The cold wave came again on Friday, and the lowest temperature in Binhai reached minus 6 degrees.
The sky was overcast and the north wind was blowing, but fortunately it didn't snow.
At nearly seven o'clock in the evening, Yu Zhiming finished a busy day of welfare physical examinations at the hospital and drove back to his residence in Zijinyuan.
As soon as he got out of the car, he felt the north wind like a knife, swishing into his clothes.
Yu Zhiming tightened his down jacket and put on his hat. He couldn't help but turn his head and look to the left.
In that direction, there was a sound of crying carried by the wind.
Yu Zhiming looked up, and with the help of the street lights in the community, he saw a girl leaning on a red Beetle three cars away, lowering her head and sobbing.
The girl's long flowing hair, long scarf around her neck, and pink windbreaker dance with the biting cold wind.
Through the windbreaker that he lifts up from time to time, Yu Zhiming can see a pair of straight long legs in stockings.
The combination of cold wind and stockings also reminds Yu Zhiming.
This girl is exactly the frozen beauty I met in the elevator last weekend, who is more elegant than warm.
It's such a cold day, and the clothes are so cool. Even if you don't go to your room to cry, it's better to cry in the car than to cry in the cold wind in the open.
Maybe, there is something wrong with the brain?
After making this judgment, Yu Zhiming felt a little colder. He picked up his briefcase and walked quickly towards Building No. 26, where the rental house was located.
As for the frozen beauty not far away, mental illness is not Yu Zhiming’s specialty.
Moreover, he is not good at explaining his worries, so he can only keep a respectful distance and let enthusiastic people deal with it...
Finally returning to his residence on the eleventh floor of the top floor, Yu Zhiming felt an abundant warmth wrap around his body.
"Uncle!"
"Uncle, you are back!"
Yu Zhiming threw his briefcase and down jacket to Xiaoxue and Zeng Yan, who greeted them enthusiastically. Following the scent, he saw that the dining table was already filled with food.
Today is the Yu family’s routine family gathering.
This time, they did not go to a restaurant outside, but chose to make their own food and clothing at home.
The main course is a peacock, several turtle doves, and a soft-shell turtle given by Ding Ye that a patient thanked a few days ago.
The eldest brother-in-law and Fu Xiaobo did not come to the party today.
The eldest brother-in-law has no time to come because he has to lead the workers to catch up on the renovation progress.
As for Fu Xiaobo, he made an appointment with Cao Yinyi to enjoy their world together...
Yu Zhiming sat down at the dining table, and the next moment his eyes were attracted by the large bowl of meat and vegetables in the center of the dining table.
"This is...braised peacock?"
Zhang Bo hummed and introduced: "This is my first time making this peacock, so I have no experience."
"Seeing that it looked similar to chicken, I made it according to the method of braised chicken nuggets."
At this time, Gu Qingning handed Yu Zhiming a bowl of soup.
"Zhiming, Turtle Dove and Turtle Turtle Soup, I've been stewing it for more than two hours. Take a few sips to warm it up."
Yu Zhiming tasted the soup, nodded gently and said: "This soup is delicious and delicious, very good."
"Let's eat..."
Yu Zhiming picked up a piece of peacock meat and ate it.
Well, the meat is firmer and rougher than chicken, and the taste is similar to chicken.
Third sister Yu Xinyue drank turtle dove soup and tasted peacock meat, and said: "Lao Wu, my parents asked me to tell you not to buy them some weird food."
"I can't get used to it, but it's expensive. I couldn't even get used to the caviar I brought back last time."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said: "The main thing is to let parents have a taste, not to let them eat it often."
After a pause, he confessed: "Third Sister, take the peacock, turtledove and turtle back tomorrow."
"My parents should be able to get used to eating these three things."
Yu Xinyue nodded in response and asked again: "Lao Wu, the ginseng and American ginseng that others want?"
Yu Zhiming said: "It's ready. In my briefcase, there are twenty ginseng trees and five hundred grams of American ginseng."
He added: "The money from the sale will be kept by my parents for New Year expenses and to buy more New Year goods."
Yu Xinyue chuckled and said: "Zhang Bai and Qing Ning are both going home this year, and my parents have been preparing New Year's goods for a long time."
"I guarantee that during the New Year days, there will be a big meal every day."
Yu Zhiming smiled and said: "My parents and eldest sister don't have to worry too much. They can't even eat a lot of fish and meat every day."
Yu Xinyue glanced at him sideways, revealing the truth and said: "And when, fifth brother, you can't eat anything?"
"You have always been the one cleaning the battlefield."
Amidst the laughter, Gu Qingning said proudly: "Zhiming, Zhiming, wild ginseng, I asked about it."
"My third grandfather has one in his collection, and it is said that it is eighty years old."
Yu Zhiming asked: "Is Third Grandpa willing to transfer?"
Gu Qingning said with a smile: "Grandpa San is very interested in the ginseng life-sustaining pill and wants to talk to Dr. Wang face to face."
"Zhiming, please make an appointment with Dr. Wang. My third grandfather said that he is free this Sunday afternoon."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said: "Okay, I will contact Dr. Wang after dinner. He will definitely be happy to hear the news..."
The north wind is howling outside, and the house is as warm as spring.
The family is facing a table of sumptuous food, laughing and chatting while eating, very comfortable.
"Uncle, uncle..."
Fu Xiaoxue chirped: "We have final exams in the second week of January, and we will have a holiday after the exams."
"After the holiday, I will stay in Binhai for fun, and we will go back together after you have the holiday."
Yu Zhiming thought for a while and said: "You can play for two or three days before going back. It won't be necessary when we go back together during the holidays."
"Xiaoxue, go back early and help with the work at home."
Fu Xiaoxue pursed her lips and said: "How can there be any work at home? After I get home, I won't be able to sleep."
Yu Xinyue chuckled and said: "Xiaoxue, you can help your younger brothers and sisters with their homework after you go home."
Fu Xiaoxue shook her head like a rattle and said, "I won't do it. I'll give you tutoring. It's very irritating."
"Third Aunt, I won't hit you or scold you. It will hurt the relationship between me and my brothers and sisters."
Yu Xinyue criticized: "You guys, after you are admitted to college, you don't care about your younger brothers and sisters?"
"Have you forgotten how your uncle used to help you with your homework?"
Fu Xiaoxue hummed and said, "I have never forgotten that my uncle often knocked me on the head. On average, I hit five or six times a night."
"How can it be that exaggerated?"
Yu Zhiming defended himself: "Even if I hit you on the head, I would do it gently and not use any force..."
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Fu Xiaoxue rushed to open the door.
"Hello! Who are you looking for?"
"Hello, little sister, may I ask, is Dr. Yu here?"
Hearing this conversation, Yu Zhiming frowned.
It's the voice of that freezing beauty.
Fu Xiaoxue's voice then sounded, "Excuse me, beauty, what can I do for you? If you are seeking medical consultation, please go to the hospital."
"My brother-in-law doesn't pick up patients during off-duty hours."
"Little sister, can I see Dr. Yu? I have something to do and I need to talk to Dr. Yu in person."
At this time, Gu Qingning came to the door.
She first looked up and down at the woman standing outside the door, who looked pitiful and thinly dressed, and said lukewarmly: "Beauty, if you have anything to do, please tell me first."
The woman looked hesitant and said, "Well, I have a younger brother who is not in good health."
"Neighbors, I would like to ask Dr. Yu to help me check my brother's health."
Gu Qingning snorted and asked, "Has your brother been to the hospital for a checkup before? What did the doctor say?"
The woman smiled and said: "It's not a big problem, so I didn't take him to the hospital."
"Isn't it true that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors..."
After a pause, the woman turned around and said, "It seems that Dr. Yu is inconvenient, so I won't bother you."
After saying this, the woman turned around and entered the stairwell, and went downstairs through the stairs...
Gu Qingning and Fu Xiaoxue returned to the dining table and sat down.
Fu Xiaoxue couldn't help but said: "That woman was wearing a woolen windbreaker with a big V-neck, exposing a large part of her chest."
"Isn't she afraid of the cold?"
Gu Qingning hummed and said: "Xiaoxue, you don't understand. She is trying to seduce your uncle, and wants him to see a doctor out of lust and compassion."
Fu Xiaoxue snorted and said with a smile: "Aunt Ning, you can rest assured that my uncle is immune to this level of sexual temptation."
"When I was in the county town, there were several girls who wanted to cook rice for my brother-in-law..."
Hearing this, Yu Zhiming hurriedly coughed a few times to remind Xiaoxue not to talk nonsense.
Fu Xiaoxue smiled, picked up a piece of beef brisket, and stuffed it into his mouth.
After a while, Fu Xiaoxue suddenly thought of something, and quickly took a sip of soup and swallowed the food in his mouth.
"Aunt Ning, I feel that that woman may really not be afraid of the cold. I didn't notice goosebumps on her exposed chest skin."
"Moreover, just for a moment at the door, I shuddered twice, but the woman didn't seem to shudder at all."
"I didn't see her shrinking her body."
When Yu Zhiming heard what Xiaoxue said, he couldn't help but think of the scene in the community.
The woman's hair, scarf, and windbreaker were dancing in the cold wind.
It was such a cold north wind, but the woman seemed to be bathing in the warm wind of late spring, enjoying herself, and she really didn't show any physical signs of being afraid of the cold.
Is she really not afraid of the cold?
Yu Xiangwan guessed: "Maybe that woman's underwear is filled with warm babies, so she is not afraid of the cold."
Fu Xiaoxue said softly and looked at Yu Zhiming.
"Uncle, are there really people who are not afraid of the cold?"
Yu Zhiming pondered and said: "There are also people who are slow to perceive the cold and heat of the outside world and are insensitive to cold and heat."
He further explained: "Our sensations of hot and cold are induced by peripheral nerves on the body surface and conducted to the central nervous system."
"Some people may have neuropathy due to physiological factors or pathological factors and are no longer sensitive to hot and cold."
"Of course, long-term training and strong willpower can also make people not afraid of the cold."
"For example, many winter swimmers..."
As Yu Zhiming explained, he became somewhat interested in this woman.
He wants to find out.
Is she not afraid of the cold because of physical or pathological reasons, or is it because of life or personal reasons?
