C110 Finally back

Looking at this overgrown place, no one would have thought that there were still people living inside, and also high ranking officials living inside. The courtyard was surrounded by a kind of ordinary fence, and the empty area in front of the house was filled with grass, which was similar to the small courtyard Li Wenlong had seen in the house of the head of the troop. The empty area behind the courtyard should be used for growing flowers and vegetables, but now it had actually become grass.

As she got off the car, Lin Xuemei did not bring up her luggage, she was even suspecting that this courtyard belonged to her family, as far as she could remember, her grandfather always tidied the courtyard up, and although he was once a high official of a lower realm, tidying the courtyard up, raising flowers and vegetables, these were things that he had always done personally. After his grandparents died, his father would also find time to clean up, but when Lin Xuemei was still in the capital, there had never been such a large amount of grass growing in the courtyard.

Pushing open the rusted iron fencing door, Lin Xuemei slowly walked along the bluestone paved road, leading here to the quiet house in the middle of the courtyard.

Li Wenlong stood next to the car. From the looks of it, the courtyard should be the foundation of five houses, but the width of the north to south of the house was more than twice as wide as her own house, which meant that it could be counted as the base of ten houses. The style of the houses inside should be similar to that of Old Head's house, with at least four bedrooms for such a big house.

With that thought in mind, Li Wenlong had already walked in front of the door. Just as she raised her hand to knock, the door opened by itself, revealing an old yet still handsome face.

Li Wenlong was startled. She had seen this face before, last time she saved her godmother, and this person had gone there with Xiao Yuanshan. No wonder she looked very similar to Lin Xuemei back then, and had this layer of relationship with him.

Looking at the person in front of him in a daze, Lin Xuemei panicked to the point of being at a loss of what to do.

Hearing her call him daddy, Li Wenlong felt goosebumps all over his body: Is it really that difficult to call me daddy? It was as if he was holding a sword, a spear, a halberd, and being forced into a corner.

Li Wenlong had the same feeling, but this wasn't true for Lin Wanjiang. After hearing the word "father", he seemed to have heard the music of the heavens, and this "father" seemed to have come from a faraway place, as if it was all an illusion. However, the scene in front of his eyes told him that all of this was real.

"Xuemei, come in quickly!" Lin Wanjiang moved to the side and let Lin Xuemei in.

"Wen Long, take down your luggage." Lin Xuemei wiped away the tears in her eyes and shouted to Li Wenlong who was standing outside the fence.

"Oh ~" Li Wenlong quickly took Lin Xuemei's luggage and walked inside.

"Take yours off too!" Seeing Li Wenlong holding onto her own box, Lin Xuemei added.

Was he going to live here too?

Stunned, Li Wenlong obediently took down her case, which made Lin Wanjiang feel a bit uncomfortable: How can a driver live in his own home?

However, he was a high official after all, so he would not be happy. Not only did he not reveal an angry expression, he had a smile plastered on his face. "Xiao Li, Li Wenlong, right? Come in quickly!"

"Hello" Li Wenlong stepped forward to greet him, and with a briefcase in each hand, he followed Lin Xuemei into the house.

Entering the house, Li Wenlong frowned, the house had a musty smell, it was as if no one had lived here in a few hundred years, Lin Xuemei smacked her nose non-stop, and quickly walked to the window and opened it.

"You guys sit down, I'll go boil some water!" At this moment, Lin Wanjiang didn't look like a high ranking official at all.

"I'll go!" Back then, when he was with the leader in the army, he had done this kind of thing too many times. He temporarily placed the luggage into a corner and then quickly found the location of the kitchen, but fortunately, the water and water was still running. After washing the kettle a few times, he filled the kettle with water and plugged in the electricity.

Returning back to the car and bringing out a bucket and a cloth, Li Wenlong began to slowly clean the pile of dust from the living room that had accumulated for who knows how many years.

was busy, but Lin Xuemei did not want to stay idle. Although Li Wenlong said time and time again that she was not required to do anything, Lin Xuemei quickly changed into a new set of clothes and rolled up her sleeves.

Being an official, Lin Wanjiang was an expert in tidying up the household. Lin Wanjiang truly knew his limits, and normally, it was fortunate that he had a secretary to take care of him (because of him, he would just live in the unit's dormitory). Otherwise, he really wouldn't know how to meet people.

Since he could not help, Lin Wanjiang could only help out, pouring some water for himself. It was just this, that accidentally caused his entire body to hurt.

"Uncle Lin, you should go out to take a walk first. When you return, we would be more or less done with it." Li Wenlong had no choice but to drive Lin Wanjiang away with good intentions.

Taking out the hard work he put in in the army that year, Li Wenlong quickly tidied up the entire room, changed the curtains and sheets, and put them into the washing machine. Only then did he let out a long breath.

"Sorry to trouble you," Lin Xuemei heartbroken took a towel and helped Li Wenlong wipe the sweat off her forehead. This scene was coincidentally witnessed by Lin Wanjiang, who had just entered the room earlier.

"Cough cough cough", Lin Wanjiang deliberately coughed a few times before finally carrying a plastic bag into the living room. Inside the bag was a few fruits he had bought not too far away from the market, he seemed to recall doing this kind of work for a long time, and just as he was secretly proud that he had not degenerated to the point where he did not know anything, he just happened to see his daughter wiping the driver's sweat with a towel. In Lin Wanjiang's life dictionary, this was absolutely not allowed, how could a girl do this? Even if the other party wasn't your driver, you still had to avoid suspicion!

Thinking about it this way, Lin Wanjiang's expression became a little ugly. "Xuemei, go wash these fruits!"

"I'll go!" Li Wenlong saw the unhappiness in Lin Wanjiang's eyes, and quickly took out the thing in his hands.

"No need, you sit down, I have something to say to you." Lin Wanjiang heavily snorted, then forcefully stuffed the fruit in his hand into Lin Xuemei's hands.

Lin Xuemei opened her mouth wanting to say something, but Li Wenlong stealthily reached out her hand to stop her, using her eyes to signal Lin Xuemei: "It's okay, I know what to do."

Sighing helplessly, Lin Xuemei carried the fruit into the kitchen.

"What is the graduation status of the Xiao Li?" Lin Wanjiang pointed at the sofa in front of him and sat down without thinking. Then, he picked up a cigarette from the tea table and stuffed it into his mouth.

"I graduated from high school and was an undergraduate, I stayed in the army for a few years," Li Wenlong said neither humbly nor arrogantly as he raised his lighter and placed it near Lin Wanjiang's mouth.

Lin Wanjiang moved the cigarette to the side and waved it off, as if he was talking to himself. "Xuemei seems to be a graduate student, right?"

Li Wenlong was obviously startled, and of course it was not because of what Lin Wanjiang said, but his actions. He actually did not let her light the cigarette for him, could it be that she was looking down on him?

Thinking about it this way, Li Wenlong's anger rose: Who cares about you? Holding onto the fire, I threw the lighter onto the tea table.

A strange smile flowed out of the corner of Lin Wanjiang's mouth: In the end, my patience is still lacking a little.

"The doctor said that he won't let me smoke, I just want to stay in my mouth for a long time," Lin Wanjiang leisurely brought the cigarette to his nose and sniffed a few times. "I'm old now, and useless now."

Li Wenlong did not continue, but understood the meaning behind Lin Wanjiang's words. He had always been like this, never expressing her opinion when she was unsure.

"Right, what kind of people are in your family?" Lin Wanjiang's tone changed as he started to investigate Li Wenlong's eighteen generations of ancestors.

"There are parents at home, my brother is at school, my grandfather is dead, my grandmother is in good health, and two uncles, one is working at home as a farmer, the other is an ordinary worker, my parents are both farmers, my father is working outside all year round …" Li Wenlong began to pour the beans carefully.

In regards to this question, Li Wenlong was not unfamiliar with it. Back then, when she was with the Old Head, the leader had liked to ask him a few things whenever she had something to do. Although every time she replied to Li Wenlong, the leader would add, "Oh, I think I have already asked him," but the next time, the leader would ask him whatever questions he wanted to ask.

Li Wenlong obviously knew that Lin Wanjiang's question was very different from Old Head's, but she still answered his question with the same tone. Only, in the end, she added another sentence.

"Hehe." Lin Wanjiang laughed at Li Wenlong's last sentence, "The poor, not the poor, are not the most important. The most important thing is character."

"Regarding the issue of character, I don't know how to report it to you. I only know that I have been in the army for five years, and have stayed by Division Head's side for four years." Li Wenlong said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

"You were a soldier?" Lin Wanjiang raised his eyebrows, as if he was filled with interest.

"After being the leader for five years, the chief wanted me to stay behind, but my family called me back. Because uncle is about to retire, my family members mean that they want me to work properly before uncle retires, so I will be going back." Li Wenlong felt that there was nothing he could hide from him.

"Mn, you're more honest," Lin Wanjiang's words almost made Li Wenlong faint.

"Oh right, I'm already married" Li Wenlong decided to return the favor and said something that shocked Lin Wanjiang.
