Chapter 653: Chapter 653: Returning to Hometown 7_1

That night, He Zhilan and He Dongxue shared a bed; this was the first time in many years the sisters had been so attached to each other.

"Sister-in-law, is the capital big? Are the people in the capital easy to get along with?" For He Dongxue, she was now curious and looking forward to the capital.

"The capital is one of the largest cities in our country, naturally it’s big and prosperous. Walking on the streets of the capital, you can see foreigners everywhere, blond and blue-eyed, and there are also restaurants owned by foreigners. The boss I worked for during my winter vacation last year was a foreigner, and he was really nice." He Zhilan replied honestly, "As for others, it depends on how you interact with them. Just like there’s day and night in this world, people also have their good and bad."

The two chatted about various school situations, college life, high school life, their aspirations for the future, and everything about their future until they gradually fell asleep late at night.

The next morning, He Zhilan and He Dongxue got up early and went to their aunt’s house in town, because He Zhongguo was still concerned about the farm and did not go with them.

He Hongmei was preparing to go upstairs after buying vegetables early in the morning. She saw the two sisters holding hands at the entrance of the stairs heading upstairs and called out to them with joy.

"Dongxue! Zhilan! Wow! It really is the two of you! I thought I was mistaken. When did you come back, Zhilan? You’ve grown taller and thinner, studying must be draining, right?" He Hongmei smiled at them.

"Auntie, let me help you carry some of these things." He Zhilan pursed her lips and took some of the load from He Hongmei.

He Dongxue also stepped forward to help, laughing as she said, "Auntie, you have foresight, huh? You knew my sister-in-law and I were coming today, and you bought so many delicious foods?"

"You two! We have guests at home today, and you two took this opportunity to come together!" He Hongmei shook her head, and when she saw them eagerly helping her, she didn’t decline, "Your uncle’s leader is visiting, remember to greet him sweetly when you go upstairs, alright?"

"Don’t worry, auntie, we know. We won’t lose face by playing dumb!" He Dongxue responded and casually asked if Liang Jing was at home.

When the three arrived, apart from Liang Jing and Liang Tao, there was indeed a strange face in the Liang Family home. According to what He Hongmei had said downstairs, it was a leader from the county.

Upon entry, the two sisters greeted the elders. Liang Tao was stunned when he saw He Zhilan, as he didn’t know she was coming back already. So, he was also a bit happy, and introduced He Zhilan to his leader. After all, she was the first person from the county to be admitted to Capital University, and she was his niece. This was something to be proud of and to boast about.

Knowing the adults were discussing matters, He Zhilan and He Dongxue greeted everyone and then tactfully led He Dongxue to Liang Jing’s room.

"The county leader seems quite approachable? I thought he would have a fierce look," He Dongxue mumbled softly after entering the room.

"Who knows, I have seen him once at my dad’s unit before, he didn’t smile like the Maitreya Buddha as he is doing today." Liang Jing yawned and responded, "Why are you two here so early? By the way, Sister-in-law Zhilan, when did you come back? I heard from my uncle that you wouldn’t be back for a few days? He also said you’re going to C Province soon, right?"
