When I got home, I saw Shitou practicing boxing in the yard with a look of relief on his face.
After entering the house, he took off his hat and hung it up: "I'm back."
Gu Qianru raised her head and smiled: "Have you measured the dimensions over there?"
Lu Yichen took off his military coat and said, "After the measurements are taken, we can just send the furniture over there when the time comes."
Gu Qianru nodded and said, "Okay, we've prepared everything here, have you eaten?"
"I ate it. Qiaoqiao cooked it at the family compound. It was a good opportunity to try out the stove."
"Have you left room for a gas stove over there?"
"Yes, Qiaoqiao asked the craftsmen to make a stove with honeycomb coal, and also left a place for a gas stove. I will buy a set of these in the next few days when I have time."
Gu Qianru stood up and took out a letter from under the coffee table: "It was delivered early this morning."
When Lu Yichen saw the address on the envelope, his brows furrowed. He tore open the envelope, took out the letter inside, read it quickly, and his expression darkened.
Gu Qianru felt that he was in a bad mood. She looked up and saw anger in Lu Yichen's eyes. The letter was written by the wife of her late comrade-in-arms Bai Congjun. If Bai Congjun hadn't pushed him during that mission, he would have died.
Later, they were separated because of the mission. When he learned that Bai Congjun had died, he woke up in the hospital a few days later. Later, he went to Bai's house once.
At that time, in addition to taking care of their three-year-old son, Bai Congjun's wife was also six months pregnant. He even left a sum of money for them privately, hoping it would help them and their child.
After all, the Bai family has not split up and has a large population. It is hard to say whether the family will have any objections over time.
The letter briefly described the situation of the mother and son in the Bai family in recent years. It turned out that the baby in the sister-in-law's belly was not kept, and was pushed away by the second sister-in-law of the Bai family. The sister-in-law did not recover from the miscarriage, so she has been sick ever since.
After that, they, mother and son, were even less welcome in the Bai family. This time, he really felt that he could not endure it any longer. He was afraid that his son would not be able to survive in this family after she left, so he asked someone to write this letter of entrustment.
Lu Yichen stared at the letter intently, walked quickly to the phone, made a call, and told the person on the other end of the phone to investigate the Bai family's affairs as soon as possible.
He has a lot of things on his hands these days, and it will take several days to finish them, so he has to know himself and his enemy before he arrives. He doesn't have time, and doesn't want to get too entangled with the Bai family.
After he calmed down, he thought about how Bai Congjun had done him a favor. Since his only son was not liked by the Bai family, he would definitely bring him back. But how should he tell Luo Qiao about this? Would she be unhappy?
He reached out and touched his cheek, thinking that they should talk about it when they met tomorrow. No matter what, he would find a way to convince Qiaoqiao, and he believed that Qiaoqiao would understand his decision.
When Mr. Gu came out of the study, he saw his grandson sitting there with a frown on his face. He walked to the sofa opposite him and sat down. When he saw the letter in his hand, he asked, "Who wrote this?"
Lu Yichen handed the letter to his grandfather: "It's a letter from the lover of my former comrade-in-arms Bai Congjun."
Old Master Gu took the letter and read it: "The Bai family is simply beasts. Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. Is this something that blood relatives can do? They spent the pension of Bai Congjun, but treated the orphans of the martyrs like this."
Lu Yichen said with a cold face: "Grandpa, I have asked someone to investigate. I will go there in person after I finish the things on hand in the next few days. I am not at ease leaving the child to others. If the child agrees, I want to take him back to Beijing."
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Old Master Gu nodded and said, "It's up to you. It's just a matter of adding an extra pair of chopsticks. But you have to discuss this with Qiaoqiao in advance to avoid affecting your relationship."
