Dr. Lin, you hurt me.

Chapter 163 Growing Up in Just a Moment

Lin Feng stood at the window at the end of the corridor for an hour. No one disturbed him, and no one knew what he was thinking.

When he turned around, the head nurse felt that the child had grown up and his eyes were different from before.

Sometimes it only takes one day to grow.

"Auntie Nurse, I want to know something from you." Lin Feng felt that the head nurse who had worked in the hospital for decades was definitely experienced and knowledgeable about certain things.

"Come to my office." The head nurse probably guessed what the boy who grew up overnight wanted to ask.

"Please sit down." The head nurse pointed to a chair in front of the desk.

Lin Feng sat there, thinking about how to ask. This matter was indeed beyond his understanding.

The head nurse did not speak before Lin Feng, but just looked at the child and waited for him quietly.

After a while, Lin Feng suddenly took a deep breath.

The head nurse knew that the child was about to speak out his concerns.

"Auntie, may I ask how the families of those...those patients who died in the hospital before handled...what they did?" Lin Feng hesitated for a long time but couldn't find the right words.

The head nurse has seen many life and death situations, but it is rare to see such a strong teenager. Most of the children were crying loudly, and after crying they were confused and unable to accept it.

But children like Lin Feng are even more pitiful.

The head nurse gently said to Lin Feng: "Generally there are two ways. One is to send the patient home by ambulance, hold a funeral at home, and then cremate and bury the body at the funeral home. The other is to contact the funeral home to pick up the patient and hold a farewell ceremony at the funeral home."

Lin Feng knew the process of cremation after a funeral at home, as he had participated in a number of funerals. This was how most families of people who died at home arranged it.

But he has no home. They have no home.

Their home was sold to raise money for medical treatment.

The house in the rural hometown was also sold by Lin Hui after Lin Feng's grandparents passed away a few years ago. The funeral of the old man and the old lady was held at home. At that time, Lin Feng was still young, and he did whatever the adults said, and he was confused about the process.

Now that I have no house of my own, no home, do I have to hold the funeral in a rental house?

The landlord probably won't agree to that.

"Auntie, do you have the contact information of the funeral home?" Lin Feng clenched his fists tightly on his knees.

The head nurse rummaged through the drawer of her desk and found a business card for the funeral home, which she gently placed on the table in front of Lin Feng.

Lin Feng grabbed the business card and held it tightly in his hand.

"Can I let my father stay in the hospital for two more days? Until I find a suitable cemetery for him."

"It should be OK as long as you register. You should ask the morgue for the specific regulations."

Lin Feng stood up and bowed deeply to the head nurse, "Thank you."

The head nurse watched the boy walk out of the office silently.

What a good child, but he has to become the head of the family so early.

Lin Feng didn't sleep all night. He sat straight in front of the hospital bed, looking at his mother's haggard face and gray hair.

She is too tired, let her sleep a little longer.

The next day, after Wu Yan woke up, she left the hospital and did not go through the discharge procedures. After all, Lin Hui was still in the hospital, and if she did not go through the discharge procedures, it would seem that he would just be hospitalized for treatment as before.

They took the death certificate issued by the hospital and returned to the village, intending to prepare a grave for Lin Hui on the ancestral grave mountain, right next to Lin Hui's grave.

It was only then that the relatives in the village learned that Lin Hui had passed away. Some curious people wanted to inquire about his family’s funeral arrangements, but were stopped by people nearby.

"His family sold their house and borrowed money for medical treatment, but they still couldn't keep him here. Where did they get the money to hold a funeral? Everyone should help send him to the mountain. This orphan and his widowed mother are so pitiful."

Others also agreed with this approach.

If his family held a funeral, everyone would definitely go, but his house is gone and no one knows where to hold the funeral.

If there is no funeral, then everyone can send him off for the sake of past friendship.

In the end, there was no funeral, and Lin Feng and his mother took Lin Hui's ashes back to the village. On the day of the burial, relatives and friends in the village were waiting for them at the foot of the mountain to bid farewell to Lin Hui.

Lin Hui has no brothers or sisters, let alone children or nephews.

Everyone couldn't bear to see the orphan and his widowed mother go up the mountain alone in mourning, and they were even more afraid that they would become depressed.

The dead cannot be resurrected, so the living must work harder to live, as life moves forward.

This was the unanimous decision made by Lin Feng and his mother after they came out of the hospital.

They decided to save money, after all, the little money they had was borrowed. They didn't hold a funeral and sent Lin Hui back to his hometown.

After returning to the city from his hometown, Lin Feng slept for a day. He hadn't slept for many days.

In his sleep, Lin Feng's tears did not wet the pillow.

He dreamed of his father taking him to the market when he was a child. He rode on his father's shoulders, holding a red candied haws in his hand.

"Gee!" Little Lin Feng struggled to grab his father's short hair with one hand, and his two short legs beat his father's chest.

Lin Hui grabbed the boy's legs and suddenly ran faster.

"Hey...slow down...slow down...be careful not to fall!" Wu Yan chased after them, but could not catch up with the father and son.

When Lin Feng heard his mother's reminder from behind, he turned around and made a face at her.

Lin Feng was smiling in the dream, but he woke up while smiling. After waking up, Lin Feng did not get up immediately, as if he would not wake up from this dream as long as he did not get up and open his eyes.

A tear slid down my cheek and wet the pillow.

Dreams will eventually wake up.

Lin Feng wiped away his tears and helped Wu Yan pack up the things she would need for the stall.

I still have to keep my street stall open, and I have to pay back the money I owe. Life has to go on.

Lin Feng returned to school to attend classes, and there was only one month left before the college entrance examination.

The weather was getting hotter, but Lin Feng still insisted on wearing black clothes. No one asked him, so he became even more silent.

The head teacher called Lin Feng to the office. He was afraid that if the child continued to keep silent, he would have problems sooner or later. He told him not to let himself become depressed.

What a good child! With such good grades, he will get into a good university and find a decent job. He will definitely get better and better in the future.

Speaking of this, he called Lin Feng over just to ask about Lin Feng's college entrance examination choices.

"Do you still want to take the exam for targeted students?" The head teacher only asked this question.

He knew that Lin Feng wanted to take the targeted student exam in order to save money for his family. Now that his father has passed away, he wondered if his thoughts would change.

Targeted students apply for admission in advance. If they still have this intention, they need to make preparations early and sign a contract with the local government.

However, with such good grades, it is a pity that he only studies for an undergraduate degree and then comes back to work.

"I won't take the exam anymore. I want to apply to a medical university. Teacher, don't worry, I will take the postgraduate entrance examination." Lin Feng answered firmly.

The head teacher nodded with satisfaction, "Since you have your own plan, then go back and study hard. I will wait for your admission letter."
