There was a white Santana parked in the alleyway, Cheng Yue and Hu Mei asked Shen Huai to stop at the entrance of the alley and let them down, waving goodbye to Shen Huai.

The time is not late, but the severe cold of minus ** degrees makes the streets and alleys not see any figures, the shadows of the street lamps and trees are hazy, and the dogs on both sides are barking endlessly-Shen Huai has already turned the corner of the street, and Hu Mei's vision has not yet been retracted, Cheng Yue shrunk her neck, grabbed Hu Mei's arm, and said: "Let's go, don't look any more, look at the soul again." ”

"Who saw it?" Hu Meijiao said angrily, "People are kind enough to send us back, we can't sneak into the house as soon as we get to the door, how impolite it is......"

"You damn girl, you dare to talk back to me," Cheng Yue smiled and wanted to pinch Hu Mei's face, walked through the alley where the dog barked, slipped back to the door with a smile, and said to Hu Mei, "Sleep with me, the heating plant has been insane again in the past few days, and the heating for the New Year is insufficient, don't you feel cold alone?"

"I think what's the use of being cold, you can also pull Gu Ziqiang to cover the quilt for you, who can I pull?" Hu Mei said, "But Gu Ziqiang drank too much today, I should take ...... of your warm quilt nest" and Cheng Yue entered the courtyard, Cheng Yue's parents, brothers-in-law and little nephew were all watching TV in the hut that doubled as a restaurant, Hu Mei greeted with a smile, and called home before washing up and going to bed with Cheng Yue.

Cheng Yue's house is also tight, and there are several families crowded in the courtyard, and his house comes out of a small courtyard. Her brother and sister-in-law took her little nephew to a room, and her parents' bedroom was separated by half a room as a kitchen; a small shed was temporarily built in the yard to make a boudoir for Cheng Yue, just enough to put a bed, a cupboard, and a dresser, but it also cleaned up for Cheng Yue.

Maybe the shed was built simply, although the radiator came in, the indoor temperature was not high, Hu Mei and Cheng Yue squeezed into the quilt, and it took a while to warm up.

"In this case, you and Gu Ziqiang's marriage date must be postponed?" Hu Mei thought about what had happened in the past two days, her head was so excited that she couldn't sleep, and curled up in the quilt to ask Cheng Yue about her plans for her marriage with Gu Ziqiang.

"This dead strong son, he didn't tell me about such a big thing as resigning, everyone is here today, don't clean it up, and show him another day," Thinking of this, Cheng Yue was still a little annoyed, and said, "The marriage date is set, you have to get married, either you rent a house to live in first, or he comes over to squeeze this small shed with me, maybe you can really get through it after two years." ”

The three brothers in Gu Ziqiang's family can only sleep in one room to this day, whoever wants to get married will have to move out to live, and the family can't squeeze out the marriage room - now I have resigned and started a business, and I have also soaked in the soup from the unit, and many things can only be discussed from the right to calculate, Cheng Yue is not too worried about this matter, she asked Hu Mei: "You just opened a phone call to the family, listening to your tone, it seems that you are a little unhappy, what's wrong?"

"It's not because of that? My mother persuaded me to reconcile with the one surnamed Zhao, and the one surnamed Zhao went to our restaurant at noon, knowing that I didn't go to work with you today, and called my house to say that I was coming, and my mother talked to me about this for a long time," Hu Mei said, "You said that you can be emotionally involved?"

"......" Cheng Yue smiled and said, "The twisted melon is really not sweet, but there is something I want to tell you." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Shen Huai said that he was dissatisfied with him on a blind date, but no matter what, he is also a child of a wealthy family, and we are people who live in different worlds......" Cheng Yue said.

"I know......" Hu Mei sighed faintly, hugged Cheng Yue's body tightly, and made her body warmer.

**************

Shen Huai didn't know about the conversation in the courtyard, and when he returned to his sister-in-law's house on Xisi Street, he received a call from his sister-in-law from Jiangning, and heard the news that Cheng Yi was "quite satisfied" with him and was willing to "see everywhere".

This should be a seemingly positive signal, but when Shen Huai called Cheng Yi in the morning to thank him for last night's incident, he could hear that Cheng Yi's tone was deliberately cold, as if he was afraid that he would have some unnecessary misunderstanding because of this.

Shen Huai also knew that the so-called positive signal was just a delaying ploy by Miss Cheng, but he was eager to do so, and he was happy not to find fault with others.

Gu Ziqiang's follow-up to their factory, they had a detailed discussion with Song Hongjun, and Shen Huai was only responsible for building bridges. In the next two days in Beijing, he and Sun Yalin visited the person in charge of the Karma Credit Bank in Beijing, and on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the staff of the General Institute of Mining and Management officially went to work after their annual leave, and went to the door to communicate about the technical transformation of the steelmaking line of the new project, and took a late flight on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year and returned to Donghua directly.

***********

Donghua has been snowing for the past two days, and the sixth day of the Lunar New Year has been clear, and the snowmelt weather is even colder.

Seeing that the temperature was six or seven degrees higher than that of Yanjing, but when I got off the plane, I was wrapped in the cold wind that was swirling, and the wet cold penetrated into the flesh and bones, making people hate to shrink their heads into their necks.

Fortunately, Song Tong has spent three winters in Jiangning and has adapted to the wet and cold winter in the Jianghuai area.

As usual, Shao Zheng drove to the airport to pick them up, and Shen Huai considered that the accommodation conditions of the Zhuxi Hotel were still poor, so he arranged for Song Tong to live in Pengyue International.

The Zhuxi Bridge is close to complete, and the asphalt pavement is also paved with two layers of coarse material, because Donghua is a rainy area, the entire road surface needs to be opened to traffic for two to three months to maintain full penetration, and then the final completion is carried out, but the passage is no longer a problem.

Take the Dongpu Highway about five kilometers from the airport, you can turn onto the Meihe Highway in the north, and walk another two kilometers to the town of Meixi Town.

The northeast corner of Meixi Town has not been renovated, all of them are low bungalows, but the northern section of Meihe Highway has not been fully paved, but the landscape belt of about 20 meters on both sides has completed the transplantation of trees in advance. The survival rate of the evergreen trees transplanted after autumn is quite high, and under the shade of the trees, turning from the Dongpu Highway, I don't feel that the northeast of Meixi Town is dilapidated and shabby - and the adobe thatched huts in the villages along the road are being demolished and disposed of in the town in the renovation of the dilapidated farmhouses.

After entering the town, the right side is the factory area of Ziluo Home Textiles, the left side is the newly built small and medium-sized enterprise park; then to the south, it turns into the east-west Zhuxi Avenue, the south side is the old factory area of Meigang, and the new office building area between the north side and the pants; and then to the west, the south side is Xinmei New Village, the north side is Zhuyuan, and after the Zhuxi Bridge, it is Pengyue International Hotel.

Pengyue International Hotel was renovated, and a new hotel operation team was hired to renovate everything with three-star hotel standards, and the soft and hard service equipment was renovated, waiting for the official operation after the opening of Zhuxi Avenue.

After getting off the airport and stopping in front of the porch in front of Pengyue International Hotel, Song Tong jumped out of the car and said with emotion: "It's said that Donghua can't do it, I don't think so." This is the suburb of Donghua, right? Looking at it along the road, I don't feel that it is worse than the big city......

Shao Zheng helped take out the salute from the trunk, and when he heard Song Tong boasting that Meixi Town was well built, he said with a smile: "At the beginning, Secretary Shen insisted that street shops were prohibited on both sides of the newly built main road, and many people in the town did not understand; But listening to Miss Song's praise, it is really Secretary Shen's foresight......"

"People, there is a saying that if the countryside wants to cover up the appearance of poverty and backwardness, you have to have a variety of trees," Shen Huai said with a smile, "There are not many places in Meixi Town that can be planted in patches, except for the new roads to reserve a wider forest belt, it is necessary to see a variety of trees that are stitched and inserted, and then do a good job in the sanitation of the town, and the more dilapidated towns can also be cleaned up like the big girl and the little daughter-in-law......

"Your mind is on the big girl and the little daughter-in-law; to use an analogy, they all expose their true nature," Sun Yalin threw the backpack to Shen Huai, rubbed her waist and shouted tired, "The little plane is really uncomfortable, and I will never go to Yanjing with you in the future......"

At this time, Zhou Zhibai and Zhou Yu came out of the hall to greet each other, "Wow," Song Tong exaggeratedly screamed, grabbed Shen Huai's arm, and asked in a low voice, "Donghua really has a handsome guy! Who is he, is he married, does he have a girlfriend?"

Shen Huai knocked Song Tong's head with a smile and said, "You have a bit of the backbone of Miss Song Family, like a village girl who has never seen the world, I feel ashamed to go with you." ”

He had to admit that the Zhou family sisters and brothers were really beautiful and handsome, with the good genes of the Zhou family, and Zhou Zhibai was extra coquettish, in such a cold weather outside, he wore a navy blue four-breasted suit over his shirt, and the whole looked tall and extraordinary, and it was really a shelf that attracted big girls and little daughters-in-law to commit.

Shen Huai helped Song Tong and Sun Yalin with their luggage, plus they had been smoking and drinking too much in Yanjing these days, and they were like a little follower, so it was really difficult to compare with Zhou Zhibai for a while.

Shen Huai knocked on Song Tong's head, and waited for Zhou Zhibai and Zhou Yu to come over and help them introduce.

When Shen Huai and the others took the plane from Yanjing, it was already dark, and they had dinner on the plane, and it was almost nine o'clock at this time.

Shen Huai didn't think about who Song Tong would alarm on the first day he arrived in Donghua, but since he arranged for Song Tong to stay at Pengyue International Hotel, he called Zhou Zhibai in advance, but he didn't expect Zhou Zhibai to wait for them here in person, nor did he expect Zhou Yu to be here.

Shen Huai shook Zhou Yu's hand as if nothing happened, and said with a smile: "Why is Minister Zhou also in Pengyue?" Holding Zhou Yu's hand, he felt that his hand was warm and tender, and he couldn't wait to put it down if he grabbed it in his hand.

"Qingqing's grandfather invited a table of guests in Pengyue, and they just left after dinner; I heard that District Chief Shen came back today, so you waited here for a while. Zhou Yu didn't listen to the silent response, feeling that Shen Huai pinched her hand a little harder, so he pulled it back, afraid that this kid would tease her on the spot.

The small plane was uncomfortable, and Song Tong felt tired after arriving at the hotel; it was inconvenient to leave Song Tong alone in the hotel, and Sun Yalin didn't want to go back to the cold home that no one had taken care of for several days, so she sat down with Song Tong.

After settling down here, Shen Huai asked Shao Zheng to go back first, and he could take Zhou Yu's car back to Wenshan Garden together.
