Chapter 9: Trepidation
Big dishes, forming cuisines, not to mention the frontier, the entire northwest is not good, but in terms of snacks, the frontier is not inferior to any place. The diversity of ethnic groups makes the food rich and colorful.
Xibe people, their hometown was originally in the northeast, but after coming to the frontier, combined with the food characteristics of the frontier, they also have their own special snacks, although they are not as famous as naan pit meat and cut cakes, but they also have a unique flavor.
The old lady knows that making pasta is definitely not as delicious as Zhang Fan's mother, so with the arrival of Zhang Fan's parents, the old lady's cooking has also developed towards special aspects.
"Come and try it, I learned it from Mrs. Xibe in the community. Shao Hua's mother looked at Zhang Fan expectantly, but as for Shao Hua and her old man, they were ignored by the old lady.
Although Shao Hua has long been accustomed to his mother's preference for Zhang Fan, he is always a little jealous, "Look! look! look! I have no status!"
......
As she spoke, the old lady brought a table of dishes, and in the middle was a large bowl of Xibe's famous dish, Susken.
The old lady looked at Zhang Fan expectantly, and after Zhang Fan took a bite of chopsticks, her eyes lit up instantly.
Zhang Fan's expression is not only clear to Shao Hua, but also to the old lady, this is delicious.
"Hehe, eat more if it's delicious. ”
After the old lady saw Zhang Fan's expression, she was not only happy but also satisfied, isn't the biggest wish of parents to hope that their children eat well!
The sasken and northeastern stews are similar, but in comparison, the sasken has more color and flavor.
The veal is cut into pieces of water, hot pan with cold oil, accompanied by red chili peppers dried in the frontier of the year, and then mixed with potatoes and bell peppers, simmered over low heat, and the taste has been brewing in the pot for a long time.
The color looks very good-looking, and the layering in the mouth is quite obvious, the toughness of the meat, the glutinous sweetness of the potatoes, and then mixed with the chili pepper that has been exposed to the sun for a long time.
A bite of beef is quite rich, and a sip of vegetable-rich beef broth can warm the stomach from the mouth.
Chat while eating. "Uncle, I heard Shao Hua say that you used to drive Kangmai Ying (a large harvester in the early Soviet Union)"
"Well, haha, it's been a long time, and there was no Shao Hua at that time. ”
Seeing the old man go down with a glass of wine and was about to pull out the chatterbox, Zhang Fan hurriedly said, "Do you have a driver's license?"
"Yes!~ Why not, there were only three people on the farm back then, and I was one!"
"That's amazing, I'll look at your driver's license. Zhang Fan said by the way.
"I'll find it for you!" the old man put down his chopsticks and went to the bedroom.
Shao Hua bit her chopsticks and glanced at Zhang Fan, she was still relieved about the artistry of Zhang Fan's words.
The old man took out a driver's license after a while, and Zhang Fan flipped it over, "Uncle, this is your driver's license for an agricultural transport vehicle, and it hasn't been verified for many years, so it is estimated that it is invalid." ”
"Oh!" the old man took it and looked at it carefully, as if he was recalling the green years of the past.
"Uncle, have you been busy lately. Zhang Fan asked knowingly.
"Idle, what are you going to do, you say. The old man put down his driver's license, which had long since expired, and gently placed it in a dry place at hand.
"I know someone from the driving school, I'll sign you up tomorrow, and you can get another driver's license. ”
"What a waste of money. ”
"After this, I guess it will get busier and busier, and when Shao Hua and I have children, I will have to entrust you with things like picking up and dropping off children. I'm afraid you don't want to!"
"How could I not want to, my own grandson, how could I not want to!"
Shao Hua's face was red, and although he didn't speak, he still quietly pinched Zhang Fan's thigh.
"Anyway, tomorrow you're going to learn your driver's license! ”
"Impossible!"
"Uh!" Shao Hua's mother immediately looked at Shao Hua. As soon as the old lady looked at Shao Hua's appearance, she knew that Shao Hua had discussed this matter with Zhang Fan.
......
After eating, Zhang Fan and Shao Hua went out for a walk, originally Shao Hua was going to wash the pot, but was pushed out by Shao Hua's wife: "Go and walk a few steps with Zhang Fan, he is in the hospital all day, and he doesn't exercise much." ”
After Shao Hua and Zhang Fan went out, the old lady said to the old man: "What's going on! Hurry up and help me wash the pot." ”
"What a big pot, two people need to wash it. Although he muttered, he still came to the kitchen.
"Do you see it, Zhang Fan cares about us. ”
"How?"
"He took the excuse of picking up the child......"
......
"Family is like this, sometimes you still have to pay attention to a little way and method, and you can't do a bad thing with good intentions. ”
Zhang Fan took Shao Hua for a walk, showing off while walking.
"Well, the skin is getting thicker and thicker!" Shao Hua said Zhang Fan, and he said that he would have children in the future.
"Where is it thick, I'll touch it!"
"Nasty!"
......
After a tired day, Zhang Fan went to bed, and after performing an operation in the system, he directly entered the coma stage, without hesitation at all, he could eat and sleep quickly, and it was really good to be young.
In the middle of the night, Zhang Fan's phone rang. After taking a walk, because it was a little late, Zhang Fan didn't come back, and slept directly on Shao Hua's side, and the old lady cleaned up the study room that was left for Zhang Fan.
When he opened his eyes, Zhang Fan rolled over and wiped the corners of his eyes, and when the phone rang, Zhang Fan's brain was awake, but his eyes were so sour that he couldn't open them.
didn't even look at the number, Zhang Fan connected directly, and it was definitely from the hospital in the middle of the night, so there was no need to hesitate at all.
Because since Zhang Fan became the assistant to the director of the hospital, his number has been filed with the mobile company, and harassing calls basically cannot come in.
"Zhang Fan, I'm Li Hui, my wife is about to give birth, and my stomach hurts so much, come quickly!"
As soon as the phone was connected, Li Hui's crying voice came out.
"Don't worry, where are you now?"
"No, I'm still at home, my hands are shaking so much!"
"Okay, wait for me!" Zhang Fan hung up the phone and began to get dressed. In Zhang Fan's free time, Shao Hua also got up.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Fan stopped sleeping here for a while, Shao Hua was not used to it, and the sound of the phone in the middle of the night woke her up.
"It's okay, Li Hui's wife is probably going to give birth. Leave it alone, go to bed!"
"Why don't I go check it out too, after all, he has a good relationship with you!"
Shao Hua said.
"Okay, let's go!" Zhang Fan looked at Shao Hua, thought for a moment and said.
Women, sooner or later they will have to face this hurdle, and Zhang Fan also wants Shao Hua to see and understand in advance.
Before marriage, Li Hui was not a playboy, but he could still be called a butterfly.
But after marriage, the young man has completely changed, which can be described as a man in the Gu family. I don't know if Li Hui has played enough, or if the female teacher is good at training, anyway, Li Hui seems to have grown up overnight.
Maybe this is fate, Wang Sha has been training for seven years, and when they are about to succeed, their relationship is over, and the female teacher and Li Hui have known each other for a few months, and they feel the love of mature men, really, this is fate.
Zhang Fan took Shao Hua downstairs, although Shao Hua had never experienced such a thing as an emergency in the middle of the night, he was not ignorant at all, and it was very neat to change clothes and go downstairs.
"Why don't you go to the hospital?" After getting in the car, Shao Hua found that Zhang Fan was not driving in the direction of the hospital, so he asked curiously.
"Hey, I can't say, Li Hui estimates that there is no rule now, and when he called me, he said that he was weak and his hands were shaking badly. ”
"Uh! How can this be, will you do the same in the future?"
"Don't worry, even if you are at home, I can give you a baby!
In the city in the middle of the night, even the taxis got up, and Zhang Fan's car drove fast. It didn't take a few minutes for Zhang Fan to arrive at Li Hui's house.
Life is not easy, and it is even more difficult to be a person. Giving birth to a child is not something that can be achieved overnight, but it is a slow process like an elderly person going down the stairs.
Li Hui is a doctor in the respiratory department, to be honest, when he was transferred to the obstetrics department, because he was eye-to-eye with the little nurse, he was not liked by the teaching of obstetrics and gynecology, and Li Hui was also a passing scene in the obstetrics department, so he did not really experience what the torment of motherhood was.
When his wife saw that she was red and the contractions began to be frequent, as his wife moaned in pain, sweated profusely, and even pleaded, Li Hui directly lost his proportions.
Seeing his wife's painful appearance, seeing that her wife was in pain as if she was about to reach the extreme, Li Hui was anxious, and did not call his brother-in-law, but called Zhang Fan as soon as possible.
His wife's due date was originally a week away, probably because of the advanced maternal age, the child was about to come a week early, and Li Hui's mother-in-law at home had not yet come.
After getting out of the car, Zhang Fan and Shao Hua took three steps and two steps to Li Hui's door, and before they knocked on the door, they heard the screams of the women in the room.
"Oh my God, it hurts me, ah!"
It's definitely screaming, and those who don't know think it's Li Hui's domestic violence.
"Open the door!" Zhang Fan couldn't care about the neighbor next door. Loud slamming of doors and shouting alarmed the lights of the entire building, but no one came out to take a look.
Li Hui opened the door very quickly, and when he opened the door, Li Hui's face turned pale and pale, "Zhang Fan, look at it, my wife hurts so much!"
"Send it to the hospital, what are you inking!" Zhang Fan said to Li Hui angrily as he entered.
"She hurts so badly, when I touch it, I feel that her pain is even worse, and her face is no longer bloody! Don't let me touch her!" After seeing Zhang Fan, Li Hui almost cried, as if he had been wronged in the kindergarten and finally met his parents.
"You be an egg doctor!" Looking at Li Hui's appearance, Zhang Fan was angry.
The contractions of the mother are like the ebb and flow of the sea, not one wave after another, but in stages.
When Zhang Fan entered the living room, he saw a big belly lying on the sofa. At this time, the peak of pain is estimated to have passed.
The woman was sweating, her face and lips did not have a trace of blood, and when she saw Zhang Fan, she still reluctantly showed a very, very sad smile.
"Zhang Yuan, don't scold him, he is about to cry when he is worried. I said I'm fine, he had to call you, to my brothers, but he didn't.
Shao Hua is also here, I'm really sorry, I'm sorry to trouble you. ”
"It's okay, it's okay!" Shao Hua looked at the weakened pregnant woman, her heart was flustered, she didn't expect that the mother was in such a state before she went into labor.
"Hey!" The world is big, and the big belly has the biggest face, and Zhang Fan didn't count Li Hui again, "How do you feel now?"
"It's going to be much better, it doesn't hurt as much as it did before. ”
After the big belly finished speaking, Zhang Fan turned his head and asked, "Is the ward booked?"
"It's booked! It's booked!" Zhang Fan came, and Li Hui felt that he had strength in his body.
After all, it is his friend's wife, and when he looks at the other party's state again, it is estimated that it is not yet when the palace entrance is fully opened, and it is inconvenient for Zhang Fan to check her, so he turned his head and asked Li Hui.
"Then hurry up and send you to the hospital. Are all the prenatal things ready? ”
"Ready! ”
"Towels, paper towels, bath towels, it's best to find a big bath towel, children's clothes, feeding bottles, milk powder, all bring them. Zhang Fan said while Li Hui cleaned up.
Li Hui, who was in a hurry, Shao Hua couldn't see it, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help, "Thank you, it's a big night, so you don't have a good rest." ”
"Okay! There's still the time to speak, and I'm going to have contractions again soon, a little sharper. ”
Hey! Being scolded by Zhang Fan like this, Li Hui felt a little calm.
"Carry your daughter-in-law downstairs, you can't do it, I will hug it. After packing up the things, Shao Hua helped to carry a lot, and after Zhang Fan took most of them from Shao Hua, he looked at Li Hui's state.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm going to have energy!" Lai Pizi was gone, and the young man who had jumped out was gone, but a worried husband and a worried father.
Zhang Fan carried things and helped Li Hui carry his daughter-in-law downstairs, and Shao Hua opened Zhang Fan's car door early.
"Why don't you sit on our handlebars, I'm ...... Don't get your car dirty. Li Hui's wife whispered to Zhang Fan.
"It's okay! You don't have to worry about it! ”
got in the car, Zhang Fan drove all the way to the hospital.
I can't help Li Hui not be nervous, when he was pregnant, the child was almost gone, and his wife is an advanced maternal age, this time the due date has been advanced again, and the baby really has no rules.
Although as Zhang Fan's status in the hospital became higher and higher, Li Hui rarely went to Zhang Fan on weekdays, but, in his heart, at the critical moment, Zhang Fan jumped out of his mind.
And Li Hui's wife also attaches great importance to her husband's friend, and she is afraid that Zhang Fan will have any opinions on Li Hui, so she pays special attention to it.
Luck is also good, when Zhang Fan and the others just entered the obstetrics, Li Hui's wife's second wave of contractions began.
He groaned in extreme pain, and his hand holding Li Hui was about to be scratched by his wife.
"Zhang Fan, Zhang Fan!" Li Hui looked at Zhang Fan pitifully.
Obstetrics and gynecology, especially the obstetrics and gynecology department of the most powerful hospital in a region, to be honest, not to mention doctors, even nurses, are very popular.
Although Li Hui is a doctor in the same hospital, his treatment is slightly better than that of ordinary patients.
Seeing his wife's painful moans and his wife's painful writhing, Li Hui's heart was broken.
"Hey!" Just when Zhang Fan took out the phone and was about to call the director of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, the director and deputy director of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, as well as two attending doctors, came!
