When He Xiasheng had a difficult delivery, his emotions collapsed for a time. He submitted a report requesting to retire. He had even decided to become an instructor for new recruits or do clerical work.
As a result, he was called to the office by the head of the group and scolded severely, and told to give up this useless idea as soon as possible. However, he was experienced and saw that Qiao Rui was a fool, so he did not talk to him about the interests of the country and the nation, but only said.
"Your wife is the chief of surgery. You should work harder to climb up the ladder, at least to my position to be worthy of her. But you are not only not making progress, but also going backwards. If you tell others about it, you will be laughed at. How can she feel proud when her husband is a failure?
Defending our country includes your wife and children. So, you can't lift a knife anymore and want to put their safety in someone else's hands?"
Qiao Rui had an epiphany and never mentioned retiring to the second line again. However, he was not as radical as before and was not the first to take on any task. He spent more time with his wife.
He turned his head, and He Xiasheng's eyes were like a sparkling lake, always clear and filled with fanatical admiration.
Bathed in this pure gaze all day long, how could he not feel the same way?
"Wife, I know you are worried about my future, but I am currently focused on stability. Nothing is more important than you. Since Huo Tingxun is determined to fight for it, just give it to him."
"No, why should you give your things to him? You're not his father! Oh, now I remember, weren't his parents sent down to a nearby province?
I asked him what he was busy with, and it turned out he was trying to meet someone secretly. Did you guess it a long time ago and hide it from me? "
"I'm just worried you'll be too impulsive. He hasn't had an easy time these past few years. His parents were sent down to the countryside, his ex-wife divorced him, and the caregivers he hired at home were always mean to the children. He brought the children with him this time, perhaps wanting them to see their grandparents. I'm just trying to help him out."
He Xiasheng pinched him from under the quilt. "Why didn't he just say it directly? Even you, the battalion commander, openly used a mission to come back to visit your family. Would you have disagreed if he had told you in advance? He's using those sneaky tricks. Who knows what he's thinking?"
"Hiss~"
Qiao Rui snorted softly, no longer arguing with her over irrelevant people. He turned over and hugged her waist, "Wife, it's late at night. Let's not talk about him and talk about something private."
He Xiasheng's face flushed, and he nudged him with his elbow, "You're annoying, go to sleep."
…
Huo Tingxun's itinerary with two children was not secret. Not only did Qiao Rui vaguely guess something, but Sun Laiyi knew it even better.
Seeing that the two of them were in the same city, she was so excited that she couldn't accept herself hiding and wandering like a beggar.
She risked her life to go to the market and ask the other party to pay the deposit again, and the boss actually gave her the money.
The moment she got the money, the first thing she did was to take the forged letter of introduction to the guesthouse to get a room, take a hot bath, buy an old cadre uniform, and then wander around on the road, waiting for a chance encounter.
"I have an idea."
He Ruixue's imagination runs wild while she's at work.
If Jiang Yanxu approaches the heroine and uses his bad luck to influence her, while he approaches the hero, will he be judged as one of his future golden fingers and thus become a person with fake luck?
As one side gains strength while the other loses, the strength of both sides changes. At that time, the heroine will be dealt with first, and then the hero will be taken away in one go.
But she was just thinking about it and had no intention of actually implementing it. There is no free lunch in the world, and a short-term gain means a long-term loss.
The heroine's fake luck was almost entirely drained away by her blood, and even after rebirth she couldn't escape the curse. This thing is really poisonous.
Perhaps it was God who brought the two together. While Sun Laiyi was having dinner, she ran into Huo Tingxun's two children who had quietly run out. She hurried over and patiently talked to them, invited them to dinner, and took them to the store for a stroll, buying them a lot of toys.
After all, she had been someone's mother for more than ten years, and she knew their vital points and preferences very accurately. In a short while, the brother and sister became close to her, hugging her affectionately and calling her aunt.
When Huo Tingxun hurried over, he saw the heartwarming scene of the three of them sitting on a bench playing with building blocks. His expression relaxed, "Comrade, thank you. I'm sorry to bother you."
"No, I like them both very much. You must be careful next time. What if they really get lost?"
He nodded coldly and offered to give her a thank-you fee, but Sun Laiyi naturally refused.
Huo Tingxun asked her about her job again, and she stammered that she worked in a textile factory, doing financial work.
The two chatted for a while, and Sun Laiyi's deliberate attempt to please him made Huo Tingxun feel comfortable, but also aroused his suspicion. This person's kindness to him and the child came inexplicably, yet he always managed to attract his attention unconsciously. It was just too coincidental.
Thinking of their mission, a strange look appeared on his face. It seemed that he had to investigate it carefully.
He Ruixue shook her head when she saw Sun Laiyi's desperate look. Too much is as bad as too little. The hexagram of Zefeng Daguo that Jiang Yanxu had predicted back then might have come true for her.
She also took this as a lesson to remind herself not to be anxious and to take it slow.
Anyway, she didn't believe that even after she ruined the plot like this, they could still become a couple as described in the book.
Fang Wanggui's progress was also smooth. He found the place where Sun Laiyi hid the food. However, he also said, "Besides me, there are other people investigating, but they are not as fast as me."
He Ruixue had guessed long ago that those who dared to buy large quantities of grain without knowing the reason were all ruthless people, so how could they let her make money so easily?
The deposit was given earlier probably to test whether she had any accomplices or backers. Sun Laiyi's disguise was not tight, and those people found that it would not cause too much trouble, so they wanted to rob her.
