Chapter 343: The Night of the Thirtieth Chinese New Year's Eve

Fang Han opened his phone and looked at the message.

There were many people who sent red envelopes, including nurses from Jiang Zhongyuan, classmates from college, patients who used to add WeChat, and even Fang Yuan, a girl, also sent a small red envelope to wish Fang Han a happy New Year.

Fang Han clicked on a few small red envelopes and received them, for some that could no longer be called red envelopes, to be precise, they could already be called transfers, Fang Han did not click on them.

Red envelopes, just a little bit of meaning, really want to accept them all, it is estimated that it can catch up with a small cuboid.

In the past few years, during the New Year's holidays, Fang Han will not be short of red envelopes, and many people will be ingenious, the whole whole hour, the earliest, the first and the like.

If one person is called a surprise, and everyone saves a piece, then it is not a surprise, and it is customary to have too many surprises.

Thinking of the cuboid, Fang Han was suddenly stunned, hey, what about the cuboid that Long Yaxin brought?

When the bell rang in the early hours of the morning, everyone consciously began to tidy up the house, pack up their things, and then the house was empty, and even the garbage was taken away.

At this time, Fang Han was the only one left in the room, and the coffee table was spotless, the floor was cleaned, and the garbage bags were replaced with new ones.

Lin Xintong dragged the floor all the way to the door, and the mop was still outside the door at this time.

Fang Han carefully recalled the previous details.

Fortunately, he has a strong memory, and he quickly remembered it, it seems that Lin Xintong threw the cuboid into the trash can casually at that time, and the garbage in the trash can was also taken down by everyone just now.

Hurriedly changed his clothes, Fang Han went out in cotton slippers and tapped out, and then entered the elevator and went downstairs.

Downstairs, there was a trash can near the entrance of the unit building, and Fang Han rushed to the side of the trash can and began to rummage......

......

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, there was no moonlight, the cold wind was whistling, and the street lights in the community were also a little dim.

A rickety figure dragged a snakeskin bag through the community.

As the figure approached, the figure gradually became clear, an old man who looked about sixty years old, and seemed to be in his seventies walked step by step, the snakeskin bag in his hand was already half full, and it seemed slightly heavy, and the old man walked step by step, slightly struggling.

The cold wind blew, and the old man didn't notice it at all, and the vertical and horizontal wrinkles on his face seemed to be able to resist the cold.

After rummaging through all the garbage cans in the community, the snakeskin bag added a lot of weight, but the old man's face was full of smiles.

Chinese New Year's Eve.

The garbage in the community seems to have become more valuable than usual, with a lot of wine bottles, drink bottles, gift boxes, ......

It usually takes the old man several days to pick up this garbage, but today, in just a short time, he has already picked up several bags.

Dragging the somewhat heavy bag, the old man's steps seemed slower, step by step.

Back at the door of the house, the old man knocked on the door gently, and an old lady in her sixties hurriedly opened the door, and while reaching out to help the old man drag the bag back, she said with concern: "Old man, come on, it's cold outside!"

"It's not cold. The old man and the old lady dragged the bags into the house together, and there were already a lot of bags piled up in the small living room, and the room looked a little messy, and even had a faint smell.

But the old man seemed very happy: "I've been busy outside, and my whole body is hot, not cold at all." ”

"You, you don't stop for the New Year. The old lady took a hot towel and handed it to the old man, while pouring him a cup of hot tea.

"Wipe your face, drink some tea first, and I'll cook dumplings for you." ”

The old man took the towel, and wiped the steaming towel on his cheeks, and the whole person seemed to be much more energetic.

"Hehe, it's a big New Year, it's a big harvest for the New Year, and today is a lot more harvest than usual. The old man put down the towel, walked to the somewhat shabby sofa and sat down, took the teacup and drank it all, and said with a smile: "In the past two days for the Chinese New Year, the scrap yard has been closed, and there are a lot of things in the house." ”

"I'll get you food first, let's sort it out together after eating, the smell in the house is too strong, such a big smell is easy to get sick, your body is ......" The old lady said, and went into the kitchen to make dumplings for the old man.

"It's not so pretentious, I think when I went to the countryside, the conditions were much worse than this. Before the old lady could finish her words, she was interrupted by the old man.

A trace of regret flashed in the old lady's eyes, but she forced a smile.

The old couple talked from time to time across the kitchen, and the night of Chinese New Year's Eve seemed to be less lonely.

After a while, the old lady came out with a bowl of hot dumplings, and the old man took the dumplings and smiled happily: "Thank you for your hard work." ”

"Hypocrisy. The old lady gave the old man a blank look: "We have been together for almost fifty years, and if we want to say that it is hard, it has been hard for almost fifty years." ”

"Yes, it's been almost fifty years in a blink of an eye, and the village flowers of the year have become old ladies. ”

"Didn't the handsome and dashing intellectuals of the past become old men?"

After eating a bowl of dumplings, the old lady saved another bowl of noodle soup for the old man: "Drink some noodle soup, eat and drink noodle soup, and ask Danfang!"

"Hot dumplings, hot noodle soup, the days are so much better now than they were back then. ”

After drinking the soup, the old lady went into the kitchen to wash the dishes, and the old man poured out all the contents of the snakeskin bag that he had just pulled back and began to sort them out.

Cartons are cardboard boxes, books are books, wine bottles are wine bottles, plastic is plastic, and ironware is ironware.

While tidying up, the old man also sighed: "Nowadays people are really getting more and more extravagant, such a good thing is thrown away, this book hasn't been written much, and there is still half a bottle of wine in this bottle......"

"You can't expect everyone to be like you, and if everyone is like you, there's no way for this society to progress, right?" the old lady joked with a smile.

"Do you mean I don't want to make progress?" asked the old man with a smile.

"Huh!"

As the old man spoke, he flipped over to a rectangle wrapped in newspaper, and when he opened it, the old man was dumbfounded, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of surprise.

"What's wrong?" said the old lady as she came out of the kitchen.

"Look, this ......"

The old man pointed to the newspaper that had been opened, and inside was a thick wad of brand-new hundred-dollar bills.

"So much money?" the old lady was also taken aback.

"That's almost 100,000 yuan, isn't it?"

"There should be 100,000. The old man nodded, he was scavenging all day long, but it was not because he was really poor, nor because he was uninformed.

"Where did you pick it up, so much money, eighty percent of it was accidentally thrown by someone, if you find it, people should be in a hurry. ”

"This should have been picked up in the trash can next to Building Five. The old man recalled: "I just don't know who the residents are." ”

"Let's call the police, so much money can't be kept in our house all the time, the owner's family may have found out at this time, so much money is gone, how can I sleep tonight, this year may not be good." ”

The old man nodded: "What you said is that it is not a small amount of money to put in anyone's house, I will go out and have a look first, maybe someone will come down to look for it, if no one is looking for it, then call the police, it is not easy for the police at night." ”

"Be careful, then. The old lady took a yellow coat and handed it to the old man: "If no one is looking for it, come back early, it's almost two o'clock at this time." ”

"I see. The old man nodded, put on his coat and slowly went out the door.

The old man's body was still a little rickety, and even if he didn't drag the snakeskin bag, he still walked very slowly, although he walked slowly, his steps were very steady.

......

Fang Han rummaged through several garbage stolen near the unit building, but did not find the cuboid, but his own garbage was in the trash can at the door, that is, there was no cuboid.

Some drink bottles and cardboard boxes were missing from the garbage.

Fang Han walked to the door of the community, the light in the doorman's room was still on, it was not yet two o'clock, the Spring Festival Gala was not over, and there was still singing on the TV in the guard's room.

"Bang bang bang!"

Fang Han knocked lightly on the door, and the doorman opened the door: "Doctor Fang?"

Fang Han has lived in this community for several months, often leaving early and returning late, it is precisely because of the early departure and late return that the doorman remembers it, he knows that Fang Han is a doctor in Jiangzhong Hospital.

And Fang Han is handsome and polite, every time he goes in and out, as long as he meets the doorman, he either smiles and nods, or greets him, and the doorman also likes Fang Han.

"Doctor Fang, why haven't you slept so late, come in, it's cold outside. Saying that, the doorman let Fang Han into the gatehouse, and there was a small sun in the gatehouse, which was hot.

"I'm here to inquire about something. Fang Han didn't sit down, and asked politely: "Do you know if there are any people in our community who often pick up garbage around?"

"Yes, why are you asking this?" the doorman was stunned for a moment, and then guessed: "Is there something valuable that has been thrown away as garbage?"

"Hmm. Fang Han nodded: "I looked for it in the trash can just now, the garbage I just threw away seems to have been rummaged through, and the wine bottles and the like are gone, I guess there is a garbage pick-up, right?"

"In that case, Doctor Fang, you don't have to worry too much, or you sit down first, and I'll ask you. As he spoke, the doorman picked up the lamp and prepared to go out.

Fang Han hurriedly said, "It's better for me to go with you, so as not to have any misunderstanding." ”

The doorman smiled and said, "Doctor Fang, relax your mind, if the things are really picked up by picking up garbage, they will definitely not be able to throw them away." ”

"Oh!"

Fang Han was a little surprised, the doorman was so confident.

The doorman said: "There is only one family who picks up garbage in our community, Uncle Feng from Building 10, we will not let anyone who picks up garbage outside into the community, this Uncle Feng is amazing, anyone who knows Uncle Feng can't help but give a thumbs up." ”

As he spoke, the doorman was already ready to go out, Fang Han also followed, the doorman closed the door directly, and said to Fang Han as he walked: "Uncle Feng used to be a professor at Jiangzhou Jiaotong University, and now he is retired and retired, but there is a lot of pension, but Uncle Feng donates his pension to the charity fund every month, but he makes a living by picking up garbage, even if he picks up garbage, as long as there is a balance, he will donate the excess money." ”

"Over the years, Uncle Feng has donated not millions, but seven or eight hundred thousand. ”

While speaking, the doorman sighed: "But I can donate so much money to go out, Uncle Feng is sick now, but he has no money to see a doctor, he can also see it, since he looks down on it, then he doesn't look at it, he still picks up garbage every day, buys some medicine every month, and still donates the extra money, if I haven't known Uncle Feng for many years, I really can't believe that there is such a selfless person as Uncle Feng in this world." ”
