They arrived in Beijing at eight o'clock in the morning. They were not in a hurry and waited for a while before getting off the bus to avoid the crowd outside.

Relatively comfortable.

As I exited the train station, I was greeted by bright sunshine, warm and gentle.

The eyes felt comfortable for a moment.

Qi Sisi moved away a little, but soon adapted and carried the two small suitcases.

Zhao Xingyu was carrying two large bags of clothes. If you knew, you would have thought he was going to purchase goods.

Sister Xu couldn't help but ask, "What did you bring?"

Qi Sisi smiled at her and said, "I brought some clothes with me and planned to sell them in Beijing."

Captain Zhou was stunned and looked at Zhao Xingyu for a second. If he remembered correctly, Xiao Zhao's salary was low, right? He also often received bonuses. Why would he need his wife to sell clothes to support the family?

“She likes it.”

Zhao Xingyu's answer was simple.

If his wife likes it, he will cooperate.

Captain Zhou felt his teeth ache. It was really so. He was only ten years older, but why did it feel like the little girl was becoming more and more clingy, making it unbearable to look at her.

"Let's go!"

Zhao Xingyu took the lead and walked in front. Carrying two large bags of clothes did not seem burdensome at all to him.

Qi Sisi also took big strides to catch up.

Watched it on the roadside for a while.

The two decided to take a taxi.

"We can fit in one car, but we have to put our luggage somewhere else."

“Huh!”

Sister Xu looked around and suddenly found a sign next to her with words she recognized written on it.

"Sisi, Xiao Zhao, look over there!"

A large cardboard with Qi Sisi and Zhao Xingyu's names written on it.

"They have the same name, so they have the same name, right?"

Captain Zhou thought of something and asked, "Who do you know in Beijing? Have you notified your relatives?"

Zhao Xingyu shook his head.

His father and stepmother were in the capital, but he did not inform them.

The old man 떚놊녦땣 is always keeping an eye on him, right?

"I'll go ask."

Zhao Xingyu put down his luggage bag and walked over with big strides.

Qi Si thought along the way and was restrained by his gaze.

He talked to the man for a long time and seemed to be having a great time. There was a stalemate in the middle before he came back.

"How is it?"

Qi Sisi also guessed that 녦땣 was here to pick them up.

"My father sent someone."

Zhao Xingyu looked a little helpless. He was willing, but the other party was also a soldier and had received orders. He thought that if he cooperated, the other party would be affected...

Besides, I had originally planned to visit.

"We'll go there first. Brother Zhou, please go to the guesthouse and reserve a room for us. I'll pay you back later."

Visiting is one thing, but Zhao Xingyu has no plan to actually live at home, which would be much more convenient.

He had no impression of his stepmother, but he knew what kind of person she was, so he wanted to give her a chance to embarrass Sisi.

"늅!"

"It's not a big deal, why would I bother with you about it?" Captain Zhou punched him on the shoulder and laughed heartily.

Zhao Xingyu curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and did not pursue the topic further.

Following the people who came to pick them up, the couple got on the jeep and said goodbye to Captain Zhou and his wife.

"Xiao Zhao's family seems to be in the wrong condition?" Sister Xu thought of this belatedly. He asked the army jeep to pick him up, so he must be a low-ranking official.

"You just thought of that?"

Captain Zhou looked proud and said, "I can tell at a glance that little Zhao has a different temperament. Moreover, he was raised in the home of Deputy Commander Qi. His father must have held a similar official position."

"Then their statuses are quite compatible."

This is about the marriage of Zhao Xingyu and Qi Sisi.

......

It was very quiet in the car.

The person who picked them up was focused on driving and didn't say a word.

Zhao Xingyu originally wanted to ask something, but he swallowed his words and just held his wife's hand silently.

Qi Sisi was concentrating on looking at the environment outside the window.

She had been to the capital, but decades later.

Unlike the simplicity at that time, the capital city was prosperous decades later, with high-rise buildings everywhere, looking like a completely new city.

"I'll take you around the capital later. Some of the attractions here are quite nice."

Zhao Xingyu thought she wanted to play, so he made a promise.

"Um!"

Qi Sisi didn't say much and just agreed with a smile.

She had seen all those sights before, and they were full of history, just like this kind of city.

but.

It is meaningful to review it again with the people around you.

The jeep headed all the way to the military area.

After Zhao Xingyu found the way, he said nothing.

It's not surprising that the old man lives in the military area. He always regards the army as his home, and doesn't know where his real home is.

Arrived at the place.

The driver took out his ID and greeted the guard. Zhao Xingyu also handed over his military ID and marriage certificate.

The other party checked the person and let him go.

All the way to your doorstep.

It's a small Western-style building.

"The chief should still be in the office now. You can stay there first. The room has been cleaned up."

The driver got out of the car and formally introduced himself.

He is Commander Zhao's security officer Wang Bin. He received the mission and went out specifically to pick them up.

"Wang Bin, what is this?"

A pretty woman came over. She was wearing a simple cheongsam and had her hair tied up. She looked gentle and approachable.

"Commander Zhao has ordered the people who picked us up to stay at home. If you have any questions, you can ask the commander."

Wang Bin answered briefly, without any unnecessary emotion on his face, like a robot.

Liu Qin's face froze. She tried to force a smile and looked at Zhao Xingyu, expecting him to say something.

"Hello, ma'am. Sorry to bother you."

Zhao Xingyu guessed that the other party wanted to see him. In a good family of three, what stepmother would be happy to have a burden like him?

So what if it's too late.

He didn't want to stay either. Whoever lets the old man make his own decision, he should just bear with it!

"You are... Xingyu, right?"

Liu Qin then pretended to have just recognized him. After all, it was the old man who made the decision for the couple to stay, and it could not be changed. If she cooperated, she would think it was her fault.

"Oh my, you've grown so big in the blink of an eye. I almost didn't recognize you." Liu Qin smiled and seemed really happy to see this stepmother.

Zhao Xingyu hid a strange smile on his face and said lightly: "I sent a letter after I got married, and I brought our marriage certificate with me. It seems that my father didn't show it to you..."

The smile on Liu Qin's lips froze, and her face looked unhappy.

Of course she saw it. She just wanted to show Ji a little power, but she didn't expect that she would be returned the favor in the blink of an eye.

"Of course I saw it. I just didn't recognize it at first." Liu Qin smiled and made amends.

"Captain Zhao, let me take you to see the room first. You can come to me if you have any questions." Wang Bin suddenly interrupted.

"good!"

Zhao Xingyu is very satisfied with this title.

Captain Zhao had worked hard to become the commander through his own efforts, so he was more valuable than the young master of the commander's family.

The room is located on the first floor.

"The commander usually lives in the first room, which has the same layout as this one."

There are not many rooms on the first floor, only six.

The study is sandwiched between two large rooms.

On the side is the utility room, bathroom and kitchen.

"They're separated?"

Zhao Xingyu caught this information and was very sure.

"When the commander is tired, he will snore when he sleeps..."

Wang Bin said it implicitly.

Zhao Xingyu raised his eyelids and didn't ask any more questions.

What does the old man's private affairs have to do with him!

The room is quite large and spacious, yet relatively empty.

There was a big bed, a closet, a desk, a dressing mirror, and all the furniture was available, but it was empty, with nothing in it.
