My village can't be like this

Chapter 705 Entering the City

Chapter 705 Entering the City
Because Zhang An left such a good impression on the nurses, their enthusiasm did not diminish at all even though Zhang An came with someone else.

"Okay, it's done. If you have any problems later, just come to us. We are the ones on duty every day anyway."

It didn't take much time and all the formalities were completed. For Zhang An's sake, several nurses took the initiative to tell Zhou Yang's family that they could come to them if they had any problems.

If it were ordinary people, they would not say this on their own initiative.

After all, they are busy enough on weekdays. Once they open the door, they will probably have endless things to do.

"Okay, okay, thank you."

When Mrs. Zhou heard this, she was flattered.

In her memory, no doctor or nurse would say this when they came to the hospital before, so she had a very good impression of these young nurses.

After settling in the ward, Mrs. Zhou stayed to accompany her daughter-in-law Chen Wenwen.

Zhang An took Zhou Yang to the Ding family's house to familiarize him with the route.

Because it was not far, the two did not drive but walked there directly.

"Uncle An, there is a vegetable market here. Let's go in and buy some vegetables to bring over."

Passing by a vegetable market on the way, Zhou Yang planned to buy some things to take back.

Even after the baby is born, Chen Wenwen, the mother, will have to wait for a few days before being discharged from the hospital and going home to recuperate, so they have to stay here for several days, which is a long-term battle.

If you stay for a long time, you will naturally need to buy a lot of things. Buying a little at a time is not a big deal, but if you buy everything at once, it would be a real torture.

"Then let's go. But it's already noon, and I'm afraid there won't be any good food."

In today's vegetable markets, the real peak time is in the morning, around 7 to 9 o'clock, and all fresh vegetables are only available then.

After the time limit, although there are still some for sale, it will be difficult to buy fresh ones.

"That's fine. Let's buy some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar first, and we'll see what else we can buy. My dad has already said that once we settle down here, he'll send some things over from home, so there won't be that much to buy then."

Zhou Yang often comes to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, and he understands this principle better than Zhang An.

But he didn't care. He just came here to buy some things today to avoid buying too much later.

The two walked around the vegetable market and found that there were indeed no good vegetables left, so Zhou Yang bought some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

However, the oil is not vegetable oil, but a large piece of pork fat that you buy and then take back to refine it yourself.

"By the way, Uncle An, I remember your family used to raise pigeons, do you still have them now?"

On the way to the Ding family, Zhou Yang suddenly remembered that when Su Ying was pregnant with Xiao Siqi, Zhang An raised a flock of pigeons.

This thing is a great tonic for postpartum women, especially in the hands of a chef like him who knows how to cook it.

"Yes, yes, and there are still quite a few. If you want them, wait until Brother Shuanglin comes and go grab them."

Ever since Su Ying finished her confinement, the flock of pigeons at home no longer posed a threat of killing.

Because Su Ying had eaten a lot of pigeons during that period, she really couldn't eat anymore. After she was out of confinement, she immediately protested and said she didn't want to eat pigeons or old hens anymore.

Therefore, the number of pigeons that escaped the disaster has increased from only a few at the beginning to more than twenty now.

Zhang An usually disliked them for defecating everywhere, so he moved them to the top of the chicken coop and let them keep company with the chickens and ducks at home.

"That's fine. I'll call my dad tonight and ask him to catch a few and bring them over. I was in such a hurry today that I forgot about it. In addition to the pigeons, you can also help me catch two old hens."

Although these things can be bought in the city, Zhou Yang, who often comes to buy vegetables, knows that the goods that can be bought outside cannot compare with those raised by Zhang An's family.

"I'll catch you a few more big crucian carp. The soup made from the fish at home is very effective in increasing lactation. You can make some fish soup for Wenwen."

The big crucian carp from Zhang An’s family, after being bred in space, is especially delicious when used to make soup, and is especially good for postpartum women to increase milk production.

When Li Li just gave birth to Ding Zijie, the whole family was worried because she had little breast milk.

In the end, Ding Yi went to find Zhang An and brought back a few crucian carp every week to make fish soup for her. Since then, their family has never worried about this problem again.

Chen Wenwen is thinner than Li Li and looks very frail. If she relies on herself, the baby she gives birth to might starve. So Zhang An thinks that their family definitely needs this.

"It's even better to have this. I was thinking of grabbing some more when the time comes. Since you have it, I don't have to bother myself anymore."

When Zhou Yang heard that Zhang An still had big crucian carp, there was no reason for him to refuse.

As they were talking, the two had already arrived at the Ding family's residential area. In fact, it was not too far away. It took less than ten minutes to walk to the hospital.

I opened the door and went into the house. It was cleaned thoroughly. Except for the master bedroom which was closed, the other rooms had been replaced with clean bedding. It was obvious that they had just been cleaned.

Needless to say, Ding Yi must have told Li Li about this yesterday, and she sent someone to clean up the mess.

There is no need to say more about these things, Zhou Yang will see it himself.

After putting down their things, they went back to the hospital.

"Uncle Xiao An, Uncle Six is ​​still in the hospital, right? I'll buy some things and go see him later."

Before arriving at the hospital, Zhou Yang remembered Yang Laoliu who was injured by a bull crowbar a few days ago.

We are all from the same village and have a pretty good relationship. If he hadn't come to the city, I could have waited until he was discharged from the hospital and then visited his home to show some friendship.

But since we're already at the hospital, we have to go and see the patient no matter what, otherwise it would be unjustifiable.

"If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten about it. Let's go and take a look."

If Zhou Yang hadn't mentioned it, Zhang An wouldn't have thought about this matter, because Yang Laoliu had been in the hospital for many days, and it seemed that he would be discharged soon.

Nowadays, when visiting patients in rural areas, it is not popular to buy milk or other things. Most people buy fruits and canned food.

So the two of them bought some fruits on the street, and went to Yang Laoliu's place after entering the hospital.

When I entered the ward, Yang Laoliu was lying on the bed staring at the ceiling. The person accompanying him was Yang Laowu, who was leaning against the side and dozing off.

"Sixth Brother (Uncle Liuzi), how are you recovering?"

Zhang An and Zhou Yang walked in carrying their things, smiled at Yang Laoliu and asked.

"He's recovering fine. Doctor Zhang said we'll take an X-ray the day after tomorrow. If there's nothing unexpected, he'll be discharged. Why are you two here? Why are you doing all this?"

When he saw the two people, Yang Laoliu sat up straight, and Yang Laowu, who was dozing off next to him, also woke up.

Seeing the postures of Zhang An and Zhou Yang, they knew that they must have come to visit Yang Laoliu.

"Yoko's wife's due date is coming soon, so she came to the hospital today to wait for the birth of her baby. Then we thought you hadn't been discharged yet, so we came to see you."

The two put their things down. Zhou Yang didn't say anything, so Zhang An started to explain.

"That's great news! We've been waiting for your red eggs. Even though I can't eat them, I must share in your good luck." Upon hearing this, Yang Laowu and Yang Laoliu immediately congratulated Zhou Yang.

Afterwards, they talked for a while, and Zhang An and Zhou Yang prepared to leave.

However, before leaving, the Yang brothers asked about Chen Wenwen's ward.

After all, giving birth is a big deal. People have come to visit, so you have to say that you want to go back.

After there was nothing more to do in the hospital, Zhang An prepared to go home, and Zhou Yang sent him downstairs.

"Yangzi, keep this for yourself. Let Wenwen drink some before she goes into the delivery room. If she becomes weak during the process, you should let her drink more."

Before leaving, Zhang An took out the space spring water that had been prepared long ago from the car and handed it to Zhou Yang.

"Okay, I know."

Zhou Yangjie took it and put it away as if it were a treasure.

He didn't ask why because he knew Zhang An would not harm them.

Moreover, Zhang An's tone of voice was very serious, and he had already told him the purpose of the water-like thing in the bottle. He knew that this thing must be something extraordinary.

When walking out of the county hospital, Zhang An saw that it was still early, so he stopped by the Forestry Bureau.

After all, his name is still there. It would be fine if he didn't come at other times, but now that everyone is in the city and there is still time, it's time to go and take a look.

When we arrived at the Forestry Bureau, there weren't many people inside. Because it was the weekend, only the people on duty were there.

"Hey, this is a rare guest. Why did you think of coming out today?"

The person on duty today was Zhuang Shuying. When she saw Zhang An, she immediately looked surprised.

"I sent a friend to the hospital today, so I came to see you guys."

This is not the first or second time that Zhuang Shuying has behaved like this, and Zhang An is no longer surprised.

"You came just in time. You can pick up the gifts for the Dragon Boat Festival."

The two of them went into the office and talked for a while, and then Zhuang Shuying brought two boxes of things over.

Zhang An took it and looked at it, and found that they were two boxes of rice dumplings, which was considered a welfare provided by the company.

Even though the Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival have not yet been designated as legal holidays, they have always been benefits for you in many companies.

Zhang An accepted it with a smile. He had never received any benefits from the company before, but after being lured into the company by Lao Zhu, he would receive little surprises from time to time.

Although it is not something valuable, it is still a token of my appreciation.

"By the way, where's Lao Zhu? I don't think he's in the office."

Zhang An glanced at Zhu Yuliang's office, which was empty and no one was there, so he asked Zhuang Shuying.

"He's on a business trip. It's the same thing you mentioned last time. He went to the city to file a report."

Zhuang Shuying pursed her lips and said this, with her rosy cheeks, she looked quite seductive like a young woman.

Fortunately, Zhang An's lovely wife remained calm and was not affected at all. If it were another man, he would probably drool.

Since Old Zhu was not there, Zhang An did not plan to stay any longer. After chatting with Zhuang Shuying for a few more words, he got up and left.

"Why are you in such a hurry to leave? If you stay a little longer, I'm afraid your sister will eat you. It's already time for dinner. Why don't you go to the cafeteria and eat before leaving? If you go back now, it will be afternoon when you get home."

Zhuang Shuying used to be a very serious woman, but since she became acquainted with Zhang An and knew his personality, she always liked to tease him whenever she saw him.

"Let's go, what delicious food did Master Wen make today?"

After hearing what Zhuang Shuying said, Zhang An remembered that it was already noon and time for lunch.

So I didn't rush to leave and decided to eat here first. Anyway, it would be a waste if I didn't eat the food here. It was a good opportunity to take advantage of the autumn breeze.

"I don't know either, but you're lucky. It seems they got a piece of donkey meat yesterday. They should cook it today."

Because they were on duty and things were not as strict as usual, Zhuang Shuying took Zhang An to the cafeteria.

"Master Wen, long time no see. You are still as charming as ever."

As soon as he entered the cafeteria, Zhang An saw Master Wen giving orders, so he greeted him from a distance.

"It's you, kid. Why did you think of coming here today? Is there something wrong?"

Wen Zhonghe saw Zhang An and replied with a smile.

"Look at what you said. If there's nothing wrong, I can't come. I've been thinking about the dishes you cook."

Zhang An was thick-skinned, just like the person who never came to visit for no reason.

"Come on, you stay at home every day and live like a god. I don't believe you."

Old Wen pretended to glare at him, indicating that he didn't believe a word Zhang An said.

To be honest, ever since Wen Zhonghe visited Zhang An's house once, he couldn't understand how this kid could live such a comfortable life at such a young age.

"Okay, stop being so funny and go eat. We'll be out of food soon."

Seeing that the people who came to get food had left, Wen Zhonghe stopped joking with Zhang An.

Because there were not many people on duty today, the dishes they cooked in the kitchen were not many. If they were finished in a hurry, we would not be able to eat them.

"It's okay. If there's no food, I'll ask you to cook for me."

Zhang An chuckled, but still obediently took the plate in his hand.

Today's meal was indeed not bad. In addition to the donkey meat that Zhuang Shuying mentioned, there was also stewed pig's trotters, crispy chicken, fried potatoes, and sauerkraut and shredded pork soup, all of which were Zhang An's favorites.

Donkey meat is not much eaten in this area, but Wen Zhonghe is a great cook and can cook any dish.

Zhang An took a bite and found the meat very fragrant, with plenty of seasoning. It had a bit of the flavor of mutton, but without the strong smell of mutton.

The stewed pig's trotters are also delicious. They are stewed with soybeans. The soup is fresh and white and very tasty. The large white beans, each bigger than a thumb, taste soft and delicious.

After taking a few bites of food, Zhang An had finished a bowl of rice.

Of course, his appetite was more than that, so he immediately stood up and drank another bowl.

By the time he finished eating, there was no soup left in the bowl. Even the sauerkraut and shredded pork soup was drunk up by him.

He burped with satisfaction and then left.
