Chapter 231 Old Chu

Under Xu Shiyan's exaggerated and artificial howl, everyone's eyes on the brother and sister had changed from suspicion to sympathy and pity.

People like them can survive even if they lose some money and things. How can these two brothers be so poor? What will they do in the future?

Everyone shook their heads and sighed, and returned to their seats.

Xu Shiyan howled twice more, and then under the persuasion of others, he returned to his seat with a sad face.

Just at this time, the train arrived at another station, a few people got off, and then a large group of people came up.

When Xu Shiyan saw it, he quickly asked Xu Shiqin to sit next to him, making room for those who came up behind him.

The brother and sister stood next to each other and talked quietly.

"Brother, you are really good, you can pretend to be anything?

When you did that just now, you looked exactly like Chen Deyong."

Xu Shiqin lowered his head and did not dare to raise it, muttering in a low voice.

"Well, I just learned from her.

It doesn't work like this. Didn't you see that several people in the carriage lost money and things? It must have been the person last night who did it.

If I don't come here, they will doubt us."

There is no other way. In order not to arouse suspicion, you have to make a big show.

Although it was a bit exaggerated and looked like a fool, the effect was quite good and Xu Shiyan was very satisfied.

As for those who have lost money and things, they do not deserve anyone's sympathy.

Nowadays, it is very chaotic outside. I don’t even have this awareness when I go out. I can fall asleep on the train. I deserve it if I lose something.

Xu Shiyan is not anyone's parent, so he has no obligation to help them catch the thief.

So what? If he was injured while catching a thief last night, how many of these people could help him?

You should have a kind heart, but if you don't understand the situation, you can't distinguish the situation and send out kind thoughts indiscriminately. If you don't make a mistake, your life will be ruined.

It can be said that he is selfish, but first, he must be responsible for himself and his loved ones.

This is the responsibility of a son, a husband, and a father. He will never be reckless and risk his life for irrelevant people.

There were many people in the car, so the two of them didn't continue talking, they just stared with their eyes closed.

There were a lot of people coming up at the next two stops. There were no seats on the bus and many people were standing.

At 7:30 in the morning, the train pulled into the terminal station, Changchun Station.

Brother and sister Xu Shiyan carried their luggage and followed the crowd calmly out of the station.

I went outside and asked an older person for directions to Bethune Medical University.

Mr. Chu previously wrote in a letter that he lived in the faculty and staff family area of ​​the Medical University.

It's also very close to the Affiliated Hospital, where Qi Yunsheng is also currently interning.

Following the instructions, the two brothers and sister got on the bus and went straight to the Medical University Station on Xinmin Street.

When they got here, the two of them didn't go looking for anyone directly. Instead, they first found a hotel nearby and booked a double room with the letter of introduction from the brigade.

The brother and sister brought too much money and could not live with others. Even if they spent more money, they had to get a separate room.

Most of the tourists who live nearby come with their families to see the doctor, so the hotel will also take care of these.

The staff didn't make it difficult for the Xu Shiyan brothers and sisters, and arranged a room for them simply.

The two of them put away their luggage, each changed into some clothes, and locked the door with their money.

After coming out of the hotel, follow the address written in Mr. Chu's letter and go straight to the family area.

Mr. Chu is already seventy-six years old. He no longer held the actual position in the past two years, but became the honorary principal and honorary dean.

Now that the research team has overcome the difficulties, Mr. Chu doesn't even have students with him anymore. He just sorts out medical records at home and reads books.

Xu Shiyan took the letter and went from house to house according to the address on the letter. He really didn't understand it, so he asked someone on the road.

In the provincial capital in early November, it was warmer than in Donggang. The brother and sister still dressed according to the temperature at home, but even after walking around for a while they became hot and sweaty.

Fortunately, he finally found Mr. Chu's home, and Xu Shiyan quickly stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Who are you looking for?"

A woman in her forties came out to open the door. When she saw the Xu Shiyan brother and sister, she asked with confusion.

"Hello, is this the home of Mr. Chu Xuanhuai?

We came from Fusong, especially to visit the old man." Xu Shiyan knew that this person was Mr. Chu's nanny.

Mr. Chu's wife died of illness when she had an accident. In order to avoid suspicion, their two sons drew a clear line with Mr. Chu and were sent to other places.

Later, Mr. Chu was taken back to the provincial capital to resume work. The two sons had already taken root elsewhere and never returned to the Northeast.

So Mr. Chu has lived alone these years. The nanny was arranged by the school to take care of Mr. Chu's daily life.

As soon as she heard that she was from Fusong, the nanny immediately laughed.

"I know, I know, your surname is Xu, right? Mr. Chu always talks about it. He also said yesterday that you might come recently. Please come in."

Mr. Chu must have given instructions in advance, so the nanny had a very good attitude and politely let the Xu Shiyan brothers and sisters into the small courtyard.

The houses in the family area are not big.

Although Mr. Chu has a very high level, he is alone and doesn't care much about external conditions, so he just has a small courtyard and two and a half small rooms.

The yard is well kept, and it can be seen that it should be full of flowers in summer.

In early winter, the cold wind was blowing, and there were only some dead branches and leaves left in the yard.

The nanny led Xu Shiyan's brother and sister in, "Mr. Chu, the person you have been thinking about is here."

As he spoke, he led the two of them into the living room.

The house is not large, and the two and a half small rooms are both the kitchen and the nanny's quarters, so the house is a bit crowded.

It is said to be a living room, but in fact it should be considered a study. The walls are all covered with bookshelves, with various medical books on them, as well as anatomy diagrams, acupuncture dolls and the like.

Chu Xuanhuai was born in the Xinglin family, and some of her ancestors were imperial doctors.

He has been taught by his family elders since he was a child and has gained profound knowledge in medicine.

However, at that time, the Qing Dynasty was destroyed, warlords were fighting, and the country was in a precarious situation of national peril, internal and external troubles.

Affected by the prevailing customs at that time, Chu Xuanhuai had doubts about the medical skills passed down from his ancestors.

He left home resolutely and went out to study, and later traveled across the ocean to study Western medicine abroad.

Chu Xuanhuai returned from school and was entrusted by her superiors to work at Jinling Drum Tower Hospital. She was secretly our liaison station.

Later, due to work needs, he was transferred to the north and taught at North China Medical University.

Eventually he was transferred to Northeast China and became a professor at Jilin Medical University.

It is precisely because of past experiences, especially studying abroad and working in enemy-occupied areas.

During those days, he became a key target and was sent to Daying Village for reform.

After all those years of hard work, the old man's health was not in good condition.

Although I returned to the provincial capital in the past few years and was taken good care of by someone, after all, I was getting older and my mental and physical strength were not as good as before, so I had no choice but to retire.

At this moment, the old man was sitting at his desk, flipping through a medical book.

Hearing the nanny's words, he raised his head and glanced at the door.

Through the lens, I saw two familiar faces.

"Hey, it's you brothers and sisters who are here. We haven't seen each other for many years, and your appearance has changed." Mr. Chu recognized the Xu Shiyan brother and sister and said with a smile.

"Master, it's me, I'm here to see you." Xu Shiyan came to Mr. Chu and bowed respectfully.
