When Zhang Xiaoloong heard this voice, he immediately retracted his hand that was about to push open the door.
The person inside was naturally the Village Head's wife, Lee Xiulian. Judging from her tone, she must be angry at Wang Tiezhu again.
The Village Head was famous for being afraid of his wife, and almost everything depended on his great-grandmother. But even so, this great-grandmother would still appear every few days.
According to seniority, Zhang Xiaoloong had to call Lee Xiulian grandmother, but this grandmother of his was indeed too young. She was only in her early thirties, and she was also good-looking.
As an old man in his forties or fifties, Wang Tiezhu was naturally merciful when he got married to such a treasure. It wasn't strange for him to be afraid of a wife, as he kept his mouth open for fear of losing it.
From what she had said just now, Lee Xiulian clearly treated Zhang Xiaoloong as Wang Tiezhu. No matter what, it was not the right time to go in.
Grandma Zhu, I have something to talk to Grandpa of Zhuzi. Since Grandpa of Zhuzi is not at home, I'll have to trouble you to inform him. I'll come back tomorrow morning. Zhang Xiaoloong stepped back outside the cotton curtain before he spoke.
After all, the other party was a young woman. If he told her through the gap in the door, even if he didn't have any bad intentions, others would still feel embarrassed.
Just as she was about to walk back, the door opened with a creak. The cotton was also lifted, revealing Lee Xiulian with her shoulder-length curly hair.
”Huh?” Seeing Zhang Xiaoloong, he exclaimed in surprise, only then did he come back to his senses and said enthusiastically, ”Isn't this Xiaoloong? ”Why did you come to my house today to play? Come in quickly, it's cold outside, come inside to warm up.”
Glancing outside again, he began to giggle at the big wolfdog, ”I was wondering why this stupid dog didn't bark today. We, the top scholar of Qinghe Village, all have the aura of immortals of Literari Star.”
While he was talking, his eyes continuously looked Zhang Xiaoloong up and down. He felt very strange in his heart.
It wasn't that she hadn't seen Zhang Xiaoloong before, but this time, she felt different from the bookish, silly kid from before. He looked stronger and more pleasing to the eyes, especially with a special fragrance that made people want to smell closer when they touched him.
Lee Xiulian also knew that it wasn't a real fragrance, but the smell of a man. Compared to the old bones at home, if one looked at this dazzling young man, it was as if he had smelled a deadly fragrance.
”No, I'll be going back first since Grandpa of Zhuzi isn't at home.” Zhang Xiaoloong felt it was inconvenient to be invited, and since he wasn't in a hurry, he said, ”I think it's better if I come back tomorrow morning.”
”Tsk, look at you, kid. If you're not home, then my words won't work, right?” Lee Xiulian's face turned sullen as she pretended to be angry. ”Come on in, help me with this.”
Zhang Xiaoloong heard that Ye Zichen wanted him to work, so he had no choice but to follow him into the house.
Even though it was heated up by his own fire, the house of the village chief was tightly sealed inside and outside. It was truly warm inside.
There were some junk scattered on the floor. Luckily, the room was big, so it didn't seem crowded.
The furniture was quite new, especially a large dressing table. It looked like it had just been bought, and there were piles of small items scattered on it. It seemed like this grandma would normally spend all her time and effort on it.
The air in the room was still moist and had a slightly fragrant smell. It was probably because someone had just taken a bath here, and the smell of the shower gel had yet to dissipate.
