The day passed quickly, and after the sunset, night quickly enveloped Dawa Village.
Zhao Xiangdong, Mi Li and the driver left after eating. When eating at the village committee, if you follow the rules set by the village chief Chang Desheng, you will have to have four dishes and one soup at a minimum, as well as wine.
However, Zhao Xiangdong disagreed. The village committee itself had no income. In the final reckoning, the money for food and drink would still be shared among the villagers. He couldn't bear it, so he directly gave an order to the village committee to make a big pot of dishes, just enough steamed buns.
After getting off the bus at the school gate, Zhao Xiangdong saw a watermelon seller, thinking that Chen Qi liked watermelon, so he walked over and bought one.
When I walked to the door of Chen Qi's house, I saw that the room was dark. It was only after eight o'clock. It was impossible to sleep, right? He knocked on the door suspiciously, but there was no answer.
Went drinking? Zhao Xiangdong muttered and walked away.
Around ten o'clock, Zhao Xiangdong went out and saw that the door was still locked, and he became even more confused. Why was he drinking at a wine place after ten thirty? He couldn't have arrived just now when I was taking a nap.
"Puff! Sister, are you back?"
Zhao Xiangdong knocked on the door several times but got no answer, so he went back to the house, took the key and opened the door.
"Snapped!"
Zhao Xiangdong turned on the light and saw that the house was as clean as new. He hurried to the bedroom and found that Chen Qi had not come back. His heart was raised. He immediately called her cell phone and found that it was shut down. His face was full of surprise. Where has she been? Why is it still down?
After thinking wildly for a while, Zhao Xiangdong called Hou Xuezhi. When he learned that Chen Qi had been transferred back to the provincial capital, he was shocked and felt empty in his heart.
Transferred? Isn't this too sudden? Why didn't you tell me? Even if you don’t have time to talk in person, you can still make a phone call!
After walking out of the bedroom, Zhao Xiangdong looked at the empty room and accidentally saw a note on the coffee table. He immediately walked over and picked it up. Lines of beautiful fonts came into view.
I saw Chen Qi writing: Boy, when you read this letter, I will have already left Liuhe Town. Now is it weird that my sister didn’t say goodbye to you before leaving? It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I can’t bear to see you sad.
There is no such thing as a feast that never ends. I came to this remote town to work because of my marriage and my family. I thought that in the past two years, my family would compromise with me and end the marriage, but no, I I can only accept my fate.
Before you came to Liuhe Town, my life and work were all in black and white. Every day was a mechanical routine of going to work, getting off work, eating and sleeping. But since you came to Liuhe Town three months ago, you suddenly clicked... It brightens up my black and white life, making it colorful and full of happiness.
I made up my mind to leave, actually because of you. A month ago, I discovered that I had fallen in love with you, but my reason told me that we were destined to be destined to be together! The two of us are like meteors streaking across the vast night sky. After a brief meeting, we will separate and continue flying along our own orbits.
Qian Xiaohui is a nice girl, at least she loves you. Otherwise she wouldn't have asked for leave to go to the hospital and took care of you day and night for more than ten days. Cherish her.
Big donkey! I think you should call you Big Donkey. The sense of fulfillment last night will be something I will remember forever. As I write this, my face feels as hot as fire, very hot, very hot.
My last words to you are: don’t be impulsive at work, think twice before you act, be low-key in life and high-profile in work, come on, young man! Bless you, sister!
After reading the letter, Zhao Xiangdong couldn't calm down for a long time, and scenes of the past appeared in his mind...
Early the next morning, Zhao Xiangdong had just finished washing up. Qian Xiaohui came to the door with breakfast and said with a sweet smile: "Just in time, I bought breakfast, soup dumplings, roujiamo and bean juice, which one do you like to eat?" ?”
Zhao Xiangdong frowned and asked in surprise: "Why are you here so early in the morning?"
Qian Xiaohui pouted her red-haired lips and said, "I came here right after I got off the night shift. Here you go, eat."
Zhao Xiangdong put on a T-shirt and said, "You can eat, I'm not hungry."
When Qian Xiaohui saw him walking out with a cold face, she stamped her foot angrily and said, "She's gone. Even if you miss her again, you can't be together!"
Zhao Xiangdong, who walked to the door, trembled physically and mentally when he heard these words. He hesitated for a moment but then walked out resolutely.
Watching Zhao Xiangdong walk out quickly, Qian Xiaohui fell down on the sofa, tears of disappointment welling up in her eyes.
In fact, Qian Xiaohui also understood Zhao Xiangdong's inner pain, and she also understood that the relationship between them was not just as simple as brother and sister. During the days when Zhao Xiangdong was hospitalized, Chen Qi had doubts about their relationship when she visited him frequently, and the pained expression shown by Zhao Xiangdong just now confirmed her suspicions again.
Although he loves Chen Qi, she has left and will not come back. Qian Xiaohui felt that the opportunity had come. Even if he was an ice sculpture, she would cover him up. She could no longer let him go. He had occupied her entire heart.
When he arrived at the door of the Education Office, Wei Guohua walked over and whispered: "Mayor Zhao, I have something to report to you."
Zhao Xiangdong opened the door and said, "Come in and talk."
Wei Guohua followed in, closed the door, and then took out a thick leather envelope from his pocket and said nervously: "Mayor Zhao, this is the 10,000 yuan that Sun Changzhen gave me last night. Asked him what the money was for, he said just take it. Also, last night he asked me to make another false account."
Zhao Xiangdong took the cowhide envelope, weighed it, poured it out, checked it, and said, "It's okay, just record it in the account. Fake the account? That's what you do, but you have to keep good evidence."
He became more and more courageous. Sun Changzhen gave Wei Guohua only 10,000 yuan, so he would only get more. Damn it, take it, there will be a day when you regret it.
Since the school was on holiday and there was nothing to do, after Wei Guohua left, Zhao Xiangdong walked out and met Hou Xuezhi who was going upstairs at the stairs.
"Mayor Zhao, wait a moment." Hou Xuezhi stopped Zhao Xiangdong and said, "Your office has been cleaned and the walls have been painted. You can move it there. It's the one where Lu Feiyang used to work."
Zhao Xiangdong smiled slightly and said: "In a few days, I will move there after the classroom is repaired."
Hou Xuezhi said repeatedly: "That's fine, that's fine."
Looking at Zhao Xiangdong's back, Hou Xuezhi felt quite unconvinced and jealous. He had been in Liuhe Town for more than ten years. After more than ten years of serving the leaders in the Party and Government Office, he became the director of the Party and Government Office, and he was only a full-time official. However, within four months of coming to Liuhe Town, this guy became the deputy mayor and became the deputy section chief. , half a level higher than him. It’s so unreasonable!
For three consecutive days, more than half of all the walnuts in Dawa Village have been sold, and they will basically be sold out tomorrow. Zhao Xiangdong smiled when he saw the villagers receiving the money. He was very pleased and felt a sense of accomplishment.
Since Zhao Xiangdong has other work arrangements, he and Mi Li will not be able to go to Dawa Village tomorrow. However, in order not to delay MiLi’s live broadcast, Wuling Hongguang drivers were arranged to pick up and deliver MiLi every day.
On the fourth day of the live broadcast, the Qingquan City TV interview vehicle came to Dawa Village...
