Chapter 1800 After the Surgery
Lin Xianghui and his wife had anticipated this, and they were quite open-minded about it; as long as he got married, everything would be fine.
Lin Guangyuan's career was entirely within the military, and his social network was also based there, so it was quite normal for him to hold his wedding there.
Anyway, I'll go back home for the Lunar New Year and hold another one there, just like Lin Guangming did, which is fine.
It's because their family is full of older single men and women; they should be grateful if they can even get married.
At times like these, Lin Dongxue naturally played the role of someone invisible, standing silently in the corner. When it was time to take her seat, she quietly followed suit, making it wise to minimize her presence.
However, she overlooked the fact that there was also Lin Guangyuan.
"Dongxue, let me introduce you to someone. A comrade of mine was injured this time and had to transfer to civilian work. Of course, he's in good health. He's transferring to the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau, and he's originally from Shanghai."
Before Lin Dongxue could say anything, Lin Xiangyang and his wife's eyes lit up.
"Really? That's great! Dongxue's not getting any younger. We were planning to go to Shanghai to be with your aunt for her surgery after A-Ming's engagement, so Dongxue can come along too..."
"My aunt is having surgery? What happened to my aunt?" Lin Guangyuan looked at Lin Xiuqing with concern and anxiety.
Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "It's nothing serious. It's just that my intestines aren't feeling well, so I need to have a minor surgery. I can go home in three to five days after the surgery. It's alright."
Ye Yaodong explained it to him, and Lin Guangyuan finally believed that it was just a minor surgery.
"You'll need to be extra careful after the surgery and take good care of yourself. I can't go out, so I'll just have to make phone calls."
"It's alright, it's nothing serious, there's no need to make such a fuss. Taking such a large family to the hospital will scare people to death."
When Lin Xiangyang saw that the woman's relatives had arrived, he quickly went over to greet them, and the others also quickly took their seats.
Although today is the engagement banquet, the conversation at the dinner table is all about Lin Xiuqing's surgery and Lin Dongxue's blind date in Shanghai.
Lin Dongxue told everyone that she could only go to Shanghai with them the next day. She had originally planned to arrange her work first and then visit Lin Xiuqing after her surgery, but now she had to make a last-minute arrangement.
Lin Xiuqing's surgery was scheduled very quickly, so the day after their engagement, a large group of people rushed to Shanghai.
Fortunately, Ye Yaodong has enough houses to live in, and they are all spacious. He arranged for his family to live in the house in the JA district, which will make it more convenient for them to travel and have fun.
It wasn't a major surgery, but her family happened to be there, and they had all finished taking care of important matters. Now they were all going to the hospital with her, making a big fuss and looking rather awkward.
The large group attracted a lot of attention wherever they went. Even the doctors were amazed. They kept adjusting their glasses on their noses. It was the first time they had ever seen someone with about twenty family members accompanying them for a minor surgery.
But he didn't say much, only instructing them not to make noise.
After the surgery, some of the other patients in the ward suffered because this large group of people filled the entire room as soon as they entered.
However, no one dared to stay long, as Ye Yaodong was also afraid of affecting others.
He left his mother to look after Lin Xiuqing while he took everyone out to eat. He had been keeping them company all morning, and after the surgery, they didn't need to stay here anymore; they could go out and have fun if they wanted.
He felt much more at ease after the surgery. Now he just had to wait for the report results. As long as the removed tissue was free of lesions, he wouldn't have to worry about anything.
As for his father-in-law's medical check-up, it was scheduled for the next day. He didn't need to run around doing anything; Lin Guangming, Lin Guangwen, and their other filial sons and grandsons would take care of everything.
Ye Chenghu, Ye Chengyang, and Ye Xiaoxi, the three siblings, also came to the hospital after school at noon. They were brought by Ye Huimei.
It's not easy for Ye Huimei to take care of six children by herself. Fortunately, Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang are both grown up and can help take care of the children, so it's not too difficult for her to bring so many over by herself.
As soon as I entered the ward, people started calling out "Mom!" and "Auntie!" one after another.
Fortunately, it's lunchtime now, and everyone is eating, so there's no need to rest. But it can't be too noisy either.
Lin Xiuqing said softly, "Keep your voices down, you'll disturb others. Let's keep it down."
Everyone gathered around the bed, speaking in hushed tones, but still chattering away.
"Mother, how are you? Are you in pain?"
"Mom, have you finished your surgery? Are you all better now?"
"Does it hurt? Now that you're done, when can you go home?"
"Auntie, let me blow on it and it will feel better..."
"Auntie, let me rub it and it won't hurt anymore..."
Lin Xiuqing smiled as she looked at the children who were gathered around her bed, watching her with concern.
"I'm fine, I'm all better. The doctor checked me again and everything was fine. I can go home in a couple of days. You all have to be good at home."
"We'll definitely be good..."
Ye Huimei said with a smile, "They are usually very naughty, but they are exceptionally well-behaved today. As soon as they came back, they said they had already finished their homework at school and ate their meals very quickly, just hoping to come and see you as soon as possible."
"Then why are you carrying a schoolbag?"
"They said they would stay here until they started school."
Ye Xiaoxi rubbed her face against her arm. "We want to stay here with you. What if you're too lonely? Nobody's here with you anymore. Where's my dad?"
“Your dad took your grandpa and the others out to eat. How could I be lonely? Your grandpa and the others, a dozen or so people, just left, and you guys came over again.”
"Then I'll stay here with you."
"You're making too much noise here. Once you've seen it, that's enough. Go home."
"No." They all shook their heads in unison.
"Then you can't make any noise here, you can't make a fuss. Mother needs to rest, and so do others."
"We know, we'll be good."
Ye Chenghu also said, "I will keep an eye on the twins and make sure they don't make any noise."
The twins said timidly, "We'll just do our homework quietly here."
Ye Huimei said, "Let them stay here. They won't be here long before they have to go to school. Staying here will put their minds at ease, since they can see you."
Lin Xiuqing nodded.
A few students, unusually well-behaved and self-disciplined, took out their books and squatted by the wall to read, or lay on the hospital bed to preview the material.
I've never been so obedient and well-behaved before.
Children are indeed perceptive; they know when it's okay to make a fuss and when it's time to behave and be sensible.
Ye Yaodong took everyone out to eat. After the meal, he told them that those who wanted to go back to rest could go back to rest, and those who wanted to go out could go out and have fun. He said there was no need to go to the hospital anymore, and there was no need to stay with them all day. Too many people would also affect their rest.
Everyone listened to the advice.
When he returned to the hospital, it was just him and his father. He also packed a meal for his mother.
Lin Xiuqing has just undergone intestinal surgery and cannot eat.
He looked at all the children, big and small, holding books and found it strange, as if the sun had risen in the west.
Normally, I have to urge them again and again to do their homework, but this is the first time I've ever seen so many of them so quiet and orderly reading their books.
"Tsk tsk tsk... If you guys were like this every day, how would you not get into Tsinghua or Peking University?"
Ye Huimei glared at him, "Third Brother, can you please stop being a rotten apple? They're rarely this serious, and you have to jump in and say something that distracts them."
"Isn't this something unusual?"
"Father, when can Mother come home?" Ye Chenghu asked.
"After the report comes out, we'll do a second check. If there are no problems, I estimate I can be back in two or three days."
“Then we’ll come over in a couple of days, this weekend, to pick Mom up and take her home.”
"Okay, go read your books, and do whatever you need to do."
Ye Huimei asked curiously, "Your in-laws have already finished their wedding banquet, and your sister-in-law has finished her surgery. When are they planning to go back? Oh, I'm not trying to get rid of them, I'm just asking out of curiosity."
"Let's wait until your sister-in-law is discharged from the hospital. They won't feel at ease leaving until she is discharged."
"That is."
"Once I'm discharged from the hospital, I can just go back with the factory's cargo ship. It'll be convenient, and a few more days won't make a difference."
Lin Xiuqing said, "I'm afraid of delaying their business. My second brother and the others have been here for almost a month."
"What delay? They came up here mainly because of their son's engagement. You've only stayed a few days longer. Even if you ask them to go back, they won't. They definitely won't leave until you're discharged."
After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, he looked at the others and said, "You all go back, and Dad should go back too. I'll stay here. There's nothing for so many people to do here. Take these few back with you too; it's about time they went to school."
"Okay, then we'll go back first, and have your mother come over tonight to relieve you."
"Okay, we'll discuss taking turns then."
Fortunately, his mother is there, and they take turns staying at the hospital to keep him company, which makes things a little easier.
Over the next few days, their ward was always full of people, but thankfully it was only two or three at a time, not a large group, and they only stayed for a short while.
But the Shanghai auntie next door kept telling them to keep their voices down, rolling her eyes all day long and muttering things they couldn't understand.
Hospital beds are in short supply, and they don't have any to change beds. It's also true that there are many of them, and they come every day.
The nurses made several trips to tell them not to have so many people every day, and they all listened to the advice and took turns coming.
Fortunately, it wasn't in the countryside. Otherwise, if I were hospitalized even slightly, all my relatives would bring eggs and fruit to visit me, and it would be anything but quiet from morning till night.
Lin Xiuqing stayed in the hospital for three days. The two Shanghai aunties in the next beds complained from morning till night, grumbling and glancing at them with their eyes.
Mother Ye couldn't stand the other party's sarcastic tone and their disdainful look towards them as country folk, so she naturally sat down next to them and launched into a tirade of insults in the local dialect.
"Don't think I can't tell they're talking about beggars in our countryside. The old ladies here are really mean, but the old men are quite nice, they keep trying to comfort them."
"How's your eldest niece's boyfriend going? If she had a mother-in-law like that, she'd be furious."
Lin Xiuqing advised, "Not necessarily. There are good ones too. The local elderly ladies I met were very nice and polite. Aren't all our neighbors in the neighborhood quite nice?"
There are good people and bad people everywhere, and there are also people who look down on others. It's normal.
"Mom, don't blame them. It's just that our family members keep coming and going in the ward from morning till night, which does affect others. It's normal for them to be unhappy."
“If this happened in our hometown, they would probably have made a huge fuss with us long ago. They are still trying to save face, just grumbling and not doing anything too ugly.”
Ye's mother didn't take it to heart. "We're just being considerate. If a relative is hospitalized, wouldn't we bring some eggs and fruit to visit them? Unlike them, who are all so cold and quiet, hardly anyone comes. Being hospitalized makes them feel so disheartened."
"Alright, I'll be discharged tomorrow morning. Just bear with it for another half day, and I'll be comfortable at home soon."
Lin Xiuqing's condition was discovered early, before it worsened or showed any signs of lesions. The report came out the day after the surgery, which put everyone at ease.
After the final check-up and the discharge slip, they can complete the discharge procedures and go home.
Everyone was overjoyed. On the day of discharge, there were still twenty or thirty people, more than on the day of admission. There were six more children. A large group of people came to pick them up, which was quite eye-catching.
Surrounded by a large group of people, Lin Xiuqing felt a warmth in her heart, knowing that her illness had also touched many hearts. She also felt that it was nice to be cared for and visited by so many people while she was sick, and to be remembered by others.
The initial fear and post-operative discomfort were all healed by the warmth of my family.
She smiled as she looked at the large group of people. "What kind of transportation did all of you take? Why did you all come all the way here? You could have just stayed home. It's quite tiring to travel back and forth like this."
“They all have to come, especially your three kids. What could I do? So we just came together. We took the bus, so it was like we chartered a whole bus.”
"That's pretty cheap, just a few dozen yuan to charter a bus."
"You can still laugh and joke, which means you're recovering well. Everyone can rest assured now, and we can arrange for your father and the others to go back tomorrow."
As Ye Yaodong spoke, he had already put her luggage from the past few days into the trunk of the car, and she was helped into the car.
She read it aloud, "Leaving tomorrow? It's good to go back early."
Several children accompanied her. Ye's father drove the car, while Ye Yaodong took the others to take the bus as usual.
Having so many people is a headache for him too; arranging everything is quite a hassle. Fortunately, he can arrange to send them all back tomorrow.
Lin's father watched her undergo surgery and be discharged from the hospital. The doctor said she was recovering well, and he could go home tomorrow with peace of mind and give Lin's mother an explanation.
P.S.: I'll update again tomorrow, I'll update a little more.
