But who would have thought that he was in such a hurry that he came looking for them himself.
On the third evening after Yi Chichi arrived at the base, Ji Jian, the wife of the family next door to Commander Lin, invited her to go tide pooling.
Everything was ready, just before departure, Ji Jian hesitated and said, "Chichi, you might not be able to go to the sea."
"Why?"
Yi Chichi, who was adjusting her pant legs, looked up. Ji Jian slightly raised her chin and pointed outside the yard, "Your Wen Shi has brought a guest back."
Yi Chichi followed her gaze and saw Wen Shi and a man coming towards them from the end of the road.
Not in military uniform, he wore a white shirt and black pants, with a pair of three-lace leather shoes on his feet and a pen in his chest pocket.
Under his arm was a briefcase, a typical look for an official.
Seeing Wen Shi and this man chatting and laughing, Yi Chichi quickly thought and apologized to Ji Jian, "Sister-in-law, let's plan for tomorrow."
