Chapter 284: Mind Your Own Business
"Yeah, it's quite comfortable." Xia Qingliu did not doubt his fabricated words. He placed the washed grapes on the table under the grape rack and invited the two people standing to come over and eat together.
The three of them sat down. Xia Qingying picked up a grape, peeled it, put it in her mouth, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said in surprise:
"I didn't expect that this last bunch of grapes that escaped the net is quite sweet."
After hearing this, the two people next to him also ate one each. The sweet juice spread in their mouths. It was indeed quite sweet. Lu looked at Su Xiangnan next to him in surprise and said meaningfully:
"Ours is sweet, his is sour."
These words were obviously hinting at Su Xiangnan. What he said just now was that he couldn't eat the grapes and said that the grapes were sour.
Su Xiangnan naturally understood what he meant. He knew that he was mocking him for not having a wife to hug. In an instant, the mockery on his face turned into a wry smile, and he said in pain:
"Well, it's not delicious, so sour."
Xia Qingliu took another one, ate it, and said in confusion:
"No way? It's delicious."
How could his wife know the "silly mystery" between the two brothers? Lu was surprised and curled his lips upwards with a slightly smug smile. He explained:
"It's not the grapes' problem, it's the mouth's problem."
It was indeed a problem with Su Xiangnan's mouth. Who told him to be fine? He always mocked others, so let him taste the feeling of being mocked in secret.
"Yeah, it's definitely a problem with my mouth. Grapes are not sweet when eaten by one person, and they are not sweet when eaten by three people. They only taste sweet when eaten by two people." Su Xiangnan said with a helpless smile.
Xia Qingxi seemed to understand something suddenly. She looked at Su Xiangnan and asked half seriously and half to help him out,
"What's the matter with you coming here now, third brother?"
"Yes, there is something." Su Xiangnan was so busy arguing with Lu Jingzhen that he forgot about the business. Su Xiangnan looked at Xia Qingxi and said with a smile,
"It's still a good thing!" Then he continued in a very surprised and admiring tone,
"Fourth brother's wife, you really impressed me. You helped the train police solve such a big case just by riding a train. Tomorrow, the train police from the Ministry of Railways will come to commend you. Reporter Xia has already written an article about your deeds, and it will be published in the newspaper tomorrow, so the army has decided to hold a commendation meeting for you. I came here to inform you that you should be in the square at 11 o'clock tomorrow to receive the commendation."
"So grand?" Xia Qingying was a little flattered. She didn't expect that the army would also hold a commendation meeting for her.
"You have done this in a grand manner, so we will naturally give you a grand one." Su Xiangnan smiled and gave her a thumbs up.
Xia Qingying didn't feel shy at all. She smiled and replied,
"I will follow the organization's arrangements. I will go there on time tomorrow."
Lu was surprised. He was worried that his wife had never seen such a big battle and was afraid that she would be nervous. Now he was a little surprised to see her so calm.
As they were talking, they finished eating the grapes. Lu Chen looked at Su Xiangnan in surprise and urged him,
"You have brought the notice and you have eaten the grapes. You can go back."
"You are in such a hurry to get me out. Is there something important you want to do?" Su Xiangnan looked at him and smiled meaningfully.
Lu Jingchen looked at him in shock and said something murderous:
"One person should mind his own business."
"Okay, okay, I don't care. I'll leave. Is it okay for me to leave?" Su Xiangnan stood up and felt that he had suffered a huge blow both physically and mentally. When he left, he did not forget to remind him "kindly":
"Captain Lu, your body is not only yours, but also the country's. Haha, don't get tired. You won't even be able to lift a gun in a while. How can you protect the people?"
Lu Jingchen, who was "ridiculed", had a cold look in his eyes and spat out a word in a cold voice:
"Get out!"

The next day, Su Xiangnan and the driver Xiao Liu went to the train station to pick up people. The two train police officers who came to commend Xia Qingxi were the two train police officers who met on the train last time, and the female train police officer who later took her to stay in the guesthouse.
The three of them also brought a little girl who couldn't be rescued and couldn't speak.
There were three other children rescued in the store at that time, but only one found her family.
Originally, the little girl had been sent to an orphanage with the other two children, but the child was very persistent and kept trying to express that she wanted to see the people who rescued her. She even refused to eat in the orphanage.
In the end, the train police officers thought that they were going to come and commend Xia Qingxi anyway, so they took the little girl out of the orphanage and brought her along.
After picking up the person, Xiao Liu drove back to the unit. In the car, Su Xiangnan saw that the little girl was cute and started to tease her, but was told by the female conductor next to him that she could not speak.
Looking at such a cute child, and knowing that she was abducted and now her family has not been found, Su Xiangnan suddenly had an idea. Didn’t the eldest sister-in-law’s daughter get lost? This child looks only seven or eight years old, about the same age as the little niece. If the eldest brother and sister-in-law can adopt her, and have someone to rely on, maybe the eldest sister-in-law will not be so sad. Thinking
of this, he asked the female conductor: "What is the name of this child, and how old is she?" "I don't know her last name. When I took the statement of those traffickers last time, they all called her Xiaola, but she wrote that she was Xiaona. She should be eight years old this year." The female conductor said. Xiaola, Xiaona... Su Xiangnan suddenly thought of something, and looked at the little girl carefully again, and found that she was quite similar to his elder brother and sister-in-law. He said to Xiao Liu who was driving the car excitedly: "Don't go to the square first, go to the hospital first, go to the hospital." When Su Xiangnan was transferred back from the field army a year ago, his niece had been lost, so he had not seen her and did not know what the child looked like. Although he had seen photos later, the child in front of him was obviously much older and did not look like the photo. Moreover, the child was mute, but the niece was not. Although all the situations did not match, Su Xiangnan, as a soldier, still felt that he must bring the child to his brother and sister-in-law to let them confirm it. The car quickly drove to the hospital. Su Xiangnan explained the situation to the police officers and obtained their consent, so he took the child directly to Shi Yamin's ward. Because he could not delay the commendation meeting, Xiao Liu drove the police officers to the square first.
Shi Yamin was lying on the bed in the ward, her eyes were a little empty.
At this time, the sound of military boots stepping on the ground came from far away and came to the bed a moment later.
"Sister-in-law." Su Xiangnan called Shi Yamin, her voice trembling:
"Look, is this Su Na?"
When Shi Yamin heard her daughter's name, she thought she was hallucinating again. She turned around slowly, and when her eyes fell on the face of the girl Su Xiangnan was holding, she froze instantly.
