The golden elevator door opened, and a nurse pushed a wheelchair out of it. Next to the nurse was a young man in the same uniform, holding a small tray in his hand and a tiger-headed cane in the other.
There was an old man sitting in the wheelchair. The old man had gray hair, but he was meticulously combed, and his facial features were deep. It could be seen that his face when he was young must be very attractive to girls.
Even if he is old now, if it is not for the gray hair, he does not look old.
He was wearing a modified Chinese suit with a pair of gold-wire glasses on the bridge of his nose.
The old man looked down at the puppy. He laughed and teased the puppy. He looked gentle and gentle, but his voice was majestic and powerful, "Lucky, where have you gone?"
The white Schnauzer kept spinning in circles around the wheelchair, making a cry of "oooooooooo", aggrieved and anxious. The little tail was like a helicopter, and it seemed that it would be able to go to the sky with more force.
The carer behind him took the leash out of his pocket, put the leash on Lucky, and scratched his chin.
Lucky bit the leash dissatisfied and let out a "snoring" sound.
The young man leaned down slightly and said to the old man in the wheelchair, "Master, these two children brought Lucky back."
Song Qiaoxi and Chu Jin were standing a few meters away from their group. She looked at the old man in a wheelchair and thought that this grandfather looked kind.
The old man beckoned to the person beside him. The young man in uniform handed him the crutches. The old man supported the crutches to stand up from the wheelchair and walked slowly to Song Qiaoxi and Chu Jin.
Only then did she realize that this grandfather was so tall that he couldn't tell from sitting just now, but when he stood up, the grandfather in front of him was taller than his father.
"Thank you for helping me find Lucky. Zheming said that it is inconvenient for you to come to my house, so I have to come down and thank you personally."
The old man nodded to them, even if the crutches supported his body, he was standing tall and straight.
He smiled and continued: "You two have a good sense of security. You know that you can't go to a stranger's house. Your parents are very good at educating you. But don't worry, grandpa is not a bad person. I live on the 16th floor."
Saying that, the old man stretched out his hand to Chu Jin, "The property said that you live in Building No. 7 opposite, then we are neighbors, so let's get to know each other, my surname is Chu, my name is Youhe, the blessing of Chengtianzhiyou, why not? For what."
Hearing the tall old man say his own name, Song Qiaoxi stared at Chu Jin with wide eyes, and unconsciously grabbed the corner of Chu Jin's clothes.
This grandfather is really the central figure in the "gossip" of the wealthy family in the capital, according to Uncle Zhao, the head of the Chu family, Chu Youhe? !
Probably, not the same name...
Just as she was struggling, Chu Jin pulled her back with one hand, letting Song Qiaoxi stand at the back.
He and Mr. Chu nodded and shook hands politely, "Hello, it's inconvenient to tell you our names. We have received your thanks."
Seeing that Chu Jin quickly retracted her hand, Song Qiaoxi pursed her lips, raised her head and smiled at Old Master Chu. She was not afraid of this grandfather, but she was a little shocked.
They actually met Chu Youhe, not only did they meet, but they also happened to pick up his dog
After listening to Chu Jin's words, Old Man Chu didn't seem angry at all, smiled meaningfully, turned his head to look at Song Qiaoxi, and asked her kindly, "What's wrong, little sister looks so afraid of me, grandpa looks very good Is it scary? Your brother is very vigilant and wants to learn from his brother."
"Hello grandpa, I'm not afraid of you. He is not my brother, but my best friend. We grew up together."
Song Qiaoxi stuck out her tongue and talked to Old Master Chu.
She thought this grandfather was very kind and funny, and he didn't have any airs at all.
His legs and feet are inconvenient, and he made a special trip to get off in a wheelchair, just to thank her and Chu Jin for retrieving the dog. Song Qiaoxi has a good impression on the old man Chu, and thinks this grandfather is a very affectionate person who treats the dog so much. Be mindful.
Because Chu Jin joked about her several times before, so that she should not think about the episodes in the TV series "God's Blood" every day, and "finding grandpa" for Chu Jin, Song Qiaoxi has long been concerned about it.
"Haha, so they are good friends. Seeing how close you are, I thought you two were brothers and sisters, but you really don't look alike." The old man Chu smiled heartily, his eyes were full of love for the two children, he whispered softly. He said, "Did you grow up together? It's so nice, Lang rides a bamboo horse and goes around the bed to get green plums. Living together for thousands of miles, the two children have no doubts. My wife and I are also childhood sweethearts, and the two have been good friends since childhood. grown up."
Mr. Chu couldn't say why. He got off the elevator and saw the first sight of the two children, and he felt a sense of closeness in his heart.
Especially this boy, he stood upright, although a little immature, his facial features were as handsome as carvings. The boy's face and even a slightly indifferent expression reminded Mr. Chu of another teenager who was hidden deep in his memory.
It's a pity that the mistakes I made when I was young can't be undone.
But when people are old, they value their face very much, and he doesn't want to turn around and pull his face down, or rather, he doesn't dare to face his past self.
Since Chu Youhe's wife died more than 20 years ago, he has almost ignored his two sons. During that time, he didn't even want to see them.
As soon as he saw his two sons, he remembered that his wife was the root cause of her childbirth, and his longing and paranoia towards his deceased wife made Chu Youhe not only did not accompany the children who lost their mothers to grow up, but also became irritable and irritable, unable to feel any emotion.
Even because the eldest son was unwilling to marry the young lady of the aristocratic family, he cut off the father-son relationship in a fit of rage.
And the youngest son who stayed in the capital also cut off his source of income because he has been acting erratically and ignorantly.
Now I don't know where the younger son is fooling around. For this kind of "mud" that can't support the wall, Mr. Chu doesn't want to see him again in this life.
No matter how many decisions and achievements in the shopping mall, Chu Youhe seems to have become an emotionless person after losing his wife.
He doesn't feel happy, he doesn't feel any emotion.
It wasn't until the accident three years ago that he took a long break, during which he raised this puppy named Lucky, and it was this happy puppy that brought him a little comfort.
Perhaps, in the heart of the old man Chu, he put his thoughts on the eldest son on the pet in another way. He was very guilty. After so many years, he hadn't been by his side since he was a teenager.
In this life, Mr. Chu believes that what he may bring to his eldest son is only pain. It is better to let his son and the people he really like live a stable and peaceful life.
To this day, Old Master Chu has not been able to cross this hurdle in his heart.
He also insisted that it was the best choice not to disturb his son's life.
Today, Lucky, who he regarded as a treasure, was lost. When he heard that someone brought Lucky back, Mr. Chu was ready to thank him.
According to the assistant's report, the property said that Lucky was found by two teenagers, a boy and a girl, who may be brothers and sisters, living in Building 7 opposite.
Mr. Chu originally wanted the children to be guests at home, prepare some afternoon tea and gifts that the children like to eat, and thank them, but he did not expect the two children to be very vigilant and unwilling to go home.
He had to go downstairs with the prepared gifts and thank the two children in person.
"Zheming, bring something here."
The old man Chu snapped his fingers behind him, and the young man in uniform took the tray from his companion, nodded and walked over.
"Lucky is very important to me, like a family member. Thank you very much for helping me find my family today. There are two small gifts here, which are my grandfather's wishes." Mr. Chu said.
The old man's assistant, Zhe Ming, turned the tray to Song Qiaoxi and Chu Jin. On the tray was a small black leather rectangular box and a brown wooden carved round box.
Song Qiaoxi looked at the uncle named Zheming, opened the box and exclaimed, "How beautiful!"
Inside the round box carved in brown wood is a pair of camellia-shaped pearl ear clips with a soft luster.
In the black leather square box, there is a black pen with a silver snake pattern. The snake's eyes are two rubies, and there is a white hexagram on the pen cap.
"As long as you like it."
The old man Chu nodded and smiled, and raised his chin at Zhe Ming.
Zheming pushed the tray forward and motioned for the two of them to take the gift.
Song Qiaoxi admired this pair of beautiful camellia ear clips for a few seconds, and the delicate jewelry-like pen, and exchanged glances with Chu, just waved her hands and said, "No, no, Grandpa Chu, this gift is too precious. We can't take it."
"We really can't accept this gift. Thank you for your kindness. We accept it." Chu Jin looked Mr. Chu directly in the eyes and said neither arrogantly nor arrogantly. Then he glanced at Lucky who was biting the dog leash beside the wheelchair and smiled helplessly. , "Lucky can go home safely. If you want to tie the leash when you go out later, Lucky looks a little naughty and doesn't like being leashed very much. But after going out, the leash is the life of the dog. With stronger dogs, Lucky can easily get lost again."
"Chu Jin, let's go home, Mom and Dad are coming back soon."
Song Qiaoxi pulled Chu Jin's arm and glanced at the wall clock in the lobby.
Chu Jin nodded at her.
"It's too embarrassing for me. You help me find my family, and you don't even let me thank you." Old Man Chu raised his eyebrows, glanced at Chu Jin, shook his head, and looked at Song Qiaoxi again.
"We really can't take earrings and pens. If you take them home, you'll be spanked by your parents. It's a normal thing to pick up things and return them to their owners."
Speaking seriously to Old Master Chu, Song Qiaoxi scratched her head and smiled embarrassedly.
After speaking, she looked a little reluctantly at Lucky who was "competing" with the leash not far away, and hesitantly said: "Can I ask, when do you usually walk the dog, Grandpa? When will you walk Lucky next time? , can I come down and play with Lucky for a while?"
She really likes Lucky. Although she has only been in contact with this little white Schnauzer for an hour or two, there seems to be a bond between the child and the animal.
Lucky also seemed to have telepathy with Song Qiaoxi. Holding the leash, he escaped from the nurse's hand with an "Ow" and ran towards Song Qiaoxi.
She crouched on the ground to meet Lucky, the puppy stuck out its little tongue affectionately, and "Has Haas" licked her arm.
"Of course, Zheming, send a copy of Lucky's timetable to the children's home, and leave the phone number at home." Old Man Chu gave his assistant a color.
Zheming understood, buttoned the box, and turned to leave.
The old man Chu said sincerely: "You can also come to the house to play with Lucky, and your parents are welcome to come and sit at the house. With adults around, you are not afraid that I am a bad person, right?"
"Great, thank you grandpa! Lucky, we can see each other often in the future."
Song Qiaoxi hugged the dog in her arms, avoiding its warm kisses and giggling.
Saying goodbye to Old Master Chu and the others, Song Qiaoxi waved her hand and left Building No. 8 side by side with Chu Jin.
The two children left the lobby, Chu Youhe watched the boy and the little girl disappear into the camphor forest in the garden, and the smile gradually disappeared.
Inexplicably, I felt a little lost in my heart, as if someone who used to be very close had just returned and suddenly left.
Obviously, Lucky has been found.
His brows were slightly frowned, and his body supporting the crutches was a little tired now. The nurse pushed the wheelchair over with great discernment, and Mr. Chu sat back on the wheelchair.
"Go back." Old Man Chu said, and the group walked towards the elevator.
This elevator only goes to the 16th floor. Old Man Chu frowned and looked at the indicator light of the elevator going up, and asked Zhe Ming casually, "That little girl just now, called the little boy Chu Jin?"
"Yes, old man, I heard it too." Zheming replied.
"Well, it's also a coincidence, the surname is Chu, and I belong to the family."
--
On the way home, Song Qiaoxi kept telling Chu Jin how cute Lucky was, and didn't mention the matter of Mr. Chu again.
Not long after the two children got home, Mom and Dad came home together.
During dinner, Song Qiaoxi told her parents about the fun things that happened today. What she meant was, can she also allow her to have a puppy
It's a pity that her father and mother didn't seem to get her point clearly, and she was so vigilant when she patronized and praised Chu Jin. She also got her mother's chopsticks in her hand because she talked to a stranger.
Just as he was digging his head to eat, suddenly the doorbell rang.
"Xixi, go." Mom gave her a look, and Nunu chin.
In Song's house, opening the door is Song Qiaoxi's full-time job. She put down the tableware and walked towards the door, "Come on."
Looking at the cat's eyes, Song Qiaoxi froze in place, hesitating whether to open the door or not, she turned her head and shouted in the direction of the dining table, "Dad, Mom, I think you'd better come over..."
