Chapter 299 She will only respect Chu's father's decision
Chu Xin could have stopped the old man again, but she didn't. Chu Yunting would not really shut up unless he was hit today.
He has a somewhat weak constitution.
I was still curious about why Mr. Chu suddenly needed to use crutches, and seeing how strong he was, he really didn't need them, so I asked him,
"What do you want to do?"
Mr. Chu walked back and sat down, rubbing his cane in his hand. He felt a little embarrassed when Chu Xin asked about it, but he still said,
"Well, I didn't recognize your dad the last time I came to see him. Oh, you don't know that when I saw him, although he looked healthy, he was very thin..."
As he spoke, Mr. Chu's eyes turned red and his voice choked with sobs.
"He's too thin. I feel sad and guilty looking at him. I'm an old man, but I look stronger than him. How can I have the courage to recognize him?
So, when I saw Old Man Gu’s cane, I came up with a crooked idea…”
Chu Xin was speechless. "So you plan to act weak and gain sympathy?"
Old Master Chu's face flushed a little and he nodded uncomfortably. There was no other way. In order to successfully recognize each other, he had to play some tricks.
At this point, everyone tacitly stopped talking. They could only be more understanding of the old man's painstaking efforts and whether it would succeed or not.
The journey lasted more than 30 hours in total and ended quickly. The train arrived in Tianshui City at night.
After getting off the train, they did not rush to Wulong Commune, mainly because it was inconvenient without a car, so they planned to rest in a guesthouse for one night.
After getting the keys from the waiter and being assigned to our accommodation rooms, no one felt very hungry so they didn't eat anything else. They washed up and quickly rested.
A good night's sleep.
Early in the morning, just as Chu Xin had finished packing, the waiter from the guesthouse came up to look for someone.
"Are you Chu Xin? There's a man named Lu Hu at the door looking for you."
Chu Xin didn't expect Brother Hu to calculate the time so accurately.
Although they had called him before coming to the Northwest, it was still surprising that he came to see them today even though they had just arrived yesterday.
Following the waiter to the front desk, the middle-aged man grinning at her was indeed Brother Hu.
"How did Uncle Huzi know we were here?"
Brother Hu shrugged his heavy military coat and laughed:
"You called me and told me the day you were leaving. Although you didn't specify the exact arrival time, there are only a few buses that go to our place.
I waited outside the train station on time for the daytime bus, and I came to the guesthouse to ask about the nighttime bus. "Won't I be asked about it for two days in a row?"
Chu Xin was very touched. She didn't expect him to be so caring. Her original purpose of calling was just to ask him to find her a place to live.
I didn't expect Brother Tiger to be so concerned about it.
"sorry to trouble you."
Brother Hu glanced at Chu Yunting who was following behind her, and knew that he was probably Chu Xinti's family. The smile on his face became even bigger. He was really happy for Chu Huaimin's family.
"What trouble? It's not a trouble at all. I'm so happy you're here. Your aunt has already cleaned up the house and even dried the quilts for two days straight, just waiting for you!"
Chu Xin also smiled and introduced him to Chu Yunting. After a few greetings, Old Man Chu and Li Xiu also came over.
Even though Mr. Chu was not wearing a military uniform, the solemnity and majesty unique to a soldier made Brother Hu startled, not to mention that there was a young soldier in military uniform carrying luggage following behind him.
It's not that Brother Hu is a coward, it's just his nature and he has no choice. Who made him do those shady business in the black market?
Chu Yunting was cheerful and unassuming, and he wasn't wearing a military uniform, so he didn't notice anything wrong. But at that moment, Brother Hu's mind began to run wild with all sorts of random thoughts.
Chu Xin blinked, walked over to support Mr. Chu, and introduced him to Brother Hu:
"This is my grandfather, a small cadre who is about to retire. Don't be nervous."
Chu Yunting thought it was interesting and agreed with it.
"Yes, yes, don't be nervous. After retirement, he's no different from us. There's nothing to be afraid of."
Li Xiu glared at him helplessly, forgetting the beating he received yesterday.
Although Mr. Chu also noticed that Brother Hu's behavior was abnormal, since Chu Xin was able to introduce him to him without any reservations, he believed that Brother Hu should not be a bad person.
So I laughed in a casual manner,
"That's right! My friend, I'm just an ordinary person. Don't be nervous. We still have to trouble you!"
Brother Hu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression became much more relaxed.
"It's okay, it's okay. Shall we go now?"
Chu Xin found it a little funny that he looked relieved. When he first knew that he was recruited by the Central Special Branch, he had never seen Brother Hu so scared.
"Uncle Huzi, please wait a moment. We need to make a phone call back to Kyoto first."
"Okay, you guys go about your business. I'll help load the luggage onto the car. I'm afraid you two guys will have to sit in the back."
"What grievance? It's not important when you're out and about. Let's pack our luggage now."
Chu Yunting waved his hand nonchalantly and asked the guard to load the goods together and head to the truck outside the guesthouse.
Chu Xin and Old Man Chu went to make a phone call.
Li Xiu consciously did not follow him. She would not listen to a word she shouldn't hear.
After everything was done, Chu Xin and the others had breakfast before getting on the car and heading towards Wulong Commune.
The closer they got to their destination, the tighter Old Man Chu gripped his cane. Chu Xin knew that he was worried that something unexpected would happen when he saw Chu's father, but there was no way to comfort him.
To be cruel, the torture that Mr. Chu is going through now should be considered what he deserves.
Even though she knew that he had been waiting for her to return from Hong Kong City before they could meet, she just wanted to start with her, hoping that she could help him persuade his father.
It’s a pity that Chu Xin won’t do that. She will only respect her father’s decision.
Chu Huaimin never received a single day of fatherly love since he was born, and even his mother's love was short-lived.
He unknowingly recognized the thieves as his parents and struggled to survive under their abuse until he was pushed off a cliff and realized that everything was fake.
When he was trying his best to live a good life, Mr. Chu, his biological father, adopted the spy's child as his own, raised her and married her to a high-ranking official.
In the end, the fake daughter who married a high-ranking official caused her biological children and their entire family to be demoted. Not only did her bright future fall into ruin, but she also indirectly killed the real Chu Xin.
To be honest, if Chu Xin hadn't seen how devastated Chu Huaimin was last time after learning of his brother's death and knew that he still longed for family affection, she probably wouldn't have let Old Man Chu make this trip.
As for planning to spend the New Year here, even if Mr. Chu didn't make this trip, she would still come back, so there would be no conflict.
Now that Mr. Chu is here, no matter the outcome, good or bad, we must not evade what we have to bear.
Brother Hu knew his limits. Seeing that everyone was silent, he did not ask any questions. He only spoke when he got to the commune.
"It's winter now, there's basically nothing to do, and the farm management isn't as strict as before. You can go there and see people directly.
Do you want to go to my house first, or should I take you directly to the farm?"
Only Mr. Chu can make this decision.
The old man tightened and loosened his grip on the cane, and after hesitating for a long time, he said:
"Let's go to the farm. Comrade, please take us to the farm!"
It is better to suffer a short pain than a long one. We will meet again sooner or later.
