1979: Literary Master, Starting from the Return of Educated Youth

Chapter 302 Looking for someone
"Oh... Then you can come to my house when you are free."

"Okay, I have plenty of time left after visiting my relatives."

Gong Xue accepted the invitation and nodded to Xu Yuexin, "By the way, I met your sister-in-law in Beijing."

Hmm? Did she run into Chen Yixue?
Hearing Gong Xue's words, Xu Yuexin couldn't help but be shocked.

Speaking of which, he hasn't met his sister-in-law or contacted her for some time.

"Ha, how did you meet her?"

Xu Yuexin asked calmly on the surface.

"The drama troupe was performing, and I went to see the show live. When I ran into her, she bought a ticket and came to watch."

“It just happened.”

Gong Xue didn't notice him and answered naturally, "Before this, I thought she came to Shanghai with you guys."

"After all, she has such a good relationship with your wife and her sisters."

"No, not really. My wife is only here to work in Shanghai for a while, and she has to go back later."

Xu Yuexin covered it up and said, "There's no need for her to come along."

"so."

Gong Xue asked, "How is your clothing factory business going now? Are you facing any competitive pressure?"

"No, there are no jobs in every field right now, especially those related to people's food, clothing, housing and transportation."

"Basically, as long as the clothes are wearable, they can be sold."

……

Seeing the topic shifted, Xu Yuexin breathed a sigh of relief and started chatting happily with Gong Xue.

The two of them talked until their lips were dry, and they reluctantly ended the conversation only after the plane landed.

After getting off the plane, Xu Yuexin and Gong Ruxue went their separate ways.

Gong Ruxue returned to her home, and Xu Yuexin called his sister-in-law after returning to the Duke's Mansion and putting his luggage away.

"Du, du..."

"Hello, the number you dialed is currently unanswered..."

"Clap."

Xu Yuexin put down the phone and called twice more.

Still no one.

Maybe she went out to play.

Xu Yuexin was not in a hurry and prepared to fight later.

As a result, at night, no one answered the phone.

Is my sister-in-law out traveling or something?

Xu Yuexin pondered and felt a little uneasy.

Finally, he decided to take the key and go to his sister-in-law's house.

He pushed the motorcycle out of the Duke's Mansion, rushed out of the alley with a bang, and headed towards Tuanjie Lake.

In late autumn in Beijing, the nights are bitterly cold.

Xu Yuexin didn't wear gloves on his hands, but he didn't feel cold.

At this moment, worry about my sister-in-law outweighs everything.

When they arrived at Tuanjie Lake, the guard outside stopped Xu Yuexin for a moment, and only let him pass after he saw through the light that it was a familiar face.

Xu Yuexin parked his motorcycle downstairs of Chen Yixue's house, took out the keys from his pocket, rushed to the stairs, and went upstairs quickly.

After reaching the door, Xu Yuexin opened it and smelled a faint fragrance coming from inside.

"Clap."

Xu Yuexin pressed the switch, and the 80-watt incandescent lamp instantly illuminated the room.

The room was neatly arranged without any signs of clutter. The sofa was even covered with a cloth to prevent dust from falling on it.

Xu Yuexin felt relieved when he saw this.

It seems that my sister-in-law didn't encounter any accident, she just hasn't lived here for some time.

Is she traveling, or where else?
Xu Yuexin thought to himself that he couldn't guess what his sister-in-law was doing.

Got it!

As he was thinking, Xu Yuexin slapped his forehead, turned around and went out to check the electricity meter.

"Click."

Xu Yuexin opened the electric meter box and used the corridor light to see the electricity usage clearly.

I saw that the electricity meter in my sister-in-law's house was 0 this month and it was 0 last month as well.

It seems that she hasn't lived here for some time.

Is it traveling? Not really.

Long-term travel is not popular these days.

Then there is only one possibility left.

My sister-in-law moved away. Moreover, she didn't tell me and Chen Qiaoqiao.

Xu Yuexin made a conclusion based on the numbers on the electric meter.

After closing the electric meter door, Xu Yuexin returned to the house and looked for any traces left by his sister-in-law.

For example, leave a note or a diary to explain your inner thoughts and your future plans.

After turning on the lights, Xu Yuexin began searching from the living room, then the bedroom.

He searched every table and drawer in the house, but unfortunately he found nothing in the end.

Okay, it seems that she deliberately doesn't want me and Chen Qiaoqiao to know.

Xu Yuexin sighed, sat down on the bed, feeling a little frustrated.

After all, I still couldn't hold my sister-in-law in my hands.

go home.

Xu Yuexin shook his head.

He plans to make a plan to find his sister-in-law in the future.

As for advertising renewal and so on, let’s put it aside for now.

After all, the advertisement will expire in more than ten days, so it doesn’t matter if you contact the TV station later.

In comparison, the whereabouts of the sister-in-law is much more important.

After returning to the Duke's Mansion in the evening, Xu Yuexin picked up a pen and paper and carefully drew up a plan to find his sister-in-law.

The easiest way is to find the housing management office and ask them to look at the house transaction records in Beijing in the past two months.

After all, the real estate market in Beijing at that time was not as huge as it is in later generations, with only two to three hundred units sold per month.

If you search door to door one by one, you will eventually find it.

But the problem is that the housing management office is unlikely to show the data to us.

Because this involves the privacy of others such as their residential address.

So let’s forget about this plan.

Another way is to look for new commercial housing units that have opened in Beijing in the past two years one by one.

Because the purchase and sale of second-hand houses involves viewing the house, transferring ownership and other aspects, the procedures are relatively cumbersome.

Given my sister-in-law's typically shy personality, she may not have the patience to do it.

So she has a high probability of losing the opportunity to buy a new house.

As long as I squat at the door of the new building, I can always wait for her.

Well, let's do it.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuexin put down his pen and made up his mind.

The next morning, he drove to Fangzhuang and waited at one of the main intersections.

In the past year, a total of two new real estate projects have been opened in Beijing, both located in Fangzhuang.

If my sister-in-law chooses to buy a new house, it will definitely be here.

Xu Yuexin inferred.

He stood in the bleak west wind and waited and waited, even the concept of time became blurred.

During this period, he did not wait for his sister-in-law to come, but instead waited for an old man from the public security joint defense team.

"What?"

The old man wearing a red armband saw Xu Yuexin standing there waiting, so he walked up to him and asked cautiously.

"Waiting for someone."

Xu Yuexin pointed to the driveway of his Mercedes-Benz and said, "It took me a long time to drive here."

"Oh……"

The old man then let down his guard and walked away slowly.

Those who can afford to drive a car should not commit crimes.

"Gu..."

"Gu..."

After seeing the old man off, Xu Yuexin waited until noon, until he heard a few calls of turtledoves from the sky.

I looked up at my watch and it was already twelve o'clock.

How about we have a meal and continue waiting?

Xu Yuexin thought to himself and prepared to walk across the street.

Just then, a Santana drove over quickly and almost hit him.

"You have no eyes!"

Xu Yue, the new driver, held the front of the car and cursed fiercely inside.

But as soon as he finished cursing, he looked at the people in the car and was stunned.
