Chapter 2719

Xin Jing covered her mouth and laughed, then said, "Vice Mayor Su really knows how to talk. I'm a middle school student? My daughter is already a middle school student!"

Su Xinghui looked at her and said, "Really? Then it's really hard to tell. You look at most thirty years old like this."

Xin Jing's usual outfit indeed made her look more mature. This look today at least made her look a few years younger. Su Xinghui was not just flattering her randomly.

Xin Jing said, "Vice Mayor Su, you are so good at talking, then your wife must also be a great beauty?"

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "This is not bragging, my wife is indeed very beautiful."

Xin Jing asked, "Then when will she come to see you?"

Su Xinghui said, "I called yesterday, and she said she had to work overtime this week, and she should come next week."

Xin Jing said, "Then I will have to appreciate the great beauty well."

The two of them chatting and laughing made the strangeness between them disappear a lot. Although Su Xinghui didn't have any strange thoughts, being able to chat and laugh with such a delicate woman could be considered a pleasant thing.

After chatting with Su Xinghui for a while, Xin Jing said, "Then you practice boxing slowly, I'm going for a run."

Su Xinghui nodded and saw Xin Jing running toward the outside of the small woods. Su Xinghui also collected his mind and practiced boxing with concentration.

After practicing boxing, Su Xinghui had breakfast, went home to take a shower, and read a book for a while. Near ten o'clock, Xia Song came over, and the two went out together.

They had an appointment to have dinner at Zhai Yingjie's house today, and Su Xinghui wanted to go early. He wanted to have a good chat with Zhai Yingjie.

The two didn't let Zhang Heping drive, so they walked to Zhai Yingjie's house. Zhai Yingjie's house was not very far from the barbecue stall he opened, and it was only two kilometers away from the municipal government. Walking there was not very far.

Su Xinghui looked at the shops on both sides of the street while walking. After walking for about twenty minutes, they arrived at an alley. Xia Song took Su Xinghui into the alley and knocked on the door of a small courtyard.

The door was opened quickly. It was Zhai Yingjie who opened the door. He was wearing an apron and had blood on his hands. It seemed he was preparing something.

He saw Su Xinghui and Xia Song at a glance and said happily, "Vice Mayor Su, Secretary Xia, you are here. Come in and sit down. I'm killing a fish, and I'm quite dirty. Don't mind."

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "Don't make it too complicated, we are quite casual about eating."

Zhai Yingjie said, "Not complicated, not complicated, just some home-cooked meals. You go into the room and sit down, I'll come to accompany you after I kill the fish."

Entering the courtyard, Zhai Yingjie closed the door and let Su Xinghui and Xia Song into the main room. There was a large iron stove burning in the main room, making the room warm. Zhai Yingjie shouted "Qianqian, Xiao Man, the guests are here," and then let Su Xinghui and Xia Song sit at a square table.

Qianqian and Xiao Man came over from the kitchen. They were also very happy to see Su Xinghui and Xia Song. Xiao Man hurriedly ran to pour a cup of tea for each of them and placed it on the square table. Qianqian went to get some melon seeds, peanuts, and fruits, placed them on the square table, and said, "Vice Mayor Su, Secretary Xia, have something to eat."

Zhai Yingjie smiled shyly, completely different from the ruthless person that day. He said, "Vice Mayor Su, Secretary Xia, you sit first, I'll go kill the fish."

Qianqian said, "Don't kill the fish, wash your hands, Xiao Man and I will cook, you accompany Vice Mayor Su and Secretary Xia to sit."

Zhai Yingjie was the only man in the family who stood up to support the door. Two male guests came, so naturally, only Zhai Yingjie could accompany them. Zhai Yingjie then realized that his words were indeed problematic, so he nodded and said, "Okay, Qianqian, you cook today."

Qianqian poured a basin of water, let Zhai Yingjie wash the blood off his hands, and then went out with Xiao Man. Zhai Yingjie then sat down with Su Xinghui and Xia Song.

Su Xinghui asked, "Is this your home?"

This courtyard was not big, the house was at most fifty or sixty square meters, and the age of the house didn't look short, at least much older than Zhai Yingjie's age. There were not many valuable things in the house, but it was very neat and clean. It seemed that the housewife was very capable.

Zhai Yingjie said, "Yes, this is my home. My whole family lived here before. Later, my parents passed away, and only my sister and I were left in the family. This year I married my wife, and there are three people in the family."

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "That's not bad. You can be considered to have a home. You also married a good wife. Is the barbecue stall business good?"

Zhai Yingjie said, "Yes, I married a good wife. She is beautiful and capable, but she just likes me. With my family's conditions, she is willing to follow me. It's my uselessness that made her suffer!"

Speaking of this, Zhai Yingjie's voice was a bit low. Although the barbecue stall business was good and he made a lot of money, in such cold weather, he had to set up a stall every night, the cold wind was biting, and he had to suffer the anger of some low-quality customers. This was not a pleasant experience, and Qianqian really suffered a lot following him.

Su Xinghui said, "As long as you are willing to work hard, life will always get better and better. When your life gets better, you can treat her well. Don't learn from those Chen Shimei."

Zhai Yingjie said solemnly, "Vice Mayor Su, rest assured, no matter how useless I, Zhai Yingjie, am, it's impossible to do such beastly things!"

Su Xinghui nodded. From the incident that night, he could see that Zhai Yingjie was indeed a righteous man. He asked, "Then how old is your sister this year? Doesn't she go to school?"

Zhai Yingjie said, "My sister is nineteen this year. She graduated from high school but didn't get into college."

Su Xinghui said, "Then are you planning to keep this barbecue stall going?"
