Lin Shilang Gu

Mr. Liu raised his head and occasionally glanced at Gu Yanqiu who was sitting behind him in the rearview mirror.

Employers' information and requirements are kept confidential, which is an industry rule. Mr. Liu first received her request eight months ago, with no clues to offer, just a name and a recent photo.

It turned out that the name Gu Yanqiu gave her was fake, and only one of the three characters was correct. With this photo, he searched from north to south, and finally found her hometown in a county in the central and southern parts of the country.

Gu Yanqiu stayed in one of the most upscale hotels in the county, a small place, a 20-minute drive from her grandmother's—if she was real—the nursing home. Mr. Liu gave her some photos, which he took in the nursing home.

My grandmother's surname is Gao, a very ordinary old lady. According to her age, she should be in her early seventies this year, her hair is all white, she is very old, and the folds on her face are so deep that a fly can be caught. Gu Yanqiu tried to find something similar to her mother on her face, but unfortunately he couldn't find anything.

In the evening, she had a phone call with Lin Yuewei. Lin Yuewei asked her how she was doing at the old man's house and whether she had prepared gifts. Gu Yanqiu chatted with her about gifts. 's photo, compared with her mother's photo.

"If you confirm the time tomorrow, let me know and I'll pick you up at the airport." Lin Yuewei said.

"Aren't you busy?" Gu Yanqiu temporarily pressed the photo and looked away.

"On Sundays, other people also have a holiday. I study the script at home, so I'm not too busy."

"I'll tell you when I'm sure."

"go to bed early."

"You too."

"Good night."

"Good night."

hang up the phone.

The closer he got to the truth of the matter, Gu Yanqiu thought that he would be more nervous and psychologically stressed, so he tied his hands at night, but when he woke up the next morning, he found that nothing happened last night. She has been kept in the dark for so long, and she has no timid feelings towards the truth, but can't wait.

Mr. Liu got up early enough, and Gu Yanqiu was earlier than him. The two of them ate breakfast and went to the nursing home early.

The formalities were done before. Mr. Liu took Gu Yanqiu to meet a receptionist here, a middle-aged woman in her forties. Gu Yanqiu shook hands with the other party: "Director Fang."

Director Fang pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and spoke with a local accent in Mandarin: "Are you the granddaughter of Grandma Gao?"

Gu Yanqiu nodded.

Director Fang looked at Mr. Liu on the side and led her forward: "Come with me."

Director Fang talked to her while walking, Gu Yanqiu listened carefully, there were some words she couldn't understand. Her mother's Mandarin does not have any accent. If she has to speak it, she has lived in the north for a long time and naturally has Yanning's accent, which makes it more difficult to find her hometown.

Director Fang said that Mrs. Gao was brought in by a strong-aged man a few years ago. At that time, her husband, Gu's mother's father, had already passed away. Mrs. Gao's physical and mental conditions were not very good. living on the subsistence allowances, life is very difficult.

Gu Yanqiu frowned upon hearing this.

Her mother doesn't seem to be an unfilial person, how could she let her parents fall into such a field?

Mr. Liu mentioned it a little in the email to her, but it was all piecemeal news, and there was no key clue to connect it completely.

Mr. Liu asked, "Didn't you tell me before that Ms. Shen has been here a few times? It's the person in the photo I gave you, you've seen it."

Gu Yanqiu's mother's real name is Shen Huaiyu, Yu, Meiyu. The person who named her hoped that she had a beautiful heart and a good character.

Gu Yanqiu raised his eyes to look at Director Fang.

Director Fang nodded and said, "Yes, she has been here. Since the year Mrs. Gao entered the nursing home, she has come back to visit about once every six months. The old lady is old and has Alzheimer's disease. Sometimes she doesn't know her, and every time she comes, she will bring a lot of gifts, give a lot of money, and tell us to take good care of the old lady." Director Fang rubbed his hands together, said "hi", and said, "We are a public nursing home. Even if she doesn't explain it, we are all treated equally."

Gu Yanqiu smiled, noncommittal.

Just listen to this kind of polite words, how can she not know the tricks of these places?

Gu Yanqiu suddenly narrowed his eyes and asked, "Whenever she comes, is she alone or two?"

"Let me think about it." Director Fang said with a thoughtful look, "Not alone, there is a middle-aged man beside her, but that man basically doesn't accompany her in."

Gu Yanqiu took out his mobile phone, found a photo from the album, and handed the mobile phone to Director Fang.

Director Fang looked at it for a moment and affirmed: "It's him."

Gu Yanqiu took back the phone.

The person who accompanied her mother was Gu Huai, but why didn't Gu Huai go in?

Director Fang led her around a corner, pointed to the old lady in front of her who was sitting in a wheelchair and basking in the sun with her head raised, bowed slightly and said, "Miss Gu, that is the old lady Gao."

Just as Gu Yanqiu was about to walk forward, Director Fang stopped her: "That's right, Miss Gu."

Gu Yanqiu: "What's wrong?"

Director Fang paused and reminded: "In the past, your mother was in a bad mood every time she saw Mrs. Gao, and her eyes were sometimes red. I don't think it was because of ordinary things. Be careful, the old lady will hands-on."

Gu Yanqiu frowned slightly and thanked Director Fang: "I will be careful."

Director Fang looked around and said, "Then I..."

Gu Yanqiu made a gesture of invitation: "Go and do your business."

Director Fang said: "If you have something to shout, I can hear it."

Gu Yanqiu nodded, and Mr. Liu followed Director Fang away.

Gu Yanqiu walked slowly into the old man who was related to her by blood. Mrs. Gao looked a little younger than in the photo, but only a little bit. She raised her head, her mouth was slightly open, and her face was filled with anger. If it wasn't for the slight ups and downs of her chest, Gu Yanqiu would almost suspect that she had...

The old man was afraid of the cold, so he had already put on two or three pieces of clothes before the fall. Gu Yanqiu looked at the clothes and recognized that it was a famous brand. The nursing home would not be so extravagant as to buy brand-name clothes for the elderly. It could only be bought for her by Shen Huaiyu. .

Gu Yanqiu squatted down in front of Mrs. Gao, and slowly held the other's skinny hand covered with age spots. The blue veins on the back of the old man's hand were bulging and jumping. Slowly, he lowered his head and stared at her. .

Even though she didn't have any emotion in her eyes and just looked at it, Gu Yanqiu felt a familiar, natural connection between blood relatives in her eyes.

"Grandma." Gu Yanqiu's eyes turned red.

The old lady Gao tilted her head, her eyes only stayed on her face for a moment, then she looked at the ivy on the house not far away, and continued to be in a daze.

"Grandma, do you still remember Shen Huaiyu?"

"..."

"I'm Shen Huaiyu's daughter, your granddaughter, look at me."

"..."

Mrs. Gao was moved by her fingers in her palm, Gu Yanqiu showed hope, but Mrs. Gao pulled out her hand without reluctance, turned the wheelchair, pressed the wheel with her hand, and slowly pushed it forward. , shouted tremblingly: "Xiaofang, Xiaofang, Xiaofang..."

Xiaofang is the name of the nurse, Director Fang told Gu Yanqiu before. Gu Yanqiu pressed his fingers on the wet corners of his eyes, walked up to the old lady again, and said with a smile, "I'm Xiaofang, what do you want to do?"

"Noisy..." The old lady could only spit out short words.

"Okay, I told her not to speak."

The old lady continued to bask in the sun on her own, while Gu Yanqiu squatted and massaged her calf gently.

When the old lady's mood stabilized a little, the corners of her mouth showed a serene smile, and she would whisper to her, although it was only some incomprehensible words. Gu Yanqiu took out the photo of her mother that she had prepared a long time ago from her close-fitting pocket, sent it to the old lady, and asked softly, "Grandma, do you know this person?"

Mrs. Gao took the photo with great effort and looked at it carefully.

Gu Yanqiu pursed her lips tightly, waiting for her reaction.

***

Mr. Liu first heard the screams from the backyard, called Director Fang, and the two ran over together.

"Director Fang!" Gu Yanqiu, who has always been calm, covered one cheek and called out to Director Fang in a panic, while the old lady Gao, who was quiet at first, has completely fried the pot at this moment. Without expressing any expression, the other side of his face was extremely ferocious and twisted, his lips and teeth that could not be clearly expressed were trembling, and an angry "ho ho" sound came from his throat, his thin fingers pointed at Gu Yanqiu, his body swayed. , trembling like a candle in the wind.

"Get off—" she was hysterical, "you get off—"

Doudou-sized tears rolled out from her long-dried eyes, and she said hoarsely: "Go away—"

Mrs. Gao's emotions were out of control, Director Fang hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her, and loudly asked the nurse to call the doctor, while Mr. Liu dragged Gu Yanqiu, who was standing still, and quickly left here.

"Are you all right?" Mr. Liu looked at the red and swollen fingerprints on the left side of her face. Half of the old lady's body was buried in the ground, and she could beat people like this. It seemed that she was really angry. What kind of deep hatred .

"It's okay, thank you." Gu Yanqiu took the wet towel he handed over, pressed it on his face, and waved at him with the back of his hand facing him.

"Call me for something." Mr. Liu brought the door of Director Fang's office, and Gu Yanqiu temporarily rested here for a while.

After Mr. Liu left, Gu Yanqiu seemed to have lost all his strength in an instant and buried his face in his palm.

Lin Yuewei was reading the script at home. Jiang Congbi, who was worrying, urged her to go out to eat. Lin Yuewei took the time to recharge and didn't want to go out at all. Jiang Congbi tempted her with food, but Lin Yuewei was not fooled at all. Knowing a good shop from her, I thought that Gu Yanqiu could take her to try it when he came back.

She originally wanted to send a message to Gu Yanqiu, but the other party might not be able to reply in time, and she wanted to hear Gu Yanqiu's voice. Gu Yanqiu is at a relative's house, so it is estimated that there is nothing too important to disturb her too much. She finished her ideological work and called Gu Yanqiu with peace of mind.

It kept ringing until it was almost over before picking up.

Lin Yuewei happily shared the food with her, but Gu Yanqiu's attitude was indifferent, and he only gave a soft "um".

"What's wrong with you?" Lin Yuewei's smile gradually disappeared.

"It's nothing." Gu Yanqiu took a piece of paper from the paper drawer on the table and wiped his face.

"Gu Yanqiu."

"It's really okay." Gu Yanqiu took a deep breath. Since she was an adult, she has cried no more than three times in total, and Lin Yuewei bumped into it twice. What a coincidence.

"Are you crying again? I heard it."

Gu Yanqiu: "..."

What does it mean to cry again? It's like she likes to cry. Is she such an image in Lin Yuewei's heart now? Gu Yanqiu had a sense of disillusionment about himself.

Lin Yuewei was too lazy to talk to her: "Send me a location."

Gu Yanqiu: "I'm really fine, I just played with a few bear children, I'm angry."

Lin Yuewei: "Are you crying?"

Gu Yanqiu: "...Well."

"Either you are three years old or I am three years old, I will believe the reason you said." Lin Yuewei said in a tone that could not be rejected, "I will give you three seconds and tell me the address, otherwise I will follow you. Break up, no no no, you forget this sentence, I mean, I will be angry with you for several days."

Lin Yuewei's momentum collapsed in an instant, and he used a suddenly raised voice to forcibly hold his respect, and said fiercely: "Also, don't want to sleep with me at night! Go sleepwalking by yourself!"

Gu Yanqiu: "..."

Three seconds later, Lin Yuewei received the address reported by Gu Yanqiu.

The author has something to say: Lin Yuewei: Yeah! Plan pass!

Although he lost Lin Gong's dignity, he managed to arrive at the address~

In the future, all the levels will be passed by the two of you together. I guess you will be worried about the abuse, but there is no way, cookie, trust me =w=
