The high speed rail finally stopped at the platform of the high speed train for Yanjing. Chengyu was a small city which was on the third tier and it was necessary to transfer from the Yanjing to a long distance bus. Originally, he called Er Zi in advance to inform him that he would be going to visit the mother and son pair. However, when this brat heard that Su Bei had arrived, he left his business and immediately drove to Brother Su Bei to pick him up.
Just as he walked out of the station, Su Bei saw a youngster holding a sign that read "Big Brother Su Bei" amidst the bustling crowd.
"Brother Su Bei?"
Su Bei put down his bag, put both hands on his shoulders and patted him heavily, "Good job, kid. I haven't seen you for a few years."
"Of course. Hey, don't just stand there. The car is outside. When my mom heard you were coming, she even got a cold. She's at home making dumplings for you right now."
Er Zi took the initiative and grabbed Su Bei's bag, then dragged his arm and walked out. He drove a nearly eliminated Santana 2000. Su Bei saw that there was a girl's sticker on his car ornament, and laughed: "Have you talked about the target?"
"Hehe, Brother Su Bei, little brother, my charm isn't too bad."
Er Zi opened a hardware store on the side of the city, and in order to take care of his mother, he brought the old lady over from the county city to live with him.
At first, he thought that entering the house would be a happy occasion, but the moment he entered the courtyard, a girl came out to welcome him with reddened eyes. It seemed that she had just cried: "Er Zi, Auntie fainted again just now, and is now awake. I told her to go to the hospital, but she said that she wouldn't go, quickly go and advise her."
Su Bei had been an orphan since he was young. A few years ago, when he came to his house with Zhu Zhu to celebrate the new year, he had adopted an old lady as his godmother. Right now, this form of address for mother was extremely heavy for Su Bei, because her own son had already died on the battlefield.
During the Falcon period, because of the secrecy of the quest, communication between the members of the team and their families was top secret. Even family benefits were not allowed to be sent home.
When Su Bei saw the old lady again, his tears started to flow in circles. A few years of time was enough, the young people's faces might have gained an extra bit of maturity, but for the old people, the traces of time were mercilessly engraved on their faces.
"Mom, I've come to see you." Su Bei kneeled in front of the bed and held the old lady's hand that was like a dried branch, crying uncontrollably.
The old lady was once a language teacher in the county, and was a very kind and amiable elder. Because of her work, she was very short-sighted, and wanted to sit up and pull Su Bei along as she said: "Su Bei, when did you arrive? Look at how dumb this foster mother is, she even said that she wanted to make dumplings for you.
Er Zi also wiped his tears, took out a pair of reading glasses from the cabinet and put them on his mother.
Under the guidance of Su Bei, the whole family finished eating the dumpling. It was almost dusk when Su Bei finally managed to persuade them to send the old lady to the best hospital in the city. They made an appointment for a quiet private ward with a nurse.
After the old lady had gone to sleep, Su Bei walked out of the hospital gate and lit a cigarette as he passed it to the slightly worried Er Zi: "You don't have to hide the illness from me."
When Su Bei took the old lady's pulse, he knew that she was definitely not a small sickness.
"There's something wrong with the kidney, but don't worry Brother Su Bei. The hospital has already contacted the appropriate kidney source. "I kept hiding it from mom and didn't tell her …"
Su Bei waved his hand and said, "She knows it himself. You still don't understand her? "How much do you need?"
"Five …" "Five hundred thousand."
Su Bei nodded, even if it was five billion, he still had to save it.
"Have you gathered enough money?"
"I'm still a bit short, but my friend will call me in the next two days. If there's nothing else, Brother Su Bei, then just put your heart into your stomach. My many years of socialising aren't for naught."
Su Bei laughed bitterly, no wonder when he saw Er Zi, he felt that he had become a different person. He had been beaten up by society, and now, he had become a bit smoother, with a helpless look at life from the corner of his eyes.
"I'm not worried about anyone. I have a large sum of professional fees in my hands. Your brother has also saved a lot of money for you to get married in the past two years. This time, I've brought all of it back for you."
"Brother Su Bei, there's really no need …"
"Bullshit!" Su Bei suddenly turned his head around and became serious, "Your blood brother is my blood brother, your blood mother is also my blood mother, aren't you my brother?"
Er Zi never thought that Su Bei would be so excited. He was just a twenty plus year old, where did he get the five hundred thousand from, he rented his own shop in the hardware shop. If the house was his, he could sell it to treat his mother's illness if he had to.
Su Bei walked forward and took out a red card from his pocket. On it was the active funds for the Falcon Special Force. However, only Su Bei was left of Hunting Hawk. Su Bei had never planned to turn over this huge amount of money as a pension for his comrades' families.
The hospital and the city market were very close, so before they could even enter, a man and a woman came out from the courtyard door. The girl was Er Zi's girlfriend, she was Qiao Yanyun, and was selling clothing at a certain large shopping mall in the county.
Seeing his girlfriend talking and laughing with another man as they left his house and went straight to the BMW on the side of the road, Er Zi suddenly froze in place, like a bonfire that had been doused in cold water.
Er Zi took a few big steps forward, blocking Qiao Yanyun, who was about to close the car door, as she looked at her with her eyes spitting fire: "Yanyun, who is he? Is it the owner of the clothing store you told me about, why? "
"Why?" Qiao Yanyun laughed coldly: "I also want to know why other girls can sit in air-conditioned rooms and work while I stand at the counter. Why do other people's boyfriends want to buy a car and buy a house while I bring food from home to save a meal? I'll return this broken ring to you now. "
Qiao Yanyun took off the marriage proposal ring that Er Zi had given her, and heavily smashed it onto the ground: "Other people's rings are all diamond, and at most, they are all gold rings, what about me? An alloy that costs tens of dollars, I beg you, please let me go. "
"When you were on good terms with me, you didn't complain that I was poor …"
"Then you still didn't say that you rented the hardware store, and Auntie had to undergo a kidney transplant! Er Zi, please be realistic and help me consider. No matter what you think, I really can't hold on any longer. In order to help your mom collect the money, I gave you all of my mom's bank card, now I don't even dare to go home. "
The man in the BMW kept pressing his horn to urge Qiao Yanyun to get on, and glared at Er Zi in disdain and contempt. If it was the young and angry Er Zi, he was afraid that someone would die today. However, he couldn't be impulsive right now, and he couldn't even go into the detention center anymore. He didn't care about it, but his mother was still lying in the hospital.
Looking at the man and woman who left in a cloud of dust, Er Zi revealed a bitter smile, a big hand patted on his shoulder: "This kind of woman is not worth getting angry at."
Er Zi smiled bitterly at Su Bei: "Brother Su Bei, to be honest, I'm really not angry. I used to be a little bastard, but now that I know how to cherish and love someone, I just thought that I was already a partner that could lead to the end of their lives. But I didn't expect that reality would still beat me. "
"Idiot, Brother Su Bei doesn't need to return to the army anymore. Do you think that I'm just here to visit you, to follow me to the Jianghai, to rely on my wealth and status? I can't guarantee anything else, whether it's money or women, when you get hold of all these and think back to what happened today, you'll know what it means to be calm and collected. "My brother sends you a message. If you abandon me, you can't stay until yesterday. Let's go, I'll accompany you to have a drink."
Su Bei praised Er Zi who had really matured. He rushed forward to beat up the BMW guy, or even to scold the man who betrayed his girlfriend.
After being enlightened by Su Bei, Er Zi seemed to have understood a lot. Since his girlfriend had already chosen her own path, it was impossible for her to turn back, and the two of them wouldn't be able to return to the past anymore.
The two of them bought some barbecue near the hardware store and set up a table in the yard. A golden moon was hanging in the sky, this was the north, it was already the beginning of autumn, the weather was cool and breezy.
"Brother Su Bei, when did you become a professional? You're acting as someone's bodyguard? "
Su Bei clinked his cup, and laughed: "I guess so."
Er Zi frowned, as if he was disappointed: "Brother Su Bei, why would a man like you do such a thing as a security guard? "Uh, I, I didn't mean that …"
Su Bei laughed out loud: "When I was young, I did not have a home, but now I do."
Pausing for a moment, Su Bei said: "I'm married. Your sister-in-law is the chairman of the company, so our family does not lack money. and you don't have to be so humble with other people for a little money, you know.
"Marry? Oh my god! "Really?" Er Zi looked at Su Bei in shock, "Is there a picture of sister-in-law? Chairman? Wouldn't that be even older than you? No, I'm a bit confused … "
Su Bei smiled slightly: "Brat, what are you thinking about? Do you think that Brother Su Bei is someone who only knows how to eat? Your sister-in-law's sister is my comrade-in-arms. When the two of them introduced the match, it was just an old saying.
Su Bei told him a few simple stories about himself and Liu Hanyan, as well as the development of his Jianghai over the past few months. Finally, the topic fell upon the illegitimate child that was in Chengyu City, the Lao Chen.
Er Zi was dumbstruck when he heard it, he felt that the Wealthy Class Wills would only happen in soap operas, he did not think that there would be such a case in front of him.
"Chen Zekai? If he lives in Chengyu City … " Er Zi gulped down a mouthful of beer. "Don't worry Brother Su Bei, even if we have to dig 3 feet out of the ground, I will help you find that brat."
