Gu Yahui also noticed that Chen Ruolin had been staring at the banner on the wall. He asked, "Did your grandpa give it to you?"
Chen Ruolin nodded, "Yes."
She ordered the banner.
Mr. Lu boiled a pot of water and poured water for them to drink.
"Grandpa, will you stay here at night?" Gu Yahui asked, looking at the room.
"Yes, I eat at Huifang's place, stay here at night, and sometimes eat at my stupid son's house."
Mr. Lu's face was filled with a satisfied smile, "It's good if the family is in harmony. I have hope for everything. Thanks to Nannan for enlightening me. Otherwise, I would still be stubborn."
Gu Yahui knew that Mr. Lu and Lu Huifang had no contact before, and that the relationship between Lu Hao's stepmother and Lu Hao's stepmother had gradually eased after Gu Nan married her.
His sister always tries her best to do good deeds wherever she goes.
Lu Hao had never mentioned his father to him before. He once thought that Lu Hao was an orphan.
It was not until after he started working that Lu Hao revealed to him that his father had married another man during a drinking and chatting session.
Gu Yahui and Chen Ruolin sat for a while. It was already afternoon. Around five o'clock, if they waited by the highway, the last bus back to the county would pass by.
So the two of them stayed at grandpa's house until almost five o'clock, then said goodbye to Mr. Lu and left.
"Grandpa, let's go back to the county first. You can settle down at home. When we leave, we will come over and let you know in advance."
Mr. Lu was busy looking for bags to put apples in, "Okay, Yahui, I'll get you some apples."
"No, grandpa, we both ate just now. Let's get it when we return to the city."
Gu Yahui had to take care of Chen Ruolin on the road and couldn't spare any time to get things.
"That's okay too."
Mr. Lu took them out of the village and waited for the shuttle bus by the highway. He saw them getting in the car and leaving.
After arriving at the county seat, Gu Yahui took Chen Ruolin to dinner, and the two returned to Longshan Hotel.
Gu Yahui could tell that Chen Ruolin had been in a very low mood since she arrived at Lu Hao's house.
Even now that I'm back, I still can't cheer up.
He asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you tired today? Does your wound feel uncomfortable?"
Gu Yahui looked at Chen Ruolin's expression and felt a little regretful, "You should be kept in bed today."
Taking her outside for too long may have caused the wound to be strained.
Chen Ruolin shook her head, "No, the wound doesn't hurt much after taking painkillers."
She leaned on Gu Yahui's shoulder and said sadly, "I just didn't expect that life in Dr. Lu's hometown would be so difficult."
To be precise, their family's conditions are more difficult than those of other families in the village.
Especially the house she lived in, really, she couldn't describe it.
"When Gu Nan got married, did she also marry into the old house?" Chen Ruolin asked curiously.
She couldn't imagine how a girl as good as Gu Nan could get married in a house that looked like it was before liberation.
Mentioning his sister, Gu Yahui also had a look of distress in his eyes, "Yes, the small room next to the main room is their new house."
I heard that they stayed at Lu Hao's father's house for the first two days of their wedding, but Gu Yahui had never been there and didn't know what the conditions were like there.
Chen Ruolin's face dropped and she said listlessly, "I don't know what's going on. I saw the situation at Dr. Lu's house and I feel very bad now."
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but shed tears at the corners of her eyes.
Gu Yahui wiped her tears for her,
"This is life. I know that you have never suffered hardship since you were a child, and you have never left the city. I don't know how big the gap between the rich and the poor is at the current stage of our country. The main traffic restrictions here make it more backward than other places.
"
Gu Yahui comforted Chen Ruolin like this, but only Chen Ruolin knew that what she lamented was not the hard life in the countryside, but she simply felt sorry for Lu Hao and Gu Nan.
I feel sorry for their rough fate.
"Did Dr. Lu's mother pass away?"
Gu Yahui nodded, "Yes."
When they were drinking that time, he asked Lu Hao about his mother.
Lu Hao said that he had never seen his mother, and she seemed to have died when she gave birth to him.
At that time, Lu Hao's face was particularly ugly when this topic was mentioned, and he never asked again.
This is Lu Hao's pain, and no one dares to expose the scars.
Chen Ruolin said, "Tell me more about Dr. Lu and Gu Nan's situation."
Gu Yahui looked at her suspiciously, "Why are you so interested in them all of a sudden?"
"I just want to hear it."
Gu Yahui thought that Chen Ruolin wanted to integrate into his life circle, so she wanted to get to know the people around him.
"Okay, lie down and rest first, and I'll tell you slowly."
The two were lying on the bed, and Gu Yahui told Chen Ruolin the story of Lu Hao and the others.
Lu Hao is also named Lu, and his mother passed away...
I didn’t go to my uncle’s house either.
The more Chen Ruolin listened, the more she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
Although she also felt that it was extremely nonsense for her to have such an idea.
How could it be such a coincidence?
In the evening, she called home and reported the situation to her grandfather.
Unfortunately, a male voice came from the phone at home.
"Miss Chen?"
When Chen Ruolin heard Sun Cheng's voice, she looked at the hotel door again and her tone became colder, "Why are you at my house?"
How did Sun Cheng find her home and stay there so late at night?
Are you living at home?
Sun Cheng replied, "I just arrived yesterday."
Chen Ruolin asked, "Where is my grandfather?"
"Grandpa Chen is asleep, do you want to wake him up?"
"No."
Chen Ruolin hung up the phone.
Gu Yahui fell asleep, but Chen Ruolin was tossing and turning on the bed next to her, thinking wildly.
After dawn, Gu Yahui saw her staring into a pair of panda eyes and asked in surprise, "What did you do last night?"
"Is the wound so painful that you can't even tell?"
Gu Yahui looked at her with concern and said, "I will change your dressing later to see if there is any infection or broken wound."
Chen Ruolin did not dare to tell Gu Yahui the speculation in her heart, because it was just her intuition.
The person they are looking for also has the surname Lu.
However, there are too many people named Lu in this place.
After Gu Yahui washed up, he planned to change Chen Ruolin's dressing.
He looked at Chen Ruolin who was distracted and said, "Take off your clothes."
"What?" His words successfully made her regain her composure.
Gu Yahui's eyes swept over her body and he repeated what he just said, "Take off your clothes."
"Don't get me wrong, it's just a dressing change."
He looked at Chen Ruolin and said in a joking tone, "Or will this dress be torn by me too?"
What he said made people even more imaginative.
Chen Ruolin looked down at her loose sweater and said, "You go out first."
Gu Yahui put one hand in his pocket and was kicked out.
Chen Ruolin took off her sweater and put on Gu Yahui's shirt, leaving one arm open and her injured shoulder exposed.
After Gu Yahui came in, he looked at her outfit and twitched the corner of his mouth slightly.
He put on disposable gloves, got new gauze and iodine, and changed her dressing.
He looked at the wound on her shoulder with a solemn expression, feeling particularly distressed.
If the knife had pierced himself, it would not hurt him so much.
He changed her medicine and bandaged her with new gauze very gently. Chen Ruolin saw that Gu Yahui, who had always been chirping, suddenly stopped talking. She asked worriedly, "Is my wound okay?"
Gu Yahui looked at her solemnly, grabbed her hand, put it to his lips, and kissed her.
When Chen Ruolin saw him looking at her with such distressed eyes, she asked nervously, "Is there anything wrong with the wound?"
Gu Yahui said, "It's okay."
"It's okay. You go out first and I'll change clothes." Chen Ruolin was already holding her sweater.
"Why didn't you sleep well last night?" Gu Yahui asked worriedly.
"I was thinking about my cousin."
After Chen Ruolin changed her clothes, it was already time to go to work, so she couldn't wait to call the county leader's office.
I hope I can get the address.
Director Yang said he was already in the office and asked them to come over.
