Chapter 3 The Lonely Old Man
After Zheng Yichen had a full meal, he said a few jokes to the group of nurses, and then he noticed the nurse who was playing with the red roses on the side: "Sister Yazhi, this flower is so beautiful, who gave it away?" β
The nurse named Kuang Yazhi smiled faintly: "My husband just asked someone to send it, and today is our fifth wedding anniversary." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Really? Congratulations, congratulations. β
At this moment, the phone on the stage rang, and Kwong Yazhi answered the phone, it turned out that the patient was about to finish the drip, and the nurse was notified through the bedside pager to change the infusion bottle.
This patient's bed happened to be in charge of Kwong Yazhi, so she hurriedly put the red rose in her hand carefully in a conspicuous position, and then left to change the infusion bottle for the patient.
When she walked a little farther and entered the ward, Xiaotong suddenly muttered in a low voice: "Stinky man, he will only engage in these faΓ§ade skills, and he will accompany Sister Kuang Yazhi more at home when he has time, and don't mess around with flowers and grass, isn't it more practical?" β
Zheng Yichen couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, although he had been studying in this hospital for a short time, he had also heard about Kuang Yazhi's husband's affair.
Her husband's name is Zhen Zhongliu, which means "pillar middle", and he is a gynecologist in this hospital.
The people in the hospital privately gave him a nickname called "Zhen Xialiu", and he was indeed worthy of this nickname, he worked hard day and night when he was young, sowed countless seeds, and suddenly had the idea of starting a family at the age of twenty-eight, and used rhetoric to stun Kuang Yazhi, who was not deeply involved in the world at the time, and actually married this notorious person in a daze.
In the first year of this marriage, Zhen Zhongliu was indeed self-cultivation and a model of a good husband. But after Kwong Yazhi became pregnant, he began to regain his old self and went out to spend all day drinking.
Even on the day Kuang Yazhi gave birth, he did not accompany him, but went out to ****, and happened to encounter the public security inspection and arrested him back to the public security bureau.
The moment when a woman needs the company of a man the most, and that man sleeps on the belly of another woman, the blow can be imagined.
It is said that Kuang Yazhi has committed suicide several times, but fortunately she was discovered early and rescued, and after being persuaded by others, for the sake of her newly born son, she ignored Zhen Zhongliu's affairs and pinned all her emotions on her son.
Sure enough, "men are afraid of entering the wrong industry, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man", it's a pity, such a good woman. Zheng Yichen sighed in his heart, from Kuang Yazhi's act of placing roses just now, he knew how deep her love for Zhen Zhongliu was, but it was a pity that she was affectionate, and she was not a person, but a walking reproductive organ.
After he finished eating, Xiaotong took the initiative to help him wash the lunch box, and the two of them changed into casual clothes and left together.
As soon as they walked out of the spacious, bright and gorgeously decorated outpatient hall, an Audi car stopped beside them, and a smiling face poked out of the window, which turned out to be Chen Yang, an orthopedic doctor: "Such a coincidence, you are also off work?" Why don't I give you a ride? β
Xiaotong pursed his lips and politely refused: "No need, let's just go take the bus." β
Zheng Yichen smiled secretly in his heart: "Where is there such a coincidence, who in the hospital doesn't know that you are interested in Xiaotong?" Obviously, I was squatting here to prepare for courtesy, but I didn't expect that someone in Zheng actually made a light bulb. β
Chen Yang is recognized by the whole hospital as the fifth diamond king, the second generation of standard officials and the second generation of wealth, his father is the vice president of a state-owned enterprise, and his mother is the chairman of the Municipal Women's Federation.
The two in-laws are known for their tough style and resoluteness in their respective fields of work, and they are not less quarrelsome because of some things on weekdays, but they are the same for the doting of this only son, and they respond to their needs.
Chen Yang also has a good background, but he is not infected with the arrogance of a gentleman, he is polite and very friendly, and every time he goes out to eat, he grabs his pocket first, and he does not shirk the work he should do, no matter how hard and tired he is.
He came to the hospital for half a year to work, and it didn't take long for him to fall in love with the eye-catching Xiaotong, and immediately held a banquet that night to invite the young talents who were not yet married in the hospital, and made a declaration to everyone loudly through the wine: "I recognize it, Li Xiaotong is my wife in this life, everyone here give face, let the little brother, wait for our wedding day, you are all best men!" β
This incident spread in the whole hospital the next day, and in the eyes of others, it was a bold and sincere act of love, but in the eyes of the person concerned, Xiaotong, it became the arrogance of the gentleman's son, and since then he has been lukewarm to Chen Yang, and the two have not made any progress for more than half a year.
Zheng Yichen whispered to Xiaotong: "It's rare to be gracious, don't refuse, what kind of bus are you waiting for if you have an Audi?" β
Xiaotong said lightly: "I like to sit in the bus and laugh, and I don't want to cry in the Audi car, do you care?" β
Zheng Yichen smiled softly: "I told you not to watch so many Korean dramas, the values are completely distorted, it is not good to be poor, and hating the rich is also a disease, which must be cured!" β
"What I hate is not money, but Chen Yang, and ...... Don't you want me to squeeze the bus with you? Xiaotong bit her lip, and the last sentence was squeezed out of her teeth word by word.
A woman's hint is so explicit, it can be said to be explicit, as long as it is not a wooden head, you can hear it.
However, Zheng Yichen's head seemed to be really made of wood, and there was a heartless smile on his face: "I don't want to at all, we are really not going well today, I want to go to Jiangnan Village to visit Uncle Qiang." β
Xiaotong had a gloomy face, took two steps forward, opened the back seat door and sat in: "Drive!" β
"Yichen hasn't gotten in the car yet." Chen Yang motioned for Zheng Yichen to get into the car, he shook his head and said, "No need, I have other things to do, let's go." β
Chen Yang was very grateful to Zheng Yichen for his kindness in letting him be alone with the goddess, secretly clenched his fists and said "thank you" silently, and drove away.
Zheng Yichen waited for them to go far away, and the corners of his slightly raised mouth drooped down, turning into a wry smile.
How could he not know Xiaotong's affection for him?
It's just that his heart has long been occupied by another woman, and he can't accommodate the position of a second woman.
When he read "The Condor Heroes", he hated Yang Guo the most because he just loved Xiaolongnu, but he showed mercy everywhere, engaged in ambiguity, and harmed many good women, even Guo Xiang did not marry for life because of him.
Therefore, Zheng Yichen's code of conduct is to never be ambiguous with a girl he doesn't like, and if he is entangled in love, he will directly cut it off.
"Gangnam Village Station has arrived, please get off the train in advance to the door to prepare."
Zheng Yichen took the train for half an hour and finally got off at the station.
In the narrow corridor in the village, I turned east and west, walked into a high-rise building with a dilapidated outer wall, climbed up the stairs step by step, and just reached the third floor, I heard the voice of an elderly man scolding loudly from the fifth floor, sweeping the corridor.
When Zheng Yichen heard this familiar voice, he laughed in his heart: "Isn't Uncle Qiang seriously ill?" No matter how angry it is, it still doesn't converge at all. β
Zheng Yichen quickened his pace, and after a while, he came to the fifth floor, and when he arrived at the door of 502, the door was hidden, so he knocked on the door and pushed the door open and went in without waiting for someone to come.
The room was simply furnished, three young people wearing the same style vest were cleaning, and one was standing at the head of the bed, reprimanded by the old man on the bed: "Lao Tzu doesn't have a few days to live, what's wrong with wanting to smoke a cigarette, and I still want you to take care of it?" β
The old man was scrawny, his face haggard, his eyes looked unrefreshed, and the occasional sparkle could make the hairs stand on end to those he scanned.
This is an old man who lived a glorious life when he was young, and now he is very depressed, and he has to rely on people to help him live, such an old man has a higher heart than the sky when he is young, and in the end he loses to time, and it is inevitable that he will be a little short-tempered.
"Pump...... Smoking is not good for your body. The young man whispered.
"Lao Tzu's body, Lao Tzu knows it himself, so you don't have to worry about it."
The old man trembled with anger, with a cigarette in the corner of his mouth, and the thumb of his right hand swiped the flint of the lighter in his hand, and the sparks flew everywhere, but no flames came out, and the cigarette naturally could not be lit.
Zheng Yichen stepped forward and grabbed the old man's lighter, helped him light the fire and lit the cigarette, watched the old man spit out a smoke ring comfortably, and said with a smile: "Uncle Qiang, give me a cigarette and let me enjoy it too." It's all suffocated in the hospital. β
Uncle Qiang glanced at him: "The rabbit cub will take advantage of me, a lonely old man, the cigarette is there, take it yourself." β
Zheng Yichen took a cigarette and said to the young man standing aside: "Xiaogui, I'll just be here, you go and visit other old people." β
Zheng Yichen is also one of them, and on Saturdays and Sundays, he will come to the neighborhood to clean up some elderly people's homes, deliver rice and salt, and do some trivial things within his ability.
Xiao Gui breathed a sigh of relief when he said this: "You are finally here, we have visited other old people, this is the last stop, we can also call it a day and go back when you come." β
Uncle Qiang is notoriously weird-tempered, he only has a good face for Zheng Yichen alone, they didn't want to come here in the first place, today Zheng Yichen was delayed, they dragged it out until the end and didn't see him appear, so they had to come to Uncle Qiang's place, and they were scolded for being bloody, but fortunately, Zheng Yichen came to the rescue, and these people left cleanly immediately.
Only this old man and young man were left, swallowing clouds and spitting fog in the house.
At this moment, a lazy cat meow came from the corner, and a fat big yellow cat flicked its short tail and ran out, rubbing back and forth at Zheng Yichen's heels, looking very affectionate.
"Robin, are you awake?" Zheng Yichen held the cat in his arms with one hand, "Good guy, you're fat again." β
Robin broke free from his embrace, jumped onto Uncle Qiang's bed, squeezed into the bed, meowed angrily, and slowly closed his eyes under Uncle Qiang's caresses, the lazy cat woke up for less than a minute, and fell asleep again.
"It turns out that I was so affectionate just now to use me to pick it up." Zheng Yichen shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Hehe, of course, my cat is smart."
