Chapter Fifty-Six: The Big Package Arrives
The balance in Han Du's payment software was rapidly reduced, leaving only more than a hundred yuan, so it seemed that he had to continue to carry out the mission to obtain the expedition fund reward.
Fortunately, he borrowed 1,000 yuan from Situ Yufeng on WeChat last time, and there were more than 200 left after using part of it one after another, which was enough for him to use for a few days, but he knew very well that the borrowed money had to be repaid, and it was not good to delay it for too long.
"Okay, I received the three-month rent, you two elders should thank this young man well."
The landlord, Lao Zhang, confirmed that the amount in the account was correct, and left happily after dropping a word to the two old men.
Han Du was then invited into the house by them, and it was a two-bedroom and one-living room structure, although there were a lot of things, but they were neatly cleaned up by the second elder.
Han Du sat down on an old sofa, a cup of tea was delivered to him, and the two elders also sat down opposite him together.
"Young man, thanks to you today, I don't know what your name is?" The old man asked gratefully.
"My name is Han Du." Han Du didn't ask what they were called, anyway, he estimated that the chances of meeting them again in the future were very small, and he didn't think about asking them to pay back the rent he had paid.
The old man's wife was immediately happy, smiled from ear to ear and said: "Such a coincidence, my old man's surname is also Han, we are our family, looking through the family tree, maybe we were a family one or two hundred years ago." ”
This was something Han Du didn't expect, he felt that there was really such a possibility as she said, and he also felt that fate was really wonderful.
"Han Du, since we are our family, I will be honest with you, we have been really tight on money recently, but we will definitely pay you back the rent you paid for us, you can rest assured." Old man Han wanted to reassure Han Du that he couldn't let him do good deeds without retribution.
"Yes, yes, let's write you an IOU, and we will never deny it if you come to us to collect debts with this IOU in the future." Old man Han's wife got up and went to write an IOU as she spoke.
Han Du looked at the two of them helplessly, glanced around the home they were renting now and said, "No need, this money is considered my good deed, you are old, it is not easy to earn some money, it is better to save the money in the future to live." ”
But the old man Han insisted on disagreeing, and said seriously: "Han Du, I'm not happy if you say this, I haven't relied on anyone else for a penny in my life, and I will definitely pay it back after I finish speaking, so you must collect the IOU, we don't know when we will have money, if you encounter a shortage of money, you must come to us for us, and we will pay you back." ”
At this time, the old woman also wrote an IOU, and she forced the fortress to Han Du, and Han Du could only accept it first.
The content on the IOU is very detailed and clear, the arrears are 6,900 yuan, the debtors are their old couple, and their names, ID numbers and household registration addresses are written on it.
Han Du put the IOU in his pants pocket, and the three of them continued to sit down and chat, and the old couple also asked Han Du to stay for lunch.
Han Du knew that they were in a difficult situation and hesitated to stay, when suddenly, his cell phone rang, interrupting his thoughts.
He glanced at the screen, which was a strange caller, and when he answered it, he asked, "Hey, who is it?" ”
"Is it Mr. Han Du? I'm a courier here, and you have two big packages arriving, are you at home now? Is it easy to pick it up? ”
The voice on the phone was a male voice of the same age as Han Du, and Han Du immediately understood that the things he had purchased online in Tiens Mall had arrived, and the speed was quite fast.
"I'm sorry, I'm not at home now, if you don't come to deliver it later, I'll take a taxi back immediately." Han Du stood up, and Old Man Han and the old man both looked at him.
"Well, it's okay, I'll go see off someone else first, and I'll go back to you." The courier agreed and hung up.
Han Du looked at the two old men in the room again and said, "I'm sorry, I can't eat lunch at your place, I have two very important packages that have arrived, and I must rush back to receive them." ”
After speaking, without waiting for them to reply, he walked quickly outside the house, the two old men went all the way to the exit of the alley, Han Du had already walked quickly to the street, and when he came to a sewer, Han Du took out the IOU and crumpled it into a ball, and threw it into the sewer.
This scene was seen by the two old men Han who were still standing at the exit of the alley, they looked at each other, their noses became sour, and tears gradually overflowed in their eyes, Han Du's actions were telling them that the money did not have to be returned.
Han Du had already called an online car-hailing car and sat in the back seat, this time the driver was an older person, estimated to be in his fifties, and his short hair was gray.
"Go to the Yangping community in the Xicheng District of Guqing City, right?" The older driver turned around and asked, seeing that Han Du was tall and long, showing a little surprise, such a male figure is not uncommon, but Han Du gave him a very special feeling, but it was not specific to say what was special.
"Well, it's a bit far, hurry up on the troublesome road, I'll go back in a hurry." Han Du leaned on the back seat and met the driver's gaze, and the driver was inexplicably blushing and heartbeat by him.
Maybe it was because Han Du was in too good shape and his face was handsome, the driver hurriedly withdrew his gaze and began to concentrate on driving.
The car started slowly, then gradually accelerated, and soon entered a high-speed driving state.
Han Du sat silently in the back, looking out the car window, the houses and vehicles on the side of the road quickly retreated, and his spirit gradually relaxed.
He felt sleepy, closed his eyes and fell asleep. He hadn't slept at all last night.
I don't know how long it has been, but with a violent shaking of the car, Han Du woke up, looked at the time on his phone, and found that half an hour had passed.
After Han Du opened his eyes, he inadvertently found that the driver in front of him was looking at himself through the rearview mirror, and he didn't know how long he had been looking, so he paused for a moment and said, "What are you looking at?" ”
The driver looked embarrassed, and while playing the steering wheel, he said with some weakness: "No, I didn't see anything, it's just that I am used to grasping the situation of the back seat through the rearview mirror, don't be surprised." ”
After speaking, I didn't know if Han Duxin believed it, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Guqingcheng has developed well over the years, and I heard that the GDP has exceeded one trillion. ”
"Yes, Guqingcheng ranks among the top 10 in large cities in China, and its GDP growth rate is expected to exceed 10% this year." As a native of Guqingcheng, Han Du naturally felt a little proud in his heart, and then looked at the older driver and continued, "Not only is Guqingcheng developing well, but Niutou Town, which is next to Guqingcheng, has also been good in recent years, and it is said that the subway in Guqingcheng will be repaired there. ”
"Hey, it's all said, it's been passed down for several years, and a few years ago it was said that Niutou Town would be merged into Guqing City, how can you say it's possible? You know how far Niutou Town is from Guqing City. "The driver is a person who understands, but there seem to be many people who believe such rumors, and there are all provinces, cities and even counties and towns.
