Feng Aiyun

As Liang Juan said, not long after the medical staff who were assigned to the room next door moved in one after another, the marriage between Captain Hong's daughter and Doctor Chen was settled.

The wedding was scheduled for the end of November. Both Ye Min and Meng Cheng received invitations, the difference was that one was invited by the man and the other was invited by the woman.

Because the two parties held the wedding reception separately, the question was, should they go to the man's house to drink or to the woman's house to drink?

After discussing, the couple decided to act separately. Meng Cheng took Meng Zheng to Captain Hong's house, while Ye Min and An An went next door.

Before going out, Ye Min dressed An An up nicely.

The clothes An An was wearing today were bought for her by Ye Min after the weather turned cold in October. She was wearing black straight pants and a woolen jacket with a ruffled collar.

Because her hair had just been cut not long ago, it was a little short and could not be tied into a long ponytail. She also did not want to let it hang loose, so Ye Min divided her hair into two parts, braided it from the top of her head to the back of her neck, and tied it into a small bun.

After tying the braid, Ye Min stared at An An for a while, then took out a few hairpins from the box on the dressing table, picked out the most festive red color, and put it on the right side of the girl's head.

After finishing all this, Ye Min picked up the small mirror on the dressing table, held it in front of An An and asked, "How is it?"

An An looked up at the mirror, looked left, then right, and then praised her mother's work: "It looks good!"

After getting dressed and putting on their little leather shoes, the mother and daughter walked out of the room.

Meng Cheng and his son had not yet gone out and were sitting in the yard waiting for them.

Meng Cheng was still wearing his military uniform, while Meng Zheng also put on the new clothes his mother bought for him. Although he didn't spend as much time dressing up as his mother and sister, he felt good about himself. When he saw the two of them coming out, he jumped up from the stool and walked in front of his mother and sister.

Ye Min was talking to Meng Cheng and didn't notice Meng Zheng's little movements.

On the other hand, An An, although younger, was just like his brother in being vain and could understand Meng Zheng's train of thought very well. After he turned around, she gave him a thumbs up and said, "Handsome!"

This is a new word that An An has learned, and she also knows how to use it. When she compliments a boy, she says “handsome”, and when she compliments a girl, she says “pretty”.

After receiving his sister's approval, Meng Zheng smiled from ear to ear, but he did not forget to return the favor: "An An is also super super beautiful today!"

Hearing his son and daughter praising each other, Meng Cheng couldn't help wondering if he should say something, but he wasn't a very eloquent person and couldn't give a long speech of praise. Looking at Ye Min who had dressed up so carefully, he could only say something similar to Meng Zheng in the end: "You look beautiful today, too."

Meng Zheng has sharp ears and a quick mouth. Before Ye Min could even open her mouth, he asked loudly, "Dad, how did you learn to talk like me?"

The ambiguity disappeared instantly. Ye Min chuckled and looked at Meng Cheng and said, "You look so handsome today!"

"An An is complimenting me!" Meng Zheng yelled again.

An An echoed, "Mine!"

Meng Cheng gritted his teeth and rubbed Meng Zheng's head with his hand: "Yes, yes, you are the best!"

Meng Zheng didn't hear the gnashing of teeth in Meng Cheng's words at all. He raised his chin and said proudly, "Of course!" After separating from his mother and sister, he specifically said, "Dad, if you don't know how to praise Mom, you can ask me in the future!"

Meng Zheng used the word "ask for advice" so cleverly that Meng Cheng couldn't help laughing and asked, "Should I call you Teacher Meng from now on?"

Meng Zheng spread his hands and shrugged: "That's fine~"

"Since you are so sincere in teaching me, I will teach you martial arts in the future." Meng Cheng paused, looked at Meng Zheng's eyes and continued, "I have decided, you will double your training in the future."

Meng Zheng's expression instantly fell, and he twisted his body and asked, "Why?"

Meng Cheng chuckled: "Because you are too arrogant." Dezhi.

…

After separating from Meng Cheng and his son, Ye Min went to Ding's house to find Qian Xiaoyun.

Qian Xiaoyun and his wife also received invitations from both sides. Like Ye Min and his wife, they also planned to go for the drinks separately.

When they arrived at Ding's house, Ding Yang had not left the house yet. Qian Xiaoyun was almost seven months pregnant and her belly had grown big. There were many people here today, so he was worried, so he stayed at home and waited for Ye Min to come over and asked her to take good care of his wife at the table.

Ye Min smiled and said, "Don't worry, even if you don't tell me, I will take care of Xiaoyun."

Upon hearing this, Qian Xiaoyun pretended to be depressed and complained: "I told him all this, but he just wouldn't listen. He had to tell you in person."

"It shows that he cares about you."

After exchanging pleasantries, the four of them went out together. Ding Yang wanted to see them off, but Qian Xiaoyun felt that the place where they were drinking was just next door, only a few steps away, so there was no need to see him off, so he let him go when they reached the fork in the road.

After separating, the three of them walked towards the gate of the compound together.

The wedding of Captain Hong's daughter and Doctor Chen was quite grand. Most of the residents in the compound received invitations from the Hong family, and even Doctor Chen from the hospital was not left out.

However, most of the people living in the compound are closer to the Hong family. When Ye Min and her friends go out, there are few people accompanying them. There are even fewer people on the road from the family compound to the vocational college.

It was not until I entered the vocational college that the surroundings gradually became lively again.

There are two types of houses in the vocational school, the single worker building and the family building that married people can apply for. There are two buildings of the former, which are at the front of the vocational school. Inside the worker building are two completed family buildings, and further inside are two houses that are still under construction.

Doctor Chen was assigned Room 201, Unit 3, in the No. 2 Family Building. The house was not big, just over 50 square meters with two bedrooms, which was enough for a young couple to live in, but it certainly wouldn't be suitable for hosting a wedding banquet.

So the tables were arranged downstairs, from the open space under Building No. 1 to Building No. 2, with a total of twelve tables.

There are not so many rules for hosting a banquet these days. Except for the main table for elders and leaders, everyone else can sit anywhere. Ye Min brought her daughter with her, and Qian Xiaoyun was pregnant. Neither of them could drink, so they sat with female colleagues in the hospital.

Not long after the three of them sat down, Feng Aiyun came over.

But Feng Aiyun came over not to talk to Ye Min and Qian Xiaoyun, but to rub An An. After coming over, she directly covered An An's face with her hands, rubbed it for several times before letting go, and asked with a smile: "An An, do you miss your aunt?"

Feng Aiyun was not the only one in the compound who liked to rub An An's face. When she was younger, An An enjoyed such rubbing. But now she had a bad temper and didn't like being rubbed, so she not only didn't answer Feng Aiyun's question, but also pouted at her.

Seeing this, Ye Min looked saccharine, hugged her daughter tightly and said, "Don't cry, An An, we won't pay any attention to Auntie."

But Feng Aiyun was prepared. Seeing that An An was not ready to pay attention to her, she took out a candy from her pocket and shook it in front of An An: "An An, what is this?"

The little girl immediately forgot her anger and said, "Tangtang!"

"That's right! It's milk candy," Feng Aiyun coaxed, "Call me auntie and I'll give you the milk candy, okay?"

In front of Naitang, An An was spineless and immediately shouted, "Auntie."

Ye Min's lips twitched slightly: "How dare you deceive a little girl?"

"Why should you be embarrassed?" Feng Aiyun peeled off the candy and put it to An An's mouth, saying without blushing or panting, "I like An An. I wouldn't buy candy for ordinary people!"

Ye Min believed what he said. Feng Aiyun actually didn't like children that much. She was just obsessed with looks.

An An inherited the good looks of her parents. Even when she was a baby, she was prettier than other children. She was fair, tender, chubby, and well-behaved. She was very easy to take care of, so Feng Aiyun liked An An more and more.

Feng Aiyun didn't have the same feelings towards the other children in the compound.

After feeding An An the candy, Feng Aiyun sat next to Ye Min.

All the people sitting at this table are hospital nurses. They see each other every day and most of them have a good relationship.

Saying “mostly” just means that the relationships among people are not harmonious. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. When there are a lot of people, people with bad relationships will inevitably get together.

There were two people at this table who were not used to Feng Aiyun. When they saw her sitting down, one of them deliberately put on a surprised expression: "Huh? Xiao Feng, why are you sitting here? Doctor Zhai is sitting downstairs in Building No. 2, why don't you go over and say hello?"

Feng Aiyun has a bad temper. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to dislike Ye Min after being colleagues for a year. It was not until An An appeared that their relationship gradually improved.

It was not just Ye Min. Before that, her relationship with other nurses in the clinic was average until she got to know Ye Min.

After arriving at the new hospital, she didn't get along well with the new nurses and even offended a few of them. She deliberately mentioned that the two nurses who worked for Dr. Zhai had been offended by her.

If most people have bad relationships with their colleagues, they would feel more or less uneasy, but Feng Aiyun is not an ordinary person. He will continue to do his own thing even if he has offended others.

After hearing what the nurse said, Feng Aiyun rolled her eyes and asked, "Does it have anything to do with you whether I greet people or not?"

The man's face froze: "Aren't I concerned about you?"

Feng Aiyun chuckled: "Why don't you mind your own business."

The man was at a loss for words, and he opened his lips but didn't dare to speak again. However, the short-haired nurse sitting next to her couldn't help but taunted her, "Come on! Who in the hospital doesn't know that you were chasing after Doctor Zhai? You are usually so thick-skinned, what are you pretending to be now?"

Although free love has been advocated since the founding of the People's Republic of China, most girls of this era are reserved and passive in their emotions, and few take the initiative.

But Feng Aiyun is not an ordinary girl. She is bold and not afraid of what others say. Ever since she saw Zhai Mingqiu at the social gathering, she has been pursuing him passionately. Her methods include but are not limited to chatting him up at any time, sitting with him in the cafeteria after seeing him at noon and at night, and asking him to go to the movies during breaks.

But Zhai Mingqiu was obviously not interested in her. It was fine at first when he didn't know what she was thinking, but later when he found out that she wanted to pursue him, he started to avoid her and never accepted any movie invitations.

If a gay man pursues a lesbian, even if he fails, it is not a big deal, and he may even receive sympathy. But when the pursued becomes a gay man and the pursuer is a lesbian, public opinion is different.

Although some people sympathize with Feng Aiyun, there are also many people who think that she is not reserved enough and has no shame. Some, like these two nurses, would make some overt or covert remarks about her every time they see her.

Feng Aiyun couldn't stand it anymore. Hearing this, he slammed the table, stood up, pointed at the other party and said, "Say another word!"

"You dare to do such a shameless thing, why shouldn't I dare to say anything?" The short-haired nurse also stood up, "Everyone in the hospital knows that Dr. Zhai is harassed by you and now he is avoiding you..."

Although Feng Aiyun is not afraid of what others say, she is still a girl after all, and it is natural that she feels uncomfortable when people say these things to her face. Seeing her eyes reddened, Ye Min interrupted and said, "That's enough! We are all colleagues, and we see each other every day. Can you just say less and do yourself a favor?"

The short-haired nurse didn't take Ye Min seriously. Although it was a nurse's duty to assist doctors in their work and nurses in the department mostly had to obey doctors, in theory there was no difference between the two positions.

Moreover, she and Ye Min were not in the same department, and Ye Min had no control over her, so she had no intention of restraining herself after hearing what Ye Min said.

But just as she was about to speak, other people at the table started to smooth things over: "Yes, we are all colleagues, it would be great if we could get along well!"

"Xiao Zhao, please calm down and say less."

"Xiao Feng, don't bother with her. We are colleagues, why make a fuss to the point where it can't be cleared up?"

The short-haired nurse could ignore Ye Min alone, but when all the nurses at the table started to persuade her, she had to shut up no matter how reluctant she was.

Feng Aiyun, who had already stood up, was also pulled down by Ye Min. The fight seemed to have ended. But just as the atmosphere at the table became more harmonious, the short-haired nurse spoke again: "I've never seen such a shameless person!"

Although she was speaking to her friends and her voice was not loud, the conversation at the table had just come to an end when she spoke and the room was quiet. The table was small, so even though she and Feng Aiyun were sitting face to face, they were not far away and the latter could hear everything she said clearly.

Feng Aiyun couldn't bear it any longer, so she stood up, grabbed the chopsticks in front of her and threw them at the other person: "What did you say?"

The short-haired nurse didn't expect her action. Although she raised her hand, she only grabbed one chopstick. The other one was blocked by her and changed direction directly towards her forehead.

The moment the knocking sounded, the short-haired nurse screamed in pain and tears immediately welled up in her eyes. She ignored the advice of her colleagues and stood up and shouted, "I say you are shameless! Doctor Zhai ignored you, and you still had the audacity to chase him!"

Feng Aiyun stepped over the bench, walked around the dining table and walked towards the short-haired nurse.

When Ye Min saw this, she quickly asked Qian Xiaoyun to look after An An and got up to chase Qian Xiaoyun. However, she was a few steps too slow and when she passed by, Feng Aiyun had already started fighting with the short-haired nurse.

The nurses around them looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Ye Min went over and hugged Feng Aiyun's waist, and shouted to the others: "Hurry up and separate them!"

Seeing her move, the others followed suit and finally separated the two before they could bleed on each other's faces. But the two were already angry and kept swearing after being separated. The scene was very chaotic.

It wasn't until Yao Lin got the news and saw the scene that he shouted with a dark face: "Enough!"

As the dean, Yao Lin was very authoritative in the hospital. After his shout, Feng Aiyun and the short-haired nurse quieted down, lowered their heads and began to tidy up their hair and collars.

Yao Lin glanced at the two men and his expression darkened: "Who started it first?"

The short-haired nurse quickly pointed at Qian Xiaoyun: "It was her! She hit me with chopsticks!"

"She called me shameless first!" Qian Xiaoyun said without giving in.

The two were about to quarrel again, so Yao Lin stepped in to stop them: "Shut up!" He pointed at Ye Min and said, "Xiao Ye, tell me what's going on."

The short-haired nurse looked dissatisfied: "Director, she and Feng Aiyun are in cahoots!"

Ye Min said: "Although I have a good relationship with Feng Aiyun, I was not the only one present. If I exaggerated, I believe everyone would point it out and would not let me talk nonsense."

Although Yao Lin is not arrogant in Ye Min's eyes, he is the dean after all and is busy with work. He does not have much time to build relationships with the people below him.

So among the people at this table, the one he was most familiar with was the elderly people from the health center.

It turned out that among all the people in the health center, he believed in Ye Min's fairness the most, so he ignored the short-haired nurse and said again: "Xiao Ye, you go ahead and talk."

Ye Min's actions were consistent with her words. She said she would not exaggerate, and she really did not exaggerate at all when she spoke. But the short-haired nurse's words were fine if they were said in private, but when they were brought to the public, not only did Yao Lin frown, but she herself also gradually lowered her head.

After recounting what happened, Ye Min said: "As Feng Aiyun's friend, I can't judge who was right or wrong in the fight, but there is one thing I must say."

Because of the first half of the sentence, Yao Lin didn't think much about it and nodded, "Well, you go ahead."

Ye Min looked at the short-haired nurse and said, "I want to say that you really deserve a beating!" She then applauded Feng Aiyun, "You did a good job just now!"

Feng Aiyun was stunned when he heard this.

Not only her, many people at the scene were stunned. Although most people felt that Feng Aiyun was more right in this matter, at the same time, most people thought that "it is better to leave a way out for the future". They were all colleagues, and it would be bad to favor anyone.

Although Ye Min and Feng Aiyun have a better relationship, they are outsiders after all, so there is no need for them to take sides so clearly.

Feng Aiyun thought the same thing, so she couldn't help but tear up, covered her mouth, walked over to Ye Min, hugged her and said, "Thank you."

"You are welcome."

The two of them were fine, but Yao Lin was troubled by what he saw. He said unhappily, "Come on, you're proud of fighting, right? Today is Xiao Chen's wedding, look at you guys making a fuss!"

After saying this, he paused for a moment and said, "It was indeed Xiao Liu who started today's incident, so he should bear the main responsibility."

The short-haired nurse named Liu raised her head suddenly and said, "She was the first to attack."

"If you hadn't started it first, why would she have started it first? Comrade Liu, I hope you can think clearly. You came to the military hospital to work, not to fight with your colleagues or gossip about them!"

After Yao Lin finished scolding Xiao Liu, he glared at Feng Aiyun who was trying to hold back his smile and said, "Don't be happy. She was wrong to start trouble, but you were also wrong for starting it first. If there is a quarrel between colleagues, you can report it to your superiors! Don't you think your leader will let you handle it? No matter what it is, you lose if you start it first!"

Seeing Feng Aiyun lower her head, Yao Lin asked the people standing around who their leaders were. After their leaders came forward, he said, "You two will have your allowances for this month deducted. Tomorrow after work, each of you must submit a 3,000-word self-review. The department leaders will supervise you."

The two leaders quickly agreed. Although Xiao Liu and Feng Aiyun were reluctant, they did not dare to challenge the dean's authority and agreed.

After explaining the punishment, Yao Lin asked them to apologize to each other.

Xiao Liu spoke first, but his tone was very reluctant.

Feng Aiyun was more stubborn and kept silent until Yao Lin urged her to say, "I don't think I did anything wrong. Even if I said sorry, if she dares to say bad things about me next time, I will still dare to..."

Seeing that Yao Lin was about to lose his temper, Ye Min quickly grabbed Feng Aiyun and said, "Alright, stop talking." Then she comforted Yao Lin and said, "President, don't be angry. Xiao Feng is just like that. She is young and ignorant and doesn't like to hear what she says. How about I take her to another table to prevent the two of them from quarreling again?"

After saying that, without waiting for Yao Lin to answer, he pulled Feng Aiyun away.

As soon as they left, Yao Lin naturally had no place to vent his anger, and he also felt that what Ye Min said made sense.

When they were at the health center, Feng Aiyun was known for her unpleasant personality. Ye Min was such an amiable person, yet the two disliked each other even when they worked together.

But the relationships between people are really complicated. When the two of them were together in the pharmacy, their relationship was not good. After Ye Min was transferred, the two gradually became closer.

Thinking of these things, Yao Lin's anger gradually dissipated. He ignored Xiao Liu, who did not receive an apology from Feng Aiyun, and said directly to the onlookers: "Everyone, go back to your seats. The banquet is about to start. Don't waste time."

The dean spoke, and everyone naturally listened. They returned to their seats one after another, and the atmosphere gradually returned to normal. Yao Lin and his friends did not stay here for long, and quickly returned to the main table and sat down.

Although most banquets these days are open to anyone, family elders and company leaders are usually seated at the main table, and drinkers usually sit closer to the main table. Non-drinkers will choose a seat farther away.

Because the house assigned to Dr. Chen was in Building No. 2, the main table was arranged at the bottom of Building No. 2, and accordingly, there were six tables for drinking.

Neither Ye Min nor Feng Aiyun wanted to drink, so they did not go downstairs to Building No. 2, but walked from one end of Building No. 1 to the other.

The guests at the new table were mostly lesbians, including a few children.

After settling Feng Aiyun at the table, Ye Min walked back. Before she got there, she saw Qian Xiaoyun and An An coming over. She walked up to them and asked, "Are you guys okay?"

"Nothing." Qian Xiaoyun shook his head and asked, "Where are you sitting?"

Ye Min pointed back, led the two of them over, and sat down next to Feng Aiyun.

Feng Aiyun had already tidied up her clothes that were torn apart during the fight, but a button on her coat had fallen off. She was too lazy to go back and look for it, so she simply unbuttoned all the buttons, revealing the light-colored shirt underneath.

Her hair had been re-tied, with only a few strands hanging in front of her forehead. Her face was fair, and except for the slightly red eyes, there was no sign that she had just had an argument.

...It's not like I can't see the change in her mood at all.

Before the quarrel, she was very thoughtful in teasing An An, with her eyes crooked, and you could tell at a glance that she was in a good mood. After the quarrel, although she smiled, it was always a bit forced.

Because there were so many people at the table, Ye Min didn't say much.

After dinner, Feng Aiyun followed her back home. She coaxed the sleepy An An to sleep, and asked Qian Xiaoyun to help watch over her. Then she walked out of the room, poured a glass of water and handed it to Feng Aiyun who was sitting on the sofa, and asked, "Are you okay?"

Feng Aiyun did not take the water, but covered her face and cried loudly.

Ye Min thought she was sad because of the rumors, so she put down her cup and sat next to her. She patted her shoulder and said, "Some people are like this. They say it's against ethics and customs because they don't like it. But they don't think about the fact that we are in a new society now. We are free to love, everyone is equal, and everyone has the right to pursue happiness."

Feng Aiyun's tears came and went quickly. She stopped crying soon, wiped away her tears and said, "Actually, I'm not crying for this."

"What is that?" Ye Min asked.

"You should also know that I like Doctor Zhai, but he doesn't like me." Feng Aiyun said, "In fact, every time I see you and Captain Meng standing together, I envy you and look forward to meeting such a person in the future. When I first met Doctor Zhai, I thought he would be that person..."

Feng Aiyun looked up and gave Ye Min a bitter smile: "So even though he said he only sees me as a colleague and doesn't want to consider life events for the time being, I think sincerity can move mountains and rocks, and one day I will be able to impress him, but I forgot that feelings cannot be forced, if you don't like it, you don't like it."

When she had an argument with someone in the morning, she really hoped that Zhai Mingqiu would show up, but he didn't.

In fact, she could understand that this matter had nothing to do with Zhai Mingqiu, and he was implicated purely out of nothing. And even if he wanted to come, the hospital leaders would definitely not agree. His absence was just a quarrel between colleagues. Once he showed up, it would most likely be spread as a sex scandal.

Rumors like these may not mean much at ordinary times, but at critical moments, they can easily be used to make a fuss, and if serious, they may even affect your future.

He has outstanding medical skills and is the focus of training by the department director and even the hospital director. There is no way they will watch him do something that will ruin his future.

But she still felt bad.

People are like this. When they don’t understand love, they yearn for love, but when they really fall into a hopeless relationship, they wish they knew nothing.

But how can one mold and flatten a person's heart? All Feng Aiyun can do now is wipe away her tears and pretend to be nonchalant: "It's nothing, if you don't like it, then you don't like it. I'm not bad. If I don't have Dr. Zhai, I will meet Dr. Zhang, Dr. Zhao, and Dr. Li in the future. This one doesn't matter."

"It's good that you think so."

Ye Min patted Feng Aiyun on the shoulder and consoled her, "Go back and have a good sleep. When you wake up, you will find that many things are not a big deal."
