Chapter 574 Healthy Development
With seventeen yuan in his hand, Fu Jingyou added some more and collected thirty yuan to take back to report.
He Hongjin stared at him stubbornly with his eyes wide open, clearly not believing him.
Fu Jingyou said: "He gave it to me. I told him he wouldn't give it to me, so I reported him to his superiors and found his work style problematic. He didn't dare not give it to me."
Fu Jingyou did say something similar to Brother He, but he would not actually report it.
Zhao Lanxiang is earning so little even with Brother He’s salary, what if she doesn’t have a job?
He Hongjin still didn't quite believe it, but Fu Jingyou insisted on it.
He Hongjin had no choice but to accept it.
Fu Jingyou looked at He Erge:
"While I was out, did any nurse come by to talk about the phone call?"
"without."
He Erge shook his head and asked:
"You have something to do in Beijing this time, right?"
"Nothing."
He was afraid that He Hongjin, who was standing next to him, would hear it and worry, and would turn around and urge him to go back, so he was even more reluctant to stay in the hospital.
Fu Jingyou didn't say anything, and said perfunctorily:
"I'm just asking if there's anyone to pick up the kids from school these two days."
He Erge was unaware of the situation and asked:
"Aren't both of your children still young? Can they go to school now?"
"No, it's another one."
Fu Jingyou took the opportunity to briefly talk about Shi'an next week.
"oh……"
He Erge nodded thoughtfully.
They already worry about raising one child, and raising another adds to the pressure...
But there is no way to explain this matter. Even if I insist, He Erge can understand it.
After all, Xiaoliu grew up eating their food.
The child is pitiful on the one hand, and he is more empathetic on the other.
He Erge said, "Raising a child is not easy. You should be frugal with your money and don't take money out anymore. Now that you have come back with a heart, we should be content."
Fu Jingyou nodded without refusing.
Just do what you have to do when the situation arises.
So as to avoid talking about this topic for a long time.
I looked at the clock and it was almost two in the afternoon.
There was no call back from Jingbei. Fu Jingyou let out a deep breath and rubbed the back of his head, wondering if his wife was still taking a nap.
He sat beside the bed, frowned, and sighed from time to time.
He Hongjin rolled his eyes, and he and He Erge were looking at him.
Fu Jingyou was unaware of it, and felt as if there were nails on his butt, fidgeting uncomfortably. Finally, he couldn't help but ran out to smoke a few cigarettes.
I just opened the pack of cigarettes yesterday afternoon, and in the blink of an eye, there were only a few left in the box.
He counted the days as if they were years, and stood outside, puffing away smoke and staring at the window next to the payment counter.
I plan to call and ask after I finish smoking this one.
Just then, the phone rang.
Fu Jingyou shuddered and took a deep breath nervously, wondering if it was him he was looking for.
He looked at the little nurse in white in the window and answered the phone, then glanced at him and waved.
Fu Jingyou quickly threw away the half-smoked cigarette butt and went over to pick up the microphone:
"Hello?"
"Hello, Brother You?"
"……Um."
Fu Jingyou wiped his face and said "hmm" briefly.
Listening to the soft and peaceful female voice on the other end of the phone, for a brief moment, he felt a little indescribable.
It was as if the heart that had been hanging in the air suddenly fell to the ground.
"Did you call home?"
"……Um."
“…”
“…”
They had just had an unpleasantness before they separated, and both of them seemed to be at a loss for words.
Fu Jingyou took the initiative first and asked in a low and nagging voice:
"Have you eaten well these past two days?"
"have……"
"What did you eat? How much did you eat?"
"My aunt bought some chicken legs at the market and marinated them with the same sauce from last time. We also made some yam and rabbit soup at home. I drank two bowls of it from my usual meal..."
"Did Dad come back and kill the rabbit?"
"Yeah, that's right."
Fu Jingyou paused for a while, then thought about telling her not to just drink the soup, but also to eat more meat and staple food.
Before he could even open his mouth, Lu Miao said on the other end of the phone:
"Brother You."
"Um?"
"I went to the hospital for an ultrasound this morning."
This was the reason why no one was at home when Fu Jingyou called.
Fu Jingyou didn't know what B-ultrasound was, but when he heard the word "hospital", his heart, which had just been relieved, began to lift again:
"Are you feeling unwell?"
"without."
At the Beijing Post Office, Lu Miao shook her head. Realizing that he couldn't see, she pursed her lips and said softly, unconvinced:
"I've always felt uncomfortable up front, and I'm worried there's something wrong with the baby... I vaguely remember seeing a sign for 'B-ultrasound Room' at the hospital over there, so I thought about going over there to get checked out."
Fu Jingyou roughly understood what was meant, frowned slightly, said "hmm", and asked:
"What did the doctor say?"
Lu Miao seemed to have opened up his chatterbox, his tone became more cheerful, and he chattered on:
"I didn't know how to read the black and white list, but the doctor pointed at it and explained to me that the baby's hands and feet were fully developed, and that it would be the eighth week soon, and his brain would also start to develop. So far, he seems to be healthy."
"They look like sprouted kidney beans to me, very, very small."
Fu Jingyou pursed his thin lips and said "hmm" in a disinterested manner.
He didn't want to discuss the issue in depth.
He was afraid that if he said something, she would get angry or unhappy. Since he was not by her side, it would be easy for something to go wrong.
"How are you feeling? Have you been feeling dizzy these past couple of days? Listen to the doctor's advice. Don't sleep all the time. Walk around the yard more often..."
"I know. How are you doing? How's your uncle? What did the doctor say?"
Fu Jingyou briefly explained the situation here. Lu Miao considered it for a moment and said:
"A stroke is considered neurological. Injections alone won't be enough. We should also combine it with acupuncture or something like that... Check on Uncle's condition today or tomorrow. If it doesn't work, bring him here for treatment."
"Don't delay it too long. Acupuncture won't work anymore. You'll need a craniotomy."
Fu Jingyou didn't understand this either, but after hearing her serious words, he couldn't help but feel a little worried:
"Okay, I'll check on you in the next couple of days... Is everything okay at home? Is the girl obedient? Is she making trouble?"
"Erbao is the most obedient, okay?"
Lu Miao asked back in a bad mood, but fearing that he would worry, he softened his tone and said:
"Everything is fine at home, the children are fine, and I'm fine too... Dad comes home every day, and my aunt is taking care of the house. Meizi also comes to help occasionally. You can just focus on your work and we can deal with other things when he comes back. Don't worry too much."
"good."
Having said that, it’s time to hang up the phone.
Fu Jingyou didn't hang up the phone for a long time. He glanced at the nurse in the window and asked again:
"Are you still angry?"
"I'm not angry anymore~!"
Fu Jingyou felt more at ease.
Lu Miao said, "Hang up. We'll talk when you get back. Long-distance calls are expensive."
Fu Jingyou hummed, but didn't hang up. After hesitating for a while, he said in his broken English:
“I wish you were here.”
He was expressing his longing in a subtle way.
Lu Miao knew.
With a gentle smile on his lips, Lu Miao stroked his flat belly and said softly:
"I know...see you soon."
"Yeah, hung up."
"Hmm~"
