Chapter 185 Some people are not something you can avoid if you want to
Along the way, Yan Lixia was not in a good mood.
Si Chen held her hand with one hand and drove the car with the other.
There was snow on some sections of the road. For safety reasons, Si Chen simply put snow chains on the tires and slowed down relatively.
Si Xuemei and her son were always talkative people. Your words and my words comforted Yan Lixia for a long time.
"Li Xia, don't be afraid. They are just a bunch of reckless things and have no relevance at all."
"When I was a kid, I encountered much more dangerous situations than this, and I didn't even cry." This is nonsense.
The one who didn't cry was his sister, so where was he?
"Si Chen, you will have to teach Li Xia how to shoot a gun later!" Si Xuemei warned:
"You are going to come to Dragon City to develop in the future, so you need to be strong enough."
"Yeah, aunt is right." Si Chen was also considering this issue in his mind.
You really should teach your daughter-in-law how to use a gun.
Yan Lixia managed to cope with it with a smile. After all, she did not grow up in such a tough family. It was a bit difficult for her to become tough in a short period of time.
When Si Xuemei and her son saw this, they didn't say much.
…
In the middle of the afternoon, the group arrived at the Invalid Army Compound.
In this old-fashioned community, there are only two households on the first floor, door to door.
The door opposite Si Xuemei used to be someone else's house.
Later, Si Qingbai's position became higher and higher, which caused great pressure on others.
Just think, who wants to live across from a big boss?
Every day, if something trivial happens at home, the boss will be alerted, which is so nerve-wracking!
Regarding the big leader, it’s too late to escape from his sight. If you join in and let others discover your shortcomings every day, aren’t you seeking death?
The family applied to move to another building.
Later, Si Yin started working and got a quota for housing allocation in his unit.
So, naturally, we were assigned to the opposite door.
There are two bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom on both sides, but the layout is just the opposite.
Si Xuemei had already tidied up the house and was waiting for Si Chen's family to come to Longcheng and move in.
The point is, the old mother can finally be by her side and let her fulfill her filial piety!
In the evening, have dinner at Si Xuemei's place.
Si Chen took Yan Lixia to rest in the room opposite.
Yan Lixia was indeed frightened. She clung to Si Chen all night and hid in his arms, not daring to come out.
Although I know I shouldn’t overthink things at times like this, but——
He is a very normal man!
…
Early in the morning, Si Xuemei sent Si Chong to knock on the door and call everyone for breakfast.
After dinner, Si Chen was going out and deliberately found something for his wife to do. He didn't want her to think too much, so he arranged:
"Li Xia, you go find my aunt later and go to the decoration master to finalize the decoration of our train station store."
With that said, Si Chen gave the information packet to Yan Lixia and told:
"Here is a store floor plan I drew, and I have marked the detailed dimensions."
"Which are load-bearing walls, which ones are removable, where are the water and electricity connections, what kind of waterproof materials are used, how are the containers arranged, and what type of luminous tubes are used."
"I've drawn it all and made notes. You can take it to the master and he'll understand it at a glance."
"Yeah, yeah!" Yan Lixia finally regained her energy, took it, and nodded seriously.
She was involved when these things were drawn, so she fairly understood them.
"What about you? Where are you going?" Yan Lixia actually had the answer in her heart, but she still asked.
Something like that happened on the way yesterday, and she didn't dare to guess who had done it deliberately.
But she knew Si Chen and knew that he would think carefully about Mr. Cai.
The last time he went back, Mr. Cai led people to chase them.
They couldn't help but think too much about what happened this time.
"I'll go take a look at the store over there first to see if it has moved out." Si Chen said this in an understatement.
In fact, what I planned in my heart was that a gap must be opened from Mr. Cai about this matter to know what the truth is.
He didn't think it was an ordinary robbery.
Yan Lixia moved her lips twice, wanting to say something, but finally suppressed it.
A little, very cautiously:
"You must be careful and try not to cause conflicts with others. We are here to do business. It is not good to make enemies."
Si Chen gave her a piece of side dishes with chopsticks, smiled gently and comforted her:
"Don't worry, I won't take the initiative to provoke them."
"Yeah!" Yan Lixia actually understood.
Some things cannot be solved by giving in.
Some people cannot be avoided by just hiding.
Si Chen said that he would not take the initiative to provoke me. She could understand that the subtext was that if the other party dared to provoke me, then I would be sorry!
Since she married such a bad-tempered man, she should accept this fact.
There's nothing wrong with it, it's much better than being bullied!
…
The couple split into two groups.
Si Xuemei took Yan Lixia to find the decoration master.
Si Chen drove to the store at the train station.
Originally, he thought that a person like Master Cai would still be opening a shop.
I came here today because I had to make a fuss to resolve this matter.
Never imagined!
The store is already empty!
A lot of desolation!
Not only the equipment and things inside were removed, but even the door and window glass were removed and moved away!
Moved away!
All moved away!
Si Chen looked around and saw many homeless people lying down or eating food in the empty building with drafts on all sides.
Even stray cats and dogs gather here to make a home and rest.
Si Chen was speechless!
He never imagined that this place would become like this!
Si Chen turned around and found a nearby newsstand. He bought a newspaper and asked:
"Uncle, I want to ask you something, when did that Western restaurant move?"
"Good morning! We moved away years ago. Look at what a good location has been ruined!"
The newsstand man wore reading glasses, a military green cotton coat, a light gray labor cloth jacket underneath, and a pair of navy blue sleeves.
Si Chen asked: "Uncle, do you know what happened? Why did he move away?"
This uncle can be regarded as a student of Bai Xiaosheng at the train station, there is no gossip that he doesn’t know!
In the previous life, Si Chen and his group were a group of little bastards, and all kinds of news were collected and disseminated from the eldest brother.
"Hey, I heard that I provoked some powerful person. Because of him, people started fighting each other. He was afraid that he would become cannon fodder."
The old man leaned against the window and took on the posture of a storyteller:
"Young man, let me tell you, since ancient times, the people have not fought with the officials."
"That boy named Cai, even though he is so arrogant at ordinary times, isn't he just a nouveau riche who digs coal?"
"It is said that he was offended by someone whom I would not dare offend easily."
Si Chen was amazed when he heard this, and looked excited about eating melon.
Following the old rules, he handed the uncle a dollar, took a bottle of drink, and said:
"No need to change. So, sir, who did he offend?"
The old man put a dollar into the change box with familiarity, and then he came up to it mysteriously and lowered his voice:
"It is said that the man's surname is Si, the same as the one in Longcheng who is surnamed Si. I can't tell, I can't tell!"
Si Chen nodded silently, pretending to be horrified, and asked again:
"What about the other one?"
The uncle frowned, but this time he shook his head and said:
Chapter completed!
