Chapter 412 Mr. Dong called...
The next day, He Yong returned to Guangdong.
Two days later, my brother-in-law accompanied my parents to Dongguan. Before leaving, I explained my intention to my brother-in-law in detail and asked him to stay with He Yong for only two days, and then take my parents to Guangzhou for two days and come back after that.
My brother-in-law said, "You really mean well."
I said, "Only in this way, when we move to Huaxi Lake, will she keep a low profile."
After they left, I followed the same routine every day, going to Taiyi Temple during the day and learning acupuncture from Mr. Shu at night.
Four days later, my parents returned, and my sister and brother-in-law joined me for dinner. My father didn't say much, but my mother was very enthusiastic and talked about her feelings.
They say Guangzhou is much better than Shangzhou. They say a town in Dongguan is even more beautiful than my hometown, Heshui County. The town has a square and dozens of stories high. The hotels in the town are just as good as those in Shangzhou.
She kept saying, "It's just a town, why is it so good?"
It made everyone laugh.
The next day, I had a private conversation with my dad. My dad said:
"When we went there, Gao Xu also told me the purpose of visiting Guangdong. I understand what you mean. Mr. He put in a lot of effort and took us to visit several friends' homes. They all run factories. Their homes are well-decorated, but their clothes are ordinary and their cars are not necessarily high-end.
Talking about family matters, every family has its own challenges. She was inspired. After all, she had suffered in the past, and she would be content with the life she has now. Oh, and you're busy too, renovating the house, so you need to hurry up and hire a nanny.
I said, "Chinese New Year is coming soon, let's do the renovations after the New Year. We can hire a nanny after the New Year."
Near the end of the year, an unprecedented epidemic broke out in a city on the Yangtze River. Shangzhou was relatively safe, but although nothing happened, people were still a little panicked.
In a blink of an eye, it is the end of the lunar year.
On the morning of New Year's Eve, Tang Man called me. She first wished me a happy holiday, and then told me that she had been entrusted by Cruz to accompany Phil to transfer money at the bank.
I said, "Thank you so much, and I wish you a happy holiday in a foreign country."
At this time, Tang Man said: "Mr. Cruz wants to talk to you."
After a while, his voice came from the other side: "Doctor Wan, happy holidays."
I said, "You speak Chinese well, thank you." (You speak Chinese well, thank you.)
Xiaolin winked at me after hearing this and walked towards the bedroom. I followed her in. She asked in surprise, "Are we there yet?"
I nodded.
She pursed her lips and kissed me.
This New Year's Eve dinner was a feast. I opened a bottle of Moutai, and everyone had a glass. My dad, Yifan, and I drank the rest.
That night, I called five people, including my master, Mr. Shu, General Manager Chen, President Zheng, and Liu Qiming, to wish them a happy new year.
Especially President Zheng, we talked for a long time.
He said, "Teacher Wan, there's no Chinese New Year atmosphere here. Only the communities with a large Chinese population are a little more particular, but everywhere else it's just like any other day."
I said, "That's right. The New Year atmosphere here is getting weaker every year."
"Mr. Wan, there's one more thing. Cruz later told me that your medical skills are quite good. If you had a certificate, even an acupuncture certificate, he could invite you to come and treat patients. He could even recommend to the dean that you be appointed an honorary professor."
I smiled and said, "President, don't worry. I am concentrating on learning acupuncture. I would also like to tell you about the certification exam here. There are two exams, one for practical application in July and one for theory in September."
“Why do we have to take the operation test first?”
"That makes sense. If you can't even pinpoint your academic degree, it's useless no matter how well you learn the theory."
"Oh, this method is indeed more reasonable."
"I will definitely have no problem passing the exam, and I can guarantee my skills are flawless, because during my time in the Philippines, I read a lot of medical books. Plus, Mr. Qiming taught me acupressure techniques. Combining the two, I feel confident."
"That's great. Once you get the certificate, tell me and I'll definitely facilitate your second and third trips to the Philippines. If you can cure some difficult diseases here, you'll bring honor to the Chinese people. It'll make me, the president, stand taller."
The two chatted about something else before hanging up.
My mother asked, "Who have you been talking to for so long?"
I said, "A Chinese friend in the Philippines."
"He doesn't like watching the Spring Festival Gala either?"
Everyone laughed happily.
I said, "Just because you like to watch it."
Yifan said: "They don't even celebrate the New Year."
My mother said, "What's the point? All year long, we just look forward to the lively New Year."
Yifan fell silent. Everyone sat together, my dad resting his eyes, while the others played with their phones, sending and replying text messages. In this family, my mom was the only one who enjoyed watching the show.
After the New Year's bell rang, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep.
At this moment, my cell phone rang. The first call was from He Yong, and we exchanged happy new year greetings. The second call was from Shengsheng, and he also wished a happy new year.
The third call was actually from Mr. Dong.
This phone number, only in my address book, hasn't rung since we met. I've called it before, but it's always off. Even when I tried to add him on WeChat using his phone number, the message "This WeChat ID doesn't exist" popped up.
When I saw the words "Mr. Dong," my heart started pounding. I turned off the TV, and the first thing I heard was, "Where are you?"
"In Zhongnan Mountain."
"I only have one request. Can you add me on WeChat? My phone is always off and I can't get through to you. If you add me on WeChat, even if you don't reply, at least you can see it."
“I don’t have WeChat.”
"You have 5 million US dollars here, and I want to give it to you. I used your prescription to cure a wealthy foreigner's illness." So I briefly explained the origin of the money.
"Let's not talk about money now. I'll tell you how to handle it later. I just want to tell you two things. Just remember them.
First of all, the big y will not last more than three years. This is the law of history. You must not panic. Tell the people around you not to panic.
Second sentence, there is a prescription for treating febrile diseases on the second to last page of my notes. Tell your family and friends, and those who believe can take it."
"I remember, Mr. Dong... Mr. Dong... Mr. Dong..."
There was no sound from the other side.
I called back and heard a cold voice: The number you dialed is turned off.
Why is it that Mr. Dong is the only one who can call me, and I can't call him? This is a huge sum of money, so why is he not tempted at all?
But the key thing is that he didn't refuse the money. He will contact me again.
The mysterious Mr. Dong.
