Chapter 396 Condolences to the Heroes
Mrs. Jiang hurried forward to hold her shoulders, tapped her forehead and smiled angrily: "You kid, why don't you pay attention to your belly when it's so big? Am I such a picky person? I don't know. Think I’m a difficult old lady!”
Fang Hongye quickly smiled and shook his head: "No, grandma, I have been lying in bed all day. Isn't this an opportunity for me to come down and do some exercise while you are here?"
Grandma, what did you bring? It smells so good. I just finished breakfast and I’m hungry again..."
Mrs. Jiang greeted the two in-laws and put the thermos bucket on the table, "I know you don't like the food in the hospital. The food here is tasteless. I specially asked Xiao Zhang to cook chicken soup porridge with what you like. Tamarind pickles.”
Fang Hongye held the ground and drank a small bowl.
The fragrance of chicken soup and porridge gradually spread in the ward with closed windows, causing everyone to drool.
Fang Hongye patted her side, asked An Zhixia to sit down, and looked at her belly with faint joy, "Why did you come with the hospital in such a mess? You just relied on Brother Yuan not being here, otherwise you wouldn't have suffered it. Your brother will have to give you a lesson later when he comes back from washing the dishes."
An Zhixia smiled flatteringly: "I am going to get sick from being bored at home. It will be good for the child in my belly to get some fresh air and relax."
"What can a little thing the size of a peanut feel?" An Zhiqiu's resentful voice came from behind her. "If you want to come out to play, tell your brother, and he will drive you slowly and take you around."
An Zhixia groaned and patted her head: "My little Hui is still at the TV station. My brother happens to be driving back and forth between home and the hospital these days."
An Zhiqiu raised his eyebrows and nodded. He took the apple and peeled it skillfully. He gave a quarter to each of his wife, sister, grandma and mother-in-law. However, Mrs. Jiang and Aunt Fang changed hands and gave it to their juniors.
The apples are sour, sweet and crisp, and their fragrance is faintly wafting in the air.
An Zhixia bit her teeth happily, "That's not right, brother, aren't you going to work today?"
She raised her wrist and looked at her watch. It was already time to go to work, but her brother didn't panic at all and was still sitting steadily, so she couldn't help but whisper in his ear.
An Zhiqiu said with a smile: "You girl, you just say you want to eat canned food, and you're still coy. Come on, don't you just want to go out with me for a walk and get some fresh air?"
He stood up, helped the stunned girl up, greeted a few people, and walked out with a smile.
An Zhixia also spoke to her elders and sister-in-law, and slowly followed her brother's footsteps.
Out of the door, An Zhiqiu stood side by side with her, her hands open for protection, ready to deal with emergencies.
Looking at her brother's solemn and nervous look, An Zhixia's eyebrows were crooked. In fact, she already had a guess in her heart. She sighed and said, "Brother, can we talk now? Doesn't my sister-in-law and the others not know?"
An Zhiqiu had a light smile on his face, but there was no trace of sadness or irritability, "Yesterday afternoon I was two minutes late when I went back. I was found out by Deputy Director Huang, and I was temporarily suspended without pay at home to reflect on my mistakes.
Your sister-in-law is about to give birth, so I told my family to take a long leave.
But Xia Xia, brother is not stupid. He knows what they mean. Don't you just want to use me to force you to submit?
Our family is not short of these two funds. Besides, where can my brother, who is a good cook, go without food? Moreover, I can still collect dozens of yuan in rent every month, and I have earned a house in the TV station, so we don’t lose money. "
An Zhixia turned her head and stared at her brother closely, but she still saw a hint of loneliness and unwillingness in her eyes that pretended to be calm and indifferent. She knew that her brother loved to record "Taotie" on the TV station and teach his skills to the whole country and even the world.
Having seen a bigger stage, and then returning to a palm-sized kitchen, no one can accept this gap, right?
"Brother, you should spend more time with your sister-in-law during this time. Shao Tongfeng still has a tough battle to fight on the TV station. Once the result is known, you can continue to return to the screen and do the career you like," she said with a low voice and a chuckle. .
“Brother, the world on the screen shouldn’t be contaminated with too much filth.”
An Zhiqiu was slightly surprised, the two of them happened to arrive in an open area. He took out his money and tickets to buy cans at the supply and marketing cooperative next to the hospital.
"Brother, there are a lot of things in the can that are taboo for pregnant women," An Zhixia said in a low voice, "You should avoid foods when you are pregnant, and you should avoid foods when breastfeeding. Some people even have to pay attention when preparing for pregnancy. Alas, a woman wants to have a child. You have to devote three or four years.”
An Zhiqiu listened to the discussion and nodded in agreement: "If we have children, we have to be responsible for them. There is a need to raise children. I want three children. I can't take care of too many, and I can't take care of too few. It’s too deserted.”
An Zhixia hasn’t given birth yet. She has already thought about her future life and has completely lost her previous plans to form a team. “We have many children in our family, so I only need two to make a good one.”
Because the child had to go home for lunch, An Zhixia did not stay too long.
An Zhiqiu first rode his motorcycle to his work, parked the car in his yard, and then drove the gray sports car given to An Zhixia by Fang Yuan to pick her up.
When he came back, An Zhiqiu drove very slowly, just a little faster than a bicycle. He also bought food at a state-owned restaurant on the way and got home after ordering.
An Zhiqiu parked the car at the east side door of the transportation team, and the two of them carried their things into the family courtyard.
By the time the food was served, the little ones had finished school.
The children liked him very much as their uncle, and asked him sensibly about how his daughter-in-law was doing and when she would give birth. They made an appointment to see the baby as soon as possible.
An Zhiqiu responded with a smile, then turned his head and said to An Zhixia: "I was riding a motorcycle to Taili just now, and Deputy Director Huang didn't do any work at all. He just kept watching me as I entered the family home. We drove to the office building again.
She thought she had caught me, and while I was away washing the car, she got a group of people together and wanted to sue me for using a bus for personal use. Not to mention that the food looks ugly. "
The big one and the three little ones all looked up from their bowls and looked at him.
An Zhiqiu didn't show off, and said directly: "I just held my chest and let her do what she wanted, and watched her incite public opinion. She was so excited that she even invited comrades in the bureau to come and join them. My crime of using an official car for personal use was upgraded to stealing public property.
At the back, the station director and others also came. The station director pretended to comfort me and then asked me for my car keys. They thought this car was also sponsored by the supply and marketing cooperative. After Brother Qian made excuses to take the car back because you resigned, these people all stared at your little Hui.
I saw that they were going too far, so I opened the car and took out the car book to show them.
When they saw your name written inside, their faces turned green and they directly said that you had embezzled public funds.
However, everyone has proved that this car was owned when the overseas channel of the TV station was first established, so this accusation is not true at all.
Tsk, you didn’t see their expressions as if the duck had reached its beak and flew away. It’s so enjoyable. "
The three young ones laughed heartily and said, "I won't give it to them!"
"Brother, you can drive back and forth in your car these days. It's a waste to leave the car alone anyway. Besides, it's cold. How painful is it to ride a motorcycle? You can bear it, but my uncle and aunt's health can't bear it." An Zhixia He smiled and said, "By the way, when you have nothing to do, take me around with you to get some fresh air. Pregnant women are in a happy mood, and only then will their children be beautiful, smart and healthy."
An Zhiqiu did not shirk and put the car keys back into his pocket.
After An Zhixia woke up from her nap, she just collected herself and opened the door to welcome her sisters-in-law who came to visit her. Unexpectedly, she received a few uninvited guests.
Director Bai, Director Chen from Channel 1, and the pillars came to the door carrying fruits, cans, and milk powder with smiles.
Feeling the director's unrestrained and naked gaze, An Zhixia stood at the door and shouted: "Sister-in-law Deng, we have a guest at home. Do you have hot water there?"
Sister-in-law Deng responded simply and walked over from next door carrying a thermos.
There was no need for An Zhixia to do anything. She started to pour tea for a few people.
"Sister-in-law, if you have nothing to do, why don't you come with me and chat with a few guests?" An Zhixia grabbed her arm, pushed her onto the kang and said with a smile.
"Deputy Station Xiao An, we are here this time. Firstly, we want to visit and express our condolences to you, the great hero of the TV station. Secondly, we also want to discuss some affairs with you on the station. You see, this is related to the organization..." Director Chen looked at it with a chuckle. Sister-in-law Deng said that at this point, anyone with any discernment would have to leave voluntarily.
Sister-in-law Deng was indeed a little cautious, but she felt the strength An Zhixia put on her arm and remembered An Zhixia's voluntary resignation from the TV station and Fang Yuan's entrustment before leaving, so she didn't raise her **** or raise her eyelids. .
“I’m not an outsider, I’m the cousin of Zhixia’s cousin’s son-in-law. It’s too troublesome to talk about seniority, so I just follow the man’s call, but this doesn’t deny that we are close relatives.
Your TV station speaks nicely and comes to thank the great contributors, but the people you bullied have resigned, so why are you here pretending to be there? Do we want your door-to-door gift? "
An Zhixia also looked like she had been wronged, but she was not as cool as she had been when she left before.
"Here," Director Chen looked at the director, "the organization was just giving Deputy Director Xiao An a warning at the time, and had no other intention. I didn't expect Deputy Director Xiao An to be so angry.
So our director will personally come to your door to understand the situation. We have something to talk about and where the organization is wasting talents. Our country is developing rapidly and we are racing against time. Mr. Xiaoan, please put forward any grievances and demands you have. "
An Zhixia lowered her head and touched her still flat belly, chuckled and shook her head: "It's not that I don't want to dedicate myself to the country and the organization, it's just that the child in my belly is too noisy, and it's only as big as a peanut, so it starts to compete with me for nutrition. .
I feel dizzy even if I stand at home for a long time. If such physical condition reaches the organization, I am afraid it will slow down the work progress of comrades.
Besides, we have a lot of children in our family, and the man drives a car outside all day long, so the burden of educating this child falls on me. "
