After Xu Zhixin discussed with Cheng Guozhong and others, she decided to take a day off tomorrow. In the morning, after Cheng Guozhong finished his work, she would go with Cheng Guozhong to see the house originally rented by the stone factory. In the afternoon, she would ask Cheng Guozhong to take her to the earthen kiln factory of Liang Jinxiu's mother's brigade to take a look and inquire about the price.
By the time Xu Zhixin and the others finished their discussion, it was already a few minutes past nine. People in the countryside go to bed early at this time, and nine o'clock was already very late, so everyone quickly dispersed, boiled water to wash their faces and feet, and went to bed.
When Xu Zhixin returned to her room and prepared to go to bed, she saw that Lu Pinjie had not come back yet.
Why hasn't Lu Pinjie come back yet? It's so late, she should be back by now.
Could something have happened? Did he encounter danger on the way back?
Xu Zhixin became a little worried. Just as she was thinking about going out to check, she heard a knock on the door.
"Open the door! Please open the door..."
It was Lu Pinjie's voice.
Xu Zhixin breathed a sigh of relief and put down her slightly anxious heart. Fortunately, the girl came back and she was fine.
"Coming! I'll open the door right away." Xu Zhixin opened her voice and responded loudly to Lu Pinjie outside the door, then immediately ran out to open the door.
"Pinjie, why did you come back at this time? It's already this late and you haven't come back yet. I'm a little worried about you, afraid that something might have happened to you." When Xu Zhixin saw Lu Pinjie outside the door, she immediately asked her why she came back so late.
"I'm sorry to have made you worry. I didn't want to come back so late, but the memorial service at the educated youth site didn't end until so late. No one else had left yet, so I couldn't leave first. I had to wait until the memorial service was over and everyone had left before I left."
There was a trace of apology on Lu Pinjie's face. For some reason, his eyes flickered a little, as if he felt a little guilty.
Xu Zhixin noticed something strange in her eyes and a hint of suspicion arose in her heart.
Did she lie?
Want to ask? Never mind.
Xu Zhixin shook her head in her heart. It wasn't a big deal. If she was hiding something or lying, just tell her. There was no need to get to the bottom of it. It would be annoying.
After Lu Pinjie entered the room, Xu Zhixin said, "I have washed my face and feet and am getting ready for bed. You should also go wash your face and feet. It is getting late."
“……” Lu Pinjie seemed to have something to say, but hesitated and finally nodded.
Xu Zhixin saw that she was hesitant to speak, and after her eyes flickered, she said, "Do you have anything to say? If you have something to say, just say it."
"...I do have something to say. I'll talk to you after I wash my face and feet and return to the room." Lu Pinjie hesitated slightly and spoke.
"Okay, I'll go back to my room and wait for you." Xu Zhixin waved to Lu Pinjie and went back to her room.
Xu Zhixin went back to the room and waited for five minutes, and Lu Pinjie finished washing and came into the room.
"Okay, if you have something to say, say it now." There was a hint of curiosity on Xu Zhixin's face.
"Um... have you talked to the team leader about building a house?" Lu Pinjie bit her lip.
Hearing this, Xu Zhixin was smart enough to immediately realize that what Lu Pinjie was going to say was related to building a house.
But it was just about building a house, why did she do this? She seemed to find it difficult to speak.
"I said that the team leader agreed, and he also calculated how much money it would cost to build the house according to my requirements. We have discussed everything. I have already given the team leader 180 yuan, 170 yuan for building the house, and the remaining 10 yuan is for his hard work." Xu Zhixin replied to Lu Pinjie, paying attention to Lu Pinjie's expression.
"...You have already given the money to the team leader...but I...I'm sorry, I can't build the house with you." Lu Pinjie frowned, his eyes flickered violently, and after biting his lip, he bowed his head to apologize to Xu Zhixin.
