20 years of restarting life

Chapter 3485 Zhang Lishan's Phone Call
At this time, even in mountainous cities, most households used charcoal or coal stoves for heating, rarely using electric heaters, let alone air conditioners.

Inside the bedroom, the only ways to keep warm are thick quilts, electric blankets, hot water bottles, or men and women cuddling together.

Zhou Zhou slept in a cradle covered with a thick new cotton mattress and a thick new cotton quilt, so he wasn't cold. However, Zhao Chang'an was sitting on a small single sofa, and Hu Qian was sitting close to him, so they were indeed a little cold. Therefore, the two of them simply pulled a quilt over themselves to keep warm.

Hu Qian straddled Zhao Chang'an's waist with her two straight and slender white legs, her upper body lounging lazily against him, and murmured, "Chang'an, this is so good. I never knew it could be this good. This experience has made my whole life worthwhile!"

Be confident, your brilliant and wonderful life has only just begun.

Zhao Chang'an gently stroked Hu Qian's smooth, slender back, feeling her ribs and spine through her delicate skin, which inspired Hu Qian.

In terms of actual user experience, Zhao Chang'an still quite likes the woman in his arms.

Otherwise, why would Zhu Ziqing use "her loose wrinkles, like the hem of a young woman's skirt" instead of "young girl" when describing "green"? It's because he understood that the two words each had their own unique charm and flavor.

Therefore, I don't mind deciding to hold it long-term and slowly develop and enjoy it.

"Actually, Xiao Zhou and I do very little."

Hu Qian pressed her delicate face against Zhao Chang'an's broad chest, feeling his vigorous heartbeat: "I disliked his uncleanliness, and no matter how much he washed, he always had a disgusting muttony smell, like body odor. I told him many times to clean himself up, and we argued a lot about it. In anger, he simply stopped doing it, which I thought was better. Later I found out that he had body odor. Before Zhou Zhou, we only did it a few times a year, and each time it was over in two or three minutes. Since I got pregnant, and now, it's been two years since he touched me, and he doesn't seem to have any feelings for me. Apart from at the shop, when he gets home he's reading martial arts novels over and over again."

Zhao Chang'an believed Hu Qian's words because he could sense the difference. The difference between a winding, narrow mountain road in a village and a highway was obvious even to a fool.

Moreover, Hu Qian's words reminded him of his relationship with Li Shiya in his previous life. It wasn't always Li Shiya who complained that he wasn't clean enough, saying that the smell of smoke on his body was too strong, and that he should take a shower and brush his teeth. As a result, Zhao Chang'an would often have to put up with his anger and go to the study to find porn to watch to solve the problem.

"No wonder young men over the next decade or so have awakened to the fact that women in this world are no longer sycophants, but instead say that women affect the speed at which they draw their swords."

"Ling ring ring~"

Just then, Zhao Chang'an's phone rang, pulling him back to reality from his reverie and sighs.

He reached out from his warm bed, opened his bag, and took out his phone. It was a call from his mother.

"The home phone."

Zhao Chang'an explained, which startled Hu Qian so much that she tensed up. Zhao Chang'an gently patted her back with his other hand to calm her down.

"mom?"

Zhao Chang'an pressed the answer button and asked.

"Do you have time today? You were originally planning to come back this morning."

Zhang Lishan's voice was cheerful on the other end of the phone, indicating that she had already woken up.

"No, I was passing by the journal on my way there,"

Sensing that Hu Qian was tense again, barely daring to breathe, Zhao Chang'an lowered his head and gently kissed her soft, fragrant, and rosy lips, continuing, "I was thinking that if you wanted to drink, I would bring two servings on the way, but you said you went to bed late last night, so I let it go."

“Then come back for dinner tonight.” Zhang Lishan paused and said, “Your godmother just called me and said that your godfather is coming over this afternoon, along with her uncle Jiang Yaode and his wife. Xia Momo has fallen ill and is hospitalized in Pengzhou Hospital, so she can’t come.”

Zhao Chang'an knew that he had been with Wu Yudong yesterday, and Lao Lei had heard about it afterward.

However, Lao Lei is already over fifty years old this year, and Zhao Chang'an really doesn't think there's any need for him to run for a higher position. After all, the current trend is to promote the rejuvenation of cadres, especially in townships, which are the nerve centers of administrative management. It is even more important to vigorously promote young people around thirty years old who are in their prime and have broad and open minds to serve as the top leaders of townships.

The reality is that, in township leadership positions, veteran township cadres like Lao Lei, who graduated from vocational schools for children of workers and peasants and have stayed in townships for over thirty years, are mostly out of touch with the times in terms of vision, thinking, and courage.

Moreover, since there is no possibility of advancement, and they will retire after working for a few more years, some people inevitably develop crooked thoughts, which are nothing more than wine, women, and money.

"Old Lei is really something, why is he still running around like this at his age?"

Zhao Chang'an grumbled, then said, "They're here, so what? Director Zhao of the Construction Committee, a powerful department-level official, is accompanying them for drinks. Isn't that enough to justify neglecting them? Why do I have to come along too?"

“Come back. You and your godfather haven’t seen each other for more than two years. Let’s sit down, have a drink, and talk things over.”

Zhang Lishan said, "What Lao Lei? It's Jiang Yaode. Call him Uncle Jiang."

"I really have something to do this afternoon."

Zhao Chang'an refused without hesitation. As for Lao Lei's intention in bringing Xia Changhai over, it was obvious: several townships in Pengzhou, including Leishan Township, were due for a change in their township leaders.

Wu Yudong can do him this favor, but how can Zhao Chang'an repay Wu Yudong's favor?

Zhao Chang'an would be crazy to do this just to owe Lao Lei, whom he had met a few times when he was a child and visited Xia Changhai's house for the Spring Festival.

"You're just like your dad! What's wrong with having a meal together? Do you really think you're so great that people have to come and fawn over you two?"

Zhang Lishan was angry on the other end, but Zhao Chang'an could tell that his father was also annoyed by this kind of socializing and business dealings.

"I have something to do, I'll hang up now."

Zhao Chang'an didn't say anything more and hung up the phone. He guessed that his mother would definitely give Director Zhao a severe scolding and accusation on the other end of the line.

However, there's nothing that can be done about it. If a woman's heart isn't hardened, her belt is looser, making it easier for men to pull her down and cause trouble. And if a man's heart isn't hardened, then it's even more troublesome.

-

Zhao Chang'an stayed with Hu Qian until after 1 p.m. before driving away.

At this time, you'll hardly encounter anyone on this road. But if you wait until three or four in the afternoon, it's obviously not good if people coming from the neighborhood to pay their respects see your car parked in the yard.

As for Hu Qian, she decided to give Xiao Zhou the cold shoulder this time. If Xiao Zhou didn't back down, she wouldn't go back.

This is probably what Mr. and Mrs. Zhou hoped to see, giving Xiao Zhou and their carefully selected concubines a chance to develop feelings for each other, so that things could naturally fall into place.

Although this world is a huge makeshift stage, everyone on the stage wears a mask and acts, and the conflicts are just as cruel and cold-blooded.
