Chapter 21
"This weekend, the sun is so bright, Boss Cao didn't invite you?"
Fang Rui held Jiang Tao's arm in Emerald Lake Park, blinking ambiguously.
Jiang Tao: "He always picks me up when I'm off for a whole day, and he has a night shift tonight."
"That's really considerate, so what's the progress this week?"
"Just chat a few words."
Fang Rui: "Can't you? He went to help grandma kill fish last weekend, I thought you two would make a big progress this week, hold hands or something."
Jiang Tao: "How could that be so fast?."
Fang Rui: "fast, not counting the first time the two of you ate, but counting from the second time you agreed to try with him, the two of you have known each other for a month, and some blind date men ate three meals in a row , Dare to talk about cook rice, Boss Cao is so aggressive that even grandma can handle it. I thought he would be more daring towards soft peaches like you. "
Jiang Tao was flustered by what she said, but fortunately...
"He's not that kind of person."
Apart from Cao An's wolf-like face, his speech and actions are very polite, and he doesn't know how to say anything that is even slightly off the mark. Will not intentionally touch her body. Even, if Cao An hadn’t always insisted on car pick-up and drop-off, just looking at the wechat records of the two of them in the past week, the whole article was only "I'm here" and "Okay, see you later" and other unnutritious conversations, their relationship would be even worse. Like a taxi driver and a passenger, rather than a familiar blind date.
Fang Rui smirked twice, and pulled her to a place where there were few people, so as to whisper: "Boss Cao is not that kind of person, so if he kisses you suddenly tonight, will you be disgusted?"
Jiang Tao's face became even hotter. She wanted to shake off her good sister's arm in disgust: "Why do you always think about this?"
Fang Rui stuck to her like a Band-Aid: "I'm helping you analyze your feelings."
Jiang Tao covered her ears to escape.
Fang Rui: "Although you don't want to say it, I already understand it through your attitude, hehe!"
Jiang Tao ran to the lake to watch the waterfowl.
Fang Rui: "Hey, mandarin ducks are only seen by those who have a partner. A single like me can't stand this."
Jiang Tao: ...
Isn't that just a pair of wild ducks? What are mandarin ducks!
In the afternoon, Jiang Tao slept for more than four hours, got up at 5:30, and had dinner with grandma.
Cao An stopped outside the window on time at seven o'clock. At this time, grandma had already gone out. As the weather got warmer, the old men and women became more enthusiastic about dancing in the square.
Jiang Tao locked the door.
Cao An stood in front of the black off-road vehicle, saw her, went around and opened the co-pilot's door.
He often does this, but Jiang Tao walked over step by step tonight, but Fang Rui's teasing came to mind inexplicably, she understands Bidong, what is Chedong? Put someone on top of the car?
Not to mention, the roof of Cao An's car was as high as him, and it was almost as tall as a wall in front of Jiang Tao.
Jiang Tao believed that she did not show these messy emotions on her face.
But the little nurse in Cao An's eyes was still as stiff as when they first met each other. Her black and moist eyes looked left and right, but she didn't dare to look at his face.
As he got closer, Cao An could understand her nervousness as she watched her reach the top of his neck.
With his height and his face, she was brave enough to agree to contact him.
"I met my cousin today, and she asked me if I was still chasing you, and I said yes."
After getting in the car, Cao An raised the topic.
Jiang Tao was not surprised: "Many colleagues have bumped into you to send me off, Teacher Wang must have heard of it."
Cao An: "Did she ask you anything?"
Jiang Tao smiled, and said to the car window: "She asked if you are still pestering me, if yes, she will help to solve it."
Cao An didn't ask her how she answered, and chatted about Hua: "My mother's over there raised two pots of peonies, and two have already bloomed . There should be more peonies in the botanical garden. Do you want to go and see it the day after tomorrow? Bring grandma." And now that most of the trees have returned to green, the botanical garden will only attract more visitors.
Jiang Tao: "Okay, I'll ask grandma later."
After sending Jiang Tao off, Cao An drove to the old man's side.
It was just eight o'clock in the evening, and the old man was still walking in the garden, followed by a border shepherd with black and white hair, and immediately ran over when he saw Cao An.
Cao An rubbed the top of Bian Mu's head.
The old man: "It's late at night, why did you come here suddenly?"
Cao An: "I'm busy during the day, so I will talk to you sooner or later."
The old man: "Busy chasing your girlfriend? Then you can be busy, I don't need you."
Even grandson doesn't like to talk very much, and he took a fish away suddenly last week, and the old man guessed it more or less.
Cao An did not deny it either.
The old man: "Our family is all decent people, and you chase after them in a serious manner, and don't learn from those who are not serious. Your father is an example. He offended your mother badly at the beginning, and it took two years to catch up with him."
Cao An "I know."
The old man woke up at six o'clock the next day, and stood on the balcony, just in time to see his grandson running from the road outside, wearing a black sportswear, with long arms and legs, and his young and strong body made him remembered when he was young.
The old man was feeling emotional when he suddenly saw his grandson stop, covering his right lower abdomen with one hand, no pain could be seen on his face, but finally he gave up running and walked back.
"Are you all right?" the old man asked downstairs.
Cao An: "It's okay, it will be fine in a while."
After he came out of the shower, the symptoms of abdominal pain disappeared.
At eight o'clock, he picked up Jiang Tao from the night shift at the hospital, and made an appointment for tomorrow's departure, and Cao An drove to the construction site.
The stomach hurt twice again, it was not serious, and Cao An didn't take it seriously.
In the botanical garden, Jiang Tao and Cao An sandwiched grandma between them, strolling slowly.
With grandma around, Jiang Tao relaxed a lot, while Cao An mainly acted as the photographer of the grandparents and grandson.
Because of his height, Cao An either bent over or squatted to shoot. This time when he squatted down, the feeling of abdominal pain reappeared.
Cao An didn't change his face, and even took grandmother and granddaughter to the shopping mall for lunch, but sent them back to the Heping Community. Cao An went straight to the hospital without further delay.
After a series of examinations, the doctor came to a conclusion: "Chronic appendicitis. According to your case, there was an acute appendicitis in October last year. At that time, conservative treatment was used. Now it is the same. I suggest that it is best to remove it."
Usually patients may hesitate
After a while, Cao An was silent for a few seconds, and asked: "When can I have surgery?"
The doctor tapped a few times on the keyboard, and replied: "Come over to the hospital tomorrow, do some tests, and arrange surgery on Thursday."
Cao An returned to the old man with the hospital slip. By the side, he said it again in the family group.
Cao's father's attitude is similar to that of the old man: minor surgery, it is better to have it cut, and there will be no future troubles.
Cao Ma: Do you want Mom to come back and accompany you in bed?
Dad Cao: He is thirty, not three, why didn't you accompany me to bed when I was hospitalized?
Mama Cao: People are valuable with self-knowledge.
After the couple had finished arguing, Cao An said: No, at most I need help on the day after the operation, and Uncle Wang will accompany me.
Uncle Wang is the old man's full-time driver. He is forty years old and very reliable in every way.
Mama Cao, Papa Cao: I'm out of town, you should go to the hospital to see Xiaoan.
Dad Cao: Xiaoan, it's thanks to you that you can still scream.
The couple fought again as if no one was watching.
Cao An put away his phone.
The night passed, and the sky was bright again.
Sitting in the living room, Jiang Tao heard the sound of parking outside, and went out directly with the breakfast snacks prepared by her grandmother.
It was still a familiar black off-road vehicle, and Cao An was also standing in front of the vehicle, but there was an unfamiliar uncle in the driver's seat.
Cao An glanced at the kitchen, and explained in a low voice: "This is Uncle Wang, he sent me off today."
Jiang Tao didn't understand very well, and nodded to the kindly smiling Uncle Wang, she followed Cao An to the back row, and then asked curiously: "Where are you going?"
Cao An looked at her and said, "Appendicitis, diagnosed yesterday afternoon, hospitalized today, surgery tomorrow."
Jiang Tao was stunned, her eyes fell on his right abdomen: "Then, what about you these two days? Aren't you feeling well?"
He actually endured the pain of appendicitis and accompanied them to visit the botanical garden? You're going to have an operation today, so you still want to come pick her up?
Cao An: "Fortunately, it didn't hurt that much at the time."
Jiang Tao didn't even know what to say.
The hospital will arrive soon, Jiang Tao will go to the inpatient department to hand over, Cao An still has to go through the process, with Uncle Wang accompanying him, Jiang Tao doesn't need any help.
Inpatient department on the fifth floor.
The head nurse, Wang Haiyan, chatted with Jiang Tao alone and quickly: "Cao An is hospitalized today, and you happen to have a vacant bed at your side, can I arrange it for you?"
Jiang Tao didn't think so much, and quickly agreed: "Yes, it doesn't matter ."
Cao An was her blind date outside, but he was just a patient in the hospital, and Jiang Tao would not give him any special treatment.
Wang Haiyan raised her eyebrows: "It's really okay?"
This repeated question suddenly reminded Jiang Tao of one thing, and her face turned red immediately: "Why don't we change..."
Wang Haiyan didn't give her a chance to finish, and patted her on the shoulder encouragingly: "Very well, I knew you were stable enough to set an example for those intern nurses."
In Jiang Tao's expression struck by lightning , Wang Haiyan walked away with capable and quick steps, and continued to lead today's work.
Jiang Tao is also very busy. During routine busy routines such as drips, injections, checking the recovery of the wound, following the doctor's ward rounds, etc., Cao An has been left behind for the time being.
Until the patients in the 01 bed of the 8th ward she was in charge of were discharged from the hospital, Cao An came to the hospital as a new patient.
Jiang Tao put on the mask ahead of time.
In the non-susceptible department of the inpatient department of general surgery, doctors and nurses do not need to wear masks during ward rounds. Masks must be worn only when performing certain operations. In addition to the consideration of the facial comfort of the doctors and nurses, it is also to appease the emotions of patients and family members. Many patients and family members are concerned about their condition. When asking questions, they will closely watch the nurse's expression. The nurse's expression is relaxed, and the patient will feel relieved.
On a blind date, Jiang Tao has been able to get along with Cao An more comfortably, at least she can bear Cao An's gaze on her, as long as she doesn't look at him.
But when she thought that she was destined to prepare Cao An's skin for surgery today, Jiang Tao couldn't control her blushing when facing him again, so she could only borrow a mask.
nurse station.
As soon as Cao An appeared, he attracted the attention of almost all the nurses and patients walking around. Nurses who recognized Cao An immediately started gossiping.
The black boss is certainly scary, but when the black boss can provide a super interesting big melon, then the people who eat melons will not be afraid.
Jiang Tao's earlobes were reddened by the enthusiastic gaze from her colleagues eating melons, and she handed Cao An a form almost numbly, asking him to fill it out.
Cao An glanced at her earlobe, and asked in a low voice, "Did I cause you trouble?"
Tong City is a small city, and the Tong City No. 1 Hospital is also the only tertiary hospital in the local area. As a patient, Cao An subconsciously chose to look here.
Jiang Tao shook her head.
It has nothing to do with him, this is a test of her professionalism!
