Chapter 233 What’s the matter?

After the evening self-study get out of class that day, Wang Shan got in the car and Lin Qiu handed her a box of cut fruit.

"It's so comfortable!" she exclaimed while holding the fruit.

Isn’t it comfortable!

With the air conditioner on in the car and a sweet watermelon in my mouth, there is no more comfortable moment than this.

The weather is really hot now. It's like a furnace outside and the temperature in the classroom is no less.

There were too many people, and just a few fans were not enough.

Lin Qiu looked at her lovingly, "Are you hungry? Do you want to buy some midnight snacks to bring back?"

Wang Shan nodded, "I want to eat crayfish."

"Okay! Let's go to Dragon's Nest now." Wang Xiuren immediately changed direction and drove towards Xixiang.

Longchao Xuyi Lobster is a new restaurant that opened last year. The lobster, chicken hotpot and barbecue there are all excellent.

"Order another serving of durian and coconut chicken hotpot. Mom and Dad should still be awake at this moment. Let's pack it up and take it home for a meal together." Lin Qiu suggested.

This year, my family has been busy with my daughter's exams, so I haven't taken the old couple out to try new things. It's just right that the weather is hot now and they sleep late, so we can join in the fun.

"Order some more barbecue. Dad likes grilled squid and tendon." Wang Xiuren continued.

"Well, Shanshan, is there anything else you want to eat?" Lin Qiu turned around and looked at his daughter in the back seat. "Would you like to order a drink? There is a new milk tea shop near Longchao."

"It's better not to drink milk tea at night. You won't be able to sleep after drinking it. Have you forgotten the lesson we learned last time?" Wang Xiuren quickly stopped her.

"Look at my memory!" Lin Qiu tapped his forehead, "Then drink some freshly squeezed coconut juice."

"Okay, just wait in the car, I'll go down and buy it." Wang Xiuren parked the car and said as he unbuckled his seat belt.

"Shall I join you?"

Just as Lin Qiu was about to unbuckle his seat belt, Wang Xiuren held him down.

"It's so hot outside, you and Shanshan should stay in the car and enjoy the air conditioning. I'll be back soon."

Lin Qiu had no choice but to give up.

When I got home after buying some midnight snacks, the old couple were still awake and were sitting on the sofa watching TV.

"Dad, Mom, come and have some midnight snack!" Wang Xiuren raised the bag in his hand.

"Oh, crayfish!" Lin Ting's sharp eyes saw what was inside the takeaway box through the white plastic bag.

"There are also the grilled squid and grilled tendon that you like!" Wang Xiuren placed the takeout boxes in the bag on the dining table one by one.

"There's also freshly squeezed coconut juice." Lin Qiu put the coconut juice on the table and called for the old couple to come over.

The spicy crayfish is really spicy, but also very satisfying.

Most of the three pounds of lobster went into Wang Shan's stomach. She peeled the lobster while slurping it, sipping the sweet coconut juice from time to time. There was also shrimp meat peeled by Wang Xiuren in the bowl.

Lin Qiu and her daughter prefer durian coconut chicken, while Lin Ting and Wang Xiuren, father-in-law and son-in-law, eat barbecue and drink cold beer.

The family was eating barbecue and chatting happily.

No one mentioned the joint entrance examination or the college entrance examination.

Although the college entrance examination is less than a month away, the most common thing people say to Wang Shan is: "Just try your best. It doesn't matter what you do on the exam."

Wang Shan happily had a long-awaited midnight snack. After sitting for a quarter of an hour, she went to wash up.

After washing up, I didn’t go to the study to read or do exercises, but went straight to bed.

The next day, after sending his daughter to school, Wang Xiuren received an unexpected call.

As soon as he got home, Lin Qiu noticed that something was wrong with his expression.

"What's wrong? What happened on the construction site?"

"Nothing." Wang Xiuren spoke frankly about the phone call he had just received, "The old party secretary of our village called me today."

This is even stranger.

I have been in Pengcheng for fifteen years since 1992, and have only been back twice.

Not to mention that he has no contact with the villagers, even Wang Xiuren only calls his parents to say hello during the holidays and gives them some money as a gift.

"Did you say anything?"

Wang Xiuren was also confused. "He just said that he, the village chief, and the accountant had come to Pengcheng, and asked me if I had time to meet with them."

"Then do you want to see it?"

Wang Xiuren thought for a moment and said, "Let's meet. After all, the old branch secretary is so old, it's not easy for him to come here."

"Then just invite them to dinner and ask them at the dinner table if they have any difficulties." Lin Qiu also felt that the village cadres would not come to Pengcheng for no reason.

"Okay, I'll call the old branch secretary back right away."

Wang Xiuren immediately called the old branch secretary and asked him to have lunch at Luoding Restaurant at noon today.

"Do you want to go with me?" After hanging up the phone, Wang Xiuren looked at Lin Qiu who was tidying up the sofa.

"Just go. Pingping is going to take Liuliu to the hospital today, and she wants me to help her guard the newsstand for the whole morning." Lin Qiu put the pillows away one by one.

"What's wrong with Liuliu?"

Lin Qiu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when talking about this naughty fat boy. "He ate too much candy and got cavities in his teeth. How come this kid loves candy so much even though he's almost graduated from elementary school? He always holds a lollipop in his mouth. Last night he cried because of a toothache, but he just couldn't bear to spit out the candy in his mouth."

"This guy! I really don't know what to say." Wang Xiuren smiled and shook his head. "By the way, how is the newsstand now?"

"It's much worse now than before. Pingping is planning not to renew the lease of the newsstand after the lease expires." Lin Qiu also felt that it was time to change the approach.

She picked up her cell phone and saw that it was getting late, so she picked up a canvas bag, changed her shoes, and went out.

Since Wang Xiuren had made an appointment to have dinner with the old branch secretary and others, he had no plans to go to the construction site in the morning, so he fell on the sofa and took a nap.

When I woke up, Zhou Qing was preparing lunch in the kitchen.

"Mom, don't cook for me. I have an appointment with someone to eat out." Wang Xiuren said loudly towards the kitchen.

"Where's Qiuqiu? Will she go with you?" Zhou Qing came out holding the inner pot of the rice cooker.

"She's not going. She went to the newsstand to help Pingping look at the newspapers." Wang Xiuren turned over and smoothed the sofa cover.

"Then cook a little more and ask your father to bring it over later." Zhou Qing was about to scoop rice.

Wang Xiuren looked at the bright sun outside and hurriedly stopped them, "It's so hot, don't ask Dad to go out. It would be bad if he gets heatstroke. I'll pack two dishes from the restaurant and send them to them later."

Not only did Zhou Qing feel comforted by these words, but Lin Ting, who was sitting in a rocking chair with a fan, also felt relieved.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. You should also pay attention to safety when driving!" Zhou Qing reminded.

Lin Ting also followed suit: "If you drive, don't drink alcohol."

"I got it! Dad, Mom, I'm leaving first." Wang Xiuren took the car keys, changed his shoes, and went out.

When Wang Xiuren arrived at Luoding Restaurant, the old party secretary, the village chief, the accountant, and a young man in his early twenties were squatting under a tree outside the restaurant smoking.

"Uncle Zhi, Uncle Zhong, Uncle Jianhua, why don't you get in and sit down?" Wang Xiuren hurriedly got out of the car.

"Xiu Ren, you're here."

Several people quickly put out their cigarettes, threw them into a nearby trash can, wiped their hands on their clothes, and then went forward.
