Chapter 159: 159 A bowl of dumplings and love at first sight

Chapter 159 159. A bowl of dumplings and love at first sight

In front of the cashier, the atmosphere was dull for a moment.

The girl numbly accepted the receipt handed over by the cashier at the front desk: a dish of chicken with saliva, a dish of braised pork ribs with pepper, a portion of blueberry mashed potatoes, two bowls of rice, and a pot of free barley tea, which totaled 76 yuan.

This meal is really not expensive. She usually spends more than this to watch movies and drink milk tea with her sisters.

However, the restaurant was not chosen by them. It was directly decided by the introducer, the head nurse. It is near the hospital and has a good reputation. Their department often has dinner here...

So, let’s just say 76. The girl didn’t care that she had paid for it, but she couldn’t help but think: Sure enough, the doctor Zhang in front of her was very diligent and thrifty.

The girl twitched her lips and asked again: "What did you just say?"

However, Dr. Zhang regretted it as soon as he said it. He shook his head hurriedly: "No, no, I will take you home."

He hurriedly walked out the door, but the girl had been holding back countless things about the blind date and wanted to vomit. At this moment, on impulse, she followed closely and asked: "Say it again."

Doctor Zhang was instantly frightened.

"I, I, I...I said, why don't you send me home? I'll cook dumplings for—"

Halfway through the conversation, I felt that it was dangerous for me as a single man to invite a strange girl to my door, so I changed my words and said, "I'll pack dumplings for you to eat."

Who cares about eating dumplings?

That stuff is hard to digest and makes you burp all day long. Girls don’t like it!

But now that the words had come to this point, she didn't know whether to be angry or laugh, so she simply said without hesitation, "Okay, I remember Sister Zhao said your home is nearby, right?"

Sister Zhao is the head nurse.

Zhang Yuan's expression suddenly felt heartbroken, but the girl looked at it and showed a trace of happiness.

His home was indeed not far away. He pointed to the opposite side and said, "It's in that community."

It has been almost fifteen years since the Millennium Garden opposite was built, and Dr. Zhang’s family also tried their best to buy it.

Now, he takes a meager salary and surgery bonus every month. After paying off the mortgage, he is really short of money.

If this were not the case, we wouldn’t have to fight between heaven and man every time we buy groceries, and feel pain in our hearts.

He was really heartbroken at the thought of the dumplings being sent away. Even the girl's hair, which was floating slightly in the sun and smelled of sweet fruity shampoo, was no longer attractive to him.

Until then, there was a vibration from his phone. He quickly opened it and saw that it was the head nurse asking: "Doctor Zhang, how was the chat?"

It was only after Dr. Zhang did this that he realized: He was on a blind date!

You must perform well when going on a blind date!

After thinking for a while, he regained his composure and continued: "You don't know, those dumplings are simply the most delicious thing in the world. I packed them for you. Don't throw them away. You must eat them!"

Then he asked again: “Do you really want to eat it?”

What can a girl say?

Even if she didn’t really want to eat it, it would have to come true now.

It’s probably because Dr. Zhang’s previous behavior was so outrageous that he said even more outrageous things now, which made the girl think that this person was a little too silly and quite cute (gaoxiao).

So she nodded sincerely: "Don't worry, I will definitely eat it. I'll take a video to show you while I'm eating it."

Zhang Yuan's expression on the opposite side became more and more painful: ...It's not necessary.

The girl couldn't bear to bully such an honest man, so she quickly changed the subject:

“Don’t you still have bamboo shoots? Bamboo shoots are delicious too.”

This way you won’t be reluctant to part with a box of dumplings.

She paid for lunch today!“I can’t do it.”

Not only can he not do it, but he also has very little time. He usually works the night shift.

So it was a day after he got the bamboo shoots back. He was reluctant to send them to the canteen to ask the chef for help, and at the same time he didn't know how to cook them himself, so he was troubled.

The girl said casually: "This is simple. You peel the bamboo shoots clean, cut them into dices, blanch them, and prepare a portion of fat and thin pork belly dices... Can you make steamed buns? This is the stuffing for steamed buns. Simply the best.”

As she finished speaking, she saw Zhang Yuan looking at her with a slight admiration in his eyes.

The girl paused and felt slightly embarrassed.

What... She only knows a few words by looking at her mother's handbags. In fact, she has no practical experience. The other party is a doctor after all. How difficult it is to be a medical student! Now looking at myself like this...

It’s a bit overwhelming!

Looking at it this way, even the thinning hair doesn’t seem like such a big flaw.

No, there is still a little bit.

The girl moved her eyes away from the top of his sparse hair and secretly made up her mind:

“Next time we meet, let’s give each other two wigs.”

If the other party is really as honest and stupid as he appears, he shouldn't be angry... right?

She clenched her fists nervously.

While talking, the two of them had arrived at Zhang Yuan’s house.

His house was on the first floor. The girl was waiting in the yard while Zhang Yuan went back to put the dumplings in a separate box and took them out with great reluctance.

And repeatedly warned: "You, you must eat."

Being reluctant to part with each other is not like parting from a blind date, but rather like parting from your life-and-death lover.

The girl was soft-hearted about this matter, and impulsively added: "Do you want those bamboo shoots? I'll take them back to make buns for you?"

Doctor Zhang is in high spirits!

He looked at the girl's reddish cheeks and thought that she must have really fallen in love with me. It must be love at first sight!

Oh my god, there is actually a girl who washes my hands and makes soup for me in this life!

He was so excited that he couldn't contain himself. He clenched his fists tightly at this moment, and then shouted very loudly: "Okay!"

He quickly slipped into the house, and before the girl could even say her regretful words, he came out carrying a bag of bamboo shoots:

“Where is your home? I’ll take you back.”

No, no, no, no! !

The girl was regretful enough, but she didn't expect to reveal her home address. What if the silly doctor opposite came to her and came to her door?

She is thirty this year and is not married yet. Her mother just wants to see a man at home.

Then...it’s not like she’s not looking for it. Doesn’t it mean she hasn’t found the right one? Don't give the other party the wrong impression.

So Zhang Yuan stared at the girl's back as she drove away, already looking forward to the next meeting.

Looking at the watch again, it’s only one o’clock in the afternoon. Can you pack it before five o’clock?

It seems that I don’t have a steamer at home. Do I need to go to the supermarket to buy another one?

Dr. Zhang was thinking about it, thinking about eating delicious steamed buns with bamboo shoots and diced meat in the evening. Now he was bathed in the bright sunshine, and his strong sense of anticipation and aftertaste made him so happy that his mind almost melted.

Today’s third update, I wrote it down, check it again, and revise it...

To be on the safe side, I’m afraid I’ll fall asleep in the middle of the session (I’m really inspired and efficient at night, but also really sleepy). Let’s take a look at it tomorrow morning.
