Chapter 148 Sudden Blindness
Du Shaojie then helped Su Dapeng carry water several times before riding his bike home for dinner.
"So early today?"
Wang Yuxiu was quite surprised to see him come back, as she usually came home at around five o'clock.
"It's a holiday today, so there are many old customers. In addition, Manager Zhao went there, so he bought 10 chickens by himself. Isn't that fast? If it weren't for the fact that two customers who had made reservations came late, they would have come back early."
Du Shaojie said a few simple words and sat down to eat.
Wang Yuxiu nodded, also feeling a little regretful. If the production could keep up, wouldn't the daily sales double? She planned to move back to Chunfeng Lane after her eldest daughter finished the college entrance examination, so that she could help Su Dapeng after closing the store in the afternoon.
Du Shaojie didn't put all his thoughts on doing business. He took a nap after dinner, and when he got up, he plunged into the scene of the simulated chef skills competition.
After such a long period of precipitation, he chose the simulated chef skills competition (Group B2).
Group B2 is the special second-level chef group, which is undoubtedly a lot more difficult. Du Shaojie was defeated in the first game, which made him a little depressed.
Knowing shame leads to courage, so he continued to gain experience.
Du Shaojie then entered the simulation training scene, and while practicing, he asked the chefs (technicians) in the scene for advice. The chefs told him everything they knew and helped him to find out the gaps from all angles.
The purpose is not to participate in the competition, but to find and solve problems in the process of participating in the competition and strive to improve his skills.
In the evening.
Xiaoya said she wanted to eat cold noodles, so Du Shaojie went to change some noodles and started cooking.
Cold noodles are easy to make, but if you want to make them delicious, you have to work hard on the sauce. His level of seasoning is naturally impeccable, and even the signature cold noodles of the Chinese restaurant in Guangyuan Hotel use the seasoning formula he provided.
If you make this at home, the seasoning will be slightly different. How to say it, it is more down-to-earth and more in line with the tastes of Xiaomei and Xiaoya.
Du Shaojie prepared the sauce and cut some cucumber shreds.
Finally, he fried a plate of [Stir-fried barbecue], and the family started to eat dinner.
In recent years, the family's food has been getting better and better. From not having enough food to eat and having to exchange fine grains for coarse grains, to now being able to eat meat from time to time, it all depends on Du Shaojie's cooking skills.
With his cooking skills, he started as a third-level chef and became a first-level chef, and his salary increased a lot. In addition, he also earned a lot of extra money by helping people prepare banquets outside with his cooking skills.
Part of the extra income and part of the reward are invested in the family, so the food will naturally not be bad.
"Brother, everything you cook is delicious!"
Xiaoya ate very happily, and at the same time did not forget to flatter her brother.
The little girl has many advantages, and the biggest advantage is undoubtedly her sweet mouth.
"Yes, brother is a chef."
Xiaomei's words are sincere. In her eyes, her brother is the embodiment of omnipotence and the most powerful chef.
Wang Yuxiu looked at the interaction between the three brothers and sisters with a smile, feeling very relieved. The relationship between the three of them has always been very good. The eldest brother set an example for the younger sisters, and the younger sisters are also proud of the eldest brother.
"Bang bang bang!"
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, which sounded a little hurried.
Du Shaojie got up and opened the door, and then saw Wang Liwen, who looked flustered.
"Liwen, what happened? Come in and tell me."
Du Shaojie was also a little nervous. He knew Wang Liwen's character very well. If she hadn't encountered a big thing, she would never have this expression.
"Come with me for a while! Auntie, I have something to do
with Shaojie. I'll come to see you next time." Wang Liwen didn't go into the house. She said hello to Wang Yuxiu and hurried downstairs with Du Shaojie.
When they reached a secluded place downstairs, she said:
"A group of wounded were transferred to the hospital this afternoon, all from the south line. They have been well treated before, and our hospital mainly conducts restorative treatment. Shaojie, don't get excited. I saw Meiqin among the wounded."
Du Shaojie felt his head "buzzing", as if his brain's thinking was stagnant.
It's really true that good things don't work, but bad things work. What he had been worrying about turned out to be a reality, which made him unable to accept it for a while.
"Meiqin's condition is fine. Anyway, you can go and see her yourself."
Wang Liwen didn't know what to say, and then asked Du Shaojie to take her directly to the hospital on his bike.
Du Shaojie was silent all the way. When he arrived at the hospital, he even ran upstairs without locking his bike. It was Wang Liwen who locked the bike for him and then took him to the intensive care unit.
In the corridor, Du Shaojie and Wang Liwen met Liang's father and mother.
Liang's mother cried so hard that she had to suppress her crying so as not to affect others.
Liang's father swallowed his tears and sighed to the sky. Both of them could not accept the fact that Meiqin was injured.
Du Shaojie did not disturb them. Wang Liwen went to negotiate with the intensive care in the ward, and he was allowed 15 minutes of visiting time.
The ward was a single room, which should be a cadre ward.
Du Shaojie held his breath and slowly walked to the bed.
Liang Meiqin was wearing a hospital gown and stared at the ceiling with a dull look. When she heard footsteps, she turned her head, but there was still no light in her eyes.
Du Shaojie had a bad feeling and whispered, "Meiqin."
"Is that Shaojie? It's nice that you came to see me."
The expression on Liang Meiqin's face suddenly became lively, and her right hand stretched forward, as if she wanted to grab something.
Du Shaojie quickly squatted down and grabbed her hand.
"It's me! Meiqin, you have returned to your hometown. Don't think about anything first, take good care of yourself, and I will make you a delicious meal tomorrow at noon."
"Yes, I'm finally back. Shaojie, I can't see with my eyes, but I'm not afraid. When I'm discharged from the hospital, can you take me to the park to play? I've really had enough of lying in bed."
Liang Meiqin took the initiative to tell Du Shaojie about her situation without waiting for Du Shaojie to ask.
She was in a severe coma due to a head injury, and she couldn't see when she woke up a few days later. After withdrawing from the southern line, after a consultation with experts, it was determined that she had sudden blindness and suspected that the optic nerve was damaged.
After a period of treatment, the effect was not good.
Liang Meiqin chose to retire, and then the relevant department sent someone to send her back to her hometown. As soon as she got off the train, she was directly arranged to go to the People's Hospital for rehabilitation treatment.
"Don't worry, I'll take you out to play often when you get home."
Tears flowed silently, and Du Shaojie felt an indescribable pain in his heart.
But he had to force himself to be energetic, and secretly wiped away the tears when the other party was not paying attention.
Fifteen minutes passed quickly, Du Shaojie asked Liang Meiqin to have a good rest, and said that he would come to bring her lunch tomorrow at noon, and then left the ward.
At this time, Wang Liwen just came out of the doctor's office and winked at Du Shaojie. Du Shaojie understood immediately, went to comfort Liang Meiqin's parents, and then went downstairs with Wang Liwen.
"I asked Meiqin's attending physician, her condition is relatively rare. There is no effective treatment in the country at present, at least we can't treat it here.
The doctor said that Meiqin's vision may never recover, and maybe one day she will suddenly see the light, which has precedents before. In short, don't hold too much hope, the only thing you can do is pray for a miracle to happen."
Wang Liwen is a doctor and speaks more directly.
Du Shaojie couldn't accept the reality of Meiqin's blindness, but what could he do?
"Sister Liwen, I understand."
"Shaojie, Meiqin is a hero. I heard that she was awarded the third-class merit. I think she must have made great sacrifices. I will figure it out later. She shocked me so much!"
The two parted at the hospital, and Du Shaojie returned home with a heavy heart.
The next day.
In the morning.
Du Shaojie found Dong Yunxian and discussed with him: "Master Dong, I have to go to the hospital to deliver meals at noon recently. You should take more responsibility for lunch, and I will do more for dinner."
"It's a small matter! You go and do your own thing. We can do it."
Dong Yunxian didn't care at all. With him and Sanzao in the restaurant, they could handle it under normal circumstances. If they were really too busy, wasn't there Chef Wang Xuejun?
He thought that Du Shaojie's family was sick and hospitalized, so he didn't ask much.
Du Shaojie made such arrangements not just for Liang Meiqin. Wang Yuxiu is also very busy now. It is indeed a bit tiring to run back and forth and cook at noon.
Besides, Xiaomei is about to take the college entrance examination, and he also wants to try his best to make the family meals better.
After a busy lunch, Du Shaojie went home and made mixed noodles. Liang Meiqin is now in the recovery period, and there are no dietary restrictions. In other words, she can eat any ordinary food.
When he finished cooking, Wang Yuxiu, Xiaomei and Xiaoya also returned home one after another.
"Mom, you guys eat, I'm going to take food to Meiqin."
When he returned home last night, he told Wang Yuxiu about Liang Meiqin, and Wang Yuxiu wiped her tears after listening.
Xiaomei and Xiaoya also wanted to go see Sister Meiqin, but their class schedules were tight, so they could only wait until the weekend.
Du Shaojie quickly arrived at the hospital with his lunch box, and went to Wang Liwen's office first, who was about to get off work. He handed one of the boxes of mixed noodles to Wang Liwen, and then hurried to the ward.
For him, it was no trouble at all to cook for one or two more people.
"Meiqin, I brought you food."
"Shaojie, you're here. I didn't ask my family to come over at noon, and I was waiting for your meal. What delicious food did you make? I can smell the fragrance."
Du Shaojie put the lunch box on the bedside table and opened the lid.
The special nurse wanted to help, but he shook his head and motioned the other party to shake the bed and feed Meiqin himself.
"No, no. Help me set up the small dining table, I can eat by myself."
Liang Meiqin was a little embarrassed, and Du Shaojie didn't care about her. He held the lunch box in one hand and chopsticks in the other hand and sat by the bed.
"Come on, open your mouth."
"It's mixed noodles, I love it."
After taking a bite, Liang Meiqin obviously relaxed.
A lunch box of mixed noodles was quickly eaten, and the special nurse grabbed the lunch box and took it to the bathroom to wash it.
Du Shaojie chatted with Liang Meiqin, cautiously, for fear of touching the other's sad story.
"Shaojie, you don't have to be so careful. I'm not that fragile."
Liang Meiqin had already accepted the reality, at least she wouldn't cry in front of others.
She still looked so heroic, even the smile on her face was exactly the same as before.
