The corridor downstairs is quiet, and occasionally the patient's family members pass by in a hurry. Xu Mingze is the protégé of the director of the hospital, although he is young, but now he is the chief surgeon of many difficult surgeries in the department. Although he is very low-key, he has long been a celebrity in the courtyard.

The nurses downstairs all knew him, and they were a little surprised to see him come down, and asked, "Is there anything wrong with Dr. Xu?"

Xu Mingze stretched out his hand and rubbed his forehead, and said, "I'm here to find a young lady surnamed Zhou, she is a family member of a patient over there." I came from an emergency a few days ago. ”

There are not many patients these days, but the nurse reacted immediately, he said that he was Zhouhe. said: "You should be talking about Miss Zhou with 11 beds, I'll take you there." ”

The nurse said that she was going to go around immediately.

Xu Mingze stopped her and said, "No, you're busy, I'll just go over by myself." ”

He specially came down, and the nurse guessed that it should be something related to the patient to discuss with Zhou. said yes and didn't follow again.

When Xu Mingze passed, there was no one at the door of the ward, his footsteps paused, reached out and knocked on the door of the ward, and then pushed the door in.

Zhou He was sitting in a daze, thinking that the nurse was coming and didn't pay attention. It wasn't until I heard footsteps that it was a little heavier, and then I raised my head.

She was a little surprised to see Xu Mingze, so she immediately sat up straight and said, "Doctor Xu, why are you here?"

When he came, she subconsciously thought of the little one.

Xu Mingze naturally guessed what she was thinking, and said, "Don't worry, Ah Bao is fine." Just got off work and came over to see you. After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Zhou He to speak, and said, "How do you feel?"

Zhou He smiled helplessly and said, "I feel fine, but the doctor said that I still have to observe." ”

Xu Mingze nodded and said, "Then observe and observe." He paused as he spoke, and then said, "The stomach is a big thing, and it needs to be taken care of." Don't worry over there, the child is recovering well. ”

Zhou He politely said thank you, Dr. Xu.

Xu Mingze looked down at the time, it was almost ten o'clock. He glanced at Zhou He and said, "It's inevitable that you will get bored after eating for a long time in the hospital, I will work late tomorrow, and I plan to bring some food for the children." Whatever you want to eat, I will also give you a change of taste by the way. ”

Zhou He was flattered at this time, and hurriedly said: "No, Doctor Xu, you are already busy......

Before she finished her words, Xu Mingze said lightly: "I can't help you with anything, but I just bring some food, so you don't have to be polite." ”

Zhou He remembered the day he first came, he gave money to himself. She had been in the hospital for so many days because she had heard that Dr. Xu often helped patients in need. And this kindness of people is aimed at the little guy, and she is not easy to refuse. I had to honestly say: "I'm not a picky eater, I can eat anything." ”

Xu Mingze nodded, looked at the hospital gown on her again, and said, "It's boring in the ward, is there anything I need to bring?"

Where can Zhou He trouble people again, he hurriedly said no.

Xu Mingze didn't say anything more at this time, and said, "It's not early, go to bed early." ”

Zhou He responded with a good word, and Xu Mingze went out.

He always went to bed late, packed takeout downstairs in the community, and didn't rush to sleep after eating, but picked up the medical materials and read them as usual.

In the past, he slept late at night, but today he was distracted after watching it for a while. Inexplicably, I remembered what Zhou He looked like when he was on the roof of the building.

He came back to his senses, couldn't read it, simply stopped looking at it, and put the information away. I got up and went to the study, turned on the computer, and looked at the recipes for nourishing my stomach.

The next day, Xu Mingze got up very early and went to the vegetable market. Fresh ingredients should be served in the morning. He is busy most of the time, usually ordering takeout, occasionally going back to see his parents when he has a break, and rarely cooking.

He had some hands, prepared the ingredients, and called the aunt at home for advice, and then he began to make it.

The aunt was distressed that he was busy, so he didn't have to do it himself, and she sent him to the hospital what he wanted to eat.

Xu Mingze has always disliked trouble, saying that he didn't do it himself, but for his colleagues.

Auntie was relieved now, and said in detail about some small details that should be paid attention to. Xu Mingze listened and quickly recorded it with a pen.

Xu Mingze went to the hospital earlier than usual in the afternoon, and he was supposed to deliver the lunch box to the ward by himself. But when he arrived at the parking lot, he received a call from the director, asking him if he had arrived at the hospital, saying that he was looking for something and asked him to go to his office as soon as possible.

Xu Mingze did not delay the time, and went upstairs to give the lunch to the nurse, asking her to help give the lunch to the little guy and Zhou He. After he finished speaking, he changed his clothes and hurried away.

For a certain period of time, he ordered a month's worth of nutritious meals for an elderly man who had no children and no daughters. It's not surprising that the bento was delivered, and the nurse didn't even gossip, so she gave the bento to the little guy and Zhou He respectively.

The nurse left soon after delivering, and Zhou He was not hungry and did not touch the lunch. It wasn't until later that the bento was opened.

The bento is served in an insulated box or hot. probably knew that Zhou He had been eating porridge for the past few days, and Xu Mingze was not bringing porridge. Instead, it is a soft coarse grain rice made with coarse grains. The soup is a pot of pork ribs and corn soup, with a slight sweetness of corn, but not greasy.

Both stir-fried dishes are very light, but they have a lot more flavor than the porridge they drink every day.

As long as Cheng Wei is not there, Zhou He's appetite will be much better. I didn't finish the meal, but the vegetables and pork rib soup were eaten cleanly.

People sent food, and the insulated box had to be returned. She washed the thermos box and planned to send it to Xu Mingze later.

It's just that before she passed, Xu Mingze came over. He wore a white coat and a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose on the night shift, and he looked polite.

Once he came to the ward, he was familiar with himself, and when he entered the ward, he said, "I have asked your attending doctor, there is no big problem, and I can go through the procedures tomorrow." ”

Zhou He breathed a long sigh of relief and politely said thank you Dr. Xu.

Xu Mingze asked her not to be polite, her eyes fell on the cleanly washed thermos box, and said, "My hands are a little raw, aren't they unpleasant?"

Zhou He hurriedly shook his head and said seriously: "Of course not, it's delicious, I haven't eaten at home for a long time, thank you Dr. Xu." ”

Xu Mingze said that he was not polite, paused slightly, pondered for a while, and then said: "Although I can go through the procedures tomorrow, I still have to take care of it." Po will have to observe for a few more days. Bad rest in the hospital, waste money going to the hotel. I spend most of my time in the hospital and rarely go home. I'll give you the key to the house, and you can go to my house for the next few days. You can also get some food for yourself. ”

Zhou He didn't expect him to let him go to live in his house at all, so he was startled, and quickly waved his hand and said, "No, it's enough to trouble you." ”

Xu Mingze knew that he was abrupt to put forward this, and said after a while of silence: "Bao's future surgery will cost a lot of money. If you can save, you save, I don't mean anything else. Just want to help out in the best of your ability. Your current physical condition must be well rested, otherwise it is easy to repeat. If you don't want to go to your home to rest, you can also go to my duty room to rest. ”

I have to say that he is thoughtful, and it is no longer appropriate to refuse. Zhou He thanked him again and said, "Then trouble Doctor Xu." ”

Xu Mingze subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The sheets and quilts inside are all clean, you come to me tomorrow morning to get the key." Don't worry about the inconvenience, my lounge is separate and I will also say hello to the nurse. ”

Zhou He nodded at this time.

Xu Mingze didn't say much now, let Zhou He have a good rest, and then took the thermos box and left.

There aren't many things tonight, Xu Mingze used to rest for a while, but not tonight. In his free time, he changed the quilt and bed linen in the duty room.

He has a habit of cleanliness, and the duty room is clean and refreshing at all times.

When I returned to the office after doing all this, I saw a text message coming in from the mobile phone on the desk. It was the old lady in the family who specially sent him a reminder to remind him not to forget to meet on the weekend.

Xu Mingze was helpless, reached out and rubbed his eyebrows, and threw the phone aside.

Po's body slowly improved, at first he moved slowly by holding on to the wall, or walking slowly by himself against the wall. However, the child recovered quickly and was gradually able to walk on his own.

He is very sensible, he has always been able to endure it, and he will not snort even if his little face is tight. He wanted to get better as soon as possible and be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible.

In the evening, when the nurse informed him that he could be discharged from the hospital the next day, the little guy was very happy, and then he was sad, and he lay on the bed and asked hesitantly, "Teacher, did I spend a lot of money this time?"

Of course, he knew that living in a hospital would cost a lot of money.

Zhou He sat on the edge of the bed, touched his head gently, and said, "You don't have to worry about these, you just need to recuperate." ”

Later, whether it was Zhou He's illness or his business, it should have been done by Cheng Wei. Except for the initial hospitalization fee, no one has ever informed Zhou He to pay the fee.

Yes, I will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, and I have to clear this account first.

Zhou He's face didn't show anything, and after speaking, he asked: "The formalities are troublesome, and it is estimated that it will be completed at noon." We'll go home the day after tomorrow. Where does Po want to go or what do you want to eat, shall we go out for a walk?"

The little guy has never been to a big city, and this time he came directly to the hospital, and he has never been outside for a single step. It was too late to finish the operation tomorrow, so I simply delayed a day to take him out for a walk, and then went back the day after tomorrow.

The little guy was probably still worried about the medical bills, and said sullenly: "Teacher, I don't want to go shopping, I want to go home." ”

Zhou He gently touched his head and coaxed softly: "You have just been discharged from the hospital, have a good night's rest, and it will be the same when you go back the day after tomorrow." It's rare for you to come once, and tomorrow we'll go out for a walk, and you can buy some gifts for your grandparents to take home. Is it good for the teacher to give you? You will return to the teacher when you grow up. ”

The little guy wanted to bring a gift to his grandparents, and hesitated for a while before saying thank you, teacher.

Zhou He gently touched his head and said, "Be good, go to sleep." ”

The next morning, after the doctor checked the room, Zhou He went to the discharge procedures for the little guy. Cheng Wei's people wanted to help, but she refused. She insisted on doing it herself.

When I went downstairs to queue up, I saw Xu Mingze, who was on night duty last night, and came over. He knew that she was going to go through the discharge procedures, took the things in her hand, and said, "I'll do it, go back to the ward and pack up your things." ”

As he spoke, he took his things and walked to the window.

It would save a lot of trouble to have him, and Zhou Ji didn't go back first, but followed him all the time. Originally, I thought it would be done at noon, but it was completed in about 20 minutes.

When the two of them walked upstairs together, Xu Mingze asked, "When do you plan to go back?"

Zhou Ji didn't hide it from him and said, "Tomorrow." Today I want to take the little one out for a walk, and he will come out for a rare time. ”

If it weren't for this illness, the little one would probably only be able to come out as an adult.

Xu Mingze nodded and said, "I happened to be resting, it's inconvenient to go out without a car, I'll send you wherever you want to go." ”

He was on duty last night, and when he went back today, he should have come back to change his clothes. Already bothering him more, Zhou He hurriedly said, "No, I'll just take a taxi." ”

Xu Mingze glanced at her and said, "Are you familiar with this side?"

These words successfully made Zhou He speechless, and she said: "I checked the Internet last night ......"

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Xu Mingze and said: "Not all the strategies on the Internet are credible. Po still has to take medicine, it's inconvenient for you to take him to the hotel, so I'll stay at my house tonight. I've been off for a few days, and it's inconvenient to go long distances, so I'll drive you back tomorrow. ”

He said it so smoothly, obviously it had been arranged a long time ago.

Zhou He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and what else to say, Xu Mingze said again: "I live alone, so I don't have to feel inconvenient." But it's just for one night. It's not safe for you to live outside with a child. Don't shirk, that's all I can do for him. ”

His tone was light.

It was powerless to push the little guy out, and finally nodded.

Although the little guy and Zhou He came over with nothing, they went back and added a lot of toys for the little guy. By the time Zhou He packed up his things, Cheng Wei's people were already waiting outside. Said respectfully: "Miss Zhou, Mr. Cheng asked me to send you and Ah Bao to the hotel." ”

Cheng Wei has probably had something to do in the past few days, and he has never appeared.

Xu Mingze became the best excuse at this time, and Zhou He said lightly: "Thank you on my behalf, Mr. Cheng, no need, Ah Bao and I will go to Dr. Xu's house." ”

The man didn't expect a doctor to pop up at all, and he couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't dare to entangle, and watched Xu Mingze holding the little guy in one hand and carrying a toy in the other hand to take Zhou He to the elevator.

It wasn't until the three of them entered the elevator that the man hurriedly took out the phone and called Cheng Wei like ants on a hot pot.

The three of them soon arrived at the parking lot, Xu Mingze drove an SUV with a lot of space. Put the things away and sit in the car, Zhou He thought Xu Mingze would ask something in the scene just now, but he didn't ask anything, patiently fastened the seat belt for the little guy, sat in the cab and fastened the seat belt himself, and said, "Let's go to the playground first, okay?"

This is for Xiao Bao, not for Zhou He.

Although the little one's current physical condition is not suitable for playing, the playground is a place that the little one likes. It's better to let him go over and have a look. As long as it's not a thrilling project, you can also let him try it a little.

The little guy who came out was a little timid and looked at Zhou He.

Zhou He also planned to go to the playground, touched the little guy's head, and said softly: "Is it okay to go to the playground?" ”

The little one hesitated for a moment and nodded.

I have to say that Xu Mingze is a very qualified tour guide. There is only one day, and he has a full schedule, and the rest time is also reasonably arranged, and it will not make the little guy who is still very weak feel tired.

After spending most of the day outside, the little guy ate something he hadn't eaten. He doesn't spend money indiscriminately, Zhou He asked him to pick gifts for his grandparents at home, and he also picked the most practical ones.

Grandma's horn comb had long been broken in half, and he bought a horn comb for grandma. And grandpa likes to drink tea, and the tea he drinks at home is coarse tea that grandpa doesn't want to give to others, so he bought a small bag for grandpa very luxuriously, planning to give grandpa a taste.

The more sensible he is, the more poignant it feels. But neither Zhou He nor Xu Mingze showed it, and they both praised the gift prepared by the little guy for being great.

When the three of them returned to Xu Mingcheng's house, it was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon, and the little guy was a little tired, so he got into the car and fell asleep.

Xu Mingze took off his coat and asked Zhou He to cover the little guy.

Zhou He took it and covered the little one.

Xu Mingze's home is not far from the hospital, only five or six minutes away by car. His house is a very well renovated 3 bedroom and spacious.

The little guy didn't wake up, Xu Mingze asked Zhou He to sit down, hugged the little guy on the guest bed and covered the quilt for him, and then went out to pour a glass of water for Zhou He.

He didn't sleep last night, and he spent the whole day with him today. But he didn't seem to be tired at all, so he didn't sit down, and after washing his hands, he opened the refrigerator, checked the ingredients inside, reported his name one by one, and said, "What does Bao like to eat?"

Zhou He put down the cup in his hand, walked to the kitchen, and said, "You are also tired for a day, let me come, my cooking skills are barely passable." ”

Xu Mingze didn't refuse, nodded in response, and said, "I'll give you a hand." ”

Zhou He originally wanted to say no, but he took out all the ingredients in the refrigerator one by one and let Zhou He choose.

Although the two are not very familiar with each other, they cooperate tacitly. Zhou He is a little unaccustomed to being in an unfamiliar kitchen, but fortunately, Xu Mingze will hand her whatever she needs in time.

She is serious in what she does, her movements are neat, and she is completely distracted.

Xu Mingze saw that he couldn't help anything, so he took the dishes out and put them on the table. As soon as I arrived in the living room, I heard Zhou He's mobile phone ringing in the living room.

Her phone was in her bag, and he couldn't easily go through it, so he said, "Your phone rang." ”

Zhou Heoh sighed, wiped his hands and went to the living room to take out the phone.

The call was made by Cheng Wei, this was not the first call he made, he had already made several calls when they were children outside.

Zhou He hung up directly without looking at it, and then went back to the kitchen.

But she obviously underestimated Cheng Wei's thick-skinnedness, and when the little guy woke up and started eating, her phone rang again.

She could fully think that it was Cheng Wei, and got up to turn off the mobile phone directly. But this did not affect Cheng Wei's call, and the mobile phone screen lit up for a while.

The phone rang several times, and she was expressionless, and when she finished eating and cleaned up the bowl, Xu Mingze asked, "Do you need help?"

He probably thought it was someone who was harassing Zhou He.

Zhou He shook his head and said no, saying it was okay.

Xu Mingze didn't ask much, went to get the new toothbrush and towel that had been prepared, and took the little guy to wash.

When I came out with the little guy to wash up, I saw Zhou He standing on the balcony outside in a daze. The light stretched her thin shadow long.

Xu Mingze glanced over there, quickly retracted his gaze, and took the little guy to the room to sleep.

When the little one had fallen asleep, he came out of the room, and Zhou He was still standing on the balcony. It looks like it should have moved.

Xu Mingze looked at her back and stood for a while before walking over.

Zhou He didn't know what to think, so he was so engrossed in thinking that he didn't even hear his footsteps. Just staring out the window. It wasn't until he stood for a while and felt that something was wrong and came back to his senses that he found Xu Mingze standing on the side.

Zhou He was a little uncomfortable, and called Doctor Xu.

The way she looked when she was in a daze and the way she came back to her senses were completely different. Xu Mingze nodded, looked at the time, and said, "If you can't sleep, you can watch TV." ”

His TV hasn't been on for a long time, he rarely watches it, and the TV is just a decoration.

People stayed up late last night, where can Zhou He let him not rest because of himself. smiled and said, "Don't look at it, I have to hurry tomorrow, I want to rest early." ”

Xu Mingze was not reluctant, nodded, and said, "Then go wash up." Towels and toiletries are ready. ”

Zhou He politely thanked him, and then walked to the bathroom.

After she entered the bathroom, her muted mobile phone lit up again, Xu Mingze looked down, and there was an unfamiliar number on it.

He looked at it for a while, but didn't pick it up.

When Zhou He came out of washing, the mobile phone screen had long since turned on, but there was a text message lying quietly in the inbox that had just been sent for a while. It was sent by Cheng Wei.

Zhou He didn't plan to look at it, but after standing for a while, he clicked on the text message.

There are a few simple words: "Little Ahe, my patience is very limited." ”
