Chapter 345 Returning Home, Looking at the Educated Youth and His Hot Water Bottle
It is particularly cold today. Most of the patients who come to see the doctor are children with colds. After a noisy afternoon, Mingdai still feels her head buzzing when she is free now.
After seeing off the last patient, everyone started to finish up and prepare to go home.
Mingdai packed some medicinal tea to prevent colds and gave it to Pan Xiaosi and Huang Dalian, asking them to take it home and boil it to drink to prevent colds.
Huang Dalian pinched the medicine bag in her hand and pouted: "When I think about seeing Zhou Pansui's bitter face when I go back, I don't want to go back!"
Ming Dai smiled and advised her: "Why don't you just ignore her? She doesn't dare to provoke you anyway."
Huang Dalian sat on the chair and sighed: "The toad doesn't bite, but she is annoying. If it weren't for Lao Er's sake, I could really beat her to death today!"
Ming Dai thought for a moment and said, "If you are willing to leave the child, then go to my house and sleep. I am the only one at home anyway. You can come back whenever you are no longer angry."
Mrs. Huang's eyes lit up, and just as she was about to agree, she heard the clattering footsteps of a child at the door.
Goudan opened the door curtain and said excitedly: "Mom! Come home quickly! Dad is back!!"
Huang Dalian looked at his son's sweaty forehead and was afraid that he might catch a cold. He was about to scold him, but when he heard his son's words, his eyes widened instantly: "What?! Your dad is back? Why didn't I hear the sound of the truck?!"
Goudan gestured excitedly: "They came back in Third Master's carriage!
Mom, Dad asked me to call you home. He bought you a new headscarf with flowers on it. It looks so pretty!!”
Aunt Huang was immediately delighted. She was about to follow her son, but then she remembered that she was still at work, and she looked at Mingdai eagerly.
She looked so eager to go home, as if she was not the one who was angry and didn't want to go home just now.
Ming Dai smiled and nodded: "Sister-in-law, please go home quickly and bring your headscarf tomorrow. Let us see what a headscarf with flowers looks like!"
Huang Dalian felt embarrassed instantly, chuckled twice, then ran away with his son.
Even Goudan, who was running fast, couldn't keep up and kept shouting at his mother to slow down.
Pan Xiaosi looked at the medicine bag on the table and hurriedly chased after him. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared.
She stared at it in amazement: "What a beautiful headscarf this is! My sister-in-law ran so fast!"
Ming Dai: . . . . .
"You don't think she was really in a hurry to go home because she wanted to see the headscarf, do you?"
Pan Xiaosi came back with the medicine bag and looked at her blankly: "What else?"
Mingdai sighed, feeling a little sorry for her silly apprentice's future partner. How much effort would it take to pry Pan Xiaosi out of his trance?
Just as I was thinking about it, the curtain was opened again.
Mingdai looked at Liu Laifa, whose cheeks were red from the cold, and wondered if this counted as speaking of the devil. Had the devil appeared?
"Laifa, why are you here?"
Liu Lai smiled and said, "Little Fourth Sister, it gets dark early in winter and it might snow soon. My mother is worried that it's not safe on the road, so she asked me to take you home."
Pan Xiaosi had a puzzled look on his face: "Unsafe? But I walk the night road between the two villages every day, I'm used to it, right?"
Liu Laifa was also stunned: "Yes!"
Ming Dai: . . . . .
Come on, this is also a mystery!
Ming Dai distributed the medicine packets on the table to the two of them: "Okay, take one each.
Since Auntie Huang has said so, come on, Brother Fa, send Xiao Si back.
I was negligent. It is not safe for a girl like you to walk at night. So, it is so cold, go back early."
Pan Xiaosi looked at the smile on Mingdai's face and always felt something was strange, but he nodded obediently, holding the medicine bag and followed Liu Laifa away.
After seeing off one couple after another, Mingdai didn't want to stay any longer in the empty infirmary. She packed up, got up, locked the door, and prepared to go home.
As soon as I put my hand on the door lock, I heard hurried footsteps behind me.
Who is it again? !
Just when Mingdai was sighing at how lively the infirmary was tonight, a voice rang out.
"Ming Dai!"
She turned around suddenly and fell directly into a hot chest.
Gu Sinian, breathing heavily, hugged the girl he had been thinking about day and night tightly in his arms, and the hug was so tight that it seemed as if he wanted to embed her into his body.
Mingdai stared blankly at the rapidly rising and falling chest in front of her, and her ears were filled with the sound of her heart beating violently.
"Ming Dai! I'm back!"
Mingdai didn't react until Gu Sinian's voice sounded again.
Gu Sinian is back!
Suddenly, an inexplicable feeling of grievance surged into her heart. She looked up with red eyes and met Gu Sinian's burning gaze.
"Gu Sinian, why are you taking so long to come back?"
Looking at the grievance and fear in her eyes, Gu Sinian felt his heart break.
"I'm sorry, Mingdai, I'm late."
Mingdai looked at his tired eyes, touched his stubbled chin, and shook her head gently, knowing that he must not have been delayed and ran back as soon as he finished his mission.
"Did the mission go smoothly? Are you injured?"
Gu Sinian avoided his stubble and rubbed her hand with the side of his face: "It went smoothly. I only got a minor injury. It won't have a big impact. You don't have to worry."
Ming Dai was a little anxious: "Where are you injured? Let me see!"
After saying that, he went up to take off his clothes.
Gu Sinian took a deep breath and gently grabbed Mingdai's little hand that was messing around.
"Don't be nervous, it's really a minor injury. Let's go home and take care of it, okay?"
Mingdai also realized that this was the door of the infirmary. Her face turned red and she wanted to pull her hand back.
Gu Sinian smiled, held it tightly, and coughed softly: "Mingdai, let's go home."
Mingdai nodded slightly.
Gu Sinian squeezed the soft little hand in his palm reluctantly, and waited until Mingdai glared at him, then he smiled and let go.
He walked up and locked the door of the infirmary, then opened the luggage bag at Mingdai's feet and took something out.
Mingdai looked at it curiously and found it was a red woolen hat.
Gu Sinian smiled and put the hat on her head. He took a look and nodded with satisfaction. The size was a perfect fit.
Ming Dai touched the familiar heart-shaped jacquard stitch on it and looked up at him: "You still have time to knit a hat when you are on a mission?"
Gu Sinian chuckled and said nothing. He carried the luggage in one hand and held Mingdai in the other, and walked towards home.
Mingdai touched the soft woolen hat on her head and slowly released the hand that was being held.
Gu Sinian felt the changes in his palm, and the corners of his mouth curled up in pride.
As the two of them were walking home hand in hand happily, Liu Laifa, who had just sent someone home, saw them in the act.
It was already dark by then, and Liu Laifa couldn't see clearly. He just looked at the tall figure and thought it should be Gu the educated youth who had returned.
So when I got home, I told Aunt Huang about it.
"Mom! The educated youth Gu is back!"
Aunt Huang paused while picking up beans: "Is the educated youth Gu back?!"
Liu Laifa sighed comfortably while sitting on the heated kang: "Yeah, I saw it when I came back from sending Little Fourth Sister off! Not only did the educated youth Gu come back, he also brought a huge kettle of hot water for the educated youth Ming!"
Aunt Huang asked curiously, "A thermos? Aren't all thermos the same size? And Xiao Ming's family already has several thermos, why did Zhiqing Gu buy a thermos?"
Liu Laifa scratched the back of his head and said, "I don't know. I saw he was holding one in his hand. Hmm, this one is bigger. Maybe he bought it because of this one?"
Aunt Huang couldn't understand it, so she shook her head and asked him about the matter of him sending Pan Xiaosi home.
At the educated youth point, educated youth Gu and his kettle of hot water also arrived home.
