Chapter 1425 Awakening and Reunion with Father and Daughter
"Oh no, what should we do?" Zhang Manling asked anxiously.
Lin Hao shook his head. This was a classic case of being blinded by concern. So Lin Hao said:
"The only thing we can do now is get him to the hospital as soon as possible. The hospitals in Weichang County probably don't have the capacity to treat him. We'll have to go to Chengde Hospital to remove the fragments from his head!"
At this point, Lin Hao said to Feng Cheng, "Feng Cheng, go and inform Director Yu that I'll drive Lao Zhao to Chengde!"
“Okay, I’ll make the call right away!” Feng Cheng said immediately.
"I want to go too!" Zhang Manling stepped forward and said, "I want to go with Captain Zhao!"
“Okay!” Lin Hao nodded in agreement, then said to the others:
"All other comrades, hurry up! Even though the leader is not here, everyone should keep busy with whatever they need to do. Don't slack off!"
On the way, Lin Hao checked again and found that Zhao Tianshan was actually fine for the time being. It was just a temporary fainting caused by nerve compression. He would wake up after resting for a while.
But Lin Hao knew that once Zhao Tianshan woke up, he definitely wouldn't agree to the surgery. The original series dragged on for three or four episodes, and Lin Hao really didn't have the patience to watch them drag it out. So Lin Hao decided to cut the Gordian knot quickly.
They directly took Zhao Tianshan to Chengde for surgery to remove the shrapnel from his head. After all, with Lin Hao's protection, removing shrapnel was a piece of cake; it would be difficult for him to die even if he wanted to.
To prevent Zhao Tianshan from waking up halfway, Lin Hao simply used his skill to keep him unconscious, and thus they arrived at Chengde Hospital smoothly before dark.
"Comrade Zhao's condition is very bad. The shrapnel must be removed as soon as possible, otherwise his life is in danger at any time!"
"Then hurry up and take it out!" Zhang Manling said quickly upon hearing this.
The doctor glanced at Zhang Manling, then at Lin Hao, before speaking with a serious expression:
"But once a patient goes into surgery, the success rate is only fifty percent, and there's a possibility they'll never wake up!"
"This~!" Zhang Manling hesitated upon hearing this, because this was not a decision she could make. What if Zhao Tianshan didn't wake up?
"Arrange surgery for him immediately!" However, just as Zhang Manling hesitated, Lin Hao said with absolute certainty:
"Zhao Tianshan was a courageous comrade. He was wounded on the battlefield and had the opportunity to have surgery, but his chances of survival were less than 30%."
"He felt that it was better to die on the front lines than on the operating table, so he didn't have the surgery. And it turned out well; he not only didn't die on the front lines, but he also survived as a hero."
"I believe that once Comrade Zhao Tianshan wakes up, he will definitely agree to the surgery without hesitation!"
The attending physician nodded upon hearing this. He had encountered many patients like Zhao Tianshan before. Now, the conditions are much better than before, and he is actually more suitable for surgery. It all depends on the determination of the patient and his family.
"Alright, I'll arrange surgery for this war hero immediately!" After saying that, the doctor then said to Lin Hao and Zhang Manling:
"I will personally perform this surgery, but you should also be prepared for the worst!"
"Doctor, how long will it take for Captain Zhao to wake up after the surgery?" Zhang Manling asked anxiously.
"It might only take three days, it might take three years, or it might never wake up. It mainly depends on the patient's willpower!"
The thought that Zhao Tianshan might never wake up filled Zhang Manling with turmoil. Images of Zhao Tianshan teaching her to operate the machine, telling her military stories, and so on flashed through her mind.
As various images flashed through Zhang Manling's mind, she couldn't hold back her tears.
At this moment, he felt extremely regretful. If only he hadn't tested Zhao Tianshan back then, he would have agreed sooner.
At this moment, Lin Hao comforted him:
"Comrade Zhang Manling, you don't need to worry too much. I believe in Captain Zhao's perseverance, and he will definitely succeed!"
Lin Hao comforted Zhang Manling, then looked at Zhao Tianshan being wheeled into the operating room.
Zhang Manling suddenly seemed to have made a decision, and said to Lin Hao with a determined look in her eyes:
"Section Chief Lin, you don't need to comfort me. I will take care of Brother Zhao!"
After saying that, Zhang Manling looked at Zhao Tianshan, who was being wheeled into the operating room, and murmured to herself:
"If Brother Zhao doesn't wake up, I'll take care of him for one day; if he never wakes up, I'll take care of him for the rest of my life!"
"Comrade Zhang Manling, it's alright. You have to trust Captain Zhao. Besides, we can try to wake him up. Let's wait until after his surgery to talk about everything else!"
Lin Hao's words reassured Zhang Manling a little.
"Section Chief Lin, how's the situation?" Just as Lin Hao finished speaking, a familiar voice came from the stairwell.
That's right, the person who came was none other than Yu Zhenglai, the director of the forest farm.
"The situation is very bad. Surgery has already begun. Why is the farm manager here?" Lin Hao quickly asked.
"I rushed here as soon as I received the news, but I didn't expect it to be so serious that he had to be taken into the operating room!"
After Zhao Tianshan finished speaking, he looked at Lin Hao and asked, "What exactly is his situation?"
"Yes, the situation is very serious. Back then, Captain Zhao was on the battlefield..."
Lin Hao explained Zhao Tianshan's situation, and then said:
"According to the doctor, the success rate of the surgery is only fifty percent, and there is a possibility that he may never wake up."
"Impossible! Zhao Tianshan crawled out of piles of corpses and survived artillery fire. How could he just fall like that!"
"He will definitely pull through!" Yu Zhenglai also believed that Zhao Tianshan would not fail to wake up.
"Yes, I think so too!" Lin Hao pointed to Zhang Manling behind him and said:
"It's just that Comrade Zhang Manling was too concerned about Captain Zhao, so she cried a little!"
"Oh, by the way, I overheard someone saying they wanted to take care of him for the rest of their life at the stairwell? Who was it?"
Yu Zheng glanced at Zhang Manling, and his initial concerns were quickly suppressed.
Yu Zhenglai naturally admired this kind-hearted girl and didn't want to dampen Zhang Manling's spirits at this time.
"Manager, I've made up my mind. Even if Captain Zhao never wakes up, I will take care of him for the rest of my life!"
"Manling, this is a relapse of Tianshan's old wounds. And if you act like this, people will gossip!"
After all, they were neighbors who knew each other. In his heart, Yu Zhenglai was also thinking about Zhang Manling. After all, if Zhao Tianshan really couldn't wake up, he couldn't let her life be ruined!
"I'm not afraid! I've always liked Brother Zhao, and ever since I learned about his deeds, I've admired him even more!"
"Besides, Brother Zhao has helped me so much and taken such good care of me. I can't abandon him when he needs me."
Zhang Manling spoke to Yu Zhenglai with a determined look in her eyes.
"This~!"
Looking at the girl in front of him, Yu Zhenglai seemed unsure how to comfort her, then turned to Lin Hao. "It's alright, Director Yu, Captain Zhao will definitely wake up!"
Lin Hao gave Yu Zhenglai an approving look, and although Yu Zhenglai was also a little uneasy, he didn't say anything more.
Then everyone looked at the operating room door, as if they could see the resolute man inside.
Lin Hao then told Zhang Manling and Yu Zheng to rest first, while he would stay and watch over the place, taking turns to look after them later.
Moreover, Yu Zhenglai has many things to handle, so he can't stay here all the time.
Zhang Manling, however, insisted on staying there, so Lin Hao couldn't worry about anything else, because the shrapnel was about to be removed and he had to go in and help as soon as possible.
So Lin Hao used his skill to put Zhang Manling into a temporary sleep and even wove a beautiful dream for her that she would wake up with Zhao Tianshan and grow old together.
After Zhang Manling fell unconscious, Lin Hao immediately used his skill to sneak into the operating room. The doctor had just removed the shrapnel and, after confirming there were no other fragments, began cleaning and stopping the bleeding!
Seeing this, Lin Hao first channeled Qi and blood energy into Zhao Tianshan, then mixed in some life energy, and the wound quickly stopped bleeding.
After the doctor repositioned and fixed the skull, and finally bandaged it, Lin Hao then channeled life energy into Zhao Tianshan and used his healing skills.
This is the most direct method, more effective than any blood and qi therapy. You just need to wait for the anesthesia to wear off and you will wake up.
However, in order to make Zhao Tianshan suffer less, Lin Hao decided to keep him unconscious for two more days, which would be more conducive to his recovery.
······
Three days later, Lin Hao, Yu Zhenglai, Zhang Manling, and Feng Cheng stood by Zhao Tianshan's bedside, anxiously waiting for him to wake up as he lay quietly.
"It moved! It moved!"
"What moved?" Lin Hao was looking out the window when he suddenly heard Feng Cheng say that something had moved.
"I just saw Brother Zhao move his hand!"
"I saw it too!"
"Then what are you standing there for? Call a doctor!" Lin Hao was speechless after hearing Feng Cheng and Zhang Manling's words.
"The patient has a very strong will and is now out of danger of becoming a vegetable. He will wake up soon!"
"I've just checked it, and the wound is healing very well. If there are no problems, you can be transferred to a regular ward tomorrow morning!"
The doctor then smiled and said, "You'll be fine after resting for a while!"
After the doctor came to examine him, he came out of the ward and explained things to Lin Hao and the others.
"Thank you, doctor!!"
"A miracle doctor!"
"Thank you, doctor!!"
"No need, it's all part of my job!"
Sure enough, not long after, Zhao Tianshan opened his eyes, still unaware of what had happened.
After all, he was giving a speech while standing on a tractor just a moment ago, and now he's in the hospital!
Lin Hao then recounted to him the details of how he fell into a coma and was taken to the hospital for surgery.
Before Zhao Tianshan could speak, Lin Hao showered him with praise again, immediately using words to elevate him:
"I knew it! There was no difficulty in defeating Comrade Zhao Tianshan, relying on my iron will..."
Lin Hao's compliments stirred Zhao Tianshan's blood, and then, thinking of his own bravery and fearlessness on the battlefield, he immediately straightened his head and puffed out his chest.
There was nothing Lin Hao could do; he knew that Zhao Tianshan was afraid of having surgery.
However, the surgery is now complete, he has woken up, and is recovering quite well. There will be no more worries about paralysis or coma in the future, so he and Zhang Manling will have fewer concerns.
While Zhao Tianshan was hospitalized, the selection process for model workers was finally completed. Originally, they wanted to select Lin Hao and Feng Cheng, but Lin Hao declined.
Lin Hao had no interest in the model worker lecture tour group, which would travel all over the country to give speeches.
Although Feng Cheng also wanted to refuse, he wasn't so determined. After some persuasion, he finally agreed to go together.
However, there are two spots available, and only Feng Cheng has been confirmed so far, so another person needs to be selected.
After some discussion, they chose Qin Xuemei. However, Qin Xuemei originally wanted to refuse, but Lin Hao persuaded her.
After all, Lin Hao knew that he would run into Qin Xuemei's father again when she went to Beijing to receive the award, which is why he encouraged her to be selected as a model worker.
Of course, Qin Xuemei's performance after arriving in Bashang truly deserved the title of model worker, so the matter was settled.
However, Lin Hao and Meng Yue's wedding, originally scheduled for May, was naturally postponed until Qin Xuemei returned.
According to Qin Xuemei, all the sisters should be present at their wedding.
······
In August, Feng Cheng and Qin Xuemei finally returned home in triumph, and Qin Xuemei finally met her father during her trip to Beijing.
In the original storyline, the father and daughter did not have any further interaction during this meeting, except for exchanging a few words of encouragement.
However, since Lin Hao had arranged for the father and daughter to meet, he naturally wouldn't let them miss each other and continue their bitter feud.
The main reason why Qin Xuemei came to Bashang in a fit of anger was that she misunderstood that her father and stepmother had been together before her mother died.
It has to be said that Qin Xuemei's stepmother, Jin Peiyun, is genuinely unlikable on the surface.
Not only do they like to put on airs, but they also constantly talk about how they conquered the country and how you are doing now!
Not only does he speak in a condescending tone, but he also likes to put on airs, manipulate people, and is extremely stubborn. He seems like a villain no matter how you look at it.
However, it is undeniable that only through true understanding can one know a person's character and true nature.
Judging from the plot and Jin Peiyun's methods of doing things, she is extremely vigilant and may seem difficult to get along with on the surface, but in reality, she has an objective evaluation in her heart and is not someone who is easily swayed by others.
In the original drama, Wu Yansheng tried to get close to Jin Peiyun by deception and take advantage of her power, but he was exposed in an instant. Before leaving Saihanba, he reminded Yu Zheng to talk to Qu He.
Therefore, in Lin Hao's view, this was a revolutionary comrade who did not have much selfishness, was fairly fair and objective in his work, and had an unyielding character.
Therefore, after the model worker commendation meeting, Lin Hao descended and used his spirit to mark Qin Qiufeng, and then used Qin Qiufeng to mark Jin Peiyun.
Then, using the illusion technique, she manipulated Qin Qiufeng and Qin Xuemei to focus on their longing for each other as father and daughter, and induced Jin Peiyun to want to clear up Qin Xuemei's misunderstanding of her.
Thus, through Lin Hao's scheme, Qin Xuemei finally met with Qin Qiufeng and Jin Peiyun.
"Xuemei, after all these years, I've finally found you!" Qin Qiufeng said, holding back tears as he looked at his daughter.
