Peng Yuanzheng slowly entered the hospital and went up to the third floor.
Because it was night, the corridor of the ward was very quiet and quiet, and the light was dim. Only the nurse's station was very bright, and the whispers of several female nurses could be faintly heard.
Peng Yuanzheng walked gently over, and a female nurse he knew looked up and saw him. She couldn't help but get up and said "Hey", "Why are you here? The patient's mood has been fluctuating in the past two days. Hurry over and take a look."
Well, the patient is not asleep yet."
Peng Yuanzheng smiled awkwardly, "I'm sorry, comrade nurse, I've been very busy at work these two days and can't spare any time."
The nurse wanted to say a few words, but was pulled by another nurse on duty. She lowered her voice and said, "Xiaomei, stop talking. This is actually not the patient's real boyfriend, but the patient's crush, right?"
, he is also the executive deputy county magistrate in charge of work in a neighboring county, so it is understandable that he is busy with work."
The nurse was surprised: "It's not your boyfriend - ah, or the county magistrate? Such a big official! Tsk tsk, so young!"
"That's the youngest county magistrate in the city. He's young and promising, talented and good-looking, but it's a pity that he's already married..."
Two young female nurses were muttering in a low voice. Peng Yuanzheng pretended not to hear and walked to the ward where Cao Ying was. The door of the ward was ajar, so he slowly pushed it open and walked in.
Liu Fang was talking to Cao Ying, while Cao Ying was holding a newspaper with her face pale and bored, her eyes slightly closed.
"Ah, the expedition is coming!" Liu Fang was surprised and happy, and stood up quickly.
Cao Ying's shoulders were shaken, and she suddenly opened her eyes. She said softly with joy and resentment: "Yuanzheng, why did you come here? I haven't seen you for several days!"
Peng Yuanzheng strode over and smiled: "Xiaoying, I have been too busy with work in the county these past two days. I have been working overtime every day and have been living and eating in the county. Today I will lead a team to follow
The city gas company discussed cooperation, but did not return to the county. Are you feeling better recently? What did the doctor say? "
"Just make do with it." Cao Ying pouted, "Your leaders are too shameless. How can they make you work overtime every day? Are you being bullied by the agency because you are a newcomer who has just graduated and joined the workforce?"
When Peng Yuanzheng heard this, the smile on his face froze, and then he laughed again. "Our leaders are very good, and my colleagues also take good care of me. It's just that there are many things in our county recently that require me to do the work that no one else can do."
.”
"Yuanzheng, have you eaten?" Liu Fang asked with a smile, and quickly changed the sensitive topic of Cao Ying. If Peng Yuanzheng spilled the beans and then tried to cover up the lie, he would be in big trouble.
"I had something to eat on the way, haha. I'll stay with Xiaoying in the hospital tonight. Auntie, you go back and have a rest." Peng Yuanzheng smiled and sat down.
Liu Fang shook her head in panic and said: "Expedition. You have been busy with work all day, and staying up all night in the hospital is not good for your health. You should stay and chat with Xiaoying, and then go back to sleep as soon as you are done."
Cao Ying also smiled and echoed: "Yes, Yuanzheng. You talk to me and then go back to sleep. It will hurt your body if you stay up late after working all day. My mother is here, you can share a bed with me and get lost.
.”
Although Cao Ying was reluctant to let Peng Yuanzheng leave, she was more concerned about Peng Yuanzheng's health.
Peng Yuanzheng sighed inwardly and stopped insisting. He was really exhausted after a busy day. If he stayed up late again, he would probably lie down tomorrow.
While talking, Liu Fang took the initiative to leave the ward with an excuse, leaving her daughter to be alone with Peng Yuanzheng. In fact, her heart was full of sourness and helplessness. The more this went on, the deeper her daughter would sink, and the harder it would be to end it in the future——
But otherwise, what can we do? We can only take one step at a time.
Liu Fang leaned against the wall of the corridor and let out a weak sigh.
…
Peng Yuanzheng stayed with Cao Ying in the hospital until 11 o'clock in the night, and then went home to rest at Cao Ying's urging. The next morning, in accordance with the agreement with Cao Ying, he bought Cao Ying her favorite fried fruits.
and fresh soy milk, and took it to the hospital.
As soon as he entered the ward, he heard a surprised call from the door of the ward: "County Magistrate Peng? Why are you in the hospital?"
Peng Yuanzheng's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly thought something bad. He immediately raised his head and looked around, and saw Zhiling, the newly promoted deputy director of the county office, standing at the door with a basket of fruit in his hand, looking at him with a surprised look on his face.
Peng Yuanzheng forced a smile and was about to stand up and signal her to exit quickly, but Zhiling didn't know the subtle joints involved. At this time, he had already walked in and said with a respectful smile: "County Chief Peng, are you seeing a patient? This is...
"
Zhiling looked at Liu Fang beside the bed and Cao Ying lying on the hospital bed in surprise.
Peng Yuanzheng walked over awkwardly, said something vague, and secretly winked at Zhiling. Zhiling followed Peng Yuanzheng out of the ward inexplicably. Peng Yuanzheng closed the ward door tightly and lowered his voice: "My friend is in the hospital.
Let me see, what are you doing here?"
"Leader, I..." Zhiling blushed and said coyly: "My future mother-in-law is in hospital, I'll come over and deliver some fruit."
Peng Yuanzheng said oh and waved his hand, "Go and hurry up. Say hello to the old man for me."
Zhiling saw that Peng Yuanzheng's expression was wrong. Although he was confused, he did not dare to ask any more questions. He agreed to leave quickly. However, at the end of the corridor, he still looked back a few times, still thinking in his mind, since
I met County Magistrate Peng’s friend who was hospitalized, so I thought I’d go buy some more things and come back to visit him.
In the ward, Cao Ying had a strange look on her face, looking straight at her mother Liu Fang, and the towel she was holding in her hand was scattered under the bed.
Liu Fang knew that her daughter had heard something was wrong, but she didn't know how to explain it to her daughter. She could only turn away in embarrassment, not daring to look into her daughter's suspicious and anxious eyes.
Peng Yuanzheng stood at the door and hesitated for a long time before gritting his teeth and pushing the door open again.
He smiled awkwardly and sat in front of Cao Ying's bed. Cao Ying grabbed his hand and asked eagerly: "Yuanzheng, who was that woman just now? Your colleague? Why did she call you County Magistrate Peng? Ah?"
What's going on?"
Peng Yuanzheng sighed. He knew that no matter how he explained, it would be difficult for Cao Ying to clear up his doubts. If he made up white lies again, it would definitely make Cao Ying more suspicious, and it would be difficult to justify himself if he was found guilty.
Thinking of this, he stared at Cao Ying resolutely and said softly: "Xiaoying, I am now the deputy county magistrate of the neighboring county. Just now that was Zhiling, the deputy director of the county office of the neighboring county."
Cao Ying exclaimed and subconsciously covered her lips with her hands.
Her memory stayed three years ago. In her memory, Peng Yuanzheng was just a new comrade who had just graduated from college and started working for less than a year. How could he suddenly become the deputy county magistrate? (To be continued...)
