After Tong Xiaomei came out from the operation, she learned that Xiao Chunsheng had been discharged from the hospital and returned to Beijing. Without saying a word, she rushed to the train station. Just as the train was about to leave, Tong Xiaomei hurried there. Xiao Chunsheng thought that Tong Xiaomei was here to see him off. He claimed to be able to take care of himself, and there was a train conductor to give him warmth as a disabled person. He asked Tong Xiaomei to get off at the next stop. Unexpectedly, Tong Xiaomei had already applied for demobilization from the army and wanted to accompany Xiao Chunsheng back to the train. After receiving treatment in Beijing, she firmly believed that Xiao Chunsheng could stand up. Xiao Chunsheng didn't want to drag her down, but Tong Xiaomei had already made up her mind, and Xiao Chunsheng was moved to tears.
Since Xiao Chunsheng's demobilization, Ye Guohua was overwhelmed by the stolen honor, and became more and more inferior in front of He Hongling. Ye Guohua decided to tell the truth. He told the military commander that Xiao Chunsheng risked his life to obtain intelligence, and even sacrificed his life for his heroic deeds of demining. Qi Tian and Xiao Yanqiu came to the station early and saw Xiao Chunsheng coming back in a wheelchair. They were both very sad. Xiao Yanqiu hugged Xiao Chunsheng tightly and welcomed him home.
Xiao Chunsheng returned to the home he had been away for a long time. The furnishings of the house remained the same, but his father Xiao Yanpei left forever. Xiao Yanqiu asked Qi Tian to go to the cafeteria to buy vegetables. When Xiao Chunsheng came to the room where Xiao Yanpei lived, he couldn't stop crying. Xiao Chunsheng was so sad that he couldn't even see his father for the last time.
Xiao Yanqiu learned that Tong Xiaomei had retired early because of Xiao Chunsheng. She was very grateful to Tong Xiaomei. Tong Xiaomei had already contacted an orthopedic specialist and believed that Xiao Chunsheng would recover after the operation. Tong Xiaomei saw Qitian's true feelings for Xiao Yanqiu, and advised her to cherish Qitian, but Xiao Yanqiu didn't want to mention these things, so she hurriedly changed the topic.
Xiao Chunsheng also saw that Qi Tian liked Xiao Yanqiu very much, and tried his best to bring them together. Xiao Yanqiu couldn't let go of Qi Tian's past experience, Xiao Chunsheng advised her not to take these things to heart, Xiao Yanqiu asked casually about the progress of Xiao Chunsheng and He Hongling's relationship, Xiao Chunsheng had to admit that they had broken up. After Ye Guohua told the truth, he was relieved, and the leader talked to him many times. He Hongling admired him very much. The army leaders decided to add the title of Xiao Chunsheng's battle hero after research.
When her parents learned that Tong Xiaomei applied for discharge for Xiao Chunsheng, they were very annoyed and trained her hard. Tong Xiaomei didn't regret it, and advised her parents not to interfere in her life. Tong Xiaomei contacted an orthopedic specialist as soon as she got home. Qi Tian and Xiao Yanqiu accompanied Xiao Chunsheng to find the specialist. The specialist offered two solutions. Because the shrapnel remained in the spine, the operation was very difficult, and if the operation failed, he would face death or permanent disability. Dangerous, if treated conservatively, the shrapnel, once dislodged, can also cause lifelong pain. Tong Xiaomei found out that experts had used the new method to perform such an operation, and the success rate was only 70%. Xiao Chunsheng considered and decided on the operation again and again.
He Hongling was appointed as the captain of the band. Leader Huang and his comrades congratulated her together, but He Hongling couldn't be happy. Ye Guohua gave He Hongling a bouquet of flowers to express his congratulations, and took her out for a drive to relax. Ye Fang and Chen Hongjun came to the hospital to see Xiao Chunsheng. Xiao Chunsheng heard that Ye Fang wanted to continue his studies and that Chen Hongjun was about to become a national cadre. He congratulated Chen Hongjun repeatedly. Chen Hongjun had to wait for the interview results tomorrow.
Ye Fang accompanied Chen Hongjun to the interview, and there was a long queue in front of him. Chen Hongjun was full of confidence and wanted to marry Ye Fang after the interview was successful, but Ye Fang hesitated to speak. Experts took out two shrapnel from Xiao Chunsheng's spine, but she didn't know if there was any damage to the nerves. She could only be sure when Xiao Chunsheng woke up. Xiao Yanqiu, Qi Tian and Tong Xiaomei felt uneasy.
A week later, Xiao Chunsheng finally came to his senses. Experts examined him carefully and found that the sensory ability of his right leg was poor. It was suspected that the injury was caused by surgical bleeding. The experts told Tong Xiaomei the truth. Xiao Chunsheng tried to move his lower limbs, his toes moved flexibly, Xiao Yanqiu and Qi Tian were very happy, Tong Xiaomei found a rehabilitation hospital for Xiao Chunsheng, and promised to accompany him for rehabilitation, Xiao Chunsheng didn't want to trouble Tong Xiaomei any more.
Tong Xiaomei checked the information on postoperative rehabilitation every night, and came to the hospital during the day to do rehabilitation training for Xiao Chunsheng. Xiao Chunsheng endured the pain and cooperated. Tomorrow Xiao Chunsheng will be discharged from the hospital. Come early in the morning to pick up Xiao Chunsheng and leave the hospital.
