Chapter 123 Being stood up



Have a good night's sleep.

It was not until breakfast that Mu Huaixi saw Xiaohua's brother and sister-in-law. They were both very enthusiastic people, which made her feel embarrassed.

She lived very close to the examination venue, and had a local from the county town, Wang Xiaohua, to lead the way. After dinner, she drank a pot of tea in the yard before leisurely setting off.

Mu Huaixi was a little nervous before the exam, but relaxed when he really got the test paper. There were only ten multiple-choice questions and five essay questions on the front and back of a page, and the blank space left for each question was very large. Later he learned that some rural doctors had completed literacy training, and each word they wrote was very big, and the space left was too small for them to write.

The subsequent practical training was not difficult. Mu Huaixi looked at his neighbor who had just been scratching his head in the examination room and was now treating and bandaging the wound skillfully. He realized that all the doctors taking the exam were doctors who actually served in the villages.

The exam was completed successfully and she was issued a rural doctor certificate on the spot. When she returned to Wang Xiaohua's house, she was greeted by a large table of delicious food. Mu Huaixi was in a really wonderful mood.

This good mood came to an abrupt end until Wang Xiaohua took him to meet her good friend.

"Why hasn't she come yet?" Wang Xiaohua stood at the park entrance, looking anxiously ahead, then turned back to explain to Mu Huaixi, "Xifang isn't that kind of person. She must have been delayed by something."

Wang Xiaohua and Zhang Xifang had originally agreed to go to her house, but this morning they changed their plan to meet at the park entrance.

"It seems that Xifang's acne has improved a lot, and she dares to go out again," Wang Xiaohua was very happy on the way here, but the two of them waited for almost an hour and still didn't see anyone.

Wang Xiaohua was anxious and embarrassed. She walked back and forth with sweat on her forehead and her neck stretched out.

"How about, Doctor Mu, you take a walk in the park first?"

Acne is not a big problem. Wang Xiaohua originally planned to wait for Mu Huaixi to examine Zhang Xifang, and then the three of them would go to the park, visit the department store, and have dinner together.

Unexpectedly, the sun was already setting and there was still no sign of Zhang Xifang. Wang Xiaohua had just run to the phone booth to call Zhang's family, but was puzzled to learn that she had already left.

Mu Huaixi was actually a little worried. She shook her head and rejected Xiaohua's suggestion. She turned around and bought a bag of strange-tasting beans. She also asked the boss to borrow two small stools and asked Xiaohua to sit over.

"Don't worry, maybe something urgent has happened."

Wang Xiaohua's eyes were red. She was also worried about her good friend. In order to let Mu Huaixi show Zhang Xifang, she saved up a long vacation, wrote a letter in advance to make an appointment, and even called early this morning, but she didn't expect to be stood up.

"Let's go to the park and ignore her!" Wang Xiaohua felt very aggrieved, but didn't want Dr. Mu to suffer as well, so she stood up, returned the stool, and pulled Mu Huaixi to buy tickets.

The parks in the county town do charge admission, but with a 50-cent ticket you can feed pigeons in the square, go boating in the lake, and see tigers in the zoo. It's actually quite a good deal.

Wang Xiaohua had already put her mind at ease after buying the tickets, and excitedly took her into the park. "Boss Mu, do you want to feed the pigeons first or go boating?"

"Let's feed the pigeons." Seeing that the corners of her eyes were still a little red, Mu Huaixi thought that the square for feeding pigeons was closer to the door, so it would be easier for Zhang Xifang to find them when she came to look for them.

Just as they were about to check their tickets and enter, they heard an urgent voice from behind, "Xiaohua, Wang Xiaohua!! Why didn't you wait for me?!"

Wang Xiaohua was very happy when she first heard the shout, but her face fell when she heard the last sentence. She turned around and ran straight towards the girl in a red cardigan and ponytail, "Zhang Xifang! You stood me up and you're complaining first, right? When did we meet? What time is it now? Huh? If you don't come, do I have to wait for you forever? Am I such a jerk!"

Zhang Xifang kept winking at her, but Xiaohua was so angry that she didn't hear anything.

Mu Huaixi, who followed over, noticed something. Behind Zhang Xifang was a tall and thin young man holding a small maroon bag, and he seemed to have a close relationship with her.

"I'm wrong, I'm wrong, I'm wrong. My boyfriend suddenly came to see me. Xiaohua, please give me some face," Zhang Xifang hugged Wang Xiaohua and begged for mercy, but what she said made her even angrier. "My boyfriend cares about me and made an appointment for me with an old Chinese doctor who is hard to schedule. We rushed to see him and came here!"

Mu Huaixi's ears moved slightly, thinking that Xiaohua must be heartbroken.

As expected, Wang Xiaohua sneered, "Alright, I'll rush over and get the doctor from our clinic to come over for you. You can go see the old Chinese doctor he found. Zhang Xifang, you're really good!"

"It was just a coincidence. The old doctor went home a few days ago and just came back, so I took Xifang there in a hurry. It's really my fault." Zhang Xifang's boyfriend Zhao Shangang was sincere. He apologized and bought them soda, which saved their precarious friendship.

The orange soda produced in the county town is delicious. There is a layer of water droplets on the green glass bottle. It is icy and bubbly, which suppressed Wang Xiaohua's anger.

But she still felt bad for Mu Huaixi. Seeing that Mu Huaixi really liked drinking soda, she quietly came over and said, "There's another kind of apple soda that tastes even better. I'll treat you tonight!"

After drinking the soda, Wang Xiaohua suggested that Mu Huaixi take a look at Zhang Xifang, but Zhang Xifang was a little hesitant. "The old Chinese medicine doctor has already prescribed some medicine. Why don't we go to the park?"

Mu Huaixi didn't have much of a good impression of Zhang Xifang, but she was Wang Xiaohua's friend after all, so as soon as she appeared, Mu Huaixi began to observe her.

"Xifang, do you often get hives like this?" Mu Huaixi pointed at her exposed forearm, where there was a slightly reddish and swollen bump and two deep red scratch marks.

Zhang Xifang was stunned. She didn't even notice any changes on her arm. She even scratched it subconsciously twice, but didn't take it seriously.

Wang Xiaohua nodded again, "Xifang is like this. Sometimes it happens when she catches a cold, sometimes when she's too hot. I guess it's because she just drank some ice soda."

"Indeed," Zhang Xifang suddenly realized and hugged Wang Xiaohua warmly, "Xiaohua, you are still good to me."

"I'm being nice to you, but you still stood me up. You're such a bad person." Wang Xiaohua rolled her eyes and asked Mu Huaixi, "Boss Mu, this should be urticaria. Is it serious?"

"Urticaria is quite common," Mu Huaixi replied, then asked Zhang Xifang, "Do you get frostbite easily? Do your calves swell? Do you get mouth ulcers easily?"

Zhang Xifang's brows furrowed as she listened. She glanced sheepishly at the person standing not far away and bumped into her friend next to her with some resentment. However, Wang Xiaohua spoke before her, "Xifang, I'm not the one who told Boss Mu this!"
