Chapter 50 The Bar
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Zhen Fan left work on time.
There were not many patients on the first day, only four. Except for Elisa with breast enlargement and Bob with endocrine disorders, two people came in the afternoon.
One is a middle-aged woman with menstrual disorders. She has been taking western medicine for many years but it has not improved. Every time it makes her die of pain, she came here with the hope of giving it a last try.
Zhen Fan's acupuncture and moxibustion helped the woman relieve her pain, which made her extremely happy, and after learning that she only needed to take a few times of Chinese medicine, there would be no relapse, Zhen Fan was hugged tightly by her, for This was also ridiculed by Zoe.
The other was an old man in his seventies who had a stroke. His mouth and eyes were crooked and he was half paralyzed due to the stroke. He was sent here by his family.
After Zhen Fan's acupuncture and moxibustion, the old man's condition was relieved, at least the problem of crooked eyes and mouth was solved, and he was able to speak a complete sentence.
The family members of the old man were simply witnesses of the miracle. Apart from being stunned, they were also grateful for Zhen Fan's worship. To be honest, this disease, which is completely helpless in the eyes of Western medicine, has turned around here. Even if they didn't make the old man stand up on the spot, of course they didn't have such hope, unless it was the hand of God, he could be cured, but at least they saw hope.
"This is a long-term treatment. It will take about a month. You will come to me every three days for an injection. Maybe it will make him stand up again!"
Zhen Fan made an estimate based on the old man's condition, and gave a result that he thought was conservative. But this result made the elderly family rejoice.
Originally, they had the mentality of giving it a try, but they didn't expect a miracle to happen. Even the old people said "Thank God!", but maybe they should thank Zhen Fan more.
"Goodbye, Doctor Tang!"
Zhen Fan said goodbye to Tang Shaoyang, watching the middle-aged man walk to his rented place. For the convenience of going to work, Tang Shaoyang rented a house nearby at a price of 600 US dollars per month. The environment is not bad.
"Do you want to go together?"
Zhen Fan was staring at Tang Shaoyang's back in a daze, and Zooey came over from behind after closing the door.
"No, you go home first, I'll just go back by myself, it's still early anyway, I want to take a walk on the road!" Zhen Fan looked at Zooey and smiled.
"I'll accompany you!"
Zoe said as she carried her shoulder bag, standing side by side with Zhen Fan.
"I didn't expect your medical skills to be very good!" Zooey held Zhen Fan's hand, and Zhen Fan let her hold it, "Do you know? When I saw that you could immediately make the old man who had a stroke speak, bring How shocked am I?"
Zhen Fan shook his head.
"I said from the bottom of my heart, God, is this man an angel sent by you?" Zoe made an exaggerated gesture of clasping her hands together, "Why am I so lucky, this angel is by my side!" Zoe Yi said, feeling a little emotional, and gently leaned her head on Zhen Fan's shoulder.
"You are a cute girl!" Zhen Fan stopped, and then looked into Zoe's eyes, "Do you know why I promised you to work in the clinic? It's because of your kindness. We have a saying in China: Women are because of their kindness And beautiful. Then according to this standard, you look like a fairy!"
"That's the sweetest thing I've ever heard!"
Zooey looked at Zhen Fan and smiled, then suddenly stood on tiptoe,
Leaning into Zhen Fan's ear: "Can I go to your place tonight? Don't refuse me!"
Zhen Fan looked at Zooey.
"If... If I were drunk today, I would definitely promise you, because I can do whatever I want. Drunk people usually do things that they usually want to do but dare not do! Do you know how serious the consequences are? ?”
Zhen Fan suddenly laughed.
"Unless you agree first and get me drunk, I really can't do it!"
"You... are a coward!"
Zooey laughed loudly, took Zhen Fan's hand and ran forward, Zhen Fan trotted behind her.
"I'm not a coward, I swear to God, I'm not!"
Zooey ignored him, let go of her hand suddenly, faced Zhen Fan, and stepped back.
"Then let's go drink!"
This is the most beautiful love story, when a man wants to sleep with a woman, a woman says this to a man.
Zhen Fan didn't take Zooey home, but found a place to have dinner not far from the clinic. Dinner was macaroni and steak with two glasses of red wine.
There are not many people in the restaurant, just in twos and threes. Zhen Fan just sat by the window and chatted with Zooey.
"Tell me about you, Zhen!"
Zooey wiped her mouth with a napkin, then stared at Zhen Fan with big beautiful eyes. This man was like a mystery, with a deadly temptation, poisoning her bit by bit.
"say what?"
Zhen Fan spread his hands and shrugged.
"Tell me about your kung fu, no, maybe it's not kung fu, I know, it's more like a superhero's superpower, and your medical skills, and of course, do you like me?"
Zoe put it bluntly enough.
"Super power?" Zhen Fan couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Your imagination is too rich. It's not super power, it's Chinese Kung Fu, just like Bruce Lee (Bruce Lee). Of course, we in China Kung fu is all about strength and speed and skill, so you saw that night..."
"So it is, but...it's amazing!"
Zooey suddenly realized something.
"What about your medical skills? There are very few young people with high medical skills like you. I really want to know your past, which is full of temptations for people to dig!"
"There's nothing to say, I'm just an ordinary Chinese, but I just worked harder than others when I studied medicine, and you know, although Chinese medicine is not mainstream medicine in the United States, it is indeed mainstream in China. This is our scientific system and It is determined by the perspective of the world's cognition!"
"Moreover, traditional Chinese medicine has been passed down in China for more than two thousand years, and it has already had a profound accumulation. Naturally, it has its unique place and supreme value. No one can deny this!"
Zhen Fan talked eloquently, seeing Zoe looking at him with her chin resting on her face, smiling and concentrating, she stopped.
"What's wrong? What's on my face..."
"No, you're charming when you're talking like this!"
Zooey leaned back, and then still looked at Zhen Fan's face.
"I can't wait to go drink."
When the word drinking is spoken again between two people, it is a bit ambiguous.
"Okay, I invite you!"
Zhen Fan wiped his mouth with a napkin and snapped his fingers.
"Pay the bill, buddy!"
"I'll pay the bill!" Zooey had already taken out the banknotes and put them in the waiter's tray, "There's no need to look for them!"
The waiter smiled all over his face and gave a tip of ten dollars, which is not much in this restaurant, and politely sent the two of them out.
"You are so generous!" Zhen Fan couldn't help laughing.
"That's because... I saved a lot of money for drinking, don't forget, you invite me to the bar!" Zooey laughed and opened the way ahead.
"Taxi!" Zooey reached out and stopped a taxi, "Bar 66!"
Zhen Fan seldom went to the bar, this is the case in China, not even once in the United States. Bar 66 is located in the 8th block, which is a medium-to-small bar in Wine Valley. However, the layout of the bar is very good, there is no delay in entertainment, listening to music, and drinking. There are not many people inside, and a band is playing jazz music on the stage.
“For opening day one!”
Zhen Fan raised his wine glass.
"No, so that I can get drunk today!" Zooey raised her glass, looked at Zhen Fan provocatively, raised her head and poured down a glass of wine, then shook the glass towards Zhen Fan.
"Good!" There was applause from the side, and a big man in a vest applauded loudly, "It's very spicy, I like it!"
"Thank you!" Zooey smiled at him.
"I'll pay for this drink!" The big man laughed, waved his hand at the bartender at the bar, then turned around and approached Zooey, "I'll buy you another drink!"
"No, I'm invited!" Zooey squinted at Zhen Fan, showing a charming smile.
"Haha, Frank, you've met your opponent!" Someone next to him booed and laughed harshly.
The big man obviously couldn't sit still anymore, he looked at Zhen Fan, stood up, and immediately stood upright in front of Zhen Fan like a black bear.
"Dude, you don't mind me having a drink with your chick!"
"What do you say?"
Zhen Fan shrugged his shoulders.
"Then there is no objection, two glasses of brandy!" The big man patted the bar counter, startling the bartender, and quickly brought over two glasses of brandy and put them on the bar counter.
"I'll do it first!" The big man picked up one of the cups, raised his head, drank it, and then put the cup on the table with a "snap", staring at Zooey.
"I'm sorry, I told you, I have someone to invite, I don't need you!" Zooey approached Zhen Fan as she said, holding Zhen Fan's arm tightly with both hands, she was not worried at all, because she knew Zhen was here, so Don't think about it.
"Dude——" Frank stood in front of Zhen Fan again, staring at him like a hawk, "Your girl doesn't seem to be obedient, what should I do with this glass of wine?"
"Frank, give this Asian man a good look." Someone added to the flames, and there were sharp whistles and chaotic shouts all around.
Zhen Fan suddenly took the glass of wine, raised his head, and drank it up! Then he shook the empty glass, put it on the bar, and smiled slightly: "Look, this glass of wine is gone! If you are not satisfied, these two glasses of wine are mine!"
"Okay, here or outside!" Frank felt a little overwhelmed.
"Don't make trouble here!" A barmaid at the bar frowned at Frank, "Can't you calm down? Don't let Jim know, or I won't spare you!"
Jim? Zhen Fan's heart moved, he heard the name again, he heard the taxi driver Eddie the black boy said before, the boss of these blocks.
"You're lucky, kid!"
Obviously Jim's name made Frank a little worried, he snorted, pushed Zhen Fan's shoulder hard, turned around and walked away.
People around also dispersed.
"Drink!" Zooey looked at Zhen Fan winkingly, and raised the wine glass in her hand!
