Chapter 107
Hong Xing curled her lips at her father's words, just as Dong Lin came in from the outside right now.

When Cai Kun saw Dong Lin, he was much more enthusiastic than usual in what he said, and he said with a smile, "Xiao Lin is here too, come in and sit down, just sit here, how about trying my new tea." He warmly pointed to the seat beside him, signaling Dong Lin to sit next to him.

While Cai Kun was speaking, he took out a tea cake wrapped in paper from under the tea machine, skillfully broke off a small piece from the tea cake, soaked it in the teapot, and said, "This is Pu'er tea, which I entrusted someone from Yunnan Bring it back, you taste it."

Dong Lin sat next to his father-in-law, and he was very flattered that his father-in-law was so warm to him for the first time.He said politely, "I'll just drink some water. It's a waste of such precious tea."

"Oh, tea is just for drinking, why waste it!" Cai Kun pretended to be angry, but when he saw Dong Lin still being submissive, he shook his head secretly.

Seeing that he couldn't excuse it, Donglin could only say in a low voice, "Then, then I'll have a drink or two."

Hong Xing sat on the edge and talked with her mother watching TV, she looked towards her father and Dong Lin from time to time, she was also surprised that his father was so kind to Dong Lin, but she seemed to understand his father's intentions.

It seemed that her father still hoped that she could live a good life with Dong Lin, and Guan Xiaobin might agree to it for a while.

At noon, because Donglin was also there, Cai Kun specifically asked Xu Shaofeng to cook two more dishes, saying that the son-in-law rarely came over when he was free, and asked him to accompany him for a drink or two.

Donglin is not used to drinking tea, and he is actually not very good at drinking.But the old man's kindness is hard to refuse, so he can only bite the bullet.

"Come on, Xiao Lin, let's do one." Cai Kun raised a small wine glass and said to Dong Lin, which was filled with fragrant white wine.

Dong Lin cautiously raised his cup, raised his head and took a gulp.

"Ahem..." The spicy taste of the liquor made him choke uncomfortably.

Cai Kun looked at Dong Lin with a big laugh and said, "Xiao Lin, you have to practice drinking more. This man can't do anything without drinking. Since he wants to drink, he must drink white. Look at any In the business world, big bosses drink beer together. Do you think I’m right?” Cai Kun drank two glasses, and his official style was revealed again.

Dong Lin nodded silently, without speaking.

Cai Kun added: "When you have nothing to do, you drink more with people like Boss Li, and walk around. You have to make contacts when you do things. Only with contacts will you have resources."

"Dad, have you drunk too much?" Hong Xing felt a little annoyed seeing her father teaching Donglin this and that endlessly as soon as the table was served.

Cai Kun glared at her, and said, "Hongxing, you have to treat Donglin better in the future, do you know? This husband and wife must understand and support each other, so that life can be more and more prosperous. Look at me and you Mom, we've been married for 30 or [-] years, and we're still as loving as ever. By the way, you have to change your temper too, this woman's temper is too hot..."

"Dad..." Hong Xing muttered dissatisfiedly, her father's wordy and abnormal behavior today made her very unhappy.

Xu Shaofeng looked at Hongxing and smiled, and said in a low voice: "Don't pay attention to him, he likes this every time he drinks a little wine."

Hong Xing nodded, quickly picking up the rice in her mouth, wishing she could leave the table quickly.

"I'm full, take your time." Hong Xing said because her father always used her to educate her today, so she only ate a bowl of rice and didn't want to eat it.

"Let's eat more." Seeing that her daughter ate so little, Xu Shaofeng called out distressedly.

Hong Xing left the dining table and said without looking back: "I don't want to eat, I'm going to go shopping in the street."

"Hey, Dong Lin is still here, why don't you wait for him!" Xu Shaofeng said, but Hong Xing took the small bag and went out in an instant.

Donglin watched Hongxing drop him and leave, he wanted to go out with him, but he didn't dare to leave because his father-in-law was here.

"Come on, let her go shopping if she likes to go shopping, we two continue to drink." Cai Kun picked up the wine bottle and poured another glass for Dong Lin.

Donglin had no choice but to smile wryly and continue to drink with him.

In other words, after Hongxing came out of the house, she walked directly to Willow Lane.She had heard that Guan Xiaobin lived in that direction, but she didn't know the exact location.

Today is Sunday, Guan Xiaobin told her that he rarely goes out during his rest except to read books.That is to say, he will most likely be at home today.

Hong Xing walked down the depths of Willow Alley. Compared with the prosperity and bustle of the main street, this place is more like a poor and backward urban village.The alleyway here is narrow, if a car is coming, pedestrians on both sides have to find a place to hide.

There are residential buildings on both sides of the alley, and there are small shops on the first floor without exception, selling groceries, vegetables, and various snacks.

Hong Xing's family lives in the bustling Zhengjie District, and she rarely comes to this kind of place. Although the ground is full of water stains and garbage, it is full of life, and she can't help feeling fresh and curious.

It turned out that Guan Xiaobin lived in such a place.

Hong Xing walked halfway in, because she didn't know the location of Guan Xiaobin's house, so she planned to ask the owner of the small shop by the roadside.

She found a small steamed stuffed bun shop, and when she saw the owner, she asked, "Boss, do you know how to get to Guan Xiaobin's house?"

The boss happened to have no customers in the store at the moment. Seeing that Hongxing was fat and big, and the clothes she was wearing were bright in color, she was not an ordinary street vendor, so he said, "You are not from Willow Lane, right? There is indeed someone with the surname Guan in this alley, but I don’t know if it’s the one you mentioned.”

At this moment, the boss's wife came out and said to the boss, "Isn't Guan Xiaobin the son of that old official who runs a tailor shop?"

Hong Xing remembered that Guan Xiaobin had told her that his family used to run a tailor shop, so she nodded excitedly and said, "Yes, yes, their family used to make clothes for others, do you know their family is right?" ?”

The proprietress pointed to the depths of the alley and said to Hongxing: "Just follow this alley to the end. There is a four or five-story building there, and his family lives on the second floor."

Upon hearing this, Hong Xing thanked her repeatedly, and hurriedly went deep into the alley.

Guan Xiaobin was indeed at home at the moment, he was leaning on the rocking chair on the balcony, quietly reading the book in his hand.

In the cool autumn breeze, sit quietly in the fragrance of flowers.

It's his favorite way to relax when he's not at work.As long as he sits on the balcony with a book and a cup of tea, he can sit quietly for most of the day.

Hong Xing walked to the end of the alley, and finally saw the five-story house that the proprietress of the steamed stuffed bun shop mentioned, she couldn't help but trot forward two steps excitedly.

This place should be Guan Xiaobin's home, right?

Standing under the house, she looked up to the direction of the second floor, and saw a clump of black hair protruding from the balcony—there was someone on the balcony!
"Guan Xiaobin, are you home?" She suddenly shouted to the balcony on the second floor.
