"Okay." Su Miaomiao responded with a smile.
"Come, wash your hands first, you can eat soon." Huo Xinyuan poured out the water in the basin and scooped another basin for Su Miaomiao.
"Yeah." Su Miaomiao stepped forward.
"I remember there seems to be a furniture store on West Street. Let's go there tomorrow to take a look." Huo Xinyuan stood beside her and whispered to Su Miaomiao.
"Sure, I want furniture that's more Chinese-style."
“It seems like there are all kinds of styles over there.”
“…”
As the two were talking, there was another noise at the gate of the courtyard.
They both looked up at the same time, and Huo Minxue walked in from outside, looking dusty and dusty.
"Second brother, where are you?" Su Miaomiao quickly stood up.
"Have you been mining?" Huo Xinyuan also spoke up.
"Pour... pour me a glass of water..." Huo Minxue's voice was hoarse, and he sat directly on the stone bench next to him.
Seeing that he was about to die of thirst, Huo Xinyuan quickly turned around and poured him a cup of cold tea.
Huo Minxue took it and drank it all, then handed the cup to Xiao.
"Another drink..."
Huo Minxue drank three cups in one breath, and only then did his burning throat feel better.
"Second brother, what's wrong with you?" Su Miaomiao asked again.
This was the first time she saw her second brother in such a miserable state since she came to Beijing.
She remembered that he worked in a research institute, and he seemed to be a clerk, working in the archives.
There is not much room for advancement in this job, but it is relatively leisurely.
"I went to Eling Mountain. When I came back, there were no seats on the company bus, so I had to walk. That's how I ended up like this." Huo Minxue's voice finally recovered a little.
"E'ling Mountain? That place is far away from the city. What are you doing there?" Su Miaomiao frowned.
"This morning, a villager called the police, saying that a shell was dug up in their field. My leader asked me to go over and take a look." Huo Minxue explained briefly.
"Don't you work in the archives? Why would I ask you for help in this matter?" Su Miaomiao was puzzled.
"Little sister, you may not know this yet, but my second brother's previous research direction was related to missiles." Huo Xinyuan explained.
Su Miaomiao really didn't know about this and had never asked about it before.
"So what's the current situation?" Su Miaomiao asked.
"I checked it out. It was a dud. It should have been left over from the previous war. It has been collected." Huo Minxue said slowly.
"That's good." Huo Xinyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
But Su Miaomiao's expression was not very good.
"Little sister, what's wrong with you?" Huo Xinyuan noticed her abnormality.
"Brother, is your unit always like this?" Su Miaomiao's slightly lowered eyes were tinged with a hint of darkness.
"What?" Huo Minxue was a little slow to react.
"It means that when you need it, it comes at your fingertips, and when you are done with it, it comes back at your call." Su Miaomiao looked a little restrained.
"No, the people at work thought I knew something about this, so they came to me for help." Huo Minxue explained quickly.
"Really? Then why did you help them, but in the end they still let you walk here by yourself?" Su Miaomiao said in a deep voice.
"Yes, that was not your job in the first place. They wanted something from you. Not only did they not treat you as a guest of honor, but they also left you alone in a place like that. What if something went wrong?" Huo Xinyuan realized it belatedly.
"I didn't do that. The car was full at that time." Huo Minxue forced a smile.
