Chapter 80

Chapter 80

On a construction site in Tianping Zhenxiao District, Chen Donglin stood in front of the faucet, picked up water and washed his dusty face indiscriminately.

It was another day of cement transportation, and his face and body were covered with gray cement powder.

After his face, which had been exposed to the wind and sun all day, was washed with water, it finally revealed its original color—it was a black and red face that did not match his actual age.

After washing, he casually wiped the clothes on his body with wet hands, and shook off the dust on his head with both hands, then picked up the straw hat next to him and put it on again, ready to leave.

"Donglin, did you get off work so early today?" A man who also worked on the construction site asked him as he passed the sink.

Dong Lin raised a smiling face and replied plainly: "Yes, leave early today, my father-in-law's birthday is today."

"Hey, it's my father-in-law's birthday, so it should be early." The man also smiled, with an expression of understanding.

Donglin walked out of the construction site and drove the tractor that was pulling goods all the way to the county town.He had to receive Hongxing first, and then went back with her.

It was exactly four o'clock in the afternoon, and it took about an hour for his tractor to reach the county seat, and he arrived at Hongxing's unit at five o'clock just in time to pick her up from get off work.

In a certain government unit in the county, Hongxing is in a good mood today.This morning, when she met Guan Xiaobin at the door, she told him in advance that it was her father's birthday party tonight, and she hoped that he could come to it too.

Guan Xiaobin naturally wanted what he wanted, and agreed without thinking.In order to make a good impression on Cai Kun at the birthday party in the evening, he deliberately braved the scorching heat to buy good red wine as a congratulatory gift at the county department store at noon.

Arriving at [-]:[-] in the afternoon, Hong Xing had packed up the things on the table and was about to pick up her bag and leave.She glanced at the large office area behind her, and seeing that Guan Xiaobin had also stood up from his seat, she happened to look at her too.She nodded to him, so Guan Xiaobin got up and walked towards her.

When Guan Xiaobin came to Hongxing's side, the two walked out of the agency's gate side by side.

"What you're carrying is a gift for my dad, right?" Hong Xing's eyes were sharp, and she saw the exquisite packing box in his hand at a glance.

Guan Xiaobin nodded and said, "I bought the wine for the director. I rarely participate in such occasions, and I don't know if the director will like it."

Seeing his uneasy look, Hong Xing couldn't help laughing out loud, she said: "Don't be nervous, my father is so easy-going, you can go alone, you don't need to buy any gifts."

"How can I do that? I'll go empty-handed on the director's birthday. How bad it is!"

"Then, since you bought it, you can bring it with you. Anyway, I think it doesn't matter if you buy it or not." Hong Xing said.

"Hongxing!" Not long after the two of them walked out of the gate, Chen Donglin kept waving to her not far away.

Hong Xing squinted her eyes and saw her husband Dong Lin was standing beside the tractor and kept waving at her.As soon as her face changed, displeasure filled her heart.

"Why is he here?" She muttered softly, but still walked over.

"What are you doing here?" When Hong Xing and Guan Xiaobin walked to Dong Lin's side, Hong Xing looked at him with disgust.

At this time, Donglin was wearing clothes covered in dust and sweat. After the dust was soaked in sweat and then dried, it was mottled here and there.

"Hong Xing, I'm here to pick you up to attend Dad's birthday party, you won't forget, right?" Dong Lin smiled naively after receiving Hong Xing, obviously in a good mood.

However, when he turned his head and saw Guan Xiaobin standing behind Hongxing, his expression suddenly changed.

"Brother Donglin, I work in the same unit as Hongxing, and I came out together because I am her father's assistant." Guan Xiaobin explained it this way, probably because he sensed Donglin's unfriendly eyes.

Dong Lin didn't make a sound, it could even be said that he ignored Guan Xiaobin directly, and his eyes fixed on Hong Xing again.

Facing Donglin's attentive Hongxing, she didn't appreciate it, and was even a little disgusted.She glanced at his dirty clothes and that straw hat that was so dusty, and said angrily: "You don't plan to dress like this to attend my dad's birthday party, do you?"

There is indeed a world of difference between the disheveled Dong Lin and the clean and tidy Guan Xiaobin sitting in his office.One of the two looks like a coal digger, and the other is a typical image of a white-collar elite.

Dong Lin looked down at the clothes on his body, smiled a little embarrassedly, and said, "This body is indeed a bit dirty. But my work is arranged by my father. He knows what I do every day. , you shouldn't dislike it, right?"

"What do you think?" Hong Xing gave him a blank look, speechless!

After all, her father is also a dignified person. If there is no guarantee at the birthday party, what kind of people will come, like her husband's current attire, isn't it intentional to embarrass her?

"It's a bit casual, but it's too late to go home and change it now, so what should I do?" Dong Lin tugged at the skirt of his clothes, not knowing what to do for a while.It was also my fault that he left in such a hurry, I never thought about going home first, changing clothes before coming back.

"Go buy a new one and change it, this one is too sweaty!" Hong Xing was upset seeing her husband like this, and the strong smell of sweat on his body also made her feel sick.

"It will cost a lot of money to buy a new suit. Why don't you secretly find a suit that your father doesn't wear when we go back, and I can change it." Donglin felt distressed when he bought a new suit. He was exhausted loading cars and pulling goods all day How much money do you earn?He was really reluctant to let him buy a new one.

"Why are you like this..." Her husband's words made Hong Xing even more speechless, he could even imagine wearing her father's clothes.

"Do you want to buy it or not? If you don't buy it, go home by yourself, and don't go to the birthday party!" After Hong Xing finished speaking, she walked forward with Guan Xiaobin, deliberately not taking Donglin's tractor.

In desperation, Donglin had no choice but to shout: "Okay, I'll go buy it right away, you can sit up quickly, I'll take you there with me."

Hong Xing, who had already walked two steps, rolled her eyes angrily, then stopped, and sat on the passenger seat of the tractor with a dark face.

Guan Xiaobin, who was next to him, saw Hongxing getting on the tractor and was in a dilemma, thinking whether he should also go back in his tractor.

"Come on, you go to the back cabin." Hong Xing reminded him.

Guan Xiaobin walked to the rear warehouse and just wanted to climb up, but Donglin stepped on the accelerator and drove out, causing Guan Xiaobin to almost eat shit.

"You can take the bus, my tractor will be pulling goods soon, it won't fit in." Donglin said this deliberately in a buzzing voice.

He just didn't want to pull this Guan Xiaobin, he didn't like this person from the very beginning.

"Why don't you bring him along with you? It's not troublesome to have one more person!" Hong Xing sat on the side and scolded Dong Lin. She turned her head anxiously and looked behind her, seeing that Guan Xiaobin was still standing there with a blank expression on her face. He stared blankly at them as they drifted away.

"What are you pulling him for? Let's go to Dad's birthday party. Why is he joining in the fun with an outsider!" Dong Lin looked indifferent, and the reasons he gave were still irrefutable.

Hongxing opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to respond to him.

The two of them found a random men's clothing store on a tractor, and Hongxing helped him choose a suit of striped T-shirt and trousers that looked okay for Dong Lin to try on.Donglin took it to the fitting room and put it on, hey, let alone, it really looks like that.

"Sure enough, people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles!" Dong Lin stood in front of the mirror and looked left and right, looking at his completely new self in the mirror, he couldn't help boasting.

Hong Xing pouted, pretending not to hear.

If it was in the past, she would indeed find him handsome.But now that she has been with Guan Xiaobin for a long time, she feels more and more that a talented and capable man is truly handsome.
