As soon as I walked out of the hospital gate, my cell phone rang. It's Lin Yixin's phone number.
"Why didn't you tell me that you were delivering food?" Her voice came through the receiver, with a bit of questioning.
"Didn't you say you were a doctor?" I responded, standing on the steps in front of the hospital.
In a place like that, one would never inquire about the other party’s affairs. I didn’t expect that we would bump into each other by such a chance today.
“You must keep our matters secret.” Lin Yixin reminded me in a serious tone.
"Don't worry, I understand the rules." I assured her on the phone.
If word of this gets out, the matter could be big or small. In the worst case, she might have to say goodbye to the rich boss and lose her job in the hospital.
Hang up the phone, I continued delivering takeout, and soon received a familiar address.
Sent it to the river, and the order notes said as usual that you should bring a pack of cigarettes. I immediately guessed who the customer was, and it was the fishing guy again.
"Looking at how well-off your ex-wife is, I can barely bring you a pack of cigarettes!" I muttered, and got on my electric bike to pick up the meal.
I also bought a package of Xuanhemen for 20 yuan on the way. When I brought it to the river, I saw the fisherman from a distance staring at the float intently.
I walked quietly behind him and lowered my voice: "Your takeaway has arrived."
"Oh, shit!" He was so excited that he fell off the fishing box and almost rolled into the river.
"Why do you walk like a ghost! Do you know that you can scare people to death?" He got up in embarrassment, patting his chest and gasping.
"Didn't you mean to come over quietly? I shouted last time. Didn't you blame me for scaring the fish away?" I responded helplessly.
"It can't be like being a thief!"
After taking the takeaway, he continued to ask: "Did you bring the cigarettes this time?"
I handed over the bag of Xuan Hemen: "20!"
"So expensive? Just bring me a bag of gold leaves worth ten yuan next time."
I suppressed my anger: "Then do you still want it now?"
It is impossible to give it away for free. It is too abnormal and will arouse suspicion.
He took out a crumpled ten yuan: "Well, you leave half a bag for me."
I almost laughed angrily, he is so stingy, no wonder his wife wants to divorce him.
In the end, I left him the pack of cigarettes. Anyway, I would just get it back from his ex-wife next time.
After the peak period of food delivery, I returned to the site to rest. Not long after he sat down, Zhang Guangtian also came back on a battery car.
As soon as this guy saw me, he came over and said mysteriously: "Brother, let me tell you, I met a top-notch young woman some time ago, and I almost succeeded, but I don't know which bastard got in first."
I took a sip of water, pretending to be curious and asked: "What's going on?"
This boy always likes to brag about his romantic encounters, and I often listen to his nonsense.
Zhang Guangtian started his speech: "The young woman's husband is a fisherman. I added her on WeChat and chatted with her for half a month!"
"It was originally agreed that I would come to visit her husband when he went fishing, but he suddenly blocked me a few days ago."
I guessed in my mind, isn't this the ex-wife of the fisherman just now?
Hunting back a smile, he continued: "Then how are you sure that someone has cut off your ID?"
"I specifically took her takeout order today and asked her face to face! She said that she had recently found someone who was "more troublesome". "
I almost choked on the water. If this stupid boy knew that "the one who was more troublesome" was in front of him, he would probably smash my battery car.
“It’s okay, don’t you have a lot of crushes?” I patted his shoulder to comfort him.
"What does it mean to be in good company!" Zhang Guangtian suddenly became excited.
"Don't say it so harshly, do you understand that every relationship is true love? I take relationships very seriously!"
He clutched his chest and made a pained gesture: "I'm really hurt this time, no one has ever been able to play with my feelings like this!"
I suppressed my laughter until my stomach ached, thinking that he was the only one who had the virtue to love someone, so he had the nerve to say that others were playing with their feelings.
However, looking at his mournful look, I decided to save some face for him: "Yes, yes, it's all true love!"
Just as he was talking, He Shiyu came over with a helmet in hand: "What are you two talking about so enthusiastically?"
Zhang Guangtian's face changed instantly and he responded with a flattering smile: "We are discussing which newly opened restaurant has the best food!"
He Shiyu looked at us doubtfully: "Come here, you must be talking about something inappropriate."
She shook her ponytail, "The stationmaster said there is a heavy rain warning tonight, let me inform you."
< br/> When He Shiyu walked away, Zhang Guangtian's face immediately dropped again: "Where did you just say? By the way, the one you mentioned is better?"
I quickly interrupted him: "It's not raining heavily yet, so hurry up and run a few more times. I guess you won't be able to run at night."
In the evening, the sky darkened suddenly, and big raindrops fell. I shut down the order-taking backend and decided to call it a day and go home early.
Opening the door of the rental house, the three women are also there tonight.
In the living room, Su Yan was sitting on the sofa watching Korean dramas. When she heard the door open, she said hello to me: "You're back."
The sound of a hair dryer came from the bathroom. It was probably Han Mengyao drying her hair.
In the kitchen, Lin Xiaoyu is wearing an apron and cooking a pot of home-style Malatang.
I walked over and naturally took the spatula from her hand: "I'll watch the heat, you go and rest for a while."
Lin Xiaoyu took off her apron and hung it around my neck: "I've put all the seasonings. Let's cook for another three minutes and the pot will be ready."
Not long after, I brought the finished Malatang to the table.
Su Yan was the first to run to the dining table like a cat smelling fish.
“There was no one around when I was helping, but eating came first.” I deliberately teased her.
Su Yan had already picked up a piece of lotus root slices: "It wasn't Xiao Yu who said that I boiled like dishwater last time!"
She also defended, "I obviously followed the Douyin tutorial!"< br/>
Lin Xiaoyu came over with a bowl: "What you call creative cooking, we ordinary people can't appreciate it."
At this time, Han Mengyao came out of the bathroom wearing cool pajamas.
"Mengyao, do you want to eat something together?" I called to her.
"No, I can't eat spicy food." After saying that, he turned around and returned to the room.
After a while, after eating, Xiao Yu and Su Yan returned to the room.
I made another lighter vegetable and egg soup supper and brought it to Han Mengyao’s room.
Since Huang Li entrusted her to me, I naturally have to pay more attention to her in order to prevent Han Mengyao from having bad thoughts again.
Walking into Han Mengyao's boudoir, she was half lying on the bed reading a book.
"I made some midnight snack, something not spicy." I brought the bowl to the desk.
"Thank you!" Han Mengyao put down her book, got out of bed and walked over.
"Drink it while it's hot." I stood there and looked at her.
Han Mengyao took two sips and praised: "I didn't expect that Brother Chen Hao's cooking skills are so good."
This is just an ordinary home-cooked recipe, not very delicious.
It may also be the most ordinary thing, but it can move people more.
