Chapter 54: Specially prepared for you
Cheng Yuan was stunned for a moment, and only came to his senses after being poked by his mother. He just looked at the beautiful girl coming towards him and immediately straightened his back. It was not until his mother said, "Comrade Shen," that he woke up from his dream.
At the beginning, he was only looking for those older women. After all, his captain's platoon leader was already very old, so there was no way he could be a beautiful girl.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?"
"No, no, we just got here a while ago. Let's talk in the room. Yufen happens to have no patients at the moment. Let's drink some water and talk slowly."
Cheng Yuan couldn't help but feel regretful. His girlfriend looked okay, but compared with the person in front of him, she was a little worse. Although it was inappropriate to think so, he still didn't miss the opportunity to talk to her.
"You, you are Comrade Shen, I don't know how to address you."
Shen Meng frowned, she felt that this person's smile was very greasy.
"Just call me Comrade Shen."
Cheng Yufen cleaned up the table and poured a cup of warm water for each of them. The enamel pots were brought from home in the morning, otherwise there would not be enough.
"Comrade Shen, I was wrong yesterday and said something I shouldn't have said. Don't take it personally. This is my son Cheng Yuan. He knew that I had made trouble and insisted on coming to apologize to you. Oh, this is our own thing, it's not worth much money, you have to accept it!"
Wang Jin'e had been thinking about how to say nice things to Shen Meng in the morning. Now she can say it so smoothly, thanks to practicing silently several times.
What she handed to Shen Meng was a bag of eggs, canned yellow peaches, and some dried vegetables. It looked like there was nothing valuable except the canned yellow peaches, but Shen Meng could sense something unusual from her attentiveness.
"Hey, I can't accept this. I have something else to do later. Let me make it short. This is a radio, brand new and unused. I'll give you the money and the goods, and we're even now. As long as Dr. Cheng is doing well, I won't have the time to worry about anything else."
"Yes, yes, I will keep an eye on my mother in the future and never let her come over to disturb my aunt. Oh, this is the money for the radio, please count it."
Shen Meng took a quick look at it and nodded to them.
"Well, then I'll leave first if there's nothing else. You guys chat slowly."
"Hey, wait, Comrade Shen, you should take these. We'll feel more at ease if you take them, and besides, my captain is a soldier trained by your husband, so it's only right that he show some respect." Shen
Meng turned around and smiled at them, "That won't do. Isn't this a mistake? I don't take a single penny from the masses. Are you bribing me, Comrade Cheng?"
Cheng Yuan just wanted to feel at ease, but he didn't expect that this woman was not greedy for money. He liked her even more.
"No, that's not what I meant. This is specially prepared for you. It's okay if you really don't want it. Oh, I'm a militiaman. If you need any help in the future, just ask. We are from the same county, right?"
"Yes!"
Shen Meng nodded and walked out of the hospital. In the office, Cheng Yufen packed up three enamel cups that had not been drunk from.
"Sister-in-law, you and Xiaoyuan should go back first. I have to see patients in the afternoon."
Wang Jin'e rolled her eyes at her and put away the things she brought.
"It's better not to take it. I have saved these eggs for a long time. I will use them to nourish Xiaoyuan later. This woman is also a fool. She really thought that I prepared something worthless. There are two pounds of fat meat in my dried vegetables. I spent extra money and they left it for me. Humph!"
Cheng Yufen sighed and looked at the complacent Wang Jin'e and said, "Sister-in-law, people must know that there is cat guts in it. If they really take the things, they will be in trouble!" "
Okay, okay, you are all smart people, I am a stupid person. Okay, oh, it's so late, Yufen, you don't even know to prepare food for Xiaoyuan and me, it's really..."
"Mom, what did you just promise to Comrade Shen? Let's go home. Aunt, don't mind what my mother said. You must come to my wedding later!"
Cheng Yuan finished speaking and left the office. He looked around the corridor, but he didn't see the beauty anymore. Thinking of getting married soon, he felt melancholy and didn't have the expectation as before.
"Okay, son, let's go quickly. I don't think you need to mind Comrade Shen's words. I won't make things difficult for your aunt, but this relative still has to go."
She was thinking that when Cheng Yuan got married later, she would ask Cheng Yufen to give a big gift. It was natural for an aunt to give some money to her nephew for marriage. It was not embarrassing.
Cheng Yufen looked at the backs of her sister-in-law and nephew as they walked away, thinking about the cold and indifferent atmosphere in her home last night. She couldn't help but think of what Shen Meng said. Did she really do something wrong these years?
After leaving the hospital, Shen Meng carefully counted the money in her hand. It was exactly the same, not a penny off.
She was really tired after riding a bicycle all day. She really wanted to take out the big jeep in the space and drive back. However, bicycles were rare these days. If she really drove a jeep to the countryside, the fields she passed by would be full of members going to work, so she would have to run to the side of the road to take a look.
Helplessly, she found a deserted place, ate a sirloin steak in the space, drank two sips of red wine, and then rode her bicycle to Shenjiaji.
It was already 2:30 in the afternoon when she arrived at the Shen family. When she entered the yard, everyone in the Shen family was there, except for the children, who had not gone out to play. They were all waiting in the yard.
"Xiao Meng is back. Why did you go out for so long? You must be hungry. I left some food for you. Come and eat."
"Brother, I ate a little on the way. I'm not hungry. Why are you always at home?"
Shen Shoutian laughed innocently. "I saw you were home and wanted to see you. If you had come back in the afternoon, I wouldn't have seen you."
Shen Shoutian's wife, Lu Qinlan, also smiled at her.
The eldest and his wife in the Shen family are both honest people. They have three children. The oldest is thirteen years old and the youngest is six years old. The cousin from the grandmother's side that Lu Mingyang mentioned is their child Shen Xiaohu.
Shen Yutian is the second son of the Shen family. He is holding a sleeping child in his arms. Next to him is his wife Su Xiaomei. She looks anxious and dodgy when she looks at people. She dares not look people in the eye because her right foot is a little lame, which is the sequelae of polio when she was a child.
The youngest son of the Shen family is Shen Xiaobin. He is taking some nieces and nephews out to play.
"Brother, I'm not hungry. Let's save the food for dinner. We'll leave tomorrow."
