In the morning, Gu Nanxun moved Lin Qing from the spatial dimension to the kang (a heated brick bed) in the room, letting Lin Qing continue to sleep.

After having breakfast with Chen Bin and Wang Haoran, I went to work with them.

After discussing it with Lin Qing yesterday, he agreed that he would take over the work from now on, and Lin Qing would just need to rest at home.

In Chaoyang Brigade, everyone is required to work except during the autumn harvest. Otherwise, it's a free system, but each family must have at least one person working. Now that Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun have registered their marriage, they are a family, so only one of them needs to work.

At noon, Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun had just finished eating when they heard someone knocking on the door.

Who are you looking for?

Wang Haoran opened the door and saw a group of young men and women standing there.

"We're looking for Gu Nanxun, Comrade Gu."

The leader of the group looked at Wang Haoran and said this. He had already seen Gu Nanxun from afar earlier that day, so he knew that the person in front of him was not the one he was looking for.

"Brother Gu, they're looking for you."

The leader's eyes flashed with displeasure when he saw Wang Haoran so easily lead him and the others into the courtyard.

"Comrade Gu, your letter."

Upon seeing Gu Nanxun, the leading youth quickly took out a letter and handed it to him.

Gu Nanxun took the letter with a puzzled look. After opening it, he found not only a letter but also a bankbook inside. Gu Nanxun quickly browsed through the letter.

The letter was written by Gu Nanxun's uncle, Zhao Jingxiang. In the letter, he wrote that the ten people in front of him were trained by the Zhao family since childhood and had always been loyal to the Zhao family. They were trustworthy and were the Zhao family's hidden force. He was now giving these ten people to Gu Nanxun, and Gu Nanxun would make arrangements for them in the future.

In addition, Zhao Jinxiang introduced the strengths of each of the ten people. They were not only proficient in various weapons, but also in various tracking, investigation, medical skills, cooking and other skills. They were all-rounders, even the elite teams he had led before were not this versatile.

Among them, Gu Nanxun was most satisfied with two female comrades who could stay by Qingqing's side and protect her.

"Please introduce yourselves!"

After reading the letter, Gu Nanxun looked at the ten men and women in front of him and said...

"Young master, my name is Zhao Chun, now I call myself Wang Chun, and I am skilled in marksmanship."

"Young master, my name is Zhao Xia, now I call myself Liu Lixia, and I am skilled in sniping."

"Young master, my name is Zhao Qiu, now I call myself Chen Aiqiu. I am skilled in tracking."

"..."

"Young master, my name is Zhao Chen, and I am skilled in medicine."

"Young master, my name is Zhao Xi, and I am skilled in cooking."

The names of the ten people Zhao Jingxiang sent were very easy to remember: Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, Wind, Rain, Thunder, Lightning, Morning, and Dawn. In order not to arouse suspicion, they also gave each of them new names.

Only Zhao Chen and Zhao Xi used their original names; they went to the countryside as sisters.

"The eight of you can stay outside with Chen Bin and Wang Haoran! The two of you girls can stay in Dong'er's room!"

Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing discussed it for a while, and then made arrangements for the ten people.

"You've just arrived. If you need anything, you can go to the commune to buy it this afternoon, or just ask Qingqing."

As he spoke, Gu Nanxun handed Zhao Chun some more banknotes.

"Fourth Brother, were they sent by Uncle?"

Chen Bin stared in disbelief at the introductions of the ten people in front of him.

Uncle Jingxiang really puts a lot of money into this.

"Yes, that's right!"

Upon hearing Chen Bin's question, Gu Nanxun nodded and replied.

He himself was surprised by the generosity of his uncle, whom he had never met. The effort required to cultivate ten such outstanding talents was unimaginable, and his uncle simply gave them away without hesitation. It was truly a generous gesture.

After arranging everyone, Gu Nanxun looked down at the bankbook in his hand. He saw a 5 written on it, followed by four zeros, totaling 50,000 yuan. He was really generous.

"50,000!"

Upon seeing the bankbook in Gu Nanxun's hand, Lin Qing couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Just who is this Nanxun brother's uncle? How could he be so generous?

"What 50,000? Is there 50,000 in this savings account?"

Hearing Lin Qing's exclamation, Wang Haoran also shouted.

"Shut up, can't you keep your voice down?"

Hearing Wang Haoran's loud voice, Chen Bin couldn't help but scold him.

"I'm so surprised! 50,000! My whole family doesn't even have that much!"

Hearing Chen Bin's reprimand, Wang Haoran said, feeling wronged. He was just too surprised; Chen Bin was too fierce!

"Don't tell anyone outside, understand?"

Seeing Wang Haoran's carelessness, Chen Bin couldn't help but give him instructions.

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid! Why would I go around saying things like that?"

"..."

"Yingzi, do you think Jianjun saw Xun'er? What if Xun'er doesn't want to come back?"

In Beijing, Zhao Xuan and Hu Ying were chatting when Zhao Xuan looked at Hu Ying with a worried expression.

"Sister-in-law, you know everything!"

Upon hearing Zhao Xuan's question, Hu Ying looked at Zhao Xuan incredulously and said, "When did you find out, sister-in-law? If you know, why are you still so calm?"

"I found out not long after Jianjun left. He rarely left Beijing over the years, only for very important matters. Before he left, he took my phoenix pendant and the deed to the wedding room I had prepared for Xun'er. He knew the significance of this pendant better than anyone else, not to mention the deed to the wedding room, but he took it all. I also overheard my parents' conversation, and that's when I realized that my Xun'er was still alive."

"Since you know, why..."

"Why didn't you go with him? Given Jianjun's status, leaving Beijing is inherently dangerous, and the situation is still unclear. I can't hold him back. Besides, we don't know what's going on with Xun'er. I believe Jianjun will handle it well. I just need to help Xun'er tidy up the room and wait patiently."

"Sister-in-law, you're so smart. I really admire you sometimes."

Upon hearing Zhao Xuan's answer, Hu Ying said with admiration that she truly admired her sister-in-law and that she herself would have been just as effusive.

The eldest sister-in-law has been torturing herself for the sake of her youngest son for so many years, but I never expected that she could actually keep herself calm.

"Yingzi, you have no idea how much I've been suffering. I desperately want to fly over there to see my Xun'er, but I'm scared! I'm scared that my going there will implicate them. I'm scared that something else might happen. I've finally seen a glimmer of hope, and I'm really scared..."

Hearing Hu Ying's words, Zhao Xuan could no longer hold back and buried her face in Hu Ying's arms, bursting into tears. She was truly terrified! She was afraid of bringing disaster to her son, afraid that her passing would become a burden, and afraid that her son would blame her and disown her. In such a family, every action she took was crucial, and she had to be extremely careful...
