Chapter 1754: Home
After being discharged from the military for more than ten years, Principal Chen had never allowed himself to rest. The military unit arranged for him to be the principal in Fujun Town. He had been guarding the oil depot in the school. Later, he met Ye Jian and spent all his time teaching her.
He had never rested for a day, nor had he ever allowed himself to relax. Even if he could no longer wear that green military uniform openly, he still treated himself as an active soldier.
After being hospitalized for so many days, it could be said that Principal Chen had rested for the longest time since he joined the army. Therefore, it was even more painful for him to stay in the hospital than to be punished.
However, he was still the principal of a high school for more than ten years. With the scholarly aura around him, his speech was much more refined.
Seeing Commissar Yan sitting in the ward unmoved, Principal Chen could only use his emotions and reason to analyze it. “There are a few good recruits this time. If we train them well, they’ll definitely achieve something. I have to hurry.
“Look at me. I’ve been staying here for a week. If I don’t go back now, they’ll get too relaxed. How can I let that happen? Training should be done day after day. I can’t give up halfway.
“I won’t take matters of my own body lightly. I won’t disregard my own body either. I’ve been hospitalized for so long. It’s really okay. It’s just a stomach hemorrhage. It’s not a big deal. The surgery has been done and I’ve recuperated. Let’s settle the discharge procedures today.”
No matter how well he put it, Commissar Yan was not moved. “You have to continue to take care of yourself. We’re not doctors, so we don’t understand the situation well. But the doctor said that you had gastric hemorrhage this time. If you were sent here half an hour later, you would have lost your life.
“You love the new soldiers, but you have to think about the girl. She just sent Uncle Gen away. Do you want her to send you away as well? Brother, you have to think about the girl. If she has to send off her closest kin one after another, it’ll be more painful than cutting out her heart.
“Listen to the doctor. You’ll be discharged after staying for 20 days. As long as you cooperate well and recover well, you’ll leave immediately after 20 days.”
Even Commander Xia was alarmed by Principal Chen’s fall. He ordered them to take good care of him no matter what. They couldn’t be careless!
Commander Xia had called him and Old Liu personally. He didn’t even alert the people in the provincial military district!
Not many people knew Principal Chen’s special identity. Even the leaders in the provincial military district didn’t know about it. Only the regiment commander and the political commissar who were stationed deep in the mountains of Fujun Town knew.
Since Commander Xia had personally called, Commissar Yan and Commander Liu wouldn’t let Principal Chen leave the hospital even if he wanted to.
Principal Chen wanted to leave the hospital but when he heard Ye Jian, his cold expression softened.
Having undergone surgery, he did not look too good. His face was a little pale and he had lost a lot of weight, making his face look even more angular. The strong military might between his brows appeared a little harsh.
Thinking of Ye Jian, Principal Chen’s gaze softened.
After Old Yan said so much, Principal Chen finally caught the main point.
He was right. If he really left all of a sudden, how could the loyal girl accept it? Moreover, her mother’s sacrifice was very suspicious. He had to help her.
Half of his desire to get out of the hospital disappeared, while the other half made him continue to bargain.
