Chapter 218: Clearing the relationship
Upon hearing this, Grandma Lin immediately grabbed Gu Zhenqi's hand with heartache:
"It's a pity for you! What happened? Shouldn't the unconscious person be sent to the military hospital? How come you can't see him?"
Then he looked at Mr. Su:
"Old Su, Xiao Gu is your savior. What is going on? You need to help her figure it out."
This was the first time in nearly fifty years of marriage between Grandma Lin and Grandpa Su that Grandma Lin asked him to use his connections.
She knew her limits very well, and she understood his temperament and character even better. She knew that he was an upright, selfless man who devoted himself wholeheartedly to the country!
He never engaged in officialdom. Even their descendants and other family members obtained their positions through their own abilities. He often said:
"I will always be a soldier of the people. No matter what position I sit on or how much power I hold, I will use it to serve the people, not to seek personal gain or to open the door to convenience for my family, relatives, and friends."
He used this as a mark of himself and also educated his children with this creed.
Grandma Lin likes Gu Zhenqi from the bottom of her heart. She doesn’t know why, but she feels that she can understand this child.
Gu Zhenqi is calm and resolute beyond her age. She is neither arrogant nor impatient, and she knows when to act.
Thinking that she had just brought her family to Kyoto, and her man had fallen into a coma while performing a mission, and they couldn't see each other?
She had just arrived in Kyoto and was definitely unfamiliar with the place and had no connections. Yet she was able to come to their house for help. I wonder what kind of ideological struggle she had to go through?
The pity in his eyes when he looked at Gu Zhenqi deepened a little.
I have to say that Grandma Lin is indeed a person with rich life experience, and she really sees Gu Zhenqi very clearly.
She was not the kind of person who would force others to do things against their will. Seeing that Mr. Su had a frown on his face and looked gloomy, she immediately said, "Mr. Su, I really am..."
"Xiao Gu, don't worry, leave the small matters to me. Leave the phone for me later, and I'll call you when I've made arrangements!"
Old Master Su interrupted Gu Zhenqi's words directly. He really couldn't bear to see his savior looking so gloomy.
Gu Zhenqi immediately stood up and bowed deeply to Grandpa Su. She was not a fragile person, but at this moment her eyes were red with gratitude!
God knows, God knows, Chen Kuo lost contact again. When she heard from Huang Da that he was in a coma and might not wake up, she was so panicked and helpless. It was a feeling she had never experienced before!
It turned out that without her realizing it, Chen Kuo had become an inseparable part of her life. She was very afraid that he would never wake up again as Huang Da said?
At this moment, Mr. Su's words were like a soothing agent, calming her anxious heart:
"Thank you, thank you so much!"
She really couldn't find any other words except thank you to express her feelings at the moment.
No one can understand the feeling of suddenly having a hand extended to you when you are lost and helpless.
Grandma Lin lovingly pulled her back to sit on the sofa and said with a smile:
"Silly child, why are you bowing while you are talking? Don't worry, leave it to Old Su, you will be able to see your lover soon!"
Observing her condition again, I found that her eyes were dark blue and she looked a little haggard:
"You, don't wear yourself down. Don't forget that you still have two little cubs waiting for you to take care of them. Your health is the foundation of everything!"
Gu Zhenqi was greatly touched by Grandma Lin's comfort. It was great to meet an elder who could comfort her when she was in a bad situation!
"Thank you, Grandma Lin. I won't let anything happen to me."
He turned his gaze towards Mr. Su and said gratefully, "Thank you for your help. I will do my best to help you in any way I can in the future."
"Haha." Mr. Su smiled and took a sip of tea, then smiled again:
"I never knew that Xiao Gu still had such a sense of chivalry. If she were to join the army, she would definitely be a heroine!"
Gu Zhenqi felt quite embarrassed by his sudden compliment.
Seeing her embarrassment, Mr. Su restrained the smile on his face, became very serious, and asked Gu Zhenqi for some information about Chen Kuo so that he could help her find Chen Kuo as soon as possible.
When he asked her this, she suddenly felt a little ashamed. As a wife who had been married for more than three years, she knew very little about her husband's work and only recounted what she knew.
We talked for about half an hour.
Gu Zhenqi was about to leave, and Grandma Lin gave the servants a look. Soon, two servants came out with a few handbags in their hands. Grandma Lin handed them to her:
"Don't refuse. These were all mailed back to us two old people by other family members. You see, we only have two mouths to feed, how can we eat so much? It's a good thing that you're here, so to prevent the food from spoiling, you can help us share some of the burden."
Gu Zhenqi was about to politely refuse, but she was choked on her words.
Grandma Lin interpreted the two seconds of her hesitation as her being too embarrassed to take it, so she stuffed it into her hand directly:
"You can't refuse a gift from an elder. Take it and remember to come to our house often!"
Mr. Su was still not satisfied with discussing the flowers and plants with her today, so he took over the conversation and said:
"Come often, come again next time, I have new flowers!"
Well, there was no way to refuse, Gu Zhenqi had to accept it, and secretly decided in his heart that next time he visited, he would bring some more things that the two old people would like.
Reciprocity!
"Yes, I will. Then Grandma Lin, Grandpa Su, you two must take care of yourselves. I'll take my leave now."
Gu Zhenqi said politely.
Grandpa Su and Grandma Lin stood up to see her off. Gu Zhenqi felt that as a junior, she couldn't bear to be sent off by her elders, so she quickly declined:
"Grandma Lin, Grandpa Su, please stay. I know the way."
Just as he was about to lift his foot, he suddenly remembered something: "Master Su, I'll come again next time and bring you a surprise?"
As soon as she said this, she caught a glimpse of the disappointment that flashed across Grandma Lin's face out of the corner of her eye. Gu Zhenqi was immediately amused. As the saying goes: old child, old child, it seems to be true!
I quickly added: "Grandma Lin, you can also wait for the surprise!"
Her sudden jump made the two old people smile happily.
Mr. Su: "Okay, okay, I'll wait."
Grandma Lin: "I love surprises the most."
After leaving Mr. Su's house and walking to the gate, the guard stopped her and said, "Wait a minute, comrade. I didn't understand clearly just now and wasted your time."
Gu Zhenqi did not blame him. It was his job to stop her. An old meritorious man like Mr. Su should be protected. He smiled and said:
"You are a conscientious person. I have no reason to blame you."
The guard was embarrassed and scratched the back of his head:
"Hey, hey, thank you. Next time you come, I promise to send you in as soon as possible."
"Thank you!" She nodded slightly to express her gratitude.
