Chapter 3 Do I have to make a nest first?

"I don't think you are to blame for this. The wedding process was arranged in advance and there was no last-minute change."

Fearing that it would be awkward to keep silent, Xu Lin took the initiative to start a conversation and comfort Lin Jiang.

"Indeed, I am relieved now."

"Women who have never been married don't understand some things. In marriage, material things are not the most important. Two people being able to accompany each other is more important than anything else."

Xu Lin sighed and said slowly:

"Like you, you have a small shop like this, you can make a decent living, and you still have time left to take care of your family, which is good, so you don't have to feel stressed."

Lin Jiang could guess why Xu Lin had such feelings.

Her husband seems to be very busy at work and often travels on business. She is the one who picks up and drops off the children from school.

This house was bought more than half a year ago, but I have only met her husband once, and their relationship seems to be very ordinary.

"So I'm very relaxed now and don't feel anything at all."

"That's good."

Slowly, the two of them arrived at the unit door and got into the elevator together.

The two stood side by side, and a fresh and pleasant fragrance wafted over.

Xu Lin was wearing a sweater with three-quarter sleeves. Clothes made of this material would be comfortable to wear if they were loose-fitting.

But what Xu Lin was wearing was a tight-fitting outfit.

As long as it is pulled slightly or stretched a little, gaps of varying sizes will be created, creating a slightly transparent effect.

Well, black.

Before Lin Jiang could take a closer look, the elevator reached the 16th floor.

Xu Lin walked out first in flat shoes, and Lin Jiang noticed that she was wearing flesh-colored stockings.

When he arrived at the door of his house, Lin Jiang put down the fruit.

"Thank you very much. If you hadn't helped me, I would have to rest several times before I could carry these fruits back."

"We are all neighbors, and we should help each other." Lin Jiang said with a smile.

"I'm in the Chinese herbal medicine business. If there's anything I can help you with in the future, remember to look for me."

Chinese medicinal materials?
Xu Lin's occupation surprised Lin Jiang a little.

"it is good."

Drop drop-

The fingerprint lock of Xu Lin's house was opened and the door was opened at the same time.

Seeing Xu Lin was about to go home, Lin Jiang became a little anxious. There were less than two hours left for the mission, and if he missed it, he would have no chance.

"Sister Lin, wait a moment."

Xu Lin stepped half a foot into the house and took off one of her shoes. Her little feet wrapped in flesh-colored stockings looked very beautiful.

"what happened?"

"I'm going to Huaihe No. 2 Primary School later. Do you go there often?"

"My son is in the second grade there, and I go to pick him up every day." Xu Lin turned around and asked.

"I'm going to go to Huaihe No. 2 Primary School around 5 o'clock. Is there any restriction on license plates during this time period?"

Xu Lin's expression changed slightly and she paused for a few seconds.

"There is no license plate restriction, but at that time, it was school time and there were a lot of cars picking up children, so there might be some traffic jams."

"That's not a problem. My driving skills are OK."

"That's fine. Just drive slowly."

Lin Jiang secretly curled his lips. The hook was already set, why wasn't it taking the bait?

Do I have to make a nest first?
"By the way, you have to pick up your kids tonight, do you need me to give you a ride? That way you don't have to drive."

"This……"

Xu Lin hesitated a little, "No, you still have something to do, I won't bother you."

"Okay, I'll go back first."

"Ah."

They both opened the door and went home, and Lin Jiang lay down on the sofa.

Although we had a pretty good relationship, we didn't interact much. The only time I had close contact was when her sewer was blocked and I helped clear it.

If we don't find other opportunities, this task will be difficult to accomplish.

But being the first to attack is not a good business. If you take the initiative, it will definitely arouse people's vigilance and make them defensive.

How about pretending to have an encounter and then looking for another opportunity?
Dangdangdang——

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Lin Jiang got up and opened the door, and saw Xu Lin standing at the door with a bamboo fruit plate with fruits on it.

There are strawberries, cherries, blueberries, grapes...

These are not cheap fruits.

"Sister Lin, what's wrong?"

Xu Lin gathered her hair and tucked the loose strands behind her ears.

"You helped me carry all the things along the way. I don't have much to thank you for, so I just washed some fruits for you."

"You're too polite. There's no need to be like this." Lin Jiang said with a smile.

"You are too polite. You bought quite a lot. Now that you live on your own, you probably won't buy these things yourself. Take them and eat them."

"Thank you, Sister Lin."

Lin Jiang took the fruit and put it on the small dining table in the kitchen.

"By the way, I forgot to ask you just now, what were you doing at Huaihe No. 2 Primary School?"

When Lin Jiang heard this, he was secretly delighted.

If Xu Lin didn't have this idea, he would definitely not ask this question!

"I'm sending something to a friend. Is there anything wrong, Sister Lin?"

Xu Lin gathered her hair again and said apologetically:
"I have a very important dinner tonight. If your time is convenient, can you help me pick up the child? If it's not convenient, forget it, it's okay."

"It's very convenient. I'm just going there to deliver some things, so I can help you pick up the child."

"Thank you then."

Xu Lin showed a happy expression and waved her phone, "If you have anything, please contact me on WeChat. I won't be polite to you."

"it is good."

After a brief chat, Xu Lin thanked Lin Jiang again and turned back home.

"Cool!"

I was worried just now, but I didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon.

After closing the door, Lin Jiang took the fruit to the coffee table and ate a cherry.

Quite sweet.

The conditions looked good at first glance, but I couldn’t bear to buy such an expensive item.

Xu Lin: "Thank you very much for your help."

Lin Jiang: "These are all small matters. It is natural for neighbors to help each other. Don't be polite."

Xu Lin: "You should have met my son, right? I remember he asked you to assemble a toy for him."

Lin Jiang: "Remember, every one of my relatives and friends' children said that your son is handsome. It's hard to forget."

Lin Jiang's words were not a compliment. It is said that boys take after their mothers, and Xu Lin's family has inherited this perfectly.

Xu Lin: "As expected of a businessman, he knows how to talk. I'll call him later and tell him to pick him up in the evening, so he can go with you."

Lin Jiang: "??? Second graders can bring their cell phones to school?"

Xu Lin: "Xiaotiancai phone watch."

Xu Lin: "This is a photo of my son. I think you still remember him, right?"

Lin Jiang: “Yes.”

Xu Lin: "When school is over, students will come out holding signs saying, 'Second Grade, Class Three.'"

Lin Jiang: "OK, just leave it to me."
