Even if Yin Xiamo really did something to my original body and the heart had some kind of "magic", and Lu Xinmeng, who had the transplanted heart, had a very good prognosis and could be transferred to the general ward after three days in the ICU, she would have to stay there for at least a month to observe her condition and confirm that she was fine before she was allowed to be discharged.

After the operation, he only rested in the hospital for eight days before being forced to leave. And he was discharged in a wheelchair. I... I really don’t know what to say about this Lu Xinjian.

As for the little girl in the red and black Lolita dress next to Lu Xinmeng, if nothing unexpected happens, she should be the patient who had "a cornea transplant" mentioned by Lu Xinjian who was in the First People's Hospital's inpatient department at the time.

The result is such a small child...

The cornea is different from other organs in the human body. It is one of the few "organs" without lymphatic vessels and blood vessels. The success rate of transplantation is much higher than that of kidneys, livers, hearts, etc., and the rejection reaction is much lighter. Moreover, corneal transplantation is a minor operation. The patient can basically open his eyes the next day, and then stay in the hospital for seven or eight days. He can be discharged after observation and no problems.

Therefore, it is completely within the rules for the girl named "Li Denghua" who had the cornea transplanted from "Yin Shiren" that Lu Xinjian mentioned on the phone just now to be discharged from the hospital during this period and to be able to come to the coffee shop to play in full swing.

Under normal circumstances, because they need to undergo surgery, they must have asked for leave from school in advance. Maybe they had missed a period of time due to eye problems. It should still be during the holidays, so it would be no problem for Lu Xinjian to go over and pick them up to play. That's it...

"I discussed it with the director, and he said that Xinmeng could come out and play for a while, but she would have to go back after dinner at night."

Facing my questioning, Lu Xinjian felt a little guilty: "The director also said that a happy mood and a relaxed environment are conducive to the child's recovery. Xinmeng is a special case of heart transplantation in their hospital. There has been no abnormality in the past few days, so..."

So you took your daughter so far away to Minami-nagi district when she was still very weak?

"Sister Nuoer, don't blame Dad. It was me who asked for it."

Facing my suspicious look, Lu Xinmeng in the wheelchair took the initiative to explain: "I have been reading your book for such a long time. Now that my sister's coffee shop has opened, so many people in the group have come. Xinmeng must come too. If she doesn't come, Xinmeng will definitely regret it for the rest of her life..."

"What nonsense you are talking about."

I bent down slightly and touched the little girl's head: "You can come anytime when you recover from your illness."

From this we can see that the director of the First People's Hospital has a very good relationship with Lu Xinjian.

So good that I'm willing to bet my career on it.

Hospitals have a very strict set of procedures for treating patients. There are clear regulations on what needs to be done to the patient and when, and what needs to be done on the day after the surgery. Some of these rules are bottom lines and some are dead lines. It all depends on how scheming the patient is and whether they are not too serious about it.

For example, there is a classic scene often filmed in TV dramas: a woman is about to give birth, and then a delivery accident occurs. The doctor runs out to ask the parents-in-law and the husband whether to save the adult or the child. Then a group of relatives outside the delivery room are in confusion and can't make up their minds, and the surgeon is panicking, "Hurry up and make a decision" - in fact, the hospital will never ask such questions. Unborn children are not "people" in the legal sense, but the woman is a real adult. If something happens to the woman, the entire obstetrics and gynecology department and even the hospital will be in trouble. It is impossible for a doctor to ask the family members when he can choose to save the adult or the child. The doctor will definitely save the adult, unless the entire hospital does not want to open and the director of doctors wants to be sued.

Now Lu Xinjian's insistence on taking his daughter out is a case of this kind. The director is almost gambling with his own career. Once his friend Lu Xinjian's daughter Lu Xinmeng has an accident outside the hospital, he will definitely not be able to continue working as a doctor.

"Mr. Lu has already told me about your family."

While I was comforting Lu Xinmeng, the woman behind her, who should be Li Denghua's mother, spoke and bowed to me: "Thank you... for giving Denghua light, thank you."

"Since Mom said so..."

At the woman's signal, the girl in the black and red Lolita dress also bowed slightly to me. Although her tone was a little arrogant, her attitude was still very sincere: "Thank you, sister."

Why do I feel like you're... a little tall?

Am I already inferior to even elementary school students?

"Don't mention the past."

Facing their apologies, I shook my head repeatedly, smiled, and gestured to a seat not far away: "I have reserved a seat. Come and see what you want to eat."

"Douhua is a very famous child prodigy in Kamihama City. She has won first place in the national physics, mathematics and chemistry competitions for three consecutive years since she was in the third grade of elementary school. She also published a paper on particle colliders. Even the engineers in the Artisan District were shocked when they read it. She is a complete science prodigy, but her grades in liberal arts subjects such as Chinese and English are a mess."

While pushing my daughter to that location, Lu Xinjian leaned close to my ear and said:

"Aren't you a novelist? Her mother is looking for a tutor for Chinese and English recently. I think you can take the position."

"..."

No. 122 Gurgle, Gurgle, Gurgle

At a more formal "family" table in the coffee shop, I helped a few people tidy up the table and handed two menus to Lu Xinjian and the mother of the talented girl.

"Is Xinmeng's body okay? Can she eat anything?"

When Lu Xinjian was looking at the menu, I reminded him, "A lot of the fast food here may not be suitable for children."

I am not a professional and have never been a doctor, but I do have basic medical and nursing knowledge.

As an orphan, I have no parents, but I have many "brothers and sisters" in the welfare home. If someone is sick, we usually need to help take care of them.

Generally, there are two types of children who are sent to welfare homes. The first type of children are physically healthy. They are abandoned mostly because their parents got pregnant unexpectedly, their parents don't want to raise them, or their parents had an accident and passed away, leaving behind an orphan with no relatives. If these children stay in the police station or public security bureau for a few months without being adopted, they will be sent to an welfare home.

I am this type of person.

According to the director of the welfare home... I was just born at that time and was abandoned near the welfare home by someone unknown. A medical worker who passed by found me and took me back.

Children like me accounted for more than 30% of the orphans in the welfare home, and the proportion of baby girls was higher. At that time, the quality of people in the suburbs of Kamihama City was not high. If they had a baby girl, they would not want her. Or, because the primitive impulses of the parents caused trouble and they had no money for abortion, they would secretly pack up the baby and throw it in front of the welfare home.

In addition, more than half of the children in welfare homes suffer from congenital diseases or are "unsatisfactory" in some way and are abandoned by their parents.

A rather cruel fact is that the probability of children in welfare institutions surviving to adulthood is actually not very high.

After all, there are many children here who are suffering from serious illnesses and are lost because their parents cannot afford the money for their treatment.

This means that most of the ordinary, healthy children living there have taken care of their peers to some extent since childhood and witnessed many separations and deaths.

For example, I often accompany children from orphanage to the hospital and take care of them on holidays and weekends.

After all these visits, although I am not a doctor, I have learned a lot about caring for patients and some basic medical knowledge.

Generally speaking, after a major operation like a heart transplant, there are many things to pay attention to during the rest period, especially when it comes to eating.

First of all, you should avoid spicy and irritating foods, such as ginger, chili, cumin, and alcohol, as they can easily increase the burden on your heart.

Under this premise, many fast foods in the store are taboos for Lu Xinmeng, because Master Wang will inevitably use ginger, scallions and cooking wine when cooking. The alcohol content of cooking wine is very low, but it is also a burden on the patient's liver that cannot be ignored.

Secondly, fried and grilled foods are also taboo, so the fried chicken and grilled sausages in the store can be killed. Finally... if I remember correctly, high-sugar and high-fat foods are also not allowed, so some snacks in the store, such as egg tarts and milk tea, can be ignored.

All in all, what’s left is pretty much… basic breakfast and steamed chicken?

Steamed chicken cannot be the one with ginseng added.

It should be fine to have xiaolongbao, meat dumplings, etc. with a portion of steamed chicken and chicken soup.

It’s a pity that the store doesn’t sell fruit, otherwise my mouth would be greasy after eating buns for breakfast, and it would be good to have a few apples or something... Give them a watermelon, they still have watermelon.

When the children in the welfare home were seriously ill, I would often buy them fruits. Apples were the best. They were cheap and available all year round. They could supplement a certain amount of sugar and were rich in vitamin C. However, many people did not like to eat them with the skin on, so as a caregiver, I had to remove the skin.

"It's okay. Xinmeng came here after eating in the hospital."

As I watched, Lu Xinjian took the menu and glanced at it carefully: "Is this really a coffee shop? How come you even have fast food dumplings?"

I smiled and explained, "The store's business has expanded recently, and we have a lot of food."

In fact, I have always wanted to complain about this.

Originally, when I came to the coffee shop to apply for a job, I thought it was just a simple, high-end place where I could drink coffee and pet cats, just like some foreign luxury brands, where the entrance ticket cost dozens of dollars, and a cup of coffee cost hundreds of dollars. The "upper class" came in with laptops, sat down, and had a cup of coffee, a cat, and wrote a 2000-word paper all day.

This way, I should be able to have an easy time even as a maid.

As for the coffee shop, take Chino Kafu in "Would you like a rabbit today?" as an example. She stands at the service counter of the coffee shop every day with an angora rabbit on her head. When a customer comes, she makes a cup of coffee. When there are no customers, she just stands there and acts cute. Such a job must be very easy.

I have indeed seen similar stores before. I stood in front of the door of that high-end coffee shop for a long time in a daze. My first impression of this kind of store was - so luxurious.

But I don't know why, this kind of store is no longer seen now.

It's like slowly... many stores have made adjustments and concessions in order to adapt to this increasingly fast-paced society.

When I was in college, I remember there was a hotel near the school. Next to the hotel was a fast food restaurant. The hotel did not serve fast food. One dish cost at least 50 yuan. To book a table, you would first have to pay a few dozen yuan for the table fee, then the tableware disinfection fee, and service fees. An ordinary person would call a few classmates, order two vegetarian dishes, two meat dishes, and a soup, and the meal would cost at least 500 yuan.

At that time, many classmates in my class would go to that store when they were dating or organizing activities to act as "rich men". I was also dragged there to be a "strong man". The general rule of society at that time was... men paid for their own expenses and women could come as they pleased for free.

I still remember that the store was involved in a scandal about waiters "discriminating against fast food guys". What happened was that a student wanted to eat at a fast food restaurant next to the hotel, but he took the wrong road and went into the hotel. He told the waiter that he wanted two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes. The waiter said arrogantly, "You poor boy, don't you see where you are? We don't serve fast food. Fast food is for the lower class."

The incident quickly spread throughout the campus, and the hotel was nicknamed "The Upper Class Doesn't Run a Fast Food Hotel."

What’s even more dramatic is that as the pace of society becomes faster and faster, takeout has emerged as a new force. Fewer and fewer students go to big hotels to consume, and that “high-end hotel” began to lay off employees. The year I graduated, I heard that they were about to go bankrupt, so they switched to fast food and launched a takeout platform. Now you can order a meal with two meats and two vegetables from them for less than thirty yuan.

"It's good. I was worried that I wouldn't have anything to eat. You don't know the food in the hospital... Really. You can't put cooking wine, onions, ginger, or sugar in the food. I have no appetite at all."

Lu Xinjian looked at the menu for a while, then turned to Li Denghua and her mother: "What do you want to order? It doesn't matter, just order whatever you want. I'll pay this time!"

Li Denghua glanced cautiously at her mother behind her.

"It's okay, you order it."

Her mother seemed very cheerful: "Just don't order anything spicy or non-nutritious."

"Then I want this! This cat tart!"

Just as I expected, as a little girl, still a little girl in elementary school, although she has been a genius since she was young, Li Denghua's mentality is still similar to that of a child: "And this... this cat burger, and two chicken legs!"

I silently wrote down these plates on paper. The coffee shop has an automatic ordering system. If you have Alipay or WeChat, you can just scan the QR code on the table to enter the mini program, quickly select what you want and place an order. The whole process does not require the participation of the maid. After placing the order, there is very detailed food information on the table. It clearly states when the food will be ready and when the waiter will pick it up and deliver it. It is very convenient for both customers and us.

However, this type of mini-program is usually only used by teenagers. For some older customers, instead of spending time teaching them how to use this thing and how to pay online, Ouyang Xue suggested that we just go up and take a pen and paper to record it.

"Give us two servings of xiao long bao, and this steamed chicken."

Lu Xinjian said, turning to his wife next to him: "Dear, what do you want to eat?"

"I won't eat xiao long bao anymore, it's greasy."

Lu Xinjian's wife took the menu and glanced at it: "Let's have some mustard greens and lean meat porridge."

"Ok."

I quickly wrote down the dishes: “Is that all?”

"Ah."

"Wait a moment, you can look at the scenery or watch TV, or play with the cats."

After sticking the sticky note on the table, I bowed slightly to the few people and trotted to the kitchen.

"Here, with one watermelon and one orange juice."

Handing the note to Chef Wang in the kitchen, I whispered, "My friend."

"learn."

Master Wang also understood it tacitly and made an OK gesture.

Back in the hall, I saw Li Denghua and Lu Xinmeng at the dining table, curiously staring at the kittens that were slowly gathering around because of the guests.

Both of them looked curious about the kitten, but they didn't dare to make any unnecessary movements because their parents were around.

"Its name is Nenbao, and it's an American shorthair cat."

Seeing the two little guys like this, I took the initiative to walk over and picked up one of the cats: "The characteristics of American Shorthair cats are that their faces are relatively round, their colors are usually black and white, there are python-like patterns on their backs, and their eyes are mostly green, like this one."

Li Denghua was a little curious: "Is it called Nenbao?"

"Yes, female cat, 2 years old."

I put the American shorthair cat on the lap of little Lolita Li Denghua: "Nenbao is very docile and affectionate. You can touch it anywhere on its body. This kind of cat is usually used by farmers in the United States to catch mice. It is lively by nature and likes humans very much. It's okay for you to hold it."

Maybe it was the first time for Li Denghua to have such close contact with a cat. She put the umbrella in her hand aside and carefully touched the back of the American shorthair cat.

"It seems to be snoring?"

After touching it for a while, the little girl asked in surprise: "What's wrong? Did I hurt it?"

"No, purring all the time means it's very comfortable, and it also means the cat likes you very much."

I smiled and said, "Since this is a cat cafe, all the cats must be trained."

"Ahem, being exposed to cats and pets from a young age is really good for children."

Perhaps worried that Li Denghua's mother would have a problem with these cats and dogs, Lu Xinjian explained: "I have an elementary school classmate who is the director of a hospital. He talked to me about similar things. Children who often come into contact with cats when they are young are much less likely to suffer from asthma when they grow up than their peers. Because they are often in contact with cat hair, they have resistance at a very young age. The incidence of allergic rhinitis and the like is also much lower. Children who play with cats have a significantly lower incidence of heart disease, and their resistance to various colds is also much stronger."

Lu Xinjian’s wife was a little surprised: “Is there such a saying?”

"Yes, Director Wang told me."

Lu Xinjian turned his head and said, "The purring sound of a cat can help with recovery from some diseases, such as fractures, or the healing of some major surgeries. Cats often get injured in nature, and their companions will rely on the purring sound to help with healing."

Li Denghua's mother was stunned when she heard this: "Brother Lu, are you kidding or serious?"

"Seriously, why would I lie to you?"

Lu Xinjian was a little anxious. He took out his cell phone and said, "Here, I'll check it online now."

"See? A cat's purring has three main effects... First, it can make people happy and relieve their emotions. When people are in a good mood, they will recover faster. Second... The wavelength of the purring sound is generally 25 to 30 Hz. This frequency helps promote cell regeneration and relieve pain. Some Western hospitals have a treatment device that imitates this vibration wavelength to promote the recovery of patients with fractures. The cat's purring is purely natural."

Li Denghua's mother came over and said, "Let me see... is it real?"

"So why do you think I agreed to let Xinmeng come here..."

Lu Xinjian wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned to a cat not far away: "That's... Nuoer, why is that cat so ugly?"
