The dry cleaner, which she had been away from all day, had become unusually bustling. A group of brightly dressed women were sitting in the rest area. Li Jia walked into the store with a puzzled look on her face. "Xiaoyu, why are you so busy?"

"Oh! Brother Li, you're back! I didn't realize you were so capable. You brought back so many customers after just one day! Xiaoyu is truly impressed!" Zhou Xiaoyu said, winking at the group of women in the rest area with a teasing expression on her face.

Li Jia turned around and looked at the women sitting in the rest area. They all seemed to recognize her. Upon closer inspection, she recognized them as the doctors from the pharmacy of the military hospital. However, they had changed out of their white coats and dressed up, which almost made Li Jia not recognize them.

With her signature smile, Li Jia walked to the rest area and greeted several young women. They chatted enthusiastically for a while. After settling the women in, Li Jia went upstairs to the second floor.

She took out her phone and called Sister Zhang to express her gratitude. After hanging up, she casually turned on her computer, leaned back in her chair, and reflected on recent events. "It turns out that this kind of ordinary life is quite interesting, haha." Thinking about her past life and looking at her current life, Li Jia was even more determined to experience the ordinary life to the fullest.

The next evening, as Li Jia was listening to music and watching "Water Margin," he suddenly remembered Li Xiaoqing's bruised face when he saw Lu Zhishen punching Zhen Guanxi. He picked up his phone to call Jiang Ling'er to ask about Li Xiaoqing's situation. Just then, his phone rang. It was Jiang Ling!

"I mean, do you and I have some kind of telepathic connection? I was just about to call you when you called me. What's up...?" Li Jia's mind drifted back to the carefree Jiang Ling.

"Hehe, of course there's something. First, thank you for helping Xiaoqing yesterday; she's all better now. Second, I was officially notified today that I can participate in all the criminal investigation team's operations, which means I'm no longer seen as a support staff member! So... I'd like to invite you to dinner tonight to celebrate!" Jiang Ling's voice sounded very excited.

"Great! Where are you? I'll pick you up. Let's have dinner together tonight to celebrate." Jiang Ling was the first friend I made after coming to City B. Now that she's been promoted, it's only right to celebrate.

"Remember, don't mention that again. Xiaoqing did it; she doesn't want anyone else to know." Jiang Ling reminded Li Jia, who responded with a smile, "It's good that you're alright. If anything had happened to Li Xiaoqing, I'd make you regret it!"

After quickly tidying up her clothes and saying goodbye to Zhou Xiaoyu, Li Jia left the store. The white Passat quickly disappeared from the dry cleaner's entrance. Half an hour later, Li Jia arrived at the entrance of Tianxiang Garden residential area, parked the car, took out her phone, and dialed Jiang Ling's number. "I'm at the entrance of the residential area. Come down when you're ready."

"Okay! We'll be right down, just a moment!" Jiang Ling hung up the phone after saying that. "We? Is anyone else there?" Li Jia heard Jiang Ling say "we" and knew that it definitely wouldn't be just the two of them going out to eat together. But it didn't matter, it would be more lively with one more person. She just hoped that it wasn't one of her colleagues.

Li Jia didn't have much affection for the police, after all, the work he used to do was completely opposite to theirs, and now he was just an ordinary person living an ordinary, mundane life.

While Hu Sixiang was waiting, Jiang Ling led three people out of the community. To Li Jia's surprise, the three people were actually his younger brother and sister: Li Xiaoqing, with long hair draped over her shoulders and wearing black-rimmed glasses; Li Xiaotong, chewing gum and with bright red hair; and Li Yan, the boy playing football on the football field.

"Who are they?" Li Jia naturally wouldn't let Jiang Ling realize that she knew two people other than Li Xiaoqing, and asked with a questioning look.

"Xiaoqing, you've met them. This is Xiaotong and Xiaoyan, they're my neighbors. We're having a big meal today, so I have to bring them along! Hehe, you won't mind, right?" After introducing them, Jiang Ling opened the back door and let the three of them into the car, while she sat in the front passenger seat. "Let's go!" she commanded Li Jia with great authority.

"Hello! I'm Li Jia, it's nice to meet you all!" Before driving off, Li Jia turned back to greet her three younger siblings, but they seemed a little unimpressed by her enthusiasm. Only Li Xiaoqing smiled shyly and nodded, "Hello, Brother Li! Thank you so much for that time!"

Li Xiaotong sat in the car, looking around at the interior. "Your beat-up car isn't worth much, is it?" she said, spitting her chewing gum out the window.

Li Yan casually glanced around the car, a hint of disdain in his smile, but it was fleeting before he flashed a cheerful smile. "Hello, Brother Li, I'm Xiao Yan!" he said, then smiled politely at Li Feng.

The reactions of the group were somewhat unexpected for Li Jia. It seemed that apart from her younger sister Li Xiaoqing, Li Xiaotong and Li Yan were much more outrageous than she had imagined. It seemed that lacking the love of family members was indeed a headache.

He glanced back at the Jiangling car beside him, which seemed completely unconcerned, and started the car with a smile. "Where should we eat?"

"The weather's so nice today, how about we go for some barbecue?" Jiang Ling said, turning around to look at the three people behind her. To Li Jia's surprise, her three younger siblings seemed to have a lot of respect for Jiang Ling'er. "Sister Ling, you decide! We're fine with whatever we eat. We'll treat you to a big meal when we make some money!" Li Xiaoqing's words and actions were very proper, which reassured Li Feng quite a bit.

"Whatever! Sister Ling, you can decide for yourself! I'm listening to music now, just call me when we arrive!" Li Xiaotong looked at Jiang Ling with no hint of resentment, only admiration and respect.

"I'll eat anything! As long as Sister Ling wants to eat it, I'll eat it!" Li Yan looked at Li Jia's car and people with obvious disdain. However, he showed respect when looking at Jiang Ling'er sitting next to Li Jia. Even so, Li Jia still saw the deep contempt hidden in Li Yan's eyes when he looked at Jiang Ling'er. "What makes this kid so arrogant at such a young age?"

"Okay, let's go to Sishui Barbecue on Sishui Road! The environment there is nice, and the food is delicious!" After Li Jia finished speaking, she sped up the car, while Jiang Ling kept looking around. This was a professional habit. Police officers all have this habit. No matter when, as long as they are on the street, their eyes will involuntarily start searching for any suspicious people.
