The next day.
Sixth day of the New Year.
"Dad, Mom, Uncle, Aunty, and Second Uncle, I am going back."
"Ok. Be careful on the road and give Huilan a call when you reach."
"Ok. You all should go back first. It's cold outside, and don't send me off."
"Ok. Take care of your mother. I will be going back to work tomorrow, and I will get someone to send Huilan back."
"By the way, I've put some supplements in the trunk for your mother and Uncle Yang."
"Ok. I will bring them to them. Thank you, Dad, and Mom. I will be leaving now. Take care of yourselves and call me if you need me."
"Ok. Haha."
"Ok. Come back when you are free."
"Sure. Bye."
"Brother-in-law! You must teach me martial arts the next time you come back! "
"Ok. Come over to Fen Zhou to visit me and your sister when you are free."
Dong Xuebing waved goodbye to Xie Huilan and the Xie Family. He met Xie Huilan's eyes and exchanged looks with Xie Jing before boarding his black Porsche sports car. He drove out of Senior Xie's Xishan Mansion Complex under Xie Hao's watchful eyes. This car belongs to Dong Xuebing's dormitory. But Xie Huilan knew Dong Xuebing will be using it and asked the City Government to drive it back before Lunar New Year. Now, it's convenient to go anywhere with this car.
After driving for a while, Dong Xuebing received an SMS.
It's from Xie Jing, and it's Sun Kai's address.
Dong Xuebing replied. "Is it in the west?"
Xie Jing: "I think so. I have never been there before."
Dong Xuebing: "Ok. Don't worry. I will go and fetch him. Have you spoken to him?"
Xie Jing: "I had spoken to Sun Kai. Brother-in-law, thank you so much."
Dong Xuebing replied. "Alright. We are a family and don't need to thank each other. That's all."
Dong Xuebing put down his phone and looked for Sun Kai's address. It's located in a remote area, and it's in a large alley. After making several turns, he finally found it.
At the entrance.
Dong Xuebing alighted and took out the health supplements Han Jing prepared for his mother from the trunk. "Xiao Sun! Xiao Sun!"
"Brother Dong?" A door on the left opened. It's Sun Kai.
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Am I early? Have you packed your things? "
Sun Kai looked a little uneasy. "Wait here, I'll go get my luggage. Wait for me."
Dong Xuebing heard someone talking inside and asked. "It's Lunar New Year, and we must visit your parents. Why don't you let me in?"
"Errr …"
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay. Then, please come in."
Dong Xuebing blinked and entered the house.
Dong Xuebing was shocked by what he saw. This is a small bungalow, about 20 meters in size. There is a living room and a bedroom. Dong Xuebing noticed there are two beds in the bedroom, and there is even a bed in the corner of the living room. There are some cupboards and tables in the living room. It's hard to have a place to stand, and it's very crowded.
There were a lot of people inside. Two old people were probably Sun Kai's parents, a middle-aged couple, and a little girl about eight or nine years old.
Sun Kai gritted his teeth. "My house is a little crowded. Don't mind me."
Sun Kai's mother quickly said. "Young man, take a seat. I will get you a glass of water."
Dong Xuebing smiled and passed the gifts to his mother. "Aunty, I can't stay here. Happy Lunar New Year. I did not buy anything, but I bought some health supplements for you all. I wish you all good health."
Sun Kai's father quickly replied. "No, no, no."
"That's right." Sun Kai's mother rejected. "I can tell this is expensive."
Dong Xuebing put down the gifts. "Please accept it. If not, I will feel bad."
Sun Kai introduced. "This is my parents, and this is my sister and brother-in-law."
Dong Xuebing greeted them one by one. No wonder Xiao Jing said she had not been here before. From Sun Kai's attitude, he should not dare to bring Xie Jing along. Sun Kai's family should be poor, and he did not invite Dong Xuebing into the house earlier. Dong Xuebing guessed that Dong Xuebing might look down on him. Dong Xuebing sighed in his heart. Who says everyone in Beijing is rich? Even the people who were born and raised in Beijing were mostly poor, and the gap between the rich and the poor was even greater than in other places. For example, this area of single-story houses was not rich at all.
Sigh … … Every family has their own problems.
"You are Xiao Jing's brother-in-law? Please have a seat. "Sun Kai's father greeted Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing quickly replied. "Uncle, don't stand on ceremony."
Sun Kai's mother sighed. "Our family is a little … embarrassing."
"Don't mention it. This place is fine. Haha … I like the atmosphere in your house. Don't let me sit. I will sit by myself." Dong Xuebing did not sit on the small sofa that Sun Kai's parents had vacated. He pulled a dirty stool near the entrance.
Sun Kai's sister quickly said. "That stool is dirty. You can sit on the sofa."
Sun Kai quickly goes over to help Dong Xuebing. He knows Dong Xuebing's clothes cost tens of thousands RMB.
Dong Xuebing waved his hand. "It's not dirty. It's fine to sit here."
Sun Kai had told his family about his dismissal from school yesterday, but he did not tell them it was Xie Jing's father who had played a role in it. He only told them he was fired because he had made a mistake at work. Sun Kai had also told them about Xie Jing's family situation, and Sun Kai's mother knew Xie Jing is not from an ordinary family. Dong Xuebing is Xie Jing's brother-in-law and is helping Sun Kai to introduce a job. That's why they are very polite to Dong Xuebing. They poured him a glass of water and gave him some fruits.
The little girl looked at the fruit platter in front of Dong Xuebing and pulled her mother's hand. "Mum, I also want to eat some oranges."
Sun Kai's sister gave her a stare. "Stop fooling around. That is for your uncle. You can eat it later."
The little girl pursed her lips and made an "oh" sound. She was very obedient and didn't say anything else. She just kept looking at the fruit plate.
Dong Xuebing felt sad and waved his hand. "Come, little one. Have some oranges. I will peel them for you." He picked up one and started peeling it.
Sun Kai's sister saw this and nodded to her daughter.
The little girl cheered and ran over to Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing peeled off a piece of the orange and passed it to her. "Here."
The little girl shook her head. "Uncle, eat first. I will eat after."
"Haha, ok. I will eat first." Dong Xuebing ate a piece of orange, and the little girl took a bite of the orange.
Dong Xuebing patted her head. "You are so sensible. Oh, it's Lunar New Year, and I still have not given you any red packet money. Come, show me your hand."
Sun Kai stopped Dong Xuebing. "Brother Dong, no need."
Sun Kai's mother also said. "That's right. Hong Hong, you cannot accept it."
Dong Xuebing ignored them and reached into his bag. He had prepared a lot of red envelopes for his children during Lunar New Year. But after seeing Sun Kai's family's situation, he took out the three red envelopes worth 6,666 RMB. It's about 20,000 RMB. He opened Sun Kai's red hand and stuffed it into the red envelope. "Don't listen to them. You must accept my red envelopes."
Sun Kai panicked. "Brother Dong!"
Hong Hong was shocked. "It's too thick."
Three bulging red packets were worth a lot of money.
Sun Kai's parents quickly rejected. "Just give Hong Hong 100 RMB. We cannot accept so much."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "It's not a lot. These are all 1 RMB, and not more than a few hundred." He reached out and picked up one of the red envelopes, opened it, and pulled out a one-yuan note at the end to show it to them. "Look, isn't it?" That yuan was obviously the odd part of 6666.
"All 1 RMB?" Sun Kai's family said. "Then … Hong Hong, why are you not thanking your uncle?"
"Thank you, Uncle!"
"You're welcome." Dong Xuebing pinched Hong Hong's cheeks.
But Sun Kai knew Dong Xuebing's net worth is over 100 million RMB. How can it be possible for Dong Xuebing to give red packets worth 1 RMB? Even a fool would know that it was impossible. Sun Kai's family was poor, and his brother-in-law is still on subsistence allowance. The whole family is depending on Sun Kai to make ends meet. But Sun Kai had lost his job, and Sun Kai knew Dong Xuebing wants to use these red packets to ease their stress.
"Brother Dong! No! "Sun Kai said.
Dong Xuebing laughed. "I am giving Hong Hong Hong red packets. Why can't you say no? Alright. Have you packed your things? Are we leaving now? "
Sun Kai's mother said. "Can you stay for a while?"
"No, Aunty. I still have something on. I will visit you again when I am free."
"That, that's fine. I'll leave Sun Kai in your care. Thank you for your concern."
"I will. Don't worry."
The Sun Family's parents are reluctant to let their child leave, and their eyes turned red.
Dong Xuebing comforted them. "Anyway, it's not far from Beijing. It's only about an hour's drive. He can go home every day. If Xiao Sun wants to come back, I will think of a way to help him. This time … just treat it as Xiao Sun going out to gain some experience."
Sun Kai's father nodded and held Dong Xuebing's hand. "Thank you. If this child is stubborn, just scold him!"
Dong Xuebing laughed. "What are you saying? I know Xiao Sun is more mature than me. You don't need to worry about him."
Sun Kai walked out of his bedroom with his luggage. "Brother Dong, I am done packing."
"Alright. Let's go."
The Sun Family came out to send them off.
After saying goodbye, the Porsche left the alley with the roar of its engine.
Sun Kai's sister looked at the back of the car and exclaimed. "I remember now. This is a Porsche, and it's a sports car!"
Sun Kai's brother-in-law was stunned. "The Porsche that costs a few million?"
"Oh, those red packets …"
Sun Kai's father, Sun Kai's sister, and brother-in-law opened one each.
Then, they all gasped. "Six thousand six hundred and sixty-six? 20,000 in total? So many? "
Sun Kai's mother kept quiet for a long time and sighed. "Xiao Jing's family is not ordinary. Our Xiao Kai is not good enough for her. Sigh …"
