The elderly couple from the Shen Family asked Jiang Jinsang to find a house. After hanging up the phone, he inford Jiang Jiu and Jiang Cuo to keep an eye out for properties that were still available for sale. In addition to the conditions proposed by Mr. Shen, he added a few more criteria: close to his residence, or near Hexi, and close to the Hospital.
These two had long had enough of the days working as "contractors" under Jiang Chengsi. Upon receiving Jiang Jinsang’s call, they were eager to light firecrackers in celebration.
Their grandpa finally rembered their existence.
"Dinner’s ready." Tang Wan’s voice ca from the kitchen. As soon as the dishes were placed on the table, her phone vibrated. Seeing the caller ID, she quickly answered, "’Miss Xiao’? Why are you suddenly calling ? Have you returned to Beijing?"
When Jiang Jinsang got married, this ’Miss Xiao’ gifted Tang Wan a set of jewelry, which was quite valuable. She always felt it was too much to accept and was constantly looking for a chance to repay the favor.
Receiving her call, Tang Wan felt she could finally repay the favor and was quite happy. But Jiang Jinsang watched helplessly as the floor rose, then collapsed...
Tang Wan’s expression changed ever so quickly, until the end, when her smile froze on her lips, she still said with a smile, "No problem, when you return to Beijing, we can discuss in detail when we have ti."
After hanging up the phone, Tang Wan pursed her lips tightly, "Brother Five, have I been a bit unlucky lately?"
"What happened?" Jiang Jinsang moved behind her to help untie the apron strings, "Did she commission sothing from you again, making things difficult for you?"
"Brother Four’s custom screen, I finished modifying the design draft last night and posted a Monts update, didn’t I?"
"Yes." Jiang Jinsang rembered clearly, because he was about to give his wife a thumbs-up first thing, but Shen Shuci beat him to it.
"She liked it too, the pattern certainly needs to be redesigned, but with her level of pickiness, compared to Brother Four, it’ll only be even more challenging."
Tang Wan had just been tornted by Jiang Chengsi enough and had barely caught her breath before she erged again.
"You are pregnant, you can totally refuse her."
"She said she’s not in a rush, it’s fine to wait until I’ve had the baby and passed the confinent period. As soon as Brother Four leaves, she shows up, what did I post that Monts update for last night!"
Jiang Jinsang just smiled and held her waist, "Let’s eat first."
"If they both co looking for , I’d surely go crazy and lose all my hair."
"You’re going to the Hospital tomorrow, you rember, right?"
Tang Wan paused for two seconds, and Jiang Jinsang, seeing her expression, knew that she must have forgotten. She coughed lightly twice, "I wonder what Aunt is eating at Brother Huo’s place for lunch, are there any fun activities..."
Jiang Jinsang simply smiled, this shift in conversation was way too abrupt.

So remote small town
The morning was filled with public drills, mostly performances with a strong entertainnt aspect. As it was open to the public, it gathered quite a number of ordinary citizens, apart from family mbers. Personnel from the publicity departnt of governnt agencies were carrying equipnt and running along, and there were so interactive projects afterward, allowing everyone to experience firsthand.
The purpose of this event was to foster a friendly image, so every year there would be a few open days.
"Why aren’t you participating?" Shen Shuci looked at the person beside her.
"Sis, the captain participated before and almost scared the kids to tears." The person beside her said, just before receiving a sharp glare from Huo Qinqi.
"The range will be open later, do you want to try?" Huo Qinqi suggested.
Shen Shuci nodded.
To encourage everyone’s enthusiasm to participate in the event, the unit also established so competition projects. There were ones at the shooting range too, where winners could obtain matching clothes and event badges, attracting quite a few participants.
When the organization personnel saw Huo Qinqi holding a girl’s hand walking over, they imdiately frowned.
"Captain Huo, really, are you planning to participate too?"
The event didn’t prohibit internal personnel from participating, so quite a few registered to try and win a few prizes for their wives and kids.
"Why can’t I?" Huo Qinqi raised an eyebrow.
"With your skills, participating in this competition? Isn’t that bullying?" Shaless, isn’t it?
"Exactly, Captain Huo, you’d better refrain from this kind of event."
...
For past open days, Huo Qinqi never appeared. This ti, not only did he show up, he even wanted to participate in the event. Wasn’t this purely to steal the show?
Several staff mbers kindly advised him, soone cold-faced and expressionless from beginning to end, until Shen Shuci spoke up, "It’s not him participating, it’s ."
The crowd felt relieved, as long as it wasn’t Huo Qinqi taking the stage, they imdiately arranged for Shen Shuci’s sequence to participate.
"Do you know how? Want to teach you?" Huo Qinqi asked directly.
