"Dr. Li, thank you for your hospitality. I ate a lot tonight. I will treat you another day!"

At the entrance of the state-owned hotel, Ding Yuqiu thanked Li Xiangnan gratefully, while Lin Weimin, who was standing next to him, pretended to unlock his bicycle.

"Doctor Ding, you are too polite. I am new to the emergency department and I hope you can give me more guidance. You are my senior!" Li Xiangnan said with a smile.

Ding Yuqiu waved his hand sincerely, "Doctor Li, you are saying the opposite. You should give us more guidance! Okay, you guys should get rid of the alcohol after drinking. Comrade Lin, Doctor Li, I'm leaving first!"

After waving his hand and watching Ding Yuqiu leave, Li Xiangnan turned around and saw Lin Weimin staring into the distance with sharp eyes and smacking his lips.

"Brother Weimin, you didn't drink too much, did you?"

"You're changing the subject, aren't you?"

"..."

The two looked at each other and then smiled knowingly.

Lin Weimin smiled and said, "You are a smart person, you understand everything immediately. Don't play dumb with me! Did Doctor Ding have a crush on you?"

"Brother Wei Min, what are you talking about! She's just a colleague. This is just the first day I've known her!" Li Xiangnan touched his nose with a little embarrassment.

"As for feelings, there is love that grows over time, and there is love at first sight! Who says you can't fall in love with someone on the first day you meet them?"

What Lin Weimin said made sense, but he felt a little embarrassed when he said it, so he had to put his bicycle sideways and head towards the Hongshankou Machine Repair Factory.

"Brother Wei Min, I didn't expect you to be a veteran in the love field. I admire you!" Li Xiangnan laughed and didn't intend to discuss this issue in depth.

After all, Lin Weimin is Lin Chuqiao's second brother, the brother of his wife who has not yet divorced him. She always feels a little uncomfortable when he talks about other women in front of him.

So he looked at Lin Weimin's position in surprise and spat, "Brother Weimin, you are... not going to go back now?"

"You want to chase me away so badly?" Lin Weimin patted his shoulder and walked forward on his own. "So those few glasses of wine I drank with your second uncle just now were wasted? I haven't even visited the place where you live yet. Let's go!"

After a moment of hesitation, Li Xiangnan hurriedly followed him, "Brother Weimin, I've already stayed here, the conditions are pretty good, what else is there to see? It's getting late, why don't you go home?"

"Lesbians aren't afraid to go home alone, so why should I, a grown man, be afraid of being eaten?"

As Lin Weimin spoke, he took off the net bag on his shoulder and hung it back on the handlebars. "Besides, as your second uncle, I don't even know where you live. That's outrageous! I'm just sending you some daily necessities."

Knowing that Lin Weimin was a man who would not easily change his mind, Li Xiangnan sighed, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to him. The two of them walked and smoked leisurely.

"It seems that you have good medical skills. Your colleagues in the emergency department all agree with you!" Lin Weimin said seemingly unintentionally.

"Brother Weimin is joking!"

"Of course not! I'm not blind. When I got off work, the nurses all greeted you, especially Doctor Ding. She praised you so much during the meal and kept telling me how great and knowledgeable you are! I can see that she really admires you, a newcomer."

Lin Weimin blew out a smoke ring, and seeing Li Xiangnan hesitated to speak, he hurriedly said:

"Stop it, being overly modest is just arrogance! There's no need to be so, just be what you are. Medical skills are different from other things, you have to rely on your real ability to make a living!"

Li Xiangnan had no choice but to cover his mouth with the cigarette holder.

"what?"

At this time, the two men had already walked to the vicinity of Li Xiangnan's residence. Lin Weimin saw at a glance a person squatting under the street light, swatting mosquitoes impatiently. As soon as he made a sound, the other person stood up.

"Secretary Cui, it's so late, why are you waiting here? Are you waiting for me?"

Li Xiangnan was also surprised to see the figure. When he was leaving the house after dinner, he turned his head and glanced at the clock on the hotel cash register. It was already past seven o'clock.

In other words, Cui Xingjian had been waiting at his doorstep for almost two hours?

"Xiao Li, I've been waiting for you!" Cui Xingjian smiled and walked to the warehouse door carrying a bag of things.

"I ran into Old Sun from the security department this afternoon, and I learned that he had bought you a coal stove. I thought it was useless for you to have a stove, as you wouldn't even be able to make breakfast tomorrow morning. So after work, I went to the coal shop and bought you two and a half kilograms of coal. I don't have many tickets, so don't think it's too little..."

Lin Weimin was stunned and opened his mouth in surprise, surprised that Li Xiangnan was so respected.

Li Xiangnan's heart also warmed up, and he quickly took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it over, "Secretary Cui, you are so thoughtful!"

"Hey, you're new here and your family is in a faraway county. As an administrative officer, I should take care of you, the talented people who have left your hometown! This isn't a very valuable item, so keep it!"

Cui Xingjian smiled, smoked a cigarette, and slapped the mosquitoes on his legs with his big hands.

Although coal briquettes are not expensive, they are also extremely important supplies, and each household still has to purchase a fixed amount of them every month.

He would never dare to buy this thing using the name of the factory doctor. It must be the share in his own account. If he gave some away, there would naturally be less for his family to use.

But he still chose to do it, under the pretext of taking care of the talents who left their hometowns...

But there are many people who have left their hometowns in the factory, why doesn't he take care of others?

Everyone has two sides, and we cannot simply judge a person's goodness or badness based on one thing.

Cui Xingjian felt embarrassed about it at first, but after Li Xiangnan saved his face, the little things that happened later also demonstrated his sincere respect for Li Xiangnan.

People are all for each other.

"Lao Cui!" Looking at this man in his thirties, Li Xiangnan patted his shoulder without calling him by his distant title and quickly unlocked the door.

"You've been waiting for almost two hours. You must be starving. Come on, come inside. I'll steam some white rice for you!"

“Don’t do that!” Cui Xingjian shook his hand and laughed, “That’s too formal. My family is still waiting for me. My daughter won’t eat well if she can’t see me! If you are busy, I will go back first!”

After saying that, he waved his hand, nodded briefly to Lin Weimin, and left quickly.

"This Old Cui!" Li Xiangnan sighed, shook his head and pushed open the door, "Brother Weimin, please come in, there are too many mosquitoes outside!"

Lin Weimin nodded, turned around and glanced at Cui Xingjian's hurried appearance, then stepped into the house, put the net bag on the table, and was stunned when he saw the furnishings in the house.

The red brick house retains its original rough appearance. Under the gray wall, several square meters of space near the bed are covered with newspapers.

Although the floor was made of cement, it was worn out by the years and had become bumpy. Even the feet of Li Xiangnan's bed had two wooden pads to maintain balance.

There were two tables, one big and one small, three or four benches, and two rotten cabinets in the room.

He noticed that the bed was made from a converted cabinet, with a bedding roll and a mat on top, making it completely uncomfortable.

All the furniture smells old and rotten.

If Li Xiangnan hadn't kept the house spotlessly clean, he would have almost thought it was a refugee house.

Li Xiangnan lives in a place like this?

Lin Weimin's throat tightened, his nose felt a little sour, and the big man's eyes actually turned slightly red.
