Chongxi 6 in the 1960s
Su Lan accompanied the old man and the old lady to have breakfast, and couldn't help admiring, "I didn't expect that Ruqing still has such good cooking skills. I have eaten breakfast made by the retired chef of Jin Fu Lou. I thought it was something I would eat in this life." It’s the best breakfast I’ve ever had, and I didn’t expect that the breakfasts made by Ruqing are no worse than those made by the chef.”
The old lady ate sweet but not greasy snacks, nodded and said, "My eldest grandson is blessed, and we can also share his blessings. I can see that Li Yuan's complexion is much stronger than when he just woke up." , Master Linghai is worthy of being an eminent monk. If he can calculate Ruqing, he is Liyuan's lucky star. I have become much more energetic these days. In two days, you can accompany me to the temple to fulfill my vows."
"Okay, I'll offer a few sticks of incense as well, and pay for some sesame oil." Su Lan nodded in agreement.
The three of them finished their breakfast, the helper cleared the table, and the old man stood up, ready to go for a walk.
"Ma'am, Mrs. Wen is here." A servant came in and said to Su Lan.
Su Lan froze for a moment and said, "What is she doing here?"
She used to be good friends and sisters with her, but Liyuan had an accident, and after the Wen family regretted their marriage, no one from their family came to the door. What is she doing now
"Push me back to my room to rest." The old lady said to the helper with a cold face.
The old lady didn't like the Wen family very much before, and thought that family was very hypocritical, but the daughter-in-law had a good relationship with the Wen family's daughter-in-law, and the two families got married again, so she was not easy to put on face, and was polite to them. After the Wen family repented of their marriage, she hated seeing their family even more.
She believed in Master Linghai's words so much that she did not force her son and daughter-in-law to regret their marriage, but their family proposed to regret their marriage less than a month after Liyuan's accident.
She didn't insist that they marry their children, but because of the friendship between the two families for so many years, you should wait a few months at least until the family's mood calms down before mentioning it. Are you in such a hurry to rush to sprinkle a handful of salt when someone is hurt the most
"The visitor is a guest. Our two families don't have any deep hatred, so you can entertain me." Mr. He finished speaking expressionlessly, and went out for a walk with his hands behind his back.
"Understood, Dad." Su Lan watched the old man leave, and then said to the helper, "Please come in."
Tao Yuan held He Liyuan's hand and carefully picked out the broken glass for him, "I know you feel uncomfortable. No one will feel better if you become like you. But torturing yourself is the stupidest way to vent. If you really feel If you are in pain, just sleep and vent it in your dream. In your dream, you can punch and kick, and you can vent it in whatever way you want."
"Dream?" He Liyuan curled his lips sarcastically and said, "Looking at this face, I'm afraid I won't be able to have peace in my dreams, but thanks to you facing this face, you don't have nightmares at night."
Tao Yuan glanced at him, knowing that the torment he endured in his heart is not something ordinary people can bear. If it were someone else, he would have collapsed long ago.
"If you look like this, if you let your grandparents and parents know, how uncomfortable will they feel?"
"Don't tell them, or they won't know." He Liyuan looked at Tao Yuan and said, "I don't want them to worry, so don't tell them."
"What about the bathroom mirror?"
"You help me notify the guards, I let them come over and change secretly."
Tao Yuan thought for a while and said, "I know, if you keep suppressing the pain in your heart, you will definitely suffer from depression. How about this, although your feet can't move temporarily, but your hands can still move. Take a good rest A few days, a few days later, I'll send you to the shooting range to shoot, let you vent, how about?"
"With my face, it's better not to go out and scare others." He Liyuan said.
"If you wear a mask, won't others be able to see it?" Tao Yuan said, "At that time, you can ask your soldiers to help you arrange it. When there is no one, we will go quietly. It is not difficult. "
After Tao Yuan finished speaking, he lowered his head to help him deal with the wound on his hand.
He Liyuan looked at his serious eyes and focused face, and suddenly felt less uncomfortable. With someone who cares about him and can share his worries by his side, he doesn't have to suffer alone, and he doesn't know if this is a blessing in disguise.
Su Lan stood up with a cold face, and said very bluntly, "You don't need to worry about our family's affairs. Our Liyuan's face and body are ruined, but we can still live better than others in the future. I have other things to do and I don't have time to continue entertaining you, please go back."
Li Yiyue stood up and said embarrassingly, "Su Lan, don't get me wrong. I also care about Liyuan. Our friendship for so many years, although we can no longer be in-laws, can we still be friends? Don't blame us, Who doesn't love their own children? In fact, we also love Liyuan, it's just... "
"Our family is far away, our own family is enough, and we don't need your extra distress." Su Lan raised her hand and said, "Please, if you have nothing to do in the future, don't come to the door. I can't afford you as a friend." .”
Li Yiyue pursed her lips. Over the years, she also knew what kind of character Su Lan had. She is usually a very talkative person, once she gets angry, no one will give her face.
"Then I'll go first, calm down, don't take it too seriously. I'll come back later... and see you again." Li Yiyue turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait!" Su Lan picked up the paper bag on the table, threw it back into her arms and said, "You take these medicines home, our He family does not lack these things."
"This is Wen Han's wish. The medicine in it is especially effective for treating scars." Li Yiyue said, "Just accept it. If you are angry with me, you won't be angry with the child, right?"
"I understand your intentions. There is no medicine that your Wen family can get, but our He family can't get it. Better medicine than this, our family can still get it. If we want to use it, we will use the best medicine. Yes. Just like marrying a wife, if there is no dispensable, we can still help him marry a better one."
"You mean the kid from the merchant's family?" Li Yiyue said with some disdain in her eyes, "Can he compare with our Wenhan? Our Wenhan graduated from the Military Medical College and is still working in the military hospital. The merchant's kid, Even if you have studied for a few years, but this merchant was born, what kind of good education can you have?"
"Do you think it was still a feudal dynasty? Merchants were inferior to others? Speaking of which, wasn't your natal family used to be a merchant? I have never seen someone who looked down on my birth so much."
"That happened so many years ago!" Li Yiyue dislikes people saying that she was born in a merchant. "It's not like you don't know that since my father became an official, my natal family is no longer a merchant!"
"Hmph!" Su Lan snorted coldly, "I don't care if your natal family is a merchant or not. Whether you love her or not has nothing to do with me. Our daughter-in-law is good, as long as we know it ourselves, we don't need you to worry about it. With Wen Han's personality in your family, after marrying into the Ning family, it's not certain whether he can live a good life. The future will be long, let's go and see."
"Okay, let's go and see, your He Liyuan, and our Wen Han, who will have a better life in the future!" Li Yiyue turned around and left with anger.
Li Yiyue felt that if she had endured her for so long, it was fine if she didn't give her a good face, but she even talked about their family Wenhan. No matter how bad Wenhan's family is, is it not as good as that merchant's child? Besides, their Wenhan is one in a million, and how many people want to ask for marriage. He Liyuan is half disabled, his face is ruined, his body is also ruined, what good life can he have in the future
Li Yiyue didn't want to lose Su Lan as a friend. After all, the He family is very powerful. As long as Mr. He is around, no one else can shake the He family's status. But she is not an angry personality, she has been so submissive in front of Su Lan, if she still doesn't give her a good face, then forgive her for not serving her.
Su Lan used to think that Li Yiyue just loves to show off and gossip about other people's right and wrong, but she still has a good heart, that's why she has been friends with her for so many years. But when she came to mention the dissolution of the engagement, she kept saying things that cursed Liyuan, and she was afraid that Liyuan would hurt Wenhan. In Su Lan's heart, it was like a bloody wound, and she was stabbed a few more times.
The two have been friends for so many years, even if she doesn't mention the dissolution of the engagement, Su Lan is ready to mention it. But there is no mother who can endure others cursing her child, and it is still when her child is dying. And what she said just now was a bit ugly.
Su Lan also knew that in the family area of the military region, everyone envied her for having a good son and a good husband's family. But now, there must be many people watching the joke in secret, even if there are those who don't read the joke, they sympathize with her and pity her. However, she doesn't need anyone's pity, she believes that her son will be fine in the future.
After Su Lan calmed down her anger and regained her emotions, she turned and went to the building in the middle of the mansion to see He Liyuan.
When Su Lan knocked on the door and went in, Tao Yuan just came out of the bathroom.
"Mom." Tao Yuan and He Liyuan greeted her.
Su Lan smiled at Tao Yuan, then sat by the bed, looked at He Liyuan and asked, "How do you feel today? Is it still in pain?"
"It hurts a little, but it's bearable." He Liyuan's current physical condition is in pain all the time, but the pain is better occasionally. If he hadn't been able to bear it and had enough perseverance, an ordinary person might not be able to bear such pain.
So when he was sent to the military region hospital, the doctors told the He family that it would be better for him to be in a temporary coma. Otherwise, being tortured by pain will be even more detrimental to recovery.
"Mom." Tao Yuan said to Su Lan, "The mirror in the bathroom needs to be replaced."
He Liyuan looked at him sharply.
"Change the mirror? Why, is the mirror broken?" Su Lan asked suspiciously.
He Liyuan stopped him with his eyes, telling him not to continue.
Tao Yuan ignored his gaze and continued, "Brother Liyuan secretly went to the bathroom, stood up by himself, and broke the mirror with his fist."
"You stood up?! Didn't the doctor tell you that you can't try to stand up now?!" Su Lan stared at him, her eyes gradually turned red, "You child! Why are you so disobedient?! You want to Do you want to kill your mother?!"
"I, I didn't use the strength of my feet, I used the strength of my hands to support my body to stand up." He Liyuan quickly explained that he was most afraid of his mother crying, and every time his mother cried, he wanted to hide, but Now, I can't hide even if I want to.
"Don't you need your feet to touch the ground with your hands?" Tao Yuan said, "When I went in to see you, both of your legs were on the ground, and you even stepped back and sat in a wheelchair."
"Why are you so uneasy?!" Su Lan wept and beat his shoulder with her hands.
"I..." He Liyuan didn't know what to say. With such strength, hitting him was like scratching an itch. He was just worried that she hurt his hand.
Su Lan knew that he had seen her face, and knew that he was definitely not feeling well. Thinking of Li Yiyue's hurtful words, she couldn't help crying while hugging him.
He Liyuan looked at Tao Yuan, he didn't expect him to sue his mother, he told him, he didn't want his parents to worry.
Tao Yuan stared at him without hesitation, he just wasn't used to him hurting himself, and didn't want his parents to worry, so don't do things that would worry them.
Tao Yuan knew that he was in great pain, but he would never allow him to harm himself, so from now on, he should cut off his thoughts of self-harm. What's more, these pains are only temporary, whether it's his face or his feet, he will help him heal.
There is still a long time to go in his military career, he must let him cherish his body from now on. Because from now on, it is no longer his personal body, it is their common property.
