Xu Li nodded in the dark, and then realized that Song Shishi couldn't see her, so she replied, "Yes, she said she wanted to rent a house, but she couldn't find anyone to rent a house."
Song Shishi thought about the courtyard house she bought. There were so many rooms, and they were just empty anyway.
Qiao Yanxin is good to Xu Li. Now she is in trouble again, so it’s okay for her to help.
Besides, she was not living there for free. She rented the west wing to Qiao Yanxin at market price, so that if Xu Li had any questions in the future, she could ask for advice more conveniently.
Although Song Shishi had this idea, she did not tell Xu Li immediately.
After all, the little girl is young and doesn't have any smart ideas.
Qiao Yanxin's father is a big trouble, and she has to see how Qiao Yanxin treats her father before deciding whether to rent the house to Qiao Yanxin.
After all, if they live together in the future, and Qiao Yanxin is still entangled with her father, then for Song Shishi and Xu Li, it will be an unknown, and there is a risk of "explosion" at any time.
…
...
...
Song Shishi is still the first person to get up in the family.
She cooked the sweet potato porridge and kept it warm in a steamer.
After a quick bite, he went to work.
Xu Li got up, dressed and washed Li Haoyang, then had breakfast with Zheng Peilan and cleaned the house before setting off for Qiao Yanxin.
But as soon as she went out, she met the postman who came to deliver the letter.
Thinking about the letter she sent to Shi Tou, which still had no reply, she deliberately slowed down her pace and waited for the postman to approach.
"Hello, does Comrade Xu Li live here?"
Hearing the postman's words, Xu Li's eyes lit up and she nodded quickly, "I'm Xu Li. Is there a letter for me?"
"right."
The postman checked the information on the letter, then handed the letter to Xu Li and left.
She held the letter tightly and looked at the words on the envelope, feeling excited.
After standing for a while, Xu Li slowly and carefully tore open the envelope, fearing that she would tear the letter inside.
The letter written by Shi Tou was very simple, but after reading it, Xu Li was so happy that she was spinning in circles.
Shitou told her in the letter that he was coming to Beijing.
Looking at the date written above, it seems to be today.
No, she had to go to the station to pick him up.
Thinking of this, Xu Li went straight to find Qiao Yanxin. She had to talk to Qiao Yanxin first, and only if Qiao Yanxin agreed could she go.
"There are no orders today. If you have something to do, go and do it. When you are done, go back and continue knitting wigs. You don't need to come again today."
Qiao Yanxin had some understanding of Xu Li, and naturally knew about her relationship with Shi Tou, so she agreed immediately.
Xu Li was very happy. "Okay, I'll pick him up and see that he's settled in. Then I'll go back to weave wigs. I won't delay my work at all."
Qiao Yanxin nodded, waved at her, and said nothing more.
After Xu Li left Qiao Yanxin, she went straight to the train station.
She waited at the train station for almost an hour before she saw the train that Shi Tou was on arrive at the station.
Many people who came to pick up others were crowded together in front of the platform.
Xu Li was afraid of being squeezed away, so she could only stand next to a big pillar and stare at the train.
She didn't know which door the stone would come out from, so she could only keep looking back and forth at all the car doors, afraid of missing any of them.
But as the people on the train got off one by one, hugged their families, and left laughing, she never saw Shi Tou.
How could that be?
Didn’t Shitou say that the train would arrive today?
There is only one train coming from Qinghe today. How come there is no one on it?
Could something have happened?
Or is the wrong time written on the stone?
At this moment, Xu Li's mind and heart were in a mess.
Seeing that no one had gotten off the train, Xu Li rushed over and wanted to get on the train to look for her, but was stopped by the conductor.
"Comrade, this train has reached its final destination and there is no one on board."
"I……"
I want to go up and take another look.
Xu Li wanted to say this to the other party, but she didn't say it in the end because she knew clearly that the other party was right.
A huge sense of loss came over her and tears flowed down her eyes.
She didn't remember how she walked out of the train station.
"Comrade, would you like a ride? Do you need a place to stay?"
Xu Li had just come out of the station when a man came out from nowhere, approached her and asked her questions.
Xu Li didn't want to pay attention and walked forward with her head down.
But the other party kept pestering her and refused to give up, and even wanted to pull her away.
"Go away, don't touch me!"
Xu Li yelled.
The man took his hand back, but he was still unforgiving, "Why are you pretending to be a clean and heroic woman? Who would come to the train station for no reason?"
After saying that, the man's eyes scanned Xu Li up and down wildly.
Xu Li covered her chest with her hands, and her mind was quickly thinking of ways to get rid of the other person.
Just then, a figure rushed over and threw the package in his hand at the man opposite.
"roll!"
The familiar roar made Xu Li, who had originally lowered her head, suddenly look up at the figure in front of her.
"Stone?" she asked tentatively.
Shi Tou scared the man away, then turned around and looked Xu Li up and down, "How are you? Did he hurt you just now?"
Xu Li shook her head, tears streaming down her face. "I just looked for you in the station for a long time, but why didn't I see you?"
"I didn't know you were coming. I went to the restroom right after I got off the train. When I came out, I vaguely heard your voice, so I came here."
Seeing Xu Li crying, Shi Tou was a little at a loss. He put the package in his hand on the ground, then used his sleeve to wipe Xu Li's tears while explaining where he had just been.
Although his movements were clumsy, the worry on his face was clearly reflected in Xu Li's eyes.
"Have you been waiting at the station for a long time? Are you tired? Are you hungry?"
Shi Tou breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Xu Li had calmed down and stopped crying.
Xu Li nodded aggrievedly, "Yeah, I'm a little hungry."
She only had a bowl of porridge in the morning and was indeed a little hungry now.
"Then I'll take you to dinner first."
"Where are you staying today?"
Shi Tou and Xu Li spoke almost at the same time, and then they looked at each other and smiled.
"After dinner, I have to go to my uncle's place. Master has already told me that I will stay there for the time being."
Shitou picked up the package on the ground and walked side by side with Xu Li.
"oh."
The fact that Shitou had an uncle in Beijing was something that Carpenter Zhao had told them about last time, so Xu Li didn't ask any further questions.
"You just arrived in Beijing and you are unfamiliar with the place. I will accompany you there later."
When Shi Tou heard Xu Li say she wanted to go too, he wanted to refuse. But then he thought that they had been separated for many days and he still wanted to stay with Xu Li for a while, so he nodded and agreed.
"good."
Shitou's uncle lives only one bus stop away from the house Song Shishi bought, so it's not too far.
After delivering the stone to the place, Xu Li did not go in.
She spoke a few brief words to Shi Tou and then took the bus back to the military compound.
She was already content just to see Shi Tou today.
She had to go back and hurry up to weave the wig, as Qiao Yanxin still had to make money from it.
Perhaps it was because Shitou finally came to Beijing, or perhaps it was because the two of them finally met again, Xu Li was in a good mood today.
It wasn't until Song Shishi came home from get off work that night that she heard Xu Li humming a song while knitting a wig. Song Shishi looked at Zheng Peilan in confusion and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with Lili?"
Li Haoyang stood beside Zheng Peilan, helping her wind the ball of thread, and explained, "Aunt Lili came back very early today, and she has been like this since she came back. I guess she picked up money outside."
