The TV was on, but the door to the kitchen was closed, and only the "boom" of the range hood could be heard faintly coming through the door.
"Hey, you're back, just in time, let's eat. After a while, the kitchen door opened, and Xiao Chen came out with a bowl of soup, and said loudly to Lao Xia with a smile.
Lao Xia immediately stood up and walked to the dining table. Stuffy prawns, sweet and sour pork ribs, garlic water spinach, tomato and egg soup have been neatly placed there.
"I'm going to serve dinner. Xiao Chen, who put down the soup, turned around and went into the kitchen again, and suddenly poked his head out again: "Do you want to drink some wine?" There are still a few bottles of wine left from the last treat. ”
"Okay, let's have a drink. Lao Xia pulled the chair out and said, "I'll go get the wine." ”
"No, no, you sit, I'll come!" Xiao Chen hurriedly took out two pairs of dishes and chopsticks from the kitchen, then ran to the small study and took out a bottle of "Gujing Tribute Wine", sat down at the table, but found that there was no wine glass, and hurriedly got up to find the wine glass.
Lao Xia didn't say anything more, just sat there, watching Xiao Chen busy back and forth.
"Come, I'll have a drink with you. Xiao Chen, who finally sat down, filled both wine glasses with wine, handed one to Lao Xia, and said with one cup held up by himself.
Lao Xia didn't speak, only picked up the wine glass and tilted his head, and drank the wine in the glass. Seeing this, Xiao Chen also tilted his neck, until he choked, coughed a little twice, Xiao Chen picked up the wine glass again and drank it dry.
Xiao Chen, who drank a glass of wine, picked up his chopsticks, sandwiched a few pieces of pork ribs and a few shrimps, and put them into Lao Xia's bowl. Lao Xia looked at Xiao Chen, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and lowered his head to finish eating the dishes in the bowl.
When Lao Xia was immersed in eating, the wine glass was filled with wine by Xiao Chen at some point, and this time the two of them raised the wine glass in unison, raised their heads, and drank it dry.
After three glasses of wine. "Put it away, let's all stop drinking! Lao Xia said to Xiao Chen.
"Okay, okay. I'll go and serve you dinner. Xiao Chen coughed lightly, took Lao Xia's bowl and served him a bowl of rice, and put some shrimp and pork ribs into Lao Xia's bowl.
Seeing that Lao Xia was eating very fragrantly, Xiao Chen found that his bowl was still empty, so he hurriedly went to serve himself a bowl of rice and sat down to eat.
"I'll serve you another bowl. As soon as Lao Xia finished eating the last bite of rice in the bowl, Xiao Chen said.
"No need. Lao Xia said, "I'm already full." ”
"Then have another bowl of soup. Xiao Chen picked up Lao Xia's bowl as he spoke, only to realize that he didn't take the soup spoon, and ran to the kitchen to get the soup spoon.
After the meal was finished, Xiao Chen grabbed Lao Xia's hand and put away the dishes and chopsticks: "Don't wash the dishes today, I'll come, you go sit and wait for me." ”
Lao Xia didn't say anything, listened to Xiao Chen's words, walked to the living room sofa and sat down. After a while, Xiao Chen brought out another cup of tea in the kitchen and put it in front of Lao Xia, and then went to wash the dishes.
"I'm alright, let's go. Xiao Chen ran over and stood on the edge of the sofa and shouted Lao Xia.
Lao Xia got up, looked at Xiao Chen, and reached out to untie the apron she was still tied around her waist: "Let's go." ”
The two ate out of the house together, walked on the gravel road of the community, reached the pond, and sat down on the bench.
"As doctors and nurses, none of us can be 100% sure that we will not encounter something at work, and we should not have too much burden on our hearts. Xiao Chen turned his head and said to Lao Xia.
"I know, I'm fine. After Lao Xia finished speaking, he touched Xiao Chen's head again: "Don't worry about me." ”
"Today, the leader talked to me and said that you were going to "orient" the ward, and asked me if I could continue to work in the neurosurgery department, and I agreed. Xiao Chen said again.
"It's fine. After Lao Xia finished speaking, he didn't say anything again.
The two of them sat there, looking at the water in the pond, without a single ripple.
