Li Jianghai finished the last mouthful of porridge, put the bowl on the table, and prepared to feed his old hen!

Unexpectedly, Wu Xiaomei quickly cleaned up the dishes, picked up the broom and started cleaning the yard, and also filled the trough in the chicken coop.

Ever since he sold his job, all the housework fell on him.

Unexpectedly, all these tasks are now taken over by my daughter-in-law Wu Xiaomei.

Li Jianghai suddenly felt uncomfortable all over. Originally, seeing that other people in the family had things to do, he could do the housework at home, which was not considered as eating for free.

But now all the work has been left to his daughter-in-law, and she also has to go to the store to help. In comparison, Li Jianghai is the type who just eats plain rice and wants to have pickles with it!

Even though he was always thinking about cheating at work, he had a strong sense of responsibility towards his family. Could the work at home be the same as the work at the factory?

He scratched his head and rubbed his hands uncomfortably, and suddenly remembered Li Guifang's instructions last night - he had to visit Liu Guanggeng more often.

"Xiaomei," Li Jianghai picked up the cloth bag hanging behind the door, "I'm going out for a walk."

Wu Xiaomei was straightening her waist, hanging clothes. Hearing this, she patted the clothes vigorously with her hands and said, "Hey, Dad, take care..."

She stared at her father-in-law's back as he walked out the door, swiftly leaned the wooden basin against the wall, and followed him on tiptoe.

——

Wu Xiaomei followed closely behind, not knowing whether Wu Xiaomei was too cautious or Li Jianghai was too careless.

Anyway, Wu Xiaomei followed him all the way to the People's Park. Li Jianghai even played a lot of tricks and didn't even realize that there was a little tail following him!

Wu Xiaomei was hiding behind a tree, yawning and rubbing her eyes when she suddenly saw a man in a suit chatting with Li Jianghai.

She suddenly shuddered and lost all sleepiness - is this the Liu Guanggeng that her mother-in-law mentioned?

The early morning sunlight filtered through the leaves and shone onto the open space in the park. Li Jianghai was practicing the "White Crane Spreads Its Wings" move when he suddenly heard the crisp sound of leather shoes stepping on the stone road behind him.

"Uncle Li, why are you up so early today?"

Li Jianghai turned around and said, "Hey, don't let me worry about the housework. If you have nothing to do, just come here early!"

"Uncle Li, you are truly a good family man. It's rare to find a man as responsible as you these days!"

“No, no!”

The two men complimented each other for a long time before Li Jianghai noticed that Liu Guanggeng was wearing a neat black suit, his leather shoes were polished to a shine, and even his tie was tied meticulously.

With all the attire, you look very elite!

"Guanggeng, what are you doing..." Li Jianghai stopped and looked him up and down, "Why are you dressed so formally? Aren't you going to morning prayers?"

Liu Guanggeng smiled and adjusted his tie: "Uncle, I have a few partners meeting at the company today to discuss cooperation, so I dressed up a bit."

He checked his watch. "It's still early, so I thought I'd try my luck in the park and see if I could run into you and learn a few tricks from you."

Li Jianghai waved his hands cheerfully: "Haha, you're going to meet your partners soon, so why not have a fight? Don't get your clothes wrinkled."

"Uncle, you're joking." Liu Guanggeng put his briefcase aside and imitated Li Jianghai's previous gesture. "Do you think I'm doing the 'White Crane Spreads Its Wings' correctly?"

Li Jianghai walked over and helped him adjust his movements: "You need to raise your wrist a little higher. Yes, just like that..."

He patted Liu Guanggeng on the shoulder and said, "Your body is too stiff. You need to practice more."

The two of them practiced back and forth for about ten minutes, and Liu Guanggeng suddenly said, "Uncle, why don't you come to the company today? It's a good opportunity to meet the partners."

Li Jianghai hesitated for a moment: "Is this...appropriate?"

"Why not?" Liu Guanggeng said warmly, "We'll all be business partners in the future, so we should meet sooner rather than later!"

"Just consider it as supporting me." Liu Guanggeng put his arm around his shoulder warmly. "With your dignity, who wouldn't look up to us if you sat there?"

Li Jianghai was flattered by the compliment and dusted off his white cotton double-breasted shirt. "Okay! I'll go back and change my clothes."

"No, no," Liu Guanggeng quickly stopped him, "We're all friends, there's no problem with taking it!"

He picked up his briefcase and said, "Shall we go now? My partner should be here soon."

Li Jianghai nodded and followed Liu Guanggeng out of the park.

The old men and women doing morning exercises cast curious glances at him, causing him to straighten his back unconsciously.

Liu Guanggeng talked as he walked.

Li Jianghai felt excited when he heard about how powerful the partner he was going to meet and how good the project prospects were!

Wu Xiaomei saw the man leaving and quickly followed him!

After many twists and turns, Liu Guanggeng and his companion finally arrived at the so-called M Country Electronic Equipment Co., Ltd.

Wu Xiaomei almost lost the person.

Fortunately, she has been in Ji City for so long and is familiar with every fork in the road!

She could only barely keep up with him, and she wondered if he had been discovered and was deliberately leaving her behind!

Seeing the two people turn into a gray three-story building, Wu Xiaomei dared to look over there openly.

There was a peeling sign hanging at the door of the building, which read "Ji City Electronic Equipment Co., Ltd." Oh, there was actually the word "M Country" on it. This name was quite fashionable!

Wu Xiaomei took note of this place and hesitated whether to go back first or follow it to take a look.

As she was hesitating, she heard a loud bang from somewhere, which startled her.

She hurriedly hid in the nearby store, pretending to buy something.

The saleswoman poked her head out and asked, "What would you like to order, comrade?"

"Ah... that..." Wu Xiaomei pointed absentmindedly at the counter, "Give me a large..." When the words came to her lips, she remembered that she couldn't smoke, "Ah, no, no!"

I walked around the door twice and caught a glimpse of the house for rent notice at the door.

Wu Xiaomei straightened her clothes and walked into the building as if nothing had happened.

As soon as I entered the hall, I was stopped by a uniformed security guard: "Excuse me, lady, what can I do for you?"

She pretended to be calm and pointed to the rental notice on the wall: "I see this building is for rent, I want to see the apartment..."

The security guard looked at her suspiciously. "Sorry, individuals can't view the property directly."

He pointed toward the door and said, "You'll have to go through the real estate agency across the street called 'Weimin Real Estate.'"

Wu Xiaomei looked in the direction he pointed and almost laughed out loud!

The so-called "agency" is just a small shop the size of a palm!

"I need an agent just to look at a house?" She rolled her eyes inwardly. "This place is small, and there's so much to do!"

But he had to put on a smile: "Okay, okay, thank you for the reminder, comrade."

As he spoke, he backed away and almost tripped over the threshold.

As they walked out of the building, the smile on Wu Xiaomei's face immediately fell! "Never mind, I'll go find my mom and tell her where to go first!"
