At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Wen finally arrived in Shannan County.
Li Lin was still handling official business at the county government at that time, until Qiao An ran in and reminded him, "Brother, is sister-in-law coming soon?"
Li Lin quickly put down his work, looked at the clock, and slapped his forehead, saying, "I'm so busy! Wenwen should be here soon."
He quickly dialed Xu Wen's number. Fortunately, Xu Wen had just entered Shannan County and arrived at the community where Li Lin lived in about ten minutes.
Li Lin took Qiao An, hurried downstairs, got in the car, and rushed back to the community.
Qiao An went upstairs first to help Li Rong cook.
Li Lin stood at the gate of the community downstairs, checking his watch and looking around...
Li Rong stood on the third floor and looked down. Seeing Li Lin standing impatiently at the door, a kind smile appeared on her face.
Qiao An rolled up her sleeves and walked into the kitchen, constantly asking, "Auntie, where are the vegetables? Where is the basin? Is there anything else I can help you with?"
Li Rong stood in front of the window and said without turning her head, "The daylily has gone cold by the time you come to help me. Don't panic, I have prepared the dishes."
Qiao An took a bite of a tomato in her hand, walked out of the kitchen, and said with a smile, "Aunt, I'm busy. I asked Xinyu to come back to help you, but you didn't let me..."
Li Rong smiled and glared at him, "Don't eat it all, I'll use it to decorate the plate later."
Qiao An laughed shamelessly, "I'll just eat this one, there are still a few left. This tomato is tasty. Where did you buy it, Auntie?"
Li Rong didn't say anything, and ordered, "Go to the back room and get a bottle of red wine. It's the first time we meet, so putting a bottle of wine there makes it look more serious."
Qiao An agreed and went into the back room to find some wine while eating a tomato.
Soon, a bottle of red wine was pulled out of the house and placed on the dining table.
downstairs.
A taxi with a Hanjiang license plate slowly drove into the aisle...
No need to think too much, it was the one Xu Wen was riding.
Before the car got closer, Xu Wen in the car saw Li Lin standing at the door waiting for her from afar.
She excitedly rolled down the car window, stuck her head out, waved and shouted, "Xiao Linzi, Xiao Linzi..."
Li Lin took two quick steps to meet the car. As soon as the car stopped, he reached out to open the door, bent down, went in and hugged Xu Wen.
"Are you tired from the journey? I'll carry you upstairs!"
Li Lin smiled and got into the princess hug position.
It was dark at this time and there were few people on the road. No one would notice that the head of a county was carrying a woman home.
Xu Wen smiled and pecked him on the cheek, saying, "No need to hold me, I can go upstairs by myself..."
When she met Li Lin's family for the first time, she had to leave a good impression of being gentle and virtuous on Li Rong.
If Li Lin carried her upstairs, who knows what Li Rong would say about her after she left. Would she say she was hypocritical? She had a temper like a spoiled little girl? She was ignorant? ...
Li Lin walked in front carrying the luggage, and Xu Wen followed him obediently, looking up and down the old building with curiosity from time to time.
Li Lin walked in front and said with a smile, "I have lived in this building for more than ten years. The neighbors upstairs and downstairs get along very well. The longer we live here, the deeper our feelings become."
Xu Wen agreed with a smile, "Yes, we have lived in this house for many years, and I have never thought of moving away. This place... should hold many good memories for you, right?"
"Well, lots of good memories..." Li Lin smiled.
Xu Wen asked mischievously, "Have you ever brought a girl back?"
Li Lin turned around and smiled, "You are the first and the last."
Xu Wen pretended not to believe it and said coquettishly, "You're lying. Didn't you ever bring a female classmate home when you were in school?"
Li Lin smiled and teased her, "There weren't any female classmates, but the female teacher did bring one back..."
"Ah? You are so charming? Even the female teachers..." Xu Wen was surprised.
Li Lin smiled and said, "What are you thinking? I am the top student in the class. If a female teacher comes home with me, of course I will tell my parents the good news! Not only is there a female teacher, but there is also a female principal..."
"Oh...I thought..." Xu Wen smiled shyly, lowering her head.
Walk to the door of Zheng Pei’s house on the second floor.
Perhaps hearing Li Lin's voice, Zheng Peipei suddenly pushed open the door.
When she saw Li Lin carrying luggage and walking upstairs with a pretty girl, a trace of loss flashed across her eyes.
Li Lin glanced at her and asked awkwardly, "Director Zheng, are you back from get off work?"
Zheng Pei stood at the door, staring blankly at Li Lin and Xu Wen behind him. She pursed her lips, suppressed her jealousy, smiled politely, and said, "Well, I'm not busy this afternoon. I came back early... County Magistrate Li, who is this person behind you?"
She was nervous, afraid to hear Li Lin say "This is my girlfriend..."
But if she didn't ask, she would be too curious.
She looked at Li Lin with expectation... hoping that he would say this is my cousin or some relative.
But reality is like a sharp thorn, piercing her heart mercilessly...
Without waiting for Li Lin to speak.
Xu Wen took a step forward, took the initiative to extend her hand and introduced herself, "Hello, my name is Xu Wen, I'm Li Lin's girlfriend, nice to meet you!"
Her smile was confident, generous, and cheerful...like a rising sun, dispelling the darkness in the corridor.
Zheng Pei stretched out her hand and shook Xu Wen's hand, nodded stupidly, and said, "So beautiful... County Magistrate Li has a good eye... Oh, my name is Zheng Pei, and I'm County Magistrate Li's colleague... Welcome to Shannan..."
After saying hello.
Li Lin nodded to Zheng Pei, then continued to walk upstairs with Xu Wen.
Zheng Pei stood at the door for a long time, listening to the laughter of Li Lin and Xu Wen, her heart ached...
