Chapter 3 Love at First Sight
Chen Xiaoyan deliberately dressed herself up this day, she chose a pink dress to wear on her body, and her slender legs were matched with a pair of stockings, her posture was beautiful and charming like a dancer. She knew that her mother was going to Lei Yusheng's house today to propose marriage, and she would go to his house for dinner at noon, which means that her marriage with Lei Yusheng would be decided today. She was happily dressed up in her heart, humming an affectionate "Kangding Love Song".
She was eager to see the lover in her heart, and ran to Lei Yusheng's house alone early in the morning. As soon as she arrived at Lei Yusheng's door, she saw him come out of the house, her eyes lit up, as if she saw a shining jewel, she fluttered forward, and almost crashed into Lei Yusheng's arms.
"Brother Yusheng. Are you going out?" she asked excitedly and shyly. "Oh. Aren't you going to work?" Lei Yusheng suddenly found a blooming peach blossom tree, he looked at her in surprise and said, "I went to the Food Supervision Bureau to see if the test results have been obtained?"
Chen Xiaoyan didn't know that something had happened in the restaurant last night, so she asked, "I'm taking leave today, so what are you doing there?" Lei Yusheng was about to answer, Xu Huizhen came out of the house, her face was melancholy, and she seemed to be much older overnight. "Xiaoyan!" she said with some surprise: "I have already called your parents, and the marriage between you and Yusheng will be postponed for a few days!"
"Well, why is that? I'm on leave!" Chen Xiaoyan said embarrassedly. Xu Huizhen looked at her son and said to Chen Xiaoyan: "Don't you know? Something happened in our family, and after this matter is dealt with, we will set a time for your parents again." "Is something wrong? Tell me quickly!" Chen Xiaoyan said in surprise.
Lei Yusheng stood beside him a little anxiously, he wasn't listening to the conversation between his mother and Chen Xiaoyan at all, he was thinking about the poisoning of customers. Xu Huizhen took Chen Xiaoyan's hand and said, "Xiaoyan." You can accompany me to the hospital! I'll tell you on the way. If you don't hurry up and do your business, you will come to the hospital when you get the test results, and Xiaoyan and I will wait for you there. ”
"Oh. Then I'm gone. After Lei Yusheng finished speaking, he turned around and left, he didn't even look at Chen Xiaoyan, his indifference made her very unhappy, and her beautiful face suddenly became like a blank piece of paper.
On the way to the hospital, Xu Huizhen told Chen Xiaoyan what happened last night, and Chen Xiaoyan was very surprised and sad, and said: "There is such a big thing, why didn't Yusheng tell me in time." I'm going to help you and share a little bit of the difficulties for you!" Xu Huizhen was very moved when she heard this, she felt that the girl in front of her was her daughter-in-law, and their family would be satisfied, but thinking that her son didn't seem to have any feelings for her, this made Xu Huizhen feel a little sad.
When she arrived at the hospital, Xu Huizhen was immediately surrounded by the patient's family members, who were shouting for her to immediately compensate them for their losses. Xu Huizhen anxiously explained to them that some people even offered her a sum of money as collateral for them and the living expenses of these people.
Xu Huizhen listened to the shouts of these people, and her face was pale with anger and she was helpless. Because of the conditions put forward by the families of these patients, she could not do it even if she was bankrupt. The restaurant has only been open for less than half a year, and there is not much left except for staff salaries and other expenses every month.
When she was in a dilemma, the director of the hospital came over with several doctors and loudly reprimanded those who were shouting, and only then did she relieve her of the danger. Then he said to Xu Huizhen, "You come with me!" He led her to the dean's room, and when he saw that Chen Xiaoyan was also following behind, he asked, "Sister Huizhen." Is this beautiful girl your daughter?"
It turned out that this middle-aged man with a red face not only knew Xu Huizhen, but also had a little friendship. "Oh. Dean Wei. She is Yusheng's girlfriend. Xiaoyan. Call Uncle Wei. Chen Xiaoyan screamed happily. She was glad that Hui Huizhen introduced herself to the dean in this way.
"Then sit down first and listen to me tell you about the patient's situation!" Dean Wei kept staring at Chen Xiaoyan and said, "That's right, after the sampling and testing of our team's poisoned patients, the result is staphylococcal food poisoning, which is an acute disease caused by eating food contaminated with Staphylococcus aureus and the enterotoxins it produces. The common foods that cause staphylobacteric food poisoning are mainly starches (such as leftovers, porridge, rice noodles, etc.), milk and dairy products, fish, eggs, etc., when the contaminated food is left at room temperature of 20~22 °C for more than 5 hours, the pathogen multiplies and produces enterotoxin, which is very heat-resistant, and can still maintain its virulence and cause disease after heating and boiling for 30 minutes.
The incubation period of this disease is only 2~5 hours, and rarely exceeds 6 hours. Onset is abrupt with nausea, vomiting, crampy pain in the mid-upper abdomen, followed by diarrhoea. Vomiting is the most prominent, vomit can be bile, mucus and blood, diarrhea is watery or loose stools, ranging from several to dozens of times a day, severe cases can cause dehydration, collapse and muscle spasms due to severe vomiting and diarrhea. The body temperature is mostly normal or slightly high, and the vast majority of patients recover quickly within a few hours or 1~2 hours. ”
Xu Huizhen was surprised when she heard this, and said, "Old Wei." She has always called Dean Wei like this, "Our food is bought on the same day, cleaned on the same day before cooking? What kind of food is contaminated?" Dean Wei was about to answer, Lei Yusheng hurriedly walked in and said, "Mom." Oh Uncle Wei. The Food Supervision Bureau and the Health Bureau have already tested it, and there is a problem with the fish you bought!"
"It's a fish? Oh, how can that fish be poisonous!" Xu Huizhen said in surprise: "What I bought is all fresh fish, not dead fish." Dean Wei said, "Oh. It's not surprising that our hospital only tests the patient's excrement to find out the cause of poisoning, and if you buy back fish that eats some contaminants, such as contaminated water or food, a lot of germs will remain in their flesh and blood. You can't kill these germs even if you cook them at high temperatures!"
Now that the truth is revealed, Xu Huizhen's heart is relieved, "It turns out that live fish are also poisonous! Who will dare to eat fish in the future?" Chen Xiaoyan asked: "Auntie, where did you buy the fish, you should find the fish boss and let him take responsibility for this incident." ”
Lei Yusheng nodded and said, "Xiaoyan is right. There is also news that the government is preparing to set up an investigation team consisting of the Food Surveillance Agency, the Health Department and the Environmental Protection Agency. I'm in charge of the investigation of this poisoning incident! Tell me where you bought your fish?" Xu Huizhen said, "It was delivered to the store by a young man named Mei Bao, and he has to deliver it every day, oh." His fishing ground is at Fangsheng Dam, more than a dozen miles away. ”
"I know this place. Mother. I'll go there right away and find this man named Mabel. Lei Yusheng said urgently. Chen Xiaoyan thought for a while and said to him, "Then I'll go with you! If you encounter difficulties, you can help solve them." She really wanted to go to the countryside with Lei Yusheng, so that she could confide in him the emotions hidden in her heart.
But Lei Yusheng said flatly: "I'll just go alone." If you want to help, stay here and help my mother deal with things in the hospital!" Xu Huizhen remembered the noise of the patients' families, so she said, "Yes! There are still some things here, I'm afraid my mother can't be busy!" You have to come back early, don't let Mom worry about you anymore!"
"I know. Lei Yusheng agreed, and then said goodbye to Dean Wei and hurriedly left. Chen Xiaoyan chased to the door and said softly, "Brother Yusheng." You must be careful and come back early!" Lei Yusheng left as if he didn't hear it.
Chen Xiaoyan's heart was a little sour, "Why can't you look at me more?" She grumbled angrily.
The sun was shining warmly on the road in the countryside that day, and Lei Yusheng rode a motorcycle on that small road. Fangshengba was only a dozen miles away from the city, and he arrived at the entrance of the village in ten minutes, but he did not know where the fishmonger named Mei Bao lived. "Hey, old uncle. Where is Mabel's home?" he asked the old man who was enjoying the shade under the big rhubarb fruit tree at the entrance of the village.
"Oh. Turn around and it's his house!" The old man looked at him with a smile and said, "Hey, young man." You're also here for a blind date, right?" Lei Yusheng asked a little blankly after hearing this: "Blind date." What kind of blind date?" the old man came over and looked at him and said, "Hmm. Handsome guy. More handsome than other blind dates. Haha!"
"Uncle. What are you talking about?" asked Lei Yusheng. The old man still smiled and asked, "Hehe, young man, aren't you here for a blind date?" "I'm here to find Mei Bao, what kind of kiss!" Lei Yusheng was about to leave, but the old man stopped in front of his motorcycle and said, "Yo haha! Don't be embarrassed." Mabel's sister is a great beauty, and every day people who come to go on blind dates and propose marriages have to wait in line! You go quickly! Today you are the first man to come to the village!"
Lei Yusheng stepped on the accelerator of the motorcycle a little angrily, and suddenly ran past the old man. "Young man. If you are taken advantage of, don't forget to invite the old man to drink the happy wine!" he heard the old man say behind his back.
"Ha! What kind of girl can be regarded as a great beauty?" Lei Yusheng asked in his heart after hearing this. Mabel's home arrived, and it was a newly renovated courtyard house. There are several peach blossom trees in front of the door, and it is the season when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, and the clusters of peach blossoms surround the whole new house in a sea of flowers. He stopped at the door, and was about to knock on the door, when a gray-haired old man came out of it, and when he saw Lei Yusheng, he shouted into the house: "Hey, wife! Hurry up the tea, another proposer is coming!"
Lei Yusheng was a little embarrassed and asked, "Oh." Old uncle, may I ask if this is Mei Bao's home?" the old man stared at him in surprise and said, "I am his old son, Mei Bao has gone to the city to deliver fish! His eyes glanced into the courtyard, hoping to see the great beauty. But there was only one old woman in the yard, and she smiled and said, "Young man." Come in and sit down. Our daughter Xuejiao will be back soon. ”
"Oh. That beautiful woman's name is Xuejiao, and hearing the name makes people itch physically and mentally!" Lei Yusheng thought with emotion, and walked into the courtyard with the old man. Mei Laohan whispered to his wife: "He doesn't seem to be here to propose!" What a pity. This young man seems to be from the city, and Xuejiao wants to marry a city person!" Aunt Mei said with some disappointment.
Lei Yusheng was watching the scenery in the courtyard, when he was suddenly frightened by a bell-like sound, and his heart jumped suddenly, and the blood in his whole body boiled. It was a girl's hearty laughter, and the sound was like a thrush singing beside him, and it was refreshing to listen to. "Oh. Xue Jiao is back!" said Mei Laohan.
"Dad. Mother. Look, I picked up a beautiful bird. The thrush-like voice came into Lei Yusheng's ears, and he hurriedly looked at the gate of the courtyard, and was immediately surprised by the face and posture of Mei Xuejiao in front of him, and even his whole body and mind seemed to be attracted by her appearance, and pasted on her body like a peach blossom.
