"Xiao Fei, brother is back. Do you miss him?"
Nie Cai smiled and knelt down, gently pinched Nie Fei's face, and said distressedly.
After not seeing each other for a few months, Nie Fei's body seemed to have lost weight again. There was not much flesh on her face, and small red pimples appeared on her face.
They are nodules that grow in the body. As the disease progresses, they will become more and more serious until they are disfigured.
"Brother, I'm old now, don't pinch my cheek anymore!"
Nie Fei pouted her mouth and said angrily.
"Okay, don't pinch. What do you think this is?"
Nie Cai looked at her with a smile, took out a few packages of S County's specialty beef jerky and other snacks from his bag, and handed them to Nie Fei.
"Brother is the best!"
Nie Fei cheered and took the snacks, with a happy look on her face.
After my sister became ill, her personality became more and more autistic and she stopped playing with her peers. Only delicious food could make her temporarily happy.
When she is not sick, she is no different from an ordinary little girl. However, when the condition is severe, she will have epileptic seizures forty or fifty times a day, which is so painful that it makes people feel sad to see her.
"Mom, what else are you cooking? Let's go out to eat. I finally got home, so I will definitely take Xiaofei to eat something delicious."
Nie Cai chuckled, stood up and said, which immediately made Nie Fei cheer.
This little greedy cat didn't care about anything else and just ate it. His eyes lit up when he heard that he could go out to eat.
"Forget it, I'd better do it myself to save some money..."
Nie's mother didn't want to go out at first, but Nie Cai kept persuading him, and Nie's father also said that Nie Cai had earned more than 200,000 yuan, so she finally agreed.
However, when she was going back to her room to change clothes and prepare to go out, she kept saying: "By the way, I have arranged for you to meet a girl when you come back this time. She is the daughter of one of your father's old comrades. Anyway, It's all about eating, I called them..."
When Nie Cai heard that his mother had randomly arranged a blind date for him, Nie Cai's head suddenly got bigger.
Nie's mother didn't know where she heard it, saying that the later you get married and have children, the greater the chance of children with tuberous sclerosis. Although Nie Cai repeatedly refuted that Nie Fei was just a sudden case, and there was no risk of him developing the disease without a family history. Almost not, but Mother Nie wouldn’t listen and kept talking about it.
Since graduating from college, Nie Cai has been constantly being arranged for blind dates. If Nie Cai hadn't gone into hiding in S County to work as a reporter, Nie Cai's mother would still be arranging blind dates for him.
"Stop talking nonsense, borrow Uncle Xu's son's Volkswagen Magotan downstairs to pick up the girl. I'll give her a call..."
Nie's mother threw a piece of paper with her name and phone number indiscriminately, not giving Nie Cai a chance to refuse.
Nie Cai had no choice but to pick up the phone and walk to the balcony, then dialed.
"Hey, hello, is this Xiao Mo..."
The name written on the note is Mo Yanran, which is a pretty name.
Most of Nie Cai's father's old comrades were engineers in the railway corps, genuine college students. In the 1980s, college students were not everywhere like today, and their names were somewhat literate.
"Yes, are you?"
On the other end of the phone, a soft and waxy voice came, which sounded very nice.
"Oh, my surname is Nie, and my father is your comrade-in-arms."
Before Nie Cai finished speaking, Mo Yanran immediately exclaimed: "So you are the blind date arranged by my family... My father always whispers in my ears that my old comrade has many, many wonderful children, but you It’s so insincere, I waited for you for two or three months before coming back!”
Two or three months
Nie Cai couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. His mother was really serious. Not only had she made an appointment for two or three months, but she invited someone to dinner so suddenly. This was so insincere!
Inviting someone to dinner has to be done two or three days in advance. Now is the best time to invite someone directly. It’s amazing how successful a blind date can be.
"It's okay. I understand you. Your reporter's work is similar to our hospital work. You are always busy when you are busy. It is normal to have no time."
The girl opposite was quite considerate and took the initiative to come to Nie Cai's rescue.
Nie Cai said shamelessly, being a reporter is the best way to practice your thick skin: "You work in a hospital, the first hospital or the second hospital. Are you free to go to XX Hotel for a meal tonight? How about I pick you up?"
There were only two large hospitals in S city, so Nie Cai asked directly without much thought.
"No, xx Military Region Hospital, I'm almost off work now, it's just the right time for you to come over."
Military hospital? Nie Cai's heart moved. The most famous hospital in S city is probably the military hospital, but it is not open to the public and ordinary people cannot go there.
Nie's mother had long wanted to find someone to send Nie Fei to this hospital through connections. After all, it was the best hospital in the city, and daily treatment and care were guaranteed. Unfortunately, there was no way to get in.
"Okay, shall I pick you up now?"
Anyway, Nie Cai was going to deal with the tasks at home. He could just meet this Mo Yanran and deal with it casually, but Nie Cai couldn't be bothered with the others.
On the other end of the phone, Mo Yanran paused, and then said after a moment: "Okay, give me a call when you get there. What kind of car do you drive?"
"I drive a yellow electric car. I'll call you when I get to the hospital..."
Emerging brands like Tesla are still not well-known among the public, Nie Cai thought for a while and said.
"It's too cold outside at night. I have some things to do. I'll contact you after get off work!"
Nie Cai quickly explained: "My electric car has air conditioning..."
Unfortunately, Nie Cai's explanation was a step late, and there was a beeping hang-up sound on the phone.
"Damn! What's wrong with electric cars? Why can't electric cars worth more than one million be as good as Mercedes-Benz and BMW!"
Nie Cai put down the phone depressedly and returned to the house.
Girls nowadays are too realistic. They probably hung up the phone when they heard about electric cars - how can you go on a blind date without a car or a house these days
"They said they have to wait until get off work, so I don't know if they can come. It just so happens that our family just needs to eat. Let's go there first."
Ignoring the girl, Nie Cai tidied up his appearance a little under the pressure of his mother, then took his family downstairs, opened the car door and let his little girl sit in the front row.
"Son, is this car yours? It doesn't look cheap."
Father Nie walked around the car, but did not get in. Instead, he frowned.
He was an engineer in the railway corps. Although he didn't know the make of the vehicle, he still had a basic understanding of the vehicle.
"How can I afford a car? A rich colleague lent it to me. Anyway, she has many cars, so this one is not enough."
Nie Cai said with a smile that Zhang Xinyu had previously said he would lend him the car, but now there is no news. Nie Cai has no place to return the car even if he wants to.
Nie Cai didn't dare to leave S County alone with a million-dollar car, so he might as well drive it home and look at it to feel more at ease.
Without giving his family a chance to talk, Nie Cai pushed his parents into the car without hesitation and drove straight to the XX Hotel in the city center.
This hotel is a long-established hotel in Z City. It has a good decoration level and a very prosperous business. It also has all kinds of delicacies and fresh seafood.
Nie's mother originally wanted to persuade Nie Cai not to go to such a high-end place, but Nie Cai waved his hand and advised: "It's a rare occasion for your son to come back. Order some good soup for my little sister to drink, it will replenish the body!"
City Z is located in the south, where the concept of drinking delicious soup to maintain health is prevalent. Nie Cai's words won the heart of Nie Cai's mother.
After entering the restaurant, a family of four asked for a small private room. The waiter greeted them politely and asked, "Hello, what do you guys want to eat?"
"What kind of delicious soup do you have here?"
Nie Cai asked directly without looking at the menu.
"Yes, do you want seafood or delicacies?"
"Are there any turtles? They are sweating all over and soaking wet. Turtles and bastards are the most useful for nourishing the body, strengthening the body and exorcising evil spirits."
Just now, Nie Cai saw several turtles in the fountain at the entrance of the hotel. He didn't know whether they were ornamental turtles or meat turtles.
Ever since my little sister got sick and tried western medicine to no avail, Nie's mother had been reciting various formulas from traditional Chinese medicine, and Nie Cai spoke them out smoothly.
No matter whether it can cure the disease or not, turtle tonic is always good, and it can replenish my little sister's body to some extent.
"Yes, you are really discerning. How about a stone gold turtle? The cultured one costs 268 yuan per catty, and the wild one costs 388 per catty. If four or five people can eat it, it will weigh about two or three catties." .”
The waiter spoke skillfully with a professional smile. Mother Nie's face changed obviously after hearing this. She was reluctant to order such an expensive dish.
"That's it. Let's stew it first, ask for it to be wild... and then add a few special dishes. We can order the rest when others arrive."
But just as Nie's mother was about to speak, Nie Cai waved his hand: "Mom, since you arranged for me to go on a blind date today, you have to listen to me."
If it weren't for the blind date, and Nie's mother's frugal character, she might not have been willing to go out for a good meal. Nie Cai knew them too well.
Since acquiring the Super News System, Nie Cai's knowledge is no longer as short-sighted as before. Money is for spending. If you don't have money, just make money. As long as you live happily.
"Then you have to save some money. How many eggs can you buy?"
Mother Nie felt sorry for the money and waited until the waiter left before complaining.
Nie's father's pension is not low, and his family was originally a well-off family. However, since Nie Fei became ill, the family has become frugal, which has also made Nie's mother become frugal.
"My son is promising, let him go! How about it, is the girl ready to arrive?"
Father Nie changed into a more energetic outfit today and said with a smile.
"No, she said she had to wait until get off work. Her tone sounded like she didn't want to go. Anyway, I have no idea of going on a blind date. It's just right for our family to eat by ourselves!"
Nie Cai waved his hand and said.
He had no intention of going on a blind date today. To be honest, since Nie Cai has been through a lot of things recently, his eyes for women have skyrocketed.
According to his imagination, even if he cannot reach the level of Zhang Xinyu who can bring disaster to the country and the people, he must at least be like Li Wei, who is a beauty who can bring disaster.
I don't know what Mo Yanran looks like, but province X doesn't produce beauties. If you go to Nie Cai according to this standard, you will probably have to be a bachelor for a long time.
"What are you talking about? Lao Mo is my comrade-in-arms for many years, a life-long friendship... He saved me when there was a water leakage accident in the tunnel, otherwise there would be no little brat like you!"
Father Nie had a hot temper and said angrily.
"Everyone was involved in the leak. Survival depends not on others but on luck. Besides, if it hadn't been for that dud, how would your legs have turned out like this?"
Nie Cai retorted unceremoniously and said.
Nie Cai has heard his father say this many times. There is no way to avoid water leakage accidents, but there are completely ways to avoid Squibs. Based on this alone, Nie Cai has long hated Uncle Mo. Well, I don’t even like that Mo Yanran.
"Then he doesn't mind our family's situation, and he introduces his daughter to you with good intentions. All he needs to do is marry her. You can't reject him thousands of miles away. That would be so hurtful!"
Without allowing Nie Cai to refute, Father Nie immediately made his decision.
