"Yeah, because I was transferred to another department, the hospital gave me three days off."
"Oh, you were transferred? Where are you now?" the neighbor, Auntie Wu, asked enthusiastically.
Huo Mian smiled and replied, "I'm in the laboratory. I only need to draw blood for tests."
"That's good, that's easy. I told your mom a long time ago not to let you work in the OB/GYN department, the responsibility is too heavy. Those pregnant women are all spoiled, and if you don't take care of them well, they'll definitely find fault with you. It's good that you were transferred."
"Yeah, it's relatively easier here, and I don't have night shifts anymore."
"Huh? Mian, why didn't your boyfriend come with you? "
The neighbors loved to gossip, and a few aunts who were close to Huo Mien's mother asked at once.
"I broke up with him, already."
"What? You broke up? Didn't you hear that you were getting married? Why did you break up? "Sure enough, this piqued the aunts' interest.
Huo Mien was a bit embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
Just then, Jing Zhixin walked out of the room and took the cake from his sister's hand, saying, "Young people nowadays don't have a reason for breaking up, they just don't think their personalities are compatible."
"But isn't that guy a doctor? His job is pretty good, isn't it? "
The aunts seemed to think that it was a pity that Huo Mien broke up with Ning Zhiyuan.
"What's so good about it? Even though he's a doctor, he's only an intern, and he might not even become a full-time employee. Plus, that guy's temper doesn't match my sister's, and when they were discussing marriage, a lot of details couldn't be handled properly, so they decided to break up peacefully."
"Oh, so that's what happened." Jing Zhixin's answer for his sister was pretty good.
The aunts were speechless as well …
Soon, Yang Meirong brought out the dishes she had made.
There were eight in total, and in the middle was the cake that Jing Zhixin ordered for Huo Mien.
Other than Yang Meirong, Huo Mien, and Jing Zhixin, there were three other aunts. Auntie Wu was close to Yang Meirong.
The other two were a bit worse, and Huo Mien didn't like them very much.
It was not because they were poor, but because most of them were just ordinary citizens.
She liked to take advantage of others, liked to gossip about other people's affairs, and was also snobbish. She especially looked down on poor people.
Auntie Wu had a son who was already 30 years old but still had no girlfriend.
It was because Auntie Wu's family was a little rich. They had two houses in the city and a retail store. Her son also worked in a bank.
Therefore, he had gone on dozens of blind dates, but none of them were successful. Most of the time, it was because the girl's family background was not good enough.
"Mom, happy birthday." Huo Mien took out the dress he had bought and handed it to her.
When Aunt Wang saw the sign, she asked, "Hey, isn't this Brother? This brand is not cheap. How much did you pay for it? Mian. "
"Not much."
"How much is' not much '?" Aunt Wang asked relentlessly.
"More than 1,200."
"One thousand two hundred isn't much? Your monthly salary is only two thousand, right? Tsk tsk … You actually bought such an expensive dress."
Auntie Wang's words revealed her disdain for Huo Mian.
Yang Meirong took the dress, looked down, and casually said, "That's why it's good to have a daughter. She earns two thousand a month, but she can spend 1,200 on a dress for me. She's not like some people who have sons. Their sons earn ten thousand a month, but they can't even afford to buy anything for their mothers."
Auntie Wang heard this and immediately felt embarrassed. She didn't say anything else.
She heard that her son didn't even call her on her birthday a while ago. He probably forgot. Apparently, her son came back from abroad from Singapore. He worked in a foreign company and earned fifteen thousand a month.
"Sister, you have a good life. Both your children are filial. Zhixin went to school and saved money to buy you shoes. You didn't dote on them for nothing," Auntie Wu said, trying to smooth things over.
Just then, Auntie Liu said, "It would be even better if your Old Jing was still here. The whole family would be happy. What a pity …"
Upon hearing Uncle Jing's name, Huo Mien's eyes reddened. She felt a little depressed.
