Chapter 002 Activating the Mysterious Space

When Gu Xiaoxi woke up, it was already noon.

She felt like her whole body was falling apart, she was sore and painful, and she didn't want to move at all.

After a long pause, she finally sat up and changed her clothes.

It was also at this time that she discovered there was a purple jade pendant around her neck.

The relief on the jade pendant is very special, it is a very ancient balance scale.

When did Lu Jiansen put this on her?

She took off the jade pendant and was looking for a box to put it away when her feet suddenly felt weak and she fell to the ground.

His palm rubbed against the ground, and a little blood seeped into the jade pendant.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Xiaoxi discovered that the balance scale relief on the jade pendant suddenly disappeared, and two strange rooms appeared in front of her.

A shabby shop with the words: Second-hand goods warehouse.

The other room, however, looks full of technology, giving people a sense of mystery and prosperity.

There are also a few words on this room: New Product Showroom.

Gu Xiaoxi rubbed his eyes and muttered to himself: "Are you dazzled?"

Just when I was surprised, I suddenly heard my mother talking to someone outside.

"Xiaoxi didn't feel well yesterday. I think she fell asleep right after she came back from the hospital. I'll ask her first. Director Wang, please sit down and drink some water."

Gu Xiaoxi was startled and quickly got up from the ground, straightened his hair and clothes, and prepared to open the door.

But when her hand was on the door, she thought of something and looked back.

At this time, she found that the two rooms had disappeared, but the balance scale relief that had disappeared from the jade pendant had magically returned.

Although she didn't understand the current situation, she no longer had the idea of ​​collecting the jade pendant. Instead, she carefully wore the jade around her neck and hid it in her clothes.

When she opened the door and went out, she saw her mother and Director Wang from the Street Office sitting in the living room.

She was stunned for a moment, then quickly called out, "Mom, Director Wang!"

Jiang Xiuqing glanced at her daughter, gently touched her forehead, and when she saw that she was not feverish, she asked, "Xiaoxi, did you see Gu Xinli yesterday?"

Gu Xiaoxi was a little confused, but still nodded, "Yes, she did. She and her aunt came to borrow my bicycle last night, and I lent it to her."

This scene had never happened in the previous two lives, and I didn’t know what my mother meant by suddenly asking about Gu Xinli.

Jiang Xiuqing glanced at Director Wang and asked tentatively, "Did you see a man last night? A soldier?"

Gu Xiaoxi was a little panicked, but she shook her head calmly, "No. What's wrong?"

Director Wang saw Gu Xiaoxi's confused look, sighed, and then explained: "Your brother asked a comrade-in-arms to deliver something to your house. Your house was empty during the day, so the soldier delivered the things to your grandparents' house."

Gu Xiaoxi blinked his eyes. How could this actually happen?

Why didn't she know anything about it in her previous two lives?

Director Wang continued, "That soldier is very good. He is only 25 years old this year, but he is considered an older young man. I wanted to find a blind date for him during the holiday. My comrade-in-arms' sister is a good choice..."

Gu Xiaoxi was stunned when he heard this.

The soldier Director Wang mentioned is Lu Jiansen, right?

My comrade-in-arms' sister is me?

Her brother Gu Dachuan was indeed a soldier in the Northern Military Region, but he was not a high-ranking official, only a company commander.

But, in her previous two lives, she had never heard her brother talk about this?

No one at home even knew that my brother’s comrade-in-arms had been to our house!

"It's all because of that stupid and bad-hearted Gu Xinli. She told the military personnel that she was your brother Gu Dachuan's sister, so they arranged for you to go on a blind date and have dinner with her." At this point, Director Wang's tone was filled with deep anger.

"They also drugged the soldiers and tried to force them to stay in the hospital for a night for emergency treatment..."

It also caused her, a street director, to be scolded by her superiors, and she was very angry and upset.

Gu Xiaoxi was already confused at this moment!

Didn’t Lu Jiansen stay in her bed all night last night? Could it be that her home is a hospital?

Still need emergency treatment?

So she was the doctor who saved him?

As her thoughts were racing, she suddenly thought of something.

How did Director Wang know such details?

Just as she was thinking about it, Director Wang's next words just happened to answer her question.

"That soldier reported this to his superiors early in the morning, and now the punishment for Gu Xinli has been announced. She will go to the countryside for labor reform..."

At this point, Director Wang paused and said, "That soldier still wants to see you!"

Gu Xiaoxi opened his mouth wide, feeling a little excited and secretly happy.

Gu Xinli actually has to go to the countryside for labor reform early, and she doesn't even need to do anything?

This is really great!

Director Wang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the happy expression on Gu Xiaoxi's face.

She looked at Jiang Xiuqing and said with a smile: "It seems that this child is also willing to meet the soldier. In fact, this is a rare good marriage, and Xiaoxi is a lucky child. Otherwise, Xiaoxi might have to go to the countryside. After all, people's hearts are unpredictable."

Director Wang's last words hinted at this.

Jiang Xiuqing heard it, so she fell into deep thought.

In fact, she was a little reluctant to marry her daughter off so early. Her daughter had been weak since childhood and was raised by them.

But she was even more reluctant to let her daughter go to the countryside.

She knew her daughter couldn't bear that kind of hardship!

Thinking of this, she nodded and said, "Then please arrange a time for us to meet, Director Wang!"

Director Wang laughed out loud, "It's better to do it today than to choose a day. I think today is a good day! The soldier is actually from Kyoto, and his aunt married to our Huai City. You two families can sit down and meet and have a chat tonight!"

Jiang Xiuqing was stunned for a moment, "Today? Isn't it too hasty?"

Director Wang smiled and advised: "Time is a bit tight, but such a good marriage, it's easy for things to go wrong if you delay it!"

If the soldier hadn't named the girl, she would have wanted to help her niece!

Jiang Xiuqing glanced at her daughter and seeing that she had no objection, she nodded in agreement.

After Director Wang left, Jiang Xiuqing rushed to Uncle Gu's house across the street, rode the bicycle that Gu Xinli had borrowed and had not returned, and left in a hurry.

From beginning to end, she didn't say a word to her daughter.

Gu Xiaoxi, who was thrown at home: "..."

She also plans to go to the hospital to see her grandfather today!

…

city ​​hospital.

After Jiang Xiuqing finished explaining what happened, she sat aside feeling confused.

Gu Yimin was silent for a while before he said, "Director Wang is not a blindly enthusiastic person. She said that, so the soldier must be really outstanding. What does Xiaoxi think?"

Jiang Xiuqing thought for a moment, "Xiaoxi seemed a little surprised at the time, but she didn't refuse."

Gu Yimin nodded, "Then meet him. I'll go back with you to get ready. Let the nurse take care of Dad first, and we'll come back later."

Grandpa Jiang, who was lying on the bed, suddenly stood up and said seriously, "Don't worry about me. As long as Xiaoxi doesn't dislike that soldier, I will definitely make this marriage happen!"

Jiang Xiuqing looked at her father in surprise, "Dad..."

Grandpa Jiang lowered his voice and said, "The situation is serious now. This time those people were able to break things and hurt me at home, and they will only get worse in the future. Dachuan's position in the army is too low, and he can't protect Xiaoxi. Military marriage is different..."

Grandpa Jiang analyzed several points for his daughter and son-in-law, asking them to do their best to make things happen in the evening.

Jiang Xiuqing nodded, "Dad, I understand!"

Her father had only been the president of a bank in Huai City for three years during the Republic of China period. He had always been kind to others and had helped many people, but in the past two years, his old kindness had gradually become useless.

This time my father was injured and hospitalized because that group of people found all kinds of excuses to search for things in the bank president's home, saying that the bank president must have a lot of money at home.

Those people only believed what they thought and didn't care at all that the Jiang family's house was already very shabby from big to small, their clothes were not well-dressed, and there was no extra food at home.

Gu Yimin helped the old man pack up and told the nurse about it before he left with his wife.
