Chapter 519: Not Found
Things went very smoothly on Xu Zijin's side, but there was no progress on Lu Hanzhou's side.
The public security departments of the three provinces jointly conducted an inspection of all guesthouses along the way, but did not find any trace of Li Shanshan and Li Chunhua.
Seeing that their business showed no signs of being completed, Xu Zijin decided to leave first. She wanted to go back and see the newly built house.
Lu Hanzhou was worried about her going alone, so he asked a soldier to accompany her and personally sent her to the train.
"Wait for me at home. I'll check for a few more days. If I can't find anyone, I'll go back."
"knew."
Xu Zijin nodded.
At half past six, the train started moving. Lu Hanzhou then returned to the guesthouse and called Captain Gu.
After listening to the report, Captain Gu was silent for a long time before speaking: "So, these two people should have had an accident on the train."
Lu Hanzhou also thought so: "Captain, apart from this possibility, I can't think of where the problem could go wrong."
“From the provincial capital to Guang Province, there are a total of 28 stops.”
"After getting off the bus, these people will definitely not enter the guesthouse. It will be too difficult to find them."
That's for sure.
If this is true, it would be really troublesome. In such a vast sea of people, the possibility of finding these two people is almost zero.
Even though he knew this, Captain Gu couldn't just give up.
Frowning, he instructed Lu Hanzhou: "Wait a few more days. After the information from each station is collected, you can sort it out and try to make new progress."
"If there is still no news, then withdraw it."
"yes!"
Because the missing person was a military wife, the local public security department took it very seriously and specially dispatched elite forces to work together with the small team sent by the army.
Lu Hanzhou knew that no matter how difficult it was, he couldn't give up easily.
As for the whereabouts of Li Chunhua and Li Shanshan, Xu Zijin didn't care.
The accompanying soldiers sent her directly to Xu Zimei's home before leaving. She stayed at her sister's house that night.
"Aunt, what is this tape recorder for?"
After returning from school, the three children looked at their aunt very affectionately.
When they saw the recorder, affection turned to curiosity.
Xu Zijin plugged in the power and demonstrated it to them step by step. Soon, a clear and soulful singing voice came out...
"The cicadas on the banyan tree beside the pond are calling out for summer"
"Only butterflies rest on the swing by the grass"
…
The beautiful singing immediately attracted the two older children.
"It sounds great, auntie, this song is so beautiful."
Xu Zimei's eldest daughter is almost ten years old, and the little girl is at the age when she likes this thing.
She looked at Xu Zijin and shouted excitedly...
Popular songs from Hong Kong, a collection of children's stories, English primers and preschool literacy cards.
She took out everything that could be taken out in this era.
Call a few children and ask them to study hard.
Xu Zijin also promised that if students ranked in the top five in the class in two major exams at the end of this semester, each of them would receive a bicycle.
The younger one is only four years old and doesn’t quite understand.
But when the two older ones heard this, they almost hugged their aunt and shouted "Long live!"
That night, Xu Zimei called her younger brother and his wife over.
Xu Zijin also brought them a tape recorder.
Looking at this new thing, Yu Fangfang hugged it tightly with joy, and was reluctant to let go for a long time.
But after hearing the price, the thing in her arms seemed to burn her instantly, and she quickly put it down: "What? Four hundred yuan for one?"
"Little sister, this is too expensive!"
Xu Zijin smiled and said, "Don't worry, this is my factory price, only two hundred and eighty yuan per piece."
Two hundred and eighty is also expensive.
Yu Fangfang felt a toothache when she thought about her monthly salary of only 46.5 yuan.
Turning around, she looked at Xu Zimei: "Sister, I'll leave this thing with you first. I want to take it back. It will definitely be taken away in a few days."
Xu Zimei knew the two brothers of the Yu family very well, especially Yu Fangfang's two sisters-in-law, each one was more shameless than the other, and she didn't know how to evaluate them.
She nodded: "It's okay, let me put it here first."
"The new house will be topped off in another month, and in another three or four months, you will have a new home."
"When the time comes, Dad will come over to live with us. I think they will be too embarrassed to come to our house to get things."
I hope so.
Xu Zijin was a little speechless about the Yu family.
But my sister-in-law is too honest.
As soon as her mother shed a tear, her nephews and nieces would come running over to move the things.
The "three turns and one ring" bought by the Xu family is said to have become the property of the Yu family.
dowry?
It would be considered generous to have several quilts by then.
Xu Zimei lives in the house where her husband works.
It has two bedrooms and a living room, which is small and shabby. The housing quality is really poor.
Thinking of this, Xu Zijin spoke up: "Sister, the house has three floors, the third floor belongs to you."
"You move to the third floor, my brother and sister-in-law live on the second floor, and when I come back, I'll live on the first floor with dad."
"If you move over there, the Yu family won't dare to come here again, and when my sister-in-law gives birth, there will be someone to help take care of her."
As soon as she said this, Yu Fangfang narrowed her eyes and smiled. She looked at Xu Zimei and said, "Sister, I'll tell you, right?"
"My little sister will definitely let you move in with me, you still don't believe it."
"An elder sister is like a mother. You know my temper. If you don't move in, I won't be able to keep the good things at home."
"Also, your family will be more lively when they move in."
Xu Zimei is a very conservative person. She thinks that a daughter who is married off is like water spilled, and if she returns to live in her parents' home she will be gossiped about.
But she also knew that her children were all grown up, and this old and dilapidated house of more than 30 square meters could no longer accommodate them.
"this……"
Seeing that his elder sister was still hesitating, Xu Zijin immediately interrupted her.
"Don't be so picky. This house belongs to the three of us, brothers and sisters. Anyone can live here."
"It's settled now. No matter what happens to this house in the future, it will belong to the three of us brothers and sisters."
"Dad said he doesn't want it."
Xu Zimei knew that when her father said no, he really meant it.
He said that no matter how much the house might be worth in the future, it would always belong to the three of them.
"Okay, then, I'll give you one thousand dollars."
Okay.
Xu Zijin knew what her sister meant, she wanted to save face.
"Okay, let's put it this way. I'll leave the task of finding someone to customize the furniture to you."
"I heard that my brother-in-law has acquaintances at the furniture factory."
"Once the house is built, I will have someone design the blueprints, and then make the furniture according to the blueprints."
Now Xu Zimei felt relieved.
She nodded: "Okay, I'll do it."
The next day, Xu Zijin and Xu Zikang went to see the new house together.
At the construction site, workers are busy working.
Xu Zikang looked at the new building rising from the ground with admiration on his face: "Jiaojiao, your idea of first tying up the steel frame and then pouring cement into it is really good."
"Houses built this way are strong and will not be affected by earthquakes."
"It means you have to spend a lot more money. I heard from the master that this will increase the cost by two-fifths."
