52 Going home
“Phew, we’re finally home, Yingluo.”
At five o ‘clock in the evening on Friday, the siblings, Xia Pingan and Xia Ning, each carried two suitcases as they walked up from downstairs and stood at the door of the rental house again.
The two of them had just gone to the supermarket and bought four sturdy and durable suitcases. Then, they took two separate cars back to the community. One car couldn’t even fit four suitcases.
The luggage wasn’t heavy, but it was too big to carry.
As they were preparing to move, they didn’t have enough luggage at home, so Xia Pingan and Xia Ning had made an appointment to buy a few this afternoon.
Xia ping ‘an took the two biggest ones, while Xia Ning took the two smaller ones. The siblings each took two suitcases from the entrance of the community and climbed to the roof. Xia ping’ an was fine, but Xia Ning was already shaking her sore arms, her eyebrows furrowed.
“Brother, it’s so heavy. If we’re moving, we really need to buy a car. Why don’t we move some money from your Housing Fund first? it’s hard to even take a taxi with these suitcases. We’re almost dead moving things, and it’s expensive to hire people to move. It’s not worth it.”
well, let’s go see the car this weekend, Yingluo, ” Xia Pingan said as he took out his key and opened the door.
“Really?” Xia Ning’s eyes widened in excitement.
“Yes, really!” Xia Pingan nodded.
He needed a car to move, and he needed a car to go to the headquarters. More importantly, he didn’t know when a large-scale space invasion would happen. If something extreme happened, it would be more convenient for him to have a car to help Xia Ning escape.
When she received the 500000 Yuan yesterday, Xia Pingan had already been thinking about buying a car.
The two siblings entered the house!
The house was a little messy. Many things had been turned over, and it was even messier than the last time the siblings came back.
But fortunately, although the things were a little messy, they were not damaged. It was fine after some cleaning.
“You pack up, I’ll go to the kitchen to prepare dinner!” Xia Pingan said to Xia Ning as he put down his luggage.
“Alright!” Xia Ning agreed.
The two siblings got busy.
Although the things in the house were a little messy, Xia Ning’s appetite was aroused at the thought of being able to eat Xia Pingan’s fragrant pot soup the next day. She began to tidy up the house.
As for Xia Pingan, she was busy in the kitchen.
Sea cucumbers, flower mushrooms, abalones, shark’s fins, chicken, shrimp, and vegetables were all taken out and started to get busy in the kitchen.
These things had been kept in the refrigerator for a week, and they were still intact and edible.
First, she took out the sea cucumber and abalone and soaked them in water for tomorrow’s use. The rest of the things could be cooked for a meal today. Xia Pingan was like a chef as she tinkled around in the kitchen.
In less than an hour, a pot of fragrant rice, a plate of tomato shrimp meat, a plate of braised chicken, a plate of cucumber salad, and a bowl of Chinese cabbage tofu soup were ready.
Xia Ning tidied up the house and the two siblings sat at the dining table. They smiled at each other and started eating.
After the meal, Xia Ning pressed Xia Pingan down on the sofa and made a cup of tea for Xia Pingan. She turned on the TV and said, ” thank you for making such a delicious dinner, brother. I’ve worked hard. Now, please rest and have a cup of tea. I’ll leave the rest to your capable sister!
Xia Ning was in the kitchen, and the news of Xiang He city was on the TV. Within a few minutes, Xia ping ‘an saw the news of Gao Qingshan being discovered and killed by the police.
The place where Gao Qingshan was killed was the factory full of waste.
After the order Committee dealt with that place, it had been handed over to the police.
The terrifying Demon’s Eye had been cleaned up and did not appear on the TV screen.
In addition to the crime of murder, Gao Qingshan-who was shot dead-was also charged with several more crimes-child trafficking and illegal hiding of stowaways.
Looking at this news, Xia Pingan’s eyes narrowed slightly.
It was understandable that the order Committee didn’t want to cause fear among the public, because history had proved that the fear of space invasion might cause more consequences than space invasion itself.
However, for Xianghe city, a large-scale space invasion was already an urgent matter.
He glanced at Xia Ning, who was humming a song and washing the dishes in the kitchen. Xia Pingan felt that he had to make preparations early.
Xia Ning quickly washed the dishes and came out of the kitchen. She sat cross-legged on the sofa and began to discuss moving with Xia Pingan.
Xia Ning had been looking at a lot of houses online this week and had done a lot of homework. When it came to housing areas and houses, she was like a trained agent.
The location, direction, environment, greenery, property fees, building age, residential area.
Xia Ning’s words made sense.
As Xia ping ‘an watched Xia Ning introduce and analyze the communities to her, she fell silent and felt a little guilty for no reason.
He had no relatives in his past life, and in this life, he only had this one sister.
In the past, he had always wanted to hide his abilities and worry about too many things, so he didn’t take much care of Xia Ning.
“Zhenzhen, this Qingshan Garden District is one of the districts that I’ve chosen. This district is less than two kilometers away from our school, and it meets your requirements very well. There’s a business center 500 meters away from the district, and the property management of this district is very good. The district has been built for less than seven years, and the houses are relatively new. There are 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. The layout is not bad, Yingluo.”
Xia Ning took out her phone and opened the web page while introducing the places that caught Xia Pingan’s attention.
As Xia Ning spoke, she didn’t notice that Xia Pingan’s eyes were slightly apologetic.
“Ning-ning, we won’t be renting this time. Let’s move to a hotel for a while!” Xia Pingan suddenly opened his mouth and said, ” don’t you like the hotel? let’s go to the hotel!
ah! Xia Ning was stunned. brother, do you think this hotel is a small hotel? staying there for a day is more expensive than renting a house for a month!
“I didn’t tell you before, but the landlord’s lawyer came to me yesterday and gave me 500000 Yuan as compensation!” Xia Pingan took out the bank card and placed it on the table. with this 500000 Yuan, you can probably stay at the Guang Zhou hotel for three to four months. Your summer vacation is coming soon, and I’m often not at home during the summer vacation. It’s more convenient for you to stay at the Guang Zhou hotel!
“Brother, did the real Wanwan really lose 500000 Yuan?”
Xia Pingan nodded, ” there’s still more than 20000. The police still need to return it, Yingluo.
Xia Ning was completely stunned. The last time Xia Pingan called to report the case, she had heard it. She thought that this matter would eventually turn into a dispute, but she didn’t expect Xia Pingan to really receive 500000 Yuan in compensation.
500,000 Yuan was a huge sum of money to Xia Ning. At the same time, this amount of money was too unbelievable for her.
Xia Ning took the 500000 Yuan card and jumped up on the sofa. She was so excited that she shouted, ” 500000 Yuan, Yingluo, 500000 Yuan! That’s great! That’s great, Yingluo!
After jumping around for a while, Xia Ning finally stopped when she was tired. She put her arms around Xia ping ‘an’s neck and said, ” brother, with this 500000 Yuan and the 120000 Yuan we’ve saved up for the housing fund, we can buy a house. Or we can take a loan and buy a bigger house. A bigger house can be your Wedding House. I’ll say it first, I only want one. Brother, you won’t chase your cute and capable sister away, right? by the way, what kind of house do you want to buy? ”
The country of fire was vast and sparsely populated. The development of real estate was not so abnormal. All the houses were delivered in full package, and there were no public stalls. The price of the house was not too far away from that of ordinary people. In a third-or fourth-tier city like Xiang He city, a villa on the outskirts of the city that cost two to three million Yuan was already very good.
“Let’s go to the Guang Zhou hotel for a few months first, we’ll talk about the house later!” Xia Pingan said.
Xia Ning was shocked and even touched Xia Pingan’s forehead. brother, you don’t have a fever, do you? why did you stay in such an expensive place for no reason? the last time you stayed there for two nights, my heart ached so much that I couldn’t even make up for it by posting it on my social media!”
“Because the Guang Zhou hotel has the best underground shelter and the strictest security measures in the entire Xiang He city. When I’m not with you, it’s the safest for you to stay in the Guang Zhou hotel!”
the underground shelter Yingluo, ” Xia Ning mumbled to herself. She seemed to have thought of something and her expression changed slightly. brother, it can’t be Yingluo.
it’s good that you know. Your brother’s money isn’t so much that I can take over the Guang Zhou hotel, but in this critical period, a few hundred thousand is nothing. I can still distinguish the importance of this! Xia ping ‘an patted Xia Ning’s head. just treat it as an apology from the previous landlord for treating us to a hotel! It’s decided then, we’ll go buy a car tomorrow and move to the hotel on Sunday night. Okay, go to the room and pack your things, Yingluo.”
Xia Pingan brought out his authority as an older brother and directly made the decision.
Xia Ning nodded and did not argue any further. She returned to her room to pack her things.
Xia Pingan smiled, took out his phone, and called officer Qian LAN.
The phone rang twice before it was connected.
Hello, Mr. Xia, Yingluo. officer Qian’s voice on the phone became gentler and more polite.
officer Qian? well, I went back to the rental house today and looked around. The house was in a mess, so I couldn’t find some things. I looked carefully today and found that the gun and bullets I lost were still there. They weren’t lost, they were in the rental house. I also found most of the money, but only about 20000 Yuan was lost, along with a few paintings. Well, my principle is never to frame a good person. We can’t let people suffer injustice for a little money. We have to be realistic. Okay. I’ll be at home on Sunday afternoon to take a look.”
After peeling off a layer of skin from that trashy couple, this matter would be more or less over.
A Night of Silence!
Early the next morning, after having some breakfast at home, Xia Pingan took Xia Ning to buy a car. The two of them went straight to the largest used car market in Xianghe city for a walk.
For an experienced driver and mechanic like Xia Pingan, some high-quality second-hand cars were definitely more reliable than new ones. The key was that second-hand cars were much cheaper than new ones. Therefore, he planned to buy a second-hand pickup truck in better condition.
