Chapter 710: This request? I'm a little scared!
Unwelcome request?!
This doesn't sound like a good word.

Chen Hui suddenly became serious, "Comrade Zijian, if you have something to say, just say it directly. There is no need to be so tactful."

"I heard that you and Comrade Wen Jing usually eat at her mother's house?"

Wang Zijian didn't talk about the business, but asked instead.

"Did you hear what Captain Wang's family said?"

"Yes, I usually eat at my mother-in-law's house, which is this house."

Seeing that he was beating around the bush, Chen Hui simply stopped asking.

Following Wang Zijian's words, he pointed at the house and said.

"Oh, that's great!"

"It's better to marry someone who lives close to you, so you can take care of each other."

Wang Zijian complimented with a smile.

Seeing that Chen Hui didn't respond, he smiled and said, "On Wednesday at noon, can you and Comrade Wen Jing come back here to have lunch?"

Chen Hui quickly interpreted Wang Zijian's words:
"You mean, after preparing lunch that day, my wife and I left. Am I right in understanding that?"

Wang Zijian smiled awkwardly and nodded.

"County Magistrate Xu, what is he going to do?"

"I don't mean to pry into the county magistrate's personal affairs. I am a good citizen who abides by the law."

Chen Hui was cautious.

Don’t let your home become an underground meeting place tomorrow and cause yourself trouble.

"of course!"

Wang Zijian understood the hidden meaning behind Chen Hui's words.

He explained righteously:

"You are a good citizen who abides by the law! The county magistrate is also a good leader who works hard for the people!"

"It's just a dinner with some old friends. It's inevitable that we'll talk about old things, which may involve other people's privacy. I just don't want outsiders to be around."

"Is that it?" Chen Hui asked while observing Wang Zijian.

"That's it!" Wang Zijian nodded affirmatively.

Chen Hui saw that he was very determined and did not seem to feel guilty at all.

Feeling a little relieved, "Hey, then why are you so embarrassed?"

"It's your home after all, not a hotel."

"It's a bit rude to ask the host to leave after cooking."

Wang Zijian didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He didn't expect that this would make Chen Hui think too much.

Chen Hui also laughed.

"Comrade Zijian, you need to be thick-skinned. You should explain the reason for this request clearly. Just say it directly and openly. It's not like you won't pay me!"

After all, I'm not familiar with the county magistrate.

Chen Hui was eager to make money and leave without any extra social engagements.

"Don't worry, we are all civilized people."

"Eating is eating, I won't walk around in your house."

Wang Zijian was afraid that Chen Hui would be worried, so he spoke first.

"Got it! I'll arrange it next Wednesday at noon." Chen Hui said.

"Row!"

"You probably have a lot of things to do today, so go ahead and do your work. I won't bother you."

Wang Zijian stood up, said goodbye, and pushed his bicycle away.

"Brother Chen Hui, what's the matter?" An Wenjing asked curiously, standing at the door of the store.

"Nothing, just booking a table for dinner."

Chen Hui answered casually, seeing that Li Da and the others were still busy.

He trotted over and asked, "Master Li, is Captain Wang in your village today?"

"No, I heard that he is going to the county town today to check the foundation of the teaching building."

Li Da stopped what he was doing and said.

"Got it!" Chen Hui nodded.

Wu Si saw Chen Hui coming over and immediately ran over to ask, "Why is it taking you so long to see a guest off? Hurry up! We've been waiting for you for a long time."

"I'm going to do something urgent. Please wait for me."

"One hour, at most one hour and I'll be back!"

Chen Hui said this and looked around.

From one end of the bridge to the other, it was filled with pots and stoves used by Li Da and his men.

The bowls and plates collected from the table were also placed in baskets.

There are also tables, chairs and benches that have not been returned to people after the meal.

Chen Hui gave up the idea of ​​riding his motorcycle home, went into Chen Kaiming's house, and handed the house key to Chen Huihong.

I rode a bike to He Juanjuan's house.

"Hey? Why are you here? I've never heard of people giving gifts in return for a housewarming party."

He Juanjuan had just returned home and was surprised to see Chen Hui.

"Sister Juanjuan, it's good for you to be at home."

"Is Brother-in-law Wang here? I want to have a cup of tea with him."

As Chen Hui spoke, he locked his bicycle with a chain lock.

"Yes, I had lunch and rested upstairs. It's almost time to get up now."

He Juanjuan asked the nanny to go upstairs to call Wang Kunhua.

Walk out of the yard and open the door for Chen Hui.

Seeing that he came empty-handed, he was neither here to deliver wild fruits nor to sell fish.

Puzzled, he asked, "Stop talking nonsense. Tell me what's going on. Is it about the road construction in the village?"

"I really came here for tea today!"

"I see Master He in the village every day, but I haven't seen Brother-in-law Wang very often." Chen Hui said with a laugh.

"fine."

He Juanjuan didn't ask any more questions.

After inviting Chen Hui into the house and making three cups of tea, Wang Kunhua changed his clothes and came down from upstairs.

Chen Hui first asked about the telephone line installation at home.

Taking this as the topic, we naturally talked about County Mayor Xu.

From He Juanjuan and Wang Kunhua's accounts and comments about some of his past events, I got a general understanding of this person.

"You didn't come to see me today. You came to see the county magistrate."

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"He is a big county magistrate. He will not cause trouble for a small fisherman like you, right?" Wang Kunhua asked.

Things have come to this point, and Chen Hui told what happened just now when Wang Zijian came over.

"Then I am more inclined to believe that they are indeed a private gathering."

"The only place you can go to in the county is the state-owned restaurant. There are so many people coming and going there. Who wouldn't know him if he went there?"

"When you meet acquaintances at a restaurant, you have to socialize with them."

He Juanjuan analyzed carefully.

"I think so too."

Wang Kunhua nodded in agreement and teased Chen Hui: "How can you be so cautious when you are just a young man?"

"Every failure makes you wiser, especially in the 1980s."

Chen Hui muttered to himself.

He just smiled and said, "He's the county magistrate. I'm just a small villager and I get nervous just thinking about it."

"Don't be nervous, just follow your own habits."

"County Magistrate Xu is a nice guy. He usually likes to eat and drink."

"Sometimes we want to use something to get close to someone, but we may not be able to deliver it."

Wang Kunhua said this and glanced at the clock on the wall.

He quickly stood up and said, "I won't say any more to you. I promised the principal that I would go to school this afternoon."

"Then I'll go back too. I promised Sister Juanjuan that I would pick wild fruits for her in the afternoon."

Chen Hui also stood up and said.

"That sounds nice, but you clearly promised Huang Shuqing, and I just did it by the way."

He Juanjuan chatted and laughed as she saw Chen Hui out.

After understanding the matter clearly, Chen Hui felt relieved.

When I rode my bike back to the village, the bridge was empty and the bridge surface was very clean.

It's done already?! So fast?

Chen Hui found Chen Kaiming's home.

Chen Xiaoqiao, Huang Miao and Wu Si were drinking tea and playing cards in the yard.
