After Qin Xiangnan left, Lan Xi sat for a while. The middle boss came over with a cup of black tea and sat in Qin Xiangnan's seat: "Did you seize the opportunity?"
Lan Xi looked out the window. The weather in Hai City had turned gloomy since the afternoon. Passersby were all covered up tightly. "Boss, why did you press the one-way window?"
The boss followed her gaze and took a sip of tea:
"In the summer, everyone who passes by will look at themselves in the mirror, and in the winter, one-way glass will seem even warmer!"
Lan Xi smiled, not expecting the boss to give such an answer: "My first mover is still hesitating!"
The boss shook his head and looked at Lan Xi with eyes filled with amazement every time she walked into his store: "You scared her! But..."
He took a sip of tea and stood up: "She will agree!"
Lan Xi was in a very happy mood. She took out some US dollars and put them under the plate: "Then I'll lend you my good wishes!"
Walking out of the cafe, Lan Xi looked up at the sky. Scattered snowflakes seemed to begin to appear before her eyes. She stretched out her hand, and the snowflakes landed on her fingertips: "It's finally snowing!"
She whispered softly!
"Miss!" Zhu Lingling drove a G-Class to the side of the road, rolled down the window and called Lan Xi.
Watching snowflakes falling on her fingertips again, Lan Xi put her thumb on them and pinched them gently, and a faint chill flashed by.
After getting in the car, Lan Xi received a message from Mr. Shi: Xixi, remember to come for dinner!
On the way, Grandpa!
Lan Xi replied to him.
The Shi family's old house was moved to the villa area in the north of the city five years ago. It was Mr. Shi who insisted on moving, and it took the Shi family a week to complete the move.
Old Master Lan was very angry about this at the time, and as a result, not long after Lan Xi went abroad three years ago, he also moved here, but the old Lan family house is still where Lan Ting lives now.
When passing the sentry box, the sentry was still asking Lan Xi if she was here to see Grandpa Lan. Lan Xi took a bottle of warm water from the insulated box in the car and handed it to him: "Let's go to Shi's house for dinner. Take this to warm your hands!"
Lan Xi knew five years ago that the current villa area was a compound built by the state for the meritorious soldiers in Hai City in order to protect these people.
"No, no, this is our mission. Miss Lan, you're too polite!" The sentry's face turned a little red from the cold, but he still waved his hand to refuse.
Lan Xi asked Zhu Lingling to place it on the registration table in front of him and said with a smile, "It's not something valuable. There are surveillance cameras. You can report it when the time comes. It's just a bottle of water!"
The sentry's face flushed at Lan Xi's smile. He shrugged and saluted, "Thank you, Miss Lan!"
As the car drove away from the office, Lan Xi's smile faded away: "These sentries should be reaching the end of their service life soon!"
Zhu Lingling recalled and nodded: "Almost two years!"
The Shi family's house is not far away. There are only twenty households living in this courtyard, and it only takes 5 minutes to drive there.
The housekeeper received the notification from the doorman in advance and stood there watching.
Two meters away from the Shi family's gate, Lan Xi asked Zhu Lingling to stop the car, open the door and get out. The snow was heavier than before, and white tips had begun to appear on the green plants at the gate.
Lan Xi quickened her pace and walked over, saying with a smile, "Uncle, why are you out? Don't catch a cold in the snow!"
The housekeeper smiled and opened the umbrella, holding it over Lan Xi's head: "Mr. couldn't help it after receiving the call, and urged me to come out to answer it. Miss Lan, long time no see!"
Lan Xi handed over the bag in her hand: "How is your old injury? Here is a little plaster, it will work wonders!"
The housekeeper was a little surprised and took it without any hesitation: "Thank you, Miss Lan!"
The two of them entered the gate and saw a shuttle bus parked inside. They got on the bus and watched it go away before Zhu Lingling drove into the gate and drove towards the garage.
"The plum blossoms in the back garden are in bloom. The old man said he would take you to see them later. I went to take a look at noon, and they were indeed in full bloom." The housekeeper put the umbrella aside and said to Lan Xi with a smile.
Lan Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Grandpa always comes up with something weird every year."
The housekeeper laughed out loud, rubbing the gift bag in his hand. "Haha, yes! It's different every year!"
The shuttle drove for 2 minutes and stopped at the door of a villa. Mr. Shi saw Lan Xi from a distance and hurried forward to greet her: "Xixi!"
Before the shuttle bus stopped, Lan Xi saw the old man running towards her like a child. She was so frightened that she immediately sat up straight.
It's snowing and the ground is not sure if it's slippery, but the old man dares to run like this!
The housekeeper laughed: "Look, he gets so excited every time you come!"
After opening the door, Lan Xi just got off the shuttle bus, and the old man reached out and patted her on the head: "You little girl, why don't you come back to see me, an old man!"
Lan Xi held the old man's arm and helped him walk inside: "It's not that you have too much to do, you want to come over after you finish!"
After saying this, his expression changed and he adopted a slightly lecturing tone: "How dare you run out when it's snowing so heavily? What if you slip and fall?"
The old man's expression changed, and he straightened up proudly:
"Think back to the war, when I was younger than you, the snow was really heavy! I carried my rifle without missing a step, so this little snow is nothing to me."
Lan Xi listened to the old man start talking about his past deeds again, and nodded with a smile:
"Yes, Grandpa, your physique is getting better and better. We younger generations are no match for you!"
The old man nodded in agreement. "Your current conditions are much better! Eh? Where's Lingling?"
Zhu Lingling was originally following behind him, but when she heard the old man mention her, she quickened her pace and walked over: "Old man, I'm here!"
