"You know quite a lot of details, and you got along so well with the educated youth?"
"That's right, I was a sent-down youth too!"
In the ward, Li Yan was still unconscious, and Chen Jianguo kept a close watch on her.
The newborn baby was placed on the hospital bed next to me. He was probably full and sleeping soundly, with his little lips occasionally moving.
It's small, but still quite cute.
Several educated youths who had never become parents gathered around the bed to watch the commotion.
Liu Jianshe had already taken his wife and sister-in-law back home. The rest of them, except for Liu Jiefang, were all educated youth. They spoke softly around the child.
"Heh, you educated youth are quite united, aren't you?"
Tang Sumei checked Li Yan again, then went back to the office with Lao Yang.
After a quick look around, I saw Liu Jiefang, Tan Yajun, Ling Weidong, Yuan Ye, Mingzhu, and Chen Jianguo. They came out quite early, but after all this commotion, it's getting late.
After thinking about it, I turned around and went out.
Grandpa Liu was still waiting outside, so she simply went to the state-run restaurant to pack some food and brought it back. She left some for the old man, gave some to Tang Sumei and Lao Yang, and took the rest of the oil paper packages back to the ward.
"Eat something first. Uncle Liu is still outside. In a little while, you guys will go back with the oxcart."
It was addressed to Ling Weidong and the others. At this moment, Chen Jianguo finally came to his senses.
"You all go back. I'll stay here and watch over her tonight."
"you,"
If it were just Li Yan alone, it wouldn't be a problem, but with all three girls focused on the child, it was clear that it would be difficult for Chen Jianguo to take care of the child.
The group exchanged glances.
"Why don't we stay here? Sister Yan can't move and has to take care of the child. If something happens, you won't be able to manage on your own."
Among the group, Mingzhu was the only one with experience. After thinking for a moment, she asked a rather practical question.
"Did the doctor say I can be discharged in a few days?"
Ling Weidong glanced at Chen Jianguo, then at Jian Dan.
"I just asked that female doctor, and she said that hospitalization is to prevent any emergencies. In Li Yan's case, it would be best to stay for three days. If she recovers normally, she can be discharged and go home to recuperate."
Three days?
Chen Jianguo really can't manage on his own. If he has to take care of the older one, he can't take care of the younger one. Even if he has to do some washing or cleaning or buy food, there's no one to take over. Li Yan, who is seriously ill, can't take care of this little one.
Clearly, all of them had thought of this.
Chen Jianguo belatedly realized this as well, and looked at Li Yan with some difficulty, then at the child. The two of them were his only relatives, and neither of them could be harmed.
Turning her head, she saw the carefree child still asleep on the bed. The girls exchanged glances, and Tan Yajun spoke up.
"If you're comfortable with that, we'll take the baby back with us. We'll take care of her for the next few days, and then we'll send her back to you after Yan'er is discharged from the hospital, how about that?"
Mingzhu was taken aback. She thought they meant to take turns taking care of her. However, this explanation seemed more reasonable. After all, apart from Li Yan, who was the patient, they were still a man and a woman alone together, which was inconvenient.
If you take her back, she's raised children before, so three days shouldn't be a problem. Even if she doesn't have milk, wouldn't it be easy to get formula?
However, this is a newborn child, and there are risks at any time. Tanya Jun's willingness to say such a thing shows that she is truly one of their own. Otherwise, would most people be willing to take on this responsibility? Everything is going smoothly, but this little child is so fragile. If something were to happen to him, it wouldn't be a favor, but rather an enmity.
Mingzhu admires Tan Yajun for this.
However, considering the situation of Tan Yajun and her husband, it's not even as good as Li Yan's. Their relatives have become enemies. They are truly in the same boat.
He glanced at Liu Jiefang, who didn't seem to object; instead, he looked expectant.
He also chimed in.
"Yes, if you don't mind, you can leave these few days to us. There are so many of us, we can't just stand by and watch."
"Don't worry, if she can stay a few more days, let her rest more. After all, there's a doctor here, so we feel at ease."
As for Jian Dan, she is very clear about her own position. She is someone who contributes effort and materials, but she is not cut out for taking care of things personally.
She didn't dare.
Chen Jianguo's eyes reddened again.
"If I don't trust you, who else can I trust? Even my own parents haven't done as much as you have."
She wiped her face, then went over and picked up the swaddled baby, carefully placing it in the hands of the nearest person, Tan Yajun.
"We are so grateful that we cannot express our thanks. This child is blessed, and we are blessed to have met you."
"Over here,"
He glanced back at Li Yan, who was still unconscious and breathing weakly on the bed, and gritted his teeth.
"I'm entrusting this child to you."
He took two steps back and bent down straight.
"Huh?"
Tan Yajun was holding the child without any hands and kept calling out anxiously.
Ling Weidong, who was standing next to him, reached out and lifted him up.
“We were sent-down youths together, and we’ve known each other for so long. Why are you still being so distant?”
Don't worry, with so many people here, surely we can take care of one child properly.
“Yes, Brother Chen, we may not know how to take care of children, but we can do something else. We are all brothers and sisters, so you can rest assured to take care of Sister Yan here.”
Tears streamed down Chen Jianguo's face as the bitterness and helplessness of being ignored and disliked by his family welled up in his eyes under this extreme contrast.
Several people consulted Tang Sumei in detail, wrapped the child up tightly, and then went outside.
As they approached the door, Yuan Ye suddenly asked a question.
