But this time, it was obvious that the topic they were talking about was not this, otherwise the wife would definitely cover his mouth immediately.

Then she scolded him, "Don't ask questions like that, woman!"

"It's good news, right?" Huo Tingzhou asked.

It should be, otherwise my wife wouldn’t have this expression.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore." Jiang Si smiled, "I think it should be good news."

Although it is not certain yet, she feels it should be soon.

As she spoke, Jiang Si told her elder sister-in-law the information she had asked her to find out about the Siheyuan.

"I guess my eldest brother and his wife are thinking of transferring back to Beijing, otherwise she wouldn't suddenly ask about this."

"Besides, I feel like this house should have been bought for Mr. and Mrs. Lu..."

After finishing the analysis, Jiang Si looked at Guo Dian with an expression that said, "Praise me!"

However, Huo Tingzhou just responded lightly after hearing this, without any big reaction.

"Why aren't you surprised at all?" Jiang Si looked surprised.

After thinking for a while, he asked again, "Did Big Brother already tell you?"

Huo Tingzhou shook his head, "Not really."

My eldest brother has a similar personality to him, neither of them is a talkative person.

㱗I won’t speak easily until I’m sure.

But they are brothers after all, and he can feel some things without having to say them explicitly.

Seeing his wife's curious face, Huo Tingzhou said, "Brother has also signed up for this year's military competition."

Jiang Si still didn't understand. "Participating in the martial arts competition and returning to the capital, are these two things necessarily connected?"

"some."

Huo Tingzhou patiently explained to her, "This kind of military-wide competition not only showcases the strength of each military region, but is also a good opportunity to recruit talent."

"Poaching people?"

"right."

Huo Tingzhou said: "If you win a high place in a major competition or perform well, you will easily be spotted by other military commands. There are many such examples, especially the General Military Command. They like to poach people."

When Jiang Si heard this, she suddenly realized what was happening.

"Then you participated..." is it also for this?

"yes!"

Huo Tingzhou admitted it very straightforwardly. Since there was no way out due to his age, he could only find a way to accumulate more military merits.

Jiang Si wanted to say something else.

But before he could finish his words, Huo Tingzhou had already turned off the bedside lamp.

Before I could react, I felt a chill on my lips.

Jiang Si was a little confused by his sudden action.

After catching her breath, she murmured softly, "Didn't you just...last night wasn't enough?"

It was said that things would go downhill after the age of 30!

Huo Tingzhou expressed it with his physical strength.

Do what you like with the people you like.

It’s never enough!

…

Happy days are always short. After the Lantern Festival, Huo's mother and eldest brother Huo's family packed up their luggage and prepared to go to Xinjiang Province.

On the day of departure, the whole family held back their tears.

The words of advice were repeated over and over again, and Lu Zhankai wanted to speak several times.

But he swallowed the words back in the end.

He was afraid of giving people hope and then disappointing them.

"dad--"

Before getting on the car, he looked back at Mr. Huo and said, "Take care of yourself, and take care of your grandparents, too."

Huo's father already knew that his son had signed up for the competition.

But the son didn't say anything, he just pretended he didn't know.

But in the end, Father Huo couldn't help but say, "No matter what the outcome is, just do your best and take care of your health."

One sentence made Lu Zhankai's eyes red, "I understand, Dad."

After seeing off Brother Huo and his family, Third Uncle and Uncle Zhong also returned to Shanghai the next day.

When they went to Qiongzhou Island before, they only brought summer clothes.

Now that I plan to stay in Beijing for a long time, I have to bring some winter clothes with me.

Besides, he has many old friends and he wants to take advantage of this trip back to get together with them.

After all, I'm getting older, and we'll see each other less and less in the future.

Of course, Third Uncle was actually not at ease with the things in the old house.

Jiang Si knew what was going on, so she didn't stop him.

It was just that after sending off two waves of people in succession, and everyone who was supposed to go to work had already gone to work, the old house that was originally bustling and noisy suddenly became much quieter.

Jiang Si was a little uncomfortable for a while.

But now there is no time for her to be sad.

She has to hurry up and finish the design draft in her hand.

But I didn't expect that an unexpected guest suddenly came to my house that afternoon -

I don't know what happened today, but I suddenly wanted to say thank you all for following and supporting me along the way.

Without you, there would be no Orange today.

By the way, Orange has the habit of reading comments and checking the backstage ID to urge for updates.

Whenever I see a familiar ID, I feel particularly happy. Thank you so much~~]
