The weather was hot, and the old man was sweating profusely from running around boiling medicine.
Cheng Tianyuan felt sorry for the old man, but he didn't care at all.
"It's okay. Summer is a good time to sweat. You can't stop sweating all the time, otherwise you won't be able to take away some of the dregs in your body. I usually sit at home and don't do much exercise to sweat, so that won't work."
Cheng Tianyuan nodded after being taught.
Xue Ling peeled the apple and handed half of it to the old man.
"Uncle San, eat some fruit."
However, Xue Sanbo couldn't take any time off. He pinched the apple and said, "Ling Ling, did you feel anything unusual when you went back last night?"
"No." Xue Ling explained: "I went back and took a shower, and fell asleep as soon as I touched the pillow."
Xue Sanbo waved to her and said, "Come here and I'll take your pulse."
Xue Ling obediently came forward.
Quickly, San Bo took his pulse and whispered: "There are no other abnormalities in your body, but you can't rush around too much. I will take you to the obstetrician and gynecologist here in a while. She has been studying with me for several years.
She specializes in pharmacology and is half of my student. Later, there was a shortage of obstetricians and gynecologists here, so she went to receive training, and she quickly started working. After working for more than 20 years, she is already one of the most experienced doctors."
"Okay." Xue Ling said quickly, "Then I'll trouble my third uncle."
The third uncle stopped and said: "It's just a little effort, why do you want to thank me? I thought about it just now and thought it would be better for her to check you out and then see if you need any medicine. She is a professional obstetrician and gynecologist, so it's better to listen to
her."
"Okay." Xue Ling nodded again.
When Cheng Tianyuan saw that the old man refused to eat the apple, he turned around and poured a glass of water.
"Uncle San, drink some water."
Xue Sanbo put the apple down, took it and drank it slowly.
Mother Xue went to the nurse's station and came back and greeted him with a smile.
"I'll probably have to trouble you for a while. Fortunately, with you here, everyone's minds have finally stabilized."
Xue Sanbo laughed and said: "Brothers and sisters, we are all members of our own family, so what kind of words can I say? I am already a bad old man, and if I can be needed by everyone and make them feel that I am still useful, that would be great! I usually have nothing to say.
When I was at home, I just read books and checked the pulses and medicines of some old friends who came to visit me. I had nothing to do, and occasionally I felt bored."
He drank the water, handed the cup back to Cheng Tianyuan, and then left with Xue Ling.
Cheng Tianyuan asked: "Uncle San, do I need help?"
"No need." The old man said warmly: "You stay and take care of your father-in-law. Lingling doesn't need help yet."
Cheng Tianyuan watched them leave, turned around and saw his father-in-law asleep again, so he sat aside and fanned him.
Mother Xue whispered: "Ayuan, didn't you sleep last night? You just go to bed and fall asleep, and I will fan him."
"No need." Cheng Tianyuan explained: "I slept on the sofa all night last night. It was Uncle Zhilan who watched my dad until dawn. Mom, I'm not tired, don't worry."
Mother Xue smiled bitterly and explained: "I am getting older now, and my health is not as good as before. I stayed up for two nights in a row, and I felt dizzy and swollen last night. After falling asleep last night, I couldn't wake up. In the middle of last night
I slept very deeply, but in the middle of the night, I was worried about this, so I tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep."
"Don't worry, there are plenty of people here." Cheng Tianyuan comforted.
Mother Xue looked around and asked: "By the way, where is Lao Zheng?"
Cheng Tianyuan replied: "Just now he said he was going to make a phone call and planned to inquire about buying a car."
Mother Xue smiled and whispered: "A few years ago, we were still talking about the green train being the best, fastest and latest means of transportation. But since I took a plane, I felt that the train was too slow. Ever since I got a car at home,
, we are used to riding, but now that we don’t have a car, it always feels inconvenient to get in and out. It’s really helpless if we don’t have a car!”
Cheng Tianyuan grinned and explained: "Mom, we are the same. Before Lingling married me, the best things in our rural area were watches, sewing machines and bicycles. What I longed for most was to have a bicycle. Later, Lingling
After marrying me, we rented a building in Rongcheng, and she bought a second-hand bicycle. I was so happy at the time - by the way, I bought that bicycle from Ahu. We met him at that time."
"Haha!" Mother Xue couldn't help but laugh, "I guess buying a car now is not as exciting as it was then."
"Yes." Cheng Tianyuan said: "Many streets in Rongcheng did not have street lights. I asked her to get in the car and immediately took her for a ride around the neighborhood. The bicycle was our most expensive possession at the time."
Xue’s mother praised: “In just a few years, you can drive a car, which is a big leap. Many people are still trying to buy motorcycles produced by joint ventures. I heard that one costs 10,000 to 20,000 yuan.
, not cheap!”
"What ten or twenty thousand?" Zheng Sanyuan hurriedly walked in and said with a smile: "The new car costs more than ninety-eight thousand, including tax. It's just that it's troublesome to make a brand, so my friend made a temporary one for us to hang up first.
Make do with it."
"It's not against anything, right?" Xue's mother asked nervously.
Originally, she didn't know much about the so-called traffic rules. Apart from being able to ride a bicycle, she didn't even know how to drive, so she didn't know any rules.
Unexpectedly, after my husband had an accident the night before, the traffic brigade personnel said that he must abide by traffic rules. If he violates it, he will be fined, and if he gets into an accident, he will even be detained and imprisoned.
She was very frightened and felt that she must learn more about those rules when she had time.
Zheng Sanyuan knew better and explained: "No, it will not be violated unless it is hung up. Don't worry, my friend specializes in selling cars, and he knows these things best. He made the arrangements, so you will be right if you listen to him."
"Then we listen to you." Cheng Tianyuan said with a smile.
Zheng Sanyuan laughed and said: "The cars are all ready-made, but those contracts have a lot of rules and regulations. Lingling and I will go over there in the afternoon and go to the bank to withdraw the money and hand it over. If everything goes well, maybe tomorrow afternoon
Bring the car over and use it.”
"The sooner the better." Xue's mother said.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law." Zheng Sanyuan patted his chest and said, "This is definitely the fastest speed in the entire imperial capital!"
After a while, Zheng Sanyuan was busy.
"Tell Lingling and I will come here to pick her up in the afternoon."
Cheng Tianyuan nodded and watched him leave.
After a long while, Xue Ling and Sanbo slowly walked back.
One has a big belly and cannot walk fast. The other is old and cannot walk fast, so he walks slowly.
Cheng Tianyuan helped Xue Ling sit down and asked quickly: "How are you? Are you okay?"
"It's nothing serious." Xue Ling replied: "The doctor said the baby will be born in a few days, so we should be prepared. She said the baby's head is very downward, and after the examination, she said the baby will be born in three or four days at most."
Xue Sanbo explained: "She said there is no need to take medicine. It is normal for the child to be born a few days early. There is no need to worry and just let nature take its course. However, she told Ling Ling not to move around too much and that she must sit more.
