Uncle's expression also carried a hint of nostalgia as he smiled and said, "Brother Rong said that it's not about how long you live that matters, but about living a vibrant and fulfilling life, even if it's just for a moment. That's enough."
Even when facing death, he faced it with equanimity.
He was still painting before he died, and he was never afraid of what the future might hold.
As long as I'm alive for even a day or a second, I'll happily do what I love.
Old Master Chu also laughed, "That's right, he wasn't the type to be sentimental. Maybe after he died, he went to the underworld and was happily reincarnated."
The two old men were playing chess in the courtyard, while Lin Xiaoxiao and Chu Xiaobao followed behind Wen Shiyu, eating freshly baked snacks.
The steamed sponge cake was piping hot, fresh out of the oven, fluffy and soft, and even sweeter with the addition of milk powder.
Lin Xiaoxiao ate two large pieces, and Chu Xiaobao, needless to say, ate so much that he couldn't even lift his head.
This was Wen Shiyu's first time making sponge cake. After listening to the chef's tutorial, she made some improvements according to her own ideas, and the result was amazing.
Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao and Chu Xiaobao eating so happily, she felt very pleased.
"Eat less, there's plenty of good food tonight, don't fill your stomach up." Even if it's delicious, she doesn't recommend eating too much.
If I eat my fill now, I won't be able to eat anything tonight.
It would be very distressing to look at a table full of delicious food but not be able to eat it.
Lin Xiao stopped eating after finishing the second piece, put two more pieces on a plate, and sent them to Uncle and Grandpa Chu, and also poured them some tea.
As dinner time approached, members of the Chu family gradually arrived.
The first to arrive were Chu Weinian and his wife. After getting off work, Chu Weinian immediately had his secretary drive them over, along with some gifts he had bought at the Friendship Store.
Then came Chu Wuyan and his brothers.
Chu Wuyou was dressed in a well-fitting Zhongshan suit, the clothes were brand new, and he was also wearing glasses, looking extremely formal.
Upon inquiry, it turned out that they had just received an important foreign guest and were serving as translators for the leaders.
When Chu Wuyan came, he didn't come empty-handed. He brought Lin Xiaoxiao a whole bunch of documents that she needed to handle personally, and he even emphasized, "Sister Lin, don't you think I'm thoughtful? Director Fan said to wait for you to go to the bureau to handle them, but I thought that would be too much trouble, so I brought them back to you directly."
Lin Xiaoxiao: "......"
Thank you.
Chu Wujin was the most listless among the brothers. His dark circles were so heavy they could be national treasures in C province, but it was still obvious that he had taken special care of himself. He just didn't look very energetic.
The criminal investigation team is indeed very busy, spinning like tops every day.
Lin Xiaoxiao was afraid he would suddenly die, so she quickly poured him a glass of water, secretly scraped some medicine powder into it, and handed it to him after it dissolved.
"Thank you." Chu Wujin took it and drank it all in one gulp.
He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt his dizzy head seemed to clear up a bit.
He glanced at the cup a few times, then looked at Lin Xiaoxiao.
Lin Xiaoxiao remained calm, and Chu Wujin thought he must be overthinking things.
Chu Wuyi was a real character; he was the most talkative person in the whole courtyard. Whenever he saw Lin Xiaoxiao, he would drag her along and start ranting about the idiots and stupid things he had encountered at work.
He was crying his eyes out, and Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel sorry for what he had gone through.
Do you really encounter a lot of weirdos at work?
She felt things were going well when she worked at the Jiangcheng Textile Factory.
Security personnel: ......
Don't you even realize how painful it is to punch someone?
Forget about weirdos, even lunatics would avoid you.
After listening to him nag for so long, Chu Weinian finally couldn't help but speak up, "Quit your job and go study for me."
What's the point of a little kid like you working if you don't study?
Chu Wuyi is the kind of person who is bad at studying and bad at working. In Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes, he is a typical parasite.
If I had been born into an ordinary family, my life would probably have ended up like this.
But he was lucky; he was born into the Chu family.
Chu Weinian knew his youngest son's personality well; he was lazy and loved to play. He had hoped that going to work would temper his temper, but even that didn't work. He was always getting into arguments or fights with others...
Chu Wuyi muttered, "I don't want to go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University."
Chu Weinian took a deep breath. "Others would love to get on, and you're giving me a pick?"
If this weren't with Lin Xiaoxiao, but rather at the Chu family's place, Chu Weinian would have already slapped her with a stick.
"If I don't want to, I don't want to." Chu Wuyi just couldn't understand. Did his not want to have anything to do with other people not being able to get on?
Even if he doesn't go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, those who can't go still can't go, right?
"So what do you want to learn?" Chu Weinian asked patiently.
Chu Wuyi's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "I want to learn to sing!"
Everyone: "......"
The courtyard was quiet for a while, with only the sound of the cook preparing food coming from the kitchen.
After a long while, Tang Jie pulled Chu Weinian aside and whispered to him for a while. No one knows what the couple discussed, but in the end, Chu Weinian agreed to let Chu Wuyi go to learn to sing.
The plan is to discuss with Chu Xiaonian after he arrives about putting Chu Wuyi in the army's cultural troupe to do odd jobs.
While he's at it, let him learn from the comrades in the cultural troupe.
How far he can learn depends on his own destiny.
Chu Weinian had no hope at all. His youngest son was always only enthusiastic about things for a short time and would give up as soon as he couldn't stick to them.
Learning to sing is no exception.
Lin Xiaoxiao thought it was a good idea; only by trying more things could she discover what she truly liked.
She felt that Chu Wuyi wasn't incapable of persisting, but rather that he simply lost interest after getting to know him.
