Seeing that she was unhappy, Mrs. Wang coaxed her and said, "Miss, don't be angry. I just think Dr. Zheng is a nice person. If you don't like it, I'll just leave it alone."
Shen Xiaoxiao muttered "Yeah" and said nothing more. Wang Ma had taken care of her since she was a child and was very kind to her. She knew that this was also Wang Ma's kindness.
After returning to the room, Wang Ma put out the bath water and helped Shen Xiaoxiao lie down in the bathtub.
"Miss, when you're done, call me." Mother Wang took the clothes she took off and walked out of the bathroom.
Shen Xiaoxiao was lying in the bathtub, closing her eyes and relaxing her body. She thought about the time she spent with Zheng Chuyang today in her mind. She was really happy from the bottom of her heart. This birthday had a different meaning to her. After all, she was walking out on her own again. 's first birthday.
Suddenly, what Wang Ma just said rang in her ears again, and she laughed, feeling it was ridiculous.
The mobile phone on the stage rang and WeChat came in. Shen Xiaoxiao opened her eyes, wiped her hands and took the mobile phone.
As she expected, the WeChat message was from Zheng Chuyang, "I'm home safely. Go to bed early. Good night."
Shen Xiaoxiao replied to an emoticon she received and then logged out of WeChat.
She opened the calendar again and counted the days, what to do in three months, what to do in half a year, and what to do at the end of the year. She wrote all the plans in the notes one by one, and read and re-read them. Every word gave her full hope.
Zheng Chuyang returned home, finished sending the message to Shen Xiaoxiao, took a shower, and just took out a can of beer from the refrigerator when the doorbell rang.
He looked through the peephole, but before he could open the door, the person outside the door sneered: "Stop looking, open the door quickly."
The visitor is Zheng Chuyang’s childhood friend, Lu Shaohuai.
After Lu Shaohuai came in, while changing his slippers, he asked angrily: "Where have you been all day? You don't reply to WeChat messages and you don't answer the phone."
"Celebrating a birthday with a patient." Zheng Chuyang sat back on the sofa, opened a beer, took a sip, and said, "You can't do anything good with me if you are idle."
Lu Shaohuai rolled his eyes at him, walked straight to the kitchen, and came back with a can of beer.
"Okay, if you said it's no good, then it's no good." Lu Shaohuai opened the beer with a bang, took a big sip, and said, "I will return the store I helped you look at tomorrow and won't rent it anymore." ."
When Zheng Chuyang heard this, he smiled and asked, "Check it out for me? How is the location?"
"Isn't it bad for me to come to you?" Lu Shaohuai asked angrily, "Why are you asking me all this?" She looked like a wronged little daughter-in-law.
Zheng Chuyang said: "Stop making trouble and get down to business."
"Then tell me first, which patient is celebrating his birthday today? Is it a woman?" Lu Shaohuai asked gossiping.
Zheng Chuyang looked at him helplessly, "Yes, it's a woman. What's wrong?"
"What's the disease? Do you look good?" Lu Shaohuai became even more excited when he heard it was a woman.
Zheng Chuyang said: "None of this has anything to do with you. Hurry up and tell me about the retail space. How big is the area? Is it enough to open a clinic?"
Lu Shaohuai sneered, "Young man, why don't you say yes? Okay, I won't ask anymore. The truth will come out sooner or later."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Come on, tell me." Zheng Chuyang took a sip of beer.
After returning from abroad, he planned to open a traditional Chinese medicine clinic and make a living. He had visited several places before, but was not very satisfied with them. Later, it was time for the Chinese New Year, so this matter was postponed until the end of the new year. . Later I saw that this was not possible. I didn’t know Ning Cheng well, so I entrusted the matter to Lu Shaohuai. Not to mention, my brother really took care of the matter and found it just one day later.
"The store is in Shangdong County. There are residential buildings nearby. The location is accessible in all directions, and it is also next to the west square of the train station. There is a lot of traffic." Lu Shaohuai said, "The location is hard to say, and the area is six to seven hundred square meters, which meets your requirements.
."
“Is the rent expensive?”
"I'll find land for you. Can the rent be expensive? It's lower than the market price, so you can rest assured that you can rent it for as long as you want." Lu Shaohuai said confidently, patting his chest.
Zheng Chuyang nodded with satisfaction, "Thank you. If you agree, then there must be no problem. Just take me to have a look tomorrow and then sign the contract."
"No problem, the key is right here with me."
After talking about the business, Lu Shaohuai wanted to talk about the "female patient" with a playful smile. Zheng Chuyang said: "Don't catch a woman and ask her for details. She is just an ordinary patient. To put it more deeply, she is Meiya's friend.
That’s it, don’t ask anymore.”
"Friends from Meiya, that shouldn't be too bad." Lu Shaohuai asked teasingly: "Is there any possibility of development? Brother, you have to hurry up. In a few years, you will have four."
"Four or eight, emotional matters are not something I have to consider now. Don't worry about me. I'll open the clinic first. That's the big deal." Zheng Chuyang said calmly.
Seeing his lonely expression, Lu Shaohuai patted his shoulder and said, "Brother, don't forget what happened yesterday. Don't forget about emotional matters."
He thought that Zheng Chuyang was avoiding feelings and had not yet gotten over his last relationship, so he told him this.
Zheng Chuyang shrugged his shoulders, put his hand down, and looked at him as if he were a fool, "What did you say? What do you mean by force? You drank too much!" After he finished speaking, he stood up and wanted to go.
Go back to the room.
"I'm staying here tonight, so we can go to the store together tomorrow," Lu Shaohuai said from behind.
"You can do whatever you want. I'm going to bed first." Zheng Chuyang returned to the room.
In the following days, Zheng Chuyang was doing rehabilitation training with Shen Xiaoxiao while also busy with the decoration of the clinic.
The weather was getting better day by day, but Shen Xiaoxiao's training had little effect.
After that day's training, she sat on the bench dejectedly, holding a water glass in her hand and saying nothing.
Zheng Chuyang saw her wilting, sat next to her and asked, "What's wrong? I just saw you unhappy."
Shen Xiaoxiao raised his head and glanced at him, then lowered his head and said, "It's been a month, and I'm no different from when I first started doing it. I haven't made any progress at all."
Zheng Chuyang actually guessed that this was the reason for her, so he gently advised her: "The progress in rehabilitation training is not very obvious, it is all done bit by bit, don't worry."
"At this rate, will I be able to stand up in three months? I have no confidence at all now." Shen Xiaoxiao sighed.
"Shen Xiaoxiao, you can't lose your energy just because you have encountered setbacks. How can this be possible? You should become more courageous with every setback and overcome the suffering, so that you can achieve the final victory!" Zheng Chuyang encouraged her.
explain.
Shen Xiaoxiao was silent for a moment and said dejectedly: "I feel like I can't get better."
