Li Hongjuan cooked all the lunch for us, which were simple home-cooked meals, including a big pot of the beans that Tuantuan loved to eat, a bowl of stir-fried pork with green peppers, a big bowl of stir-fried bitter melon with spicy sauce, and a big bowl of tomatoes mixed with sugar.

Tuantuan doesn’t like bitter melon, but he eats all other dishes. He even ate several pieces of pork fried with green peppers, and his mouth turned red from the spiciness.

After dinner, the couple poured water for their son to wash, and then took him back to the room for a nap.

Ji Luo woke up after sleeping for only half an hour. The team leader had just received a call from the commune saying that the county leaders were on the way. She immediately got up and packed up.

Chen Zhifeng came over after having lunch at his uncle's house. Ji Bingqing and her son did not come under the scorching sun, but took a nap at his uncle's house. As soon as he arrived at the team, he went to find Ji Luo. Seeing that Ji Shengli and the others had returned, he went to ask him about the situation of the county party committee leaders first.

Ji Luo usually dressed simply, but today he had to meet his boss to discuss a business contract, so he dressed up carefully in the house, changing into a polka-dot short-sleeved shirt with a bow tie and a pair of cropped grey trousers, looking fresh, capable and fashionable.

"Brother Yan, is it okay?"

Ren Rongyan lay on the bed and watched her change her clothes, with a smile on his face: "It looks good."

She is tall and slender, with beautiful curves. Especially after giving birth, she has a unique feminine charm. Even if she is simply dressed, she looks amazing.

When Chen Zhifeng urged him outside, Ji Luo came forward, hugged him and kissed him, "Mr. Ren, stay at home and take care of the children."

Ren Rongyan smiled as he put his arms around her waist. He was not satisfied with the brief kiss and pulled her to deepen the passionate kiss. When she was a little out of breath, he let go of his charming wife.

No one else in the Ji family took a nap, as if they all took this matter very seriously. They were all sitting next to Ji Dalin, enjoying the fan and chatting.

When the captain came over, Ji Luo just came out with a bag, "Captain, are they here?"

"Not yet. I came to see if you were ready and to borrow a fan from Dalin."

The captain had already packed up his office, took out his own fan, and came to borrow another one. Seeing that the two leaders of the home textile factory were dressed very formally, he looked down at his clothes and asked them, "Should I go back and change my clothes?"

"Change it, and let your aunt put on some makeup for you." Ji Luo joked.

"Haha." Everyone in the Ji family laughed.

The captain himself laughed and said, "I won't put on makeup on this face. I can't bear the responsibility of scaring the leaders."

After Liu Hongyu brought the electric fan over, Ji Luo looked at Ji Shengli and said, "Come on, follow us."

Ji Shengli was unprepared, but when he saw that she wanted to go with him, he understood what she meant and raised his lips: "You go first, I'll change my clothes and come right over."

Ji Luo and the others left first. Liu Hongyu immediately ran into the house and hurriedly took out the shirt she had given to her son. "Shengli, put on this shirt quickly. Ji Luo bought it for you. She will take you to meet the county party committee leaders. You must behave well."

"I know." Ji Shengli didn't need her to remind him.

"Old lady, go get the dried fruits that Ji Luo's mother-in-law sent yesterday and have Shengli take them to entertain the leaders. Take more."

Old Man Ji was also making arrangements. He was usually a miser who kept all the good things in the cupboard and was reluctant to eat them. But today, in order to show his grandson in front of the leader, he was generous for once.

Mrs. Ji gave her grandson a bag of dried fruits and some candies. Wang Yaping also gave him the watermelon she had bought in the morning and asked him to take it to the team office to entertain the leaders.

The team leader led the village cadres and Ji Luo to greet them at the entrance of the village. After waiting for about five minutes, the leaders arrived on a tractor arranged by the commune.

The secretary of the Nanxi County Party Committee was newly appointed. Apart from the commune leaders who had met him, even the team leader had only been heard of as a young reformist sent by the province, and no one had met him yet.

The people in the team rarely get to see the county leaders, but today, there was no need for the team leader to notify them, as most of the neighbors came in the scorching sun to welcome the leaders.

The tractor stopped at the door of the production team office. A group of leaders got off the car and greeted the people. The young Secretary Qian introduced himself first and shook hands with the older elders one by one, behaving very cordially and down-to-earth.

After greeting the common people, Secretary Qian looked at Ji Luo with a smile, "Top Scholar, long time no see, do you still remember me?"

From the moment he got off the car, Ji Luo had been staring at him. This face seemed familiar. She was sure she had seen it somewhere, but she couldn't remember where.

But his address just now reminded her. The memory came to her mind at that moment, and she smiled brightly: "On the day when my wife and I won the first place in the imperial examination, it was Secretary Qian who gave us the big red flowers."

Seeing that she remembered, Secretary Qian smiled and shook hands with her: "Long time no see, how have you been studying at Peking University these past two years?"

"Thank you Secretary Qian for your concern. Campus life at Peking University is rich and colorful, and the workload is very heavy. Every day is busy and fulfilling." Ji Luo smiled faintly.

"Despite your heavy workload at university, you still found time to run a factory. In just two years, you opened two home textile factories in Shacheng and Yangcheng, and managed them very well. You managed both your studies and your business. You are indeed the top student in the province with a high IQ. No wonder Comrade Lin Shizong always praises you for your excellence."

Ji Luo's eyes flickered when he heard this, and he smiled modestly, "Secretary Qian is very familiar with Lin Shizong?"

"I'm sure I'm not as familiar with you guys."

Secretary Qian kept the question a secret and asked, "I heard that he started to work hard as soon as he returned to Kyoto. How is it going now?"

"It must be done in a grand manner. As soon as he arrived in Kyoto, he held a grand event and emptied our savings. Now he is coming at us with ideas one after another. I am afraid to see him now. As soon as he comes to my house or calls me, I know that the little money in my pocket will be gone."

"Haha, he is just a locust. Wherever he goes, nothing is left." Secretary Qian laughed.

Ji Luo's eyes moved slightly, and he raised his eyebrows: "It seems that Secretary Qian has also been deeply harmed by this."

"We are far apart, so he only takes advantage of you occasionally. You are both in Kyoto, and you are a fat sheep, so he will definitely catch you and take advantage of you continuously." Secretary Qian could guess it with his toes.

Ji Luo smiled playfully: "It's okay, he plucked my hair, I shaved his flesh, I can't suffer a loss anyway."

"It's amazing that I can scrape some flesh off him."

Secretary Qian knew Lin Shizong's family background. He was the son of a high-ranking official in the Kyoto compound. Ordinary people could not get access to such connections. The fact that Ji Luo and the others had such a good relationship with him was enough to show that she was not an ordinary peasant girl.
