afternoon.
The office is off duty.
Dong Xuebin in the office looked at his watch, then took his luggage and went downstairs.
For one afternoon, the phone did not ring again, the knock on the door did not come again, and even people from the county government did not dare to enter Dong Xuebin's door again. They probably thought that Dong Xuebin had a bad temper after getting angry, and they did not dare to come in. Don't bother him at this time. Dong Xuebin was a little depressed even though he was quiet. Later, when he needed some materials, Dong Xuebin had to call someone to deliver them to him. He remembered clearly that the female clerk who sent the materials came in and spoke. She was very careful in her movements. A girl who usually had a loud voice now sounded like a mosquito. She kept observing Dong Xuebin with small eyes, which made Dong Xuebin want to laugh and thought to herself, I am not angry with you.
It's time to go home.
You still have to rely on County Magistrate Jiang’s craftsmanship.
However, it was obviously impossible for Dong Xuebin to go back with Jiang Fangfang. He had to avoid suspicion. Moreover, County Magistrate Jiang was busy with work and usually did not get off work on time. He didn’t know when he would go back, so Dong Xuebin left first. Carrying his luggage, he walked to the front of the Land Rover.
"County Magistrate Dong."
"Hey, Secretary Li?"
"Are you going back to the hospital? Let me carry your luggage."
"No, I'm almost fine. Why haven't I seen you today?"
"Oh, County Magistrate Jiang asked me to go down and investigate the situation in some towns. I just came back."
The person who came was none other than Li Xiaona, the secretary of the county magistrate. She was a very refreshing girl at first, but now she was in a mess. There seemed to be some dirt on her body, and the leather shoes on her feet were also full of mud. There were fragments of leaves hidden in the mud, and Dong Xuebin couldn't help but laugh when he saw it.
Li Xiaona shook her clothes and said, "Don't laugh at me."
Dong Xuebin quickly said: "No, some of the roads in the towns and villages down there are not clear and difficult to walk. It's normal. Well, are you going home?"
Li Xiaona said yes. "County Magistrate Jiang asked me to go back and rest."
"Don't you have a car?"
"Haha, there is a car."
"Huh? What car?"
"Bicycle, I'll ride back."
Dong Xuebin saw that she kept rubbing her arms and legs, and knew that she was exhausted this time, so he said: "Come on, let me take you back."
Li Xiaona hurriedly waved her hands. "That's so embarrassing."
Dong Xuebin greeted: "Get in the car and go back to the same place. It's just a matter of convenience."
Li Xiaona hesitated. "Well, then I won't be polite to you? I can't even lift my legs. If I ride a bike, I really don't know if I can ride back."
Dong Xuebin opened the back seat and moved his luggage.
Li Xiaona saw it and helped him move it together.
Then the two got into the car, with Dong Xuebin driving and Li Xiaona sitting in the passenger seat.
As soon as the car drove away, Li Xiaona looked at him. "I heard that you got angry with those people who asked for money today?"
Dong Xuebin hummed, "He called me endlessly. He even came to my office to block me and glared at me. I think County Magistrate Jiang was annoyed too. He just turned against them. These people, why don't you scold him?" Suddenly he didn’t know the importance of it. How great is this? No one is here, right?"
Li Xiaona smiled bitterly, "No one came. When I was doing research in the villages and towns in the afternoon, I was still wondering why no one suddenly called me to tell me about the funding. I didn't know what was going on until I came back."
Dong Xuebin said: "I can be quiet for a few days."
Li Xiaona said: "Yes, it was really difficult before."
County Party Committee Family Court.
The car went in and parked downstairs.
Li Xiaona unbuckled her seat belt and said, "Thank you, I'll go back."
"By the way, wait a moment." Dong Xuebin remembered something, turned around and grabbed the suitcase from the back seat, opened it, and took out a box from inside.
Li Xiaona blinked, "What are you doing?"
Dong Xuebin smiled and handed it to her, "I went back to the capital, and I didn't bring anything with me. Just a few gadgets. Take it. I don't know if you like it."
Li Xiaona hurriedly said: "No, no, no."
Dong Xuebin said to her, "Take it quickly, I bought it all."
Li Xiaona quickly lowered her head and glanced at the box, and said speechlessly: "This is not a gadget, Chanel perfume? This is precious."
Dong Xuebin said: "Not much money."
Li Xiaona was very embarrassed, "You are the leader, why do you have to spend so much money?"
Dong Xuebin said with a smile: "I'll give it to you anyway. You go back and try to see if you like the taste. I don't care what you do with it. Okay, come back."
"This is the latest model, how could you not like it?" Li Xiaona smiled bitterly and pushed it again, but seeing Dong Xuebin's attitude, she finally accepted it, "Then... thank you."
"You're welcome."
"How about you come to my house and I'll treat you to dinner."
"Haha, no need, it's just a little thing."
"It's a gadget to you, but it's not small to me. I can't even buy a bottle of this perfume with one month's salary." After a pause, Li Xiaona said: "My parents are here at home, can you come up and sit down?" She was afraid County Magistrate Dong was worried about the inconvenience, so he checked if there was someone at home.
Dong Xuebin said: "Let's wait for another day, I still have something to do."
Li Xiaona said: "That's okay, you are busy with your work, I will invite you another day."
Helping Dong Xuebin pull his luggage to the door of the corridor, Li Xiaona originally wanted to send him up. After all, the suitcase was not light, but Dong Xuebin didn't let him go and took it up himself. Li Xiaona stopped being pretentious at first sight and turned around to go to the door of her unit. Seeing that there was no one in the corridor, Li Xiaona couldn't wait to open the package, dipped a little perfume on her wrist, sniffed it gently, and then exposed With a fond expression on her face, she put away the perfume and went upstairs. Her impression of Dong Xuebin became better and better. County Magistrate Dong is so generous. This bottle of new Chanel is estimated to cost thousands or even tens of thousands. If Li Xiaona herself , but she couldn't afford it.

upstairs.
Dong Xuebin dormitory.
He opened the door with the key and went in. The moment the door opened, a humid smell hit his face, making Dong Xuebin cover his nose subconsciously. He hadn't been back for a month, so the smell was not surprising. He looked towards the living room. There is a layer of dust on the tables, chairs and furniture. Although the windows are closed, the wind and sand here are more serious, and so much soil has accumulated in just a month.
Clean it up.
I still have to sleep at night.
Dong Xuebin threw down his suitcase and started mopping the floor. However, he was tired after all. After just two wipes, Dong Xuebin sat on the sofa and was too lazy to move. After smoking a cigarette, Dong Xuebin decided to do it again at night. First, open the suitcase, take out everything inside and throw it on the coffee table. Put away the clothes that need to be put away, put the cigarettes that need to be smoked in the drawer, and take out the gifts that need to be given. He brought a lot of things when he came back this time, including shoes, perfume, clothes, cosmetics, and even first-line brand women's underwear. That was for Xu Yan. I guess Sister Xu will come to take up the post in a few days. She made it with her own hands. After making clothes for himself, Dong Xuebin also wanted to return the gift.
Ding dong, ding dong.
The doorbell rang suddenly.
Dong Xuebin was packing his things. He raised his head suspiciously when he heard the sound, walked over and opened the door. When he saw the person, he was slightly startled.
"County Magistrate Jiang?"
"Well, are you the only one in the family?"
"Yeah, I'm the only one. Well, I thought you were getting off work late, and I said I'd meet you upstairs later. I haven't cleaned up the house yet..."
"It's okay, let's go in and talk."
"It's too dirty. How about going to your house?"
"Don't be afraid, I'll help you clean it up if it gets dirty."
"Oh, how can that be done? I have to trouble you every time. It's really not possible."
"We've bought all the food. Let me go in first. We'll talk about it after we get in."
"Okay, okay, please come in. There's no need to change your shoes. Just give me your things."
Dong Xuebin let Jiang Fangfang into the house, closed the door gently with his backhand, took the bag of vegetables and entered the kitchen, placing the vegetables on the chopping board.
After coming out, Jiang Fangfang was already sitting on the sofa. She casually picked up the mineral water bottle on the table, poured herself a glass of water, and drank it.
"Yo, that's cold."
"It doesn't matter, just drink the same."
"No, no, I'm going to make something hot."
Dong Xuebin went to the kitchen to light a fire and boil water, and after a long chat, he finally used the hot water to make a cup of tea for County Magistrate Jiang. Seeing that the sofa was a little dirty, he patted the soil embarrassedly, "There is a lot of dust here. It’s only been a month and the house has changed. Sister Jiang, why don’t you put something on the table? Your clothes will get dirty.”
Jiang Fangfang said calmly: "No, it's not that particular."
She must have returned home, and the clothes she wore at this time were no longer the ones from her workplace. It was a bit cold at night. County Magistrate Jiang wore a pair of homely light gray tights, a slightly loose women's white shirt on her upper body, black high heels and black stockings that exposed her feet. She looked extremely beautiful.
Drinking tea and chatting, the two talked for a while.
Not long after, Jiang Fangfang asked him, "Are you hungry?"
Dong Xuebin looked at his watch. It was just past six o'clock. "General, are you hungry?"
"I'm not hungry either." Jiang Fangfang glanced around at the dirty and dusty living room, then stood up slightly and said with a slight smile: "It looks dirty, but it's still idle. I'll clean up the house for you."
Dong Xuebin said anxiously: "Goodbye, I'll clean it up myself at night!"
Jiang Fangfang didn't listen. She went to the kitchen and picked up a clean rag and dipped it in water. "You are a grown man. You are not as considerate as a woman. No one has lived in the house for so long. You have to clean it up. Otherwise, you can't live in it." It’s awkward, well, leave it to me.”
"You are asking me to sit on the wax." Dong Xuebin smiled bitterly.
Jiang Fangfang came out with a rag, "What's the point of sitting on wax?"
Dong Xuebin said: "I let you take care of me every time, I..."
Jiang Fangfang looked at him, reached out and touched the TV cabinet, then wiped it, "Then let's do it together? You sweep and mop the floor."
Dong Xuebin tried to persuade County Magistrate Jiang for a long time but refused to listen. He had no choice but to pick up the broom and sweep the floor and help her tidy up the house. Alas, I just washed my clothes and cooked for myself that time, and now I am helping myself with housework. Dong Xuebin is so embarrassed, so don’t mention it.
