Chapter Seventy-Four: The Visitation
In the past few days, nurse Xiaoli has been very discouraged. She stood in front of the "When to Taste" shop, which sells ice cream, like a strange animal, watched curiously by passers-by. There was no grocery store in the hospital, so Xiaoli had to leave the hospital and go outside to buy ice cream. People rarely see a woman in a nurse's uniform coming out to buy cold drinks on the street, and her white nurse's uniform is so eye-catching that everyone can't help but glance at it when they walk nearby.
Xiaoli pursed her mouth and looked very wronged. The shopkeeper looked at her pitiful appearance, so he said, "Nian has bought so many ice creams, I'll give you another one." With that, he opened the freezer and grabbed another ice cream.
Xiaoli pressed the shopkeeper's hand and said, "You just gave it to me for free, and I don't want it." She looked a little puffed up.
The owner is a middle-aged man with dark skin. He felt the tenderness and delicacy of the young woman's palm, and wanted not to withdraw his hand, but in full view of everyone, it would damage his reputation by doing so, so he had to withdraw his hand without a trace. "Who is angry with our little girl?"
Xiaoli wrinkled her nose, let out a heavy "hum" from her nasal cavity, and said: "I'm not that rogue patient! ”
As soon as the conversation box was opened, Xiaoli tilted out Taotao's resentment. She recounted the vices of her patients: "Seven days ago, he wanted to eat popcorn, and I walked around for a long time, and I didn't even see a peanut, so I bought some apples and went back. I originally thought that the patient should not be an unreasonable person, but I didn't expect that he would be so unreasonable! I spent a long time talking to him, saying that there was no popcorn seller nearby, and he just didn't believe it, and turned his head like a rattle! I peeled the apple, and coaxed him to eat it like a child, but he just didn't eat it! He had no choice but to go to a movie theater in the evening and buy two or three buckets of popcorn. After two days, his preferences changed again, and he no longer wanted to eat popcorn, but ice cream. When I first heard the news, I was still a little happy in my heart. Isn't there an ice cream seller outside the hospital? It's much closer than the popcorn place! So I came to you and bought one. When I handed the ice cream to my patient, he was so happy that he licked it all by two. I thought there was nothing wrong with me, so I wanted to go out and take a break, but I didn't expect that bastard, grinning and saying to me, it tastes good, let me go buy another one!"
Xiaoli said resentfully, and as soon as she bit her teeth at the ice cream in front of her, she tore off part of the outer wrapper. Xiaoli continued: "I couldn't bear to buy him another one, and guess what?" Xiaoli swallowed a mouthful of ice cream viciously and said, "He just tasted it and never ate it again!"
The middle-aged shopkeeper listened attentively, and seeing that the ice cream in her hand was quickly eaten, he took out another one from the open freezer and handed it to her.
Xiaoli naturally took the ice cream, and the two rows of small front teeth pulled at the wrapper, and then ripped off another piece. She said, "I asked him why you didn't eat it?" He said that I had already eaten this flavor, and you could buy me something else to taste. But he is my patient, and he must be patient. I had to put on a smile and buy him a different flavor of ice cream somewhere else. If he hadn't been a man, I really suspected that he was pregnant, and he wanted to taste everything, such as sour plum soup, agave fruit, and a whole bunch of things, and he would have to buy them for him. ”
Xiaoli snorted and ate three ice creams, but she hadn't finished her words. The middle-aged shopkeeper habitually handed over the fifth ice cream. "I've been in hell for the past few days. What is the nurse's job? The quilt is over, and he treats me as a servant! I spend all my time around him 24 hours a day, except for eating and going to the toilet!" Xiaoli pointed to her dark circles with her right hand, which was not holding ice cream, and said, "Do you see it? These dark circles are all made by that bastard!"
The middle-aged shopkeeper was very surprised, and while handing Xiaoli the fifth ice cream, he said, "Is he abusing you like this?"
Xiaoli slapped the table and jumped up, a drop of ice cream liquid fell on her chest, and she didn't know: "What's the matter! You know, his tastes are getting worse and worse, what sour plum soup, agave fruit, he quickly lost interest in these things, except for seven or eight ice creams a day, the other things to eat are really strange. Before the New Year in the summer, he had to eat dumplings, and before the Mid-Autumn Festival arrived, he had to eat moon cakes, and what was even more outrageous was that one day, he had just gotten up, and he was still yawning, and he said to me that he wanted a table full of Han. ”
The middle-aged shopkeeper smiled and said, "That's a bit excessive. ”
Xiaoli took a sip of ice cream and said, "I didn't give him a good look at that time." Maybe my face was too ugly, so he gave in a little and ate a pot of braised chicken instead. ”
The middle-aged shopkeeper said, "It seems that the patient you serve is a complete foodie!"
Xiaoli said hatefully: "I really poured mold for eight lifetimes before I met such a patient." It's just a pregnant woman, and there are not so many things to do, he is even more pregnant than a pregnant woman!"
The middle-aged shopkeeper comforted: "When he is discharged from the hospital, you will be relieved." ”
Xiaoli casually took an ice cream from the freezer, snorted coldly, and said, "I hope so." With that, she hurried to the hospital.
The middle-aged shopkeeper looked at the freezer with only half of the goods left, and muttered to himself, "It seems to be a bit of a loss." ”
As soon as Xiaoli came to the door of No. 107, she saw a strange combination.
An old man, holding a basket of flowers, stands in front of an empty hospital bed. He was wearing a gray tunic suit, and in his meticulously combed hair, he occasionally saw a few strands of white hair like snow. His back was still straight, like that of a newly discharged soldier.
Standing next to the old man was a scantily clad young lady. Her costume is very peculiar, as if she came out of the world of comics. She wore a tight-fitting school uniform on her upper body and a short black skirt underneath, and her smooth and slender legs were exposed to the air in this way, enough to arouse the reverie of any man.
When an old man and a young girl walk together, it always makes people want to go in the other direction. He paid for money, she paid for her youth, and many things in the world are always so simple and cruel. Xiaoli thought blankly, and couldn't help but look down on it.
When the old man heard the footsteps, he turned around slowly, still with a warm smile on his face. He said, "Little girl, what about the people in this ward?"
The old man's kind smile diluted a trace of Xiaoli's resistance, but she still felt a little disdainful, so she said a little coldly: "He may be in the toilet." "He eats too much, and food comes in from above, and always comes out from below.
The old man looked around and suddenly realized: "There is no toilet in this ward, he went outside to relieve himself." Or was I not thinking about it, I should have transferred him to the senior ward. ”
Xiaoli thought, is there a toilet in other wards? Naturally, she doesn't know, as long as the money is paid, not to mention that there can be a toilet in the ward, it is okay to have a kitchen.
The old man found a chair, sat down, and said, "Since he hasn't come yet, I'll wait a while." ”
The scantily clad woman remained motionless, and when she heard this, she said in a metallic tone: "Then I'll go outside and stand guard." ”
Xiaoli listened to the woman's voice and her eyes widened in surprise. Her voice sounded very special, not quite like a human sound.
The scantily clad woman turned around, and without looking at Xiaoli with strange blue eyes, she walked straight out of the door and stood on the side of the door like a sentry soldier.
Xiaoli was in a trance for a long time before pointing at the woman with ice cream in her hand and saying, "You are a robot?!"
The woman still ignored him.
The guest was wearing a hospital gown and walked out of the men's toilet boredly. I don't know why, but since he knew that he was fully recovered and a normal person, he really wanted to eat. He searched for a bunch of food on the Internet with his mobile phone, and when he saw something he wanted to taste, he asked Xiaoli to buy it. A nurse's job is to serve patients, and this is always in mind.
The customs guest ate from June 24th to June 30th. He wanted to pat his ass and leave, and go to find some delicious food in person, but these doctors were really unkind, always saying that you need to be observed, your disease may recur, etc., so he had to stay in the hospital for a few days. In addition to the smell of disinfectant water in the hospital, people in white clothes are so bored that they have to eat something to satisfy their cravings.
Three days ago, Guan Ke's parents came to visit. Mom was in tears, Dad's expression was serious, and the two of them had to force the customer to tell the cause and effect. Guan Ke didn't want to tell the real situation, so he talked a lot about it and talked about it in the west, and finally prevaricated with "an accidental car accident and didn't hit a key part". Before leaving, the couple looked at him with suspicion, making him look like a liar.
After his parents left, no one came to see him again, only Gao Yi came over from time to time, and asked if he had seen any strange women. Whenever this happens, the customs officer will pretend that I don't understand. He doubted that after living in this hospital for a long time, he could also become an actor.
