Chapter 38 If I Become His Wife



The drinking officially begins when we enter the house.

There was one table for adults and one table for children. Chen Xia finally invited Yu Deshui as well, as he was the main contributor to the purchase of the house.

Gu Wei sat there and said calmly, "Xiao Xia, there's fish and meat here, don't you think there's something missing?"

Chen Xia asked cautiously, "Are you short of peanuts?"

Gu Lin replied: "Are you short of a cucumber?"

Dean Gu said unhappily, "I'm still short of a hammer. Do you want me to give it to each of you?"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Yu Deshui, the old hand, reminded him, "Brother Chen, Dean Gu is asking for some good wine."

"Hey, if you want to drink, just say you want to drink. Why are you guessing riddles? You are such a bad old man."

Gu Lin was very dissatisfied with the dean's teasing and blurted out something, which scared Chen Xia so much that she quickly covered her mouth.

"Idiot, it's fine if you curse the dean behind his back, but how dare you curse him to his face? Do you want to quit your job?"

Unexpectedly, Dean Gu was not angry. Instead, he sighed and said:

"Did you see that? A little nurse doesn't even take the director seriously. I've failed as the director. No, next time I'm going to find fault with her and dock her salary. I'm definitely not going to let her have an easy time."

Everyone laughed strangely, not worrying about Gu Lin at all.

In order to protect Gu Lin from disaster, Chen Xia quickly went to get two bottles of Moutai liquor, and while pouring the wine, he flattered her:

"Master Dean, please be magnanimous and don't bother with a little brat like Gu Lin. Come on, fill it up."

Zhang Zhizhong wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, and said with a constipated look:

"Hey, you actually came to plead for Gu Lin. It seems that you two have a deep revolutionary friendship."

After saying that, he nudged Dean Gu with his elbow.

Dean Gu was embarrassed. "Eat your food, eat your food. What revolutionary friendship? You're still young. Chen Xia, you have to work hard and not be distracted."

Everyone at the table was laughing so hard that they almost couldn't breathe.

Today's dishes are very rich, including braised pork, boiled chicken, yellow croaker with scallion oil, steamed swimming crab, and Shaoxing three fresh seafood, 5 meat dishes, and all served in large bowls.

This is in line with Chen Xia's habit, and he won't tolerate any dish without meat.

Everyone's saliva is like a waterfall that can't be stopped.

How many times a month can we eat delicious braised pork at home? Those bright red crabs and yellow croakers bigger than the plates are nowhere to be seen. Everyone has only one thought: tonight I want to be the "eater".

The older ones drank Moutai, the younger ones drank beer, and the younger ones drank soda. Two tables of food were placed in the yard, and everyone ate happily.

Especially the table of little ones, they were almost fighting over the food, and Chen Xia had to give each of them a small piece of bread to calm the fight.

In the end, everyone had their mouths full and their stomachs bulging, and they all clamored to come and fight the rich man again next time. Among them, Gu Lin was the loudest, and she looked like she would not stop until she had eaten Chen Xia out of money.

Zhang Li nodded her head vigorously.

"You're so stupid! What everyone eats now will be yours in the future. Don't you feel bad?"

Gu Lin blinked her big eyes and tilted her head and asked, "Why should I feel bad? This isn't Chen Xia's stuff, it's not mine."

Head Nurse Ding said, "Everything in Chen Xia's family will be yours in the future, as long as you agree to marry him."

Everyone burst into laughter again.

Only Dean Gu was coughing so hard that it seemed like he was about to cough out his lungs.

Do you think Gu Lin would blush and run away embarrassedly?

No, if that were the case, she wouldn't be Miss Gu. She was really thinking seriously, muttering to herself:

"If I marry Chen Xia, will there be endless fruits and cakes? And delicious chocolate candies?"

After hearing what Gu Lin said, Dean Gu couldn't hold back any longer and said with a red face, "Let's go, let's go. You still want to stay overnight? Go home quickly."

After saying that, he glared at Gu Lin and Chen Xia in dissatisfaction, then walked away unhappily with his hands behind his back.

Chen Xialei was so tender inside and burnt outside that he thought to himself that this old man was eating and drinking, so how could he have offended him?

Only Head Nurse Ding and Ren Yuanfei walked up to Chen Xia and suddenly raised their fists before leaving.

"Come on, Chen Xia, we support you."

"What the hell are you supporting? Speak clearly."

Fortunately, this group of people had a conscience and cleaned up everything before leaving, otherwise Chen Xia would have been in tears.

That night, the farmer brother delivered the food as promised.

They brought a full 170 kilograms of rice, and after carrying it ashore from the river pier in the backyard, the two men completed the transaction quickly like spies, handing over the rice in one hand and the medicine in the other.

Chen Xia didn't let him lose money and cleared off all the decimals.

Looking at these two bags of rice, Chen Xia felt that he had found another good way to make money.

Just like that, three days passed, and all the patients who bought Chen Xia's "imported medicine" had their fevers reduced within three days. This miraculous effect spread throughout the small circle of the Fourth Hospital.

After the fever subsided, the patient's spirits recovered quickly, the lung infection gradually subsided, and all met the discharge criteria in less than 5 days.

After the first batch of patients were discharged from the hospital, they left behind a total of 12 banners, which made Mr. Ren and Head Nurse Ding very happy. This number of banners was more than the total number in previous years.

This battle made the infectious disease department famous.

Chen Xia felt quite embarrassed when receiving the banner. Although selling medicine helped patients, he also made real money.

The money earned from these 12 patients is more than a year's salary for an average worker.

It felt like Zhao Benshan tricked Fan Wei into becoming lame, but before Fan Wei left, he turned around and said, "Thank you!"

With the first batch of mice setting an example, the families of other hospitalized patients could not help but almost all of them paid for Tamiflu.

Even many influenza patients receiving outpatient treatment came to Chen Xia and asked to buy the special medicine.

If it can be bought so easily, isn't it too simple? Things that are too easy to get cannot be good things. So this time Chen Xia did not agree readily. Instead, he hesitated and said that he needed to go to the provincial capital to purchase goods, and he was not sure how much he could get.

Of course, Lao Ren waved his hand and said, "Go ahead. I'll give you three days off. Come back soon. The patients are waiting for you."

Only Gu Lin was quite unhappy when she saw Chen Xia asking for leave again.

She had a hunch that based on Chen Xia's conditions, he would definitely eat delicious food and drink delicious drinks when he went to the provincial capital, but all these delicacies had nothing to do with her, so she was not happy.

This unhappiness continued until Chen Xia was about to go to the train station. When another cream cake was placed in front of her, Gu Lin had only one response:

Who is Chen Xia? Who is Chen Xia?

What's more important than a butter cake?
