Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

"Master, Mistress, Director, fellow masters," Qin Huairu greeted everyone before asking, "How is Senior Brother?"

"She's lost her little finger; she's in surgery." Glancing at her, Yang Jianguo said, "Just wait!"

Qin Huairu had come to see them, and seeing that he was alright, she still asked him a few questions.

As for Zhang Chao, they learned that he was missing a finger.

Qin Huairu looked gloomy. This senior brother had been very good to her, often giving her guidance and care.

Now, this has happened.

If Qin Huai could be happy, that would be truly heartless.

This wait lasted for more than an hour.

When the doctor came out, a group of people surrounded him.

"Doctor, how is he?"

"Did the surgery go well? Did you get hurt anywhere else?"

In response to everyone's questions, the doctor gave a concise and clear answer: "The surgery was very successful, and all you need to do now is rest."

"Are the patient's family members here?" There are some things that need to be explained to the family members.

They exchanged glances, and Yang Jianguo stepped forward and said, "I am his master. If there's anything, talk to me."

The doctor frowned and asked, "Can't you contact the family?"

"You know the situation outside, there really isn't any time right now," Yang Jianguo said with a wry smile.

After hearing what he said, the doctor stopped insisting.

Although it's against the rules, the rules are quite flexible at this time.

Besides, this is a special case; we've suffered a disaster.

My master is practically my father!

Explain to him the precautions to take, the use of subsequent medications, and how to enhance his recovery.

The impact of losing a finger, and how to adapt and adjust, are explained clearly in one go.

The doctor then nodded to the group and slowly left.

Zhang Chao was also pushed out by the nurse.

Local anesthesia; you'll wake up as soon as you see someone.

Seeing the crowd waiting at the door, Zhang Chao even smiled and asked, "Why are you all here? I'm not going to die."

You might lose your life, but the experience will be much worse.

His face was as white as a steamed bun made from refined white flour, deathly pale and dull.

And the way he spoke was weak and listless.

"Don't talk, just rest well," Yang Jianguo instructed, and followed the nurse as they pushed the gurney towards the ward.

The treatment for both of them was arranged by the factory.

They were even put in the same ward, just the two of them, and it even had its own bathroom.

This kind of treatment was usually only available to high-ranking officials.

After the nurse left, Yang Jianguo pulled up a stool and sat down by the bed, asking, "Is there anything you want to eat?"

"Just tell me what you want to eat, and I'll have your teacher's wife make it for you." As soon as Yang Jianguo spoke, Yingzi nodded in agreement: "Just tell me what you want to eat."

Zhang Chao thought about it carefully for a moment, then smiled and said, "A stew of vegetables, meat, cabbage, potatoes, and glass noodles, plus two steamed buns."

Gollum~

Yang Jianguo's stomach was growling; he hadn't eaten anything since he came out!

His apprentice's words made him hungry.

"Okay, I'll go home and make it now. Wait for me." Yingzi grabbed her coat and was about to leave when she told Yang Jianguo to stay put and not wander off.

Qin Huairu, who was standing by the wall, stepped forward and said, "Why don't I go back and cook it? There's still some meat at home, enough to eat."

“Master’s wife has been busy all night, she must be tired.”

Yingzi straightened her collar and replied, "Alright, you stay here and watch over things, I'll go."

"I didn't run many steps tonight, but you must be tired after running so much. You should rest!"

Qin Huairu really put in a lot of effort this time, without taking a break at all.

Yingzi pushed her to sit on the sofa, said goodbye to Yang Jianguo, and then left.

I'll go cook a stew, make some steamed buns, and check on the kids.

I'll get him some clothes too, so he'll have something to change into after he's eaten.

The clothes she wore when she came to the hospital were so dirty they were unrecognizable.

Yingzi went back to cook, and Director Yang went up to inquire about his condition.

He seemed to be in a good mood, not depressed about losing a finger, and showing no signs of resentment or pain.

Offer a few words of comfort and tell him to focus on recovering from his injury first, and to discuss the rest after he has healed.

The factory won't treat him badly, blah blah blah, just the same old stuff.

After he finished speaking, he left with his men.

At the hospital, their problem was resolved.

But a whole host of problems await in the factory!

Just consider the two workers who died; how will their funeral arrangements be handled, compensation provided, and their families comforted?

These tasks alone are enough to give anyone a headache.

Not to mention the losses to the factory; resuming work and rebuilding would be a huge hassle!

After watching the person leave, Zhang Chao asked, "Is there no more work?"

He glanced at the worried look on Director Yang's face; it couldn't be a good sign.

Yang Jianguo nodded and said, "Zhang Chao, this time it's your master who dragged you into this. If anything happens to you..."

"Master." Zhang Chao interrupted him, and Yang Jianguo was still a little unaccustomed to it.

In the past, Zhang Chao was very particular about etiquette and manners.

This was the first time he had interrupted him since he started following him.

"You're wrong. What do you mean by 'you've dragged me down'?"

Zhang Chao continued, "Although you asked me to go with you, I was the one who first expressed my willingness to save people."

"Besides, even if you hadn't asked me, I would still have had to follow you, Master, wouldn't I?"

Zhang Chao grinned, but his smile looked rather strange.

The anesthesia has worn off, and my fingers are hurting right now!

"Besides, given the situation in Workshop 3 at the time, no one could just stand by and watch!" Zhang Chao said sincerely.

Zhang Chao learned more than just technical skills from Yang Jianguo.

There are also many more principles of life, his thoughts, his way of dealing with people and his morality.

These things are enough for Zhang Chao to digest for a lifetime.

In his heart, that was a more precious asset than technology.

The word "person".

How complicated?

It's truly rare to learn even a little from others in this lifetime!

Zhang Chao did not regret suggesting the rescue, nor did he regret following him back to the workshop.

On the contrary, they felt proud of their choice.

In this day and age, people can truly be selfless, disregarding personal gains and losses, and fearless of difficulties and obstacles.

Zhang Chao acted for himself and for his mentor.

I am proud of everyone who faces difficulties head-on, and proud to be born in such a great era.

Zhang Chao can't be a hero; he can't accomplish anything spectacular.

He was just an ordinary worker, an ordinary citizen.

But at the very least, he must not hold everyone back and must keep up with the times.

This time, he didn't embarrass himself or his mentor, Yang Jianguo.

They didn't bring shame to the special workshop or their own parents.

If I hadn't done it myself, I would have just stood outside and watched my coworkers die.

He wanted his parents to know that he had deserted in the face of danger.

Zhang Chao will never be able to step into his home again in his entire life.

His father actually dared to publish a notice in the newspaper severing his father-son relationship with him.

"Senior brother, does your finger hurt a lot?"

Qin Huairu, who was listening to the two talking, suddenly became concerned about his injuries.

Because she noticed that when Zhang Chao spoke...

His lips twitched backward, and he frowned more and more frequently.

These small actions may seem insignificant, but they did not escape Qin Huairu's eyes.

That's why they say women are more perceptive!

Having been exposed by her, Zhang Chao laughed awkwardly, "It does hurt quite a bit, but you can bear with it."

Qin Huairu stood up and said, "I'll go ask the nurse. You wait here."

After everyone left, Yang Jianguo looked at him with a strange expression.

Zhang Chao made him feel somewhat awkward, and he felt helpless and regretful.

Why did I blurt out what was on my mind back then?

It was pitch black underneath, I couldn't see my hand in front of my face, and I couldn't move at all. My hand was being held down by something.

Enveloped in fear, Zhang Chao felt he might not survive.

Only then did she lower her guard and confide in him.

But now, he was filled with regret.

If I had known I could get out, I wouldn't have said a single word even if you beat me to death.

"Master." Zhang Chao turned his head to look out the window and called out to him with his back turned.

Yang Jianguo hummed in agreement, his tone smiling.

As soon as Zhang Chao opened his mouth, he guessed what he was going to say.

"Please don't tell anyone what I told you, okay?" That's exactly what he was thinking.

Yang Jianguo nodded and asked, "So what are your plans?"

Seeing that he had agreed, Zhang Chao breathed a sigh of relief and smiled nonchalantly, "What are my plans? I'll just take it one day at a time!"

"Your family must be getting anxious, right?" Yang Jianguo asked.

He's about my age, and I'm almost twenty-three this year.

At his age, he's already a father of two, and he still doesn't have a girlfriend. His family must be worried.

But Zhang Chao smiled and said, "My family's situation is special, so there's no rush."
