Chapter 410 Visiting the Qiu Family
It was an ultimate feast for the couple and it didn’t last until the early morning.
Lin Siqiao was so tired that apart from breathing instinctively, he didn't even have the strength to raise his hands.
In the end, she could only collapse limply in Lu Jianchuan's arms, allowing him to help her clean her body.
A second before his consciousness became chaotic, Lin Siqiao finally understood what it meant to be "a short separation is better than a new marriage".
Fortunately, she told him about tomorrow's plans in advance, otherwise a man who has had sex would not be so easy to talk to.
I opened and closed my eyes and woke up at about eight o'clock the next morning.
Looking at the person with a satisfied and refreshed face and the prepared breakfast, Lin Siqiao sighed helplessly. She was tired of saying the word "envy".
After finishing the meal, Lin Siqiao called Uncle Qiu first. When he learned that the young couple would be coming over later, Uncle Qiu was overjoyed. As soon as he hung up the phone, he discussed today's lunch with Mother Qiu.
After several children heard the news, they put down what they were doing and ran over to help.
While the family was busy, Lin Siqiao started to clean up.
It was her first official visit, so she couldn’t go empty-handed. So when she went out to the mall a few days ago to check out the store, she bought the right gift when she saw one.
Uncle Qiu has three children, two sons and one daughter. She prepared a complete set of train models for the boys and a half-meter-tall teddy bear doll for the girl.
In addition to these, Lin Siqiao also prepared red wine, tea and some butter cookies.
Lu Jianchuan quickly assembled the disassembled guns together. When everything was almost packed up, the two went to the apartment next door.
This time they will be away for two days. Based on Lu Jianchuan's understanding of these comrades, if he doesn't inform them, these people might not even be able to sleep well at night.
But before he could even open his mouth, the people sitting there were already rubbing their hands in excitement.
"Captain, do you have a mission? What time do we set off?"
The person who spoke was Lu Jianchuan's deputy Zhang Qi. Just now, they were sitting together and whispering, saying that they felt a little guilty about receiving the bonus for this mission.
Why?
Because ever since they took on the task of protecting Lin Siqiao, they have been either watching TV in the apartment or basking in the sun on the lawn outside every day.
They have been in the army for so long, but this is the first time they have received such an easy mission.
In Zhang Qi's words, he now can't tell whether the organization has sent them on a mission this time? Let them enjoy themselves.
Seeing that these people had started to pack up their things, Lu Jianchuan hurriedly stopped them.
"It's not a mission. Your sister-in-law and I are going to visit an elder in the nearby city. We will be back the day after tomorrow afternoon at the latest."
"You guys should take a good rest during the days we are away."
Then he handed Uncle Qiu's phone number to Zhang Qi and said, "I'll leave these people to you. Contact me anytime if you need anything."
"Yes! Captain, sister-in-law, please be careful on the road."
"Got it, you too."
After explaining everything that needed to be said, the two of them didn't waste any time and quickly found a car rental company.
Uncle Qiu and his family live in the suburbs of Anaheim, Orange County, near Los Angeles. It takes about an hour and a half to drive from here.
Considering the road conditions there, Lin Siqiao specially rented an off-road vehicle.
It was already 11 o'clock in the morning when we arrived in Anaheim. Although it is a suburb, at a glance, almost all the houses are large flat-style villas. Both the architecture and decoration are much more upscale than those in the city.
Uncle Qiu's family is no exception. They bought a single-family villa with five bedrooms and three living rooms. The house has an irregular geometric shape.
There is a large lawn in front and back, and the decoration style is also typical American country style.
"Si Qiao, please take a seat. This is your home."
Mother Qiu poured each of them a cup of jasmine tea. After their hasty farewell at the airport last time, she only knew that the person next to Lin Siqiao was her lover, but she really didn't know his name.
Seeing this, Lu Jianchuan quickly took the teacup and said, "Aunt Qiu, just call me Jianchuan."
"Okay, okay, Jianchuan, you sit down too."
After she finished speaking, Mother Qiu took out two red envelopes from her pocket.
"Good boy, this is your first time coming to my house. This is a gift from your uncle Qiu and I. You must accept it."
Generally, only very close people will give a red envelope to the newlyweds.
Lin Siqiao knew that Uncle Qiu and Aunt Qiu did not treat them as outsiders, so she did not refuse on this matter.
While expressing his gratitude, Lin Siqiao also took out the gift he had prepared and waved to Qiu Mingze to come over.
"Xiao Ze, this one is for you. The other two are for your younger brothers and sisters. Please help divide them among them."
Qiu Mingze was stunned and subconsciously looked at his father.
Only after Father Qiu nodded did he take it with joy.
"Thank you, sister!"
Qiu Mingze walked out of the room with a smile, but Lin Siqiao stared at his back in a daze for a long time.
She still remembered the first time she met Mingze, when his height was just above her chin.
He was thin and frail, with a stubborn and alert look in his eyes.
Now, more than a year has passed. He has grown taller and fatter, but the only thing that has not changed is the way he looks at people.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but Lin Siqiao always felt that Mingze looked at people with a hint of sadness in his eyes.
In other words, he is not happy now.
Judging from Uncle Qiu and Aunt Qiu’s reactions, they should have discovered it a long time ago.
Sure enough, before Lin Siqiao could speak, Father Qiu sighed deeply.
In fact, they had discovered that something was wrong with their son a long time ago, and that was the reason why they stayed in Hong Kong before.
However, they took their child to see doctors all over Hong Kong, but no one could find out what was wrong with him.
It wasn't until they came to China that they saw a famous psychologist introduced by a friend.
The other party concluded that Qiu Mingze suffered from severe "(depressive reaction)".
"I am sorry to Mingze. He suffered a lot during those years. He was afraid that we would worry, so he never told us when he was wronged. He just swallowed it secretly."
Speaking of Father Qiu, he blamed himself endlessly. If it weren't for his poor health, Mingze wouldn't have to shoulder the entire Qiu family at such a young age.
He thought all the suffering was over, but he didn't expect that the past would leave an indelible scar on his son.
When Mother Qiu heard this, she choked up and said, "Xiao Ze, he is so well behaved. I have never seen a child better behaved than him. He is the one who takes medicine and gets injections every day, but he still smiles and comforts us."
Lin Siqiao wanted to comfort them, but didn't know where to start.
Dilar also suffers from depression, but Ozawa's condition is obviously much more serious than hers.
Lin Siqiao was not sure whether Dean Zhang's combination of Chinese and Western medicine would be effective on Xiaoze.
But at this point, no matter if it works or not, we have to give it a try.
Fortunately, Dilar spent a huge amount of money to bring Dean Zhang with him when he returned to China this time.
Thinking of this, Lin Siqiao told them about the situation.
Upon learning that their son still had hope of recovery, Mr. and Mrs. Qiu burst into tears of joy and hurriedly stood up and bowed to Lin Siqiao.
"Si Qiao, we really don't know what to say. Thank you so much."
"You are not only our family's benefactor, but also our family's benefactor."
Lin Siqiao was most afraid of facing this kind of situation. "Uncle Qiu and Aunt Qiu, please don't do this. I am the younger generation. If you act like this, I... I really can't stand it."
Then he gave Lu Jianchuan a look and said, "Help me pull them away."
Just as a few people were being polite, another group of people suddenly came outside the door.
