Volu 9 – Chapter 35: 债 Debt
The sound of cooking could be heard coming from the kitchen.
Dazhe, who had just replaced the light bulb, walked to the door, looked at Sister Lin, and said, “Sister Lin, I will tidy up your house at the sa ti.”
“Aiya, you can just sit and wait for dinner.”
“It’s okay. It will just take a while... Wow, that slls good.” Dazhe smiled.
Sister Lin said in a huff, “It’s just frying an egg. You make happy again.”
“Eggs are good. They are rich in nutrients,” said Dazhe. At the sa ti, he picked up the broom beside him and started to clean the living room.
“By the way, Gan Jing. What ti is it now?”
“It’s only twelve o’clock. It’s not one o’clock yet.” Gan Jing turned around and said, “What’s the matter?”
Sister Lin replied, “It’s nothing. There will be volunteers from the residential district visiting at two o’clock. I’m afraid that I will miss it.”
Dazhe was taken aback. He stopped and asked calmly, “Volunteers of the residential district?”
Sister Lin spoke while cooking, “Yes, the residential district’s volunteer team has planned to visit lonely widows and old people. It’s a recent thing. They often co to recently to help do this and that. They are a group of benevolent youngsters.”
Dazhe nodded, “That’s pretty good.”
Sister Lin said, “By the way, I will introduce you to them later! The people in the volunteer team said that they have never heard of a red cross society. They are curious about who you are, and are afraid that you are a bad person. But, I told them, how can you be a bad person? Gan Jing?”
“Oh, I’m here.” Dazhe said quickly. “I just poured so water to drink...Sister Lin, what did you say?”
Sister Lin said, “What can I say? I just told the truth. I said that you gave this house and the allowance. They were shocked and curious! They said that they didn’t think that there was such an excellent charity organization. They also said that if they can see you, they must get to know you better. It is even better if they have the opportunity to cooperate with you. That way, they can help more people. By the way, Gan Jing, now that you are here. Take this chance to get to know them later!”
“Okay.” Dazhe replied without batting an eyelid. “Sure. Since we are all doing the sa thing, it will be good to get to know each other... By the way, Sister Lin, I will help you get the food out!”
“Those guys are nice.” Sister Lin laughed. “Sotis, they help buy groceries for a week. Then, sotis, they co back to chat with , read the newspaper, and clean up my house. They will also take out for a stroll. By the way, they also ntioned about organizing activities for the elderly in the street. When the ti cos, they will take to participate in the event.”
“Well, they seem to be good.” Dazhe helped Sister Lin walk out.
“Yup.” Sister Lin sat down. All of a sudden, she asked as if she suddenly rembered sothing, “By the way, Gan Jing, how long are you staying for this visit? Last ti, you ca and stayed for about two months. Then, when you left, half a year has gone.”
“It’s hard to say. It depends on the situation. But, during this period of ti, I should still be here...” said Dazhe casually. “Why? Is sothing the matter?”
Sister Lin said, “If that is the case, why don’t you co to my place for dinner in two days?”
“Sure, I suppose I can co for dinner.” Dazhe asked with a smile. “Is there anything to celebrate?”
Sister Lin said, “What’s there to celebrate? Can’t I invite you for dinner? You didn’t tell in advance that you will co back. You see, when I ask you to stay back for a al, I only did so simple ho cooking. There is no delicious food. I felt guilty. So, I want to cook a delicious al for you. ”
“Alright then, I’ll co here.” Dazhe nodded.
In two days... it’s your birthday. How can I forget it? Even if you didn’t ntion it, I will still co back. Dazhe glanced at the calendar, hanging on the wall.
The volunteers probably bring this, right?
Dazhe took out the phone, adjusted the alarm’s sound, then put the phone on the table, and ate dinner with Sister Lin.
After eating, Dazhe washed the bowls, and then prepared the dinner ingredients. He put them aside for Sister Lin’s to use at night.
“Gan Jing, it seems that your phone rang, right?” Sister Lin, who was sitting in the living room, shouted at this ti, “Where did you put your phone?”
“Oh, it’s mine. It’s mine.” Dazhe walked out quickly. “I put it on the table. I forgot about it.”
“Then, you quickly answer it.”
“Hey... it’s .” Dazhe imdiately turned off the ringtone. While looking at Sister Lin, he casually said, “Now? No, it’s okay. Let check the ti. Are you okay with three o’clock? Alright, I try my best! Okay, goodbye.”
Sister Lin asked, “Gan Jing, what happened?”
“Nothing, just a small matter.”
Sister Lin said, “I think you seem to be in a hurry... Why don’t you go to work first? You don’t have to stay until three o’clock, specifically for . Besides, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. I can introduce the volunteer team to you another ti.”
“But this...”
Sister Lin smiled and said, “You, ah, it is already nice that you have the ti to visit ! If you have sothing to do, go ahead. Don’t let your business be delayed! Otherwise, I’m will be displeased!”
“Okay, then.” Dazhe nodded. “I’ll co over for dinner in two days. This is a promise. Sister Lin, you have to make sothing delicious for !”
“Alright, I will!”
Dazhe glanced at the ti. It was half-past one.
Dazhe quietly walked out of the community, but he did not go far. Instead, he hid away at the side. When it was two o’clock, he let out a sigh of relief when he saw so young n and won wearing red clothes and hats coming to the community.
It looks like a real volunteer team.
Dazhe let out a bitter laugh... He was skipping work today. After visiting Sister Lin, he suddenly did not know what else he could do. At this ti, a booming horn sound was heard from the roadside.
A Passat was stopped slowly. The window opened, and a head stuck out, “Brother Zhe! Brother Zhe!”
It’s Big Head.
Dazhe frowned, imdiately walked up to Big Head, and said solemnly, “Don’t shout!”
“Then...we will talk in the car?”
“You little fella...” Dazhe shook his head, but he got in the car. He looked at Big Head and just asked, “What are you doing here?”
“I’m looking for you. What else can I do?” Big Head replied. “Isn’t it because after you left, you didn’t even answer the phone? I went to the construction site where you worked and asked. They said you are not there. At this ti, I guess you didn’t go back to sister-in-law... Oh, ex-wife, the ex-wife’s village. That only left Sister Lin’s place. Now, I managed to run into you. Hehe, I, Big Head, am still smart!”
Dazhe stared at Big Head at this ti and said with a solemn expression, “Big Head, I warn you. You are not allowed to tell anyone about Sister Lin’s matter. Otherwise, I will kill you!”
“I know. I won’t say anything even if I was beaten up.” Big Head patted his chest and said. “Not to ntion that the fast money you earned from your work these years is used to take care of Sister Lin. You bought her a house and pretended to get so allowances for her. You even asked to pay up on ti every month or sothing... Man, I’m a little jealous. I never saw you treating like this. Anyway, we are brothers who are in the sa boat growing up, right?”
“I owe it to her.” Dazhe looked out the window.
Big Head looked at Dazhe and sighed, “Brother Zhe, as I said, you can’t bla yourself for what happened back then... After so many years, you should have stopped now, right?”
“Enough, don’t talk about it. I will deal with my affairs myself.” Dazhe knocked on the glass window of the car, with his gaze becoming harsh.
Big Head imdiately pursed his lips in fear.
“What are you still looking for for?” Dazhe frowned at this mont. “What? Your boss still refused to give up? He didn’t take my advice?”
“I was about to ask you!” said Big Head imdiately. “Brother Zhe, what on earth did you say to President Xiao? I saw his face becoming gloomy! By the way, let tell you. I don’t know what happened to President Xiao. Suddenly, he let his wife take their child to travel abroad.”
“When did this happen?”
“Just after I left Hongfu Building in the morning,” said Big Head. “He wanted to buy him a plane ticket. I guess. But, he changed his mind because he was afraid that I will tell you all about it. Huh, he thought that I am stupid... Man, I have conquered his nanny. I know everything, hehe! But, Brother Zhe, didn’t I remind you before I went to Hongfu Building? Why did you still cause a racket when you t with President Xiao? Now that I ntioned it, I’m angry. Aren’t you too forceful when you grabbed my collar?!”
“This guy Xiao Yucheng is sinister...” Dazhe frowned at this ti. “He let his wife and children go out, probably because he is trying to deal with these two days... Big Head, you send to Luo Ting’s village and drop there. I am a little worried. Then, you have to help pay attention to Xiao Yucheng’s actions!”
“This... Brother Zhe, are you going to deal with President Xiao with force?” Big Head asked in horror.
“Just drive.”
Dazhe closed his eyes and stopped talking.
