Then, grandma He Jiayu and Admiral Zhao Mingyuan appeared beside Feng Sizhe. "Zhe'er, you woke up. Oh, I was really scared. You slept for three days and three nights. You really scared me to death."

He Jiayu was obviously much more excited than Zhao Mingyuan. When she saw Feng Sizhe wake up, tears started to flow from her eyes. Seeing her grandson, who was still plump and white a few months ago, now with a sallow complexion and lying on the bed in a sick state, she frowned with distress.

"Old Zhao, can't you transfer Zhe'er to work with you? Why did you have to make him the deputy county magistrate? Now someone almost died. I think if anything really happens to Zhe'er, you won't even have a place to cry." He Jiayu scolded Zhao Mingyuan without mercy.

Zhao Mingyuan did laugh, "It's okay, our Zhe'er is blessed with a good life. You see, this ruthless flood couldn't even take his life. He will be fine. Besides, he fell into the water to save the people. This is an honorable thing, and it is worthy of the true character of a man of my Zhao family. I am very happy."

"You are still happy. Let me tell you, I will not let Zhe'er take risks this time. He must stay in Kyoto and stay by my side." He Jiayu looked at his wife who was still laughing there, and said a few more words unhappily.

"Okay, Mom, please say less. Xiaozhe just woke up and needs to rest. If you disturb him like this, it will be detrimental to his recovery." Zhao Lizhu, who was beside He Jiayu, stepped forward at the right time to help. In his opinion, his mother's doting at this time was really not conducive to the nephew's physical recovery.

Sure enough, after Zhao Lizhu said this, He Jiayu really kept silent. She just stared at Zhao Mingyuan with a somewhat resentful expression, as if she was still waiting for his answer.

"Okay, Lizhu, take your mother out first. Zhe'er and I want to talk about something." He ignored his wife's cold eyes. In his opinion, his wife was obviously making trouble by saying these words.

Although He Jiayu was somewhat reluctant, Zhao Mingyuan had always been the one who had the final say in the Zhao family. Now that the head of the family had spoken, it was difficult for him to refuse. He could only nod and said, "You and Zhe'er should not talk too much. He should rest more now."

"Okay, I understand." Zhao Mingyuan replied, and then looked at Feng Sizhe who was lying on the hospital bed with a kind gaze.

He Jiayu finally walked out of the ward accompanied by her daughter Zhao Lizhu, and then Zhao Mingyuan asked with concern, "How are you, Zhe'er, are you feeling better?"

"Grandpa? Why am I here? How did you know about me and come to Dahu County?" Feng Sizhe had a lot of questions to ask. He couldn't understand why his grandparents and even his aunt appeared in his ward. Didn't everyone have to go to work?

"Haha, silly boy, this is not Dahu County where you are in office. This is the Kyoto Military Region General Hospital." Zhao Mingyuan looked at Feng Sizhe and thought he was in Dahu County, so he couldn't help but laugh.

"What, what's going on?" Feng Sizhe was shocked when he heard that this was not Dahu County but Kyoto. How did he end up here?

"Haha, it was me who ordered the military transport plane to send you here. Of course, Mr. He agreed to this matter when he knew about it. After all, you fell into the water while trying to save people. This can be considered as an injury in the line of duty. Enjoying this power is not considered special." Zhao Mingyuan explained, as if he had guessed the doubts in Feng Sizhe's heart.

Then he waved his hand again, "Okay, you can ask your secretary about the specifics. He has been with you the whole time and will give you a detailed report. Now let me talk about your appointment as the Dahu County Chief. To be honest, you were able to enter Dahu County in a low-key manner and initially adopted an attitude of bearing humiliation and taking a heavy responsibility. Only after you understood the situation did you fight back. This is a very correct idea. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger. Haha, a little tolerance in exchange for future progress is a good deal."

Obviously, Zhao Mingyuan knew everything about Feng Sizhe's victory over Dahu Lake. At this moment, he began to comment on Feng Sizhe as a person who had experienced it.

From Zhao Mingyuan's perspective, of course he thinks that Feng Sizhe is not strong enough in some things. In his opinion, as long as it is for the good of the government and the people, some things can be done in a bigger step.

Of course, Zhao Mingyuan has this personality, otherwise he is suitable for the military but not for politics. Soldiers can be straightforward, but politics is more about balance. Being too radical will make you feel good, but it may not be a good thing for the event itself or the future.

Feng Sizhe only needs to know these things in his heart, and there is no need to tell everything to his grandfather. He just laughed at his grandfather's kind words, saying that he knew it. He has grown up now, so he can do some things by himself, and there is no need to ask his grandfather for advice on everything. Of course, his grandfather's intentions are good and he is sincere for his own benefit, which he is very clear about.

The grandfather and grandson chatted for a while, mostly Zhao Mingyuan talking and Feng Sizhe listening. Until He Shasha came, Zhao Mingyuan laughed and said, "Okay, I won't bother you young people. I have to go to Mr. He later and tell him that you are fine now. Haha, you can talk more with Shasha."

Hearing his grandfather's teasing, Feng Sizhe grinned indifferently, but He Shasha lowered her head. It was obvious that she was still a little uncomfortable with being joked by Zhao Mingyuan.

After General Zhao left, He Shasha slowly let go, then sat beside Feng Sizhe's bed and whispered, "Are you feeling better? I've come several times, but you were always sleeping. I saw Grandpa Zhao and Grandma He were here to watch over you, so I didn't disturb them and left first."

This was obviously an explanation for why Feng Sizhe didn't see her the first time he woke up. Obviously, she said this because she was afraid of what Feng Sizhe might think, which was enough to show that she still valued the man in front of her.

Feng Sizhe is a person who will finish what he starts. Since he chose to save He Shasha before, he will not give up easily. Listening to her explanation, he smiled and said, "I am not a petty man. Don't take it to heart. To be honest, I still feel a little confused. How did I come to Kyoto after falling into the river? Haha."

Seeing Feng Sizhe speaking so easily, He Shasha also smiled, "I heard from grandpa that it was Grandpa Zhao who called the Zhongzhou Provincial Military Region directly, and his tone was particularly affirmative. Think about it, if a general speaks, how can the people below not act quickly? Haha. This is also a manifestation of Grandpa Zhao's love for you, appreciation of you, and attention to you."

"Oh, then I wonder what Mr. He said?" Feng Sizhe asked with a smile after listening to He Shasha talking about this matter.

"My grandfather? After hearing about this, he just smiled and said, 'Well, what Crazy Zhao did was quite right and timely. A cadre who is willing to give everything for the lives of the people is a good cadre, and it is worth it to protect him like this.'" He Shasha said with a smile, imitating He Lao's appearance.

After He Shasha said this, she and Feng Sizhe both burst into laughter.

Feng Sizhe smiled. That was because he knew through He Shasha that Mr. He still admired his attitude towards him, and that was enough.

The two chatted in the room for a while until the nurse came to check on them and said it was very late and the time for visiting patients had passed. He Shasha then left reluctantly.

It was at this time that Feng Sizhe realized that he had been assigned to the high-ranking cadres' ward, where there was a strict schedule and no one was an exception. Even his secretary Zhou Xingxing was arranged to live in the family accompanying area not far away.

Knowing that he couldn't get around the hospital's iron rules, Feng Sizhe had no choice but to smile at He Shasha and said comfortingly, "Okay, you can go back. Elder He still needs your care. Don't worry about me here. You can see that I'm full of energy now and there's nothing wrong with me. Also, I'm going back to Dahu County tomorrow, so you don't have to come anymore. So, I'll go home to find you during the Chinese New Year, okay?"

Feng Sizhe didn't hate He Shasha, nor did he want to stay alone with him. It's just that he was worried about the things in Dahu County. He had been lying in bed for three days and three nights. That is to say, the floods in Dahu County and even the entire Yongyang City and Zhongzhou Province should have receded. There were still many things to deal with after the disaster, especially in agriculture. He had to go and see it in person to make the most correct decision. For this reason, he couldn't stay in Kyoto for long.

When He Shasha came here, she heard her grandfather say that Feng Sizhe was a very enterprising and ambitious man, and that as his woman, she must make choices and not hold him back. Therefore, after hearing what Feng Sizhe said, she did not react with surprise as she had imagined, but walked forward to Feng Sizhe's side, stretched out her hand and gently helped him tidy up his hospital gown, "Well, I will remember your words, and I will see you when you come back during the Chinese New Year. You must take care of yourself, and you must remember that your life no longer belongs to you alone. Grandpa Zhao, Grandma, and I all care about you very much."

Hearing He Shasha say this, Feng Sizhe was also very moved. He was moved by He Shasha's politeness. He immediately reached out and grabbed He Shasha's hand, then nodded heavily.
