Chapter 25: Sickness

Within two days, Chen Xiufang took a long-distance bus from Jinshan County to Anxi City. She saw Zhao Qingsong, who came to pick her up at the bus station, his eyes were dark, his face was tired, and she couldn't help but feel sorry for her son.

Zhao Qingsong stepped forward, took the travel bag from Chen Xiufang's hand, and said, "Mom, your speed is quite fast." ”

Chen Xiufang said lovingly: "If I don't come soon, I'm afraid you will be too tired to get up." ”

Zhao Qingsong yawned and said with a smile: "Where is it so serious as you say? I have been a soldier for a few years and have undergone hard training. ”

Chen Xiufang said with a smile: "From today onwards, I will take all the responsibility of taking care of Xiaohong and Longlong, and completely liberate you." You can do your job with peace of mind. ”

Zhao Qingsong said happily: "It's better to be a mother." ”

Chen Xiufang entered her son's house, heard the baby's cry from the bedroom, quickly put down the small bag in her hand, and entered the bedroom to visit her daughter-in-law and little grandson.

She was stunned by the sight in front of her:

Niu Yuehong leaned weakly on the quilt, her hair was scattered, her eyes were glazed, and she shouted at the crying baby: "You killed me! I can't go to work! I can't broadcast! Get out of here!"

Zhao Qingsong was just about to step forward to dissuade him, but Niu Yuehong actually grabbed a bowl of food on the bedside table and threw it at Zhao Qingsong......

After all, Chen Xiufang is old and has experienced a lot of things, as a person who has come over, she can see at a glance that her daughter-in-law Niu Yuehong has the legendary "confinement" disease. Xiao Chang, a salesman in the People's Mall, also suffered from this disease, shouting all day long to strangle the child, turning the whole family upside down and not having peace.

In fact, the so-called "confinement trouble" is postpartum depression, but people at that time did not understand it. At that time, there was no effective medicine to treat it, and it would slowly improve when I went out to exercise more and spent more time in the sun.

Chen Xiufang walked to Niu Yuehong's side and said softly, "Xiaohong, I'm here to help you." ”

Niu Yuehong stared at Chen Xiufang with hostile eyes for a long time, as if she recognized her, and said vaguely: "Mom, when did you come?"

Chen Xiufang said: "I just arrived. ”

Niu Yuehong said bitterly: "I'm too irritable in my heart. I don't even want to live. ”

Chen Xiufang comforted: "You have to endure the irritability." Many people will be so uncomfortable after giving birth, but endure it and it will pass. ”

Niu Yuehong didn't say anything more, and pulled the pillow towel over her face.

Chen Xiufang saw that Niu Xinfang was a little calmer, so she gently exited the bedroom, took off her coat a few times, went into the kitchen to tie her apron, washed her hands, and began to prepare dinner.

Because Niu Yuehong didn't eat well, she naturally didn't have much milk to feed her children. Long Long was often in a state of hunger, so he cried loudly.

Chen Xiufang asked Zhao Qingsong to queue up early every morning to buy milk. I boiled the milk in a small pot, put it at a suitable temperature, and then poured it into a glass bottle filled with cough syrup, added finely ground white sugar, and carefully fed it to my grandson.

Long Long had a full stomach and soon went to sleep.

There were no children's cries, and the room was naturally much quieter. Niu Yuehong's mood is also a little better.

Chen Xiufang changes her tricks every day to make some delicate side dishes, so that she can coax Niu Yuehong to eat a little. She knew where Niu Yuehong's pain points were, so she said with the medicine: "You don't eat, you don't have energy, will you not do work in the future?"

Niu Yuehong's mood improved and her mood stabilized a lot, seeing that Chen Xiufang cared so much about her body and career, she was also very cooperative to eat as much as possible.

As long as there is sun in the sky, Chen Xiufang will let Niu Yuehong sit on the sofa next to the window to bask in the sun.

Under Chen Xiufang's careful care, Niu Yuehong's condition gradually improved, and a smile began to appear on her face. Long Long is getting more and more cute day by day, looking around with his little eyes open, and he will smile at his grandmother.

With his mother's full support, Zhao Qingsong's mood was much more relaxed, and his face gradually returned to normal.

During this period, Niu Fushou, Zhang Guilan and his wife, Niu Xinguo, Fang Lin and his wife, Niu Xinjiang and his girlfriend Zhou Meili all came to visit Niu Yuehong's mother and son, and together they enlightened Niu Yuehong to relax their minds, and they were also very satisfied with Chen Xiufang's careful care.

Niu Fushou saw that the room was full of blankets, washing machines and other items, and asked his son-in-law curiously: "Qingsong, why do you buy so many blankets? One washing machine is enough, why do you need to buy two?"

Zhao Qingsong told his father-in-law with a smile: "A while ago, there was a legend in the society that the price of goods was going to rise sharply. These things were snapped up by Xiaofang and I from the mall. It doesn't matter if you have more, keep it for the future and use it slowly. ”

Niu Fushou couldn't understand the way people in the city lived, so he shook his head helplessly and didn't say anything more.

Every night, when it comes to the broadcast time of CCTV's "News Network" and Anxi TV's "Anxi News", Niu Yuehong must immediately put down whatever she has at hand and turn on the TV on time to watch.

Chen Xiufang dissuaded her and said: "Xiaohong, you can't read books or watch TV during the confinement. If you see too much, it will hurt your eyes, and it will be difficult for your eyes to make it when you get old. You should take good care of it now, and when you get better, you can do everything smoothly. ”

Niu Yuehong couldn't listen to her mother-in-law's advice anymore, and her eyes were staring intently at the TV screen. Only at this time was she in good spirits, her eyes shining brightly, and her mouth was still whispering something.

Chen Xiufang started as a salesman in the past, and after her own hard work, she has successively served as a team leader, director of the department store, deputy manager of the shopping mall, and finally became the general manager.

It looks like the dragon dragon is about to be full moon in a few days.

At noon one day, Niu Yuehong suddenly coldly proposed to Chen Xiufang and Zhao Qingsong, who were busy making lunch: "I want to go to the TV station in the afternoon." ”

Chen Xiufang and Zhao Qingsong were frightened when they heard this. They bitterly persuaded Niu Yuehong: "Be obedient, you will persist for another three or four days, and then go to work after the confinement." If the body is cold, you will fall into confinement disease, and you will not be able to cure it for the rest of your life. By that time, it's too late for you to regret it. ”

Without waiting for Chen Xiufang's mother and son to finish speaking, Niu Yuehong's face changed abruptly, and she reached out and grabbed the baby bottle on the bedside table and smashed it towards Zhao Qingsong's body.

Chen Xiufang and Zhao Qingsong saw that they couldn't resist Niu Yuehong, so they had to raise their hands to surrender and obediently agreed to her request.

After lunch, Zhao Qingsong wrapped Niu Yuehong tightly in three layers with a big scarf, put on a white mask, took it to the bus station, and put it on the No. 7 bus bound for the vicinity of Anxi TV Station.

Niu Yuehong returned to the TV station where she had been thinking about it for a long time, and she had mixed feelings in her heart. The unit she hadn't seen for more than 20 days was both intimate and strange in her eyes. Little did she know that this day would be another turn in her fate. In the days that followed, she occasionally recalled the dramatic events of the day and the changes in her own fate, firmly believing that all this was not accident and luck, but the reward of her tireless efforts. "I deserve it. She said this to herself, and proudly to the "Three Musketeers".

Niu Yuehong's sudden arrival made the leaders and colleagues of the TV station stunned: others have to take a few more days off after their maternity leave is over, and her child doesn't seem to be full yet, what are you doing when she goes to the unit?

Niu Yuehong took off the mask on her face, nodded to everyone with a smile and said hello, and walked straight into the announcer's office.

Ding Yan was the only one in the office. He was posting the recent newscaster duty schedule on the wall, and when he heard the footsteps, he turned his head to see who was coming, and he saw Niu Yuehong, who was wearing a thick cotton coat with a woolen bandana on his head.

Niu Yuehong smiled and told Ding Yan, who was stunned: "Teacher Ding, don't be nervous. I miss you so much, I just want to come back and have a look. ”

Ding Yan nodded as if he didn't understand, and asked curiously, "Little Niu, your maternity leave hasn't been taken yet, right?"

Niu Yuehong nodded and said, "There are still a few days left." ”

Ding Yan persuaded with concern: "Lesbians are particularly physically demanding when giving birth, so they must take good care of them during confinement." You have to take care of your body. ”

Niu Yuehong meekly agreed, and walked over to look at the announcer's duty schedule on the wall:

Monday-Wednesday, Ding Yan, Chunyan.

Thursday – Sunday, East, Arran.

Ding Yan, Chunyan, Dongfang, Yalan, as well as Xiaoyue and Du Juan, who broadcast special topics, all have such foreign and atmospheric names!

Niu Yuehong's heart couldn't help but be envious. She turned her head to Ding Yan and said, "Teacher Ding, the name Niu Yuehong is too earthy. I've got to change it to a nice name. Niu Hong, it's too earthy. What about the moon red, no, it's still too earthy. ”

Ding Yan was in a hurry to join the editorial board of the TV station, and after seeing Niu Yuehong's very serious appearance, he couldn't help but smile and leave first.

Niu Yuehong sat alone in the office and wondered, what kind of broadcast name should she choose? She looked up and suddenly saw Yueyuehong on the windowsill, stood up and stretched out her head to observe, and found that a bunch of flower bones emerged from the lush oval leaves, white and red, red and white, which made her heart pound and her heart rippled: poor Yueyuehong was finally about to bloom, and good days would definitely come.

Ding Yan returned to the office after the editorial board meeting, and the time was almost 6 o'clock in the afternoon.

This day is the day of the Sixth Congress of the Anxi City Committee of the Communist Party of China. The TV station paid special attention to it, not only sending experienced editors and reporters to interview, but also specially arranging the news program of the day for Ding Yan and Chunyan anchors.

Seeing that the time for broadcast recording was approaching, the TV station couldn't see Chunyan's shadow. Ding Yan anxiously looked around the office, except for Niu Yuehong, who insisted on staying to observe and study, the other announcers had already left after work.

What can I do about this? Ding Yan was as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

At this moment, the phone on the desk rang.

Ding Yan rushed over with an arrow and hurriedly grabbed the phone. "What? Chunyan has undergone surgery for acute appendicitis?"

He couldn't believe his ears and slumped back in his chair. Chunyan is hospitalized, who will save the emergency news? What should I do? What can I do? Ding Yan secretly complained in his heart.

At that time, telephones were still a luxury, and telephones were installed only in the homes of leading cadres of a considerable rank, and were not available in the homes of ordinary people.

Ding Yan pondered: Now it's time to let Yalan come to the emergency, but Yalan doesn't have a phone at home, so she can't be notified! Xiaoyue's father is the secretary general of the municipal party committee, and there is a phone at home, but her broadcast is soft and delicate, and she is absolutely not suitable for broadcasting party and government news.

Niu Yuehong saw Ding Yan's burning eyebrows, like a hungry cheetah in the wasteland suddenly discovering its prey, and keenly realized that her opportunity had come.

She tried her best to soothe the excitement in her heart, and mustered up the courage to say to Ding Yan: "Teacher Ding, how about I broadcast with you?"

"You?" Ding Yan looked directly at Niu Yuehong in front of him.

Yes, her voice is crisp, high, resolute and powerful, which is perfect for current political news. Moreover, she has been working at the TV station for a year, and she also meets the relevant regulations of the station.

Ding Yan immediately picked up the phone and reported to Director Sun and Director Huang.

After receiving the affirmative reply from the leaders, Ding Yan and Niu Yuehong immediately devoted themselves to the intense preparations.

At 6 o'clock in the afternoon, Niu Yuehong and Ding Yan walked side by side through the long corridor and walked into the news studio that had been separated for more than 20 days.

The words "Recording" on the door frame of the studio lit up.

Niu Yuehong sat straight on the broadcast seat, her expression was calm and resolute, but she had mixed feelings in her heart, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching gently. At this moment, she finally regained her long-lost self-confidence and self-worth in the broadcast seat.

She suddenly found that Director Sun and Director Huang were also sitting in the operation room, staring intently at the monitor in front of her.

With Ding Yan's deep "start" announcement, the technicians in the studio turned on all the top lights and surface lights.

Niu Yuehong wore a red suit, pink shirt, short ear-length hair, with a charming smile, firm confidence, and full of energy, appearing on the TV screen with a new look.

Her image is bright, calm, atmospheric, and just, no less than any female anchor of CCTV's "News Network".

Niu Yuehong smiled and looked at the prompter in front of her.

The prompter shows the introduction of the headline: Liu Zhenbang, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, made a work report at the Sixth Congress of the Anxi Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China.

Liu Hong!

Niu Yuehong had a sudden inspiration, and the name "Liu Hong" flashed in her mind. Liu Hong, Liu Hong, Liuda Shun! Great, just use this broadcast name.

Niu Yuehong: "Ladies and gentlemen, good evening. Today is October 26th. ”

Ding Yan: "Good evening, audience friends! Welcome to "Anxi News". ”

Niu Yuehong: "I'm Liu Hong." ”

Ding Yan was stunned for a moment when he heard the new name that suddenly popped out of Niu Yuehong's mouth, but his years of experience quickly made him not surprised: "I'm Ding Yan." First of all, I would like to introduce you to the main content of this program......"

Liu Hong and Ding Yan's voices and smiles were transmitted to thousands of households in Anxi City through radio waves.
