After all, we're all smart people.
Bai Shuyuan felt that he was the outsider.
However, he's shameless and will still try to freeload off anyone who wants to.
He's still growing, so he needs to eat well.
"Oh, right, Jiaojiao, Jingchen said he'll call the military headquarters tonight. Go answer it in a bit." Fu Yifei remembered something important. "In a few days, once the power grid is operational, we'll also get a telephone installed at home."
That will be convenient then.
Su Jiaojiao immediately perked up: "Okay, I'll go wait over there after I finish eating."
I don't feel tired at all.
This made Bai Shuyuan feel once again that his cousin-in-law was a bit worthless.
Is it really necessary to make it so obvious?
However, Bai Shuyuan made a timely gesture: "Sister-in-law, I'll take you to the military headquarters in a bit; it's almost dark."
He needs to help out a lot so that he can legitimately freeload meals.
"Xiao Yuan, then I'll trouble you to take your sister-in-law to the military headquarters and then back to the compound." Du Xiuyun had to go to the research institute to work overtime later; the recent project was very important.
With Bai Shuyuan's help, she felt somewhat at ease.
"Don't worry, Auntie, I'm fine and not in a hurry to go back to the provincial capital. I'll come and pick up Comrade Su in a bit." Liu Changxing wouldn't stand idly by.
It was indeed getting late.
"Comrade Liu is going back to the provincial capital, so there's no need to trouble you. I can handle it. Don't worry, I can protect your sister-in-law." Bai Shuyuan wanted to make a good impression.
We can't let Liu Changxing steal the credit.
Liu Changxing remained calm: "No need."
He didn't believe that Bai Shuyuan, who was weak and powerless, could handle things if something really happened while he was by Su Jiaojiao's side.
Bai Shuyuan will need Su Jiaojiao to protect him in crucial moments.
It doesn't seem very useful.
"Let's go together then." Bai Shuyuan couldn't persuade Liu Changxing, so he had no choice but to compromise.
Su Jiaojiao waited for the phone call, and Liu Changxing and Bai Shuyuan couldn't stay by her side.
They all stood outside.
It had already gotten dark.
“She’s my cousin-in-law, you don’t need to look at me with such hostility.” Bai Shuyuan said irritably, feeling a sense of pressure from Liu Changxing.
You could even see the disgust on his face.
“You are a member of the Bai family.” Liu Changxing said calmly.
"Yes, my grandfather is Aunt Du's uncle." Bai Shuyuan asked quite a few questions while on the phone with his family.
He came here to serve his country and support the development of the border regions.
But he underestimated himself; he couldn't actually endure too much hardship.
Especially those who can't eat in the cafeteria.
Liu Changxing frowned: "My own uncle?"
"Yes," Bai Shuyuan answered readily, with a hint of superiority in his voice.
He wanted to make Liu Changxing face reality.
"My own uncle, my own uncle whom I haven't had any contact with for so many years." Liu Changxing found it ridiculous and said, word by word.
This left Bai Shuyuan speechless.
She glared angrily at Liu Changxing.
He meant to say, "What do you know?"
But I really can't bring myself to say it.
He knew all too well that the Bai family was dishonest.
I haven't been in contact with Du Xiuyun over the years.
In the office.
Su Jiaojiao answered the phone slowly when it rang.
"Hello, could you help me find Su Jiaojiao?" Fu Jingchen's polite voice came from the other end of the receiver.
"Hello, Su Jiaojiao isn't here!" Su Jiaojiao said with a smile.
Fu Jingchen smiled immediately: "Jiaojiao, it's you."
His wife is really naughty.
"Is the mission over there dangerous?" Su Jiaojiao stopped teasing him and asked worriedly, "You must be careful."
"Don't worry, I'll be very careful," Fu Jingchen quickly said. "Remember not to go out alone. Liu Changxing has already gone over there."
He knew that if he left, Liu Changxing would definitely appear.
He was sent by the Su family to protect Su Jiaojiao.
"He's here, still outside the office. But, our family has gained another cousin." Su Jiaojiao told Bai Shuyuan about it.
That's a very objective observation.
He didn't express his own thoughts.
Fu Jingchen was also somewhat surprised: "The Bai family has actually come to the Northwest. Jiaojiao, you should stay away from them and be on guard."
He feared that Bai Shuyuan had come because of Fang Zhen's matter.
Suddenly I panicked, wishing I could grow wings and fly home.
"Yes, I will." Su Jiaojiao nodded obediently. "You don't need to worry about me. You know my space is big enough to kill someone."
That's true.
Su Jiaojiao could freely enter and exit Fu Jingchen's space with him.
Su Jiaojiao's space is accessible only to herself.
Once someone goes in, they can't get out.
As they parted, Fu Jingchen said reluctantly, "Jiaojiao, I...miss you!"
People of this era are still very conservative and restrained.
But Fu Jingchen really missed Su Jiaojiao.
He had never spoken these words in his twenty-eight years of life, but now, over the phone line, he uttered them one word at a time.
I really want to!
Hearing this, Su Jiaojiao was in a great mood: "If you miss me, come back soon."
Just before hanging up, Su Jiaojiao added, "Brother Jingchen, I miss you too."
Then he hung up the phone.
Hearing the dial tone, Fu Jingchen's smile deepened.
He just had a somewhat goofy smile.
He felt content just to hear Su Jiaojiao's voice.
Upon hearing the last sentence, I felt like I was floating on air.
However, after hanging up the phone, he wrote a will and handed it to his superior.
If he comes back, the will can be torn up.
If not, send it to the Northwest.
Afterwards, Fu Jingchen tidied himself up, changed out of his military uniform, disguised himself as a villager, went to the village, and officially accepted the mission.
Bai family in Beijing.
"Zhenzhen has suffered these past few days, so you all need to treat her well," Grandpa Bai said to the whole family, his tone serious and formal.
He glanced at his sons and grandsons.
Seeing that Bai Shuyuan was not there, he still slammed his hand on the table in annoyance: "That kid Shuyuan, did he really go to the Northwest?"
"I went, and I even called back." Huo Xiu, Bai Shuyuan's mother, told the truth. "However, he said that our family should take good care of Zhenzhen, and that Zhenzhen is his sister and shouldn't be mistreated."
Actually, when Bai Shuyuan said those words, Huo Xiu scolded him.
But in front of the old man, she could only agree with him.
Bai Manqi was very pleased to hear this, and put her arm around Fang Zhen: "Zhenzhen suffered so much this time because of my cousin's daughter-in-law. I really didn't expect that such a young girl could be so vicious and frame Zhenzhen like this."
Upon hearing the word "cousin," the Bai family members all fell silent and did not respond.
Fang Zhen just cried, wiping her tears with a handkerchief.
The Bai family brought her back to Beijing from the Northwest and then got her released, which not only cost them a lot of money but also involved a great deal of personal connections.
However, the Bai family's sons didn't think anything of it, and the grandsons all felt it was only natural.
Only a few daughters-in-law were genuinely unhappy.
This sister-in-law is so old, yet she's so immature, wanting a divorce and insisting on moving back to her parents' house.
It's so incredibly annoying.
But neither the old man nor his husband thought there was a problem.
"Since Xiao Yuan has gone to the Northwest, let him visit the Fu family often." Old Master Bai felt sorry for his granddaughter Fang Zhen. "After finding out more about Xiu Yun, I will think of a way to make Zhen Zhen vent her anger."
“I want her to go to the farm for reformation for ten years.” Fang Zhen got angry when she thought about it, and clenched her handkerchief tightly. “I know she’s a capitalist’s son of a bitch. As long as she divorces her cousin from the Fu family, there will definitely be problems with her identity when we investigate her again.”
She didn't suffer much on the farm.
After suffering for a few days at the Northwest Farm, returning to Beijing was just a formality.
But she hated Su Jiaojiao to the core.
