"Dad? Come here quickly and put all this garbage into bags and carry it away. You have no sense at all." Lin Yi happened to see a shoe that Zhou Mingming kicked off when he entered the door, and he was annoyed.
"How could you tear down all my posters? I collected them with great difficulty. The one with Jeff Chang even has his autograph." Zhou Mingming said as he squatted on the ground and shuffled through the pile of 'waste paper'.
"Stop rummaging around. How are we going to get new equipment if we don't make room? Don't you like staying in the pool hall? How about we go buy a used pool table in a few days? Then we can clean up your room and put the pool table in your room. I think we can also throw away your bed to make room for the pool table."
Zhou Mingming was a little tempted, but: "Then where will I sleep tonight?"
"Where to sleep? If you don't need the bed, don't you still have the mattress? Then you can just sleep on the floor like the Japanese and Koreans. It's much easier. You're a grown man now, are you afraid of being cold?"
Zhou Mingming hesitated: "Okay... okay."
If it gets really cold, he can just sleep on the pool table.
Lin Yi was satisfied. He instructed Zhou Mingming to put the garbage into a big bag and put it outside the door first, and then deal with it together after it was cleaned up.
The three of them only ate until they were 60% full for dinner, and shared one-third of the large cake. Zhou Mingming ate most of it. Lin Yi and Ms. Qiao Chunfeng, one did not like sweets, and the other needed to control her blood sugar.
After eating, Grandma Qiao went to wash the dishes. Lin Yi instructed his son to throw away the garbage, while he went to find Ling Shuang with the remaining cake.
Zhu Cuifang, who was possessed by Ling Shuang, also worked in the hospital next door. She was the head nurse of the obstetrics and gynecology department.
Today is her late night shift, from 5pm to 4am tomorrow. If there is no woman about to give birth, this late night shift is not that hard, it's just a matter of passing the time.
When Lin Yi arrived, there was only a plump nurse on duty at the nurses' desk. Lin Yi asked her, "Hu Yan'er, where's your sister Zhu? Is there any work in the delivery room?"
Hu Yan was sorting through her work log when she looked up at the voice and said, "Oh, my brother-in-law is here! Sister Hu is out making her rounds. Please sit here and wait for a moment."
Lin Yi placed the cake box on the table inside the service counter. "The kids wanted to eat cake today, so I bought a big one. If you can't finish it, it won't be fresh tomorrow, so I'll give it to you as a snack."
Hu Yan was delighted: "Thank you very much, Mingming. We are all benefiting from him."
As the two were talking, a young nurse hurried out from a ward further down the hallway and asked Hu Yan anxiously, "Yan'er, have you seen the woman in bed 29 and her family?"
Hu Yan was stunned. "An hour ago, I seemed to see the family of bed 29 walking in the corridor with the woman in labor. What happened?"
"What happened? He ran away!" The young nurse was so anxious that she was about to cry.
When Hu Yan heard her say that, she quickly walked out of the service desk and ran straight to the nursery. She quickly ran back and comforted the nurse with a relaxed expression: "Don't worry, she didn't run away. I just checked. Her little girl is still in the incubator. If she ran away, would she leave the child behind? Don't worry, she must have gone out for a walk to eat."
The young nurse was not optimistic. "I think it's hopeless. Bed 29 will be discharged tomorrow. She still owes over 8,000 yuan for surgery and hospitalization. Yesterday, I heard the mother-in-law scold her daughter-in-law with a look of disgust for giving birth to a girl, saying she was a waste of money and that she would cut off her family's roots. She even said that she didn't want this granddaughter. Who knows, she might just run away."
Hu Yan also fell silent. The country has implemented family planning for nearly 20 years, but they work in the obstetrics department of the hospital and are "fortunate" to have seen many strange cases of favoring boys over girls. Cases like the one in bed 29 today were not uncommon or rare in that year.
The young nurse said with a sad face, "Call the police." Then she went around to the service desk to make a phone call.
Hu Yan ran to the ward and office to inform the head nurse and the attending physician of bed 29.
Seeing that the situation here was in chaos for a while, Lin Yi estimated that Ling Shuang was too busy to take care of him for the time being. Besides, he didn't have anything important to do and couldn't help much, so he quietly left.
Early the next morning, Lin Yi had to send Qiao Chunfeng to catch the 8 o'clock early flight. When they left, Zhou Mingming was still asleep and Ling Shuang had not come back yet. It seemed that the obstetrics and gynecology department must be very busy that night.
After hailing a taxi, Qiao Chunfeng watched her son put the suitcase into the trunk, then said to him, "Okay, go back. I'm not old enough for that yet. I can go by myself. There's no point in sending him back and forth."
Lin Yi was still a little worried, "At least I can take you to the airport and help you with your luggage."
Qiao Chunfeng sat in the passenger seat and said through the car door: "The driver can help me move it. The suitcase has wheels. Don't worry about it. Let's go back."
Seeing that his mother was so stubborn and opinionated, Lin Yi had to give up. "Okay, when you get there, call home. If you need anything, contact the police and the ground staff."
The old lady waved her hand, signaled the driver to drive, and set off in a leisurely manner.
Lin Yi stood there and watched for a while, until he could no longer see the exhaust fumes from the taxi. Then he looked at his watch. It was five fifty.
He went upstairs to make breakfast. While cooking porridge, he did not forget to wake up his son. Zhou Mingming's door was ajar. Because this kid had been making trouble for many years, the original body had expressly forbidden him to lock the door. Lin Yi walked to his window easily.
To wake up your family members, you don’t actually need to shout that person’s name or shake him. It can be done easily in three steps: draw the curtains, lift the quilt, and make some noise.
Sure enough, Zhou Ming was irritated by the sudden brightness. Just as he was about to change to a prone position, he felt a chill on his body. The quilt was gone. He still didn't want to move or open his eyes. Lin Yi quickly came in with a broom, a mop, and a radio.
Zhou Mingming sat up in a rage, his temper flaring up. He yelled at Lin Yigui, "Are you annoying me? Are you going to let me sleep?"
Lin Yi: "Stop talking nonsense and get up quickly. We have a lot of things to do today!"
Zhou Mingming spread his fingers irritably and scratched his messy hair as if to vent his anger: "Did you forget that I don't have to go to school? Please, don't bother me, I don't have to get up early anymore." With a bang, he lay down straight.
But he forgot that his makeshift pillow last night was a pile of hardcover dictionaries. When he lay down like that, his head was in trouble and he had to wake up this time even if he didn't want to.
Just at this moment, there was a noise at the front door of the house.
Lin Yi: "Hurry up and get up, your mother is back, wash your face, brush your teeth and get ready for dinner."
Zhou Mingming touched the back of his head, then his stomach. Hmm, okay, he was indeed hungry. Then he compromised in a muffled voice and said, "I understand."
When he came out of the room, he saw his father standing next to his mother in the living room. His mother was holding a baby in her arms, and both of them had gentle expressions on their faces.
Even the fearless troublemaker Zhou Mingming couldn't be fooled. He stretched out his right hand tremblingly, pointed at the baby and said:
"You two, when did you give birth to a child without telling me?"
