Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 1456: Chapter 1456: Sister-in-law’s Righteousness

His gaze swept quickly over the letter.

The content was simple yet heartfelt; Qin Jian could imagine the emotions An Hao must have been feeling as she wrote it.

”Read it, Commander! Please read it!” the warrior, newly risen, called out, others quickly gathering around.

After reading the letter, Qin Jian’s eyes and brows were touched with layers of deep smiles. He cleared his throat and said to the warriors, ”Alright, now I’ll pick out a few sentences to read aloud to everyone.”

A wave of applause thundered from below.

”...Out there, you surely can’t eat well, can’t sleep well, and must endure so much mental torment. How I wish I could join you, even though I know I can’t be of help, just to watch over you from a distance! My wish has always been simple, hoping that you safely reach the disaster area and return safely as well! I really want to tell you, remember that you are someone’s husband and father, so when danger arises, don’t be too rash.

But I know. If you don’t step forward, others will. These endearing warriors have parents, spouses, and children too, and their loved ones surely share the same worries. Hence, all I can say is that you must be careful and come back safely. You are my sky, my earth, my everything! As you dedicate yourself to everyone, remember to also keep our little home in your heart.

I can only hope for your safe return! May everyone in the disaster area be freed from suffering soon, and may every PLA warrior return to the embrace of their loved ones!”

After reading the letter, Qin Jian slowly folded it up, ”That’s it. The letter has been read. Everyone, go back to what you were doing!”

”The commander’s wife is so righteous!” The battalion commander said, clapping his hands, his eyes reddened, ”My wife can’t speak sweet words, but I know she must be worrying about me.”

”It’s the same for all of us!”

”Alright. We cannot let down the wishes of our loved ones. Everyone must live well. Let’s get to work and strive to complete the rescue operations as soon as possible.”

”Alright.”

The warriors responded in unison, those who had rested quickly diving back into their work.

Qin Jian looked down at the photo in his hand, then leaned down to gently kiss An Hao and whispered softly, ”Don’t worry. I’ll definitely return safely.”

.............................

The medical team had already begun their frantic resuscitation efforts.

”Director Ji, come quickly and look at this patient, an open abdominal injury, the major artery severed, lost close to a third of blood...”

”Prepare for surgery. Contact the ambulance, the patient needs to be sent out of the disaster area immediately after surgery.” Ji Chuan had just finished suturing a trauma wound and, without even catching his breath, started another operation.

Yan Ye happened to come help.

”Alright. You’ll assist me, the surgery is going well,” Ji Chuan said while cutting, not looking up.

Yan Ye didn’t engage with his comment, instead asking directly, ”Did you hear about the situation over there?”

”I heard. That Qin Jian is something else...” Ji Chuan had to admire, ”An Hao has good judgment. I’m almost regretting not bringing An Hao along this time. It would have been nice for them to reunite.”

”Stop it. Bringing An Hao into such a dangerous place,” Yan Ye disagreed with her, ”I’m really starting to regret having entrusted her to you. Ever since she joined your General Surgery, she’s had endless trouble.”

”What trouble? Wasn’t it just that medical incident? And it involved Ma Mei, who came from your Cardiology department,” Ji Chuan said dismissively.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a voice came from outside the tent: ”Excuse me, is Doctor Ma here?”
