The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

"Hey, Doctor Ding."

Suddenly, when passing an intersection, Liu Minghui saw a figure riding a women's bicycle. It looked like Ding Qiunan, so he tentatively called out,

Ding Qiunan heard someone calling her, stopped the car, turned around and saw that it was Liu Minghui.

Seeing this, Liu Minghui pushed the cart over.

"Doctor Ding, what a coincidence, meeting you here."

Liu Minghui greeted with a smile. Ding Qiunan was originally in a bad mood. This afternoon when she was working at the machine repair factory, her family called her and asked her to go home quickly. Ding's mother planned to explain her boyfriend to her and asked her to come back to see them.

But Ding Qiunan has no such idea at all now. She is still working hard to get into college, so how can she get married?

"I have nothing to do today, so I plan to go back home and have a look."

Ding Qiunan responded with a forced smile, but it was an unusually stiff smile, probably because he was in a very bad mood.

"So Dr. Ding lives here. I thought I had made a mistake."

Liu Minghui said it casually, but in fact he regretted it as soon as he said it out loud. What if Ding Qiunan thought he was interested in her and wanted to say a few perfunctory words and run away.

At this time, Ding Qiunan seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes were shining as he looked at Liu Minghui.

"Chief Liu, please go to my house and have a glass of water before you leave."

Ding Qiunan invited him enthusiastically. She didn't want to go on a blind date in the first place, but suddenly she felt that Liu Minghui was a good shield, so she took Liu Minghui forward without saying anything.

Liu Minghui wanted to say something, but Ding Qiunan looked frail and walked so fast, so Liu Minghui could only hurry to catch up.

"Doctor Ding, this is not good, let's go to your house..."

Liu Minghui still refused, but Ding Qiunan said, "I wanted to thank Chief Liu before, and now I have the chance."

Ding Qiunan said this with a smile, looking completely grateful. Seeing this, although still a little confused, Liu Minghui followed him into an alley.

Ding Qiunan stopped only when he arrived at the door of a courtyard house.

This is a small courtyard house with only one entrance. Ding's father had studied abroad before, and before he was fired from the hospital, he was quite wealthy, so it was not surprising that he bought this house.

Ding Qiunan said "We're here" and walked in with Liu Minghui.

When I walked in, I saw several rooms inside. The layout was pretty good, with the main living room in the middle and east and west wing rooms on both sides. The only thing missing was a back room.

Today, perhaps because the Ding family has fallen into decline and lacks maintenance, the houses appear a bit dilapidated.

"Xiao Nan, you're back. Mom wants to tell you that this young man is the best. He should know you..."

Hearing someone coming in, Ding's mother came out talking, but when she saw Liu Minghui following Ding Qiunan, she stopped talking.

"Who is this?"

Mother Ding looked at Ding Qiunan with a questioning look, hoping for an explanation.

"Mom, this is my friend, Liu Minghui."

Ding Qiunan introduced herself to him, and Liu Minghui immediately said to Ding's mother, "Hello, Auntie. I'm Liu Minghui. I'm sorry to come to your house to show my appreciation."

Liu Minghui quickly handed over the thing hanging on the handlebar. It was an old hen that Liu's mother had given him when he came back from Liujia Village.

Liu Minghui thought to himself that it was a good thing he had this chicken, otherwise it would have been too rude. It would not be nice to visit someone without bringing a gift.

Hearing this, Ding's mother hurried forward and took over.

"Hello friends, hello friends."

The speed of his hands was so fast that even Liu Minghui looked at him sideways.

Ding Qiunan, on the other hand, held her forehead and sighed. Her mother was good in every way except that she was a little too snobbish. The family had been through a hard time in recent years, which made the situation even worse.

Ding Qiunan was helpless about this and could only take note of it secretly, planning to convert the items into money and return them to Liu Minghui later.

"Come in and sit down. I'll go call your dad out."

Mother Ding happily carried the old hen into the house, shouting as she walked, "Old Ding, come out quickly, your daughter is back with someone."

Liu Minghui remained silent upon hearing this and could only look at Ding Qiunan.

"I'm sorry, my mom didn't mean any harm, it's just..."

Ding Qiunan blushed as she explained. Before she could finish, Liu Minghui nodded and said, "Don't worry, we are friends. Just think of it as a way to show respect to the elderly."

Afterwards, Liu Minghui walked ahead, leaving Ding Qiunan in a state of confusion.

"Shame on you. What kind of respect do you want to show to an old man? What's your relationship with my mother?"

Although Ding Qiunan complained in his heart, he did not deny it out loud and followed him into the house.

Father Ding was writing something in the room. When he heard his wife's voice, he quickly put down what he was holding and walked out.

"Xiao Nan, who is this?"

Seeing Ding Qiunan coming back with a man, Ding's father looked at her curiously. Seeing that Liu Minghui was neatly dressed, wearing a watch on his hand, and looked good, he seemed to be a trustworthy person, so he nodded repeatedly.

Ding Qiunan and the other person on the opposite side just looked confused, not knowing why Father Ding was so excited.

"Hello, uncle."

Liu Minghui stood up, greeted Ding's father, took out a cigarette and was about to hand it to him.

"Don't give it to me, my dad doesn't smoke."

Ding Qiunan said something and then came to Ding's father.

"Dad, why are you calling me back so urgently? The factory can't do without me."

After hearing this, Father Ding looked at her and said, "With your limited skills, if you were not the only doctor, how could you not be able to leave?"

Father Ding scoffed at this. As a former master of medical skills, Ding Qiunan only knew mediocre skills, which were not worth mentioning in his eyes.

"Young man, where are you from? Where do you work now?"

No longer looking at Ding Qiunan, Father Ding turned around and looked at Liu Minghui and asked.

Hearing this, Liu Minghui quickly replied, "My family is from the countryside, and I work in a steel mill now."

Liu Minghui gave a simple explanation, and Ding's father didn't react much after hearing it. He didn't look down on anyone at all.

"What position is it?"

Father Ding continued to ask, and Mother Ding also pricked up her ears curiously.

"Alright, alright, you check the household registration."

Ding Qiunan said this to Ding's father with dissatisfaction, and Ding's father could only smile helplessly and stop asking questions.

Liu Minghui sat in Ding's house for half an hour and felt uneasy. It was because Ding Qiunan's parents looked at their son-in-law too obviously.

Sitting there, they seemed to be a perfect match, but looking at Ding Qiunan's angry expression, he probably couldn't help himself.

Seeing this, Liu Minghui couldn't stay any longer and could only say that he was leaving.

Otherwise, we'll be talking about their marriage later.

"Let's finish our meal before we go. I'll tell you about Xiaonan."

Ding's mother tried to keep Liu Minghui, thinking that he was a good match and of course didn't want to let him go.

"Mom, please stop talking."

Ding Qiunan couldn't bear it anymore, so he interrupted her mother and stood up to send Liu Minghui out the door.
