Chapter 408 A distinguished visitor 2
At ten o'clock, they cooked noodles for Xibao and used stewed bone soup to feed him and coax him to sleep. They asked the children to watch over him and returned to the kitchen to prepare lunch. Not long after, they heard someone knocking on the door outside, but the voice was not clear.
"It's snowing heavily outside, who has nothing better to do than come out and visit?"
"You go and take a look, maybe it's Dad or Uncle Xu and the others." Because the food at home is good, he is used to locking the door.
"Yes, yes, my dear wife, I'll go right away. Wait for me to come back before cooking. Don't do it alone." Lu Jiang said as he gestured for her to lock the things that cannot be seen by outsiders in the cupboard first, and then he went to open the door himself. Standing at the door was a middle-aged man covered in snow pushing a bicycle. He had thick eyebrows and looked intimidating without even being angry.
"Who are you?" Lu Jiang asked doubtfully. He felt that the person in front of him looked familiar.
"Ajiang, who is that?" Feng Qingxue followed him out of the kitchen.
Lu Jiang turned sideways to let her see the person at the door clearly. He didn't know him, but he might be an acquaintance of his wife.
Feng Qingxue didn't recognize him either, so she asked crisply, "Comrade, who are you looking for?"
The middle-aged man asked politely, "Excuse me, are you Comrade Lu Jiang and Comrade Feng Qingxue?"
"Yes, who are you?"
Hearing Feng Qingxue admit his identity, the middle-aged man immediately smiled, and a cloud of white mist covered his face.
"Comrades, I am Cheng Baoguo. My mother said yesterday that she met her savior and was very excited. After finding out your addresses, she insisted on visiting you in person to thank you. It's snowing so heavily, how could I dare to let you two go out? It happened that I didn't have to go to work today, so I came here on my own. Please forgive me for my intrusive visit."
Feng Qingxue was dumbfounded. "Mayor Cheng? I didn't tell Aunt Cheng the address. How did you find it?"
"Qingxue, please ask Mayor Cheng to sit in his house first." Lu Jiang reminded.
"Yes, yes, yes." Feng Qingxue responded, "It's snowing heavily and it's cold outside. Mayor Cheng, please come inside and sit down. Ah Jiang, push Mayor Cheng's bicycle to the west wing. Don't leave it outside and let it freeze."
"A bicycle is not a person, it cannot be damaged by freezing. Comrades, please stop working. Also, just call me Cheng Baoguo."
Cheng Baoguo took down a basket hanging on his bicycle, which was covered with an oilcloth. He shook off the snowflakes and covered it again.
That being said, how could Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue dare to be so rude as to call him by his name?
Lu Jiang shook his head desperately, "I don't dare, I don't dare."
Feng Qingxue said, "Let's call you Comrade Cheng Baoguo. Comrade Cheng, please come in."
When the children who were reading by the fire in the house saw the guests coming, they stood up and greeted them with their eyes rolling.
"Acheng, take your brother and Xiaoyun to your room to read. Tianjun, go call grandpa first and tell him that there are distinguished guests at home."
"Oh! Okay!" Lu Tianjun put down the cradle containing Xibao.
After the children left, Lu Jiang asked Cheng Baoguo to sit down.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Feng Qingxue looked at the cradle, turned around and poured some water for Cheng Baoguo, saying, "How did Comrade Cheng find our house?"
Cheng Baoguo put the basket he brought at his feet, took the enamel pot, and said with a smile: "Comrade Qingxue did good deeds without leaving her name or address, which is a model. My mother felt very sorry, so she asked around at the grocery store, but didn't find out anything useful. So she asked around outside and found the post office, but didn't find out anything either. Then she heard that the mule cart had stopped at the entrance of the Mining Bureau for a long time, so she went there and found Comrade Wang Zhengguo. There was no need to ask around anymore."
Is it still possible to do this? Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue looked at each other in bewilderment.
