She couldn't help but ask, "Xiaoxi, who are you looking at?"
"Aunt, I have a classmate named Zhou Yiyi. Her father is Zhong Chengzhi. He was sent here because he was seriously ill. I don't know how he is doing now. I came to see them..."
Feng Lanxuan showed a look of understanding on her face, it turned out to be her patient. However, she really didn't know that Zhou Yiyi and Xiaoxi were classmates.
But she knew that Zhou Yiyi was from Peking University, so she didn't think about it that way. The people in the Zhou family seemed to know about their relationship, but they didn't say anything. This was a bit intriguing.
Does he not trust her or is he afraid of getting into trouble?
"They have been here for two days, but I haven't heard them mention the relationship between Yi Yi and your classmate."
In fact, the old man of the Zhou family and the Feng family knew each other, but they just didn't interact as much. Of course, by Feng Lanxuan's generation, there was almost no interaction. After all, it was not so convenient to contact each other when they lived in two different cities.
Shen Mingxi's clear eyes turned around, and she knew immediately that Feng Lanxuan might have some grudges. She quickly said, "Aunt, first, maybe she didn't have time to tell you, and second, they think they trust your medical skills and your character very much. Whether you know them or not will not play any role in Uncle Zhong's surgery. You will say that you treat every patient seriously. Aunt Zhou and Uncle Zhou are both very good people. I think they must think so."
Feng Lanxuan was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and laughed, feeling that she seemed a little utilitarian and was not as clear-sighted as a child.
It was all caused by the random red envelopes I gave out a few days ago.
He reached out and touched Shen Mingxi's forehead, and said affectionately: "Xiaoxi, then I will take you there."
Shen Mingxi pointed to a net bag of fruits on a wooden shelf on the other side and said, "Aunt, those are the fruits I brought for you. Remember to take them back to your office and eat them later..."
The fruits that Shen Mingxi brought were always delicious. Feng Lanxuan had eaten them several times and still couldn't forget the taste. However, she was an elder and it was not easy for her to ask Shen Mingxi for fruits.
Moreover, the places where Xiaoxi buys fruits are very scattered and far from her workplace, and she doesn’t have the time to go buy them. She didn’t expect this little girl to be so thoughtful and bring such a big pile. It must be more than ten kilograms, right?
The net bag is made of nylon rope. Plastic bags were not used in that era, and people used their own baskets and net bags to buy things.
It was filled with apples and oranges. Apples were everywhere at this time of year, but oranges didn't seem to be on the market yet in this season. She didn't know where Xiaoxi bought them from, but she was too lazy to ask. Even if she knew, she didn't have time to go there to buy them.
"You are such a thoughtful kid. I will send you to Zhong Chengzhi's ward and then I will take it back to the office. Otherwise, those greedy kids will divide the fruit among themselves."
The young nurse at the side stuck out her tongue. She knew that this was what Doctor Feng said. Every time she brought something, everyone shared it.
Feng Lanxuan sent Shen Mingxi to the VIP ward upstairs. When she came back, she gave the young nurse an apple. Then she took the net bag and quickly went to her office. The fruit was delicious. It was not that she was selfish. If she shared it with everyone, she would be lucky to have one apple left.
However, in the end, she didn't manage to save many of the fruits.
Fortunately, she ate two, which was enough for her.
At this time, Shen Mingxi and Zhou Yiyi were sitting in the corridor talking, while Zhou Yuchun and Zhou's uncle went to the ward.
The operation will be performed immediately after the decision is made. Shen Mingxi found that Zhou Yiyi's expression today is different from that of yesterday. Her eyes are red, as if she has been crying. Could it be that Zhong Chengzhi's condition is not good?
Shen Mingxi comforted her softly, but she didn't expect Zhou Yiyi to tell Shen Mingxi that although she had misunderstood her father over the years, she didn't think her father was right to do so, so she was very conflicted now.
Shen Mingxi let out a long sigh. So that was what was happening. She knew that Zhou Yuchun must have received the box, but receiving it was received and it couldn't be used to resolve the grudge. Many times, one would not feel pain unless the needle pricked one's body. Only by empathizing with others could one know the various feelings.
But what could she say?
"Yiyi, since Aunt Zhou told you about this, I think she still hopes that you can understand them. It's been so long since the past happened. Regardless of whether it was right or wrong, Uncle Zhong must have had a hard time in the past ten years, otherwise he wouldn't be so seriously ill..."
Zhou Yiyi lowered her head and felt very sad. The person whom she had hated for such a long time suddenly asked her to treat him as a relative. Such a sudden change made her very confused. Zhou Yiyi felt that she could not do it.
"Xiaoxi, I know what you said makes sense, but I just can't get over it. I can't control what my mother does, but I can control myself, right?"
Shen Mingxi reached out and patted Zhou Yiyi on the shoulder. The little girl spoke out of anger, and she would feel better once she got over the hurdle in her heart.
"Okay, take me to see Uncle Zhong. These fruits are delicious. I see that Aunt Zhou and my uncle don't look very well, so you should keep these emotions to yourself for now, otherwise they will feel even more sorry for you."
Zhou Yiyi sniffed and said, "I know. I won't let them worry about me. I have enough things to do already."
Having said that, Zhou Yiyi stood up and took Shen Mingxi to the ward.
Uncle Zhou just walked away with Aunt Feng Lanxuan, and they talked about Zhong Chengzhi's condition and surgical plan as they walked. It seems that the time for the surgery will be set in the next few days.
At this time, Zhou Yuchun was pouring water for Zhong Chengzhi. Because he had been hospitalized and taken medicine, although he did not have surgery, Zhong Chengzhi looked a little better. His eyes lit up when he saw Shen Mingxi and Zhou Yiyi come in.
However, there was still anxiety and uneasiness in his eyes. He owed his daughter too much and didn't know how to make it up to her.
"It's the creek coming."
Zhong Chengzhi still greeted him weakly, his voice was very gentle.
He was not lying on the hospital bed, but half leaning against the head of the bed with two soft pillows behind him. It was obvious that Zhou Yuchun had taken care of him.
He glanced at his daughter and called softly, "Yi Yi."
Zhou Yiyi was obviously still very awkward. She stood at the door of the ward and did not look up at Zhong Chengzhi.
