Chapter 143
Looking at Zhang Chaoyang who was sleeping soundly, Xu Di's heart was relieved. Anyway, my life was saved.
The hot weather was hard to get used to, so Xu Di washed the clothes he had taken off.
Zhang Chaoyang couldn't eat for the time being, but Xu Di had already found out that the hospital cafeteria had a special stove that was rented to patients' families.
Thinking that Comrade Zhang Chaoyang was still naked, Xu Di took out the needle and thread and cloth he had bought and prepared to make a pair of big shorts.
For simple shorts, Xu Di didn't even need to draw lines. He just measured the size with his hands and quickly cut a pair of shorts with scissors.
There was no sewing machine, so Xu Di threaded the needle and started sewing by hand.
Xu Di is good at needlework, and the stitches are fine and neat.
It’s not very difficult to sew a pair of long shorts that reach above the knees.
These manual labors are difficult if you don’t know how to do them, but they are not difficult once you know how to do them.
After sewing the trouser legs, an elastic band needs to be put on the waist. Xu Di has to sew two sides about a finger's width so that the elastic band can be put in.
The waistband was sewn quickly, and Xu Di found a pin and threaded it onto the elastic band.
There are openings on both sides of the waistband. The pin is passed through the opening, and the pin moves forward with the elastic band until it comes out from the opposite side of the entrance.
When Xu Di was wiping Zhang Chaoyang's body, he already knew his approximate waist circumference.
Xu Di left the elastic band a certain length, cut off the excess, and then sewed the two ends with needle and thread.
Okay, a pair of big shorts is ready.
Xu Di filled a large teacup with hot water and ironed the seams. It looked nice and straight.
“Puff, puff…”
Xu Di was admiring his own work when he was interrupted by a series of sounds.
"Zhang Chaoyang, you farted, and it was a series of farts that woke you up!"
Xu Di’s words made Zhang Chaoyang feel a little uncomfortable.
There is still one string left. Should I put it in or not?
"You stay here for now. I'll go ask the doctor if we can eat now that the gas has been discharged."
Xu Di was so happy that she didn't notice Zhang Chaoyang's shyness and ran out in a hurry.
The moment the door was closed, there was a series of popping sounds, and I don’t know if Xu Di heard it or not.
"Doctor, Comrade Zhang Chaoyang has passed gas. Can I make him something to eat?"
"The gas has been discharged, that's good, try some liquid food. Make some chicken soup, fish soup, etc. Don't eat rice or steamed buns for now. You can make some dumpling soup tomorrow.
Take it step by step and don't eat too much at once.
The bullet almost hit the heart, and the wound on the stomach is also quite big, so you have to be careful.
In Deputy Captain Zhang's case, he will have to stay in the hospital for at least a month. ”
The attending physician told me some precautions and also wrote me a note for sick allowance.
"Deputy Captain Zhang has lost too much blood and had a thoracotomy. During this time, make more nutritious food.
This is the hospital's nutritional subsidy. You can exchange it for some tickets for nutritional products. ”
Xu Di took it and thanked the doctor.
At this time, many supplies were in short supply, and even if you had money, you might not be able to buy things.
After coming out of the doctor's office, Xu Di returned to the ward.
"Oh, I forgot to ask if Zhang Chaoyang can wear shorts."
Xu Di had already entered the ward when she remembered this matter. She muttered to herself and planned to ask the doctor again when he came to check on her in the morning.
It’s been several days since we last saw it, so one more day won’t make a difference.
"Chaoyang, the doctor said you can eat some liquid food. Drink some water first. Wait a minute. After you finish the injection, I'll go around and see if there's any chicken for sale. I'll make you a pot of chicken soup."
The doctor said that you lost too much blood and had a thoracotomy, so you need to supplement your nutrition well.
I asked and found out that the hospital cafeteria has a stove that can be rented, so I can have chicken soup in the evening. ”
While feeding Zhang Chaoyang some water, Xu Di told him the doctor's instructions and his own plans.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, wife.
Have you called home? Is grandma okay? Is Nuannuan still crying? ”
"I'll go to the post office later. Grandma didn't know you were in a coma. I told her you're out of danger.
The doctor said you will have to stay in the hospital for at least a month. Even after being discharged from the hospital, you still need to rest.
Zhang Chaoyang, in that case, can you go home and recuperate? ”
Xu Di thought that he had a fractured thigh bone, more than ten stitches on his stomach, and a wound on his chest.
The whole body is torn and patched up, and it must be healed.
Otherwise, you will suffer in the future.
“It’s not clear yet. I’ll ask the military leaders when they come.
Wife, after returning from this mission, I was going to go back to Beijing in June or July.
I'm going back to school for two years and attend military school for further studies. Unexpectedly, an accident happened and I got injured. ”
“Okay, wait for the leader and ask yourself.
I know the army has confidentiality regulations, and I won’t ask how you got injured.
You know it yourself. The injury this time is so serious that you must take good care of yourself.
Only after you recover can you return to the army. If you don't take good care of yourself, you will suffer when you get old. ”
Xu Di doesn't want to spend his old age pushing an old man in a wheelchair around.
"Got it, I will take good care of it and won't hold you back.
I can't take care of you and your mother when I'm young, and then when I'm old, I still need you to take care of me.
I will exercise well, and when I retire, I will take care of you. ”
"Okay, remember what you said."
Xu Di hopes that one day, she will live a wonderful and carefree old age.
"Chaoyang, how are you? I heard you're alive?"
Along with the voices, several men in military uniforms pushed the door open and came in.
“Old Kong, I can’t die.
Hello, Chief! ”
When Zhang Chaoyang saw the leader coming in from behind, he lay down and saluted.
"Rest well and get well soon."
“Yes, Chief.
Wife, go shopping, let's chat. ”
"Okay, keep an eye on the IV bottle. I'm going to go shopping."
Xu Di knew that they had something to say, so he went out with the bag.
The society knows that there is a state-owned vegetable market nearby, as well as a supply and marketing cooperative and a non-staple food store.
When she came, she brought nothing but a change of clothes. I don’t know if it’s easy to buy meat here. Do I need a ticket to buy fish?
Xu Di first went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a bamboo basket so that he could pack things in it later.
She planned to take out a chicken from the space and go back to make chicken soup.
However, she had to first understand the local prices and supplies so as not to reveal her true colors.
This place is close to the sea, so there are a lot of seafood, some of which don’t even require a ticket.
Xu Di turned around and had an idea in mind.
There are a lot of seafood here, but not much pork. At this hour, they are already sold out, so you have to get up early to buy some.
We have chickens too, they weigh over three pounds and require a ticket.
Xu Di took a look around and bought a pound of rice. There are two or three rice harvests a year here, so there is no shortage of rice.
Xu Di bought a pound of rice that was similar in shape to the rice in the space, and later smuggled some out of the space.
She had limited food coupons and had to use them sparingly.
I bought some dried mushrooms and will put them in the chicken soup to enhance the flavor.
After buying the things, Xu Di found a blind spot and took out a chicken, ten eggs, three or four pounds of rice, and two or three pounds of cornmeal from the space.
After packing the things and putting them in a bamboo basket, she carried the basket back to the hospital.
Not knowing whether Zhang Chaoyang and the others had finished their discussion, Xu Di went straight to the cafeteria.
I rented a stove from the chef and started killing chickens to make chicken soup.
“The female comrade is quite capable, she dares to kill a chicken.
Wow, your chicken is quite big, it must be about 6 or 7 pounds. Can you finish it in one meal? ”
"We're lucky today. This chicken is the biggest one. Is there a refrigerator in our cafeteria?"
Xu Di also thought that the chicken was too big. Zhang Chaoyang couldn’t eat meat now, so she couldn’t eat much either!
"Comrade, how about this? Give me half a chicken, and I'll leave you some bones and meat tomorrow morning."
"Okay, thank you, Master Zhu."
The two happily reached an agreement, and Master Zhu skillfully chopped the chicken into pieces, giving each of them half.
Master Zhu also helped Xu Di chop her half into large pieces, which he washed and put directly into the pot.
Xu Di was busy stewing chicken soup, and the conversation in Zhang Chaoyang's ward had not yet ended.
