Chapter 196 Hawthorn
Su Jinhui looked up at him and suddenly thought of something, "Xiao Hai, were you the one who went to the military district to tell Yan Li'an that the herbs in the warehouse were moldy?"
Xiao Hai was stunned for a moment, then he nodded nervously, "Yes, because things were urgent at the time, and I didn't know who to tell. I wanted to tell you, but you were in a meeting that day."
"Plus, a lot of people came over that day to get raw materials for processing, so I let them take the good ones away first. I went directly to Yan Li'an to tell him about the rest and asked him for a solution. I don't know how it got to this point. Did you have a fight with him?"
Looking at the innocent look on his face, and what he said was indeed reasonable, Su Jinhui could not find any fault with it.
After all, this matter was caused by my own mismanagement, which led to such a low-level problem, and I can't blame others.
"It's okay, I don't blame you, go and get busy first."
Xiao Hai nodded and looked at Su Jinhui with concern.
After leaving Su Jinhui's office, his eyes suddenly became clear.
Even the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and a look of determination appeared on his face.
After he left, he went directly to the military district.
"Chief of Staff, someone wants to see you. It's the man named Xiao Hai who is beside the lady."
Xiao Zheng knocked on the door, then came in to report to Yan Li'an. While he was saying this, his eyes were still looking at the door.
Yan Li'an was already a little upset. He didn't want to deal with so many things, but it was not easy to lose his temper in front of others. "Let him in."
Xiao Zheng nodded. After he left, Xiao Hai walked in. When he saw Yan Li'an, he said directly, "Chief of Staff, did you have a fight with Doctor Su? She didn't seem particularly happy after she went back."
"It's my fault. I shouldn't have reported it to a higher level. Even if this matter was caused by Dr. Su's mismanagement, I think you two are husband and wife after all. You can discuss anything slowly. If you criticize her directly like this, she won't be able to concentrate on her work anymore."
"If you're a magnanimous person, don't hold it against Dr. Su. After all, no one is perfect and everyone makes mistakes. This matter is entirely my fault. I didn't notice the moldy herbs in the warehouse right away. You can report it to your superiors later. It's all my fault. I'll take any responsibility. Don't blame Dr. Su."
Xiao Hai was anxious and pleaded with Yan Li'an.
Unexpectedly, his words made Yan Li'an even angrier. "I just said a few words to her, and she doesn't want to work anymore. When did she become so pretentious?"
"This matter is not your responsibility. Go back. Su Jinhui is your superior. This matter is her mismanagement. Even if she has to take responsibility, it is her business and has nothing to do with you."
When Xiao Hai saw Yan Li'an's cold face, he didn't dare to continue speaking and then left Yan Li'an's office.
After he left, Xiao Zheng stared at his back. He always felt that this person came here deliberately to cause trouble?
It was obvious that Su Jinhui and Yan Li'an were arguing fiercely over this matter, but he still came to plead for Su Jinhui. Isn't this clearly asking Yan Li'an to come to Taiwan in the afternoon?
Since this incident happened, Yan Li'an basically lived in the military dormitory. Although Su Jinhui returned home, she also lived alone.
It seemed that the gap between the two of them was getting deeper and deeper because of this incident. Both sides felt that the other side did not understand them. It was obviously just a small matter, so how could such a big conflict arise?
In the obstetrics ward of the health center, several people in plain clothes were standing next to a pregnant woman. They were looking at the woman with concern. They must be her family members.
Xiao Hai carried the bag of fruit into the ward and said, "Uncle and aunt, Xiao Mei, I'm here to see you."
As soon as Xiao Hai appeared, everyone in the ward smiled happily, "Xiao Hai, why did you buy fruit again?"
"That's right. Didn't I tell you not to buy it? It's not easy for you to earn a little money every day. Why are you still spending it on me?"
The woman on the bed was called Xiaomei. She glared at Xiaohai coquettishly.
"It's okay. My uncle helped me a lot when I was working in the team. Besides, you're pregnant now and will give birth in a few days. Hurry up and eat more fruit. I heard that women in confinement after giving birth have to avoid many foods. It must be very uncomfortable if you can't eat them at that time."
Xiao Hai stared at Xiao Mei's belly for a few seconds, "Xiao Mei, let me peel some fruit for you!"
"No, my appetite hasn't been very good these days, so I want to eat something sour. I see that all your fruits should be sweet, so I'd rather not eat them."
Xiaomei declined politely, "If you want something sour, that's great. I have some freshly picked hawthorns here. They're delicious. Would you like to try some?"
When the other party heard Xiao Hai say this, she couldn't help swallowing her saliva when she thought of the sour taste of hawthorn, "Really? I was just craving something sour. Give it to me quickly."
Xiao Hai nodded, took the hawthorns out of the bag, wiped them with clean toilet paper, and then handed them to Xiao Mei. "Try some. These are all grown by the villagers themselves. I saw they were growing well when I passed by, so I picked a few. I originally wanted to fill my teeth, but since you want to eat them, I'll give them to you."
After Xiaomei took the hawthorn, she took a bite and her mouth suddenly felt sour and astringent, but she didn't think it was unpalatable at all. Instead, she ate it with relish.
In a flash, she had eaten up three or four hawthorns.
"It's really delicious, not too sour, just right for my taste."
Xiaomei's parents were also very happy when they heard this. As the saying goes, sour boy, spicy girl.
Maybe the baby in her belly is a boy.
Otherwise, why would she like sour food so much?
After chatting for a while, Xiaomei suddenly frowned and covered her stomach, "Oh..."
As soon as she made a sound, Xiaomei's mother rushed to her side and asked, "What's wrong, girl? Are you going to give birth?"
"Not so soon, didn't Doctor Su say my due date is at least next week? There's still several days left."
Xiaomei's face showed some pain. She felt her stomach was a little tight, but she couldn't describe the feeling. If she said it hurt, she could still bear it, but if she said it didn't hurt, she would feel uncomfortable.
"How about we call Dr. Su to take a look?"
After hearing what Xiaomei's mother said, Xiaohai suddenly said, "Doctor Si is probably still in a meeting right now. Xiaomei, maybe the hawthorn fruit you ate was too sour, so the baby in your belly is a little uncomfortable for a while."
"Think about whether you've had similar experiences in the past few days. Maybe it's just normal. Why don't you observe it for a while?"
"If you're in so much pain, it's not too late to ask a doctor to come and see you."
After hearing what he said, Xiaomei felt that her stomach pain was not so severe. After a while, she looked up at her parents and said, "I feel much better!"
The two old men looked at each other and said, "Then... observe it for a while longer?"
