Wang Ting came early in the morning.
Li Li's clinic opened at seven o'clock in the morning, and there was a queue at six o'clock. Grandparents who don't have to take care of their children themselves sit at the door of the clinic with a small bench and occasionally chat with other patients' families.
She was holding a four-and-a-half-year-old Lele, and there were already more than ten people in front of her when she took a taxi here. Le LeCo burned forty degrees, and ate ibuprofen twice in the night and did not come down.
Li Li sat behind a half-old writing desk with a cotton swab bag, a small flashlight, and a prescription note on his left hand. He wore a mask and only showed somewhat deep eyes. Seeing him, Wang Ting let go of half of her heart.
People say that children also recognize doctors. Le Le had a cold before, spent more than a thousand in the hospital and could not be cured, and took medicine here for two days. Since then, no matter whether Lele is seriously ill or not, she has identified this place.
Le Le whispered softly in her arms, sometimes crying, already soft. Wang Ting was very anxious in her heart, but she could only wait slowly. She adjusted her posture and let the child change her shoulders, and she was so loose that her already somewhat numb arms were loose. At this time, there was a man who wanted to cut in line in front of Wang Ting.
"Hey," Wang Ting barely freed a hand to stop him: "My child has a high fever, please don't cut in line." ”
"Who cut in line?" The man glanced at Wang Ting, noticing that she was a person, and her arrogance was even more arrogant.
"You're just in line!" Wang Ting's anger burst out: "My child has a high fever, I just don't allow you to join this team!" ”
Her voice was hoarse, with the sleepiness and anxiety of a sleepless night, and she was eager to kick at this man. The people in the queue were silent, their eyes burning, looking at them.
She knew what they were thinking.
- How this woman is so strong.
- This woman is a shrew, right?
After the divorce, she lived alone with her children, wrapping herself in a cold and hard shell little by little on days when there was no one to comfort. She didn't think of herself as a woman, she was really tough.
Wang Ting did not dodge or hide, staring at the man like a beast, not giving in.
"How many degrees to burn?" The man who cut in line was also stunned by her and asked.
"It's almost forty-one." Wang Ting replied, her eyes still cold.
The man pursed his lips, with no intention of letting go. Suddenly, a voice came from the front: "You are an emergency, come directly." ”
It was Li Li who heard the argument.
There was already a man sitting on the small bench in front of him, and he quickly moved up. Wang Ting held the child forward and thanked her all the way.
"Untie the blanket." Li Li looked at her as a reassurance and placed the stethoscope on Lele's chest. His auscultator head was wrapped in a layer of cotton cloth all year round to prevent too cold ice to the child.
Wang Ting began to state her condition. When the fever starts, take the medicine several times, the maximum number of degrees, the minimum to a few degrees. Li Li nodded as he listened, and then took the cotton swab and pressed Lele's tongue and looked at his throat. He moved quickly, and before Lele could wake up and cry, the cotton swab in his hand had already been taken out and thrown away.
"It's the flu." Li Li said: "At present, the bronchi and lungs are fine, you don't have to worry. Fever will not burn the brain, but beware of convulsions. ”
He spoke softly, elaborated on some dietary taboos, and reminded Wang Ting not to take the child out. After opening the prescription, he pushed Wang Ting a business card: "If the child has any situation, feel free to call." ”
At night, Lele started to burn again, measuring 38.5 degrees several times. She knew that she should take fever reducers above this temperature, so if she just got stuck at this temperature. Seeing the child whispering in her sleep, she opened her phone to text Li Li.
I sent a message to remember that it was one o'clock in the morning, and I was afraid that the doctor would not reply. Unexpectedly, the mobile phone screen had not yet darkened, and Li Li's message came.
"No, it's not cold to touch the child's feet. If it is cold, it may have to be burned again, and if it is warm, it can be assured. ”
Lele's feet were warm, and Wang Ting relaxed her heart.
She hurriedly reported the results to the doctor, remembering that it was not polite to disturb the doctor in the middle of the night, and apologized by the way.
"It's okay, my daughter is also burning, and she is physically cooling her down."
"Really? Is the child okay? ”
"It was also the flu, which was infected in kindergarten. Children are sick is a process of self-building immunity, you don't have to be too anxious, rest quickly. ”
The mobile phone screen darkened, Wang Ting lay quietly in the night, turned over and touched the silk pajamas around her waist, and somehow, a string in her heart seemed to be plucked.
If she were to remarry, she needed a man so gentle.
A month later, Lele's kindergarten held a flea market. Children spread newspapers everywhere on the ground as stalls, and put on all kinds of small things to sell in a decent way. Lele's stall was cold and clear, Wang Ting saw a stall crowded with people, she took Lele to see, and saw a person in the crowd.
It was Li Li, who accompanied his daughter to set up a stall.
The four- or five-year-old girl named Yanyan crossed her waist, pointed to the exquisite animal sculptures on the ground, and looked proud: "This is all made for me by my father, if you want to buy it, you will line up, and if you cut in line, don't buy it." ”
Li Li squatted down beside his daughter and spoiled the little girl's already hairy hair. When she looked up, she saw Wang Ting staring at him, and her eyes instantly lit up: "It's you, such a coincidence." ”
"What about the child's mother?" What an ordinary inquiry this was, but it was sandwiched in Wang Ting's carefully hidden mind.
Li Li stood up, brushed aside the small heads that were crowded together, stood next to Wang Ting, and said softly, "Two years earlier." ”
The word "gone" has multiple meanings, either dead or divorced. Either way, he's single now. Wang Ting looked at the little girl who was humming on the surface, and for a moment she was a little distressed.
The flea market will last a long time, and the two men pace to a tree with velvet red flowers to chat. Wang Ting first praised Li Li's medical skills, but she didn't expect Li Li to blush. He said that he saw Wang Ting lose her temper that day and thought she really had a character.
Since the divorce, Wang Ting has taken her son alone and called herself a man. On the surface, she demanded that she get rid of her gender consciousness and not fall behind on the outside. But deep down, she is still a woman who needs to be considered.
As she spoke under the flower tree, she looked down at the corner of her skirt, and the taupe-colored pleated skirt flickered and slapped on her calf, leaving a small piece of beautiful figure on the ground. When I looked up and spoke back, I saw that Li Li's eyes also fell on her shadow.
For the first time in four or five years, she thought she was beautiful.
After the end, the children took the new toys they bought and the small coins they got from selling toys, and they quarreled at the school gate. Li Li carried her daughter to the car and locked her firmly in the car seat.
Wang Ting stood not far away, heard the car seat snap "click", felt a heavy thing in her heart fall, startled a ripple.
He was hesitating whether to leave, when Li Li suddenly turned around and asked, "Can I call you?" Because it was hard work to muster up enough courage, his face was covered with fine sweat, shining golden in the sun.
The next day, Li Li asked her to go out and sit down, and Wang Ting dressed up. The two went to see a movie like they were in love, the movie was very boring, Li Li tentatively held Wang Ting's hand in the middle, and Wang Ting did not avoid it.
He was so gentle that he even helped her blow soup during dinner. Wang Ting's ex-husband is a hot temper, and the two people will quarrel from time to time. Now for the first time, she saw that men can also be so gentle and affectionate.
When they were separated, Li Li sent Wang Ting to the door of his home and said, "Actually, I want to ask you for a favor." ”
Wang Ting already regarded him as a boyfriend in her heart, and when she heard him say this, she nodded her head boldly: "What's the matter?" ”
"Yes," Li Li showed her WeChat, opening a message record called "Ye Mang", which was one after another that Li Li rejected.
"Harassed?" Wang Ting smiled in her heart, if she was so harassed, it was estimated that she would immediately call the police. Li Li was soft in nature and only wanted to ask for help.
"This is a sick number for me before, it's not easy, she may have a little feeling for me, but you see, it's all early in the morning to send me messages, how can I rest." Can you... Hmmm..." He weighed the tone: "Give her a call and tell her you're my girlfriend and tell her not to harass me?" ”
This is a trivial matter, Wang Ting wondered if Li Li was using this way to confirm her identity? Her heart was warm, and she nodded and said, "Push my business card to me." ”
Wang Ting went back and added Ye Mang's WeChat and sent a voice to Ye Mang: "Who are you, I told you that I am Li Li's girlfriend, if you harass Li Li like this again, I will go to your company to make trouble." ”
With her usual toughness.
There was a long silence over there, and a strong voice said, "You don't have to take care of my business with him." ”
Wang Ting immediately sent a video call to see if she dared to answer. Sure enough, Ye Mang refused the call.
"It doesn't matter to you." She sent another sentence.
Wang Ting felt that she had fallen behind, and viciously made up for it: "If you want to harass Li Li in the middle of the night, I will also harass you in the middle of the night." ”
The message can't be sent out, it has been blocked.
Like a warrior who is good at fighting, wang ting finds the enemy hiding in the trench, and Wang Ting is depressed. Fortunately, her relationship with Li Li quickly warmed up, and after a while, Li Li invited her to sit at home, and naturally, the two rolled together.
He was gentle, well-paid, filial to his parents and with children, and everything was perfect.
Wang Ting was immersed in the sudden love of some confusion, a few days after Li Li's clinic to buy a Beckman blood tester, Li Li said that the price is high he is a bit overwhelmed, Wang Ting directly transferred him twenty thousand pieces.
On the weekend, Li Li had to work overtime, Wang Ting took Le Le and Yan Yan to the Happy Garden to play, someone at the door sold balloons, Yan Yan pulled Wang Ting to buy, suddenly pointed to the woman who sold balloons and said: "Aunt Ye! ”
Could it be Ye Mang? Wang Ting looked over, Ye Mang looked over, and the two people instantly understood each other's identities.
The balloon still had to be bought, and Wang Ting scanned the QR code to pay and confirmed Ye Mang's identity. The enemy appeared again, but it didn't seem to make people feel fighting. Her hair was disheveled, she was holding dozens of balloons in her hands, and she looked simple, and she didn't look like a harasser.
"Are you Lee Lee's girlfriend?" Ye Mang looked at her obliquely, pulling out two balloons for the children as he watched. Afraid that the balloon had run, he carefully tied a small stick.
Wang Ting nodded carelessly and pulled the child to leave. Ye Mang suddenly said, "You invite me to sit down, and I will tell you something." ”
Asked to be a guest, the other party is such an identity, Wang Ting wanted to flick her sleeves away, but saw Ye Mang's expression.
That look was a few points of self-satisfaction and a little bit of schadenfreude, in short, very condescending.
"Okay." Wang Ting gritted her teeth: "Just McDonald's." ”
McDonald's sat idly and didn't want money, and Wang Ting made up her mind not to spend money on this woman.
While the children were eating fries and fiddling with new toys, Ye Mang took out the water cup he had brought with him and took a sip, saying, "Why do you think I harassed Li Li?" He owed me fifty thousand dollars and didn't pay it back. ”
The fries in Wang Ting's hand were pulled down, and the red ketchup dripped on the table, as if she had vomited a mouthful of blood.
"How..."
"Can't imagine?" Ye Mang said: "Originally I thought it was a love affair, but I knew he borrowed money." I lent it to him, he gave me an IOU, I didn't take it. Now he's in debt. It's that simple. ”
Wang Ting mobilized all brain cells to think about the loopholes in her words.
"He gave you an IOU, why didn't you collect it?"
Ye Mang bit his lip and looked a little more stylish: "At that time, it was not convenient for me to receive it." ”
When it was inconvenient to collect the IOU, Wang Ting scoffed and felt that she was lying.
Ye Mang sighed, "Do you think that two people just got out of bed and took the other person's IOU?" ”
Wang Ting seemed to have eaten a fly, and she suppressed her anger and continued to interrogate.
"Then you always have a transfer history, right?" If there is a record, even if it is a lawsuit, the court will support it. ”
Ye Mang skimmed his lips, wiped his face and said, "For fifty thousand pieces, let my husband find out that I am cheating?" ”
Wang Ting was stunned.
"Anyway," continued Ye Mang, who was opposite, "I just want you to know who he is." He didn't pay me back and pulled him down, and I also broke his marriage. When you don't want him, I will go to him, and maybe he will be willing to pay me back. ”
The carbonated drink tumbled in Wang Ting's stomach, causing more and more bloating.
"You have no evidence, I will listen to you and break up with him?" She said with a lingering breath.
Ye Mang brushed his hair, stood up and said, "His bed is two colors, black and white, right?" After saying this, she pulled down the balloon tied to the chair and strode forward, and a large piece of glittering behind her caused the children in McDonald's to scream.
Wang Ting covered her stomach, looked at the two ignorant children on the other side, and felt desperate and angry for the first time.
Who is saying that gentle men are good men? Her ex-husband has a temper tantrum, and will throw away the door without saying a few words, but she will never use the bait of falling in love to borrow money and not pay it back.
Wang Ting sent the two children to Li Li's house, took advantage of Li Li to cook in the kitchen, and went to the bedroom to take a look. The bed was indeed white, and there was a black spare in the closet. This kind of thing is not changed every day, Ye Mang knows that there are these two colors, which shows that they are not good for a day or two.
The most urgent thing at the moment is to get her twenty thousand pieces back.
During the meal, Wang Ting hinted at Li Li, saying that she was interested in a fund and wanted to buy a sum of 100,000 yuan, which was still a little bit worse.
Li Li clipped a chopstick dish to her and softly comforted: "It doesn't matter, the good fund will be there again." ”
Wang Ting cried out in her heart, and simply pointed out: "Do you have money in this section, the twenty thousand yuan I gave you last time..."
Lee Lee smiled (he actually had a smile on his face!). He said: "The clinic is renovated, and the money is smashed inside." ”
Twenty thousand pieces say more is not more, say less, can give Le Le two years of swimming lessons. Wang Ting made up her mind to get the money back. WeChat asked a few words, Li Li actually did not reply to the message and did not answer the phone.
Just twenty thousand pieces will make a person in its original form revealed.
Wang Ting simply blackened Li Li. On the day of the opening of the clinic, firecrackers sounded in unison, and she took a few people in and directly moved the machine out. Li Li's face was so black that he grabbed Wang Ting.
"Do you think we women are very good bullies?" She said out loud, "Want me to shake everything out for you?" ”
Li Li was embarrassed, and saw that Wang Ting pointed to Ye Mang, who was showing his head in the crowd not far away, and swallowed all the words in his mouth.
Wang Ting strode forward, stepping on a pile of red firecracker debris.
It seems that gentle men are not all good men.
But with hundreds of millions of men in the country, she didn't believe that she couldn't find someone who was good and gentle.
In the distance, she saw Ye Mang give her a thumbs up. She snorted and turned around and climbed into the pickup truck pulling the machine.
