The engagement is over, but the black-bellied president won't let go

As expected, as soon as Leng Rufei got off the train, a gust of cold wind rushed into her neck, and she still shivered even with her windbreaker on. If Wen Zijian hadn't asked her to wear a woolen sweater, she would have been a little overwhelmed. This cold in the north... is great!

Because they got off the train a little late, the iron gate leading to the town beside the train platform slowly closed. Leng Ruofei looked curiously at the conductor who signaled them to stop, and was told to wait and they could pass only after the train left.

Wen Zijian couldn't help but frown. He had taken this train before and never got off late. He always followed the crowd. He never knew that he would end up in such a situation if he got off late.

Leng Ruofei knew that he might feel a little guilty, so he quickly said, "It's okay, no hurry, I just happened to go to the platform to see the scenery."

Unable to suppress her joy, she walked back and forth on the platform, looking around curiously.

Some people say that when you are well fed and warm, you will think about sex. Yes, it is really good to be cold. It can make your bloated mind cooler and more active. The Great North is really vast and makes people feel far away from the world.

Laha Town is a small town. Not far from the train station are tall and short houses, some of which are buildings and some are houses. Compared with Mobei, this place is still 20 years behind. People dress very simply.

"Zijian, did you live here when you were a kid?" Leng Ruofei recalled that when she was a kid, the architectural style here was very similar to when she was a kid. She also took the train to and from Mocheng and Mobei. The people at that time were also very enthusiastic, and everyone had a simple look in their eyes.

Maybe it was because I was only concerned with survival when I was young and I was rather indifferent, so I didn't pay attention to those people. Now that I think about it, that should be the case.

"Yes, I was born in Laha Town. I went to college in Mocheng, and later my parents moved there." It's not like Mocheng here. Not only is it cold, but the living conditions are not very good either."

"I like it." Leng Ruofei said with a smile. She was not good at giving compliments, but she really liked it here.

Wen Zijian looked at Leng Ruofei, and seeing that there was no disdain in her eyes, his heart became even warmer. How nice it would be if this girl was his girlfriend.

Uncle Wen Zijian's house was not far from the station, so he asked Leng Ruofei to wait in the waiting hall while he hurried out to get a taxi. Leng Ruofei watched Wen Zijian asking at the station entrance, and it seemed that there were no suitable taxis around. He saw a small van approaching the station from a distance.

Wen Zijian turned around and walked back quickly, holding the box and motioning Leng Ruofei to follow.

Sure enough, the two of them got on the small van. She saw Wen Zijian pay two yuan. There were not many seats on the van, only about a dozen empty seats. Wen Zijian told her that this kind of car was the "public bus" in their town. They called it "waving", which means that you can stop the bus by waving your hand. It costs one yuan to get on the bus no matter where you go.

This reminded Leng Ruofei of the buses in Mocheng more than a decade ago. When traveling from Mocheng to Mobei, you could wave your hand to stop the bus at any time. In order to carry more people, the driver would honk at pedestrians on the roadside from time to time to confirm whether they intended to get on the bus. In Mocheng now, there are no more buses that stop randomly. They will stop at the station in a proper manner. As the rules are changed, the simple flavor is gradually fading away.

The bus stopped there. Because it was the starting point and the bus was not full, we had to wait for more than ten minutes. Passengers got on the bus one after another, and the bus gradually became lively.

"My second uncle's house is not far from here, and it only takes about five minutes to walk there. There are few taxis here, and because it is very convenient to take a 'waving' taxi, many people even choose to walk. Even to the bustling shops in the town, it only takes half an hour." Wen Zijian looked at Leng Ruofei's curious eyes and said with a smile.

This kind of minibus is no longer seen in Mocheng, and has been replaced by high-end buses. There are still a few routes in the development zone, but they are all high-standard minibuses. A bus like this with ventilation all around and relatively simple seats should be a rare thing in her eyes.

Leng Ruofei smiled and responded: "Very good, it reminds me of my childhood, very kind."

The car started, and Wen Zijian told the conductor that he wanted to go to the bridge. The conductor nodded, and seemed surprised that he had to take the "waving" car when the distance was so short. He then looked at the girl sitting behind him, raised his eyebrows and suddenly realized that he was worried that his girlfriend would get tired of it.

Sure enough, less than a minute after the car started, the conductor shouted, "We've reached the bridgehead, we've reached the bridgehead, get off the car and walk to the door."

Leng Ruofei followed Wen Zijian out of the car. Seeing that Wen Zijian was carrying the thermal box in both hands, he wanted to lend a hand, but how could the man be willing to do so?

"It's in front, Ruofei. My second uncle's family still lives in a bungalow. Grandpa, grandma, and second aunt are at home. I'll go and greet them. If you feel it's inconvenient, we'll stay for a while and then leave." Wen Zijian said, his face a little red. Most of the houses here are relatively simple. Because the second uncle's family has to take care of the two elderly people, they haven't repaired the house for many years. The first time I brought a girl home, I always wanted to make a good impression. But my family has moved to Mocheng.

"Zijian, if you say that again, I'll be angry!" Leng Ruofei's curious big eyes looked around, but he couldn't see everything, so he had no time to listen to Wen Zijian blaming himself.

"Haha." Wen Zijian laughed. For the first time, he felt like he was taking his wife home for the New Year. He thought about this situation. If it was Leng Ruofei, he would be so happy.

After turning into an alley and walking a few steps, Wen Zijian stopped and pointed to a house with a brick wall and an iron gate and said, "We're here. This is it. I didn't tell them in advance because I was worried that they would spend money. Don't mind."

Leng Ruofei smiled with his eyes curved, without saying anything, as if to say, if you are polite again, I will be really angry.

Wen Zijian also smiled, feeling warm in his heart.

"Second Uncle! Is Second Uncle at home? Zijian is back!" After entering the door, Wen Zijian shouted in the yard.

A man walked out of a bungalow in the yard quickly. When he saw Wen Zijian, he was stunned for a moment. Then he asked in surprise, "Zijian! Why are you back?"

Wen Zijian's second uncle was not tall, honest and kind, and in good health. He pulled Wen Zijian into the house and shouted loudly, "Look, everyone at home, Zijian is back!"

As if he suddenly remembered that his eldest nephew brought a girl with him, he turned around and greeted her enthusiastically: "Come on, come on, come inside."

A woman in her forties ran out of the house and excitedly pulled Wen Zijian's hand: "Zijian is back! That's great, come in and talk to grandpa and grandma, they missed you so much!"

Leng Ruofei stepped into the inner room and saw two elderly people sitting on the kang, stretching their necks and looking out. The old lady seemed to have poor eyesight and asked curiously, "Who's here? Is it Dapeng?"

The second aunt chuckled and said, "What Dapeng? It's Zijian, his grandmother, it's the eldest brother's Zijian who is back!"

The old lady's originally listless eyes immediately sparkled with joy: "Zijian? Is it Zijian who's back? Come on to the kang and warm up!"

The old man also smiled and said, "Zijian is back? Where are your parents? Are they back with you?"

The second aunt brought a chair to Leng Ruofei and enthusiastically took her hand to let her sit down: "His grandfather, look, Zijian brought his girlfriend back too! Oh, what a pretty girl!"

When the old lady heard this, she got off the kang and moved closer to Leng Ruofei: "Okay, okay, Zijian has a girlfriend. Okay, who is she from? What's her name? How old is she? Where does she work?"

……

The family questioned him lively. Leng Ruofei wanted to explain that she was not Wen Zijian's girlfriend, but seeing that the old man was so happy, he didn't say much and answered with a smile.

Only Wen Zijian kept explaining one by one: "Grandma, Grandpa, Second Uncle, Second Aunt, Rufei is not my girlfriend, she is just my friend."

"Look, look, you're still shy..." The elders didn't believe it at all.

Wen Zijian looked at Leng Ruofei with an apologetic look in his eyes. Unexpectedly, he saw Leng Ruofei's mischievous smile, which made him feel much happier.

While they were chatting, Wen Zijian's second uncle kept talking on the phone, telling his third uncle, eldest aunt and other aunts that Zijian had brought his girlfriend back to visit his grandparents.

Soon, the house, which was less than 30 square meters, was packed with people. Wen Zijian opened the gifts he brought from Mocheng and gave them to his relatives who came to visit him. The whole family was very lively.

The eldest aunt, the old aunt, and the third aunt were more concerned about Leng Ruofei's existence, and they kept asking about her well-being, and their words of envy and praise could be heard from time to time. Leng Ruofei suddenly felt a surge of warmth in her heart, as if she had never had such an experience before, and she had expected this in her heart countless times.

"Zijian is back, let's be extravagant today and go out to eat!" Second Uncle invited everyone to stay. No one could leave.

To go to a good restaurant in town, the whole family had to wait for a long time to get a taxi. Because people here are very convenient to take the "hail" shuttle, few people take taxis. Because grandpa and grandma are quite old, and the second uncle also wants to have some face in front of his nephew, he insisted on calling two taxis for everyone to take.

The eldest aunt and the second aunt refused to take the bus, saying that they could just walk a few steps to the destination. After sending grandparents to the bus, they walked to the bus and took the "Zhaoshou" bus.

Leng Ruofei was arranged to sit in a car with her grandmother, second aunt, and third aunt. Second aunt did not treat her as an outsider and kept saying that Zijian was lucky to have found a daughter-in-law from a strange city who was both beautiful and educated...

There are shopping malls and restaurants on both sides of the road in Laha Town, and mobile phone stores of various brands broadcast new products and special offers, creating a prosperous scene.

"Our town is small, not comparable to your big cities, but the food tastes good, and it's affordable in the Northeast." Second Aunt saw Leng Ruofei looking at the scenery on the roadside and introduced it with a smile.
