windy city rainy season

On the morning of Thanksgiving, Chang Zheng sent his younger brother to the airport to return to New York, while Tao Yu stayed at home to compete with a bald turkey without a neck.In the past, during festivals, I always bought roasted turkey legs from the store. Dr. Chang felt that there was no festive atmosphere. This year, Tao Yu bought a whole chicken and prepared to roast it himself.A turkey weighs at least twenty pounds, and there are only two people in the family. This meal can last from Thanksgiving to Christmas.

When Chang Ling called, Tao Yu was brushing oil into the turkey belly in front of the YouTube tutorial, and pressed the hands-free button, Chang Xiaodi's roar sounded impatiently: "Tao Yu, you never imagined that my brother just did something to me." What! He kicked me out of the car and told me to take the subway to the airport by myself!"

Tao Yu had seen too many battles between the two brothers, so he took it easy and said, "Why did you mess with him?"

"I messed with him?!" Chang Xuan said angrily, "He received a call from the hospital halfway, saying that he couldn't take me away because of an emergency, so he left me at the subway station and left!"

It was a matter of the hospital again, Tao Yu stopped what he was doing, looked at his watch and asked Chang Yao, "Do you know which subway to take to the airport?"

"My brother said that the blue line is at the end."

"The blue line is to Ohare Airport, and you are going to Midway!" Tao Yu really convinced this pair of unreliable and thoughtless, asked Chang Ling where he was, and instructed him to transfer to the subway on the phone.

"...Do you think there is such a brother? My parents used to know how to pay me for a taxi. He said that I am an active military now, and public transportation is free, so let me take it! Subway! Subway! Can you imagine living in How unfortunate is the doctor’s family? My misfortune has to be multiplied by three! They all regard patients as their relatives, and I picked them up! At the beginning, my father wanted me to study medicine, but I firmly disagreed..."

Chang Ling refused to hang up the phone, and complained endlessly all the way, which made Tao Yu want to stuff his head into the belly of a turkey, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, he interrupted: "Your Highness didn't insist that it was out of humanitarian considerations, I can't even imagine that the patient would fall into harm's way." If it is in your hands, it must be how many sins you have committed in your previous life!"

It wasn't until the kid got on the orange line to Midway Airport that Tao Yu hung up the phone with a sigh of relief.There was a message in the voicemail 10 minutes ago. Chang Zheng explained that there was a series of car accidents on Highway 55, and the hospital was short of staff on duty, so all the surgeons who stayed in the city went back to help pick up the wounded.Tao Yu was about to call back when the other party sent another text message: "Sorry honey, will be back home for dinner. Don't call back."

Tao Yu put the phone aside and turned on the TV. The football game between the Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers had just begun.Chang Zheng has been thinking about this game since a few days ago, and agreed to roast a turkey together today, watch the game together, and not go back no matter what happened to the hospital-everytime I said that, I never did it!

It's useless to sulk at the turkey, this brother is miserable enough, Tao Yu reluctantly rolled up his sleeves and sprinkled seasoning on the turkey, wrapped it up and stuffed it into the oven.The tutorial says that a pound of meat is roasted for 10 minutes, and a turkey needs at least six or seven hours.Right now he has nothing to do but wait, he is bored listening to cross talk with earphones, the TV is still on, it seems that the room is not so deserted, as for the progress of the game, he doesn't care at all.

In the afternoon, Tao Yu was awakened by a phone call on the sofa, and was surprised to find that Guo Degang had said that he had fallen asleep.The game between the Bears and Green Bay on TV had long since ended—the fans in Chicago originally applied for a parade permit, planning that if the Bears won the game, they would upgrade Thanksgiving to a city-wide carnival.The street is quiet now, it is estimated that the bear fans have all gone home for the holidays honestly.

The vibration of the phone stopped, and a voice message popped up, it was Tang Hainan who invited him and Chang Zheng to have dinner at home.Tao Yu looked through the communication records in the afternoon, and there was nothing but the holiday text messages sent by a few friends, and there was still no answer to Chang Zheng's cell phone.Sighing helplessly, he called Teacher Tang back and heard that Chen Li was also there, not surprisingly.

"...Green Bay won. This guy has been proud all afternoon. Let Dr. Chang come. I can't control him alone!" Tang Hainan said on the phone.

Tao Yu smiled wryly, thinking that even if Dr. Chang didn't work overtime, he might not be very willing to see Chen Li.He found a reason to decline Teacher Tang's invitation. After thinking about it, he sent a text message to Chen Li alone, thanking him for the advice he gave him last night.That is not just simply changing the experimental protocol, but helping his research jump out of the small framework of CaseStudy and turn to the development of microbial treatment technology.Chen Li was invited by Professor Gruca, and he had no obligation to guide himself, nor did he make any request for it.The more this happened, the more disturbed Tao Yu became. The other party didn't say anything, but he couldn't turn a blind eye to the deep meaning behind it with peace of mind.

A few minutes later, Chen Li sent a small icon of two beer glasses colliding, followed by a sentence: "I have a few books on microbes, I think I can ask for them when I have time."

Tao Yu smiled back.

It was getting late, but there was no news from Chang Zheng. Tao Yu tried to call the hospital, and after being forced to listen to music for 10 minutes, finally a nurse on duty from the surgery answered the phone. I can only promise that Tao Yu will notify Dr. Jason Chung to call home when he sees him.

"...six units of blood... tell Dr. Web to send anesthetist to OR3..."

Tao Yu was about to hang up the phone in disappointment, but suddenly heard a familiar voice in the background, and immediately called to the nurse on duty: "WasthatDr. Chung? Pleaseaskhimtoanswerthisphone!" !)

"HeisheadingtoanOR..." the nurse hesitated. (Translation: He is going into the operating room...)

"Grabhimplese! Ineednomorethan30seconds!"

Tao Yu heard the nurse calling Chang Zheng on the phone, the other party asked a few words, and answered the phone five seconds later.

"ThisisDr.Chung..." (Translation: I am Doctor Chang...)

Tao Yu said nonsense, "When are you going home?"

Chang Zheng's voice changed into a flattering and apologetic tone, and he said quickly, "I'm sorry dear, I really don't have time right now, this is the last surgery, I'll go home after it's done, bye..."

Before Tao Yu could react, the phone had already been hung up—he really overestimated himself, it didn't even take ten fucking seconds!After looking at the phone for a while, he grabbed the TV remote control next to him and threw it to the ground.

"Ding."

The oven just reached the preset time at this time, and he pulled open the oven door as if venting his anger, and deliberately dumped the roast chicken that had been cooking for more than six hours directly into the trash can!Fortunately, the last sliver of sanity was still there. The turkey with golden skin was really attractive against the surrounding vegetables. Tao Yu changed his mind, cut off half a turkey and put it in a food box, took the mobile phone and dialed a number.

"Mr. Tang, are you ready for dinner... right now? Just right, I'll take the turkey there!"
