Hospital.
Zheng Weiguo stood at the door of the operating room and paced back and forth. Dong Niannian had been in for more than an hour, and the lights in the operating room had not been turned off.
Tang Yi went out to get a glass of water, "Chief, drink some water first and take it easy."
Zheng Weiguo waved his hand, "Thank you, no."
Tang Yi took it back.
Zheng Weiguo said with a cold face, "Did those people catch him?"
Tang Yi shook his head, "They were all dead soldiers. Seeing that there was no room for change, they all committed suicide."
The other party obviously paid a high price.
When those people die, their families will get a lot of money.
"Did you call the police?"
Tang Yi nodded, "The police have taken the person away."
Zheng Weiguo narrowed his eyes slightly, "Go and watch for yourself. Sometimes, the dead are easier to talk to than the living."
"clear!"
"Also, send someone to pick up Nian Nian's family as soon as possible."
"yes!"
Zheng Weiguo waved his hand, "Go."
Not long after Tang Yi left, the door of the operating room opened, and Zheng Weiguo stepped forward quickly, "Doctor, how is my daughter?"
The doctor took off his mask and said, "The operation was successful. She is lucky. The bullet was only one centimeter away from her heart. She is fine now."
Zheng Weiguo breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you doctor, when will my daughter wake up?"
"You'll wake up when the anesthetic wears off, don't worry."
When Dong Niannian's grandfather Dong Xianhai and uncle Dong Huajie came over, Dong Niannian was not awake yet.
Dong Xianhai wanted to teach Zheng Weiguo a lesson as soon as he arrived, but was stopped by Dong Huajie who was standing next to him.
"Dad, don't be impulsive."
Dong Xianhai pointed angrily at Zheng Weiguo, "I told you a long time ago that I wouldn't let Niannian go with you. You said you would be good to her, but just how long has passed and she is lying in the hospital!"
Zheng Weiguo: "I'm sorry, Nian Nian was hurt because of me. I didn't protect her!"
Dong Huajie looked into the ward and asked, "Is Nian Nian awake?"
"Not yet, it might be midnight."
The door to the ward opened, and the nurse came out and shouted, "Where are Dong Niannian's family members? The patient is awake."
Hearing this, Zheng Weiguo quickly ran over.
Dong Xianhai and Dong Huajie looked at each other and followed them.
Dong Niannian had just woken up, his face was pale and without a trace of blood.
"Nian Nian, how do you feel?"
Dong Niannian blinked, feeling like he was reborn after a disaster.
She won the bet!
From now on, Zheng Weiguo will never doubt her again!
"Dad, I'm fine."
Dong Xianhai pulled Zheng Weiguo away and leaned over to look at Dong Niannian, "Niannian, tell us if it hurts."
Dong Niannian smiled weakly, "Grandpa, I'm fine, don't worry."
Dong Xianhai wiped his tears and said, "Silly boy, you are just too sensible."
"Grandpa, it's too late. You should go back to sleep."
Zheng Weiguo also said, "Old man, please go back and rest. I am here and I will take good care of her."
"You said that before too!"
Dong Xianhai yelled, "This time, I will never let Niannian go back with you."
"Grandpa..."
Dong Niannian said anxiously, "Ahem——"
"Kid, don't worry!"
Dong Niannian: "Grandpa, I want to accompany my father. You all have family members to accompany you. My father is the only one with me. Don't embarrass him."
Dong Xianhai, "You should rest first."
Dong Niannian stayed in the hospital for a week, and the wound was almost grown. Zheng Weiguo could not leave the capital for too long. After asking the doctor, Zheng Weiguo decided to take Dong Niannian back to the capital.
Dong Xianhai looked at Dong Niannian: "Niannian, do you really want to go back with your father?"
Dong Niannian nodded.
Dong Xianhai sighed.
"Forget it, if you want to follow him, just follow him. Your uncle and I won't care about you."
With that said, Dong Xianhai took out two things from his pocket and stuffed them into Dong Niannian's hands, "These are the two most cherished pieces of jewelry your mother had during her lifetime. I have always kept them for you. Now it's time for them to return to their original owners."
Dong Niannian was stunned for a moment, looking down at the jade pendant and coral string in his hand.
Dong Xianhai looked at him deeply, then turned to Zheng Weiguo, "I will leave Nian Nian to you. You should take good care of her."
Zheng Weiguo stared blankly at the jade pendant and coral string in Dong Niannian's hand.
This is what he gave to Hua Ni.
Dong Xianhai glanced at him and said, "Is this what you gave to Huani? She loved this the most during her lifetime. I think it was you who gave it to me."
Zheng Weiguo said dumbly, "Yes."
Hua Ni said that she liked corals, so he made her a coral string.
It also has her last name engraved on it.
Dong Niannian looked at Dong Xianhai, and suddenly remembered what Zheng Baoguo said to her.
So, Zheng Baoguo said he would be able to keep her identity, is this it?
Zheng Weiguo walked over slowly, took the coral string from Dong Niannian's hand, and found a coral with the word "Dong" engraved on it.
The coral is very old, and the word "Dong" has also been scratched. It looks like it was from a long time ago.
He slowly looked at Dong Niannian, his eyes wet.
Really his child.
Dong Niannian blinked, "Dad, is this a token of love between you and your mother?"
Zheng Weiguo nodded stiffly, stepped forward and hugged Dong Niannian, "Niannian, I'm sorry."
He shouldn't have doubted her and led her into danger. Fortunately, Nian Nian was fine. Otherwise, he would never be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life.
Dong Niannian knew what Zheng Weiguo meant, but she chose to play dumb, "Dad, it's okay. Although you found me a little late, you never gave up. Now we are finally reunited. Don't say sorry."
Zheng Weiguo's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he held her for a long time without letting go.
Dong Niannian curled his lips proudly.
One shot can buy you a lifetime of glory and wealth, it's worth it.
Dong Xianhai: "Okay, take good care of Niannian when you go back, just don't make us worry."
Zheng Weiguo let go of Dong Niannian, "I will do it."
"Old man, can I take Hua Ni's tablet away?"
Dong Xianhai yelled, "If you want to take my daughter away, don't even think about it!"
Dong Huajie said on the side, "Chief Zheng, my sister has been laid to rest. Please respect her. If you want to pay homage, you can go back and build a tomb for her."
Zheng Weiguo didn't insist anymore, "Sorry, I was abrupt. We are going back this afternoon."
Dong Xianhai: "Okay."
On October 21, Lu Yao lied about not feeling well and asked Duan Mingjie to stay with her at home.
She remembered clearly that it was on this day that the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination spread throughout the country.
The radio in Duanjia Village rang all day long, and the whole village was full of excitement and joy.
In this life, she wants to share this joy with Duan Mingjie.
"Daughter-in-law, why don't we go to the hospital for a checkup? I can't hold on if I'm sick."
Lu Yao said early in the morning that his body was weak and he had no strength, and he did not dare to go to the construction site.
"It's okay. If you still feel uncomfortable at noon, go back. Maybe it's because you've been too tired from reviewing recently."
Duan Mingjie hugged her distressedly, "Take some rest after the college entrance examination."
Lu Yao hummed.
Suddenly, a broadcast sounded outside——
"Hello all candidates, I would like to inform you of the good news. A unified examination will be held in one month. A comprehensive examination will be conducted based on morality, intelligence and physical fitness, and the principle of merit-based admission will be adopted. Second-year high school students, workers, and educated youth going to the countryside will be admitted on a voluntary basis... ....Anyone can participate.”
Lu Yao grabbed Duan Mingjie's arm and shouted excitedly, "Duan Mingjie, did you hear it? The college entrance examination has really resumed!"
