"Phew, I'm finally home …"
At five o 'clock on Friday evening, Xia Pingan and Xia Ning, the two siblings, each carried two suitcases. They walked up from downstairs and stood at the door of the rented house again.
The two just went to the supermarket together and bought four sturdy and durable suitcases. Then, they took two separate cars back to the community. One car couldn't fit four suitcases.
The suitcases weren't heavy, but they were too big to carry.
Because they were preparing to move, there weren't enough suitcases at home, so Xia Pingan and Xia Ning went to buy a few this afternoon.
Xia Pingan took two of the biggest ones, and Xia Ning took two smaller ones. The two siblings each took two suitcases from the community entrance and climbed to the roof. Xia Pingan was fine, but Xia Ning was already shaking her sore arms. Her eyebrows were knitted together.
"Brother, it's so heavy. If we want to move, we really need to buy a car. Why don't we get some money from your housing fund first? Like just now, it's not easy to take a taxi with these suitcases. We have to move until we're half dead. It's expensive to hire someone to help us move. It's not worth it …"
"En, let's go look for a car this weekend …" Xia Pingan said as he took out the key and opened the door.
"Really?" Xia Ning's eyes widened. She seemed very excited.
"En, really!" Xia Pingan nodded.
They needed a car to move, and they also needed a car to go to the headquarters. More importantly, in the face of a larger space invasion, they didn't know when it would come. If there were some extreme situations, it would be more convenient to have a car to take Xia Ning and run away.
When he got the 500,000 yuan yesterday, Xia Pingan was already thinking about buying a car.
The two siblings entered the house!
The house was a bit messy. Many things were turned over in a mess. It was even messier than the last time the two siblings came back.
But fortunately, although things were a bit messy, there was no damage. They just needed to tidy it up.
"You tidy up. I'll go to the kitchen to cook dinner first!" Xia Pingan put down the suitcase and said to Xia Ning.
"Okay!" Xia Ning agreed.
The two siblings got busy.
Although the things in the house were a bit messy, Xia Ning's gluttony was aroused when she thought about eating Xia Pingan's fragrant pot soup tomorrow. She began to tidy up the things in the house.
As for Xia Pingan, he started to get busy in the kitchen.
He took out things like sea cucumbers, mushrooms, abalones, shark fin, chicken, shrimp, and vegetables, and began to busy himself in the kitchen.
These things were stored in the refrigerator for a week's time..
First, he took out the sea cucumbers and abalones and soaked them in water for tomorrow. As for the other things, he could make a meal today. Xia Pingan was like a chef, fiddling in the kitchen.
In less than an hour, a pot of fragrant rice, a plate of tomato shrimp, a plate of braised chicken, a plate of sauteed cucumber, and a bowl of cabbage and tofu soup were ready.
Xia Ning also tidied up the house. The two siblings sat at the dining table, smiled at each other, and ate.
After dinner, Xia Ning pressed Xia Pingan onto the sofa, made a cup of tea for Xia Pingan, and turned on the TV. "Brother, thank you for the delicious dinner. Brother, you've worked hard. Now, brother, please take a rest and have a cup of tea. The rest will be left to your capable sister!"
Xia Ning was in the kitchen, and the TV was broadcasting the news of Xianghe City. After a few minutes, Xia Pingan saw the news that Gao Qingshan was found dead by the police.
The place where Gao Qingshan was killed was the factory full of waste that night.
After the Committee of Order dealt with that place, it was handed over to the police.
The terrifying Devil's Eye had been cleaned up and did not appear on the TV screen.
In addition to murder, Gao Qingshan, who was killed, was also charged with several crimes — child abduction and illegal harboring of stowaways.
Seeing such news, Xia Pingan's eyes narrowed slightly.
The Committee of Order did not want to cause panic among the people. This was understandable because countless history had proven that the consequences of fear of a space invasion might be worse than the space invasion itself.
However, for Xianghe City, a large-scale Space Invasion was already an imminent matter.
Glancing at Xia Ning, who was humming and washing the dishes in the kitchen, Xia Pingan felt that he had to prepare early.
Xia Ning quickly washed the dishes, then came out of the kitchen, sat cross-legged on the sofa, and began to discuss moving with Xia Pingan.
Xia Ning had seen a lot of houses on the Internet this week and did a lot of homework. When it came to residential areas and houses, he was like a trained agent.
The location of the residential area, direction, environment, greenery, property fees, building age, residential groups …
Xia Ning spoke clearly and logically.
Looking at Xia Ning introducing and analyzing the residential areas to him, Xia Pingan was silent and felt a little inexplicable guilt in his heart.
In his previous life, he had no relatives. In this life, he only had this sister.
In the past, he always wanted to hide his ability and worry about too many things. He did not take care of Xia Ning enough.
"… This Qingshan Garden District is one of the few districts I've chosen. This district is less than two kilometers away from our school, and it meets your requirements very well. There's a commercial center within 500 meters of the district, and the reputation of the properties in the district is good. The district was built less than seven years ago, and the houses are still relatively new. There are also many young people living here, but the price is slightly more expensive than the one we're living in now. There are more than 40 houses for rent in this district, and the houses are all pretty good …"
Xia Ning took out his phone and opened the web page while introducing Xia Pingan to the places he had his eyes on.
Xia Ning, who was talking, did not notice that Xia Pingan was looking at him with a slightly apologetic gaze.
"Ningning, this time we won't be renting. Let's move to a hotel for a while!" Xia Pingan suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Don't you like the Guangzhou Hotel? Let's stay there!"
"Ah …" Xia Ning was stunned. "Brother, do you think Guangzhou Hotel is a small hotel? Staying there for a day is more expensive than renting for a month!"
"I didn't tell you before, but the landlord's lawyer found me yesterday and compensated me with five hundred thousand!" Xia Pingan took out the bank card and placed it on the table. "With this five hundred thousand, we can stay at Guangzhou Hotel for three to four months. You'll be on summer break soon, and I won't be home often. It'll be more convenient for you to stay at Guangzhou Hotel!"
"Brother, you really … really compensated me with five hundred thousand?"
Xia Pingan nodded. "There's still twenty thousand, and the police still have to return it …"
Xia Ning was completely stunned. When Xia Pingan called to report the case, she heard it. She thought it would end up as an argument, but she did not expect that Xia Pingan would really receive five hundred thousand in compensation.
Five hundred thousand was a huge sum to Xia Ning, and at the same time, this sum of money was unimaginable to Xia Ning.
Xia Ning took the five hundred thousand card and jumped up on the sofa. She was so excited that she jumped and shouted, "Five hundred thousand … five hundred thousand, great, great …"
Xia Ning jumped for a while until she was tired. She stopped and hugged Xia Pingan's neck. "Brother, with this five hundred thousand and the 120 thousand we saved for the housing fund, we can buy a house. Or we can get a loan to buy a bigger house. A bigger house can be your wedding home. I'll say this first, I only want one. Brother, you won't chase your cute and capable sister away, right? Oh right, what kind of house do you want to buy?"
The Fire Country was vast and sparsely populated, so the development of real estate was not abnormal. All the houses were well-furnished, and there were no public stalls. The housing prices were not too far away from the average person. In a third or fourth tier city like Xianghe City, a villa worth two to three million in the suburbs was already very good.
"Let's stay at the Guangzhou Hotel for a few months first. We'll talk about the house later!" Xia Pingan said.
Xia Ning was shocked and touched Xia Pingan's forehead. "Brother, you don't have a fever, right? Why do you want to stay at such an expensive place? The last time I stayed there for two nights, my heart ached. I can't even make it up to my friends!" “
Because Guangzhou Hotel has the best underground shelter in Xianghe City and the strictest security measures. When I'm not with you, Guangzhou Hotel is the safest place for you! "
"Underground shelter …" Xia Ning mumbled to himself. She seemed to have thought of something and her face changed. "Brother, don't tell me …"
"It's good that you know. Your brother's money isn't so much that I can treat Guangzhou Hotel as my home. But during critical times, a few hundred thousand is nothing. I can still tell the difference!" Xia Pingan touched Xia Ning's head. "Just treat it as the previous landlord treating us to a hotel as an apology! It's decided. We'll go buy a car tomorrow, and then move to the hotel on Sunday night. Okay, go to your room and pack your things … "
Xia Pingan took out the authority of an older brother and directly made the decision.
Xia Ning nodded and didn't argue. He returned to his room and began to pack his things.
Xia Pingan smiled, took out his phone, and called Officer Qian Lan.
The phone rang twice before it was picked up.
"Hello, Mr. Xia …" Officer Qian's voice on the phone became gentler and more polite.
"Officer Qian? Yes, I went back to the rental house to search again today. Previously, the house was too messy and I couldn't find some things. I searched carefully today and found that my lost gun and bullets are still there. They're not lost, they're still in the rental house. Most of the money has also been found. After checking, I only lost about 20,000 yuan and a few paintings. Yes, my principle as a person is to never falsely accuse a good person. We can't let people suffer unjust treatment for a little bit of money. We have to be realistic. Alright, that's it. Then I'll have to trouble you.
After peeling off a layer of skin from that trash couple, this matter was more or less over.
The night was silent!
Early the next morning, after eating breakfast at home, Xia Pingan brought Xia Ning to buy a car. The two of them went straight to Xianghe City's largest second-hand car market …
For an old driver and mechanic like Xia Pingan, the condition of some fine second-hand cars was definitely more reliable than a new car. The key was that the price of a second-hand car was much cheaper than a new car, so he planned to buy a second-hand pickup truck in a better condition.
