Waking up in the morning, I found an unidentified pile of poop on the toilet seat. At first, I suspected it was Huanhuan’s grandpa, but then I learned he had gone outside to use the restroom. So I told Huanhuan I suspected it was her dad, only for her to confess that she had gotten up to use the toilet earlier. While doing her business, she had shifted her butt to the floor to wipe, unknowingly leaving some on the mat. Huanhuan’s grandpa must have noticed but didn’t know how to handle it, so he decided to go outside instead. ...

Because we stayed out late yesterday, I slept in this morning. By the time I got up and got ready, it was almost 11 o’clock. Big Huang fried some eggs for us, and I ate a big, hearty bowl. Fully prepared, we headed to IKEA—this was my first time visiting IKEA with Little Huanhuan. We ended up with quite a haul; a cozy room doesn’t actually need to be all that complicated or troublesome. ...

Today, Huanhuan took annual leave to come to Kunming for a follow-up check-up. I rode a shared e-scooter to the hospital to pick her up, timing it to arrive shortly before her train. After meeting her, we took a taxi back to our place to drop off our bags. On our way out, we noticed many unusually large carp and goldfish in the river by the entrance, so we grabbed the net we used for catching crayfish and decided to try our luck at fishing. After having rice noodles with Fangfang, we returned to the river only to find the water had suddenly turned murky, and the fish seemed to have been washed away. We walked along the riverbank and, sure enough, spotted the fish being carried along by the current not too far away. ...

Another day wasted today, always looking for something to numb myself. After sending Huanhuan off at noon and returning to the rental room, I ended up playing games with Feige all afternoon, couldn’t win no matter what, but it didn’t really matter anyway.

This morning, I received a call about the express delivery of my ID card. I thought it hadn’t started shipping yet, but unexpectedly, it had already arrived. I quickly washed my face in a hurry and went to pick it up. Now, a new issue has come up: when applying for a credit card, the system still requires identity verification, and the CSC system still has my old ID number. ...

This morning, after having breakfast, I went to work overtime with Huanhuan. I checked into a hotel nearby, planning to prepare some materials in the room. However, I ended up just gathering some information on my phone and lying in bed for a while. After Huanhuan finished her overtime, we chatted for a bit, and then her parents called us back for dinner. After eating, we went to the hospital to visit Fengxian, who is about to give birth. We originally wanted to buy flowers, but since it was quite late, we checked two shops but couldn’t find any. ...

This morning, my older brother called me and asked me to take my mom to the hospital for a follow-up check-up since they had something to do in Liuzhi. Coincidentally, Huanhuan also had to work overtime today. After we had breakfast, I dropped her off at her workplace, and we went our separate ways. My mom had breakfast with me, and afterward, I took her to the hospital for an ultrasound. The results were quite good—there was no further growth or enlargement. When we arrived at the doctor’s office, we could hear a patient arguing with the doctor, who was recommending surgery. ...
