MTL - 70s: Raising a Baby-Chapter 39

   Chapter 39

   There was a smell of disinfectant in the hospital, and it felt a little cool and cool. Several children were a little scared, and they clung to the adults' hands tightly and snuggled together.

   Ye Jinzhi was a little funny, where did the energy just now go.

   "Xiaoye, why are you here?" As soon as he walked in, he saw Nurse Liang.

   "Let's see Commander Zheng."

   Nurse Liang obviously knew: "Shall I take you there?"

   "This is it." Take them to a single ward, indicating that they are here.

   "Thank you, we'll go first and play at home when you have time." Ye Jinzhi thanked Nurse Liang.

   "Bang bang bang—"

   "Here." Zhao Xiujuan was a little surprised to see Ye Jinzhi and the others when she opened the door.

   "Why are you here?"

   Hu Zi came to her as soon as he saw her mother and reached out to pull her.

   Zhao Xiujuan held her son with one hand and pushed open the door with the other to let them in.

   "Come in, Jianguo and see who's coming."

   Zheng Jianguo was lying on the bed, his face still looked weak, and he was a little surprised to see the person coming.

   "Captain." Saying that, he will do it.

   "Don't move, lie down and take good care of your wounds." Yuan Shaochen stopped him from sitting up and let him lie down.

   Zheng Jianguo didn't reluctantly, his eyes twisted: "This is sister-in-law, hello, sister-in-law, this is the first time we met."

   "Hello, I'm Ye Jinzhi."

   "Huzi has troubled my sister-in-law these days." Zheng Jianguo heard from his wife that Huzi was at the former head of the regiment's house, and he was afraid that his sister-in-law would have an opinion.

   "Sister-in-law is very good, she took the initiative to ask me to put Huzi in her house."

   Seeing it now, it really is true.

   "Hello, uncle." The three children were a little scared, Zheng Jianguo's head was wrapped up, looking a little scary.

   "Hello uncle."

   Zheng Jianguo laughed when he saw the children.

   "The regimental commander didn't expect your children to be so old." Everyone in the army only knew that Young Master Yuan was married, but they didn't know that he had no children, and no one dared to ask.

   I was afraid that it would be embarrassing if it didn't happen by then. It wasn't until Ye Jinzhi and the others came that everyone knew that Young Master Yuan had three children.

   "Huzi, do you remember Daddy?" He hadn't seen his son for a month or two, and beckoned him to come over.

  Huzi was a little shy, he hadn't seen his father for a long time, let go of his mother's hand, and walked slowly to Zheng Jianguo.

   "Why don't you remember Dad?"

  Ye Jinzhi and the others didn't disturb the family's reunion, and they excused: "Let's go outside for a walk and come back to pick up Huzi later."

   Ye Jinzhi plans to go to the hospital to buy some medicine, but there is no medicine at home. When he catches a cold, he has to go to the hospital to get medicine, which is too troublesome.

   They also went for a walk on the street. Now there are more and more people on the street, and the hawkers are also bold.

   At the entrance of the hospital, Ye Jinzhi saw a man who looked honest and honest, and no one seemed suspicious.

   But when Ye Jinzhi saw him wandering around the door of the hospital, and met a few wealthy people, he would quietly walk up to them.

   opened his mouth slightly, as if asking something.

   Then when he saw those people he would stop and the man would open the bag for him to see.

   But after seeing it, most people waved their hands, and the man was not discouraged and continued to look for his customers.

   And a few people would nod their heads and follow him to a corner.

   When they came out again, the man who followed had a bag in his hand.

  The former junior minister came out today without a military uniform, but the aura on his body would make others shy away when he saw it.

  The man also stared at them several times, as if he wanted to ask if he wanted to.

   Ye Jinzhi saw that he hesitated for a long time, but he still approached.

   "Comrade, do you want blueberries?" The man lowered his voice, he was speaking to Ye Jinzhi.

   Ye Jinzhi was a little surprised. She didn't expect that this person was selling blueberries. She thought it was something like chicken. Many people in the hospital used chicken to make soup for patients.

   She was a little moved, and looked at the Yuan Shaochen with a slightly inquiring look.

   Yuan Shaochen saw the desire she wanted and nodded.

  To be honest, she hasn't eaten blueberries for a long time, and even a few children haven't eaten them.

"May I see it?"

   "Yes, yes." The man thought they would refuse, they were dressed like rich people, and the children were clean and white, and their clothes had no patches, and thought they would look down on these things.

   "Look, these were just picked today. They are big and sweet."

   Ye Jinzhi saw that the blueberries in the bag were indeed fresh and quite big. Although they were not as good as the ones she had eaten in later generations, they were not bad.

"How much?"

   "Five cents a pound." Things are expensive, no wonder they can't be sold.

   Seeing that she didn't speak, the man thought it was too expensive, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Ye Jinzhi say another sentence.

   "How much are you doing?"

   "What, what? You, do you want all of it?" The man was a little shocked, he didn't expect this man to buy so much, thinking he heard it wrong.

   Yuan Shaochen was also a little surprised when he heard it, but he didn't say anything. Ye Jinzhi's buying so much naturally had her role.

   The three children looked at their mother with a smile on her face and nodded calmly, the uncle was shocked.

   "Here, these are about a dozen pounds, even if you have five dollars." The man also quickly reacted, with an unstoppable surprise on his face. He didn't expect that he would hit his luck and meet a big client.

   "Okay, give me five dollars." Ye Jinzhi took a piece of five dollars and gave it to him.

   The man was still a little embarrassed and reminded her: "This thing is easy to break, you can't eat it all at once if you buy so much."

   Ye Jinzhi was a little funny, the seller also advised people not to buy it, and was worried that customers would break it when they bought it.

   "I know, I have my own way." Ye Jinzhi thanked him with a smile.

   Seeing her like this, the man didn't persuade her too much. After all, he made money and couldn't smash his own brand.

   I bought so many blueberries, and I don’t go shopping in this street anymore, so I brought these blueberries back to the car.

When    got to the car, Yuan Shaochen asked his doubts.

   "What are you doing with so many blueberries?"

   There is no refrigerator in this weather, some of these things are broken, and he doesn't understand why Ye Jinzhi buys so many.

   Ye Jinzhi saw that the children were all attracted by the big bag of blueberries, so he didn't pay attention.

   whispered into Yuan Shaochen's ear: "A Xu and A Hao's birthdays are coming, I'm going to use these blueberries to make blueberry jam, and then make a cake and squeeze blueberry jam on top."

   Ye Jinzhi also saw the household registration book a few days ago, only to realize that their birthdays are coming.

   Yuan Shaochen's birthday has already passed in May, Ah Zhao's birthday is during Chinese New Year, and Ye Jinzhi's birthday is in October.

   She didn't say that, Yuan Shaochen also forgot the birthdays of several children, and decided to see if he had a rest that day, or if not, he would take a leave and accompany them on their birthdays.

   After all, after so many years, the original body not only did not see them born, but also did not accompany them on their birthdays, and at most sent some things back.

   Seeing that the time was almost up, Ye Jinzhi and the others didn't go around anymore, they went to pick up Huzi and went back.

   "Don't eat it, go back and wash it before eating." Ye Jinzhi saw Ah Hao sneaking a blueberry, and was about to stuff it into his mouth.

   Seeing his reluctance, Ye Jinzhi deliberately frightened him.

   "When the time comes, there will be bugs in your stomach. Don't cry if you have a stomachache." Hearing that the president had bugs, Ah Hao was so frightened that he hurriedly threw the blueberries back.

   also pretended to be clever: "I listen to my mother, don't eat, go home and eat."

   Ye Jinzhi pretended not to see what he did just now: "Yes, really good."

   "Azhao." Ye Jinzhi was pouring the blueberries he bought into a basin to wash them, so he added a little salt for fear of not washing them cleanly.

   "Mother, did you call me?" Ah Zhao heard Ye Jinzhi's cry and hurried over.

  Ye Jinzhi packed two sets of washed blueberries in a bag.

   "Can you help my mother deliver these two blueberries to Grandma Liu's and Grandma Liang's?"

   Aunt Liu and Nurse Liang often sent things over, and Ye Jinzhi was too embarrassed to keep taking them.

   "Yes." Ah Zhao happily took over this task. Recently, he likes to help adults run errands.

   He is also smart. Instead of walking by himself, he drives his own toy car to run errands. Every time he goes out, he can attract a lot of attention.

   Ye Jinzhi was also very happy, there was no need to worry about bad guys in the compound, there were fewer cars, and the road was smooth, so there was no need to worry about falling.

   "Come back after delivery, don't play outside." Ye Jinzhi told him, afraid that he would play outside for a long time again.

  A Zhao nodded desperately, she didn't say that he wouldn't play outside, what would happen if they ate blueberries.

   "Go, be careful on the road."

   "Grandma Liu, Grandma Liu." Before reaching the door, Ah Zhao had already shouted loudly.

   "Hey." Liu Guihua happened to be at home. As soon as she heard Ah Zhao's voice, she hurried out to greet her.

   "Grandma Liu, these are the blueberries my mother asked me to send." The little hand held a bag from the seat next to it and handed it over.

   "Thank you Ah Zhao, wait for Grandma Liu." Seeing that Ah Zhao was about to leave, Liu Guihua hurriedly stopped him.

   We just made steamed buns at home, and she wanted to deliver them later.

   "Come, take this back." Liu Guihua packed the steamed buns and put them on the seat.

   "Thank you, Grandma Liu. Goodbye, Grandma Liu." Ah Zhao drove to the next destination

   Some of those blueberries were sent out, and there were many at home. Ye Jinzhi gave one third to the children, and the rest was used to make blueberry jam.

   Afraid of failure, I took a small bowl of blueberries to try first to prevent waste.

   She directly poured the blueberries into the pot and heated them up, but Ye Jinzhi's blueberries were difficult to burst and needed to be pressed with the help of a spatula.

  Although it is a bit difficult, after the blueberries are popped, add sugar and cook for about 15 minutes, and it is almost sticky.

   I tasted the sweet and sour taste, which is almost the same as the blueberry jam of later generations. The jam made from blueberries is a little less, and it only occupies the bottom of the bowl.

   The first time was successful, which increased Ye Jinzhi's confidence, and the second time he did it, he had more experience.

  She smashed the remaining blueberries into blueberry juice with a tool, then put them in the pot and repeated the previous steps.

   "Mother, I'm back." Ah Zhao came back with a lot of things, and he couldn't see his head.

   "Why so many things?" Ye Jinzhi hurried to pick it up, and Ah Zhao's face turned red.

   "This is the steamed bun from Grandma Liu, and this is the candy and biscuits from Grandma Liang." Ah Zhao introduced the past in the same way.

   Ye Jinzhi's eyes lit up when he saw the steamed buns, which just happened to be dipped in blueberry sauce.

   "How is it, is it delicious?" Ye Jinzhi cut the steamed bun into slices and dipped it in blueberry jam for Ah Zhao.

  A Zhao's eyes lit up, he directly took the bowl in Ye Jinzhi's hand and dipped it in the steamed bread slices.

   "It's delicious, mother, you are amazing."

   In Ah Zhao's heart, mother is simply the most powerful person in the world, who can do anything.

   Ye Jinzhi was very happy when he saw that the fruits of his labor were so popular.

   In the blink of an eye, it was August, and it was the birthdays of Ah Xu and Ah Hao, and the two twins were separated by three minutes.

   Ye Jinzhi got up early this morning and worked in the kitchen for a long time.

   It happened that Young Master Yuan was resting that day, and he was busy in the kitchen with Ye Jinyi.

   When Ye Jinzhi was on her birthday, the nanny at home would make her a bowl of longevity noodles, which was still a long one, and she said that it could not be bitten off.

   She also wanted to make longevity noodles for the children. She started preparing it a few days ago. After practicing for a long time, she finally arrived today.

   I may have done it well a few days ago, but today I did it smoothly. The dough was not too hard or too wet like the previous days.

   "Come on, the noodles are ready." She also put poached eggs in the noodles, only A Xu and A Hao's noodles are long, and theirs are ordinary.

  A Xu and A Hao heard their mother told them that they couldn't bite off the longevity noodles, so they shoved them into their mouths.

   Fortunately, considering that they are still young, Ye Jinzhi did it relatively short, otherwise they might choke.

  After breakfast, Ye Jinzhi started making cakes.

   Actually, Ye Jinzhi had prepared a cake for them a few days ago, and the ingredients were all ready.

   Ye Jinzhi took a few eggs and separated the egg white protein according to the method in memory.

   Then whisk the egg whites all the way in one direction, but that's obviously a lot of work.

   "Come here." He put the bowls and chopsticks in the hands of the Yuan Shaochen.

  There is no egg beater, and the eggs are beaten by hand. Fortunately, Yuan Shaochen is very strong, and the egg white turns into a white foam in about 20 minutes, then add some sugar and continue to stir.

   Ye Jinzhi couldn't bear to let Young Master Yuan keep fighting, and wanted to take over and help him fight halfway.

   "I'm coming, you don't move." How could Young Master Yuan let her come.

   Ye Jinzhi didn't argue either. She added some flour to the egg yolk and stirred it, waiting for Yuan Shaochen to stir the egg white into cream, and then put the two together.

   She also added a little milk to give the cake a creamy fragrance.

   These steps took a whole morning, and failed several times in the middle, wasting a lot of eggs.

   A few children didn't have class today. Knowing that Ah Xu and Ah Hao were celebrating their birthdays, the mother also said that she would make a cake for them.

   A few children would run to the kitchen from time to time to see if they were ready. It was their first time to eat cake, and they felt very new.

   Because the cream has no ingredients, Ye Jinzhi did not apply the cream, but she bought canned yellow peaches.

   Cut the cake in half horizontally. Ye Jinzhi first spread the blueberry sauce on the cake with a spoon, and then dice the yellow peach in the canned yellow peach and spread it on top of the cake.

   Spread the rest of the cake, Ye Jinzhi also wrote the words "Happy Birthday" with blueberry jam.

   "Mother, are you ready to eat?" Ah Hao was already too greedy.

   "No, you can eat it after lunch."

   Ye Jinzhi was afraid that they would steal it and put it in the cupboard.

   A few children were not disappointed when they heard it. They ran from time to time to see if the cake was still there, for fear that it would disappear.
