After getting off work in the evening, Qin Zifu went to the cafeteria to get her meal.
"Is Dr. Qin eating here tonight too?"
The cafeteria lady remembered her; she must have been new, quite pretty, and had treated several people from her department to lunch together. But she didn't know much else about her.
"Auntie, I won't eat here, I'll buy some to take home."
"What would you like? Auntie will serve you."
"I'd like a serving of stir-fried potatoes, eggplant, and green peppers; a serving of Kung Pao shrimp; shredded pork with garlic sauce; and a dish of cabbage and tofu. Please put them in whole portions for me."
"You want the whole portion? Is this a meal for two? Is the young lady getting married?"
"Yes, they just got married."
Qin Zifu patiently answered the cafeteria lady's questions.
"You're married now, but you look like a little kid. What would you like for your main course?"
"One steamed bun and one twisted roll"
"The soup is free; you can go and get some."
"good"
Qin Zifu served two bowls of seaweed and egg drop soup.
After swiping his meal card, he carried four dishes and a soup and followed Qin Qingwan home.
"You wouldn't come to our house to eat, you insisted on buying food from the cafeteria."
"Let Jingchen try it, let him experience the delicious food in our cafeteria."
"Pshaw, what delicacies hasn't he eaten? Delicious, indeed!"
"That's different, I think he likes to eat it."
"Oh, okay, okay, if you think he likes to eat it, then he likes to eat it. Just eat less meat and oily food, it's too late for your digestive system to work hard to digest it."
"..."
"You need to maintain good eating habits, otherwise you won't be able to handle it."
"Okay, Director Qin, if you're healthy, you can eat a little."
"Gone"
Qin Qingwan got off the elevator without the slightest hesitation.
Qin Zifu pressed her fingerprint and pushed open the door to her home.
She and Qi Jingchen get off work at the same time, but Qin Zifu lives closer and walks to and from get off work, while Qi Jingchen lives further away and it's rush hour, so normally she gets home first.
After all, she no longer needs to work overtime with Qin Jing to see patients.
She also selected a long-term flower delivery package on the app that Su Nuo frequently uses to order flowers yesterday, and it arrived today.
There aren't many flowers available in November; today we received some freesias, poppies, and tulips.
Qin Zifu took out the few vases she had at home, and following the care instructions, she cut the roots, soaked them in water, and followed along as she watched, learning how to scald the roots of the poppy.
Is it scientifically sound to scald the roots of perfectly good flowers?
She had just put all the flowers into the vase when Qi Jingchen came in.
"Baby"
"You're back! I'm arranging flowers, and the food is on the table."
What kind of flower is this?
Qi Jingchen pointed to a bottle in front of him.
"Freesia, smell it."
Qin Zifu picked up a flower and brought it to his nose, and Qi Jingchen smelled it.
"Mmm, smells good. Baby really likes flowers lately."
I bought a bouquet yesterday, and ordered more flowers today.
"Yes, it looks great!"
Qin Zifu continued to tend to the bouquets of flowers, while Qi Jingchen heated up the food in the microwave. The two chatted about what had happened that day while doing their work.
How was the first day when you were transferred to the obstetrics ward?
"It's great! The maternity ward looks so warm and welcoming, and new babies are born every day."
Are you tired?
"It's a bit more tiring than gynecology, since it's a full-day job, and surprisingly, there's a male doctor in obstetrics, a senior colleague who's two years ahead of me."
"Hmm? Male doctor, senior brother?"
I've only been there a day and I already have senior students?
"Yes, male obstetricians are relatively rare."
That's normal.
"Would you mind if a male doctor were present when I give birth?"
"Your mother should have helped you when you gave birth."
I mean, hypothetically.
"It doesn't matter if he's the most experienced and can help you have a smooth delivery; it's fine even if he's a man."
"That's true, many good obstetricians are men."
Qin Zifu follows a male obstetrician on Douyin. He is very experienced and is the top obstetrician at a top-tier hospital.
Moreover, male doctors do have better physical strength during surgery.
"This food looks really good."
"Let's eat!"
Qin Zifu picked up the seaweed and egg drop soup and drank it spoonful by spoonful. She always ate with chopsticks in her right hand and a spoon in her left, so that drinking soup did not interfere with eating vegetables.
"It's actually pretty good."
"There weren't many dishes available for dinner, but the meatballs at lunch were delicious."
"Whenever you have meatballs, I'll come over to have lunch with you."
"I don't know, I'll check tomorrow and tell you."
"Will you come to the company with me on Friday?"
"Okay, I'll come to the company to keep you company."
The two of them started thinking about Friday as early as Monday.
After a few days in the obstetrics department, Qin Zifu became quite familiar with the procedures and was getting more and more proficient.
But I was probably too tired, so I slept very well, falling asleep by 10 pm every day. Eight hours of sleep was not enough.
On Friday morning, Qin Zifu accompanied Qi Jingchen to the company.
You should have been allowed to sleep longer.
"It's okay, I can sleep when I get to the office."
"I'll buy you some breakfast later, then you can take a nap in the lounge."
She barely ate breakfast today, and hasn't felt hungry at all. She hasn't wanted to eat for two days in a row; she just wants to sleep.
"Hmm, I've been so sleepy these past few days."
Qin Zifu lay lazily in the passenger seat with her eyes closed.
"Maybe they're not used to getting up early to go to work every day yet."
Qi Jingchen took advantage of the red light to pat her head. They hadn't done much these past few days, so why did she always look so tired?
Qin Zifu felt his hand coming over, but she didn't open her eyes and rested quietly.
"Baby, we're here."
"oh"
Qin Zifu slowly opened her eyes. She had just had a dream, and the dream involved two small snakes.
Let's go.
Qi Jingchen took her hand and led her into the private elevator.
"Mr. Qi, Madam..."
Good morning, Li Wen.
Good morning, madam.
"Li Wen, prepare breakfast."
"Okay, you and your wife haven't had breakfast yet? What would you like to eat? I'll order it."
Doesn't President Qi usually have breakfast at home before coming over every day? Could it be that he went to bed too late last night and didn't get up today?
"I ate, but my wife didn't."
"No, thank you. I don't want to eat. Let's have lunch together."
Qin Zifu thought for a moment about what she wanted to eat, but nothing came to mind.
Li Wen looked at the two of them, wondering whether they should make a reservation or not.
"Then I'll have a glass of milk."
"Yes, Mr. Qi."
Qin Zifu thought about it again and decided she didn't want to drink the milk either, but Li Wen had already gone to get it.
A few days ago I could eat and drink normally, but these past two days I haven't wanted to eat anything at all, just like I have anorexia.
For two days, the two wore matching coats they had recently bought. After taking them off, Qi Jingchen hung them up, while Qin Zifu sat on a massage chair.
Should I open it?
"No need, I'll just sit for a while, this is more comfortable."
Knock knock
"Enter"
When Li Wen came in, Qin Zifu was sitting in a massage chair, and Qi Jingchen was about to get up, his hands supporting him on the back of the massage chair. He wondered if he was disturbing President Qi and his wife.
"Madam, the milk is here, it's warm."
"Thanks"
"I'll head out now."
Li Wen wanted to get out of there as soon as possible; he didn't want to be the center of attention here, he was already very busy.
"Wait a moment, I'll sign these and then you can take them out."
"yes"
Li Wen stood aside and waited.
