Chapter 1031 Trouble
Lu Miao put down his things and locked the door.
Holding the little tail that had been following behind me, I walked up the outer stairs of the garden to the small second-floor terrace.
Most of the cacti with cochineal insects brought back from the south were strung together and hung up.
For the few individual pieces, Lu Miao carefully planted them in flower pots and usually placed them in a corner of the terrace.
On the way back to northern Beijing, another batch of cochineal was lost.
The remaining residue was even more wilted.
Lu Miao was worried that he would not survive.
Now that she came to take a closer look, she could finally put her mind at ease.
Maybe the climate and temperature in northern Beijing in summer are not bad.
Among the shriveled and wilted cochineal insects, you can actually see a few with plump white bodies.
This shows that the condition of the cochineal has gradually stabilized and it can absorb nutrients from the cactus normally.
It's a good sign.
Lu Miao just took a look.
Afraid that the little bad boy Baichuan would cause trouble, Lu Miao quickly took the children downstairs to find Tang Mei.
When visiting Gu Ying, you definitely can't go empty-handed.
There are still some Codonopsis pilosula and deer antler slices that Geng Xiaoyun sent to us at home, apart from the ones used to make medicine for He Hongjin.
Lu Miao packed a little of each.
Compared to these people, Gu Ying has a light taste.
Lu Miao guessed that Gu Ying would not tolerate heavy oil at this time, so he just followed his own preferences.
Lu Miao had agreed with Tang Mei in advance to kill a chicken, so he got up early the next morning when he heard the noise.
The codonopsis slices and red dates were prepared yesterday.
Tang Mei cooked the chicken and chopped it into small pieces. Lu Miao also lit the stove, so they put the chicken directly into the can and simmered it slowly over low heat.
In the intervals between cooking and eating, the chicken soup is cooked just right.
It doesn't matter if there is a little oil on the surface of the chicken soup.
Because it is a tender chicken, unlike an old hen, it is more fragrant with a little fat.
When filling the thermos, Lu Miao thought of something and said:
"When you have time, buy two of these thermoses and send them back home."
Fu Jingyou understood her intention after a brief thought and nodded gently:
"good."
Minjie and Minrui bring their lunch to school in lunch boxes. Not only does it go bad easily in the summer, but they can't even have a hot meal when it's cold.
If I had a thermos, the situation would be much better...
Fu Jingyou drove Lu Miao to the hospital.
After agreeing to pick her up at the courtyard in the afternoon, Fu Jingyou turned the steering wheel and went to do other things.
I stopped by this time to see if I could get the phone moved.
Lu Miao stood at the hospital entrance, holding a thermos bucket and waving, and only went upstairs after he walked away.
After asking Chen Xiangdong for Gu Ying's ward information yesterday, Lu Miao went upstairs and found the place.
Gu Ying was leaning against the head of the bed holding her child, she must have just woken up.
Xie Fei hurriedly pulled out the washbasin from under the bed and was pouring water into it to help her wash.
Lu Miao walked in and said:
"You haven't eaten yet?"
"Lu Miao."
"Xiaobao."
Gu Ying smiled and nodded as a greeting.
Xie Fei put down the thermos and quickly moved all the things piled on the chair next to him to the side to make room for Lu Miao to sit.
"Don't worry, I'll just come over to take a look and leave. I have something else to do."
Lu Miao waved his hand and sat down beside the bed.
After unscrewing the lid of the thermos and preparing chopsticks on the bedside table, Lu Miao reached out and took the child from Gu Ying's arms:
"You wash up and eat something first. I'll help you watch the child for a while."
"Um."
Gu Ying was confident in her and immediately moved slowly towards the bed.
Seeing this, Xie Fei hurried over to help her:
"Just sit here and don't move. I'll bring it to you and wash it."
"fine."
"I feel fine. There are no restrictions on activities. Don't make such a fuss."
Lu Miaogang just wanted to ask Gu Ying how she felt!
Seeing this, Lu Miao tapped the baby's tender little face and looked at Gu Ying and said:
"You're in pretty good shape. I was in pain for several days after giving birth."
Gu Ying wrung out the towel and wiped her face, then jokingly said:
"I used to feel uncomfortable when I was pregnant, but now that I'm pregnant, I really feel much more comfortable."
Then he looked at the baby and said:
"I've already chosen a name. It's Xie Ni."
Lu Miao smiled and said, "I knew it a long time ago. Xiangdong told me yesterday when he came to my place. You two are really fast."
Gu Ying chuckled and said frankly that she had thought about it a long time ago.
Xie Fei felt a little embarrassed by the teasing.
After Gu Ying sat down to eat, Xie Fei changed the subject and said:
"Xiaobao, do you think Xiaoni is pretty?"
Lu Miao looked down at the baby.
The baby's skin is red and wrinkled.
It's almost the same as when Mingyi and Baichuan were born.
Lu Miao couldn't help but complain in his heart that the child was "ugly" even though he was related to him by blood, not to mention that this child was not his own.
But you can’t say other people’s children are ugly, right?
How rude is that?
Lu Miao was silent for a moment, then nodded seriously and said:
“It’s quite pretty.”
Xie Fei believed it and stood beside her, looking at her daughter sleeping in her arms, smiling foolishly.
Gu Ying seemed to see what Lu Miao was thinking. She looked at Xie Fei with amusement and said:
"Newborn babies are all the same. Their eyes haven't even opened yet, so how can you tell what's good-looking or not?"
Xie Fei said with certainty:
"It looks good, I can recognize Xiao Ni."
Gu Ying ignored him and talked to Lu Miao while drinking chicken soup:
"This soup is really delicious. Thank you and Aunt Tang Mei for your hard work. You've just moved and you're already busy, but you still have to take time out to come see me."
"I'm busy, but not that busy. I can still find some time."
Gu Ying knew that Lu Miao didn't like to be polite, but what she said was not entirely polite.
She has been having a hard time eating in the hospital these past two days.
At first, Yang Yun made it and sent it over.
Later, Xie Fei expressed his intention not to let Yang Yun interfere in the child's affairs.
Whenever Yang Yun came back later, she would always find something to nitpick and nag for a long time.
Xie Fei didn't even want her to send him meals.
These past two days I've been buying it ready-made at state-owned restaurants.
The prices for meat dishes in state-owned restaurants are generally very good, and the ingredients are generally very good.
But after all, it’s not made for home, so I don’t handle it that carefully.
Gu Ying's sense of taste is still sensitive. She can't eat oily food, nor can she eat food with a fishy smell.
I was afraid that the child would be hungry in the future, so I had been forcing food into his stomach these past two days.
The chicken soup that Lu Miao brought over not only smelled fragrant, but was also refreshing and sweet. The chicken meat came down easily in one sip, and the texture wasn't dry at all.
It really did save Gu Ying temporarily.
Gu Ying also knew Lu Miao.
Lu Miao doesn't like chicken soup.
Once you want to drink it, you must choose young chickens that have not yet laid eggs.
After freshly slaughtered, simmer on the stove over the lowest heat for two hours. Not only is the chicken delicious, but the soup is also fresh and sweet.
This soup is probably made in the same way.
Gu Ying felt very emotional.
People often say that soup made from old hens is the most nourishing, and maybe it’s true!
But for her, only food that can be eaten safely can truly nourish her.
Lu Miao really took the trouble to come here this time.
