Chapter 523 Prepare for a rainy day

Guangzhou.

Feng family.

Feng Yingying took her husband and two children back to her parents' home for dinner.

Feng's mother and daughter-in-law worked for an entire afternoon, preparing a large table of delicious food to entertain their daughter and son-in-law.

Seeing this, Feng Yingying couldn't help but smile and said, "Mom, sister-in-law, in the past few years, we have come back several times a month. You can just cook some home-cooked meals. Why do you need to make so many delicious dishes every time?"

Sister Feng smiled and said, "Yingying, you and your brother-in-law are the great contributors to our Feng family. How can we be casual about it? We must give you the best."

Mother Feng also said with a smile on her face: "Mom is happy to make delicious food for you."

Father Feng took out his treasured wine and asked, "Yunheng, if you have nothing to do tonight, come and have a drink with me!"

Deng Yunheng responded: "Okay, Dad."

Feng Yuanhua took the wine and said, "Dad, let me pour the wine."

Mother Feng called to the two grandchildren sitting next to her and said, "A Quan, A Mou, just tell grandma what you want to eat."

Deng Changquan, who was already four and a half years old, said, "Grandma, I want to eat the barbecued pork with honey sauce."

Mother Feng smiled and said, "Okay, grandma will bring it to you."

Deng Changmou, who was just over two years old, said in a baby voice: "Grandma, I want to eat fish."

Mother Feng said with a smile on her face: "Okay, okay, grandma will make it for you right away."

The Feng family is extremely fond of these two cute little ones. There is no doubt that the children's appearance has inherited the Feng family's genes. They look exactly like Feng Yingying when she was a child.

Mrs. Feng smiled and said, "Yingying, my parents said that these two little guys look exactly like you when you were a child. They will definitely be handsome when they grow up. I don't know how many girls will be fascinated by them in the future!"

Feng Yingying laughed and said, "How can it be so exaggerated? They both look similar to their cousins."

Sister Feng said: "Speaking of this, I really have to admit it. The children of my brother-in-law's brothers all inherited the best qualities of their parents. They are all so good-looking."

Feng Yingying nodded and said, "That's true."

Sister Feng asked, "Yingying, you already have two sons, do you want to have another daughter?"

Feng Yingying said with a look of longing: "I do want to, but I'm afraid that if I get pregnant, it will be another son, so I've been struggling with whether to have another child or not."

Mrs. Feng sighed, "You, I don't know how many people want to have a son but can't, but you are disgusted by it."

Feng Yingying drank a mouthful of soup and said, "There's nothing we can do. This is the way the world is. Those who have daughters want sons, and those who have sons want daughters. What's more, in our Deng family, except for the eldest brother who gave birth to a daughter, the rest are all sons. Now my fourth sister-in-law and I dream of having a daughter!"

Mrs. Feng said, "Then give it another try. It would be best if you win. Even if you fail, that doesn't matter. After all, the custom in Bobai is to have many children and grandchildren. If you raise a few more sons, you will have face when you return home!"

Besides, there will be a nanny to help take care of the baby after it is born, so you will just have to endure the hardship of pregnancy and confinement.”

Feng Yingying shook her head and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm not afraid of the hardship of pregnancy and confinement, but I'm mainly afraid that my figure will be out of shape if I give birth to too many children. When I gave birth to Quan, it was relatively easy to recover my figure, but when I gave birth to Mou, it felt a bit difficult to recover my figure.

If I have another child, it’s hard to say whether I can get my body back to normal, so I’m so confused.”

Mrs. Feng hesitated and said, "This is indeed something we should consider."

The aunt and the sister-in-law were talking about having children. Deng Yunheng just sat there and listened with a smile, without expressing any opinion. He had no requirements on how many children to have, and it was entirely up to his wife.

After the two sisters-in-law had finished chatting, Deng Yunheng got down to business and said, "Dad, Mom, big brother and big sister-in-law, Yingying and I should be leaving Guangzhou next month and taking the children back to our hometown in Bobai to live!"

Mother Feng was surprised when she heard this and asked, "Yunheng, why do you suddenly want to go back to your hometown to live?"

Father Feng also showed an expression of surprise. He had long been accustomed to his daughter and son-in-law living in Guangzhou, and they could see each other every now and then. If his daughter and son-in-law returned to their hometown to live, they would only see each other a few times throughout the year.

Deng Yunheng smiled and said, "It's not that sudden actually. My dad has already told me to study medicine here, and when I'm done, I can go back to work in our village hospital. Now, driven by the film and television city, our village has developed better than the county town.

Our village hospital is also preparing to apply for upgrading to become a tertiary hospital, so I really should go back.”

Father Feng nodded and said, "It's good to go back. You are just an ordinary deputy chief physician in the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University. There are many people who can supervise you, and you don't have much say here. But it will be different if you go back to your village hospital. I guess you have a say in all matters big and small in the hospital. Your status is definitely not comparable to that in the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University."

Deng Yunheng smiled and said, "That's true. Once I go back, I will have the final say in our village hospital."

Mother Feng said with emotion: "It is indeed better to go back than to stay here, but it will not be so easy to see you in the future."

Feng Yingying smiled and continued, "Mom, transportation is so convenient now, it's not easy to meet. I will come back to see you often. You can also come to our place when you are free. Now our Naye Film and Television City has been built very beautifully. There are crews shooting movies and TV series there almost all year round, and you can often see celebrities!"

Mrs. Feng said, "It has been several years since I last saw the scenery of your village. I wonder if that Ginkgo Avenue is still as beautiful as it was before?"

Feng Yingying said: "It's very beautiful. Every year, the ginkgo leaves turn golden yellow. I wonder how many people come here to travel and take pictures!"

Mrs. Feng smiled and said, "Then when the ginkgo leaves turn golden this year, we will go there to play for a few days."

Feng Yingying said: "A few days is not enough, just stay longer now that you are here."

Father Feng looked at his son-in-law and asked, "Yunheng, what is the current level of education in your village?"

Deng Yunheng said: "The education level of our town has been improving over the years. Now, in terms of teaching staff in the whole county, except for the county seat, our town is the best. I believe it will get better and better in the future."

Father Feng said, "Then you can see the situation at that time. After all, Guangzhou is the leading city in China. The education level here is definitely not comparable to that in the countryside. If necessary, let Ah Quan and Ah Mou come to Guangzhou to study."

Deng Yunheng said: "Well, it's still early now, let's wait and see what happens!"

The few of them chatted while eating, and after finishing the meal they drank tea for half an hour before Deng Yunheng and his family said goodbye and left.

…

Nanning.

Pioneer Internet Cafe in Wuyue Square.

Dongzi is playing "Legend", which is undoubtedly the most popular online game of this era. Nearly half of the netizens in the entire Pioneer Internet Cafe are playing this game. Only those who have experienced it can understand how popular this game is.

Just when Dongzi was enjoying himself, someone suddenly patted his shoulder, which frightened him so much that he shivered. When he turned around and was about to curse, he found that it was his sister standing behind him. He immediately swallowed his curse, took off his earplugs, and greeted, "Sister, when did you come back?"

"Just got back."

Xiao Dong'er responded, and then asked, "What game are you playing?"

Dongzi said: "I'm playing Legend. This game is really fun. Do you want to play it, sister?"

Xiao Dong'er shook her head and said, "Forget it. Grandpa has long said that playing online games is addictive. Once you are addicted to games, you don't want to do anything else but play games. So I'd better not touch this kind of thing. You should also play less of this. It's meaningless."

"I'm just playing around to kill time."

At this point, Dongzi couldn't wait to ask, "Sister, was it fun going hunting in Heilongjiang with Grandpa this time?"

Xiao Dong'er laughed excitedly and said, "Of course it's fun. Grandpa's archery skills are amazing. Have you heard of the blind bear? That thing is very dangerous, but Grandpa shot it and knocked down the blind bear weighing more than 300 kilograms with just two arrows. Everyone was stunned at the time.

Even the head of the hunting ground was full of praise for Grandpa, saying that Grandpa was the best archer he had ever seen."

Dongzi's blood boiled when he heard this, but it was a pity that he didn't get to see his grandfather's mighty performance with his own eyes. He said with regret, "If only I were there!"

Xiao Dong'er knew that his brother was indeed wronged because he was forgotten by the whole family for the college entrance examination, so he smiled and said, "I'll take you there next time. There are a lot of wild animals there. Then let grandpa take you to hunt bears up close."

Dongzi couldn't help but look forward to it when he heard it.

Xiao Dong'er said, "Okay, you play your game, I'll go turn on the computer and check some information."

Dongzi responded, put on his earplugs and continued playing the game.

…

Fifth floor luxury house.

Deng Shirong hung up the phone and fell into deep thought.

The phone call just now was from his youngest son, who said that he would resign from the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University next month and return to work at Naye Hospital.

This is naturally good news and is also what he strongly requested this year.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

It’s not that Deng Shirong looks down on the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University. In terms of the comprehensive strength of the hospital, even if their Naye Hospital is successfully upgraded to a Grade 3A hospital, it is still several levels behind others!

After all, the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University is located in a mega city like Guangzhou, and is backed by a key university like Sun Yat-sen University. Looking across the country, except for a few hospitals, it is the next best one. How can it be compared with Naye Hospital?

The reason why the return of the youngest son is good news is that Deng Shirong is the only one in the world who knows that Brother Dian is coming this winter!

Moreover, Brother Dian’s outbreak first occurred in Guangdong, and those who understand will understand who was the first to be affected.

In later generations, the outbreak of Covid-19 was certainly horrific, and its infectiousness far exceeded that of SARS, causing great waves around the world.

However, its toxicity is actually not as good as that of Dian Ge. Some patients infected with Guan Ge had severe symptoms, while others had mild symptoms. But all patients infected with Dian Ge had extremely serious symptoms, and the mortality rate of Dian Ge was also higher than that of Guan Ge.

Even if they are cured, many people actually have sequelae.

The most terrifying thing is that when the Dian Ge epidemic broke out, our country’s medical and health departments had no experience in dealing with such things, nor did they have any vigilance.

To use an inappropriate analogy, it is like the Japanese invaders sneaked into the village, but the villagers were not vigilant at all. Needless to say, the consequences were very serious.

The main reason why my country has done so well in fighting the new coronavirus is that we learned the profound lessons from the SARS epidemic. When we discovered that something was not right, we took the courage to lock down the city and took various prevention and control measures that were not comparable to those during the SARS epidemic.

As the saying goes, every failure makes you wiser. If we hadn't learned the profound lesson from SARS, the consequences of a future COVID-19 outbreak would have been unimaginable. Just look at the United States and other countries.

The youngest son is a doctor. If he is not allowed to return to Naye Hospital to work quickly and stay to work at the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, it will be too dangerous when SARS comes. Deng Shirong certainly does not want his youngest son to take such a big risk.

It would be fine if you are prepared, but if you take this risk without any preparation, you are really gambling with your life.

Therefore, Deng Shirong was very happy when he knew that his youngest son would be able to return to work at Naye Hospital next month. This meant that his youngest son had escaped from that extremely dangerous vortex.

There is no need to worry about the youngest son's family. Deng Shirong is thinking about his in-laws in Guangzhou and his relatives in Guangdong.

When SARS broke out in the previous life, they were hardly affected. There were also many members of the Naye Deng clan working in Guangdong. In the end, only two members of the clan were infected with the SARS virus, one of whom survived and the other did not.

In this life, due to the intervention of Deng Shirong, the number of Naye Deng family members in Guangdong is much smaller than in the previous life. However, the clansmen in the previous life only worked in Guangdong, while the clansmen in this life are engaged in passenger transport work. The dangers of the two cannot be compared at all.

What excuse could he find to transfer his relatives and clansmen out of Guangdong? Deng Shirong thought hard but could not come up with a suitable reason.

The worst thing is that in this life, their Naye Village has buses that go directly to many cities in Guangdong. In addition, Naye Film and Television City receives film and television crews from all over the country. Such a large passenger flow is completely different from the previous life.

In other words, just because Shuangwang Town in the previous life was not affected at all by the SARS outbreak does not mean that it will not be affected in this life.

What Deng Shirong has to do now is to find a way to cut off the communication between Naye Village and Guangdong before SARS comes. Naye Film and Television City also has to be closed for a period of time so that the safety of the tribesmen can be guaranteed.

But to do this, you must come up with a suitable reason.

If there is no suitable reason, we can only keep an eye on the cases in Guangdong, and wait for any movement there, and then rely on our prestige in the clan to force such a decision.

In addition to Guangdong, Beijing is also a severely affected area. His granddaughter wants to go to school in Beijing, and his grandson has always wanted to go to school in Beijing. Deng Shirong cannot sit idly by. He must make relevant arrangements at that time, and there must not be the slightest mistake.

After all, this is a life-threatening thing, and it cannot be taken too seriously.

Fortunately, although Dian Ge is terrible, it did not last long. At least compared with Guan Ge which lasted for several years in later generations, it is much better. It will disappear by next summer.

This terrifying thing came suddenly and went away suddenly.

…

At the entrance of the ancestral hall, the Deng family of Naye was convening a scholarship meeting.

Dongzi's face was beaming in the crowd. He had studied for so many years, but the clan's twice-a-year scholarship meetings had never had anything to do with him because his grades were not good enough to get a scholarship. So he was just a spectator at the clan's scholarship meetings every year.

But this year was different, Dongzi was admitted to university! Although it was only a second-tier university, it was enough for Dongzi to stand up and accept the scholarship awarded by the clan.

According to the scholarship rules of the Naye Deng family, as long as the students of the clan can be admitted to a university, no matter how bad it is, they can get a scholarship. After all, Dongzi was admitted to a second-tier university, so he was naturally eligible for a scholarship.

Dongzi walked down the stage with the scholarship in his hand, feeling very proud, and the smile on his face was brighter than ever before.

After all, he is different from his sister who receives a lot of scholarships. This is the only scholarship he has received in his school career, and the meaning of it is really different.

Seeing that cousin Dongzi's mouth was almost split to the back of his head with laughter, Zhu Shiba (Deng Yunzhen's son), who was already 16 years old, couldn't help but lean over and said, "Cousin, you have made a fortune, why don't you treat us to a barbecue tonight to celebrate?"

Dongzi waved his hand and said generously: "No problem, I'll treat you guys to a barbecue tonight."

Little Shitou (Deng Yunzhu's son), who is 11 years old, said excitedly: "Cousin Dongzi, can we go to the movies after eating barbecue?"

Dongzi chuckled and said, "Of course no problem. Whoever wants to watch a movie can sign up and I will arrange it."

Zhu Shiba said: "Cousin, what's the point of watching a movie? Let's have barbecue and then go to the nightclub!"

Xiao Dong'er reached out and grabbed his ear and twisted it: "Zhu Shiba, what did you say?"

Zhu Shiba was fearless and had never been defeated by his peers, except for his cousin. He immediately begged for mercy with an exaggerated expression, "Oh, cousin, I was wrong. Please let go! You are going to twist my ear off!"

Xiao Dong'er let him go and snorted, "Zhu Shiba, how old are you? You're already thinking about going to a nightclub. Is that the place you should go?"

Zhu Shiba smiled flatteringly and said, "Cousin, I don't go to nightclubs outside. I go to nightclubs in the village. There's no such mess."

Xiao Dong'er said seriously, "That won't work either. Nightclubs are for adults only. If you want to go, wait until you are an adult. If you dare to go to such entertainment venues before you are an adult, I will twist your ears off."

Dongzi reached out and patted his cousin on the shoulder, saying, "Shi Ba, it's not that your cousin doesn't want to take you to the nightclub, it's your cousin who doesn't allow you to. You can't blame me for this!"

Zhu Shiba said somewhat disappointedly: "After eating the barbecue, let's go play billiards!"

"no problem!"
