At noon, the delegation arrived at Saihanba smoothly. In order to welcome the delegation, a grand welcome ceremony was held at the venue.
Banners, firecrackers, aisles of welcome, everything is available.
In the crowd, Tan Xuemei watched Qin Qiufeng's every move silently. She originally thought she had given up.
But the moment she saw Tan Qiufeng, she realized that she couldn't feel calm at all.
too difficult.
As soon as she saw that face, she couldn't help but think of her mother. When she thought of her mother, her emotions couldn't help but waver.
"I'll find an opportunity to find him later."
Li Jie saw the hesitation in Tan Xuemei's heart, patted her shoulder and whispered.
Before that, the two people had discussed that Li Jie would first find Tan Qiufeng, and then take Tan Qiufeng to see Tan Xuemei.
"Um."
Tan Xuemei glanced at Tan Qiufeng who was surrounded by everyone, then looked at Li Jie beside him, and nodded lightly.
On the other side, Meng Yue looked at the 'intimate' interaction between the two, and her eyes almost crinkled with laughter.
At this moment, she just felt that the idea she had before was really great, it was simply a stroke of genius!
What was the status of Xuemei and 'Feng Cheng' before?
Usually when we meet, we only talk about work, and rarely do we whisper like today.
What now?
Not only did the two begin to communicate privately, but they also seemed to be very close. Not to mention anything else, the distance between the two was closer in terms of their positions.
On the surface, although this is just a small step, it is a huge step for the relationship between the two!
…
…
…
In a blink of an eye, the time came to the evening. After dinner as usual, Tan Qiufeng took a walk alone to eat.
At first, Yu Zhenglai and others wanted to accompany him, but he refused.
He wanted to take a walk alone, take a look at the forest farm at night, and listen to the employees' daily exchanges.
As he walked, Tan Qiufeng came to the nursery.
The nursery is located in a relatively remote location, and there are many people during the day. However, at night, no one comes here except those from the nursery team.
This afternoon, Li Jie specially rearranged his work and gave those on duty tonight a holiday.
The purpose, of course, is to create conditions for meeting Tan Qiufeng.
Tan Qiufeng has a special identity and is a very decent person. Even if he and Tan Xuemei resolve their differences, there is a high probability that they will not be willing to publicize the relationship between father and daughter.
Under the dim sky, Tan Qiufeng smelled the faint smell of grass in the air, and unconsciously raised his head to look around at the surrounding environment.
Suddenly, a black shadow jumped out of his sight, startling him and subconsciously taking a step back.
"Hello, Minister Qin."
Tan Qiufeng took a closer look and felt that the person in front of him seemed a bit familiar. After taking a closer look, he immediately recognized the person's identity.
Isn't this the seedling expert named 'Feng Cheng'?
It was this young man who proposed the 'all-light seedling cultivation method' that made the experts in the ministry full of praise. Yu Zhenglai also mentioned it to him in the afternoon. It can be said that this young man deserves the most credit for Saihanba being what it is today.
But why would he come to me at this time?
Tan Qiufeng looked at Li Jie without any trace, and couldn't help but feel a little doubt in his heart.
Could it be that he, like some people, wanted to get close to him in private?
As the top leader of the Forestry Department, Qin Qiufeng has met all kinds of people in his work and life.
Among them, there are many people who try to get close to each other and use the back door.
However, at his status and age, he has long since developed the ability to keep his emotions and anger hidden. He looked at Li Jie calmly and said calmly.
"Young man, who are you? What do you want from me?"
Although Tan Qiufeng had recognized Li Jie's identity, he did not reveal it and still pretended not to recognize him.
Li Jie had no politeness or pleasantries, and went straight to the point.
"Minister Qin, do you still remember Li Xianglan, who belonged to the Zhengyang clan? (The name of Qin Xuemei's mother does not seem to be mentioned in the original work. This is a fabrication)"
When Qin Qiufeng heard the name that once haunted him, he froze in place as if struck by lightning.
The next second, he grabbed Li Jie's shoulders emotionally.
"Who did you just talk about? Li Xianglan? Where did you know this name? Do you know her? Where is she now?"
People's subconscious reactions are often the truest expression of emotions. Looking at Tan Qiufeng, whose eyes were red and his face was distorted, Li Jie proved one thing.
Tan Qiufeng has not forgotten Qin Xuemei's mother and son. Although this has been shown in the play, the screen is the screen and reality is reality.
Until this moment, Li Jie was convinced that he had done nothing wrong.
"Minister Qin, please don't get excited. Please listen to me and tell you slowly."
After hearing this, Tan Qiufeng immediately realized that he was a little out of sorts, and then he quickly took a few deep breaths to calm down the excitement in his chest.
"Comrade, I'm sorry to make you laugh."
After expressing his apology, Tan Qiufeng spoke slowly.
"Okay, you can talk now."
Li Jie smiled and nodded, saying that he didn't mind. Then his expression changed and he couldn't help but look more serious.
"Minister Qin, I hope you can control your emotions, because what you say next may be a bit..."
Li Jie didn't say anything else. Tan Qiufeng had obviously understood something. Although he didn't say anything, the expression on his face had betrayed him.
His eyes were even redder, and there was some sadness between his brows.
"Your wife died of illness eight years ago."
After hearing the news, even though he was prepared in his heart, the tears in Tan Qiufeng's eyes still couldn't stop falling.
"Please grief."
Li Jie sighed silently. In that special era, there were countless families similar to the Tan family in China.
After a long time, Tan Qiufeng sighed, holding back the grief in his heart, and asked with hope.
"What about...the child?"
Li Jie calmly replied: "Minister Qin, your and your lover's child is still alive. Not only have you seen her, you should also have heard her name."
In an instant, a name jumped into Tan Qiufeng's mind.
'Tin Xuemei! '
'Is she really my child? '
The first time he saw this name, Tan Qiufeng felt very friendly for no reason, especially after reading Tan Xuemei's file.
At that time, he thought to himself that if his child was still alive, he would be at this age.
Looking at Tan Xuemei's eyebrows and eyes, he also had the thought of 'could she be my child?'
But when he saw the words 'both parents died' in the file, this idea was immediately disillusioned.
At the same time, a figure was hiding in the dark and observing everything happening at the scene.
Although the distance was a little far, through Tan Qiufeng's body language, Tan Xuemei had already understood part of the truth.
'He still misses us. '
Upon discovering this fact, two lines of hot tears immediately poured out of Tan Xuemei's eyes.
