Community hospital.
Many visitors came to visit Dong Xuebing, and he only got some free time in the afternoon.
Dong Xuebing was the only one left in the ward. He was lying on the bed with the blanket over his head. He was holding his phone in his hand to make a few calls.
"Huilan, how many times have you come over these few days?"
"Brat, you're finally awake?"
"Why didn't you call me when you came? What a waste of time. You have a lot of work on your side."
"I am relieved to see you are fine. Why should I call you?"
"Well, did you miss me these days? Tell me the truth. "
"… Hehe, what do you think?"
"How would I know? I'm asking you."
"If you want to, then so be it. If you don't want to, then so be it. Haha."
"You only know how to chuckle. I can't be bothered with you anymore. Would it kill you to say something that I like to hear?"
"Alright. I miss you so much that I can't eat or sleep well. Can I put it this way?"
"What do you mean by that? Are you being sincere or just being perfunctory? Why does it sound so far-fetched to me? Alright, alright, I knew you were boring! "
"Haha … I still have some work to do. How about this?"
"Alright, you can continue with your work."
"Okay, I'll visit you in two days. Take care of yourself and don't run around."
"I know, I know. Don't worry."
…
"Hello, Aunt Xuan. It's me."
"Xiao Bing, you are awake?"
"I just woke up not long ago, so I called you as soon as possible."
"What about the streets? Alright, I've just finished packing. I'll head over now. "
Dong Xuebing got a fright. "Don't … don't … what are you doing? You are still in confinement, and how can you run around? You are asking for trouble!"
"I'm fine." Qu Yunxuan replied gently. "I just want to see you now."
"Please don't. If you come, your parents will scold me to death. Please don't. Stay at home and rest. This period of time is the most important. Otherwise, what if you get sick in the future? Aunt Xuan, you must listen to me. I will be anxious if you come over. "
"… Alright then."
"That's right." Dong Xuebing was relieved. "How is the child?"
Qu Yunxuan smiled. "This little one is doing well. Oh, my mother had given this little one a name. Qu Qian."
Dong Xuebing asked. "Why is his surname Qu?"
"Didn't I tell my mother that we would only get married in five years? My mom said that when we get our marriage certificate, the child's surname will be Dong. "
Dong Xuebing felt guilty and said. "Then let's listen to our mother. It doesn't matter if we use your surname. After all, she is our daughter."
"As long as you don't have any objections, then it's settled."
"Qu Qian, Qu Qian. That's a good name. By the way, what is your daughter doing?"
"She cried for a long time in the morning and just went to sleep. The little guy was so noisy."
"Then quickly put the phone over so I can hear my daughter's voice."
"I'm sleeping, what are you listening to?"
"You woke her up. Hurry up."
"You're already a father. Why are you still acting like a child? Qianqian had finally fallen asleep, and I don't know when she will fall asleep again if you wake her up. "
"Ah … just let me hear her voice. Aunt Xuan, please?"
"No. Don't be naughty. Wait until you are back in Beijing."
"You are so boring. I am hanging up now."
"You little pervert. You only know how to act shamelessly in front of me. Alright. Wait."
After a while, Dong Xuebing could hear the sound of someone breathing on the phone. It was a soft breathing sound, and Dong Xuebing got excited.
Qu Yunxuan asked softly. "Did you hear that?"
"I heard her. She is sleeping so soundly."
Dong Xuebing felt different with his daughter around. After hanging up, he could still hear his daughter's light breathing. He was so happy for the whole afternoon. All he could think about was his daughter's appearance, how fat she is, and how big her eyes are.
Afternoon, 4 pm.
Dong Xuebing was bored and called the doctor over.
"Doctor, where are my clothes and belongings?"
The doctor was stunned. "You are …"
"You had slept for two days, and it's time to be discharged. There are many things waiting for you."
"Err …" The doctor suggested. "I think you should stay under observation for a few more days. After all, under the ruins …"
Dong Xuebing sat up and put on his shoes. "I know my body well. I'm fine now. If I can't recover, I will come back to the hospital."
The Doctor looked at Dong Xuebing and gave him another check-up before nodding his head.
At 5 am, Dong Xuebing washed up and walked out of the ward feeling refreshed. But the news of him being discharged from the hospital had already spread.
Geng Xinke, Zhou Yanru, Peng Gang, and the rest had arrived.
"Director."
"Chief Dong."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Why are all of you here?"
"We are here to fetch you." Geng Xinke took the things from Dong Xuebing's hands. "Here. Let me carry this."
Dong Xuebing stopped him. "No need. I can't carry this."
"Just give it to me." Geng Xinke refused and took the things from Dong Xuebing. "I had asked my men to find your Cayenne. It's at Willow Alley. The car was damaged during the earthquake, and it might be a little … we had found the keys and drove it back to the hostel. The hostel is not damaged, and everyone is still staying there. If you are okay with it, do you still want to stay there?"
Dong Xuebing nodded. "Ok. Thank you."
After arranging the medical records, Dong Xuebing, Geng Xinke, and the rest left the Community Hospital to return to their hostel.
But when Dong Xuebing and the rest stepped out of the Community Hospital, they were shocked by the scene in front of them!
There were more than 10,000 people gathered at the small open space outside the Community Hospital. There were still more people rushing over and blocking the entrance.
Zhou Yanru was stunned. "This is?"
"These …" Geng Xinke blinked his eyes.
Peng Gang, Qu Yiqiang, and the rest of the Street Office's leaders had never seen such a large crowd before. They were stunned and did not know what was going on.
The next moment, a few young men raised a red banner and hung it above their heads. It was very eye-catching, and there was only one sentence written on it. "Good people will live a peaceful life!" It seemed to be a signal. Then, a few middle-aged men raised what seemed to be their own slogans. The banners in their hands were not big, but there were five or six of them. Each of them had three big words written on them — Thank you!
Good people will live a peaceful life? Thank you?
They are here to send Chief Dong out of the hospital?
The Street Office's leaders looked at each other and understood what was going on!
Dong Xuebing was also stunned by what he saw. It's too unexpected.
A man stood out from a group of people on the right. "Chief Dong, we are from Dong Hai District. When we heard you will be discharged, we rushed over. Before the earthquake, we had read your article in Fen Zhou City's Daily, and we left with our families. When we returned after the earthquake, we realized the place we were staying in was in ruins. Thank you for saving our lives!"
A few more people on the left side said. "Chief Dong, do you still remember us? After the earthquake, everyone was running for their lives, and you are the one who dug us out from the ruins. "
An old lady said with tears in her eyes. "You are a good person, and you will live to a ripe old age. I thank you on behalf of my son and grandson!"
"Chief Dong, you are the best leader I have ever met!"
"Thank you for everything you have done for us. Thank you!"
"We will remember you for the rest of our lives!"
Dong Xuebing noticed there were not only residents from Guangming Street Office and Nanshan District. There were also residents from Dong Hai District and Xi Ping District. More than 10,000 people filled the empty space in front of Dong Xuebing. There were old people in their 70s and 80s, middle-aged people in their 40s, young people, and even a few children around 8 to 9 years old. Everyone was standing there looking at Dong Xuebing.
Even Geng Xinke, Zhou Yanru, and the rest of the leaders from the Street Office were touched. No one had expected so many people to attend the event!
Dong Xuebing quickly walks down the stairs and shouted. "I cannot accept this. This is what I should do. Thank you all for coming to visit me. Thank you all."
The reporters rushed over with their cameras to record this scene. "This is the scene, and we are broadcasting it live. Now, more than 10,000 residents are gathering outside Guangming Street Community Hospital to receive Dong Xuebing, the hero of the earthquake, from the hospital. It is a touching scene …"
Soon, the residents moved aside to form a one-meter wide path for Dong Xuebing and his men.
Dong Xuebing led his men through the crowd and said. "Everyone, please go back. Thank you. Thank you." There were still elderly and children in the crowd, and Dong Xuebing was worried. He quickly told Zhou Yanru and the rest to go back.
Zhou Yanru quickly added. "Let's go back."
Peng Gang added. "That's right. Please go back."
But the residents did not listen to him, and none of them left.
After Dong Xuebing and his men walked out of the Community Hospital, the tens of thousands of residents started to move. Some of them were holding up banners that said, "Good people will have a safe life." They followed Dong Xuebing and his men closely. Some old men and women were also using their walking sticks to follow.
Dong Xuebing tried to persuade everyone to stop, but no one left.
They walked for about one kilometer, and more commoners joined the group. In the end, there are more than ten thousand people. When Dong Xuebing and the rest arrived at the family quarters, they stopped at the entrance and held the banners for a long time.
Tens of thousands of people are sending them off …
Tens of thousands of people followed them …
This love made Dong Xuebing choke. At this moment, he felt all the sufferings he had suffered over the past few days were worth it. Even if he died under the ruins of the First Hospital, even if he could not see his parents again, he would have no regrets!
