Xue Ling asked Chen Shuiyu for Shan Yue's phone number, then hurriedly found a public phone and called Shan Yue.
No one answered at first, so Xue Ling didn't insist on waiting. He walked out of the hospital and bought a dozen big apples, then went upstairs.
When Chen Shuiyu saw her coming back, she quickly became nervous.
"He-what did he say?"
Xue Ling suppressed a smile and explained: "No one answered the phone. He probably went out. I will call later."
Chen Shuiyu hummed in dissatisfaction: "I don't know where he went! It's been a month since the Lantern Festival, and I haven't seen him come to get the goods from you! Does he still want to make money? If the business chain is broken, it will be connected in the future.
Is it that easy to get up?"
Xue Ling didn't want to offend the pregnant woman, so she quickly nodded in agreement.
"Yes! I'm still waiting for him to come and get the goods from me!"
She borrowed a fruit knife from the person in the hospital bed next door, washed it, and then peeled an apple for Chen Shuiyu to eat.
Chen Shuiyu had no appetite, but soon became happy after eating the sweet and sour apple.
"Yo! It's the first time I discovered how delicious apples are!"
Xue Ling explained: "Many pregnant women feel nauseated and unable to eat in the early stages of pregnancy. They find sour food delicious. Some like sour food and some like spicy food. When I was first pregnant with Xiao Ranran, I also liked sour food and I also liked spicy food when eating.
.”
Chen Shuiyu smiled and gnawed on the apple happily.
"Xiao Xue, give me another one. It feels so good when you eat it."
Xue Ling shook his head and explained: "The weather is still cold now. You can't eat anything else. You can't eat too many cold fruits at one go. If you like it, I will buy some later to stew pork bones and cook a pot of nutritious acid.
Sweet and sour soup for you to drink."
Chen Shuiyu couldn't help but curiously asked: "Can apples be used to make soup? Is it true? This is the first time I've heard this!"
Xue Ling nodded and explained: "The apple stew is delicious, good for the stomach, and very appetizing. Pork bone soup is highly nutritious and contains calcium, which is good for children."
"Then I want to drink." Chen Shuiyu smiled bitterly: "I can't eat much these days. I can't even eat much of the food the nurse sister brings me."
Xue Ling said: "I'll go down and call Brother Shanyue, and then call home and ask my mother-in-law to make apple soup. The bones and apples at home are ready-made, and it can be cooked in one or two hours."
After a while, she hurried downstairs again, first called home and asked her mother-in-law to make apple soup.
Then, she found Shanyue's home phone number and dialed it.
After a while, Shan Yue answered the call, with a strong sense of fatigue, as if he had just woken up.
Xue Ling couldn't help but ask: "Brother Shanyue, I'm Xiao Xue! Do you have a cold? Why is your voice so strange? Or did you just wake up?"
"Ah? Xiao Xue! Hello, hello." Shanyue whispered tiredly: "I... It's all my cold. I haven't recovered from my cold, and I've been sleeping at home."
"Have you seen a doctor?" Xue Ling said: "When you are sick, you have to see a doctor. You can't delay it."
"I haven't seen it..." Shankoshi muttered: "Isn't it just a cold? Sooner or later it will be fine. I am a grown man, and I am still afraid of a little cold - cough cough cough cough!"
Xue Ling smiled helplessly and asked: "By the way, is Sister Chen here? It's been more than a month since the New Year, so why haven't you come to pick up the goods from me?"
Shangyue sighed and whispered: "She...is not here. She has gone back to her parents' home. I really have no intention of making money recently. I am tired both physically and mentally, and I am very tired."
Xue Ling chuckled and asked deliberately: "What are you tired of? Why are you tired? I called Sister Chen and I heard that she is no longer at her parents' home."
"What?" Shanyue muffled: "I'm not at my parents' house. I'm probably visiting her other brothers and sisters."
"No." Xue Ling said, "I heard she left South Island."
"Then where is she going?" Shanyue's tone became anxious and asked: "What are you doing after leaving the South Island? Why didn't anyone tell me?"
Xue Ling suppressed a laugh and asked, "That's right! You are a couple, how come you didn't know she left Nandao?"
Shan Yue let out a long sigh, feeling helpless and uncomfortable.
"She divorced me... I couldn't resist her for a while, so I divorced her."
Xue Ling said "Ah?" and asked: "You are pretending to get a divorce, right? You and her have been in love for so many years and have such a deep relationship, how can you be willing to divorce and separate!"
"I - I plan to wait until her anger subsides before coaxing her back." Shangoe told the truth.
Xue Ling couldn't help laughing and said: "How can you get divorced like this? Is this a child's play? Isn't it?"
"Alas..." Shanyue explained: "My parents forced me to make a fuss, and she made trouble with me. I couldn't help but agree to it, and actually took her to get a divorce. When I got home that night, I
I regret it.”
"Then what?" Xue Ling asked.
Shangoe replied: "She packed her bags and left. I was upset and angry. I drove my parents back to my hometown and drank alone to relieve my boredom. Spring is here, and it rains repeatedly in the South Island. I don't want to
Be careful of catching a cold. I thought I would go to her parents’ house to coax her after I recover. By the way, do you know where she went? She went to——Rongcheng?”
"Yes!" Xue Ling added deliberately: "She came to our Rongcheng and is now lying in the hospital."
"What?!" Shanyue was startled and asked anxiously: "What's wrong with her? Has her stomach trouble started again? I - I'll go find her!"
"Don't be anxious." Xue Ling said: "You haven't recovered from your cold yet. See the doctor and take medicine quickly. Don't pass the cold to her when you come here. She is pregnant with the child now and is a little weak. She must not catch a cold."
"What? What did you say...?" Shanyue was so anxious that he even changed his Mandarin to his hometown dialect.
Xue Ling laughed and said: "Congratulations! Brother Shanyue, you are going to be a father! Sister Chen is pregnant, almost two months old, and is now in the obstetrics and gynecology department for abortion."
Shanyue on the other side of the phone fell silent instantly, not even breathing.
Xue Ling couldn't help but feed her a few times and said with a smile: "What? Are you crazy with joy?" Sister Chen said that she was conceived when she just returned to South Island before the Chinese New Year. She was very uncomfortable in the early stages of pregnancy and was afraid that something might happen to the child.
Take your luggage and come to Rongcheng to find Director Xiao to have the baby."
"I - I - go find her right now!" Shanyue said in a rough voice, angry and anxious: "That stinky bitch! You didn't even tell me such a big thing! She is going to piss me off to death! She is pregnant with a child.
Going to Rongcheng alone! She is so bold as a thief!"
"Don't worry, don't worry!" Xue Ling said with a smile: "She is in pretty good condition now, but don't get too excited. You have to cure your cold quickly, but you can't pass it on to her. Don't worry, we will help you take care of her these days.
.Come here when you feel better!"
"Thank you, thank you!" Shanyue was very excited, "I - I will go out to see a doctor immediately, book a flight to the provincial capital, and then transfer to the car to find you. Xiao Xue, I'll take care of you first! Thank you... thank you!"
Xue Ling hung up the phone, stayed with Chen Shuiyu until noon, drove home for lunch, and then returned to the hospital with braised pork and apple soup.
Chen Shuiyu smiled happily while eating braised pork.
"I really miss the braised pork made by Aunt Liu - it's so delicious! It's not greasy, and with the sweet and sour apple soup, I don't seem to feel sick anymore. It's so delicious! Thank you, Xiao Xue, I
I haven’t eaten so happily in several days.”
Xue Ling snorted twice and deliberately teased: "When Brother Shanyue comes, let him pay for the food!"
