"I'm fine, why are you still sadder than me? Why don't you ask me to comfort you?" Jiang Cheng said cheerfully.
"I didn't expect that after more than ten years of separation, we all have changed so much." Li Chu suddenly felt a little emotional.
"More than ten years is not a short time. Our country has undergone such great changes, let alone us people.
Hey, Xiaochu, you are married, right? Do you have any children?"
A smile appeared on Li Chu's face when he mentioned this: "I have been married a long time ago, and my children are almost two years old, a boy and a girl."
"Good boy, it's up to you. Let me meet my sister-in-law and children sometime."
"I definitely want to see you. You have nothing to do today, right, Brother Cheng?"
"There's nothing to do today. Why, take me to your house today?"
"There's no rush to go to my house. I'll get off work in the afternoon. You can take me to see Lily first."
Jiang Cheng nodded: "No problem, she will definitely be very happy to see you. When she came here just a year ago, she said she wanted to find you. If I hadn't followed Director Liu to meet you that day, we don't know when we would be able to meet."
"I haven't asked you yet, how come you are assigned to recover here, so far away?"
"Well, when I was recovering, the head of our army asked me which unit I wanted to go to. I casually said that I had never seen the capital in my life. As a result, our head directly arranged for me to come over. He and I are now
One of the leaders of the unit is a comrade." Jiang Cheng explained.
Arrangements for rehabilitated soldiers are generally based on where they came from, and such cross-regional arrangements are rare.
When Jiang Cheng first came over and settled down, he also searched to find this young boy. Unfortunately, because Li Chu and Li Qin's files were confidential and his level was not high enough, he was never found.
We met him accidentally that day. His current appearance was still very different from that of his childhood. At that time, Jiang Cheng didn't dare to recognize him.
Later, after returning home, I thought for two days before tentatively asking Director Liu, and then I was sure that the person I met that day was my childhood sweetheart.
There were so many things going on in the past two days that I never had time to go to the hospital. I sent Director Liu here for a meeting today, but Director Liu told him that Li Chu was on duty here today, so he came here.
The two of them chatted happily. They were playmates when they were children. Later, they separated and it was really hard to see each other again.
At noon, Jiang Cheng followed Li Chu to eat in the cafeteria. Director Liu had a day-long meeting today. He had reported to Director Liu that the meeting would be at Li Chu's place, so he was not worried that the leader could not find him.
"Xiao Chu, I didn't expect you to actually become a doctor. It seems that you always remember what you said when you were a child."
After eating, the two of them took a walk under the shade of the trees by the lake. Jiang Cheng suddenly remembered that Li Chu became a doctor.
"It's necessary, as a man, you have to do what you say."
"Then when you were a kid, you said you wanted to marry my sister when you grew up. Why didn't you do it?" Jiang Cheng teased.
Li Chu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Brother Cheng, let's not mention the jokes we made when we were children. How could we know what it meant to have a wife at that time?"
Jiang Cheng glanced at Li Chu with a complicated expression. If his father hadn't taken the whole family to the south due to work reasons, maybe he would have been his brother-in-law, and his sister would not have been so harmed.
But now that the matter has come to this, what's the point of mentioning it again.
"By the way, Brother Cheng, what is Lily doing now after she came to Sijiu City?"
Jiang Cheng smiled bitterly: "What else can I do? Just take care of the child at home. I just came to work and haven't obtained her household registration yet."
"How old is her child?"
"The little girl is already six years old. She can talk very well. She is a good child, but her father is such a scumbag."
Li Chu nodded and said nothing. He planned to go over there after get off work and have a look. If he could help, he would definitely help.
When they returned to the duty room before going to work, Jiang Cheng did not follow him. The two had made an appointment with Li Chu to wait for him at the gate after get off work.
Jiang Cheng had to wait until the leader finished the meeting and sent people back before he could come over.
Li Chu first called the hospital and told his wife that he would be late to go home that night.
After getting off work, he went to the cafeteria to buy some food to take with him, otherwise he would have eaten without following Jiang Cheng.
After waiting at the door for less than half an hour, Jiang Cheng ran over.
Li Chu asked Jiang Cheng to ride on the car and take him to the rented house.
You can ride a bicycle at most in the alley, and there are simple houses built with wooden boards everywhere, which look messy.
There are even many places where cooking is done in the aisle, blocking your way.
I wandered around in this maze-like narrow passage for a long time.
"Brother Cheng, haven't you arrived yet?"
"We'll be there soon. Just turn the corner and we'll be there."
"Oh my god, if I were to come here alone, I wouldn't be able to find a place even if I died."
"It's good to be able to rent this place. If it weren't for the help of my colleagues in the bureau, I wouldn't be able to rent a house at all."
It is indeed difficult to rent a house at the moment. The key is where to buy it. If you don’t have enough room to live in your own home, how can you possibly rent it out?
Let alone the neighborhood committee, there are countless people queuing up there waiting for housing.
Finally, we reached the turning point Jiang Cheng mentioned. As soon as we turned the corner, we heard a little girl's voice shouting: "Uncle, you are finally back. My daughter is very hungry."
"Hey, uncle, where did you get your bicycle?"
Li Chu looked up and saw a little girl running to Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng said that his niece was six years old, but the little girl in front of him was so thin that she really didn't look like she was six years old.
But the pair of braids on her head and the girl's appearance seemed to take Li Chu back to his childhood.
Jiang Cheng leaned the car against the wall, squatted down, picked up the little girl, and turned around: "Nanny, this is my uncle's friend. You have to call him uncle."
The little girl looked at Li Chu timidly, hesitated for a moment, and then called out: "Hello, uncle! My name is Nannan, and I am six years old this year." The soft and soft voice made Li Chu's heart melt.
He walked up to me with a smile, took out a few pieces of candy from his pocket and handed them over: "Nanny is so good, come on, take these pieces of candy."
Nannan glanced at the candy in Li Chu's hand, then turned to look at her uncle. When her uncle nodded, she happily took it: "Thank you, uncle."
"You're welcome!"
"Nanny, has your uncle come back?" At this time, a female voice came.
"Mom, I'm back, and my uncle brought a little uncle with him."
Nannan struggled to get down from Jiang Cheng's arms to the ground and ran home.
"Let's go into the house. Don't tell Lily your name later and see if she can still recognize you."
