Hearing that the two families had a long history, Lan Guoer invited them into the carriage and took a seat. At the same time, with the introduction of Mr. Wu, she learned about the past of the Lan and Hua families.
The Hua family is a famous scholarly family in Hai City.
However, by the time of Old Master Hua, Hua Yaoyao's great-grandfather, his family fell into decline because of his upright and conservative character, and he was exploited and instigated by villains to make statements boycotting the new government.
The Hua family has always had few male descendants, and by Grandpa Hua's generation, he was the only one left.
Because he was weak since childhood, apart from teaching others to read and write, he could not do any work that required physical strength!
It was the Beiyang government period, the society was in turmoil, and the Hua family's financial situation became increasingly difficult.
Seventeen-year-old Grandpa Hua even fainted on the road due to hunger and malnutrition!
Fortunately, they were met by Mrs. Lan and Grandma Hua who were passing by.
Old Madam Lan and Grandma Hua were both students at the girls' middle school at the time. They came from similar families and had similar interests. After entering school, they quickly became good sisters and best friends who could talk about anything.
On their way home from school, the two saw Grandpa Hua fainted on the ground and no one cared about him. They felt sympathy for him and called a rickshaw to take him to Grandma Hua's house.
It was this act of kindness that made the young Grandpa Hua fall in love with her at first sight. As they spent time together, the two gradually developed feelings for each other, which became a beautiful story.
After Mrs. Lan married into the Lan family, the two families often had interactions.
When the Japanese war broke out, the people suffered terribly, and life was even more difficult for a scholarly family like the Hua family!
Especially after Hua's father was born, the Hua family had old and young people, and the whole family relied on the meager teaching fees from Grandpa Hua to make a living. They were on the verge of despair several times, and fortunately, the Lan family provided assistance many times, and they were able to barely get through the difficulties.
It was not until Hua's father came of age that his extraordinary talent was appreciated by his superiors and the Hua family gradually began to prosper.
After the Lan family encountered misfortunes, especially at the beginning of the movement ten years ago, Hua's father spared no effort and ran around for the Lan family.
Speaking of which, the two families have helped each other through thick and thin and have a deep friendship.
"I heard that your father is now the deputy mayor of Hai City?"
In recent years, the two families have lived in different places for a long time, so the exchanges are naturally not as frequent as before.
Furthermore, even with the protection from above, the Lan family still had to be on the safe side due to their background, fearing that they would cause trouble to the Hua family. Since then, Madam Lan and Master Wu never contacted them on their own initiative, but only learned some news about the Hua family from the side.
Hua Yaoyao nodded, "Exactly! Father and Grandma often mention you and Grandma Lan! I wonder where Uncle Wu and Sister Guo'er are going this time? Do you have time to come over and visit us?"
After learning about their identities, Hua Yaoyao was no longer restrained. After learning about Lan Guoer's age, she affectionately called her by her nickname.
"It's Haishi! If I have enough time, I will definitely visit their home. Are Uncle Hua and Aunt Hua still healthy?"
When talking about the health of the two old people, Hua Yaoyao's eyes flashed with sadness.
"Grandma's fine, but Grandpa... He's old and overworked in his early years... He hasn't been doing well lately. I'm afraid... I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on for much longer!"
After hearing this, Mr. Wu sighed and nodded. As people get older, they will inevitably face illness!
However, thinking of Lan Guoer's ability, he looked at Lan Guoer with a questioning look in his eyes, "We..."
"When I'm done, I'll go see the old man!" Before he could speak, Lan Guoer spoke first.
The two families are old friends, and she also has a good impression of the brother and sister in front of her. Lan Guoer is very happy to continue this good relationship between the two families.
"That's good! In this way, the old man might be able to live a few more years!"
After hearing Lan Guoer's frank words, Master Wu was so happy that he no longer had any reservations.
"Uncle Wu, what you mean is..."
The Hua family siblings, hearing Master Wu speak so confidently, as if the old man's life and death were under his control, looked at him with wide eyes, their faces full of confusion.
There was even a faint expectation in their hearts, hoping that Mr. Hua could really stay with them for a few more years as Mr. Wu said.
"Don't look at my Guo'er because she is younger than you two. She is a specially appointed physician at the Military General Hospital and her medical skills are amazing!" Master Wu boasted.
"Your Grandma Lan was blind for many years, I think you all know! Guo'er cured her. Now, she can see things clearly even a hundred meters away!"
"Grandma Lan's eyes have been cured?" Hua Yaoyao blinked her long eyelashes excitedly, "That's great! Grandma has been thinking about this all the time and feels sorry for Grandma Lan's eyes!"
As she spoke, she looked at Lan Guoer, her eyes full of disbelief.
"I never thought that Miss Guo'er would achieve so much at such a young age! We are so lucky to have met Miss Guo'er on this trip!"
"Yes, yes!"
Hua Yichen watched Hua Yaoyao and Lan Guoer get close quietly, but never got a chance to speak! At this time, he also echoed,
"Just the fact that Sister Guo'er saved me is enough for our Hua family to remember for the rest of our lives!
"Sister Guo'er, although I'm only a few months older than you, I, Hua Yichen, have decided on you as my sister! If you have any problems, don't be polite to me. I dare not talk to you about other places, but in Hai City, if you have any problems, just come to me!"
There is no preference for boys over girls in the Hua family. On the contrary, Hua Yichen has been a sister slave since he was a child, and he obeys Hua Yaoyao's orders without hesitation!
His personality was also different from the feminine nature of the Hua family men, and he now had a kind of unrestrained and uninhibited energy! In addition, as the son of the deputy mayor, he got along well with the cynical children of the rich and powerful in Hai City.
Master Wu still remembered that this kid had rashly disturbed his sweet dream last night, so he rolled his eyes at him.
"You're so reckless and impetuous! I don't know who you resemble! I need you for something? I'm afraid you'll lead me astray!"
"Uncle Wu~" Hua Yichen scratched his head and nudged Uncle Wu's shoulder in a flattering manner.
"Are you still holding onto the grudge Yi Chen inflicted last night? Isn't it enough for Yi Chen to apologize to you again? You are a magnanimous person, so please forgive Yi Chen this time. Yi Chen was wrong, and I promise I will never do it again..."
Hua Yichen acted coquettishly and cutely, rubbed his back and waist, and coaxed and flattered him. Soon, he really made the stern-faced Master Wu laugh!
Lan Guoer and Hua Yaoyao were watching from the side and were both amused by him. Lan Guoer had a deeper understanding of this new brother of the Hua family.
With his flexible spirit, eloquence, and the ability to coax people with both firmness and softness, if he were in the future, he would have easily become the top star of a public relations company!
