Volume 5: Qingming Chapter 10 Discharge
After the plaster on his shoulder was removed, Guan Nuo was discharged from the hospital accompanied by Guan Qingtong and Zhu Hongwen.
Zhu Hongwen stopped the car at the gate of the community. He watched Guan Qingtong helping Guan Nuo get out of the car. He said, "You should stay at home recently. Your hands are still weak, so it's not convenient to live in the dormitory..."
Guan Nuo nodded.
He saw Zhou Zhihao walking out of the ramen restaurant next to the community, and the pancake stall was still there.
Guan Nuo said, "Mom, I'm going to buy some pancakes. You go back first."
"It's almost time for lunch..." Zhu Hongwen frowned.
"Go ahead." Guan Qingtong said.
She watched Guan Nuo walk to the pancake stand, then she turned around and said to Zhu Hongwen, "Go back to work quickly and bring some fruit back after get off work."
"knew."
Guan Nuo walked to the pancake stall.
Zhou Zhihao recognized him and asked, "It's been a while since you came here. Are you still the same as before?"
"Yes, two eggs, fried dough sticks and ham, cilantro and green onions."
Zhou Zhihao did it quickly.
"Um, has your wife given birth?" Guan Nuo asked.
"It's a baby boy, weighing seven pounds. He will be one month old next week," Zhou Zhihao was beating eggs on a pancake. He looked up at Guan Nuo and said, "I plan to go to Sumo with my wife and child next month."
Sprinkle with green onions and cilantro.
"She knows?"
"Yes, I had planned to wait until she was out of confinement before telling her. But last week, she suddenly told me that she dreamed about her mother, so I told her."
After brushing the pancakes with sauce, Zhou Zhihao packed them into a bag and handed it to Guan Nuo.
Guan Nuo took out his phone and was about to pay, but Zhou Zhihao stopped him, "Take it and eat it. This stall will be run by someone else in a few days."
"Will you come to Tangjiang again in the future?" Guan Nuo asked.
"Look at my wife. We go wherever she wants to go. She said she will go out to find a job when the child goes to kindergarten. This way, I won't be so stressed..."
"fine."
"yes."
Guan Nuo took a bite of the pancake, turned around, and walked back to the entrance of the community. He hesitated for a moment, turned around again, and walked towards the subway station.
…
Jiang You fell down, gasping for breath, sweat streaming down his forehead and falling into the grass.
Lin Yu sat down next to him. "Being heavier means it's working. You're growing muscles. Did you feel easier running today than in the past few days?"
"Misleading students. A mediocre teacher."
Jiang Mo, who was standing not far away with Zhao Lijun to supervise Jiang You's running, staggered to Jiang You's side, squatted down, and watched Jiang You's belly rise and fall with his breathing. He stretched out his hand and poked his belly with his index finger, and when he felt his clothes were wet with sweat, he withdrew his hand in disgust.
Zhao Lijun also followed and said, "I'm going back first. Today is Saturday, and my grandson will come over."
"Go ahead, go ahead. I can't do it anymore." He took off his glasses and closed his eyes. "Really, I need to take a break. Lin Yu, I have to take a day off tomorrow."
"You have suffered so much for so many days, you can't give up halfway," Zhao Lijun advised Jiang You, "otherwise it would be like suffering in vain. I am leaving now, see you tomorrow."
Jiang You said faintly, "See you tomorrow."
"He's right. You've adapted to it now. It will get easier later on..."
"Ouch!" Jiang You screamed.
Jiang Mo sat down on Jiang You's stomach.
"You will lose your old father this way, you know that," Jiang You opened his eyes, he barely propped up his upper body and sat up, and pulled Jiang Mo down, "Are you happy? Go run two laps, I'll watch you."
Jiang Mo turned around and ran behind Lin Yu.
"Really? I owed you in my last life," Jiang You turned to look at Lin Yu, "Children are all debts. You'll understand when you have children in the future."
"I have a psychological trauma now," Lin Yu smiled bitterly. "I poached her. Many people in the company were dissatisfied with her. She worked harder than men. One month, she was on a business trip for almost the entire month. Later, the company had problems. She was partly responsible, but of course the biggest responsibility lies with me. Many people left, but she didn't. She stayed..."
"You don't hate her?"
"I hate her, but she's dead now, and I'm still alive, right?" Lin Yu looked at Jiang You, "I can't help but wonder, is she acting the whole time? How can she act so realistically?" He shook his head, "Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore."
Jiang You saw a man and a woman walking towards them.
The man is Fang Wensong, and the woman also looks familiar.
Fang Wensong also recognized Jiang You. He walked a few steps into the lawn and asked, "You are here too?"
"I just finished a 10-kilometer run to lose weight."
"Oh," Fang Wensong nodded, "I also plan to lose weight. I bought a gym membership last year and only went two or three times a year."
"I've also applied for a membership card," Jiang You pointed at Lin Yu, "He's my coach, and he's very responsible. If you live nearby, I'll recommend him to you."
"My home is in Wuping District..."
The woman next to him suddenly recognized Jiang You and said, "Hey, is that you?"
After she finished speaking, her expression became a little embarrassed.
"You are Lao Cai's niece, right?" Jiang You said.
"Yes."
"Long time no see, how is Lao Cai doing recently?"
“Very good.”
After chatting for a few words, Fang Wensong and Lao Cai's niece left.
After they walked away, Jiang You said, "That woman had been on a blind date with me before."
"Then today..."
"It's probably another blind date."
"She doesn't look very old."
"I just graduated last year. I said I was going to take the civil service exam. I don't know if I passed it." Jiang You stood up and patted the dirt on his hands. He said, "Let's go back. I feel hungry. Let's go back and eat something and take a nap. I ordered an ice cream cake and it will be delivered this afternoon. Do you want to eat some with me?"
"I have something to do."
"Then I'll enjoy it all by myself," Jiang You looked at Jiang Mo who was standing aside, "You, go back by yourself."
Jiang Mo looked at him.
After a few seconds, Jiang Mo stretched out his hands and said, "Hug."
Jiang You sighed and picked him up, "Didn't you just complain about the smell of sweat ?"
…
Guan Nuo looked at the closed yard door of the insect house.
He sighed and was about to leave, but saw Jiang You holding Jiang Mo walking towards him from not far away.
"Brother Jiang." Guan Nuo shouted.
Jiang You saw Guan Nuo and said, "Xiao Nuo, are you discharged from the hospital?"
"It came out today."
Jiang You slowly walked to the gate of the yard, took out the key and opened the door. "Sit down for a while. I'll go upstairs to take a shower. I'm sweating all over."
Guan Nuo followed Jiang You into the yard and asked, "Where have you been?"
"In the park, losing weight," Jiang You turned to look at Guan Nuo, "Do you think I've lost some weight?"
Guan Nuo looked at Jiang You and said, "You seem to be thinner."
"I think the scale must be broken."
