Chapter 19 - Visiting Relatives
After speaking with Lin Xuan, Chu Ling never met him again.
And one day, when Han Gu came home for dinner on time, he was startled. He bit his face and watched the man take off his shoes and enter the door, "You... get off work?"
"Well, I'm done for now."
"I didn't know you were so early today, did you eat?"
"not yet."
After hearing this, Chu Ling hurriedly got up to help Han Gu get food, but thinking that it would take some time to re-cook it, he blurted out and asked, "Do you want to take a bath first, or eat first?"
After he said the words, he thought that this seemed to be something that a standard newlywed wife would say on TV, and his face was inexplicably hot.
Han Gu wondered if he thought of going to the same place, laughed and said, "Take a shower first."
Chu Ling went to the kitchen to get something with red ears.
When Han Gu came out of the shower, there was already a bowl of fragrant noodles on the dining table. Chu Ling had already finished eating, but he still sat and watched him eat.
Han Gu said, "I'm free recently. Let's take a vacation. Let's go out for a walk together."
Chu Ling was stunned for a moment, "Why did you suddenly think of it?"
"It's not sudden, I thought about it before, but I don't have any special place to go by myself."
Chu Ling looked at Han Gu silently, and suddenly remembered that he had lived by himself all these years, and he still knew too little about him.
"Not available?"
"That's not true." Chu Ling thought about it, but couldn't help but ask, "Don't you have any friends you can hang out with?"
"No." Han Gu paused before saying, "I'm too busy with work."
As soon as I heard it, I knew it was an excuse. Chu Ling didn't break it either, and asked again, "I didn't...have anyone I liked before?"
"No. You know about me." Han Gu said, "I didn't plan on getting married."
Chu Ling was stunned, and did not ask any more questions.
Han Gu returned to the original topic and asked, "Is there any place you want to go?"
Chu Ling didn't really want to go anywhere. When he was with Lin Xuan before, the vacation time was almost staggered, and the two of them were busy with each other, so he was quite used to this kind of life. But he didn't intend to spoil the fun, and said casually, "Go to the beach. You don't have to go abroad specially, it's just that I haven't seen the sea for a long time."
Consultant Han: "Do you like the seaside?"
"That's it."
"Okay." Han Gu nodded, "I'll tell you when I arrange it."
"Yeah." Chu Ling couldn't help feeling a little funny seeing that Han Gu even went out with such a business attitude. He should need to go out more than himself.
However, plans have not kept pace with the changes. The day before the two set off, Chu Ling received a call from home, saying that Dad Chu fell down the stairs at home and is now in the hospital. The plan to go to the beach was all in vain. Chu Ling had to go back to his hometown. His hometown was far away in a remote village in the mountains. It would take about four or five hours to drive. Said he wanted to go too.
Although the two were not married yet, Chu Ling's parents were aware of the fact that they were tagged and even living together. It was just that the situation was very rough at that time, so the two sides never met each other. The subtle meaning of going to see the future father-in-law and mother-in-law.
But Chu Ling still felt a little uneasy. It wasn't because he was worried about what his parents would do to Han Gu. Although they didn't read much, they were quite enlightened people. As long as Chu Ling had a good life, they wouldn't worry too much; What worries me is the gossip of those around. He and Lin Xuan grew up in the same city and went to the same high school. At the beginning, their love was very high-profile, almost everyone in the village knew about it, and there was no doubt that they would eventually get married. If I find out now that that person is not Lin Xuan, I don't know what will happen...
Han Gu noticed that Chu Ling had been silent for a long time, and asked, "Are you worried about me?"
"Well." Thinking from another angle, it's actually not wrong.
"Don't worry." Han Gu said, "The worst is over."
Chu Ling was stunned for a moment, and felt that his mood was a bit complicated, but he, who needed comfort, was comforted.
After they simply packed their luggage, they set off for Chu Ling's hometown early the next morning.
Except when he was at home, Chu Ling hardly ever saw Han Gu wearing a suit for going out. The big boss's aura was reduced, but he felt more like a social elite, and he actually packed things by himself.
Chu Ling couldn't help but ask: "Do you want to drive by yourself?"
"Well, it's convenient." Han Gu thought for a while, and then asked, "Do you want a driver to drive on your behalf?"
Chu Ling imagined the scene. When he went to a rural place, there was a driver behind him. Thinking about it, he thought it was too ostentatious, so he shook his head and said, "No."
"Let's go then."
"Well..." Chu Ling thought for a while, "Can I go to the hospital first?"
"Okay."
The car drove all the way to the destination, and because of the rush, there was no delay on the way. Even so, driving all the way from the city to the countryside, the surrounding scenery is pleasant and still makes people feel comfortable. Chu Ling couldn't remember how long he hadn't gone out. For various reasons, coupled with the troubles in the past six months, he hardly had time to think about other things. Now he was busy, but instead let him relax a little.
The two were quiet in the car, rarely talking, but the atmosphere was not awkward at all. The radio in the car was broadcasting the road conditions, and occasionally a few light music was played, but it seemed like a real journey.
Chu Ling listened to music all the way, fell asleep all the way, and finally arrived at the hospital at noon.
They didn't go to eat first, but first went to the ward to visit Dad Chu. Dad Chu was fine, just fractured, and he was waiting for a follow-up examination. It's just that it's remote and the population is small. There is only one hospital in a radius of hundreds of miles. The equipment is limited. In everything, the patients with severe and acute diseases must be given priority, so it's not a big fuss to wait for a day or two. Chu Ling had long been used to it, and probably guessed what he was going to ask him to do when he came back this time.
On the contrary, it was a bit awkward for the two sides to meet for the first time, but they greeted each other politely. Chu Ling's attitude was natural, and as a parent, there was nothing to say.
After the visit, Mother Chu asked them to eat first, and then go back to their hometown directly.
Han Gu also felt a little strange.
Chu Ling said with a smile: "What do you think they called me back all the way, of course, to pick up my dad's work. Feeding chickens, ducks, pigs, and farming, none of them can escape. "
