When they arrived at the Hunan restaurant, Xia Jinhe ordered a table of dishes, and they ate happily.
Naturally, the topic was led to Chu Chu. Lu Yiwei said, "Have you been to County Zhang's house recently?"
Xia Jinhe put down his chopsticks and said sadly, "Yes, I have persuaded Chu Chu's mother several times, but she doesn't agree with our treatment method. She is afraid that Chu Chu will go to a strange place and can't eat or sleep well. If we don't take good care of her, her condition will be aggravated. Alas! Poor parents all over the world. Chu Chu is a little better than before. At least she has endless words to say after seeing me, but she is still hostile to her parents, which can't be solved for a while. "
Lu Yiwei was nervous and continued to ask, "Does Chu Chu's mother know about County Zhang?"
"She should know."
The two of them were silent for a long time.
After a long time, Lu Yiwei said, "I came here today mainly to pick up Chu Chu. You will go with me later and persuade Xie Yufen by all means! "
"Okay!"
After dinner, they went to Zhang Zhiyuan's house together. It was Xie Yufen who opened the door. After seeing them, she did not show too much excitement. On the contrary, she was very calm and said lightly, "You are here. Come in."
When Chuchu heard that Xia Jinhe had come, she flew out like a little swallow. She pulled Xia Jinhe into her room and then closed the door with a bang.
Lu Yiwei stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to do.
"Yiwei, sit down!" Xie Yufen said weakly.
After sitting down, Lu Yiwei summoned up his courage and said, "Sister, County Zhang will be fine. You must hold on. If you collapse at this time, the family will be broken."
Xie Yufen's attitude was beyond Lu Yiwei's expectations. She said coldly, "I don't care what happens to him. When it comes to politics, there will always be struggles. Today, it's either you or him. Every dog has its day. It's impossible for anyone to sit stably for the rest of their lives. I know Zhiyuan's character better than anyone else. If he's a corrupt official, then there are no good officials in the world. I've been with them for more than ten years. Other than some benefits when I was at the Transportation Bureau, I didn't see anything when I arrived at Nanyang County. So, I don't worry about him unless I'm purposely messing with him. He still has Secretary Guo's support. Don't worry, he will be fine. "
Lu Yiwei had seen strong women, but he had never seen such a calm woman. He couldn't help but look at Xie Yufen in a new light.
Xie Yufen continued, "What I'm most worried about now is Chu Chu. As long as she's fine, I don't care about anything else. Even if Zhang Zhiyuan is locked up, I won't say anything. Sigh! "
Lu Yiwei said anxiously, "Sister-in-law, Jinhe and I came here today for Chu Chu. I hope you can reconsider our plan. Chu Chu really can't be delayed any longer. She has missed the golden period of her studies. If it's delayed again, it may be delayed for the rest of her life. "
Xie Yufen said sadly, "I understand what you're saying, but I'm afraid that this kind of treatment will backfire. Now, our family is so poor that we don't even have the money to buy medicine. Besides, it's too troublesome for your parents to go to your house. It's better for me to take care of her. "
Lu Yiwei had mixed feelings in his heart. He said, "Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about the money to buy medicine. I'll pay for it! My family has already agreed. You can rest assured. When we get to the countryside, let Chu Chu come into contact with nature. Maybe she will get better soon. "
At this time, Chu Chu rushed out of the bedroom and said, "I'm willing to go!"
Xie Yufen still didn't say anything. Chu Chu was so anxious that she was about to cry.
Xia Jinhe said, "Sister-in-law, how about this. You go with Chu Chu, and you can also go out to relax."
Xie Yufen hesitated. Xia Jinhe continued, "If you're really worried, you can go and have a look first. If you're satisfied, you can stay. If you're not satisfied, just pretend that nothing happened. What do you think?"
Under Lu Yiwei and Xia Jinhe's repeated persuasion, Xie Yufen finally agreed to go and have a look first. Xia Jinhe felt that it was inconvenient to communicate with a man like Lu Yiwei, so he asked for leave and went to Nanyang County.
After staying at their home in the county town for a while, the whole family went to Guyang Village. Along the way, Zhang Xiaochu was very excited. She climbed on the window and looked left and right, asking questions from time to time. For a city girl, everything in the countryside was novel.
When they arrived home, her mother, Liu Cuilan, had already cleaned up the room and changed the bedsheets. She even took out the quilt that she was reluctant to use during their wedding to entertain the distinguished guests. In addition, she also carefully bought some girl's necessities, which made Xie Yufen feel very touched.
There was a small river opposite Lu Yiwei's house. Chuchu couldn't wait to run to the river, scooped up a puddle of water, and gulped it down.
Lu Yiwei said, "Our village still maintains its original flavor. The natural environment has not been destroyed, and the spring water at the entrance is not polluted. Moreover, there are very few people here. If Chuchu lives here for a while, her mood will definitely be different."
Xie Yufen had already made a decision in her heart. "I'm quite satisfied with everything here, but I'm sorry to trouble you."
Liu Cuilan hurriedly said, "It's not troublesome. Don't worry, I promise to treat Chuchu as my own daughter. If there's anything wrong, you can look for me."
Xie Yufen was moved by the simple and warm family. Her original concerns were completely dispelled, and she decided to let Chuchu stay on the spot. Chuchu had long had enough of this prison-like family, and was very determined to stay here.
After the arrangements were made, Lu Yiwei returned to Bei Zhou City to fetch Chuchu's daily necessities and medicine. After Xie Yufen repeatedly reminded her, she reluctantly left.
After all, Chuchu was a patient, so Liu Cuilan was extra careful when taking care of her. She was afraid that any mistakes would bring irreparable harm to the child. She told Lu Yiwei to go to the county town and buy a large bathtub for Chuchu to use for bathing.
After a busy day, Lu Yiwei felt like he was about to fall apart. However, he was still gratified to see that Chuchu was full of unlimited expectations for her new life in the future. During the time Zhang Zhiyuan was away, Lu Yiwei wanted to do as much as possible for him. It could also be considered as doing his bit.
At night, Lu Yiwei slept on the same kang with his family. This was the first time he had slept with his family since high school, and he couldn't help but feel emotional. He still remembered when he was a child, Lu Yiwei and his sister would have pillow fights on the kang at night. They had a lot of fun until their parents slapped them on the buttocks, and they would lie in bed unwillingly. In winter, Lu Yiwei liked to sit on the kang and eat roasted sweet potatoes. The taste made him want to eat. However, time could not be turned back, and all that remained in his heart were memories.
"Yiwei, have you gone to see Xiao Yu recently?" Liu Cuilan thought of her granddaughter when she saw Chuchu, and her heart was extremely sad.
Lu Yiwei tilted his head to the side and said, "I went to see her some time ago, but I've been busy recently and haven't had time to see her."
"You go tomorrow!" Lu Weiguo said sternly in a muffled voice, and fiercely put out the cigarette in his hand.
"Sigh!" Liu Cuilan sighed hopelessly. At this moment, she did not nag, but silently shed tears filled with longing and concern.
The night in the countryside was quiet. Outside the window, there were only a few dogs barking and toads croaking in the small river. If one listened carefully, one could also hear the sound of fish jumping into the water, carefree and free. But the person lying on the kang couldn't fall asleep.
How could Lu Yiwei not miss his daughter! If he reflected on himself, he really was not a qualified father. He did not give her much fatherly love since she was a child, and now Xiao Yu was growing up day by day. He was very afraid that his daughter would hate him when she grew up in the future. Lu Yiwei did not dare to think about it.
How cruel and helpless it was for a man to be troubled by family, love, and career. Who didn't want to live a simple life? But life was filled with problems after problems and contradictions after contradictions. Day by day, one waxes and the other waxes and wanes, year by year. Like the red silk grass on the wall, it did not have a coquettish appearance, nor did it have a charming figure. It silently stayed in the corner of the wall, relying on its tenacious vitality to climb up step by step. When it rode on the top of the wall and saw the tragic sunset, it had completed its life mission and realized the value of life. Isn't life like this?
The next morning, Lu Weiguo and Liu Cuilan got up early. Lu Yiwei stayed in bed for a while, got up to brush his teeth and wash his face. When he went to the next room to observe Chu Chu's movement, Chu Chu happened to open the door and smiled at Lu Yiwei.
"Chu Chu, did you sleep well last night?"
Zhang Xiaochu closed her eyes and took a deep breath, then stretched out and said, "this is the most peaceful night I've slept in so many years. It's so comfortable!"
Chu Chu was happy, and Lu Yiwei's heart fell. He said with a smile, "as long as you like it. After dinner, let my father take you to the mountain to play. Now there are many small wild fruits on the mountain, which are very delicious."
"Really?" Chu Chu opened her eyes wide and said, "OK, OK, let's go now." In Chu Chu's eyes, everything was so novel.
Lu Yiwei said, "my parents have gone to work in the field. They will be back in a minute. Don't worry!"
Lu Yiwei saw that Chu Chu was still wrapped up tightly, revealing only a small part of his face, and said, "Chu Chu, there are very few people living here. In fact, you can take off your heavy coat and feel nature. Nature is friendly. As long as you get close to it, it will treat you gently. "
Chu Chu's small eyes rolled, and she covered the scar on her neck with her hands in horror. She didn't want others to see her privacy and laugh at her.
Lu Yiwei didn't force her. After all, some things need to be done slowly. He handed the MP3 player he bought yesterday to Chu Chu and said, "if you have nothing to do, you can go to the river, wear headphones and listen to music."
Chu Chu curiously took the MP3, couldn't wait to put it on, and ran to the river.
