The newly married reborn cold-faced boss dotes on his delicate wife

Zhang Hongxiang and Jiang Tingxia went home together. When they arrived at the door of their house, Zhang Hongxiang said to the distraught Jiang Tingxia, "You must be scared. Go back and wash your face and have a rest."

Jiang Tingxia nodded and went back.

After washing all the plates and bowls used for lunch, Jiang Tingxia washed his face and lay down to sleep.

She finally managed to fall asleep, but had a nightmare. Her ears were filled with the screams of the wounded, they were covering their arms and legs, crying and shouting in pain, with blood and tears on their faces. Jiang Tingxia was suddenly awakened, and it was already dark outside the window.

Jiang Tingxia slowly came back to her senses. The sweat on her head gradually cooled down and she was shivering with cold.

She realized that no matter what the Jiang family was like, she had grown up in a wealthy and comfortable environment for the first half of her life, so when she witnessed this accident with her own eyes, she was instantly frightened, and at the same time, she had a new understanding of the world.

Just like flowers in a greenhouse, they suddenly discovered that this world not only has warm sunshine, but also strong winds, rainstorms, lightning and thunder.

Is this change a good thing or a bad thing?

Jiang Tingxia slept for too long and her limbs were numb. She walked out of the house and walked around the yard twice.

Zhang Hongxiang from next door also went out and poured a basin of foot washing water into her yard.

She saw Jiang Tingxia walking around in the yard, and when she came to the fence between the two houses, she said, "You don't have to wait for them to come back."

Seeing that she misunderstood that she was waiting for Li Changpu to come back, Jiang Tingxia explained, "I'm not waiting for anyone. I'm just walking around in the yard."

Zhang Hongxiang knew that the newlyweds were shy, so she didn't expose them. She continued, "Such a big thing happened today. They won't be back for a while. I guess they sent the person to the county hospital. I'll keep him there for a few days."

Jiang Tingxia didn't know what he was thinking, he just said "oh".

Zhang Hongxiang added, "I remember that Captain Li hasn't been on a mission since you got married."

Without waiting for Jiang Tingxia's response, Zhang Hongxiang continued, "At the beginning, I was the same as you. When Lao Zhao went out for a few days, I couldn't eat or sleep well. When he came back with some injuries, I cried my heart out. I was afraid that something would happen to him and leave our whole family behind." Zhang Hongxiang said these words with a calm expression on her face. "It's their fate as soldiers to go out and fight hard, and it's our fate as family members to worry about them. Slowly, we will get used to it."

Zhang Hongxiang didn't look at Jiang Tingxia anymore as she spoke. She seemed to be talking to Jiang Tingxia, but also seemed to be talking to herself. "Today is pretty good. You can still guess where he went and what he did. Sometimes, he would just pack up and leave without letting me know. Sometimes, he would eat at home in the morning, but not come back at noon. His meal is still cooking in the pot, but you don't know where he went or when he will come back. But, you have to cook for him every meal from now on. You have to make sure he has a hot meal when he comes back."

"You'll know later."

In the gray-blue sky, Jiang Tingxia stared at the twinkling stars thoughtfully.

She slept alone at night. Li Changpu was not there, so there was no need to draw the curtains on the kang. But as soon as she turned off the lights, the room was pitch black. A feeling of fear enveloped her heart, and Jiang Tingxia quickly turned on the light again.

With the light, it’s not so scary, but today happens to be a thunderstorm day.

There was a rumble of thunder outside the window, a few flashes of lightning flashed, the lights went out, and the house was filled with darkness again.

The voltage here is unstable and there are frequent power outages at home, so Li Changpu will light kerosene lamps or candles.

Jiang Tingxia had never done these things before, and didn't know where those things were. She could only grope slowly in the dark and finally found the box. She lit a match and with the faint light, she took a lot of effort to find the candle.

The candle was lit, and there was a ball of warm yellow light in the room. She walked back holding the candle, placed this only light not far from her side, sat on the kang, and quietly watched the flickering flame.

However, the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, as if there was a hole in the sky. Suddenly, there was a bang, and Jiang Tingxia screamed. She found that it was the strong wind and heavy rain that had blown the window open. The blue-green curtains were immediately wet and were swaying wildly in the wind.

The candle was also blown out by the wind.

What's worse is that the rain came in through the broken glass, first wetting the windowsill, and then floating on Jiang Tingxia's body and face with the wind.

Jiang Tingxia had no choice but to half-close his eyes, endure the wind and rain, crawl to the edge of the kang, and raise his hand to close the glass window.

With just this one movement, her face was already covered in rain, and her wet hair stuck to her face, feeling cold and sticky.

That night, Jiang Tingxia didn't know how he got through it.

When she heard a few birds singing outside the window, she woke up in a daze. She looked out the window and saw that the sky was finally bright and the wind and rain had stopped.

……

County Hospital

Zhao Yong stood by the sink, patted Li Changpu, looked at his red eyes, and said with some worry, "You didn't sleep all night? Why don't you take a nap?"

Li Changpu shook his head, looking worried and exhausted. "Zhang Ming's condition is not good. I called several hospitals. The doctor at the Beijing Hospital said that he is somewhat certain, but he can't move now. I have to go and invite the expert back to perform surgery on him."

Zhao Yong knew that this matter was not as easy as Li Changpu said, and hesitantly asked, "Can you really invite someone?"

He's a doctor from the Kyoto Hospital. Kyoto is so far away. I'd be at a loss if I go there. I wonder how much effort and favors I'd have to put in to get this done?

Li Changpu scooped up a handful of cold water and splashed it on his face. "It has to be done no matter what. Zhang Ming is so young. If his legs are sawed off, he won't be able to serve in the army anymore. The rest of his life will be ruined."

Li Changpu wiped his face twice with his hands and became more energetic. "I'm leaving now. This matter cannot be delayed."

Zhao Yong nodded and gave him all the money and tickets he had on him.

Li Changpu took it and told Zhao Yong, "Find someone to go to my house and tell her the news. Also, I won't be home for the next two days, so ask your sister-in-law to go over and take care of her."

Zhao Yong nodded, "Don't worry."

Zhao Yong came back, and Jiang Tingxia only then knew that Li Changpu had gone to Kyoto. She asked Zhao Yong, "What else did he say?"

Seeing Jiang Tingxia's expression, Zhao Yong thought he had missed some important information. He then thought carefully about the scene when Li Changpu talked to him before leaving. Finally, he confirmed that he really didn't say anything, and then he answered, "No."

Jiang Tingxia thought about the heavy rain last night and how she had stayed there all night in fear without crying. But now, listening to Zhao Yong's words, she felt so sad that her nose was sore.

It was raining so hard, but he didn't care whether he was doing well or not.

There was no word on when he would return.

Seeing Jiang Tingxia looking like she was about to cry, Zhao Yong signaled Zhang Hongxiang to say something. Zhang Hongxiang quickly changed the subject, "Old Zhao, go check the light bulb. Why isn't it on? Did the wire get burned out during the power outage yesterday?"

When Zhao Yong heard what Zhang Hongxiang said, he felt like he had found a savior. He took the tools and went to fix the light bulb. He ran very fast, fearing that Jiang Tingxia would burst into tears the next second. Zhao Yong thought to himself that Lao Li's wife had been married for so long, but she was still so pretentious. He didn't know how he served this ancestor at home.
