The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 461 The Arrival of Yan Hua and Zhang Li

The white Land Rover was driving on the road, and the straight and straight poplar trees on both sides of the road were retreating rapidly. Looking from a distance, the earth was full of chill and desolation in winter.

The Land Rover drove past the tomato plantation base, then passed through a forest with bare branches, and the Wangfu was ahead.

At this time Zhang Li was driving the car, Yanhua was sitting in the passenger seat, neither of them spoke.

The two of them set off from the provincial capital at eight o'clock in the morning, and now at three o'clock in the afternoon, the sun is westward, and they will soon arrive at the destination of this trip - the beautiful valley.

The two of them didn't call Lao Tan and Wang Shulan before they came, because they were afraid they wouldn't call.Along the way, the two of them changed shifts and drove without stopping. They only went to the toilet in the service area.

I have already seen the sign of Beautiful Valley standing next to the road.

Land Rover turned right at the sign, drove forward for one kilometer and entered the mountain pass.

Zhang Li passed through the village by memory, drove past Meiligu Primary School, slowed down in front of two rows of farmyards at the foot of Dongshan, and drove slowly to the gate of Wang Shulan's small courtyard.

Of the two opposite doors, one was open and the other was ajar.

Zhang Li parked the car and pressed the horn, then turned off the engine, got out of the car with Yanhua and walked to the yard.

When it was almost at the entrance of the main house, the door opened, and a peasant woman wearing an apron walked out from the inside, looking at them both in surprise.

"Oh, why are you two here?" Wang Shulan called out happily.

Yanhua stepped forward and took Wang Shulan's hand, and said, "I miss you, let's come and see you."

Lao Tan was adding coal to the heating stove in the outhouse, when he heard Yanhua's voice, his heart moved, he quickly put the stove lid on and pushed the door out.

Zhang Li and Yanhua were very excited to see Lao Tan.

Zhang Li stepped forward and came to Lao Tan, looked him up, down, left, and right, and then said in a crying voice, "You scared me to death." Then she fell on Lao Tan's shoulder and cried uncontrollably.

Lao Tan patted her on the back and said, "I'm not doing well."

"Don't tell me if you're sick."

"I'm afraid you're worried."

"I'm not worried about that?"

Zhang Li left Lao Tan's shoulder, wiped her tears and said.

Old Tan smiled at her.

At this time, Wang Shulan joked: "You two treat me as if I don't exist, and you will be jealous if you do this again. You don't think it's cold, so hurry up and get in the house."

The four entered the room, and Wang Shulan asked Zhang Li and Yanhua to take off their shoes and get on the kang, saying that it was warm on the kang.Yanhua laughed, saying that Wang Shulan did as the Romans did, and was about to become a peasant housewife.

"Hey, you can do it if you stay here." Wang Shulan smiled.

After Yanhua and Zhang Li got on the kang, Wang Shulan really became a peasant woman. She didn't greet them politely like the people in the city, but asked them if they had eaten like a local housewife.

Zhang Li said that she didn't eat after driving for a whole day, and Wang Shulan said that it was just right, she just prepared the meal and was ready to eat, she asked the two of them to warm up and she made two more dishes, so they went to the outside room, Lao Tan was going to help She stopped her and told Lao Tan to chat with Zhang Li and Yanhua in the room.

Although the arrival of Yanhua and Zhang Li was beyond Lao Tan's expectation, he was happy.

He poured tea for the two of them, brought fruit, candy and melon seeds, and then moved a chair and sat down in front of the kang to chat with the two of them.

Yanhua asked with concern: "How do you feel now?"

Old Tan said: "It's good, it's back to before the reexamination."

"That's okay. I was terrified when I heard from Sister Wang that you vomited blood. I didn't sleep well for several days, so I went to see you after thinking about it. In those two days, the child caught a cold and was given a bottle for seven days." ——
The same goes for the doctor, didn't you check your body before chemotherapy? You know you have bronchiectasis, so if you can't do it, don't do it. "Yanhua complained to the doctor.

"It's probably because I didn't expect it to be serious, and I also have high blood pressure." Old Tan said.

"If you want me to say that the doctor is not qualified at all, don't you know that high blood pressure can't be cured?" Zhang Li said.

"At that time, my blood pressure dropped to the standard and I was able to receive chemotherapy." Old Tan said: "The main reason is that the drugs irritated the lungs, and even the trachea was not good, so bronchiectasis occurred. Once bronchiectasis occurred, the blood pressure soared, and the vomiting could not be stopped. In addition, the body is weak after the treatment, and the condition has worsened."

"It's under control now?" Zhang Li asked.

"Under control, otherwise it would be like this, with a red face." Old Tan laughed.

Zhang Li asked again: "Does it hurt now?"

Old Tan said: "It doesn't hurt very much. When it hurts, it's like a stomach ulcer. It will pass after a while."

"I didn't feel much pain at that time, and I didn't believe it when the doctor said it was cancer." Zhang Li said: "The main reason is that it was discovered early, and the uterus was removed as soon as it was discovered, and the post-treatment is good. Now there is nothing wrong with it." It's over.

Let me tell you that Lao Tan is mainly about his mood, so he must think about it, and half of it will be done if he wants to be sick.I was able to think about it at that time—” Speaking of Zhang Li, she suddenly stopped, looked at Lao Tan and smiled embarrassedly, and then said: “At that time, it was mainly you who guarded me every day and told me this and that—— —”

Zhang Li saw the scene of Lao Tan taking care of her when she was recovering from illness. To be honest, without Lao Tan's meticulous care, she couldn't recover so quickly, and she wouldn't be in a good mood.

Now that Lao Tan has cancer, she wanted to comfort and enlighten Lao Tan with her own words, but in the middle of her speech, she felt that what she wanted to say was all Lao Tan enlightened herself, so she stopped.

Old Tan said: "Don't worry, I can think about it. If there is nothing wrong, I can persuade myself if I can persuade you. Besides, I haven't lived enough, so I can't just leave like this."

"It's good to think of it this way." Zhang Li said.

"I'm very happy that you two are here. To be honest, I miss you. I don't want everyone to see my current state, let alone let people know.

After all, there is no one who is not afraid of death.Don't look at how powerful the mouth is, it won't be the time, and I will be afraid when the time comes, otherwise it would be better to live than to die.

If you are afraid, you will be afraid, but if you are not dead, you have to live, and you have to live well.

The reason why I don’t want you to know is because I’m afraid that you’ll be overwhelmed, and second, if you know, you’ll have to come and see me, and you’ll have to say something comforting and enlightening if you see me. Can you still tell me?Upset.

In addition, if you know about it, others will also know about it, so I don’t need to recover from my illness, I just wait to answer the phone all day long.

I know what I am, it's not serious.It is said to be cancer, but it is actually a severe inflammation. As long as you are in a good mood and cooperate with treatment, nothing will happen within two years.

Cancer is something you can't get used to. Disease is like a spring. If you are weak, it will be strong.I know that when I was hospitalized in Beijing this time, 80.00% of the people who got cancer did not die of pure illness, but because they had poor psychological endurance, couldn’t accept it, and frightened themselves to death.

I am big-hearted, open-minded, clear and understand everything.The task now is to let go of the burden and not think about anything, and focus on recuperating from the illness, recuperate the body while recuperating, enjoy life, and live happily.

When you come, treat it as a visit, don't always talk about being sick.Do I look sick?I'm just a normal person, there's nothing wrong with it, it's just that I was too tired before, and now I want to take a rest, so I come here to cultivate myself.

Tell you two that this beautiful valley is a good place, not only the air is good, the original ecology is not polluted, and the human relations are good.

It's not easy to get sick after staying here for a long time.You see, what they eat is pure green whole grains, what they drink is pure natural mineral water, and what they sleep on is a small heated kang.If you want to exercise, there is a natural oxygen bar outside. When you feel bored, you can go for a walk on the mountain to see the scenery. Instead of going to the ski resort, you can go to the farmhouse for a stroll, and all your worries are gone.

I plan to live here for a year or so, and enjoy it. "

"I support it!" Yanhua said.

At this time, Wang Shulan shouted from the outer room: "Old Tan, stop chattering, put the table on the table and serve the food, Yanhua, Zhang Li, you two go down to wash your hands, dinner will be served soon."
