Chapter 14: Burns
When Shu Yuan first arrived in Liaocheng, she refused to go out and refused to speak, and after the intervention of Dr. Xiaofei, the situation improved slightly, and occasionally plucked up the courage to go out, she would go to a middle school, because the innocence of children and the youth of students are good medicine that can heal the pain.
That afternoon, as usual, Shu Yuan went to the hospital to find Dr. Xiaofei for a follow-up visit and walked to No. 1 Middle School, but he fainted before he reached No. 1 Middle School. When she woke up, she was in the husband-and-wife restaurant, and a kind-faced aunt saw that she woke up and hurriedly walked over and touched her forehead: "Fortunately, there is no fever, it should be heat stroke." Little girl, I made you a glass of glucose water, you can drink it quickly to replenish some energy. β
Since her mother passed away, it was the first time she had faced the care of outsiders, and when her aunt touched her forehead just now, she seemed to see Shu Wanqing's shadow, and she spilled out uncontrollably: "Mom." β
Hearing this, Aunt Chen's heart was sour, and she couldn't help hugging Shu Yuan, patting her on the back and comforting: "Good boy." That afternoon, Shu Yuan cried bitterly in a strange place to a stranger.
After that, Shu Yuan's situation gradually improved, and the number of visits to the store became more frequent. The mom-and-pop restaurant didn't have a name at the beginning, because it was opened near No. 1 Middle School, mainly for student business, and the dishes were affordable, so it was called "affordable small restaurant". Uncle Chen lost his voice due to illness, so he was in charge of the chef and spent most of his time in the kitchen. Every time Uncle Chen went to the store, Uncle Chen would make a bowl of sour soup fish for Shu Yuan, Shu Yuan began to be puzzled, Aunt Chen explained that the sour soup fish was their daughter's favorite dish, and she hoped that Shu Yuan would like it too.
Gradually, Shu Yuan also fell in love with this dish, because there was a strong love in it.
On the way here just now, Shu Yuan secretly looked at Gu Yi'an and Xu Yongheng's expressions, and their faces were cold, and they couldn't see anything abnormal. It's just that the environment of the affordable restaurant is not as wide and bright as the general restaurant, and I hope the two gods don't mind.
When Gu Yi'an was militarized by Gu Ting, it was common for him to sleep in the mud and eat wild fruits in the wild, so he didn't pay attention to the issue of the dining environment at this time, not to mention that he completely believed in Shu Yuan's taste, and his mind was now full of how to put aside Xu Yongheng's light bulb.
The restaurant is not far from the hotel, about 15 minutes away. The car had just stopped, and a thick smell of sour soup had wafted out of the store, which hooked up the cravings in Shu Yuan's stomach.
Gu Yi'an is already fond of eating sour things, and although the small restaurant in front of him is smaller, it is still clean.
But Xu Yongheng's face changed, even though he tried hard to suppress it, he still didn't escape Shu Yuan's eyes. Since he was a child, Xu's parents did not allow him to eat outside casually, instilling in him the idea that the things in the small restaurant outside were unhygienic and he would get sick if he ate them, so that when he grew up, Xu Yongheng naturally rejected this kind of small workshop outside.
"Brother Yongheng, don't be reluctant if you don't like it, there is a hotel nearby, why don't we go there to eat." Although the sour soup fish that I have been thinking about is right in front of me, it is still more than ten years of friendship that is important!
Gu Yi'an found the right time and said coldly: "Presumably Mr. Xu is not used to eating food from small restaurants, so let's move to the hotel in front." Shu Yuan, the sour soup fish can only be saved for tonight and then come and eat. β
Shu Yuan was about to respond, but Xu Yongheng spoke, quite a feeling of heroism and righteousness: "Just go to this house, Shu Yuan likes to eat." β
"Little wish!" Aunt Chen recognized it at a glance, and hurriedly put down the account book in her hand and walked over, with a kind of pampering from the elders: "Why haven't you come to the store for a long time, you wait, these two are?"
Shu Yuan hurriedly introduced Aunt Chen and said, "These two are my friends, you can call them Xiao Gu and Xiao Xu." Some time ago, I went back to Sioux City because of something at home, and I suddenly didn't have time to say hello to you, sorry Aunt Chen. β
Aunt Chen waved her hand again and again: "Silly boy, what is there to be sorry for." Sit down, I'll ask Uncle Chen to make you your favorite sour soup fish right away. Mr. Gu and Mr. Xu, what do you want to eat? β
"Same as her." Gu Yi'an and Xu Yongheng opened their mouths in unison.
"Okay, you sit down and wait." Aunt Chen smiled and responded, but quietly gave Shu Yuan a smile of unknown meaning.
Xu Yongheng always felt uncomfortable, so he seemed to be struggling whether to sit or not. And Gu Yi'an had already sat down straight, took a teapot from the next table and poured water for Shu Yuan, and glanced at Xu Yongheng: "Mr. Xu, do you want tea?" Or can I go to the convenience store next door and bring you a piece of mineral water? Xu Yongheng saw Gu Yi'an's unforgiving kung fu, and replied sarcastically: "How dare you work for Gu Dong, I'll just drink this." β
Shu Yuan hurriedly sneered to relieve the embarrassment: "Brother Yongheng, let me tell you, don't look at this environment, but the sour soup fish made by Uncle Chen is first-class, I can't find anything comparable to it in Suzhou City, you will fall in love with it if you try it." β
Aunt Chen appeared in time and came out with the freshly cooked sour soup fish. Less than a pound of small grass carp fried into golden brown spread on the top, the bottom is their own rice noodles made of fresh rice milk, the essence of the sour soup fish lies in its soup base, with green onions, ginger and garlic stir-fried tomatoes and added litsea cubeba to boil, the sour and spicy taste that comes to the nose makes people appetize.
I saw Gu Yi'an naturally take out the disposable chopsticks, break them gently, and then skillfully rub the two chopsticks against each other for a moment and hand them to Shu Yuan. Xu Yongheng muttered in his heart: "Why do you have to rub the chopsticks, just break them and use them, there are many ugly people." β
But Shu Yuan was a little surprised when he saw this: "Yi'an, do you often go to small restaurants to eat?" I actually know that disposable chopsticks should be rubbed off after breaking off. β
"The most authentic food is often hidden in alleys and alleys, not restaurants. Eat it quickly, the fish in sour soup should be delicious while it is hot. Gu Yi'an replied.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Shu Yuan couldn't agree with Gu Yi'an's words.
Xu Yongheng plucked up the courage to taste it, as if the taste was okay, so he no longer rejected it.
It's just that at the dinner table, Gu Yi'an and Shu Yuan chatted about some things about Liaocheng, but he didn't know anything, which made him very frustrated. Looking at the teapot next to him, Xu Yongheng had a plan, if he accidentally burned his hand, Shu Yuan's attention would return to him.
It can only be said that when it comes to love, no matter how wise a person is, he will become naΓ―ve.
But sometimes life doesn't play cards according to common sense, when Xu Yongheng picked up the teapot, Shu Yuan just got up and was about to go to the bathroom, Shu Yuan couldn't avoid letting the tea drench his legs. Although Shu Yuan wore a one-piece dress today, the tea was the pot that Aunt Chen had just changed, and Shu Yuan felt a strong burning feeling through the clothes.
Xu Yongheng seemed to have forgotten to breathe for a moment, what did he do just now!
And Gu Yi'an was just startled but reacted quickly, and hurriedly pulled Shu Yuan to the bathroom to take cold water, but because the area was too large, Gu Yi'an and Xu Yongheng unanimously decided to take Shu Yuan to the hospital.
Aunt Chen shouted to follow, but at this time, there were too many people to help, so Shu Yuan declined, she felt that although the burned area was too large, but after all, there was an extra layer of clothing protection, and she could still bear this pain, but they were too nervous.
When he was about to leave, Xu Yongheng's phone rang at an inopportune time, and he wanted to hang up, but when he saw that the caller was Cheng Guang, he could only press the answer button: "Minister Cheng, what's the matter?" What the?! A small area of subsidence in the landmarks? β
Shu Yuan was also nervous when he heard the news: "The subsidence can be big or small, if there is a problem with this land, then we can't invest, the stakes are high, Brother Yongheng, you hurry over and take a look at the situation, I have Yi'an here." β
"Yuan'er, I really missed ...... just now" Xu Yongheng also knew that the land was the key at this time, but he still had to explain before getting in the car.
Shu Yuan didn't know that this was a ploy by Xu Yongheng, so he only comforted Xu Yongheng with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm just a trivial matter." That's the big deal in the company, I can't help now, so I'll leave this project to you. β
Gu Yi'an didn't fall into the ground, but gave Xu Yongheng a "reassuring" look, this is the pattern that a man should have.
Because Gu Yi'an didn't drive when he came over, they directly stopped a taxi and went to Liaocheng People's Hospital.
When I rushed to the hospital, I went directly to the burn department, and the doctor took a look at Shu Yuan's injured part and advised: "The degree of burn is not serious, but you should pay attention to it if the area is too large." I will now use iodophor to help you disinfect the wound and then apply burn ointment, and then prescribe some anti-inflammatory drugs for you later, take them according to the doctor's instructions to prevent inflammation, and do not touch water and eat hair before the wound heals. β
Shu Yuan nodded again and again, and Gu Yi'an next to him was holding his mobile phone and tinkering with something, after the doctor finished speaking, Shu Yuan's mobile phone rang, and when he opened it, he saw that it was a text message from Gu Yi'an, the content of which was the doctor's advice just now: take anti-inflammatory drugs according to the doctor's instructions, don't touch water with wounds, and don't eat hair.
Shu Yuan raised his eyes and just met Gu Yi'an's worried eyes: "Don't worry, don't remember to tell my grandfather." β
Gu Yi'an only replied in a low voice: "Hmm." His face returned to coldness.
Shu Yuan knew that he had made them worried, so he didn't say anything more.
It's just that when the doctor washed the wound with iodine, Shu Yuan gasped a few times in pain, bit his lower lip, and Gu Yi's peace of mind was frightened. "Doctor, can you be lighter? Don't you see her crying? A certain doctor......
"Does it hurt?" Gu Yi'an asked worriedly. Shu Yuan replied forcefully: "It's okay." But as soon as he finished speaking, he took another breath.
I saw Gu Yi'an stretch out his arm and hand it to Shu Yuan, Shu Yuan looked puzzled: "What are you doing here?" "That's what I watch on TV, just bite my arm when you're in pain." Gu Yi'an has never chased girls, and at this time, he is completely relying on the experience he learned when he watched TV series with Bai Ru in the past.
"Sneer......" a doctor accidentally laughed.
Shu Yuan was touched somewhere in his heart, and he funnily pushed back Yi An's hand: "Thank you Yi An, but I'm fine, really." β
By the time the burns were dealt with and the anti-inflammatory drugs came out, it was almost 4 o'clock, but the sun was still scorching. Gu Yi'an asked Shu Yuan to wait at the door, and he went to stop the taxi first. Shu Yuan looked at Gu Yi'an's figure, but a certain fragment of Liaocheng came to mind. It was also at the entrance of the hospital, and in the afternoon, it seemed that a tall man squatted in front of him and stretched out his hand to him and asked him if he could be her friend.
"Shu Yuan, come here." Gu Yi'an waved his hand at her, and Shu Yuan shook his head hard to bring himself back to his senses.
