Chapter 101 Meningococcus

Intern Li gritted his teeth and said, "Comrade Feng Aiguo, what nonsense are you spouting? We're the ones making trouble! You're clearly biased towards other group members. We're just expressing our thoughts normally. Why don't we have the right to speak?"

Feng Aiguo's friends retorted, "We're not saying you can't speak, we just don't want you to keep talking. Comrade Feng Aiguo has already said no, but you keep talking."

Intern Li was so angry she laughed. Feng Aiguo's research was going in the wrong direction, and they weren't even allowed to say it?

He said dejectedly, "If that's how you put it, then I have nothing to say. Anyway, we're no longer in the same project team, so say whatever you want, it's none of our business."

Seeing Li's demeanor, Feng Aiguo felt he had won against Li and his group. He proudly raised his head and walked past Li with an air of superiority, saying, "Since you have nothing to say, then you'd better leave the project team I'm in charge of!"

Intern Li and the others took a deep breath and tried to calm themselves down.

Seeing this, Lin Yuanshu whispered to comfort him, "Comrade Feng Aiguo is not mentally sound. Don't take it to heart. After you join our project team, there's no need to pay attention to Comrade Feng Aiguo anymore."

Intern Li and the others nodded. Compared to Feng Aiguo, they now had an extremely good impression of Lin Yuanshu. At least Lin Yuanshu wouldn't wrong them or blame them for all the mistakes.

Lin Yuanshu didn't let Li and the others be idle. She immediately assigned them tasks. She was really short-staffed right now, and she was doing the work of two people. She wished she could be in two places at once.

Li, the intern, and the others didn't say much and immediately began working according to Lin Yuanshu's instructions. If the group leader had his own ideas, they wouldn't express them.

The real danger is that the team leader doesn't have a clear understanding of the situation and keeps making mistakes, like Comrade Feng Aiguo, whose plan was good, but whose ideas were too numerous and miscellaneous.

Meanwhile, Feng Aiguo and his colleagues, who had left the lab, were still gloating. Feng Aiguo's friends praised his actions, saying that he not only made an example of them but also forced the members with ulterior motives to leave their project team. Now, the project team was their sole authority, and they could conduct whatever experiments they wanted.

Feng Aiguo said confidently, "I've already told you all that you won't suffer if you follow me. I can easily handle this little matter. Now all we need to do is unite and work hard to complete the plan."

“Okay.” The team members agreed in unison.

Meanwhile, inside the First Research Institute, Team Leader Lü, with a smile on his face, entered Team Leader Bai's laboratory and said in a cheeky tone, "Team Leader Bai, I didn't expect you and Comrade Lin Yuanshu to be so destined for each other. You were both in charge of improving the production process of sulfadiazine before, and now you're both researching acetaminophen. I wonder who will make a breakthrough first! If Comrade Lin Yuanshu makes a breakthrough first, then we'll have a good show to watch!"

Team Leader Bai was taken aback for a moment, then denied it, saying, "What nonsense are you spouting? How come you don't know about this?"

Team Leader Lü said confidently, "I heard this from Comrade Lin Yuanshu's teacher, how could it be wrong! You are really focused on your research now, ignoring everything else. I hope your results will be worthy of your efforts."

Team Leader Bai took a deep breath and said irritably, "Thank you for your concern, but you can leave now. I'm busy with experiments and don't have time to deal with you."

Team Leader Lü gave a helpless look. "Alright! You go ahead and do your thing. After all, it would be embarrassing if you were slow."

Team Leader Bai finally couldn't hold back and said sarcastically, "Yeah! I still have a lot to do, which is better than you. You've been researching drugs for two years and haven't come up with anything. You're always loafing around. People who don't know you would think your job is just to wander around."

The two parted on bad terms.

After Team Leader Lü left, Team Leader Bai immediately called Li Jia into his office and questioned her with a serious expression: "What has Comrade Lin Yuanshu been up to lately?"

Without hesitation, Li Jia chose to lie, saying, "I didn't do anything, just went to work and came home."

Team Leader Bai took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, saying, "Team Leader Lü already told me that Lin Yuanshu is now in charge of researching acetaminophen, which is similar to my research project. Why didn't you say something so important?"

Li Jia said in surprise, "What a coincidence! I didn't know! Team Leader Bai, it's not that I didn't want to tell you, but I simply couldn't find out. Comrade Lin Yuanshu works at the Dongfanghong Research Institute, and it's not easy to find out what's going on inside the institute. Just like when Comrade Lin Yuanshu wanted to find out about our laboratory, he was completely clueless."

Upon hearing this, Team Leader Bai did not understand Li Jia's predicament. Instead, he cursed, "What a useless piece of trash."

Li Jia said unhappily, "How can you say that to me? I've taken the blame for so many things because of you. Since you look down on me so much, there's no need for me to stay in your research group. I'll apply to transfer to another group."

Team Leader Bai frowned as he looked at Li Jia. He hadn't expected Li Jia to have such a wild way of thinking. All she did was call someone a "useless person"! And she started making a fuss about being transferred to another team. These young people nowadays really don't understand the rules at all.

"I will not sign the application," Team Leader Bai said firmly. Li Jia knew so many of his secrets, so she felt more at ease staying by his side.

Li Jia also stated firmly, "If you don't sign my application, I'll tell everyone what you told me to do. I'm just an ordinary intern, there's nothing to be afraid of. On the contrary, you've caused such a farce, and your path to promotion won't be as smooth as Team Leader Lü's. You don't want Team Leader Lü to become your boss, do you?"

She's completely given up now, acting like a dead pig that's not afraid of boiling water.

Team Leader Bai's expression was serious as he coldly asked, "Are you threatening me?"

Li Jia broke down in tears, saying, "I didn't, I really don't know what to do? I really want to complete the task you asked me to do, but I just can't. I've never done anything like this before..."

Team Leader Bai looked at Li Jia, who was crying with tears and snot all over her face, and showed a look of disgust. Women are just not good at big things. They are too timid. She broke down like this just because she was put in charge of monitoring Lin Yuanshu. If she were put in charge of something more important, wouldn't she scare herself to death?

He frowned and said, "Don't cry in front of me. It's so annoying. I'll sign the application. If you dare to tell anyone what I told you, you'll regret ever having a mouth."

Li Jia nodded quickly.

Team Leader Bai waved his hand, signaling that Li Jia could leave.

Li Jia turned and left without hesitation. Sometimes, tears can be quite effective in dealing with men.

She can finally leave the wolf den of Team Leader Bai. It's not that Team Leader Bai is bad, it's just that Team Leader Bai's mind is too messed up right now. He doesn't focus on research, but on outsiders. He's really too stupid.

She originally wanted to remind Comrade Lin Yuanshu to be wary of Team Leader Bai, but then she thought that Comrade Lin Yuanshu had become an assistant researcher before her, so it was impossible for him to be completely without vigilance. It was better not to cause any unnecessary trouble.

Team Leader Bai couldn't help but sigh. If he had known things would turn out this way, he would have preferred to let Lin Yuanshu work at the First Research Institute. At least that way, Lin Yuanshu would be under his watchful eye, and he wouldn't have to worry about Lin Yuanshu causing any big trouble!

All he can do now is speed up his research and try to produce results faster than Lin Yuanshu as soon as possible, to prove his own abilities and prevent Team Leader Lü from using Lin Yuanshu to attack him.

The sun rose and set, and the day passed just like that. To be honest, Lin Yuanshu was quite grateful for Feng Aiguo's gift. It had increased the number of her group members so easily. Moreover, after what happened with Feng Aiguo, the interns were now extremely obedient to her and had no intention of causing trouble at all.

After all, if she were to kick them out of the group like Feng Aiguo did, they wouldn't leave a good impression on Team Leader Zhuang, and it wouldn't be so easy for them to get promoted in the future.

After this incident, the other team members dared not cause any trouble. They also did not want to join the project team led by Feng Aiguo. They had not thought that Comrade Feng Aiguo was unreliable before, but since he was put in charge of the project team, his shortcomings have been completely exposed.

With the help of Comrade Feng Aiguo, the team members in charge of the project became more united. Comrade Feng Aiguo is a really good person!

Lin Yuanshu had just gotten home from get off work and hadn't even sat down to catch his breath when he was pulled into the room by Sister-in-law Xue, who looked distressed.

Sister-in-law Xue couldn't help but complain, "My younger sister's husband died at such an inopportune time. How could such a perfectly healthy person just die like that? Ever since my younger sister moved in, my status in the family has plummeted. My parents are ridiculously doting on Gouzi. After Gouzi came along, they stopped playing with Xiao Ruyi and just spent all their time playing with Gouzi. And my younger sister, of all people, she had to be friends with Sun Yiyi. Those two are inseparable now, like two peas in a pod. Sun Yiyi is Aunt Wei's daughter-in-law, and Aunt Wei is the person our mother hates the most..."

Lin Yuanshu's expression was quite subtle. Sister-in-law Xue had become a complete lemon, almost dying of sourness. When she was befriending Sun Yiyi, she hadn't considered Zhou Ma's thoughts. Now that her younger sister was befriending Sun Yiyi, she suddenly remembered Zhou Ma.

She comforted her, saying, "Try to think positively. Your little sister won't stay at home forever. Things will be fine once she leaves."

Sister-in-law Xue said thoughtfully, "Aunt Li also comforted our mother in the same way, saying that it would be better if you left. But now you're still hanging around in front of our mother, making her angry."

Lin Yuanshu: "..."

It seems that she and Aunt Zhou are truly on the same wavelength; she wants to leave, and Aunt Zhou is also hoping she will leave.

Sister-in-law Xue complained to Lin Yuanshu for more than half an hour before her mood improved. She said confidently, "Second daughter-in-law, we two are on the same side. If you have a conflict with your mother-in-law, my younger sister will definitely help her. Only I will help you without hesitation."

She was determined to make Lin Yuanshu hate her younger sister just like she did.

While flipping through the magazine, Lin Yuanshu replied perfunctorily, "You're right."

Tonight's dinner was cooked by Zhou Xiangling again: stir-fried water spinach with minced garlic and cucumber salad, served with cornbread buns—a simple and bland meal.

After eating vegetarian food for a month, Zhou Ma couldn't take it anymore. She also discovered the flaw in the plan: Lin Yuanshu and the others could still eat oily dishes in the cafeteria at noon, but she couldn't!

Because the eldest daughter-in-law has to feed little Ruyi, steamed egg custard is a must every other day.

So in the end, she was the only one who managed to be frugal for a month, her face almost turning pale from eating so much. But she was too embarrassed to suggest that she shouldn't be so frugal and should eat better, since she kept complaining that Lin Yuanshu was extravagant and not frugal at all.

Sister-in-law Xue deliberately nitpicked, "Little sister, you should ask Xiangyang for advice before you cook next time. How can we eat something that tastes so bad?" Zhou Xiangling said aggrievedly, "Sister-in-law, I didn't mean to. I've always cooked like this since I was little, and my parents never said it was bad, so I thought I was doing a good job! I'll ask my second brother for advice next time. I hope he won't mind and that I'm bothering you."

Seeing his younger sister looking extremely aggrieved, the older brother spoke up, "Don't listen to your sister-in-law. I think this dish is quite delicious; she's just too talkative."

Since his younger sister moved in with him, he no longer needs to wash dishes or cook. He doesn't want his younger sister to be like Lin Yuanshu, wanting to be a hands-off manager.

Sister-in-law Xue never expected her husband to step forward to protect her younger sister. She gritted her teeth and said, "These days, people can't even speak the truth."

Fortunately, it wasn't Lin Yuanshu who jumped in to protect her younger sister, otherwise she would have felt even more upset.

The little girl didn't understand the tension between the adults. She looked at the cornbread with disdain and said to Zhou Ma in a spoiled tone, "Grandma, I want to eat meat. Big Brother Zhuang upstairs gets to eat meat, but I don't."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ma touched the dog's face and said with shining eyes, "Grandma's good grandson wants to eat meat. Okay, we'll eat meat tomorrow."

That's the reason!

She looked up at Lin Yuanshu and instructed, "Second wife, when you have time, go to the slaughterhouse and buy some minced meat. It's okay for us adults to be frugal, but we can't let the children go hungry. Also, put more oil in the cooking so that the children can eat well and grow tall."

The dog excitedly shouted, "Great! We'll have meat tomorrow!"

Zhou Xiangling quickly stopped him, saying, "Mom, there's no need to waste food like that. He's just a kid and doesn't know anything. Why should he eat meat? Just have some scrambled eggs with chives. That's enough."

Zhou Ma firmly refused, saying, "No, I can't let my precious grandson suffer. If he wants to eat meat, we have to make sure he does."

She didn't want to keep eating bland, watery food.

Lin Yuanshu looked at Zhou Ma with great surprise. This was the legendary special affection between grandparents and grandchildren! Zhou Ma usually scolded her son whenever she wanted and bossed her daughter around. She never expected her to be so good to her grandson. It was really beyond her expectations.

Zhou Xiangling still disagreed, and she gave a troubled look, "Mom, you'll spoil the dog if you do this."

Zhou's mother retorted without hesitation, "Gouzi is so sensible, how could we spoil him! Gouzi just wants to eat better, what wrong has he done?"

The dog nodded, looking very proud, and said, "Yes, I'm very well-behaved."

Zhou Xiangling looked at Lin Yuanshu helplessly and said, "Second sister-in-law, please try to persuade Mom!"

Seeing this, Sister-in-law Xue rolled her eyes. She was clearly closer to Zhou Xiangling, yet Zhou Xiangling sought help from Lin Yuanshu. Wasn't she just trying to get closer to Lin Yuanshu? How scheming!

Lin Yuanshu raised an eyebrow, not trying to persuade Zhou Ma, but instead asked with a smile, "Mom, aren't you being thrifty anymore?"

Zhou's mother smiled awkwardly and said seriously, "Frugality is important, but health is just as important. We can be frugal in other areas, so there's no need to be frugal with food."

Sister-in-law Xue fell into deep thought. Besides being frugal with food, where else could the family be frugal?

She thought about it for a long time, but couldn't come up with a solution.

Because Zhou's mother couldn't persevere, the Zhou family's frugality plan had to be abandoned after only one month.

The family's diet has returned to its previous level.

The happiest person was the dog. He ate well, played well, and all that was missing was a new outfit.

Meanwhile, in Yunjin County, a neighboring province of Beijing, at the county hospital, a patient suddenly collapsed and lost consciousness after the doctor had just finished inquiring about his condition.

Seeing this, the nurse was about to help the patient up.

The doctor quickly pulled the nurse aside, his expression serious. "The patient complains of a headache and has a fever above 39 degrees Celsius. His neck is as stiff as a stone slab. These are symptoms of meningitis, most likely meningococcal meningitis, which is contagious. Go put on a mask first, and when you come back, we'll immediately transfer him to the isolation ward. Also, ask the other nurses to notify the nurses in the isolation ward to prepare penicillin and sulfadiazine tablets in advance. This patient's condition is quite serious..."

The nurse covered her mouth and nose, nodded earnestly, and dared not speak, fearing that she would be infected because she did not have a mask.

Before the hospital could report the outbreak to the county health bureau and epidemic prevention station, the hospital's isolation wards were already full of meningococcal meningitis patients. They had to convert ordinary wards into isolation areas to receive new meningococcal meningitis patients.

The stock of medicines is decreasing at an extremely rapid rate.

Although the county hospital's drug supply is not yet insufficient, meningococcal meningitis is contagious, and the large number of meningococcal meningitis patients means that there are many more patients in the incubation period.

In response to the emergence of meningococcal meningitis patients at the hospital, the hospital director immediately convened an emergency meeting and decisively instructed the vice director, "You must immediately report this to the county health bureau and the epidemic prevention station to prevent more meningococcal meningitis patients from appearing."

“Okay,” the vice dean readily agreed.

The hospital director then said to the logistics manager, "Go and take stock of the penicillin and sulfadiazine tablets in a moment. Then urgently request the county health and epidemic prevention station to allocate penicillin and sulfadiazine tablets. If the health and epidemic prevention station cannot allocate them, then seek help from higher-level hospitals. Although we are not currently experiencing a shortage of medicines, judging from the number of new cases today, there will only be more patients tomorrow. We need to plan ahead and not wait until we run out of medicines before applying for allocations."

If meningococcal meningitis patients do not receive timely medication, their lives may be in danger, so it is better to do so sooner rather than later.

The logistics manager took a deep breath and said firmly, "I'll get on it right now."

As soon as the meeting ended, the logistics manager went to see the health and epidemic prevention station and the cadres. The cadres said helplessly, "The health and epidemic prevention station doesn't have penicillin and sulfadiazine tablets right now. They were distributed to various production brigades a long time ago. Because the health clinics of the production brigades have also seen meningococcal patients, I can only apply to the higher authorities for allocation. I hope the higher authorities can take into account the large number of meningococcal patients in our county and send the medicine over as soon as possible."

The logistics manager frowned and said, "It seems that this outbreak of meningitis is quite serious, completely different from the previous minor incidents."

The official sighed, "Sigh, I hope the medicine can arrive in time! Otherwise, the losses to the people will be too great. A life is related to the integrity of a family."

The logistics manager nodded in agreement. He didn't have time to chat with the cadres right now; he had to rush to the higher-level hospital to apply for a transfer, hoping that the higher-level hospital could be more supportive.

He returned to the hospital, told the director about the situation at the health and epidemic prevention station, and then took the hospital's official vehicle to the higher-level hospital.

The dean watched the logistics manager's departing figure, hoping everything would go smoothly and more lives could be saved.

After arriving at the higher-level hospital, the logistics manager went straight to the pharmacy department, presented the approval documents from the county health bureau, and explained his purpose.

Upon hearing this, the head of the pharmacy department smiled and said, "You guys are really lucky. Our hospital just received a batch of sulfadiazine tablets. I heard that Comrade Lin Yuanshu in Beijing has improved the production process of sulfadiazine tablets, which allows us to produce more and better quality sulfadiazine tablets in a shorter time. We are now being allocated more sulfadiazine tablets than before. I heard that even remote clinics near Beijing are no longer short of sulfadiazine tablets."

The logistics manager said excitedly, "This is really good news. I wish our hospital could also have enough sulfadiazine tablets."

The head of the pharmacy department said thoughtfully, "It's not impossible. Once our local pharmaceutical factory changes the production process for sulfadiazine tablets, we won't be short of sulfadiazine tablets. It would be great if Comrade Lin Yuanshu could also improve the production process for penicillin."

The logistics manager couldn't help but show a hint of anticipation on his face; the world was suffering from a severe shortage of penicillin!

Because the allocation of the logistics manager was an emergency, all procedures were expedited and completed quickly. The logistics manager returned to the county hospital with a batch of medicines, which contained less penicillin and more sulfadiazine tablets.

As soon as the logistics manager returned to the hospital, he was summoned by the hospital director, who anxiously asked, "How did it go? Has the higher-level hospital approved the transfer?"

This afternoon, more than a dozen meningococcal patients were admitted to the hospital, and he was really worried that the hospital would run out of medicines.

The logistics manager smiled and said, "Not only did they agree to the allocation, but they also let me bring it back on the spot. I put the penicillin in the refrigeration unit and the sulfadiazine tablets in the medicine warehouse. Although there isn't much penicillin, there is definitely enough sulfadiazine tablets."

The dean patted the head of logistics on the shoulder with delight and praised him, "You did a great job on this, better than I expected."

The logistics manager smiled sheepishly and said truthfully, "The main problem is that the higher-level hospitals don't lack sulfadiazine tablets right now. I heard that Comrade Lin Yuanshu from Beijing improved the production process of sulfadiazine tablets, which is why we were able to apply for so many tablets..."

Upon hearing this good news, the hospital director exclaimed, "If only we had a few more comrades as capable as him, then the hospital wouldn't be facing a situation where there are no cures."

The logistics manager confidently stated, "The country will get better and better, and hospitals will definitely not experience drug shortages in the future."

Not only did the county hospital receive the medicines, but the health and epidemic prevention station also obtained them through allocation.

With the continuous support of sulfadiazine tablets, meningococcal meningitis in Yunjin County has been brought under control. Patients with mild symptoms only need to see a doctor at the township health center, while only patients with severe symptoms go to the county hospital.

Thanks to the efforts of all medical staff, only three patients died in this outbreak of meningococcal meningitis in Yunjin County. Their deaths were not due to a lack of timely treatment, but rather due to other complications caused by meningococcal meningitis in their old age.

In this type of large-scale localized infection event, the number of deaths is relatively small. It is thanks to the timely delivery of sulfadiazine tablets that not only patients can take them, but they can also take them preventively.

Local party newspapers and radio stations reported on this matter.

When this news reached Beijing, the Health Bureau was very satisfied. It seemed that with sufficient medicine, meningitis was not so scary at all. They felt that they could continue to promote the improved sulfadiazine tablet production process to other regions, so that the country would no longer face the problem of sulfadiazine tablet shortage.

At this moment, the director of the health bureau realized that due to Lin Yuanshu's job transfer, he had not yet issued the official commendation document. Therefore, he not only awarded Lin Yuanshu the "Advanced Worker" certificate, but also publicly praised Lin Yuanshu's achievements at the meeting.

The radio station in Beijing also reported on Comrade Lin Yuanshu's contributions to the epidemic prevention work in Yunjin County. Although the central theme of the report was to emphasize scientific research serving practice, it did bring Lin Yuanshu to the attention of leaders and made him famous in Beijing again.

The residents of Beijing were proud that such a remarkable person had emerged from their area.

This incident also brought Lin Yuanshu many benefits. The most obvious one was that the staff of the research institute respected her a lot more, not only her own group members, but also members of other groups.

Although the institute's staff knew that Comrade Lin Yuanshu had improved the production process of sulfadiazine tablets, they didn't have a concrete understanding of it. After seeing the overwhelming publicity in Beijing, they gained a clear understanding of it.

They now admire Lin Yuanshu immensely, believing that her work ability is truly well-deserved. She squeezed into the research institute and became an assistant researcher purely on her own merits, and now no one doubts that Lin Yuanshu has become an assistant researcher.

Even Mas put aside his prejudice against Lin Yuanshu and admitted that Lin Yuanshu's abilities were indeed slightly better than most of the interns in the research institute.

The plan to gain Director Huang's favor by causing Lin Yuanshu's failure is no longer viable.

Hong Shuang'er was very pleased with this. The stronger Lin Yuanshu's work ability, the greater their hope of improving the acetaminophen production process.

The team members in charge of Lin Yuanshu's project became even more dedicated to the project, and they also aspired to gain recognition and achievements like Lin Yuanshu.

Human joys and sorrows are not shared. The team members in charge of Lin Yuanshu's project were full of enthusiasm, while the team members in charge of Feng Aiguo's project were all listless.

Feng Aiguo couldn't help but complain, "If Comrade Lin Yuanshu has this ability, why is he even in our group? Why doesn't he just go and take charge of a complete project? Why does he have to compete with us..."

One of the members answered in a low voice, "I heard that Director Huang originally intended for Comrade Lin Yuanshu to be in charge of a project by himself, but Comrade Lin Yuanshu only joined our research group after Team Leader Zhuang made a strong request."

Feng Aiguo said in a frantic tone, "How can we possibly surpass Lin Yuanshu now? There's no way we can."

Unless you resort to underhanded tactics, you can't win in a fair and square competition.

Another member held Feng Aiguo's shoulder to prevent him from continuing to act impulsively and lost control. He said solemnly, "It is undeniable that Comrade Lin Yuanshu has a strong work ability, but we are not inferior to him. We have studied acetaminophen for so long, and our understanding of acetaminophen is no worse than anyone else's. We cannot be defeated by ourselves. Now we only need to focus on one thing, which is to complete the plan and task. We cannot be defeated without a fight."

These words were met with approval from the other members, and everyone's morale soared considerably.

Lin Yuanshu saw this scene from a distance and couldn't help but shake his head. Feng Aiguo's leadership skills were really lacking. When something like this happened, instead of encouraging the members, he was saying discouraging things.

Feng Aiguo's proposed plan has no problems, but implementing it is not so easy.

Although she was pleased that her achievements were valued by her superiors, she also knew that the most important thing now was to continue to research and improve the production process of acetaminophen. Only these tangible results could keep her invincible.

Time slipped away unnoticed, and the apartment building of the Dongfanghong Research Institute was successfully renovated. The institute quickly established a housing allocation committee, and the employees began to prepare their housing applications.

When Hong Shuang'er saw Lin Yuanshu writing a housing allocation application, she said in surprise, "I didn't expect you to be preparing to apply for housing allocation as well. I really envy those of you who meet the requirements. It's a pity that I'm not married yet, so I can't apply for the time being. I also really want to move out."

Lin Yuanshu smiled and comforted him, "If you really want to move out of your home, you can apply for a single dormitory room."

Although Director Huang had promised to allocate her an apartment in a building, she still applied normally according to the housing allocation process so as not to attract too much attention.

Hong Shuang'er shook her head and said helplessly, "My parents will definitely not agree. At least living at home is free, but living in a single dormitory not only costs money, but there is also no place to cook."

Lin Yuanshu said softly, "Then there's nothing we can do."
