Chapter 83: Deliberate Approach (Page 1/2)
Huo Qingci had just washed his hands and returned to the office to check the time on his watch when there was a knock on the office door.
“Knock, knock.”
Huo Qingci was puzzled. The office door was not closed. He turned around and asked, "Manman, why are you here?"
Lin Man stood at the door with her lunch box and asked softly, "Can I come in?"
"Come in, there's no one else here."
Lin Man walked in carrying a lunch box and gently placed it on the table. "Did you go for surgery?"
"Well, a female patient came in for emergency treatment early this morning. She had a myocardial infarction. Fortunately, she was saved in the end and the operation was successful."
"Oh, you must be very hungry. I was worried that you wouldn't have enough time to rest if you ran back, so I brought you some food."
Huo Qingci moved a chair over from another desk and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Manman. Please sit down."
Lin Man sat down, looked at Huo Qingci with a smile, and gave him a thumbs up, "You are really amazing, you saved another life."
"Manman, are your test results out?"
"It turned out that I have a little anemia, but the impact is not serious."
"Next time we should try to buy some pork liver and eat more pork liver and spinach, which is good for the body."
"Pork liver and pig's trotters are hard to buy. It's okay. As long as I eat more, my body will be healthy and I won't be anemic naturally."
If she hadn't been checked, Lin Man wouldn't have known that she actually had mild anemia. She had eaten very poorly at Lin Guosheng's house for the past 18 years, so it was normal for her to have anemia.
She was a little worried about whether she would have high blood pressure, because she used to eat leftovers at the Lin family, and the leftovers were really salty and not good for the body at all.
Lin Man hopes that Lin Guosheng's family will live in poverty and have no leftovers to eat.
What she didn't know was that Zhou Ping had taken a long leave of absence due to a head injury, and the leader in charge of the cafeteria directly fired her.
In order to earn money to support his family, Lin Guosheng had to endure the pain and go to work every day. Seeing that Zhou Ping had lost her job and did not dare to take a leave, Lin Yang and Shen Min also endured the pain and went to work.
But they are not doing clerical work and have to do manual labor, and the physical pain causes them to make mistakes frequently.
The leaders were worried that they would seriously hinder the team's progress, so they approved three months of leave for each of them, asking them to recover from their injuries before returning.
Of course they disagreed. If they didn't go to work, they wouldn't get paid, so how would they eat? But in the end, they had to face reality and took a month off to stay home and recover.
Once they took leave, the Lin family suddenly had four more people eating for free. Lin Guosheng was the only one working to earn money, and the pressure was extremely great.
Their family quarrels every day for various reasons, either about work or money. The Lin family is in chaos every day and there is no peace.
"Manman, what are you thinking about?"
"I'm not thinking about anything. Qingci, hurry up and eat. I'll go back for a nap after you finish eating."
Not sure if it was because of the pregnancy or the summer sleepiness, but Lin Man felt like sleeping after eating.
Huo Qingci opened the lunch box, looked at the fried egg inside, picked it up, and said, "Manman, have another fried egg."
"No, I'm already full, eat quickly!"
"Then have some spareribs."
Lin Man shook her head. "I don't want to eat. My chest feels stuffy if I eat too much."
"Then I'll eat it. Is this spicy shredded radish?"
"No, it's shredded papaya. Do you think it tastes good?"
Huo Qingci picked up a few pieces of papaya and chewed them with a crunching sound. "It's very crispy and goes well with rice."
Lin Man grinned, "Then we'll make another cold dish tonight."
"good."
Huo Qingci was eating, and Lin Man supported her head and watched him eat. Huang Yingying walked to the office door and wanted to invite Huo Qingci to have dinner together again.

Who would have thought that she would actually see a young woman delivering food to Dr. Huo. She wondered who this woman was, could she be his girlfriend?
Huang Yingying walked in without even knocking. "Doctor Huo, are you having dinner? Who is this comrade?"
Lin Man seemed to feel that this lesbian had a somewhat unfriendly expression, and her contemptuous eyes were also a little confused and inquiring.
Huo Qingci said directly: "She is my wife, Nurse Huang. Please knock on the door before coming in next time."
Dr. Huo is such a handsome and capable man, but he is married?
Oh my God! She had thought that as an assistant nurse, she would have a chance to get close to him, and maybe one day they could develop into a couple, and she could go to Kyoto for him.
Huang Yingying was a little embarrassed by what she said, "Well, I'm here to ask on behalf of Dr. Li if Dr. Huo is going to dinner."
"No need, my wife has already brought the food."
Even if Manman hadn't brought him food, he wouldn't have really gone out to eat with this group of men and women.
It’s not that I can’t afford it, but I don’t want to have too close contact with them. It’s enough to be just acquaintances with colleagues. If you get too involved, you may be stabbed in the back.
What's more, there are female comrades, so we should keep a certain distance. He was transferred to the general hospital here, and everyone above him knew that he was married.
He had told the department before that he was married and his wife was from Beijing. Could it be that they thought Manman didn't come to join the army?
After Huang Yingying awkwardly retreated from the office, she looked at Huo Qingci deeply again. It turned out that Dr. Huo was not unable to smile, but he just wouldn't smile at them.
How could her love be shattered before it even began? She was really born at the wrong time. If they had been childhood sweethearts, they should have had a chance, right?
As soon as Huang Yingying left, Huo Qingci stood up and closed the office door. Lin Man looked at him with a half-smile, "Doctor Huo is handsome and has a lot of luck in love."
Huo Qingci gave Lin Man a doting look and said, "You're talking nonsense."
"I'm not kidding. If you weren't so handsome, I wouldn't have taken the initiative to share a table with you for a blind date! You're really pretty, especially those peach blossom eyes. When you smile, even a dog can look at you with such affection."
Huo Qingci was so angry at his wife that he laughed, "When did my Manman become a puppy?"
Lin Man snorted coldly, "If I am a puppy, then you are the puppy's man, or dog man for short."
Huo Qingci laughed heartily, "Little fool, how can you call yourself a puppy?"
Lin Man curled her lips and said, "Eat quickly and stop talking."
From the very beginning, Lin Man knew clearly that Huo Qingci was very handsome. Not to mention others, sometimes even she herself couldn't help but want to lick his face when she saw him.
Everyone loves beauty, so it's normal for unmarried women to be attracted to him at first sight. As long as they don't interfere with his life, she doesn't despise them.
After Huo Qingci finished his meal, he washed the two lunch boxes and gave them to Lin Man to take back.
Before Lin Man left, Huo Qingci pulled her to sit down and gently placed his hand on her belly.
"Thank you, Manman. Our eldest daughter is coming."
"Your brother said it was his eldest nephew."
"Don't listen to him, he's a bit stupid. I've already decided, our daughter's nickname will be Duoduo."
Lin Man was puzzled, "Why call her Duoduo?"
"Because your name is Manman, our child's name is Huahua, but Huahua is too familiar, so we still call her Duoduo, or Huaguduo."
Lin Man chuckled, "When the sea breeze blows, the vines under the eaves sway in the wind, and the gorgeous morning glories bloom in the wind...
That vine is me, and you are the tireless and silly cow. The baby is the flower bud that you cultivated with so much effort, right?"
