Back from Zheng Pei's house.

Li Rong has already prepared dinner.

Li Lin went to the balcony, took out a bottle of wine, and poured it for the three of them.

Qiao An looked at Li Lin in surprise and asked, "Brother, don't you not drink on weekdays?"

Li Lin smiled with ease and said, "I haven't seen my aunt for so long. Let's drink a little with her tonight."

Joan hasn't had a chance to drink since she got in the car.

When I heard that I could drink, I excitedly put down my chopsticks and ran to the kitchen, poured a plate of peanuts, and washed two cucumbers...

"Brother, drinking wine should be accompanied by peanuts. Without peanuts, the wine will not taste good, hehe..."

He put two plates of "dishes" on the table with a silly smile.

Li Lin raised his glass to Li Rong, "Aunt, I've been busy lately and haven't been home much. I feel bad about it, but there's nothing I can do..."

Li Rong raised her wine glass and smiled, saying, "I'm used to being alone. Didn't I live alone during those years when you were studying away from home? Don't feel any psychological pressure. My health has recovered well in the past two years. There are no major problems now. You can work with peace of mind and don't have to worry about me all the time."

Qiao An interrupted and said, "That's right, brother, just focus on your work. Anyway, we both work at the county government now, and it's close to home. If you really can't leave for something, I'm here for you."

This is true. I now work in the county government, which is very close to home. No matter how busy I am, I can go home often.

The three of them clinked their glasses with a smile and took a sip.

Li Rong thought of Zheng Pei downstairs and was very grateful that this girl often came upstairs to visit her, so she asked Li Lin, "Xiao Lin, don't blame me for being nosy. What's going on between you and the girl downstairs?"

Li Lin put down his chopsticks and replied, "We are just ordinary friends."

Li Rong couldn't help but frown and sighed, "What a pity, such a good girl... Since you don't have that kind of intention towards her, you should be careful to keep your distance and don't let her misunderstand..."

"I understand, aunt." Li Lin nodded.

Just as the three of them were drinking and chatting about family matters, there was a knock on the door.

"I'll open the door."

Qiao An was quick. He put down his wine glass and ran to the door to open it.

Seeing the person coming, Qiao An was stunned for a moment. This person looked familiar and seemed to be from the county government...

Seeing the visitor carrying a lot of gifts, Qiao An immediately understood his intention, but he couldn't make a decision, so he shouted into the house, "Brother, there are guests, come out..."

Yu Xiu Bo stood at the door, smiling innocently at Qiao An who opened the door.

Soon, Li Lin came over.

"Director Yu, why are you here?" Li Lin asked in surprise.

The official notice that he was in charge of the China Merchants Group had not yet been issued, and few people in the government should have known about it. Yu Xiubao had a keen sense of smell and came to him so quickly.

Yu Xiubo said with a smile, "County Magistrate Li, I offended many people in the provincial capital because of Longjian Group's investment promotion work. I came here today to apologize, hehe..."

Looking at the cigarettes and alcohol in Yu Xiubao's hands, Li Lin couldn't help laughing.

Apologies and the like are just excuses, giving gifts is the real thing, right?

But he turned out to be a guest, and he also worked in the same government building, so it seemed unreasonable to turn him away.

Li Lin signaled Qiao An to welcome Yu Xiubao in.

Li Lin's home is an old building, not very large, and without a dedicated dining table. Usually the family eats together around the coffee table in the living room.

Yu Xiubo's sudden visit caught Li Lin off guard, because there was food on the coffee table and there was no place to entertain the guests...

Li Rong was the one who reacted quickly. While she was packing up the food and taking it to the kitchen, she signaled Qiao An to move out the folding table on the balcony and a small stool for Yu Xiubao to sit on first.

Yu Xiubao didn't hesitate to take the stool and put it under his butt.

Sitting in the house, Yu Xiubao looked around at the furnishings in the house and couldn't help but sigh in his heart - it's really shabby!

An old house like this is now worth at most a few hundred thousand yuan, which is a far cry from the price of a new house in the county.

Moreover, the house is so small and the decoration is so simple that it is hard to imagine that this is the home of a deputy county magistrate.

Li Lin also moved a stool and sat down opposite Yu Xiubao.

Qiao An brought out two cups of tea from the kitchen and placed them on the folding table in front of Yu Xiubo.

"Tea, please..."

Joan didn't know what the other person was calling her, so she smiled politely and prepared to turn around and go back to the bedroom.

Yu Xiubo stopped him with a smile and said with interest, "Are you Brother Qiao An? Oh, I've heard that County Magistrate Li is accompanied by a martial arts master, but I didn't expect him to be so young. Work hard, and come to my room for tea when you have time. My last name is Yu, and I work for the Merchants Bank. I work on the fourth floor, hehe..."

Qiao An had never been praised like this before. She scratched her head in embarrassment and said with a simple smile, "Thank you for the compliment, Director Yu. My kung fu is not as good as my brother's, haha..."

Having said that, Qiao An took two quick steps and hid back in the bedroom.

He had no experience in dealing with other county leaders, and he was not used to it for a while. He could not understand a word they said, and could not say a word. He was afraid of disturbing the conversation between Li Lin and others if he stayed outside, so he consciously avoided them.

So is Li Rong.

She brought out a plate of fruit from the kitchen and placed it on the folding table. She smiled, said hello, and prepared to go back to her room.

But he was stopped by Yu Xiubao.

Yu Xiu Bo is nearly fifty years old, and is actually not much younger than Li Rong. Logically speaking, it would not be an exaggeration for him to call her "sister", but Yu Xiu Bo called Li Rong "Auntie".

He said, "Aunt, I have wanted to come and see you for a long time, but during that time, County Chief Li was transferred to the city, so I never came. Look, this is the health product I brought for you. It is not worth much. Drink a little every morning. It is very good for your body. I drink it every day now, hehe..."
