Chapter 121 Return
Unexpectedly, they actually brought back a wooden barrel for her. Although the barrel was not as big as a water tank, she was usually alone, so this size was just right for her.
"Thank you so much, how much is this? I'll give you the money."
"Don't be in a hurry. Just sort out your things first and we'll go over there to help." Zhao Congyi didn't say no. He always said there was no hurry, but he always had a reasonable reason to delay.
Gu Wan just remembered that Fang Ping was still cooking. She had called them to eat, so it was impossible for her to just go there at dinner time and eat.
A few people carried some things, opened the small door and went in.
When they came over, Fang Ping was the only one working hard in the kitchen. When she saw them coming, her eyes lit up.
"Oh, you guys are finally here. If you don't come, we might not have lunch today."
Other members of the medical team went to help. Today we were seeing elderly people, so the examination was a bit troublesome and it would take more than a short while to finish.
So no one came to help Fang Ping, and Fang Ping had to cook alone in the kitchen.
Hearing Fang Ping say this, Zhao Congyi and Lin Huai looked at each other, rolled up their sleeves, and said to the people around them:
"I'll go check out the front!"
He spoke to Gu Wan, but Gu Wan didn't look up and didn't realize that he was talking to her. Seeing that Gu Wan didn't look at him.
Zhao Congyi put down the things he brought and said hello to Fang Ping. Fang Ping wanted him to take the things back, but she was frying fish at the time and didn't have the time to turn it over.
"Wen Yin, please sit here for a while and help Doctor Fang. I'll go over and take a look first. I'll come and call you if I need anything."
Gu Wan stood there, pretending not to hear what Zhao Congyi said, walked in and started looking for something to do.
The people next to me were talking and didn't notice this side.
When Zhao Cong saw this, he glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze indifferently and walked towards the infirmary with his long legs.
"Go quickly. If you are too busy, tell me."
Lin Huai nodded to show that he understood. Xu Wenyin then retracted her gaze and walked to Gu Wan's side, asking if there was anything she needed help with.
After they hurried out, the door was knocked again soon. Xu Wenyin thought it was them confirming, so she immediately washed her hands and went to open the door.
Gu Wan and Fang Ping were also busy with their work, but their ears were paying attention to the movements at the door.
After a while, a voice was heard saying, "It's really nothing. We just came to see if there's anything we can help with."
After saying that, Zhu Suxia walked inside on her own.
As he walked, he rolled up his sleeves. Xu Guizhen, who was following behind him, also smiled and pushed aside Xu Wenyin, who was embarrassed and at a loss.
"Hey, Dr. Xu, please don't be polite. You are serving the people, you can't go hungry."
As they were talking, they arrived at the kitchen door and saw the chicken being fried in the pot at first glance.
After work, they originally wanted to try their luck in the infirmary, but it was so crowded that they couldn't squeeze in, and the doctors inside were all busy.
They couldn't get in and were about to leave when they smelled the aroma of cooking coming from Fang Ping's house.
The infirmary was originally built next to the gate, and the kitchen was not far from the gate, only about ten steps away. The smell of the meat was overbearing, so how could it be resisted?
So there was the knock on the door scene at the beginning. Looking at the shiny chicken in the pot, the two swallowed their saliva and with difficulty moved their gaze away from the chicken to look at Fang Ping who was cooking.
"We just arrived at the infirmary and heard that you were busy, so we thought we'd come over to lend a hand." She smiled, and without waiting for Fang Ping to speak, she squatted down and helped pick the vegetables.
Only then did he notice Gu Wan who was washing vegetables, and smiled at her, "Gu Zhiqing, you are here too!"
Gu Wan pursed her lips, hummed lightly, and looked past them at Xu Wenyin behind her, who seemed to be hesitant and looked very embarrassed.
Fang Ping came to the rescue in time:
"Thank you both very much."
"Oh, it's no trouble, no trouble." Having said that, Xu Guizhen and Zhu Suxia started to work efficiently.
After all, this was in someone else's home. Although Gu Wan didn't like these two people, she couldn't say anything. But with them joining in.
Stir-frying was indeed faster, and the rice was simmered in a large wooden barrel placed on the iron pot.
Just be careful not to let the fire go out, but the dishes are a bit troublesome. There are more than a dozen people to cook for, plus Zhu Suxia and Xu Guizhen who came uninvited, there are almost twenty people.
Although Zhu Suxia and Xu Guizhen were not good people, they were very efficient at work. After several people worked hard, they finally cooked all the dishes before twelve o'clock and served them on the table.
As there were a lot of people, they specially moved the small table from Gu Wan's side, and thus set up two tables in the main room.
After the dishes were served, Xu Wenyin took the initiative to go to the front and call people to come and eat.
Everyone needs to take a break at noon. Doctors are also human beings, it is impossible for them not to take a break. They have been here helping with examinations at noon.
It just so happened that the branch secretary and team leader had also considered this problem, and at around 11 o'clock they started to notify people to come back in the afternoon.
When Xu Wenyin arrived, they were just packing up. Seeing the branch secretary and the team leader were there, Xu Wenyin called them over to have dinner together. This was what Fang Ping had mentioned before she came over.
Both the team leader and the branch secretary refused. The meal should have been theirs, and it would have been fine if they didn't treat us, but there was no way they could go to Fang Ping's house to eat for free.
After waving his hand to refuse, he ran away. Anyway, he had said everything he needed to say before. He could just ask other people to come for the examination at two o'clock in the afternoon.
On the other side, after the dishes were placed on the table, Fang Ping and Gu Wan were doing the final finishing work in the kitchen, putting things away and arranging them neatly.
Zhu Suxia tucked the fallen hair behind her ears and said, "Doctor Fang, we will go back first!"
Gu Wan's hands kept moving, but Fang Ping put down what she was holding, stood beside them and advised:
"Why go back? I'm afraid there's no food at this time. Why don't you stay and eat together?"
Zhu Suxia and Xu Guizhen both secretly suppressed the curled corners of their lips, swallowed with difficulty, and put on an embarrassed look on their faces.
"This is not good. You are treating us," she said hesitantly, but her eyes could not help but glance at the table. Fang Ping pretended not to notice her little action and continued to persuade her with a smile:
"It's okay, it's okay. Stay and eat something. We've prepared a lot of food today. It will definitely be enough."
"Xiao Xia, since Dr. Fang has called, why don't we stay and eat something?"
