When eating at the restaurant at noon, Chu Tianqi charged his mobile phone for a while in time to ensure that the mobile phone was unblocked. He took out his mobile phone and saw that the caller ID was an unfamiliar number, hesitated slightly, or pressed the answer button: "Hey, hello, who is it?"

There was a pause on the phone, and a girl's voice came out: "Township Chief Chu, where are you?"

"Oh, you're ...... I'm on the bus, and I'm going home. Chu Tianqi said into the phone, "Xiao Lu, thank you, I know that Yuquan Mineral Water Company can cooperate with us, mainly because of you." ”

"Giggles, Township Chief Chu, why does your mouth seem to be smeared with honey? Lu Jiaojiao's grinning voice came, "The reason why Yuquan Mineral Water Company initially agreed to cooperate is mainly because of the prospect of this project, and the businessman is rational for the purpose of profit. ”

"That being said, if it weren't for you in the middle and your father's relationship, this project would not have entered the field of vision of Yuquan Company, let alone a series of subsequent contacts. Chu Tianqi said sincerely, "So, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you on behalf of both myself and Qingniuyu Township!"

"The tone is not small, do you think that you are the little lover of the township secretary and can represent the township?" Lu Jiaojiao said, after speaking, the topic changed, "Chu Tianqi, I'm leaving, my mission to the township is complete." At the beginning, I was also attracted by your personality charm, and I wanted to come to the township to do something practical, and after nearly a year of hard work, I finally got such a thing. I originally wanted to say goodbye to you in person, but I didn't think that it would be a coincidence, but we will definitely have the opportunity to meet in the future. I believe that you will have a great future in the future, so work hard. Bye-bye, buddy. ”

"Bye-bye, have a good trip, there will be a period later!" Chu Tianqi said sincerely.

"By the way, you must have another question, let me tell you the answer, Wang Yuyan is the only daughter of Chairman Wang of Yuquan Group. But don't beat other people's ideas, or your vinegar jar should be pantothenic acid again. Giggle...... Lu Jiaojiao didn't wait for Chu Tianqi to answer, and hung up the phone directly.

Chu Tianqi smiled self-deprecatingly and put away his phone.

……

When the shuttle bus arrived at the stop in Qingniuyu Township, Yang Daqing was waiting there, and there were large bags of things next to him, which were Chu Tianqi's personal belongings that he had packed on the 6th. When Chu Tianqi set off from the Yuchi County Bus Station, he had already made a call to the Qingniuyu Township Party and Government Office, and asked Xiaoyao to tell Yang Daqing the time of the shuttle bus he was taking, and asked Yang Daqing to help take out his things in advance.

Chu Tianqi jumped out of the car, and together with Yang Daqing, loaded his things onto the shuttle. Yang Daqing reluctantly said goodbye to Chu Tianqi, Chu Tianqi also had some sour feelings in his heart, but fortunately, the shuttle bus was on the road again soon, and the two had to wave goodbye.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Chu Tianqi returned to Liulinbao Village.

Seeing their son go home, Chu Yuliang and his wife were very happy, especially You Chunmei was even more excited, guarding their son to ask questions and talk about long and short things. Chu Yuliang sat on the side, only listened and didn't speak, enjoying his wife's nagging there with interest.

Chu Yuliang, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly said, "Tianqi, it's not right." Seeing that you don't pack a small bag, it seems that you have brought back all your clothes and supplies, is there something wrong?"

You Chunmei was talking about the rise, but was interrupted by her wife halfway, and she was a little dissatisfied. When she heard that it was about her son, she couldn't care about being upset, and then asked, "Dog, yes, is there something wrong?"

Looking at his parents' anxious expressions, Chu Tianqi's heart warmed, knowing that they were worried about themselves. So, he replied with a smile: "It's a little thing, but it's a good thing." I'm going to study at the Provincial Party School for three months, and I'll leave tomorrow. ”

You Chunmei hurriedly asked, "Study, do you still want to go to school, haven't you graduated from college?"

Going to a party school and going to a university are two different things. The party school is specially set up for their sons and their party members and cadres, and going to the party school for training generally means that they will be promoted or reused. Chu Yuliang corrected.

The nervous look between You Chunmei's eyebrows had not disappeared, and she looked at her son and asked, "Is it really what your father said?"

Chu Tianqi nodded: "Almost." ”

You Chunmei's face was suddenly full of joy: "That's good, that's good." It doesn't matter if you are a big official or not, as long as you don't want the unit, or you don't want the unit. ”

Chu Tianqi smiled and said, "Mom, is your son so unreliable?"

"What do you think? Three years ago, didn't you just come back without saying hello? Do you know that you were a teacher in the city, and how many people in the village were red-eyed? A good iron rice bowl, you say throw it away. You Chunmei chattered.

Chu Yuliang scolded: "How many years have Chen sesame rotten grain, what are you talking about?"

"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, won't I just talk about it?" You Chunmei replied to her wife, and then said to her son: "The dog is promising, and he is not a teacher, so he will become an official in the township, and he can be promoted every year." I'm going to study at the party school this time, and I don't know what kind of official I can promote you when I come back?"

Chu Tianqi didn't know how to answer for a while, but just smiled.

"Don't be idle, keep your mouth in mind, and don't talk nonsense. Chu Yuliang scolded again.

"Old thing, is it gunpowder or what's wrong with it? You Chunmei-for-tat, "When will I go out and talk nonsense?"

"It's good if you don't say it," Chu Yuliang snorted.

Seeing that the old couple was fighting again, Chu Tianqi coughed vigorously twice, and the two stopped talking for the time being.

So, Chu Tianqi began to take things out from those bags on the ground, and gave some things to his mother.

Picking up the box handed over by her son, You Chunmei asked, "You said that these things were given by Miss Xiaoning?"

"Yes, he originally said that he would come to see you after work during the Spring Festival, but during this period of time, there were too many things in the township, and she couldn't get out of the way, so she asked me to bring things back. Chu Tianqi explained for Ning Junqi.

"Oh, that's right. I haven't seen Miss Ning for so long, I thought you two had a conflict. That's good, that's good. You Chunmei chattered while looking at the boxes happily.

"Hmph, it's a day of blind thought. Chu Yuliang scolded, "I don't want others to be good." ”

"What's wrong with you today? The nose is not the nose, the face is not the face, you are picky about whatever I say. You Chunmei said, stood up and walked out.

Seeing his wife walk out angrily, Chu Yuliang lost his temper and chatted with Chu Tianqi without saying a word.

Chu Lirui went out to run errands again, and it would take two or three days to come back. During the meal, only Chu Tianqi was with his parents, and his mother specially made his favorite red bean rice, which was stir-fried meat and sauerkraut vermicelli and celery fragrant liver. During the meal, Chu Yuliang was extremely attentive to his wife, and tried his best to say good things, and soon You Chunmei's face was also happy. During the whole meal, the three of them talked and laughed, and Chu Tianqi also drank two cups with his father.

At night, You Chunmei rested alone in the east house, and Chu Tianqi accompanied her father to sleep in the west house.

As soon as he lay down and said a few words, Chu Tianqi knocked on the head of the sleeping insect and fell asleep. He spent all the past few days on the train, sometimes standing on the ticket, and he was busy during the day, so he was very tired and lacked sleep. He slept soundly this night, and did not wake up until his thirsty throat was dry in the middle of the night. After drinking a glass of water on the ground, he was about to continue to sleep, but found that his father, who usually snored and snored, did not move today. He remembered that when he was asleep, his father was still talking from time to time, could it be that during the time he was asleep, his father never slept?

At this moment, my father spoke: "Go to sleep, it's early." ”

Chu Tianqi let out an "um" and lay down. After going down to the ground and drinking water, he couldn't sleep.

The father next to him also turned over from time to time, apparently not falling asleep. He was a little strange, strange about his father's abnormality, usually his father stuck to the pillow, let alone drinking, and the snoring only sounded. What's going on today?

In fact, as soon as Chu Tianqi entered the house, his father was a little abnormal. To be precise, after he said that he wanted to study at the Provincial Party School, his father's mood became irritable, and he found fault with his mother's words from time to time and choked her with words.

Father Chu Yuliang usually has a good temper, especially after waking up from this serious illness, his temper is surprisingly good. So why is he doing this today? Is it because he is going to the party school? No, he has been studying in the provincial capital for four years and working in the city for two years. At that time, although he was far away, his father always told him to study and work with peace of mind, but this time he only went for three months, so what could my father not think about? Besides, going to a party school for further study was a good thing in itself, and my father had no reason to be unhappy.

Could it be that it was because of this? Then what else could it be? In his thoughts, Chu Tianqi fell asleep again, and he still dreamed. He dreamed about what happened when he was a child, he was with his parents, and the family talked and laughed, and they were happy.

When Chu Tianqi came to sleep, the scene in the dream was still vivid, but the parents in the dream were both like Chu Yuliang and You Chunmei, but they didn't seem to be very similar.

"Tianqi, wake up?" Chu Yuliang had already gotten up in advance and stood on the ground where Chu Tianqi had risen.

"Just woke up. Dad, you're already up?" Chu Tianqi sat up and asked as he got dressed.

"I've just gotten up, too. Chu Yuliang said, handing over a metal thing, "Tianqi, take this and take it with you." ”

Chu Tianqi took it and saw that it was a long-lived lock, like silver, with a chain on the lock. The lock is flattened, with two warped ends and a concave middle. There is a ruyi pattern on it, and it is also engraved with the words "long life is precious". The upturned part holds the ends of the chain in place, making it easy to hang the longevity lock around your neck.

Chu Tianqi smiled: "Dad, this is ......"

"This is what you wore when you were a kid. Chu Yuliang took over the conversation.

At this time, You Chunmei shouted in the outhouse, "It's time to eat." ”

Chu Yuliang glanced at Chu Tianqi and said in a low voice: "Hurry up and put it up, don't let your mother see it." With that, he was already on crutches and walked out.

Chu Tianqi stuffed the longevity lock into his satchel, washed briefly, and walked to the outhouse.

……

Chu Tianqi still took the morning bus, and there was only one shuttle bus passing through the village, otherwise he would have to take it in the township.

After half an hour, the shuttle bus arrived at Qingniuyu Township. Through the car window, you can see the whole picture of the township compound. Looking at the familiar buildings, familiar everything, Chu Tianqi silently thought in his heart: Farewell, Qingniuyu.
