The small clinic is located at a crossroads a few communities away. It was here several years ago when this area was not yet developed. In recent years, with the development of the city, buildings with high land prices have been built around it, forming a large area.
Although the area is mainly residential, the surrounding area has not developed into a noisy and prosperous commercial street due to deliberate planning, but the first floors of each building are also decorated with beautifully decorated shops. It is considered a valuable land, and the intersection is a real
The small clinic covers an area of several hundred square meters and still stands in the shape of a bungalow among the surrounding buildings. It can really be regarded as a bit ostentatious and stands out from the crowd. Of course, perhaps the other way around would be more appropriate.
Although it has always been a one-story bungalow, the small clinic does not look rustic. After renovation a few years ago, it is already the most beautiful building in the neighborhood. The trees on the nearby sidewalk are already some old trees, and their crowns are
In the summer, a beautiful tree shade will be formed, integrating with the small clinic, with a low wall made of red and white mosaics, and a flower garden outside the clinic door. The design of the entire clinic is not overly ostentatious, and is generally boxy.
Square, but the side facing the street is a transparent floor-to-ceiling window, which is always clean, and the other side is the main entrance, windows, and walls painted in three colors: milky white, orange, and blue, giving people a sense of vitality and cheerfulness.
The small clinic blends into the surrounding vegetation, and there is a circle of transparent glass railings around the upper rooftop. This makes the rooftop more like a viewing platform. Sometimes doctors, nurses and their friends can be seen eating barbecue on it.
, sunbathing and the like. In a city where there is an increasing sense of alienation in the "steel forest", this small clinic like a secret garden originally probably only pursued a feeling similar to home or summer, but now it has
, but instead became increasingly isolated by the surrounding environment.
If it is the first time for people passing by this place, before paying attention to the sign of the clinic, they will probably think that this is a cafe or restaurant, or an elegant art store. For the owners of clinics with such a look and feel,
In addition to helplessness, you may also feel a little aggrieved. When you renovated it, you just pursued a natural feeling, but due to the changes in the surrounding environment, this feeling has become more acute. And even if you notice the sign of the clinic, people's
At first impression, most people will think of it as an expensive dental clinic, but this is not even a dental clinic. It is just similar to a small clinic run by some doctors in some old family areas, and the charges are more affordable than big hospitals.
Many times, even because the doctors attending the clinic are too young, its reputation is not even very good.
Marx said in "Das Kapital": 10% profit can make people crazy, 50% profit can make people desperate, 100% profit can make people take risks, and 300% profit can make people take risks.
, capitalists can trample all laws in the world.
Occupying the best piece of land at the intersection is actually such a small clinic. It has naturally been coveted by people for several years. Every once in a while, representatives from real estate companies will come to visit, or some hooligans will come to visit. However,
In the past seven or eight years, although the surroundings have changed and the profit of the clinic has not been high, it has always been open here, like a stubborn nail shop.
In recent years, as the surrounding environment has gotten better and better and housing prices have become more and more expensive, there have been fewer people who dare to knock on the door. However, there have never been fewer people with other purposes.
It was eight o'clock in the evening. The street lights on the street and the neon lights of the shops along the road were still on. There were pedestrians walking in twos and threes after dinner on the roadside. There were not many vehicles on the nearby streets and they were probably not going fast. This was not the case.
It feels like a standard residential area. In front of the closed clinic, a middle-aged man in a suit who seems to be a successful man is making a last-ditch effort to date the nurse in the clinic. Generally speaking, he will not do this after being rejected.
She is stalking or reluctant to leave, but this is not the first time a similar situation has happened to this Japanese nurse named Tsukichi Kaoru who still looks like a girl.
In the few years since the clinic opened, there has been no shortage of all kinds of male suitors. Some are more gentlemanly, sending flowers, dating, and doing it for months at a time. Some are more romantic and have dragged a couple over.
The roses on the car almost drowned the door of the clinic. Some people were more irritable and directly called their brothers to threaten them to fall in love with them. Some people were more circuitous and deliberately let themselves catch a cold before coming to pick up girls...
…
To be honest, no matter what the way of pursuit, what you get in the end is just a gentle and polite rejection. The girl doesn't even make ordinary friends. Except for the patients who come to see the doctor, they will say a few gentle words. Once the condition is better,
All you can get are some formulaic answers. If it is a show of love, the answer is simpler: "I'm sorry, I have someone I like." This sentence is quite certain, and it can be seen from her smile.
A touch of happiness, if anything needs to be added, it would probably be: "I like him very much, and I don't want him to hate me, thank you." This statement is somewhat too frank and embarrassing, but she is Japanese, so it is okay.
I understand. As for what some people say, "At least we can make friends," they are all ignored. She is a stubborn girl.
Another nurse named Shasha who occasionally appears in the clinic is often followed by people, but because she does not appear every day, she is still not as popular as the Japanese girl who is resident in the clinic. As for the young doctor who is attending the clinic,
He is probably an unscrupulous person. When he sees the girls in the clinic being entangled, he always looks on with evil intentions. He will even make bets with some acquaintances on "how long can this guy last?"
This young doctor has a lot of bad tastes. Not only does he bet on the troubles of his employees, he will also shamelessly accept the snacks brought by others to pick up girls, eat them secretly next to him, and even share them with acquaintances without giving them to Xun.
.And since people send flowers almost every day, the small shop attached to the clinic is never short of flowers, so there is no need to purchase them.
When nothing happens, you can often see him and Xun happily sitting in the sun, breaking down the bouquets sent by others, wrapping them up one by one, and putting them into the shop's flower baskets for sale. Xun is not angry, sitting there.
There seemed to be some happiness and satisfaction in the expression of the person who was wrapping the bouquet with the doctor. As long as the flowers were sent by someone who refused to listen after the first refusal, they would accept them without any courtesy. If there was no time to repackage them, they would take off the greeting card and label them directly.
The lower price is put on the sales counter first.
Using flowers sent by others to woo others to make money to support the family... If this kind of behavior is accidentally witnessed by some suitors, my heart will probably fall to pieces on the spot and will never be put back together again. Maybe in the future, Xun will be regarded as trampling on people's hearts.
Maybe even the devil.
Although as the owner of the clinic, the young doctor named Gu Jiaming has a heart as bad as a devil, full of all kinds of strange and hopeless bad tastes because of boredom. But after some contact
, you may learn that this boring man is already married, and as the other half of the couple, his wife named Ye Lingjing can be regarded as a model of an ideal wife, young, beautiful, and very
It is hard to imagine that she is already the mother of an eight-year-old boy. She is an excellent piano player. While she has an elegant temperament, she is also not lacking in girlish playfulness and vitality. Most importantly, for outsiders,
In other words, she possesses the morality and conscience that her husband seriously lacks, or... it is the morality and conscience that this small family generally lacks...
In the early years, she had thought about finding an outstanding boy for Xun, but in recent years, she seemed to have learned some things, and she would be somewhat helpless while her husband watched Xun's troubles unscrupulously.
, to properly isolate some unnecessary worries for Xun. For example, right now, she is dealing with the successful suitor at the door for Xun.
"In fact, I'm afraid Xun will not accept your pursuit. She should already have... someone she likes, so she probably..."
Matchmaking is very good, but it seems that it is difficult to give out advice about bad marriages, because no matter how nice it is, it is definitely not what others will like. However, after so many years, she actually understands that although Xun never said it
, but she actually doesn't like pursuing such and such pursuits, and now that she has come to help as a shield, her mood is indeed a bit complicated, but despite this, she still does it.
Of course, although there are many rebellious and unruly elements in Lingjing's heart, her outward temper has always been gentle, and she is very popular wherever she goes with people. When she comes forward to help Xun speak, most of the time, the suitor
They would say a few nice words and then retreat knowingly, but occasionally they would meet hard-liners like the one in front of them.
Mature, calm, and relatively rich in life experience. Due to success in some aspects, I have also developed considerable self-confidence. Although I have been divorced once, I have become more clear about what I need and understand life and feelings better. The most important thing is that I have been divorced once.
, when most people are about to give up, he will still fight hard and correctly. Just like this, after listening to Lingjing finish speaking, he also adjusted his glasses after thinking for a moment, showing a relative expression.
An honest smile.
"Actually, I hope you won't find it strange when I say this... During this period, I asked many people about Miss Xun's situation, and they all said that in addition to her life in the clinic and some small activities with you, Miss Xun,
In fact, there is no fixed boyfriend...Of course, I am not...well, I don't mean..."
He smiled and tried hard to express his sincere thoughts: "Ah... I know there are many people like me, and everyone is doing it for Miss Xun's good, but what I want to say is... I treat this person very sincerely.
There is nothing rash about this matter. I understand how I feel in my heart and I also know what I want. Although I have had such an experience once and now I have Xiaojun... Hehe, I know Miss Xun is very good.
She likes children, and Xiaojun also likes her very much, so this will not be an obstacle..."
As he said this, the little fat man next to him also nodded vigorously. At this time, another father and son with similar looks had also approached. The still young father put one hand in his trouser pocket and held the other hand naturally.
Holding Lingjing's hand, next to him was a little face that was bruised and purple from a fight and still looked harmless due to the many band-aids on it. The little boy stood there holding his father's clothes corner with one hand, eyes in his eyes.
Flashing with smart light, looking at the man and his son in front of him, his eyes blinked, and then blinked again.
The middle-aged man did not feel embarrassed because of the visitor. He just smiled, waved his hand and continued talking.
"...Well, so I will definitely take this relationship seriously. And on the other hand, I have a house, a car, and a regular job in Jianghai, and I also have a certain... ha, I mean,
Of course, this is not important, but at least I have a good foundation in material terms, which can at least reduce a lot of things that I need to worry about. I mean, you are all Xun’s important family members, I hope you can at least give me... a
A chance to start.”
Appropriate pauses strengthened his persuasiveness. He was calm, calm and not coy. In some respects, he could be called generous. Lingjing couldn't help but feel that the man in front of her was a bit difficult to deal with. With such remarks
If so, there would probably be no problem in passing the test of any parent. To be honest, being married is not a problem. Such people are more considerate. If a few years ago, I and Shasha were ignorant and wanted to find a boyfriend for Xun.
At that moment, I probably nodded without saying a word, but now I still have to help push it away. Thinking about it, I feel really confused.
"Well, I understand, but it's really not about other problems. Xun...she really already has someone she likes."
As soon as she felt resentful in her heart, she kept that fresh and sincere smile, and secretly couldn't help but pinch the man next to her hand hard. Jiaming was standing nearby and watching the show without any conscience, and at this time, her hand
The last time I felt pain, I shook my head in an exaggerated way. I looked at my wife out of the corner of her eye and realized that she was obviously going to help testify.
"Oh, oh oh, yes, yes, Xun, she has a boyfriend, she has a boyfriend." He nodded towards the other party, obviously committing perjury.
"Uh...heh..." Even a fool can spot such a low-tech lie, not to mention that he also asked people around him about these things, but for a moment, he didn't know what to say.
It's impossible to just say "you lied". This matter needs to be tactful. As soon as the words started, the harmless little boy with a band-aid on his face pulled the corner of his father's clothes and said innocently and quietly
: "Dad, didn't you say that if someone else marries Aunt Xun, our clinic will close down?"
"Oh? Did I say this?"
"Well, Aunt Shasha said the same thing."
The father, who was also harmless to humans and animals, remained calm and touched his chin thoughtfully.
The little boy kept up his efforts and continued to speak innocently and quietly, in fact everyone could hear him.
"Aunt Shasha said that Aunt Xun came to China secretly because she was kicked out by her family in Japan. She didn't even have an ID card, so you hired her to be a nurse and she worked hard without having to pay her. You also threatened her that if she ran away, you would call the police. So,
This will save a lot of money...Dad, daddy..." The little boy tugged at the corner of his father's clothes and continued to whisper, "Would you be embarrassed if Aunt Xun went away..."
The unscrupulous and black-hearted father put his hand to his lips and looked at the little boy next to him as if he were a child prodigy: "How can he express so many meanings in one breath..." The still young and beautiful mother on the other side looked like
He aged ten years in an instant, and his eyes were a little dazed. The middle-aged man in front was also dazed.
After a long while, he finally spoke: "I...well...although I have heard of similar things before, but...Miss Xun...does she...really don't have an ID card..."
How should I answer this kind of thing? Lingjing hesitated for a moment, then spoke and waved her hand gently.
"Haha, this kind of thing... shouldn't be true. Haha, I will come again, I will come again..."
"Uh, Mr. Tang..."
Lingjing shouted, but the other party had already turned around and walked away with her son. The night wind was so cold, it was so cold that the middle-aged man could vaguely hear the indifferent voice of defense coming from behind: "Oh, Shasha
This is malicious slander. I obviously give her hundreds of dollars in pocket money every month..."
A few hundred yuan... pocket money...
Not far away, in the garden on the inside of the wall, little Meng, who had been playing the eavesdropping role as a spy, was clutching his stomach and about to collapse to the ground. His whole body was shaking as if he was shaking because he couldn't hold back his laughter...
The night wind blew by, and Lingjing squatted under the street lamp pole, gently supporting her forehead with one hand. If she looked at it from a distance, the graceful curves might still have a sense of elegance and loneliness, and she was a little helpless in her loneliness. Of course,
, probably few people can guess the reason why the beauty is helpless. Two men, big and small, are still around to bother her.
"Mom, mom." The little boy made the same gesture and secretly poked his mother's waist with his fingers. He inherited his father's harmless temperament and his mother's delicate and clever face. Of course, sometimes, this cunning
It seems too obvious and sharp, which often makes my father feel a little regretful.
"Mom, mom." Jia Ming squatted on the other side and put his hands around his wife's shoulders, shaking them gently. Their cheeks were almost touching each other. He repeated his son's words softly for a while.
, Lingjing struggled symbolically, but of course it was useless. Just when her body swayed slightly, her son's finger happened to poke over and put a little force on her waist, which made her laugh. After laughing, this unbearable
The passionate woman finally broke out.
"I am the only decent person in the family. If I continue like this, I will be tortured to death by you sooner or later..." She said with a coquettish tone, pricked out her almond-shaped eyes, and stared at her husband fiercely. This was of course meaningless, and then turned her head to glare at the other side.
Son, the little boy had just tickled his mother and felt slightly guilty. His body was leaning back. After being stared at like this, he accidentally sat on his butt on the ground. Then he was picked up and spanked by Lingjing who couldn't laugh or cry.
"Who taught you to say that?"
"Mom, didn't you also say that?"
Lingjing laughed angrily: "That was a joke. Don't say that to others in the future."
"But it's very interesting, and Aunt Xun doesn't like him." The little boy thought for a while, and then seemed to think of something interesting, "Mom, mom, you don't know, it was just a few days ago, two months ago.
The handsome uncle who started to pursue Aunt Xun sent flowers and asked someone from the flower shop to deliver them. He hid outside the wall to watch Aunt Xun's reaction. I happened to be coming from home and saw him sneaking around on the corner of the street.
I also hid behind him and watched, and then... huh huh huh... and then..."
The little boy seemed to have thought of something funny. He held his stomach and laughed non-stop. It took him a long time to calm down: "Then he probably saw Aunt Xun take off the card and put the bouquet on the flower counter, and then
... He was completely stunned, really stunned, huh huh huh... his chin seemed to have fallen off, and his eyes were straight, just like this..."
He made a vivid "dumb" gesture, and then continued to hold his stomach and laugh: "Then, and then I saw him crying, and he just stood there, crying all the time, hahahaha..."
The little boy just smiled like this. Lingjing felt a little helpless. She frowned and kicked Jia Ming next to her. However, Jia Ming's expression became serious. When the little boy in front of him who was similar to him gradually finished laughing, he
Then he knelt down and touched the boy's head seriously.
"You have to know, it's because he confessed to your Aunt Xun, and after your Aunt Xun refused seriously, he kept saying that he didn't listen, so the flowers were put on the shelf. If he had refused clearly,
In the past, your Aunt Xun would accept the flowers sent by others from the florist. It’s a good thing that someone likes you. You have to be sincere and don’t look down on other people’s kindness. Remember that? "
The little boy looked at his father, then at his mother, and nodded seriously: "Yes, I remember."
"Okay." Jiaming stood up and ruffled his hair mischievously, interrupting the child's serious expression. "Aunt Xun is about to pack up. Let's go and drive over."
He turned back and gestured to Brother Meng, who was still laughing, and took his son's hand to a nearby parking lot. His voice still came through: "But, if this kind of kindness has been seriously rejected, the other party will not
If you are willing to accept it, then you are causing trouble for others. This kind of thing deserves to be laughed at, hahahaha... Why did that guy cry? Tell me again..."
"That's it, that's it..."
The father put his hands in his pockets and walked leisurely, with his son jumping around beside him. The voices of the two of them gradually faded away. Lingjing looked over there with a gentle smile on her lips. For a moment, Little Meng came from
He came over from the side and said, "Jia Ming doesn't look serious, but he's actually quite good at teaching children."
"Actually, most of the time, he is still not serious, and the same goes for Shasha. As a result, the three of them are at war when they are at home. Fortunately, there are such occasional serious times, otherwise I will bite him to death..."
We were already acquaintances with Brother Meng, so there was no need to hide anything. Lingjing gritted her teeth, but her smile was still full of happiness.
"She's already very reliable when she's serious occasionally, but I can't. I can't always take Shuhui seriously."
"It's better to bring Shuhui to Jianghai sometime and let her be raised by my family. You can go to and from school with Yunjie. Don't forget that she is the child bride appointed by my family, and my family also has a share."
Xiao Meng and Mu Qingqing’s daughter is named Meng Shuhui. She was born in the same year as Yunjie. She is only a dozen days younger than Yunjie. She has played with Yunjie since she was a child. In the past two years, Xiao Meng and Mu Qingqing have worked.
, Xiao Meng’s parents were also a little lonely in the countryside, so they sent their daughter to study in primary school there. Originally, they could have left her in Jianghai to be taken care of by her grandparents, but Xiao Meng’s idea was to let her daughter go back to spend some time with her parents. The old man did not
So lonely, and then taking over, it would be logical to let parents who don't think much about city life move here in the name of taking care of Shuhui. At this time, he smiled.
"Well, it's a given that they are child brides, but I think it would be a bit early for them to get together right after they graduate from junior high school. Wouldn't it be better if they finish high school..."
Before he finished speaking, Lingjing turned her head and burst into laughter. The word child bride used to be Jiaming's favorite word, and the story between her, Jiaming, and Shasha later became
It has also been made public among friends, and they have been envied, jealous, and hated for a long time. However, every time they are teased like this, Lingjing and Shasha just feel warm in their hearts.
The two were chatting on the roadside. In the clinic behind, Xun changed into a white dress with a waistcoat and came out with a small handbag. When he walked behind Lingjing, he hugged her gently and rested his chin on her shoulder.
Go up, like two sisters who have a good relationship: "Hi, Lingjing."
"Yeah." Lingjing's cheek touched hers, and after a moment, she smiled, "That's right, that's right, I almost got rid of that annoying guy for you just now, but...
After the troublemaker made trouble, all the efforts were in vain."
"Um?"
"Is such that……"
The street lights gently enveloped the few people below, and the night wind touched the light skirts. After a while, a car drove over. After saying goodbye to Xiao Meng, Lingjing and Xun got in the car, and Xiao Meng waved and walked towards her.
In the business car parked not far away, the two families lived not too far away. He also came home today and stopped by to sit there. Under the street lights, the two cars drove towards the distance where the night was darker.
