Dong Qiangqiang opened the door and shouted to the kitchen: "Ask her to come up directly." He thought it was Wang Shunan who came.
He Yuanjin also walked out of the kitchen: "I opened the door for him but he asked you to go down."
"Let me go down?" Dong Qiangqiang realized that he had guessed wrong, "Who is it?"
"He didn't say his name. You'll know if you go down and take a look." After He Yuanjin finished speaking, he floated back to the kitchen.
Lei Lanting, who was listening to the conversation between the two, couldn't help teasing Dong Qiangqiang with a smirk on his face: "Hey, is there a handsome German guy who has a crush on you who plans to take the opportunity to confess his feelings? How about I go downstairs..."
"Get out!" Dong Qiangqiang feigned anger and pushed Lei Lanting and went downstairs alone.
The sun is shining brightly outside the building door, and snow blown from the roofs and treetops is floating overhead. The flying snow particles reflect the golden light of the sun. They flicker in the cold wind, like a sparkling river of air. .
There was no one outside the door.
Dong Qiangqiang looked around and heard someone whispering from across the building: "Here it is!"
He looked around and saw a man-cat wearing a black baseball cap, black down jacket and black jeans waving to him from the corner of the building opposite.
"Jin Yuan?" Dong Qiangqiang was stunned for two seconds before he reacted and trotted across the street.
After not seeing each other for several months, Jin Yuan's face and figure had gained weight, and he was inflated like a balloon. There were many band-aids on the bridge of his nose, cheeks and back of his hands. His previous energy was gone. Coupled with the dirty down jacket and jeans with holes and patches, he looked particularly bloated and haggard, as if he had fallen asleep. middle-aged people.
"Why don't you go up?" Dong Qiangqiang stared at the band-aid and asked, "Today is New Year's Eve, I made dumplings and we went upstairs to eat some."
"Have you made dumplings? Not bad..." Jin Yuan looked at both ends of the street warily, looked at Dong Qiangqiang with a smile but not a smile, and whispered, "You are living a good life now..."
Dong Qiangqiang didn't know his intention of looking for him today, so he responded: "Let's make do with it."
"Some people want the whole world to know about it when they get rich, but you..." Jin Yuan's smile could not tell whether it was ridicule or envy, "You are the kind of person who has a lot of money and is not famous. You are the only one in China. In this way, it hasn’t changed at all since I came here.”
"Speak directly if you have something to say." Dong Qiangqiang doesn't like to talk in circles.
"I'm doing well now, I'm driving a good car, and I'm wearing good clothes." Jin Yuan pursed his lips in the direction where Dong Qiangqiang's pickup truck was parked, "Do you have to help your poor brother?"
Unexpectedly, Jin Yuan was so well-informed that he even knew about buying a car. Dong Qiangqiang nodded: "It's no problem to introduce the job. If there is a suitable one in the future..."
"We don't have to wait until later." Before Dong Qiangqiang could finish speaking, Jin Yuan interrupted him rudely and continued, "Let's be honest, I just want to borrow some money from you to spend. It's the Chinese New Year, everyone has to do something. New Year's gift. You've already eaten white flour dumplings, but I haven't eaten yet, buddy." Jin Yuan made a gesture of counting money with his fingers, "Besides, I gave you a lot of interest when I paid back the money last time. You should have a lot of money from the interest by now. You can help me a little bit, but it’s not too much..."
Dong Qiangqiang has lent money to others and borrowed money from others in the six months since he came to Germany. He had already heard that Jin Yuan's loan probably meant that he had no intention of paying it back.
"How much do you want to borrow?" he asked.
"Han Xin orders troops," Jin Yuan spread his palms and stretched them in front of Dong Qiangqiang, "The more, the merrier."
Dong Qiangqiang took out all the banknotes and coins in his pocket, without counting them, and stuffed them directly into Jin Yuan's hand. "that's it."
"It's refreshing." Jin Yuan was not polite and took it, "Well, 352 euros, not bad, enough for dinner."
"Are you working or studying now?" Dong Qiangqiang asked, "Where do you live?"
"Why are you asking so much?" Jin Yuan was very vigilant, "Want to call the police?"
"The police have been looking for you before. I hope you can communicate with them about something." Dong Qiangqiang persuaded him kindly.
"I am a good citizen and have nothing to communicate with them. Besides, I have no obligation to help them, just like no one will help me." Jin Yuan carefully stuffed the money into his trouser pocket, looked at Dong Qiangqiang for a while, and suddenly took off his clothes Throwing his down jacket on the snow, he breathed in the heat and ordered, "Give me your coat."
Dong Qiangqiang's coat is an Italian brand specially selected for him by Du Lan in Munich. It is made of exquisite materials and fine tailoring.
"This dress is old. If you come to me in a few days, I will give you a new one." Dong Qiangqiang refused directly.
"You don't have to spend so much money," Jin Yuan said, stepping forward to pull Dong Qiangqiang's clothes. Just as Dong Qiangqiang was about to push his hand away, a door next to the two people suddenly opened, and several foreigners, men and women, walked out, saying something. He passed by the two of them with a smile, looking at them curiously as he walked.
Dong Qiangqiang didn't want to mess with Jin Yuan in front of foreigners, and he was even more afraid of tearing his clothes. After a moment's hesitation, the coat was in Jin Yuan's hands.
"High-end goods." Jin Yuan, who put on Dong Qiangqiang's coat, flicked the fabric of the coat with his fingers with satisfaction, turned around and walked towards the station, waving goodbye at the same time, "Thank you, Boss Dong, for your New Year's gift. I wish you great prosperity!"
He walked faster and faster, fearing that Dong Qiangqiang would pounce on him and snatch his coat away. After a few minutes, his back disappeared from the corner of the street.
Dong Qiangqiang never expected that Jin Yuan would become a rogue now. He looked at the corner of the street in surprise and returned home with mixed emotions.
In the kitchen, He Yuanjin was holding his notebook alone and browsing the official CCTV website with relish, waiting for the upcoming Spring Festival Gala live broadcast. Tong Lele stood by the pot, while Lei Lanting leaned next to her and whispered something.
Seeing Dong Qiangqiang coming back alone, Tong Lele asked while adding water to the pot: "Where is Wang Shunan?"
"It's not her, it's another friend." Dong Qiangqiang ordered the dumplings on the table, "How many are still uncooked?"
"This pot of dumplings will be cooked as soon as they come out." Tong Lele put down the empty bowl.
"Then I'll call Lao Bai, Lei Lanting will pour the drinks and wine, and Xiao He will set out the dishes."
When Dong Qiangqiang went downstairs, he happened to encounter Wang Shunan knocking on the door, and he took them both upstairs at the same time.
Although there were not many people, the kitchen was full. Everyone had a smile on their face, except Lao Bai, who had a solemn expression.
Except for He Yuanjin and Wang Shunan, everyone else knew what was going on, but He Yuanjin was focused on the Spring Festival evening and had no time to care about Lao Bai's mood. Lao Bai drank silently without saying a word.
Under the cheerful BGM of the opening chorus of the Spring Festival Gala, which started on time, the atmosphere in the room was not dull. Dong Qiangqiang tapped the cup with his chopsticks.
"Today is New Year's Eve, a traditional Chinese festival, which is New Year's Eve. It is the first Spring Festival that I have celebrated after arriving in Germany. I am very happy to meet you all in Germany. I sincerely thank each of you for helping me in the past year. . I suggest that each of us say a blessing. I’ll go first. The Year of the Horse is coming. I wish you all the best in the new year! Immediate success! Good health!”
"I'll take the second one. I'll take the second one." Lei Lanting raised his wine glass enthusiastically when Dong Qiangqiang, who had quick eyes and quick hands, took the wine glass and handed him a glass of juice. He continued to shout helplessly. , "I hope that in the Year of the Horse, everyone can enjoy more food! Drink more wine! Meet more beauties and handsome men! Make more money!"
"Lei Lanting, do you think my senior sister is a beauty?" He Yuanjin asked while glancing at Tong Lele with a smile.
Tong Lele quickly picked up a dumpling and stuffed it into her mouth, scolding: "If you can't speak, just concentrate on eating."
"Of course I will say, cough cough..." He Yuanjin quickly swallowed the dumplings, cleared his throat, and imitated the Spring Festival Gala host's broadcast tone and recited, "I wish single friends to find the one they love as soon as possible! I wish those who are married My friend will have a baby soon! I wish everyone a happy family! Happiness!" After saying that, she tilted her head and stared at Lao Bai with a smile, "Lao Bai, you are the first one here to have a next generation, you have to give it to us. A good start."
Hearing the last two sentences, Dong Qiangqiang and Tong Lele trembled in their hearts at the same time. The room instantly became quiet, and several pairs of eyes stared at Lao Bai.
Lao Bai drank wine expressionlessly, and the chopsticks he just picked up were hanging motionless in the air. After more than ten seconds, he slammed the chopsticks on the table, and then stood up slowly without saying a word. and left the kitchen.
He Yuanjin looked confused, pointed at the kitchen door and looked around at everyone: "Hey, let me tell you, Lao Bai... he must have something wrong..."
Dong Qiangqiang couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Murphy's Law does not deceive me.
