"Old Chief, what brings us here?" Chen Jianguo was a native of Zhao Family Village.
But he had no idea that there were other hidden places in the village. He looked around, touched the tree trunks, and found some that were thick enough to be used as roof beams.
It's winter now, and everything around us is covered in white snow. In the distance is a village, and it takes about 20 minutes to walk here.
Chen Jianguo had to admire the old commander's physical strength.
Old Man Yi pulled something out of nowhere and handed it over.
"The address above also contains the key, and there's something hidden there. You take it!"
Chen Jianguo looked at the things, but he was confused.
"Old Chief, what is that?"
Old Man Yi took a deep breath. To be honest, if it weren't for Su Yatou's safety, he really wouldn't want to find Chen Jianguo.
"Just one box, that's enough to bring back!"
Chen Jianguo scratched his head and didn't ask any more questions. Old Man Yi waved him away.
Chen Jianguo took the man to the cowshed and then went home.
"Uncle, are you going for a stroll?"
Old Man Yi was surprised to see Gu Zongwei at the door and was glad he hadn't met Jian Guo here.
"Yeah, my old bones are getting stiff, I need to go out for a walk and get some exercise!"
Gu Zongwei nodded, and after everyone went inside, he frowned, but found nothing, so he went back to rest.
After Su Xia and Chen Jianguo returned, they learned that the old man had come to him to retrieve something.
She didn't show her shock, but as the saying goes, those who live in the moment are not simple people.
"Wife, what else do you think the old man still has?"
"The house was taken back, my salary stopped, and I have no family..."
Su Xia turned over and went back to sleep, letting Chen Jianguo nag on.
The next day, Su Xia and Chen Jianguo left. Niu Niu wasn't worried because she had been notified in advance.
My baby is already crying, but I never expected my second baby to cry.
Waaah...
"Mother, why aren't you taking anything back with you?"
Su Xia.....
Xiao Bao and Xiao Niu Niu were also very curious. Because they were young, even though Su Xia said she wouldn't see her for a few days, they didn't seem to understand.
"Alright, Mother has something to do this time, she'll be back in a week!"
Erbao held Su Xia tightly, not letting go...
Su Xia wanted to hold him for a while, but when she saw that time was almost up, she pulled away.
"Stay home and be good. We'll bring you delicious food and toys when you come back!"
Erbao pouted, refusing to agree.
Su Xia sighed, "Listen to me, I'll take you with me every time we go out!"
Erbao looked up and nodded gently.
"Goodbye, Mom!" Little girl.
"Mom...don't forget to buy food for Xiaobao!"
"Father and Mother, don't worry, I will take good care of my younger brother and sister!"
Su Xia and Chen Jianguo nodded, and said to Chen's mother, "Father and Mother, thank you for your hard work!"
"Let's go, the sooner we go, the sooner we'll be back!"
Su Xia sat on the back of the bicycle, looking at the children getting further and further away, still feeling a little reluctant to part with them.
Upon arriving in the county town, the two went to the train station and boarded the train to the capital. Su Xia breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's wrong? Do you want some water?" Chen Jianguo handed over the water bottle.
Su Xia took a sip, glanced at the surroundings, and was extremely satisfied. Having someone by your side makes things much easier.
Chen Jianguo booked the upper and lower berths, while Su Xia chose the upper one. Silence fell.
"Take a nap first, you should rest too!" Su Xia said, closed her eyes, and fell asleep in no time.
Chen Jianguo sighed, then covered himself with a blanket before going to school. He rested for a while and soon fell asleep as well.
Trains are slow these days, and the journey was long, so Su Xia and Chen Jianguo spent three whole days traveling to Beijing.
Su Xia stepped out of the station, took a deep breath of fresh air, and stretched.
"Finally, it's over!"
Chen Jianguo carried a handbag and followed behind Su Xia to protect her.
Seeing that she looked well, I felt relieved.
Su Xia happily asked Chen Jianguo, "Where are we going?"
Chen Jianguo found the address: "Go to the guesthouse, everything is arranged here!"
"Hey...not bad, Comrade Chen Jianguo, now when you go on a business trip, someone even makes special arrangements!"
Chen Jianguo was speechless. He pulled her forward to find a car.
"It's all arranged by the company, look at what you're saying!"
Su Xia chuckled to herself, "I didn't think too much about it, I just thought it would be convenient to come out with you!"
She didn't need to worry about anything, including accommodation and train tickets; she even prepared some food for the journey.
Chen Jianguo led Su Xia to the bus stop, and Su Xia looked around curiously.
She knew it was the capital city after the war, but it was filled with skyscrapers.
What it is now, it's a building, but the tallest is only 5 stories, all are red brick buildings.
After walking for a while, Su Xia saw rows of blue brick houses and couldn't help but swallow hard.
It would be great if we could just buy here; this will be the future Second Ring Road.
"Xiaxia..."
"Ah... what's wrong?" Su Xia looked at Chen Jianguo.
"You've called me several times, what are you thinking about?"
Su Xia shook her head. "It's nothing. By the way, does Geya know we're arriving today?"
Chen Jianguo nodded, "I know. Tell them there's a meeting tomorrow, and I'll go see them the day after tomorrow!"
Su Xia nodded, "Okay, then tomorrow I'll look around on my own, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Jianguo wanted to object, but he knew that his words would not carry any weight.
"Not going to faraway places?"
Su Xia nodded in delight upon hearing this, "Don't worry, I won't go far, and besides, I'm not a child anymore!"
Chen Jianguo's lips twitched. He had already guessed that his wife would be like a kite with a broken string, going out in the morning and returning in the evening.
Su Xia looked at the scenery outside the car window with excitement, planning where to go tomorrow.
Upon arriving in Beijing, Su Xia looked at the buildings before her and was shocked by the city's development.
Chen Jianguo, standing next to him, remarked, "Last time I came, it was all single-story houses, but now it's all multi-story buildings!"
"That's the staff housing over there, and they're still building behind it!"
Su Xia looked in that direction and sure enough, there was a construction site that had stopped behind her. It was winter now, and they would wait until spring.
After going to the guesthouse with Chen Jianguo and checking in, Su Xia lay down on the bed, exhausted.
Chen Jianguo then tidied up the things the two had brought, went to fetch water, borrowed a basin, and came back to take off Su Xia's shoes and let her soak her feet.
"This feels so good...!"
Su Xia, who had been served thoroughly, sighed with satisfaction.
Chen Jianguo smiled and helped with the massage, "I'll take you out to eat later!"
"Okay, I've heard that Peking duck is especially famous in Beijing, shall we go and eat some?"
Chen Jianguo was speechless. "The roast duck shop is too far from here. Besides, look at what time it is!"
Su Xia looked out the window and saw that it was getting dark. She sighed in disappointment.
"I'll take you there when I'm done with this!"
Su Xia was very satisfied. "I'll pack a few for my mother, second and third sons, and all the family members!"
"I'm going to the supermarket again to buy things for the kids, and I won't forget Niu Niu's book!"
"I heard this is the Qiaohui branch, and I'd like to check it out. I'm not sure if the guy managed to exchange the tickets yet?"
As Su Xia spoke and made arrangements, she suddenly remembered something and excitedly sat up, "Jianguo, how about we go to the tollbooth one more time?"
Chen Jianguo wiped Su Xia's feet, tucked her into the quilt, and then started soaking himself in the remaining water.
Looking into Su Xia's bright eyes, he said, "Wherever you want to go, we'll go this time!"
Su Xia rolled around excitedly, "You're so smart! You got Lin to send a message with no time limit!"
What Chen Jianguo didn't say was that he guessed his wife would be satisfied and would go back, so he sent a letter of introduction without any time limit.
