"What are you all chattering about? Lingering at the door for so long instead of coming in. Nuannuan, Xiao Hu, you two hurry, wash your hands, and come eat. The food's getting cold!" From the main hall, Zhang Minzhen had heard the talking and laughing in the courtyard. Growing anxious when no one entered, she stepped outside and chidingly hurried them along.
"Coming."
Luo Xiaohu, who had just parked his bicycle, quickly answered along with Zhang Wei Qiang and Gu Nuannuan. He also went to the well to wash his hands, splashing some water on his face for good measure, before following the other two into the main hall.
"Xiao Hu, take the car back to the city tomorrow. I need to stay here for at least another week. This week, I'm counting on you to keep an eye on things in the city. Handle the small stuff yourself, and call me if anything major comes up," Zhang Wei Qiang said to Luo Xiaohu.
