Chapter 304 Xiao Bao is missing



As soon as Jiang Jinxiu finished speaking, she saw the man, looking aggrieved, nuzzling against her chest.

"Wife, wife, do you not love me anymore? You only think about those boys!"

Jiang Jinxiu grabbed his hair, "You not only have several sons, but also a daughter! You've become quite successful, yet you're still jealous of your child. I haven't even settled the score with you for what happened earlier."

The children are still breastfeeding, and this shameless man just finished off all the children's food. I wonder if there will be any left for the children to eat when we get back.

Thinking of this, she glanced at him sideways, shook the keys in her hand impatiently, and said, "Tell me, what's going on?"

She had a feeling that this key was the key to the courtyard house she was in.

Does his giving it to her now mean he has already bought the courtyard house?

Gu Xichen patiently explained to her.

It turns out that after completing his last mission, his superiors asked him what reward he wanted, and he simply said he wanted a place to stay. So they gave him three courtyard houses to choose from.

The other two are in relatively good condition upon entry, with minimal damage, and can be checked in directly after some minor software upgrades.

This is the only courtyard house. The people upstairs said that the house is very dilapidated and basically uninhabitable. It needs to be renovated before it can be moved in.

When he first heard about it, he thought he didn't have time to make repairs, so he originally planned to just find a place to stay in the courtyard first, and if it wasn't suitable, he would find another one later.

However, Zhao Guoqiang insisted that he choose this two-courtyard house, saying that the location was good.

He trusted Zhao Guoqiang and took the key.

After some investigation, he found that the location of the courtyard house was indeed quite good, not far from his father-in-law's house and the Zhao family's house. He thought that if his wife lived here, it would be convenient for her to come home.

However, the house was really dilapidated.

Since he didn't have time to come and repair it himself, Zhao Guoqiang directly found someone to help him.

Following his instructions, those people finished the repairs in less than a month.

Thinking of this, he looked at Jiang Jinxiu and said, "Wife, my brother paid for all the people he hired to help repair the house. It cost five hundred in total."

He spent all the money he originally brought with him on odds and ends.

Jiang Jinxiu immediately understood and took out six hundred yuan to give it to him.

Then she got up and dressed. Even though it was already dark, she still wanted to see what the courtyard house looked like.

"Honey, it's so dark, why don't you look at it tomorrow?"

Are you going back to school tomorrow?

Gu Xichen nodded.

"Come on, show me this house." Jiang Jinxiu pulled him up.

Although it was already dark, the lights inside the house were still on, which did not hinder Jiang Jinxiu from getting to know the house.

Under the lamplight, traces of renovation can be seen in the courtyard house.

Jiang Jinxiu led Gu Xichen to look at each room one by one, and found that in addition to the original structure of the courtyard house, Jiang Jinxiu also saw some resemblance to the new house of the Gu family in Gu Village.

She really liked it more and more the more she looked at it.

With so many rooms in this house, it's definitely enough for their whole family.

She plans to move in in a few days.

"Honey, is there anything else you want to buy? Tell me, and I'll go shopping when I have some free time next week."

Jiang Jinxiu shook her head.

Everything here is basically already provided; you can practically move in right away.

When Jiang Jinxiu was inspecting the various rooms, she noticed that some of the furniture was new, while others looked rather old.

So he asked, "Were the furniture and bed left by the previous owner?"

"Yes, that should be it. The people above said that whatever was in the house I received was mine."

When they came to take possession of the apartment, they saw that some of the furniture was still usable, so I kept it. The table and chairs in the living room were one example; some of the furniture was just too worn out, so I replaced it..."

Gu Xichen talked on and on, telling Jiang Jinxiu everything about the house in detail.

The more Jiang Jinxiu listened, the more she felt that her man was really considerate, thinking of almost everything.

She was thinking that the first thing she would do after arriving in Beijing was to buy a house, but her husband had already taken care of that.

The two chatted for a while longer, then decided to head back when it was almost time.

However, before she could even step out the door, Chengzi's voice rang in Jiang Jinxiu's mind.

"Meow meow meow..." Master, there's something good here.

As soon as Jiang Jinxiu released the orange from the space, the orange started running around excitedly.

Jiang Jinxiu and Gu Xichen exchanged a glance and then followed.

Guided by Chengzi, Jiang Jinxiu and the others discovered valuable items under the sofa in the living room, under the bed, and in the backyard.

There were not only small yellow croakers, but also some jewelry and banknotes.

Among the flowerpots in the backyard, there were even several ceramic jars with a history.

What surprised Jiang Jinxiu the most were probably the few ancient Chinese medicine books hidden in the secret compartment under the bed, which were full of a sense of antiquity.

One of them is a journal.

Simply put, it's a notebook containing many case studies, treatment methods, and some insights, but unfortunately, the handwriting is somewhat blurred.

Fortunately, upon closer inspection, it is still possible to discern what is written.

This is all thanks to the neat handwriting. It's clear that the person who wrote it is very meticulous and has a great interest in traditional Chinese medicine.

No wonder she could always faintly smell the fragrance of medicine after stepping into this room.

The previous owner of this house must have been a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine.

Don't ask her why she's so sensitive. Her nose is naturally sensitive, and during her pregnancy, Mr. Xie would occasionally ask her to identify some Chinese herbal medicines.

Surprisingly, she can now name many Chinese herbal medicines.

Jiang Jinxiu was still lost in thought as she held the book when there was a sudden knock on the door.

The sudden sound startled both of them.

Jiang Jinxiu subconsciously put everything into her spatial storage.

Gu Xichen has already gone out to check.

When the door opened, it turned out to be Zhao Guoqiang and his mother-in-law Zhou Wenjing.

Zhao Guoqiang looked anxious, while Zhou Wenjing's face was covered in tears.

"Brother, mother-in-law, what's wrong with you?"

"Xiao Bao, Xiao Bao is missing!"

These words struck Gu Xichen like a thunderbolt, completely stunning him.

His daughter is missing?!

He hurriedly asked what had happened.

Zhou Wenjing told him that the children were crying loudly, and they originally thought they were hungry. When they didn't see Jiang Jinxiu return, they went to make milk powder for them.

But only the older and younger babies obediently drank the formula; the younger baby refused to drink it at all.

They guessed that the little one was used to breastfeeding, so they wanted to pack their things and take her out to find her mother. But as soon as they finished packing, the little one disappeared into thin air.

Jiang Jinxiu heard her mother's voice inside saying that Xiaobao was missing, and she was so frightened that she wanted to rush out to find out what was going on.

Orange stopped her immediately.
