"Right, right, right, you're absolutely right!"

Zhang Zhongtian still agreed with a beaming smile.

He also said:

"If it meant I could have two more sons, I wouldn't mind being poor; if my son could get into Tsinghua, I'd be willing to be so poor I'd eat dirt. Changgen, speaking honestly, I really envy you. In ancient times, your youngest son would be a top scorer in the imperial exams — that brings glory to the family!"

Zhang Zhongtian's words immediately satisfied Wang Zhanggen's vanity.

He smiled with satisfaction:

"Party Secretary Zhang, you don't need to envy me. Every family has its good points, every family has its difficulties. I still envy you for your son marrying and having children so early!"

The three chatted in the car, and before they knew it they had arrived at the gate of Niu Chunsheng's residential complex.

Niu Chunsheng had come to the complex gate early to welcome them.

Seeing Zhang Zhongtian's small sedan approaching, he hurriedly waved.

Zhang Zhongtian drove the car up to Niu Chunsheng and greeted him with a beaming smile:

"General Manager Niu, truly sorry to have kept you waiting."

Niu Chunsheng was very warm, without any airs:

"What General Manager Niu? I'm just a migrant worker too. Call me Chunsheng."

Then he also hurriedly greeted Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan:

"Brother Changgen, Sister-in-law Xiulan, have you eaten breakfast?"

"We've eaten, we ate before coming to the county town." Li Xiulan replied with a smile.

Seeing Niu Chunsheng about to open the rear door and sit in the back row with Li Xiulan, Wang Zhanggen immediately felt displeased.

He hurriedly got out from the passenger seat:

"General Manager Niu, you're the big boss, you sit in the passenger seat!"

Although Wang Zhanggen spoke humble words, his expression had long since turned sour, and his gaze at Niu Chunsheng carried hostility.

Seeing him like this, Niu Chunsheng thought to himself that this Wang Zhanggen really was a neurotic.

By now Li Xiulan had already become old and ugly; if he still had improper thoughts about her, his brain would have to be flooded.

But he couldn't possibly go and explain anything to Wang Zhanggen.

He just said with a beaming smile:

"Alright then, I'll sit in the passenger seat. Thanks for thinking so highly of me, Brother Changgen — flattered!"

Zhang Zhongtian said with a smile:

"Chunsheng, you're so capable now, of course you deserve respect. If I weren't afraid you're not used to driving this little beat-up car of mine, I'd even want to let you have the driver's seat!"

Niu Chunsheng beamed:

"Party Secretary Zhang, you really know how to joke!"

Wang Zhanggen, now seated in the back, chimed in at this moment:

"This has nothing to do with respect or not. We're driving into the garage, right? I just simply think it's more convenient for Chunsheng to guide us from the passenger seat."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhongtian felt Wang Zhanggen's words really didn't give Niu Chunsheng any face.

Fortunately Niu Chunsheng didn't seem to mind much, and even agreed with a smile:

"Right, right, right. Sitting in the passenger seat makes it easier to guide you. Party Secretary Zhang, go ahead. Turn left up ahead and you'll enter the garage. Once inside you still have to wind around a stretch; without someone guiding, you really wouldn't find your way to my building's basement level."

The small sedan moved forward slowly and soon entered the underground garage.

Sure enough, just as Niu Chunsheng said, they still had to wind around the underground garage for a good while before reaching the basement level one below Niu Chunsheng's home.

"Why is this garage so winding? Too hard to navigate. I'd rather park on the surface!"

Seeing the dim garage twist and turn, taking a good while to reach the destination, Li Xiulan couldn't help but say this.

"I'd like to park on the surface too, but there are no spaces. It's inconvenient every time we go out."

Niu Chunsheng said this with a smile.

Wang Zhanggen said:

"Living in the rural area is still more comfortable. The car just parks in your own courtyard."

Zhang Zhongtian asked at this point:

"How much is the underground parking fee per month in your complex?"

Niu Chunsheng answered honestly:

"300 yuan a month."

Zhang Zhongtian nodded:

"Same as the complex I just bought in. What about buying a parking space? How much for one space?"

"Fifty thousand for one."

"About the same."

"Which complex did you buy in, Party Secretary Zhang?"

"Shengfeikang City, the one not far down from the expressway intersection."

"Oh, that place. I've heard of it. Friends bought there too. It's a new development, heard it's not bad, and the price isn't high either."

"Not high? It's four thousand per square meter!"

Zhang Zhongtian and Niu Chunsheng chatted for a while, and Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan couldn't get a word in.

"Chunsheng, I brought you a chicken down here, a home-raised rooster, hasn't eaten a bit of feed!"

Li Xiulan said something like this at this time.

"Sister-in-law Xiulan, since you're here, you're here, why bring a chicken too, you're really thoughtful, thank you so much!"

Niu Chunsheng hurriedly smiled and thanked her.

"No need to be polite, I should be thanking you instead, you let Xiao Hua tutor at your home, that's giving him a job opportunity!"

Zhang Zhongtian said at this time:

"General Manager Niu, I also brought you some hand gifts, two bottles of wine, two packs of cigarettes, nothing valuable, please accept them with a smile!"

Zhang Zhongtian hurriedly handed over the cigarettes and wine he had bought, and Niu Chunsheng hurriedly smiled and responded:

"Party Secretary Zhang, you're being too polite!"

The four of them took the elevator up to the eighth floor together.

When entering the elevator, Niu Chunsheng deliberately went in first to block the elevator door, so that they wouldn't get pinched when getting on the elevator.

The rooster Li Xiulan was holding in her hand clucked, because the elevator was an enclosed space, so before long a smell of chicken manure emanated.

At this time, the rooster dropped a pile of chicken manure, which happened to leak out from the torn hole in the snake skin bag.

Seeing this, Wang Zhanggen couldn't help but scold Li Xiulan a few sentences:

"I told you not to bring this thing, but you still brought it! Chunsheng can just go to the vegetable market to buy chicken meat if he wants to eat it! Look at you, now you've dirtied other people's elevator! Really embarrassing!"

Li Xiulan said with a cold face:

"How would I know it would poop at this time? Is this something I can control?"

Seeing that this couple was about to start arguing over a single word, Niu Chunsheng hurriedly smoothed things over:

"It's fine, it's fine, I'll clean up the chicken manure, the chicken you brought isn't worth much money, but I accept your thoughtfulness, I'm very grateful to you!"

Niu Chunsheng hurriedly took out a pack of tissues from his pocket, pulled out a tissue, and went to wipe the chicken manure off the floor.

Before long, the elevator arrived at the eighth floor.

Niu Chunsheng led them to the front of his home door, pressed the fingerprint, and opened the door lock.

"Come in and sit!"

Niu Chunsheng warmly greeted them, and then shouted to Lin Xiaofang:

"Wife, Brother Changgen, Sister-in-law Xiulan, and Party Secretary Zhang are here, hurry up and brew tea for them!"

Lin Xiaofang hurriedly walked over and handed over three pairs of shoe covers.

"Put on shoe covers and come in."

Seeing Li Xiulan still bringing this chicken over, she exclaimed:

"Why did you bring a live chicken over?"

Li Xiulan smiled and handed it over:

"Xiao Fang, this is for you, a home-raised farm chicken, very delicious!"

Lin Xiaofang smiled bitterly and didn't take it right away:

"In this house, I'm afraid it's not good to kill a chicken here……"

Niu Chunsheng hurriedly came over and said:

"Sister-in-law Xiulan's thoughtfulness, you just accept it, if you don't want to kill it, just raise it first, when I have time I'll come kill it, I haven't eaten this kind of farm chicken for a long time, I've been looking forward to this one bite!"

Lin Xiaofang frowned:

"Raise it where? The chicken manure it drops stinks to death."

Niu Chunsheng hurriedly said:

"Raising it in the toilet or on the balcony is fine, don't say so much, just take it inside first."

Niu Chunsheng hurriedly urged, and also said:

"If it gets dirty, I'll clean it up."

Although Lin Xiaofang was unwilling in her heart, she finally agreed.
