Their guesthouse is in a great location. The room is on the third floor, the tallest building around. When you open the window, you can see a building with a lot of history - a courtyard house.
The vast area was divided into small square grids. In the small courtyard in the middle, every household planted a tree, some were willow trees, some were persimmon trees. No matter what kind of tree it was, it was lush and green in midsummer.
Compared to the hustle and bustle of traffic on the main roads, the courtyards are full of the bustling atmosphere of life.
In addition, there is another reason why Chu Yue appreciates it so much, that is - it is expensive!
Siheyuan houses are rarely sold on the market these days. In a few decades, they will be so expensive that you won’t be able to buy them even if you want.
Chu Yue had never seen such a sight in her life, and couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so beautiful~"
Lu Zhanlin came in with a thermos and just heard what Chu Yue said. He walked over to her and stood beside her, looking at the scenery outside the window together.
He whispered, "Do you like it here?"
Chu Yue nodded, "Of course I like it, this is the capital."
Lu Zhanlin asked again, "Do you want to stay?"
Chu Yue turned her head, glanced at Lu Zhanlin, smiled, and then shook her head openly.
"I don't want to stay. Life here is too tiring," Chu Yue complained, still carrying the resentment of being a slave in a concrete city in her past life. "Our own home is still the best, nestled between mountains and rivers. The pharmaceutical factory and herb farm that Pei Hanchuan and I are collaborating on are almost complete. I'm even thinking of going up the mountain to be a herb farmer."
When mentioning Yaoshan, Lu Zhanlin saw genuine joy between Chu Yue's eyebrows.
He silently felt relieved.
If Chu Yue really said that she liked to stay in the capital, Lu Zhanlin would be willing to change his mind and stay for Chu Yue.
But this is the best way now. He and Chu Yue have the same idea that their home is the best.
Seeing that they were all looking at the window, Lu Yuanbao walked over and stood on tiptoe to look outside.
Seeing this, Lu Zhanlin simply picked up Lu Yuanbao, and the three of them stood at the high window, looking out at the scenery outside.
They spent the morning making some adjustments in the guesthouse.
Lu Zhanlin asked Chu Yue if she wanted to rest in the guesthouse for a day. If she didn’t want to go to Li Changmin’s invitation in the evening, she didn’t have to go. He could go alone.
Chu Yue and Lu Yuanbao both recovered quickly, and Chu Yue was still thinking about another thing.
"Zhan Lin, there's also this." Chu Yue took out the envelope given by Commander He and said, "We don't have much time left in the capital. Let's take care of this first, and then we can have fun with Yuanbao in peace."
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Lu Zhanlin agreed, and during lunch, he asked the people at the guesthouse about the address on the envelope and how to get there.
When the comrades at the guesthouse saw the address and saw Lu Zhanlin in his military uniform, they immediately said, "Comrade, are you going to meet some old leader? The people living in this Jiefang compound are all veteran generals who have served on the battlefield. This place is not far from here. You can go out from here, and then..."
Lu Zhanlin frowned after hearing this, and felt a little strange in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud.
It’s said to be not far, but it actually takes half an hour by car.
Even with such a distance, they didn't leave the most bustling urban area. As expected, it was the capital, and the city area was surprisingly large.
During this period, Lu Yuanbao changed very quickly. After the initial surprise, no matter how curious he was about the unfamiliar sight, he no longer stretched his neck to look, but observed silently and quietly.
The little child quickly realized that doing so was somewhat embarrassing.
He followed Chu Yue and Lu Zhanlin quietly, as calm as a little adult.
It took them some time but they finally found the detention center.
It was an area of houses that was completely different from the Siheyuan buildings. Every household lived in a two-story villa, which felt a bit like a villa area, but was located near the city center.
There is a sentry box outside the door.
Lu Zhanlin asked Chu Yue and Lu Yuanbao to stand in the shade. He took his ID and the letter of introduction written by Commander He and went to communicate with the people in the sentry booth.
It was the hottest time of the day, and Chu Yue and Lu Yuanbao's faces were sunburned. Each of them held a salt water popsicle in their hands and ate it to cool down.
At this moment, Chu Yue felt that the capital was not that good. If it were in the southwest, it would not be so hot at all.
Even the salt water popsicles tasted bad, they melted very quickly and I could only slurp them.
"Eat quickly, it's about to drip." Chu Yue reminded Lu Yuanbao.
Lu Yuanbao lowered his head and tried to slurp the melted popsicle. At this moment, a voice was heard.
"Yuanbao! --Yuanbao! --Ah! Lu Yuanbao, it really is you!"
Following the familiar voice and a series of footsteps, a figure in a pink dress rushed in front of Lu Yuanbao and Chu Yue.
Lu Yuanbao paused while eating his popsicle and blinked in surprise, "...Tan Rourou?"
Tan Rourou wore a high ponytail, a sleeveless dress, and a pair of shiny plastic sandals. Her face was so white that it glowed in the sun.
The beautiful little girl blends harmoniously into the surrounding environment.
Lu Yuanbao asked in surprise, "Why...are you here?"
Tan Rourou rolled her eyes, looked Lu Yuanbao up and down, raised her chin and said, "This is my home, of course I'm here!"
"Your house...?"
"Yes, my grandparents' house is also my home. What's wrong with that?" Little Tan Rourou said very seriously, "I haven't asked you yet, why are you here? My mom said you were traveling in the capital, so why did you come to my house? Are you here to play with me?"
Those beautiful big eyes were full of anticipation.
Lu Yuanbao shook his head. "No, my mother said someone here needs medical treatment, so we came here."
"So you're treating patients..."
Tan Rourou felt a little disappointed, but she still felt very happy when she saw Lu Yuanbao.
When Chu Yue first saw Tan Rourou, she was also a little surprised. After all, the person she thought was thousands of miles away suddenly appeared in front of her.
But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.
And after Tan Rourou appears, another person will soon appear.
Fang Xiuli said to the soldier at the sentry post, "They are guests of my home."
In a word, no documents or letters of introduction were needed. He directly led Chu Yue and Lu Zhanlin into the compound and then into their home.
In the room, a large electric fan was spinning, and cool breeze blew over.
"You guys can sit wherever you like, you're welcome... Aunt Zhang, take out the soda from the refrigerator, and make it a little colder... Did you buy watermelon this morning? Cut it up and bring it out..."
