Chapter 107 Huo Qingci's Doting Wife (Page 1/2)
Some time ago, Huo Qingci learned that his grandfather was coming to live here for a while, so he specifically asked Commander Lu for permission to demolish the kitchen and bathhouse built in the shed in the backyard and rebuild two or three red brick bungalows.
One room for living, one for the kitchen, and a larger bathroom. As long as it didn't cost the hospital money, they would let Huo Qingchi do it.
Fortunately, Huo Qingci took some effort and demolished the thatched kitchen and bathhouse in the backyard.
On November 1, the typhoon suddenly struck, like a ferocious beast, and continued for three days with no sign of stopping.
The wind was howling and the rain was pouring down. The thatched roofs of many people's homes were ruthlessly blown away by the raging wind.
The hospital has recently admitted a large number of patients injured by typhoons.
Huo Qingci heard that someone was unfortunately struck by lightning and lost his life, and another person's house suddenly collapsed while he was sleeping in the middle of the night, killing or injuring his family.
The damage caused by the typhoon far exceeded people's imagination. Everyone felt like a flower ravaged by a storm, helpless and fragile.
Lin Man was panicking, and she was also worried that the adobe house she lived in would collapse.
"Qingci, let Qinghuan live in the new house left for grandpa! We can live in the space anyway."
"Okay, I'll have him pack up and move over later."
"The winter here isn't really that cold, but this typhoon comes so suddenly, and this one is much more severe than the one at the end of September. It's really scary."
"It was really strong. I heard from colleagues that the beach was covered with clams and snails blown in by the typhoon, as well as small fish and shrimp. The wind and rain were so strong that no one went to the beach to pick them up."
Lin Man smiled and said, "I want to go pick it up, but I guess you won't let me go."
"Manman, there are so many seafood in the space, we can't eat them all. I'm definitely worried about you going to the beach with a big belly."
"Well, we can't eat all the seafood in our space, but when you said that there were small piles of seafood on the beach, I couldn't help but want to go and see it."
Lin Man couldn't help feeling sorry when she thought about the many small seafood on the beach that she couldn't pick up.
Huo Qingci shook his head helplessly, "Don't go. When the typhoon abates one day, I'll collect all the free seafood on the beach into my own space, and then keep them in the swimming pool of your villa."
Lin Man was very excited when she heard this. "Really? Are you really going to collect all those free seafood on the beach into your space?"
"I'm afraid you'll secretly take Qinghuan to pick it up. I'll go tomorrow when the typhoon is smaller."
Huo Qingci had a good idea, but unfortunately it was still windy and rainy the next day. He walked to work wearing a raincoat, and ended up being carried away by the wind and falling twice.
Fortunately, he didn't ride a bicycle to work, otherwise, who knows what would have happened to him.
After returning to the hospital, Huo Qingci took off his raincoat and went to the infirmary to treat the wound on his palm.
When Li Mingyu heard that Huo Qingci had fallen, he felt a bit gloating. He couldn't help but sigh, "It's more convenient for us to live here in the dormitory. Even though it's a little small, we don't have to rush to work. Doctor Huo, your home is about two or three miles away from the hospital, right?"
Huo Qingci raised his eyebrows, "It's about 1,400 meters, a little far, but the place is big and quiet.
And last month we demolished all the thatched huts and rebuilt a few new ones."
Li Mingyu thought to himself, if there was no one to take care of him, who would give him that adobe house?
This guy demolished his stilt house and rebuilt it. Now, no matter how strong the typhoon is, his house will not be affected.
He is now married to Huang Yingying, and his wife was found out she was pregnant two days ago. It would be great if the hospital could give Huo Qingci's house to them.
"Doctor Huo, my wife is pregnant and likes to eat spicy and sour food. She really likes the shredded papaya your wife makes. Could you tell me how you make it?"

"Chop the raw papaya into shreds, marinate it with salt, wash it clean, and add some cold seasonings. Don't you locals know how to make it?"
"Everyone does it differently. Yingying said your wife does it particularly well."
What’s the matter? His wife’s cooking is delicious, so he has to make it for them.
Although papayas grow on trees on the island all year round and are not very valuable, Huo Qingci does not intend to do so.
"I'll write down the recipe for the cold papaya salad for you later. You can study it slowly when you get home."
Li Mingyu said, "Okay then. I'll go back and study it slowly."
He muttered to himself, this person is so stingy, one papaya can make a plate of cold papaya shreds, can't they make one for Yingying, papaya is not worth much.
Because of the typhoon, Huo Qingci did not go home for lunch, but got his meal in the hospital cafeteria.
Lin Man had nothing to do at home, so after dinner she made a patchwork quilt for the baby in her belly.
Cut six kinds of small floral fabrics into tofu-sized blocks. Then cut colorful solid-color cotton fabrics into several pieces and sew them together with a sewing machine.
For the side of the quilt that the child would cover himself with, she simply chose light yellow cotton cloth, and also made light green lotus leaf lace around the quilt cover. After the quilt cover was finished, she took it to the washing machine to wash it and set it aside.
She didn't need to prepare a quilt core because there were many children's quilts in the supermarket. If she wasn't afraid of being discovered, she would have taken it out and used it directly.
Since Huo Qinghuan couldn't go out to play at home, Lin Man took out several children's books from the space for him to pass the time.
At 7:30 in the evening, Lin Man was a little anxious because Huo Qingci still hadn't returned. She was about to take Huo Qinghuan to the hospital to see what was going on when Huo Qingci suddenly came back.
"You get off work at 5:30, why are you back so late? You must be working overtime. I almost brought Qinghuan to look for you."
Huo Qingci put down his raincoat and handed it to Huo Qinghuan. He took Lin Man's hand and slowly walked into the room, closing the door casually.
Taking Lin Man into his space, Lin Man looked at the small seafood piled up like a mountain on the grass and screamed excitedly, "Wow, there are so many small seafood!"
"Manman, quickly throw them all into the swimming pool of your villa. If you throw them into the pond, they will probably all die."
"Qingci, did you go to the beach after get off work? Isn't it still raining outside?"
"The typhoon started to subside at four o'clock, and the rain also became lighter. Didn't you ask me to go to the beach to pick up some seafood? I went there after get off work.
Look at this pile of stuff: clams, scallops, oysters, baby squid, crabs, sandworms, mantis shrimp, sea hares, razor clams, spicy snails... all sorts of weird and wonderful things."
"There must be at least 10,000 to 20,000 kilograms of seafood here. Did you collect all the small seafood on the beach?"
"The beach was full of these things, so big you couldn't see the end of it. I just picked up some when no one was around."
Lin Man suddenly grabbed Huo Qingci's hand and looked at it, "What's going on?"
"It was windy and rainy this morning. I was blown away by the wind and fell twice on the way to the hospital."
"Then apply the medicine quickly!"
"It was disinfected this morning, and I used my supernatural powers to heal it myself. The pain has long since subsided. Manman, take the seafood to your space first."
"No, let's get these done tonight. Take a shower first, and I'll go heat up the food for you. Aren't you hungry this late?"
Huo Qingci smiled awkwardly. He was indeed hungry now. As long as his wife was happy, he wouldn't lose any weight even if he skipped a meal.
