The business trip took two days, and Li Xu didn't get home until after eight o'clock the next evening.

Seeing him enter the house, Du Hong quickly stood up, took the bag from his hand, and then went to the kitchen to serve him food.

Seeing that her walking posture had returned to normal, Li Xu couldn't help but chuckle.

Sun Xiu poured him a cup of tea and handed it to him, saying unhappily, "Stop laughing. You should think about returning home tomorrow."

Li Xu was stunned. "What's there to think about? I can just bring some things with me."

"Things are secondary. The main thing is that someone will ask you for help tomorrow, and you have to think about how to respond in advance."

"Ask me for a favor? Want me to help carry something without paying him?"

"If only it were that easy. They're asking for jobs."

"What the hell?" Li Xu exclaimed immediately, "How did they know I could get a job?"

Du Hong, who had just come in with food, heard this and showed a helpless expression on her face. "The day before yesterday, we got married, and Uncle Liu and his family were recognized. And my job unit changed from the hemp spinning factory to the supply and marketing cooperative. They thought it was your doing, so they set their sights on you."

At this time, Li Ping took over the conversation, "It's the same with our neighbors. Someone also recognized those leaders. Plus, when you got married, they heard from others that I now work at the neighborhood office. In the past two days, many people have come to ask for a job. If you had come back five minutes earlier, you would have seen them."

"And those people in our factory have been asking you to help them make some connections these days so that they can get jobs for their children." Li Jiakang echoed.

Li Xu: ...

The neighbors and relatives and friends of the Du family can be said to be scattered in various units, so it is normal that some of them can recognize Liu Wen and others.

He was not surprised at all about this.

But he didn't expect that it would cause trouble.

After a moment's silence, he said, "They beg as much as they want. We won't agree to it."

"That's the logic, but how to refuse is more important." Then Sun Xiu pointed to the food on the table and said, "Eat first, and we'll talk after you finish."

Li Xu understood what she meant. The people he was going to meet tomorrow were all relatives and friends of the Du family. Even if he refused, he couldn't embarrass them.

So he started thinking while eating.

After dinner, Li Xu asked Li Chen to clear the dishes, and then asked, "Mom, did my mother-in-law tell you about the return visit?"

"Well, someone approached them last night and wanted them to say something nice on the day of the wedding. Although they refused, they felt that the other party would still say something, so they asked me to remind you to prepare early."

Li Xu was speechless. "Is there something wrong with this guy's brain? Doesn't he know that Brother Feng and Xiao Sen are still at home and doing nothing?"

When I told him this when I returned home, he would understand.

But what he couldn't understand was that Du Feng and the other two were still unemployed. Why would this person think that Du Ming and his wife would not speak up for their son and daughter-in-law, but would intercede for him?

Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter, even Du Hong.

After laughing, Sun Xiu warned, "Xiao Xu, if someone mentions work to you in front of so many people tomorrow, you must control your temper, understand?"

Being able to do this means that the other party has no intention of saving face.

If Li Xu doesn't agree, what the other party says will definitely not be nice.

Sun Xiu was worried that Li Xu would lose his temper and say something inappropriate, embarrassing everyone.

Li Xu naturally understood what she meant, so he nodded to show that he understood. Then he asked again, "By the way, has anything happened in the county these two days?"

"It happened. I heard that the county leaders sent people to the countryside today to investigate violations and arrested several people."

Li Xu had expected this, so he didn't find it strange at all. He just felt sorry for the people who were arrested.

Apart from this, there is no other emotion.

Everyone chatted for a long time before returning to their rooms.

The first thing Li Xu did after returning to his room was to take a change of clothes and go to the kitchen to take a shower.

After taking a shower and returning to the room, he closed the door, hugged Du Hong and kissed her.

As they kissed, he started to take off his clothes.

But unfortunately, he was pushed away by Du Hong before he could take off his clothes.

Seeing that the buttons of her shirt had been half undone, Du Hong said helplessly, "Why are you in such a hurry? I haven't washed it yet."

"I can't control it."

There is an idiom called "eat the marrow and enjoy its flavor", which describes him exactly.

Ever since he had a taste of it, he has been on a business trip these past two days, and it can be said that he has been thinking about coming back all the time.

Now that he's back home, he naturally can't wait to taste that feeling again.

After Li Xu said this, he moved closer again.

This action startled Du Hong. She didn't even bother to button her clothes. She quickly stretched out her arms to stop him from getting close, saying, "I wash up quickly. It will only take a few minutes. If you don't agree, I'll call someone."

Li Xu didn't want to call his family over, so he suppressed his inner desire and urged, "Then hurry up, I'll wait for you in bed."

Du Hong nodded and walked towards the door while buttoning her clothes.

After she left, Li Xu quickly took off his clothes and got into bed, then stared at the time on his watch.

What he didn't expect was that although he was told it would only take a few minutes, he waited for more than ten minutes and Du Hong didn't come in.

Just as he was wondering whether to put on his clothes and go out to take a look, Du Hong came in.

Li Xu was very excited, "I thought you went back to your parents' house to wash it."

"While I was brushing my teeth, my mom came out and talked to me for a while, which took up quite a bit of time."
