Xie Lanzhi ignored Amuti, held the marble that little Beth gave him, and took out a similar marble from his pocket.

He played with it for a while, his eyes full of tenderness and silent fatherly love.

After a moment, Xie Lanzhi carefully put the two marbles into his pocket for safekeeping.

The next day.

Xie Lanzhi changed into a solemn and dignified Zhongshan suit, and his already elegant and noble demeanor became even more mature and steady.

Qin Shu stood in front of Xie Lanzhi, patted the man on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "You look a few years older when you dress like this."

Xie Lanzhi, who was buttoning his shirt, paused and frowned.

He opened his thin lips slightly and asked in an ambiguous tone, "Do you think I'm older than you?"

The gentle tone conceals a hint of unknown danger.

Qin Shu didn't hear it, her pretty eyebrows slightly raised, and she said truthfully: "I don't dislike you at all, I just feel that when we stand together, it seems like there is a generation gap, and it feels a bit awkward."

She was wearing a white dress with floral patterns, and even though she was pregnant, she still looked like a young girl in her twenties.

Xie Lanzhi's already cold and mature aura made him seem even more unfathomable.

The two of them standing together seemed like they were a generation apart.

Xie Lanzhi put one hand around Qin Shu's waist and lowered his head to capture her lips.

He bit it gently, leaned close to Qin Shu's ear, and jokingly said, "Then Ah Shu, call me uncle?"

uncle?

Qin Shu glanced at Xie Lanzhi and sneered, "I call you uncle, so what should your son call you? Uncle grandpa?"

"..." Xie Lanzhi's behavior of teasing his wife made him feel sick.

He stared at Qin Shu with resentment and pecked her beautiful red lips.

"You open your mouth, sometimes you are really unforgiving."

Qin Shu smiled, stood on tiptoe, hugged Xie Lanzhi's neck, leaned close to his ear, and called out in a sweet voice: "Uncle, Uncle——"

The elongated, soft ending sound gives people goosebumps.

Xie Lanzhi shuddered all over and almost lost control on the spot!

Qin Shu realized that something was wrong, so she immediately pushed the person away and turned to look for the red badge.

"Go to the district committee office building today and arrange for a dormitory as soon as possible. I want to move in quickly so that I can be closer to my brother and the others."

Xie Lanzhi held Qin Shu's pregnant belly from behind, his voice gentle and hoarse: "Got it, I'll try to move in today, and let Aunt Min help you pack your things later."

Qin Shu found the badge, turned around, and put it on Xie Lanzhi's shirt.

She smiled and refused: "No, I can handle it by myself, Aunt Min is also very busy."

Xie Lanzhi raised his hand slightly, stroking the corners of Qin Shu's eyes with his fingertips, and said softly: "Ah Hua's wife will arrive in Yunzhen this afternoon, so you don't have to work so hard from now on."

Qin Shu was so happy: "Really? That's great!"

During her time in Yunzhen, she had long missed Sister Hua's cooking skills.

Yunzhen, district party committee compound office building.

A domineering military jeep was parked at the gate.

Xie Lanzhi, who was wearing a Zhongshan suit, had a straight posture and looked very upright, and seemed to have a good family background, and got down from the back seat.

He was dressed simply and elegantly, looked refined and gentlemanly, and had a very upright temperament.

Tian Liwei and a group of older team members stood downstairs of the office building, looking around and waiting.

As soon as he saw Xie Lanzhi appear, Tian Liwei stepped forward to greet him with a smile on his face.

"Lanzhi, you are really tight-lipped and patient. If it weren't for the transfer order from above, I wouldn't have known that I would work with you.

Or maybe the young people today are working hard enough, this is the Yangtze River where the new generation replaces the old generation, and we old guys are all useless! ”

The old fox's smile was as bright as a flower.

The attitude of an elder and the words he said put Xie Lanzhi in a dilemma.

Xie Lanzhi noticed that the group of people following Tian Liwei had obviously turned unhappy, and there was a hint of hostility in their eyes.

Xie Lanzhi is really too young.

He seemed out of place in front of this group of old people with different thoughts.

Xie Lanzhi narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a gentle tone: "No, I'm new here, and I still need to learn from you seniors to build a better Yunzhen together. If there is anything I am not considerate of in the future, please point it out."
