MTL - The Sweetest Thing In the World-Chapter 29 Embrace

It takes more than an hour to go to the administrative district on the other side of the river from Min Yue's parents' home by subway. Min Yue got up at eight o'clock, arrived home after ten o'clock, opened the door with the spare key, walked into the living room, and saw Min Guangyang slumped on the sofa.

Min Guangyang has short chicken coop hair, big and deep bags under his eyes, and the area around his eyes is so dark that it looks like he is wearing sunglasses. Hearing the movement, he reached out to touch the myopia glasses on the coffee table, put them on, saw clearly that it was his daughter, and said in surprise, "Why did you come back so early?"

"I changed shifts with someone else. I'm on the night shift tonight. I forgot to tell you." Min Yue stuck out her tongue and bent down to get slippers from the shoe cabinet.

"You didn't say it in advance. I just got off the night shift and haven't bought groceries yet. Your mother is going to the clinic today and won't be back until evening." Min Guangyang yawned and scratched his head worriedly.

He is not good at cooking, and he is usually only responsible for buying vegetables, washing vegetables and washing dishes. The chef at home is Min Yue's mother Jiang Hui. The chef is not at home at noon, so the two of them probably can only cook some noodles casually.

Both he and Jiang Hui were busy, and they squeezed out time to do housework, so the house was not tidy. As soon as Min Yue entered the door, she saw a few boxes of mooncakes on the cabinet in the dining room, changed her slippers and walked over, opened the package to see what flavors they had, and said casually, "Dad, go to rest, I will cook at noon. I'll call you when I'm done."

"Okay, I'll lie down for a while. You can ride the battery car to the vegetable market later, I just recharged it." Min Guangyang yawned and went back to the bedroom.

Although Min Yue is the only child who was raised in the palm of her hand, but because her parents are often away from home, she has developed a strong self-care ability since she was a child. After living alone, under the trend of freshness, I honed my cooking skills for a while by comparing recipes with enthusiasm. In her own opinion, her craft is quite mature enough to entertain guests.

The confident new chef rode a small electric donkey around the vegetable market and returned with a full load of ingredients. When he came back, he cleaned and marinated the sea bass, picked out the old leaves of the vegetables and soaked them in light salt water. Next, scald the tomatoes with hot water, peel and cut into pieces, clean the rice, add water and put it into the rice cooker, press the timer, and the ingredients are almost ready.

Throw in shredded scallion and ginger, wait for the water to boil, put the fish plate into the steamer, Min Yue takes out his mobile phone to check the time, after reading it, he clicks on WeChat, takes a photo of Gululu steaming steamer, and sends it to The weather forecast group of the Cardiac Surgery Department showed off their cooking skills, and then typed a paragraph to send it out.

Mingyue near the water tower: [What do you want to eat tomorrow night? Report the name of the dish~]

Heartbreaking Hu Yidao: [How many people are going in total? It's almost the same for one person to report one dish. 】

Deng Sangsang, who wanted to hit the tofu: [There are probably four or five people in our department, Xiao Mingyue, did you invite other people? 】

Mingyue near the water tower: [Then let me ask if Shen Fei is free. By the way, do you want to bring your family with you? 】

The old aunt who just wants to eat cookies: [Family? When did you get out of the singles? ! traitor! Wait and accept the organization's torture tomorrow! 】

Deng Sangsang, who wanted to hit the tofu: [... Is it too late to talk about it now? 】

The news of Deng Sang leaving the singles was too explosive, and the topic was taken off the topic at once. The single dogs in the group cried for a long time before the topic returned to the right track.

Heart-breaking Hu Yidao: [Then there are seven people in total, right? I don’t think you should stir-fry. Some people don’t like spicy food, some don’t like green onions. The tastes are difficult to coordinate. How about eating Yuanyang hot pot? 】

The old aunt who just wants to eat cookies: [No problem, hot pot is lively. Mingyue, do you have an induction cooker and a mandarin duck pot? 】

The mandarin duck pot is such a unique kitchen utensil, most people don’t have it at home... Min Yue replied embarrassingly: [I’ll buy one online, and it will be delivered tomorrow afternoon in the same city. 】

The old aunt who just wants to eat cookies: [Okay, that's it, Lao Hu, you are a strong man, come early tomorrow, and accompany Xiao Mingyue to the vegetable market to buy. 】

Later, you and I agreed who would buy seasonings, who would be responsible for purchasing drinks, and who would bring desserts and fruits. Deng Sang spoke abruptly: [By the way... Xiao Mingyue, have you invited Master Mo? 】

As soon as this remark came out, the lively group froze instantly, and no one spoke for a long time.

Min Yue replied: 【Invited, but my master is on duty tomorrow and cannot come. 】

A group of people immediately thawed out and sent out a bunch of "Scared the baby to death" emoticons. Min Yue looked at it, feeling uncomfortable, and couldn't help but say a few more words: [Actually, my master was not on duty tomorrow night. She knew that Dr. Li had a newborn at home, so she took the initiative to tell him to be on duty for him and let him come back. Home with wife and children. When I invited Master that day, she also said that everyone would feel uncomfortable if she was there, so she stopped coming. 】

One of the purposes of her inviting Xu Mai to the party is to try to increase the distance between Xu Mai and everyone. At first glance, Xu Mai seems a little cold, demanding and difficult to get along with, but after getting to know her well, you will know that she is really nice.

People's prejudices cannot be eliminated in a day or two, and the sense of distance cannot be resolved in a meal or two. Min Yue feels that she has an obligation to help Xu Mai reverse those misunderstandings, even if it takes a few years.

The future is long, Xu Mai said that she will wait for her, she will be with Master for many years, and she will have a lot of time to slowly change everyone's one-sided impression of her.

Feeling a little annoyed, Min Yue closed WeChat after sending that paragraph, before anyone in the group could reply.

Take out the green vegetables, drain and fry them, then fry the tomatoes and eggs, check that it's almost time, turn off the fire and bring out the fish, put out two bowls of rice, and put the meals on the table before Min Yue goes to wake up his father.

Min Guangyang opened his eyes with difficulty, and found that when he woke up, his daughter's face had changed. The sky was clear and bright in the morning, but now it was covered with dark clouds. He quickly asked, "What's wrong? Her face is so ugly."

Min Yue replied calmly, "Nothing."

Min Guangyang thought the child was in a mood, so he didn't ask any further questions, but when he went to the table, he picked up the chopsticks and took a mouthful of food, which was bitter.

The mood of the chef is directly related to the taste of the dishes. Scrambled eggs with tomatoes can be made bitter, which shows how bad the chef is. Min Guangyang frowned, wiped his mouth, and put on a heart-to-heart gesture: "Are you in trouble at work? Did the leader criticize you?"

Min Yue poked the rice unhappily. "No."

Min Guangyang couldn't see her wasting food, so he reached out and took off her chopsticks. "Okay, stop poking, the bottom of the bowl is smashed."

Then he said with a lively atmosphere: "Didn't the lyrics say, 'Talk about the troubles of life to your mother, and talk to your father about work'. Today your mother is not at home, so I will be a guest, and tell me about the troubles of life. ?”

With nothing in her hand to vent her depression, Min Yue cupped her face depressedly, and sighed: "Why do everyone judge others easily without knowing them, and no one tries to get in touch with them. They do this, How heartbreaking."

Min Guangyang took a look at her and saw that she seemed to be just complaining about injustice, not being wronged by being framed, so he knew that what she was talking about was not her own business. "A good friend was gossiped behind his back?"

"It's not a friend..." Min Yue hesitated to say if it would be bad, but she felt that her father admired Master very much and should stand on Master's side, so she said truthfully, "It's my Master."

"You still recognize a master? Does the First Affiliated Academy still have this tradition?"

"It's not... just... the teacher of the special training has changed, and now Xu Mai is taking me." When Min Yue mentioned the name, her eyes brightened obviously, and her voice was full of pride that could not be concealed.

Min Guangyang raised his eyebrows, the name was too impressive. "Xu Mai takes you? Then you have to work hard. This is not an ordinary honor, but quite an honor. I heard that she gave a lecture on total thoracoabdominal aortic replacement after returning from advanced studies?"

Min Yue nodded. "I went to listen. There are many people at the scene, and the dean is also there."

"It's amazing, you're much better than me. You should learn from them well, you know. You have to show twice as much energy as preparing for the college entrance examination." Min Guangyang couldn't help but rubbed his chin with an expression of being overjoyed when he won five million yuan. . "Why does the big cow have time to be your tutor? Maybe it's really a fool's blessing."

Min Yue has black lines all over her head, did she say that her daughter is stupid? Or say it face to face, don't give me any face, dear father?

My father frowned, feeling that this was not an easy matter. "Did you just say that the colleagues in the courtyard said that Xu Mai was not good?"

"My master is great!" The fan girl defended without delaying a second, "It's because they don't understand how good master is!"

Min Guangyang was so startled by this imposing yell that his glasses were crooked. He adjusted the frame, and suddenly felt a sense of a woman's involuntary sentimentality—I had never seen her so righteously indignant when he was being harassed by the doctor!

After thinking about it, I felt that my daughter must still be my own, even if I recognized the master, I would not go to other people's household registration book.

Papa Min thought that he had successfully won the game and regained his confidence, and began to pretend to be serious: "In places with many people, gossip is unavoidable. Xu Mai is young and outstanding, so he is bound to be envied by others. His business ability cannot be compared, so he said behind his back." To slander others with irresponsible remarks, this kind of thing happens in every industry.”

"It's not really a slander..."

"I think back then, I was a good-looking talent, and I caught up with your mother not long after I started working. How many people were jealous of me and excluded me. Didn't I overcome many difficulties and become a backbone?" Min Haohan talked about the courage of the year, trying to use This typical example of myself conveyed to Min Yue that outstanding people will inevitably go through various tests, which is the fate of the strong.

Min Yue's eyes straightened when he heard it, why did he feel that his father was getting younger and younger, especially in terms of thinking, he was not much different from a teenager in middle school.

Min Guangyang's inspirational education and chicken soup for the soul continued until the end of lunch. Min Yue was going back to the hospital to take over in the afternoon, and was ready to leave after washing the dishes.

Before going out, she took out a large supermarket shopping bag from the cupboard, and coquettishly said: "Dad, there are too many mooncakes, you and my mother can't finish them after the expiration date. I'll take some to work and help you share the burden." Downforce okay?"

"Okay, take a few more boxes, share a few for each person, and build a good relationship with your colleagues." Suddenly thinking of something, Min Guangyang stepped on the chair and stretched his arms to open the high cabinet door.

He took out a box of mooncakes, which were obviously much more beautifully packaged, and handed them to Min Yue. "This is good. I don't know what brand or flavor it is. Anyway, your mother said this is the most expensive, so she hid it. Give it to Xu Mai. During the holidays, as an apprentice, you have to show it."

"Thank you, Dad." Min Yue was very happy. Dad took out all the things at the bottom of the box, which shows that he also likes Master very much.

While Min Yue was changing his shoes, Min Guangyang opened the refrigerator and searched around, took out a box of snowskin mooncakes and stuffed them into his shopping bag. "You girls like to eat this kind of food, so take this with you, and remember to put it in the freezer when you arrive at work."

Min Yue responded with a smile, holding a dozen moon cake boxes in her left and right hands, and the door couldn't even be opened.

Min Guangyang opened the door for her, walked to the elevator, pressed the down button, and said earnestly: "Xu Mai is not a few years older than you, right? Learn more from her in business, and help each other in life. Other colleagues and her Alienation, you should care more about her, she has a cold personality, then you should take the initiative, you know?"

"Dad, if you do this, I will have the illusion that she is your own daughter. I picked her up, right?" Min Yue was so happy, she got carried away with complacency, and made jokes without rules.

"If she were my daughter, I would wake up with a smile in my dreams." Min Guangyang glanced at her, and when he saw the elevator arrived, he pressed and held the button for a long time, and only let go when Min Yue, who was carrying too much cargo, moved in slowly and clumsily.

"Dad, then I'm leaving. You tell my mother that you can't eat at home tonight." I haven't been home for more than a month. I had made an appointment for a Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, but I forgot to report the change of the schedule to my family. I was worried that my mother would be missing. Min Yue Some remorse.

Min Guangyang waved impatiently: "Okay, let's go, you don't have to work hard to cook a big meal tonight, your mother should be very happy."

Min Yue: "..."

It's my parents. That's right.

Min Yue, who was carrying a lot of moon cake boxes, frequently attracted the attention of passers-by. Min Yue didn't know why, so she got off the subway, twitched her two thin legs, and walked to the gate of the First Affiliated Courtyard, but was stopped by the guard.

He pushed people out with disgust on his face: "Do you know this is a hospital? You can't sell moon cakes!"

After finishing speaking, he muttered softly: "Medical representatives and people who sell equipment are not uncommon. This is the first time I have met a mooncake seller. It's really fresh."

Min Yue was speechless, did passers-by just now think he was selling mooncakes? Just like chasing lovers to sell flowers on Valentine's Day, and setting up roadside stalls to sell apples at Christmas?

Although selling mooncakes to inpatients during the Mid-Autumn Festival is indeed a new way to make money, but I didn't plan to do so! Please respect my devotion to work and dedication to work when I step into the main entrance of the hospital on time at 7:10 every morning!

Min Yue slandered a few words, poked her neck forward, and raised her face high to show her presence. "Master, I'm a doctor here, don't you recognize me?"

"I don't know!" The doorman answered forcefully.

Min Yue: "..."

Min Yue, who loves her job and works hard, is very sad, and introduced herself sadly: "I am Min Yue from the Department of Cardiac Surgery, and Xu Mai is my master."

"It's useless to move Director Xu out. There are too many people who know Director Xu's name." The doorman performed his duties conscientiously and resolutely refused to let small traders in. "You said you are a doctor here, do you have a work permit?"

"Yes." It's in the locker in the lounge, together with the white coat.

"Take it out and have a look."

can't get it out...

Min Yue, who couldn't wash himself off even after jumping into the Yellow River, could only rely on one mouth, and begged palely: "Master, let me in first, and I'll show you my work card later, okay?"

"No, unless you ask Director Xu to come pick you up, and Director Xu says you are a doctor, so you can go in."

What's the matter... Do I want to lose face if I show Master?

Min Yue put a dozen boxes of mooncakes on the ground, took out her mobile phone and called Deng Sang, who didn't answer, and then called Chen Sitian, who didn't answer. After waiting for five minutes to call again, the two of them seemed to have made an appointment and refused to answer.

Min Yue called Shen Fei again, and this time she heard the shutdown prompt: "Sorry, the phone you dialed has been turned off, please try again later."

For a moment, Min Yue felt abandoned by the whole world.

After a battle between heaven and man, Min Yue resignedly dialed Xu Mai's number and got connected immediately.

"Min Yue?"

Min Yue gave up on herself and said, "Is Master busy? If not, can you come to the main gate and pick me up?"

Xu Mai hung up the phone suspiciously, explained to Corey, and walked to the elevator. Passing through the garden, bypassing the outpatient building, when I looked up, I saw Min Yue squatting under the eaves of the guard room, with a large plastic bag and several small cardboard boxes in front of him.

After walking a few steps closer, I could clearly see the aggrieved expression on her face, her eyes looking pitifully in her direction.

By accident, Xu Mai remembered the cartoon pictures he had seen on Weibo before. In his impression, it was a cute girl with big eyes, squatting in a cardboard box by the side of the road. Holding the side of the box, there was an expectation in his eyes that people couldn't bear to refuse.

At this moment, Min Yue is well-behaved and helpless, just like the little girl in the picture, it is irresistible.

Min Yue blinked her eyes, and suddenly saw Xu Mai, her eyes lit up, and she shook her arms happily. "Master! I'm here!"

Her eyes were dazzling, like the bright night sky lit up by fireworks.

Xu Mai walked up to her, stood still, and looked down at her.

Min Yue raised her two arms and smiled innocently. "Master, come and pick me up and go home."

Xu Mai smiled softly, took her right hand, and pulled her up.

Min Yue squatted for too long, her legs and feet were numb, she stood up suddenly, her calf was weak, and she fell into the arms of the person in front of her unsteadily.

Xu Mai held her right hand and did not let go, while his left arm gently encircled her to prevent her from falling.

Min Yue was stunned, she pressed her face against Xu Mai's neck and did not dare to move, her breath was filled with the faint fragrance of Xu Mai's long hair.

The heartbeat was exaggeratedly fast, thump, thump, thump, like beating a drum. Amid the rapid drumming, she heard someone say in her ear, "Well, I'll pick you up and take you home."

The author has something to say: Min Guangyang: My daughter will not go to Xu Mai's household registration book.

A certain sugar: the flag has been set.

Min Guangyang: If Xu Mai were my daughter, I would wake up laughing in my dreams.

A certain sugar: fulfill your wish.

Min Guangyang:? ? ?
