Li Xiuyuan went out with his things, and Wang Zhitao followed behind him to see him off, but Li Xiuyuan shook his head and refused. It wasn't far away, so he just strolled over to see the central town at night.
After Li Xiuyuan came out of the town government, he walked towards his sister's in-laws' house. He had been there many times before and was very familiar with it. It was not too far from the county government, about one kilometer away.
At this point in the central town, some shops have closed, but quite a few are still open, such as restaurants, large and small restaurants, bathhouses, and some small grocery stores.
There weren't many people on the streets. The weather had just returned from the Lunar New Year, and the daytime weather had gradually warmed up. However, it was still very cold at night. However, the flashing neon lights of an entertainment venue were quite eye-catching.
At this time, Zhang Yucai from the Zhang family looked at his watch and wanted to go to the door to greet him.
But Li Qingqing stopped him. It was not appropriate. The old man was so old in the winter night, and it would not be appropriate to greet him at the door to greet him. It would not be appropriate to spread the news.
Li Qingqing persuaded Zhang Yucai, but Zhang Yucai still sent his son Zhang Zhihao out and asked him to wait at the door.
Li Qingqing was speechless. She felt sorry for her husband. If she had known earlier, she would have let her father-in-law go. This was really making a fuss out of nothing.
To her, no matter what Li Xiuyuan does, he is still her brother. But it is different for Zhang Yucai. If Li Xiuyuan is an ordinary person, he is her son's brother-in-law. But if Li Xiuyuan is the deputy mayor, he is a relative who holds an official position in the family.
When Li Xiuyuan was carrying his things to the door, he saw his brother-in-law standing at the door rubbing his hands because he was cold.
"Brother-in-law, what are you doing at the door in such a cold day?" Li Xiuyuan asked with a smile.
"Welcome to you, so late at night."
"You're being too polite. It's not like I can't find a place." Li Xiuyuan smiled and greeted his brother-in-law as he walked into the yard.
Hearing the voices of Li Xiuyuan and Zhang Zhihao, Zhang Yucai quickly opened the door.
"Zhang Shutu." Li Xiuyuan greeted Zhang Yucai with a smile.
Zhang Yucai had been preparing for an entire afternoon and waiting for Li Xiuyuan to come. At this time, he saw Li Xiuyuan walking towards him from the light in the yard. Layers of hazy yellow light were sprinkled in front and behind Li Xiuyuan.
He was still the same person, with the same warm smile on his face, no different from usual. But after learning that Li Xiuyuan had become the executive deputy mayor of the central town, he looked different in Zhang Yucai's eyes.
Li Xiuyuan seemed to carry an inexplicable aura, and every move he made made him feel pressured.
Zhang Yucai blurted out, "Mayor Li."
Zhang Yucai's words left Li Xiuyuan confused. Is this title appropriate in this situation?
"Uncle Zhang, you should still call me Xiuyuan. If you're so formal, I can't eat this meal!" Li Xiuyuan said as he walked into the house and put down the things in his hands. This was just a joke.
But Zhang Yucai's heart trembled suddenly, and he smiled apologetically: "No, no, I will definitely stay for dinner."
After they sat down, Zhang Yucai filled Li Xiuyuan's glass with wine and said, "Xiuyuan, we just found out you're coming to Central Town. Otherwise, we should have invited you to our home a long time ago."
