Chapter 206 Fried Meatballs
Lin Xia said goodbye to her sisters-in-law, and seeing that it was almost time, she turned around and went to the school to pick up her children.
The first thing Lin Xia did after returning home was to put the tape in a basin and soak it in soapy water. She felt disgusted with being worn by Zhao Hehua, and she felt uncomfortable if she didn't wash it.
It was not until the next day when the sisters-in-law came to visit that Lin Xia learned about the follow-up. She was a little surprised when she heard it.
It turned out that after arriving at the hospital, Zhao Hehua insisted that she was fine. As a result, Captain Hu insisted on checking her. After the examination, he found that the situation was serious. The doctor said that Zhao Hehua might be too fat, and there might be other reasons, which led to an abnormal fetal position. If it was not adjusted in time, it would be dangerous during the subsequent delivery.
Everyone sighed that it was a good thing that Lin Xia mentioned it yesterday, otherwise no one would have discovered it.
Some sisters-in-law were a little scared because they had seen many women in the countryside who could not survive childbirth, not only adults but also children.
People at this age have no concept of prenatal checkups. They won’t go to the hospital if they feel uncomfortable. Those who are not well off will just give birth at home.
Lin Xia originally just wanted to trick Zhao Hehua, but unexpectedly he ended up doing a good thing. However, he didn't take it to heart and just listened to it.
She checked herself on schedule. Usually, she would go to the hospital every two months or so when Lu Yuxiu was on rest. She had even calculated the due date and was just waiting for the time to come so that she could go to the hospital in advance.
She definitely won't give birth at home. Not to mention anything else, the hygiene issue alone would be unacceptable.
Captain Hu has gone home, as he cannot take so much leave. Zhao Hehua is still in the hospital, with the doctor helping her correct the fetal position. It is unknown when she will return.
After getting the strap back, Lin Xia no longer took the matter to heart. She was busy with other things. She had almost finished drawing the baby carriage and was now busy with the children's high chair, which she also had to make in duplicate.
He drew a bunch of things and wasted a lot of paper. Fortunately, Lin Xia bought a lot of notebooks at the supply and marketing cooperative.
She had wanted to go to the bookstore to buy it, but when she got there she found that the bookstore was closed. After asking, Lin Xia learned that it had been closed for a long time. Thinking of the previous incident and the books that needed to be dealt with urgently, she knew that the boss must have encountered some trouble.
There was nothing she could do except sigh, so she went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some painting books. The bookstore was closed, but the books that the owner had sold at a discount were worth reading, but she had to be careful to hide behind them.
After the painting is finished, I will wait for the day when Lu Yuxiu takes a rest and then send it to Carpenter Wang.
The days passed one by one. After finishing drawing those little things, Lin Xia began to prepare the delivery bag. She was afraid that she would not have enough time to pack it when the time came, so she made preparations in advance.
New Year's Day passed in a hurry. On that day, Lin Xia made a long-awaited big meal. It was a holiday so one had to eat better.
In a few days, the little ones started their vacation. With a child at home, everything became much more lively.
On the Laba Festival, Lin Xia cooked some thick Laba porridge, gave some to a few familiar sisters-in-law, and also received some porridge from other families. The atmosphere of the New Year gradually became stronger.
After a few days, there was often a smell of food wafting through the family quarters. This was because every household was preparing New Year's goods. Although they were used to being frugal in normal times, they had to eat better during the New Year, and the standard for eating better was that there had to be meat.
The meat stalls in the market are crowded during this period. Although the conditions are not good, there are always those who have better conditions. Even those who have no money have to borrow money to have a good New Year.
Lin Xia couldn't squeeze into the meat stall, so she gave some candy and biscuits to the pork seller in advance. You need a ticket to buy these two things, which is considered a big deal. When the owner saw it, his eyes widened and he patted his chest to promise to keep good meat for her.
Lin Xia was frying meatballs at the moment. Lu Yuxiu had brought back the meat in the morning and helped to chop it. He went to the camp after he finished that. Lin Xia was busy frying meatballs at home.
She was from the south in her previous life. During the Chinese New Year, she would watch her grandmother fry meatballs. The fried meatballs were golden in color and looked extremely tempting.
She stood by like a greedy cat, and would steal one with her little hands. Grandma would slap her, and she would lock the fried meatballs in a cupboard, for fear that mice would steal them.
Lin Xia felt that the way she looked when she was a child stealing meatballs was exactly the same as the little guy now, wandering around with his hands behind his back. There was a lot of smoke at this time, and Lin Xia asked An An to go out and play, but she refused to go.
As the meatballs are put into the pan, they make a sizzling sound, and as they are fried at high temperature, the aroma spreads everywhere. Cubed carrots, lotus roots and flour are also added to the meat, so it won’t be so greasy and the taste will be much better.
The little guy was drooling with greed. Lin Xia picked up a pot and put it in an enamel basin. The little guy came over and sniffed hard. He said to Lin Xia sweetly, "Mom, let me taste it for you to see if it's cooked."
The little girl has been in school for half a year and seems to have grown up a lot. Lin Xia wanted to laugh at her clever appearance, but she didn't expose her. "Okay, then you can try one for your mother."
The meatballs were not so hot after being cooled for a while. The little guy held the meatballs in his two little hands and blew on them seriously. After taking a bite, his eyes widened.
He ate it in small bites, and was particularly reluctant to part with the last bite. He rolled his eyes and said to Lin Xia, "Mom, that one is cooked. Let me help you taste this one to see if it's cooked."
Lin Xia tried hard to hold back her laughter. It was so adorable looking at the little guy making excuses.
"Then try another one." Lin Xia teased her. Although the meatballs were oily, it was okay to eat one or two.
The little girl was delighted when she heard that her mother agreed. It seemed that her mother didn't realize that she was the one who wanted to steal food.
He carefully took another one, ate it slowly, and nodded to Lin Xia, "Mom, this one is cooked too."
"Really? Thank you, baby." Lin Xia immediately responded before the little guy could say the next sentence.
An An was just about to ask her mother if she wanted to try it again, but was interrupted by her mother's words. She had a disappointed expression on her face, which made Lin Xia smile.
The little guy didn't go out either. He just sat on the chair by the fire, staring at the bowl of meatballs.
Until another pot was scooped up, the little guy jumped off the stool and ran over, "Mom, mom, let me taste it for you to see if it's cooked."
The little baby voice was almost full of diligence.
"It's okay, don't bother the baby, I'll just try it myself." Lin Xia picked up a meatball as if she was bothering her. The little guy's eyes were glued to it and he couldn't take his eyes off it. His little mouth was smacking as if he was savoring the taste.
Lin Xia passed the meatball to her mouth, paused, and then passed it to the little guy, "Mommy doesn't want to eat it now, baby, please help me try."
The little guy's eyes widened as he looked at the meatball in front of him.
