Although everyone is a city resident, people are not the same.
Secretary Hu apparently hasn't met such enthusiastic aunts before. He pushed up his glasses on his nose, ready to speak, when Lin Xiang chimed in, "Oh, you all misunderstood. This gentleman is Secretary Hu from the cotton spinning factory's Director Chen. His surname is Hu. Secretary Hu already has a partner; he's just helping me to carry back the fabrics Director Chen rewarded me with today."
"Comrade Lin, I didn't..."
"Aunt Li, please do not say anything in front of my mom. If she hears about it, she'll set me up with someone. Secretary Hu already has a partner; it wouldn't be good to affect their relationship."
Aunt Li showed an "I understand" expression, leaned closer to Lin Xiang, and whispered, "Girl, could you spare some fabric for your aunt? Don't worry, I've got plenty of eggs!"
Lin Xiang smiled, "Of course I can. I'll sort them out when I get home. You can come over this afternoon to choose the fabrics."
