Dong Qiangqiang ate fish sauce mixed rice thoughtfully. The door was pushed open with a creak. Dong Qiangqiang didn't even raise his head: "I just suddenly remembered something..."
"What did you say?" A female voice said in German above Dong Qiangqiang's head, "I don't understand."
Dong Qiangqiang turned his head and saw his landlady Sasha standing at the kitchen door wearing a nightgown and holding coffee.
"Sorry, I thought you were my classmate." Dong Qiangqiang pointed to the dishes on the table and said politely, "Would you like to try some authentic Chinese food?"
"I have something to ask you now." Sasha looked serious.
Dong Qiangqiang didn't understand, so he nodded and said, "K, what do you want to ask?"
Sasha quickly sat down opposite Dong Qiangqiang, stared firmly into Dong Qiangqiang's eyes, and asked word by word: "Max said he put a lot less eggs in the refrigerator last week and this week. What have you done recently?" Did you miss anything in the refrigerator?"
"No." Dong Qiangqiang immediately denied it categorically. At the same time, he sat up straight and said in a deep voice, "I have never taken other people's things from the refrigerator. Never." After saying that, he immediately stood up from the chair and took two steps. Walk to the refrigerator.
The refrigerator in the public kitchen is a Siemens double-door refrigerator, which is nearly two meters high. There is a lot of space inside the refrigerator. Although it is not the latest model on the market, it has good refrigeration and freezing effects. Residents in the entire building share the same refrigerator, but everyone has different available space.
Dong Qiangqiang opened the door of the refrigerator on the left, pointed to the compartment assigned to him by Sasha and said: "Every Saturday I buy food for the next week in advance. I don't need to take anything from anyone, even if it's only three Eggs for ten pfennig.” (Note: 1 German mark = 100 German pfennig)
Sasha looked directly and saw that Dong Qiangqiang's compartments were neatly stacked with eggs, drinks, semi-finished meats and various tightly packaged vegetables. It can be seen that Dong Qiangqiang has mild obsessive-compulsive disorder.
"I now buy one or two boxes of eggs every week. If I finish eating, I go to the supermarket to buy new ones." Dong Qiangqiang's tone became more serious. He knew that this kind of thing must be firmly denied at the first time without any ambiguity. Otherwise, it will leave the impression of a guilty conscience. And he guessed that Max might have used the word "steal" to describe himself, "Look, I still have almost two full boxes of eggs. This is what's left after I finished cooking this table."
Dong Qiangqiang speaks with facts: He has sufficient reserves and there is no need to reach out and steal things from other people's compartments.
Sasha blushed slightly. Under Dong Qiangqiang's compartment were several layers of hers, and all her food was piled randomly, looking messy.
After Dong Qiangqiang finished speaking, he opened the door of the refrigerator on the right side. He saw that the space on the right side of the refrigerator was nearly one-third larger than the space on the left side. However, in sharp contrast to the left side, there were only a few bottles in the right compartment. Apart from Coke and beer, there was only a pack of frozen food thrown in the corner of the cold room. The quick-frozen food may have been left in the refrigerator for a long time, and the packaging bags have long been defrosted. The melted water dripped down to the bottom layer along the gaps between the partition fences, and a circle has already been left on the bottom glass. Light gray water stains.
Dong Qiangqiang glanced at Max's empty storage room, turned around and asked, "Are you sure he didn't lie?"
When Max complained to Sasha that someone had stolen his eggs, he didn't directly say who stole them. He just made some insinuations and insinuations. But there were only four people in the building, and the drunkard brother didn't know how to cook, so there was no need to say more. Dong Qiangqiang, the last person to move in, is somewhat suspicious.
Sasha actually didn’t quite believe Max’s words, because Dong Qiangqiang paid the housing deposit on the first day he moved in, paid the room fee on time every month, and cleaned the kitchen and toilets that the cleaning lady hadn’t even cleaned up, and also made them look brand new. I paid myself the company address usage fee. At the same time, he doesn't have any bad habits, and the people he associates with all seem to be students, so he is a high-quality tenant in every aspect. If you and your boyfriend Maxby complain about the difficulty of finding a job all day long and often resort to drinking to drown his sorrows, it will be like heaven and earth.
Before talking to Dong Qiangqiang, Sasha had already thought that if Dong Qiangqiang really accidentally took Max's eggs, she was more willing to believe that Dong Qiangqiang did it unintentionally. But after all, it was not a good sign for this kind of thing to happen, and Max was stingy. Based on the principle of guarding against the slightest possibility, she still chose to communicate with Dong Qiangqiang as soon as possible. If Dong Qiangqiang was really at fault, she would give him a verbal warning once and not do it again.
But she still forgot one thing, which was to check to see if there were any eggs in the compartment of Max's refrigerator before talking. Facts speak louder than words, let alone eggs, not even Eggshell Max. Dong Qiangqiang really didn't need to take Max's things, because he didn't have to take them. Instead, it was better for others not to take his things.
"It's fine if you didn't take it. I originally believed that you wouldn't do such a thing. There might be some misunderstanding." Sasha looked a little confused, spread his hands and said bitterly, "You know, I haven't done anything before. This kind of thing has happened to me before, so I hope it won’t happen again in the future.”
"We don't do such despicable things." Dong Qiangqiang said righteously, "If Max says that I stole it, I can confront him face to face. But if he can't produce evidence, he must apologize to me. This is Matter of principle."
Sasha frowned and said: "He didn't say you stole it. I just came to ask, don't be too sensitive. You have made it clear just now, and I believe what you said, so the matter ends here." Sasha made a cutting motion with her hands in the air.
Dong Qiangqiang was framed as a thief. He felt very unhappy and could not help but feel a little worried on his face.
Seeing Dong Qiangqiang's ugly face, Sasha felt embarrassed and a little angry. She thought to herself that I didn't say he was a thief, so why did he look like I owed him money.
Just when the atmosphere in the room became tense, Lao Bai opened the door and walked in, holding his cell phone: "A coincidence or not? We just talked about leading a group, and there was a group..." He saw at a glance that he was wearing pajamas. Sasha was slightly startled and asked Dong Qiangqiang in a low voice in Chinese: "Your friend?"
"Landlord." Dong Qiangqiang replied angrily.
"Hello." Lao Bai took the initiative to extend his hand and said, "I am Dong Qiangqiang's classmate. Nice to meet you. Your house is very beautiful."
Sasha looked at Lao Bai, who had flowing white hair, and responded politely: "Hello."
As soon as Lao Bai entered the door, he could see the tension between the two of them. He suddenly pointed at the fish and asked Sasha: "Well, do you want to try the sweet and sour fish I made? It's delicious."
"Is this a fish?" Sasha sniffed hard, "Well, it smells pretty good."
"This is authentic Chinese food." Lao Bai greeted enthusiastically, "Want a bowl of rice?"
"Um, no thanks, I guess I don't have a stomach for rice."
Sasha politely took a small bite of the fish and excused himself.
Looking at the angry Dong Qiangqiang, Lao Bai chuckled: "What did she say to make you so angry?"
