Chapter 243 - 245: Trouble You to Please Bring Out My Family!_1
Chenxing didn’t say a word, turned her head, and started walking, her pace getting faster and faster.
As Nan Baihao watched Chenxing’s receding figure, he slowly straightened up and took out a cigarette from his pocket, smoking one by one.
...
Auntie Sang Pu is a local kitchen help, she normally helps in the kitchen with the washing up and cleaning work. But ever since the camp got permanently located here, she started working regularly, and now she’s considered one of the veteran staff.
She’s plump and a little overweight, but she is very kind and friendly. Chenxing learned the local language from her. Auntie Sang Pu loves Chenxing like her own daughter. Seeing her red eyes and her lost look staring at the pots, and uncontrollably shedding tears, she went over to console her.
Chenxing quickly wiped her face, "Auntie, I’m fine. I’m going to make some porridge. One of the patients isn’t used to the local food and is having trouble adjusting to it."
The camp’s kitchen is all fitted with American-style kitchenware. She actually wanted to make a small side dish, but it wasn’t possible here. "Auntie, can you keep an eye on the porridge for me? I need to use the kitchen in the China section next door."
Auntie Sang Pu nodded. Chenxing thanked her, grabbed two tomatoes and an egg, and ran to the China section, borrowing their kitchen to make tomato and egg stir-fry...
Although Mr. Gu Shaocheng grew up in Canada, they lived in the Chinese immigrant area, where most people are Chinese immigrants, and their dietary habits still lean towards Chinese cuisine.
Two hours later, the door to the ward was gently opened. Chenxing managed to contain all her negative emotions. She walked to the bedside and placed the food box she was carrying on the small cabinet next to the bed.
A young girl, standing straight, slowly lifted the lid of the food box.
A delicate fragrance slowly spread around, even the patients on other beds took deep breaths. It smells so good, what is it?
"You should eat something. Given the limited conditions here, I could only make you a tomato and egg stir-fry." Chenxing handed over the porridge and the dish to Mr. Gu, speaking in a casual tone.
"I want stir-fried bok-choy!" I heard you grew a bunch of bok-choy here, you planted them yourself, but I’ve never tasted any.
Chenxing looked at him, said patiently: "Could you please make do with what we have? By the time I manage to stir-fry the bok-choy, your porridge would have turned cold."
Gu Shaocheng remained silent, refusing to eat, and slowly closed his eyes. He seemed to be urging people to stay away.
Chenxing bit her lower lip, unsure of what to do next. She finally cleared her throat: "Mr. Gu, I’d appreciate it if you could cooperate with me. I have many other patients to attend to, and providing meals is not part of a nurse’s duties. If you don’t like the hospital-provided meals, you can ask your family to prepare your favorite dishes."
Gu Shaocheng opened his eyes again: "I’m telling my family right now that I, Gu Shaocheng, want to eat bok-choy. Nurse, could you please call my family out for me?"
"..."
"The only person that could truly be called ’family’ to me in this world is Zhou Chenxing. I heard she’s in your hospital, nurse, could you please bring her to me and tell her that I want to eat the bok-choy that she personally planted? Thanks for your help." He said all this in a superior tone, looked at her, a multitude of emotions swirling in his gaze. He looked past her and around the room: "Where’s my family, the Chenxing that calls me ’Shaocheng’? I came here specifically for her! Call her in at once!"
Chenxing clenched her eyes shut: "She is not your family."
Gu Shaocheng spoke in a low voice, with no expression on his face: "Is that so?"
... I was up watching TV until four in the morning, overslept, and couldn’t get up in the morning, so this update is a little slow. I’ll get to writing right now...
