"Wife, have you emptied the supermarket?" Xu Jianguo swallowed and asked.
At this time, Wen Sitian and the three girls were holding large bags of small gifts. Even the youngest girls, Fu Niu and Er Ya, were each holding a cardboard box of milk powder. Behind them, Uncle Fu was pushing a flatbed cart with white wine and frozen meat on it.
"It's almost done. Let's move these for now. We'll deal with it later if it's not enough!" Wen Sitian put the things away and began to organize them into categories.
After putting down their things, the three girls ran to Du Yu and teased the little one in her arms.
"Wife, please pack up first. I'm going to the train station!" Xu Jianguo stood up and said.
"Aren't we going back through the portal? Why are you going to the station?"
"Even if we don't take the train, we have to pretend, so I have to go for a walk!"
"That's right, go ahead and come back soon!"
"good!"
After Xu Jianguo finished speaking, he left the space with his ID and letter of introduction and drove towards the Binhai Railway Station.
It took more than half an hour for Xu Jianguo to arrive at the train station. After showing the relevant supporting documents to the ticket seller at the window, Xu Jianguo bought five sleeper train tickets to Fu'an County.
Wenwen is still a kid now, so he doesn’t need to buy a ticket.
Before leaving, Xu Jianguo asked the ticket seller again and learned that the train would take two days to arrive.
After leaving the station, Xu Jianguo drove to a state-owned store and bought a lot of local specialties from Binhai, intending to share them with his familiar neighbors in the village after returning.
Binhai City is a coastal city, so its specialties are mainly seafood. However, considering the weather, he did not buy fresh seafood, but some dried goods.
He bought basically everything he could see, such as dried shrimp, salted mackerel, shredded squid, grilled fish fillets, diced scallops, and dried clams.
The salesperson at the state-owned store's eyes lit up when he saw this young and handsome colonel buying so many things without even blinking.
Some older women even asked him directly whether he was married or not, wanting to introduce him to someone.
This gave Xu Jianguo a headache. Finally, he had no other choice but to take out a photo of his family of three taken when Wenwen was 100 days old from the interlayer of his military officer ID card. Only then did these aunties let him go.
Xu Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the state-owned store, thinking that the Spider Cave was just like this, except that the spider spirits here were really old.
He drove back to the Binhai base and just got out of the car when several officers came towards him. Xu Jianguo was not very familiar with them and had only met them once. However, they had heard of the youngest colonel officer in the base, so they all greeted him.
Xu Jianguo responded to a few people with a smile, and then moved the purchased things from the trunk into the yard in front of them.
After the few people left, Xu Jianguo put all the things into the space, then locked the gate from the outside, and returned to the space while no one was around.
It was already past two o'clock in the afternoon. Wen Sitian had already arranged the things she was going to take back and was waiting for Xu Jianguo to come back.
"Wife, are you done packing?" Xu Jianguo asked.
"Yeah, you're back?"
"Well, I also bought some Binhai specialties and put them in the front yard. I'll put them away when we get there!"
"Okay, shall we set off now?"
"Let's go. I think we should go back to Fu'an County tonight and take a look at your uncle's old house. Then we'll go back to Sandaliang early tomorrow morning!"
"Okay, I'll listen to you!"
After the couple had discussed it, Wen Sitian called the three girls over and gave them a few instructions. Then Xu Jianguo left the space first through the Yuheng star position on the Seven Star Teleportation Array.
After all, he hadn't been back for a long time, and Xu Jianguo was worried that there might be a problem, so he wanted to go back and take a look first.
After a burst of white light disappeared, Xu Jianguo appeared in the yard of Wen Sitian's uncle's house in Fu'an County.
As soon as he appeared in the yard, Xu Jianguo discovered the problem. The courtyard gate of the house was not damaged, but the main door of the house was wide open.
He frowned slightly and walked into the house. The first thing that caught his eye was the mess in the main room, with pots and pans scattered all over the floor.
Then Xu Jianguo went to the east and west wing rooms and found that the situation was not much better than the main room. The secret compartment hidden under the cabinet in the corner of the east room had been exposed, but Wen Sitian had taken out the things inside when she left, so there was nothing in the secret compartment.
Xu Jianguo left the house and walked around the courtyard wall. Finally, he found a few faint shoe prints on the wall in the west corner.
"It seems that this house has been empty for a long time and someone has been coveting it!" Xu Jianguo muttered softly.
He had no choice but to clean up slowly.
Xu Jianguo flashed back into the space and told Wen Sitian about the situation.
He thought his wife would be angry after knowing the news, but she didn't care at all. In her words, she had anticipated this situation a long time ago. There was no loss anyway, it would just be a little tiring.
Upon hearing this, Xu Jianguo gave his wife a thumbs-up and praised her, "Wise and generous!"
Wen Sitian gave him a cold look, then found the key to her own courtyard gate, and then Xu Jianguo brought everyone and Xiao Hei back to the yard.
Funiu lived here for a while when she was young, so when she returned to the yard, especially when she saw the slide that Xu Jianguo made for her was still there, she immediately started chattering non-stop and walked around the yard with her two sisters.
Xiao Hei was also very familiar with this place. He kept sniffing around in the corner, wagging his big tail, and looked very happy.
Xu Jianguo summoned Fu Bo and Du Yu, and then handed Wenwen over to Daya's care. The four adults began to clean up the house.
Daya had been waiting for such an opportunity for a long time. When she held the little guy in her arms, her big eyes narrowed into crescents, which aroused the envy of Funniu and Erya.
In less than an hour, they had cleaned out the main hall and the east and west wing rooms, and Xu Jianguo also found the time to climb over the wall and use the key to open the big lock on the courtyard gate.
Soon, it was around four o'clock in the afternoon. Wenwen, who had been playing happily with her three aunts, suddenly let out a loud cry, which scared the three girls.
