Chapter 71 Dumplings
After so many experiments, before the beginning of winter, the Parkinson's assistive device was finally fully perfected.
Just the day before the beginning of winter, Wang Hao came to see Bai Mengmeng.
"Master, how about you come with me to look for that old lady tomorrow? I want to give her this Parkinson's device, but I'm embarrassed to go alone."
"No problem. We'll be closed at noon tomorrow." Bai Mengmeng agreed without giving it much thought. "The weather is getting colder. I'll buy some clothes and shoes tomorrow and bring them over."
The next day was the beginning of winter, and the two of them pushed their assistive devices and headed to the town.
There are many grocery stores and clothing stores in Guihua Alley next to the vegetable market. Bai Mengmeng didn't choose specifically and just found a children's store.
I roughly described my height to the clerk, and he quickly picked out a few sweaters and selected two small cotton jackets.
Bai Mengmeng originally wanted to bargain hard, but the boss lady gave her a very reasonable price.
This made Bai Mengmeng secretly happy. Could it be that she was becoming more and more approachable, as she was given such a big discount without even asking.
He paid with a smile and carried the things out the door, with Wang Hao pushing the assistive device from behind.
After the two men left, a trace of pity flashed in the female clerk's eyes.
"The little girl is so pitiful. Her husband is already paralyzed at such a young age, and she has to raise a daughter alone. I can't bear the thought of making money from such a man."
…
In the Osmanthus Alley, Bai Mengmeng got familiar with the route and found the door to her previous room.
The yard door seemed not to be closed, and Bai Mengmeng was shouting loudly at the door.
"Is Xiaoqiu home?"
Soon, a childish voice sounded from inside the door, and the sound of brisk footsteps was clearly audible: "Yes, yes, who is it?"
When I opened the door, Xiaoqiu's innocent face appeared before my eyes.
"You... the big sister who came here to pick osmanthus flowers before? But now the osmanthus flowers are out of season and there are no more for sale."
"We're not here to buy anything. This older brother made an instrument and wants your grandma to try it out." Bai Mengmeng laughed and pointed at Wang Hao behind her: "Can you explain it?"
Wang Hao scratched his head embarrassedly and pushed the assistive device forward.
There was a noise in the house. Xiaoqiu's grandmother heard the noise outside and came out tremblingly carrying a chair. When she saw the two people outside, her face became a little surprised.
"What happened? What are you doing here? Why don't you come in first? It's cold outside."
Wang Hao pushed the assistive device and Bai Mengmeng held the cotton jacket, and the two walked into the house.
"Indeed, there is something wrong. When we came here before, we saw that you were not feeling well, so I took the initiative to make you an assistive device to make it easier for you to walk."
Wang Hao introduced the assistive device and then demonstrated it himself, explaining its function clearly.
Grandma Xiaoqiu was stunned and her eyes began to turn red.
"I feel like this thing is really expensive, you should take it, I don't want yours."
Bai Mengmeng secretly put the clothes in the house and explained with a smile.
"It's true that this happened a bit unexpectedly, but it's not very convenient for you to walk. Xiaoqiu is not very old, and it's not convenient for you to take care of her like this. You should give it a try."
Wang Hao also persuaded him: "This is free. I made it myself. I found the materials at the scrap yard. As long as you don't mind, it's fine. It's actually not worth much."
Grandma Xiaoqiu became more and more moved.
"No, no, I don't mind at all. It's just that you guys are helping me like this... I don't know how to thank you enough."
The two of them waved their hands cheerfully and said not to worry about it.
After some persuasion, Grandma Xiaoqiu finally gave up the chair in her hand and began to try the Parkinson's assistive device tremblingly.
This thing is indeed unique.
It didn't look big, but it was extremely heavy and very stable. She held it with her hands, and for some reason, she felt her body wasn't shaking as much.
Before, she was afraid of falling so she didn’t dare to walk. Now with the laser, she can follow the light spots and everything feels much more normal.
After all, she was not in her seventies or eighties. After adapting to it a few times, she learned how to walk with the assistive device, and it became smoother and smoother. She looked no different from an ordinary person.
"Oh, grandma, you're fine! You can walk now!"
Xiaoqiu was also very excited: "I don't have to worry about you falling anymore!"
The two people were so excited that they burst into tears. Bai Mengmeng was also touched by this scene. She turned her head and saw Wang Hao, with a head of yellow hair, standing there without saying a word. His eyes were slightly red, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
When she reached the stairs, the assistive device still helped her body to take steps forward. Grandma Xiaoqiu was so serious that she couldn't stop smiling.
"This thing is amazing! It really helped me a lot. Boy, you're amazing!" She held Wang Hao's hand tightly and said, "Today is the beginning of winter. You must not leave later. I want to make dumplings, lots and lots of dumplings. Please be sure to stay and eat dumplings!"
Wang Hao glanced at Bai Mengmeng, and Bai Mengmeng did not hesitate.
"no problem."
…
Because Parkinson's disease doesn't just affect the legs, it also affects the hands.
Fortunately, Grandma Xiaoqiu takes medicine regularly, so her shaking is not very severe and does not affect her dumpling making.
Although it doesn’t look particularly good, the filling is very generous and almost every dumpling is plump.
Bai Mengmeng sniffed it and said, "I haven't eaten dumplings in a long time since I came here. It seems that people don't eat dumplings during the beginning of winter here."
Maybe because she was happy today, Grandma Xiaoqiu started talking again.
"My husband is from the north and loves to eat dumplings. I even learned how to make them from someone else. I don't have much talent for other dishes, but I'm a real genius at making dumplings. Everyone in this alley says my dumplings are delicious."
"Really? I must eat more later." Wang Hao laughed and looked at Bai Mengmeng: "She is not very good at making dumplings, and the buns are ugly, but the wontons she makes are quite delicious, and they taste very fragrant."
Bai Mengmeng snorted coldly: "That was in the past. My skills have improved now!"
She was not willing to give up and helped them roll out the dumpling wrappers, but she didn't know how to do it at first.
However, as time goes by, the quality of the dumplings has become more and more standardized, and the dumpling skins have become more and more uniform.
The last time I made cowpea buns, I had everything prepared, but they turned out really ugly.
But in the past six months, no matter how hard she tried, her body coordination ability was greatly improved, and she didn't know what changes had taken place in her body.
If I give her another chance to make dumplings again, they will definitely look great!
