Because it was her first time visiting someone, Xu Nanxing was quite nervous. Fortunately, the Xie Wentian family treated her very warmly.
The two people that Mr. Kong entrusted were both retired from the army and returned to their hometowns in the past two or three years.
Most soldiers who retire from the army generally choose to transfer to the public security bureau, or the security departments of government departments and state-owned factories.
Of course, there are other positions available, but in this era when even temporary positions are so popular, they are generally difficult to arrange.
Xu Nanxing went to the countryside in Gaojia Commune, where there were many demobilized soldiers from the army in the same province.
Some of Mr. Kong’s subordinates in the army have transferred to work here.
The old man contacted the other party before giving Xu Nanxing the name and address.
Xie Wentian’s wife Zhang Zhilan was very enthusiastic towards Xu Nanxing who came to her house for the first time.
Perhaps it was because of Mr. Kong, or perhaps it was because of the gift Xu Nanxing gave her, she guessed that her family was not simple either. In short, Zhang Zhilan valued the relationship with Xu Nanxing very much.
He also tried his best to keep her at home for lunch, and Xie Wentian cooked it himself. Because Xu Nanxing came early, lunch was served in advance.
After the meal, Xu Nanxing and the Xie family got along very happily!
After dinner, Xu Nanxing went to visit the second house.
The addresses of these two families are both in the Public Security Bureau’s staff housing building, but not in the same building.
The second person to be visited is named Yang Shilong, who transferred to the Public Security Bureau three years ago.
The person who opened the door was a young woman in her twenties. When she saw that the person knocking was a teenage girl, she only opened the door halfway and asked with a wary look, "Who are you looking for?"
No, this feels like the plot of a spy drama to you?
What the hell are you alert for?
Xu Nanxing felt a little unhappy, but he didn't show it. He just asked, "Excuse me, is this Yang Shilong's house?"
"This is Yang Shilong's house, but who are you? What do you want from him?"
This interrogative tone...
She only knew that Yang Shilong was from the Public Security Bureau. Was her wife also from the Public Security Bureau?
Xu Nanxing was very unhappy.
Everyone who comes is a guest. Don’t you understand this principle?
They didn’t even let me in, they just made me stand at the door and started interrogating me!
She really broadened her horizons!
However, this trip was instructed by Mr. Kong, and she might indeed need his help in the future.
I can bear it!
Xu Nanxing adjusted his attitude and patiently replied, "My name is Xu Nanxing, and I'm working in a nearby village. It was Mr. Kong from the Shen City Military District who asked me to visit Yang Shilong. I should have contacted him before."
The other person rolled his eyes when he heard this: "Tsk, so you're the one the Kong family asked us to take care of! But why are you here at dinner time? You've only been in the countryside for a few days, and you've already picked up the country folk's habits! You really don't know any etiquette at all!"
Before Xu Nanxing could react, another voice rang out from inside the room: "Who's at the door? Why are you here at this hour?"
Well, this is her problem in the end!
You can’t visit someone’s house during meal time!
Xu Nanxing even began to doubt himself!
For the first time, she realized that this was an important rule!
But she's not here to ask for money!
Did she show that she was here to beg for food?
Wang Xiuzhen heard her mother-in-law asking, and fearing they might think it was someone from her family asking for money, she quickly replied, "They're here to see Shilong! They say Grandpa Kong asked Shilong to look after the educated youth who came here to work in the countryside."
There was silence in the room for a moment.
Xu Nanxing didn't want to continue visiting Yang Shilong. This family was not polite to guests at all.
If something happens to you in the future, won’t you be turned away?
When Xu Nanxing was about to say goodbye, the door suddenly opened and a man about 30 years old walked out.
The man who came was tall and thin, and walked like a soldier. This should be Yang Shilong.
The other party looked Xu Nanxing up and down and said, "You are Xu Nanxing! Mr. Kong called me before. You are in the countryside here. If you have any problems, you can come to the bureau to find me!"
No matter what, Yang Shilong politely told her that she could ask him for help if she had any problems.
This is a promise!
Although the other family members' words were not very pleasant, Xu Nanxing, as an outsider, did not want to say anything.
Anyway, I won’t have to deal with them in the future.
Xu Nanxing nodded politely: "Thank you very much! This is my first visit, so I brought some local specialties. Please accept them."
As he said this, he pretended to take out 6 eggs from his backpack, but actually he took out 6 eggs from the space.
Is this a real local specialty!
Originally, she had prepared the same gift for the Xie family.
Also pickled fish, canned food, brown sugar, cigarettes, etc.
But now, all of that is saved.
Just give a few eggs as a token of your appreciation!
After handing the egg to the other party, Xu Nanxing turned around and left without even entering the door!
Wang Xiuzhen thought the other party was here to ask for money. It was dinner time, so it was perfectly legitimate for him to come and have a meal.
I didn't expect that he would leave after delivering the eggs.
It turns out that he really wasn’t here to eat for free!
But getting a few eggs for free is not bad either!
Wang Xiuzhen's joy didn't last long, as her mother-in-law took the eggs away.
"This is a gift for Shilong. He should eat it all! Stop worrying about it!"
Wang Xiuzhen grumbled unhappily, "There are so many eggs, what's wrong with me eating one?"
Yang Shilong felt very annoyed when he saw the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law arguing over a few eggs.
