After Liu Xiaoxi finished her meal, Gu Zhan took her downstairs for a walk before returning to the room.

"Are you going out again this afternoon?"

Gu Zhan smiled apologetically, took Liu Xiaoxi's hand and kissed it on his lips: "Wife, I'm sorry, I wanted to take you out for a walk, but I couldn't finish my work here for a while."

However, Liu Xiaoxi felt that there was no problem at all. He had gone out to do serious business, and taking her along was already a pleasant surprise. How could she ignore the business and just let him take her out to play?

"It's okay. Serious matters are more important. If we want to go out for a walk, any time is fine."

Gu Zhan was not only touched but also heartbroken by his wife's consideration and understanding.

After calculating the time this afternoon, he decided to teach a little faster, leaving the freed-up time for his wife and taking Liu Xiaoxi out for shopping and a walk.

It's so hard to go out, I can't stay in the room all the time.

After taking a short nap with Liu Xiaoxi, Gu Zhan got up, washed his face briefly, and woke up the sleepy Liu Xiaoxi: "Wife, I'm leaving."

"Hmm!" Liu Xiaoxi turned over, muttered a response and continued to sleep.

Gu Zhan had no choice but to leave a note in the room: "Wife, I'm leaving. I'll be back early this afternoon to take you out for a walk. Don't open the door to strangers."

Liu Xiaoxi is simple-minded, so he felt it would be more reassuring if he gave her some advice.

Gu Zhan arrived at the Agricultural Bureau during working hours.

Not long after they sat down, Yu Gang came over and said that everything was ready and they were just waiting for Gu Zhan to give the lecture.

Yu Gang led the way and passed through the corner of a row of office buildings in front. Behind them were rows of rooms, which was where the two of them worked.

The room at the back was not as spacious and bright as the one at the front. It was basically a dormitory for staff members. However, due to the tight office area at the front, it was finally decided to place the two of them here.

Liu Weibing and Li Yang saw Yu Gang and his men coming over, and they looked at each other. Li Yang turned his head to look at Gu Zhan outside the window with an inexplicable expression.

It was Liu Weibing who was surprised when Gu Zhan became clearer and clearer in his sight: What an outstanding young man, he looks unusual at first glance.

Guard Liu straightened his expression, stood up from his seat and greeted the people outside.

Li Yang was originally sitting steadily on the stool, but when he saw Liu Weibing standing up to show his courtesy, he didn't want to stand out and stood up reluctantly.

After Yu Gang led the people into the house, he introduced them to the two with a smile: "Xiao Liu and Xiao Li, this is Comrade Gu Zhan who was recruited in the same batch as you."

"Welcome!" Liu Weibing grinned, revealing his big white teeth. He walked up to Gu Zhan and said hello, "Hello, Comrade Gu Zhan. I'm Liu Weibing."

Seeing this, Li Yang suppressed his discomfort and stepped forward to shake hands and greet him: "Comrade Gu Zhan, hello, I am Li Yang."

Seeing that the three had greeted each other, Yu Gang continued, "I've already discussed this with you two, so I won't go into details here. Comrade Gu Zhan's English was praised by Professor Zhang from the provincial government. So Director Li took this rare opportunity to invite him to give you two a lecture to improve our English translation skills."

Gu Zhan knew that Yu Gang was trying to boost his morale, so he didn't say anything. He just smiled and said, "It's not really a lecture. I came at about the same time as everyone else, so at most we can just learn from each other."

Immediately afterwards, Gu Zhan briefly talked about the problems in the manuscript he saw from Li Yuquan this morning, and also put forward some of his own views.

Liu Weibing listened carefully, and carefully sorted out the problems he had encountered when translating the manuscript in his mind. Then he translated according to Gu Zhan's solution, and it really became much smoother.

Therefore, he took very careful notes during Gu Zhan's subsequent explanation.

Li Yang didn't take it seriously. Looking at Gu Zhan's eloquent speech, he thought he was just bragging. Who couldn't speak on the stage? Perhaps he wasn't even as good as his own translation?

When one has too many thoughts, he loses concentration. During the more than two-hour class, Liu Weibing reminded Li Yang several times.

Gu Zhan had already seen the situation here clearly, but he did not show it on his face.

The class ended, and Liu Weibing was still unsatisfied. As Gu Zhan was leaving, Liu Weibing quickly stepped forward to stop him and said, "Comrade Gu Zhan, could you please take a look at the word order you mentioned? Is my translation correct?"

Gu Zhan took the paper handed to him by Liu Weibing, took a look at it, and said with a smile: "Very correct."

Liu Weibing was extremely happy.

It turns out that the English I learned was just simple vocabulary-level English, and I was far from being able to connect words into sentences and understand an article.

It seemed he had to hurry up and study. After the class, he actually felt a sense of urgency, which Liu Weibing found novel.

Watching Gu Zhan's back as he left the corner of the office area, Li Yang walked past Liu Weibing with a sullen face and ignored him.

Liu Weibing scratched his hair, thinking that Li Yang had a very strange temper. People were willing to waste their time and give him advice, so why should he, a student, be angry?

But Liu Weibing forgot that people have an emotion called jealousy and unwillingness.

Gu Zhan returned to the guesthouse and knocked on the door. It took Liu Xiaoxi a long time to open the door.

When he saw the marks on Liu Xiaoxi's face left by the pillow, he realized that the girl in front of him had actually slept for the whole afternoon.

"Why did you wake up just now?" Gu Zhan tapped Liu Xiaoxi's forehead and asked with a smile.

Feeling a slight pain on his forehead, Liu Xiaoxi gradually woke up from his sleepy state: "I'm so sleepy."

Gu Zhan turned around, poured a glass of water from the thermos on the table and left it on the table to cool. This silly wife slept for most of the day and didn't even know how to drink water.

After Liu Xiaoxi finished drinking the water, the sun outside was not so scorching anymore, so Gu Zhan took Liu Xiaoxi's hand and walked out of the guesthouse.

It was just time for school to be over, and the streets were filled with children playing and laughing.

Gu Zhan looked at everything in front of him greedily, imagining in his mind that in a few years, his daughter would also be one of these students.

"What are you looking at?"

Liu Xiaoxi noticed that Gu Zhan was distracted, tugged at his sleeve and asked.

Gu Zhan, who had come to his senses, smiled silently and said softly, "Nothing! I just thought of something."

It was almost time to get off work, and there were probably not many good things left in the supply and marketing cooperative and the department store. Gu Zhan had no intention of taking Liu Xiaoxi there.

He just took her for a walk in some places they hadn't been to yesterday, and then found a state-owned canteen. They each had a bowl of noodle soup and went home.
