Chapter 10 Eat well and sleep well
"The transcript is done, it's time to go home, look, it's almost four o'clock in the afternoon, and if I get home, it will take more than an hour, enough to choke!" Zhen Fan lazily looked at his watch and took out his mobile phone, which had six missed calls, all of which belonged to Eddie.
Dial it back, and it will be through right away.
"Hey, buddy, I thought you were kidnapped, or destroyed. You know, if I didn't get through to my brother's phone on two phone calls before, I would definitely call the police! ”
Eddie screamed sharply, and the peculiarity of the black vocal cords made Zhen Fan leave the microphone far away from his ears.
"Where are you going? I'm ...... now," Zhen Fan looked back at Sarah.
"Santa Barra Neighborhood Boulevard...... No. 1156. Sarah said the name of the place.
"Did you hear that? …… That's not my girlfriend, oh, I'm out and waiting for you on the street, right...... Next to it is the Special Investigation Bureau, haode, zaijian! ”
Hanging up and putting the phone in his pocket, Zhen Fan waved at Sarah.
"Zaijian beauty!"
Zhen Fan also whistled.
"You also have a part in this matter, don't try to escape!" Sarah threatened Zhen Fan, "And you're also my advisor, aren't you?" ”
"No, I'm not!" Zhen Fanqiang defended himself.
"Tomorrow I will send you the relevant documents to your doorstep, anyway, I know the road, it's not far!" Sarah curled the corners of her mouth and smiled a little smugly.
"I have a lawyer! Nelson, do you know? A villain among lawyers, it's hard to entangle! Don't you want to be in trouble? "Poor Charles, this is the fourth time he has been called by Zhen Fan by the wrong name, in the only four times he has said his name.
"But we police officers usually make deals with lawyers, even if he's a villain!"
Sarah smiled and watched Zhen Fan run away.
"Boss, Chinese, or Japanese?"
A tall and mighty strong man walked over and stretched out his head to look in the direction where Zhen Fan had left.
"Bright, we've got a job to do!" Sarah ignored him and walked straight to her office, "Wren, Irene, we've got a job to do!" ”
Zhen Fan walked out of the investigation bureau and just chose a somewhat shady place at the entrance of the street to stand, with a few coconut trees beside him.
"Gah!"
Add's taxi arrived, as fierce as ever.
"Dude, you're in a problem, aren't you? Look at the place behind you, it's infested with strips, you must be in trouble! Come on in, talk about it, and I can point you in! ”
Eddie gushed endlessly, and before Zhen Fan could do a good job, he began to spit.
"Send me home first, I don't think about anything now, it's like cooking a big meal by myself and then going to bed after eating." Zhen Fan leaned back on the seat very comfortably.
The taxi flew up right away.
After walking for a while, Eddie's mouth, which had been held for a long time, began to be idle again.
"Man, is your trouble coming from the strips? I have a lot of experience in dealing with strips, talk to me and I will definitely be able to help you! ”
"Shut up, Rick!" Zhen Fan replied lazily.
"Damn, Eddie, Add, Add, Add......"
"Are you a repeater?"
"It's not funny, you have to remember my name, I'm your brother, we're good buddies, aren't we?" Add was annoyed.
"Okay, Add, you're my buddy, but I want to be quiet for a while!"
"That's pretty much it!"
Add nodded contentedly, forgetting what he wanted to say. Soon to the doorstep.
"Uh, Add...... Yes, it's Add, by the way, your brother, you just mentioned! Zhen Fan stood at the door and spoke to Eddie, "You said that your brother was dragged into the water by a strange fish in the lake, right?" Which lake is it? ”
"Yes, it's just a short distance from the suburbs, half an hour if you're from the Valley of Wine! Damn, why are you mentioning this? It's better to stay away from there, my brother is not alone. ”
"I know, Zaijian!"
Zhen Fan returned home, stretched his body very comfortably, leaned on the sofa for a while, and then began to prepare his own dinner. Beef stew with potatoes, this dish is not tired of eating, but Zhen Fan is too lazy to make other dishes, this is the most convenient.
"Tuk Tuk!" A very soft knock on the door.
"Is it Claire?"
Zhen Fan opened the door as he spoke, and then looked down and saw Claire standing at the door, holding a baby tightly in her hand, a pair of melancholy eyes lit up when she saw Zhen Fan, and a smile bloomed on her face.
"I've been here twice, and this is the third time, and you're not home!" Claire was led into the house by Zhen Fan, and then asked her to sit down on the sofa in the living room, while she held the metal bowl, and then walked to the sofa with a tray, put the bowl on the coffee table, and the aroma of beef and potatoes made Claire swallow her saliva, and then looked at Zhen Fan pitifully.
"Want to eat?"
"Hmm!" Claire nodded vigorously and looked at Zhen Fan expectantly.
"Wait a minute, little one!"
Zhen Fan found a plate, shoveled some potatoes out of the saucepan, put a metal spoon on the plate, and beckoned to Claire.
"Come here, Claire, let's eat together!"
Claire clapped her hands, giggled and walked towards the dining table, climbed into a chair, sat upright, and let Zhen Fan tie her napkin.
Claire was very edible, a plate of beef and potatoes was quickly wiped out, and her little belly was a little bulging. Then go to the couch and lie down, humming on all fours.
"It's delicious, ...... later. Can I still eat it? ”
Claire hummed and chirped for a while, then suddenly turned her head to Zhen Fan's flickering wink, and asked with some hesitation.
"Of course you can, Claire is an angel, a baby, of course you can eat my beef stew with potatoes!" God knows what angels, babes have to do with eating beef stewed potatoes. But this sentence was very Anclair's heart, and she smiled with satisfaction, lying on the sofa and watching cartoons.
Zhen Fan sat on the side of her head, pinched her little baby fat face, and then slowly massaged her head with the fingers of both hands.
Claire was comfortable, watched and soon fell asleep.
It's been a long time since this little girl has slept so peacefully. Zhen Fan thought about it, walked into his study, then took out a jade pendant, rubbed it in his hand for a while, gently came to Claire's side, and carefully put this jade pendant on her neck.
There was another knock at the door, then Anne's voice.
"Zhen, I'm here to pick up Claire!"
Zhen Fan carefully put Claire's head down, slowed down, walked over to open the door, Anne stood at the door, and then saw Claire sleeping on the sofa.
"She's asleep! It's very stable! ”
Zhen Fan whispered to Anne and asked Anne to come in.
She ...... Loved being with you! Anne looked a little embarrassed, after all, she was a little worried about him before, but after thinking about it, she felt that Zhen Fan was not bad, and she put her heart down, and she couldn't stand Claire's pleading, so she let Claire come over.
"She's here three times today, and you're not at home!"
Anne sat down a little timidly and was opposite Zhen Fan.
"Well, yes, it's been delayed these days because of the exam for the medical qualification certificate!"
"Zhen, are you a doctor?"
Anne's voice was a little happy, after all, her neighbor was a man with a relatively noble profession, which made people feel more at ease.
"Well, yes, it's Chinese medicine, when I was in China, I studied Chinese medicine, and I plan to open a clinic for Chinese medicine and acupuncture, just on this street, but I have to wait for two months until the qualification certificate is issued!"
Zhen Fan shrugged his shoulders, looking indifferent.
"Oh, that's it! Congratulations in advance! Anne stretched out her hand, Zhen Fan shook it, it was very soft.
“xiexie!”
"I've got to get Claire home first, I've been bothering you for so long, Xiexie!" Anne said, stood up, walked to Claire's side, picked her up very carefully, and nodded at Zhen Fan.
"Claire had dinner with me, it was beef stew with potatoes, a whole plate, I think she didn't have to eat dinner anymore!"
Approaching the door, Zhen Fan said to Anne with a smile.
"Really? That's great news, Claire hasn't eaten so much in a long time, and she hasn't slept so heavily in a long time, it's really you! ”
Anne was a little surprised, but also a little grateful.
"It's okay, I believe that tonight, she will have a good night's sleep!"
In fact, it is also true.
Anne walked all the way back, her husband Thomas saw Anne holding Claire, about to speak, Anne put her finger to her lips to make a silent gesture, in Thomas's surprised look, walked into Claire's room, gently put her on the bed, never woke up during the whole process, slept soundly.
Just as she put Claire down, Annie's eyes fell on Claire's neck, and a red thread tied with a piece of crystal jade pendant was worn around Claire's neck. I couldn't help but reach out and take a look!
"Is Claire asleep?"
Seeing Anne coming out of Claire's room, Thomas asked.
"Yes, it's weird, I slept well."
Anne pursed her lips, then sat across from Thomas, looking at him.
"It's been a long time since Claire slept so well and didn't eat well, and sometimes I'm really worried she's going to collapse......" Anne said, her eyes a little red, her voice a little choked, and it was clear that she was trying to control her emotions.
"Maybe we should let her have more contact with Zhen, in Zhen's place, Claire is obviously much happier, her mood is very good, she can eat and sleep!"
Trying to ease his wife's mood, Thomas said something reassuring.
"Well, maybe you're right, by the way, Zhen is still a doctor, and he studied Chinese medicine in China, maybe it has something to do with Chinese medicine, right? Maybe he'll be able to cure Claire! ”
"Does TCM have an effect on depression?"
Thomas looked at Anne in surprise, very early, a doctor said that Claire had depression, God knows what depression such a young child has, and some said that she was autistic, but she has never been cured.
"Maybe, but it works, doesn't it?"
Anne pursed her lips, wanting to make a decision!
