Chapter 3055
3055 Family
Mr. Fu thanked Commander Xia and Xia Jinyuan. As for the rest, Mr. Fu, who was still worried about the old man, didn’t think too much about it.
Actually, as long as Mr. Fu was a little more careful, he would definitely be able to see something. However, Mr. Fu was worried about the old man who was undergoing surgery. He only had his daughter in his eyes now, so he wouldn’t pay attention to anything else.
On the other hand, because Li Jinnian and Ye Jian appeared in the hospital at the same time, Mr. Fu, who treated Li Jinnian as his biological son, couldn’t help but ask, “Jinnian, why did you come with your cousin? Were you resting in the military unit?”
His nephew was on duty at the sea in the southernmost part of China. Like him, Li Jinnian might not be able to return home all year round. Sometimes, he would come to the capital city for a meeting before leaving overnight.
They were all soldiers. They didn’t have much time to be at home.
Mr. Fu’s daughter was the same. After graduating from the military school, she wouldn’t have the time to stay at home anymore.
Li Jinnian sat down and replied respectfully, “I happened to meet her. I knew that Grandpa took a fall, so I came with my cousin.”
There was no mention of participating in the competition.
With the cousins around, Mr. Fu felt much more at ease. He said to Ye Jian, “Before Old Master entered the operating room, he asked me to bring you over. When you meet Grandpa, have a good chat with him. In the next few days, if you and Jinnian are free, accompany Old Master in the hospital and make him happy.
“As long as the patient is happy, he’ll eat well, sleep well, and recover quickly. It’s rare for the two of you to serve Old Master together. Now that you’re back in the capital city and Old Master is injured, serve him well, alright?”
“Dad, don’t worry. I’ll accompany Grandpa well. Cousin is a little busy, so I’ll accompany him for the rest of the time.”
Ye Jian’s expression changed. She held Mr. Fu’s hand and said considerately, “Have a good rest too. I’ll take good care of Grandpa.”
Just like what her father said, it was rare for her to come back to the capital city. Naturally, she had to accompany her grandpa and take good care of him. There were still a few days before school started. She would accompany her grandpa until school started.
Unfortunately, she couldn’t take leave. If not, she would want to take leave too.
Li Jinnian hadn’t taken leave. According to the original plan, he had to return to the team by five o’clock tomorrow afternoon. However, if he returned to the team now, he would be worried about Old Master Fu. After Ye Jian finished speaking, he lowered his voice and said, “Uncle, I’ll call the team now and try to take leave for a week to take good care of Grandpa.”
It was usually very difficult for soldiers to take leave. They wouldn’t take leave casually. Some soldiers didn’t even go back home to see their parents and grandparents when they were on missions.
Li Jinnian said that he would try to take a week off. But because he had left the team for too long, it might be hard to get his leave approved.
“No need, no need. Your matter is more important. Your cousin and I will be fine.” Mr. Fu knew that it was difficult for his nephew to take leave. He was a soldier too, so he could naturally understand.
Hearing this, Li Jinnian was silent for a while before nodding with difficulty. He stood up and faced the door of the operating room. His back view was oppressive.
Commander Xia couldn’t say anything about the Fu family’s matters. Li Jinnian was a navy soldier, so Commander Xia had no say about the approval of his leave application. However, he could still give some advice on who could accompany the old man.
“Engineer Fu, listen to my advice and let my Little Six stay behind to accompany you. He and Little Ye are comrades, and our families are close friends. Why are you still being polite with me?
“It’s settled. You don’t have to say anything else. If the two elders in my family knew about this, they would agree with my arrangements.”
It wasn’t to let Xia Jinyuan perform. It was because the Fu family was too small. Commander Xia sighed in his heart.
