Chapter 785

Song Qiao smiled and said, "Then you two come back early for lunch at noon!"

Lu Xiaoya took Su Xinghui's arm and said, "Got it, Mom."

Watching their daughter leave with Su Xinghui's arm in hers, Song Qiao's face was full of smiles. Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Old Song, look at you, your face is blooming with joy."

Song Qiao glanced at him and said, "Xinghui is such a good young man, aren't you happy to see it?"

Lu Zheng nodded and said, "Happy, very happy."

Lu Xiaoya, arm in arm with Su Xinghui, left the Provincial Committee compound. Whenever they met acquaintances on the road, they would ask her, "Xiaoya, is this your boyfriend?"

Lu Xiaoya would nod and say, "Yes, this is my boyfriend."

Those they met in the Provincial Committee compound were basically staff members of the Provincial Committee, and they naturally showered Lu Xiaoya and Su Xinghui with all sorts of compliments.

It was one thing for them to compliment Lu Xiaoya, but whenever they praised Su Xinghui, Lu Xiaoya would beam with joy.

The two of them happily left the Provincial Committee compound. Su Xinghui said, "Xiaoya, why don't we go visit Professor Qin? I haven't seen him in a long time. Isn't the Mid-Autumn Festival the day after tomorrow? We can consider it a holiday visit."

Lu Xiaoya nodded and said, "Okay, I haven't seen Professor Qin for a while either."

The two bought some fruit and pastries outside the school; they didn't buy cigarettes or alcohol, as Professor Qin was already sixty years old this year, so they avoided buying things that could affect his health.

Arriving outside Professor Qin's home, Su Xinghui knocked on the door. Professor Qin's wife opened it. Seeing Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya together, she happily called into the house, "Old man, Xinghui and Xiaoya are here."

The two followed Professor Qin's wife into the house. Professor Qin was sitting on the sofa in the living room reading a newspaper. Although the weather wasn't too hot anymore, he was stout and sensitive to heat, so the ceiling fan was still on, just running at a slower speed.

Professor Qin put down the newspaper and smiled, "Xinghui, Xiaoya, you're here."

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "Wasn't there flood control work a while ago? I couldn't leave the township, so I haven't been able to come see you. Since the Mid-Autumn Festival is the day after tomorrow, I came to pay you a visit."

Professor Qin said, "Come, sit down, you two."

Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya put down the things they were carrying and sat down on the sofa.

Professor Qin asked, "I heard you're a township head now."

Su Xinghui said, "I'm still an acting township head."

Professor Qin said, "It seems you're doing quite well there. I heard Old Rao mention it last time, saying you are currently organizing farmers to grow vegetables."

Su Xinghui said, "Since I've taken on this role as acting township head, I have to do some practical work. Growing vegetables can help farmers increase their income."
