Lin Manman kept delaying time outside, but no matter how much she delayed, the old cow was still very lively, and it took her no more than ten minutes to check it several times!
Lin Manman checked the cow's stomach again and again. The cow was about to get angry. When Li Laonian was worried, he saw that Lin Shouwang hadn't come out yet, so he sighed in his heart and said calmly on the surface:
"I was afraid that the gastric lavage yesterday might harm the calf, so I checked it several times. Now it seems to be fine. The calf is fine, but the cow's belly is not small. I feel that the due date is about next month!"
Li Laonian gave Lin Manman a thumbs up and said admiringly:
"Lin Zhiqing's craftsmanship is beyond reproach. The old cow is due to give birth next month. I'll ask Lin Zhiqing to come and help me then!"
"When this old cow gave birth before, we invited an old veterinarian from the county animal husbandry station. The old veterinarian was very nice and his skills were very good, but who would have thought that he would be reported? Now this veterinarian Yu is really nothing. Every time he comes to give birth, we have to serve him like an ancestor!"
Lin Manman nodded and said:
"Okay, if the old cow shows signs of labor, Uncle Li can have someone call me, and I'll come over to help deliver the cow!"
The delivery was settled, and after seeing the old cow, Li Laonian asked Lin Manman to get on the ox cart, and turned to call Lin Shouwang. Lin Manman let him see something, and shouted at Lin Yintian's door in advance:
"Brother, is your leg feeling better? If it is, let's go!"
When Lin Shouwang heard Lin Manman's call, he quickly stood up and said to Lin Yintian:
"Dad, Manman has reminded me. I'm leaving now and will come to see you another day!"
Lin Yintian said worriedly:
"A leg injury is no different from any other. A broken bone will take a hundred days to heal. You still need to take good care of yourself. Don't rush to see me. Dad is fine here. Come back when you're better!"
Lin Shouwang nodded, and fearing someone might come in, he quickly opened the door and walked out, saying:
"I'll feel much better after a rest. Let's go!"
Lin Manman pretended to complain, but in fact she was explaining for Lin Shouwang:
"Second brother, you are just careless. When you see these cows and sheep, you are so curious about them. Don't you know what's wrong with your legs? You still think your legs are fine!"
Lin Shouwang also nodded and said:
"You guys wouldn't let me get off the bed at home, and I couldn't do anything. I wanted to show you how my leg has recovered today, but who would have thought I would show you how strong it is!"
Li Laonian laughed out loud after hearing this and came to Lin Shouwang's rescue:
"Da Lin is just like your uncle Li. Your uncle Li also loves cows and sheep. Hearing this, your uncle Li almost had a heart attack. If it wasn't for Lin Zhiqing who saved the old cow, I would have been heartbroken!"
Captain Wang curled his lips and said,
"Humph, you don't feel sorry for the old cow. If the two cows, one big and one small, died, I don't know how sad you would be!"
"So, we're eating your chicken today, and you didn't lose anything. If it weren't for Lin Zhiqing from our team, you'd probably be lying on the kang groaning in pain right now!"
Li Laonian did not indulge Captain Wang at all and said:
"Why should I feel bad about giving Lin Zhiqing and the other two a little chicken to eat? What I feel bad about is letting you eat that part!"
The two of them chatted with each other and soon arrived at Li Laonian's house. Li Laonian jumped off the ox cart and greeted:
"Lin Zhiqing, Da Lin and Xiao Lin, come down quickly. This is my home. Don't be polite when you come to my home. Just treat it as your own home!"
When they entered the house, Aunt Li saw them coming and quickly lifted the lid of the pot. She served the food while saying:
"The chicken has been stewed for a long time, just waiting for you to serve it!"
Lin Manman wanted to help serve the dishes, and Aunt Li stepped aside and said:
"No, no, it's not that heavy. Lin Zhiqing, come in quickly. Your uncle Li was nagging about you all night last night!"
"You are so skilled despite your young age. If it weren't for you, the old cow and the calf wouldn't have been saved!"
"If it wasn't too late last night, your uncle Li would have invited you guys to his house for dinner!"
"As soon as I got up this morning, she asked me to kill a chicken and said she wanted to invite you guys over for a meal to show her her gratitude!"
"Hurry up and sit down, hurry up and sit down, auntie has finished everything, just go to the table and eat more!"
Lin Manman saw potato slices fried with bacon, cold dishes mixed with shredded cabbage and vermicelli, stewed gayazi with sauce, and the last one was the main dish, chicken stewed with mushroom vermicelli!
The specifications of these four dishes are quite high, including chicken, fish and meat. Even the vermicelli used in cold dishes is not common. It can be seen that Li Laonian is really grateful. At this time, such dishes are the highest standard for entertaining guests!
Aunt Li saw Captain Wang coming in later and greeted him:
"My in-laws are here too? This damn old man, I asked him to come along, but he insisted that they were not welcome. What a mess, he didn't even prepare any food to go with the wine!"
"My dear brothers, please come to the table and eat some rice to fill your stomach. I will fry some peanuts in the pan and cut two salted duck eggs for you two to drink with!"
Captain Wang was not polite either. He did not see outsiders:
"Okay, then I'll trouble my sister-in-law. The peanuts she fries are delicious, unlike the ones at my house, which get burnt right away. She won't admit it even if I tell her!"
Aunt Li smiled and said:
"If you like it, I'll fry some more and bring you two plates back. It will be convenient to drink with wine later!"
"I wonder if Little Shitou is still making trouble? I've been busy making winter clothes and shoes recently, and I haven't seen the child for more than two months!"
Xiao Shitou is the son of Wang Youde’s second son Xiaolin. He is just half a year old. Aunt Li misses her grandson and her daughter very much.
When Wang Youde mentioned his grandson Xiao Shitou, he immediately smiled and said:
"The child is fine, he has stopped making trouble a long time ago. Now he is Fat Tiger. Sister-in-law, go and see him when you have time. Little Stone has accepted him. It's so interesting!"
When Aunt Li heard this, she asked a few more questions about the child and then went to fry peanuts!
Thinking of frying some and bringing some to Captain Wang and some to Zhiqing Lin, Aunt Li went to the warehouse and got a big basin of peanuts!
Seeing the melon seeds next to the peanuts, Aunt Li thought it would not look good to only bring peanuts to Lin Zhiqing, so she would fry some melon seeds later and give more to Lin Zhiqing!
There is no rush to fry the melon seeds, you can just fry them after dinner. Aunt Li took the peanuts and fried them quickly, then cut 4 salted duck eggs, and put two plates together and served them on the table!
