"By the way, when I first got home today, a man came over with a basket and said he wanted to thank you." Shen Qingmiao pointed to the basket and said to Shen Jianmin, "I guess they are the family of the lady you saved."
"That's probably Auntie's son." Shen Jianmin heard Auntie say that she had a son who worked outside.
He came to their house to express his gratitude, which probably means he has returned and came to express his gratitude after hearing what the old lady said.
"You mean, he'll come later?"
Shen Qingmiao nodded and said, "Yes, that's what he said."
Before the brother and sister finished their dinner, there was another knock on the door. The brother and sister looked at each other, and each saw their own guess from the other's eyes.
I'm afraid it's him.
Shen Qingmiao and Shen Jianmin both stood up and walked towards the gate. As soon as they opened the door, Shen Qingmiao saw the man who had come to their house today standing at the door, carrying something with him.
When the man saw Shen Jianmin, his eyes flashed with gratitude.
"You must be Shen Jianmin, right? I'm Zhang Donghai. Thank you so much for saving my mom yesterday." Zhang Donghai excitedly stepped forward and took Shen Jianmin's hand, his gratitude pouring out of his words. "My mom is an elderly woman. If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid something terrible would have happened. I'm so grateful to you, thank you so much."
Shen Jianmin, who was being thanked so much, was in a daze the whole time. Listening to Zhang Donghai's words of thanks, he doubted whether he was really that powerful.
Instead, Shen Qingmiao, who was watching from the sidelines, said, "Let's go in first and talk about it later."
If he stayed any longer, he would probably be surrounded by onlookers. Shen Qingmiao's sixth sense had already sensed the neighbors nearby who were ready to make a move, and they were already wanting to come out and see what was going on.
Zhang Donghai also realized his mistake at this time, "I was too excited, let's go in first."
After the three of them went in, they left their neighbors feeling disappointed. Having learned nothing, the neighbors went in with a look of disappointment on their faces.
After entering, she couldn't help but glance in the direction of Shen Qingmiao's house, as if she hated herself for not having the ability to see far away, which would not be able to hide her gossipy heart.
"You two can chat for a while, I'll clean up."
Shen Qingmiao quickly cleared the dishes on the table and cleared the table for Shen Jianmin and Zhang Donghai to sit down.
Zhang Donghai quickly said, "It's okay, it's okay. You don't have to worry. I came at a bit of a bad time. I hope I didn't delay your meal."
He came to express his gratitude, not to deny others dinner.
"We are all full and are just about to clean up. You just stand there for a moment, it will be ready soon." Shen Qingmiao cleaned the table quickly.
Shen Jianmin wanted to help but was stopped by Shen Qingmiao, who asked him to go and entertain the guests.
"Please sit down, don't stand." After Shen Jianmin sat down, he asked Zhang Donghai to sit next to him.
After Zhang Donghai sat down, he placed the gift he had brought on the table and pushed it towards Shen Jianmin. "This is a small token of my appreciation. Please don't refuse it. Compared to the help you've given my mother, this gift is insignificant."
Just as Zhang Donghai had said, upon returning home, he heard that not only his father but also his mother had been in an accident. He felt as if the sky had fallen on his heart, and he was extremely worried. Later, when he rushed to the hospital and heard what his mother had said, his gratitude towards Shen Jianmin emanated from his heart.
The gifts he brought today are not even one percent of the gratitude he feels in his heart.
Shen Jianmin pushed it back again. He didn't help people for gifts. "No, no, no, no matter who saw it, I wouldn't stand idly by. I didn't do anything, so don't be so polite. I have received your kindness, so you can take the gift back."
"I'm older than you, so I'll call you Jianmin. You don't know how panicked I was when I came back from outside and heard that my parents were in trouble." Zhang Donghai's eyes were red when he talked about it now. "I was so grateful to you from the bottom of my heart when I learned that it was you who saved my mom. If you don't accept the gift today, I, your brother Zhang, will feel uncomfortable."
His tough attitude made it seem as if Zhang Donghai would stay here and not leave if Shen Jianmin didn't accept the gift.
Being stared at by Zhang Donghai's bright eyes, Shen Jianmin felt a lot of pressure. He felt inexplicably oppressed when facing Zhang Donghai.
It’s like when I was a kid and skipped class and met my homeroom teacher.
"Okay, I'll accept the gifts." In the end, Shen Jianmin had no choice but to accept the gifts.
Seeing Shen Jianmin accept the gift, Zhang Donghai, who had originally had a serious expression, immediately smiled and became friendly.
"That's right. As a grown man, stop being fussy and do things decisively." Zhang Donghai smiled and patted Shen Jianmin's shoulder.
Shen Jianmin could only smile along.
When Shen Qingmiao came out of the kitchen, he saw that Shen Jianmin and Zhang Donghai had become brothers.
What happened in this short period of time?
"Jianmin, you're my younger brother from now on. If you need any help, just come to me, your brother Zhang. In this county, your brother Zhang is quite capable." Zhang Donghai patted his chest and said, "Also, if you want to buy anything, just tell me, your brother Zhang. I can definitely buy it for you."
Now, not only Shen Qingmiao was curious about what Zhang Donghai did, but even Shen Jianmin was curious.
Shen Jianmin asked cautiously, "Brother Zhang, what do you do?"
Zhang Donghai lowered his voice and leaned close to Shen Jianmin's ear, saying, "Brother Zhang, I'm just tinkering with things."
Shen Jianmin was surprised and said, "You mean..."
Without saying anything, the three of them said everything.
"Then Brother Zhang, aren't you afraid of danger?"
Zhang Donghai smiled and said disdainfully, "Afraid? Of course I'm not. But compared to being afraid, staying alive is the most important thing."
"To be honest, if I hadn't entered this industry and risked my life to carve out this path, I'm afraid none of us would be alive now."
As he spoke, Zhang Donghai's face was full of bitter smile.
Shen Qingmiao and Shen Jianmin knew that there might be bitterness and hardships involved that they were unaware of.
In response, Shen Qingmiao and Shen Jianmin fell silent.
They couldn't give Zhang Donghai any comfort, and perhaps Zhang Donghai didn't need their comfort.
"But I believe that things will get better and better in the future. This thing will be put on the road sooner or later, judging from my experience of traveling all over the country over the years." Speaking of the future, Zhang Donghai was full of hope.
He was so confident in what he said to himself.
