Chapter 143: More Determined Not to Marry
"We have some here too. You can keep it for yourselves. Your father and I are satisfied with your kindness." Zhang Guihua was happy with her son's filial piety. She was not really interested in meat now.
"What you have is yours, and you have to accept what your son gives you out of filial piety." An Qingshun put down the meat with a smile.
Then he said to his third brother An Qingping, "I also took some for Lao Wu and Hong Yu. Third brother, you can bring it to them tomorrow."
He also gave some to his eldest brother. Today, the two children brought back almost 70 kilograms of meat, so it is only right that they share some with their brothers and sisters.
An Qingping nodded in agreement. "Okay, I was going to send him some meat anyway."
An Qingshun sat in the old house for a while and then went back. An Qingping also took the two children to the cowshed, carrying venison in his hands.
Today, An Qingping also brought back the reward that the brother and sister received for catching the human traffickers last time. It included a certificate of commendation and 30 yuan. The brother and sister divided the money as pocket money. There was also a bunch of food and daily necessities. At first, they thought that their father bought them, but after their father explained, they realized that it was not the reward, but the father of the little boy who was abducted last time.
They also learned about the little boy they met last time. His father said that the child was raised by his stepmother and his biological father often worked outside and rarely came home.
The first time, the stepmother lost the child at the market. This time, the child disappeared after going to the park and going to the toilet.
One accident is still okay, but a second accident would be something even the child’s father wouldn’t believe.
The police took it seriously when they learned that this was the second time the child had been abducted. Moreover, the child was being raised by his stepmother. The police were quite sensitive and felt that something was fishy, so they contacted the child's father directly.
The child’s biological father only found out that his child was missing after receiving the news from the Public Security Bureau. At first he thought it was a mistake, but he believed it only after the public security comrades repeatedly confirmed it was true. He hurriedly asked for leave and came back directly to the Public Security Bureau. When he saw his son eating voraciously, his eyes were red.
After learning about the situation from the police, he took the child home. His wife was eating meat alone at home and didn't seem nervous at all about the child being missing.
She panicked when she saw him with the child, but the man no longer believed her and went straight to file for divorce.
The superiors knew his situation and did not try to persuade him much, but approved the decision without hesitation. This child was lost twice in one year. No one is stupid, how could they not know what this woman is planning?
After the divorce, the child's father took gifts to the transport team where An Qingping worked, and took An Qingping to a state-owned restaurant for a meal. He expressed his gratitude to An Qingping's children and told An Qingping about his family's troubles.
It was only this time that he found out that after the child was rescued for the first time, he asked the woman to buy something to thank her, but the woman just kept the money as her own and never came to visit him.
When he came back this time, he heard that it was because of two of the children who saved his son last time. He felt very embarrassed about it, so the gifts he bought this time were all food and daily necessities for the children.
In other words, he doesn't have time. His work doesn't allow him to take too long a leave, otherwise he should have come in person.
He found a reliable old widow from the neighborhood to help take care of the child. She gave him 20 yuan a month plus the child's living expenses, and he decided to take time to come back more often every month.
After having dinner with An Qingping, he took him aside and told him that he would definitely visit his home when he had time during his next vacation. He also asked for An Qingping's home address in detail before letting him go.
An Qingping also sympathized with his experience, and at the same time he became more determined not to marry again. These women were really terrible when they became cruel, and he didn't want his children to face such a thing.
Zhang Guihua didn't know that her third son's determination not to marry was as solid as a rock. She still hoped that her son would come to his senses in a few years and get married.
After the brother and sister learned about the child's subsequent situation, they didn't pay much attention to it and lived a simple life learning hunting.
He had already received the ointment sent to Gu Chengzhi. He took the medicine and went to see his leader and told him about its effects.
"Is this medicine really that effective?" The leader suspected that he had heard it wrong. He wondered if Gu Chengzhi was joking.
"I used this medicine when I was injured during my last mission. If it works, you can ask someone to try it and see if it works."
The leader thought it made sense and asked someone to try it out. If it worked, he would report it. Then, these injured soldiers could use it in the future.
There is no need to worry about wound infection and slow healing, and bringing it with you on missions can also reduce the number of casualties.
"I'll ask the military hospital to find a few injured patients to try it out." After saying that, he picked up the phone and called the director of the military hospital. After discussing the matter with him, he asked Gu Chengzhi to take the medicine to the hospital.
The director of the military hospital agreed to give it a try for the sake of his old friend, but he didn't have much hope for the effectiveness of the medicine.
To be on the safe side, he said, "Captain Gu, do you think this will work? I'll have someone do some tests first. If there's no harm to the body, I'll try it on the soldier who was injured."
"Okay, please, Dean. I've personally tried this medicine and it scabbed over in a few days. If you get any results, please let me know. I also hope more people can use this medicine."
This piqued the Dean's interest. "Oh, you've already tried it. I'll have someone run an expedited test and arrange it soon. Don't worry, Captain Gu."
Gu Chengzhi also knew that there would be no results for a while, so he said goodbye to the dean and returned to the army, thinking that if there was no notification within a week, he would go and ask.
The director did not let us down and the test results came out the next day. After confirming that there was no problem, he arranged for it to be used.
The situation was explained to the injured person in advance. When he heard that the drug was to be tested for the hospital and that if the effect was good, it would be promoted nationwide, he agreed without hesitation.
The results were seen within a week, and the doctor in charge of follow-up was amazed at the effectiveness of the ointment.
I quickly reported the situation to the dean. The dean took a look at the patient's wound and saw obvious signs of improvement after only three days. They all studied medicine and knew at a glance that the effect was much better than the medicine they were using now.
The director quickly gave the order: "Find a few more patients to try it, and record the results. This time we might actually find something special."
The hospital here urgently arranged for several injured people to use ointment.
Soon it was the New Year's time.
At this time in the countryside, people are busy slaughtering pigs and distributing meat, buying New Year's goods, and doing the general cleaning. The adults in the family are all busy.
This year's New Year's Eve dinner was still eaten in the old house. The dishes were particularly rich. The table was full of meat dishes, including pork, fish, venison, chicken, and rabbit meat.
The whole family had the best New Year's Eve dinner they had in recent years.
