The accusation of Xia Xia having smelly poop has spread to the capital.

When the old man and his friends went back, they were still laughing and talking happily.

Ji Xiaoxi asked them to take back all the local specialties and gifts for the Lu family.

When the old man left, he hugged his two children reluctantly and told them that when they had time, they must bring the two children back to Beijing to play.

Ji Xiaoxi readily agreed and personally sent the old man and the others to the train.

"Oh, the house feels a lot quieter after they left." Du's mother returned home and sat at the table looking a little lonely.

"Mom, if you want to go to Beijing, just tell us and Brother Chuan and I will take you there." Ji Xiaoxi said.

"Let's wait until Xia Xia is older. It's not convenient for such a young child to travel long distances." Du's mother smiled and said, "I didn't expect that I would be able to meet my husband's father, an old general, in my lifetime. If..."

At this point, Du's mother's smile faded, "If they had come earlier..."

"Mom, let's not think about the past. We should look forward now. Look, we have a lot more family members, and they are pretty good ones.

From now on, we will have someone behind us.

Let's see who dares to bully us."

"Hahaha... no one dares to bully us now."

"Grandma, play with me." An An ran over and threw himself into Du's mother's arms, smiling.

"Okay, grandma will play with you." Du's mother smiled again, picked up the toys and played with An An.

With a child at home, I can’t be quiet even if I want to. The sad feelings of separation will dissipate in just a few minutes.

After Lu Jingchuan returned to the army, he resumed his previous routine. An An was dragged out of bed every morning and obediently followed his father for a morning run.

After breakfast, Lu Jingchuan went to the army and An An went to the military kindergarten.

Only Ji Xiaoxi and Du's mother, who was playing with Xia Xia, were left at home.

Ji Xiaoxi was making her next plans in the room. The last time she went to Beijing, in addition to buying a courtyard house, she also visited some crowded places.

The capital has become more tolerant of self-employed individuals. Although no clear documents have been issued yet, the policy has indeed been relaxed.

This business can actually be started.

Thinking of this, Ji Xiaoxi opened the door and walked out, "Mom, I'm going out for a while."

"What are you going out for?" Du's mother responded while holding Xia Xia.

"I'll send a telegram to my second brother." Ji Xiaoxi said.

"Okay, remember to go early and come back early." Du's mother said.

The last time she went back to Baiyun Village, Lu Jingyi told her something. He said that an instant noodle factory in the county was about to go out of business and most of the workers there had been laid off.

If we can take over this instant noodle factory and improve the instant noodle ingredients and noodles, we will definitely have no trouble selling them in the future.

She had to ask Lu Jingyi to inquire further, and also ask Su Xiu for some investment.

I spent several thousand dollars to buy a courtyard house last time, and now I don’t have enough money to buy an instant noodle factory.

After sending the telegram from the post office, Ji Xiaoxi went to the state-owned restaurant to eat a bowl of noodles. Just as he was about to leave, it started to rain outside.

She didn't bring an umbrella, so she had to stay in the store for the time being.

There were other people in the store who were also trapped by the rain, and you could hear other people chatting from time to time.

"I heard that a huge mudslide occurred in the mountainous area of ​​Qingyang Town, more than 80 kilometers away from here, and several nearby villages were affected."

"It's probably because of the heavy rain a few days ago. It wasn't raining when I went out today, but why is it raining again now? If it continues like this, what will happen to those people?"

"Yes, the rain comes and goes as it pleases. It's hard to predict the weather."

......

As soon as it started to rain, the temperature dropped. Ji Xiaoxi asked the waiter for a cup of hot water and drank it while waiting for the rain to stop. When it was almost dry, she went back in the rain.

"Oh, you're all wet. Go take a shower and change your clothes." Du's mother pushed her to the bathroom anxiously. "I'll boil some ginger water for you. Drink some when you come out. It will help you get rid of the cold."

"Okay, thank you, Mom."

"Why does the rain come so suddenly?" Du's mother looked out the window, feeling a little worried. It was the same in her hometown before. When it rained heavily, the houses backed by the mountains would easily collapse.

Fortunately, their house is quite sturdy, unlike some villagers' houses which are still made of earthen bricks.

"Mom, is Xia Xia asleep?" Ji Xiaoxi came out of the bathroom, wiping her hair, and asked casually when she saw Du's mother cleaning the kitchen.

"I've been sleeping a lot lately. I've gained a lot of weight." Mother Du smiled and pointed at the ginger water on the table. "Hurry up and drink the ginger water to avoid catching a cold."

"Okay." Ji Xiaoxi wrapped her wet hair with a towel and drank the ginger soup mouthful by mouthful with a spoon.

——Boom!

Suddenly, a huge bolt of lightning sounded outside, and Ji Xiaoxi was so scared that she almost spilled the soup in her hand.

"Wow!!!" Xia Xia in the room was awakened by the sound of lightning, and cried loudly looking for someone.

"Xia Xia is awake. I'll go hold her." Du's mother immediately came out of the kitchen and glanced at Ji Xiaoxi. "You drink first. Don't worry about it."

"Okay." Ji Xiaoxi sat down again and looked out the window.

It was getting dark outside quickly, with lightning flashing across the sky from time to time, and a strong sense of oppression came over me.

"Mom, Brother Chuan didn't bring an umbrella when he went out today, right?" Ji Xiaoxi said.

"No." Mother Du hugged Xia Xia and coaxed her, "It's raining so hard, we still have to go pick up An An."

"An An, I'll go pick it up." Ji Xiaoxi put down the bowl, put on his raincoat, took an umbrella, and was about to go out when the door was opened from the outside.

"Mom, I'm back~" An An walked in from outside, hugged her legs, and shouted with a smile.

"Why did you get off work so early today?" Ji Xiaoxi touched her son's hair and looked at Lu Jingchuan again.

"We're going to go on a mission soon. Our leader asked us to come back and get ready. We'll be leaving soon."

Ji Xiaoxi thought of the information she had heard when she was hiding from the rain in the state-owned hotel, and blurted out, "Are they going to the mountainous area of ​​Qingyang Town to provide disaster relief?"

"How do you know?" Lu Jingchuan asked doubtfully.

"When I went out today, I heard someone say there was a mudslide over there."

"Yes, it rained these days and there was a landslide over there. Some people were trapped underneath. The army asked us to go and provide disaster relief."

"But it's almost night now, and it's so dark, you..." Ji Xiaoxi thought that this was their responsibility, and after a pause, she continued, "You must be careful, mom, the children and I are waiting for you at home."

"I know, daughter-in-law, don't worry, it may rain these few days, you and mom should go out less and just stay at home.

Today, An An's school teacher said that if it rains heavily, An An will study at home. "
