A row of camphor trees were planted outside the hospital, blocking the glass windows used for lighting in the hospital corridors. This made the interior dim and gave off an eerie feeling.
Shen Yu put the information back into the briefcase, glanced at the silent man, and after a moment's hesitation, said, "Find someone to smooth things over. I want that soldier to return to the army as soon as possible."
The man nodded and replied, "Yes."
"By the way, arrange for a few more people to talk to Xiao's father and mother and ask them to get married as soon as possible. Lovers should get married as soon as possible." Shen Yu clenched the folder in his hand, turned around and slowly looked at the closed ward on the side.
Her son should not marry such a girl, nor should he cut off ties with his family for this.
If Xiao Fangyun chose to marry Lu Zechen and join the army, then it would not be her fault. At that time, no matter how much trouble Chen Mu made, she would not be able to tell the difference between right and wrong.
How can there be any overnight hatred between people?
Thinking of this, a smile slowly appeared on Shen Qi's lips.
*
The Shanghai Railway Station covers a large area, and the noise from the coming and going of people is so deafening that it hurts your ears.
A tall man in a black coat carrying a suitcase got off the train through the crowd and slowly walked towards the exit.
The man walked forward with his head held high and chest puffed out, glancing around from time to time and looking down at the road. His hair covered his eyes, hiding the complex emotions reflected in his pupils.
It was not until I got out of the train station that I saw someone I knew among the crowd.
"Uncle Gu."
A low and slightly hoarse voice sounded in his ears. The middle-aged man who had been looking around for someone suddenly turned around and looked. After seeing the tall figure, his eyes turned red.
"Second Young Master, you're finally back. You've lost a lot of weight. I don't know why you insisted on going to that country place. How are you living there?"
Uncle Gu shook Zhou Rang's outstretched hand, his voice trembling with excitement. As he spoke, he looked Zhou Rang up and down. Seeing that he was a little darker and thinner, he wiped away a few tears with heartache.
Zhou Rang was in no mood to reminisce about the past. After replying briefly, he continued to ask about the point.
"Well, I'm back. How's it going when I kiss her?" Zhou Rang patted Uncle Gu's arm to comfort him, and then anxiously asked the question that had been bothering him all the way.
Uncle Gu subconsciously waved his hand and blurted out, "Hello, Madam."
After noticing Zhou Rang's changed expression, he hurriedly said, "Madam has been waiting for you to come back to see her, so she's been feeling better recently. However, the doctor says the situation is still not optimistic."
Hearing this, Zhou Rang frowned and glanced suspiciously at Uncle Gu, who looked uncomfortable.
"Then what disease did my mother have? She couldn't explain it clearly over the phone." Zhou Rang followed Uncle Gu forward.
"The doctor said it was just a relapse of stomach problems, and some discomfort in my stomach and intestines." Uncle Gu didn't even turn his head, but walked forward quickly.
"I remember that my mother hasn't had a relapse of stomach problems for a long time. Why is it so sudden this time? Hasn't our family always paid attention to her diet?" Zhou Rang's tone became more and more hurried as he spoke.
Uncle Gu coughed lightly and said perfunctorily, "We don't know either. One night my wife said she had a stomachache and was taken to the hospital. The doctor said it was a relapse."
As they were talking, they arrived at a main road not far from the train station, where a black sedan was parked.
Uncle Gu took out the key from his trouser pocket, opened the car door, and then helped Zhou Rang put his luggage in the car.
"You'll know what's going on when we get home." Zhou Rang glanced meaningfully at Uncle Gu, who was sweating profusely, then bent down and entered the back of the car.
Uncle Gu wiped the sweat from his forehead and spit in his heart. They had told him not to come to pick up the second young master, but they didn't believe him. Now look what happened. I guess Zhou Ran has guessed the truth.
On the way back to Zhou's house, the carriage was very quiet. Occasionally, Zhou Rang would ask about Uncle Gu's recent situation, but apart from that, there was no other words.
Neither of them mentioned Zhou Li's illness again, perhaps because they had a tacit understanding.
The car slowly drove into a large road lined with birch trees. The grayish-white bark of the trees was particularly eye-catching. Zhou Rang stared at the grayish-white bark and fell into deep thought.
He was awakened by the sound of a security guard knocking on the window. He then slowly rolled down the window. A young man in a military green uniform took out a notebook and carefully asked for his basic personal information.
For some reason, Zhou Rang actually found it a little funny. It had only been a few months and the people next door to his house had changed a lot.
Time flies so fast, things are no longer the same and nothing is the same.
He laughed out loud, his face tucked in. He rested his hand on the car window, supporting his forehead. He answered earnestly, his voice tinged with laughter: "Zhou Rang, 20 years old. What do you ask me? I'm an educated youth sent to the countryside from the Red Sun Commune in Sang'an County, Huiping City, Jiangbei Province."
The young guard tapped the edge of the car window with the notebook he was writing down information in dissatisfaction, frowning and saying, "Comrade, can you be serious for a moment?"
"Hey, what's your attitude? Do you know who he is?" Uncle Gu turned around from the driver's seat and yelled at the young guard.
"No matter who you are, you must cooperate. All strangers entering and leaving the compound must register their information." The young guard saluted, then picked up the pen and asked, "What are you doing in Shanghai, the educated youth from Jiangbei Province? Do you have a letter of introduction?"
"I'm going home to visit my relatives. The letter of introduction is in the box." Zhou Rang supported his chin and stared casually at a crumbling leaf on the birch tree.
He remembered that when he left Shanghai, the tree was still lush and flourishing. Now, after the change of seasons, it has become like this.
"Take it out and let me check it." The young guard felt a surge of anger when he saw Zhou Rang acting like he didn't take him seriously, and his tone became unpleasant.
Zhou Rang was stunned. Just as he was about to turn around to open the box at his feet and look for the letter of introduction, he heard footsteps outside the car. He subconsciously looked up and met a pair of eyes.
"Wow, the Zhou family's youngest son is back?" A middle-aged woman in a green coat stood outside the car window and greeted with a smile.
"Auntie Wang, long time no see." Zhou Rang also returned a polite smile.
The young guard saluted and said respectfully, "Hello, Director Wang."
Director Wang of the Women's Association of the Subdistrict Office waved her hand. She had just heard what had happened and said jokingly, "This is Guard Xiaotian, who has just been appointed to the post a few days ago. Please don't be offended if I don't recognize you."
"It's okay." Zhou Rang nodded, smiled and shook his head.
"Xiaotian, this is the young master of the Zhou family, not some stranger or outsider. He had already gone to the countryside when you came. Let them in quickly." Director Wang patted Xiaotian's shoulder.
"Then I'll leave first." Director Wang said, and walked away.
"Yes." A drop of cold sweat slid down the forehead of Guard Oda, and then he opened the fence and let them in.
"Goodbye." Zhou Rang smiled and waved at him, then closed the car window.
