"Sister Jiang, please help me take a look at my child."
Jiang Wenwan quickly stepped forward to examine her body.
"You did bleed quite a bit, but the baby is fine. I'll give you a progesterone injection."
I will come to see you for the next seven days. I promise you will be fine with me here!
You too, you're pregnant and you're still arguing with them.
Anyway, your husband Xu is doing work by herding horses, it's not like he's not doing any work.
"Don't bother with them next time. If they dare to lay a hand on you, tell me and Sister Song, they've gone too far!"
Aunt Xu nodded; the baby was saved, and she felt a great sense of relief.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Those people are awful."
But after this experience, I don't think they'll come again.
Jiang Wenwan could tell from her appearance that she was too ill to cook.
"You'd better stay in bed and rest for the next few days, and don't get out of bed to do any work."
By the way, how many of your geese are male and how many are female?
Since you're like this, I'll kill one for you to replenish your strength.
Goose meat is beneficial for replenishing qi and nourishing deficiency. It is neutral in nature, sweet in taste, and enters the spleen and lung meridians.
"Goose meat is excellent for nourishing qi and blood, warming the stomach, and promoting the production of body fluids. Since you are currently weak and deficient in qi and blood, it is most suitable for you to nourish your body."
Hearing that they were going to eat goose, Old Xu's wife hesitated, feeling a little reluctant to part with it.
Seeing her hesitate, Song Dandan quickly said:
What are you still hesitating about?
Which is more important, you and the baby in your belly, or that goose?
When geese grow up, aren't they just meant to be eaten by humans?
I'll go out and catch one right now, kill it, and give it to you to nourish your body.
True to her word, Song Dandan rolled up her sleeves and headed to the backyard.
“Sister Jiang, you don’t need to lift a finger, I’ll do the killing. I’m just afraid I won’t do it well.”
Hearing her say that, Sister Xu nodded and said:
"Then I'll have to trouble you."
"Don't mention it, we'll go out and kill a goose for you!"
After Jiang Wenwan and she left, Song Dandan was still a little worried and asked in a low voice:
"Are Old Xu's wife and child really alright?"
"It's alright, I'm here, both mother and child are safe."
Song Dandan touched her chest.
"That's good, that's good."
I was terrified. If something had happened, how could I explain it to Lao Xu?
This time, it's all thanks to you.
I originally went to the infirmary to find the military doctor, but he wasn't there.
Only Yingzi, a little girl, was there.
It was said that Wang Jinfeng was injured at the cultural troupe, and the military doctor Song rushed over to treat her.
Isn't that nonsense?
Are there no military doctors in the military region?
Why would he bother traveling all that way?
Jiang Wenwan was surprised.
"Wang Jinfeng is injured?"
How did she get injured?
"I don't know. I only overheard it. Yingzi doesn't know either."
Upon hearing that Wang Jinfeng was injured, Doctor Song became extremely anxious and rode off on horseback in a flash.
He was the only doctor at the military clinic, and now that he's gone, I can't find him, so I have to come looking for you.
Jiang Wenwan clicked her tongue.
"Will Dr. Song be punished this time?"
"Dereliction of duty!"
Upon hearing this, Song Dandan's eyes lit up, and she clicked her tongue twice.
"You know what, it's really true."
The two arrived at the goose pen, and Sister Song found a male goose and was about to catch it.
The goose was quick-witted; it spread its wings, flapped them, and ran off with a loud cry.
Sister-in-law Song chased after them, and when the other geese saw this, they also spread their wings and ran, causing their feathers to fly everywhere.
Jiang Wenwan stood still, and in a moment, she grabbed a goose by the neck.
"Gotcha!"
Song Dandan looked on with amusement at the gander being choked by Jiang Wenwan.
"You're quick-witted and agile; let's see how it runs this time!"
He grabbed the goose by the neck and twisted it close to its head.
That goose died completely.
"Come on, I'll go boil some water, let's stew this goose."
After her male geese had fulfilled their duties, she would also make a heartwarming and filling stewed goose in an iron pot.
"I heard that goose meat is thick and difficult to stew. I've never stewed it before. Do you know how?"
Jiang Wenwan rolled up her sleeves.
"I can, I'll do it."
"Then I'll start the fire. Just tell me whether you want it too big or too small!"
Jiang Wenwan first used the oil from the goose itself to roast the oil.
Add some more lard, and you'll have enough oil to start frying.
The main reason was that they knew they were quite frugal with oil, so they poured in the chopped goose meat that Sister Song had prepared and stir-fried it.
When the rice is golden brown, add hot water. Fortunately, they have two stoves, one for steaming rice, so we used that to boil water first.
A pot of hot water was poured in, just enough to cover the goose meat.
"Does Sister Xu have any potatoes at home?"
"There must be. I'll go ask."
A moment later, Sister Song came over and pulled out a few potatoes from a corner of the kitchen, saying:
How many do you want here?
Three!
Potatoes provide starch, which makes the stewed goose meat taste even better, and the potatoes also become soft and fluffy.
I can't get enough of rice soaked in soup.
"It needs to be stewed for one or two hours, and then left to simmer."
When will Lao Xu and the others be back from their horse-herding trip?
"That's uncertain; it could take anywhere from ten days to half a month."
Jiang Wenwan was speechless and couldn't help but sigh, "It's really difficult!"
"Given Sister Xu's condition, she shouldn't get out of bed too often; it would be best for her to rest quietly on the kang (heated brick bed)."
Song Dandan replied without hesitation:
"It's alright, I've been coming here a couple of days to lend a hand."
It was my fault today too. I went up and argued with them. I should have protected her and not gone up to argue with them. As a result, we…
