"I'm exhausted, and I'll eat with you," Tao Xiaodong told Xia Yuan on the phone, "eat yourself."
"Don't you think I miss you?" Xia Yuan laughed twice, "Have you come back?"
"Come back, let's talk about it another day." Tao Xiaodong's younger brother is the first thing he thinks about every time he goes out and comes back. Usually, he just goes home the day he comes back.
Xia Yuan said yes, and went out for a drink another day.
Da Huang was going to take Tao Xiaodong and pick up the two children to their house, but Tao Huainan said that the meal was finished, and Tao Xiaodong went back directly.
When he went back and opened the door, Tao Huainan was already sitting on the small bench at the door waiting, with headphones in his ears.
As soon as Tao Xiaodong opened the door and came in, he immediately took off his earphones and called out "brother".
"What are you doing sitting here?" Tao Xiaodong pressed on his head.
"Wait for you." Tao Huainan smiled at him, stood up and said, "Brother Ku ignores me."
"What's wrong with you," Tao Xiaodong came in after changing his shoes, "are you angry again?"
Tao Huainan said later, "I don't have one."
The whole house was full of fragrant vegetables. Chi Cheng was stewing soup in the kitchen. When he saw Tao Xiaodong coming back, he turned around and called out "Brother".
Tao Xiaodong responded and went to his room to take a shower and change his clothes. Tao Huainan followed him, sitting on his bed and waiting.
Tao Xiaodong looked at him twice, without asking any further questions, he took off his clothes and went to take a shower.
Tao Huainan lay down on his brother's bed, quietly.
When it was time for the child to have something on his mind, Tao Xiaodong didn't want to ask any more questions.
But it took a long time for these two children to be awkward this time. Tao Xiaodong saw that they were still awkward after coming back three days.
The two asked and both said nothing.
Tao Xiaodong asked Huan Ge in the store, "What do you think about every day when you are so big?"
Huan Ge made him stunned for a moment, and replied stunnedly, "How big are we?"
A tattoo artist next to him smiled and said, "Is it a big one? Last time I went to sweat it together, I accidentally saw it, and I didn't see how big it was."
Huan Ge saw it, his face flushed red, and he shouted in anger and embarrassment: "Ah!"
Tao Xiaodong laughed twice, and several people around also chuckled in a low voice.
"What's annoying?" Huan Ge stood up to leave, thin-skinned, and said to the tattoo artist just now, "I'm not serious."
Tao Xiaodong gave him a look and asked him to sit back, and then said, "I mean, you have nothing to worry about at your age."
"I have nothing to worry about," he said with a smile. "I used to worry about what to do in the future, and I felt a little inferior. But now I am happy every day."
Huan Ge is a good boy. He is indeed cheerful, motivated and sensible every day. Tao Xiaodong smiled and nodded: "Okay, it's good to be happy."
Tang Suoyan has been out for so many days, and he has saved a lot for surgery. After many days of surgery and outpatient services, plus the things in the hospital, I was really busy for a long time.
In the days when he was away, there was another accident in Corey. The intern was too nervous to go to the operating table for the first time, and the operation failed due to trembling hands. The attending doctor was on the emergency rescue field, but the prognosis was extremely poor. The family members have been making trouble in the hospital these days, asking the hospital to give an explanation.
Corey's atmosphere has been a little depressed these days. Young doctors are afraid of Tang Suoyan. He is sometimes too strict. This kind of accident is not allowed in Tang Suoyan's office. This intern is not allowed to stay in their department, and the attending doctor is also responsible. Surgery may fail, that's for sure, but low-level mistakes cannot be tolerated in the ophthalmology department of the Third Hospital.
Tang Suoyan is actually gentle and not so severe most of the time, but when it comes to such times, the doctors in Keli are more afraid of him than the director, Professor Xu Shi.
When Tian Yi came over, Tang Suoyan had just returned from the outpatient building, and took a box lunch on the way.
Tian Yi knocked on the door, heard someone let in, opened the door and probed in.
Tang Suoyan was a little surprised when he saw it was him.
"Yo, just eat, brother?" Tian Yi pushed open the door and walked in.
Tang Suoyan asked him to sit, and Tian Yi quickly said, "If you eat your food, I'll come over and deliver something."
He pushed the paper pocket he brought over, smiled and said, "Xiaodong asked me to give it to you. It took me two days before I caught your shadow."
Tang Suoyan smelled the smell of Chinese medicine without opening it and said with a smile, "Thanks, it's hard for Xiaodong to remember it casually."
"There's nothing casual about him," Tian Yi said. "He's very sincere."
"Xiaodong people are very good." Tang Suoyan recalled the days when the two of them were in Tibet together, and they chatted on the plane, "The speech is too funny."
"I'm trying to tease you," Tian Yi sneered, "he doesn't talk much when he's with us, he's a little introverted sometimes."
"Introverted?" This is a bit deviating from Tang Suoyan's cognition.
"Could it be that you still think he is cheerful?" Tian Yi shook his head and said, "He is the least talkative among us."
Tian Yi just came to deliver things, Tang Suoyan didn't finish his meal, Tian Yi didn't delay much, just said a few words and left.
Tang Suoyan had a lot of things to do after dinner, and it was already dark when it was time to get off work.
Before leaving get off work, he changed his clothes and carried the paper bag containing the medicine, and sent a message to Tao Xiaodong: "Xiaodong, I got the medicine, thank you."
Tao Xiaodong didn't reply immediately, Tang Suoyan got in the car before he received his message: "I just saw it, I didn't take the phone. You're welcome, Dr. Tang, remember to use it when your hand hurts, I use it very well, you can try it. try. "
Tang Suoyan said, "Okay, then you are busy."
Tao Xiaodong came back faster this time: "I'm not busy, I'm fine. If it works for you, tell me, and I'll let Tian Yi deliver it to you."
Tang Suoyan smiled back to him: "Okay. I said before that I haven't had time for a meal. I've been too busy since I came back. Are you free recently? Ask your junior brother?"
Tao Xiaodong said: "I'm not here, I'm going out. You're busy with nothing. Let's find time when you're not busy."
Tang Suoyan said "um": "That's ok, will you contact me when you come back?"
Tao Xiaodong: "Okay, you are busy with Dr. Tang."
There was a bit of traffic jam on the road, and it was almost eight o'clock when Tang Suoyan got home.
As soon as the door opened, the light in the hallway turned on. Tang Suoyan paused, pushed open the door and walked in.
"Come back?" Professor Bai's voice came over, Tang Suoyan looked over, and was surprised when he saw his parents.
When he saw the lights on at first glance, he didn't expect it to be his parents.
Tang Suoyan changed his shoes and walked in, and said to them, "Dad, Mom, why are you here?"
"I went to your aunt's place today, and I'll come up and pack up for you on the way." Professor Bai came over to pick up his coat, "I've prepared the meal for you, and I'll warm it up for you. It's so late to get off work?"
"busy today."
At the same time, Professor Bai took the paper bag in Tang Suoyan's hand. The Chinese medicine professor was naturally sensitive to the taste of Chinese medicine: "What?"
Tang Suoyan said, "The medicine was given by a friend."
She opened her eyes and said, "Have you used everything I gave you before?"
"It's used." Tang Suoyan went in to change clothes, and sighed silently while closing the door.
The house where one person lived was different from the one where the two lived. He had already packed most of Tangning's things, and there was only one person's toiletries in the bathroom, so he couldn't hide some things.
No one mentioned this during the meal. My parents had a tacit understanding not to mention Tangning, and they were a little cautious when they spoke.
After dinner, when Tang Suoyan was washing the dishes, his father couldn't sit still, and was sent by his mother to ask in a low voice, "Where's Xiao Tang?"
Tang Suoyan said calmly, "Moved away."
"Why did you move away?" The old man looked back at the living room and asked in a low voice, "Is there trouble?"
Tang Suoyan said "um": "There is a problem, let's calm down for a while."
"What are you asking..." Outside Professor Bai suddenly cleared his throat, and Dad Tang said after getting stuck for a while, "I won't ask any questions. Don't ask about your young people's affairs."
Tang Suoyan was amused by the two of them. After washing and drying the bowls, he wiped his hands. He took it out on his dad's shoulder, let him sit on the sofa, and sat down himself.
"Talk to you, I won't hide it from you, and you don't have to think about me." Tang Suoyan poured tea for them. At night, the tea for them was very light, and the faint aroma of the tea came out. penetrating taste.
"Tangning and I have been on and off for the past few years, as you all know. He felt tired of being with me, so I wouldn't want to stay any longer. After talking about it, I felt that it would be better for each other to be separated, so we respected each other. No one is right or wrong. I have been with Tangning for so many years. Although he doesn't have much contact with you, you may not know him well, but he is not a bad person. There is also a reason for me to have less contact. I am too busy to do so. Take him home. Now he's gone and you've all seen it."
It was rare for Tang Suoyan to be so candid. In the past, he didn't say much when he got into trouble with Tangning. Whenever he was asked, he would always say that there was no conflict. Tang Suoyan didn't hide it this time, and he couldn't hide it anyway.
"It's true that I'm alone now, but don't worry about me. I'm in my thirties and can take care of myself. I know you've been worried because I can't get married normally. It's my fault."
"What are you talking about?" Professor Bai frowned, "I don't blame you."
Tang Suoyan smiled: "I know, I'm very lucky."
Once we talk so openly and honestly, parents don't know what to say. Tangning and the others didn't like it much, but it was better to have such a person than to let Tang Suoyan live on his own. But now that this is the case, his own son understands that he is not someone who makes decisions impulsive, so there is no reason to continue to persuade him.
Dad Tang scratched his head and coughed again: "Anyway, you can think about it."
"Well," Tang Suoyan took a sip of tea, "Let's go with the flow."
"Otherwise, you can go home and live, anyway, you are the same wherever you are alone." Professor Bai said, "Just go to work and stay away."
Tang Suoyan smiled and shook his head: "It's too far, Mom, toss."
After his parents left, Tang Suoyan continued to sit on the sofa, the room was dead silent.
It was an accident that his parents came here today, otherwise Tang Suoyan didn't plan to tell his mother about it now. He and Tangning had not spoken to each other since that night, and it had been a long time since then.
But they didn't finish that night after all, and the two of them can't tell what the situation is now.
This was a small trick that Tangning was used to. She didn't tell the truth and left her a way out. Tang Suoyan had been trapped by him for so many years, and he didn't know what to do in his heart. He just tolerated his temper, didn't take it seriously, and let him go.
But this time is really different, what Tang Suoyan said that night was also true.
No matter how deep the relationship was, Tangning couldn't stand the toss. Tangning had broken Tang Suoyan's heart over the past few years.
