Chapter 58: 58: The Focus of Discussion
"It's rare enough to see twins, but to encounter triplets today! Indeed, it's quite miraculous."
For a moment, everyone's faces were filled with astonishment.
It's believed that wherever these triplets go, they'll surely become the center of everyone's attention!
Everyone was profoundly moved by Han Xuewei's greatness. It must not be easy being the mother of triplets!
Those who were initially babbling nonsense had completely forgotten that they were just joking about their large family!
As for Lin Yi, he was just holding and soothing the baby, not caring at all about what the people around him were saying.
That's life, as long as you take care of your own, that's enough; the rest doesn't matter!
"Treasure Body had some milk before coming out, so why is he suddenly crying? Could it be that he is hungry again?" Lin Yi's mother asked anxiously as she watched her well-behaved grandson crying so loudly.
Han Xuewei said to her, "Mom, today Da Bao had breast milk, but he didn't eat well when I fed him and fell asleep soon after, so he must be crying because he's hungry. Let me try feeding him now."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi's mother quickly looked around and pointed to a room, saying, "Then you should take the baby there, that's the nursing room."
Lin Yi, ready to carry the baby over, said, "Should I accompany you? Because you won't be able to feed the baby when it's time for the vaccination."
Han Xuewei took her daughter and then said, "It's not convenient for you to go, you still have other moms feeding their babies here, I can go by myself."
After hearing this, Lin Yi didn't know what else to say. He had wanted to accompany his wife, but he had overlooked that there were other moms nursing their babies inside!
Lin Yi's mother hurriedly said, "Then I'll go with you, Lin Yi can wait here."
Without another word, Lin Yi's mother promptly took Han Xuewei and the baby and headed towards the room.
Just at that moment, the woman who had registered the three babies happened to pass by and casually asked, "I noticed you didn't have any medical reports in hand when I saw you earlier. The babies are just a month old, do you have their medical reports?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi became anxious, "Do we need medical reports, too? Does vaccination require so many things?"
At that point, Han Xuewei and several elders cast surprised glances at him.
Seeing everyone's stunned expressions, the woman shrugged helplessly and said, "Is this your first time here? You certainly wouldn't know about these things. A medical check-up is indispensable, and if the medical report shows the baby is fine, then they can be vaccinated. That's why many parents have their babies checked in advance at the maternal and child health center.
Didn't the doctor tell you all this?"
At this moment, Lin Yi slapped his forehead, feeling helpless, "I really did forget... But now... we've already queued for such a long time..."
Lin Yi's father hurriedly thanked the staff member, saying, "Thank you so much for reminding us, otherwise we would have wasted so much time here."
The staffer said matter-of-factly, "It's all part of the job, but don't worry. We also have a clinic here where the babies can be checked. You'll just need to queue again and take a number over there!"
Lin Yi looked towards the nursing room not far away and asked, "Our turn is almost up to be called, if we go for the check-up now, will we be able to get back in time to continue with the injection??"
The woman glanced at the long queue and then said, "Let one person stay here in line, and the others can take the baby for the check-up! It's also better to rejoin the line from the end. There are almost 20 babies ahead, and each baby takes about three minutes, so you have an hour."
After thinking for a moment, the staff member continued, "And at this hour, the clinic should be empty, so you'll get the results quickly. However, you can only get a routine examination. If you want a more comprehensive one, you should take the baby to the maternal and child health hospital!"
Lin Yi expressed his gratitude, "Alright, thank you so much. Otherwise, we would have been busy for nothing."
"Given your special circumstances, you can also let the staff inside know in advance that you're taking the baby for a check-up and will be back quickly. When your number is called, they can wait a bit or let the others go first. These are not major issues. However, the one-month check-up for the baby is absolutely essential.
Although our clinic can only give a general check, it's important because some babies are not suited for vaccinations so early on. Discuss this among yourselves, I have to get back to work."
Lin Yi said with an apologetic tone, "I'm really sorry for taking up so much of your time, but thank you!"
The woman replied kindly, "Don't worry, it's part of my job."
After that, she returned to her post.
Lin Yi had been really negligent when he came, forgetting such an important matter.
He wasn't even clear on what the medical check-up for the baby would involve.
But now there was no time to worry about that; he just had to wait patiently for Han Xuewei to finish feeding the baby.
Just then, Lin Yi's father remarked, "I didn't expect that a vaccination for the baby would require a medical check-up. It seems my general knowledge isn't sufficient!"
For their generation, they indeed had little concept of such things; when they were young, not to mention vaccinations, there wasn't even enough milk to drink.
Even Lin Yi, who was raised by his mother while his father was busy with work, had little involvement in other childrearing tasks.
Therefore, Lin Yi's father, lacking in parenting knowledge, naturally didn't know about the medical check-up requirement for a one-month-old baby before vaccination. He had even had to practice for a long time to learn how to hold his grandchild properly, and in Lin Yi's mother's eyes, he was seen as rough and certainly not delicate enough to care for babies.
Lin Yi himself shook his head helplessly, saying, "I was negligent too; the doctor clearly explained it to me."
He felt some regret; although he had a remarkable memory for reading or watching videos, it never occurred to him that he could forget something the doctor said. From now on, he resolved that for anything related to his baby, he would have to switch on his "skill."
Moreover, the one-month medical check-up for the baby was indeed extremely important.
Seeing Lin Yi's self-reproach, Han Xuewei's mother comforted him, "Don't worry, we found out in time, and it's not too late. If needed, we can just go to the maternal and child health hospital. It won't be a hassle, so there's no need to blame yourself."
