Although I slept late at the party, the whole family got up before five o'clock in the morning, and everyone made a fire and drank brown sugar water together. Use this custom to please the lottery: the people are prosperous, the family is prosperous.

At nine o'clock in the morning, after eating dumplings, the Chu Tianqi brothers went to pay New Year's greetings to the elders in the village. When people saw Chu Tianqi coming to the door, they were very enthusiastic, and they all praised the brothers, especially Chu Tianqi. But most people didn't dare to bear Chu Tianqi's worship anymore, and they didn't dare to let the other party drink more New Year's wine, as if they regarded Chu Tianqi as an official and put themselves in the position of the people.

He was looked down upon by others, and the Chu family was more respected by others, which should have been a happy thing, but Chu Tianqi couldn't be happy. He felt that he had separated from the villagers, and the relationship between the government and the people was not as close as before.

In the next few days, the Chu family entered the hospitality mode, they not only invited the village elders, but also received invitations from other people's families. Anyway, it's two drinks a day, and except for a little sober when I wake up in the morning, I'm almost dizzy all day.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Chu Tianqi made a special trip to Qingniuyu with gifts to visit Liu Wentao's family. When Chu Tianqi went to work in Qingniuyu, the first colleague he met was Liu Wentao, who took good care of Chu Tianqi, just like the eldest brother to his younger brother. not only helped him at work and instructed him on how to get along with others, but also took care of him a lot in life, Chu Tianqi felt that the relationship between the two was also a teacher and a friend. Later, Chu Tianqi rose all the way, but Liu Wentao hid behind, but Chu Tianqi has always taken the initiative to contact this big brother.

Seeing Chu Tianqi coming to the door, Liu Wentao and his wife were very happy, and they also felt very face-saving. Liu Wentao neither stuttered nor restrained, still like a colleague back then, the two talked and laughed, and talked very harmoniously.

In addition to presenting gifts, Chu Tianqi also gave Liu Wentao's son 500 yuan as a congratulatory to the child's admission to a key university last year. Liu Wentao only said that he could accept 100 yuan with a meaning, but he couldn't resist Chu Tianqi, so he had to comply with the other party's wishes.

Soon after Chu Tianqi entered the door, he drank with Liu Wentao and drank until more than two o'clock in the afternoon. Of course, during this period, they chatted while drinking, and the wine was also drunk very slowly, but it was this way of drinking that the two also drank up two bottles of liquor. Knowing that the other party's alcohol consumption was not as good as his own, Chu Tianqi took the initiative to drink more, but he was not drunk, and Liu Wentao was already unable to speak.

When Chu Tianqi was about to leave by shuttle, Liu Wentao insisted on seeing him off. Everyone couldn't resist Liu Wentao, and in the end, he had to be supported by his son and sent Chu Tianqi to the waiting point. In this process, whenever he met an acquaintance, Liu Wentao greeted each other from time to time, and he was satisfied with his words and expressions on his face, and he was satisfied with the New Year's greetings for this deputy director-level brother.

On the sixth and seventh days of the first lunar month, Chu Tianqi was still in the village in the mode of eating and drinking.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Chu Tianqi took a shuttle bus to the county seat to visit Zheng Yiping, Xia Xue, Wu Jinzhong, Zou Yingtao and others, and brought them local specialties such as dried mushrooms. Except for Xia Xue who did not return in the provincial capital, these people were all in the unit, and they all received the things brought by Chu Tianqi. Chu Tianqi had no choice but to entrust Zou Yingtao with the share given to Xia Xue. When everyone met, they not only sighed that time was in a hurry, but also congratulated Chu Tianqi on his ascension.

Bidding farewell to these former leaders and colleagues, Chu Tianqi went directly to Lei Peng's house, brought local products to Lei Peng, and gave Lei Peng's daughter New Year's money. In the evening, Lei Peng invited guests in the hotel, and asked Wenwu, Ergouzi and others to participate, and everyone drank happily. Then Chu Tianqi stayed in a hotel arranged by Wenwu, and the next day he was driven by Ergouzi and sent back to Liulinbao's house.

……

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, under the entrustment of his mother, Chu Tianqi got on the shuttle bus to the county seat, and he had to reverse several times to rush to Xuyuan County. Sitting in the car, looking back at Liulinbao Village, which was gradually disappearing until it was gone, Chu Tianqi's heart was full of reluctance to his parents and family, and attachment to his hometown.

Retracting his gaze and turning his body, Chu Tianqi leaned back in his chair and pretended to sleep. Although I have been drinking almost all these days, and my body is a little tired, I can't sleep at all, and as soon as I close my eyes, my parents' instructions jump into my mind.

Last night, the whole family held another plenary meeting, and the central topic was Chu Tianqi's marriage. After unanimous deliberation, the parents came to the conclusion that this must be implemented this year. In order to illustrate the importance of this matter, the mother raised the matter to the level of filial piety. Although his father was not as stern as he said, it was clear that he agreed with his mother's request, and what his mother said was what the two of them had in common. There is only one option, and it is the same with or without it. So, Chu Tianqi was noncommittal about this request, but responded with a smile, and his angry mother said something like "You don't fight with silence". Taking advantage of You Chunmei's return to the East House to rest, and taking advantage of Chu Lirui's failure to return to play cards, his father Chu Yuliang specifically asked about the longevity lock. It was only after seeing the real thing with his own eyes and examining it repeatedly that the nervous look on his face subsided, and then changed to a thoughtful look.

"Township Chief Chu", a greeting interrupted Chu Tianqi's thoughts. Chu Tianqi opened his eyes and saw Xiao Yao, a former colleague from the township, sitting next to him, so he started talking with the other party.

Someone chatted, time passed quickly, and before I knew it, I arrived at the county seat.

Saying goodbye to his colleagues, Chu Tianqi simply ate something and got on the shuttle bus to Woyuan City. This shuttle bus is much bigger than the one just now, and it is much cleaner, and the bus is relatively quiet. Not long after the shuttle bus walked out, Chu Tianqi fell asleep with the slight shaking of the vehicle.

Along the way, I woke up, woke up, and only when the shuttle bus stopped at the Woyuan bus station, Chu Tianqi ended this mode and got off the bus.

Looking at the time, it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon, Chu Tianqi did not stay too long, but took a taxi and went to the train station.

More than ten minutes later, the train station was already in sight, and Chu Tianqi found change in the pocket of his clothes to pay for the taxi when he got off the train. Just as he took out the change and raised his head, a sedan drove by outside the taxi, and at the moment of the wrong car, he saw a familiar face of the co-pilot.

It was her, Junqi, and with doubts, Chu Tianqi turned his head behind him. Through the rear glass, he saw the rear of the black sedan and the license plate hanging from the tail.

"Where to stop, this side or the other side?" said the taxi driver.

Turning his head, Chu Tianqi said, "Here, stop now." ”

"Okay. The driver agreed, slowly tapped the steering wheel, and the taxi slowly stopped on the side of the road.

"Give money. As soon as the taxi stopped, Chu Tianqi threw the change in his hand to the front, opened the right door, and jumped out of the car with his bag.

Standing on the side of the road, Chu Tianqi looked back and looked for the black car just now. There are cars coming and going on the road, where is there still the shadow of that car?

It seemed that he was too nervous, Chu Tianqi shook his head, and was about to withdraw his gaze. Suddenly, among the many vehicles parked on the side of the road on the opposite side in the distance, there was a black sedan that looked very similar to the one just now. It's just that the distance is a little far, and the sun reflects it, so I can't see the numbers on the license plate clearly.

In the middle of the ghost's mission, Chu Tianqi moved along the road towards the car. The distance is getting closer and closer, but the reflection of the sun's light is getting stronger and stronger, not only can I not see the numbers on it clearly, but even a little dazzling. Chu Tianqi hurriedly withdrew his gaze, looked straight ahead, and moved his steps.

Just as Chu Tianqi stopped and looked across the road again, a figure came into his line of sight, and that figure was coming out of a building and walking in the direction of the black car. The other party lowered his head slightly, holding the phone in his right hand and putting it to his ear, obviously making a call. The other party has long hair and a shawl, seems to be wearing a black peaked hat on his head, and is wearing a half-large beige trench coat. Although the weather is colder now, and the other party's clothes are looser, it is still difficult to hide that graceful figure. It's just that it doesn't seem to be slim, but too thin.

Although the other party lowered his head and his long hair covered most of his face, he also lost a lot of weight. But the temperament and walking pace of the whole person are clearly the person he thinks about day and night - Ning Junqi. Especially the small black bag on the other party's left shoulder further proves this, the small bag was given to her by Chu Tianqi.

Just now, because of the suspicious figure of her, the excited heartbeat accelerated, and now that Yiren is close at hand, Chu Tianqi doesn't know what to do. Seeing that the other party had already stepped to the black car, it would be too late if he didn't speak, his throat itched, and finally shouted out two words: "Junqi." ”

From time to time, there was the sound of wind and the sound of cars driving next to his ears, and this shout seemed insignificant, and I don't know if the other party could hear it? Just when Chu Tianqi was puzzled, the figure on the opposite side suddenly raised his head and looked around.

She heard it, and her eyes were almost there. Chu Tianqi was excited again, raised his right hand, and was about to wave it.

"Woo......", the sound of the car horn suddenly came into his ears, and then a green body appeared in Chu Tianqi's sight.

Chu Tianqi couldn't help but feel annoyed, because the body blocked the figure of the Yiren and covered the eyes of the Yiren. can be annoyed and annoyed, when Chu Tianqi saw the scene in front of him clearly, he was very temperamental. Now there is a convoy on the road, a convoy of green military trucks, what I just saw is only the head of the convoy, and there are many similar trucks behind. And the trucks were so tight that it was impossible to make eye contact through the gaps between the vehicles, let alone across the road.

In the tormented waiting, the military vehicle convoy was over, and Chu Tianqi's gaze was unhindered to the other side of the road. But where else is the figure of the Yiren? All he saw was the black sedan that had entered the main lane, and all he could see was the license plate number of the small section at the back of the car.

Just now, I thought it was God's mercy, and I specially arranged an encounter with the Yiren, but I didn't want it to be a regretful brushing shoulder. Where have the Iren gone?

With melancholy and regret, Chu Tianqi turned his head and looked around again. As far as his eyes could see, he found a pair of eyes, a pair of eyes that were staring at him.

The eyes quickly retracted, and the owner of the eyes turned around and ran.

"Chase", after shouting this word in his heart, Chu Tianqi turned around and quickly chased after him.
