Chapter 56: Suddenly

At noon, the farm's owner cooked a hearty, tasty, but not elaborate lunch, with steaks grilled to medium-rare, thinly sliced along the grain and drizzled with red wine juice.

The leeks, carrots, and kale are sautéed together in butter and seasoned with juniper. The kimchi, which is as bright red as a ruby, is pickled with purple cabbage and has a beautiful color. There are also shortbread crackers and a large pot of fragrant fish soup.

It's a simple meal, with no extra tricks, and simple cooking makes the food speak for itself. But everyone ate very satisfied.

As if in response to what the farmer said—food is a way to express love, love life, and love yourself—when Miyi drank the fish soup, she felt that her little heart was about to fly out!

After lunch, Mrs. Liang took Qiuzi and a basket of organic vegetables to say goodbye. She has become a member of the farm, claimed a small vegetable plot, and plans to bring Akiko to the farm to grow vegetables in the future.

The weekend was happy with the result, Akiko was still alive, her relationship with her mother had improved, and she seemed to be willing to talk to strangers.

When she came back with Fang Yi and Mrs. Liang carrying the freshly picked vegetables, she saw Qiuzi sitting under the tree chatting with Fang Yi. Moreover, I also interacted with everyone later.

OK, this consultation case can be put to an end for the time being!

Looking at the distant Akiko mother and daughter on the weekend, I felt particularly refreshed. Humming a little song, she happily returned to the yard and sat with everyone to listen to the farmer and Zhou Zhenxin talk about the advantages and disadvantages of the smallholder economy.

At this time, the news playing on a nearby TV screen caught everyone's attention.

"It is reported that at 9 o'clock this morning, because of the water leakage in unit X of an apartment, the neighbor called the police and found that the resident had been electrocuted, and the cause of death was the leakage of the water heater during bathing......"

“…… According to the latest news from the police, one of the deceased, a woman, was the owner of the house named Vera, a home designer...... The other deceased was a man and it was speculated that it could be her boyfriend......"

This news immediately made everyone talk about it. After all, it has been almost 200 years since the first electric water heater was produced, how can there still be leakage incidents?

Aren't all leakage circuit breakers and safety shields installed now?

“…… This accident taught us not to take for granted that a circuit breaker has the same lifespan as a home. According to random interviews, many households never replaced their circuit breakers – because they did not detect the fault of the circuit breakers in time. ”

The screen jumps, and there is a host randomly interviewing passers-by on the street,

"Did you know that leakage circuit breakers can break easily?"

"Did you know that leakage circuit breakers need to be inspected once a month? Have you checked it? ”

“……”

However, on the weekend, when I heard the word "Vera", I froze and didn't pay any attention to the leakage circuit breaker.

Vera, she's dead!

I was stunned for a long time on the weekend before I reacted. A few days ago, when I saw her holographic projection, I was so happy that my whole body was shining, but now there was an accident.

Life is impermanent......

The unusually quiet weekend finally attracted everyone's attention, "Momo, what are you thinking?" Fang Yi patted the weekend.

Everyone also focused on her.

"Just now, the deceased, I know, some time ago, she came to me for consultation, and she just told me a few days ago that her relationship is going well." The weekend muttered.

Everyone instantly understood the silence and sadness of the weekend. If someone you don't know has an accident, it's just a piece of news, and you may sigh and comment, but after all, it's just a bystander mentality.

But if it's someone you know, the feelings are different, and the grief will be much more real.

Miyi and Miel also looked at each other, and they once again witnessed the fragility of human beings, only because of the electric ions in the water.

◇◇◇◇◇

The next afternoon, a beautiful woman walked into the weekend clinic, and she made the weekend feel like a "big enemy".

"Be careful, slow down!"

"Anna, come here and hold on."

This nervousness made the woman who had an indifferent face couldn't help but smile a little, "I'm fine, don't be so careful." ”

However, on the weekend, Anna was relieved to carefully carry her to the couch in the consultation room and sit down.

The young woman was pregnant, and although she was wearing a loose dress, she could no longer hide the bulging area.

Twenty years ago, it would have been common to see pregnant women. But now, this is a rare "rare species", which is less common than the national first-class protected animals. How can such a "key protection object" appear in his own clinic, how can he not be nervous on weekends?

"Anna, make tea for the guests. No, no, can't make tea, or ......" I don't know how to entertain guests on weekends.

"Just give me a glass of warm water." Lan Yiou opened her mouth gently, her gaze fell on the face of the weekend, and there was a little nervousness on that young face.

"When I'm a regular customer, I'm just here to talk to someone, you know, pregnant women tend to be cranky. My husband is busy with work, and the rest of his family doesn't live here, and I don't like to talk to people casually, so it's better to come to you, after all, your counselor has a confidentiality agreement. ”

Hearing Lan Yiou say this, the weekend also calmed down, she sat down opposite Lan Yiou, looked at Lan Yiou and smiled slightly: "Thank you for your trust." I'm going to be a mother, I'm happy, right? ”

"Hmm." Lan Yiou nodded and took the water cup handed over by Anna, but he didn't drink it, just put it on the coffee table in front of him, "However, I'm also a little nervous." After all, my belly is not transparent like an artificial womb, and I can't see what the baby looks like inside. ”

"Have you ever been to the hospital for a check-up?" The weekend moved his gaze to the other person's slightly bulging abdomen.

"Yes, it's good." Lan Yiou gently placed his right hand on it and stroked it gently, "I can feel him growing healthily in it." ”

"Why did you choose to have your own children?" I couldn't help but ask my own questions over the weekend.

"It doesn't seem fashionable to have my own children now, but I don't want my children to grow up in a device." Lan Yiou said in a resolute tone, "I want to establish a close connection with the child at the beginning of his life, so that the parent-child relationship will be better when he grows up." Do you know? He's already talking to me now, sometimes kicking me gently, sometimes spitting bubbles in it......"

"If he had grown up in that man-made device, none of these rare experiences and memories would have existed, and he would have been like an object that we went to the store to buy, or a pet like a cat or a dog......"

On the weekend, I felt that Lan Yiou at this moment was like a statue of the Virgin, and his whole face was full of holy light. However, she had no experience in this area and didn't know how to respond, so she just listened quietly.

After talking for a long time, Lan Yiou stopped, looking at the weekend that had been listening to her quietly and patiently: "Thank you for patiently listening to me for talking nonsense for so long, I feel a lot more relaxed." Although I chose to have my own child, I was still very nervous. ”

She reached out and straightened her dress, moved her feet a little, and then stood up with one hand on her stomach and the other on the handle of the sofa chair, "I'm going back." ”

With this action, she pressed a flat, circular sticker-shaped monitor under the handle.
