Marry a female star at a bargain price

Chapter 133 132. Field Research
The next morning, Han Xixi slept until he woke up naturally.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I found Lin Xiao lying on his side beside me with his head propped up, blinking his eyes and looking at me with a smile.

She was so frightened that she quickly hid half of her face under the quilt.

"You...what are you doing..."

"Look at my wife!"

"..."

Han Xixi immediately blushed behind her ears, bit her lips under the quilt, and said in a muffled voice, "You...you get out quickly, I want to get up!"

Lin Xiao teased her: "Little lazy pig, weren't you very diligent before? You always woke up before me. What's wrong now? Are you showing your true colors?"

Han Xixi suddenly became anxious: "Who is the lazy pig?!"

Lin Xiao pinched her face directly, pulling up a large piece of her baby fat face.

"You, that's you! Whoever wakes up late is a lazy pig!"

“Lin Xiao!!!”

Han Xixi screamed, and Han Haijun and Liu Liyun outside heard it.

The couple looked at each other and laughed.

Soon, the family of four had breakfast.

Liu Liyun suddenly asked, "Xiao Lin, I'm actually quite curious... You said you have this talent for music creation, why don't you just stick to this career path and choose to enter the system instead? Writing songs should make a lot more money than your current salary, right?"

Lin Xiao smiled, but of course he couldn't say openly that he was tired of the intrigue in the entertainment industry.

This statement has little credibility.

So he said, "Songwriting relies on inspiration, but inspiration is something illusory and it doesn't just appear out of nowhere!"

Liu Liyun smiled lovingly: "But I see that you have a lot of inspiration. It's not just in the past few months that you have written several popular songs in a row!"

Lin Xiao glanced at Han Xixi who was drinking porridge beside him. There was still a blush behind her ears from playing with him earlier in the morning.

Secretly holding her little hand under the table.

“That’s because someone inspired me, and inspiration came to me like a spring!”

He said seriously, "Before I met Xixi, my last song was six years ago. I haven't released any new works in six years... Tell me, is this inspiration reliable?"

The old couple then nodded, thinking that he was right.

Han Haijun said seriously: "Xiao Lin, you have created several songs in a row now. You should be famous and successful in this circle, right? Can you still do your job well?"

Lin Xiao smiled.

What the father-in-law was clearly asking was, if he could still be content with the low salary of deputy mayor when writing songs could make so much money?
Don't just resign because you can't bear it, or he will have no one to succeed him!
Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Dad, don't worry. My current career and position are all choices I made after careful consideration. No matter how many unexpected gains I have in other fields, they will not interfere with my original choice!"

Han Haijun nodded immediately: "Okay, okay! At your age, it's not easy to stay sober after being exposed to the glitz and glamour of the entertainment industry! But the more this happens, the more I trust you!"

"Huh?" Lin Xiao was puzzled.

“Being a cadre is bound to be tempted!”

Han Haijun said seriously, "You are at the grassroots level and are considered a powerful leader. There are naturally many people who want to curry favor with you. Many young comrades have fallen into the abyss of depravity step by step because they did not control themselves at work.

"To be honest, when you signed up for the Young Talents Program, your mother and I were worried about this. We were afraid that without us to keep you under control, you might easily go astray."

Han Haijun said, smiling: "But now, knowing that you have the identity of Ma Yao, we are completely relieved. With your creative talent, you must have no shortage of money. The fact that you can still stick to your current position shows that you are a person who does not seek fame and fortune, but has great aspirations. It is usually difficult to be corrupted and tempted, and you can serve the people in a down-to-earth manner!"

Lin Xiao laughed and pinched Xixi's tender little hand.

"Dad, you're too kind. I don't think too much about it. I just want to do my job well!"

Changing the subject, he smiled and said, "Actually, Mom is right. In revolution, there is only a division of labor, not high or low. Being a cadre means serving the people, doing practical things and solving problems. Being a singer means contributing good music to the masses. This is also a way to serve the masses..."

Han Xixi was eating porridge, feeling the warmth coming from the palm of his left hand, and was so embarrassed that he almost became deaf.

In fact, she didn't pay any attention to the conversation between the three civil servants.

Now I’m suddenly cueed and I’m still a little confused.

I realized it later: Is he afraid that he will be praised but I am not, and he will be unhappy? !

I couldn't help but find it funny.

She pursed her lips, wondering: My husband is liked by his parents, so should I, as a wife, be jealous?

When she thought of the word "wife", she recalled how someone had taken advantage of her last night and this morning.

My heart couldn't help but waver, and my cheeks turned even redder.

Han Haijun and Liu Liyun were experienced people, and they felt the sweetness and fun of the young couple, and they smiled without saying a word.

Everyone is having fun at the dinner table!
……

After breakfast and tidying up, the family of four went to Mingyue Garden to visit Liu Zhongshan and Shen Suzhi.

They are Han Xixi's grandparents.

When the old couple saw their granddaughter and her husband, they were naturally overjoyed.

We sat together and chatted for a while.

Shen Suzhi was going to cook, so Liu Liyun naturally took over the job from her old mother, and the mother and daughter went to the kitchen.

Han Haijun chatted with Lao Taishan and also brought his son-in-law along.

The relationship between the two pairs of father-in-law and son-in-law is exactly the same, close yet a little tense.

Han Haijun's current rank is much higher than before Liu Zhongshan retired.

So even though he received a lot of support from his father-in-law when he first married Liu Liyun, he can now completely liberate himself and sing like a serf.

But Han Haijun did not do that and was always respectful to Liu Zhongshan.

This attitude is the same as Lin Xiao's towards Han Haijun - neither fearful nor complacent, so the atmosphere seems harmonious.

Han Xixi had nothing to do, so he was looking through his childhood things in his room alone.

I didn’t even know when Lin Xiao came in.

"What are you looking at?"

He spoke, startling Xixi.

"Nothing much, just some things from my childhood. I didn't expect my grandma still kept them!"

"Let me see!"

Lin Xiao was quite interested and moved closer.

Then I saw a large wooden box filled with many little girls' clothes, hats and even shoes, as well as books, toys and other things, all neatly stacked.

It can be seen that Shen Suzhi loves these things very much.

Lin Xiao saw that most of the clothes were red and pink, and found them very interesting, so he started laughing.

He sat down behind her, resting his chin on her shoulder naturally, and said with a smile: "I can't tell, you were also very cute when you were a child, much more high-profile than now!"

As he spoke, hot air blew straight into Xixi's face.

Han Xixi felt the warmth and her face turned red again. She quickly explained, "These were bought for me by my grandma. I rarely wear them... If you don't believe me, I'll show you the photo album!"

As he said this, he quickly took out a photo album from the box and showed it to him page by page.

Lin Xiao took a look and found that what Xixi said was indeed true.

The chubby little girl in the photo is wearing mostly white and apricot clothes, and is indeed not as flashy as other little girls.

However, for a girl of this age who loves beauty and prettiness, this kind of dress is a bit too monotonous and lacks the freshness of a little girl.

"Then when will you dress like this and show it to me?" Lin Xiao asked, holding the pink clothes in his hand.

"This... is what children of four or five years old wear!"

"I didn't ask you to wear this, I was talking about this style!"

Lin Xiao took her hand, interlocked his fingers with hers, and smiled gently, "I want to see you dressed like this, feeling very energetic... Is that okay?"

Han Xixi pursed her lips and lowered her head: "Well... I'll try it next time..."

Lin Xiao was delighted and gave her a kiss on the face, which made a "ba" sound.

Han Xixi immediately jumped off the edge of the bed.

"You...you are at your grandparents' house!!"

"Oh, then can we do it at home?" Lin Xiao said seriously!
“Lin Xiao!!!”

Han Xixi stamped his feet in anxiety.

Lin Xiao was so happy to see her like this, and now he didn’t know why, but he just liked to tease her!

He regained his composure for a moment and continued looking at the old photos.

Lin Xiao discovered that in many of Xixi’s photos there was another little girl of the same age next to her, and the two little girls were smiling very harmoniously.

Upon asking, she found out that this was her childhood friend, named Xie Xiaowei.

"Are you still in touch now?" Lin Xiao asked.

"Yes, she is my best friend!"

Han Xixi smiled and said, "It's just that since I went to Haicheng to attend university, we have had fewer opportunities to meet. Now that I'm a singer, I don't dare to go out every time I go home, so we don't meet very often... But our relationship is still very good, and we chat almost every day!"

Lin Xiao pouted.

I thought to myself: Aren’t you a busy man? You often don’t even reply to my messages, but you still have time to chat with others?

I was so angry that I wanted to pin her down on the bed and give her a good beating.

Considering that we are at the elderly’s home, forget it!
Soon it was time to eat.

The old walnut dining table was filled with seven or eight bowls of food. It was obviously just an ordinary family dinner, but it was made to feel like New Year's Day.

Han Haijun accompanied his father-in-law for a drink. Lin Xiao poured wine for them, but he didn't drink it because he had to drive soon.

Shen Suzhi kept picking up food for him. "That's enough, grandma, I can't finish it!" Lin Xiao looked at the small bowl in front of him that had piled up into a small mountain and laughed.

"Eat more, young man!"

Shen Suzhi had a kind face.

Lin Xiao really couldn't refuse the kindness, so he could only accept it with a smile.

While enjoying their meal, Liu Zhongshan suddenly asked, "Xiao Lin, you and Xixi have been married for a while, when are you going to have the wedding?"

These words contained a hint of questioning.

Although it was not obvious, Lin Xiao still felt it clearly.

But I can understand it!

Generally speaking, after the wedding date is confirmed, people will go to get the marriage certificate a few days in advance, or even get it after the wedding.

It's indeed not normal that they have obtained the marriage certificate for several months but still have no news about the wedding date.

Lin Xiao opened his mouth to respond.

Liu Liyun smiled and spoke in a coquettish tone towards her old father: "Dad, don't worry about young people's affairs, they have their own plans! The young couple are very busy, especially your granddaughter, who flies all over the world all day long. How can a wedding be held just like that?"

Liu Zhongshan said seriously, "There are so many celebrities, shouldn't they all get married? Is Xixi busier than others?"

This sentence choked Liu Liyun so much that she was speechless.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Shen Suzhi hurriedly pretended to reprimand: "Just eat your meal, what are you doing? You scared the child!"

Then, he turned to Lin Xiao and said, "Xiao Lin, grandpa loves Xixi and wants to see you two get married sooner. To be honest, we are too old now. We took off our shoes and socks today, but we don't know if we will wear them tomorrow. Now we are only worried about the marriages of our grandchildren..."

Before she finished speaking, Liu Liyun shouted angrily: "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? The first month of the lunar year isn't even over yet!!"

Shen Suzhi smiled elegantly.

Lin Xiao hurriedly said, "Grandpa and grandma, please rest assured that Xixi and I will live a good life! We are planning the wedding seriously. When the date is set, I will ask grandpa to write an inscription for our wedding room and ask grandma to prepare a wedding dress for Xixi. Please don't refuse!"

After hearing this, Liu Zhongshan and Shen Suzhi smiled and kept serving him food: "Xiao Lin, eat more, eat more..."

……

It was already past two in the afternoon when we finished our meal.

After Lin Xiao sent his father-in-law and mother-in-law home, he drove Han Xixi directly to the airport. Her flight was at 4:30 in the afternoon.

The car drove out of the city and onto the expressway.

Han Xixi was silent all the way, and finally spoke softly at this moment: "Lin Xiao...thank you for these two days."

Lin Xiao glanced at her and continued to look straight ahead, but he freed his right hand and reached out to her.

Xixi understood and put her left hand on it, clasping her fingers together.

"no need thank me?"

"Thank you... for putting my parents and grandparents at ease!"

"Oh, that's it!" Lin Xiao looked dissatisfied.

"Then what do you think I want to thank you for?" Han Xixi was very curious.

Lin Xiao laughed: "I thought you wanted to thank me for making my fake play real with you!"

Han Xixi was stunned for a moment, then shook his hand away.

"Who... who wants you to make a real play?"

"Do not care?"

"Not rare!!!"

It's getting a bit anxious!

Lin Xiao quickly apologized upon seeing this. Now he didn't know what was wrong with him, he just loved teasing her and being a bit of a jerk!

It hasn't been like this for many years!
The car arrived at the airport quickly.

The two were in love and hate each other just now, but they were reluctant to part. Lin Xiao took the opportunity to take advantage. Although he couldn't have sex in the car, at least he completed the kiss that he failed to do yesterday.

But I didn't expect that I was still one step behind.

His mouth almost touched hers, but the little girl dodged it nimbly. After getting off the car, she walked to the front of the car and gave him a slight nod, then jumped and ran away.

Lin Xiao looked at her with a smile on his face.

But then he became suspicious again, blew twice on his palm, licked it, and then put it under his nose to smell it.

"No breath..."

He was puzzled.

After thinking about it, I can only understand that my wife is still too young and it is her first time to fall in love, so it is normal for her to be overly nervous and shy!
Lin Xiao then warned himself not to be anxious.

We need to guide her and melt her slowly, only then can we have a long-term future!
……

After sending Han Xixi off, Lin Xiao returned to Chaobai Town and took charge of the evening shift.

I didn't leave after handing over my shift in the morning. I had nothing to do, so I strolled around the town and had breakfast.

When I was about to go home, I received a call from Qin Zhenggang.

"What's wrong, Qin Zhen?" he asked.

"Someone from the Transportation Bureau will come to our place for research tomorrow. I have already arranged everything with the office. You should also be prepared. Come and report tomorrow!"

Lin Xiao's eyes lit up.

I just met with Chen Jie, director of the Transportation Bureau, on Friday, and they will come down to conduct research on Monday.

This speed!

Lin Xiao didn't think this was a coincidence, but he was still impressed by Director Chen's decisiveness.

"Why so sudden?" he asked.

"I just received a call from the county. I was also surprised!"

Qin Zhenggang smiled and said, "But I guess it's because your request was well written, with clear logic and detailed data. When the leaders of the Transportation Bureau saw it, they realized that Chaobai Town really needed a highway entrance and exit, so they naturally came down to investigate... There are still many down-to-earth people in this industry!"

Qin Zhenggang sighed.

Lin Xiao was just about to tell him about his trip to the Transportation Bureau on Friday, but when he heard him sighing like that, he swallowed his words back.

"Forget it, let Qin Zhen show more sincerity and love!" he thought to himself.

hang up the phone.

Lin Xiao didn't take tomorrow's research seriously and had nothing to prepare.

Those materials are all in my mind and I have already mastered them.

Go to work the next day.

At ten o'clock, Chen Jie, director of the Transportation Bureau, accompanied by Ma Yongqiang, deputy county magistrate of Anyang County, came to the Chaobai Town compound. Several cadres from the Transportation Bureau and Anyang County also accompanied them.

The long table in the conference room was packed with people.

Chen Jie spotted Lin Xiao in the crowd at a glance, but the two of them tacitly pretended not to know each other and didn't even make eye contact.

The research seminar officially began.

Deputy County Chief Ma presided over the meeting, briefly explained the purpose of Director Chen and his delegation's visit, and then went straight to the point.

Normally, Qin Zhenggang should have reported it, but he gave the opportunity directly to Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao was not stage-frightened and started talking without a script, starting from the constraints on Chaobai Town's economic development, to the distance between Ningyi Expressway and the town center, to the accident rate on the national highway section in the jurisdiction in recent years, and even taking into account the appropriate location for building the expressway entrance and exit.

The whole process was smooth and calm, many numbers came out of his mouth without any tension caused by facing a big scene.

This calm demeanor surprised Chen Jie and Ma Yongqiang, and they looked at him with a hint of ambiguity in their eyes.

After the introduction.

The group drove directly to the neighboring Sanhuai Town.

Because this section of highway is not in Chaobai Town but in Sanhuai Town, if you want to add a highway entrance and exit, you actually have to use the land in Sanhuai Town. Chaobai Town only needs to build a connecting line leading to the highway exit.

Fortunately, Sanhuai Town is also under the jurisdiction of Anyang County.

Since the county strongly supports this project, Sanhuai Town will naturally have no objection.

Moreover, adding more highway entrances and exits is also a rare opportunity for the economic development and improvement of transportation facilities in Sanhuai Town, so they certainly would not refuse it.

This event can be regarded as a friendly cooperation between the two towns.

Chaobai Town is responsible for paving the way ahead, while Sanhuai Town is responsible for trivial matters such as land acquisition later on. The two towns can be said to be working together to fill in the gaps and plan for the future.

Cars and vehicles of all sizes arrived at the highway section between the two towns.

Chen Jie took the professionals to investigate the situation on the spot. After some effort, it was already past twelve o'clock.

The group returned to Chaobai Town for lunch and then returned to the city.

Qin Zhenggang watched the vehicle drive out of the compound gate, feeling nervous.

"This is going so smoothly... Can it really succeed?" he asked.

Lin Xiao paused.

Thinking back to the journey just now, Director Chen's expression was not clear and he didn't dare to make any judgments.

Of course he knew that Chen Jie had already figured out the relationship between him and Han Haijun, otherwise he would not have come down to investigate so quickly.

In Director Chen's eyes, he, the deputy mayor, now has a very powerful background!
But having context is one thing.

Whether the project can be done is another matter!

Lin Xiao pondered over everything that had happened this morning and finally shook his head.

"I see...it's hanging!"
