Daily Life in the 70s-Chapter 248: Discharge from the Hospital (Four Updates)

The next day, Yang PeiMin woke up early as usual, heated water, prepared breakfast, cleaned up, and got a wheelchair ready to take Shen Yiguang out for a stroll.

Shen Yiguang stopped her, "No need to fuss, I’m going to talk to the doctor later about being discharged."

"How can that be? You’re not fully recovered yet." Yang PeiMin disagreed. This is reckless, isn’t it? Even if you’re sick of staying in the hospital, you need to stay until you’re fully recovered. Aren’t you an adult? Can’t you endure a little?

She felt he couldn’t lie around any longer because he wanted to return to the military.

Shen Yiguang made a kicking gesture and laughed, "Don’t I know my own body? Don’t worry, I’m aware of my condition. Today’s your first day of school, I can’t not see you off."

Yang PeiMin was startled by his gesture and hurried over to him, "Hey, be careful."

Shen Yiguang pulled her into his arms, his chin resting on the top of her head, his voice rich and gentle, "Don’t worry."

Later, they called over a doctor. The doctor seemed somewhat helpless about Shen Yiguang’s insistence, "Since you want to be discharged, you must follow my instructions. You need to rest at home for a while. Don’t go to the military training for now. Wait until you’re fully healed. Come here for a check-up afterwards, and if there’s no problem, then you can go. I’ve also reported this to the military, and you need to be self-disciplined."

Well, the tone of the doctor was completely like coddling a child. Yang PeiMin couldn’t help but smile.

After the doctor left, Shen Yiguang glanced at her and said lightly, "If you want to laugh, just laugh."

"Hahaha..."

Shen Yiguang: "..."

Although the doctor had a heap of medical advice for him to follow, Yang PeiMin was reassured by the doctor’s confident answer that Shen Yiguang was no longer in serious danger. He had recovered a lot, and all his nutritional indicators were up to par. She just needed to make sure he ate well, slept well, and didn’t exert himself or engage in strenuous activities when they got home. It was better for him to be discharged than to stay in the hospital, with its smells of disinfectant and other medicines, and strange nurses.

Back in the military, at least he’d have comrades to talk to and people like Political Commissar Zhou to play chess with.

Once they got the green light, Yang PeiMin immediately began packing his things.

They were just some clothes, bowls, and other daily necessities. Over these days, the two of them had stayed in the hospital, eating and sleeping there, and she had brought quite a few things, including snacks, fruits, skin care products, clothes—a whole lot of stuff, as well as nutritional gifts from other comrades and leaders. It ended up filling two suitcases with their clothes.

Some clothes hadn’t been washed yet. The hospital restrooms barely managed to wash the clothes, but finding a place to hang them was tough. Because of this, she had refrained from wearing her underwear, switching to tank tops, and when there were few people around, she would hang them by the window of the ward.

But I digress. Not to mention clothes, she hadn’t even taken a real bath in this hospital. Then she thought of a good idea, "We haven’t had a bath for many days. Let’s go to the bathhouse after we get out."

Shen Yiguang raised an eyebrow, "Bathhouse? How do you know about this?"

"Is this place well-hidden? We can’t stay here, I need to take a shower, I feel like I’m growing moss all over."

Shen Yiguang thought for a moment and then readily agreed.

Since Shen Yiguang had planned to be discharged from the hospital today, it wasn’t long before Xiao Xu arrived. As soon as he entered, he headed straight for Yang PeiMin’s two bags of clothes, grabbing one with each hand, and then he spoke to them, "Boss, sister-in-law, can we leave now?" He was even more decisive than the couple themselves.

Shen Yiguang looked at him helplessly, "Alright, take the stuff downstairs and wait for us in the car. I’m going to head over to Shao Camp nearby with your sister-in-law."

Xiao Xu cheerfully left.

Shao Hui still couldn’t get out of bed. When Yang PeiMin saw him, it seemed to her that he had lost some weight compared to a few days ago, and his face also bore a haggard look. She felt sympathy for him, wondering if his wife had been giving him a hard time.

When Shao Hui saw that Shen Yiguang was able to be discharged, his eyes immediately sparkled, followed by a mix of envy, jealousy, and resentment, "How did you recover so quickly, you rascal? Did you take some kind of miracle cure?"

Shen Yiguang, not wanting to agitate him, smiled and said, "Just calm down and you’ll naturally recover quickly. What happens outside doesn’t concern you, even if the sky falls."

He glanced at Du Juanjuan and said, "Sister, it must be tough managing both caring for Ah Hui and going to work. Why not consider hiring a caretaker to look after Ah Hui? They are more experienced in care, even knowing what dietary combinations are most nutritious and easy to digest. What do both of you think?"

Du Juanjuan instinctively wanted to object, but upon reflection, though this soldier might be uneducated, his suggestion was not bad. School had already started, and these past few days she had been running back and forth, exhausted. Initially, she didn’t want to rely on others partly because she felt her relationship with Shao Hui had faded and she wanted to mend it during this time. But she hadn’t anticipated how exhausting caregiving could be. She had not been able to go out and enjoy a peaceful sleep for a long time. Since she had initiated the care, suddenly hiring someone might make Shao Hui feel uneasy. But now that this soldier had suggested it, it couldn’t be better.

So, looking at Shao Hui, she smiled and said, "Camp Commander Shen makes a lot of sense. Due to the start of the school term, there’s a lot going on at school. I even got there late this morning, and my colleagues were murmuring about it."

Shao Hui nodded, "Alright, let’s hire someone then."

Du Juanjuan’s smile brightened, "Great, I’ll definitely find a caretaker who is attentive, responsible, and knows how to balance nutrition, enduring both hard work and complaints."

After leaving Shao Hui’s ward, Shen Yiguang shook his head. Yang PeiMin looked at him, "Do you feel sorry for Shao Hui?"

Shen Yiguang laughed, "Why should I feel sorry? You pick your own wife, and whatever comes, you bear with it, right?"

Yang PeiMin also laughed, "And you, with your keen insight."

"Don’t flatter me." Despite his words, the corners of Shen Yiguang’s lips stayed uplifted for a long time.

Thanks to Xiao Xu, the two of them went off to the bathhouse and had a comfortable soak, followed by shopping and eventually dining out.

After filling their stomachs, they headed to the school.

Since she had a lot of stuff, Xiao Xu and Shen Yiguang helped her move it into the dormitory. The school had explicit rules that men are not allowed in women’s dormitories, regardless of whether they were fetching items. But the dormitory supervisor, upon seeing Shen Yiguang and Xiao Xu in full military attire, immediately tossed those rules out the window, "Alright, help carry the stuff upstairs. No problem, your wife looks fragile. You should take good care of her."
