Chapter 43 is awkward
It's a bit ashamed to say that, as a doctor, my diet is really not healthy enough, hot pot is a "favorite", and barbecue is a "spare tire". When you go out to eat, you're basically going back and forth between the two.
So when Zhang Xiao asked me what I wanted to eat, I held my head and thought for only two seconds, and then blurted out: "Hot pot." β
In the past, Zhang Xiao had never expressed any opinion on my eating habits, but today it is a little different.
Almost as soon as my words landed, his brow furrowed slightly.
"Won't it be a burden to eat hot pot at night?"
"Yes!" I nodded from the perspective of a medical professional.
"That ......"
He seemed to want to say something, but he didn't spit out half a word for a long time.
I looked at him suspiciously, and then asked, "Don't you want to eat it?"
"No, it's just ......"
"What?"
I always felt that Zhang Xiao had something to say in his heart, but he hesitated not to say it, which made me very puzzled.
In the evening, the hospital had a rare peace of the day, I sat in the car, held my head and looked at Zhang Xiao quietly for a while, and suddenly remembered the topic of marriage that I discussed with Dr. Zhou in the office today.
You know, the only thing I don't doubt about Dr. Zhou is his gossip speed, if something happens in the obstetrics and gynecology department in the morning, it will be known to the whole hospital by him in the afternoon.
According to the special relationship between Dr. Zhou and Zhang Xiao, it is estimated that after I said that I didn't want to marry Zhang Xiao in the last second, Dr. Zhou would probably have conveyed the central idea in the next second.
"Did you listen to what Dr. Zhou said?"
"Hmm. β
Zhang Xiao nodded silently, which perfectly confirmed my conjecture.
It's a fact that I don't want to get married at this stage, and I didn't plan to hide it from Zhang Xiao, not to mention that this is not something unspeakable.
"So, what's in your mind right now?"
I clasped my little thumb, tilted my head slightly and asked casually, in fact, I didn't even notice it, and there was a faint worry in my words.
However, Zhang Xiao did not answer me directly, but once again led to the topic of eating, this time he didn't think too much, and came up and said bluntly: "I don't want to eat hot pot today, can I change to a different one?"
Although I didn't know what Zhang Xiao was for his sudden change of topic, I still cooperated with his meaning and nodded understandingly.
"Yes, what do you want to eat?"
Although hot pot barbecue is a "favorite" to me, it is far from the level where they must be.
"I don't know. β
I thought that Zhang Xiao rejected me because I had arranged a place to eat in advance, but a concise "I don't know" made me speechless in an instant.
It's like a kid who has a temper tantrum, maybe it's not that he doesn't like to eat hot pot, but he doesn't like the hot pot that comes out of your mouth.
I didn't expect Zhang Xiao to have such a naΓ―ve side, I couldn't help but be a little curious, and after dragging my chin and casually skimming him, I suddenly found that this guy actually pouted unconsciously.
"So you're unhappy?"
I held out my finger and poked lightly at his waist.
He first subconsciously avoided it, then turned into a serious face in seconds, and said seriously: "My girlfriend doesn't want to marry me, and I shouldn't be happy with anyone." β
ββ¦β¦β
In fact, Zhang Xiao was wrong, after all, there is a living example lying in the hospital now. After the girl was pregnant, she was full of thoughts about getting married, but what about her boyfriend, it didn't matter if she didn't get married, she ran away without even paying the medical bills, and she was extremely unhappy at first glance.
Even if I find the facts to refute it, I don't have the courage to speak to Zhang Xiao, after all, I can't compare a scumbag with him.
Silence should be what I am good at, after being refuted by Zhang Xiao, I didn't speak, obediently lowered my head and made a state of reflection.
Zhang Xiao glanced at me and didn't pay attention to it, but added the accelerator and drove calmly. I wanted to ask him where he was going, but taking into account the reflective state I was in now, I looked up slightly at the window, and then bowed my head again.
It stands to reason that Zhang Xiao should be angry in his heart now, but he didn't think about it, and his car ended up parked at the door of a hot pot restaurant.
"Don't you want to eat?"
Probably because my suspicious gaze was too strong, Zhang Xiao had to add, and after finishing, he walked in very coldly.
Winter is the best time for hot pot restaurant business, and now it is a restaurant, and as soon as I entered the door, I was startled by the bustling crowd.
The waiter was busy turning around, leading us to find a position, put down the menu and ran away.
I politely pushed the menu in front of Zhang Xiao, showing goodwill, but he held his head and pushed me back again without mercy.
When I failed, I didn't bother to excuse myself, so I picked up a pencil and sketched a few of my favorite dishes on the menu, and asked the waiter to place an order.
The hot pot restaurant served the food quickly, and after a while, the fiery butter bottom was served.
Even though Zhang Xiao brought me to the hot pot restaurant, the anger in his heart didn't disappear much, so when I was quietly waiting for the hot pot to boil, he actually whispered something on the side.
I couldn't hear what he was saying, so I leaned over and rubbed my ear, which really made me angry.
"A spicy hot pot has at least 1,700 calories. Meat has 200 calories per 100 grams, and if you eat some vegetables, tofu and other vegetarian dishes, the accumulated calories are almost 2,000 calories. Well, it's quite easy to gain weight, and I don't know how many vegetable salads I have to eat to remedy it. β
I can guarantee that Zhang Xiao did it on purpose, because he gave me a meaningful look when he talked about the vegetable salad.
Well, I admit it, when I used to lose weight, I used to eat vegetable salad every day at night, and even Zhang Xiao personally sent it to me.
You know, it's definitely not a good time to turn your face at this moment, and it probably won't do you any good other than look like I'm a shrew.
After taking a few deep breaths to calm down, I calmly picked up the fat cow and soaked it in the hot pot.
"Actually, hot pot is not only fat, have you heard of parasites? Trichinella, tapeworm and cyst are all three parasites that can be transmitted through hot pot. Don't look at this red flesh, there are no bacteria, but there may be white parasite eggs on it!"
As I spoke, I picked up the meat and sent it to Zhang Xiao's eyes, "You can quickly check if there is anything wrong with this meat."
Although I knew that this shop was very hygienic, I still couldn't help but joke with Zhang Xiao in my heart.
"You know parasites come into ......"
At this moment, I really gave full play to the advantages of the medical profession, you know, I was trained by my mentor back then, even if I got off the operating table with heavy bleeding, I could eat a bowl of duck blood vermicelli soup.
Zhang Xiao had no experience, so after listening to my words, his brows were about to wrinkle to the sky, "Stop, stop, I don't want to listen." β
"Okay. β
I shrugged my shoulders indifferently and calmly stuffed the soaked meat into my mouth.
"Actually, it's okay to cook the meat a little bit. β
I tilted my head and added, maybe the shadow of the parasite was too deep before, so Zhang Xiao's chopsticks didn't touch the meat on the table all night, which also indirectly led to the embarrassing situation of me going out with my stomach.
The meal is not salty or light, maybe Zhang Xiao and I are holding back, so the matter of not wanting to get married before has not been mentioned again, I was going to watch a movie after eating, but now it seems that it is more suitable to go back to our respective homes.
There was no quarrel, no chicken soup irrigation, Zhang Xiao and I ended the night peacefully, and after sending me home, he even printed a parting kiss on my forehead.
I don't know if this is considered an awkward quarrel between couples, but the only thing that is clear is that Zhang Xiao's mood is not good.
Of course, I will not change myself to cater to the other party because of this, life is my own, we have to bear the consequences of every choice we make, maybe I will suddenly change in the future and want to be a good wife and mother, but at least not now.
After entering the Taoist door, I unexpectedly saw the scene of the whole family gathering together to watch TV, and immediately, I was shocked and poked my head out and became curious.
Xu is seeing the highlights, Comrade Lao Qin clapped his hands and laughed, on the other hand, grandma, although not as exaggerated as Comrade Lao Qin, her squinted eyes clearly showed her good mood at the moment.
"What are you looking at?
I walked behind the sofa with my coat in my arms and quietly patted Comrade Lao Qin on the shoulder, and immediately he turned his head around.
"How's it going, are you hungry? There's still ...... left in the kitchen."
"I'm not hungry, I'm not hungry, I came back after eating with Zhang Xiao outside. I touched my round belly and showed it to Comrade Lao Qin.
But I don't know why, as soon as I mentioned Zhang Xiao's name, the smile on the corner of Comrade Qin's mouth fell, and on the contrary, Ms. Fang Yu, her good impression of Zhang Xiao was about to overflow.
"That's what Zhang Xiao sent you back?"
"Hmm. I nodded nondeniably.
"You said that you are a real child, why don't you invite him to come up and sit down?"
ββ¦β¦β
I didn't dare to refute Ms. Fang Yu's teachings, so I had to echo them soullessly.
Ms. Fang Yu probably saw my impatience, and immediately touched her stomach and muttered: "When you grow up, don't be like your sister, disobedient, and always let me worry about ......"
Don't say it, the trick of taking the child in the belly out to say something really works, this, as soon as Ms. Fang Yu finished talking, my grandmother and Comrade Lao Qin accused me of being ignorant.
And I, except for listening well, had little room to talk back.
Fortunately, I am still a professional obstetrician and gynecologist.
"Mom, pregnant women usually don't feel fetal movements until 20 weeks, and you can't understand it now when you educate it. β
Of course, in the end, it was suppressed in a high-profile manner in everyone's gossip "you know a fart".
The world is big, and pregnant women are the biggest.
