Rebirth: The eldest daughter emptied her family and went to the countryside

After sending the person to Xie Kai, he left. Looking at the key chain in his hand, Xie Ran guessed that this was prepared by Wu Xuan.

Only he knew that Xie Ran was always a little superstitious and he must hang a small pendant made of peach pit on his key chain because it could ward off evil spirits.

Looking at this ugly little basket, he complained: "Could it be that he made it himself? The ones bought outside should look better."

Obviously, Xie Ran guessed right.

The Siheyuan is a standard two-story building. Although it is not very large, it is well decorated.

There are three rooms in the main house and two side rooms on each side. The outer corridors are connected by a corridor, which is connected from the south side of the wing room and extends along the inner side of the partition wall to the second entrance.

The second entrance is a hanging flower gate, so the outer corridors of the main house and wing rooms, as well as the hand-copied corridors are connected to the hanging flower gate, forming a closed passage that can shelter from rain and snow.

Every detail was done with great delicacy, even the patterns on the grey bricks in the corners were her favorite.

It can be seen that my father’s word “careful” is not just a simple compliment, but comes from the heart.

The master bedroom is different from other old courtyard houses in that the walls are milky white, the ceiling of the room is fixed with mahogany lattices, the furniture is lighter in color, and the overall style is simple.

Every item touched Xie Ran’s heart, especially the lamp.

"How did he know that I don't like old-fashioned decoration styles? Well, for the sake of this courtyard house, I will gladly treat you to dinner tomorrow night."

After washing up and lying on the bed, the quilt has a warm scent as if it has been exposed to the sun.

This also directly led to Xie Ran getting up late the next day.

It was agreed that Xie Kai would drive her there today. As soon as he left the room, Xie Kai ate contentedly in the living room.

"Thank you, brother, for preparing such a sumptuous breakfast for me so early in the morning." Xie Ran was indeed hungry. He hadn't had breakfast in his hometown for a long time.

The melt-in-your-mouth tofu pudding, served with the salty marinade, warms both the stomach and the heart.

The fried dough sticks are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and they make a crunchy sound when you bite them. The soft and sweet sugar-coated buns and the rosy sugar-coated ears, paired with a bowl of braised buns, are absolutely delicious!

"Eh? Don't thank me. Wu Xuan ran all over the country early in the morning to collect these things and sent them here.

It's just that he was very busy today, so he left as soon as he delivered the food. Poor me, I just had to eat two big buns and left without even a sip of hot tea!"

Xie Ran looked at his watch. It was already nine o'clock.

"Well, that's thoughtful. I'll treat him to a big dinner tonight. Is that okay?"

Xie Kai curled his lips and said, "What he lacks is your big meal. He has invested all his wealth in you. Last month, when you purchased goods and the payment was insufficient, he took out 200,000 yuan to give to Chu He without blinking an eye.

Sister, you have to know that we are soldiers, not businessmen like you.

Two hundred thousand yuan, if I were your brother, I would have to save it for a lifetime with my salary. He saved it because he carried out many dangerous missions and received high bonuses.

When you got married... Bah, bah, bah, anyway, at that time, he didn't have a penny!"

Xie Ran really didn't know about this. She thought it was Chu He's own private money. After all, the tenants had not paid the rent yet, and she had not received the payment for the goods yet. It was the most difficult time.

"Why didn't anyone tell me? Has the money been returned to him now?"

"Well, Chu He paid him back the rent as soon as he collected it. We are not talking about the money now, but about his attitude, right? But don't feel pressured, he won't let me tell you about this.

You said that we are still friends after we meet again, and it is okay for friends to borrow money from each other. I was afraid that you would not use it after you knew about it, so Chu He did not tell you. "

Xie Ran suddenly felt that she had been away for more than half a year. How come so many things had happened that she didn't know about?

Seeing that the time was almost up, the two of them stopped talking nonsense and just finished their meal and left.

Today's award ceremony was also broadcast live, bringing together all the entrepreneurs, researchers, farmers, soldiers, government officials, etc. who have made contributions to the country in recent years.

Xie Ran changed her clothes and put on makeup before following the tour guide into the auditorium.

What she didn't expect was that she actually met Wu Xuan here.

The process of the ceremony is that the host speaks first, then invites the leader to start the formal event, followed by each award recipient's introduction video and speech on stage, and finally everyone stands on the stage together to receive the certificate and take a group photo.

When Wu Xuan's photo appeared on the big screen, Xie Ran was stunned in surprise.

Although the photos on the screen were all in black and white, she seemed to be able to see every expression and every scar on Wu Xuan. Combined with the commentary, tears fell uncontrollably.

She never knew what Wu Xuan’s job was like before.

This was the first time. Even though she had only seen a small part, she could feel the difficulty through the screen. This man had never let down his beliefs and his country.

"This honor is both an affirmation and a spur for me. I will continue to work hard to live up to the trust of the organization and the expectations of my comrades. Thank you."

With just this simple sentence, Wu Xuan ended his speech.

But the applause from the audience continued, as if it was conveying to him everyone's affirmation of him, including Xie Ran.

The well-fitting military uniform makes Wu Xuan look more charming. His cold and handsome face is no longer pale, but has a heroic beauty that makes people believe in him unconsciously.

When it was Xie Ran's turn, she had already sorted out her emotions.

Wu Xuan was the same. He looked at the beautiful figure he had been thinking about day and night on the screen very seriously and felt proud of everything she did.

The moment they stood on the stage, Xie Ran happened to make eye contact with Wu Xuan, who was sitting in the front row, and they both saw admiration in each other's eyes.

“Hello everyone, it is a great honor to be here, and I would like to thank you for your recognition.

I never think that what I do is so great. Every time I only have one thought in my mind, which is that I hope those who are still living in hardship can get better and better.

As an entrepreneur, I have no way to defend my country like a soldier.

But I think that economic prosperity is another form of support. In the future, I will go to more countries and bring our traditional cultural treasures to more places. Thank you everyone. "

The thunderous applause was no less than Wu Xuan's.

After the award ceremony, the two stood face to face, with smiles unconsciously on their lips.

"What a coincidence, we see each other again!" It seemed that when Xie Ran came back this time, Wu Xuan was always the one who took the initiative.

"Yeah, you didn't tell me you would be participating in this, so I was scared. But I'm still very proud of you. You really love this job, right?"
