Chapter 378: Old Friends Reunion, BBQ Party
"I know, I know." Xu Ning nodded repeatedly in response. She understood clearly in her heart that these elderly people meant a lot to her. They were the resources she cherished the most and regarded as treasures!
As the saying goes, having an old person is like having a treasure. With so many experienced and wise elders around him, Xu Ning feels that what he has now is simply a treasure trove!
She just wanted these lovely old babies to feel the joyful atmosphere of young people, so she suggested that everyone go to a disco and gently twist their bodies. This can not only add fun to life, but it is also said to help prolong life!
Of course, considering their advanced age, relatively fragile bones and prone to problems such as osteoporosis, Xu Ning had already arranged people to take care of these old babies.
Just after the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Xu Ning gave an order and the staff who had been ready quickly distributed bowls of cool and delicious mung bean soup to everyone.
"Thank you, City Lord!" Several enthusiastic common people in the crowd gathered around happily and thanked Xu Ning with gratitude on their faces.
Xu Ning was very generous and carefree. She waved her hand gracefully and said with a smile, "You're welcome. Let's drink it while it's hot and take a rest after drinking it.
We have more fun activities and delicious food waiting for you later! Be sure to conserve your energy and keep enough energy, we are going to party hard tonight and stay up all night long! "
"Xiao Ning!" Xu Ning vaguely heard someone calling her name, but the bustling crowd around her blocked the sound, making it difficult for her to tell who was calling.
So she suddenly had an idea, and she jumped lightly onto a wooden box placed beside her. She looked far away and finally saw Li the Hunter and his son, as well as Jiang Yan and others, who were walking slowly towards her.
The first thing that caught my eye was Jiang Yan's handsome figure. His complexion was much darker than before, probably because he had been traveling in the Western Regions during this period. Looking at Li the Hunter, he was still as strong and sturdy as an unshakable mountain.
As the weather gets warmer, people wear thinner clothes, so one can see more clearly Li the Hunter's strong and powerful arms, broad and thick shoulders, and the faintly protruding iron-hard muscles on his back, demonstrating his strong physique forged from years of labor and giving people a sense of oppression that cannot be defeated.
But the good news is that Li Xier looks more like his mother Feng, and is quite pretty. At this moment, the shy little boy is holding his father's hand tightly, and walking towards Xu Ning carefully step by step.
"Uncle Li!" Seeing a familiar face, Xu Ning couldn't contain his joy and excitement, and greeted him loudly and cheerfully. The people who had gathered around and looked curiously found that the newcomer was someone Xu Ning knew, so they tactfully made way for him.
Jiang Yan, who was walking in the front, was wearing plain and simple clothes, but even such a simple outfit could not conceal his innate noble temperament.
Now that he is 18 years old, his figure is almost fully grown, and his posture is tall and slender, like a thriving pine tree. Every gesture exudes a sunny and resolute aura that is unique to young men.
Xu Ning stared at Jiang Yan in front of him without blinking, and for a moment he was a little dazed.
For some reason, she always felt that Jiang Yan seemed to have become more handsome after not seeing him for just a few months. His angular face looked even more handsome and charming, his deep and bright eyes were like the bright stars in the night sky, his lips were slightly raised under his tall and straight nose, outlining a faint smile that made people's hearts beat.
"Sister!" A clear and childish voice came, and Li Xier suddenly poked out her little head from behind Jiang Yan's tall figure like a clever little rabbit.
The pair of big, round, watery eyes rolled around and attracted Xu Ning's attention.
Jiang Yan, who was standing by, could not help but secretly complain in his heart when he saw this. He had finally hoped that Xu Ning would pay more attention to him, but now, it was all ruined by this ignorant little brat!
He glared at Li Xier secretly, his heart full of disdain for this little guy.
At this time, Li the Hunter, who had been silent in the back, said with a look of surprise: "Oh, it's really Xiao Ning. Girls really change a lot when they grow up. They become more and more beautiful! Look, she has grown into a graceful young lady!"
When Xu Ning heard this, a smile as bright as a spring flower suddenly blossomed on her face, and she responded coquettishly: "Uncle Li, you really know how to praise people! Xi'er has grown so tall, so naturally I have grown up with her!"
As she spoke, she winked playfully, then extended her hand in a gesture of invitation, and said with a smile: "Uncle Li, let's go inside and chat slowly! You've been traveling so long, so sit down and have some tea to quench your thirst!"
Li the Hunter nodded repeatedly and hurriedly pulled Li Xier to follow Xu Ning's footsteps and walked into the house.
Jiang Yan was quite self-aware. When he saw Xu Ning and the others walk into the house, he quickly ordered his men to guard the outside of the house. Afterwards, he followed them into the house and found a seat with ease and sat down.
At this moment, Li the Hunter was completely focused on observing the changes in Xu Ning over the years, and he didn't notice at all that Jiang Yan was acting as if he was alone and at ease as if he was at home.
Xu Ning was already accustomed to such scenes, so he naturally didn't say anything.
Only the mischievous Li Xier stared at Jiang Yan with her big black eyes full of curiosity, thinking secretly in her heart: This young master Jiang looks so free and easy, just like an uncle entering his aunt's room casually!
However, Li Xier has always been shy and introverted, so when he noticed this situation, he just stayed beside Li Liehu obediently and said nothing, quietly listening to the conversation between Li Liehu and Xu Ning with a focused and serious expression.
Li the Hunter said with emotion: "Xiao Ning, I never expected that everyone has changed so much in just a few years!" Xu Ning smiled and nodded in agreement, and then the two began to chat about those old memories that could be talked about.
Time passed by unknowingly, and soon, their topic naturally turned to matters concerning the two cities.
To be honest, before leaving the house, when the head of the family, Li Da, gave him the full authority to handle the matter, Li Liehu was indeed a little uneasy in his heart. After all, he did not handle the Feng family's matter well last time in Qingfeng Village, so he was a little lacking in confidence.
However, when he actually saw Xu Ning at this moment, for some reason, his restless heart suddenly calmed down. He thought that perhaps it would be a wiser choice for them to follow Xu Ning.
Although they have been entrenched outside Windy City over the past few years, they have never made any substantial progress. If you think about it carefully, this undoubtedly shows that they have many shortcomings in governance and management.
Instead of racking their brains and relying on their own not-so-bright minds to plan their future, it would be better to follow Xu Ning. Moreover, Li the Hunter was fully confident that Xu Ning would never treat them unfairly.
Xu Ning keenly noticed that Li the Hunter seemed to be about to express his attitude immediately, so she quickly and skillfully changed the subject: "Uncle Li, time flies! We haven't gathered for such a long time, and our annual barbecue party in Xiacheng is just about to begin. How about this, let's put these things aside for now, enjoy the food and happy time, and then continue to discuss this topic after we have had enough fun, what do you think?"
