My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 403 August
July is over, and it will soon be August.

Saturday, April 8.

After breakfast, under Mama Xu's urging, Xu Dong drove his mother to the hospital for reexamination. If everything goes well, Mama Xu will be able to get out of the wheelchair from today.

After some inspection.

"Doctor Jiang, how is my mother recovering? Can she walk on the ground now?"

Xu Dong cut to the chase.

Dr. Jiang looked at the CT film and nodded incessantly:

"The recovery is quite good. The fracture line is no longer visible. Next, I can try functional sports exercises. Walking on the ground will definitely be fine."

Mother Xu was overjoyed when she heard this.

"Is there anything that needs attention?" Xu Dong continued to ask.

"You can't lose the crutches in the early stage. Try to control your daily activity time within one hour. Don't worry, take your time. It's best to do it step by step to avoid re-injury.

In addition, in daily life, you should eat more foods high in calcium and continue to strengthen your nutrition. Only in this way can you recover quickly. "

"We got it, thank you, Dr. Jiang."

Xu Dong quickly expressed his thanks.

Doctor Jiang waved his hand: "You're welcome!"

Mama Xu took out a small packet of biscuits from her handbag, and secretly stuffed it into the desk drawer.

"Doctor Jiang, I baked some biscuits at home, I'll give you some to taste."

"Auntie, how can this be done? Our hospital has a rule that we cannot accept things from patients." Dr. Jiang pretended to decline.

"It's not a red envelope, it's just a little snack, it's not against the rules." Mother Xu persuaded with a smile.

Dr. Jiang accepted it after a few polite words.

The Aunt Zhang in front of him is his "God of Wealth". Almost every time she comes to check, the other party will bring him a little snack.

Sometimes it’s small bread, sometimes it’s mung bean cake. The last time it was fried dried fish, although there was only a small packet each time, it was never repeated.

Relying on these small snacks, the relationship between him and his girlfriend quickly heated up, and soon reached the point of discussing marriage. Seriously speaking, Aunt Zhang should be regarded as a great matchmaker between the two of them.

Back from the hospital.

Mama Xu refused the wheelchair and insisted on walking with crutches.

The children were playing in the yard, and when they saw Mama Xu coming back, they immediately surrounded her.

"Grandma, are you able to walk?"

Dabao said happily.

"Grandma will cook something delicious for you at noon." Mother Xu's face was full of doting.

"Grandma, I want to eat fried fish balls."

"I want to eat pickled fish. Mom's pickled fish is not delicious at all." Lele complained.

For the health of the family, Yang Lina likes to cook with less oil and less salt, and basically light dishes. In contrast, the children prefer grandma's cooking, which tastes delicious.

Xu Dong was afraid that his mother would be too tired, which would affect the progress of recovery, so he couldn't help persuading: "Mom, your legs are not fully healed yet, let's cook after you're done!"

"It's okay." Mama Xu waved her hand, "Mom just cooks one dish at noon, so I won't be tired."

Dabao immediately shouted: "Grandma, how about making fish balls at noon?"

"Sauerkraut fish." Lele was not to be outdone.

Seeing that the siblings were about to quarrel again, Mother Xu hurriedly opened her mouth to smooth things over:

"It's too late to make fish balls at noon, let's make fish balls in the afternoon, and eat pickled fish for lunch, okay?"

"it is good!"

Dabao has always listened to grandma very much.

So at noon, Madam Xu cooked a dish of pickled fish.

It smells so fragrant!

Even Xu Dong couldn't help eating an extra bowl of rice, and the children ate so much that their mouths were full of oil.

After lunch, I started making fish balls in the afternoon.

"Mom, the emperor goose meat is gone, what can I use instead?"

Making fish balls requires a lot of ingredients, and the workload is generally relatively heavy. It is definitely not possible to rely on Xu Ma alone. Fortunately, Xu Dong has a rest today, so he can help from the sidelines.

Xu's mother thought about it, and she also had a headache.

Although the fish balls are made, the meat inside is also indispensable, otherwise it will taste less chewy and the taste will be much worse, so it is not beautiful.

"Would you like to try it without whale meat?"

Yang Lina suddenly suggested.

Whales are mammals, and their meat quality is generally closer to that of livestock than fish in terms of color and taste.

Xu Ma nodded: "Okay, let's try it with whale meat, add more green onion and ginger, it should be able to suppress the fishy smell."

"Okay, I'm going to get the whale meat, how many catties do you want?"

Xu Dong rolled up his sleeves and asked.

"The temperature is high in summer, so I can't put it down. Just take three catties. If it tastes good, I'll do it later." Xu Ma replied.

Xu Dong picked a piece of whale meat and a piece of tuna meat from the freezer, and took a pound of dried shrimp from the basement.

The dried shrimps that were originally stored in Panjiayuan's small shop had already been smuggled back by him. After all, it had been so long. If there was a problem, it would have exploded long ago.

After a lot of work, start frying fish balls.

Xu Ma's movements were very skillful, and after a while, the first pot of fish balls came out of the pot, which smelled delicious and had no fishy smell at all.

"I want to eat the first one!"

As Dabao said, he wanted to reach out for it.

Yang Lina quickly stopped her and said, "Be careful that it's hot, let it cool down before eating."

After 5 minutes, the children couldn't bear it anymore.

"Mom, how long will it take?"

Yang Lina tried one by herself, and the temperature had dropped, so she nodded and said:

"Okay, bring the bowls here, mom will serve them for you."

"Nana, how does the fishball taste?"

Mother Xu took the opportunity to ask.

Yang Lina picked up a fish ball for her mother-in-law and her husband, and then replied: "Mom, the taste is not bad, it's a little harder than oily fish balls, and the fishy smell is not so obvious."

"The taste is indeed okay." Xu Dong echoed.

"Oh, it's much worse than oily fish balls, so we can only make do with it." Xu Ma sighed.

"Grandma, the fish balls are delicious!"

"Crispy and delicious."

"Grandma, the fish balls are really delicious!"

Seeing that the children liked it, Mama Xu finally smiled. The fish balls were originally made for children, as long as the juniors like it.

……

Time soon came to the end of the month, Mama Xu's legs were completely healed, and she was walking in a hurry. Since last week, she has completely taken over the kitchen.

While Yang Lina breathed a sigh of relief, the corners of her mouth twitched as she watched the children gain weight again.

"Mom, Lingling is coming over for dinner tonight, and I'll go to the grain store to buy some vegetables."

Ma Lingling had already received the admission letter from Xiaqing University, the start date of school was September 9st, and tomorrow was the last day of her summer job.

"See if there are any tomatoes, and if there are, buy more."

Mother Xu ordered.

Although her legs are better, she can't bear too much weight, so she still has to rely on her youngest daughter-in-law for housework such as grocery shopping.

"Got it." Yang Lina agreed.

Walking to the nearest grain store, sure enough, there were two long lines of people waiting in front of the grain store, and everyone was waiting to receive their September rations.

Fortunately, it is summer now, and the temperature at night is only a few degrees below zero at most, so there is no need to suffer too much. If it is winter, then some will suffer.
