Chapter 630 Partially Cloudy (2/2)

Li Xiuyuan's message startled Su Ziying. She hadn't gotten up and opened the curtains yet. The heavy curtains provided excellent light blocking, and she really didn't know what the weather was like outside.

Su Ziying quickly got up and pulled back the curtains. Sure enough, the weather outside wasn't very good; it was gloomy. Su Ziying's face immediately turned red, and she started typing rapidly on her phone.

"The weather is very sunny where I live, maybe it's just cloudy in some areas."

In Huangyuan County, Li Xiuyuan, who had already reached the bottom of his building, looked at the new message Su Ziying had sent on his phone and immediately frowned. What do you mean by "partially cloudy"? Is there such a thing as a cloudy day?

He memorized it after glancing at the weather forecast at Yun Yanchang's house last night.

But Su Ziying's explanation is a bit strange. It's normal for there to be rain in some areas, but why is it so strange to say that there are cloudy skies in some areas? Even if it were truly sunny in the provincial capital, a normal person could simply say, "When has the weather forecast ever been accurate?" But Su Ziying's explanation is the bizarre statement of "cloudy skies in some areas."

This made Li Xiuyuan think of something, and he immediately sent a message.

"Did Teacher Su just wake up?"

Li Xiuyuan didn't receive the message immediately, which further confirmed his guess. A smile appeared on his face. He could imagine that Su Ziying at home must be feeling a little hot at this moment, and her cheeks might even have a beautiful blush.

Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but look forward to it, hoping that the holiday would end soon and Su Ziying would be back from the provincial capital.

"Mayor Li."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan looked up and saw it was Wang Chunhua, an elderly woman from the neighborhood.

"Good morning, Aunt Wang." Li Xiuyuan was in a good mood, and a smile was on his face.

Wang Chunhua's face lit up with surprise when she saw Li Xiuyuan: "It really is Mayor Li! I haven't seen Mayor Li in the neighborhood for a long time. He must be very busy with work."

"It's alright." Li Xiuyuan nodded: "Aunt Wang, this isn't work, just call me Xiuyuan."

"Hey, Xiuyuan..." Wang Chunhua called out.

Li Xiuyuan chatted with the other party for a few minutes before going upstairs. He arrived home just in time for breakfast.

After breakfast, Li Xiuyuan strolled around looking for an internet cafe to check his stocks, but both internet cafes he visited were packed with people. During the holiday, internet cafes were always crowded, mostly with students.

Li Xiuyuan had no choice but to wait and see. After leaving the internet cafe, he received a call from Tian Wei, who said that it was the May Day holiday and everyone should get together.

Li Xiuyuan's expression was a little strange when he heard about the classmates getting together. He hadn't had a get-together with his high school classmates, nor with his junior high classmates, but instead, he had to get together with his classmates from the training class.

Li Xiuyuan asked who was going to meet, and Tian Wei said it was just the same few people from before. After asking about the time, they decided to meet at noon today, and Li Xiuyuan agreed.

At noon, Li Xiuyuan arrived at the Xiaokang Restaurant, where he had arranged to meet. Tian Wei, Zheng Zhihong, Lei Yang, Wan Xinxin, and Xing Weitao were all there. Li Xiuyuan greeted everyone and then sat down in the main seat.

This is only natural. He was the only deputy section-level cadre present. If he didn't sit in the main seat, who else would?

During the meal, Li Xiuyuan also talked about some work in the central town, but it was all superficial and he never went into depth. Everyone was having a harmonious conversation.
