Chapter 3150 Public and Private
"Count it as your political achievements."
"But that is also the achievement of the Medical Bureau. Isn't this double counting? Can the Ministry of Personnel agree to it?" Bai Shan looked at Yin Huo after he finished speaking.
Yin Huo, who had already sat back in his chair and was drinking tea, saw that both of them were looking at him, so he said slowly, "I won't agree."
Zhou Man tilted his head, "Distribute according to the ratio?"
Bai Shan also thought about it. He felt that this matter was uncertain, but he still chose to support her. "How about you write a letter to test the waters first?"
If this really happens, the county government and the medical department will be more closely related in the future, and there will be fewer conflicts.
Zhou Man did what he said. He stood up and went to his desk to look for a blank document.
Bai Shan was stunned for a moment and then hurriedly said: "You just came back, you should eat first, aren't you hungry?"
Zhou Man shook his head, "It's not time for dinner yet."
Bai Shan: "Do you want to go see your elder sister? You haven't seen her for a few days."
The technology of smallpox vaccination is now very mature. Not only Zhou Man and Zheng Gu, but also Cao Yixuan and Wei Man are very skilled and have sufficient experience in dealing with various different reactions to vaccination.
Therefore, you usually stay for observation for three days after vaccination. If there is no special reaction after three days, the vaccination is considered successful and you can leave.
They didn't prepare their bodies first before getting vaccinated like they did in the capital. After getting vaccinated, they had to wait for a while for the pox to appear, and then test whether the vaccination was successful, and then keep them for observation...
The Imperial Medical Bureau has now vaccinated eligible teenagers in the capital and Yongzhou areas. In addition to a large number of experiments on vaccinating the imperial guards, they have improved the recipe for making the vaccine to make it less toxic. Now, most people do not have a big reaction to the vaccination. The pox will appear that night and disappear on the second or third day.
If there are special reactions, it will not be a serious matter as long as the doctor responds quickly.
Zhou Man felt that the observation time for vaccination could be shortened further, and even the prescriptions for special reactions could be made into medicines, so that the reaction would be faster.
Zhou Man thought about these things, and after a moment of hesitation, he said, "I write memorials very quickly..." But he also wanted to see his daughter...
Seeing her so conflicted, Bai Shan went to pick up her daughter, put her down and sat beside her, saying, "You write, I'll take her out to play, and you can go see her when you miss her."
Zhou Man couldn't continue writing, mainly because she couldn't help but look at her, touch her, and hug her when the child was here.
Zhou Man sighed and put down his pen. "Forget it, I'll write it tonight."
Bai Shan didn't expect him to be so considerate, but she couldn't continue writing. He looked at his wife, then looked down at his daughter who was holding his fingers and putting them into her mouth. After thinking for a while, he handed her to Yin Huo and said, "Why don't you take her out to play?"
Yin Huo's whole body stiffened as he held her. He had never held a child before. At most, he would tease them from a close distance. How could he hold such a small child?
He swallowed nervously and said expressionlessly, "Hurry and take it away."
Bai Shan picked up her daughter and looked at Yin Huo curiously. She was speechless for a long time and asked, "Are you afraid of the child?"
Yin Huo stood up, adjusted his robe, and said, "It's too soft and too small, and I don't like being so close to people."
Bai Shan could only sigh, "Forget it, I'll take care of her myself."
Yin Huo met Bai Jingxing's big, dark eyes and said helplessly, "She obviously prefers playing with Aunt Zheng and the others, why do you have to bring her here?"
Zhou Man stood beside Bai Shan, pinching one of his daughter's hands and playing with it, "Because we miss her."
Yin may not have such feelings, but he could understand them, so he decided to give the space to the family of three.
But in the end, he still failed to give in, because Wu Yue came over soon with her people, "Madam is looking for the young lady, saying that the young lady should be fed."
Yin Huo: "She didn't cry."
Aren’t babies fed only after they cry?
Bai Shan said hurriedly: "Our children are all fed on time. This is the time calculated by Manbao. So you see, the eldest sister doesn't like to cry at all, right?"
Yin Huo thought about it and realized it was true. "Is Dabao also not fond of crying because of this reason?"
Bai Shan and Zhou Man nodded affirmatively.
Yin Huo laughed and said, "I thought they were born not to cry."
Yin Huo had also seen quite a few children, and his sisters' children...all loved to cry.
So in his impression, children love to cry. They cry when they are hungry, sleepy, tired, or uncomfortable. They cry for no reason.
But Bai Jingxing and Bai Ruoyu are different. Both children rarely cry, so even though Yin Huo doesn't like children, he will sometimes play with them as long as he doesn't hold them.
Bai Shan looked at her daughter in her arms and felt that she looked more and more like herself. So she said happily, "It may be due to her nature. I have never been a crybaby since I was a child."
Zhou Man looked up at him and said nothing.
But Bai Erlang didn't hesitate. He sighed and came in from outside, holding Bai Ruoyu in his arms. "You're the one who cries the most among the three of us. When you were little, you'd burst into tears just by seeing cabbage worms."
Bai Shan: ...
He ground his teeth and his hands seemed a little itchy. What should he do?
Yin Huo looked at Bai Shan curiously, obviously not expecting it.
"Let's go quickly. Auntie has been calling us for a long time. She said she has gifts for the children today."
Bai Shan followed silently, holding the child in his arms, and asked, "Why are you giving me a gift when everything is fine?"
"It's time for a haircut," Bai Erlang said, "Today, my two children need a haircut. I'll give them a haircut gift after they're done."
Bai Shan and Zhou Man were confused. The three of them grew up together, so how come they didn’t know about this custom at home?
Bai Erlang didn't know either, but he had a good reason. "Children's heads are shaved before they turn one. How can they have memories before they turn one? We definitely don't remember."
He added, "Besides, the gifts we received when we were young could not reach us."
Zhou Man had a hunch that something was wrong. "It's okay if we don't remember our own shaving ceremony, but I have so many nephews, and I didn't see them have a shaving ceremony when they were young."
Bai Erlang said firmly: "That must be because your father is reluctant to let you go."
Zhou Man: ...
Bai Shan was much more straightforward and asked his mother directly after arriving at the place.
While letting the wet nurse carry the two children down to feed them, Zheng said, "It's not customary, but I gave it as a gift if I wanted to. Shaving a child's hair is a big deal. As their grandmother and great-aunt, what's wrong with giving them some gifts?"
Bai Erlang hadn't thought of this reason. It took him a while to react and he said with Bai Shan, "Nothing. As long as you're happy."
Lian Mingda couldn't help but pull Manbao aside and whispered, "Auntie really loves giving gifts. She gives gifts on days like the full moon, the double moon, and the hundredth day. She also gave Dabao a gift when he turned over for the first time, and when he first learned to play with his saliva..."
Zhou Man scratched his head and said, "As long as she is happy."
Bai Shan also thought so, and it was precisely because both he and his wife thought so that Zheng felt so confident in giving the gift.
Of course, there are only two children who have this honor, even Bai Shan and Zhou Man have to step back.
