Chapter 292: Too Much Is Too Little
Yu Zhiming and Gu Qingning first sent Zeng Yan back to the medical school, and then returned to their residence in Zijinyuan. It was already past ten o'clock in the evening.
As soon as he entered the house, Yu Zhiming keenly noticed that the atmosphere in the living room was a bit solemn.
The third sister was sitting on the sofa in the living room making dumplings, and Xiaoxue was helping her roll out the dumpling wrappers.
The fourth sister was sitting on the flip bed reading a book.
Yu Zhiming noticed that his third and fourth sisters both had stern and sour faces.
Xiaoxue looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Xiaoxue, did your third aunt and fourth aunt have a fight?"
Facing Yu Zhiming's question, Fu Xiaoxue ignored Yu Xinyue's warning look and said, "After Uncle Zhang Bai left, Third Aunt started talking about Fourth Aunt."
"After a few words, Fourth Aunt got angry."
Yu Zhiming said "oh" and came to the flip bed and sat next to the fourth sister. He checked the wound on her hand and tried to persuade her.
"Fourth sister, you grew up under the scolding of your three older sisters, how come your immunity is so low now?"
"Are you angry just by saying that?"
Yu Zhiming put medical tape on his fourth sister's hand, looked up at her, and was shocked.
I saw that Fourth Sister's eyes were filled with tears, rolling out one after another as if they were free.
"Fourth sister, fourth sister, what's wrong with you? Did I say something wrong?" Yu Xiangwan's strange behavior made Yu Zhiming a little panicked.
Yu Xiangwan bit her lip and cried, "Old Fifth, you're right. From childhood to adulthood, I've always been the one who gets scolded and the least liked one in the family."
"Sometimes, I think I'm not the Yu family's child at all. In fact, my parents picked me up from the garbage dump."
Having said that, Yu Xiangwan suddenly leaned on Yu Zhiming's shoulder and started crying.
Yu Zhiming put his arm around his fourth sister and patted her back gently.
After Yu Xiangwan cried and vented for a while, she sobbed and complained, "Now, I finally have a chance to prove that I'm not a complete failure."
She sat up straight, tears welling in her eyes as she said, "Lao Wu, I'm really working hard on that short-term rental apartment."
Yu Zhiming nodded attentively and said, "Of course I know you work very hard. You get up early and come back late every day."
“How hard can it be?”
Yu Xinyue interrupted and said sarcastically, "Are there migrant workers who work hard for more than ten hours a day?"
"It's just looking at houses to rent. It's neither physically demanding nor technically demanding."
"With Lao Wu's money and connections, even an elementary school student can do this job well."
Yu Xiangwan was so angry at this that she screamed, "Old Five, Old Five, did you see that?"
"My hard work and dedication are worthless in the eyes of my third sister. I'm almost pissed off."
"Old Five, I've never been so angry before, woo woo..."
Yu Zhiming quickly put his fourth sister on his shoulders again and turned to look at his third sister.
"Third sister, please say less."
"In today's society, as long as it involves making money, nothing can be done easily."
"Fourth sister has really put in a lot of effort in every aspect for this short-term rental apartment."
Yu Xinyue snorted, "At that time, she even boasted that she would never delay taking care of you, Lao Wu."
"I leave early and come back late every day. How can I take care of you?"
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "Third sister, I'm not a child anymore, and I'm very familiar with Binhai. There's no need for me to follow you around and take care of you."
At this time, Gu Qingning, who had washed up, sat on the sofa next to Xiaoxue and started making dumplings.
She did not forget to express, "Third sister, I'm here with Zhiming. You don't have to worry about him lacking care."
Yu Xinyue smiled at Gu Qingning and asked, "Did the banquet go well today?"
"How much did it cost in total?"
Speaking of tonight's banquet, Yu Xiangwan also became excited.
She sat up straight again, pulled out a tissue and wiped her eyes roughly, and asked, "Is the food delicious?"
Gu Qingning replied softly, "Zeng Yan took the initiative to pay for tonight's banquet. The total cost is 23,000."
“The food tastes very good and all the guests praise it.”
Yu Xinyue said with a sigh, "More than 20,000 yuan for a table. If the food doesn't taste good, it's unjust!"
Yu Zhiming added, "Twenty-three thousand is just for the food. If you include the four bottles of wine Qing Ning took, this whole table would cost at least sixty or seventy thousand."
After a pause, he smiled and said, "We have already booked a private room for next Friday night. We will take you there to taste it then."
Yu Xiangwan hesitated and said, "Old Fifth, forget it. There's no need to be so extravagant when eating for a family."
"We spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars on ingredients and let Zhang Bai cook it, and we can still prepare a large and sumptuous feast."
Yu Xinyue also advised, "Old Five, cancel the private room. It's really unnecessary for your family to spend 20,000 or 30,000 yuan on a table of food. There are so many things you can't do with that money."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "Third sister, fourth sister, we naturally wouldn't spend so much money on a family meal."
"We've only booked an ordinary private room at the restaurant this time. We can order a few of their signature dishes and some home-cooked dishes. It won't cost much."
After hearing what he said, Yu Xinyue and Yu Xiangwan stopped trying to persuade him.
The next moment, Yu Xinyue asked again, "Zeng Yan has successfully transferred to the School of Medicine of Jiaotong University."
"Next, Lao Wu, do you still need to worry about it?"
Yu Zhiming shook his head and said, "Zeng Yan will face heavy study next."
"She basically relies on herself for this matter."
"She will spend the next few months, or to be exact, the next seven or eight years studying day and night."
Yu Xinyue let out a long "oh".
Fu Xiaoxue asked sympathetically, "Uncle, can't Zeng Yan rest on the weekends?"
Yu Zhiming smiled and said, "You can relax a little and take care of your housework and daily chores."
"But it's unlikely that you can go out and have fun without restraint. The academic pressure on medical students is arguably the heaviest among all university students."
Fu Xiaoxue secretly felt sorry for Zeng Yan for a moment, then asked, "Uncle, did you also get through this back then?"
Yu Zhiming hummed and said, "That's about right!"
He took the opportunity to teach her, "Xiaoxue, universities are relatively relaxed in their management and encourage students to be proactive in their studies."
"Some people relax after entering university, just getting by and living life to the fullest, happy with a score of 60. Others have a clear life plan and use the advantages of university to strive to enrich themselves."
"When these two situations accumulate over time and by the time you graduate from college, there will definitely be a world of difference between the two."
Fu Xiaoxue pouted and said, "Uncle, please don't mention me. I know how to work hard."
"I'm your real niece, I won't let Zeng Yan steal the limelight."
Yu Zhiming chuckled.
Fu Xiaoxue continued, "Uncle, Ye Zhiwei's birthday party is tomorrow. According to their family's arrangements, the afternoon will mainly be for people of our age to eat, drink and have fun."
"Tonight, there will be a cocktail party for you big shots."
Yu Zhiming said casually, "I have a busy day of work tomorrow. If I'm too tired at night, or if another patient shows up unexpectedly, I might not go."
"Xiaoxue, explain to them clearly that I may not be able to make it."
Fu Xiaoxue nodded in agreement.
Suddenly, Fu Xiaoxue yelled in surprise: "Oh, I forgot one thing."
"Uncle, uncle, my other roommate, Wei Feiyu, had a fever a few days ago and couldn't rest well at night. She said she kept having very confusing and messy dreams, which made her very uncomfortable."
"She said it's always been like this. Whenever she has a fever, she'll have strange and uncomfortable dreams at night, which affect her rest."
"Uncle, what's going on? Is there any way to let her sleep peacefully and rest?"
Yu Zhiming summoned the relevant knowledge in his mind, pondered for a moment, and said, "After a high fever, it is easy to have chaotic and disordered dreams. Currently, there is really no unified explanation in the medical community."
"I am more inclined to agree with one explanation..."
Yu Zhiming said slowly: "The dreams caused by fever are chaotic. It may be because the fever affects the brain nerves and causes abnormal discharges."
"Fever is mainly caused by an increase in the body's temperature set point or the production of a large amount of pyrogenic substances."
"A rise in body temperature exposes the brain tissue to a higher temperature environment, which can affect the brain nerves and cause abnormal discharges, leading to disordered dreams."
"Also, if the fever is caused by a respiratory infection, it can cause breathing abnormalities. Or if you don't open windows for ventilation when you have a fever, the carbon dioxide concentration in the room will be too high, resulting in insufficient oxygen supply to the brain during sleep, causing abnormal discharges in the brain nerves and leading to chaotic dreams."
Fu Xiaoxue took note of these words, and then listened to Yu Zhiming continue: "As for the method to eliminate dreaming, it can only be to target the root cause and reduce the temperature."
"There are many fever-reducing medicines on the market now. If that doesn't work, drinking more hot water will also help."
Yu Zhiming also reminded: "This kind of dream with a fever and confusion is usually more likely to occur when the fever is above 39 degrees Celsius."
"You need to take medicine to reduce the fever."
Fu Xiaoxue chuckled and said, "My classmate Wei Feiyu always avoids taking medicine if she can."
"She said that this way of resisting the fever can strengthen the body's resistance. She also said that a moderate fever can eliminate toxins from the body and is beneficial rather than harmful."
Yu Zhiming disagreed, "A low-grade fever below 39 degrees Celsius can be overcome with your physical fitness."
"But once the fever reaches a high level, it's best to take medicine to reduce the temperature, so as not to overdo it and cause damage to the body."
Fu Xiaoxue nodded and said, "Uncle, I will tell Wei Feiyu about your words."
Yu Zhiming remembered something and asked his third sister, "Third sister, second sister's father-in-law said he wanted to flush his blood vessels?"
Yu Xinyue sighed softly, "Your second brother-in-law couldn't be persuaded in the end, and he's been in the hospital for two days to have his veins flushed..."
After changing the subject for a while, Yu Xiangwan's mood stabilized.
The relationship with Yu Xinyue has also eased.
After all, Yu Xiangwan has been through a lot, so this is not a big deal for her.
It was just that when my efforts and career, which were most important to me, were questioned, I overreacted for a moment.
Seeing a smile on his fourth sister's face, Yu Zhiming got up to wash up, changed the medicine on her wound, and then went back to the bedroom to rest.
Tomorrow is another busy day...
