The next day, at seven o'clock in the morning, Chu Tianqi came to the township chief's office again, and when he left yesterday, he deliberately took the key to the door of the outhouse of her office.

The bedroom door was open, and Ning Junqi had already gotten up and was freshening up.

"You didn't eat in the morning, did you? This is milk tea for you, and bread. Chu Tianqi said.

Ning Junqi asked sensitively, "Where did you bring it from?"

"Of course, I bought it from a store outside, and I can't bring it from the cafeteria, right? Chu Tianqi said, poured boiling water into the milk tea cup, and put it on the TV cabinet with the bread.

Soon, Ning Junqi finished grooming, ate bread, and drank milk tea.

"I'll give you a cold compress a little more. Chu Tianqi said diligently.

"No need. Ning Junqi refused.

Chu Tianqi took out two mineral water bottles that had been frozen into ice and said, "The ice cubes are all here." ”

"Well, one last time. Ning Junqi said as if he had made a lot of determination.

Chu Tianqi paused for a moment, didn't say anything more, fetched cold water, put the ice cubes in the basin, and then put her right foot in it.

Ning Junqi's legs shook and didn't say anything.

While waiting, Chu Tianqi said something amusing while Ning Junqi was reserved and didn't laugh, and he didn't pick up the stubble. It wasn't interesting to talk to himself, so Chu Tianqi simply didn't say anything.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Ning Junqi's face changed color, and he gestured at Chu Tianqi, signaling not to make a sound. Chu Tianqi pretended to go out and open the door, but the angry Ning Junqi glared at him. Later, he obediently closed the bedroom door, leaving only a gap.

After two knocks on the door, there was a pause, and the sound of shoes going away was heard. Judging from the sound of leather shoes, it should be a woman.

Chu Tianqi showed a grinning expression. And Ning Junqi just breathed a long sigh of relief, and his face was as calm as water. He deliberately stared at her, but she deliberately avoided his gaze.

When the time for the cold compress came, Chu Tianqi helped Ning Junqi take out his feet, dry them gently, and put on his shoes.

"Go back, buy me a bottle of safflower oil by the way today. Ning Junqi said.

"I'm just getting ready to buy it, and I'll be painting it for you tomorrow night. Chu Tianqi said with a smile, "Don't worry, with me, a miracle doctor, by your side, you don't have to worry about this." ”

Ning Junqi said: "You...... Deputy Township Chief Chu, just help me buy it, I can wipe it myself, so I won't bother you. You don't have to give me any more cold compresses. ”

Listening to her words, Chu Tianqi felt very awkward, so he asked, "Why?"

Ning Junqi said calmly: "No why, I can do these things myself." Besides, you still have a lot of work to do, and you can't put all your energy into the little things of this mother-in-law. ”

"You...... Is it because you are embarrassed because of what happened yesterday?" Chu Tianqi smiled, "Then I have to bring you food, right? You don't want others to know that you are bad." ”

"Don't talk about that again, it's an accident. Ning Junqi said with a cold face, "I have a way to solve the matter of eating." ”

Listening to her cold words and looking at her expression, Chu Tianqi felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and said in his heart: What's the matter? Yesterday he was still enthusiastic, but today he is as cold as ice? Probably he can't wipe his face? Maybe it's the menstrual period.

"Okay. Chu Tianqi didn't know what to say, so he walked out of the township chief's office and closed the door.

……

When it was almost nine o'clock, Chu Tianqi received a call from the director, asking him to go to the township chief's office for a meeting in ten minutes to report on the inspection of the disaster.

Chu Tianqi put down the phone, printed the last two sentences on the computer, turned off the computer, and walked towards the township chief's office.

The door of the township chief's office was hidden, Chu Tianqi knocked on the door, and Ning Junqi's voice came from inside, "Please come in." Chu Tianqi pushed open the door and walked in.

Ning Junqi was sitting on the chair behind the desk, she glanced at Chu Tianqi who came in, did not speak, quickly lowered her head, and wrote on the paper. Chu Tianqi couldn't say anything, so he had to sit down on the sofa.

"Tuk tuk", the knock on the door sounded again, Ning Junqi said "Please come in", and as soon as the door opened, Hao Xiaoyan walked in.

"Xiao Chu, so early, I haven't seen you since you went out yesterday. Hao Xiaoyan said and sat down in the seat next to Chu Tianqi.

Chu Tianqi replied: "I didn't come back early yesterday, aren't you busy rushing for information today." ”

"Oh, I went to look for you in the morning and you weren't there. Hao Xiaoyan said, without waiting for him to answer, and said to Ning Junqi: "Township Chief, did you go out early today, or did you get up late? ”

Ning Junqi's face changed slightly, raised his head, and replied ambiguously: "Maybe I didn't hear it." ”

"Township Chief, why are your eyes swollen?" Hao Xiaoyan said, standing up and walking towards Ning Junqi.

"Oh, is there one? Maybe you didn't have a good rest, or maybe you slept on a pillow. Ning Junqi didn't look at Hao Xiaoyan, but looked away. Then he said, "Sister Hao, please open the curtains and open the door." ”

"Good. Hao Xiaoyan stopped her steps, came to the window and pulled the curtains and said, "No wonder I feel strange in the house, it turns out that the curtains have not been opened." Then he went and opened the door again.

Hearing Hao Xiaoyan's words just now, Chu Tianqi had been observing Ning Junqi's face, but Ning Junqi had been avoiding his gaze. He couldn't help but wonder in his heart: what the hell happened to her?

The civil and military forces came in, and then Liu Wentao, Gao Yuan, Jiang Ye, and the Minister of People's Armed Forces came one after another, and Wang Xiaoying was the last to come in.

"Township Chief, everyone has arrived. The director of the Party and Government Office asked Wenwu to count the number of people and said.

Ning Junqi raised his head and said, "Okay, then let's start the meeting." Each group reported first, and the first group was...... Deputy Township Chief Jiang, report first. ”

"Township Chief, the first stop I made with Secretary Huang yesterday was ......" Jiang Ye looked at his notebook and began to report.

Chu Tianqi saw clearly, her eyes were swollen a lot, and there were still some bloodshots in them. He wondered, "Didn't you find out yesterday?" and I wiped her tears. Did she cry again later? Did it hurt, or did it ...... I was so careless that I didn't even notice this morning. ”

"Listen up, everybody. After the first group reports, the second group to the fifth group report in turn. Ning Junqi interjected, and after speaking, he smiled apologetically at Jiang Ye, "Deputy Township Chief Jiang, continue." ”

Jiang Ye reported for about seven or eight minutes, and then Chu Tianqi, he reported for about five minutes, and he summarized a lot of data, which was more refined than Jiang Ye's. Immediately after the third group to the fifth group, the principal and deputy leaders all made reports. Five groups of eight people reported down, and it took about an hour.

During the whole reporting process, from time to time, someone paid attention to Ning Junqi's eyes, and Ning Junqi tried to avoid them, or lowered his head to make a record.

After the last report of the civil and military forces was completed, Ning Junqi raised his head and said, "Comrades, this time to inspect the disaster situation, the time is tight and the task is heavy. Some groups went to three villages, and some groups went to four villages, all of them went out early and came back very late, and they had to work overtime to sort out the data after they came back. Even the comrades who stayed in the township were not idle, not only to contact the county, but also to convey information to the various groups at all times. I see that some comrades have sunken eyes and haggard faces, and everyone has worked hard. To be honest, I haven't rested well, no, my eyes are still swollen. ”

Ning Junqi affirmed everyone's work attitude, and subtly explained the redness and swelling of his eyes, and several people nodded in agreement. Only Chu Tianqi understood in her heart: she wanted to cover up.

Ning Junqi continued: "Through the data reported by everyone, it can be seen that this rainstorm is heavier than last year's, and it has also caused significant property damage. Thankfully, there have been no casualties so far. This is the result of everyone's hard work and prevention before it burns, especially many village cadres have done a good job. When I was in Gangou Village, I saw with my own eyes that the village cadres evacuated several families to the village committee, and it was their resolute decision-making and timely action that prevented more than 10 people from being exposed to danger and harm in the collapsed and dilapidated houses......

Chu Tianqi listened and took notes, but he still wandered from time to time, and looked into her eyes from time to time, so that he was glared at by her twice.

Ning Junqi finally said: "Comrades, the disaster has happened, and the losses have been caused. As the most basic level of government and as township cadres who are in close contact with the people affected by the disaster, we have the obligation to lead them to do a good job in post-disaster reconstruction and to help them carry out post-disaster production work. On the premise of doing a good job in daily work, we must implement the tasks just arranged in place and do it in practice. In fact, the work of temporary arrangements itself belongs to the scope of their daily work, and it is just specially put forward to emphasize.

At yesterday's emergency enlargement meeting, Secretary Huang stressed that failure to do things should be punished, and outstanding achievements should be rewarded, which refers to the performance in the entire disaster fighting process, not the performance of yesterday. Before today's meeting, Secretary Huang called back and asked me to emphasize this matter. Therefore, please pay enough attention. Alright, adjournment. ”

Everyone left one after another, and Ning Junqi did not come out to say a few words to everyone as usual after the meeting, but sat in place, smiling and watching everyone.

……

Half an hour later, Chu Tianqi came to the township chief's office again.

Seeing Chu Tianqi go and return, Ning Junqi asked, "Deputy Township Chief Chu, is there something wrong?" The tone was cold, without a trace of joy, anger and sorrow.

Chu Tianqi put a carton on the desk and said, "This is safflower oil, you have to wait until forty-eight hours have passed before using it, remember to follow the instructions on the dosage and operation method." ”

"Thank you!" Ning Junqi only replied with two short words.

"You can apply cold water without ice cubes. Chu Tianqi advised again.

"I remembered. Ning Junqi's answer was still very brief.

Chu Tianqi stood in place, stunned.

"Is there anything else?" asked Ning Junqi without raising his head.

"What should I do with dinner?" Chu Tianqi asked what he had been thinking about.

Ning Junqi raised his head: "I have already explained to Xiaoyao of the Party and Government Office, I am busy with work these days, let her help me bring the meal to the office." ”

Chu Tianqi let out an "oh", there was nothing more to say, so he had to turn around and walk outside.

"Be aware of your injuries as well. Ning Junqi's voice came from behind him, Chu Tianqi was stunned and stopped. Immediately after, her words came again, "Bring the door for me from the outside." ”

After hearing these words, he no longer hesitated, walked out of the township chief's office, and closed the door. There is only one question that has been haunting my mind: what happened to her?
