Chapter 361 Hospital Examination
After lunch, Zhang An didn’t even take a break, so he went back to the nest to spread grass seeds.
This time Zhang An was no longer sowing alfalfa from the orchard on the mountain, but replaced it with bullwhip seeds.
Because the sheep and deer at home prefer green bullwhip to alfalfa flowers.
This kind of grass grows everywhere in Zhang An and his family, whether on the roadside or in the fields.
Even the grass in the school is covered with bullwhip, which is very soft and comfortable to sit on.
When Zhang An and his friends were young, they went to cut grass to feed the cattle. Their favorite thing was to cut bull grass on the field ridges.
Because this grass is very green and tender, has good palatability, and has a slightly sweet taste when the stems and leaves are tender. Horses, cows, sheep and other livestock at home like it very much.
Usually in spring and summer, as long as the bullwhip grows more luxuriantly on the ridge of someone's field, it will be cut down.
However, bullwhip is a perennial herbaceous plant. Like leeks, one crop will grow again after being cut.
Zhang An still remembers that before the start of their elementary school, students who had livestock at home would carry baskets and sickles on their backs to cut grass on the school lawn the day before school started.
Because no one stepped on or sat on it during the few months of vacation, the bullweed grew tall and lush on the grass in the school.
Those who go early may be able to cut a few more baskets and go home to feed the livestock. Everyone will be praised a few times when they return home in the evening.
Because of this, in this era, many schools in the mountains require students to go there one day in advance to pull weeds at the beginning.
Soon, Zhang An sprinkled the entire field with bullengrass seeds, and then asked Dahei to plow it again.
Although these grass seeds can grow and germinate when they are wet with mud, spring has come and the birds in the sky have begun to return.
Especially those thieves from their hometowns who have left their nests like to eat grass seeds like this.
Especially these grass seeds were soaked by Zhang An in space spring water, and they liked them even more.
So Zhang An plowed the plow again, turning up the soil underneath to cover the grass seeds to prevent them from being pecked by birds.
“Hey, Anzi, what are you doing?”
Zhang An led Dahei home. When they reached the intersection, everyone they met greeted each other.
“I’m going to plant some grass in that field, my third aunt,”
The speaker is Wang Shoucai, who is Zhang An’s elder, from the same village, and somewhat related to him.
"Growing grass? Don't coax me to play with it. You have to grow any kind of grass at home."
When Wang Shoucai heard Zhang An talk about planting grass, he thought Zhang An was coaxing him to play. Woolen cloth.
In rural areas, people who need grass are cut outside. After all, each family now only has a few animals, and they have never heard of anyone who specializes in growing grass.
"What are you doing to coax you? I have so many sheep and deer in my house. Even if we go out to cut the grass every day, we won't have so much grass for us to cut. Why not just spread some land at home, so that we can run less in the future? "
After Zhang An explained, Wang Shoucai believed that Zhang An was really coming back from planting grass.
After all, they have so many sheep and deer, so they really need a lot of grass.
Horses don’t get fat without night grass, and the same goes for sheep. Spring and summer are here, and it’s time to cut grass and feed livestock.
"By the way, where are you going to push manure with my uncle?"
After chatting for a while, Zhang An saw his youngest son Wang Renli sitting on the handle of the chicken bus to catch his breath. What was being pushed was the grass manure in the circle.
"Haven't the seedlings been transplanted there? Our family will push some grass manure to fertilize the land first."
Wang Shoucai's family also plans to plant kiwi fruit this year, and has already received it from Zhang An. Ordered two acres of seedlings.
For this reason, Zhang An and his third uncle Zhang Jianye were specially invited to have a drink at home and asked some questions about growing kiwi fruit.
Although Zhang Jianye is not an experienced fruit farmer, he has learned a lot from this kiwi fruit in his hands for a year.
So it gave them a lot of experience. For example, they took the matter of fertilizing the land in advance very seriously.
After Zhang An’s family started transplanting seedlings, they began to pour grass manure in the pen so that the ground would be fertile when planting.
"That's okay, but the manure needs to be soaked before it can be spread on the ground. When spreading it, let it sit for two days before plowing it."
After all, he is from the village, Zhang An is still Tell them some precautions.
The fertility of farmyard manure in rural areas is not bad, but attention should be paid to fermentation. Good retting means good fermentation.
If they don’t do it right, the seedlings and roots will be burned, so Zhang An reminded them to spread it in the ground and leave it for two days.
Although farmers who have been growing crops for several years know this truth, some people do not want to waste the fertility of grass manure and bury it directly in the soil.
"Okay, we know this. Jianye has mentioned it to us."
Hearing what Zhang An said, Wang Shoucai thought that inviting Zhang Jianye back for a drink was not in vain. Tell them if you know something.
Farewell to Mr. Wang Shoucai, Zhang An rushed Dahei home.
On the road, Zhang An also met many villagers, all of whom were sending manure into the fields like Wang Shoucai's family.
Spring has just emerged these two days, and the rapeseed flowers in the fields have not bloomed, and fertilizer has been provided before.
There is not much work in the fields for the time being, so everyone is sending manure to the fields.
Some people use chicken carts to push it, some people use dung baskets to carry it, and some people use oxen and horses to carry it.
But their faces were full of energy and they didn't feel dirty or tired.
The reason is just to make the land where fruit trees are planted more fertile through my own efforts.
After the fruit trees are planted, they will grow better and have a bumper harvest when they bear fruit.
"Hey, you didn't sleep today."
Back home, Su Ying was watering the flowers in the yard, which surprised Zhang An. She was not sleeping in the house as usual. .
"You're back. I'm not very sleepy today, so I didn't want to sleep."
After letting Dahei enter the circle by himself, Zhang An shoveled the fence on the rake before putting it down. .
By the time he put the rake away, Su Ying had already come out with a washbasin and towel.
"Zhang An, let's eat fried potatoes. Some of you want to eat potato dumplings."
When Zhang An was washing, Su Ying patted the dirt and grass off his body. crumbs.
"It's really just a thought. Hehe, then I'll peel the potatoes after I finish washing and change clothes."
Zhang An laughed and teased his wife, and then was slapped twice by Su Ying. .
It’s just fried potatoes. It’s not like Su Ying doesn’t know how to do such a simple thing.
But now that she is pregnant, Wang Fang doesn't even let her enter the kitchen, let alone touch the frying pan.
And Su Ying didn't want to trouble her mother-in-law, so she waited until Zhang An came back before telling Zhang An.
Zhang An changed the dirty clothes, and when she came downstairs, Su Ying had already started peeling potatoes.
It was a rare time to clean up. Zhang An suddenly wanted to eat, so he simply picked up half of the pot and peeled it together.
I didn’t have a knife to cut spike potatoes at home, so Zhang An cut them into chunks directly.
After cutting, soak in water to wash off the starch, sprinkle with some salt and marinate.
This will make it easier to fry the potatoes, and they will also have a salty taste after frying.
"Daughter-in-law, how do you want to eat it?"
After cutting the potatoes, Zhang An cut half a piece of tofu from the refrigerator and fried it together later. "Mix it and eat it. It will be more fragrant when you mix it."
"That's it, I'll get some seasonings."
Zhang An was holding a hoe. , I went to the vegetable garden to dig up the seasonings, which were actually Zanthoxylum bungeanum root, coriander and green onions.
To eat it as a dip, the potatoes are fried and directly dipped in chili powder. To eat it as a mix, you have to chop these condiments and mix them with the potatoes.
However, the mixed potatoes do taste more fragrant, and the taste is more uniform, especially when the aroma of coriander and chopped green onion meets the hot potatoes, the fragrance is very addictive.
Soon, a pot of golden fried potato cubes came out of the pot, and chopped condiments and oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar were poured on it.
The oil is homemade Sichuan peppercorn oil, so there is no need to add Sichuan peppercorn powder.
"Husband, why don't you chop some sour radish and mix it together, I want to eat sour radish."
"Sure, I'll chop it up, it'll be ready soon."
Zhang An then remembered that his wife has always been fond of eating sour food recently.
Immediately took out two red pickled radishes from the kimchi jar and chopped them into small pieces.
Then I took some pickled cabbage from another jar, washed it, and cut it into pieces.
Now you have all the pickled radish and sauerkraut. Add some fried peanuts and mix it into a small pot.
"It's done. Wife, eat it while it's hot first, and I'll fry some tofu for you."
"Thank you for your hard work, husband. I'll give you a piece first to open your mouth."< br>
Su Ying picked up a piece of potato filled with cilantro and fed it to Zhang An's mouth.
Suddenly Zhang An felt that no matter how hard he worked, it was worth it.
"Godfather, what are you and your godmother eating? I can smell the aroma."
While the two were immersed in their world, Li Yao ran in with a group of little guys smelling the smell.
"Here, we've fried the potatoes. You have a pretty good nose."
He called them all over and took some bowls and chopsticks from the kitchen and gave them to them.
Zhang An peeled a total of half a pot of potatoes and cut them into pieces. The pot was full. The two of them would definitely not be able to finish it. He also prepared some for a few children.
No matter how many potatoes there are in rural areas, this stuff is really something you won’t get tired of eating, especially the deep-fried ones, which are even more popular among children.
In many people’s homes, adults don’t often fry potatoes for their children because it consumes oil.
Su Ying's appetite has increased greatly during this period, but seeing the way these children eat makes her food even more delicious.
Then Zhang An cut the white tofu into small pieces and fried it in a pan until both sides were golden brown.
Put it out from the middle and put the mixed folded root and sauerkraut inside. It’s called a fragrant dish.
It's a pity that this is old tofu. If it is specially used to eat the small tofu from the hot pot, it will taste more fragrant and delicious.
Early the next morning, Zhang An got up and carried a sprayer to the fields to sprinkle water.
Although she has to take her daughter-in-law to the hospital today, Su Ying is not awake yet.
It was still early anyway, and Zhang An didn’t want to wake up Su Ying who was sleeping.
"Anzi came to spray medicine so early. It's so gratifying how well the seedlings are growing."
When Zhang An was sprinkling water in the field, many villagers passing by stopped to blow on it. Two sentences.
"How is this a potion? You bitch, the potion you bought has no taste?"
Zhang An hasn't spoken yet, but several villagers nearby are talking. A fight broke out.
"Haha, this is indeed not a potion, but a nutrient solution, which can make the saplings grow better."
It is filled with space spring water, and it is not a nutrient solution. wrong.
“So there is such a thing. No wonder the saplings here look the same every day and grow so fast.”
Zhang An didn't even know it, so he gave a casual reason and dispelled everyone's questions in the future.
Anytime someone comes out and asks why these saplings in Zhang An’s family can grow so fast.
Someone in the village would answer for him and say that he had injected the nutrient solution needed by the plants.
It took more than an hour to sprinkle water on all the saplings before Zhang An packed them up and went home.
At this time, Su Ying had already gotten up from the bed, packed her things and waited for Zhang An to come back.
Wang Fang, on the other hand, was very confused. During the pregnancy test, she was required to have an empty stomach, so she could not eat breakfast in the morning.
But Su Ying didn’t eat breakfast and Wang Fang was worried that she would be hungry. In the end, Zhang An had to comfort her.
Actually, Su Ying is really not hungry. Although she didn't eat anything this morning, her appetite has increased greatly during this period. Skipping breakfast all morning will have no impact.
And the mother-in-law in the city must have prepared something. After the examination, Su Ying will not be hungry.
Finally, after Wang Fang gave an explanation, the two of them got in the car and went to the city.
Wu Qiuping and Su Shaowen were already waiting for them at the entrance of the hospital.
And the father-in-law was also carrying an insulated lunch box in his hand, which contained black-bone chicken soup that the mother-in-law had gotten up early in the morning to make.
This is just as Zhang An guessed. The mother-in-law is afraid that Su Ying will be hungry. After all, she is the biological mother, so how can she not care about her daughter.
When the examination was conducted at the hospital, it was just a urine test and blood draw. There was no obstetric B-ultrasound, fetal heart rate, etc.
After all, this is just a county hospital in a remote area, and it is still in this developing era. There is no need to check this and that like later generations.
As long as you make sure that you are healthy and have a normal fetus, and are not those special pregnant women such as uterine cold, the pregnancy test will be a normal result.
After this experience, Zhang An no longer plans to take Su Ying to the hospital for check-ups.
Today’s pregnancy test is not like that of later generations. It cannot be checked this way and cannot be seen that way.
The most you can do is to do a blood test and then use the results to see if the pregnant woman is in good health and if there are any other problems.
There is no need to go to the hospital for this. You can see it yourself at home.
Su Ying's pulse was very strong and steady in all aspects, and she was healthier than normal people.
Even if there is a problem that Zhang An cannot solve by himself, there is still Zhang and his party at home, which is much better than in this hospital.
On the contrary, when I came to this hospital, I had to draw blood and get injections, which made Zhang An feel very distressed.
Finally, the urine test results came out, confirming that Su Ying was two months pregnant, and the father-in-law and mother-in-law felt relieved.
Although Zhang An and the others had confirmed it repeatedly before, they did not go to the hospital for examination. They were always worried that the grandson was not real.
Now that the results from the hospital have come out, they are really relieved.
But the young couple shouldn't even think about going home today, because the mother-in-law won't let them leave no matter what, and they have to stay in the city for the whole day.
Otherwise, when school starts in a few days, Su Ying will be busy with classes again, and there will be no time to come back by then.
Moreover, tomorrow is the weekend, so the two old men are not going to work, and they are thinking about getting something delicious for their daughter.
In this way, the couple stayed in the city for a day. On the afternoon of the next day, Su Ying and Zhang An returned to Changqing under the reluctant eyes of their mother-in-law.
