Xiao Qingshan was back and would be staying in the city for a long time. This was good news. At least, it would be more convenient for Mi Xaing 'er to consult him about Chinese medicine in the future.
Gold would shine sooner or later.
Xiao Qingshan was truly talented. No matter where he went, he was still a miracle doctor. Now that the policies were slowly loosening, the chances of him returning to his original position were increasing.
Of course, Yun Jingting had to congratulate him. "Doctor Xiao, with your knowledge, you should stay in the city to be more useful. I have one more thing to say. If you need help from Xiang 'er and me, feel free to look for us."
He said this firmly. Yun Laohu was not to be trifled with. Not only was he capable, but he was also a man of his words.
Xiao Qingshan tried to hold back, but in the end, he could not hold back. "About my daughter …"
He waved his hand. "Forget it. Take your time to investigate. There's no rush."
Although he said this, his eyes were full of hope. Mi Xaing 'er felt worried and quickly turned his head away.
Yun Jingting pondered for a moment. He was a decisive person. Moreover, he had been on the battlefield and experienced life and death. There were some things that he could see more easily than others. Even so, he still could not say anything. "Yes, there's already some progress. When you're not busy, we'll talk about it in detail."
Xiao Qingshan was also a person with deep thoughts. When he saw his attitude, his heart skipped a beat. However, he still did not want to think of the worst and nodded vigorously. "Yes, yes. I'll wait, I'll wait …"
Wait …
Could he still wait for his daughter to come back?
Mi Xaing 'er felt uncomfortable and hurriedly said, "Doctor Xiao, we still have something to do. Let's talk another day."
"You're busy, you're busy …"
Xiao Qingshan was usually a proud person, but now he spoke with a hint of eagerness. One could imagine how he felt. He was afraid that Yun Laohu would no longer care about this matter.
Yun Jingting also felt uncomfortable. She lowered her head and said, "Okay." Then she got into the car with Mi Xaing 'er. She turned her head to look out the window and saw Xiao Qingshan's thin figure disappear around the corner of the hospital.
Tang Xiling was a smart person who had experienced many vicissitudes of life. It could even be said that her situation was somewhat similar to Xiao Qingshan's. They were in the same boat. She sighed softly and said, "In fact, he should know in his heart that it's not easy to find an 18-year-old girl who has been missing for so many years. If my daughter had been missing for so long, I wouldn't have been able to bear it. I would have gone crazy long ago.
There was silence in the car. No one said a word.
Everyone was well aware of this, but no one was willing to mention the word "death".
Start the car.
He went straight to the military residence.
It was already past lunchtime, and the courtyard was very quiet. The car drove past rows of buildings and turned into a secluded alley. The trees on both sides were dense, and the branches and leaves intersected in mid-air to form a green tunnel. The air was also filled with a faint fragrance, which provided shade and avoided the cold. It was a magnificent sight.
At the end of the alley was a small courtyard. There were two black doors, and there was a small guard tower beside the door. The wall was more than a meter high, and it was impossible to see the situation inside from the outside.
The guard saw the car from afar. Of course, he recognized the license plate number and hurriedly opened the door. He stood at the side and saluted to the car. The car slowed down slightly and slowly drove into the courtyard.
Fu Bowen was a little restless. He shifted his butt in the chair and looked left and right. "There are people from the People's Liberation Army guarding the door …"
Mi Xaing 'er scratched his nose. "So, you have to pay extra attention to your words and actions. If you dare to be disobedient and cause trouble for me, I'll …"
She clenched her fist and pretended to hit him.
Fu Bowen threw himself into the arms of Tang Xiling and turned his head to make a face at Mi Xaing 'er. "I'm not afraid of you. I have our mother backing me up. If you dare to touch me, hmph …"
Yun Jingting laughed. "Yo, brother-in-law, you still dare to challenge my wife? Let me tell you, your sister belongs to me and no one else can bully her. If you dare to make her angry, don't blame me for being rude to you …"
“”
As they were talking, the car stopped in front of a three-story building. The driver respectfully opened the car door.
Mi Xaing 'er got out of the car first. She looked up and saw that the building's exterior was somewhat European-style. The white exterior walls were covered with green vines. The leaves of the vines extended upwards and surrounded the large glass windows. There were more than ten pots of kaffir lilies on the circular balcony. The branches and leaves were wide and lush.
Fu Bowen was well-behaved. After getting out of the car, he did not run around. Instead, he held onto Tang Xiling's arm and slowly walked into the living room. Mi Xaing 'er held onto Yun Laohu and followed closely behind him.
When they entered, the living room was spacious and bright. The furniture was simple and plain. There was a coffee table and a few large sofas. The sofa covers were also simple and practical gray canvas. There was nothing new about it.
Jiang Yumei, wearing a snow-white apron, was already there to welcome them. Her tone was full of enthusiasm. "Aiyo, Tiger, Xiao Mi, you're back. Principal Shen specially called me just now to inform me to tidy up your room. Come, come in and see if everything is to your liking!"
She glanced at Tang Xiling from the corner of her eye and hurriedly bowed politely. "This must be Mama Mi. My surname is Jiang, and I'm the housekeeper of this house. In the future, no matter what you need, you can just ask me directly. Principal Shen instructed me to arrange for you to stay on the second floor. I'll bring you up to take a look later!"
Jiang Yumei was discerning. She knew that Yun Laohu loved her daughter-in-law dearly and had brought her mother-in-law and brother-in-law along. As a housekeeper, she only wanted to earn money peacefully in this house. Of course, she had to be considerate.
Tang Xiling was also from a wealthy family. The Tang family used to have servants and housekeepers, so she was exceptionally calm. She did not have any intention of entering the Grand View Garden like Granny Liu. She nodded lightly and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you!"
Her attitude was neither servile nor overbearing. No one could find fault with her.
Yun Jingting's leg was injured, so it was not convenient for him to go up and down the stairs. Of course, he had to stay on the first floor. After passing through the living room and dining room, the last room at the end of the long corridor was for him.
When she opened the door, she saw a large double bed, a standing cabinet, a sofa, and a bedside table. Everything was there. There was even a small study room in the inner room. The large bookshelf was full of books, and there was a writing desk by the window. On top of the desk was a neatly arranged table lamp, a desk calendar, and a pen holder. It was simple and practical.
Jiang Yumei asked politely, "Tiger, Xiao Mi, do you need anything else? This room is more secluded and has a separate bathroom. The door of the study room leads directly to the garden at the back. I think it's most suitable for the two of you!"
Mi Xaing 'er nodded. She was indeed thoughtful. "Thank you!"
After settling her husband down, she followed her mother and Fu Bowen up to the second floor. She looked at their rooms. They were clean and comfortable, and there was nothing to be picky about.
Jiang Yumei followed behind and explained, "Commander and Director Shen live on the third floor. Most people don't go up there. The second floor is the children's room and guest room. Although Yongqi has a dormitory in the Public Security Bureau, she is not married and is a little lonely outside. She is usually willing to come back. Director Shen's daughter, Tingting, also has a room here, but she is busy dancing and rarely comes here recently!"
After settling her mother down, Mi Xaing 'er took some time to ask Jiang Yumei, "If it's convenient for you, can you bring me out for a walk? I have some things to buy. Also, I want to familiarize myself with the terrain. Don't turn around when you go out!"
Jiang Yumei was willing to be close to Mi Xaing 'er. After all, Mi Xaing' er was Commander Yun's only daughter-in-law, and the wife that Head Of Yun doted on the most. To put it bluntly, she was now a rising star in the military compound, and there were many people who wanted to befriend her.
She hurriedly took off her apron and did not dare to delay for even a minute. "Then I'm free now. Let's go!"
"Okay, let's go and say hello to Tiger!"
Mi Xaing 'er entered the room. "Tiger, we just settled down, and there are some things that we don't have. Do you need anything in particular? I'll buy it for you!"
"It's up to you!"
"Okay!"
Mi Xaing 'er was meticulous. She thought for a while and said, "Our whole family has moved in. Logically speaking, shouldn't we be the ones to prepare the first dinner?"
Yun Jingting did not care and straightened her shoulders. "Up to you, as long as you're happy!"
Mi Xaing 'er smiled. She walked over and touched his face. "Oh, you're so obedient. You listen to everything I say!"
Yun Laohu grabbed her hand and kissed it. "That's because I don't listen to you! Whose wife is to be pampered?"
He did not say anything else. "I know you're eager to excel. No matter where you go, you want to be the best. We don't need to stay at my father's house. Just do whatever you want. Don't tire yourself out!"
Mi Xaing 'er knew that her husband cared about her, so she agreed happily and turned to leave.
