Xie Jiancheng is merely a son-in-law and has made meritorious contributions in reporting the matter; he should not have been implicated in the cultural relics issue.
However, due to a series of anonymous whistleblower letters alleging marital infidelity and abandoning his wife and children, the information sent back by the people he sent to investigate successfully made him a new resident of the cowshed.
His only act of conscience was that before being sent to the countryside, he published a notice in the newspaper severing ties with his children.
Ah, what a deep bond between father and son!
The Xiao family was both pleased with the outcome and felt sorry for Xie Lin.
Although both were children, Xie Jiancheng thought of his children when he was down on his luck, but he never inquired about his son who had been abandoned in the countryside for more than 20 years.
In comparison, Xie Lin is truly pitiful.
The Xiao family treated Xie Lin even better, providing him with a constant stream of delicious food and drinks.
The Lu family also declared that anyone who dared to bully Xie Lin was going against the Lu family.
Who would dare to go against the two leaders of the compound?
Xie Lin smiled and made a request: let Xie Jiancheng go back to his hometown and be sent down to the countryside, where he could stay in the cowshed that Xie Lin had lived in.
Grandpa Xiao immediately arranged for ventilation.
Shishi peeled an orange, broke off two slices of fruit, and fed them to him.
"You stinky egg, you have a sweet mouth and a sweet heart."
"Okay, thank you, Shishi."
Having lost the love of his parents, which he never longed for, he received love from many more people.
With everything settled, Shishi could finally carry out her purpose for coming to Beijing.
Xie Lin drove her around all the department stores in Beijing, buying her anything she liked.
The food from state-run restaurants was packed up again and again, and it was all packed-up main dishes.
When buying pork, the butcher told me about some sickly piglets. I tricked him into buying two, a male and a female. I put them in my spatial storage, fed them with special energy water, and then, when I used my quirky personality, they instantly became lively and healthy.
To make room, I went to the countryside and bought chicks and many vegetable seeds.
Two snakes were frantically flipping and turning in the air.
Turn over, turn over, turning the ground makes the snake happy.
The days of stocking up on goods in Beijing were very enjoyable; the abundance of desserts and prepared foods in the space made Shishi reluctant to leave.
Xie Lin took the opportunity to send the clean glass bottles that his fifth brother and sister-in-law brought back to the island, but in reality, he stored them in his spatial storage so that she could have a continuous supply of sweet water once the fruit trees grew.
During this time, the four old men took the couple to meet several important figures.
Under the strong expectations of several important figures, Shishi was particularly generous, sending each of them a drawing, depicting advanced machine tools, agile fighter jets, up-to-date electrical appliances, and powerful impact missiles.
If Xie Lin hadn't instructed her beforehand to draw for a while and then think for a while, to draw and then stop, so that everyone would clearly understand that she was just a person and that pushing her too hard would cause her inspiration to dry up, she might really have been stuck on the table.
I went twice. The second time, I brought Chou Chou along. There's no other reason than that leaders are human too, and they can get sick.
Xie Lin admired the leaders' dedication to the country and naturally hoped that they could enjoy good health in their later years.
The ugly little helper acted cute and asked for a hug, which got him a red envelope back and also warmed the hearts of the leaders.
The day before she was to go home, Shishi received a roast duck from Aunt Lu. She finally remembered that she hadn't called her parents back to the island.
Roast duck cannot be sent back to the city, but it can be brought back to the island.
"Hey Dad, Shishi is coming home tomorrow, she's bringing you roast duck."
Xiao Dan was both surprised and delighted.
"Shishi, who am I?"
Did a child encounter a miracle doctor and have their brain cured during a long trip?
"You're the dad, Dad. Tell Mom and Shishi's little brother that Shishi is going home. Goodbye, I'm going to call Chou Dan."
Before Xiao Dan could react, the phone went silent. He was overjoyed for a while before remembering that he had something to say to Xie Lin, so he had to shout desperately.
When Xie Linlai answered the phone, his voice was hoarse.
"Dad, it's me, Xie Lin."
"Xiao Xie, I was just about to call you. The oil field under construction in the east has been attacked, and all sides are going to provide support."
"The other units have all returned, only the special operations team hasn't come back. I suspect they're trapped on some island, or perhaps they were attacked on their way back..."
"We sent people to search, but there's still no result. Xiao Xie, I think you, Lu Fan, and Zhang Dong should go there..."
After hanging up the phone, Xie Lin's face was terribly grim.
Based on Xiao Dan's description of the situation and the collective combat strength of the special forces team, the possibility of being attacked and kidnapped on the return journey is very small; the possibility of being trapped on the island is more likely.
There are many small islands over there.
But he couldn't understand why, with so many support teams, not one of them noticed that their comrades-in-arms were missing.
Without further ado, Xie Lin went to find the old men.
Shishi, Chou Chou, and Xiao Jingsheng are playing marbles and shooting at a target.
The target is a small circle drawn on the wall, divided into three, large, medium and small, stacked together, with the tortoise shell line set at five meters.
Each person puts up a marble as a wager, and the order of throwing is determined by rock-paper-scissors.
rule:
The first thrower throws into the second ring or higher, then the second thrower throws, and so on.
If the first thrower lands in the small circle, they collect the bet, the game ends, and the next round begins.
In the first round, Shishi won against Chou Chou and Xiao Sheng. In the second round, Shishi also won against Chou Chou and Xiao Sheng. In the third round, Shishi won again.
Xiao Jingsheng and Chou Chou, who had only placed bets but hadn't even touched the marbles: ...
"Shishi, you're not allowed to cheat when playing rock-paper-scissors. It won't be fun if you see what we choose," Chou Chou whispered to her friend, explaining the rules.
She has such good eyesight that she can hit the bullseye no matter what she throws; this game is practically a free prize for her.
Shishi looked confused. "I didn't see it. I was just lucky."
In the fourth round of rock-paper-scissors, Shishi won, which is equivalent to winning the target shooting game.
The fifth round...
Xiao Xiangnan and Xiao Xiangbei, along with the old lady, watched with great amusement.
The old lady was used to the little girl always being number one in every game, while the other four went from being shocked at first to becoming quite calm later on.
