They had breakfast outside, strolled around, bought vegetables at the farmer's market, and Zeng Minfang bought two sets of clothes and shoes for her sister and brother-in-law each in the department store, as well as some miscellaneous small items. She also went to the General Military Hospital to inquire about Zhao Dongming's condition.

It was almost ten o'clock when Zeng Minfang returned home. She opened the door and saw Lin Wei sitting in the yard with her child in her arms, fanning herself in the cool breeze. She said with a smile, "Lin Wei, why are you here?"

"I heard you were pregnant, so I came to see you."

Lin Wei had just asked the guards at home to send her and her son over. She stood up holding her son and smiled kindly at Zeng Minlan and her husband: "Sister Zeng, brother-in-law, hello, I'm Lin Wei, from next door."

"Hello, Dr. Lin." Zeng Minlan heard about her story from her sister last night.

Peng Jinsong strode in and said to her, "Lin Wei, Guanglei and Rongyan are back for lunch."

"Huh? They'll be back?" Lin Wei didn't answer the call. "Why would they be back today? It's not time for the holiday yet."

"Zhao Dongming was seriously injured, so they asked for leave to come back to see him."

Peng Jinsong told her about his situation. "We just went to the Military General Hospital. He is out of danger. He woke up once at dawn today, but he is still under observation in a special ward. It will take at least two or three days before he can be transferred to a regular ward."

Since the day she married a soldier, Lin Wei had prepared herself mentally. She was also a doctor, so she had a much stronger psychological endurance for such things. She asked, "Will Sister He Ye come over? When will she arrive?"

"She's coming here on today's train. We don't know exactly when she'll arrive yet. Let's wait for her call."

"As long as the person is alive, the wound can be healed slowly."

Lin Wei brought a lot of food today and put them all in the kitchen. She said to Zeng Minfang, "Minfang, I just bought chicken, duck, and pork, as well as some oil, salt, and vegetables distributed by my parents-in-law's work unit. We can't finish them at home, so I brought some over. My sister and brother-in-law came from afar, and Guanglei and the others will also come back for dinner, so cook more meat dishes for lunch."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements."

Zeng Minfang had just washed her hands. She came over to look at the little boy Xu Jie, who was sleeping with his eyes squinting. She tapped his chubby face and said, "Xu Baobao, wake up. Your dad is coming back."

"During the confinement period, Baobao slept all the time except when drinking milk. I couldn't wake him up. My mother-in-law said she had never seen a child who could sleep so well." Lin Wei smiled.

"Sleep well and grow fast." Zeng Minfang has experience.

"That's right. He sleeps every day and has indeed grown very fast. He has grown five centimeters taller and more than five kilograms in weight."

Zeng Minfang chuckled and patted Bao Bao's little butt. "Little Baozi, you are growing up like Xiao Tuanzi. He also sleeps well, eats well, grows fast, and is much taller than other children of the same age."

"This child is raised so well." Zeng Minlan also came to see the child.

"Xiao Tuan Tuan and Xiao Bao Bao are the apples of their grandparents' eyes. They are taken care of very carefully at home and both are doing very well."

While the women looked after the children, Peng Jinsong asked his eldest brother-in-law for help. The two of them slaughtered all the chickens and ducks that Lin Wei brought. After they finished this, they drove to the school to pick up the two brothers.

Ren Rongyan and his team went to the General Military Hospital first, and happened to see Zhao Dongming waking up. They told the doctor about the situation, changed their clothes, and entered the special ward to meet him and talk.

They said a lot of encouraging words to him. Before leaving, Ren Rongyan whispered in his ear and said something that only he could hear: "Dongming, you won't become disabled. I will get you some good medicine and give it to you after a while."

Zhao Dongming heard every word he said clearly, and a light flashed in his tired eyes.

Ren Rongyan nodded to him imperceptibly and patted his hand gently, "Just focus on healing and don't think about anything else. Wait for me to come over next time."

Zhao Dongming pursed his lips, and a thousand words were expressed without words.

They couldn't stay in the special ward for too long, so after they came out, they had a detailed talk with the chief physician, made all the requests they should have, and finally asked the doctors and nurses to take good care of him.

When the three of them returned home, lunch was ready and everyone sat in the spacious yard eating melon seeds and chatting.

Xu Guanglei came into the house and greeted Wang Erping and his wife, then immediately took his wife to the room to check on their sleeping baby son, "Xu Baobao, Dad is back."

Xu Baobao was about to wake up, his limbs were moving around, but his eyes were still closed, and his face had a lot of small expressions and movements.

"You lazy little pig."

Xu Guanglei touched his butt habitually, and seeing that the diaper was dry, he patted his little butt gently, "It's time to eat, get up and eat."

"It's time to get up and eat. I've been sleeping for two hours after drinking milk."

Ren Rongyan followed in and took a look, then said, "You guys feed Bao Bao first, I'll go bring some food to Luo Luo."

"Okay, go ahead."

At noon today, I stewed a pot of chicken soup, braised a whole duck, and made two meat dishes and two cold vegetables. Ren Rongyan took a bowl and filled it with half a bowl of rice and picked up more of the various dishes. After he finished packing, he immediately drove to deliver the meal to his wife.

Ji Luo had actually finished her meal in the cafeteria. When he brought over the delicious dishes, she had another meal and urged him to go home for dinner.

When Ren Rongyan came back, everyone was sitting at the table waiting. Xu Baobao had finished her milk and was being held in Xu Guanglei's arms. She was looking around with her eyes open, a rare moment of clarity as she looked at the outside world.

"Have a meal."

Peng Jinsong shouted, and everyone immediately picked up their bowls and chopsticks and started eating.

Zeng Minfang gave two large chicken legs to Lin Wei and her elder sister, and two duck legs to Wang Erping and Kangzi, and said with a smile: "Thank you Guanglei and Dr. Lin for contributing delicious dishes today."

Xu Guanglei smiled, picked up the beer on the table, and toasted the guests who came from afar, "Come on, Brother Erping, Sister Minlan, welcome to be our guest, have a drink."

"Come on, a toast."

Ren Rongyan also raised his glass and toasted the guest. After drinking it in one gulp, he said, "Sister Minlan, you can stay at home with peace of mind. My wife and cousin are usually busy and don't even have time to cook. I'm sorry to trouble you to help cook for us during this period. If you need anything, just tell us."

"Also, Brother Erping, I heard from Jinsong about your job. You can work in the warehouse first to get familiar with the environment in Kyoto. When there is an easier and better position in the future, we will arrange it for you."

"Sister Minlan, please take care of Minfang for the time being. My wife is planning to open a restaurant. It is already under renovation and is expected to open in early October. If Sister Minlan has any ideas, she can go to work in the restaurant. The salary and benefits will not be worse than those in state-owned restaurants."

Wang Erping and his wife quickly stood up and thanked him: "Comrade Ren, thank you so much."

"Don't be so polite, sit down and eat quickly."
