What are you talking about? You seem so happy.

Don't you have any vigilance towards strange men?

Why did she smile at the man in military uniform?

Li Xiao walked over with a gloomy face.

......

"Yes, my family originally lived in Beijing, but we are currently relocated to Heitu Village."

Lu Qinian was puzzled.

Normally, those who went to the countryside were unemployed educated youth. How could she be married and go to the countryside?

If she was sent down for some reason, it would be impossible for her to just come out and take the train.

There is only one possibility, that is, her husband died, she had no job to support her family and was forced to go to the countryside.

Thinking of this, Lu Qinian's heart moved slightly.

"I see you have a great appearance and a good voice. If you don't want to join the army, are you interested in working as an announcer in the Propaganda Department? Our military region's last announcer resigned due to illness, and we're currently looking for a suitable girl to take on the announcer role."

"This job doesn't require you to live in the military, nor do you need to accompany the troops on missions. If you live nearby, you can go home after work every day. If you want, I can..."

"willing!"

Xia Xizhi's eyes sparkled and he nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

She was worried about what to do after being in the same room with Li Xiao.

This little lunatic Li Xiao definitely won't let her finish rebuilding the house. She still has a year left, and the thought of it is unbearable.

If she could bring Li Xiao back to Beijing to work this time, she could sleep in a separate room from Li Xiao.

In order to avoid trouble for the time being, Li Bairong cannot move back to his house, but he can buy a farmhouse near the military area to live in.

It will be more convenient to buy a house in Beijing in the future, saving me the trouble of taking the train back and forth.

I'm really sleepy, please hand me a pillow...

Also, the announcer is great.

A serious job is respected, not tiring and can help Li Xiao meet more important people to expand his network and prepare for his future business.

Lu Qinian thought it might take some time to explain, but he didn't expect Xia Xizhi to respond so readily.

It seems that this little girl is not afraid of being apart from her family, but she doesn't want to suffer the hardships of being a soldier.

Lu Qinian smiled.

Just as he was about to speak, Xia Xizhi continued,

"But I came to Beijing this time to take a train to visit relatives in the south. You have to wait until I come back before you can start working. Is that okay?"

"How long will it take to be back?"

Xia Xizhi thought for a moment and said, "Probably a month. He might come back earlier, but I'm not sure, so let's just call it a month."

The round trip takes about ten days, but she has to set aside time to look for a house. Since she has made the trip so easy, she has to buy as many houses as possible.

"Row."

Lu Qinian took out the pen from his chest, then took out a cigarette box from his pocket, tore off a piece and wrote the address and phone number of the military region on it.

"Come find me here when the time comes. My name is Lu Qinian. If there are any unexpected situations, you can call me on this landline."

"Okay. Thank you, Commander Lu!"

Xia Xizhi grinned and took the address and phone number handed to him by Lu Qinian, and saluted casually.

Lu Qinian also laughed.

"I'm a few years older than you, so just call me Brother Lu in private."

"Okay, Brother Lu."

"Ah."

.......

Seeing Xia Xizhi laughing so happily with the man in military uniform, Li Xiao was filled with sinister intent and his face was gloomy.

After walking over, he inadvertently separated the two of them.

It seems like a casual question.

"I heard there are human traffickers here. Are you hurt?"

Only then did Xia Xizhi notice Li Xiao coming over.

"No, I found the human trafficker. Don't worry, no one can hurt me with my skills."

"By the way, this is Chief Lu. Brother Lu, this is my stepson."

Li Xiao seemed to have just discovered Lu Qinian and turned his head to look at him.

"Hello, Commander Lu. I didn't expect to run into a military commander on the train. It seems like his job is pretty easy..."

"This kid! How can you talk like that!"

Xia Xizhi glanced at him and quickly apologized to Lu Qinian, who was embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, Brother Lu, that's not what he meant, hehe."

"Apologise quickly!"

As he spoke, Xia Xizhi twisted Li Xiao's arm.

Li Xiao's cold face seemed to change as he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile,

"Sorry, Commander Lu, it was just a joke. You are a magnanimous person. You won't mind what a child says, right?"

Lu Qinian smiled.

"do not mind."

"I'm glad you don't mind."

Although Li Xiao was smiling, the smile did not show in his eyes when he looked at Lu Qinian.

He turned around and held Xia Xizhi's hand, squeezing it tightly.

"Stepmother....., I'm hungry, can you go get me something to eat?"

The word "stepmother" gave Xia Xizhi goosebumps all over his body.

So speechless.

Is this jealous?

The little villain's possessiveness is too strong, so she just said a few words to him.

As for...

Xia Xizhi glared at him, then turned to Lu Qinian and said embarrassedly,

"Then I'll go back to Brother Lu's room and get him something to eat. We'll talk later."

"Well, you're busy."

Looking at the two people turning and leaving, Lu Qinian's eyes turned gloomy.

......

The train traveled for another day and night and finally arrived in Beijing.

After Lu Qinian's driver sent Xia Xizhi and Li Xiao to Li Xiao's original home, he told them to call him when they returned from the south and left.

Xia Xizhi took Li Xiao to the mall to buy two sets of clothes, complete with underwear and clothes. Then they had a meal at a state-owned restaurant and took a small tricycle straight to the guesthouse.

She didn't plan to live in that courtyard in Beijing City for fear of causing unnecessary trouble.

Just as the two got off the cart and entered the guesthouse, Xia Yuejin, who came out of the supply and marketing cooperative not far away, looked at Xia Xizhi's profile and was stunned.

"Mom, look, why does that woman look so much like Xia Xiaoxi..."

"Who are you talking about?"

A middle-aged man named Shi Caihua walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative and looked in the direction Xia Yuejin pointed.

When he saw Xia Xizhi clearly, his face changed in an instant.

"Xia Xiaoxi! This damn girl is actually in Jing City!! I thought she was demoted as well!

Unfilial thing! An ungrateful bastard! She's really good at hooking up with random men! Look at the man next to her, carrying all sorts of bags for her. Even though she has money, she doesn't even know how to come back and honor her parents! I'll beat her to death!"

"Mom, don't be anxious!"

Xia Yuejin quickly stopped her.

"Mom. She's hooking up with someone else, which means Li Bairong is dead! She must be dead for her to do this. I heard he was sent down to the countryside. After so many years, he must have died in the countryside. She probably used the money Li Bairong left her to support a gigolo."

"We have to get the money out of her hands, otherwise she will give it all to outsiders."

Shi Caihua quickly said, "Yes, yes, you are right. We can't let her money be given to outsiders. But that damn girl hasn't been seen for so many years. I'm afraid she won't give it to us if we ask for it."

A calculation flashed across Xia Yuejin's eyes.

"Li Bairong left her money so she could take care of her stepson. As long as we marry her off again, she won't belong to the Li family anymore and won't have the right to keep Li Bairong's money. Then we can take the money and use it to support her stepson."

"You're right, but she's a widower, not a virgin, and she's lazy. It's not easy for her to get married. Who would want her?" Shi Caihua said with disgust in her eyes.

Xia Yuejin said with a smile,

"Although she's not a virgin, she's pretty. Didn't Director Huang's second wife die? Director Huang was thinking about her before, have you forgotten? Director Huang will definitely give her a lot of betrothal gifts..."

Shi Caihua's eyes lit up...
