The miserable heroine of the sad novel of the period was penetrated

A clear male voice broke the awkwardness between the two.

Xia Songlan looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tall, handsome young man standing at the gate of the courtyard.

He looked to be in his early 20s, with clear eyes, looking at her curiously.

Liu Qingqing rolled her eyes and glared at the man, saying coquettishly, "You are the only one who is well-informed."

As he spoke, he slowly walked towards the man, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and stood on tiptoe to wipe the almost non-existent sweat from his forehead.

The man obviously admired Liu Qingqing. When he saw her wiping the sweat off his face, he deliberately lowered his body and moved closer to her.

Liu Qingqing pouted because of his action and stuffed the handkerchief into the man's hand, "Okay, okay, wipe it yourself. I'm helping you wipe the sweat off your face."

Although he mumbled, his actions were intimate.

The man was extremely happy and cheerful, and his teeth were particularly white.

At this time, Liu Qingqing seemed to remember Xia Songlan, and turned to introduce, "Songlan, this is my neighbor's younger brother, Bai Lei. I usually call him Little Stone.

His grandfather was the old Party secretary of our village, and his father is a leader in the town."

At the end, his tone was filled with pride.

Xia Songlan smiled generously and greeted Bai Lei, "Hello, Comrade Bai, my last name is Xia."

She could see the subtle atmosphere between Liu Qingqing and Bai Lei, and could also feel Liu Qingqing's fragile heart.

He was afraid that if he said too much, it would cause Liu Qingqing to misunderstand him, so he didn't even introduce his name and only said his last name.

Bai Lei quickly put Liu Qingqing's handkerchief into his pocket and scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "Hello, hello, Comrade Xia, welcome to our Baijia Village.

I saw you just now when your expert group was inspecting the field. I really admire you for being an expert at such a young age. "

Liu Qingqing frowned and nudged Bai Lei with her elbow, "Silly boy, Song Lan is not an expert. She came here with my uncle. She is my uncle's granddaughter."

Bai Lei simply nodded and said, "Oh oh..."

Xia Songlan stood by and did not comment.

Just at this moment, Zhang Beichen strolled outside and walked in. "Why is Songlan standing outside? Isn't it cold?"

The temperature in An County, located in the southern part of the city, is more than 10 degrees higher than that in Beijing, but you can still feel the coolness when standing outdoors.

Xia Songlan wore a pink tweed coat, which made her look like a blooming pink plum blossom, pretty and charming.

But woolen clothes are not as warm as cotton clothes, and she didn't wear gloves, so she did feel a little cold.

He rubbed his hands and said, "It's okay. The wind here is relatively gentle."

Zhang Beichen shook his head in disapproval, took off his gloves and handed them over, "Why didn't you tell me to wear gloves? It would be terrible if you get frostbite, so you better put them on."

Since Liu Qingqing followed Zhang Beichen into the yard, her eyes have never left him, and she subconsciously stood a step away from Bai Lei.

Seeing Zhang Beichen taking great care of Xia Songlan, she felt a little jealous and asked softly, "Songlan, who is this comrade?"

Xia Songlan did not hesitate. She took Zhang Beichen's gloves and put them on her hands. The gloves still had Zhang Beichen's residual warmth in them, and she felt much warmer after putting them on.

After listening to Liu Qingqing's introduction, "Cousin, this is Uncle Qingqing, she is the daughter of Grandma Liu, Grandma's sister."

Then he turned to Liu Qingqing and said, "Uncle Master, this is my cousin Zhang Beichen."

Zhang Beichen looked at Liu Qingqing and extended his right hand. "Hello, nice to meet you."

Liu Qingqing pursed her lips shyly, and tucked her messy hair behind her ears before reaching out and holding Zhang Beichen's hand. "Hello, I'm Liu Qingqing."

The voice was melodious and pleasant, yet tinged with shyness.

His hand immediately separated from Zhang Beichen's hand.

His eyes moved and he raised his eyebrows, glancing at Zhang Beichen's face.

Zhang Beichen took a step back calmly and stood next to Xia Songlan.

Xia Songlan introduced Bai Lei again, "This is the grandson of Secretary Bai, and also a neighbor of my uncle's family, Comrade Bai Lei."

Bai Lei enthusiastically stretched out his hands and held Zhang Beichen's hands, shaking them vigorously, "Welcome, welcome... Welcome to our Baijia Village.

My grandpa was so excited that he didn't sleep all night last night.

He said you are the God of Wealth, and you are here to help us ordinary people make money.”

Zhang Beichen adjusted his glasses and said, "Old Party Secretary Bai is too polite."

He did not go on to say more.

Liu Qingqing interrupted and said, "Comrade Beichen, are you going to live here permanently from now on?"

Her eyes were sparkling, and when she looked at people, she showed both the shyness of a young girl and infinite affection.

Just like fishing bait floating in the water, swaying and attracting fish to take the bait.

Xia Songlan looked at her shy appearance and laughed secretly in her heart.

She knew her cousin Zhang Beichen's temper and personality too well.

Zhang Beichen is already 30 years old and has had two girlfriends, but neither of them got to the point of marriage. Each of his girlfriends was good to him.

He is a born businessman. He never does anything without profit. Making money is always his top priority. Love and affection are just embellishments.

If a woman can be beneficial to his future, he will be willing to date her; if she is not beneficial, he will not even take her into consideration.

He is romantic but not vulgar, and certainly not without bottom line.

So Zhang Beichen saw through Liu Qingqing's behavior and intentions in front of him at a glance.

He said distantly, "I am only here to study with the inspection team. I don't know the future schedule or plans."

Liu Qingqing stroked her waist-length braids and said, "Actually, our Baijia Village is pretty good, with beautiful mountains, rivers, and beautiful women..."

Having said this, she lowered her head shyly.

Xia Songlan silently made up for it in her heart, and she became even more beautiful.

She missed Liu Changchun so much at this moment. If Liu Changchun were here, he would definitely be her mouthpiece and would be able to criticize Liu Qingqing to pieces.

I’m glad that Liu Changchun didn’t come. Liu Changchun’s sharp tongue might have made Liu Qingqing cry. Then grandpa wouldn’t let her off easily.

Several images have emerged in Xia Songlan's mind, and she feels happy as she thinks about them.

Bai Lei was enthusiastically introducing the characteristics of Baijia Village to Zhang Beichen. When he heard Xia Songlan chuckle, he asked in surprise, "Comrade Xia, what did you hear that was so funny?"

Seeing that she had attracted attention, Xia Songlan waved her hands awkwardly, "No, no, you guys chat...you guys chat, hehe~~"

Zhang Beichen glanced at Xia Songlan with understanding, and explained, "Songlan in our family is a simple-minded girl. She must have been distracted just now. Maybe she was thinking of something happy."

Then he teased, "Are you missing Jing Mo?"

Xia Songlan blushed, "I don't miss him, I miss my two children."

Liu Qingqing was surprised, "Who is Jing Mo? What child?"

Xia Songlan explained with a smile, "Jing Mo is my lover, and we already have two children."

"You're married. And you have kids? How old are you?"

"22, we've been married for more than four years, and our child is already over three years old." Xia Songlan raised her head proudly.

Liu Qingqing was shocked after hearing this. It took her a long while to digest the information, but when she looked at Xia Songlan again, her eyes were less hostile and more sympathetic.

Even the hint of vigilance that had just been revealed was much less.
