The Youth Memories Episode 21 Recap
> The Youth Memories Recap
After Tong Xiaomei finished her surgery and learned that Xiao Chunsheng had already been discharged and returned to Beijing, she wasted no time and hurried to the train station. Just as the train was about to depart, Tong Xiaomei arrived in a rush. Xiao Chunsheng thought that Tong Xiaomei came to see him off. He claimed he could take care of himself and that the train attendant would provide warmth to this disabled person. He asked Tong Xiaomei to get off at the next station, but little did he know that Tong Xiaomei had already applied for demobilization from the military to accompany him back to Beijing for treatment. She firmly believed that Xiao Chunsheng could stand up again, and Xiao Chunsheng didn't want to burden her. However, Tong Xiaomei had already made up her mind, and Xiao Chunsheng was moved to tears.
Since Xiao Chunsheng's demobilization, Ye Guohua felt increasingly suffocated under the weight of stolen honors and became even more inferior in front of He Hongling. Ye Guohua decided to reveal the truth. He explained to the military leaders in great detail how Xiao Chunsheng risked his life to obtain intelligence and how he sacrificed himself to clear the landmines for him, showing heroic deeds. Qi Tian and Xiao Yanqiu arrived early at the train station and felt heavy-hearted seeing Xiao Chunsheng return in a wheelchair. Xiao Yanqiu hugged Xiao Chunsheng tightly, welcoming him back home.
Returning to the long-lost home, Xiao Chunsheng found that the furnishings remained the same, but his father, Xiao Yanpei, had already passed away. Xiao Yanqiu asked Qi Tian to go to the canteen to buy groceries. Xiao Chunsheng entered the room where his father used to live and couldn't hold back his tears. He was heartbroken and couldn't bear the pain. He hadn't even seen his father for the last time.
After learning that Tong Xiaomei had applied for demobilization for Xiao Chunsheng's sake, Xiao Yanqiu was grateful to her. Tong Xiaomei had already contacted an orthopedic specialist, believing that Xiao Chunsheng would fully recover after the surgery. Tong Xiaomei noticed the deep affection Qi Tian had for Xiao Yanqiu and advised her to cherish him. Xiao Yanqiu didn't want to discuss these matters and quickly changed the topic.
Xiao Chunsheng also noticed that Qi Tian had strong feelings for Xiao Yanqiu and did his best to bring them together. Xiao Yanqiu couldn't let go of Qi Tian's past experiences, but Xiao Chunsheng advised her not to dwell on those things. Xiao Yanqiu casually asked about the progress of Xiao Chunsheng's relationship with He Hongling, and Xiao Chunsheng had to admit that they had already broken up. After revealing the truth, Ye Guohua felt relieved, and the leaders sought him out multiple times for heartfelt conversations. He Hongling greatly admired him. The military leadership decided to confer Xiao Chunsheng with the title of a heroic fighter.
When the parents learned that Tong Xiaomei had applied for demobilization for Xiao Chunsheng, they became very angry and scolded her severely. However, Tong Xiaomei had no regrets and advised her parents not to interfere with her life. As soon as Tong Xiaomei returned home, she contacted an orthopedic specialist. Qi Tian and Xiao Yanqiu accompanied Xiao Chunsheng to meet the specialist. The specialist presented two solutions. Due to the shrapnel remaining in his spine, the surgery would be very difficult, and if it failed, it would pose a risk of death or lifelong disability. Conservative treatment would also result in lifelong pain if the shrapnel shifted. Tong Xiaomei discovered that the specialist had previously performed such a surgery using a new method with a success rate of only 70 percent. After careful consideration, Xiao Chunsheng decided to undergo the surgery.
He Hongling was appointed as the band leader, and Huang, along with their comrades, congratulated her. However, He Hongling couldn't be happy. Ye Guohua gave her a bouquet of flowers to congratulate her and took her out for a drive to relax. Ye Fang and Chen Hongjun came to the hospital to visit Xiao Chunsheng. When Xiao Chunsheng heard that Ye Fang wanted to continue her studies and that Chen Hongjun was about to become a national cadre, he repeatedly congratulated Chen Hongjun. Chen Hongjun had to wait for the interview results to come out tomorrow.
Ye Fang accompanied Chen Hongjun to the interview. There was a long queue ahead of them, but Chen Hongjun was full of confidence. He planned to marry Ye Fang after a successful interview, but Ye Fang hesitated to speak. The specialist removed two fragments from Xiao Chunsheng's spine, but they didn't know if the nerves had been damaged. They could only determine this once Xiao Chunsheng woke up, causing Xiao Yanqiu, Qi Tian, and Tong Xiaomei to feel anxious.
A week passed in the blink of an eye, and Xiao Chunsheng finally regained consciousness. The specialist conducted a thorough examination and found that his right leg had poor sensory perception, suspecting it was caused by bleeding during the surgery. The specialist informed Tong Xiaomei of the true situation. Xiao Chunsheng tried to move his lower limbs, and 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 during the rehabilitation process. However, Xiao Chunsheng didn't want to trouble Tong Xiaomei anymore.
Every night, Tong Xiaomei reviewed postoperative rehabilitation materials and came to the hospital during the day to provide rehabilitation training for Xiao Chunsheng. Xiao Chunsheng endured the pain and cooperated. Tomorrow, Xiao Chunsheng would be discharged, but Tong Xiaomei had an interview at the hospital and couldn't come to pick him up. Xiao Yanqiu and Qi Tian came early to accompany Xiao Chunsheng upon his discharge.
