At this moment, my mobile phone on the coffee table rang. It's a call from the hospital.

"I'm sorry, Dad, Mom, I'm going to the hospital. There was a patient waiting for me. "I finally found an excuse to escape.

"There you go." Father waved his hand. He didn't look at me.

"Wait a minute, set sail, Mom has one more thing to ask you." My mother dragged me to the kitchen, "What's the matter with this girl in your house?" ”

I gave my mother a brief explanation of the situation.

"You're not going to have a crush on her, are you?" My mother stared at me.

"How so? People are still in high school. "Mother's mind is too much, and it's too outrageous.

"Who can say anything about feelings." My mother was still uneasy.

"Absolutely not, Mom."

"I'm worried you'll make a mistake."

"You're too worried." I'm so angry and funny.

My parents went back that afternoon. They refused to stay for one night.

At dinner in the evening, Xu Xiaorou told me that her mother talked to her so much before she went to school that she was late for school.

"My mother is very suspicious," I said, "and you don't mind. ”

"It's fine. I just didn't feel comfortable with her. Grandma was rambling and always asked me something about you. But how do I know what happened to my uncle? ”

"So she's even more skeptical." I say.

"Yes. I always felt like she was suspicious of what I had to do with you. ”

"I'm sorry. I've already told my mom about you. They have come today for my divorce. My wife and I divorced without consulting them, and I kept it a secret from them. ”

"Oh."

"They called me to go back after they knew I got divorced, and I kept pushing it off." I say.

"Then my grandparents are here to ask about the sin today." Xu Xiaorou said.

"Didn't you hear our bickering?" Our noise was so loud that Xu Xiaorou must have heard it in the bedroom.

"I hear you. I'm scared. ”

"You're worried you're arguing over your business?" I asked.

"Hmm. I'm afraid so. If so, I'm even more sorry for my uncle. Xu Xiaorou looked at me.

"No, it won't. They are all teachers and are highly qualified. They are very supportive of the help I have given you. You can rest assured. ”

"I'm not worried. I just don't want me to get you in trouble. ”

We were silent for a moment. Our silence immediately accentuates the tranquility of the neighborhood. I don't know whose TV is coming very clearly.

"Uncle, can you ask why you got divorced? I've heard that very good men get divorced. Xu Xiaorou broke the silence.

"How can there be such a thing? Do you think I'm very good? ”

"Aren't you good yet? In Yangjiang Hospital, your reputation is great. Many people can't find you when they want to see a doctor. ”

"There is no such thing." I say.

"Really." Xu Xiaorou said with certainty, "When I served my mother, I heard that many people praised you, as long as I heard that you operated on the patient, everyone would be very relieved." ”

"Isn't your mother unreassured?"

"My mother's surgery was done in the provincial capital." Xu Xiaorou was sad.

"So, I'm not that great. Every doctor has his limitations. The saddest thing for a doctor is to be helpless in the face of his illness. I said.

"It's a limitation of medicine, not a limitation of doctors." Xu Xiaorou said.

"The limitations of medicine determine the limitations of doctors." I say.

"We seem to be far away. Did you deliberately pull away? ”

"It's emotional." I come back to my topic of divorce.

"Don't you love your wife?" Xu Xiaorou asked.

"It's not about love or love. It's the words of the matchmaker. It was my parents who forcibly brokered it. They don't want me to find a partner in Yangjiang. ”

"Why?"

"They want me to move back to Huaan. They were afraid that once I found a partner in Yangjiang, I would never be able to return to Hua'an for the rest of my life. So they actively brokered for me, you know, they have always opposed me working in Yangjiang. I said, "You know what? When I graduated from medical school, my father had already done the preliminary work for my assignment, and they were ready to assign me directly to Hua'an District Hospital, but they never dreamed that I would apply directly to Yangjiang Hospital, so I almost broke off the father-son relationship with my father. ”

"Ahh Xu Xiaorou was shocked.

"My actions hurt my parents deeply."

"But why would you do that? Wouldn't working in Huaan be a better way to showcase your talents? Xu Xiaorou said.

"Because I'm from Yangjiang. I was born in the Luwan Village Committee of Tangwu Township. Do you know this place? ”

"I've heard of Tangwu Township, but I've never heard of this place."

"The main reason is that I don't want to be around them. I like to work with them. They didn't want me to come to Yangjiang, I wanted to come to Yangjiang. "That's all I can say.

In fact, the questions asked by Xu Xiaorou have been asked by colleagues in the hospital and I am familiar with, and I have prevaricated on the grounds that I am from Yangjiang.

"I can't see that my uncle is so rebellious. However, I believe there must be a reason for this. ”

"Do you mean my rebellion?" I asked.

"Yes."

"Of course there is a reason. Behind every rebellious child there is a reason for their parents. So, rebellion is not the child's fault. ”

"Can you tell Xiaorou what the reason is?"

"It's a long story," I leaned back in my chair, "and it's simply because they failed to keep my promise and made me lose my word." ”

"Will Uncle be obsessed with such a trivial matter for so long?" Xu Xiaorou was puzzled.

"No, Xiaorou, that's not a trivial matter, for me, that's the biggest thing in my life, and it has affected me for the rest of my life."

"Oh? What kind of promise will affect you for the rest of your life? Xu Xiaorou showed great interest.

"It's- too much to talk about today, let's talk about it later if we have the chance." I stood up and took the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen.

……

At this point in the story, I'm going to interlude a bit.

Readers, when you read this volume, you should have the feeling that the story does not follow the story of my graduation from college. Indeed, in terms of narrative, I jumped directly to five years after I came to work in Yangjiang.

The fundamental reason is that in the past five years, apart from my constant search for Hao Junqi, except that I have always been unable to find Hao Junqi, not much has happened. There is nothing very important to say.

Of course, there are still one or two important things in the past five years, such as how I got married.

I think that when reading some of the previous chapters, many people will not accept the idea that "I am married". You Zheng Qihang tried every means to go to Yangjiang to work, in order to find your childhood sweetheart Hao Junqi, in order to test whether the meat ring spirit is really maintaining the promise you made when you were thirteen years old, why did you suddenly marry a woman who is not named Hao Junqi?

That's exactly what I want to interject.

Let's talk about the "graduation distribution turmoil" in detail. This is also what I said in the last chapter of the previous volume.

My parents taught books all their lives, and the only thing they gained was gaining the respect of their students.

Especially my father, who was a very good high school physics teacher. Although he beat his students like me, his students were not as rebellious as me, but respected him more and more the more they beat him.

Father has a special charisma that allows his students to feel that Mr. Zheng genuinely cares about them after being beaten by him.

On the eve of my graduation from university, my father personally went to the office of the Hua'an Municipal Party Committee to find his students and asked him to assign me to the Hua'an District Hospital, and his students immediately agreed. The first is that Hua'an District Hospital is short of graduates like me, and the second is that my excellent grades have attracted the dean. Of course, the most important reason is that the director of the office of the municipal party committee came forward. As far as this relationship is concerned, whoever is the dean will give this face, even if there are no two reasons.

But my father never dreamed that I would get in the way. I went straight to the dean of the medical school where I had studied for nearly three years (Dean Ai) to explain the reason why I wanted to go to Yangjiang Hospital, but I didn't expect the dean to be moved by my statement, and he called the director of Yangjiang Hospital, and everything was done.

I still remember my father's thunderous appearance, he almost roared, like a trapped beast. I had to get slapped by him, even though I was a twenty-five-year-old adult. I remember it was raining heavily and thundering incessantly. But no amount of thunder could sound my father's roar.

"Why? Why? What the hell is it for?! "My father was so desperate that his face was distorted to a frightening degree.

My mother stood beside my father, and she was worried that he would fight me again.

"I have to go to Yangjiang." I say.

"You know what? How many people dream of entering Hua'an District Hospital, but you want to go to Yangjiang?! ”

I was silent. I can understand my father's feelings.

"Oh my God, how could I have a son like you? Were you born to be angry with me? At the beginning, you were not allowed to study medicine, but you preferred to study medicine. Now that you have completed your medical studies, I will try my best to let you go to the regional hospital, but you want to go to Yangjiang. Why do you always have to go against me? ”

"Isn't it the other way around that you're against me?" I say.

"You!" His father tried to reach out again, but his mother stopped him.

The mother said, "Don't fight anymore." Sailing is no longer a child. ”

"I'm going to kill this son." My father was trembling.

"That's what he likes. Does it work for you to kill him? The mother almost cried, "How did I meet you, father and son?" Can't you be more accommodating with each other? Why do you always have to sing the same drama like this? ”

Outside, there was constant rain and thunder.

"I just want to live my life on my own terms." I say.

"Your own will? Is your own will that important? The mother was also angry, "There is a big difference between working in Yangjiang Hospital and working in Hua'an District Hospital, why do you still want to go to Yangjiang?" Do you know how difficult it is for your father to help you with distribution? Can't you understand your father's heart at all? Hua'an area hospital is in good condition and high equipment, which is where you come in, and you will have great development. Plus, you can stay with us. You must know that we have only one son, you. ”

"I have to go to Yangjiang." I repeat the previous words mechanically.

"You have to go, do you think that you can't turn without Yangjiang Hospital?" Father is so easily excited.

"I think it's better to forget it, Lao Zheng, the registration card has been opened, so don't make any more noise." The mother sighed deeply, "Let's find a way to transfer it back later." ”

"I'll give you another call and see if I can change the appointment?" The father still did not give up.

"Please don't hit." I say.

"What do you mean?"

"Please respect my choice."

"What? What did you say? Father roared again.

"I'm not going to the district hospital." I'll take it word by word.

"Good, good, good." The father said three "good" words and sat down suddenly. He had his hand on his left chest, and his lips were purple.
