Chapter 651 Wait a minute, you don't need to get out of here.
Chu Xin moved closer to the old man, taking the initiative to create a warm atmosphere between the grandfather and granddaughter.
"Live well, live hard, and that day won't be far off. After this, China will bravely rise up and surpass all countries in the world. In the future, our people will stand straighter than those with ankylosing spondylitis, and there will never be a time when we have to bow our heads and bend over. Our happiness index will be so sweet that it will make you more intoxicated and tipsy than if you had drunk two ounces of wine."
Grandpa Chu smiled, and couldn't help but imagine a bright future with her words, his eyes shining brighter and brighter.
"Then I must take good care of my health and try to live another thirty or forty years, to be a centenarian, and after I die, I will describe the prosperity and strength of our motherland to my former comrades-in-arms."
Veterans of his age all share the same sentiment: those who have long since passed away are deeply etched in their minds and never forgotten. The reason they live on so strongly is to see if the country is getting better and better for their comrades, and to ensure that their sacrifices were not in vain.
"Yes, you have to keep it up!"
Chu Xin's encouraging tone, like coaxing a child, made Old Master Chu laugh even harder. He tapped her forehead and said, "Hahaha...you little devil!"
"Sigh, expectations are often unrealistic. Grandpa is getting old, and some things will ultimately depend on you young people. If you don't want Grandpa to take care of things, then Grandpa won't. Right now, only you and Yunting are still serving the country in our family, and our hopes are on you. I will never be an insensible old man."
"Yes, don't worry, Grandpa, it will be alright."
Chu Xin smiled and agreed.
The old man was a native who had experienced the ten-year catastrophe, so he naturally felt deeply that the future was bleak and there was no light at the end of the tunnel. The fact that he would agree with her and imagine a better future after listening to her for a few words was also a kind of hope under the circumstances.
And this hope will eventually become a reality.
After calming the elderly woman down, she put away her books and went upstairs to rest.
Chu Yunting is on night shift and won't be coming home today. Aunt Li Xiu has also gone back to her parents' home. The house is so quiet that it's better to go to bed early.
She went to work alone the next day.
The most common mode of transportation for commuting is the bicycle, which is also the only one in the family. It was used by Li Xiu to go to work in the early years, but it has been sitting idle at home ever since and is only used occasionally.
Because it was bought early, it looks rather old. To ordinary people, it's fine as long as it's still usable, but to some people, it's proof of Chu Xin's identity.
As she slowly pedaled her bicycle to the entrance of her workplace, she was stopped by three people, coincidentally the same three people Chu Xin had met before—Lu Shujing, Lu Shengying, and Huo Tianci.
Chu Xin planted one foot on the ground and the other on a footstool, looking at the three roadblocks and asking the guards at the door, "Didn't you tell Chu Yunting?"
The guard nodded and then shook his head. "I went to look for him, but he hasn't come over yet."
"Oh……"
Chu Xin responded in a drawn-out tone, "These three must have just arrived, but what's the meaning of stopping me?"
Lu Shujing, being a woman, stood at the front. Seeing Chu Xin not only ignoring them but also talking to a gatekeeper soldier, she immediately raised an eyebrow, "Didn't you see we needed to talk to you? Why are you talking to someone like that?!"
Chu Xin glanced at her lazily, and roughly knew that Zhou Yichen's side had put in the effort. These three people had failed in their evil scheme and were now coming to interrogate her. They were quick enough. The fact that they could stop her meant that they had inquired about who Jia Zhenyan was on good terms with in the Special Branch.
Suddenly finding it somewhat amusing, Chu Xin genuinely laughed out loud. "Who are you? Who do you think you are? Do you think I know you and you're just trying to get my attention?"
Lu Shujing was so angry that she wanted to yell again, but Lu Shengying pulled her back. He stepped forward and smiled politely.
"Comrade Chu Xin, right?"
“I know we are being presumptuous, but it is a last resort. You and our mutual friend, Comrade Jia Zhenyan, have had some misunderstandings with us.”
Before this, we had tried to see him many times to clear up the misunderstanding, but he avoided us. Yesterday, he even falsely accused us of academic fraud to our superiors. This is a very serious matter. We genuinely considered him a friend, but we never expected him to do such a thing because of a small misunderstanding. It is truly heartbreaking.
We inquired about his situation at the Special Branch and learned that he spent most of his time alone in the laboratory and rarely had contact with the outside world. So we wondered if his lack of communication was the reason for his misunderstanding of us.
Of course, we don't blame someone who isn't good at communicating. We just hope he can explain to our leader and make amends for the harm he caused us. Unfortunately, because he repeatedly avoided us, we rashly stopped you.
"Comrade, could you possibly do me a favor?"
"Ah!"
Chu Xin sneered, "Since you've already inquired, you should know that I'm not the only one with a good relationship with Jia Zhenyan. What, why don't you go find Zhou Yichen and Chu Yunting but come to me instead?"
Do you think I'm easy to talk to because I'm a lesbian? No, you should say I'm easy to fool?
He glanced at Lu Shujing with disdain, "Like this big-breasted, brainless idiot?!"
Although it was harsh, what Chu Xin said was absolutely true.
This Comrade Lu Shujing's breasts must be at least a C cup. Perhaps because she has lived abroad, she is not like the current Chinese women who try to cover up their breasts as much as possible. Instead, she is wearing a white fitted short-sleeved shirt, and her proud breasts are particularly eye-catching.
Didn't you see the red faces of those guards at the Special Branch entrance, who were staring straight ahead?
None of the eighteen or nineteen-year-old boys dared to look at her.
Out of consideration for her colleague's well-being, Chu Xin added, "Next time you go to a more formal place, you should wear something more relaxed, like the military uniform you wore last time, which was quite nice."
As soon as she finished speaking, the guards blushed even more, and their eyes looked up at a 30-degree angle with even greater determination.
Lu Shengying and Huo Tianci glanced at Lu Shujing's chest at the same time, then awkwardly looked away.
"You, you bitch!"
Lu Shujing's face turned red and white with anger. She pointed at Chu Xin and was about to tear her apart. "You have no knowledge, you don't understand fashion, you are indeed a bumpkin who can't stand up to the table. Even if the Chu family brings you back, it won't change your peasant nature!"
Riding a beat-up bicycle to work, aren't you ashamed?!
Chu Xin was slightly taller than Lu Shujing, and her disdainful gaze became even more contemptuous because of Lu Shujing's words. Just as Lu Shujing approached, Chu Xin put her feet down on the pedals and braced herself with her legs, and the front wheel of the bicycle suddenly lifted high into the air.
Lu Shujing bumped into it.
A scream rang out, and she staggered backward, clutching her chest with both hands, her face contorted with pain and anger.
"Aaaaah, you slut, you're being a pervert!"
The bicycle wheel landed steadily, and Chu Xin, holding the handlebars, smiled at her, "Who are you calling a bitch?"
Lu Shujing was furious and retorted without thinking, "I'm talking about you, you bitch!"
"Oh, you bastard, you're saying I'm being a pervert? That's not true. I wasn't even touching you. At most, it was my bicycle that was being indecent. Are you going to sue it?"
Oh dear, what should I do? You've lived abroad, so you might be more open-minded and fashionable, accepting all sorts of weird things. But my bicycle is made and sold in China. Even if it has some ideas, they are traditional Chinese ideas. It certainly can't agree with your accusation, and I don't know if our police officers can understand your cross-species invasion accusation.
Comrade, are you sure you want to sue?
Lu Shujing: ...
"Pfft!"
One of the guards couldn't help but laugh, but after being nudged by his colleague, he immediately straightened up and stood at attention.
Lu Shengying, Lu Shujing's cousin, immediately stepped forward and looked at Chu Xin with displeasure when he saw his cousin lose her composure. "Comrade, you've gone too far. This is an insult!"
Chu Xin shrugged. "There's nothing I can do. That's how my parents made me. If you don't want to suffer, then get out of here!"
Then, looking at his back, she smiled and said, "Wait, you don't need to roll away."
