021. Mysterious visitor

021, Mysterious Guest

Ding Qi then thought that the access control of the dormitory building was broken, and he could open it with force. It seemed that someone had come directly. The tutor's family was in the United States. Ding Qi really couldn't remember who would come to him. When he opened the door, he was surprised and happy. He was actually Tian Rongping, the second son of the university dormitory.

Tian Rongping was also stunned when he saw Ding Qi, and opened his mouth wide and said, "Xiao Qi, you are dressed so energetic. Where are you going to pay New Year's greetings?"

Ding Qi shaved his beard clean, applied some skin cream, and his hair was tidy. Although he had not bought new clothes during the Chinese New Year, he was dressed very cleanly. Tian Rongping thought Ding Qi would look decadent and miserable, but the contrast between meeting was too big, so he was so surprised. In fact, he was three hours late, and Ding Qi had already cleaned up himself and the house.

Ding Qi was also surprised and said, "Second, you are not at home and stay well early in the first and first day of the Lunar New Year. Why did you come here when you are not at home?"

Tian Rongping exaggeratedly: "On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I'm the first to greet you. I'm the first to greet you!... I've said so many times, don't call me the second one!"

Ding Qi smiled and said, "Second Brother, come in quickly!... Why don't you have New Year's goods to pay New Year's greetings? At least you can carry two tubes of squid cakes."

Tian Rongping entered the room and sat on the bed and said, "Second Brother Second, I don't sound nice either. I have that fat head and big ears... What is a macake?"

Macai is a traditional pasta with a shape and size similar to mooncakes. Most of them are made of lard and noodles, with rock sugar stuffing and five-nut stuffing, with a layer of sesame seeds on the outside. This is a very old, very rustic, and very traditional snack, which is not delicious for children today.

It is said that Qi Baishi's living room table always has a plate of cakes for guests. I don't know how long it has been. It looks like a tough feeling. None of the guests can eat them, but they are just like making it.

When Ding Qi was very young, relatives walked around New Year's Day, some people gave dim sum such as macaques, which were not boxes, but rolled into a tube of white paper, with a tube of ten pieces of cake. After growing up, they rarely saw this kind of thing, it was a childhood memory.

Ding Qi has read a lot of books in the library recently. He occasionally saw someone mentioning the living room of Qi Baishi's house, which awakened the memories of the New Year when he was a child, and he inadvertently said it. He pulled over a chair and sat down, and talked to Tian Rongping about the allusion about "macake", which made Tian Rongping laugh.

Tian Rongping took out a kraft paper bag from his bag and handed it to Ding Qi and said, "Although I didn't bring a pancake, I didn't come empty-handed. This is the New Year's money I packed for you, get it quickly!"

Ding Qi took the paper bag and opened it and looked at it. He was stunned for several seconds. There was 50,000 yuan in cash in neatly. Electronic transfers are very convenient these days, but Tian Rongping still took out the cash and brought it. He looked up and said, "Second brother, are you here to pay back the money? I'm not in a hurry, why bother to make a trip on the first day of the Lunar New Year!"

Tian Rongping said carelessly: "I have it on hand now, so of course I have to pay you back first. You must be more needed."

Ding Qi had already reacted at this moment. Tian Rongping must have heard of what happened to him and thought he was now poor, so he quickly raised money to pay back the 50,000 owed to him first. Ding Qi shook his head and said, "Second brother, I am actually not short of money now. I just received a 100,000 year-end bonus before the holiday!"

Ding Qi was telling the truth. Mental Health and Heart really gave him a 100,000 year-end bonus. This was something that Zhong Dafang strived for and listed various reasons during internal discussions. At that time, Liu Feng was already in the United States. When he received the year-end bonus distribution plan, Liu Feng did not make any comments to approve it. Anyway, Zhong Dafang was willing to make such a decision, and Liu Feng, who was responsible for the final decision, was willing to criticize it like this.

Tian Rongping widened his eyes and said, "So many year-end bonuses? You're talking nonsense, you're not..."

Speaking of this, he wanted to speak but stopped. Ding Qi smiled and continued, "I was indeed fired, but I had worked for more than ten months before the fire, and the year-end bonus must be calculated."

Tian Rongping: "It's such a good unit for ten months! How much did you get to the end of the year last year?"

Ding Qi: "Last year, 50,000, twice as much as this year. After all, it is because I have a good leader, it's so humane!"

Tian Rongping: "Is it true or false?"

Ding Qi: "Really, I didn't lie to you!"

Tian Rongping: "I am a little envious of you. Our unit’s year-end bonus this year is to pay two more months of salary, which is more than 10,000 yuan."

Ding Qi: "I came to pay back the money on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Do you regret it now?"

Tian Rongping waved his hand quickly and said, "That's not the case. I have it on hand now, so I'll pay it back quickly."

Ding Qi: "I haven't received the invitation when you get married, and I haven't even given the money for the share. Today you invite me to have a drink alone, and I can just make up for the gift!"

Tian Rongping borrowed money from him to decorate a new house for marriage, but something happened to Ding Qi that day. Later, he did not receive Tian Rongping's wedding invitation. It was probably Tian Rongping also knew what happened, so he didn't disturb him. Ding Qi forgot about this, and only then did he remember when he saw Tian Rongping.

Unexpectedly, Tian Rongping waved his hand and said, "Don't mention any gifts, the marriage has not been completed!"

Ding Qi said in surprise: "What's going on? Didn't it even be renovated?"

Tian Rongping: "Stop talking here, I'll invite you out for a drink and chat while eating."

Ding Qi: "Where is a hotel open on the first day of the Lunar New Year?"

Tian Rongping: "Look at how ignorant you didn't celebrate the New Year in a big city like our Jinghu, right? Not to mention the first day of the Lunar New Year, restaurants will open on the thirty night!"

Ding Qi murmured in a low voice: "Anyway, the school canteen is not open. You don't know about Macai!"

Ding Qi has lived in Jinghu City for seven and a half years since college, but he did not celebrate the New Year here. Since the Spring Festival when he was 18 years old, he spent the New Year at his uncle's house in his hometown, and did not return to school until the winter vacation starts. In the town in his hometown, there is no restaurant open before the eighth day of the lunar month, and the old rule in his early years was to open the fifth day of the lunar month.

Jinghu City is different. Although there are many large food stalls and small restaurants closed during the Spring Festival, there are also many large restaurants that are endless during the New Year's Eve. Many people eat in restaurants on New Year's Eve. Although the price is more expensive, it is convenient and worry-free. It is also suitable for couples to call their parents to have the New Year's Eve dinner together.

Walking out of the school, passing through a large shopping mall, we found a restaurant that was still open, and we ate and chatted in the lobby. The two of us chatted until after 2 pm.

Tian Rongping met on a blind date and thought it was appropriate for each other. Then, it was time to talk about marriage, especially Tian Rongping's parents were particularly considerate. The woman suggested that the man had to have his own house, and the couple did not live with their parents-in-law after marriage. Tian Rongping's parents agreed and bought a house for Tian Rongping.

The woman also proposed that the house should be decorated first, and the man was responsible for paying the money. The decoration according to the woman's wishes, and the Tian family agreed. At this time, the family's savings were not enough, and Tian Rongping borrowed 50,000 yuan from Ding Qi.

The house was renovated and the wedding reception hotel was also found. Tian Rongping even paid the deposit for the wedding reception, and the wedding was about to be held in one week. At this time, the woman made another request. The woman's parents originally agreed not to give a bride price, but suddenly changed her statement and it was not easy for her daughter to raise her so big. The bride price was also sincere. She had to get a 100,000 bride price on the day of receiving the bride.

Speaking of this, Ding Qi poured himself into his own drink and said, "One hundred thousand is not too much. The most important thing is that you have already invested so that you should not lose your marriage because of this request, right? If you are not happy, your parents will agree."

Tian Rongping shook his glass and said, "Don't talk to me about psychology, I know everything! The key is that there is a rebellion over and I promise not to do so. When things come to an end, I suddenly made this request again, which caught people off guard. You are right, my parents may have tolerated it in a hurry to hold their grandson, but I feel that I can't bear it.

My parents worked hard all their lives. They spent all their savings for me and had to borrow money. How could I bear it as a son? I had to borrow it myself if I wanted to borrow it. The couple would repay it together in the future! I won’t say this anymore, but what’s even more fatal is another requirement. I will never agree to it, and my parents will not agree to it either.”

Ding Qi asked slowly, "Does the woman's name be written in the property certificate?"

Tian Rongping: "How did you know?"

Ding Qi: "It's an old routine, do you really think I don't know? If you really care about each other, it's selfless because of love, it's okay to write each other's name. In fact, sometimes we don't want to. The reason deep in our hearts is just that we haven't read it, and the relationship hasn't reached that point."

Tian Rongping snorted coldly and said, "Listen carefully, I didn't add her name to the property certificate, but changed it to her name. There is no one with my name, only her name! She said she wouldn't agree not to get married, so I won't get married. The banquet has been settled, and the deposit paid can only be refunded half, so I will accept it too."

Ding Qi put down the cup in amazement, paused for a moment before saying: "I don't like malicious assumptions about others, I only say the gentlest judgment: extreme lack of self-confidence, lack of trust and responsibility for emotional feelings, and a strong sense of insecurity in this society, and cognitive impairment, she will..."

Tian Rong Ping shook his head and said, "You speak so gently and politely enough! There is no need to use such a professional tone. You are no longer a doctor, and I am not here to diagnose her. She is sick and sick. Don't talk about this anymore. Come on, come on and drink! Why don't a real man have no wives? There is no grass in the world? I can keep the green mountains and find them slowly, and wherever they fall..."

When he was drunk, his words became casual. Tian Rongping suddenly asked, "Have you broken up with Jiajia?" If he hadn't drunk enough, he wouldn't have mentioned such things.

Ding Qi nodded lightly and said, "We have broken up, we are not suitable."

How did Ding Qi and Jiajia break up? No one could explain the process clearly, and no one even took the initiative to mention it. It seemed that it happened so naturally, and it gradually drifted away in the past few months until it was no longer a lover relationship.

Ding Qi had just had an accident, but he did not contact Jia Jia. Later, Jia Jia took the initiative to contact him and expressed concerns and concerns. Maybe it was because there were too many things, maybe it was because he was in a bad mood. Ding Qi did not pay attention to Jia Jia as he used to, and his contacts became less and less, and his relationship seemed increasingly distant.

Later, Jia Jia told him that she was going to the United States for the New Year. Ding Qi wished her a happy time and reminded her to pay attention to safety. Later, Jia Jia told him that she planned to study in the United States, and Ding Qi sent her blessings...

Thinking about the time when he and Jia Jia got closer and closer, Liu Feng did not interfere. Today, he and Jia Jia were getting farther and farther away, and Liu Feng didn't say anything either. Maybe he couldn't say anything. Everything happened very dull, and there was no need for anyone to say break up.

Ding Qi was recalling, and Tian Rongping put his head over and asked in a low voice: "Do you hate her?"

Ding Qi looked at the wine glass in his hand and said, "Hate her? Why do you hate her? No, I don't hate her at all, and I shouldn't hate her at all. I can only thank her. She has been with me for three unforgettable years in my life and has given me so many wonderful time.

She is not my enemy, and she has no promises or responsibilities to me, and she has never thought about anything from me. She just gave me a lot, gave me what I never had, what I longed for, what I lack, what I really want..."

Tian Rongping interrupted him and said, "I can't stand the sentences you have! But you are right. Such a beautiful girl, the daughter of Professor Liu Feng's family, has been with you for three years, and has made you sleep for three years in vain. No matter how you do, you will only take advantage of it and not suffer any loss..."

Ding Qi quickly raised his glass and said, "Stop, stop me! Drink quickly and block your stinky mouth."

Tian Rongping fucked and said, "Your heart is really big."

Ding Qi: "What about that?"

Tian Rongping was stunned: "Yes, otherwise so what? Why do you have so many negative emotions that will only make you unhappy!"

I was so dizzy when I drank this wine, but Ding Qi did not vomit, and of course there was no fragment. He was just a little fluttering when he went back, and he had to hold the handrail to walk steadily.

The next morning, Ding Qi got up at 9 o'clock. Just after washing up, he suddenly heard a knock on the door again. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, who came to him? When he opened the door, he couldn't help but be stunned. It was Liu Guonan.

Liu Guonan was wearing a slim-fitting hatless marten collar wool trench coat today and put on light makeup. The pure black furry collar made her face look very white and pink. When she saw Ding Qi, she timidly lowered her head and said, "Hello, Doctor Ding! I'm here to greet you. The door lock downstairs was pushed away with my hand, and I'm here."

Ding Qi didn't say much, just nodded and said, "Come in and sit down!" He pulled out the only chair and sat on the bed.

After Liu Guonan sat down, he lowered his head and touched his right hand with his left hand. Ding Qi asked, "How do you know I live here?"

Liu Guonan: "I'm looking for someone to inquire. Actually, I'm here to apologize to Dr. Ding, and I said those words again..."

Ding Qi interrupted: "No need to say it, I understand your mood at that time. I have to thank you for what happened later." After Tian Xianglong first reported the information, someone was counter-reporting the next day, which led to a reversal of public opinion. The whistleblower claimed that he was the cousin of the victim of the Jiangbei murder case, and of course it was Liu Guonan.

Liu Guonan: "You don't have to thank me, that's what I should do. But I didn't expect that they later bypassed Ankang Hospital, but pointed the finger at you personally, making things bigger. There are many things that need to be turned back to understand. I was indeed wrong. I shouldn't think that way, I shouldn't look at you like that, let alone say you like that. I really want to say thank you, but I actually want to thank you, you are a good person!"

Ding Qi smiled: "Is this sending me a good person card?"

Liu Guonan quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, I don't mean that, I think you are a good person."

Ding Qi: "Don't be so polite, I didn't do anything."

Liu Guonan looked up and said, "I know what you did... No, no, no, I don't mean that either. You are not a murderer, and the police can't say that! I mean, Tian Qi is dead, but you have to bear punishment. This world is too unfair. The innocent people are always unlucky, good people are not rewarded, and your school is too overdoing." She was a little incoherent.

Ding Qi said lightly: "The thing is too big, it starts with my violation of discipline. If you are the head of such a large organization, you will deal with it like this. But good people will also be rewarded. Didn't you come to greet me for a New Year?" The last sentence was a joke to ease the atmosphere. He didn't want Liu Guonan to be so nervous.

Liu Guonan's face turned red, and he drew a bulging red envelope from his handbag and handed it over, and hesitated and said: "I am here to pay New Year's greetings. This is New Year's money for the New Year, I'll give it to you!"

New Year's money? Liu Guonan gives him New Year's money! This girl is not very good at human relationships. She wanted to express her gratitude to Ding Qi, so she barely made an excuse, but this is not a relative or a good person... Ding Qi was quite amused and cried, shook his head and said, "I am also an adult, why do you give me New Year's money during the New Year?"

The red envelope was actually a red envelope, and the thickness should be 20,000 yuan. Why should I give it money? Her idea should be similar to Tian Rongping. She thought that Ding Qi had been unemployed for more than four months and must be poor and lacking money. She gave it too directly, and was afraid of hurting Ding Qi's self-esteem, so she actually thought of the name "New Year's money".

In any case, Ding Qi was still very grateful. In the past few months, he worked as a temporary worker in the library, 1,500 a month, but he still lived in the school dormitory for free and ate in the school cafeteria, without any other expenses. He originally had 80,000 yuan in savings, and lent Tian Rongping 50,000 yuan, but he had already returned it yesterday, and got another 100,000 yuan in the "year-end bonus".

It is also said that he now has 180,000 yuan in his savings, and he has never had money in his pocket for so many years. Although it was the time when he was at his most downturn, Liu Guonan sent another 20,000 yuan today. Is he going to make up for him?

Liu Guonan replied: "You can't come empty-handed, just a little bit of your heart, you can accept it. In fact, in previous years, I would give my cousin New Year's money every year, but this year he is gone, and when I see you, it feels like I see him... No, no, don't get me wrong. It's not auspicious to say such things during the Chinese New Year, but I have no other meaning, I want to say..."

Ding Qi quickly took the red envelope and said, "No need to say it, I understand what you mean. I can't take so much, just like this, I can do it, I'll be happy for the New Year, thank you!" He opened the envelope, and there were indeed two bundles of new hundred-dollar bills. He took out one of them, put it into his pocket, then put the remaining money back to the envelope, and returned it to Liu Guonan.

Liu Guonan subconsciously took the envelope and asked somewhat, "What kind of custom is this? Is it a one in a hundred?"

Ding Qi almost laughed out loud. The banknotes were 100 bundles. He took out one piece of each bundle, but he didn't pick one in a hundred. Sometimes this girl was not good at speaking, and sometimes she was really good at pronunciation! He smiled and said, "Give me 20,000 New Year's money. I'm two years younger than you, and I'll give you 19,000 New Year's money. We all gained a lot during the New Year."

Liu Guonan did not insist anymore, put away the envelope and asked, "I heard that your partner broke up with you?" When she said this, her voice was very thin, and she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Ding Qi's eyes.

Ding Qi waved his hand and said, "I won't talk about this anymore. I won't talk about anyone breaking up with anyone, but I just didn't continue."

Liu Guonan: "I also heard that the school will leave this dormitory for you until the start of the next semester. You will have to move out after the New Year... There is a house in my house that is still empty. It was bought by my parents early and planned to get my marriage. There is no one living in it now. You can move there temporarily. They are all friends, so don't be polite to me."

Not only did she have a free house, Tian Rongping also said yesterday that the marriage was not completed, but for the sake of class convenience, he moved to the newly renovated house and lived in it. There was still a room in the new house. Ding Qi could also move in with him, but Ding Qi refused his good intentions.

Ding Qi replied: "I am not short of money now. I really have some savings in my work over the years. I have contacted Jie before the New Year. Jie found a house for me. I will move over after the Spring Festival holiday. Thank you for your worries."

Liu Guonan seemed to have to raise his eyes as if he mustered up his courage and said, "Then you have to spend money on your own! Actually, there is no need to be polite to me. I always want to find an opportunity to do something for you."

Ding Qi smiled gently and said, "You mentioned your cousin just now and said that seeing me reminded you of your cousin, this is a psychological empathy phenomenon. You should know that I used to be your psychological counselor, and then those things happened again. In this process, you may subconsciously have emotional projection..."

Liu Guonan looked at him, not only like looking at his cousin, but Ding Qi felt a little uncomfortable and strange. He chose a very "professional" method and talked about what empathy is from a professional perspective.

This made Liu Guonan speechless, and finally said weakly: "You are no longer a psychologist."

He finally sent away the affectionate Liu Guonan and refused the other party's request to invite him to dinner. After closing the door, Ding Qi smiled bitterly, but felt that his mood was much more cheerful.

The next day on the third day of the Chinese New Year, Ding Qi got up and went to the playground on the campus for two laps. After returning to the dormitory, he washed his face and wiped his sweat. He was thinking about something to eat for lunch, but suddenly he heard someone knocking on the door again. The traditional customs of the past, the so-called "New Year" was three days. I didn't expect that people would visit the first to the third day of the Chinese New Year, and I was not idle every day!

Although the access control downstairs is not easy to use, no one has a sticker to notify the visitor that it is broken. Why do everyone knows to push it and then directly build it? Who is this time, and what are you here to do?

When I opened the door, I saw a stranger. I was less than thirty years old, over 1.7 meters tall, wearing frameless resin glasses, and looked not deep or even flat. I was dressed in a very decent outfit. In addition to the slightly small eyes, I was considered to be pretty.
Chapter completed!
