Chapter 617 Let’s Eat Dog Food Together
"I didn't feel anything when I was at work, but now that I have a holiday, I feel so bored." Zhuang Yan said bored.

"Go to the gym. Haven't you always thought that Lao Liu's butterfly bones look nice? You can try to exercise them now that you have time." Meng Liangren said with a smile.

"Let me tell you, I had it when I was an undergraduate, but I haven't had it since I started clinical practice. Go, go, go, go, go."

"How about I treat you to dinner some other day?" Meng Liangren asked tentatively.

"What other day is it?"

"Tonight, there are not many people in my hometown, and my parents are not at home either. I was thinking of staying in the old house. But when I tried today, the kang was blocked."

Zhuang Yan didn’t know what it meant that the fire bed was blocked, and she didn’t even know whether it was true or not, but she agreed.

"Then I'll go to the gym. I really envy Sister Yiyi's butterfly bones."

Zhuang Yan wailed, as if reminiscing about the days before she came to the clinic.

Although she knew very well that Lao Liu's butterfly bones were not developed overnight, and that they were acquired through childhood training and he had to endure countless hardships since childhood, this did not stop Zhuang Yan from being envious.

"Okay, I'll just take a cab to the gym, give me the address."

After hanging up the phone, Meng Liangren had a strange expression on his face.

Even a fool would know that something was wrong. Meng Liangren didn't rush to do anything. He wrapped himself in his military coat and sat down in the snow.

"Xiao Meng, are you going home to burn paper?" A middle-aged man came over. Seeing that Meng Liangren was wearing a military coat, he laughed and said, "I heard that you are divorced?"

"Yeah." Meng Liangren nodded honestly.

"Oh, we can't find wives in the countryside, and you, a city guy, are still worried? Women are everywhere." The man patted Meng Liangren's shoulder hard, making a loud noise, "Come to my place to drink tonight."

"Brother, I won't go." Meng Liangren felt a little bleak and sighed, "My parents are gone. I will go back after I burn the paper."

"What do you think of next door?" the man asked.

next door?

There are very few people in the village. Those who can leave have moved to the town. There is a family living next door, but they are just a couple.

A few years ago, the couple went to work in the south, and I don’t know how they were doing. When Meng Liangren came back, he saw smoke coming from the kitchen next door and knew that someone was living there.

"Have Zhuzi and his wife returned to celebrate the New Year?"

"No, they said Zhuzi was making breakfast in the south, living with a woman from Nanhe, and Cuilian came back by herself."

“???” Meng Liangren’s head was full of question marks, but then he grinned and wanted to smile.

The misty breath rises.

It is not uncommon to see temporary couples in the village. Some people say they are going out to work, and it is common for three or four people to live together.

It is normal to make a living, and Meng Liangren is open-minded about it.

"If you are in the city, you can take Cui Lian away. Someone will cook you a hot meal. As for this family, there must be a wife." The man took out a box of Huangguoshu and handed one to Meng Liangren.

Meng Liangren hesitated for a moment, but still took the cigarette.

He took a puff, not sure if it was smoke or breath, but in front of Meng Liangren's eyes, there was a mist rising, like a fairyland.

"You're not having a good life either, so you and Cui Lian should stop looking down on each other."

Meng Liangren grinned and smiled again.

I went home by myself, and I wore a military coat on purpose. First, it was resistant to freezing and cold, and no matter how strong the wind was, it was difficult for the military coat to blow through.

Secondly, I am worried about some things.

I am afraid that my brother will suffer, and I am also afraid that he will drive a Land Rover. It is human nature.

If you don't live well, the villagers will at least not do anything to your ancestral graves. But if you live well, who knows how people's hearts will change.

If you live a harder life, or at least appear to live a harder life, others will treat you better. If you slip away, nothing will necessarily happen.

"Brother, forget it." Meng Liangren said.

"You're still pretending! Cui Lian is not bad looking, she's more than a perfect match for you."

"I have a husband."

"What's wrong with having a husband? Aren't you a widow now? Wait for Zhuzi to come back and find you, then let him take Cui Lian away. Cui Lian is a person who can make a living, she won't be a burden to you."

"Forget it, forget it." Meng Liangren was overwhelmed.

I haven't been back to my hometown for a long time. Although I can understand some things, Meng Liangren can't do them.

"Why are you so pretentious? You married a wife who didn't even lay an egg for you. What's the point?"

"Brother, I have things to do over there." Meng Liangren sighed, "It's hard to make a living in the city. I'll give you three times the money on New Year's Eve. I came back to burn paper and leave a memory. I have to go back to make money."

"To be honest, I can barely support myself, let alone support another person."

“You may say I’m a city person, but life in the city is hard too.”

The man looked Meng Liangren up and down.

Meng Liangren curled up into a ball under his military coat, and wrinkles appeared on his square face.

Although he looked healthy, no matter how healthy his complexion was, it couldn't stand the green military coat as the background.

"You." The man patted Meng Liangren's shoulder vigorously, "Go and get busy. I'll get you a kang in the spring so you'll have a place to stay when you come back. If there's anything that's inconvenient for you to go back, just let me know and I'll do it for you."

"Ah."

"Don't panic if you encounter problems outside. After all, you still have a home."

Meng Liangren nodded.

The two chatted for the time it took to smoke a cigarette, and before leaving, Meng Liangren forced a red envelope on the man, saying that it was for buying some delicious food for his old lady.

This is a necessary courtesy. Meng Liangren brought back five red envelopes, but only gave out one.

The crunching sound of stepping on the snow made Meng Liangren feel a little cold.

The lively hometown when I was a child seemed to be gone, and there was no trace of it anymore. But Meng Liangren felt that he had a bright future. Looking ahead, Meng Liangren smiled again.

Xiaozhuang probably doesn't have any other intentions, so I shouldn't be so self-indulgent, Meng Liangren thought to himself.

But Meng Liangren's mentality has changed recently.

When Shen Zizai introduced the guy to himself, he said that in Professor Luo's medical team, it was normal for him to be called Lao Meng, and his identity would always be the senior attending physician who was transferred from the hospital.

But apart from Professor Luo’s medical team, isn’t he also an expert?
He is also an expert in summoning and can summon Professor Luo anytime and anywhere.

Although this is just a joke, in the past month or so, many people have tried to introduce me to someone.

I had become a popular person without realizing it.

When I first came to the First Hospital of Medical University, I was very careful when writing medical records every day, for fear that I would displease Professor Luo and be kicked away.

But now Meng Liangren no longer thinks so, and has established a firm foothold in the medical team.

By writing medical records well and taking care of logistics, Professor Luo can focus on more important things, and my own status will also rise.

This is what you should do, there is no point thinking about anything else.

Meng Liangren was thinking in his heart, and every time he thought of Zhuang Yan, he tried hard to turn his thoughts back.

You should be aware of your situation when you are in trouble. Don't wait for Dean Zhuang to come to you and make you look embarrassed.

Moreover, Meng Liangren remembered that when Dr. Chen was with Lao Liu, Professor Luo didn't seem to like office romances.

Forget it, just leave it to fate. Meng Liangren couldn't figure it out, so he could only leave it to fate. As for what he could do, Meng Liangren thought that he just had to hold on to Professor Luo's thighs tightly.

Is there anything simpler in life than this?
I used to be in hell mode, but suddenly it became simple mode. As for these troubles, they are all happy troubles.

Mr. Meng is content.

There was really smoke coming out of the ancestral grave.

He took a three-wheeled motorcycle to town, then took a taxi to the high-speed rail station. After several attempts, he finally arrived downstairs at the gym at 7 o'clock in the evening.

The gym is brightly lit, completely different from my hometown.

Meng Liangren sent a message to Zhuang Yan, but received a reply from Zhuang Yan asking him to go upstairs.

Go upstairs? Meng Liangren was a little embarrassed.

He was still wearing his military coat.

It's okay to pretend to be poor when returning to my hometown, but it would be embarrassing to go up and embarrass Zhuang Yan.

But Zhuang Yan urged him so much that Meng Liangren had no choice but to stop thinking about other things and go upstairs to see what was going on.

Zhuang Yan has already changed her clothes, her skin is fair and rosy, and looks radiant.

"Old Meng, Old Meng." Zhuang Yan was not surprised to see Meng Liangren wearing a green military coat. When she saw him coming up, she waved, "Look at that man!"

Meng Liangren was startled and looked in the direction of Zhuang Yan's hand.

There was a muscular man doing strength training and press-ups, but Meng Liangren had no idea how many kilograms he was doing.

With that body of muscular tissue, Meng Liangren estimated that he would have eight pack abs when he stood up. He was the guy with double doors and eight pack abs that everyone on the Internet had been dreaming of.

Could it be a round face with a beard?
But Meng Liangren doesn't look like it no matter how you look at it.

"What's wrong?" Meng Liangren asked in a low voice, puzzled.

"Wait until he sits up."

Meng Liangren looked at it intently. He knew Zhuang Yan very well and Zhuang Yan would not ask him to look at her abdominal muscles.

I still remember that one day Zhuang Yan said that her group with her best friends was blocked. I don’t know what kind of 18+ things she and her best friends said in the group, but even Tencent directly blocked the account.

After a few minutes, the man sat up.

Meng Liangren was stunned for a moment.

The man had very short hair, a buzz cut, but his head was shaped oddly, with a point on top.

Meng Liangren immediately thought of the poem "The little lotus has just shown its pointed tip", but no dragonfly had landed on it.

"Old Meng, have you ever seen this?" Zhuang Yan asked.

Meng Liangren shook his head.

"I always see this kind of people when I come to the gym to work out." Zhuang Yan was also a little confused, but it was impolite to stare at someone, so the two went downstairs.

"Is there something weird about the gym?"

"There may be something wrong with the medicine you take for fitness. I heard that you need to take protein powder or something like that when you do fitness." Meng Liangren said.

Zhuang Yan thought about it, picked up her phone, and called Luo Hao directly.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

"I'm fishing with Boss Chai." Luo Hao's voice was gentle. Even though he was standing aside, only a little bit of it could be heard. Meng Liangren suddenly felt his heart calm down.

It seemed as if it didn’t matter if there were mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, the person on the other end of the phone could handle it all.

"Let me ask you a question." Zhuang Yan repeated her doubts.

"That's it?"

"Yes."

"You don't know?" Luo Hao was a little surprised.

"I definitely don't know, otherwise why would I ask you." Zhuang Yan said, "Brother, please help me bring it to Boss Chai and wish him a happy new year."

"I've prayed, and the boss is very satisfied with the paper cranes you folded." Luo Hao said, "Generally speaking, the ones with pointy ends are the result of the use of technology. Ordinary steroids will not have such a result, but if you are cruel and ruthless and use drugs like IGF-1, the situation you mentioned may occur." "What is IGF-1?" Zhuang Yan didn't understand.

She usually spends her time in the hospital. After coming to the First Hospital of Medical University, she rarely even checks her phone and devotes herself to clinical work.

“It’s called insulin-like growth factor I, which is a single-chain polypeptide with endocrine, autocrine and paracrine properties.

IGF-1 is mainly produced by human liver cells, and bone tissue is the second largest producer. It has the functions of promoting growth and development, promoting mitosis, and inhibiting cell apoptosis. It can be used clinically to monitor the growth and development of the body. "

"At a certain age, the body stops secreting it. For bodybuilding purposes, some people start using IGF-1, which results in the regrowth of the closed fontanelles, causing the top of the head to open up."

"Ouch!" Zhuang Yan let out a cry, indicating that she understood.

Meng Liangren's eyes widened when he heard this. He actually used IGF-1 on himself for the sake of bodybuilding?

This medicine has serious side effects.

And the side effects are so obvious, horns grow on the top of the head!

"Don't use it, I'm telling you, Xiaozhuang." Luo Hao's voice became serious.

"I don't need it. It just looks weird."

"A box costs more than a thousand yuan, and many people can't afford it. Guess what they eat?" Luo Hao asked.

"???"

"???"

Zhuang Yan and Meng Liang were both stunned.

"What's more effective is testosterone propionate injection. Give yourself an injection."

"Brother, wait a minute." Zhuang Yan stopped Luo Hao, "Isn't testosterone propionate a drug for treating male dysplasia? There is also a part for treating female cancer and osteoporosis in the elderly."

“Testosterone propionate can increase muscle mass and strength – Testosterone propionate can increase protein synthesis, which can increase muscle mass.”

"..."

"But this medicine is not cheap for human use, it costs about 500 per box. I saw in the group that some people use testosterone propionate for animals to save money."

"Ga!" Zhuang Yan was stunned.

"So the head becomes pointy. In other words, the technology is so advanced that it's almost soaring into the sky."

"Xiao Zhuang, just run casually, but don't buy any steroids or anything like that! Don't take those messy things casually." Luo Hao warned sternly.

"Yes, I know, brother."

"Let me tell you, some bad fitness coaches mix animal-grade testosterone propionate into protein powder and steroids. If you eat that, you'll grow a palm-sized amount of hair!"

Luo Hao’s last sentence scared Zhuang Yan.

But when I think about it, testosterone propionate is a type of male hormone. If you take a large amount of it... you will become neither male nor female.

"I understand, Senior Brother. Don't worry."

"Well, I won't nag anymore. Even the boss thinks I sound too much like a father. Xiaozhuang, go home and help me bring good news to your old man. I'm back from Donglian and will visit your house to wish you a happy new year."

"Ha, okay."

Zhuang Yan hung up the phone.

"It's so scary." Zhuang Yan raised her head and took a look at the gym. It turned out that those muscular men with pointed heads were all induced by drugs.

I really don't know why they can use these things for themselves.

However, Luo Hao said that some of the bad fitness coaches mixed veterinary testosterone propionate into the protein powder, and that thing must be very useful.

"I met a patient." Meng Liangren gossiped hurriedly to distract Zhuang Yan's attention.

"what happened?"

"Femoral head necrosis. It is said that the talisman paper was often used by a witch in their village. Later, I saw that the talisman paper was soaked in dexamethasone, and the dosage was quite large. Moreover, it seemed that there was some veterinary antibiotics in it."

“…”Zhuang Yan suddenly felt that the world was full of malice.

"Let's go and have something to eat." said Meng Liangren.

"Now I don't dare to eat out." said Zhuang Yan.

"Well, it's the same with eating at home, unless you can control the entire industry chain, like Professor Luo's canteen. But now the canteen has also gone home for the New Year, there's nothing we can do."

"How about we eat dog food?" Zhuang Yan took out a bag of dog food from her bag.

In the cold wind, the dog food seemed to be grinning at Meng Liangren with ill intentions.

"..." Meng Liangren wanted to refuse, but no sound came out.

"Would you like to eat together~~~" Once Zhuang Yan started to speak, Meng Liangren couldn't resist at all.

After walking around casually, Zhuang Yan felt a little tired, so she sat down on a chair on the side of the road.

In the cold wind, she took out the dog food so sweetly.

"The Northeast is too cold, the South is better. I don't know when I can go to the capital."

"Get up." Meng Liangren quickly pulled Zhuang Yan up and looked around, "Wait for me."

Looking at Meng Liangren's clumsy running figure, Zhuang Yan laughed, "I'll wait for you to buy me some oranges."

This joke is so old. Meng Liangren heard it clearly, but didn't say anything. He ran to a store and asked for a piece of foam and put it on the bench.

"sit down."

"Hey, Lao Meng, don't you want to sit down?"

"I'm wearing a military coat." Meng Liangren pulled his military coat closer.

"Why are you wearing this when you go home? I thought you were going to rent a Maybach at least. Are you going to return home in glory?" Zhuang Yan handed the dog food to Meng Liangren beside her, "Don't tell me, the meteor shower that your first love wanted to watch with you was actually the meteor shower that passed through the Maybach's starry sky."

"It's better to keep a low profile when you return to your hometown, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble." Meng Liangren said honestly, "There's no need to cause yourself so much trouble. Living a good life is your own, not for others to see."

Crunch~~~
Dog food actually smells quite good, Meng Liangren thought.

"Will we have dumplings for New Year's Day?" Zhuang Yan asked while eating dog food.

"Have."

Zhuang Yan cast a disdainful look at him, "Can't you just say no?"

"It's true." said Meng Liangren.

Zhuang Yan smiled.

A stray dog ​​ran over and looked up at the dog food that Zhuang Yan was eating, but it didn't take it. Instead, it sat down with its back to Zhuang Yan.

Zhuang Yan retracted her feet, but the puppy rubbed against her feet again until its back was pressed against her feet.

"Old Meng, what do you want it to do?" Zhuang Yan asked.

"It was probably bullied, so it pretended to have an owner." Meng Liangren explained, "You are its backer. Pretending to have an owner will make it easier for you to survive in this area."

"Eh? Old Meng, do you think it looks like you?" Zhuang Yan asked.

"???"

This is what it means to be familiar with each other. Meng Liangren knew that when Zhuang Yan talked to him, she didn't think at all and just said whatever came to her mind.

At this moment, Zhuang Yan felt that she was a bit like a stray dog.

But when I think about it carefully, I really look a lot like this stray dog.

Meng Liangren laughed, asked Zhuang Yan to pour him some dog food, and tentatively fed the stray dog.

"Do you still like this?" Zhuang Yan asked with a smile.

"I only like my own. Now that I have met it and it wants you to be its backer, I will feed it some dog food."

Meng Liangren ate a piece of dog food and gave a piece of dog food to the little stray dog. The man and the dog ate happily.

"Whether it's a human or a dog, it's not easy to survive," said Zhuang Yan.

"Yeah." Meng Liangren nodded, as if he was thinking about something.

"I said you think too much and waste your energy." Zhuang Yan said disdainfully, "Old Meng, do you want to send him to I Love You first, give him a physical examination, give him an injection, and then put him in an orphanage?"

"..." Meng Liangren was speechless. Zhuang Yan had guessed everything about his thoughts.

Zhuang Yan took out her cell phone without waiting for Meng Liangren to answer.

"Just do it if you want to. Senior brother won't scold you for this."

"But... no, I don't know the boss I love and pamper."

"Look at me." Zhuang Yan picked up the phone and called directly.

"Mr. Shi, I'm a friend of Dr. Chen." Zhuang Yan was not polite at all and directly brought up Chen Yong.

“!!!” Meng Liangren was surprised.

"Yes, yes, yes, today I met a stray dog ​​by chance. It's hard to say what fate is. Is it convenient for you?"

"Okay, okay, let's go over there."

Zhuang Yan hung up the phone and looked at Meng Liangren.

"Brother Yong's face is different from that of my senior brother. By saving Brother Yong's face, my beloved boss will only feel that he has a great opportunity. Besides, Brother Yong is easy to talk to, unlike my senior brother who is often hypocritical."

"..."

"The little guy relies on me as a supporter, so I have to do something to help him, otherwise I would be wasting his kindness and the fate we have today. By the way, Lao Meng, the cushion you found for me is quite warm."

"Be careful. Don't catch a cold if you don't wear enough."

Meng Liangren asked for a cardboard box and talked to the stray dog ​​for a few words to see if it would follow him.

This stray dog ​​is really interesting. It obediently jumped into the cardboard box and shivered.

Meng Liangren felt that this scene was familiar.

At this time last year, the infectious disease hospital was going to divert patients. I must have been shivering, trying to find a support in the cold wind to avoid being bullied to death.

But I found it myself.

It could be considered fate, or maybe it really was. Meng Liangren didn't want to make trouble, because life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by heaven.

But with this in mind, he carried the stray dog ​​into Zhuang Yan's car.

"Buzz~~~" A sound came out of Zhuang Yan's mouth, simulating a street explosion.

Meng Liangren thought it was fun, but he didn't play with Zhuang Yan, and he still felt a little restrained, just like a stray dog.

"Old Meng, my senior brother must be busy with the Jieqing this year. What are you going to do? Do you have any plans?"

"My plan? To complete all the tasks assigned by Professor Luo."

"No wonder my dad said you are a very calculating person."

“???” Meng Liangren’s heart tightened for no reason and he felt a little lost.

"My dad just talked to me about doing a work summary. Really, I haven't had enough meetings at work, so he insisted on going home to hold a meeting for me to summarize last year's work and look forward to the future."

"How did you talk?"

"Just like I said, it's as if I didn't say anything. Complete all the tasks assigned by Senior Brother and try to satisfy him."
