Chapter Eighty-Four: The Happy Door
The early morning sun shines through the faint clouds and obliquely shines on the bonsai with dew on the windowsill, scattering sparkling blue light.
A few sparrows flew from the treetops in the distance, chirped and fluttered on the windowsill for a while, and then flew again into the distance.
Xiaolan didn't sleep all night, leaving a faint dark circle around her eyes, Zhang Dongjian didn't go home last night, for fear that Xiaolan would have a mistake, so he didn't close his eyes all night, during this period, Bai Lin called several times, fortunately he kept a spare machine by his side, otherwise Bai Lin's temperament would have to go crazy.
Early in the morning, Zhang Dongjian went outside to buy breakfast, but Xiaolan had no appetite at all, her two eyes kept staring at the downstairs outside the window, there were many vehicles coming in and out of the hospital gate, but she never saw her uncle's BMW, and said that it had been a night, why hadn't Brother Mingyan come back yet.
"Don't worry, let's eat something first. Although Zhang Dongjian was calm on the surface, he was also troubled inside, he didn't wait for Mingyan and them to come back last night, so he didn't hesitate to call the police, and then the police called and said that most of the kidnappers who kidnapped Xiaolan had been arrested, but the two children were not found at the scene, according to the kidnappers, Mingyan was injured and fled with Fluttershy.
The kid was a murderer, and he was worried about what crazy the other party was going to do, and the ransom, so he wouldn't have taken the money and gave Fluttershy anything, right?
Thinking of this, Zhang Dongjian thought about it, after all, he was too careless, he should have sent two bodyguards to follow that guy, even if he couldn't afford the money, at least he could bring Fluttershy back, alas, it has come to this, and it's too late to say anything.
"Uncle, don't worry too much, Brother Mingyan is not the kind of person you imagined. Xiaolan saw her uncle's concern.
Zhang Dongjian sighed helplessly, "The money is gone, I just hope he can let Fluttershy go, this girl is the lifeblood of me and your aunt." β
"Dad. β
Just as Zhang Dongjian is depressed, the door to the hospital room is pushed open, and Fluttershy runs in from the outside, followed by Mingyan and Sun Lei.
"Fluttershy, you're back. Zhang Dongjian was surprised and delighted, and hugged his daughter, and the father and daughter hugged and cried.
Xiaolan saw that Mingyan was safe and sound, and suddenly tears burst out of her eyes, she excitedly opened her arms to hug each other, because Mingyan had a bandage on her arm, she couldn't give her a big hug, so she could only wipe away the tears on the girl's face with her hand, and smiled slightly: "Silly girl, tears are so worthless, good, give my brother a smile." β
Xiaolan burst into tears and smiled, hurriedly pulled Ming Yan to sit on the edge of the bed, and smiled and beckoned Sun Lei to sit down and rest, Sun Lei laughed: "Little girl, how is it, do you feel better? β
Xiaolan smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's much better, thank you Brother Sun Lei, I heard Brother Mingyan say, it was you, Brother Gao Qiang and Brother Liu Ming who gave me blood transfusion, thank you, your great kindness to Xiaolan, Xiaolan will never forget it in her life, if you have the opportunity in the future, Xiaolan must repay you." β
Sun Lei waved his hand and said: "What to repay or not, as the saying goes, rely on relatives at home, rely on friends when you go out, of course, when relatives can't be trusted, you can only rely on friends." When he said this, he looked at Zhang Dongjian on the side with a little disdain.
Zhang Dongjian couldn't hold it on his face, so he had to take Fluttershy home to meet Bai Lin to reassure her, and when he just went out, Mingyan chased after him and returned the keys to the BMW, and said, "Your money is in the trunk, I haven't touched a cent, and your phone was thrown into the water by your daughter, and the suitcase was shot through a few holes, or else." β
Hearing that the money was still there, Zhang Dongjian was speechless with excitement, and said with a smile: "It's okay, those are not worth a few dollars, I really want to thank you this time." Stretching out his hand to shake hands with the other party, Ming Yan ignored him and returned to the bed and sat down.
Zhang Dongjian felt very embarrassed, so he walked out of the hospital room with Xiaolan Xiaodie in his arms.
Sun Lei looked at the back of the father and daughter leaving in wonder, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "What a stingy bag, people risked their lives to save your daughter, what's the matter, you have to express it, he's good, a thank you is over?" β
"Forget it, Brother Lei, let's not plan this. Ming Yan said with a smile.
Sun Lei smiled helplessly at him: "I said that you are really heartless, you are all injured, what's the matter, can't you get some medical expenses?"
Mingyan didn't want to drill with him, so he picked up the bowl of steaming wontons on the table with one hand, and Xiaolan hurriedly took it over with both hands: "Brother Mingyan, I'll feed you." β
Ming Yan shook his head: "I've eaten it, you can eat it while it's hot." β
"I'll go, when did you have breakfast, why don't I know?" Sun Lei complained, they spent the night in the car last night, and it was seven o'clock when they woke up, where was there still time for breakfast.
When Xiaolan heard this, she hurriedly asked Mingyan to lean against the head of the bed, she came to feed him, Mingyan giggled, "How can I be so squeamish, you eat first, eat your stomach, let's go home." β
"Go home?" Xiaolan was stunned.
Sun Lei smiled: "I found you a house outside, and you will live in it in a while." β
Xiaolan was very happy: "Brother Mingyan, do we really have a home?"
"Well, yes. β
"Great, we have a home. β
Looking at the girl's happy appearance of dancing, Ming Yan and Sun Lei smiled.
Sun Lei's rented house is at No. 58, Shuiqiao, Lingshi Road, Zhabei District, a decades-old residential community, the community has a festive name, called Happy Door, but the people who live here are not happy, because the rent here is cheap, the management is relatively loose, and there are workers at the bottom of all walks of life, from construction site workers to hotel waiters, from factory workers to college students who have just graduated and have not found a job, all kinds of things, and so on.
However, there is also a special type of people living in this special profession - women standing on the street, any alley can see a few women in twos and threes in twos and threes in a pile, one by one heavy makeup, the posture is enchanting, some of them are standing and some are leaning, some are bragging, some are knocking melon seeds and smoking cigarettes, and when they see men coming over, they will take the initiative to run over and talk, and after negotiating the price, they will lead people upstairs, and there will be a few men at the mouth of each alley, so they don't have to worry about the police coming to the door.
Sun Lei was very familiar with one of the women named Sister Lan, and stepped forward to say hello, Sister Lan stared at Mingyan behind him with silky eyes, and finally fell on the beautiful little girl, and then sneakily pulled Sun Lei aside, the two were whispering something, although Mingyan couldn't hear what they said, but it could be seen from their mouth shapes that Sister Lan was asking Sun Lei where he got the baby Xiaolan, Sun Lei explained that there were two people behind him, one was his buddy, and the other was his buddy's sister, Sister Lan didn't speak anymore, and threw a wink at Mingyan and turned over to solicit customersγ
Mingyan was electrocuted by her eyes, Sun Lei whispered to him, Sister Lan is interested in you, Mingyan couldn't help but tremble, took Xiaolan's hand and walked up to the third floor quickly.
The houses here are all six-story structures, from small single rooms to large suites, the prices are different, Mingyan asked Sun Lei to find a single room for himself, one is cheap, and the other is convenient to take care of Xiaolan.
Renting a house in Zhabei is also a temporary transition, the rent is settled every month, Mingyan's money is given to Xiaolan, and now it has been confiscated by Bai Lin as a "meeting gift", even the rent is borrowed from Sun Lei, Mingyan plans to use this month to contact Xiaolan's family abroad, and then go to find the army, explain his problems clearly, and then go to Liu Meng if he has time.
The reason why he put looking for Liu Meng last was because he didn't want to trouble her, it was not easy to work outside these days, so don't trouble others if you can.
The room area is not large, the furniture is also complete, there are floor tiles, toilets and balconies, but the landlord in order to earn more rent, the original room is separated by two or even three small rooms, the modified walls are all used to build wooden planks, the sound insulation effect is very poor, at night, there will be a fierce gasping and snapping sound of men and women next door.
Mingyan found the landlord to react to this matter, and the old man of the landlord frowned and gave him a slap in the face, it is already very good to be able to rent such a house for such a small amount of money in Shanghai, you are staying in a hotel.
