After Xiao Subai went out, Mei Yingchun sat down close to Liu Gen, opened the plastic bag on the coffee table, and said with a smile: "If Professor Xiao's family has any good things, he will never forget me."
Liu Gen no longer drank the soup with a spoon. He was not used to this civilized way of eating. Instead, he held the bowl with both hands and blew the hot soup in the bowl with his mouth. He blew a few mouthfuls and took a sip. Drinking like this was very useful in his hometown.
The feeling of drinking mutton soup in a sea bowl.
"Teacher Mei, are you familiar with Professor Xiao's family?" Liu Gen asked.
"Well, his house is right across the street." Mei Yingchun replied, putting the walnut in her mouth, cracking it, and peeling the skin with her hands: "This walnut looks like it has just been picked from the tree, it is still wet."
Liu Gen stopped asking and drank the chicken soup, feeling much more comfortable in his stomach.
Mei Yingchun peeled the walnuts and ate them, then asked casually: "How did you and Su Su know each other?"
"Oh, one time when we were eating in the cafeteria, I accidentally spilled the soup from the lunch box on her." Liu Gen actually didn't know Xiao Subai's name at that time, but only later heard about it from Li Chengzai and others.
"Very beautiful?" Mei Yingchun glanced at Liu Gen and suddenly asked.
"Ah..." Liu Gen didn't expect that Mei Yingchun would ask this suddenly, and he was burned by the chicken soup.
"Susu inherited her mother's surname, and she is very beautiful." Mei Yingchun continued: "Her mother is a doctor at our school's dental hospital, and her surname is Bai. Susu took the surnames of Professor Xiao and Teacher Bai, adding hers in the middle.
Nickname, their family is always laughing and laughing. You have also listened to Professor Xiao's class, isn't it very humorous? Teacher Bai can play and sing. Every weekend or holiday, the piano and singing are always heard in the house."
"I like Professor Xiao's class very much." Liu Gen finished the soup in the bowl and put down the bowl while Mei Yingchun was talking.
"Shall I serve you another bowl?" Mei Yingchun said as she picked up the bowl.
"Don't drink anymore. You might feel uncomfortable if you drink too much." Liu Gen was not being polite. He really didn't dare to drink too much.
"That's right, let's take a break before drinking." Mei Yingchun handed the peeled walnut kernels to Liu Gen. Liu Gen didn't want it, so she didn't force it, and continued to tell Liu Gen about Professor Xiao's family:
"Professor Xiao comes from a medical family. Several generations of his ancestors have been famous Chinese medicine doctors in the South China Sea. His grandfather was a doctor of medicine who studied abroad. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, his grandfather returned from abroad and joined the Anti-Japanese War. He was a military doctor in the national army and did not die among the Japanese.
Under gunfire, he died in the War of Liberation... Professor Xiao's father was also a graduate of our school and a very famous surgeon. However, at that time, because Professor Xiao's grandfather had been a military doctor in the National Army, he was also involved.
Classified as a petty bourgeoisie, he was knocked down. Unable to bear the humiliation and torture, he committed suicide while in detention. All his family properties were publicized... Professor Xiao followed his mother and became homeless, so he had to live on the streets and was whitewashed.
He was taken in by his family and was able to survive... Professor Xiao was not even qualified to go to school when he was a child. In that era, only the children of poor lower-middle farmers and the working class had the right to education. Professor Xiao was both a descendant of a national military medical officer and a child.
As a successor of the bourgeoisie, people like him would certainly not be educated to prevent them from becoming masters, but his mother and Professor Bai of Nanhai University taught him... After the college entrance examination was resumed, Professor Bai, for the sake of Professor Xiao's future,
I asked him to change his surname to Bai so that he could register and take the college entrance examination. He was admitted to our university with the best score at that time. After graduation, he changed his name when he went to Japan to study at Waseda University School of Medicine. It is said that he studied in Japan.
During this period, his grades were very good. Waseda University wanted to keep him as a teacher at the school, but he returned to China to teach at his alma mater... Professor Xiao's character and knowledge are among the best in the entire Nanhai Medical University..."
Mei Yingchun, whether intentionally or unintentionally, told Liu Gen in detail what she knew about Xiao Xiao's past hardships.
Listening to Mei Yingchun's narration about Professor Xiao's life experience, Liu Gen was even more filled with respect for Xiao Xiao. It turned out that he was in more troubles than he was now. What could be more tragic than a family being destroyed, and what could be more tragic than being deprived of the right to education.
What is infuriating is that compared with such a respectable person, think about the little difficulty that I am encountering now and being plotted against, and it is nothing!
The midday news was being broadcast on the TV, which was nothing more than some tribute celebrations held in various places for the 50th anniversary of the National Day. Mei Yingchun felt that it was not interesting, so she changed several channels, all of which were replays or broadcasts of the National Day military parade to show military might.
The country's prestige seems to be prosperous.
Neither of them mentioned what happened last night, and Liu Gen no longer felt shy. He had another kind of emotion towards Mei Yingchun, which was family affection without distance, as if she was a big sister who knew how to take care of her younger brother.
teacher.
Yanagi's withdrawal symptoms were no longer as severe as yesterday and the day before yesterday. Perhaps the interval between attacks had lengthened and the attack had not yet occurred. However, he felt as if the devil had sucked away the strength from his body and he could not lift his spirits.
Mei Yingchun looked very comfortable and happy. The smile on her face was filled with warm love and her face was radiant. The faint freckles on both sides of her nose were no longer so obvious. There was always a smile between her eyebrows and eyes.
There is a kind of reserve and shyness unique to women.
Xiangzi came here after one o'clock. He heard that there was chicken to eat. He had already had lunch and sat down at the table without any ceremony.
"Brother Gen, you look much better today than yesterday." Xiangzi chewed the chicken and looked at Liu Gen and said.
Liu Gen drank another bowl of chicken soup and ate half a bowl of rice.
"Yes, I feel much better too. I should be able to recover in another three or two days." Liu Gen glanced at Mei Yingchun.
Mei Yingchun said with a smile: "The main reason is that your body is relatively strong and has strong resistance. However, there may be some recurrences. There will be withdrawal symptoms in the past few days, but they should not be as obvious as the previous two days."
After lunch, Mei Yingchun went out to buy groceries. Xiangzi finished washing the dishes and sat in the living room with Liu Gen to talk.
"Brother Gen, I have something to tell you." Xiangzi said hesitantly.
"What's the matter?" Liu Gen saw something extra in Xiangzi's eyes. He didn't know what it meant, but he felt that Xiangzi seemed to have changed.
"I...hehe...Qiu Ye and I...that..." Xiangzi stammered, and finally said loudly: "I slept with her."
"Oh..." Liu Gen said "oh" calmly, without feeling much surprise.
"I want to be good with Qiu Ye." Xiangzi said again.
Liu Gen still said "oh".
"But last night, she didn't go to work. I haven't seen her all day and night."
"oh……"
"Oh! Brother Gen, don't be so rude all the time! Aren't you surprised at all?" Xiangzi was anxious. He thought that telling Liu Gen about this would lead to scolding or teasing, but unexpectedly Liu Gen was very calm.
, said nothing.
"I'm not surprised." Liu Gen smiled and said, "This is a good thing. Do you still want me to celebrate for you that you finally lost your virginity?" Liu Gen understood in his heart that Xiangzi's change was due to his current situation.
Has become a man.
"Brother Gen, do you think Qiu Ye and I are suitable?" Xiangzi asked.
Yanagen thought about Qiu Ye's initiative to devote himself to him, and wondered whether Qiu Ye was doing the same thing to Xiangzi as he was to repay his kindness?
"I think you shouldn't ask me this." Liu Gen said.
"In the South China Sea, who do you want me to ask?"
"Ask Qiu Ye."
"I wanted to talk to her, but she seemed to be avoiding me intentionally and couldn't even see anyone."
"Maybe Qiu Ye is thinking about this just like you." After Liu Gen finished speaking, he looked at Xiangzi and asked, "You don't want Ice Beauty now?"
"She..." Xiangzi smiled bitterly: "You are right, maybe she has been in love with her for a long time. Besides, I am sleeping with Qiu Ye now, how can I be irresponsible and think about other women."
Xiangzi's words expressed what Liu Gen was thinking. He was also worried about whether he should be responsible for Mei Yingchun and whether he should continue to associate with Ouyang Xue.
"Did Ouyang Xue call again?"
"Yes, I called countless pages last night. I came back to the dormitory at noon today, and Liu Jun said that she also called the dormitory." Xiangzi replied, as if he remembered something, took out the pager and said: "There was a pager in the morning.
The page seems to be from a mobile phone. I didn't reply. Do you recognize me?" He handed the pager to Liu Gen.
Liu Gen took it and took a look. It was a call made at about ten o'clock this morning, not a landline number: "I don't recognize it."
Xiangzi reminded Liu Gen: "Could it be Xia Yang who hit me?"
"It's possible, you can reply." Liu Gen said, looking at the telephone on a square stool next to the sofa.
"Hey..." Xiangzi took the pager, dialed the number on it, and pressed the hands-free button.
After the call was connected, the other party was a man and asked: "Who is this?"
"It was around ten o'clock in the morning, was it you who called me?" Xiangzi asked.
"What's your pager number?" the other party asked.
Xiangzi told the other party the pager number.
"Are you Liu Gen?" the other party immediately asked enthusiastically.
"No, I'm Brother Gen's friend." Xiangzi replied and glanced at Liu Gen: "What do you want from Brother Gen?"
"Is Liu Gen with you? Can you ask him to answer the phone?"
Liu Gen coughed lightly: "I am Liu Gen, please, who are you?"
"Hello, Liu Gen, I'm from Jiahe Company. We met in the hospital. You may not remember." The other party said politely: "That's it, our Mr. Li, the person you saved last time,
I wanted to see you, so I had to find you, so I asked the nurse station and found out your paging number... Do you have time now?"
Liu Gen thought to himself, maybe they wanted to thank him, but he never thought of asking others to thank him. Besides, they also gave him a lot of money for the blood transfusion.
"I..." Liu Gen hesitated.
Xiangzi heard that it was Liu Gen and the person he had saved last time, and from the other person's words, he sounded like a company boss, so he quickly answered for Liu Gen: "Brother Gen has time!"
Liu Gen glared at Xiangzi and then asked: "Excuse me, why does Mr. Li want to see me?"
"It's nothing. The main thing is that Mr. Li wants to see what the person who saved his life looks like. If you have time, please come to the inpatient surgery department of the Affiliated Hospital of Nanhai Medical University. You can do it anytime. Mr. Li lives there.
In ward 708, please be sure to comply with Mr. Li's request. He is still very weak and has just lost his wife and child, so..."
"I understand. I will visit you, Mr. Li, around four or five in the afternoon." Liu Gen heard what the other party said and decided to go see him. It was not for any reason, just to satisfy a patient's small request.
"Thank you so much. I will convey this news to Mr. Li himself. He will definitely be very happy." The other party said excitedly.
