Waiting for You in a City - Chapter 37
More than ten days passed, the rescue work has entered a stable stage, more aid teams came in, and soon the day when the first troop of soldiers withdrew.
On that day, Xu Qin passed the resettlement site and saw the soldiers getting on the train in an orderly manner and leaving. The farewell fellow stopped them and wanted to send some souvenirs.
The disaster area was short of supplies and the army had discipline. The soldiers refused to accept it.
Both sides made some concessions.
Xu Qin walked by several cars. Several soldiers treated by her saw him and greeted her in the car. She pursed her lips and nodded in response.
The military vehicles drove away one by one. The fellows chased the vehicles and waved goodbye.
Xu Qin walked to the end of the team and unexpectedly saw Song Yan. They also evacuated this day.
Song Yan was squeezed in the crowd and nodded from time to time, saluting the fellows and pushing things in their hands. It was at this time that he turned his head inadvertently, and their eyes crossed the moving crowd and met far away.
After a short pause, they staggered.
She continued on her way, and after a few steps away, she couldn’t help but look back. Song Yan stood among the villagers, who was exceptionally tall, and his back was unusually handsome and long.
He is ready to get on the bus.
But just for a moment when he got on the bus, somehow, he turned back a little and glanced in the direction of Xu Qin’s departure, which happened to hit her eyes.
Both of them did not expect that the other party would turn around, and they did not expect that they would be arrested.
The next second, Song Yanren got in the car.
The car started.
Xu Qin’s heart beats.
With her hands in her pockets, when she turned and left, a slight arc twitched around the corner of her mouth.
Within a few days, Xu Qin had to return to the Imperial City.
When they left, they were also given farewell by the fellows. What they did not send when they sent the soldiers could be stuffed into them, saying that they were not soldiers. They did not have such strict requirements.
Make the doctors and nurses cry and laugh.
The fellow’s heart is full, it really can not refuse. Xu Qin finally accepted the basket containing the eggs; the rest followed suit and accepted a chicken feather and a bowl. This is only allowed.
Someone in the farewell crowd cried. Xu Qin was not used to this kind of scene and took the seat in the innermost place.
It wasn’t until the car drove far away that she looked back at the ruined town.
Does this town bring a touch of change to her? She did not think about it, and it is too early to say anything. It may take many months and years to look back before you can see clearly.
On the way back to the city, Xu Qin leaned back in his chair and fell asleep.
After arriving home, people were still exhausted.
She cleaned herself from head to toe, and went to bed to sleep. The sleep was so deep that she slept from the first afternoon to the next morning.
When Xu Qin woke up, he was not in a hurry. She lay in bed, thinking about what had happened in the past ten days or so. Some of them were not very real, like dreams.
Those who died, those who came alive, the fallen home, the built house, the screen was like a slide through the eyes, and finally stopped at the moment when Song Yan turned back before getting on the car.
The heart thumped in the chest.
She grabbed her phone, called up his number, pondered for a while, and sent a text message:
“I am back.”
Distraught, the phone hasn’t been put down, there is almost a second over there: “Okay.”
Xu Qin stared at the word on the screen: “…” I didn’t know how to continue talking, and came another one: “Have a good rest.”
She typed in immediately: “I have a rest.”
send.
Add one sentence: “I came back yesterday.”
She waited for a while, and the reply speed there was slow, which was probably caught by surprise. She suddenly found that she was not very good at chatting, thinking of finding a supplement, and quickly typed a series of words:
“What are you doing? Not working?”
“Resting.” This fell back quickly.
Xu Qin thought that he should still be training himself, and was about to ask him how he was doing. Didi, the text message came again, from Song Yan:
“Want to meet?”
She stared at the screen, flushed by those four words, and squeezed her mouth back:
“miss you.”
“Come out.” He returned.
Xu Qin got up from the bed all at once, just about to get out of bed, thought of something, covered his forehead, and sent him a text message with a grin:
“I forgot, there will be a recognition meeting in the morning in the courtyard …”
“Row.”
She scratched her hair and continued typing: “See you that afternoon? Two o’clock, my house downstairs?”
“it is good.”
Xu Qin put down his mobile phone, slipped out of bed, whipped open the curtains, and the sunlight entered the whole room through the floor-to-ceiling windows. She walked up to the balcony, glanced at Wufang Street, smiled faintly, and then looked up, she saw the blue sky and the weather was fine.
The commendation meeting was held in the big conference hall. When Xu Qin arrived, they sat down to chat with each other and gave her a seat.
Everyone had enough rest, and they looked very energetic. I missed the past ten days.
Xiaoxi said: “This time, the hospital will issue a certificate for the rescue. Although it has no effect, it is a commemoration anyway.”
Xiaodong said: “These days are like a dream, so tired and alive, but now think about it, it’s full of precious.”
Xu Qin thought deeply and said, “It’s something to gain.”
After the words fell, Xiaobei bumped into Xiaonan: “This one has gained a lot.”
Xu Qin was dull and didn’t notice it.
Xiao Xi Zui Kuai: “She is well with the fireman named Tong Ming.”
Xiao Nan was not shy, spread his hands and shrugged: “He is very shy, hey, I have chased him for 18 martial arts.
Xu Qin only remembered that when Tong Ming came to the hospital with a hand burn several months ago, Xiao Nan treated him; he injured his leg in this earthquake and Xiao Nan took care of it.
“Would your parents not object?”
Xiao Nan: “I just like it. If you don’t agree, it will be soft and hard, and no parents can hold the child.”
Xu Qin was a little surprised that she was so abrupt, just talking, the leader of the institute came in and the chatting gradually subsided.
The Dean walked onto the stage and sighed: “Everyone is working hard–”
The audience laughed.
The Dean glanced at the people with satisfaction and nodded: “This disaster relief, our hospital’s medical team performed outstandingly. 39 cases of major operations were successfully performed, 78 cases of minor operations were performed, and 438 person-times were taken care of …”
Xu Qin disappeared and looked down at the phone.
Her chat record with Song Yan stayed at the last “good” word.
She swiped the record and stared at the phrase “Want to meet?”
It is ten thirty in the morning and there are more than three hours before the agreed two o’clock in the afternoon.
The Dean is still making official accusations: “… it is well received by the local military and civilians. In this medical rescue operation, a group of exceptionally outstanding medical workers have also emerged in our hospital. They are skilled and kind-hearted. The safety of the local people is the first priority. Such medical workers deserve to be learned by everyone present here, and they are also commendable in the hospital and the society. The first one is Dr. Xu Qin, who is currently in rotation in the emergency department of burn surgery . ”
The dean took the lead in applauding, and there was a round of applause in the hall.
Xu Qin’s face was slightly hot, and there was a trace of embarrassment. She expected that she would be commended, thinking of sitting by and sitting on the line, but did not expect what happened next was unexpected.
The dean applauded and gave up the podium: “Dr. Xu is one of the top ten moving people selected by the news media for the earthquake. We invite Dr. Xu to speak.”
Xu Qin was stunned, but quickly calmed down. She had made up her mind and went to the podium in endless applause.
Under the rostrum, colleagues looked forward, Professor Xu Ken expressionless.
She adjusted the microphone a little, without much hesitation or hesitation, or too much tension and anxiety, and began to speak: “I just did what I should do. I am also the rescued.”
The people in the audience were hung up and waited eagerly.
“At that time, I saw that the woman was dead and I was about to leave. But the firefighter who dug her out found that she was a pregnant woman and stopped me.”
Under the audience, everyone’s face began to change unpredictably.
“Thanks to his reminder, I was able to rescue this child and pulled myself back from the edge of a major mistake.”
Silent birds, a bunch of people dumbfounded, not this version, it is now widely spread that the doctor saw the death of the pregnant woman, insisted on a rescue of the unborn baby.
The dean’s face was green, striding over.
“At that moment, I realized that I had always been wrong …”
This sentence has no effect, and colleagues were shocked by her previous speech. The microphone was taken by the dean: “Dr. Xu saved a new life with the firefighters and applauded.”
Everyone was embarrassed, and applauded loudly to resolve it.
“Next, Dr. Liu Yang of the General Surgery …”
Xu Qin stepped down, Xiaodong Xiaoxi Xiaonan Xiaobei Qi Qi looked at her with open mouth.
She sat down calmly: “What’s wrong?”
The four shook their heads together.
Xiao Nan: “I said, Dr. Xu’s brain circuit is abnormal.”
Xu Qin: “…”
She doesn’t care, she is relaxed and she only waits for the appointment in the afternoon.
On the way home, waiting for the red light, she saw a huge poster hanging outside the shopping mall at the intersection. She painted a foreign beauty with bright eyes and a bright smile.
Xu Qin stared at the painting for a while, changed routes, and entered the mall.
…
At two o’clock in the afternoon, Xu Qin packed himself up and ran downstairs out of the yard. He saw Song Yan standing beside the banyan tree across the road waiting for her.
In the winter, the leaves fell, leaving only bare branches. He was wearing a gray-blue coat, standing under the tree, with a curl of smoke in his hand.
Like a painting.
She took a breath and ran towards him.
He found her coming and smothered the smoke.
“Wait a long time?” She asked, running up the road.
“Just arrived,” he said.
He glanced across her body shortly, glanced over her entire face, and finally her eyes fell on her lips, applying lipstick, bright red and glamorous.
He looked at it for half a second, and when he turned away, the corner of his mouth hooked and smiled.
Xu Qin followed him: “Where are we going?”
Song Yan looked at her sideways: “Do you watch movies?”
Xu Qin: “Okay. Where to look?”
Song Yan: “Seven Maple Road.”
“Okay.” Xu Qin said again.
Song Yan glanced back at her inadvertently, perhaps because the outdoor air was too cold in winter, her face was white and her eyes were more clear, like a stream that could see the bottom.
He asked, “Is it cold?”
“not cold.”
He glanced at her hand, which was in his pocket.
He just took out his mobile phone and was just about to call for a car,
“Take the subway.” Xu Qin said, “The traffic jam will take a long time.”
Going down to the subway station, Song Yan bought Xu Qin a one-way card, but there was a small problem when crossing the gate.
The person in front of the card, one by one, passed the gate in an orderly manner. But when Xu Qin was here, she stood by the gate and rubbed several times at the sensor, and the door didn’t open.
Now that there is a lot of traffic, everyone behind is waiting. Xu Qin is embarrassed and whispers to himself: “My card seems to be bad.”
Wanting to turn back for help, there was a force behind him.
Song Yan grabbed her back collar and gently lifted her back. She took a step back and hit him, his voice sinking and fell to his ear: “Try again.”
Xu Qin posted the card to the induction. This time, the door really opened. She froze for a second and hurried through, looking back at Song Yan.
Song Yan swiped the card and walked across the gate to take her to the platform.
Xu Qin asked: “What happened just now, why can’t it be opened?”
Song Yan said: “There is a yellow line underneath. People must stand outside the yellow line to brush it away.”
And she ran into the yellow line.
The subway drove into the platform and stopped slowly. People across the window were waiting to get off.
Xu Qin: “How come there are such strange rules? Isn’t it a delay?”
Song Yan: “To prevent someone from escaping the ticket, two people with one card.”
In the speaking room, the subway door opened, and the people who got off rushed down the platform.
“Escape ticket?” Xu Qin frowned lightly, did not figure out how to escape. Turned around to get on the bus,
“Like this.” Song Yan lowered her head and said in her ear. He stepped forward and pressed it close to her back. He squeezed a little forward. A force behind her pushed him into the subway car.
Xu Qin thumped.
His hand stretched out from behind her and clenched the bar.
She stood motionless in front of him, her back against his chest, and the back of her head touching his chin.
Around him, there was a faint smell of soap on his body. Xu Qinxiang,
He must have washed his head and bathed before going out.
Coincidentally, so did she.
