Dong Qiangqiang's Story of Leaving Germany

Dong Qiangqiang was already very satisfied with not wasting time in such an inconspicuous place. He did not dare to delay and drove Tong Lele away. Go straight to Tiantongyuan.

When he passed by Haidian Hospital, he stepped on the brake and wanted to visit Dong's mother, but as expected, he was stopped by the nurse again.

Although he didn't see Dong's mother, he got good news from the nurse: Dong's mother's temperature has dropped and remained stable since she moved in. If there are no accidents, she can be discharged from the hospital as soon as tomorrow morning. The hospital will contact her then. Dong Qiangqiang, he can make preparations for the patient's discharge now. After all, hospital beds are tight, and it is best to complete the discharge procedures within an hour, so as not to stay in the hospital again after recovery.

Dong Qiangqiang immediately conveyed the good news to Dong's mother and Dong's father, but Dong's mother felt good about it and believed that the hospital should discharge her in the afternoon and not keep her under observation for more than half a day. She would have to pay more for hospitalization and dinner. Dong Qiangqiang couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this, so he could only quote Dong's father's words and order her to listen to the doctor, not to make any decisions on her own, to have a good rest, and to try not to come back after she was discharged.

Hearing that Dong's mother was recovering well, Dong's father was relieved. He was happy and immediately told Dong Qiangqiang to issue a ticket quickly. Since Dong's mother was not suffering from SARS and she had been discharged from the hospital, she should have no problem taking care of herself. Even the WHO said that SARS is a difficult problem. It is estimated that there will be no good solution in the world in a short time. SARS will only get worse. Under this situation, the possibility of Germany restricting foreign students from entering Germany has suddenly increased. Dong Qiangqiang should not be trusted. For a big adventure, it is safest to return to Germany as soon as possible.

Dong Qiangqiang originally wanted to use the German medical community to send a medical team to support Dong's father, but then he thought again that Dong's father was no better than Dong's mother. He was not a person who could be persuaded to change his mind with just a few words. He immediately agreed, thinking that Dong Qiang would be the best person anyway. My father won't be able to come out for a while, so if I agree first, I don't have to listen to the chatter anymore.

When the two of them arrived at Tiantongyuan, they saw that the hall was crowded. It felt like there were no less people than the hospital Dong Qiangqiang had just visited.

Not only Tong Lele was surprised by this, but Dong Qiangqiang was also surprised.

"Are there so many people here every day?" Tong Lele looked around while wearing a mask, "Most of them don't wear masks. What's going on? Are ignorant people fearless?"

"There weren't so many people last time. It felt like when I was a kid, we were grabbing cabbage for the winter with adults." Dong Qiangqiang couldn't help but sigh after looking around with his eyes. "Last time, only one-third of today's people came. Bar."

The agent had been waiting in the lobby for a long time and found the two of them soon after receiving Dong Qiangqiang's call.

"Brother," the agent waved vigorously at Dong Qiangqiang in the crowd.

"Why are there so many people today?" Dong Qiangqiang asked the agent who struggled to "swim" through the crowd, "Are you having any promotions?" Dong Qiangqiang saw a similar scene in a Volkswagen 4S store in Shanghai, and he remembered it clearly. , the reason why there were so many people that time was because 4S was offering discounts under the guise of celebrating the store’s 15th anniversary. He took it for granted that the same was true today.

"On the one hand, our activities have always been outstanding among our peers. Our houses have many types, are of good quality, and are cheap. Everyone is afraid that the price will rise too fast and they will not be able to keep up." The agent boasted while whispering, "On the other hand, I heard that there are only a few hundred cases of SARS in the world, but it is actually not as dangerous as I said before. I was too stressed out before, so we can’t have hundreds of cases in the world in our place? Maybe when you think about it, everyone will dare to It's out." Although he said so, the agent knew that the large number of people today was just an extremely rare exception in the recent quarter. Since the beginning of the new year, the real estate market has been in depression, and it is not an exaggeration to say that people are leaving and the buildings are empty.

The agent was observing Dong Qiangqiang's reaction as he spoke, and saw Dong Qiangqiang reach out and swipe to the right: "But the WHO not only said that there are hundreds of cases around the world, but also said that SARS is spreading at a speed beyond people's imagination. If there is really one here today , then aren’t all those who don’t wear masks going to be punished?”

"Brother, we can't control whether someone wears it or not." The agent smiled apologetically, "What can I say if someone isn't afraid of themselves? We can only take care of ourselves."

Dong Qiangqiang sighed, knowing that he was worried and blind again.

Seeing that Dong Qiangqiang was silent, the agent took the initiative to bring the topic back to the house: "Have you decided which house you want?"

"Let's take a look at the few apartments we saw last time, including affordable housing and commercial housing." Dong Qiangqiang was just looking at things last time, but this time he was very purposeful, because now he knew how much ammunition he had in his hand, so he came up Then you can feel free to go straight to the topic.

He took Tong Lele to walk through the sets from the last visit one by one, and exchanged views with Tong Lele while walking.

The two of them discussed it from multiple angles, including the size of the house, the layout of the rooms, the quality of lighting, the degree of sunset exposure, and the noisy index of the street. When new ideas burst out during the discussion, the two of them would run to the client's room again. discuss.

The agent was actively involved in the beginning and gave suggestions. Later, although it became clear that Dong Qiangqiang really wanted to buy, he was too tired to speak. By the end of the discussion, Tong Lele's voice was a little hoarse, and only Dong Qiangqiang was still energetic. When the sun went down, Dong Qiangqiang felt a little tired even though he was very hard-working. However, the rush for most of the day was finally in vain, and the prototype of the house purchase plan came out.

Dong Qiangqiang felt a headache when he thought that he had to wait for the public notice period to end before he could buy a house and get the keys. He gave up the idea of ​​buying an affordable house of more than 80 square meters, and finally chose an affordable house of 80 square meters on one floor. The area was suitable, and there was no need to publicize it. There are two bathrooms in the living room and a small utility room. The balcony is connected to the living room and master bedroom. The only drawbacks are that it faces the street and may be noisy, the first floor is prone to moisture, and the second bathroom is cramped. The best time of day for lighting is only in the morning, and the orientation of the room is not ideal. Only the main room is. The bedroom faces the sun, but that's not what Dong Qiangqiang cares about most. He looked at a lot of 80-square-meter houses, and most of them had single bathrooms. He wanted a house with two bathrooms, so he didn't mind if the two bathrooms were small. When there are many people living together, More often than not, having two toilets is more important than having two showers, so I made the decision in my mind without hesitation.

Another reason for choosing the affordable housing is that next to the affordable housing is a 65-square-meter commercial house. Although the shortcomings are similar to the affordable housing, the area is smaller than the affordable housing, but the lighting is much better. The balcony faces southeast and has plenty of sunlight. The sun shines from morning to night. You can also sunbathe on the balcony in winter. Dong Qiangqiang's original plan was to live next to his parents, so that they would be on the same floor. His parents would have his own house, and it would be convenient to take care of him. Just like the affordable housing, he quickly made up his mind.

Only at this moment did he feel at ease, and the house that belonged to him seemed within reach.
