Beijing meets Seattle 薛晓璐 1904Words 2018-03-22
The ancients said that there are people in the court who are easy to handle. Wen Jiajia believes that there are people who are easy to handle during the birth inspection. This person is this sloppy leader of the beggar gang. Even if he has thousands of shortcomings, Wen Jiajia can still find this one advantage in him. Wen Jiajia initially thought that Frank must be a wanted criminal because she likes to judge people by their appearance. But after prying into Frank's little-known history, Wen Jiajia felt that he was alive like Qiao Feng in the novel. Because Qiao Feng has an unexpected life experience and background; Frank also has it.

Qiao Feng also has an ex-wife, A Zhu, although it is not registered, and there is no wedding ceremony; in this regard, Frank is superior. He not only has a legally married and legally divorced ex-wife, but also has a daughter with his ex-wife. Now, Frank takes care of Wen Jiajia like Qiao Feng takes care of Ah Zi, but the starting point is different.Qiao Feng is because of Ah Zhu, while Frank is because of...humanitarian care? When I saw Frank again, he was still unshaven and disheveled, with the same dressing style as the leader of a beggar gang.As soon as Wen Jiajia saw him, she wanted to turn her eyes away, always feeling scared in her heart, for fear that he might have some kind of parasite on him.However, when I think that I am living under someone else's roof, my English is not good enough, and I have no choice but to rely on him, so I have to hold back my emotions.

Who really came in? The clinic that Frank took Wen Jiajia to visit was actually in an old "concave"-shaped building with an open-air parking lot in front. At first glance, it was very unreliable. Just like last night, Wen Jiajia suppressed her doubts and followed Frank all the way through the parking lot and into the building. It happened that a strong white man with tattoos and punk hair walked down the stairs in the narrow stairwell. It was blocked. Frank and Wen Jiajia quickly turned sideways to make way for the strong man, Wen Jiajia was shocked. After the strong man passed by, Wen Jiajia asked Frank in a low voice worriedly: "Can you guarantee that I choose this doctor is the best? In this kind of place, he won't put me to death?!"

Frank: "Can speak Chinese, female. The doctor who meets your two conditions is the most expensive." Wen Jiajia frowned and said nothing. She suddenly felt that Frank's last words were the point. This clinic is really not big, it is more like an office than a place to take over childbirth.There are many photos hanging on the wall, all of them are pictures of some Chinese children and their parents, as well as thank you cards and so on.One of the most conspicuous is a graduation photo of a female doctor in a doctor's suit. In addition to Wen Jiajia and Frank, there are two pregnant women waiting here.

Wen Jiajia was not interested in chatting with pregnant women, so she looked carefully at the photos on the wall, trying to find clues, and asked Frank by the way: "It looks real! But you also have fake degrees in the United States." Frank shook his head helplessly, giving up on this woman who habitually thinks bad things about people, and patted a form on the table in front of him: "Fill out the form first." Wen Jiajia sat down with rare cooperation, picked up the form and pen, and just filled in two lines, she frowned and said: "Really, they are all Chinese, so why fill in English! You can't bully my mother! Racial discrimination!"

Frank glanced at her, took the form, and asked in a good-tempered manner, "How many times is this pregnancy?" Wen Jiajia raised her eyebrows and said, "The fourth time." Frank only paused for a moment before turning to look at her in surprise. Wen Jiajia immediately laughed and said, "I'm just kidding!" Frank continued to ask: "Are you allergic to any medicine?" Wen Jiajia was also at a loss: "Does poison count?" Frank asked again: "Have you had surgery before?" Wen Jiajia recalled: "When I was a child, I climbed up a tree, fell off and broke the back of my head and got stitches?"

Frank lowered his head and filled out the form, "How many stitches?" Wen Jiajia shrugged: "Three, four, five, whatever... Hey, your English is pretty good, you can write from the back of your head!" Unexpectedly, before the words were finished, a doctor surnamed Tang came out of the consulting room and greeted them warmly. Dr. Tang spoke Hong Kong Mandarin: "Hi! Gigo! Sorry, Frank, long time no see!" Wen Jiajia looked at Frank strangely, not understanding why Dr. Tang called him that. Could it be that he broke the law and changed his name?Or does that shit mean the inhumane past?

Frank didn't respond to Dr. Tang's title, handed him the form, and twitched his mouth: "I haven't finished filling it..." Doctor Tang said: "I'm really sorry, how can I trouble you! Grace, Grace..." A fat Indonesian nurse came out quickly, and Doctor Tang ordered: "You bring this lady in..." Frank also turned to Wen Jiajia and said, "I'll wait for you outside." This consulting room is no different from those seen in movies and TV dramas, with some medical equipment, a doctor, a bed, and the smell of medicine in the air. Wen Jiajia was lying on the bed, still a little nervous.

That doctor Tang was reviewing Wen Jiajia's prenatal examination records with a serious expression. After watching for a while, he said in a long voice, "I don't speak Chinese very well. It's okay if you really don't understand. Tell me, I can speak English, OK? Let me see how you are, Wen Jia Jia, from Beijing, wow, twenty-six years old, very young, there are not many girls who give birth at such a young age in Hong Kong. Let me tell you, the sooner a girl has a baby, the better, and the chances of having a boy are much higher. ..." After Dr. Tang finished talking, he walked over: "Come on, let me touch Baby..."

Doctor Tang touched Wen Jiajia's stomach and said, "You can ask Gigo... Oh, Sorry, it's Frank. He used to be a doctor. He will tell you how dangerous it is for older women to give birth..." doctor?That gang leader? Didn't everyone say that doctors are slightly obsessed with cleanliness?How could he tolerate being dirty like that? Next, Wen Jiajia didn't listen to what Dr. Tang was saying, her mind was already overwhelmed by Frank's miraculous history, and she couldn't wait to gossip.
