Chapter 186: Several Couples in the Siheyuan

He Hongmei did not answer the question, but just smiled and continued: "This is what happened..." Then she began to describe what happened in detail.

It turned out that He Hongmei's father, He Zhiyan, was only in his early forties, but he had already mastered both Chinese and Western medicine and was well-known in the medical community.

Now he works as a health doctor in the "Health Bureau" and is also the vice president of Union Hospital. However, because he often provides health care for some leaders, he does not go to Union Hospital often.

Therefore, interns like Liu Zhitai didn't know much about him.

Although he didn't go to Union Hospital often, there was a new friend next to his beloved girl. How could he not know about this young man? How could he not get to know him?
So he quietly retrieved Liu Zhitai's resume and looked through it carefully. After reading it, he felt somewhat satisfied with this outstanding young man.

However, this was far from enough. So he began to pay attention to Liu Zhitai's every move. After a period of observation, he felt that the time was ripe, so he confronted He Hongmei...

After hearing this, Liu Zhitai suddenly realized, "It turns out that Vice President He is your father! At first I thought you had the same name, but when I think about it carefully, you two don't look much alike, do you?"

He Hongmei said somewhat sadly: "I look more like my mother..."

Liu Zhitai hurriedly comforted her: "Don't be sad, Hongmei. By the way, didn't you say before that your uncle works at the Shanghai Zhongshan Hospital? Why did you suddenly come to Beijing Union Medical College Hospital?"

"Well, he has just been in Beijing for less than a year. Because of the need for health care work, the organization transferred him here. In fact, I don't want to say more about this, for fear that you will misunderstand that I am showing off." He Hongmei explained, and added: "Besides, his work environment and work content are quite special, so we need to keep it confidential..."

Liu Zhitai suddenly realized, shook his head and sighed, "So that's it. A few days ago, he led the surprise ward rounds and always liked to call on my name to ask questions. I was complacent at the time, thinking that my excellent performance impressed him and he was interested in training me. Now it seems that I may have been too self-righteous."

He recalled the scenes of the past few days and couldn't help but feel deeply moved. Whenever Vice President He took the lead in making rounds, he was always called on to ask questions. No matter how he answered, Vice President He would give him comments, which benefited him a lot.

He began to wonder if his outstanding performance had impressed Vice President He, or if he really had a good grasp of the knowledge. This doubt continued until today, when he suddenly realized that Vice President He actually had a deeper meaning.

Liu Zhiye patted Liu Zhitai on the shoulder and consoled him earnestly, "Don't underestimate yourself. Your current performance is already good enough. Otherwise, Hongmei's father wouldn't pay attention to you. What do you think?"

Liu Zhitai couldn't help laughing when he heard this. Indeed, if he wasn't outstanding, how could He Hongmei's father be optimistic about him?

……

"Hongmei, don't leave at night. We have room to stay in our house. You can stay in the front yard with your sister-in-law at night." Seeing that it was getting evening, He Hongmei wanted to say goodbye, so Deng Ru persuaded her.

Gan Ning also took He Hongmei's hand and said with a smile: "Hongmei, although this is our first meeting, I feel very close to you. I don't want you to leave, so why don't you stay and chat with me? We can go to the park together tomorrow, Sunday."

Liu Zhitai didn't want her to leave, and advised her, "Hongmei, please stay. You will be alone at home if you go back. Uncle He is busy and may not be home for days and nights. Besides, if you stay at home alone, Uncle He will be worried."

He Hongmei hesitated for a moment. She knew that what Liu Zhitai said made sense. She would indeed feel lonely if she went back alone. Besides, her father was so busy that she would not be able to see him even if she went back.

"Okay, then I'll stay. Sorry to trouble you..." Seeing that the Liu family was sincere in wanting her to stay, He Hongmei decided to stay the night at the Liu family.

When Liu Zhiruo saw that He Hongmei agreed, he jumped up excitedly and said, "Wow! That's great! I want to sleep with you guys tonight." Deng Ru smiled and told Liu Zhiye to get some delicious dishes and improve the food tonight.

"Hey! How about I call Zhuzi over to cook for us?" Liu Zhiye suggested.

Gan Ning smiled and continued, "You can ask him to come too, but you have to bring two more people with you."

Seeing this, Liu Zhiye was confused and asked, "Take two people with you. Who should you take?"

Gan Ning poked his arm and said, "Have you forgotten the girl I told you to introduce to him last time?"

"Ah! Are you talking about the female demon from Cangzhou?" Liu Zhiye asked in surprise. "Are they together?"

After hearing this, Gan Ning retorted with some anger: "Don't talk nonsense, what is a female demon? What if others hear it?"

"This girl is really good, honest and efficient. She cleaned the pillars so well that she looks like a completely different person."

"Wow! What a good day today is! I actually saw two of them in pairs." Liu Zhiye exclaimed.

At a side, Deng Ru said with a smile: "That's not all! The marriage of Xu Damao in the backyard is almost settled. It is said that he will get married at the end of this year." This news surprised the family members. After all, Xu Damao has always seemed a little unreliable.

"And there's more! A while ago, Yan Jiecheng also brought back a beautiful girl. I heard she was a teacher in Yan's school." Liu Zhiye opened his mouth wide when he heard this and exclaimed, "Hey! What's going on this year? People have to get married and find a partner in groups! I haven't been home for just a few days, why has the compound changed so much!"

The family was talking and laughing.

Suddenly, a young girl in the yard called out, "Is Aunt Deng at home?"

Upon hearing this, Gan Ning smiled and said, "Hello! Speak of the devil, come on, I'll take you to meet this girl." After that, she pulled Liu Zhiye out of the house.

"Wang Qiuju, what do you want to say? Let's go inside and talk." Gan Ning greeted this tall and thin girl with wheat-colored skin and pretty face warmly when he saw her.

When Wang Qiuju saw that it was Gan Ning who greeted her, she immediately said warmly: "Oh! It's my sister-in-law who is home! I don't have anything to do, I just want to bring you some donkey meat hotpot to try." As she spoke, she handed over a small basket and covered the floor with a white cloth.

"Wow! Donkey meat hot pot? This is delicious! Where did you get the donkey meat?" Liu Zhiye asked curiously.

Wang Qiuju didn't know Liu Zhiye and asked in confusion: "Who is this comrade?"

Gan Ning quickly introduced: "Hey! I forgot to introduce you. Qiuju, this is my husband, you can just call him brother." Then he turned to Liu Zhiye and said: "This is Zhuzi's girlfriend, Comrade Wang Qiuju."

Wang Qiuju said cheerfully: "Hey! Hello, Brother Liu!"

Liu Zhiye smiled and nodded: "Hello to you too, Comrade Qiuju." Well, he had a good first impression of this girl.

Wang Qiuju narrated the story: "Zhu Zi helped in the kitchen at a wedding yesterday, and they gave him a few pounds of donkey meat as a thank you.

I don’t know how to cook anything else, I can only cook our Cangzhou specialty snack – donkey meat hotpot, I made it specially today for you to taste.”

Liu Zhiye took the basket and said happily: "Thank you so much, Comrade Qiuju!"

Wang Qiuju waved her hand and said, "Brother, you don't have to be polite to me. All I can do is a trivial thing to thank you."

"If my sister-in-law hadn't helped me, my brother and I would not have had a good life. You don't know, I almost married a lame widower..." When she said this, she was reminded of her sad past and felt very sad.

Gan Ning patted her hands and comforted her: "Qiuju, you two have escaped from the sea of ​​suffering now, and we all need to look forward, don't you think?"

Wang Qiuju wiped her eyes, smiled and nodded to Gan Ning, "Thank you, sister-in-law. I will."

"Then sister-in-law, I'm leaving first, you guys go ahead and do your work!" After saying this, he walked out a few steps and went a few meters away.

Hey! She is so efficient! I really admire her.

"Come back here! You haven't finished your sentence yet!" Gan Ning shouted anxiously.

"Swoosh!" Wang Qiuju's body swayed slightly a few times and returned to Gan Ning's sight.

Wang Qiuju widened her eyes and asked, "Sister-in-law, do you have anything else to say?"

Liu Zhiye's eyes lit up, and he asked with great interest: "Comrade Wang Qiuju, you are quite skilled! What kind of Kung Fu do you practice?"

Wang Qiuju scratched her head and said, "Hehe, I'm sorry to make you laugh, Brother Liu. I just practice Liuhequan and know some country moves. I'm not good enough to be on the stage."

Gan Ning had no interest in kung fu, and just told Wang Qiuju: "Qiuju, when Zhuzi comes back later, please ask him to come over to help cook. My second brother's girlfriend is here, and we need to treat her well. Also, you guys should come over tonight to hang out together! It's more lively when there are more people."

Wang Qiuju said a little embarrassedly: "Sister-in-law, I'll ask Zhuzi to come over to help. We won't go over there. There are so many people..."

Gan Ning smiled and responded: "That's it, just listen to me! Your brother Liu doesn't need those few bites of food."

"Ta-ta! I'll go back and tell Zhuzi right away." With that he ran away in a hurry.
