Chapter 210 Sigh
"Yes!" Su Yunyun nodded at Mr. Du, her face full of worry.
"Yunyun, don't worry." Han Sen couldn't bear to see Su Yunyun worried. "I'll call Ning Wei later and ask him how his house search is going. We'll go and have a look then. I'm sure we can buy a suitable courtyard house."
"This is the only way." Su Yunyun replied dejectedly.
"How many courtyards do you want to buy when buying a courtyard house?" Old Du asked Su Yunyun loudly.
"I want to buy a bigger one, so that my family can live in a spacious place. It would be even better if I could find a house with two or three entrances," Su Yunyun said with great anticipation, but soon became disappointed, "but looking at the current situation, it's difficult to buy a house with one entrance."
"Let me ask around for you guys," Mr. Du suppressed his thoughts and offered to help. "I have some acquaintances in Beijing. I'll see if I can find some good houses and then tell you guys."
Su Yunyun and Han Sen's eyes lit up when they heard this. With Mr. Du's help, the possibility of buying a suitable house would be much greater.
"Thank you, teacher!"
"Thank you, Mr. Du!"
The two thanked Mr. Du in unison, but Mr. Du waved his hand and said, "Just wait for my news. It's too early to thank you now!"
After they chatted for a while, they found it was noon. Su Yunyun and Han Sen proposed to treat Mr. Du to a meal, but at this time a teacher from the school came over and said that there had to be an emergency meeting in the afternoon, so there was no way to go out for dinner. As there was not enough time, they could only leave first and not disturb Mr. Du from working.
Before they left, Mr. Du asked them to go back to the guesthouse first and he would call them if there was any news.
Then Mr. Du picked up the enamel pot and went to the cafeteria with the school teachers to eat, so as not to delay the afternoon meeting.
After the afternoon meeting, Mr. Du returned to his office and sat quietly for a while before he made up his mind and dialed a phone number. The call was quickly connected. "Hello, who is this?"
"Old Li, this is Old Du." Old Du greeted Old Li on the other end of the phone with a gentle expression.
"Old Du? Why did you think of calling me?" Mr. Li was very surprised. Ever since returning to Beijing, Mr. Du had been concentrating on his work. Most of the time when they met, it was he who took the initiative to find him. This time, it was the first time that someone took the initiative to call him. Mr. Li was flattered but confused at the same time!
"Does the house that the government promised to return to me still count?" Mr. Du went straight to the point.
\"What house?" Mr. Li didn't react for a moment.
"It's the courtyard house passed down from my ancestors!" Old Du reminded him.
"Oh, I remember now," Mr. Li suddenly realized after Mr. Du reminded him, "Didn't you say you didn't want it? You said that one person couldn't live in such a big yard!"
"I can now live in such a big yard again!" Mr. Du took back what he had said before, "Please ask for me. I want to get the key to that house back in the next two days. Please help me to hurry it up."
"What's the matter that makes you so anxious to get the key?" Mr. Li felt it was very strange. He was reluctant to take the key before, but now he was in a hurry to get the key. The contrast was too great, and he was very curious about the reason behind it.
"I'll tell you in detail when it's done," Mr. Du was unwilling to discuss the details now. "Just tell me if it can be done now, right?"
"Since you've said so, it can definitely be done!" Mr. Li agreed straightforwardly, "I'll call to finalize this matter later, but you have to keep your promise and tell me the reason after it's done."
"No problem," Mr. Du agreed without hesitation, and then, "I have something else to do. I'm hanging up now!"
When Mr. Li heard the beeping sound coming from the receiver on the other end of the phone, he shook his head helplessly, put down the phone, and called someone in to handle the matter.
Su Yunyun and Han Sen, who had already returned to the guesthouse, had no idea about what Mr. Du had done. They still had doubts in their minds and thought they had to find out quickly so that they would have a clear idea. In addition, they also had to push for progress on the house matter, so Han Sen rested in the house for a while and then called Ning Wei to ask him about the progress.
"Han Sen, I'm really sorry. I haven't found a suitable house yet," Ning Wei said apologetically. "It's not that I haven't found a house, but the conditions of those houses are similar to the ones we've seen before, and the residents are even more difficult and troublesome than the ones we've seen before. So I'm embarrassed to let you go and see them. I'm still contacting my childhood friends today to ask if there are any suitable houses!"
"Ning Wei, it's okay. We can't be in a hurry to buy a house, and you don't have to be too anxious," Han Sen persuaded Ning Wei directly after hearing his guilty voice. "We will stay in Beijing for a long time this time, so we have plenty of time to choose."
"Okay, I'll look for it carefully next time." Ning Wei felt as if the burden on his shoulders had become even heavier. He had to live up to Han Sen's understanding!
"I'm calling you today because I have something else to ask you." Han Sen saw that no one was at the pay phone at this time, so he asked directly on the phone, "I want you to help me find someone."
"Who are you looking for? You tell me!" Ning Wei patted his chest on the other end of the phone. It would take a while to find a house to buy, because it was not something he was good at. But if it was about finding someone, this was a perfect match. He said excitedly, "I will definitely help you check it out thoroughly."
"Professor Du from Jingcheng Medical University," Han Sen whispered, "I want to know why he is alone now? Does he have any family?"
"Professor Du!" The excitement in Ning Wei's words disappeared without a trace. "No need to check. I know what you are asking about."
"You know?" Han Sen was very surprised. "You also know Mr. Du?"
"I don't know him," Ning Wei said, playing with the telephone coil with his hands, feeling a little heavy-hearted. "But Professor Du is well-known in Beijing because he is a kind-hearted doctor and has cured countless people."
"Then do you know if he has any family?" Han Sen asked quickly. Ning Wei on the other end of the phone was an insider, so he wanted to confirm it quickly and tell Su Yunyun so that she would stop wondering what the situation was.
"Professor Du has a family, but when he was demoted, his family members died one after another for some reasons," Ning Wei said with a sigh, "so now Professor Du is all alone!"
"..." Han Sen held the phone in his hand, silent for a long time.
