Dong Qiangqiang's Story of Leaving Germany

"Qiang Qiang, listen to me, no matter whether your mother has SARS or not, you don't want to run away from home, Haidian Hospital and me during this period. It's meaningless. Everything is fine here, although my arms and legs are old I'm not very good at it, but I have no problem taking care of myself now, and the recent test results are also good. Your mother also knows this. There is only one thing you have to do now: go all out to take care of your mother and yourself. What's the matter? Call me at any time if the situation happens, and by the way, when you go to the hospital, remember to bring your mother’s mobile phone and charger to her so that she can contact us at any time.”

"Okay, I remember."

"Pay attention to protecting yourself, go ahead, and call us anytime if you have anything."

After putting down the phone, Dong Qiangqiang remembered that he should have taken advantage of the topic of Dong's mother to tell Dong's father about buying a car. Even if Dong's father was angry, he certainly couldn't say anything, but then he thought again, he would buy a car by himself. It's a good thing done openly, why do you have to be sneaky and hideous? It seems that he is shady, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't say anything this time. When he gets the new license plate, he will tell Father Dong openly and openly. At the worst, he will just listen to a few criticisms from Father Dong.

He put Dong's mother's mobile phone and charging cable into his bag and continued to report.

The time soon reached noon, and there was still no call from the hospital. Tong Lele's call came and asked him where he was, when they would meet, and where they would meet before going to Tiantongyuan.

Dong Qiangqiang and Tong Lele told him about Dong's mother's sudden illness. Tong Lele was shocked and understood that Dong's mother's test results had not yet come out. Dong Qiangqiang could not have the mind to worry about the house. He could only comfort him with kind words not to worry, and he could always help if he needed help. say. Dong Qiangqiang was not polite and said that if he and Dong's mother both got SARS, I'm afraid Tong Lele would also have to pay attention. If Tong Lele was fine, Dong's father would ask her if he needed anything. She would just reimburse him directly after she paid in advance. Tong Lele comforted Dong Qiangqiang. There's no need to worry about money, Dong's father and Tong's mother are both in Xiehe, and they just take care of her.

After entrusting Dong's father with the matter, Dong Qiangqiang's mentality became more stable. He felt that he no longer had any worries, and he was more attentive in reading the report.

After five o'clock in the evening, there was still no call from the hospital. Dong Qiangqiang was not in a hurry. He felt hungry after reading the report all day. I ran into the kitchen and made myself a bowl of Yangchun noodles, added rapeseed, bacon, and two poached eggs. I would definitely not be able to eat delicious food in the hospital, so I might as well gain more fat for myself now.

As soon as the steaming noodles were served on the table, Dong Qiangqiang heard his cell phone ringing before he could take off his apron. He thought it was a call from the hospital and rushed to the phone, only to find that the message he received was a bank text message. It turned out that he All the money transferred to the domestic account has been received.

He didn't care about eating, so he immediately logged into online banking and settled the foreign exchange according to the method taught by the bank. In less than five minutes, all the money arrived in his account. He called the agent again and asked if there was anything going on with the old house, but the agent's feedback disappointed him: the new owner ignored the agent's inquiry. The agent tactfully said that this might not be that easy, and asked Dong Qiangqiang to give him a few more days, or that Dong Qiangqiang would be willing to consider other cost-effective houses in the hands of the agent.

After putting down the phone, Dong Qiangqiang thought for a moment and opened the German bank's online banking again. This time he transferred 20,000 euros to Dong's mother's account. He has made up his mind: if he really wants to buy a house in Tiantongyuan, then he should try to buy a bigger one. After all, if he has food in hand, he will not panic, and he will have more choices. As for the remaining money, it remains in the account. After all, the principal is too small to buy many public bullish options and stocks. After transferring it, he suddenly remembered that what was left in Dong’s mother’s online banking was Dong’s mother’s mobile phone. He quickly reopened the webpage and logged into the online banking to change Dong’s mother’s contact information to his own mobile phone number.

Soon after 7 p.m., the hospital finally called and told Dong's mother and him that the risk of SARS had been eliminated, but Dong's mother still needed to be hospitalized for treatment and observation, and asked Dong Qiangqiang to send the things the nurse told him yesterday as soon as possible.

Although he was not too nervous before, a big stone in Dong Qiangqiang's heart finally fell to the ground. He did not dare to delay and informed Dong's father of the good news as soon as possible. Dong's father was even happier than him. He kept saying hello and told Dong Qiangqiang to hurry up and deliver the things. He must wear a mask and pay attention to safety on the way.

Dong Qiangqiang checked the things he needed to bring again, and then rushed to the hospital quickly.

He found the ward of the Department of Respiratory Medicine as the nurse said, but the nurse told him that because Dong's mother was weak, it was not suitable to visit him in the past two days, and asked Dong Qiangqiang to wait for notification from the hospital before visiting. In addition, there was a nurse in the ward, and Dong's mother could take care of herself. At present, There is no need to find a caregiver for the time being. Dong Qiangqiang could only hand the things to the nurse and reluctantly left the hospital.

When he arrived at Xiehe, Dong's father had not rested yet and was eagerly waiting for his son to come. At this time, Dong's father had digested the fact that Dong's mother was ill, and he was much calmer than in the morning. Father and son met across the door. Dong Qiangqiang saw the familiar father Dong again with a straight face, although he did not meet like last time. He drove him away, but he could vaguely feel that Father Dong had something special to say.

He succinctly told the whole story of Dong's mother's illness. He also knew that Dong's father would not feel good after hearing this, so he comforted her with words: "Dad, Mom is also auspicious. A severe cold is better than SARS."

"Qiang Qiang, I heard in the news today that dozens of medical staff in Vietnam were infected with a certain respiratory disease. Several of them were seriously ill and even life-threatening. Experts from the WHO suspected that it was SARS and have rushed to the emergency department. It was treated in the past. Similar cases were found in Singapore, but the situation was better than in Vietnam. In addition, similar symptoms also appeared in Hong Kong, and experts from the WHO also went to provide support. Now many countries in the world have SARS, and Germany will not exception."

"Dad, you can rest assured that Germany has had this for a long time." Dong Qiangqiang guessed what Father Dong was going to say and hurriedly explained to him, "It's not just recently."

Father Dong waved his hand and signaled Dong Qiangqiang not to interrupt him: "Qiangqiang, your mother will definitely have to worry about you during this period of illness. I believe you will be fine, so the first request I want to make to you is, Please don't run towards me recently. I have a mobile phone and will contact you if anything happens. If I don't contact you, everything is fine. You just have to go all out to take care of your mother."

"I can do this, don't worry." Dong Qiangqiang nodded heavily. Father Dong's decision was expected by him.

"Okay, then for the second point, I hope that once your mother confirms that there is no danger to her life, you will immediately issue a ticket and return to Germany as soon as possible. Let me put it more plainly, I think you should be prepared to return to Germany within three to four days. "Father Dong's face became more serious.

"But this morning I said that I would wait until Mom is completely recovered before I leave, and you agreed. If Mom hasn't recovered in three to four days, I will leave. What if she relapses? Do we need to rush it so quickly?"

"Qiang Qiang, everyone is going through a difficult and painful test in understanding and responding to SARS. You and your mother are very lucky this time, but no one can guarantee that you will be so lucky next time. I think Your purpose of coming back has been achieved: you see that I am recovering well. Although your mother has a severe cold, it is not SARS after all. She will recover quickly, but you are the most dangerous. Think about it, if you get SARS now, you What should your mother and I do? What about your studies?"

Dong Qiangqiang was speechless, not only because Dong's father had a friendly attitude this time, spoke thoughtfully, and did not put on my airs and order or even drive him away like in the past, but also because he really couldn't answer his questions.

Seeing that his son was silent, Father Dong's tone became even gentler: "Son, mom and dad already know your thoughts, and have seen that your current growth and performance have exceeded our expectations. We are all happy from the bottom of our hearts, and hope that you will be the best in the future. It’s getting better, but now it’s time to go back.”

Seeing Dong's father's swollen face and the kind eyes in his eyes, Dong Qiangqiang felt very uncomfortable. He couldn't bear to say anything to reject his father.

"Besides, I want you to send me more effervescent tablets with different flavors." Father Dong half-joked, realizing that he had successfully persuaded his son. "I don't know who said that German products could cure SARS, but they were snapped up by the patients." I didn’t expect that thing to be so popular here, and my relatives also asked for it from me.”

Dong Qiangqiang didn't listen to Dong's father's teasing. He knew in his heart that his time in the country was running out, because this time, Dong's mother would also stand by Dong's father's side.

Dong Qiangqiang, who knew how worried his parents were about him, finally stopped talking to his mother-in-law: "Okay, Dad, I promise you, as soon as Mom is well, I will go back." (End of Chapter)
