Si Lu had been waiting at the door for a long time. When he saw Jiang Yan coming out, he quickly turned the car around.

"You're quite punctual today. You didn't have to work overtime."

"Recently, things are going well." Jiang Yan jumped into the back seat of the car. "Let's go."

"As ordered."

Si Lu got on his bike and took the person directly to the rental courtyard.

The originally empty house has undergone a major transformation. There are two large wardrobes in each room, a large round table in the entrance hall of the main house, and several benches and chairs.

A bed was added to the wing room and even a stove was installed.

"This is too fast, the progress is so fast." Jiang Yan looked at every room, touched the cabinets, and smiled: "Where did you buy it from? It was delivered so quickly."

"It's a second-hand store, don't you know?"

"Thanks to Si Lu, you have no idea how much effort he put in. He went to the store to pick it out first, then took us over to see it, and finally negotiated with the store staff to have the items delivered to us."

The furniture in the second-hand store is not delivered. Although the distance is not far, it takes a lot of work to move it. Fortunately, it was done.

"This is good, it's not a waste."

"That's right, look at this bed, it's made of good materials." Li Yuejin said, "Just get two beds and turn on the stove, and it won't be cold at night."

People in the past were used to sleeping on hard beds and hard kangs, and soldiers were even more so. They could not adapt to beds that were too soft.

"The bedding is okay and doesn't cost much." She still has a lot of labor protection mattresses and quilts in her space. They are the old coarse cloth ones from the past. You can't tell that they are products of the new era at all. They are just right for use.

"There are still many things missing at home, so we bought them all before the New Year."

"Mom, you don't have to worry about this. We will all go with Si Lu when the time comes. There are so many people in our family. We have no shortage of tickets or money. Are you still worried about not being able to buy things?"

Weng Shuxu nodded. As long as there is hope in life, everything will be fine.

"Let me do some statistics and see what needs to be purchased."

Li Yuejin took out the paper and pen he had prepared long ago, and as he wrote, he muttered, "We need to buy thermoses, at least four."

This alone costs a lot of money.

"Mattresses, quilts, pillows, and pillowcases are all essential."

"Towels, lunch boxes, pots and pans, and water tanks, these are all necessary, right?"

Now the tap water is available in every household, otherwise, I would have to buy a shoulder pole and two buckets.

"Mom, do we need to buy door curtains and window curtains as well?"

"Oh, this is easy. Just buy some defective cloth and you can make it easily."

"Sister-in-law, we also need to buy a wash basin and a foot basin."

"Yes, Lao Er reminded me that I have to buy this too."

Jiang Yan leaned over to take a look and said, "Auntie, please give this list to Si Lu and ask him to buy it."

"How can you let your man do all the work alone? Let's go together. He won't be able to pick out these delicate little things. Men, after all, are more tolerant than women."

"Sister, I'm hungry."

The little boy was jumping up and down all the time and was getting hungry quickly.

"Oh, it's really time for dinner. Let's go, let's stop doing that and eat first."

They had dinner at a nearby restaurant. They had dozens of big buns with mutton soup. After drinking it, they felt warm all over. After dinner, they went back to the guesthouse. Si Lu and Jiang Yan didn't want to go upstairs, but Jiang Chuanjun said he had something to say, so they followed him upstairs.

Jiang Chao will be going back tomorrow. Jiang Chuanjun meant that he should keep the fact of his going back home a secret for the time being and not let everyone know about it.

"Dad, I know you're happy, but I always feel that the big thing I forgot is very dangerous and important. So I can't guarantee now if there is anyone watching me in the dark. Can you go back and keep it secret for a while and not mention it?"

Jiang Chao was very happy that Jiang Chuanjun could take the initiative to communicate with him, and he agreed immediately.

"Okay, I get it. Don't worry, I won't mention it. Just stay in the capital and let your sister treat you well. When you are cured and remember it, we will talk about it again."

When he thought of someone plotting against his son, Jiang Chao's eyes became sharp, "It's better for you to stay in Beijing. The drivers who came with me are all reliable, don't worry."

Jiang Chuanjun nodded, "I will cooperate with the treatment and get better as soon as possible."

"If there's anything, tell your family. You can ask your second uncle to call me. Don't treat yourself as an outsider, okay?"

Jiang Chuanjun nodded. In just a few days, he had already felt the deep care and love from his family members. Now, he was no longer fighting alone.

"Don't think too much, brother, we will all help you."

"And me." The middle school boy raised his hand, "I can help, too."

Jiang Yan couldn't help but burst out laughing, "How can you help? It's good enough if you don't cause more trouble."

"Sister, why are you like this?" Jiang Chuancheng's face turned red. Everyone burst into laughter, which made him lose face, okay?

Knowing that Jiang Chao was leaving the next day, Si Guangming deliberately postponed the matter and went to the guesthouse to see him off in person.

"I know you're busy. What else can I do if you don't come?"

"Well, that's not necessarily true. You wouldn't have done that before, but now that we're relatives, you might start to argue."

As soon as the two met, they started fighting and neither gave in.

Isn’t it said that men remain young until they die?

"But then again, Lao Jiang, have you ever thought about being transferred to the capital?"

As the two of them talked, they avoided the others and walked to the corner.

"Do you have an idea?"

Si Guangming only said: "You have seen the situation of our family in recent years. The old man will retire sooner or later, and I just want to follow his path and move up one step!"

Jiang Chao nodded. "It's quite stressful, isn't it?"

Si Guangming laughed at himself, "It's pressure, but also motivation."

"I saw it when you asked Si Lujun to change his political position, but it's better this way..."

"Will you come or not?"

Jiang Chao only said: "This matter is not up to me or you, Guangming, we have fought together. It's not that I am reluctant to give up Tianning's land, but I feel that the current situation has not yet been finalized, so you don't have to be too anxious."

This was a reassurance to Si Guangming.

"Please think carefully about what I said."

"must."

The two big hands were tightly clasped together, "I'm at home, don't worry, take care."

The two old comrades patted each other on the shoulders and the conversation ended there.

Jiang Chao got on the car and everyone saw him off. The driver honked the horn and the three cars sped away.

"Dad, you should go too. Didn't you say you have a meeting in the morning?"

Si Guangming checked the time and said hello to Li Yuejin, "My dear relatives, please come to our house when you have time. We have agreed that this year, we will bring the old man and the old lady with us. It will be more lively with more people."

Li Yuejin could only agree, "I'm serious about this."

Si Guangming smiled, "Then it's settled, you must come."
