Chapter 84 The Call
"lead?"
Mr. Gu was taken aback for a moment, then realized that the person being referred to was Director Ding from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He nodded and said, "Yan Xiao went up the mountain to chop firewood, and Xiang Wan should be busy at the village committee building the school."
"I'll go find my Brother Gu right now."
Tong Aiguo knew that winter was approaching and every household was busy preparing firewood for the winter. He immediately left with this remark and ran towards the back mountain.
Su Xiangwan didn't expect that Vivian and the others would come back so soon.
When they returned to the courtyard with Gu Yanxiao, they saw Ding Yaping and Gu's father sitting there, chatting about something.
After seeing Su Xiangwan and the others enter, Ding Yaping looked at her with a somewhat complicated expression.
Before Su Xiangwan could decipher the meaning in Ding Yaping's gaze, Vivian approached her: "Su, I've contacted the expert you asked me to find, but..."
"But what?" Su Xiangwan's heart tightened. Could it be that something had gone wrong?
"However, the professor is too old to travel long distances, so we plan to have his student come instead."
At this point, Vivian looked at Su Xiangwan with a somewhat complicated expression: "Guess who his student is?"
Who is it?
Su Xiangwan met Vivian's gaze, somewhat bewildered. The professor's student, and she was asked to guess her identity? Could it be that she knew her?
The thought flashed through her mind, and Su Xiangwan's heart skipped a beat. She asked, "Could it be someone I know?"
“That’s right! It’s someone you know! This person is your second brother, Su Xiangbei,” Vivian nodded and said.
"Second brother? It's actually my second brother?"
Su Xiangwan spoke in disbelief, her eyes reddening. Just this one name was enough to unleash the emotions hidden deep within her blood.
My second brother, Su Xiangbei, used to love medicine and was a medical student.
To her surprise, he did not give up his ambition after going abroad, and even became a student of a professor in this field.
However, given his status, if he were to return...
Seemingly sensing her concerns, Ding Yaping said, "Su Xiangwan, you don't need to worry about whether your second brother will have any trouble because of his identity when he comes back. This time, he is coming back as Professor Max's student and a surgical expert to give lectures at a hospital in Beijing."
Upon hearing this, Su Xiangwan's eyes widened in surprise.
Her second brother gave a lecture at a hospital in Beijing?
She can see her family!
"When will my second brother arrive?"
Su Xiangwan herself didn't realize that her voice was trembling slightly.
Gu Yanxiao stepped forward, gently put his arm around her shoulder, and looked at her with heartache.
His wife has been the apple of the Su family's eye since she was a child.
If she hadn't married him, how could she have suddenly been separated from her family for so long?
"The US is already preparing the travel list and itinerary. If all goes well, they should arrive in Beijing next month."
next month?
Su Xiangwan excitedly turned to look at Gu Yanxiao and said, "Yanxiao, I will be able to see my second brother next month. He will be the one to perform your surgery. He is really amazing."
This is truly an unexpected delight. Who would have thought that my second brother would become a professor's student after going to America?
Seeing the joy on her face, Gu Yanxiao was also filled with happiness. He turned to Ding Yaping and asked, "Director Ding, about our trip to Beijing..."
"I will arrange for someone to handle this matter. There will be no problem with your procedures for entering Beijing."
Ding Yaping suggested that it would be much faster for him to handle these matters.
With his words, Gu Yanxiao and the others felt relieved.
Vivian and her group did not stay long this time before leaving.
After seeing them off, Gu's father said to Gu Yanxiao and the others, "Director Ding already knows about the school construction. He said that he will remember this credit for Xiangwan for now, and then clear Su Xiangwan's name once the situation becomes clear."
Although Su Xiangwan is now a person of merit, she no longer needs to worry about anyone using her status as a capitalist's daughter to make a fuss.
But the money to build the school is not a small amount. If this gets out now, some unscrupulous people might try to smear her because they want her money.
Therefore, in order to protect Su Xiangwan, Ding Yaping temporarily assumed the good name of building the school, and would later give her credit for her contributions.
Ding Yaping's appearance today has also dispelled the thoughts of some people who originally intended to use shady means to win a school teaching job.
This saved Su Xiangwan a lot of trouble.
Su Xiangwan had no time to think about anything else at this moment; she was simply looking at the note in her hand, her heart pounding with excitement.
That was a phone number Vivian left behind when she left; it was Su Xiangbei's office number.
Just as Su Xiangwan was about to say something, she saw that Tong Aiguo had already brought the bicycle over.
"Brother Gu, sister-in-law, the car has been delivered to you."
Tong Aiguo no longer needs to ask his father to pick up his bicycle.
Anyway, it makes no difference whether the Gu family needs it or I need it.
On the way to town, Su Xiangwan said, "Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative later and see if they have any bicycles!"
Although she had a bicycle in her space, its style and material were completely different from bicycles of this era, so she couldn't take it out to use.
Besides, she has plenty of money and bicycle tickets, so since she's going to need them anyway, she might as well just buy one!
"good."
Gu Yanxiao agreed. Anyway, all his money was with her, so she could buy whatever she wanted.
Before long, the two arrived at the post office, and Su Xiangwan dialed the number that she had only just received but already memorized.
The phone was answered after only two rings, and a voice, both unfamiliar and familiar, asked with a slight tremor, "...Is this your little sister?"
Even through the phone line, Su Xiangwan could still sense her second brother's nervousness.
The emotions she had just suppressed surged up again: "Second brother, it's me, second brother, are you... are you all alright?"
"Little sister! Dad! Mom! Big brother! It really is little sister!"
A sudden commotion came from the other end of the phone, as if someone was trying to grab the microphone.
Then, a calm male voice came through: "Turn on speakerphone, quick, turn on speakerphone..."
As these words were spoken, the sounds of looting finally subsided.
First came a sob, then Feng Qinshu's voice: "Wanwan, Wanwan, it's Mommy, Wanwan, are you alright? Have you been wronged?"
"Mom, I'm fine. I haven't been wronged. Yan Xiao and my family are all very kind to me. They're all protecting me." Su Xiangwan reassured her family immediately.
