The morning breeze blew in through the open door, bringing with it the chill of winter. With a solemn expression, Principal Chen looked at the open door of the hall and said to Commissioner Cai, "If you don't mind, let's go to the kitchen and have a seat. We can chat while warming up. How about that?"
He wondered if anyone had seen this Mr. Cai when he came to the village. There were a few famous gossip mongers in the village. If they saw him, they might say something.
The village was small. If any strangers entered, everyone would ask them a few questions. This was typical village life. There were no bad intentions nor secrets between the families.
"I don't mind. Please lead the way." Commissioner Cai smiled and stood up first. He had a good impression of Principal Chen. He could see the familiar aura of a soldier from him.
As a retired soldier, he felt that the distance between them was getting closer.
