If flowers bloom, youth will naturally follow.

Xia Donghai was invited to the township government for tea early in the morning, but of course, the tea wasn't very good.

“Brothers, you have to take the lead in this matter. If you donate, the villagers will all donate. With tens of thousands of people in the township, the money will be enough,” the secretary said with a smile.

If you want to get rich, build roads first. The roads in the village really need to be repaired. Coincidentally, the current leadership is about to expire, and the leaders also need some achievements. So they summoned the prominent figures from each village to the government for tea.

This has always been the pattern of donations, as seen in the example of "Let the Bullets Fly." However, in modern society, these people who care about appearances take the lead in donating, rather than "returning all the money of the wealthy and powerful, and splitting the money of the common people 30/70."

Xia Donghai opened a factory and became the industry leader in the township.

"No doubt about it, this is a good thing, we should donate," everyone chimed in. It was a good thing, on the one hand, it would improve their relationship with the leaders, and on the other hand, it would save face.

The fundraising process went incredibly smoothly; the rest of the time was spent chatting and bragging, and then finding a place to drink and eat when it was time to go.

Xia Donghai's cell phone suddenly rang, and he went outside to answer it—the signal was bad.

After a moment, Xia Donghai returned to his office, looking somewhat nervous: "My child isn't feeling well, so I'm taking him to a big hospital to get him checked out. Leaders, let me know when you figure out how to donate. We can't donate more than others, but we also can't donate less."

Since it concerned his son's health, Xia Donghai didn't waste a moment. Amid everyone's urging, he drove his Santana home in a flash, picked up Xiao Pang and Ma Dongmei, and went straight to Harbin without going to the county.

Here's a side note: This was in 02. Xia Donghai had two great ways to show off: a mobile phone and a Santana. He was a very influential person in the village, and village leaders often borrowed his car when they came to inspect.

Xia Donghai took Xiaopang directly to the Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University, consulted with the triage staff, and registered for a urology specialist appointment. Xiaopang even had the mind to pay attention to the registration fee, which was only one yuan.

Damn it, such a big hospital and a specialist only charges one yuan to see a doctor. What a shady township clinic! Little Fatty cursed inwardly.

The experts at the big hospitals are truly knowledgeable. After asking a few questions, taking a few glances, and doing a quick analysis, they already know the answer: "It can be basically confirmed that your son has intersex conditions."

The family of three didn't understand everything, but they could still make out the word "deformity." Xia Donghai asked, "What kind of deformity? Is it serious?"

"Intersex is a condition that's hard to say how serious it is. It's not fatal, but it has a significant impact on patients. Intersex means that the sex of the child is wrong; your son might not be a son, but a daughter," the doctor said.

Little Fatty was completely stunned. It was as if he had heard the most bizarre fairy tale in the world, and he found what the doctor said utterly ridiculous.

Xia Donghai wasn't much better off. He seemed to have been suddenly hit on the head with a blunt object, his mind went blank, he opened his mouth to say something but didn't know what to say, and he was dumbfounded.

Ma Dongmei directly questioned loudly, "Doctor, are you sure you're not mistaken? He has both a chicken and an egg, how could he not be a son?"

The doctor explained gently, "Biological sex is not determined by external genitalia... um, you mean what you're talking about. However, we cannot yet determine whether your son has true hermaphroditism or pseudohermaphroditism. If he has true hermaphroditism, you can have surgery to remove a set of genital organs and choose to continue as a boy or undergo sex reassignment surgery to become a girl."

"What about a fake one? What will happen if it's fake?" Xia Donghai asked in a hoarse voice, trying to calm himself down.

"If it's fake, you can't choose; you can only be a girl," the doctor said.
