Yun Ningyan looked at the group of people and found it somewhat amusing.
She lowered her voice and said to Huo Junshan, "You're saying she's so eager to get a divorce because she found this kind of man?"
Huo Junshan shook his head: "I don't know, maybe?"
"Old and ugly, not even as good as the eldest brother."
Yun Ningyan muttered something, which Huo Junshan heard clearly.
"This is her choice and has nothing to do with us. Let's eat quickly, and then we'll go back."
Just then, Xiao Zhenhua and Xiao Hongjun entered from the restaurant entrance.
Xiao Zhenhua said to his father, "Dad, there are no seats left? What do we do?"
Xiao Hongjun looked around, his eyes twitched, and he pulled his son inside.
"Come on, let's see who I saw. Ningning actually came to the county town. Didn't you see her just now?"
He pulled Xiao Zhenhua inside, speaking softly. The restaurant was noisy, and neither Yun Ningyan nor Huo Junshan heard him.
Huo Junshan and Yun Ningyan only noticed when the two got closer.
Yun Ningyan exclaimed in delight, "Uncle Xiao, Teacher Xiao!"
Xiao Zhenhua waved his hand: "Why call me Teacher Xiao? We're outside. Call me brother!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Huo Junshan's face turn cold.
She quickly refused, saying, "Fine, whatever makes you happy. Shout whatever you want!"
Huo Junshan got up and brought chairs over for the two of them: "Uncle Xiao, please sit down."
"I'll go buy two more groceries; we've almost finished these two."
Xiao Hongjun stopped him, saying, "No need. Let Zhenhua go over there. You sit and take care of Ningning."
"Why didn't you two come to see your uncle when you came to the county town?"
Xiao Hongjun only then remembered to make trouble, and Yun Ningyan laughed happily.
"We came here for a check-up, and we were hungry after leaving the hospital."
Xiao Zhenhua then returned with the food and sat down in front of Xiao Hongjun.
Just then, he heard a familiar voice.
"Xiao Huo, Ningning has lost weight. Have you been taking good care of her?"
He felt that the voice sounded so familiar, like the name of Secretary Xiao that he had met once before!
He turned his head in shock, looking at the man talking eloquently not far away.
He then ignored everyone at the table and got up to come over here.
He's been in that factory director position for many years, dealing with the production teams every day.
Their factory is a cotton mill, and it's very dirty.
Even wearing a mask when entering the workshop is not allowed.
He coughs sometimes for no apparent reason.
I was just thinking of using connections to get myself transferred!
No.
Then the person arrived.
Wang Qiaoqiao stared in shock at the departing Factory Director Liu: "Factory Director Liu, where are you going?"
Factory Director Liu waved his hand, not bothering to say anything, and went straight to Huo Junshan's table.
A smile immediately spread across his face, and he bent down and called out softly.
It seemed as if they were afraid of startling Xiao Hongjun, who was speaking.
"Secretary Xiao, you're having dinner here too? What a coincidence!"
"I am Liu Zhigang from the cotton mill!"
Xiao Hongjun, who was talking to Yun Ningyan, was interrupted, and his face immediately showed displeasure.
Who are you?
Factory Director Liu was surprised that Secretary Xiao did not recognize him. He was embarrassed for a moment, then smiled and said, "I am Liu Zhigang, the factory director of the cotton mill. I delivered some materials to your office last month."
Xiao Hongjun turned around and looked at him, as if he had remembered.
"It's after get off work hours now. If you need anything, just follow the procedures."
Factory Director Liu wasn't annoyed; he just gave an awkward laugh.
"I'm sorry, I was so excited when I saw you."
He looked at Xiao Zhenhua, Huo Junshan, and Yun Ningyan.
"Secretary, who are these three?"
Xiao Hongjun's face had turned cold. How could this person not see that his expression was not good?
It's so annoying that people are still asking around here.
He rarely eats here, precisely because of this; he always seems to run into troublemakers.
However, due to his good upbringing, he still answered Liu Zhigang's question.
"The younger generation in the family."
Xiao Hongjun waved his hand, indicating that their dishes had already been served.
"Alright, let's follow the procedures. We're about to eat, so you should leave now. It's not good for you to be here."
Liu Zhigang had no choice but to return to their dining table.
But what I kept thinking about was how to get to see the Party Secretary.
These people clearly have a close relationship with Secretary Xiao.
They could all sit at the same table to eat, and they seemed so easygoing and natural.
Even if they're not relatives, they're still friends.
Those three people looked very young, so they probably weren't friends. Secretary Xiao had already said they were younger members of his family.
Those were the nephews and nieces of the Xiao family.
He was so anxious that he scratched his head, wanting to know the identities of these three people.
Several people noticed that he seemed distracted.
Wang Qiaoqiao, a lively person, asked, "Director Liu, what happened? Who were those people just now?"
Factory Director Liu looked back at Xiao Hongjun again and smiled, "That's the county party secretary, and his children."
Wang Cuihong never expected that the person was actually the Party Secretary. Yun Ningyan's father actually knew the Party Secretary!
She hesitated, wanting to say that she knew them, but then thought that she shouldn't know them.
So he kept his head down and ate his food.
Director Liu noticed her expression.
Liu Zhigang chuckled twice and kept the matter in mind.
Since I have connections, I'll definitely use them; I can't stay in that factory forever.
He wanted to go up a bit.
Liu Zhigang's interruption was just a minor incident; Yun Ningyan and the others had already started eating.
Xiao Zhenhua then asked, "Have you finished all the work in the fields since you came to the county? School should be starting soon! I should head back too!"
Huo Junshan didn't want him to go back at all. He should try to get close to Yanyan as soon as he went to the brigade.
Although that's what I think in my heart, I can't actually say it out loud.
He simply nodded: "The brigade hasn't notified us yet, but it should be soon."
Xiao Hongjun smiled and said, "Ningning, eat more. I'll buy you milk powder, malted milk powder, steamed egg cake, and canned food."
"I was originally planning to have Zhenhua take it back with him, but I didn't expect to run into you guys today!"
Yun Ningyan smiled and said, "Uncle Xiao, I'm not that delicate. Huo Junshan bought a lot of food and supplies. How could I possibly eat so much by myself!"
"Please take this back with you two, Auntie!"
Xiao Zhenhua smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. My mom has nothing to do at home all day, and there's plenty of food at home."
“My son and I earn money, and she’s the one who spends it all. Lately, she’s been nagging me about when she can see you!”
Xiao Hongjun also laughed and said, "Oh dear, her health has been poor since she retired, so I made her retire early. Now she has nothing to do at home."
Yun Ningyan smiled sweetly: "Then when there's a chance, Huo Junshan and I will go visit Auntie together."
Xiao Hongjun suddenly clapped his hands, startling Yun Ningyan.
Xiao Hongjun patted Xiao Zhenhua's hand: "Zhenhua, remember these words. You'll have to ask Ningning to fulfill them in the future."
Everyone laughed.
