In the special care ward, Zhang Haichao sat on the bed by the head of the bed, his left leg was fixed with a fixed shelf, he was holding an apple and gnawing on it, and Su Xiaobing was sitting on the edge of the bed and also holding an apple to nibble, gossiping with him, and laughing from time to time.

Li Mu walked in.

Su Xiaobing hurriedly got up and swallowed the apple in his mouth, "Boss." ”

"Lao Li, here. Zhang Haichao said with a smile.

Su Xiaobing said, "I'll go prepare lunch." ”

Li Mu walked over and sat down, Zhang Haichao pointed to the apple on the bedside table and said, "Whole one." ”

Shaking his head, Li Mu said, "According to what you mean, I didn't tell your parents about this. ”

"What does this say. They didn't know I was in Lunan. Zhang Haichao said, looking at his legs, "Besides, it's not lame, it's a steel plate, and it can recover in two or three years." ”

Li Mu smiled and pointed to his left leg, "The steel plate I have here is still there, and it was broken twice." It's also interesting to say, since the steel plate was hit, I have gained a lot of weight. ”

"Hahaha, you can still laugh. Zhang Haichao laughed and ate the apple in a few bites.

Li Mu took a tissue and handed it to him.

Zhang Haichao wiped his mouth and said, "Ah Mu, I'm fine, I have been mentally prepared for breaking my hands and feet, I am not the first day to do this business, and I am mentally prepared for any result." Your choice was correct, and if you had sent rescue to bring me back at the first time, I would probably resent you. ”

Slowly shaking his head, Li Mu said, "You can't be a sniper anymore, it's me who ruined your future." ”

"I really don't agree with that. Zhang Haichao said solemnly, "Amu, you and I are sitting face to face now, we are old friends, out of this door, you are a deputy military leading cadre." I don't know much about your past, but I can imagine that compassion is soft-heartedness, and it shouldn't be something you should have. ”

Many people understand the same truth, what Li Mu can't get over is still the hurdle in his heart, how easy is it?

Li Mu took a deep breath and said, "What are you going to do next?"

Zhang Haichao smiled and said, "Go back to another job." I thought about it, it's not a bad thing, maybe my military career is destined to end like this. While you are still young, go back to the place and fight again. Don't you often say that loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve. You see, I now have the opportunity to do my filial piety. ”

Li Mu never thought that Zhang Haichao had the idea of retiring, he said, "It's not to that extent, you just aren't suitable to be a front-line sniper, but sniper instructors are no problem, or other military management positions." I will transfer you back to Lunan and work here, so as not to delay your filial piety. ”

Zhang Haichao shook his head and said, "Amu, you know, when I was conscripted into the army, I went to the special forces sniper, and it hasn't changed over the years." You asked me to go to another position, I didn't have that mind. Instead of taking a position, it is better to leave it to someone more suitable. ”

Speaking of this, he smiled and said, "Besides, I'm thirty-two, and I haven't seen my girlfriend's shadow, you have to give me a chance to find a girlfriend to talk about love, get married, and have children, I can tell you, my mother has been talking about it for several years, if she knows that you forced me to stay in the army, she can beat you with a broom." ”

"Hahaha!"

Li Mu remembered the naughty childhood, the innocent era when the two of them caused trouble everywhere.

The two laughed and talked about things when they were young for a while.

Zhang Haichao slowly became serious and said, "Ah Mu, I have already decided, don't persuade me anymore." But I really have something for you to help me with. ”

Li Mu's nose was sour, he couldn't help crying, and said with a smile, "You kid, say, what's the matter." ”

"Of course, it's to contact me with a good unit, I don't plan to do business, it's better to mix in the system. Zhang Haichao said as a matter of course.

Li Mu smiled and said, "It's a big deal." Public security, procuratorate and law, municipal party committee and municipal government, water, electricity and oil, banks, shipping, railways and aviation, you pick one, I will do it. ”

yes, what a big deal.

He, Li Mu, personally came forward to contact a cadre of the Lieutenant Colonel Regiment to contact the receiving unit for demobilization, which unit dared not accept it?

"Oh yes, you're a lieutenant colonel, you've been promoted ahead of schedule, and you've also come down with first-class merit. Such a talent is rushed by everyone. Li Mu said.

Zhang Haichao was taken aback, "Ah Mu, you are playing the piano indiscriminately, it is completely out of line." ”

"Rules, Lao Tzu's words are rules. In front of Fa Xiao, Li Mu was rare to be domineering.

Zhang Haichao shook his head with a wry smile, "Yes, I also enjoy a super-standard treatment." ”

"Don't give me a false one, which unit to go to, do you want to think about it first and discuss it with your family?" Li Mu said.

Zhang Haichao said, "I have thought about it a long time ago, and there will be no opinions at home." Go to the city hall and continue to serve the people. ”

Li Mu didn't think about it, and said, "Okay, I'll definitely arrange it for you." You don't have to worry about this matter, including the formalities, I'll handle it. ”

"Of course, you can do it, and I will keep it with peace of mind. Zhang Haichao said as a matter of course.

At this time, Su Xiaobing came in with a small cart, and this thing actually brought a bunch of dishes, all of which were other dishes that were helpful to Zhang Haichao's injury according to the doctor's instructions.

Zhang Haichao said helplessly, "Xiao Su, you can simply move the canteen here." ”

"Hey, hey. Su Xiaobing smiled, "Brother Chao, don't say it, I really thought about going out to find a five-star chef to make a meal for you to try the taste." ”

Li Mu rolled up his sleeves and said, "Don't talk nonsense, open up." ”

Su Xiaobing hurriedly arranged it, Zhang Haichao couldn't move, and the three of them basically sat around the hospital bed, holding a rice bowl full of rice and began to feast.

Zhang Haichao's appetite is very good.

The three of them talked and laughed while eating, and they were very happy.

Li Mu chatted with Zhang Haichao until four o'clock in the afternoon, and before leaving, he said to Zhang Haichao, "Haichao, I will be in Lunan for a period of time in the future, and it may be a long time." I have only one request for you. ”

"You say, I promise you. Zhang Haichao said.

Li Mu said, "If you have something, you must find me." ”

"Roger!" Zhang Haichao smiled and saluted.

Li Mu took a deep breath, "Take care of your injuries." ”

Seeing Li Mu and Su Xiaobing leave, when Li Mu walked to the door, he turned around and explained, Zhang Haichao waved his hand, "Understood, don't mother-in-law, busy with your going." ”

Li Mu strode out along the corridor, his pace was so big and fast that Su Xiaobing didn't get used to it for a while, and trotted to keep up. When he got outside, Su Xiaobing ran over to pick up the car, and inadvertently saw Li Mu's eyes red and tears in his eyes.

In the ward, Zhang Haichao was dumbfounded, completely different from before.

He slowly lay down, pulled up the quilt and covered it, slowly covering his head.

The nurse walked in with the medicine and heard an indescribable man's suppressed cry, and she was trembling at the sight of the wounded man on the bed covering his head with a quilt. He must have wanted to cry out loud, but he was a man, an iron warrior, and he couldn't shed tears, even if he couldn't control it, and he couldn't let others see it, let alone let others hear it.

Can't cry.

But he still cried, crying like a child who had been wronged.

The nurse stood motionless, for fear of disturbing some god—what could make such a man of steel, so badly wounded, still laughing and laughing, cry like this.

Those eventful years have come to an end.
