Chapter 343: A Mother's Worry When Her Son Travels Afar
After Bai Chunhua finished her breakfast in the hospital, the doctor came to examine her again and discharged her.
Gu Hongmei went to handle the discharge procedures for her. She looked at the discharge form and found that she had spent 26 yuan on hospitalization for these few days.
This is because it is a military hospital. If it were any other hospital, the cost would probably be more than this.
After reading the discharge form, Bai Chunhua was thinking about paying back the money as soon as possible.
Bai Chunhua followed Gu Hongmei back to the military family compound. As soon as they entered the gate, Yaya ran up to them.
"Mom, you are finally discharged from the hospital." Yaya hugged her mother's thighs happily.
Bai Chunhua touched her daughter's head lovingly, "Mom is out of the hospital, we can start looking for Dad."
"It's cold outside, come in quickly." Yu Hui stood at the door and waved to Bai Chunhua.
Bai Chunhua took her daughter's hand and walked into the main room. There was a fire-warming oven in the room, which was warmer than outside.
"How do you feel?" Yu Hui asked Bai Chunhua.
Judging from her complexion, she looks much better than the first day I met her.
Bai Chunhua sat on a cushioned chair, raised her head and said, "I'm fine now. I've really troubled you these days. I will definitely pay back the hospital bills as soon as possible."
Yu Hui smiled and shook her head. "There's no rush. The most important thing is to get your health back on track."
"You are not in good health, and it is not convenient for you to stay in a guesthouse with your child. You can stay at home for the next two days."
"How can this be so embarrassing..." Bai Chunhua didn't know what to say, but in her current situation, she didn't have the money to stay in a guesthouse.
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. You two, mother and daughter, can live in Hongmei's house."
Yu Hui had already made arrangements. The two of them would live in Gu Hongmei's room, and Gu Hongmei would stay in the study for a few days. The bed in the study had already been made.
"Thank you so much." Bai Chunhua's eyes were red.
"You've been away from home for so long, have you lost contact with them? Do you want to call them or write a letter?" Yu Hui asked.
Yaya said, "There's a phone in my grandpa's office."
Yu Hui and Gu Hongmei both looked at Bai Chunhua, who lowered her head and said, "My father is the head of our village, and the village office has a telephone installed."
"Do you remember the number? Why don't you call home? We have a phone at home."
Yaya: “I remember.”
Bai Chunhua bit her lip and said, "I don't want to call home until I find the child's father."
From the time she wanted to marry Yaya's father to the time she wanted to bring Yaya out to find her father, her family was very opposed to it.
She has always been the one who insists on having her own way.
She has been away from home for such a long time and still hasn't found Yaya's father. Now she has ended up in this situation. She doesn't want to, nor does she have the face to call home. She is even more afraid of being blamed by her family.
Yu Hui frowned and said softly, "But have you ever thought that your family will be worried if you haven't received a letter or a phone call for such a long time?"
Bai Chunhua raised her head. "Will they really be worried?"
Before leaving home, her father's words, "I'll wait for you to come back crying with the child," are still ringing in her ears.
Dad is obviously waiting for her to go back in disgrace and laugh at her. Is he really worried about her and Yaya?
She brought Yaya to see her father at this time, actually because she was angry with her family.
Family members kept saying to her from time to time that Yaya’s father would definitely not come back and he didn’t want her and Yaya anymore.
I told you not to marry that pretty boy long ago, but you didn't listen. Now look what happened. You have hurt yourself and your child, and our whole family can't hold our heads up.
She felt extremely uncomfortable. Not only did she feel that the villagers were laughing at her and Yaya, but even her family members felt the same way.
Only then did her father get a letter of introduction and bring Yaya out.
"How can I not worry?" Gu Hongmei said, "A mother worries about her son even when he is thousands of miles away, and the same goes for her daughter."
Yu Hui could tell that she must have had some conflicts with her family before she left, so she said that she didn't want to call home until she found Yaya's father.
"No matter what conflicts you have with your family, I think you should call them now."
Bai Chunhua was silent for a long time before she raised her head and said, "I'll fight."
Bai Chunhua already knew the village office's phone number by heart, so she asked Yu Hui to help her dial the number.
The call was connected, and a somewhat hoarse and low male voice came from the other end of the line, "Hello, this is the Qingxi Village Office."
When Bai Chunhua heard this familiar voice, her throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton and she couldn't utter a word. Tears welled up in her eyes.
"Hello, who is this?"
The person on the other end of the phone saw that no one was talking, seemed to have thought of something, and became a little anxious.
"Speak up, who are you?"
"Wow, wow, wow..." Bai Chunhua couldn't help crying out loud.
"Is it Chunhua?"
"Are you Chunhua? Say something." The voice on the other end of the phone was choked.
"Dad..." Bai Chunhua finally shouted.
"Chunhua, you damn girl, where have you been? It's been over a month since you last called or sent a single letter. Your mother and I are so worried."
"I was planning to ask your brother to go look for you and your mother in the next couple of days."
"Dad, I'm sorry." Bai Chunhua covered her face and apologized crying.
"Where the hell are you now?"
"We have arrived in the city where Yaya's father is. We are doing well now and are still living in the military district's military compound."
After hearing this, the person on the other end of the phone finally felt relieved.
Although I don’t know why my daughter and granddaughter ended up living in the military district’s military family compound, and how much hardship they had endured before, at least they are safe now.
"Have you found that bastard?"
Bai Chunhua: "Not yet, but the leader who let Yaya and I live at home said he would help us find Yaya's father."
"I asked someone to contact the educated youth who came with that bastard. I found out that his grandfather was once labeled a rightist and was the principal of Yucheng No. 1 Middle School. He lived in an alley across the street from the school."
"Go look for it over there."
This was a pleasant surprise. "Really?"
"Of course it's true! The educated youth said that the bastard told them when he was bragging on the train."
"I'll go look for it tomorrow." Bai Chunhua's tone was filled with unconcealable joy.
"...If you find that beast and he doesn't want you, then you can bring Yaya back. Dad will support you for the rest of your life."
The man on the other end of the phone hung up immediately after he finished speaking.
Bai Chunhua burst into tears while holding the phone.
"Mom." Yaya hugged her mother and cried together.
"Yaya, we will find daddy soon. We will go find daddy tomorrow."
"Do you have Yaya's father's address?" Yu Hui asked Bai Chunhua.
Bai Chunhua wiped her tears and nodded, "Yes, my dad contacted other educated youth and found out. He said that Yaya's father's grandfather was the principal of Yucheng No. 1 Middle School. He was labeled a rightist and his family lived in an alley across the street from the school."
Yu Hui thought for a moment and said, "Since Yaya's father was able to return to the city, his grandfather must have been rehabilitated. He's also the principal. If we ask around in the area, we should be able to find him."
"We'll go into the city with you tomorrow to look for it."
Bai Chunhua took Yu Hui's hand gratefully and said, "Xiaohui, thank you so much. It's all thanks to you that I called home. Otherwise, I would have missed such important information."
"Let's not talk about that. It would be great if we could find the person as soon as possible. However..." Yu Hui changed the subject, "Although saying this at a time like this might be a bit of a letdown, you still have to be mentally prepared."
The smile on Bai Chunhua's face disappeared. She bit her lip and nodded gently. "I've thought about all the possibilities in my mind thousands of times. If he really..., I'll just take Yaya home."
