Chapter 115: Riding a bicycle to catch up with the loaded runner.
After eating and drinking, Xu Dongsheng prepared to go home.
"Dongsheng, wait a moment."
Xu Dongsheng had just finished washing dishes at the sink and was about to leave the steel mill and go home when Xu Dazhuang's apprentice Zhang Shenglei called Xu Dongsheng.
"Brother Lei, what's the matter?"
Xu Dongsheng asked.
"Dongsheng, it's like this. You dare to buy it, so I want to ask you to do me a favor."
Zhang Shenglei spoke to Xu Dongsheng in a somewhat coy manner, and Xu Dongsheng thought to himself, could it be that because of what he had just said, he would have to help now?
"Brother Lei, if you can help, there will be absolutely no problem."
Xu Dongsheng nodded, then spoke to Zhang Shenglei.
"Dongsheng, this is what happened. My partner and I have been dating for a while, and we have already met each other's parents and started planning the wedding date. However, my father-in-law is a bit overbearing and has the final say at home.
She said that the girl could marry me, but there were three conditions. One was that we had to prepare eight Phoenix brand bicycles for the wedding. The bicycle issue was easy to arrange, as we had so many brothers and sisters in the same school, and several of my friends also had bicycles.
The other forty-eight legs. My father is a carpenter, so he could have gotten them all. But my mother-in-law wanted me to invite sixteen people and also order eight hot dishes. The neighbors in our yard helped me get the pieces together, but we were still short of twenty kilograms of meat.
Because the plan changed, originally, we said that we would just reduce a little bit of each dish, and that would be enough. I invited 16 tables of our own guests, and no one would say anything.
But my mother-in-law said that they would also come to dinner, so we would have to count four tables for them, so there would be 20 tables in total. So we dared not cut corners, because given my mother-in-law's temper, she could really take the bride home directly.
So, Dongsheng, can you help me think of a solution? I will give you a big red envelope when the time comes. Don't worry, I will never let you suffer a loss in money."
Zhang Shenglei told Xu Dongsheng about his situation in detail. Xu Dongsheng nodded. Indeed, this temporary operation would confuse people, but fortunately the requirements were not very high. Just 20 kilograms of meat was not difficult for Xu Dongsheng.
This was also the first time Zhang Shenglei had asked Xu Dongsheng for help. Although Zhang Shenglei could ask Xu Dazhuang and others to help him collect some meat coupons, in those days, you couldn't buy meat just by having meat coupons. So, Zhang Shenglei had no choice but to ask Xu Dongsheng for help.
"Well, when do you want it?"
Xu Dongsheng pretended to think for a while, then asked Zhang Shenglei a question.
"This weekend, our wedding date is September 10th."
Zhang Shenglei replied quickly.
"Okay, I'll bring it to you on Saturday. You'll have to buy me a couple of drinks then."
Xu Dongsheng nodded, then smiled and spoke to Zhang Shenglei. Zhang Shenglei was overjoyed when he heard that, and then sent Xu Dongsheng out of the steel mill. After leaving the steel mill, Xu Dongsheng did not go fishing again, but went towards his home.
Accepting Zhang Shenglei's request, Xu Dongsheng's task increased a little, but Xu Dongsheng didn't care about it. Anyway, it was more. If he didn't buy it, he could just get it in the hemisphere. However, it must be said that Zhang Shenglei's neighbors were not bad. They collected food coupons and meat coupons for their weddings. Sure enough, their courtyard could not compare.
"Hey, comrade, comrade, can you help us? My wife is about to give birth."
Xu Dongsheng was riding a bicycle on his way back when he saw a woman wearing a floral dress and with a big belly. A man was holding her and running towards the hospital frantically. It was obvious that the woman was about to give birth. The man was too tired to run from somewhere and called Xu Dongsheng.
"Zhang Liguo?"
Xu Dongsheng was stunned for a moment when he saw the man holding the woman in front of him. This man looked too much like a star, but then he realized that this was not the time to think about these things. He quickly took the woman from his hands and held her in his arms, carrying her like a princess. Then he asked which hospital to send her to. When he heard that he was going to the First Hospital, Xu Dongsheng did not stop at all and ran towards the hospital.
"Comrade, please ride my bicycle here."
The man saw Xu Dongsheng had already gone 20 meters away, and he was stunned. How could someone snatch a pregnant woman? But after hearing Xu Dongsheng's words, he also reacted and chased in the direction of Xu Dongsheng.
"Comrade, comrade, am I flying? Why do the trees around me seem to be flying?"
The pregnant woman in Xu Dongsheng's arms was confused in his arms. She couldn't bear the pain, but she hadn't fainted yet. Seeing the fast-moving scenes around her, she thought she was flying.
"Comrade, don't talk. Keep your strength. The hospital will be there soon."
As Xu Dongsheng spoke, he ran forward. The man, who had recovered, chased after Xu Dongsheng frantically. Xu Dongsheng learned his lesson and chased him on a bicycle. If he had just relied on his legs, there was no way he could catch up.
"Comrade, we've arrived at the hospital."
"Doctor, doctor, someone has given birth."
Xu Dongsheng looked at the woman who was sweating profusely from the pain. He pressed her acupuncture points to make her feel better, but he couldn't press them intentionally, otherwise he would be taking advantage of her. Then he would be blamed for doing good things.
"Wenli, Wenli, I'm here, doctor!"
The doctor pulled the bed and rushed towards Xu Dongsheng and the others. At this time, the woman's husband also arrived. He shouted to the pregnant woman and then hurriedly shouted to the doctor who had rushed over.
"Wenli, hold on, the operating room will be here soon."
Xu Dongsheng put the pregnant woman on the bed, and then the doctor pushed her towards the operating room. Seeing the pregnant woman grimacing in pain and sweating, the man hurried to comfort her.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute."
When they were about to enter the operating room, Wen Li quickly stopped everyone, asked them to wait, and then looked at the man.
"Tongzi, what if it's a girl? What if you don't like her?"
It turns out that she was worried that men would not like the baby if it was a girl.
"Wife, as long as the baby is born safely, intact, and not cleft in the mouth or six calves, I will like it regardless of whether it is a boy or a girl."
The man looked at the worried pregnant woman and quickly told her that as long as the baby was healthy, he would like it, and asked her to give birth without worry. Only then was the woman pushed into the operating room with peace of mind.
"Brother, don't panic. I just saw that my sister-in-law is in good health. I guarantee that both mother and child will be safe. It's not a big deal for you to move around like this."
The woman was pushed into the operating room, and Xu Dongsheng did not leave. This was the first time Xu Dongsheng had done a good deed in his two lifetimes. Shouldn't he wait to see the result before leaving?
