I heard that the fire prevention department has recruited many local university graduates. They have a high education level. , learn things quickly, compared with them, my pressure is really great!" "How can you say that? Yu Manjiang's soldiers, no matter how big the pressure and difficulties are, they have to bite the bullet and say 'yes'!" Ren Lao pushed the door in with a smile on his face. He Zisheng hadn't seen Mr. Ren for a while, but now he was uncharacteristically depressed, his face was rosy, and he was full of energy. Yu Manjiang smiled and said: "He Zi, you may not know that since the "Fire Protection Law" was officially promulgated and implemented last month, Mr. Ren has straightened his back and is full of energy!" Mr. Ren ignored Yu Manjiang, and said to He Zisheng: "He Zi, I heard that you are going to work in the fire department? Congratulations, you have a good life, and you will catch up with the good times as soon as you come. You know, the "Fire Law" has been transferred to work in the fire department. It was officially implemented on September 1, 1998, and our firefighting work has finally entered a new stage with laws to follow, and we can roll up our sleeves and work hard." Yu Manjiang interjected, "Yes, yes, from now on, you two will be together. He Zi, hurry up and dig out all the stocks in Mr. Ren's stomach. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Elder Ren tilted his head and asked Yu Manjiang: "What do you mean hurry up and curse me to be short-lived?" Yu Manjiang stepped back again and again, smiled and waved his hands, "Don't dare." Mr. Ren snorted and said, "I didn't find Yaya, so I can't bear to see Marx." When mentioning Yaya, both Yu Manjiang and He Zisheng were silent for a moment. Old Ren spread his arms and smiled, with an open-minded expression, "Whether this matter can be found depends on fate. You see, I have let go, so don't be so dull, okay?" Coming out of Yu Manjiang's office, He Zisheng slowly walked back to the Special Service Squadron. On the way, he thought of Yaya. Whenever he thinks of her, there will always be a very subtle feeling in his heart.Over the years, he, Mr. Ren and Yu Manjiang have never given up searching.After the police dispatch, when he was on a business trip, as long as he had time and opportunity, he would definitely take out Yaya's photo and ask around.The results always disappoint him.Many well-meaning people reminded him that after too long, the girl in the photo has grown up, and this kind of tracing will not have a higher hit rate than finding a needle in a haystack. He Zisheng naturally understood this truth.Sometimes, he would think that the matter of looking for Yaya might have surpassed the concept and meaning of "finding" itself.Yaya, that 4-year-old girl, with bright and deep eyes, like a lamp in his heart, the inner flame is bright, the outer flame is orange red, burning, warming him, lighting the road, illuminating the heart...
