Officer Wu saw that he was sitting still and hadn't touched his chopsticks.
At this moment, the outer door was opened again, and the waiter brought out two more dishes and a soup.
There are still vegetables here?
Officer Wu's expression clearly showed that he was both happy and satisfied.
He's already decided that the two of them definitely can't finish all the food, so he'll pack it up and take it home so his family can have a nice meal together.
The food at the Victory Hotel is famously delicious, far superior to that of ordinary state-run restaurants.
Xu Xiangyang said with a smile, "Officer Wu, I don't know if you drink alcohol, here are two bottles of Moutai."
As he spoke, he handed over two bottles of baijiu (Chinese liquor).
Moutai is a special-supply liquor, and under normal circumstances, no one would be willing to buy it. A bottle of one-jin (500ml) liquor costs nine yuan, which is unaffordable for most people.
Even if you could afford to buy it, you couldn't afford to drink it; it's practically drinking money.
Officer Wu's eyes lit up. He didn't have many hobbies, except for drinking. But with a large family, he drank cheap liquor every day, which was nothing compared to Moutai.
"Oh dear, I'm so sorry to have troubled Comrade Xu with all this money." He accepted it with a smile, showing no embarrassment whatsoever.
Xu Xiangyang was used to it. He didn't dislike people who would do things for a fee. Getting things done quickly was the best thing to do.
After the two finished their meal, Officer Wu took out two lunchboxes that he carried with him, which he used when he ate at the office.
As for bringing an extra one, it's because Xu Xiangyang invited him to dinner today, and he borrowed it from a colleague.
He made the right choice; if the box hadn't been too full, he would have liked to bring the soup along too.
"Comrade Xu, don't worry about the parts. Just come and pick them up tomorrow afternoon. I'll get it done for you." Officer Wu said, carrying a lunchbox in one hand and picking his teeth with the other, a pleased expression on his face.
We were very satisfied with the meal and drinks.
Xu Xiangyang smiled and nodded, having been waiting for him to say that. "Then I'll trouble you, Officer Wu. Take care."
Both of them were very satisfied, and Officer Wu happily pushed his bicycle away.
Xu Xiangyang breathed a sigh of relief; he could finally go home for the New Year.
Fortunately, he resolved the issue of the cotton-padded shoes before he left; otherwise, he would have become a person who only talks the talk, and what credibility would he have left?
Especially Ma Xinping and his group, who were even more particular about these things.
He turned around and bought a bowl of millet porridge and two steamed buns.
I don't know what Gu Panyun can eat, but eating something light is definitely the right thing to do.
I just had surgery; it's just a small wound, but it's quite deep.
At the health center, Gu Panyun was feeling weak. She glanced at her watch and realized it was almost six o'clock.
It was already dark outside, and the other patients in the ward had all eaten.
The elderly woman in the next bed glanced at Gu Panyun and said, "Young comrade, haven't you eaten yet? I have a steamed bun here. If you don't mind, have some."
She saw the little girl alone at first and assumed no one was watching her.
Gu Panyun quickly waved her hand, "No need, thank you, auntie, I... I'm not hungry."
She was about to say, "My colleague will bring me food," but then she thought, what if they don't come? Wouldn't she be the one who gets laughed at?
So she changed her address to avoid embarrassment.
The old lady didn't insist; if they didn't want to eat, that was fine too. After all, no one's food comes from thin air.
Gu Panyun bit her lip, wondering if Comrade Xu had forgotten about her.
Just as she was feeling down and thought she would be starving all night, the door to the ward opened.
Seeing that she was half-lying down, Xu Xiangyang said, "Comrade Gu, are you hungry? I'm sorry I'm late."
He took the shuttle bus back; otherwise, it would have been even slower. Walking is never as fast as taking a bus.
When Gu Panyun saw him return, she suddenly felt very happy, a strange emotion welling up inside her. However, she didn't pay much attention to it, assuming it was probably because she felt there was someone to help her in an unfamiliar place.
"Comrade Xu." She didn't know what to say, so she just smiled.
"So that's why you weren't eating my steamed buns," the old lady next to her said with a smile. "Turns out you were waiting for your boyfriend to bring you food."
Object?
Gu Panyun suddenly blushed, "No, Comrade Xu is my colleague."
Her face flushed red, and she turned to look at Xu Xiangyang before immediately turning her head away.
How could this old lady talk nonsense!
Xu Xiangyang was also taken aback for a moment, then said, "Yes, we are colleagues. Comrade Gu, let's eat."
He placed the food on the table next to him and then sat down beside it.
Gu Panyun felt a pang of sadness upon hearing his words, but she quickly dismissed it.
What they said was true; we were just colleagues.
"Thank you, Comrade Xu, for your trouble." She accepted the meal.
The older woman next to her didn't say anything more; since the other person had already denied it, saying anything more would only be annoying.
Xu Xiangyang looked at her and reminded her, "There are still some steamed buns here. I didn't know how many you could eat, so I only bought two."
Most women probably can't eat that much, but his mother eats six steamed buns and two bowls of cornmeal in one meal. She must be something else.
Wang Xiumin: I felt offended.
Gu Panyun nodded, "That's enough." She usually eats a lot, but she can't eat much when she goes out because she always feels that the food doesn't suit her taste.
"Hey? You can't eat after an appendectomy!" A nurse came over to remind you, "You can only eat tomorrow, not now."
This is awkward!
However, Gu Panyun was very obedient and put it down obediently.
Xu Xiangyang didn't understand either. If they said not to eat it, then he shouldn't eat it for now.
If something really goes wrong, he can't afford the consequences. After all, they're not even friends. Don't give him any bad advice; listen to the doctor.
