Chapter 408 A Distinguished Visitor 2
At ten o'clock, they cooked noodles for Xi Bao, used the stewed bone soup to feed him, coaxed him to sleep, and asked the children to watch him. The couple returned to the kitchen to prepare lunch. Not long after, they heard someone knocking on the door outside, but the voice was not clear.
"It's snowing heavily outside, who has nothing to do to come out to visit?"
"You go and see, maybe it's Dad or Uncle Xu." Because the food at home is good, he is used to locking the door.
"Yes, yes, my wife, I'll go right away, you wait until I come back to cook, don't work alone." Lu Jiang said, while motioning her to lock the things that cannot be seen by outsiders in the cupboard first, and then he went to open the door himself. Standing at the door was a middle-aged man covered in snow and pushing a bicycle. He had thick eyebrows and was intimidating without anger.
"Who are you?" Lu Jiang asked in confusion. He felt that the person in front of him was a little familiar.
"Ah Jiang, who is it?" Feng Qingxue followed him out of the kitchen.
Lu Jiang turned sideways to let her see the person at the door clearly. He didn't know him, maybe he was an acquaintance of his wife.
As a result, Feng Qingxue didn't recognize him either, and said crisply: "Comrade, who are you looking for?"
The middle-aged man said politely: "Excuse me, are you Comrade Lu Jiang and Comrade Feng Qingxue?"
"Yes, who are you?"
Hearing Feng Qingxue admit his identity, the middle-aged man immediately smiled, and a cloud of white mist covered his face.
"Comrades, I am Cheng Baoguo. My mother said yesterday that she met her lifesaver. She was very excited. She found out your address and insisted on visiting in person to thank you. It's snowing so heavily, how dare I let you two go out? It happened that I didn't go to work today, so I came here by myself. Please forgive me for my presumptuous visit."
Feng Qingxue was dumbfounded, "Mayor Cheng? I didn't tell Aunt Cheng the address, how did you find him?"
"Qingxue, please ask Mayor Cheng to sit in the room first." Lu Jiang reminded.
"Yes, yes, yes." Feng Qingxue reacted, "It's snowing heavily, it's cold outside, Mayor Cheng, please come inside, Ah Jiang, push Mayor Cheng's bicycle to the west side room, don't leave it outside to freeze."
"Bicycles are not people, they can't freeze, comrades, stop working. Also, just call me Cheng Baoguo."
Cheng Baoguo took down a basket hanging on the bicycle, which was covered with an oilcloth. He shook off the snowflakes and covered it again.
That's what he said, but how could Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue dare to call him by his name without courtesy?
Lu Jiang shook his head desperately, "I dare not, I dare not."
Feng Qingxue said, "Let's call you Comrade Cheng Baoguo, Comrade Cheng, please come in."
The children who were reading by the fire in the house saw the guests coming, and they all stood up to greet them, rolling their eyes.
"Ah Cheng, take your brother and Xiaoyun to your room to read. Tianjun, go and call grandpa first, and tell him that there are distinguished guests at home."
"Hey! OK!" Lu Tianjun put down the cradle with Xi Bao.
After the children left, Lu Jiang asked Cheng Baoguo to sit down.
Feng Qingxue looked at the cradle, turned around and poured hot water for Cheng Baoguo, saying, "How did Comrade Cheng find our family?"
Cheng Baoguo put the basket he brought at his feet, took the enamel pot, and said with a smile, "Comrade Qingxue is a model for not leaving her name and address when doing good things. My mother felt very sorry, so she asked around at the grocery store, but didn't find out anything useful. So she asked around outside and found the post office, but didn't find out anything. Then she heard that the mule cart had stopped at the gate of the Mining Bureau for a long time, so she went there and found Comrade Wang Zhengguo. There was no need to ask around anymore."
Can you still do this? Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue looked at each other.
