Chapter 80 Chapter 80 The fragrant aroma of roasted wild pecans...
On this day, Su Tianli, Yao Meiyu and Lin Lin were eating roasted pecans in the nurses' lounge at their workplace.
Yes,
The pecans were also sent by Sister Tang.
My relatives in my hometown picked up wild pecans from the mountains. They dried them for a winter, and the shells were crispy. They were buried in the stove ash. When I cooked a meal, I pulled the pecans out of the stove ash before cooking the next meal and shook off the ash on the skin...
The pecans are toasted.
Hickory nuts are not specially bred paper walnuts.
Its shell is extremely hard and thick. The meat is very astringent when eaten raw, but it becomes very fragrant and slightly sweet when roasted. It has a strong smell of fat and is extremely delicious.
The disadvantage is that it is too difficult to open the shell.
After opening the shell, it is difficult to take out the meat.
After taking out the meat, the shell residue can easily mix into the meat.
If you take a bite, the hard residue can knock out a tooth!
But, it is so fragrant, crispy and delicious.
So Yao Meiyu and Lin Lin, out of greed, came up with a good idea to break the shell and get the meat.
The two of them asked Su Tianli to move a chair, and they placed four roasted walnuts under the four wooden legs of the chair, and then put a piece of paper under the walnuts, and then asked Su Tianli to sit on the chair...
In this way, Su Tianli's weight can crush these four walnuts.
The girls then move the chairs out, shake off the hard shells, and they can eat the crispy and delicious walnut meat!
only--
This time the hickory nuts were too hard, and even after Su Tianli sat down hard on the chair, she couldn't crush them!
Yao Meiyu looked at Su Tianli with disdain, "With your flabby figure! Get out of the way! Let me do it..."
With a squeak,
Sister Tang pushed the door open and walked in.
Seeing the girls laughing and making a fuss,
Sister Tang also laughed and said, "Xiao Su, come out for a moment."
Su Tianli followed Sister Tang out, "What's the matter, Sister Tang?"
Sister Tang said, "There is someone who... specifically wants to see you."
Su Tianli was stunned.
Sister Tang said, "She seems to be very polite, so she shouldn't be a bad person. You can go and have a look!"
Su Tianli walked to the emergency department and found out that the person who came was Xu Jiaxi.
"Comrade Xiao Su?" It was obvious that Xu Jiaxi was very happy. "We finally meet again."
Su Tianli: ...
She didn't quite understand.
It was obvious that she and Xu Jiaxi had only met once, so it couldn't be said that they were that close.
Why did Xu Jiaxi look so happy when he saw her, as if he had finally found rain after a long drought, or as if he had met an old friend in a foreign land?
Xu Jiaxi was accompanied by a middle-aged woman in simple clothes.
Seeing Su Tianli coming, Xu Jiaxi glanced at the middle-aged woman.
The middle-aged woman went out.
He also took Sister Tang away.
Su Tianli looked at Xu Jiaxi, "Aunt Xu, I'm at work now."
She hoped Xu Jiaxi could understand what she meant: don't come here to disturb her at work.
Xu Jiaxi should have understood.
Because she immediately said, "I'm sorry..."
"I just... want to see you again for a special reason," Xu Jiaxi smiled apologetically, "Strictly speaking, I'm not disturbing you."
"I'm here to consult...to consult you about something." Xu Jiaxi said.
Su Tianli: "Please speak."
Xu Jiaxi, "Do you know how to treat insomnia?"
Su Tianli, "I don't know. I'm just a nurse, not a doctor. You'd better go to the provincial hospital. We are a health center and may not have the conditions."
Xu Jiaxi chuckled.
In her opinion, Su Tianli was so cute when she explained to her seriously.
Xu Jiaxi said softly: "Comrade Xiao Su, I have severe insomnia for many years... Can you understand how painful insomnia is?"
Su Tianli shook her head.
Can't understand.
She never suffered from insomnia.
Because since she was a child, she has been exhausted every day.
Before she was seven years old, she and her third sister stayed in their hometown. Her third uncle looked at them with disdain, and her third aunt slammed doors and bowls at home all day long, making indirect accusations...
Coupled with the deliberate guidance of Mrs. Su,
Su Tianli knew that she had to help with housework since she was a child.
When I returned to Guangzhou at the age of seven, I had to take care of my studies and the livelihood of my family at a young age. I had to work until the early morning every day and get up before dawn...
At the age of 17, she went to the Northwest, and from then on she no longer had to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation, but the pressure from work was particularly great - she was responsible for the medical care of three farms and four or five nearby natural villages. The work of epidemic prevention alone consumed too much of her energy.
Now that she has returned to the city, she still can't stop - she has to run the night market business, study, and take care of her friends' studies...
She could almost fall asleep.
I just don’t get enough sleep and have to take a nap at noon.
How can you possibly experience what it feels like to suffer from insomnia?
Xu Jiaxi sighed softly, "Insomnia is painful."
After a pause, she said softly, "But what's surprising is that after I saw you at the Municipal People's Hospital last time, my insomnia suddenly improved!"
Su Tianli: ???
Xu Jiaxi added: "Of course, it only worked for a few days... and then it slowly lost its effect again."
"However, after you asked someone to bring me some red bean paste dumplings, I seem to be able to fall asleep smoothly again."
"Thank you, Comrade Xiao Su," Xu Jiaxi said seriously, "The red bean paste dumplings are delicious."
Su Tianli suddenly realized, "Oh, so that's how it is! Aunt Xu, thank you for your love."
"Actually, you don't have to come to me yourself. Just ask someone to pass on a message to me."
"The red bean paste dumplings were made by my grandma..."
"How about this, I'll ask my grandma to make it again in a few days, and then I'll give you another one."
That being said,
Su Tianli still finds it magical - it turns out that red bean paste dumplings can cure insomnia?
How come she hasn't heard of it!
Could it be that I consumed too much carbohydrates and got carbon dizzy?
Xu Jiaxi was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "No, Comrade Xiao Su, you misunderstood me. It wasn't the red bean paste dumplings that cured my insomnia, but you."
Su Tianli waited for a while.
She thought Xu Jiaxi hadn’t finished speaking yet, and would add “your XX” at the end…
It was not until Xu Jiaxi paused for a long time that Su Tianli realized that Xu Jiaxi had finished speaking.
so? ? ?
Su Tianli was even more confused.
Xu Jiaxi stood up with a smile, "Thank you, Comrade Xiao Su, I'm leaving now. I'm very happy to meet you today and to have a few words with you. Goodbye."
Su Tianli looked at Xu Jiaxi blankly.
Xu Jiaxi looked at her confused expression and chuckled again.
But Xu Jiaxi turned and left.
Su Tianli could understand what Xu Jiaxi meant - Xu Jiaxi suffered from severe insomnia, and she, Su Tianli, had become Xu Jiaxi's medicine.
As long as Xu Jiaxi saw her, or got something related to her...
Xu Jiaxi can sleep well.
But--
why???
She is not related to Xu Jiaxi.
Su Tianli couldn't figure it out.
Xu Jiaxi had already left the clinic in a happy mood.
She returned to the chemical plant.
Xu Jiaxi returned to the chemical plant’s family compound.
However, she did not go through the main gate, but a remote small door.
After entering the family compound and taking a few steps,
Xu Jiaxi saw a familiar figure.
A handsome young man in washed-out blue work pants was walking slowly and tiredly towards the gate of the family compound.
He was staggering, shirtless, with his sweatshirt thrown over his shoulders, revealing his fair and lean body...
Yes,
This handsome young man is Cheng Yu.
As soon as Xu Jiaxi saw Cheng Yu's profile, a look of disgust immediately appeared in his eyes.
She clenched her hands into fists and prepared to wait for a while.
Wait until Cheng Yu leaves before walking over.
Unexpectedly, she suddenly saw the young man's spirit perk up, and his steps, which had originally seemed a little tapping due to fatigue, suddenly became powerful and fast...
She also saw the young man quickly take the sweatshirt that was thrown on his shoulders and put it on in no time!
She also heard the young man call out "Uncle Jun"...
Xu Jiaxi couldn't help but feel a little strange.
——She knew about Cheng Yu’s experience of becoming a homeless due to an injury some time ago.
She also knew that Cheng Yu was a loner and always kept to himself.
So, what did Cheng Yu mean by “Uncle Jun”?
Xu Jiaxi couldn't help but follow.
It turned out that Cheng Yu saw Su Tianli's father Su Dejun.
Su Dejun had just returned from the vegetable garden, carrying a hoe with a net bag of vegetables hanging on the hoe, probably preparing to go home to cook.
After being stopped by Cheng Yu,
Su Dejun asked him, "Xiao Cheng? What are you doing here?"
Cheng Yu smiled and said, "Uncle Jun, I'm working as a temporary worker in the factory now."
Su Dejun was a little unhappy when he heard this. "Why do you come here to work when Lizhi is so busy?"
Cheng Yu immediately said, "Don't worry, Uncle Jun. I won't delay the matter of litchi."
Su Dejun asked again, "Where are you going now?"
Cheng Yu replied: "I will go to the health center to find Litchi first, and then go back with her."
When Su Dejun heard that Cheng Yu was going to the health center to find lychees?
He was so happy that he immediately said, "Xiao Cheng, wait here for a while! Don't go away, I'll be back soon!"
After saying that, Su Dejun spread his legs and turned to run towards the vegetable garden.
Cheng Yu looked at the background where Su Dejun was running wildly and laughed.
——In fact, it’s still early now, he can take the bus back to his home on Shaou Street.
However, Cheng Yu knew clearly in his mind that once he went to the health center to look for Litchi, Yao Meiyu would not go to Shaou Street when she saw that Litchi would have someone to accompany her. She would go back to her home.
In this way, Cheng Yu could at least use the excuse of riding on Lizhi's bicycle to spend 45 minutes alone with her.
Cheng Yu sat on the flower bed nearby, looked around, picked up a leaf from the weeds in the flower bed, wiped it casually, and put it in his mouth.
He was probably tired from working, so he sat on the flower bed and stretched his long arms and legs, then leaned lazily against the tree trunk in the most leisurely posture.
Xu Jiaxi, who was not far away, was suddenly stunned.
Deep in her memory,
It seems that there is also a person who, when extremely tired, will stretch without caring about his image, or will lean against the tree trunk lazily, sitting casually and lazily...
moment--
Su Dejun came over breathlessly and handed Cheng Yu a bag of vegetables. "Xiao Cheng, take this to Litchi. I just picked it from the vegetable garden. Litchi likes to eat this cabbage. The beans are also growing well... There are also a few tomatoes. The reddest one was eaten by a bird. These ones look half green and half red. Let her keep them for a few days before eating them."
Cheng Yu had already returned to his well-behaved and proper appearance.
As Su Dejun spoke, Cheng Yu nodded.
Finally, Su Dejun instructed him, "Please tell Lizhi that I had an appointment with her to get medicine tomorrow, but I still have a few days' supply of medicine. I will go get it after I finish taking it. Tell her not to spend money."
Cheng Yu smiled and said "OK".
After Su Dejun finished his lengthy explanation, Cheng Yu watched Su Dejun leave and left with a smile on his face, carrying the heavy bag of vegetables.
Xu Jiaxi fell into a daze.
Of course she had been with Cheng Yu.
——Ever since the baby-swapping incident, He Jingdong asked Cheng Yu to resign from the machinery factory and come to the chemical plant.
However, Cheng Yu lived and ate with the temporary workers in the factory.
He Jingdong did not allow Cheng Yu to eat and live at his home.
Xu Jiaxi also went to see Cheng Yu several times - Cheng Yu's appearance inherited at least 80% of her looks and temperament.
The other two points were inherited from He Jingdong, which made Xu Jiaxi unhappy.
Because of this, Xu Jiaxi didn't want to see Cheng Yu.
She felt that her family was indifferent.
If you think you don't like each other, just have less contact with each other.
It was not until now that Xu Jiaxi realized that Cheng Yu probably didn't like her and He Jingdong very much either.
So when he saw her or He Jingdong, Cheng Yu had no expression on his face and seemed very indifferent.
In his behavior, he also appeared very reserved and dull.
Like a puppet,
Completely soulless.
But, from what I just saw—
Obviously this guy will be lazy when he is tired,
But in front of Lizhi's father, he pays close attention to his image, tries hard to act like a good young man, and smiles very sweetly!
Isn't this a very smart person?
Xu Jiaxi was stunned for a long while.
She felt that she was becoming more and more interested in Su Tianli.
How did Su Tianli make everyone revolve around her and be willing to be nice to her?
But Cheng Yu carried the bag of vegetables and walked to the health center under the scorching sun.
When Yao Meiyu saw him, her face was full of disgust, "Hey, you're sweating!"
Cheng Yu's face suddenly turned red and he looked at Su Tianli anxiously, afraid that Su Tianli also disliked him.
Su Tianli looked at her watch - it's past two in the afternoon? !
She went to get her spare nurse's gown and handed it to Cheng Yu, "Go get some water, go to the toilet and wash yourself, then put on my gown, and then wash your top as well, and dry it out. The sun is strong now, it will be completely dry in a while."
Cheng Yu obeyed the instructions and left holding the nurse's gown.
After a while, he wiped off the sweat on his body, changed into a loose nurse's gown, washed his undershirt, and hung it out in the sun.
Then--
Cheng Yu heard Yao Meiyu whispering to Su Tianli, "Lizhi, look at Cheng Yu! He's wearing your robe... He looks like a woman!"
Cheng Yu was startled.
Some people have said before that he looks like a girl.
Some people even laughed at his mother, calling her a bunny, a sissy, a dead eunuch, etc.
Cheng Yu mostly sneered,
Unless the other party is making dirty jokes...
He would beat the other person until his face was bruised and black.
After seeing his strength, the other party naturally dared not talk about him or spread rumors about him anymore.
but!
Now Cheng Yu cares a lot about Lizhi's opinion.
——Could it be that she also thinks he is effeminate?
really,
Yao Meiyu said this,
Lizhi's gaze swept towards Cheng Yu!
At this moment, Cheng Yu was very panicked.
He didn't know what expression to use to show that he was particularly masculine...
Then, Cheng Yu suddenly noticed that Lizhi's eyes were evasive.
She quickly withdrew her attention from him and said to Yao Meiyu in a calm tone: "What nonsense are you talking about? How can he look like a woman?"
That damn girl Yao Meiyu was still talking, "I think he looks like him, except that he's bald now! If his hair was a little longer...tsk tsk, his skin is so white and delicate, and his facial features are more delicate than a girl's...then he looks even more like her!"
The damn girl's words made Cheng Yu so angry that he was fuming!
He was really afraid that Litchi would think so...
soon,
Cheng Yu heard Lizhi's response, "No, I think he is very handsome."
In an instant, Cheng Yu's whole body stiffened.
Lizhi's praise made him feel shy, happy, excited and inferior.
He was glad that he was finally worthy of Lizhi's love - even though it was his appearance.
He felt extremely inferior because he only had this face... and it could still attract Lizhi's attention.
Finally, Cheng Yu bravely looked at Litchi.
After a while, Lizhi followed his gaze and looked over here.
Cheng Yu forced himself to suppress the heat and shyness that was rushing to his ears, and smiled at Lizhi.
Then--
He saw Lizhi staring at the corner of his mouth in a trance, and his face suddenly turned red!
Cheng Yu was stunned, as if he understood something.
He looked away, lowered his head, and laughed secretly.
Just at this moment, someone suddenly rushed in from outside, "Lychee? Su Tianli!"
Is it a man???
Hmm, this guy’s voice sounds familiar, and he’s calling Lizhi by her nickname?
Cheng Yu was startled and recognized who this man was - Fu Yan!
Cheng Yu was so angry that he immediately tore off his white robe - he didn't want to be mistaken for a woman by Fu Yan!
Cheng Yu walked over angrily and wanted to take his sweatshirt.
At this moment, Su Tianli also felt that it was not good to leave Cheng Yu's clothes hanging here with so many people coming and going!
She wanted to move his clothes to the backyard.
In this way, Su Tianli and Cheng Yu came together.
This scene fell into the eyes of Fu Yan who had just rushed into the hospital.
It became a picture of Su Tianli and a naked man together.
Fu Yan's eyes widened in shock, and he said with a glare on his face, "...Lychee!"
