After graduating, Qi Yuan returned to F City and found a job at F City Hospital. After working for two years, he was now a doctor in the orthopedic department of the Chinese Medical Hospital.
Qi Yuan was a person who didn't like the quiet. Every day, he would get off work. As time passed by, his mother became impatient.
That night, after dinner, Mama Qi said to Qi Yuan, who was helping to clean up the table, "Yuan Yuan, there are so many female doctors and nurses in your unit, is there anything that's interested in you?"
Qi Yuan, who was wiping the table, said without lifting his head, "Interesting? "What's the point?" After finishing her sentence, she realized what her mother was asking. Although her face was calm, her ears were red.
Qi San, who was standing at the side, said with a smile, "Oh, everyone is here to see, our Doctor Qi is blushing."
Mother Qi said, "Go, stop fooling around. I didn't say anything about you. You're already 26 or 27. Your sister is already getting married at such a young age. Tell me, how many years have you graduated?" You still haven't found a boyfriend, and you're still laughing at Qi Yuan? "
When he found out he had done something stupid, he was so bored that he turned his mother's anger on him, but he still mumbled, "He's not even twenty-five yet. He's not as big as you said he was."
Looking at his calm son and then at his daughter who had her head lowered and her tongue-tied, his mother sighed and said, "Mom is so old. You guys are already so old. If you don't find someone to marry, Mom will be too worried to sleep at night."
Qi said, "Aiya, mom, why are you in such a hurry? When the time comes, I'll find someone close to our home like my big sister, and we'll live near ours. Isn't it like we didn't find a wife for dinner when we go home?"
"Then you still have to find a boyfriend," his mother said.
Qi Yang said, "I didn't find anything suitable. Mom, don't worry, I'll definitely go look for it properly these few days."
After dinner, Qi Yuan liked to walk around the nearby square. This square had been built in the past two years and it was not small. There were square dancers at night, and many parents and their children had come here to play.
It was midsummer and the evening breeze had yet to blow away the day's heat. Qi Yuan found a stone bench and sat down by himself. He looked at the grandpas and grandpas dancing under the lights and thought about what his mother had just said.
It was a very serious matter to find a partner to marry. The person you were looking for had to accompany you for the rest of your life, along with your parents and sisters. What if the one you were looking for was someone who had a bad relationship with your family? Just thinking about it was a very troublesome matter.
Qi Yuan sat on the stone bench and looked at those kids running back and forth. He thought of his sister's little darling, the little darling's grandpa missed his little darling, sister and brother-in-law brought them to live at Uncle Wu's house for a few days, it was really nice not to see them for a few days, when they go home later, let them talk to their mother, give their sister a call and ask, urge them to come home early, the attention of their parents can be transferred, right?
While he was thinking about this, Qi Yuan felt that someone was sitting beside him, so he didn't pay much attention to it. He moved to the other side of the stone bench and continued thinking about it.
Qi Yuan felt that someone was staring at him, he turned around and saw a beautiful girl sitting beside him. Qi Yuan was a pure and innocent child, apart from his own sisters, he had not held hands with any other girls in his life.
The girl beside him burst out laughing, looking at Qi Yuan's slightly red ears, smiling as she continued to stare at him.
Qi Yuan felt his face was burning. Although most of the customers in the company were women, they had never been stared at like this. Just as he was about to leave, the girl laughed and said, "Qi Yuan, you really forget about me because I'm a noble. Why have you forgotten about me after not seeing you for only three years?"
Only then did Qi Yuan carefully size up the pretty girl sitting beside him.
Niu Zi wore a T-shirt, had clean short hair, and a pair of bright eyes under her curved eyebrows looked at him with a smile. Slowly, this bright yet heroic face matched up with the one in his memory.
Qi Yuan said happily, "Aiya, Xu Yunfeng, what a coincidence."
Xu Yunfeng also said happily, "That's right, we haven't seen each other in almost ten years."
Qi Yuan said, "Where are we? Weren't we in the same school in high school? That doesn't count. "
Xu Yunfeng asked, "Then after three years in high school, have you ever said a word to me?"
Qi Yuan touched his hair that he had just tidied up a few days ago, and said embarrassedly, "Yeah, you were in the liberal arts class, but I really didn't say anything. "By the way, what do you do now?"
Xu Yunfeng said, "I studied law in university, and after I graduated, I became a procurator in our city."
Qi Yuan said, "Aiya, I really can't tell. You're still a prosecutor, but I'm in the Chinese Medical Hospital. I'm an orthopedic doctor."
Xu Yunfeng said, "I heard that your family has all moved here. When I have time, I'll go over to your house to see your parents. When we're at school, your family has to help me quite a bit."
Only then did Qi Yuan remember that his mom always cooked more food on the third day of high school, so he secretly brought them to his table. Although the two of them were in the same high school, since they were not in the same class, they were nervous and didn't say anything, so there was no connection after the high school exam.
Even after working for two years, he had never told his colleagues about his situation apart from his work. Being able to meet up with his own classmate in junior high school for three years, he talked a lot more than usual, and only when his mother called to ask him why he was still not home did he realize that it was already past 9, and that the people in the square had all left already.
Xu Yunfeng's residence was not too far from the square. Qi Yuan first sent her to the entrance of the district before heading home.
Qi Yuan's mother would always make Qi Yuan secretly hand over to her when she found out what was going on in her home. Everyone knew that Xu Yunfeng considered herself a person with a strong self-esteem, but she still accepted their kind intentions without a shred of pity or even fear that she would reject it. Those nutritious meals allowed her to not fall down from the weight of her education due to malnutrition, and the results were good, because Qi Yuan had saved her tuition when she went into her university.
As a result, Xu Yunfeng had asked about Qi Yuan through various channels. She knew that Qi Yuan was a good student who had studied hard in university, and she also knew that many of Qi Yuan's female classmates had openly and secretly expressed their feelings to him, but Qi Yuan had remained indifferent. At that time, Xu Yun had been in a very low mood, and Qi Yuan could not accept that he already had a girlfriend. That's right, although Qi Yuan didn't talk much, he had a gentle personality and was sincere to others. It was normal for a twenty-something year old boy to have a girlfriend, right?
After graduating to his hometown and working there, he found out that Qi Yuan's family had moved to F City. Qi Yuan's sisters were all over there, and he secretly visited that district when he was free, and even once saw Qi Yuan's twin sister Qi Su, who was just like a boy. Qi Yuan's grandma was sitting under a pomegranate tree in the yard, picking leek, and the hot spring and summer turns the small courtyard into a blazing fire, and when Xu Yunfeng saw Qi put down her bag, she immediately picked leeks with her grandma.
After officially going to work, there were also people to introduce him to, but their hearts were all occupied by this taciturn but sincere boy and they couldn't accept anyone else. After graduating, Qi Yuan heard that he went to work at the Chinese Medical Hospital and had not had a girlfriend for two years, so he thought of a suitable opportunity to meet him.
Forget about Xu Yunfeng's sweet and bitter thoughts, Qi Yuan was very happy to see Xu Yunfeng again tonight. After graduating from junior high school, he no longer had this self-respecting little girl in his sights. Tonight, he was very excited to meet her.
Upon entering, Mama Qi saw the smile on Qi Yuan's face and asked, "Did you pick up the money? So happy. "
Qi Yuan said, "No. "Mom, I met a junior high school classmate tonight. She was my classmate during junior high school and you even asked me to bring her delicious food."
Mother Qi said, "Oh, I remember now. That little girl's surname is Xu, right? Has she found a boyfriend yet? "
Qi Yuan said embarrassedly, "Aiya, mom, why do you keep thinking about these things? It's the first time I've met him in so many years, how could I ask him that kind of question?"
Mrs Qi said, "You guys are already 25 or 26 years old. You've already finished your university education, found a job, and earned a salary. What else do you think I care about other than your marriage?"
Chee sat watching TV and listening to Mama Chee mumble about it again. He whispered to Qi Yuan, "In two days time, let's go to the hospital to have a checkup. Look, just talk about finding a partner for us all the time. Why does it look like menopause to me?"
Qi Yuan said, "Don't let my mom hear you say that she has menopause. Let her know that if you say so, she will have to wait for you to bring a boyfriend before she can settle it with you."
Qi Yu nodded and said, "Right, that's right. Quickly go back to your room and sleep. Otherwise, your words will only sound more and more wrong."
After a few days, Qi Yuan received a call from Xu Yunfeng saying that he wanted to visit her family.
Qi Shuo and Qin Wei also came to their parents' house at the same time. Now, when Xu Yunfeng walked in, she saw several people looking at her from top to bottom sitting on the sofa.
After eating, Qi Cheng and Qi Yanzheng understood that the lady had taken a fancy to her little brother, and she did not take the initiative to clarify her own words out of modesty. However, after looking at Qi Yuan, she did not seem to have any hidden feelings.
Through asking around for information on Xu Yunfeng, Qi Zheng felt it was good to have a daughter-in-law like her. He found some time and asked his mother, "Mom, what do you think about Qi Yuan's classmate?"
Mama Qi said, "She's a good girl, but Qi Yuan didn't say anything. How about you find them a matchmaker?"
He said, "Is that okay? Mom, how about we first ask for Qi Yuan's opinion, just in case he doesn't intend to go on a blind date.
So, that afternoon when Dr. Qi returned home from work, he was startled when he opened the door. All the female members of the family, from his grandma to Qi San, were sitting in the living room with a large bouquet of alluring red roses on the tea table. Qi Yuan smiled and said, "Oh, who's this? Such a big bouquet of roses, it must be very happy."
Qi Yin giggled and said, "This is for you."
Qi Yuan said doubtfully, "Why would a man like me want this for?"
Mother Qi said seriously, "Source, this is for you to give to Xu Yunfeng. Mom thinks that the two of you grew up together, and both of us know each other very well. The most important thing is that Xu Yunfeng is a good girl.
Qi Yang smiled as he placed the flower in Qi Yuan's arms, then said, "Doctor Qi, you've succeeded." After saying that, he pushed the door open.
Qi Yuan held a huge bouquet of roses and walked out of the residential complex at a loss of what to do. On the way, he met a few neighbors and asked with a smile, "Qi Yuan, are you going on a date with your girlfriend?"
Standing near Xu Yunfeng's dormitory, Qi Yuan was afraid that his request would be rejected. Thinking of that beautiful young figure, he thought to himself, could it be that all these years I've been waiting for Xu Yunfeng's appearance?
Xu Yunfeng, who had received Qi Yuan's call, dashed into the dorm. Seeing Qi Yuan waiting for her with a rose in his hand, she could not believe her eyes. She walked over and asked, "Qi Yuan, what are you doing with this?"
Qi Yuan had stayed here for a long time before he finally called Xu Yunfeng, and he had already thought things through clearly. Seeing Xu Yunfeng come over, he held the flowers up in front of her and said, "Xu Yunfeng, I want to be your girlfriend. I'm the kind of girl that's going to get married. Can you give me a chance?"
As if she had been struck by a pie falling from the sky, Xu Yunfeng could not believe her ears. However, when she saw Qi Yuan holding the bouquet of beautiful roses in front of her, her eyes turned sour, and she choked with emotion as she received the flowers, saying, "Thank you for your flowers, I am very willing."
Thus, the spring of Qi Yuan officially arrived.
