Zhang Tiantian excitedly sat up from the bed: "Why don't we leave the hospital and go home? I feel like I've laid down enough and want to get out of bed and walk around. I feel uncomfortable all over.
I've been sleeping for more than a day and my back and waist are aching. I want to go home. When I get home, I can sit in the living room and watch TV.
Zhang's mother quickly stopped him: "Tiantian, how about we stay in the hospital for another day? You just gave birth yesterday, and you and the baby can't stand the wind. You should wait until tomorrow to be discharged."
Gu Ranran also quickly said: "Yes, sister, if you don't think about yourself, you should also think about the children.
Stay one more night and be discharged tomorrow. I'll go back tonight to get everything ready, and we'll be discharged tomorrow morning, okay?"
"Okay then, I'll stay one more night and I can go home tomorrow. It's kind of boring being in the hospital and not being able to move around."
Just as Zhang Tiantian finished speaking, a proud voice came from the ward: "Why is the commune hospital so backward? The room is so small and the smell is so strong.
I can’t stay in a single room yet. I don’t want to give birth in the commune hospital. I want to at least go to the county hospital.
I'm from Beijing, and I'm embarrassed to tell anyone that I gave birth in this shabby commune hospital. Besides, can I sacrifice my son and me for such conditions?
"Wife, aren't we in the countryside now? We can only give birth in the commune hospital. It's too late to go to the county hospital.
When we return to Beijing and take our child back, who will know where we gave birth? Even if we say we gave birth in the county town, no one will know.
My dear wife, giving birth in the commune can save money on the bus fare to the county town. I will use the money I saved to buy you some braised pork at the state-owned restaurant, okay?
"Well, as long as we have braised pork, it's fine. From now on, we'll just say that our child was born in the county hospital. Do you understand? Don't let it slip."
"I heard you. Honey, please go to the ward first. I'll go to the state-owned restaurant and buy some braised pork for you."
Gu Ranran and Zhang Tiantian looked at each other, and Gu Ranran said, "Sister, it's not boring now, there's a show to watch. Believe me, the singer will be in soon."
Just as Gu Ranran finished speaking, a pregnant woman about 20 years old walked in, fanning her nose with her hands. She was wearing a braid and small leather shoes.
The man behind her was wearing a white shirt, black pants, leather shoes, and glasses. However, he was carrying too much luggage, and he was panting, sweating on his forehead, his glasses were crooked, and his white shirt was wrinkled.
The pregnant woman entered the ward, walked to the bedside, and asked with disgust: "Did you eat in the ward? There are all kinds of smells, it stinks.
This isn't a private room. Can you please learn to respect others? Don't just think about your own convenience and do whatever you want in the room.
The ward is so smelly, how can anyone live here? Do you really have no sense of public morality? You deserve to be called country bumpkins, country bumpkins have no manners.
Zhang Tiantian and Gu Ranran looked at each other, both speechless, and waved their hands in disbelief.
It was Zhang Tiantian who spoke up again and asked, "Comrade, is it not allowed to eat in the ward? I don't think the hospital has such a rule, right? Otherwise, how would the patients eat?"
The pregnant woman was unable to refute the question and could only bluff and reply: "That's because you don't have enough experience. In our Beijing hospital, you can't eat in the ward.
The ward can't accommodate so many people; it easily disturbs the patients' rest. If the commune hospital didn't have single rooms, I wouldn't have bothered staying in a ward with so many people.
It stinks so bad, please open all the windows to get rid of the stench, I'm almost vomiting."
Gu Ranran said with a wicked smile, "Oh, so you are from Beijing. No wonder you are dressed so nicely. Wow, you are wearing skirts and leather shoes. I have never seen anyone wear them.
It's really nice, and it's different from what we country people wear. Even if you don't say you are from the city, we can still tell you are from the city.
Since you're from the city, you shouldn't be on the same page with us country folk, right? I've heard before that city people are the most powerful. Not only do they have money and money, but they also have a sense of public morality and are incredibly generous.
Sorry, my sister just had a baby. No drafts, and the windows can't be fully opened. You're also going to have a baby, so I guess you won't be too picky about it.
In your Beijing hospital, you can't eat in the ward, so how do the patients eat? Don't the patients eat at all?"
"Humph, country people are just stupid. If you can't eat in the ward, can't you eat outside?
I never thought that country people are really so different from us city people.
Since you just had a baby, I will forgive you generously. You don't have to open all the windows, I'll just be patient. I'm a city person after all, so I can't lose face as a city person."
Gu Ranran replied sarcastically, "Comrade, thank you for your kindness. We're lucky today to be able to stay in the same ward with the city folks. This is a once-in-a-century opportunity. We can brag about it to the villagers when we get back."
The pregnant woman raised her proud head and began to order her husband around: "What are you looking at? What's so good about a bunch of mud legs? Hurry up and change the sheets.
The sheets on the hospital bed, who knows how many people have lived there? They're so dirty, I don't dare lie down on them easily. What if I catch another disease?
I'm pregnant now, with a baby in my belly. My body is fragile, so I need to take good care of it.
