Chapter 1798 Inspection
Ye's mother was more like a social terrorist than a social bully; her stall was packed with people all day long.
She not only warmly welcomes people into her stall, but after they leave, she also grabs a handful of dried shrimp and puts it in their hand, telling them to come back next time.
Ye Yaodong felt a chill run down his spine; he didn't know what to do if he encountered someone so enthusiastic.
With Ye's mother around for the next two days, the foot traffic at their stall was naturally high. She intercepted foreigners at the stall every day, and some foreigners who stayed for several days became afraid and avoided them from a distance.
Ye's mother had already become a legend among the nearby stalls and was almost a celebrity in the entire exhibition hall. In just three days, many organizations in the exhibition hall had heard about her, and an old woman was enthusiastically soliciting customers in the exhibition hall.
Anyway, she doesn't care. She's leaving tomorrow, and it's hard to say whether she'll come back next year.
After all the exhibits were dismantled and transported to the train station, including the five large bags of clothes that Ye's mother had bought, they were finally free to move around.
Their train tickets were for 4 PM, which meant they had a whole day to themselves. They got up early and wandered around, taking photos at places like the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall and the Pearl River.
I also bought some food to take on the train, since I'll be on the train for two days and two nights.
When Ye's mother boarded the train, she was still a little reluctant to leave. "This city of Guangzhou is so lively and bustling, and there are so many foreigners. It's a pity that I didn't stay a few more days. It's not easy to come all this way."
"You don't want to go back?"
"It would be great if the Canton Fair lasted longer, so we could make more money."
"If it lasts too long, we might not earn much more. The foreign visitors will be concentrated in the limited number of days. Anyway, one Canton Fair accounts for the sales of the entire previous year. This one is even higher than the first half of the year. I'll calculate it when I get back."
"I'll come with you again next year, and I'll bring you more foreigners then. You young people are so shy; you need to be more enthusiastic towards your guests."
When Ye Yaodong heard her say "enthusiastic," his scalp tingled. "Do you think everyone is like you, treating guests like they're in their own home, and telling them not to be shy and to come again next time?"
"Pretty much. They've come all the way from abroad to visit us, so of course we have to be welcoming. What do you call that? That's called hospitality."
"You're becoming more and more cultured! You can use idioms and speak English. That's amazing! You should consider taking the postgraduate entrance exam."
Mother Ye chuckled, "I still remember, hi-lo hi-lo, good good, passerby passerby, one special one special."
"You can show off when we get back."
"How could I do that? People would laugh at me."
Lin Xiuqing couldn't help but laugh, "You're worried about this?"
"I'm exhausted from all this talking. I need to lie down and rest. I've been walking all day. Luckily, I'm not old yet and I can still walk around."
"Does your back still hurt?"
"It's hurting a bit again now, after walking all day, but I'll feel better after putting on a plaster. I'll have to lie down for two more days on the train, and I'll be fine once I get off."
Ye Yaodong said, "I've already talked to Dad. When we arrive at the station, he'll come to Shanghai with us, and we'll take you all for a physical examination the next day."
Ye's mother immediately sat up straight in bed and raised her voice, "Why do you need a physical examination? I'm perfectly fine, I'm not sick or in pain, why do I need a checkup? No need for a checkup, why waste that time and money? After we get off the bus, we'll go back to Zhoushan, and then I'll hurry back with the goods."
"Since we're already here, it's convenient. We have our own car. It'll only take a day. Ah Qing and I also need to get it checked."
"You two want to investigate too? You're both so young, what are you investigating? If you want to investigate, you two investigate, I'm not investigating, I want to go back."
“If I don’t take you back, how will you get back? I’ve told you, listen to me, no amount of money is more important than good health.”
"It's too much trouble. Hospitals are all liars. They're perfectly fine, but they insist on saying you have this problem or that problem, and they prescribe a bunch of useless medicines."
"You, who have worked in an organization before and are a Women's Federation cadre, how can you say such ignorant things?"
Ye's mother told him that it was a bit difficult to refute her; how could she say that she was ignorant?
"The hospitals in Shanghai are among the best in the country. Do you think they would cheat you out of your money? Getting a checkup will put your mind at ease."
Ye's mother reluctantly agreed, "Alright then, let's investigate. Why waste time on this?"
"You should think about it. What if something happens and you haven't spent all your money? That would be such a waste. You haven't even enjoyed life yet. So you should get checked out. Only with good health can you enjoy the blessings of the rest of your life."
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."
"From now on, you'll listen to me."
"Go, go, go."
Ye Yaodong now has money, but in his heart, the health of his whole family is the most important thing. His biggest hope now is that his whole family will be healthy.
Although his parents lived long lives in their previous lives, they still suffered from various aches and pains in their old age, but they always endured them and were reluctant to take medicine.
They insisted on choosing cheaper domestic medicines, even though the imported ones were supposed to be better and would cost several hundred yuan more each month. The doctor had already warned them that domestic medicines would have more side effects.
But in order to save money, they still chose domestic products, which saved them several hundred yuan a month. At that time, he didn't have the ability to do so, and no one listened to him. The two elderly people were the ones who could take action, so he was helpless.
Now, of course, you should get checked out and take your medication.
The return journey took nearly two days and two nights, and everyone was somewhat exhausted, so they didn't have the same energy they had when they first arrived. Even Ye's mother, unusually, didn't go out to visit anyone and stayed in the carriage.
Ye Yaodong could tell from her appearance that she was getting old, and her mental and physical strength were not as good. She had been working at a high intensity in Guangzhou these past few days, and after so many tiring days, she even spent half a day shopping before getting on the bus. It's no wonder she had no energy now.
It wasn't until two days later, when they arrived in Shanghai, that everyone regained some energy, but they were still listless.
They gathered at the station entrance after exiting the station.
Ye Yaodong clapped his hands twice. "This trip has come to a successful conclusion. Go back and follow up on your own orders. I won't be going back with you. The deputy factory manager will take you back. I'll be back two days later after the goods I shipped arrive and everything is arranged. You can get reimbursed by the finance department when you get back. Okay, meeting adjourned."
Everyone shouted and clapped. After the deputy factory director finished greeting Ye Yaodong, everyone followed and left.
Ye Yaodong, on the other hand, took a taxi home with his wife and mother.
The children haven't finished school yet, so they can relax a bit and go home to rest properly.
Mother Ye asked, "When are we going for the checkup? Tomorrow morning?"
"Yes, I'm going for a check-up tomorrow morning. I called my dad, and he should be here this afternoon."
"Okay, let's look into it together."
"When you finish your medical check-up and go back to your hometown, please tell your aunt that if your uncle calls, she should mention it to him and ask him to get her health checked."
"You're crazy. Why are you suddenly reminding someone to get a medical checkup? I didn't think you were cursing him for being sick."
Ye Yaodong knew this, of course, which is why he was too embarrassed to bring it up himself and asked his mother to do it instead.
Even his own parents are so unhappy about it, how could he possibly chase after outsiders to get him to get a medical checkup? Do they really think he's cursing people?
Taking advantage of the opportunity after her inspection, if her aunt comes to visit the old lady, she can also mention it briefly.
"You'll definitely mention that you went to Guangzhou for a medical check-up and stuff, so just mention it briefly."
"You're such a busybody, worrying about other people too."
"Go to sleep, eat after you wake up, I'm exhausted."
When Ye's father arrived in the afternoon, he was also muttering to himself, saying that Ye was making a fuss over nothing and that he had to take them for a medical check-up.
But after they were diagnosed with a host of health problems the next day, the two old men were speechless.
The next day when they came to pick up the reports, the doctor said that Ye's father had high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high uric acid, and Ye's mother had cervical spondylosis, lumbar disc herniation, rheumatism, and uterine cysts.
When the doctor read the results report, the two of them turned pale with fright and grabbed Ye Yaodong's arm, as if they were about to make their last arrangements.
Fortunately, the couple and the doctor reassured them that this was a common ailment among the elderly, and that medication could help control it; a complete cure was impossible, but it wouldn't kill them anyway.
The two were finally relieved and repeatedly promised to take their medicine properly.
"Isn't she perfectly fine normally? How come she's sick as soon as she comes to the hospital?"
"Just because you look fine doesn't mean you're healthy. These are all detected by the most advanced equipment. Just take your medicine on time."
The two old men obediently agreed, not daring to say anything more.
Now that they have money, they're afraid of dying too.
After seeing the results for the two elders, it was their turn.
When Lin Xiuqing read the doctor's report, her heart skipped a beat as she looked into the doctor's eyes.
The doctor's glasses slipped down to his nose, and he stared directly at Lin Xiuqing, speaking with a somewhat serious expression.
"It's an intestinal polyp, and it's gotten quite big. It needs to be surgically removed, otherwise it might grow bigger in the future. Also, after it's removed, it needs to be tested to see if there are any lesions."
"what?"
The family of four was both surprised and nervous.
Now it was Lin Xiuqing's turn to turn pale, nervous and scared. "I had a physical examination last year, and this didn't happen last year."
Did you have a bowel examination last year?
"Well, it seems like there isn't one..."
"Isn't that enough? Besides, just because it wasn't detected last year doesn't mean it won't be this year. It's just a minor surgery, so you'll feel more at ease having it removed. If a follow-up check shows no lesions, then there's nothing to worry about."
"What if there's a disease?"
"If there is any disease, it should be detected and treated early. You are so young, the outcome shouldn't be too bad."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Although Ye Yaodong was worried that it was a bad polyp, now that the diagnosis was confirmed, he was at least relieved and no longer had to keep worrying about this important matter.
Ye's mother looked at the doctor suspiciously and said to Lin Xiuqing, "You're so young, how could you have an intestinal problem? Is this doctor reliable? Should we go to another hospital for another checkup?"
Lin Xiuqing thought so too. She felt that she didn't feel uncomfortable anywhere and was young, so how could she possibly be sick?
“Ah Dong, I think Mom is right. Should we go to another hospital for a checkup? Her diagnosis might not be accurate.”
"I don't think it's necessary. This hospital is one of the best in Shanghai, it won't make a mistake. Just listen to the doctor, my results are all fine."
Ye Yaodong felt more at ease after confirming the detailed solution with the doctor.
"It's nothing serious, just a minor surgery. It's better to find out sooner rather than later, it gives us peace of mind. Early detection means it's all minor stuff."
