Yangpeng New Village.
Shen Xin and Ding Yuwei walked together, carrying a bag of fruit as they knocked on the door of Apartment 301, Unit 2.
An elderly man with graying hair opened the door and asked them uncertainly who they were looking for.
Shen Xin quickly introduced himself.
The old man was none other than Qin Chuanwang. As soon as he heard they were colleagues from the branch bureau, his face lit up with a smile, and he pulled them inside.
"Honey, we have guests! Quick, find that caddy of tea I have."
He shouted to the inner room, then invited the two to sit, saying he had a pot of fine tea they absolutely had to try.
His wife was also very kind. She smiled as she cut slices of watermelon for them, saying it was rare for his colleagues to visit, so they shouldn't leave for lunch. They must stay and eat, and she would go buy groceries.
Shen Xin quickly refused.
But Qin Chuanwang wouldn't hear of it and told his wife to go buy groceries right away.
