Yun Qiao hummed, "If it rains again, I won't go. I'll just ask for leave."
She was also a little scared. The road was so slippery. If she accidentally slipped, the consequences would be unimaginable.
After arriving at No. 6 Hutong, Feng Juan helped Yun Qiao get out of the car and sent her home first.
After the door opened, she didn't go in. She said to Yun Qiao, "You eat first. I'll take the tricycle to the firewood shop."
Yun Qiao said, "Mom, go return the car. We'll have dinner together when you come."
Feng Juan responded, put on her raincoat, and plunged into the rain again.
Yun Qiao entered the house, first changed his coat that was wet by the rain, and poured himself a cup of hot water. The hot water was so hot that he couldn't drink it immediately, so Yun Qiao held the cup and warmed his hands first.
The temperature had just warmed up a few days ago, but today it was raining and the temperature was only in single digits. Walking against the wind all the way, my hands and feet were frozen.
Fortunately, she was dressed warmly, so if she caught a cold, she wouldn't be able to take medicine. She was pregnant, so she couldn't take many medicines and had to endure the illness.
Yun Qiao held the cup to warm it for a while, and his cold fingers felt warm again.
Just then, she heard a noise coming from outside.
The noise came from far away and got closer. There were many people talking loudly. Yun Qiao stood at the door of the main room and listened for a while. However, because the door was closed across the yard and there was a lot of noise outside, Yun Qiao didn't hear clearly what was said outside. He only heard a few obvious words such as "something happened", "notification", "send to the hospital", etc.
The noise lasted for a long time before gradually dying away.
Immediately afterwards, Feng Juan pushed open the gate.
Feng Juan quickly walked into the house and took off her raincoat. Yun Qiao found that her hair was soaked.
Yun Qiao quickly took out a dry towel and handed it to her, asking her to wipe her hair: "Mom, wipe your hair quickly, don't catch a cold."
Feng Juan said "hmm", took the towel, put it on her head and began to wipe her hair.
When he got closer, Yun Qiao realized that not only her hair was wet, but her neck and collar were also wet.
Probably because she was riding the bike in front and facing the wind, the rain poured down her head through the gaps in her raincoat, and then flowed down her neck and into her collar, soaking her clothes.
"Forget it, Mom, you should just change into dry clothes. Wet clothes are uncomfortable on your body."
"Yes." Feng Juan responded, walked into the west room where she lived, and came out after changing into clean clothes.
When she came out, Yun Qiao had already taken the food out of the pot.
There was still some warmth left on the bottom of the wood-burning earthen stove after cooking. Feng Juan finished cooking and went to the clinic to pick her up. More than 20 minutes later, the food in the pot was still hot.
Since there were only two people eating, Feng Juan prepared a simple lunch. The staple food was multi-grain rice steamed with rice, millet and beans. The dishes included scrambled eggs with onions and spicy and sour shredded potatoes.
Feng Juan specially stir-fried the shredded potatoes with dried chilies, which fully stimulated the spicy flavor of the dried chilies in the dish. It was spicy and refreshing in one bite and very appetizing.
Ever since she became pregnant, Yun Qiao has preferred spicy food. She feels that stir-fried dishes are tasteless if they are not spicy. So when eating, Yun Qiao only eats spicy and sour potato shreds and rarely touches scrambled eggs with onions.
Feng Juan said, "Don't just eat spicy food, try some eggs too. They're nutritious."
Yun Qiao hummed, picked up an egg with chopsticks and ate it, then continued to eat shredded potatoes.
Feng Juan shook her head helplessly and had to pick up two eggs with chopsticks and put them into Yun Qiao's bowl to avoid forgetting to pick them up herself.
Yun Qiao smiled sheepishly and said, "Oh, by the way, Mom, when you went out to return the tricycle, there was a huge commotion outside. Did you see anything when you came in? Do you know what the commotion was about?"
Feng Juan nodded. "I know. In Courtyard No. 9 in our alley, there's a niece of Commander Liang who's nine months pregnant. She went out to the bathroom with her belly bulging, and she slipped at the door. She started bleeding all over the floor, and it looks like she's going into premature labor."
