The atmosphere in front of the cashier counter was stagnant for a moment.
The girl numbly took the receipt handed over by the cashier at the front desk: a dish of mouth-watering chicken, a dish of stewed pork ribs with peppers, a serving of blueberry mashed potatoes, two bowls of rice, and a free pot of barley tea, totaling 76 yuan.
This meal is really not expensive. She usually spend more than this amount when she and her sisters watch movies and drink milk tea.
But the restaurant was not chosen by them, but was directly booked by the head nurse who introduced them. It is near the hospital and has a good reputation. Their department often has dinner here...
So, 76 is fine. The girl didn’t mind that she had to pay for it. She just couldn’t help thinking: Doctor Zhang is indeed very frugal.
The girl pulled the corner of her mouth and asked again: "What did you just say?"
However, Doctor Zhang regretted what he said and shook his head hurriedly: "No, no, I'll take you home."
He hurried out the door, but the girl had been holding back a lot of complaints about the blind date, so she impulsively followed him and asked, "Say it again."
Doctor Xiao Zhang instantly became timid.
"I, I, I... I said, why don't you take me home? I'll cook dumplings for—"
Halfway through his words, he realized that it was dangerous for a bachelor to invite a strange girl to his house, so he changed his words and said, "I'll pack the dumplings for you to eat."
Who wants to eat dumplings
That thing is hard to digest and makes you burp all day long. Girls don’t like it!
But now that things have come to this, she didn't know whether to be angry or laugh, so she just said without hesitation: "Okay, I remember Sister Zhao said your home is nearby, right?"
Sister Zhao is the head nurse.
Zhang Yuan's expression instantly turned into one of heartache, but the girl saw it and showed a hint of happiness.
His home was indeed not far away. He pointed across the street and said, "It's in that neighborhood."
The Millennium Garden opposite has been built for almost fifteen years, and Dr. Zhang's family put in all their efforts to buy it.
Today, he receives a meager salary and surgery bonus every month, and after paying off his mortgage, he is really short of money.
If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have to struggle with my conscience and feel pain every time I buy groceries.
He felt really sad when he thought about the dumplings being sent away. Even the girl's hair floating slightly in the sun with the sweet fruity shampoo smell could not attract him.
At this moment, his phone vibrated. He quickly opened it and saw the head nurse asking, "Doctor Zhang, how was the chat going?"
Doctor Xiao Zhang then realized: He is on a blind date!
You have to behave well on a blind date!
After thinking for a while, he gathered his spirits and continued, "You don't know, those dumplings are simply the most delicious thing in the world. I packed them for you. Don't throw them away. You must eat them!"
Then he asked again: "Do you really want to eat?"
What can the girl say
Even if she didn't really want to eat it, it would become a reality now.
Perhaps it was because Dr. Xiao Zhang's previous behavior was too outrageous, so that the things he said now were even more outrageous, which made the girl feel that this person was a little too silly and quite cute (gao xiao).
So she nodded sincerely: "Don't worry, I will definitely eat it. I will take a video for you to see while I eat it."
Zhang Yuan's expression opposite him became more and more painful: ... That's not necessary.
The girl couldn't bear to bully such an honest man, so she quickly changed the subject:
"Don't you have bamboo shoots? They're delicious too."
This way you won’t be reluctant to leave a box of dumplings.
She paid for our lunch today!
"I can't do it."
Doctor Xiao Zhang looked confused.
Not only does he not know how to do it, he also has very little time, and he usually has to work the night shift.
So he had brought the bamboo shoots back for a day. He was reluctant to send them to the canteen to ask the chef for help, but he didn't know how to cook them himself. He was so conflicted.
The girl said casually, "This is easy. You peel the bamboo shoots, cut them into dices, blanch them in water, and prepare some diced pork belly with fat and lean parts... Can you make dumplings? This is the most delicious filling for dumplings."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw that Zhang Yuan's eyes were looking at her with a slight admiration.
The girl paused and felt a little embarrassed.
Well... She only knew a few words from her mother's bag, and she actually had no practical experience. The other party was a doctor after all, and it was so difficult for medical students! Now he looked at her like this...
It’s a bit overwhelming!
Looking at it this way, even the sparse hair doesn't seem like such a big flaw.
No, there is still a little bit.
The girl turned her eyes away from his sparse hair and made up her mind:
"Next time you meet, give each other two wigs first."
If the other person is really as honest and foolish as he appears, he probably won't be angry...right
She clenched her fists nervously.
…
As they were talking, the two had already arrived at Zhang Yuan's house.
His house was on the first floor. The girl was waiting in the yard at the moment. Zhang Yuan went back to pack the dumplings in a compartment box, and was particularly reluctant to take them out.
And repeatedly reminded: "You, you must eat it."
It's hard to bear to say goodbye. It's not like parting with a blind date, but it's like parting with the one you love most.
The girl was soft-hearted and impulsively added, "Do you want your bamboo shoots? I'll take them back and make dumplings for you."
Doctor Zhang was cheered up!
He looked at the girl's slightly red cheeks and thought that she must really like me, this must be love at first sight!
Oh my God, there is actually a girl who cooks soup for me in this life!
He was so excited that he could hardly contain himself. He clenched his fists tightly and shouted loudly, "Okay!"
Then he rushed into the house, and before the girl could say anything about regretting, he came out with the bag of bamboo shoots:
"Where is your home? I'll take you back."
No no no no no!
!
The girl was already regretting it enough, but she didn't expect to reveal her home address right away. What if the silly doctor across the street came chasing her
She is thirty years old and still unmarried, and her mother at home is just waiting to see a man.
Well... It's not that she doesn't want to look for someone, but she just hasn't found the right one yet. She can't give the other person the wrong impression.
So Zhang Yuan stared at the girl's back as she drove away, and at this moment he was already looking forward to meeting her next time.
Look at the watch again. It's only one o'clock in the afternoon. Can I finish wrapping it before five o'clock
I don’t seem to have a steamer at home. Do I have to go to the supermarket to buy one
Doctor Zhang's imagination ran wild as he thought about the delicious bamboo shoot and diced pork buns he would have in the evening. Now bathed in the bright sunshine, he felt so excited and excited that even his mind was melting.
