Chapter 591 My Roots in China
Day 70 was a memorable day when Dana was able to run again, marking the complete recovery of her right leg.
That morning, I received a call from Mr. Deng, who told me that Master was in the hospital.
I asked, "Is it a common illness, or..."
I didn't dare to ask any further and was anxiously waiting for Mr. Deng's reply.
Mr. Deng said, "It shouldn't be life-threatening. I went to see him yesterday, and he was a little confused. He kept asking Shanhong why she didn't come to see me. Why didn't she come?
I told him that Shanhong had gone abroad. He asked, “Why would Shanhong go abroad? Didn’t he say he would come to see me often?”
I felt a little guilty listening to this. He said in a choked voice, "I'll be back as soon as possible, as soon as possible."
Chunlai asked me what was going on, and I briefly explained my relationship with my master.
Then he said to him, "Chunlai, you must be mentally prepared. If I want to go back, you must have a plan to stay."
A trace of panic flashed across his face, and then he nodded seriously.
I will ask Sasha to inform Chalun's family immediately and meet at nine o'clock in the morning.
After breakfast, the Chalun family waited for me in the small living room. After I sat down, I said something, and Shasha translated:
"Dear Mr. and Mrs. Chalun, and the beautiful Miss Dana. From a doctor's perspective, I believe Dana has recovered and is able to move freely. Our treatment has come to an end.
It can be said that treatment is unnecessary. Excessive treatment is also harmful. Miss Dana only needs to exercise herself.
The exercise period is 49 days. Dana just runs, does some squats, and reads every day."
After Sasha translated, the Chalun family fell into silence.
I can't understand why they are silent.
After a while, they communicated with each other.
This period of time was quite long. After about four or five minutes, Charun spoke a long string of words to Sasha.
Sasha translated for me. She said, "Mr. Chalun is asking a crucial question on behalf of the whole family: why can't I stay and let her recover on her own?"
I said, "Dana is already a normal person. When I say self-recovery, I mean she can't travel far for the time being."
Chalun talked with Sasha for a while.
Sasa said: "Mr. Chalun meant to increase the price by $1 million, hoping that I would stay."
I think he's a bit stubborn. 49 God, I'm staying here just to play with your daughter? Besides, we don't speak the same language, and even if Dana could speak a few simple Chinese sentences, it would be very boring.
I repeatedly explained to them that Dana didn't need my company at all and that she was very, very normal.
Chalun said, "Mr. Wan, how about you stay for another month?"
I understood Charun's feelings. He and his wife were still worried, fearing Dana's condition would relapse. I offered a compromise: Chunlai could stay. If anything went wrong, I would fly directly from China to Thailand.
Charun said, "Mr. Wan, I hope to fly to Thailand after your 49 days."
I nodded.
Dana looked at me confused.
She didn't understand why Chunlai could stay but I couldn't. Her lips moved but no words came out.
At this time, Mrs. Chalun and Dana stood up, put their hands together, and indicated that they needed to leave temporarily.
After they left, Chalun and I continued to discuss the details, including what work Chunlai would do, payment, and when he would leave.
I made three comments:
First, Chunlai taught Shasha acupressure, guided Dana in dietary supplements, and served as a liaison, keeping me updated on Dana's situation. (That's not necessary, actually. If you're worried, I'll assign him some work.)
The second option is to pay only half now and pay the full amount when Chunlai's work is finished. I will come over then.
Third, I'd like to ask Sasha to book a plane ticket for me. Once the ticket is booked, I can send a car to Bangkok. It would be best if Sasha could take me there.
After the matter was confirmed, Chalun clasped his hands together and said:
"Dear Mr. Wan, I cannot express my gratitude to you in words. I pray that the Buddha will bless you. I also pray that you will appear here in 49 days."
I also put my hands together and said, "Mr. Chalun, I will definitely keep my promise."
After returning to the room, Sasha came running in excitedly and said, "It's booked, it's booked. It's for tomorrow morning at around 12:00. Is that okay?"
I said, "Okay, then you can communicate with Mr. Chalun."
Then, I began to inform Luo Cheng of the situation. He was a little surprised and said, "Boss Zhang and I are out of town. We will definitely come back and have dinner together tonight."
I said, "Don't bother. First, I'll come again, and second, Mr. Chalun has a dinner party."
Then I called Chanchai again and he said he knew about it and that Mr. Charun had invited him to have dinner with me.
After lunch, I took a nap. When I woke up, I had a heart-to-heart talk with Chunlai, teaching him, little by little, how to handle interpersonal relationships and how to pay attention to the details of life.
Chunlai was a little excited and kept wiping away tears.
I said, "Be strong. You're not happy playing with a beautiful woman?"
He smiled bitterly.
The doorbell rang, and Chunlai opened the door. I thought my eyes were blurry. I rubbed my eyes, and it was indeed Dana. Sasha appeared at the door with Dana.
I hurriedly asked her to come into the room and sit down. Chunlai made tea.
Sasha said mysteriously, "Teacher Wan, guess, can Dana speak Chinese now?"
"Just a few short phrases. She can say them. She did say them."
Shasha said, "She wrote a few words. Listen to them."
Dana opened a card and read: "Dear Brother Wan Shanhong, I am very grateful to you and hope to see you soon."
She handed me the card with both hands. I bent down to take it, then put my hands together and said:
"Beautiful Miss Dana, I will definitely keep my promise."
Sasha said, "She can't go to the airport to see you off tomorrow. She can't go to crowded places. So, she asked me to teach her these few words."
I thank Dana again.
Dana said to me through Sasha: "I'm sorry I can't take you there tomorrow. I want to hug you."
She held me for a long time without letting go. A tear flowed from the corner of her eye, dampening my mood.
I patted her back gently: "I will come to see you."
She let go of me and stood there with her hands clasped together, letting the tears flow.
I said to Shasha, "Take her back. Don't let her get too excited. I'll teach her two lines of Chinese poetry: 'A bosom friend afar brings a distant land near.'"
Yes, a friend in need is a friend indeed.
I love China and its magical characters. One character can reveal countless information, and two lines of poetry are worth thousands of words.
No place is my home. My home is in the oracle bone inscriptions, in Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching", in Confucius' "The Analects", in Li Bai's poems, and in Su Shi's lyrics.
In the artistic conception of "Fireworks in March in Yangzhou, there is always endless wine to drink and endless willows to pluck"...
Dana stood in the doorway and once again did the Namaste.
I clasped my hands together, saluted, and watched her leave.
