After dinner, Zhou Shuping and her daughter began to argue about who would stay and look after Han Dong that night.
Han Ting said that her mother had high blood pressure and must get enough rest and not be overworked. Zhou Shuping said that her son-in-law Dong Zecheng was away on a business trip and she was worried about leaving her grandson in the care of a nanny, so she insisted that Han Ting go home.
Han Ting said that there were surveillance cameras at home so she could check at any time and there was no need to worry. Zhou Shuping said that it was normal for a mother to be tired from taking care of her son.
Han Jianguo was calm and composed, turning a deaf ear to everything. Shuping always had the final say on small matters at home, and he was the one who made the decisions on big matters.
Han Dong felt helpless after hearing this. He felt that even pretending to be dead would not bring him peace.
"Aunt, sister, stop arguing. Let me take care of Han Dong tonight!" Jiang Xinyan said.
Zhou Shuping said, "How can I feel embarrassed about that?"
But there was a big smile on his face.
"Aunt, it's okay. I'm a doctor! I'm used to working the night shift. Even if I rest at home, I'm always on call. It's better for me to stay here and feel at ease."
"Then... thank you for your hard work." Zhou Shuping readily agreed and was very happy about it. It was her duty to take care of her boyfriend!
Han Dong almost jumped up and said, Mom, you can't sell your son like this.
I only heard the eldest sister say, "No, no, Mom, Xinyan escorted Han Dong all the way back. Once she got here, she was busy all the time. She was already very tired. How can you have the nerve to trouble her again?"
Han Dong breathed a sigh of relief, luckily his elder sister saved him.
When Zhou Shuping heard this, it seemed to be the case, so she said, "That's right, Xinyan, you should have a good rest today, and I will trouble you later. I will do it tonight."
"I come."
The mother and daughter started arguing again. Jiang Xinyan stood aside and looked at Han Ting thoughtfully. Han Ting seemed very warm to her on the surface, but it seemed that Han Ting was always intentionally or unintentionally blocking her from getting close to Han Dong.
Did Han Dong say something to Han Ting
Just then, a tall man knocked on the door and came in: "Excuse me, is Captain Han Donghan in this ward?"
Look at this man. He is wearing a black T-shirt and army green casual pants. He has a short flat head, an upright posture, and bright eyes. You can tell at first glance that he has been a soldier. He is also carrying a travel bag in his hand.
"You are..." Han Ting asked.
"Oh, my name is He Tong. Han Dong used to be my captain. I have retired. I heard that he was injured and transferred to the hospital, so I came to take care of him. Look, I have brought my luggage with me." He Tong said.
Han Jianguo felt friendly when he saw someone who had served in the army: "Young man, come in."
He Tong raised his head and chest, gave a standard salute, and said with full energy: "Hello, uncle."
As the captain's father, it should be right to salute!
"The young man is good. He still maintains his military character even after retiring." Han Jianguo praised.
"Thank you, uncle."
"He Tong, you're here!" Han Dong spoke weakly.
"Captain, how did you get injured like this?" He Tong felt so sad when he saw that his tiger-like captain was so weak that he looked like he would die at any time.
It is difficult for people who have never served in the military to understand the sincere and deep friendship between comrades-in-arms, especially for special forces soldiers, who are willing to trust their lives to each other.
Han Dong smiled weakly: "It's normal to be injured! I'm glad you can come."
"Of course, Captain. Don't worry, I will take good care of you until you are discharged from the hospital." He Tongdao.
Han Dong glanced at his father, who seemed to have aged again, with a lot of white hair and a few more wrinkles on his face. He was filled with emotion: "Dad, Mom, Sister, you all go back, it's good to have He Tong here."
Without waiting for Zhou Shuping to speak, Han Jianguo said, "He Tong, Han Dong will be handed over to you."
He Tong stood at attention and saluted, saying loudly: "I guarantee to complete the mission."
Now there is no need to argue.
"He Tong, thank you for your hard work." Zhou Shuping said.
"It's not hard. It's what I should do. Don't worry, Auntie."
Jiang Xinyan took out the pen in her chest pocket and wrote down her phone number for He Tong: "He Tong, I'm Doctor Jiang. I'm the surgeon in charge of Han Dong's surgery. If Han Dong feels uncomfortable at night, please call the nurse and notify me immediately."
Jiang Xinyan knew that her hope of taking care of Han Dong was dashed. With He Tong around, she had no chance to intervene, so she could only settle for the next best thing. But she didn't even know when Han Dong arranged for He Tong, so she really didn't give him any chance at all.
"Okay, Dr. Jiang." He Tong felt that Dr. Jiang Xinyan was very responsible.
After everyone left, Han Dong asked He Tong to sit down. He was no longer half dead, and asked, "You said you would take care of me until I'm discharged?"
He just asked Yang Fan to contact He Tong. He Tong was close to Shengzhou and was a policeman. He wanted He Tong to help find someone to take care of him. He needed someone he could trust by his side, otherwise Jiang Xinyan would repeat her old tricks and serve him directly as his girlfriend. His mother, who had decided that Jiang Xinyan was her daughter-in-law, would not only be happy to see it happen, but would also add fuel to the fire. By then, he would not be able to explain himself.
He is lying down now and cannot move. He has no control over himself and has to be on guard!
But I didn’t expect He Tong to come here on his own and say that he would take care of him until he was discharged from the hospital.
"Yes! As soon as I received Yang Fan's call, I was so anxious that I immediately quit my job, packed up and rushed here."
"You quit your job? Can you police officers just quit your job whenever you want?" Han Dong was stunned.
He Tong scratched his head embarrassedly: "Captain, don't be angry if I tell you the truth. After I recovered and went home, I went to the police station to be a policeman, but my mother refused to agree. She said that since I joined the special brigade, she has been living in fear every day and was scared to death. If I become a policeman again, she will definitely not live for a few days. Captain, you also know that my father passed away early, and it was my mother who raised me. I didn't take good care of her, so... I didn't report to the police station. In the past two years, I have been helping my uncle's company, doing miscellaneous work."
Han Dong understood, and felt sorry for the parents: "Your choice is not wrong, but you resigned, does your mother know?"
"My mother knows. I told her that our captain was seriously injured and needed someone to take care of him. My life was saved by the captain. My mother told me to go there quickly and take good care of the captain. She also insisted that I bring you some supplements."
"Auntie, you are so polite. When I am discharged from the hospital, I will go back with you to see you."
He Tong looked at the captain again and again.
"What? Is there something on my face?" Han Dong felt uneasy when he looked at me.
"No, captain, you seemed to be seriously injured before, but now you seem to be in good spirits." He Tong said with a smile.
Han Dong laughed: "I'm just pretending because I'm afraid of listening to their nagging."
