Chapter 1537 New Year’s Eve dinner for three people, Happy New Year
Chapter 1539 New Year’s Eve dinner for three people, Happy New Year
When he came to the unmanned office next to him, Zhou Chen took out all the food from the takeaway.
Today was New Year's Eve, and even though he was spending it alone, he still ordered takeout, but this order cost him more than a thousand dollars, and it was all hard food.
"Six dishes, one cup of coffee per person. Come on, let's drink coffee instead of wine. Let's have one first."
Zhou Chen picked up the coffee, Zhou Xiaofeng also raised the coffee and touched it with Zhou Chen.
"Happy New Year's Eve, and a Happy New Year in advance."
"Again, Happy New Year's Eve and Happy New Year."
The two of them laughed and toasted to each other.
Zhou Xiaofeng was also unusually cheerful: "Well, this dish is good. It looks good and tastes good."
"Yeah, today is New Year's Eve. I specially ordered it. It's a little bit more expensive than usual."
"It's expensive for a reason. We were on duty on New Year's Eve, and other people were working as well, and there were delivery people. It's really not easy when you think about it."
Zhou Xiaofeng expressed emotion that he had long been used to celebrating the New Year alone, but every time he was alone, he still felt lonely.
Zhou Chen said: "When it comes to loneliness, you definitely don't have as much experience as me, but fortunately I'm used to it."
"Really? I'm pretty much the same, and I'm used to it. We have the same problem."
"Haha, we two grown men actually had New Year's Eve dinner together in the emergency room on New Year's Eve. It's a rare sight in the hospital."
There must be a lot of staff on duty in the hospital on New Year's Eve, but there are indeed very few people like them who get together to have such a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner. Most of them just eat one bite.
Zhou Xiaofeng said: "Today we can still sit together and have New Year's Eve dinner. In previous years, I spent it alone."
Obviously his mother and sister live in the same city and are very close to each other, but for many years, he has never spent the Chinese New Year with them, so he only dared to think about it in his heart.
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "There are advantages to living alone. At least you don't have to be so busy. Many people have prepared a lot of things for the New Year. They eat, drink and have fun for many days, which is also very tiring."
"Yeah?"
"Isn't it?"
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Men are such strange creatures. Often, a word or a meal can quickly bring them closer to each other.
"Ding dong!"
Suddenly, a crisp sound came from the door, and then Fang Xiaoran jumped in from the door.
"Takeaway..."
Out of the four words that blurted out, she only said three. When she saw Zhou Chen and Zhou Xiaofeng were eating, the last word was "already" and she couldn't say it anymore.
She had a look of astonishment on her face: "Director Zhou, Director Xiaofeng, why did you get together?"
She was originally going to have New Year's Eve dinner with her mother and her mother's boyfriend today, but she kept thinking about her brother, so she left the dinner early and brought hot drinks to give to Zhou Xiaofeng.
But she didn't expect that her brother, who she thought was lonely, would actually have someone to accompany him and start eating in the office.
Zhou Xiaofeng quickly explained: "Director Zhou happens to be on duty today. These are the takeaways ordered by Director Zhou. We just ate them together. What about you, why did you come to the hospital?"
Fang Xiaoran showed a sweet smile, walked to Zhou Chen and Zhou Xiaofeng, and put down the takeaway in her hand.
"Don't worry about the patient. Come and take a look. I happened to pass by you."
"Passing by?"
Zhou Xiaofeng didn't believe it: "Can I pass by here when I go to the intensive care unit?"
Zhou Chen also added: "Who is passing by and bringing takeout?"
Fang Xiaoran, who was stared at by the two people, jumped up in embarrassment and said softly: "Oh, why don't you tell me if you see through it?"
Zhou Xiaofeng would have done nothing if Zhou Chen was not present, but with Zhou Chen in front of him, Fang Xiaoran's behavior made him a little embarrassed.
Zhou Chen chuckled and said: "On New Year's Eve, my sister specially came to visit my brother on New Year's Eve. She is very loving. Director Xiaofeng, you have a good sister."
"ah?"
"ah?"
In one sentence, the brother and sister were stunned. They looked at Zhou Chen with the same expression, with disbelief on their faces.
"Director Zhou, how do you know about us?"
"It's just you who think you're hiding it well. Next time, ask other colleagues in the department and see how many people didn't guess that you are brother and sister."
The three protagonists in the TV series "Wen Xin" all have poor reflex arcs. Just like Fang Xiaoran did to Zhou Xiaofeng, and always came to Zhou Xiaofeng's side. Anyone who knows a little bit about the world and understands the feelings between people will
You can see something is wrong between them.
There is something wrong between a man and a woman, but they are completely different from their male and female friends. It is not difficult to guess their identity as brother and sister by thinking of their names.
Fang Xiaoran: "Ah, many people have guessed it? But we don't show much intimacy in the department. How did you see it?"
"That's just what you think, let's sit down and eat together."
Fang Xiaoran and Zhou Xiaofeng looked at each other, neither of them expected this result.
He opened the takeaway he brought and took out the drinks.
"Now that Director Zhou knows, I don't have to pretend. Come on, brother, Director Zhou, have something hot to drink to keep warm."
Zhou Chen raised the coffee in his hand and said, "I have it, drink it yourself."
Zhou Xiaofeng asked: "It's Chinese New Year, don't you need to stay at home with her?"
Fang Xiaoran said: "Mom has someone to accompany me, and I have been celebrating the New Year in the hospital since I was a child. I like to lie on the window and watch the fireworks outside. Now they are not allowed to set off, and the New Year atmosphere has faded."
Zhou Xiaofeng looked surprised and wanted to ask a few more questions, but when he saw Zhou Chen was there, he didn't say anything.
While they were chatting, suddenly Fang Xiaoran's cell phone rang. She hurried out and came in with a bag of takeout.
"Takeaway, brother, mommy ordered takeaway, specially ordered for you."
As she said that, she took out all the takeaways and placed them all over the desk.
"Oh, tonight's New Year's Eve dinner is really sumptuous. There are more than a dozen dishes in total."
Zhou Xiaofeng's expression was complicated. He resented his mother for abandoning him, but he also longed for maternal love.
Seeing that Fang Zhuqing still remembered him and ordered takeout for him, although he didn't show it, his mood was very complicated.
Zhou Chen naturally saw Zhou Xiaofeng's pretense, and took the initiative to say: "With the help of Director Xiaofeng and Xiao Ran, we will add more dishes tonight. Xiao Ran, there are tableware here, let's eat some more together."
"OK."
Fang Xiaoran happily took the tableware and sat down to eat with them.
"Well, it's delicious. It's really delicious."
Looking at the happy Fang Xiaoran, Zhou Xiaofeng shook his head and smiled, but said nothing.
After eating, Fang Xiaoran rushed to help clean up.
Zhou Xiaofeng asked: "It's so late and you're not on duty, so you'd better go back first."
Fang Xiaoran said: "Okay, then I won't disturb your work. I'll go to the monitoring room upstairs to take a look, and then go back."
Zhou Chen said: "I also want to go upstairs to the intensive care unit to take a look. Let's go together."
"OK."
Zhou Xiaofeng frowned slightly as he looked at Fang Xiaoran, who was jumping up and down with Zhou Chen and leaving with a happy face.
Although he has no experience in love, Fang Xiaoran is his sister and he has always paid close attention to her. Naturally, he can also see that Fang Xiaoran seems to be a little different towards Zhou Chen.
If Zhou Chen didn't have a girlfriend and was single, he wouldn't say anything, but would be happy to see it happen.
But the problem is, Zhou Chen has a girlfriend. Under such circumstances, he naturally doesn't want to see his sister fall into it again.
At this moment, the emergency room phone suddenly rang. Without caring about anything else, he quickly walked over and answered the call.
Zhou Chen and Fang Xiaoran entered the elevator together. There was no one there today, they were the only two in the elevator.
Fang Xiaoran glanced at Zhou Chen secretly: "Director Zhou, today is New Year's Eve, and your girlfriend didn't spend the New Year with you."
"You also said that you are just a girlfriend. There is no need for my girlfriend to celebrate the New Year with me. She went back to her own home to celebrate the New Year."
"Oh, that's it."
Fang Xiaoran's lips couldn't help but turn up, she was very happy. Today she had New Year's Eve dinner with Zhou Chen. In this regard, she was luckier than Zhou Chen's girlfriend.
"Does Director Zhou have class tomorrow?"
"I have half a day tomorrow morning, rest in the afternoon, and then work the night shift in the evening."
"Ah? Are you still working the night shift?"
"Yes, from the first to the third year of junior high school, I worked the night shift, plus a half-day shift in the morning."
"Isn't this too hard? Who ranks your class, Director Jiang or Dean Cui?"
"I arranged it myself, and it's actually pretty good. There have been no outpatient and emergency visits in the past few days. If no one is around at night, I can sleep most of the time. It's actually much easier than during the day."
There are fewer patients during the Chinese New Year, and there are no outpatient clinics or emergency rooms, so although his working hours are long, he is not very busy, and he is the best at staying up.
"bite!"
The elevator reached the sixth floor.
"Let's go, I'll go to the intensive care unit with you."
Today's intensive care unit is actually not much different from usual times. Ordinary patients may be able to find ways to go home to celebrate the New Year and have a New Year's Eve dinner; but the critically ill patients admitted here do not have this condition.
There are people on duty in the intensive care unit, but there are fewer than usual. Director Wang, head nurse, etc., are not on night duty today.
After Fang Xiaoran saw several of her patients, she didn't stay any longer and went home. Zhou Chen also returned to his office, counting the time to prepare for the New Year's Eve.
New Year's Day.
The hospital today is still much quieter than usual. Many people are on vacation and have not started work yet.
Zhou Chen stayed for another morning. After get off work, he tidied up and prepared to go back.
As soon as she arrived at the elevator, she saw Fang Xiaoran standing in the stairwell, jumping up and down and trying to reattach the Spring Festival couplets that had been dragged off the threshold. However, due to height restrictions, even if she jumped up, she couldn't get it.
Zhou Chen walked over and pasted the Spring Festival couplets smoothly.
"Hey, Director Zhou, are you off work?"
"Are you off work too?"
"Yes, I will be on duty for half a day today, and I am getting off work now. I am going to go back for dinner."
"That's a coincidence. I'm also planning to go back to eat and then have a good sleep."
The two came to the elevator door. As soon as the elevator opened, they saw Lin Yi and head nurse Yu Lingyun.
"Hey, Director Zhou, Xiao Ran, are you going back?"
"Yeah, it's time to get off work."
"Happy New Year, Head Nurse, Happy New Year, Director Lin."
"Happy New Year to you too, Director Zhou, Xiao Ran, I made eight-treasure rice, why don't you go back after eating it?"
"No, head nurse, I'm sleepy and want to go back to bed early."
"Well, Director Zhou has been working for more than 20 hours in a row. It's really hard."
Several people blessed each other, and then Lin Yi and Yu Lingyun went to the office, while Zhou Chen and Fang Xiaoran took the elevator downstairs.
As soon as Zhou Chen drove out of the hospital gate, he saw Fang Xiaoran waiting for the car there.
"Xiao Ran, get in the car and I'll take you back. It's not easy to get a taxi during the Chinese New Year."
"No, I can take the bus."
"Okay, don't wait. It's so cold. If it's not worth it to freeze, just get in the car and I'll give you some gas."
So Fang Xiaoran no longer hesitated, got into Zhou Chen's car, and told her his home address.
Fang Xiaoran, who was usually very talkative, didn't know what to say for a while after getting in the car. Zhou Chen took the initiative to stir up the topic and chatted with her about the patients, and she slowly relaxed and entered her usual state.
There was no silence along the way, Zhou Chen sent Fang Xiaoran to the downstairs of her house.
"Director Zhou, thank you, I'm really sorry to trouble you."
"We're all colleagues. You're welcome. You can go back. I'm going back too."
"Okay, Director Zhou, walk slowly."
Fang Xiaoran waved goodbye to Zhou Chen, and Zhou Chen also waved to her, just as the car started to leave.
"Fang Xiaoran, Happy New Year."
Fang Xiaoran was stunned for a moment and didn't react. It wasn't until Zhou Chen's car was far away that she came back to her senses and a smile appeared on her lips unconsciously.
"Director Zhou, Happy New Year."
Then, she jumped up and down the building singing.
"Today is a good day..."
…………
In the blink of an eye, the Spring Festival holiday was over, and when it came time for the Lantern Festival, Zhou Chen took a day off and spent the Lantern Festival with Chen Yue.
The work in the hospital is still the same, but while eating in the cafeteria, I chatted with Zhou Xiaofeng and others and heard about the follow-up of Qiangwei's incident.
Still the same as in the plot, Qiangwei's fiancé passed away without resuscitation, and then the death of Yang Guilan happened, which made Qiangwei see the meaning of living, so she finally underwent surgery, and the operation went smoothly.
Yang Guilan, Aunt Yang is indeed a good person. During the consultation, Zhou Chen was also there, but it was the patient that Lin Yi and Zhou Xiaofeng were responsible for. In addition, Yang Guilan was in poor condition and was also complicated by acute lymphoblastic leukemia. She was already a god.
Hard to save.
Also because of Qiangwei's interventional surgery, the relationship between Zhou Xiaofeng and Bai Ji became a little more tense. On the contrary, the relationship between Zhou Xiaofeng and Lin Yi became a lot closer after Qiangwei and Yang Guilan's incident.
I started to feel like a good partner.
In the blink of an eye, it was time for Qiangwei to be discharged from the hospital, and then something happened: Hua'er, an old patient who had been in the hospital for several years, was found by his children and took him home from the hospital.
.
As time goes by, Zhou Chen has long been accustomed to the less busy life now, and the overall feeling is still very good.
The only thing he was not satisfied with was that in the past six months, he had only performed less than two hundred surgeries in total, which was barely even an average of one surgery a day.
At this rate, it would really take decades to complete the main mission of 10,000 surgeries, so he decided to find a way to start increasing the number of surgeries he performed.
