Chapter 1069 The Great Worker
At Christmas, people's spirits relax.
Everyone had a good night's sleep, no one got up early, even Li Zitao, who was used to getting up early, slept in late.
By the time they got up, it was already noon.
Sisters Mary are preparing dinner in the kitchen, and today's workload is not easy at all.
"Good morning..."
"Good morning..."
Hugging and kissing, the sweet appearance of the two made the sisters make a disgusted 'du' sound, and their faces were full of teasing smiles.
"You two are so disgusting." Little Mary dodged back in a funny way, as if she was afraid of being infected by a virus.
"It's sweet enough to make people jealous." Elizabeth said happily, with a standard aunt's smile on her face.
Maybe it's because of her age, her smile now looks more and more like her mother.
"I'll go over there to have a look, so I won't bother you." Li Zitao pointed to the living room, turned and left to leave time for the sisters.
"Hi, Charlie." Feng En's complexion looked good today, much better than yesterday.
"Hi..." Li Zitao raised his hand in greeting, and Li Zitao noticed the man beside him.
"Ethan, right? We were too busy last night, we didn't have time to have a good chat." Li Zitao took the initiative to raise the topic. starter
Ethan, little Mary's husband, is not a royal, nor a famous family, he is an ordinary free humanitarian worker.
His essence is a doctor. During World War II, he traveled to all dangerous war zones, and he can't even remember the people he saved.
Li Zitao knew that his wife was very interested in him, and wanted him to join his charity fund to provide better services and more help to people.
"Charlie, would you like something to eat? The pretzels here are amazing." Ethan handed the plate to him while eating.
"Thank you, I know they are great." Li Zitao picked up a piece and ate it.
He likes the pretzels made by the chef, they are very delicious, a hundred times better than those sold outside, he is sure of this, don't forget that this is his kitchen.
"Ha, sorry, I forgot that you are the owner here." Ethan smiled awkwardly.
"It's okay, you can treat this place as your own home." As long as you don't think so in your heart, Li Zitao admitted that he was only speaking politely.
"Ethan, tell us about your work." Li Zitao wanted to know more about him, because Mary would like to hear it.
"Uh... the work is boring and dangerous, you never know when shells are going to fall from the sky, and you never know when someone breaks into the camp and takes all the medicines, or someone puts a gun to the head for enemy healer,
Even though it's just a dirty open space with a simple tent taped up with rags that can't even block the wind, you still need to be vigilant at all times. "
"It does sound dangerous." Li Zitao signaled him to continue.
"Believe me, it's far more dangerous than it sounds, but it's also meaningful. That's why I will stick to it. No matter how many people die or what the price is, saving people is a doctor's bounden duty." Yi Sen's tone was very flat.
It doesn't sound like he's proud of what he's done, but rather sad.
It seemed that he had lost many friends in the war, and indeed he had, and that every once in a while they dwindled in number.
"It's great,
I'll never be able to do it... I know. "Feng En raised his glass in admiration, wanting to toast him a glass of respect.
"It's not great, it's just doing the right thing within our ability." When it comes to work, Ethan wants to say a lot, not as taciturn as he was last night.
"No, it's great, Ethan, what you've done is admirable." Mary stood behind the sofa at some point, eavesdropping on their discussion.
"Hey, come here, you can't stand for long now." Beckoning, Li Zitao let her sit in his arms.
"Go on, Ethan, I want to hear more about your work." Mary said with a sip of fruit wine.
Someone is willing to listen, and Ethan seems to have opened up a chatterbox, talking endlessly, and he really hopes that his words can have some effect. starter
For example, let this wealthy couple donate generously and invest more funds, manpower, and material resources in humanitarian work to help people in need.
"Everyone, dinner is ready." Lunch is ready, simple scones, some side dishes and vegetable soup.
No one cared about lunch, everyone was doing their own things, and they also put the food on the coffee table, listening to Ethan continue to tell his heroic deeds while eating.
"It seems that you have a very happy conversation." Little Mary also came over, and she could take a break during lunch and listen to what they were talking about.
"We are listening to Ethan's work experience, which is very interesting and great." Li Zitao said while drinking the thick soup with a spoon.
"That's right, he is the best." Little Mary looked at her husband affectionately, without any false affection inside.
"Don't say that, I owe you a lot, I owe Hannah a lot, and I haven't been by your side all these years." When it comes to family, Ethan is full of guilt.
He has done a great job at work, but he has neglected a lot in terms of family.
Their child, the little princess Hannah, is already 3 years old, and he spent only a few months with his daughter. This is the most regrettable thing in his heart.
The place where he works is too dangerous, and it is impossible to bring them with him, so he can only maintain this kind of life of gathering less and leaving more.
"Don't feel guilty, you did a good job, dear, you are a good man, a good husband, and a good father." Little Mary comforted him with a hug.
This greatly changed Li Zitao and Mary's impression of her. Who would have thought that the little Mary who liked to make trouble, rebel, and free will become so virtuous and caring.
It was like a miracle, full of inconceivable.
"Okay, we should continue to prepare, otherwise we will only be faced with empty plates at night... But there is enough wine, you may be able to drink enough..."
After Mary joked, she took the plate and walked to the kitchen. She is the chef in the kitchen today, and she will be in charge of the communion tonight.
"Where did the children go?" Li Zitao looked at Dan curiously when he realized that the children hadn't appeared.
"In the heated swimming pool, Farland is there." Dan answered his question.
There is not only one swimming pool on the rooftop in the apartment, but also two other indoor heated swimming pools, which are just for use in cold winter or when the weather is bad.
"I'll go and see, you can go to the activity room or the gym to have some fun." After listening to the stories that should be heard, staying any longer will only be boring and embarrassing.
So, he spent the whole afternoon in the heated swimming pool, reading books, making phone calls, and watching the children laughing and playing.
"Charlie, I finally found you." Just as Li Zitao was enjoying all this with ice wine, his mother-in-law suddenly appeared beside him.
"Please sit down, what's the matter?" Seeing her expression as if she had something to discuss, Li Zitao sat up straight and asked her to sit on the recliner beside her.
"Yes, there is something I want to talk to you about, about the future of AD-B..."
