On Monday morning, Xu Chunliang arrived at the medical office, and Cheng Xiaohong was already there, having made him a cup of tea.
Xu Chunliang teased her, asking if she suddenly had some thoughts about being so kind to him?
Cheng Xiaohong said that when you eat someone else's food, you can't criticize them, and when you take someone's handouts, you can't make your own demands. Since he refused to take money for the duck, she could only repay him in this way, and she planned to serve him tea whenever she arrived early from now on.
Xu Chunliang told her that there was actually a quicker and more direct way to repay him.
Cheng Xiaohong, being someone who could take a joke, laughed and warned him not to push his luck, as she was already spoken for; it was his fault for not making a move earlier.
In the office, men and women joked around without taking it seriously, although there's always the possibility that jokes could turn into something real.
