Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Guest House
Shu Niannian didn't expect to meet Ye Jinhong in this situation.
Snow flakes fell down, she put her hands in her sleeves and hunched her head like a quail. She could feel that her nose must have been frozen red, her pigtails were messed up by being rubbed on the train, and there were a lot of flaws in her appearance. In short, it did not quite meet her expectations.
Ye Jinhong helped her a lot in her previous life, and her worst and most embarrassing side was seen by Ye Jinhong. Facing this lifesaver in her previous life, Shu Niannian had nothing to hide, but at this time she had not experienced those bad things, and everything was as if they were the first time. Shu Niannian always wanted to show the best image.
I remember that she had just escaped from a nightmare marriage, her family was gone, and she had no motivation to live. She sat alone in the old house, sleepless, without eating or drinking, waiting for death to come.
Just when she was dying, Ye Jinhong found her and told her that her second brother might still be alive. After the tractor knocked Shu Guoqiang into the river, Shu Guoqiang's body was never found. The ironclad evidence of death is that the body must be found. Since Shu Guoqiang's body has not been found, it cannot be determined that he is dead.
"Maybe he has another adventure."
Ye Jinhong said nothing, and only used the two words "adventure" to pull Shu Niannian out of the abyss of despair. After that, he spent money and effort to move Shu Niannian's household registration to Haicheng, and gave her start-up capital so that she could do what she wanted.
He is a very reliable and trustworthy elder.
In her previous life, the Ye Jinhong she met had a stern face, was mature and steady, and was always dressed appropriately and elegantly, with a dignified demeanor. But at this moment, the younger Ye Jinhong was wearing a camouflage combat uniform with a belt of the same color tied around his waist, which made him look taller, with longer legs, broad shoulders and a narrow waist. Although his face was still stern, he was more energetic at this moment.
Unlike in the previous life, it was like living in a suit.
Shu Niannian followed Shu Chengzu with her hands behind her back, praying that Ye Jinhong didn't notice her. After all, in her impression, Ye Jinhong was not a person who was keen on visiting relatives. In her previous life, she had only met Ye Jinhong when she was a child. Later, as she grew up, she never saw Ye Jinhong again until she divorced, when Ye Jinhong suddenly appeared again.
However, Shu Niannian's prayers were in vain. When Shu Niannian saw Ye Jinhong, Ye Jinhong also saw her. And it seemed that Ye Jinhong had no intention of pretending not to know her, because he had turned around and walked towards Shu Niannian.
Shu Niannian felt a little embarrassed for a moment. She looked like a quail now, and it was really not suitable for her to meet "relatives".
He is also a relative whom you have to bow your head and call "uncle" every time you meet him.
That’s right, Ye Jinhong is Lu Jianjun’s uncle.
And her current identity is Lu Jianjun's fiancée. Although she has made up her mind not to marry Lu Jianjun in this life, she has to follow the proper etiquette before breaking off the engagement.
Shu Chengzu also saw Ye Jinhong. He smiled and nodded at Ye Jinhong. Ye Jinhong came over to greet him. After the two exchanged some polite words, they both cast their eyes on Shu Niannian. Shu Niannian wanted to hide behind Shu Chengzu and pretend to be dead, but she couldn't do it anymore. She could only bite the bullet and greet Ye Jinhong, "I didn't expect to meet my uncle here. Is he waiting for someone?"
It's no wonder Shu Niannian asked this question. Seeing that Ye Jinhong ran to the train station in a camouflage training suit, he must be here to pick someone up, and time was particularly tight.
"Yes, pick someone up."
He has always been a man of few words, so it was good enough that he could answer with four words instead of just "hmm".
Shu Niannian didn't expect him to explain, "My good brother was injured during training, so I came here temporarily to help him pick up his wife and his son to go to the military camp."
Shu Niannian stared at Ye Jinhong in surprise with her big round eyes. Ye Jinhong looked away, asked the guard to help Shu Niannian and Shu Chengzu open the umbrella, and handed Shu Niannian a hot hand warmer.
"Why is there a hand warmer?"
"My brother said his wife is afraid of the cold, so he asked me to bring a few more."
Shu Niannian was about to say thank you when a familiar female voice came from not far away, "Jinhong, I didn't expect you to be here too. Have you seen my old Zhang?"
Shu Niannian turned around, and unexpectedly it was the young woman on the train.
The young woman was also shocked when she saw Shu Niannian, but she was more surprised. She looked at Shu Niannian, then at Ye Jinhong. When she was wondering about their relationship, Ye Jinhong took the initiative to introduce, "Shu Niannian, my niece's wife."
The young woman looked at Shu Niannian with gratitude and told Ye Jinhong what happened on the train. Ye Jinhong glanced at the child in the young woman's arms and immediately told the guard beside him to drive the car. "Zhang Shibo has something to do and can't leave, so he asked me to come and pick you up."
The young woman hurriedly asked what happened, but Ye Jinhong did not answer immediately. Instead, he asked the young woman to get in the car first. The young woman knew that there were many rules in the army, so she did not continue to ask. She just came over and shook hands with Shu Niannian before getting in the car, "Thank you for today. I was thinking that it might take some effort to find you, but I didn't expect that you are Jinhong's niece-in-law." Then she turned to Ye Jinhong and said, "I must let Niannian stay for a few more days this time. When my son's condition stabilizes, I will come to thank you."
Shu Niannian waved her hands quickly: No, no! It’s just a piece of cake!
Ye Jinhong: That’s natural.
The young woman chuckled and shook Shu Niannian's hand again, "My name is Li Ruyu."
The situation was urgent, so Ye Jinhong asked the guard to stay and help Shu Chengzu carry the bag, while he himself went to the driver's seat to drive.
After the combat jeep drove away, Shu Niannian looked solemnly in the direction where the taillights disappeared.
She remembered that in her previous life, Ye Jinhong told her by chance that Li Ruyu and Zhang Shibo's first child died of a high fever before he was one year old. After that, Li Ruyu and Zhang Shibo had two more children, but they also died before they were one year old.
The high fever was also incurable.
Zhang Shibo was the only son in three generations. Li Ruyu could not raise the child, and Zhang Shibo's mother insisted that Zhang Shibo divorce Li Ruyu. After the divorce, Li Ruyu attempted suicide and became mentally ill. She has been in a nursing home for many years. One time, Zhang Shibo slept in the same bed with the nanny after getting drunk. Later, the nanny found Zhang's mother with an ultrasound report showing that she was three months pregnant, and married Zhang Shibo with the help of Zhang's mother.
Shu Niannian frowned tightly. In her opinion, although Li Ruyu's child's fever seemed serious, it was actually not a big deal and would recover in about three days. The child looked strong and healthy and did not look sickly. How could he die before he was one year old?
Is there some other hidden secret here?
Just when Shu Nian Nian was lost in thought, the dark-faced and loud-voiced guard left behind by Ye Jinhong started arguing with her grandfather Shu Chengzu, "No, our commander told me to take you to the Red Star Guesthouse before he left, and you have to go with me. You have to go today whether you want to or not!"
Ye Chengzu didn't expect that this black-faced guard was such a stubborn person. He yelled angrily, "Hey!" and cursed, "You are such a fool!"
The guard Geng Geng said disdainfully: Our commander also said so!
He had a very loud and penetrating voice. In just a few words, he had attracted the attention of the crowd. If it hadn't been snowing heavily, people would have already formed a circle around them, waiting to watch the show.
Shu Niannian didn't want to be the focus of the train station at all. She tugged at the corner of Shu Chengzu's clothes and whispered, "Let's go, Grandpa. Uncle Jinhong is also kind-hearted. We may not be able to find a suitable guesthouse if we go find one ourselves."
Shu Chengzu took a deep breath, and he really couldn't persuade the black-faced guard, so he had to go with him. Originally, he was a little resentful of Ye Jinhong for acting on his own. It was not like he, an old man, was short of money to stay in a guesthouse. Did he need Ye Jinhong to arrange it?
But after arriving at the guesthouse, and watching the comrades at the front desk reject one after another of the travelers who were shivering with bags, I realized how thoughtful Ye Jinhong was.
"Sorry, the guesthouse is full. Please look somewhere else!" The front desk receptionist politely but coldly refused.
"All other guesthouses were full, otherwise we wouldn't have spent a lot of money to stay at the Red Star Guesthouse. Who knew that even the most expensive Red Star Guesthouse was full."
“We can add money!”
Receptionist: Even if you pay more, it’s not possible!
After the traveler pestered for a while, he left trembling.
The black-faced guard went to check in with a haughty look on his face. The receptionist had been notified in advance and had reserved a good room for him. He only needed to say hello and move in with his luggage.
When the receptionist gave the security guard the key, he also reminded him, "According to the latest forecast, there will be heavy snow in the next three days. Unless there are special circumstances, it is best not to go out at night."
The black-faced guard nodded and said thank you, took the key, and led Shu Chengzu and Shu Niannian to the third floor.
Ye Jinhong booked them a large suite with two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom. There was a separate kitchenette and bathroom, and there was even a flush toilet in the bathroom. Shu Niannian couldn't help but sigh at Ye Jinhong's generosity. As far as she knew, in Haicheng today, a suite of this size could not be afforded by just money.
The room was heated to the utmost. Shu Niannian was so hot that she tore off the scarf around her neck not long after she entered. She asked Shu Chengzu about his next itinerary. Shu Chengzu looked at the heavy snow outside the window and said, "Since we are here, we should make the best of it. Let's talk about everything after the snow stops."
Shu Niannian was not in a hurry. She took English materials with her and did not go out. She continued to do English questions in the guesthouse. After an unknown amount of time, there was a knock on the door. Shu Niannian put down the English materials and went to open the door. She thought it was the waiter coming to check the room, but who knew that it was Li Ruyu standing at the door?
She was holding a food box in her left hand and a fruit basket in her right hand.
Shu Niannian was stunned for a moment, but Li Ruyu was not embarrassed at all. She was warm and generous, and said very familiarly: "Niannian, you and I hit it off right away. I want to make friends with you and hire you as my personal doctor. Do you think it's okay?"
