A row of camphor trees was planted outside the hospital, blocking the glass windows used for lighting in the hospital corridors. This made the interior light dim and exuded a sense of weirdness.
Shen Yu put the information back into the file bag, glanced at the silent man, and said after a moment of silence: "Find someone to smooth the relationship. I want that soldier to join the army as soon as possible."
The man nodded and said, "Yes."
"By the way, arrange a few more people to talk to Xiao's father 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 she couldn't be blamed. At that time, no matter how much trouble Chen Mu made, he would not be able to distinguish the seriousness of the matter.
How can there be any overnight hatred between two 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 people coming and going is so deafening that it hurts your ears.
A tall man in a black coat carrying a suitcase walked down the train along with the crowd and walked slowly towards the exit.
The man walked forward with his head held high, 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 walked out of the train station that I saw an acquaintance among the crowd.
"Uncle Gu."
A low and slightly hoarse voice sounded in his ears. The middle-aged man who was originally looking around for someone suddenly turned his head and looked around. After seeing the tall figure, his eyes reddened.
"Second Young Master, you're finally here. You've lost a lot of weight. I don't know why you insisted on going to that country place. How are you doing there?"
Uncle Gu held the hand Zhou Rang extended to him, his voice trembling with excitement. As he spoke, he looked Zhou Rang up and down. Noticing that he had become a little darker and thinner, he wiped away a few tears out of heartache.
Zhou Rang was in no mood to reminisce about the past. After a few simple replies, he got to the point.
"Well, I'm here. How is my kiss?" 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, "Madam is fine."
Seeing Zhou Rang's changed expression, he hurriedly said, "Madam has been waiting for you to come see her, so she has been feeling better recently, but the doctor said the situation is still not optimistic."
Hearing this, Zhou Rang frowned and glanced suspiciously at Uncle Gu, who looked very self-conscious.
"Then what disease did my mother have? He didn't even explain it clearly over the phone." Zhou Rang walked forward with Uncle Gu behind him.
"The doctor said it was a recurrence of stomach disease and some discomfort in my stomach and intestines." Uncle Gu didn't even look back, but walked forward at a very fast pace.
"I remember that my dear hasn't had a relapse of stomach problems for a long time. Why did it happen so suddenly this time? Didn't her family pay attention to her diet?" Zhou Rang's tone became more and more urgent 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 sent to the hospital. The doctor said it was a relapse."
As they were talking, they arrived at the side of 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 the luggage in the car.
"You'll know what's going on when you get home." Zhou Rang looked 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 cursed in his heart. He had told them not to let him come to pick up the second young master, but they didn't believe him. Now it's okay. I guess Zhou Ran has guessed the truth.
On the way to Zhou's house, the carriage was very quiet. Occasionally, Zhou Rang's voice would be heard asking about Uncle Gu's recent situation, but other than that, there was no other words.
Neither of them mentioned Zhou Qi's illness again, perhaps because they had a tacit understanding.
The car slowly drove into an avenue lined with birch trees. The grayish-white bark of the trees was particularly eye-catching. Zhou Rang stared at the grayish-white color and fell into deep thought.
He was awakened by the guard's knocking on the window, 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. In just a few months, the people at his doorstep had already changed a lot.
Time flies so fast, things are no longer the same and nothing is the same.
He really laughed out loud when he wanted to laugh, resting his hand on the car window to support his forehead, and answered seriously with a tone of laughter: "Zhou Rang, 20 years old, asking what I do? An educated youth who went to the countryside from the Red Sun Company in Sang'an County, Huiping City, Jiangbei Province."
The young guard tapped the edge of the car window with the notebook he was recording information in dissatisfaction, frowned and said, "Comrade, can you be more serious?"
"Hey, what's your attitude? Do you know who he is?" Uncle Gu turned his head from the driver's seat and yelled at the young guard.
"No matter who you are, you should cooperate with the work. All strangers entering and leaving the compound must register their information." The young guard saluted, then picked up the pen and asked, "What are the educated youth from Jiangbei Province doing in Shanghai? Do you have a letter of introduction?"
"I'm visiting my family. The letter of introduction is in the box." Zhou Rang supported his chin and stared nonchalantly at a crumbling leaf on the birch tree.
He remembered that when he left Shanghai, the tree was still very lush, but now, after the changing of seasons, it has become like this.
"Take it out and let me check it." The young guard felt angry when he saw Zhou Rang didn't take him seriously, and his tone became unpleasant.
Zhou Rang was stunned. Just as he was about to turn around and open the box at his feet to look for the letter of introduction, he heard footsteps outside the car. He subconsciously looked up and met a pair of eyes.
"Wow, the youngest son of the Zhou family is here?" 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 gave a polite smile.
The young guard saluted first and said respectfully, "Hello, Director Wang."
Director Wang of the Women's Association of the Street Office waved her hand. She knew what had happened from what she had just heard, so she jokingly said, "This is Guard Xiao Tian, who has just reported for duty a few days ago. Don't be surprised 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 from outside. He had already gone to the countryside when you came. Let them in quickly." Director Wang patted Xiaotian on the 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.
