CHAPTER 928: CHAPTER 627: STRANGELY KIND

The sister-in-law’s advice finally brought a gap in the mood of Zhang’s Wife, who showed a hint of a smile on her face: "If it’s as you said, that would be wonderful.

But Erniu must be anxious, the telegram will only arrive tonight, that child is definitely worried about us. Ah, what was supposed to be a great thing ended up like this."

"It’s not what you wanted, let’s look at the bright side. Maybe this time, big brother’s minor injury avoided a disaster, and good days are ahead." Zhang Limei said while looking at Zhang Lizhu, "Big brother, do you think what I said makes sense?"

"Hmm, it makes sense. They say a little loss can prevent a disaster, so my minor injury is like avoiding a disaster."

"This is not a small injury, it takes a hundred days to heal bones and muscles."

"I’m fine." Zhang Lizhu waved his hand, "I’m strong, at most in a month, I can follow to earn work points. By then, the weather will be warmer, more movement will surely help healing faster."

"Big brother, when will you change your restless nature?" Zhang Limei looked at her big brother helplessly, "Even if you’re strong, you can’t recover in just a month.

Anyway, I’m firmly against it. When I came, mom also said to let you rest and recover peacefully. The second and fourth brothers will help with the chores at home, and I’ll also help when I have time.

As for the work points issue, we can all give a bit, it will definitely cover for you and sister-in-law’s living, and besides, sister-in-law can also earn some work points.

Big brother, you must not be stubborn this time, this is a lifelong matter. If you don’t recover well, when you’re older, you won’t be able to live your life.

Think about it, when Da Bao gets married and your body is constantly in pain, won’t you feel bad for not being able to help him? So big brother, you should think like this: lying down for three months is for being healthy and strong for the next thirty years."

Zhang’s Wife quickly agreed: "Limei is right, you shouldn’t rush to work. If you care about us, you must take your body seriously."

"You two are really in sync." Zhang Lizhu handed the lunchbox to his wife, "I’m not hungry today, you and Limei can finish it."

There were only two buns in total, he ate half, and given he’s strong even after being hurt, it’s unlikely he’d have such a small appetite. Unsatisfied, Zhang’s Wife put the lunchbox back in his hands: "If you want to recover quickly, eat well. I’m really not hungry, lunchtime is coming soon, I’ll eat more then."

"How could you not be hungry?" Zhang Lizhu looked at his wife helplessly, "Do you think you’re made of iron? How about I eat this half, and you and Limei each have half of the remaining one."

"Big brother, I’m not hungry. I said I only ate half a sweet potato because I was mad at sister-in-law, actually, I also ate a pancake." Zhang Limei said as she pulled a paper bag from her bag, "Mom asked me to bring pancakes for sister-in-law, they’re still warm." She handed it to Li Xiangfen, "And here’s the pickled side dish you like."

"Mother-in-law is really good to me." Li Xiangfen sniffed vigorously, her face full of happiness, "Marrying into the Zhang family in this life is a great blessing. If there’s a next life, I’ll still marry into the Zhang family."

The family in the hospital on the adjacent bed, who had been watching their humble family showdown, now smiled knowingly. No matter how poor or hard life is, if they understand and consider each other, good days will surely come.

"Is Comrade Zhang Lizhu here?"

At this moment, a man in his forties appeared at the door, looked at the bed number, and finally fixed his gaze on Zhang Lizhu, "Are you Zhang Lizhu?"

"I am Zhang Lizhu."

"Hello, hello." The man approached, warmly took his hand and shook it, and called out behind him, "Come in."

A woman around forty came in, holding a steaming lunchbox, smiled at Zhang Limei and Li Xiangfen, and placed the lunchbox on the bedside table: "These are freshly steamed meat buns, they smell great, hurry up and eat."

The few of them were stunned, they didn’t have any relatives or friends here, how could they dare to accept such unexpected goodwill so easily?

"Are you sure you have the right person?" Zhang Lizhu asked tentatively, "I’m Zhang Lizhu from Zhang Family Village of Red Heart Commune."

"You’re the one we’re looking for." The man smiled at him, "I’m Li Aiguo, the commune director of Red Heart Commune, and this is my wife Liu Guoling."

The commune director came to bring him food?

Not understanding the situation, Zhang Lizhu panicked and tried to sit up, but his leg was still hung up, and the sudden movement made him yelp in pain, beads of sweat immediately forming on his forehead.

"Big brother, don’t rush, don’t rush." Zhang Limei quickly supported him and said to Zhang’s Wife, "Sister-in-law, go get the doctor to check." Then looked at Li Aiguo and Liu Guoling, "Why are you treating my big brother so well?"

"It’s what we should do. As a member of Red Heart Commune, of course, I have to be concerned. We heard about your big brother’s situation, it’s our oversight in work."

This Director Li was newly appointed, hence the Zhang family didn’t recognize him. Upon hearing this, it clicked.

The previous commune director was named Fang, and it was Director Fang who greatly helped Zhang Erniu to join the army. The Zhang family always felt grateful to Director Fang. After he retired, Zhang Lizhu even went to see him specifically.

Perhaps it was because they had such a good impression of the predecessor that they felt partial towards the successor, believing that Director Fang retired early because Director Li took over his position.

However, being regular folks, thinking as much as they did, they could not help, the only thing they could do was to not inquire about the new director.

Unexpectedly, he came looking for them.

This made Zhang Lizhu perplexed.

Considering it, although his daughter was successful, it wasn’t enough for the commune to place such importance on them.

What is it that makes him treat them like this?

Though he was an ordinary folk, he also knew that unsolicited courtesy must mean trouble.

At this moment, the attending doctor came in, seeing the few people around the bed, frowned, checked the cast on Zhang Lizhu’s leg, then snorted: "If you still want to keep this leg, stop moving around."

"Yes, yes, yes." Zhang Lizhu quickly responded.

"You all, don’t let the patient get overly excited, he now needs peace and quiet for recovery." The doctor sniffed and added, "Don’t let the patient eat too much meaty stuff."

Upon hearing this, Li Aiguo immediately understood, quickly handed over the lunch box, "Doctor, you must be hungry too? These are dumplings made by my wife, try some."

The doctor glanced at him indifferently and turned to leave.

Li Aiguo signaled to his wife, and Liu Guoling quickly followed, hugging the lunch box. After they had left some distance, he turned back to Zhang Lizhu: "Brother, your injury is serious, we’ll have your sister-in-law make you dumplings later, we can’t offend the doctor."
