Yang Caiyu gently stroked his big hand and said quietly:
"Wei Guo, I'm really afraid that you will disappear suddenly!"
"How could it be? Caiyu, I'm like a kite now. No matter how high or far I fly, the kite string is still in your hands."
Du Weiguo, a scumbag, could easily come up with such shameless words of love without any effort, but the little white sheep's guard was broken.
She raised her head, looked at Du Weiguo with clear eyes, and pouted her mouth softly.
However, a very untimely knock on the door interrupted the young couple's romance.
"Dang Dang Dang!"
The knock on the door was very soft and polite, and then the young man from the hotel spoke Mandarin with a slight accent:
"Boss, dinner is ready and I'll bring it to you!"
Yang Caiyu was startled by the knock on the door, her face turned red, like a frightened deer, and she quickly turned around and ran back to the bedroom.
Du Weiguo smiled, turned around and opened the door.
This dark and thin young man was standing at the door with a smile on his face. There were two bamboo food boxes on the ground.
He was very measured and did not enter the door. Instead, he stood at the door and said:
"Boss, the food is ready. It's freshly cooked and still piping hot. You can eat it while it's hot. I'll come over tomorrow morning to collect it."
After finishing speaking, the young man bowed with a smile, turned around and left without saying anything.
Du Weiguo looked at his retreating figure and nodded with satisfaction.
He has eyes, knows how to measure, knows how to advance and retreat, and has high emotional intelligence. He is a talent. Anyway, he is much better than me!
Du Weiguo came back to the room carrying two heavy food boxes, hooked the door with his toes, closed the door, and greeted Yang Caiyu:
"Caiyu, dinner has been delivered. It's all specialties from your hometown. Come out quickly to wash your hands and eat!"
Du Weiguo put the food box on the coffee table and took out the food one by one.
Yang Caiyu came out of the bedroom with a red face, came over to take a look, and couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
"Ah! Is this Miao's anchovy in sour soup? My dad used to say it all the time, it smells so good! It must be delicious!"
Du Weiguo turned around, gently scratched her nose, and said angrily:
"I'm so greedy! I was seasick just now and vomited to the point of unconsciousness, but I became more energetic when I saw the delicious food. Go and wash your hands~"
Yang Caiyu said shyly: "Du Weiguo, don't mention seasickness again!"
Needless to say, although the food in this store is expensive, the taste is really great. It is among the top three delicacies that Du Weiguo has tasted since he traveled through time.
The first place was the disappeared beef restaurant, and the second place was the same as the mutton restaurant he often went to.
The anchovies in sour soup are full of color and aroma, the fish meat is delicious, firm and smooth, the fish soup is sour and spicy, and the other dishes are also full of ingredients and have unique flavors!
Tasty enough!
Yang Caiyu had eaten almost nothing during the two days on the boat. In addition, she had vomited everything just now, so she was very hungry.
Hot and sour is the most appetizing.
Facing such delicious food, her index fingers moved and her appetite whetted. Even if she didn't particularly like spicy food, she rarely ate a lot.
Du Weiguo was also very considerate and let her eat two pieces of White Rabbit toffee after the meal, fearing that it would irritate her stomach and cause cramps.
Although the young couple had a close friendship, they were tired of seasickness while collecting jade, and they had to lay their father's tomb tomorrow.
The timing was wrong, so the young couple didn't mess around that night. After washing up, they hugged each other and fell asleep.
A speechless night!
Early the next morning, Du Weiguo and Little Aries had just gotten up when the young man from the restaurant showed up on time, bringing hot breakfast and taking away last night's pots and bowls.
Yang Caiyu was naturally amazed by such a service attitude and was very satisfied.
Breakfast is still great, steamed buns with bamboo shoots and fresh meat, and wontons stuffed with pure meat. They are delicious!
After breakfast, Du Weiguo and Yang Caiyu packed up. Du Weiguo held her father's ashes, and Yang Caiyu's bag contained her father's tablet.
The two of them went downstairs hand in hand, left the guest house, and then slowly walked all the way north. They met fellow villagers along the way and asked about the distance.
At 10 a.m., Du Weiguo and Yang Caiyu finally found her father's ancestral home in her hometown.
It is a large courtyard with two entrances, all made of bamboo planks. The main house is a two-story wooden building with a single black tile on the roof that is very characteristic of the place.
The jade-picking grandparents were long gone. She had never even seen them. There was no one left in the family. No one had lived here for many years.
But although Caiyu's father is gone, his second uncle is still there, and there are men in the family, so the Yang family's incense inheritance continues.
The ancestral home and ancestral tablets are all there.
The second uncle has always been looked after by others over the years, so although the Yang family's ancestral house is a bit old and dusty, it is not dilapidated.
After Du Weiguo and the people from the commune presented their letters of introduction and work certificates, the commune secretary immediately became very enthusiastic.
The people in the village were also very envious. They gathered around Yang Caiyu's ancestral house to watch the fun. Everyone was talking about it:
“Look at Old Yang’s family, there is really smoke rising from the ancestral grave!
Not only the second son is an official in the capital, but also the girls from the boss's family are so promising that they find a big leader in the capital to be their aunt. "
"That's right, that's right, I just heard from Third Dad that the uncle of the old Yang family is on the same level as our county magistrate!"
"Ah! Are you the same age as the county magistrate? Is it true? I think this man is only about 20 years old. This is incredible!"
"Tch, second uncle, if you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. He is a Beijing official. When a Beijing official goes to the countryside, he will be a third-level official. When the county magistrate sees him, he has to stand up!"
"Hey! Don't you look at the color of the girl from the old Yang family? She looks like a fairy descending to earth, and is even more beautiful than the Lao Shizi Luodong goddess in the village!"
"My uncle is not bad at all! He is a talented person. He is already a big leader at a young age. At first glance, he is the best among people~~"
The villagers who were watching were all talking and talking, their voices filled with envy, jealousy, and a bit of sourness.
However, they were all spoken in the local dialect and were spoken quickly and urgently. Du Weiguo and Yang Caiyu could barely understand only 30% of the words!
Even so, he could roughly understand what they meant by looking at their glances, and Comrade Caiyu, who had always been thin-skinned, suddenly turned red.
Du Weiguo looked like this. To be honest, he was already used to being watched, and his face was as good as a city wall!
He had already experienced the scene of social death when thousands of people watched at the same time when the steel rolling mill was off work. It was just a small scene.
Having said that, with the blessing of this level of cadre status, it is indeed much easier to get things done.
With Du Weiguo accompanying her, it was originally reasonable for her father to pick up the jade and put it into the ancestral tomb and the memorial tablet into the ancestral temple.
Now it was going extremely smoothly. With a wave of his hand, the secretary found a dozen strong young men to help.
Before noon, it was already done, and even the tombstones had been erected, at the speed of light.
During the whole process, Yang Caiyu was commanded in a confused manner, half-listening, half-guessing, and confused, like a puppet on strings, and he didn't even have the chance to feel sad.
It’s ridiculous!
At noon, Yang Caiyu and Du Weiguo couldn't bear the commune secretary's warm invitation, so they had a very simple farm lunch at his house.
Steamed red sweet potato, steamed potato, cold Houttuynia cordata, chili sauce, a small plate of steamed bacon, and a steamed egg.
This is the most decent meal in the village for entertaining distinguished guests.
Facing this meal and the old secretary's simple face, Du Weiguo and Yang Caiyu couldn't eat it and felt a little ashamed.
Unconsciously, he became the person he once despised.
Before leaving, Du Weiguo left 50 yuan for the old secretary, as well as 300 kilograms of national food stamps. Don't be too little. This will at least keep the Yang Caiyu family's ancestral home strong for another three years!
At 3 p.m., Du Weiguo and Yang Caiyu returned to the county guest house.
The original plan was to clean up the ancestral house together and then stay there for one night.
But Comrade Caiyu couldn't bear it. He was treated like a monkey by the villagers in his hometown. After lunch, he took Du Weiguo and fled.
As soon as Du Weiguo and Yang Caiyu entered the courtyard of the guest house, they saw two comrades wearing dark blue tunic suits sitting on the bench in the lobby of the guest house.
As soon as they saw Du Weiguo, their eyes suddenly lit up. The two men quickly stood up and walked towards him.
Both of these people were walking in a hurry, with a faint anxious look on their faces. One look at this posture.
Du Weiguo's heart immediately thumped, and his brows wrinkled involuntarily.
His experienced eyes are very poisonous now. One look at the other party's clothes, demeanor, and walking posture. It is obvious that he is a colleague from the Hunan Province of the Special Service Department?
These two guys are obviously here for me, right? It's not a good thing for colleagues from the Secret Service to look for him and think about it with their butts. They will definitely be in trouble.
At this time, the relatively older comrade had quickly walked up to Du Weiguo with a very polite tone:
"Hello, comrade, are you Director Du Weiguo of the 5th Division of the Special Service Division of the 49th City?"
When he spoke, he had a strong Hunan accent. Du Weiguo sighed secretly and nodded helplessly:
"Hello, comrade, I am Du Weiguo, who are you?"
When the older comrade heard this, he immediately stood up and saluted, then looked excited, held Du Weiguo's hand tightly, and said in an excited tone:
"Du Chu, hello, we have found you. We are from the Hunan Province Special Service Division. My name is Tao Jikang, and I am the chief of Section 2 of the Special Service Division.
We encountered a case here. Our division chief, section chief 1, and several other comrades are now missing.
We urgently reported it to the Secretary. Hu Si asked us to come to Yuanling County to find you. You will take over this case. Xiao Liao, please quickly give the order to Du Chu. "
Upon hearing this, Du Weiguo was stunned.
Damn it, I have traveled thousands of miles to Xiangxi to avoid trouble. Why is it so small?
