While eating, Yu Sui still listened carefully to what Xia Lin said.
At this time, she nodded: "It's fine. However, people are always changing. Now your mind is clear, but when you become successful and people flatter you, your mind might not be clear anymore. You don't know, at first he asked me about Li Lili's whereabouts, and I said nothing. But then, I don't know who he heard that Li Lili was married and had children, so he finally let it go."
Xia Lin: "Don't laugh at him. This is also his honesty. This guy is still loyal. He told me more than once that you gave him a job for you and helped him a lot. He will treat you as his own sister from now on. If I dare to let you down, he will strangle me to death!"
"Ha! He said that?" Yu Sui jumped up from her seat excitedly.
Xia Lin's smiling face slowly faded: "Are you... still happy?"
"Of course! Another person is helping me."
"Are you stupid? I won't let you down. How can they possibly help you?"
"Then you must remember your words. Don't do anything to let me down while I'm away."
It was Xia Lin's turn to jump up from his seat: "Wife, tell me, what is it that I have done to let you down? I can't imagine what I could have done to let you down."
Yu Sui smirked: "It's simple, like looking at other women a few more times!"
Xia Lin was staring at her at first, but after saying this, he was stunned for a moment, then he started laughing. He laughed so hard that he spun around in the room, and even couldn't stand up. He fell down on the kang, and with a "bang", the little Tangyuan who was sleeping on the inside of the kang twitched in fear.
The couple fell silent immediately.
Yu Sui was still checking to see if the child was woken up.
Fortunately, the little guy twisted a few times and fell asleep again.
Yu Sui glared at Xia Lin with an angry look: "What's so funny!"
Xia Linye hooked her arm around Yu Sui's neck and whispered into her ear, "Why would I look at any other woman besides you in this world? It's so funny when you say that."
The hot air made Yu Sui's ears itchy, and Xia Lin's claws also rubbed Yu Sui, making her feel itchy, and the hot kang became hot again.
Life is so happy.
Since she no longer had to review, Yu Sui would occasionally call the printing factory to inquire about the progress of printing. Her daily routine was to sleep with her son until he woke up, wait for a reply from home, and then arrange her schedule back to the capital.
But it was strange that more than ten days had passed since the letter was sent, and there was no telegram from home asking whether Sun Yuying was willing to help take care of the children in the capital.
Yu Sui was a little anxious and wanted to call the post office to ask, but she didn't want to let her son freeze outdoors, so she was a little embarrassed.
Xia Linbei comforted her: "You know, our mother is so frugal. Maybe they don't want to spend money on the telegram. I guess I'd better write to tell you. Otherwise, you can wait a few more days to see if there is any letter."
Yu Sui believed this and couldn't help but sigh, "Alas, but I wrote them clearly in the letter that I will leave on February 10th at the latest. After all, I still need to rent a house and settle the children. I asked them to reply as soon as possible. My mother wouldn't be so excessive, but she really is."
Xia Lin was reluctant to let Yu Sui and her son leave, so she thought the longer they stayed, the better. She continued to speak well of Sun Yuying, "After all, they also have things to do in the fields. Just wait another three or four days. If they still don't reply, I'll make a long-distance call for you."
Unexpectedly, Yu Sui received a call from the security office that afternoon:
"Is this Captain Xia's house? Sister-in-law, there's a guy standing at the gate for a long time. We didn't want to bother him at first, but he tried to get in several times, so we asked him about it. He said he's Captain Xia's younger brother and he's here to see you. Is that true?"
Yu Sui was completely stunned: "What? Brother? Did he say his name?"
Guard: "He said his name was Xia Bingbi."
Yu Sui was speechless for a while.
After hanging up the phone, she immediately called Xia Lin'er and asked Xia Lin'er to go to the door to identify the person and deal with the matter first. She would wait at home, but she couldn't help but pace back and forth in anger, feeling uneasy.
The family is about to prepare for the move to the capital, and there is no one to help take care of the children at the moment, so they will be very busy. Why did this younger brother suddenly come here?
It's really strange.
Yu Sui waited angrily for half an hour, and Xia Linbei came back with someone.
When he opened the door and came in, Xia Lin'er's face was not looking good. It could be felt that he was holding back a lot of anger, but he couldn't express it.
The man behind him was wrapped in a tattered navy blue cotton-padded jacket and looked very thin. The hat on his head seemed to be Xia Lin's old wind hood, which was too big and almost covered half of his head and face. His clothes and pants were covered with coal dust and mud, and the tattered cotton shoes on his feet had a hole in them, revealing the grayish-white cotton wool inside.
In short, he looked like a complete beggar.
As for the face, the man kept his head down, so Yu Sui couldn't see it clearly.
Then he heard Xia Linbei telling him, "Come in first and ask your sister-in-law to change your clothes first."
But the person who followed him stood at the door and didn't move.
Xia Lin couldn't help but raise his voice a little: "I told you to come in first! Don't I have to close the door? It's so cold, the wind will come in if you open the door, and your nephew will be frozen!"
The man then stepped in.
Xia Linbei closed the door, turned around and met Yu Sui's eyes, his face full of helplessness and fatigue: "Sui, that's not my brother. It's Xiao'e. My sister."
Yu Sui opened her mouth wide and took a long time to close it.
younger sister?
What happened? Fleeing?
Xia Lin obviously didn't know how she got here, so she went to the kitchen to boil water.
Yu Sui held the child in her arms and looked at Xia Xiao'e again.
The more I look at it, the weirder it gets.
The navy blue cotton jacket had been washed white, and the two patches on the knees of the pants were particularly conspicuous. Even in the 1970s, ordinary people would not wear such clothes, let alone a little girl.
What is her plan of coming to see Xia Linbei dressed like this?
Xia Xiao'e seemed to sense Yu Sui's gaze, and slowly raised her head and nodded, looking at Yu Sui timidly from the edge of her hat: "...Sister-in-law."
Apparently, Xia Xiao'e knew Yu Sui.
But Yu Sui had no memory of her after traveling through time.
Yu Sui took a deep breath: "It's warmer in the house, take off your hat first." Since she was already here, she had to find out the situation.
Xia Xiao'e then took off her hat and held it in her hands, but still kept her head down.
Yu Sui saw her uneven short hair, which did not look like it was cut by a barber, but rather like it was simply cut short by someone.
This made it impossible to tell that Xia Xiao'e was a girl.
So, this was her preparation to tell the guards that she was Xia Linbei's younger brother?
