Liu Lu took the little guys' hands and looked at the gate of the compound, feeling a little curious and nervous.

It was her first time in a place like this, and she had only heard of it before.

Zhang Ran looked at her and smiled: "Don't be nervous, when the time comes, you can just call Uncle Xia directly, and treat it as an ordinary elder." ”

Zhang Ran was going to come alone at the beginning, but this time Liu Lu had already brought four little guys over.

If he didn't bring them this time, it was estimated that Xia Changqing would scold him to death, so he brought them together.

Liu Lu nodded, but did not speak, this mentality cannot be changed in a while.

Zhang Ran asked the doorman to call Xia Changqing here, and then it didn't take long to see Xia Changqing trotting over with small steps, followed by a young girl, "Dad, slow down, don't fall!"

Xia Changqing ignored his daughter, and when he saw that familiar face, he subconsciously slowed down.

"Lao Xia, what's wrong?, old friends don't know each other?" Zhang Ran said with a smile, and at the same time opened his arms.

Xia Changqing looked at Zhang Ran as he did back then, and finally came back to his senses, walked quickly to Zhang Ran's side, and hugged Zhang Ran heavily.

"It's good for you guy to see you again!" Xia Changqing just said this sentence in the end.

Xia Wen on the side also looked at Zhang Ran curiously, she didn't expect that the old friend that her father and mother were going to receive in the afternoon would look so young.

Zhang Ran let go of him with a smile, "Okay, what will I hold with you old man, come to the eldest niece, give one to my uncle!"

Xia Changqing was immediately anxious when he heard this, "Zhang Ran, you give me honesty!"

However, Zhang Ran just talked about it, and did not make actual movements, but stretched out his posture to shake hands.

Although Xia Wen was still very curious, she quickly shook hands with Zhang Ran and introduced herself: "Hello Uncle Zhang, my name is Xia Wen, you can just call me Xiaowen." ”

Zhang Ran said to Xia Changqing: "Look at your daughter, look at you again." ”

Saying that, Zhang Ran also introduced Liu Lu to them, "Her name is Liu Lu, she is my daughter-in-law, he is Zhang Xiaotao, my grandson, Zhang Su, my granddaughter, Linton, Lin Se, my friend's son." ”

Auston and they have always had names, all with Lin Mei's surname, and Lin Mei also saved trouble when she took her name, and directly cut off a word in their name and installed it.

"Hello Grandpa Xia. "Say hello to Crispy and Taotao at the same time.

"Hello Uncle Xia. "These are the Auston brothers.

Xia Changqing looked at the four cute little guys, and suddenly there were folds on his old face, and he hurriedly agreed one by one.

Then he looked at Liu Lu, "Your daughter-in-law?" Xia Changqing was a little puzzled, although he knew that Zhang Ran was back, but he was not very clear about the specific situation, it was impossible for him to investigate Zhang Ran, even if he had a very good relationship with Zhang Ran.

"I'll tell you the details later, what's the matter? Just keep us standing outside? Are you so hospitable?" Zhang Ran looked around and said.

Xia Changqing then remembered, patted his head and said: "Look at my brain, please come in, you too, why don't you call me directly? Why do you call Xiao Liu first?

This is something that Zhang Ran called Liu Yang before he said it.

"I'm talking to you, can I get through your mobile phone?" Zhang Ran said angrily.

Xia Changqing also understood, and set up his own private mobile phone in order not to be disturbed.

Xia Changqing laughed twice and didn't speak, and hurriedly led the way.

Liu Lu has been silently following behind her except for the first hello, at first she didn't know Xia Changqing's identity, but when everyone she met respectfully called him Secretary Xia, Liu Lu understood even if she was stupid.

She suddenly became nervous at this time, she didn't expect that her father-in-law's old friend was actually the leader of Yishi, and it seemed that he had a very good relationship.

Who else does this father-in-law know? This is Liu Lu's only thought now.

Originally, she thought that she was almost used to it, after all, it was Prince Hayman at the beginning, and then Huo Zhiyuan and Taylor came.

But now Liu Lu still feels a little surprised, in fact, the reason is very simple, after all, Prince Hayman is too far away from Liu Lu's previous life, so in addition to the surprise at the beginning, he quickly recovered.

But Xia Changqing is different, although it is relatively strange and distant, but Liu Lu has such a concept in his heart, so he will be more nervous and apprehensive than seeing Prince Haiman.

Zhang Ran and Xia Changqing walked to the gate of the No. 1 courtyard, and saw a middle-aged woman in her forties and fifties looking towards her from afar.

After seeing Zhang Ran, excitement and joy suddenly appeared on her face, and tears slipped down her eyes that had been vicissitudes.

"Brother Zhang, it's okay if you're okay, I know that good people will definitely be rewarded. Chang Meilan said in a choked tone.

"Haha, girl, I'm crying, it's the first time I've met in such a long time, come and hug one. As he spoke, Zhang Ran opened his arms.

Xia Changqing on the side didn't say anything this time, just watched quietly, he knew the relationship between his wife and Zhang Ran, it could be said that Zhang Ran saved Chang Meilan's life back then, and also changed the fate of their entire village.

Moreover, Xia Changqing and Chang Meilan were also introduced to each other by Zhang Ran, and Zhang Ran is really the matchmaker for the two of them.

"Okay, Zhang Ran, you can do it, do you really want to take advantage of my wife?" Originally, Xia Changqing didn't care, but when he saw Zhang Ran holding his daughter-in-law and not letting go, his face suddenly darkened.

"What are you talking about, Brother Zhang, don't pay attention to him, this guy is inexplicable, come in quickly, I made you a lot of dishes you liked back then, I don't know if you are still used to eating now. Before Zhang Ran could speak, Chang Meilan glared at Xia Changqing.

Xia Changqing was speechless for a moment, and Xia Wen on the side was stunned to see all this, when did her mother become so open?

At this time, she became more and more confused about the relationship between this young Uncle Zhang and their family.

"I said Zhang Ran, you just bring this thing, are you embarrassed to come?" Xia Changqing was scolded by his daughter-in-law, and he didn't dare to trouble his daughter-in-law, so he could only sprinkle his anger on Zhang Ran, and he had nothing to do.

Zhang Ran glanced at the things he brought, "I dare to send it, do you dare to take it?"

"What don't you dare? If you dare to send me, you dare to take it, just say it stingily, don't find any reason. Xia Changqing didn't hesitate at all.

Xia Wen didn't speak at the moment, she felt that her father had changed since she saw this Uncle Zhang.

When did my father actually dislike people to give things cheaper, once someone gave something more expensive, he would immediately let people take it, and never accepted expensive gifts.

"Let's talk about it when you retire, by the way, this is a gift for Xiaowen, Xiaowen, don't mind, it's not a good thing, when will your father retire, and when will Uncle Zhang make it up to you." Zhang Ran took out a gift box and said.

It was really not a valuable item, it was just a small earring worth two or three thousand that Zhang Ran bought in the mall.
