Bu Senyuan's words were half true and half false.
On the one hand, he knew that soldiers could sleep anywhere, and the conditions in their dormitories were quite good, no worse than those of pilots.
On the other hand, he just wanted to see Jiang Jun's reaction and test whether Jiang Jun was really covering it up or was really fine.
Just now, while eating, Bu Senyuan quietly observed the interaction between Jiang Jun and Luo Haixiang. It was perfectly normal, not even as lively as the topics between him and Luo Haixiang.
When Bu Senyuan wanted to test Luo Haixiang further, Luo Haixiang suggested leaving: "Team Leader Bu, I have a mission tomorrow and need to meet up with the other crew members tonight. Xiao Jiang can just take me there."
Jiang Jun was furious: "You know Lingcheng better than I do!"
I really don't want to send it off, no matter whether I'm familiar with the road or not.
I don't even want to be polite!
Asking to be sent away in front of everyone must mean that he is telling her about Director Geng, and she doesn’t want to hear it!
Su Kangle was happy: "Is it because you are not familiar with the road that I want you to take me there?"
Jiang Jun touched his forehead, not wanting his colleagues to misunderstand him: "I have a headache, Qiu Kai, can you help me take it to the hospital?"
Luo Haixiang didn't mind at all: "Go out for a walk and breathe some fresh air and your headache will go away."
Bu Senyuan misunderstood. He was sure that when Luo Haixiang said he was leaving, he was looking at Jiang Jun with a meaningful look. Now he was even more certain that Jiang Jun's coldness just now was all pretended for them. She felt that they had taken up her and Luo Haixiang's time alone, so she was deliberately making trouble with Luo Haixiang!
"Xiao Jiang, go see them off. I need to hurry up and have a meeting with Qiu Kai and Su Kang. They both have missions to complete." Bu Senyuan dismissed them with a few words. "Xiao Luo, I won't see you off. I'll find you when I get back to the capital!"
Jiang Yun was speechless.
She felt that Luo Haixiang should ask Bu Senyuan to open the back door.
While eating, he talked endlessly with Luo Haixiang, and the more they talked, the more acquaintances they had in common, which fully and perfectly proved the theory of six degrees of separation.
She suspected that if these two people really made it to the basketball team, they would probably be in a master-disciple relationship.
In fact, Bu Senyuan and Luo Haixiang hit it off right away because he was a former soldier and they had common hobbies and similar experiences.
He felt that Luo Haixiang's excellence was obvious, and perhaps Jiang Jun could really consider him if there was no more suitable candidate.
Luo Haixiang was very calm. Carrying the flattened luggage bag, he watched Jiang Jun walk out the door angrily. Then he nodded to Bu Senyuan and the others and quickly chased after him.
Jiang Jun remained silent, fearing someone might see him from behind. He walked to the street corner and stopped at the corner. He stood under a large tree and glared at Luo Haixiang with displeasure. "Alright, I'll drop you off here. You can do the rest on your own!"
Luo Haixiang raised his hand to stop him: "Xiao Jiang, don't be angry, listen to me for a few words, okay?"
He really regretted it. Why did he get involved in these things? The interaction between the two of them when they were in the nursing home, talking and laughing, was gone.
Jiang Jun turned his face away: "There's nothing much to say."
Luo Haixiang sighed secretly: "Xiao Jiang, I'll leave after I'm done. I'll just tell you how I met Uncle Geng, and I promise not to mention your work, okay?"
Jiang Jun frowned. "Hurry up, then. If you mention anything related to my work, I'll leave immediately. Don't come to me again, and I won't tell Yang Shuangshuang about what happened today."
Don't see each other anymore, we can't even be friends.
Luo Haixiang said with difficulty: "Xiao Jiang, although our family is in the capital, my grandfather's hometown is in Lingcheng..."
Jiang Jun was slightly surprised, and sensitively thought of some melodramatic rumors he had heard, and immediately pricked up his ears to listen.
Luo Haixiang swallowed his saliva and said, "My grandfather's two generations before him were big landlords. When he was eighteen, his family married him off and had a son. Then, due to war, his family fled. He left home to pursue progressive ideas, went to another place and studied at the Whampoa Military Academy, then joined the army to fight. After that, there was no news from him, and his family thought he was dead.
Later, when the country was liberated, he followed the large army across the river and fought his way back to his hometown. Only then did people in his hometown know that my grandfather was not dead, and they all arranged for my grandmother to take her son and my grandfather to the city to enjoy life.
But my grandfather had already found a female military doctor to marry and had my father. My father was 20 years old at that time. My grandmother was very angry. She said that if my grandfather recognized someone from his hometown, she would divorce my grandfather and take my father away.
Later, my grandfather asked the organization to intervene and told my grandmother not to look for him anymore. He would be responsible for finding a job for the son who stayed in the hometown and providing for my grandmother in her old age.
Jiang Yun listened quietly.
Luo Haixiang gritted his teeth and said, "The wife and son my grandfather left behind in his hometown are Uncle Geng and Grandma Geng. This is the Luo family's secret, and no one has ever told it. It was my grandfather who called me to his bedside before he died and told me about it. He also gave me money and asked me to take care of the people in his hometown for him and asked me to treat them well.
I bought a train ticket myself and secretly came to visit my grandma and uncle in my hometown.
They were all very kind and didn’t want me to be embarrassed, so they didn’t tell anyone that I was Geng’s grandson. They still asked me to call them uncle and grandma.
Jiang Jun: “…”
What a sad experience!
Why are things so complicated?
Luo Haixiang's eyes were filled with pain. "Uncle Geng's children all died young, so they treated me like their closest relative. I just want to fulfill Grandpa's last wish and not let him die with regrets."
Jiang Jun's expression softened, and his voice became a little dry: "Where are your father and the others? Did they know you were coming?"
Luo Haixiang shook his head: "My father is very filial, they always thought I knew nothing."
Jiang Jun looked up at Luo Haixiang, hesitant to speak: "Then what do you want?"
Luo Haixiang smiled bitterly: "I don't know what to do. What happened to Uncle Geng in the past? What's happening now? I don't know anything! Grandma Geng is almost eighty years old now. One of her eyes is blind and she won't live long. So every time I come to Lingcheng, I must go to visit her."
Jiang Yun remembered that when he met Geng Pinggui's mother at the grain management office, she did have cataracts in one eye.
She thought of Uncle Jiang and his wife who lived near the grain management office. "Well, at least you can still come visit Grandma Geng. Do you know Uncle Jiang? He can't even see his granddaughter now!"
Things in this world are unpredictable, and there are always some stories that make people sad.
Luo Haixiang nodded gently: "I know! Uncle Geng also sent people to send them clothes and food. I helped to take them there once."
