Chapter 365: Shaman dance?
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yong put down his bowl and chopsticks and stood up, while the others continued to eat.
With a creaking sound——
Cao Biao, smiling, carried the gift and walked into the house one after Xing Laoqi.
Zhou Yong glanced at the gifts they each brought: "You're here, why are you bringing anything?"
Cao Biao was attracted by the smell of food and couldn't help sniffing. He must have been hungry. He swallowed his saliva and said, "We didn't buy this for you. We came to see uncle and aunt."
Zhang Guifang and Li Baotian have been injured for several days. Cao Biao, Xing Laoqi and Liu Dazhuang have always wanted to come and see them, but the three of them are too busy and have not made time. They only have time to come and visit the Li family tonight when they are here to carry out the mission.
Although Liu Dazhuang did not come, his thoughts were conveyed by Cao Biao.
Cao Biao and Xing Laoqi placed the gifts on the coffee table in the living room. They walked straight to the dining table. Looking at the table full of food, Xing Laoqi's stomach growled.
Zhou Yong raised his eyebrows secretly and asked Jiang Yue'e to add two sets of bowls and chopsticks. Cao Biao and Xing Laoqi washed their hands and went to the table.
"Why are you two so hungry?"
As soon as they sat down at the table, the two of them started to eat voraciously, which made Zhou Yong ask questions.
Cao Biao ate his meal and replied incoherently: "I still ate last night, but I'm starving..."
Xing Laoqi's situation is slightly better than his. He had breakfast this morning.
Zhou Yong pursed his lips. Xing Laoqi ate until he was three-quarters full before he was able to speak.
"I'm so busy every day that I don't have time to eat..."
During the crackdown, the busiest unit was the Criminal Police Brigade, which worked overtime to carry out their duties. The two of them had not been home for ten days.
Li Baotian sighed: "Nothing is easy."
Cao Biao nodded desperately and replied incoherently: "Uncle, you are right. The work of a criminal policeman is not a job for humans. Not only is it hard, but you often can't go home for several days..."
That’s not all. The low salary is life-threatening. If you want a promotion, you have to risk your life. Although they have long been accustomed to it, it is difficult to hide their inner complaints. After all, their efforts and rewards are far from proportional.
Li Baotian kept nodding his head: "Seventh Brother, is your finger injured?"
Xing Laoqi glanced at his injured left hand finger and said nonchalantly, "Uncle, these are minor injuries and will soon heal."
It is inevitable to suffer minor injuries while performing tasks, and these things have long been commonplace for them.
Li Baotian couldn't help showing a look of distress in his eyes: "Be careful."
Xing Laoqi responded with a smile and ate the food with relish.
"I'm dying of stuffiness."
Cao Biao eats so fast that if you don’t know him, you might think he is a refugee from the disaster area!
"I'm full too, you guys take your time eating."
While on a mission, it was already good enough to have a meal, so they had no time to sit down and chew slowly.
Zhou Yong shoveled the last bite of rice in the bowl into his mouth. Cao Biao and Xing Laoqi got up and went to the bedroom to see Zhang Guifang who was eating.
"Mom, do you need more food?"
Zhang Guifang smiled and shook her head: "Mom is full."
Zhou Yong said "oh", Cao Biao and Xing Laoqi looked at the time, and they got up and prepared to leave.
"Would you stay a while? It's hard to come here."
Cao Biao and Xing Laoqi wanted to stay a little longer, but they had a mission to complete.
"Aunt, we are on a mission. We just stopped by to see you and uncle. We will come back another day."
When Zhang Guifang heard this, she felt it was not appropriate to keep them, so Zhou Yong escorted them out the door.
Li Baotian stared at the backs of the three of them. Li Caiyun said to herself, "Dad, Brother Cao has obviously aged a lot in the past few years."
"Cao Biao is either forty-nine or fifty. How can he not look old?"
Li Caiyun frowned slightly: "Dad, Brother Cao is not that old, right?"
Li Baotian looked thoughtful and nodded: "Yes, Cao Biao will be fifty years old during the Chinese New Year."
Li Caiyun suddenly realized that the people around her were getting older.
"Mom, my stomach feels uncomfortable."
Zhou Kexin's words brought Li Caiyun's wandering thoughts back to reality.
Li Caiyun came to Zhou Kexin's side and asked, "Why is your stomach upset?"
Zhou Kexin frowned and shook her head slightly, obviously confused by the sudden discomfort in her stomach.
Li Caiyun helped Zhou Kexin, who looked in pain, back to the room. After a while, her face gradually turned pale.
"Nan Nan, go call your dad."
Zhou Kerou, who followed him into the room, responded, and soon Zhou Yong hurried into the room of his eldest children.
"Niuniu, why does your stomach hurt?"
Zhou Kexin lay hunched on the kang: "Mom, I can't explain it, I just have a stomachache."
Zhou Yong touched Zhou Kexin's forehead and said, "Don't be afraid. Dad will find Doctor Shen for you."
Zhou Kexin responded, and Zhou Yong rode his bicycle to Dr. Shen's house.
After an examination, Doctor Shen stared at Zhou Kexin for a moment, asked her to take a painkiller, and then packed up the medicine box with a wandering look in his eyes.
Zhou Yong and Li Caiyun looked at the expression on Doctor Shen's face, and the couple couldn't help but look at each other.
"Doctor Shen, what's wrong with Niuniu?"
Doctor Shen closed the lid of the medicine box and gave the couple a look: "It's nothing, just a cold."
Li Caiyun and Zhou Yong were very nervous. Doctor Shen picked up the medicine box and walked out. The couple quickly followed him.
When they got outside, Doctor Shen said tactfully, "Niuniu's body temperature is very severe, and it has affected her future fertility."
Li Caiyun's face turned pale instantly: "Doctor Shen, your diagnosis is correct, right?"
Doctor Shen pursed his lips, his expression very serious: "You two should take Niuniu to a big hospital for a checkup. I hope I made a mistake in my diagnosis."
Li Caiyun's legs went weak and she couldn't stand steadily. She and Zhou Yong knew very well how good Doctor Shen's medical skills were.
Zhou Yong quickly supported Li Caiyun. Doctor Shen spoke again: "Her cold body problem is related to her being a premature baby."
This was all he had to say. Doctor Shen was reluctant to continue. After all, it was a heart-wrenching matter, and he knew that no parent would be able to accept this fact.
After seeing off Doctor Shen, Li Caiyun seemed to have lost her soul. She stood beside Zhou Yong and muttered, "What should I do?"
Zhou Yong frowned and said, "Let's take Niuniu to a big hospital in the provincial capital for a checkup tomorrow. Maybe the situation isn't that serious."
Li Caiyun nodded continuously, her eyes reddened and she choked with sobs, "Don't let Dad know about this, or he'll be ready to die."
Zhou Yong pursed his lips. Li Caiyun couldn't hold it back anymore and tears started streaming down her face the moment she lowered her head.
"Don't cry. If Niuniu sees you coming into the house like this, she will think too much."
Li Caiyun wiped away her tears: "Niuniu has a miserable life. She was born prematurely before the full term. It was hard to raise her. From childhood to adulthood, it seems that disasters have never stopped happening to her..."
Zhou Yong frowned slightly, his thoughts drifting away, and his eldest daughter's growth experience emerged in his mind.
Li Caiyun suggested with tears in her eyes: "Zhou Yong, how about we find a shaman to perform for Niuniu?"
Shaman dance?
Li Caiyun added: "I'm not superstitious, I just feel like Niu Niu always seems to be accompanied by misfortune..."
Zhou Yong glanced at Li Caiyun who said this: "You are just superstitious. If shaman dance is really that effective, there will be no doctor profession, and hospitals will not exist in the world..."
