FSC [QT] Chapter 190.1

“Okay, the child’s wound has healed well, and she can be discharged from the hospital.”

The doctor carefully removed the gauze and was relieved to see that the wound was healing well and there was no sign of inflammation.

“You can go through the discharge procedures for the child. If possible, come to the hospital every three or four days to change the medicine. If it is not convenient, change the medicine at the health station of your production team. Just pay attention to hygiene and avoid infection again.”

The doctor was skeptical about the barefoot doctors in the rural health station, but it was not easy to say these words, so she could only remind Xie Changzheng and his wife in a subtle way.

Xie Changzheng and Xu Chunxiu naturally would not find it troublesome and repeatedly said that they would bring the child to the county hospital on the day of changing the medicine.

When leaving, Xie Changzheng and his wife did not forget to ask the doctor about the matters that needed to be paid attention to when taking care of Ah Wu, and then they took Ah Wu away.

“Truck, big truck!”

The children in the village were playing in the small pond outside the production team. When they saw a big truck with a military license slowly approaching the village, they cheered and rushed over.

The economy here is not well-developed. There is a tractor in the production team, but that tractor is only used during the busy farming season because the diesel consumed by the tractor is precious and expensive. Most of the time, villagers go to the city using tricycles, donkey carts, or ox carts.

So, it is the first time that the children in the village have seen such a huge military truck.

Because the children were too noisy, Xie Changzheng had to get out of the car with his wife and daughter. Fortunately, they had already arrived at the production team, and the house where they would temporarily stay was only four or five minutes away.

Miao Dashan heard the noise and walked outside the village. He saw Xie Changzheng getting off the military truck with Xie Wu and his wife. He had a new assessment of Xie Changzheng’s ability.

You have to know that military trucks cannot be used casually. The fact that Xie Changzheng was able to contact the local garrison and temporarily borrow the truck for his daughter who had just recovered from an injury and was unable to move around easily was enough to prove that what Xie Changzheng said at the beginning was true.

Not only did he not become a disabled person because of his injury, on the contrary, he was likely to make further progress and have a bright future.

Such a promising younger generation can only be taught well and cannot be offended.

Miao Dashan also has selfish motives. His grandsons are almost of conscription age.

Being a soldier is popular these days. Having physical fitness but not having enough connections may not allow one to become a soldier.

If he can make friends with Xie Changzheng and ask him to help him with his connections, his grandsons’ chances of becoming soldiers will increase several more.

Miao Dashan was alert in his heart. He felt more and more sorry for the cousin’s family who was confused. If they really separated from this promising son/brother, he was afraid that the loss of the Xie family would be much greater than they imagined.

“Changzheng, do you want to let that soldier comrade come down to have a drink of water and a simple meal?”

Miao Dashan was a man who knew how to make a profit. He thought that distant water could not quench a nearby fire, so he wondered whether he should invite the soldier who was driving to stay for a meal, so as to build a better friendship with him.

“No need.”

Xie Changzheng shook his head, “The army has its own rules.”

After he spoke, he saluted the people in the car, indicating that they could return to the camp.

“Old Liu’s house is a bit shabby, but the roof has been repaired, at least it won’t leak. The bed, cabinets, tables, and chairs are all left by Old Liu. I repaired some broken furniture and it can barely be used.”

Miao Dashan waved away the children who were making a fuss and cleared a path for the soldier who was driving to reverse.

After seeing the military vehicle safely leave the village gate, he took Xie Changzheng’s family to Old Liu’s house.

“I can decide to lend Old Liu’s house to your family temporarily, but I can’t give you any more food.”

Miao Dashan looked at the somewhat dilapidated house and said with embarrassment.

“It has not been long since the food was distributed in the middle of the year. Changzheng, your food relationship has long been transferred to the military district, so I can no longer distribute your food. From now on, I am afraid that you will have to ask your mother for food for your family of three.”

This is a very practical problem. Since the Xie family has not separated, all the food is in the hands of Miao Fengmei. The food rations for the family of more than a dozen people are distributed by her alone.

According to Miao Dashan’s understanding of his cousin, the other party was probably still waiting for Xie Changzheng to bow his head and would not easily give up the food.

“I know.”

Xie Changzheng smiled bitterly at Miao Dashan, “I have to trouble you, Uncle Dashan, for this matter. Mother said before that we would be separated from the family. I am still young, so I have to ask Uncle Dashan to ask a few respected uncles to be witnesses for me.”

“After all, they are my parents, so I will not fall behind in the responsibility of supporting them. However, I am not alone now, and I have a wife and daughter to support. I don’t ask my parents to give me more of my property, but only the necessary food, pots, pans, etc., to hold on for the time being until I recover from my injury.”

Xie Changzheng’s words were well-reasoned. Even Miao Dashan, the stubborn elder who insisted on not separating the family as long as his parents were alive, could not find any fault with it.

Everyone knew that the reason why the Xie family could live in a magnificent red brick house was because of the allowances Xie Changzheng sent home, but now Xie Changzheng did not want a house or money and only wanted Xu Chunxiu and Xie Wu’s food, which could be said to be an extremely generous approach.
