144. Chapter 144 144 Two people chatting



Shi Liu and the others were immediately accommodated in the military district guesthouse, which was usually used by the families of soldiers visiting their families. The last time Shi Liu visited Shi Jiandang in Yun Province, she had also stayed in this military guesthouse. However, the guesthouse in Haishi Military District was much better built. After all, Haishi was more prosperous, so it was normal for it to be better built.

Zhao Juan looked at the clean guesthouse and whispered, "Shiliu, let's share a room." Although the room rate was not expensive, it would still be a considerable expense over a few days, and she didn't bring much money with her when she came.

Shi Liu didn't want to sleep in the same room with other people: "Sister Juanzi, you know I always have my own room. If there are other people in the room, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep." She was not lying. When she lived in the dormitory, her sleep quality was extremely poor. Finally, the old man couldn't stand it anymore and bought her a small house. She was finally relieved.

Zhao Juan felt embarrassed to let her little cousin suffer, so she had to give up. She felt bad that she had to pay more than double the rent for nothing.

Shi Liu knew that Zhao Juan's action was not only due to fear, but more importantly, she was reluctant to spend money, so she had no intention of asking Zhao Juan to help her pay the rent. In her opinion, three or twenty yuan was nothing.

Zhao Juan looked at Shi Liu with some embarrassment. This trip to the military district was for her business, and all the expenses along the way should have been paid by her, but she was really short of money. She secretly thought that when she had more money in the future, she would definitely repay her little cousin...

The relief food hasn't arrived yet, and seeing that their family members have been convicted, the group, like dead pigs fearing boiling water, refused to hand over the food. Finally, the police had no choice but to give their family the food from the next year's food distribution, but that would have to wait until the village had a grain distribution. Lately, all our food has been bought through my aunt's help. Although the price wasn't too high out of my aunt's favor, it's still not cheap to feed the whole family.

Alas! The eldest and second sisters also sent food when they learned about the family's situation. Fortunately, they were directly divided out by their parents-in-law because they gave birth to daughters in succession, otherwise they would not have been able to send food this time. Thinking of this, Zhao Juan couldn't help but sigh that her two sisters were good at controlling their husbands.

After sitting in the car for a long time, Shi Liu felt that all her bones were stiff. She just wanted to go into the space bubble bath and relax.

Unlike the nervous Zhao Juan, Shi Liu was only worried about Zhou Pan getting hurt and was not worried about his life. After all, if he really couldn't beat him, he could hide in the island space.

Just as Shi Liu was thinking about this, she felt another breath in the space. Her eyes suddenly lit up. It was Zhou Pan who came in. So, she hurried out of the bathtub and said, "Speak of the devil, here comes the devil. I was just wondering when you would enter the space, and you appeared as soon as I turned around. Could it be that you really have encountered a difficult situation?"

Zhou Pan walked in with a smile, picked up a towel and went forward to help Shi Liu wipe her hair: "The mission may not be easy for others, but it is nothing to me."

Shi Liu didn't care about Zhou Pan's arrogance. What attracted her to Zhou Pan in the first place was his unruly aura.

"Just keep it in mind." She wouldn't interfere too much with the rest. After all, in her opinion, even a husband and wife are two independent individuals. They are all adults and it is better for them to make their own decisions on many things.

Shi Liu then turned to talk about what she had seen on the train. "I don't know what my luck is, I always run into human traffickers. Luckily, your comrade Wang Zhe was very capable. I guess he busted all the human traffickers on that train."

After hearing Shi Liu's experience, Zhou Pan was speechless. Could it be that Shi Liu was the nemesis of human traffickers? Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?

"Then be more careful when you go out next time, and don't be careless. It will be troublesome if something happens to you." Zhou Pan scratched his head in annoyance. He would like Shi Liu to stay at home all day, but the key point is that Shi Liu himself may not be willing to do so.

"I'll be careful. Did your mission go well? Will you be back tomorrow?"

Shi Liu was not an inexperienced girl, so she naturally knew the risks behind this matter. But as the saying goes, this matter was not something she could control at all. She could only secretly remind herself to be more careful and not to capsize in the ditch.

"We'll probably be able to go back around noon tomorrow. There's a small market nearby that was secretly run by people from several villages. The higher-ups know a little about it, but they won't bother with minor incidents. You can take Zhao Juan and have a look around without worry."

When mentioning Zhao Juan, Shi Liu thought of her previous behavior. In fact, she couldn't blame her because her second aunt's family was in financial difficulty, otherwise she wouldn't have done that. It's just that the closeness between them in their hearts was less.

Zhou Pan raised his eyebrows when he saw this and asked softly, "Why are you not getting along well with your cousin?"

Shi Liu shook her head and said, "Her character is fine, otherwise my mother wouldn't have wanted me to help with matchmaking. It's just that we grew up in very different environments and our spending philosophies are a bit different. I don't think shopping with her would be very enjoyable."

"If you don't like it, just don't bring the other person with you."

In Zhou Pan's opinion, if he doesn't like someone, he shouldn't have any contact with them. As a child of destiny, no one can make him feel uneasy except Shi Liu.

Shi Liu didn't think it was a big deal. It was normal for people to have different life experiences and different perspectives on things. Although there were some unsatisfactory aspects, it did not prevent her from getting to know Zhao Juan.

"Don't worry, if I really don't like her, I will naturally disdain to pay attention to her." She also has a good temper.

Zhou Pan carefully observed Shi Liu's expression and found that she was indeed not forcing herself. He then put Zhao Juan's matter aside and said, "By the way, have you been to the study? I unexpectedly obtained a batch of books during this mission. I took a quick look and found that there are quite a few family heirlooms from aristocratic families. They seem to contain some secrets and secret recipes."

Of course, Zhou Pan did collect quite a few books in the study, but unfortunately she had read most of them in her previous life. Except for some books she liked very much, she didn't want to read the rest a second time. Now the books Zhou Pan brought were all her spiritual food. Thinking of this, Shi Liu's mouth curled up.

Zhou Pan's mouth corners couldn't help but rise, he knew that Shi Liu would like it, so he deliberately smuggled these books in when no one was paying attention.

"Are you hungry? Is there anything you want to eat? I'll go cook."

Shi Liu hadn't had much to eat or drink on the train these past few days, and she had been craving for food for a long time. When Zhou Pan mentioned cooking, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva: "I want crab roe buns, beef vermicelli soup, and seafood porridge..."
