Around 6:30, Yang Xiaole finally found his way back to the hospital according to Luo Jinping's instructions.

At this time, there were a few people coming in and out of the hospital entrance.

Presumably, they were here for emergency treatment.

Yang Guangzhi was anxiously waiting there, his eyes fixed on the direction where Yang Xiaole had just left.

But he didn't dare to leave, afraid that his son wouldn't be able to find him.

Yang Xiaole came from a different direction, and Yang Guangzhi hadn't seen him yet.

Approaching him, Yang Xiaole spat out his dried tobacco and glanced in the distance, imitating his father's actions. "Dad, what are you looking at?"

"I..."

Yang Guangzhi was about to speak when he heard a familiar voice and turned his head.

Immediately, he started cursing loudly, "You little brat, it's so late, why did you just come back now? I was so worried!"

Yang Xiaole blinked innocently and said, "Dad, is it okay to scold people like this?"

"You..."

Yang Guangzhi angrily picked up his dried tobacco stick and was about to hit him.

"No, no, this thing can hurt people, I was just joking."

Yang Xiaole quickly surrendered.

Then he naturally said, "Teacher Luo had something to do, so he dropped me off at the intersection ahead and went back. I went to his house to pick up some books and came back."

"Where are the books?"

"Teacher Luo said he would bring them back when he goes home, so he didn't let me take them."

Upon hearing this, Yang Guangzhi bypassed him and spat out his dried tobacco.

"Alright, let's eat something."

After saying that, he opened his bag and gave him a corn cake.

"Hey, Dad, we finally made it here, let's go to the breakfast shop to eat. These corn cakes are hard and difficult to chew."

"No, without food coupons, what can you eat?"

After speaking, he took out a corn cake and handed it to him.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole shook his head speechlessly. He didn't need it anymore, there was no need to suffer!

Looking around, he said to his father, "Dad, wait for me, I'll be right back. I'm going to find a restroom."

After saying that, he turned around and ran away.

"Hey! There's a pit toilet in the hospital!"

Watching him run away, Yang Guangzhi shouted, but seeing that he didn't stop or care, he thought he went to pee.

Picking up the corn cake and biting into it, he stared at the figure, worried that he would get lost.

After waiting for a while, he felt something was wrong.

This guy went to a breakfast shop far away.

But thinking about it, this guy didn't have food coupons or money, so he felt relieved.

"Dad, come quickly!"

Yang Guangzhi was eating the corn cake when he heard the voice and looked up.

He saw Third Brother standing at the entrance of the breakfast shop, waving at him.

"Oh no!"

Yang Guangzhi quickly put the cake into his bag and walked quickly towards the breakfast shop.

There were two stoves and a cutting board at the entrance of the breakfast shop, and the master was frying dough sticks and cooking liver.

There were also people busy inside.

The shop was not small, with seven or eight dirty tables, covered in greasy stains.

When he arrived, he saw Yang Xiaole eating a big meat bun.

This scared him, "Hey, my little brat, where did we get meat coupons and food coupons? Don't eat, don't eat."

Damn it.

If he wasn't his own son, he really wanted to hit him with a shovel.

After saying that, he was about to go and snatch his bun.

Seeing his father's expression, Yang Xiaole knew he couldn't tease him anymore, so he quickly said, "Dad, don't worry, it's from Teacher Luo!"

"From Teacher Luo?"

Yang Guangzhi became even angrier!

"Teacher Luo, Teacher Luo, is he your real dad? He gives you meat coupons, food coupons, and even money?"

Other people eating also looked over.

"Dad, let's talk about this later, don't say it in front of Mom, or she'll fight you."

Yang Guangzhi was not in the mood to listen to his jokes.

He was about to go over and grab his ear.

"Hey, Dad, don't be angry, I'll tell you later when we go back. I earned this money! Really, I'll tell you when we go back, it's not convenient here."

Luo Teacher's reason failed, so he had to come up with another one.

Yang Guangzhi was about to speak, but suddenly he paused and thought of something. These past few days, they suddenly started eating fish, which was inexplicable.

He became suspicious.

Seeing his expression, Yang Xiaole said, "Alright, Dad, eat first. I'll tell you slowly later. Don't worry, okay? Do you not like this? There's fried liver, soy milk, dough sticks over there. What do you want to eat?"

"Eat, eat, eat! Still eating! These are enough."Yang Guangzhi sat down with a distressed look on his face.

He had scolded his son enough, he couldn't possibly beat him to death.

Well, he could beat him half to death, but he should wait until after he finished seeing the doctor. Now was not the time to act.

Yang Xiaole knew he had gone too far as a child.

But would he steal food by himself?

He couldn't bring himself to do it.

With a large sum of money and various coupons in his possession, and considering his lack of nutrition, how could he not eat something good?

Even if he had to endure a beating, he would still eat.

After sitting down, Yang Guangzhi didn't move. Instead, he asked him about the prices, "How much is this? How many coupons do I need?"

He wasn't too worried about the money, he had 30 yuan with him!

The main concern was the coupons.

"Oh, this side is 20 cents per bowl, two fen of food coupons and one fen of meat coupon. This steamed bun is one fen of food coupon, no meat coupon. Seven fen for one. (Don't ask why they don't accept meat coupons, I don't know either, it's written in the information. Maybe it's because the meat is garbage!)"

Yang Guangzhi calculated silently in his heart.

Seeing Dad lost in thought, Yang Xiaole laughed and said, "Dad, don't bother calculating, it's a total of 82 fen, 8 liang of food coupons, and 2 liang of meat coupons."

Yang Guangzhi knew he calculated slowly, his face turned red, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Food coupons were hard to come by, but he could still get food with them.

It was just the meat coupons, but it was only two liang, not much to think about.

So he didn't get angry.

"Dad, are you not hungry? If not, I'll eat this bowl!"

Yang Xiaole looked at him not moving and jokingly said.

Yang Guangzhi glared at him, picked up his chopsticks, and stirred the noodles casually.

He finished a third of it in one bite.

He picked up a big steamed bun and took a big bite.

Then he had a satisfied look on his face.

"Dad, the meat bun is still delicious!"

Yang Xiaole took a bite of the noodles and looked at him with a satisfied expression, smiling at him.

Hearing this, Yang Guangzhi sighed.

Damn, it was delicious, but so expensive!

There were too many people, he didn't feel comfortable saying that.

Three bites for one big steamed bun, and a little soup to wash it down.

It was like a gust of wind.

Finally, he took out the half-eaten corn cake, asked the boss for some noodle soup, and finished the cake.

Yang Xiaole wasn't too slow either.

With him not eating the corn cake, the two of them finished almost at the same time.

"Burp"

After finishing, the two of them patted their stomachs with satisfaction.

They weren't really full.

They had already drunk a big bowl of soup.

But both of them had satisfied expressions on their faces. They couldn't usually eat so much fine food.

Yang Xiaole didn't dare to eat too much oil, afraid it would cause diarrhea later.

And Yang Guangzhi couldn't bear to eat too much.

So they didn't order more.

After finishing, Yang Xiaole went to pay the bill.

They paid and left the restaurant.

It was hot outside, and they were already sweating after eating breakfast.

"Ouch!"

Just as they walked out, Yang Guangzhi couldn't hold it in any longer. He lifted the old gray-white towel around his neck and wiped the sweat off his head, then immediately grabbed his son's ear.

"Tell me, where did you get the money and coupons?"

"Ouch, it hurts! Let go, how can I speak if you don't let go!"

Yang Guangzhi wasn't like his mother Wang Qiuju, he didn't know how to hold back when he hit someone, so it hurt a bit.

Hearing this, Yang Guangzhi finally let go.

He took out some dried tobacco and stuffed it into the pipe.

Only then did Yang Xiaole slowly say, "The money and coupons are the payment and coupons I received after submitting my work."

"Ah? Payment? What is payment?"

Yang Guangzhi paused in his action of stuffing the tobacco, looking at him strangely.

"It means that Teacher Luo helped me submit a manuscript in his name. He sent a manuscript to the city's Mingri Daily. After the manuscript was accepted, they gave me money. 10 yuan and 1 jin of meat coupons, 1 jin of oil coupons, and 5 jin of food coupons."

Yang Xiaole was just talking nonsense.

He would go back and find Luo Laoshi to get a piece of paper, and then make a carving himself, just to fool them.

Anyway, no one would come down to check.

By then, he would have a good relationship with Luo Laoshi, and as for Luo Laoshi's side, he could only make up some nonsense.

Ah!

It seemed that he was getting farther and farther on the path of deception, and he couldn't turn back!

Yang Guangzhi looked at him suspiciously, "Is it true or false?"

"Why would I lie to you? When we get back, I'll have Teacher Luo show you the proof. My name is on it!"

Hearing that there was proof, Yang Guangzhi laughed, patted his head, and said, "Good, my son has made something of himself. You've given your father face."

Yang Xiaole's head was buzzing from being patted.

Then he noticed his father's outstretched hand and was puzzled, "What's wrong?"

This novel is available on bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

"Where's the money? Where are the coupons? Give them to me!"

Yang Xiaole knew this would happen.

So he deliberately reported less.

But he still pretended to be reluctant and said, "Dad, I earned it, I want to keep it for myself!"

"You little brat, we work from dawn to dusk, do you think you didn't eat the food we worked for? Why did you take so much money and coupons? Give them to me!"

After speaking, he wanted to pat his head again.

"Fine, I'll give them all to you!"Yang Xiaole quickly handed over 10 yuan and a few tickets to him: "I just used 2 liang of the meat coupon, there's only 8 liang left."

Yang Guangzhi happily accepted the money and tickets.

"tui!"

Although there weren't many, he still spat and began to count them.

He counted twice.

Only then did he carefully open the small purse for money and stuffed it into a small pocket in his chest.

The small pocket was sewn overnight by Wang Qiuju, for fear of losing the money.

However, this thin shirt with a pocket sewn on it bulged in the front, which always felt strange.

It was almost time for work now, and there was a large crowd on the street, like a war.

In groups.

Pedestrians and cyclists interweaved in the middle of the road, with laughter and playful noises from time to time.

Most of them were wearing blue worker's clothes.

Yang Guangzhi was dazzled.

From young men to grandpas, young ladies, daughter-in-laws, and aunties, people of all kinds were interwoven together.

This scene was rarely seen in the countryside.

The two walked and watched until they arrived at the hospital.

By this time, it was already past seven o'clock, and people had gradually started to arrive at the hospital.

Unlike the long queues in the future, there were only a few people waiting here.

Entering the Large Courtyard, a four-story western-style building with a marble facade stood in front, with a very wide space on both sides, and there were even a dozen cement steps at the entrance.

The two sat there and waited for half an hour before people started to work.
