Chapter 349 Buying Fruit
At 8:50 a.m. on Saturday, Chen Yang got off the bus at the Central Hospital Station and walked to the gate of the inpatient department.
Chen Yang made an appointment with Ye Shiqi at 9 o'clock sharp. He thought he was a little early, but he didn't expect Ye Shiqi to be earlier than him.
Ye Shiqi wore a trendy and very beautiful light blue slim-fitting dress today.
This was the first time Chen Yang saw Ye Shiqi wearing this skirt, and he could tell at a glance that the price of this skirt was definitely not cheap.
At this time, the morning sun shone on Ye Shiqi's head and body through the gaps in the leaves above her head, and the light skirt swayed gently with the breeze.
Ye Shiqi is like a blooming flower, fresh and vivid.
She is already tall, and this figure-hugging dress makes her look even more upright.
Today, Ye Shiqi has no hair tied up. Her long black hair is draped behind her shoulders like a waterfall, and the ends of her hair will flutter in the wind from time to time.
Her eyes are clear and bright, and her face is filled with youthful vigor and vitality.
What was rare was that Ye Shiqi, who was usually stoic, actually had a smile on her face at this time. Although it was not bright, it was warm and friendly.
Passers-by could not help but glance sideways. Although Ye Shiqi was a little shy, her face was still generous and she maintained a slim posture.
"Squad leader!" Chen Yang waved and shouted from more than ten meters away.
When Ye Shiqi heard the voice, she immediately turned around and saw that Chen Yang was coming, and the smile on her face suddenly became bigger.
"Chen Yang." Ye Shiqi came over immediately.
Chen Yang walked to Ye Shiqi, stood in front of her, and asked, "Squad leader, you came so early."
Ye Shiqi shook her head and said, "No, I just arrived. The main reason is that the bus came faster today, so I didn't have to wait too long."
Chen Yang nodded, and then looked at Ye Shiqi up and down.
Ye Shiqi thought Chen Yang was admiring her new skirt, so she lowered her head in embarrassment, folding her hands and placing them under her belly, feeling vaguely ashamed.
"My outfit today...doesn't it look good?" Ye Shiqi secretly bit her lip after asking.
Ye Shiqi certainly didn't ask this because her dress really didn't look good.
On the contrary, she struggled with this dress for two or three days before choosing it, just to make Chen Yang look dazzling.
Chen Yang shook his head and smiled: "How could it be possible? Monitor, you look very good today."
When Ye Shiqi heard this, she suddenly felt happy. She really made the right choice.
Ye Shiqi felt Chen Yang's eyes still moving on her, and her cheeks couldn't help but turn red.
"Then you don't have to... keep staring at me."
When saying this, Ye Shiqi did not dare to look into Chen Yang's eyes.
Chen Yang quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, I'm just wondering why you are empty-handed. Shouldn't you bring some fruit or flowers when visiting a patient?"
Ye Shiqi replied: "I want to wait for you to come and discuss the purchase together."
Chen Yang said: "You and Ren Can are relatively familiar with each other. You can just decide this matter without asking me."
Ye Shiqi looked around, then pointed to a nearby fruit shop and said, "Let's go to that shop to buy some. There are wrapped fruit baskets."
After saying that, the two went to the fruit shop.
There are many fruit baskets in the fruit shop, with various combinations of fruits.
Of course, the prices are also different. The expensive one costs more than one hundred, while the cheap one costs twenty or thirty.
Ye Shiqi picked for a while, then pointed to a fruit basket priced at 58 yuan and asked: "Chen Yang, how about this?"
Chen Yang took a look, nodded and said, "Very good."
Seeing what Chen Yang said, Ye Shiqi said to the boss's wife: "Boss, we want this."
With that said, Ye Shiqi took out a hundred yuan from her dress pocket and prepared to pay.
The proprietress of the fruit shop was a middle-aged woman in her forties. When she saw how cheerful Ye Shiqi was, she immediately nodded and said yes with a smile.
Just when Ye Shiqi reached out to pick up the fruit basket, the landlady said: "Beauty, this fruit basket is for display. The fruits in it are two days old and not very fresh. I'll get them for you." I guess it was just wrapped this morning."
With that said, the proprietress quickly went to the back and brought out a fruit basket, which looked exactly like the sample fruit basket.
Ye Shiqi immediately felt that the lady boss was quite nice, so she smiled and thanked her, and then handed over the banknotes.
Just when the landlady was about to take the money, Chen Yang suddenly pulled Ye Shiqi back, and the landlady's hand suddenly felt lonely.
The landlady looked up at Chen Yang with confusion on her face.
Ye Shiqi was also puzzled and asked Chen Yang in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
Chen Yang indicated with his eyes that Ye Shiqi didn't have to pay in a hurry, and then said to the boss's wife: "Boss, we don't want this fruit basket! Please pack a new one for us!"
As soon as these words came out, the landlady's face visibly paused.
Immediately afterwards, the landlady said with a smile: "Handsome, that's not necessary. I just wrapped this fruit basket this morning."
Chen Yang glanced at the fruit basket in the landlady's hand, and then said: "Okay, you can help me open it and take a look. If the fruit inside is not bad, I want this."
Something strange flashed across the landlady's face.
The next moment, I heard the landlady say with a smile: "Handsome man, this fruit basket has already been wrapped. I unwrapped it and then rewrapped it. Isn't it a waste of time!"
Chen Yang immediately asked: "If I don't open it and take a look, how can I be sure that the fruit inside is not bad?"
"Handsome, don't worry. I've been running a fruit shop here for many years. I will never sell stale fruit to customers!" The landlady said with integrity on her face.
Chen Yang didn't want to waste time with the boss lady, so he said firmly: "Boss boss, if you are not willing to make a new one, then we will go to the store next door to buy it."
After that, Chen Yang was about to take Ye Shiqi away. Anyway, there were many fruit shops on this street, so there was no need to worry about not being able to buy fruit.
The proprietress became anxious when she saw it, and quickly stepped forward to stop the two of them, promising to pack a new fruit basket for them immediately.
Ten minutes later, the new fruit basket was wrapped.
Chen Yang was watching the entire process of packaging the fruit basket, with the purpose of ensuring that every fruit was fresh and intact.
"Thank you, boss lady!"
Chen Yang smiled and thanked, then picked up the fruit basket and left the fruit shop with Ye Shiqi.
As soon as the two left, the smile on the landlady's face quickly disappeared. She curled her lips and muttered dissatisfiedly: "This guy is too good!"
After leaving the fruit shop, Ye Shiqi couldn't help but ask: "Chen Yang, why do you have to ask the landlady to pack a new fruit basket?"
Chen Yang glanced at Ye Shiqi and said as he walked: "Squad leader, try not to buy fruit baskets at the fruit shop near the hospital in the future."
"Why?" Ye Shiqi asked.
Chen Yang replied: "First of all, the fruit shops near the hospital are generally expensive."
"Secondly, a lot of their fruits are not very fresh, and sometimes they hide damaged fruits at the bottom."
Ye Shiqi was a little surprised and asked: "Then they are not afraid of being discovered and others will cause trouble?"
Chen Yang explained patiently: "Squad leader, think about it, most of the people who buy fruit baskets near the hospital go to visit patients, and most of them won't open them for inspection."
"Many of the patients will not open the fruit baskets in person after receiving them. When they open them, they will not say anything if they find rotten fruit..."
"Because the fruit basket is given by someone visiting the hospital, they can't call them and tell them... Hey, what fruit basket did you send? The fruits in it are rotten, hurry up and replace them with fresh ones... ....Am I right?"
Chen Yang's tone was funny, and Ye Shiqi couldn't help but laugh.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Shiqi said: "There should be rotten fruits hidden under the fruit basket that the landlady gave me just now. Otherwise, why would she have been unwilling to open it for us to see!"
