Chapter 273: The Brothers Gather for a Drink
Zhang Yan came to drink today because he and Tong Mei took a leave of absence.
There is no need to prepare lessons tomorrow. The apprentices have two days off, and he can also take two days off.
So, I made an appointment with Chu Mingxing, Tian Haiming, and Duan Changan to come over for a drink and a chat.
"Brother Yan, why did you choose such a small restaurant?" Chu Mingxing asked as soon as he entered the door.
Chu Mingxing offended most of the people in the tavern just by entering the door.
These people have been drinking in the tavern for decades, and their affection for the tavern is no worse than that of the proprietress. They cannot tolerate others saying that the tavern is not good.
"I have no choice. I'm not as rich as you, Mr. Chu. I can't afford a big restaurant, so I can only treat guests in a small restaurant like this." Zhang Yan glared at him and then said.
"Everyone, this brother of mine never talks wisely. Don't be as knowledgeable as him." Tian Haiming, who walked in a little later, apologized to the landlady and the regular drinking customers with fists in his hands.
"Haha! Monkey, you said that you are also the deputy director of the grain station, but you are still so unreliable." Duan Changan also smiled and hit him.
"I said, you guys are almost done. Didn't I just say something that didn't make any sense?" Chu Mingxing also knew that what he just said was a bit offending.
But apologizing is not his style, he just gave himself an explanation.
"Brother Yan, why do you have time to come out for a drink today?" Duan Changan asked with a smile after sitting down.
Zhang Yan only told them to go out for a drink and didn't say anything.
That's it, brothers, you don't need any reason, just a word, go out and drink, that's enough.
"I won't be working tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I haven't had a drink together for a long time, so I asked you to come out and have a drink." Zhang Yan explained with a smile.
"Have you finished that Chinese medicine training class?" Tian Haiming asked with concern.
"No! The first phase is over and the internship will start the day after tomorrow."
"I think your teaching can be a model, a model of traditional Chinese medicine inheritance." Tian Haiming reminded.
"Come on! I'm almost exhausted from this class. Do you know how my brother spent this year?
I have to teach for six hours during the day, and I have to prepare lessons until eleven o'clock in the evening." Zhang Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head to reject Tian Haiming's kindness.
Tian Haiming has good intentions and is regarded as a model. Both his salary and level will be improved to a certain extent, and he will also receive a certificate.
However, Zhang Yan does not want to be this typical person.
It is now January of 1958, and although there is still nothing down there, the fights and disagreements above are getting more and more serious.
It is safest to stay at Red Star Hospital.
Therefore, Zhang Yan doesn't want to be a typical example, he just wants to be a doctor honestly.
"How is sister-in-law? I heard that sister-in-law is pregnant." Duan Changan asked.
"She is six months pregnant and her health is fine. With me as a doctor, she will naturally be in better health and eat delicious food."
"That's good. Brother Yan is going to be a father in a blink of an eye. Monkey, what's going on with you? You've been married for seven or eight months, right? Why hasn't your wife made any move yet?" Duan Changan looked at Chu Mingxing again and teased.
road.
"I think you are just worrying about whether my wife is pregnant or not. At least I have a wife. You and Lao Tian are still single." Chu Mingxing retorted.
After finishing, Chu Mingxing added, "By the way, I disappoint you, my wife is also pregnant, almost two months old."
While he was talking, the landlady came over with a dinner plate, put four side dishes on the table, and put down four pots of old wine.
"Doctor Zhang, and these three friends, please use it slowly." The proprietress said politely, then twisted her waist and returned to the bar.
Tian Haiming turned his head and took a look.
"Come on, brothers, let's have a drink first." Zhang Yan said as he poured himself some wine.
Chu Mingxing and the other two also picked up the wine bottles and poured themselves wine.
"Go one!"
After drinking a glass of wine, Zhang Yan looked at Duan Changan and Tian Haiming and asked with concern: "What's going on with you two? Why are you still single?"
"The two of them are too picky. The one on the left is not good, and the one on the right is not right." Chu Mingxing revealed the truth.
"We are still young, don't worry!" Duan Changan and Tian Haiming looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
This matter is really hard to explain.
Due to their background, they are not allowed to choose a partner by themselves, it is all arranged by their family.
However, for those arranged by the family, either they didn't like the other people, or the people didn't like them.
In fact, the most important thing is that the elders of both their families want to go up.
This is a bit troublesome. There are many people with higher status than their family, but not many have girls of the right age at home.
"Actually, our ancestors have always had a saying, which is very good. Marrying from the top to the bottom is a good relationship and is conducive to family harmony." Zhang Yan actually knew the situation of the two families to some extent, so he gave a reminder.
"Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. We are not in a hurry anyway. We have agreed that after your son is born, we will be godfathers." Tian Haiming changed the subject with a smile.
"Okay! No problem! I will continue to work hard and try to make you a godfather." Zhang Yan also said with a smile.
This was a topic we talked about in the army back then.
I don’t know how I brought it up, but I want to be the godfather of the other person’s son.
"Brother Yan, let's get married?" Chu Mingxing picked up the wine glass and approached Zhang Yan.
"Okay! I saw that your daughter is a girl who just happens to be my son's wife." Zhang Yan said with a smile.
"Go away, what are you looking at? My wife is only two months pregnant, and you already know that I have a daughter?" Chu Mingxing said unhappily.
"What's wrong? Are you wronged by asking your daughter to be my daughter-in-law?" Zhang Yan asked with a smile.
"Why can't it be your daughter and my son?" Chu Mingxing said very dissatisfied.
"Ah! There is no way to change this time. Just wait for the next one! Keep working hard for the next one." Zhang Yan said with a smile and a sip of wine.
"Monkey, don't believe it. I know that some powerful Chinese medicine doctors can tell whether a boy or a girl is a boy just by looking at them." Tian Haiming interjected from the side.
Tian Haiming works in the Ministry of Health and interacts with doctors all day long, so he still has some understanding of traditional Chinese medicine.
"Really?" Chu Mingxing asked in disbelief.
"Would you like to make a bet?" Zhang Yan said with a smile.
"What bet?"
"Let's bet on whether our child is a boy or a girl. If mine is a son and yours is a daughter, then you and I will get a ton of high-strength liquor." Zhang Yan said with a smile.
"No gambling! I am a good man and I will never gamble." Chu Mingxing simply refused.
