Chapter 25: Relaxation

Lu Tao touched the ear that was hurt by He Ying, a wry smile appeared on his face, turned around and opened the door of his room with the key, saw Zhou Yihong still sitting on the sofa depressed, saw him come in, smiled reluctantly and said, "Xiao Lu, I really trouble you today." Although I know that you are not a soft-spoken person, I still want to tell you: The matter between me and Xiaoying is very complicated, and it cannot be said clearly in a few words, I hope you can keep this secret. As for what the relationship between me and her is, you will naturally know in the future, and you don't need to inquire now. Okay, let's go out for a walk together! When I came here just now, I saw that the small hill behind this community was nice, the greenery was very good, and the slope was not steep, which was very suitable for hiking, so we went there for a walk. ”

Lu Tao agreed, and then under the pretext of making it convenient, he ran to the toilet and hurriedly sent a message to Fu Lei on his mobile phone, with only six words: "We'll come out immediately." ”

Five minutes later, Zhou Yihong and Lu Tao walked out of the aisle between the fifth and sixth buildings of the community and came to the main road outside. Lu Tao subconsciously looked ahead, and sure enough, he found that Fu Lei was standing on the side of the road two meters away, putting his mobile phone to his ear, and pretending to be making a call.

When Zhou Yihong and Lu Tao approached, Fu Lei deliberately stared at this side, and suddenly showed a surprised expression on his face, immediately put the mobile phone in the bag, walked over quickly, and greeted with a smile on his face: "Secretary Zhou is good, Xiao Lu is good! Why is it so coincidental? I happen to live in this community, and I just came here to ask a friend to go for a walk together, I didn't expect Secretary Zhou that you are also walking with Xiao Lu, it's so honored!"

Zhou Yihong looked at Fu Lei a little surprised, stretched out his hand to shake him, and asked, "Xiao Fu, which building do you live in? Didn't you go to the hotel to eat with the people in the county?"

"I live in the second unit of the third building in this community, and I just had something to do at home, so I asked Secretary Luo for leave to go home. Secretary Zhou, since you have arrived here, can you come to my house to sit down and have a cup of tea?"

Zhou Yihong showed a smile on his face, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I just ate a delicious meal at Xiaotao's house, and now my stomach is relatively distended, I want to take a walk on the hillside behind the community to eliminate food, so I won't bother your family." ”

Zhou Yihong knew that since he met Fu Lei here, it would be difficult to keep his whereabouts secret tonight, so he simply told him bluntly that he had just gone to Lu Tao's house for dinner......

Fu Lei pretended to suddenly realize "oh", looked at Lu Tao and said with a smile: "Xiao Lu, you are young, you can't see that you have such good cooking skills! What can be praised as a delicacy by Secretary Zhou is definitely not an ordinary level, if I have the opportunity, I must go to your house to taste your craftsmanship, you shouldn't refuse!"

Lu Tao also smiled: "If Minister Fu can afford me, you are welcome to come to my house at any time, not to mention anything else, a few home-cooked dishes can still be made, as long as Minister Fu does not dislike it." ”

Fu Lei saw that he looked calm and cooperated with him seamlessly, and his good impression of him increased a few points, and he said a few words "good" in his mouth one after another, and then said to Zhou Yihong with a smile: "Secretary Zhou, I also happen to have the habit of taking a walk after dinner, and I also like to climb the hillside behind the community." If you find it convenient, I'd like to go for a walk with you and Xiao Lu, okay?"

For such a request, Zhou Yihong naturally couldn't refuse, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then let's go to the back mountain together!"

In the process of walking, because of Fu Lei's presence, Zhou Yihong returned to his usual dignified and serious demeanor, and occasionally talked with Lu Tao and Fu Lei, but most of the time he was silent, which made Fu Lei, who wanted to be close to him, feel an invisible pressure, and he seemed to have become a little clumsy at this time......

About half an hour later, the three of them climbed to the top of the hillside, stood on a stone and looked down on the Taolin County below, feeling the cool breeze blowing from the woods in the west.

After standing at the top of the hill for a quarter of an hour, the three men turned and walked down the hill. When he was halfway down the mountain, Fu Lei suddenly heard a shout: "Lao Fu, why did you advance the time to climb the mountain today?" Didn't you always get to the top of the mountain at about half past eight? Now it's only a little after eight o'clock, why do you come down?"

As soon as Fu Lei heard the voice, he knew that it was Xie Benzhu, secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, who was greeting him, and responded with a smile: "Lao Xie, I had an early dinner today, and I happened to meet Secretary Zhou and Xiao Lu of the Local Taxation Bureau in the community, so I came to climb the mountain together." ”

It turned out that because it was already dark, Xie Benzhu only noticed Fu Lei who was walking in front, but he didn't see Zhou Yihong behind him clearly.

So, he hurriedly bowed his waist, greeted Zhou Yihong with a smile on his face, and introduced himself.

Zhou Yihong smiled and stretched out his hand to shake him, said two "good" words in his mouth, and didn't say anything more.

Fu Lei pointed to Lu Tao and said: "Lao Xie, this is Xiao Lu of the Local Taxation Bureau, named Lu Tao, who is currently stationed in Huaguang Village, Dalong Town, on behalf of the Local Taxation Bureau, to assist the village in carrying out the construction of a new countryside, and is a very talented and capable young talent. ”

When Xie Benzhu just ran to the three people, he saw Lu Tao and Zhou Yihong walking side by side and talking affectionately, thinking that he was Secretary Zhou's secretary or the city leader who accompanied the inspection, but he didn't expect that he was just a member of the mass work team of the Local Taxation Bureau, and he was shocked again, while shaking hands with Lu Tao warmly, he stared at him, but because the light was relatively dim, he could only see a vague facial outline, as if he was very handsome, and his figure was tall and straight, giving people a feeling of Yushu facing the wind.

After chatting with Lu Tao for a few words, Xie Benzhu was worried that Secretary Zhou would be impatient, so he said goodbye to the three of them and continued to climb to the top of the mountain, but during this period, he turned back several times and secretly glanced down a few times, with a thoughtful expression on his face......

After Zhou Yihong, Fu Lei and Lu Tao walked to the side of the road down the hillside, he made a phone call to the driver Xiao Liu, told him his current location, and told him to drive over immediately to pick him up and take him to the hotel.

After making the call, Zhou Yihong glanced at Fu Lei, who was standing beside Lu Tao respectfully, then turned his head to look at Lu Tao, and said with a smile: "Xiao Tao, I have to go to the provincial capital to do something this weekend, and I don't have time." If you don't have anything else to do next weekend, you can go to the municipal party committee to find me, come to my house for two days, and I still want to eat the dishes you made!"
