Chapter 291: Not the FBI, Better Than the FBI
The situation in the country was critical at that time, and Song Huanian was preparing to immigrate to the United States with his wife and children. He had arranged everything, but his daughter Song Jinshu refused to go.
Song Jinshu devoted herself to the revolution and found a like-minded revolutionary partner. How could she have the face to abandon her homeland before the war of resistance ended?
Song Huanian was so angry that he locked his daughter at home. The stubborn Song Jinshu left a letter and left home, and there was no news from him since then.
The Song family waited until the last moment, and Song Huanian reluctantly took his family on a ship to Gangcheng, then went to the United States and settled down in San Francisco.
After the situation stabilized, he tried to ask people about the situation, but all the clues showed that Song Jinshu had died.
His wife had been in poor health, and Song Huanian didn't dare tell her the bad news.
This was his lifelong pain, and his wife missed her long-lost daughter until her death.
Song Huanian thought he would take his regrets and remorse into the coffin, but he didn't expect that one day he would hear news about Song Jinshu from his granddaughter's classmates.
The violent impact made his mind go blank and he couldn't control himself at all.
Song Yunqing had never seen such a scene before. As far as she could remember, Song Huanian had always been elegant and steady, always speaking appropriately and always relaxed.
In a panic, she only remembered one thing, which was to call her father.
Song Heting was confused by what he heard, but his father's out-of-control emotions were enough for him to drop everything and rush back.
For Lu Youyou, it was originally just a simple visit, but after just half a day, all the Song family members who could be present had arrived.
Song Heting, his wife Chu Yan, and his son Song Shaoqing were all there. Only Song Heting's younger brother was unable to come back because he was in Gangcheng.
The old man asked his granddaughter to accompany Lu Youyou and called everyone else to the study.
Song Yunqing was no longer as lively as before, and was completely immersed in the past events that she couldn't tell whether to describe as thrilling or heart-wrenching.
The raging war, family and country feelings, love and hate, separation of family members... every single one of these things can be written into a novel of hundreds of thousands of words.
The young girl, who was not very worldly-wise, had never heard of these things. The whole thing was even more tortuous than a Hollywood blockbuster.
If they weren't roommates, if she didn't go to Reading with him, if Grandpa didn't invite Lu Youyou to the old house, if Lu Youyou didn't notice the photo...
It took so many things to make up today's story, and one can't help but marvel at the magic of fate.
"So you're my... um... cousin?"
Song Yunqing couldn't hide her excitement. No wonder they got along so well, they were basically relatives!
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be."
"So what does my cousin look like? Does he look like my aunt?"
Song Yunqing had never met Song Jinshu before, and their feelings for each other were not very deep, but she was very curious about the sudden appearance of her cousin.
Lu Youyou thought for a moment and said, "They look quite similar, even their eyebrows and eyes are similar."
Song Yunqing took her arm, her eyes brightened: "Cousin, do you have any photos?"
The word "cousin-in-law" made Lu Youyou stunned for a few seconds, and she changed her words too quickly!
"No, he has a special job, so I didn't bring any photos with me."
Song Yunqing obviously didn't expect there to be a reversal, and immediately lowered her voice to the lowest level: "How special? FBI?"
Lu Youyou finally couldn't hold back her laughter and said, "You've watched too many movies!"
Song Yunqing didn't know why she mentioned FBI. She blushed and said embarrassedly, "That's what I mean. China also has confidentiality work, right?"
Lu Youyou chuckled and said, "He is a soldier."
Song Yunqing opened her mouth wide, then immediately covered it with both hands, afraid of making any noise.
Not the FBI, but better than the FBI!
Based on her experience of listening to her grandfather's stories about the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Chinese soldiers and people are always brave and mysterious.
Moreover, just a few years after the Vietnam War, the United States suffered a defeat in Asia!
Song Yunqing felt that she would not be able to digest this story in such a short period of time. It was too tortuous and bizarre, and every chapter exceeded the limits of her imagination.
"I've always wanted to visit Beijing, and now I want to go even more." The little girl was full of longing for her hometown across the ocean. "I guess grandpa will definitely go, and then I'll go with him!"
"Okay, I'll treat you to roast duck then."
“Better than what we had in Chinatown?”
"certainly."
The two chatted easily, and the atmosphere in the study was completely opposite.
Song Heting is a good brother who loves his sister very much. He blamed himself for a long time for not keeping an eye on Song Jinshu.
When he was young, he didn't understand his sister's pursuit, whether it was ideals or love. Now that he understands, his sister is no longer with us.
After hearing the whole story, this man who was decisive in the business world suddenly had tears in his eyes: "Are you saying that Nannan's roommate is Jinshu's daughter-in-law?"
Song Huanian seemed to have not yet come out of his heavy mood, and his voice was very low: "I haven't verified it yet, but I have a hunch that this is true."
"What about my sister's child? Where is he?"
"China."
Song Heting was silent.
China, he hasn't thought about his hometown for a long time. With his sister's life between them, he is even afraid to recall the chaotic days of war.
However, now that he had news about his nephew, he had to go back no matter what.
"Dad, when do you want to leave?"
Song Heting knew his father's decision without asking. Fortunately, his father was in good health and should be able to hold out for the trip.
"Let me think, let me think..."
Song Huanian still had some questions to ask Lu Youyou. Apart from his name, they knew nothing about Gu Qingye.
Because of this sudden accident, Lu Youyou's visit was extended from two days to five days.
Suddenly, they found their mother-in-law's family. They had to tell Gu Qingye about it, and they had to use the embassy's dedicated line to contact him. After hearing about it, Song Huanian directly asked Song Shaoqing to be the driver, and Song Yunqing to be the guest. The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren sent Lu Youyou to the embassy together.
"Youyou, go ahead. Grandpa is waiting for you outside."
Song Huanian never called "Classmate Lu" again the next day. Although his daughter was gone, he still had a grandson and his grandson's wife.
He just wanted to find the shadow of his daughter in Lu Youyou, even though the two were not alike at all and their personalities were very different.
"Thank you for your help."
"Why are you being so polite to Grandpa?"
Zhao Xiang was already waiting at the door. Lu Youyou said yesterday that she wanted to talk to Gu Qingye, and they had already arranged a special line in advance.
Beep, beep, beep——
The sound of an overseas call was different from that in China, and seemed faster, just like her heartbeat which was already over 90.
Transfer, wait, transfer, wait...
After countless transfers, Lu Youyou finally heard that familiar voice.
"Hello, I'm Gu Qingye."
"It's me."
"Yes, I know..."
Gu Qingye's voice suddenly softened. He had a thousand words to say, but in the end, they only turned into one sentence -
"Youyou, are you okay?"
Lu Youyou circled the phone money, round and round, just like the night before she set out, when she lay on Gu Qingye's chest, her fingers tangled around his one-inch-long hair...
