Chapter 96: The Space Contains Anti-Cancer Needles
At 10 p.m., Gu Yiye, Lin Shanshan, Lin's parents, and Ren Guochang finally sat down in the cafeteria of the First People's Hospital of Shanghai to have dinner.
General Ren and Gu Yiye talked for a while before he couldn't stay awake any longer. After he went to sleep, Lin's father took them to the canteen for dinner and specially asked the canteen staff to prepare a large table of dishes.
Of course, as the dean, Lin Bohong gave the master extra money and also extra food coupons.
On the table were several classic dishes from Haishi: braised pork belly, sweet and sour pork ribs, stir-fried river shrimp, crab roe tofu, steamed shad, casserole of fish, roasted roe fish, braised duck, and vegetarian ham.
Lin's parents knew Gu Yiye's appetite, so in addition to all these main dishes, there were also two buckets of rice.
Gu Yiye cleaned the bones off the shad for Lin Shanshan. There were many bones, and one of Zhang Ailing's three great regrets in life was complaining about the many bones in shad.
"My first regret is that crabapple blossoms have no fragrance, my second regret is that shad has too many bones, and my third regret is that Dream of the Red Chamber is unfinished."
Shad is delicious, and Lin Shanshan loves it too; otherwise, her father wouldn't have specifically asked the chef to make this steamed shad dish.
After giving Lin Shanshan a small bowl of shad, Gu Yiye began to eat. He ate quickly, taking big bites of two pieces of braised pork and a few mouthfuls of rice. Once he had something in his stomach, he started to speak.
"Third Uncle, why haven't Second Uncle and Fourth Uncle come to see Grandpa?"
Just now in the hospital room, the old man told him that his father had three younger brothers, and together with his father, they would be "prosperous and flourishing".
He didn't see his second and fourth uncles, so he asked them.
Ren Guochang said, "Your second uncle is the vice minister of the Ministry of Agriculture. There is a drought in parts of North China and Central China. Other places are okay, but the areas where rice is grown on a large scale are severely affected. He is currently very busy in the disaster area and doesn't even have time to eat. How can he have time to come here?"
I'm afraid that General Ren wouldn't have allowed him to come, as the older generation always upholds the belief of "serving the people."
"What about Fourth Uncle?" Gu Yiye finished a large bowl of rice and then filled another large bowl.
Ren Guochang sighed and said, "He doesn't know your grandfather is sick yet. Guosheng has been staying at the research institute for half a year. Because of the need for absolute secrecy, he hasn't been in contact with us for half a year."
Gu Yiye nodded. His grandfather's entire family were all in positions that the country needed most.
I felt a sense of pride deep down; he also had a family, and such a wonderful family at that!
After everyone had eaten, Ren Guochang learned that his father's condition was relatively stable, so he rushed back to the Jinling Military Sub-district overnight.
Gu Yiye and Lin Shanshan returned to the Lin family home. Lin's older brother and sister-in-law had their own house and did not live with Lin's parents, so it was not crowded for Gu Yiye to move in.
The Lin family home has three rooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom.
Lin Shanshan's room was spacious and bright, decorated in a warm and comfortable style. There was a dressing table next to the big bed, and the round mirror was spotless, indicating that Lin's mother wiped it clean every day.
Gu Yiye and Lin Shanshan took a shower and then fell asleep in each other's arms.
Lin Shanshan had basically slept the whole way in the car. Now she was wide awake but also a little worried about Grandpa Ren, who was in the late stage of lymphoma and could die at any time. Lin Shanshan leaned on Gu Yiye's broad shoulder and whispered, "Brother Gu, I think I have something in my space that can save Grandpa."
Gu Yiye's eyes widened in disbelief as he asked, "Really? Is it a thousand-year-old ginseng?"
After Lin Shanshan seized Yang Wenqing's space, she told Gu Yiye while taking inventory of the supplies that there were many thousand-year-old ginsengs in the space.
Lin Shanshan shook her head: "No, ginseng that has been around for a thousand years is rare. It can turn the tide for people with qi and blood deficiency, but it has no effect on treating cancer."
Lin Shanshan didn't keep them in suspense and said, "There's an anti-cancer injection that should be able to cure Grandpa's illness. It's going to sell for 1.2 million yuan a vial in 2022!"
Yang Wenqing's space is truly all-encompassing, but it's understandable. With a zombie outbreak in that parallel world, having a space means he'll naturally store whatever he sees.
