Chapter 231: Old Chu
Under Xu Shiyan's exaggerated and contrived howl, everyone's eyes on this brother and sister have changed from suspicion to sympathy and pity.
They can still live if they lose some money and things, what kind of virtue have these brothers and sisters become poor, what can they do in the future?
Everyone shook their heads and sighed, and returned to their seats.
Xu Shiyan howled two more times, and only then did he return to his seat with a sad face under the persuasion of others.
Just at this time, the train arrived at another station, and a few people got off the train, and then a large group of people came up hula.
Xu Shiyan saw it, and hurriedly asked Xu Shiqin to sit on his side and make room for the people who came up later.
The brother and sister were next to each other, whispering.
"Brother, you can really do it, you can pretend anything?
As soon as you came out just now, you were exactly the same as Chen Deyong's mother. ”
Xu Shiqin lowered his head and didn't dare to raise it, muttering quietly.
"Well, that's what she learned.
No, don't you see that several people in the carriage have lost money and things? It must have been the man who did it last night.
If I don't come here, they'll have to be suspicious of us. ”
There is no way, in order not to arouse suspicion, then you have to sprinkle and roll and sing a big show.
Although it is exaggerated a little bit and looks like a fool, the effect is very good, and Xu Shiyan is very satisfied.
As for those who have lost money and things, they do not deserve anyone's sympathy.
Now it's a mess outside, and I don't even know this when I go out, and I can sleep on the train, and I deserve to lose something.
Xu Shiyan is not anyone's parents, and he has no obligation to help them catch thieves.
What's going on? If he had been injured last night because of the thief, how many of these people could help him?
You must have a good heart, but if you score something, you can't tell the situation and send kindness indiscriminately, and you won't have a good life.
It can be said that he is selfish, but first of all, he must take responsibility for himself and his loved ones.
This is the responsibility of a son, a husband, and a father, and he will never be reckless to fight for irrelevant people.
There were many people in the car, and the two of them didn't continue to talk, only closed their eyes and stared.
There were a lot of people coming up from the last two stops, there were no seats on the bus, and many people were standing.
At half past seven in the morning, the train entered the final station, Changchun Station.
Xu Shiyan's brother and sister picked up their luggage, followed the crowd unhurriedly, and walked out of the station.
Outside, I found an older man and inquired about the way to Bethune Medical University.
Chu Lao said in a letter before that he lived in the family area of the faculty and staff of the Medical University.
It is also very close to the affiliated hospital, and Qi Yunsheng is now also interning in the affiliated hospital.
According to the instructions of the two brothers, they got on the bus and went straight to the medical station on Xinmin Street.
When they arrived here, the two of them did not go directly to find someone, but first found a hotel nearby, and opened a double room with the letter of introduction from the brigade.
The brother and sister brought too much money to live with others, and even if they spent more money, they had to have a separate room.
Most of the tourists staying in this neighborhood are accompanying their families to see a doctor, so the hotel will also take care of this.
The staff did not make it difficult for Xu Shiyan's brothers and sisters, and simply arranged a room.
The two put away their luggage, changed their clothes, and locked the door with money.
Came out of the hotel, followed the address written in the letter from Chu Lao, and went straight to the family area.
Chu Lao is already seventy-six, and he no longer holds a substantive position in the first two years, but is an honorary president and honorary dean.
Now that the research team has overcome the difficulties, Chu Lao doesn't even bring any students, just sorting out medical cases at home and reading books.
Xu Shiyan took the letter and looked for it one by one according to the address on the letter, but he really didn't understand, so he asked someone on the road.
The provincial capital at the beginning of November was warmer than that in Donggang, and the brothers and sisters were still dressed according to the temperature at home, and they were sweating hot after walking around for a while.
Fortunately, he finally found Chu Lao's home, and Xu Shiyan hurriedly stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Who are you looking for?"
A woman in her forties came out to open the door, saw Xu Shiyan's brother and sister, and asked with doubt.
"Hello, may I ask if this is Mr. Chu Xuanhuai's home?
We came from Fusong to visit the old gentleman. Xu Shiyan knew that this person was Chu Lao's nanny.
Chu Lao's wife died of illness when he had an accident that year, and the two sons drew a clear line with Chu Lao in order to avoid suspicion and sent them elsewhere.
Later, Chu Lao was taken back to the provincial capital to resume work, and the two sons had already taken root elsewhere and did not return to the northeast.
Therefore, Chu Lao has lived alone all these years, and the nanny is arranged by the school, which is to take care of Chu Lao's daily life.
As soon as she heard that it was from Fusong, the nanny immediately laughed.
"I know, I know, it's the surname Xu, right? Chu Lao always chattered, and said yesterday that you might come recently. Please come in. ”
It should be that Chu Lao had instructed him in advance, so the nanny had a good attitude and politely let the Xu Shiyan brothers and sisters into the small courtyard.
Housing in the family area is not large.
Although Chu Lao's level is very high, he is alone and doesn't care much about external conditions, so it is a small courtyard with two and a half small rooms.
The yard is quite well cleaned up, and it can be seen that the yard should be full of flowers in the summer.
In early winter, the cold wind was bleak, and there were only some dead branches and leaves left in the yard.
The nanny led the Xu Shiyan brothers and sisters into the door, "Old Chu, the person you have been thinking about is here." ”
As he spoke, he led the two into the living room.
The house is not large, and the two-and-a-half-room small room is both a kitchen and a nanny's residence, so the house is a bit crowded.
It is said that it is a living room, but in fact, it should also be considered a study, the walls are full of bookshelves, and there are all kinds of medical books on them, as well as anatomical diagrams, acupuncture dolls, etc.
Chu Xuanhuai was born in a family of Xinglin, and his ancestors had been imperial doctors.
He was taught by his family elders since he was a child, and he has a deep knowledge in medicine.
However, at that time, the Qing Dynasty was destroyed, the warlords were fighting, and the country was in a state of national danger and internal and external troubles.
Influenced by the atmosphere at the time, Chu Xuanhuai became suspicious of his ancestral medical skills.
He resolutely left home, went out to study, and then crossed the ocean to study Western medicine abroad.
Chu Xuanhuai returned from his studies and was entrusted by his superiors to work in Jinling Drum Tower Hospital, which was secretly our liaison station.
Later, due to work needs, he was transferred to the north and joined North China Medical University to teach.
Eventually, he was transferred to the Northeast and became a professor at Jilin Medical University.
It is also because of his past experience, especially studying abroad and working in enemy-occupied areas.
During that time, he became a key target and was sent to Daying Village for transformation.
After all those years of tossing, the old man's health is not very good.
In the past few years, although I have returned to the provincial capital and been carefully taken care of, I am finally old, and my mental and physical strength are not as good as before, so I can only retire.
At this moment, the old man is sitting at his desk, holding a medical book and flipping through it.
Hearing the nanny's words, he looked up at the door.
Through the lenses, I saw two familiar faces.
"Yo, it's your brother and sister who are here, I haven't seen each other for many years, and their appearance has changed." Chu Lao recognized the Xu Shiyan brothers and sisters, and said with a smile.
"Master, it's me, I've come to see you." Xu Shiyan came to Chu Lao and saluted respectfully.
