Chapter 16 (2)

I came here before lunch, why hasn't he arrived yet?"

Just as he finished speaking, a crisp female voice rang out from outside the house: "Ask Dad, ask Mom, are they home?"

"Here you are!" Zhu Meizhen's eyes lit up, and she quickly walked to the door and opened the mosquito-proof curtain. She was stunned when she saw him: "Director Li, why are you here?"

Director Li is the women's director of Taoyuan Production Brigade and is in her forties.

"I am here to tell you the good news today, acting as a magpie!" Director Li pointed to a friendly woman next to him, "This is Director Wu from the Women's Federation of our commune."

"Hello, Director Wu." Zhu Meizhen wiped her hands on herself before shaking hands with Director Wu. "Come in and talk first. It's hot outside."

When Xu Wen saw Lu Yuanzheng holding gifts in both hands, he couldn't help laughing.

It turned out that the Xu family was really waiting for him?! He really had a way to make the Xu family treat him so well in just one day.

The Xu family's house was small and crowded. Ten people, young and old, could barely fit in. When Lu Yuanzheng came in, the room seemed even more crowded, especially since Lu Yuanzheng was tall, and the whole room seemed a bit cramped.

Everyone in the Xu family stood up, and Xu Qie asked Xu Wang to give up his stool and hand it to Director Li.

Director Li motioned Director Wu to sit down. Director Wu shook his head and said, "I'm so sorry to bother you so late at dinner time. I'll keep it short and try to take up as little of your time as possible. I'm here to act as a matchmaker."

Director Wu pointed at Lu Yuanzheng and said, "This comrade is called Lu Yuanzheng. He is from the Lujia Brigade next door. He is an exceptionally outstanding comrade."

The Xu family members fell silent, looking at each other in astonishment.

Director Wu saw this and wondered, "Why? Ask if you have found your husband's family?"

Before Zhu Meizhen could even utter a word, she heard Liu Xiu'e's loud voice: "Ask mom, we're here."

Without waiting to be invited, Liu Xiu'e lifted the curtain and came in. She was stunned when she saw Director Li. "Hey, Director Li is here too?" She scanned the crowd. "So many people? Isn't this a bit too grand?"

Someone came in behind her.

Wen Yiming and a middle-aged couple.
