Chapter 121 This is too expensive
"Mom, show us your best skills and cook some good dishes."
"Alright, alright. Old Wang's daughter is now your sister, so we're family. Don't worry, I'll definitely treat her well."
Thinking that Wang Xiaodan grew up in the north and might prefer noodles to rice, Zhang Guifen went downstairs to get help and called over Wu Maocai's wife, Qin Hongmei.
Qin Hongmei is great at making noodles, so I asked her to help me make steamed buns. They're made fresh and steamed right away, which makes them taste better.
The car arrived at the entrance of the residential area.
Wang Xiaodan signaled the driver to stop the car so he could buy some gifts or something.
"No need, they'll be happy as long as you're here," David advised.
"No, that won't do. This is my first time visiting your home. We're practically related by marriage now, so I have to show my appreciation."
When the words "marriage" were mentioned, Wang Xiaodan blushed, as if her choice of words was inappropriate.
"Recognize relatives, recognize relatives," she corrected.
Anyway, it means visiting as if you were a relative.
David scratched his head and chuckled sheepishly, "Okay, whatever my sister says goes."
The driver bought it according to the standard of 10,000.
There was a table, cigarettes, some fruit, and red envelopes.
Wang Xiaodan put three thousand yuan into each of the two red envelopes, saying they were for the elderly.
"Sis, this is too expensive."
"Oh, don't worry about it."
As the eldest daughter of the Wang family, her actions must be impressive; this is all minor.
If it weren't for considering Dawei's family's income situation and the fear that giving too much would put pressure on them, she would have started by giving each person 10,000 yuan.
Either don't give it, or give it properly.
We arrived at Dawei's house.
The steamed buns are freshly steamed.
Chen Shouren and Zhang Guifen had changed into brand-new clothes early and were waiting outside the door.
"Uncle, Auntie," Wang Xiaodan greeted them warmly, handing over a red envelope.
Chen Shouren, bewildered after receiving the envelope, asked, "Shouldn't we be giving you a red envelope?"
"I'm the junior, it's my turn to give," Wang Xiaodan said with a smile, glossing over the topic.
The driver put down the gift and voluntarily left the building.
Qin Hongmei was also quite perceptive: "Well, I'm steaming some vegetables downstairs, I'll go down first."
Dawei urged, "Let's eat together, sister-in-law."
"No need, no need, you guys chat."
Everyone sat down at home.
The elderly couple, Chen Shouren and his wife, grew to like Wang Xiaodan more and more the more they looked at her.
"Miss, I'll go with you to get your luggage from the hotel in a bit."
We're already home, there's no reason for us to ask you to stay in a hotel.
It's not like there's no room at home.
If you think we're too old, we'll go back to the countryside later.
This is for you and David.
Zhang Guifen held Xiao Dan's hand, smiling and talking nonstop.
Xiao Dan was quite embarrassed: "I was afraid of bothering you two, how could I ask you to go back to live in the countryside? Please don't."
"Then bring your luggage back. I've already aired out the blankets and stuff, and Dawei used the sheets; they're clean."
Zhang Guifen was thrilled that her daughter had moved in.
She's said to be in her late thirties, but she looks about the same age as Xie Liting and doesn't look her age.
The key is her attire and demeanor; she clearly comes from a well-to-do family.
Zhang Guifen didn't want to miss out on such a good opportunity.
Women understand women best.
She could tell that Wang Xiaodan's feelings for Dawei went beyond those of a god-sister or god-brother.
Chen Shouren, who looked honest but was actually cunning, added from the side, "Move in here."
That way we can take better care of you.
We can't see whether the food prepared in the hotel is clean or not, so it would be troublesome if we got sick from eating it.
Also, I've heard that bad guys install cameras in hotel rooms, so it's better to stay at home.
David is in Kyoto, so he's staying at your place.
You've come to Yuanshan County, how can I let you stay in a hotel?
Our family will feel terrible about it; we'll feel like we've let you down in some way.
Unable to refuse such kind words, Wang Xiaodan glanced shyly at Dawei.
Dawei earnestly said, "Sister, please move in with us. That way we can talk more at night."
Wang Xiaodan tossed her hair and nodded slightly, "Well, okay then..."
After dinner, Zhang Guifen and Dawei followed Wang Xiaodan to the Guohao Hotel to retrieve their luggage.
The two elderly people returned to their room on their own.
Dawei knocked on the door and went into Wang Xiaodan's room.
"Sister, I have to go back to the county government this afternoon."
My colleagues have been working overtime these past two days to rush out a project.
We have reached the final stage of the battle.
"After we finish working on the project tonight, I'll come back to be with you, okay?"
David sat at the desk in front of the bed and asked softly.
Wang Xiaodan sat barefoot against the headboard, her two big toes dangling up and down, hugging a pillow without looking at Dawei: "Okay. You go ahead and do your thing. I'll rest for a while and then go for a walk in the streets this afternoon."
"Okay, let's stay a few more days this time. I'll take a day off tomorrow and not go to work, so I can spend some quality time with you."
Wang Xiaodan immediately shook her head: "That won't do. I was afraid it would affect your work, that's why I didn't tell you. If you're going to do this, I'll leave tomorrow."
David scratched his head and chuckled, "Okay, then let's wait until the day after tomorrow. The day after tomorrow is the weekend."
"Okay... David, is something wrong?"
Even though her older brother had told her not to ask for help unless Dawei asked for it, she was still worried.
Xiao Dan recounted the incident of encountering a police checkpoint on the national highway.
David didn't dare to hide anything and explained the situation, but he didn't recount the fight itself, as it was too dangerous.
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaodan's expression changed drastically: "This is utterly lawless! Does Xu Aiguo know about this?"
"I don't know yet, and I don't plan to tell him."
Why?
David rested his hands on his lap and sighed softly.
"Didn't he put pressure on the police and ask them to investigate?"
He had no way to investigate the case.
Let the police investigate.
I don't want him to feel that I'm a nuisance or a burden.
When problems arise, we just solve them.
The fact that so many problems have emerged in the county recently shows that my rise to power has frightened some people.
Those people could no longer sit still.
I don't think they can keep this up for long.
Wang Xiaodan nodded worriedly, then turned her head to look at Dawei again: "Dr. Chu's skills are truly unparalleled; look, your gray hair is gone."
"That's right, he's a renowned doctor... Hey, how's my godfather doing?"
"Yeah, that's good, but he complains that you don't message him first, it makes you seem distant."
David smiled awkwardly: "I was afraid of bothering him; he's so busy."
"It's alright, you should contact him. If you don't, your brother will think he's done something wrong."
"Okay, I've got it."
Snapped!
David suddenly raised his hand and patted her knee.
"Ah!" Wang Xiaodan screamed.
The two old men in the other room looked embarrassed after hearing this. Zhang Guifen pushed Chen Shouren to bed and told him not to listen to nonsense.
Dawei opened his hand, revealing a dead mosquito inside. He wiped it away with a tissue, then used it to wipe Wang Xiaodan's snow-white thighs.
"That's how it is on lower floors; there are more mosquitoes."
Wang Xiaodan pulled her leg back, somewhat afraid of such physical contact.
It's not that I don't want to.
is afraid.
She's still a virgin.
In this area, he's not as mature as David.
