After leaving the hospital, Li Mingqing originally wanted to go to the courtyard to take a look.
But it’s winter and it’s getting dark soon, so I’d better stay in the dormitory.
I had just taken two steps when I saw Ding Yi coming over.
"Why are you here?"
"I came to see you. If my father knew I wasn't a good host, he'd probably scold you. Besides, you've only been to the capital twice, and you don't know anyone here, so you don't know where to go."
"I'm planning to go back to where I live."
"Let's go eat first. I'll take you back later. The restaurant is right behind, quite close."
So the two of them went to the state-owned restaurant and ordered two plates of dumplings.
After finishing his meal, Li Mingqing thought for a moment and then asked, "Brother Ding, do you know anyone selling a house? If so, please tell me."
"Are you going to work in the military hospital?"
"No, just asking."
"You know where my house is. The other day, my neighbor said he wanted to sell his house. It's a two-story detached villa. If you want to buy it, I can ask around."
Detached house.
Li Mingqing thought about it and felt that the location was indeed good.
Just buy it if you have the money.
"Okay, please ask me roughly how much it costs. If you think it's suitable, I'll buy it."
"Are you planning to live in the capital in the future?"
"Buy them first. Don't wait until you have nowhere to live when you arrive. You can buy a few more."
Ding Yi finished eating the last dumpling and said, "The second floor is big enough for me to live in. Why buy so much before I get married? We'll talk about it later."
"The last time I went to your home in the county town for dinner, your old man sighed when he talked about you, but he didn't insist on urging you to get married. After all, you have a special job."
"Ding Shao has two children, and my father is not without grandchildren, so there is no need to rush."
He has never had much contact with women since he was a child, and he is afraid that he will be a bachelor for the rest of his life.
After coming out of the hotel, the two went their separate ways.
Lijia Village.
The people from the post office came to the village entrance on their bicycles.
He braved the cold wind and came before dark, because it was an urgent telegram, otherwise it would not be delivered until tomorrow noon at the latest.
"Auntie, is there anyone named Sun Jiaxue in your village?"
"See that brick house with the lights on? That's her home."
Sun Jiaxue was knitting a scarf with the light on when she heard a knock on the door.
Wangcai called out twice and stood in front of her.
"Wangcai, let's go out and take a look."
After opening the door, Wangcai rushed to her first, and the postman was shocked.
I often see wolfhounds when visiting neighbors, so I quickly calmed down.
Asked: "Are you Sun Jiaxue?"
"Yes, I am. What can I do for you?"
"I'm from the post office. This is an expedited telegram from the capital. You're the signatory."
As soon as she heard this, she knew it was Li Mingqing.
When Old Man Li and Old Lady Li heard the noise, they rushed out in a hurry, fearing that something might have happened to Sun Jiaxue.
"Jiaxue, what's wrong?"
"A telegram sent by Brother Mingqing."
"It looks like he's arrived safely. Good thing he's here. He'll be back in a week."
The postman, frozen, pulled his army green cotton coat closer and said, "Sign here."
Sun Jiaxue wrote her name very skillfully, and this was her first time signing so formally.
The postman gave her the telegram and rode away.
Old Lady Li said, "Jiaxue, I'll come to the new house to accompany you later."
After the old couple finished talking, they returned to their old house.
Sun Jiaxue unpacked the package as she walked into the house.
After reading the telegram, she blushed and felt extremely shy.
There were some characters she didn't know, and she was looking up how to pronounce them in the dictionary.
After watching it, I watched it again with great joy.
She folded it neatly and put it under her pillow.
She has been having a boring time at home these days.
Although the children, Old Lady Li and the three sisters-in-law would come to talk to her from time to time, she always felt empty in her heart.
I missed Li Mingqing so much that I couldn't sleep well.
——
At six o'clock the next morning.
Li Mingqing woke up before dawn.
I just can't sleep if I'm not hungry or cold. A golden or silver nest is not as good as my own doghouse.
No matter how comfortable your living place is, it is not as relaxing as home.
He lingered in bed for a while, then got up, washed, and prepared to go to the hospital cafeteria for dinner.
As soon as I arrived at the hospital entrance, I saw Guan Bin coming.
"Good morning, Doctor Li."
"Good morning, do you want to go to the cafeteria for breakfast?"
"Let's go together."
"Do you know what to do today?"
"It seems that it's our report presentation. Many directors of various departments at the Military District Hospital and the People's Hospital have come."
Li Mingqing almost vomited the porridge he had just drunk.
It’s such a big deal.
Guan Bin said, "Relax, your report is perfect. No one will question it. Some will definitely receive praise from the department heads."
"You better stop saying that."
"Don't be so modest. I really want you to be my teacher."
Sure enough, I was notified to go to the conference hall on the first floor at nine o'clock.
There were indeed nearly thirty people sitting below.
Li Mingqing took a quick look and found a conspicuous bag inside that was particularly obvious. Han Tiancai was sitting in the last row.
Zhao Wenshan said, "Doctor Li, could you please be the last one to go up? If you go first, we will be too embarrassed to talk."
"Yes, the contrast is too obvious."
"You did a great job reporting it. Don't be so self-deprecating."
Deng Junyuan said, "It's settled. The four of us will play rock-paper-scissors. Whoever wins first will go on stage first."
An hour and a half later, all four people finished their reports.
Only Li Mingqing was left to take the stage as the finale.
