Director Xia, there is a good name, called Summer. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info, but Zhao Qingru prefers to call him Xia Yan (Wang Ba). Director Xia has a good errand, the Unified Arrangement Committee for Educated Youth to the Countryside, referred to as the Director. Don't look at the low position, take control of all the educated youths in Fengyao County. What goes home to visit relatives, return to the city to go to college, recruit workers, etc., but as long as you are with the educated youth, this guy can be the master of most of the master, and the remaining half also has the right to speak.

Zhao Qingru has only dealt with this guy twice before and after, but on the surface, it is actually once. As for the second time, he secretly hid in the corner, and didn't let Director Xia find out.

Zhao Qingru's first impression of Director Xia was not too good. A person who plays official at every turn, and always looks at Zhao Qingru with strange eyes. If Zhao Qingru is really just a little girl who has just graduated from junior high school, she may not notice that Director Xia's gaze at her is a little wrong, and even if she can't figure it out, she will be grateful for Director Xia's extraordinarily enthusiastic concern, and feel that Director Xia is a kind elder.

However, Zhao Qingru's immature little body contains a mature soul, such as "nothing to do, be diligent and be a thief", Zhao Qingru is always vigilant and hints at himself. Director Xia's idea is fancy, and Zhao Qingru can roughly guess a few points.

Actually, it's not hard to guess. It's not just for money, it's for power, or it's for beauty? When they first met, Zhao Qingru asked herself that she was quite low-key, and there was nothing too out of the ordinary. However, judging from Director Xia's reaction after knowing his name, Zhao Qingru had reason to suspect that someone had greeted Director Xia in advance.

The so-called greeting, of course, is not to let Director Xia take special care of her, and if she can't figure it out, she still wears small shoes.

Zhao Qingru didn't have any definite evidence, and the reason why she felt so much was just because of Director Xia's accent, which was strikingly similar to the old white lotus Du Juan'er, that she was on guard. Before, when Zhao Qingru was at home, he stole the old white lotus and turned it into a phoenix. On the surface, Du Juan'er really didn't dare to talk about this matter on the table. But this breath is impossible for anyone to swallow easily. What's more, the front foot also cleared the door of the family of three with one foot.

The so-called new hatred and old ruthlessness, if there is no follow-up counterattack, it will be called hell.

Coupled with Director Xia's strange reaction, Zhao Qingru really has reason to believe that it is not a persecution paranoia. It's a pity that after more than a month, I still see what Director Xia has done. Thinking about it, this has something to do with Zhao Qingru staying at home all day long. Otherwise, she was delayed by something more important next to her, and she didn't bother to clean her up.

In fact, Zhao Qingru really didn't guess wrong.

For more than a month, Director Xia really didn't care about it. In the first week, I had to be busy with my own work, and I had to arrange all the young people from the big city, and by the way, I had to send those old young people. While busy with his own work, he also had to work tirelessly sorting out the good things that were smuggled out of the scrapyard. After that, he greeted Master Zhou from Xiangjiang to discuss cooperation matters.

Finally, I sorted out the good things that Master Zhou liked and packed them, I thought that this year's cooperation had come to a successful end, who would have thought that something would happen. Isn't it a hell that the whole five boxes of good things have somehow turned into ice cubes. In order to track down the good things in the five wooden boxes, Director Xia hadn't slept well for more than a week.

"That little girl, do you still recognize me?" Director Xia, who had just had a full meal, naturally recognized Zhao Qingru. Director Xia didn't expect it, but I haven't seen her for more than a month, she didn't have a few taels of meat on her face, and her face was a little dull yellow, and her facial features gradually grew, and she became more beautiful than before.

"Who are you, you. "Zhao Qingshan, who was escorted to Shenjiawa Village to be an educated youth before, didn't know Director Xia, at most he had only heard of it, but he hadn't seen him. At this time, seeing an old man's face squinting, he looked at his precious sister, and immediately protected Zhao Qingru behind him, and said angrily.

"Brother, this is Director Xia of the Zhi'an Council. Zhao Qingru took the initiative to solve his eldest brother Zhao Qingshan's confusion before Director Xia's attack, and by the way, he said hello to Director Xia and introduced each other, "Hello Director Xia, this is my eldest brother Zhao Qingshan." ”

"It turns out that you are the little girl's eldest brother-in-law. Little comrade, it's good to know that you are protecting your sister. However, when talking to people when you are away from home, especially with your elders, you must be polite...... palapala……”

Director Xia didn't know which nerve was misplaced, so he still preached in an official tone as soon as he came up. It's also a shame that he didn't say to the big bowl of boiled fish fillets on the table that they don't have, otherwise, the faces of the Zhao Qingru brothers and sisters would only be more ugly.

Just as Director Xia was chattering there to make a report, and Zhao Qingru frowned slightly and considered whether to change the topic, a light laugh came from the side.

"I said, Lao Xia, don't you give an introduction?"

Only then did Zhao Qingru notice that Mr. Zhou had walked to Director Xia's side at some point. I saw that Mr. Zhou was wearing a light-colored tunic, black trousers and black leather shoes. With his left hand in his trouser pocket, he looked at Zhao Qingru with a smile.

"Little girl, this is Mr. Zhou. ”

"Zhou Liren. I don't know what's your name, girl?" Obviously, Zhou Liren was not very satisfied with Director Xia's introduction to him, so he took the initiative to report to his family. When asking Zhao Qingru's name, there was an obvious pause between "little" and "girl". is as smart as Zhao Qingru, and immediately realized that the person in front of him was only afraid that he wanted to call himself "Miss" at the beginning.

In the next few decades, the title "Miss" will not be a good name. It's just that at this time, on the Xiangjiang side, I often use titles such as "Miss" and "Ms.", which is a little different from the "comrade" on the mainland.

"Hello Uncle Zhou, my name is Zhao Qingru, this is my brother Zhao Qingshan. Zhao Qingru smiled back, and with Zhou Liren's "girl" title, she directly gave Zhou Liren a seniority.

Zhou Liren's eyebrows were slightly raised, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he smiled lightly: "Well, okay." ”

"Uncle Zhou, Director Xia, don't you want to eat together?" My brother just ordered me boiled fish fillets, and we are about to eat. Zhao Qingru invited with a grin. This time when they came to the restaurant for dinner, Zhao Qingru and his sister ordered two dishes, in addition to a large bowl of boiled fish fillets, there was also a pot of hot and sour shredded potatoes.

The old white lotus's hometown doesn't eat spicy, and the people here in Fengshan County don't know how to eat spicy, Director Xia and the old white lotus Du Juan'er are really fellow villagers, most of them can't eat spicy, and there are not many people in Xiangjiang who are only afraid of eating spicy. Zhao Qingru made it clear that she didn't want to entertain Zhou Liren and Director Xia for dinner, but she pretended to be polite.

It's a pity that Zhou Liren can eat spicy, but he can't eat too spicy.

Zhou Liren, who had already briefly used some lunch, had a keen insight into Zhao Qingru's idea of careful thinking, so he stretched out his long arms, pulled over the stool on the side, sat directly next to Zhao Qingru, and said with a smile: "It's just right, I haven't eaten enough." Let's go together. ”

Zhao Qingru was obviously stunned for a moment, and then turned his head sideways to his eldest brother Zhao Qingshan and said, "Brother, why don't you order two more dishes." Just now, I saw that saliva chicken and back to the pot meat are not bad. ”

"Ru'er ......"

"Go!" Zhao Qingru winked at his eldest brother.

"Oh. Zhao Qingshan, who vaguely guessed the thoughts of his baby sister, glanced at Zhou Liren, who was sitting on the seat next to Zhao Qingru, and stood up.

"Zhao girl, do you like to eat spicy?" Director Xia, who was sitting with him on the side, looked at the large bowl of red oil in front of him, and felt panicked, and then turned his head to look at the red dried chili pepper mixed with the shredded potatoes, and secretly said that it would not be spicy.

"yes. Zhao Qingru smiled brightly, and it took a long time as if she had just come back to her senses, "Uncle Zhou, Director Xia, shouldn't you be able to eat spicy food?" Otherwise, when my brother comes back, I will order something that is not spicy? I don't know if my brother has brought enough money and food stamps this time. ”

Director Xia raised his eyes and glanced at Zhou Liren on the side, and hurriedly said, "It's okay, it's okay." How can you please this meal, little girl. ”

"No! My mother has taught my brother and me since we were young that we can't eat other people's things casually! If my mother knows, you have to beat my ass!"

"That your Uncle Zhou is none other than that. ”

"yes......"

"If you can't, you can't. Zhao Qingru shook her head again and again, and directly interrupted Director Xia to continue, "Why don't I order two more dishes that are not spicy." Uncle Zhou, Director Xia, you eat first. I'll come when I go. ”

Before the words fell, Zhao Qingru stood up from his seat, and then squeezed into the crowd. This is the peak time for dining, when there are the most people.

"Hey, brother and sister, don't run away. Director Xia, who had been waiting for a while, looked at the gradually decreasing crowd and muttered.

"Well, I guess I ran away. From beginning to end, Zhou Liren had a faint smile on his face, and there was no sign of anger. In fact, people who really know Zhou Liren, or who have dealt with Zhou Liren, know that Zhou Liren, the eldest young master of the Zhou family, is not a good-natured master, and is even a little difficult to get along with.

But this time, Zhou Liren just didn't see the slightest bit of anger, and he was very tolerant for the first time.

"Ah, I really ran away. Director Xia immediately panicked, "Then, that Mr. Zhou...... I, I'm going to chase people back now. ”

"Not busy. You know that little girl, you should know where she lives?" Zhou Liren picked up the pair of chopsticks that Zhao Qingru had just clipped, and had not had time to eat it, and fished a piece of fish fillet very easily.

"Yes, yes. Director Xia nodded, "I only know some simple information about the little girl." ”

"Huh?"

"The little girl's hometown is in Sichuan Province, and she just turned fifteen years old this year. ”

"Fifteen, so small?!" Zhou Liren, who was eating boiled fish fillets, frowned, took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and said, "Go on, go on." ”

"The little girl and her sibling brother are both educated youths who went to the countryside to Shenjiawa Village, Datang Town......" Under the sound of Zhou Liren's right index finger tapping on the table, Director Xia stumbled and told everything he knew, and Zhao Qingru did not have much.

Director Xia cautiously observed Zhou Liren's face and confided out the last bit of information he knew.

"Mr. Zhou, I heard my fellow countryman say that the little girl's father is in the barracks. ”

"Is the information reliable?"

"It should be true. My fellow helped take care of the little girl for more than ten years, but some time ago, somehow, he was kicked out of the house by the little girl. No, my fellow villager heard that the little girl was going to come to Datang Town, Fengyao County, to go to the mountains and go to the countryside to be a educated youth, so he begged me to seize the opportunity to clean up this little girl. ”

Zhou Liren heard Director Xia say this, and his face suddenly became a little gloomy.

"And how are you going to clean up?"

"Of course it's ......" to clean up the educated youth, Director Xia is basically a three-fingered snail to catch it, it can be said that the business is quite familiar, but observing words and colors is also a proud skill of Director Xia. Director Xia, who had been paying attention to the change in Zhou Liren's expression, saw Zhou Liren's face change, and immediately realized something, so he changed his words, "I don't know what you think, Mr. Zhou, ......"

Zhou Liren ignored Director Xia, but stood up directly from his seat and walked straight towards the door. It's just that before leaving, Zhou Liren glanced at Director Xia coldly and said, "Since the thing is lost, I can only hurry up and get another one." ”

"Ah...... Mr. Zhou...... I'm afraid, I'm afraid...... It's really not easy. ”

"Really?"

Director Xia was directly scared into a cold sweat in the cold winter months.

"I, I'll try to ......"

On the other side, Zhao Qingshan, who had left early, didn't wait long for his sister, and saw Zhao Qingru walking towards him with a gloomy pout, so he hurriedly stepped forward and comforted: "It's okay, it's okay, brother will bring you to eat again." ”

"I don't eat it. It's not that in a few days, the village is going to release the water to catch fish. When the time comes, do it yourself at home. Zhao Qingru shook her head.

"Well, we do it ourselves at home. Zhao Qingshan rubbed his sister's head, and after successfully attracting Zhao Qingru's shout, he reluctantly stopped.

Because he checked out the bill first and then ate, he ordered a large bowl of boiled fish fillets, but he didn't eat a bite, and Zhao Qingru, who already likes to eat fish, especially boiled fish fillets, can imagine the depression in his heart. Of course, it was not a big deal that Zhao Qingru could not run away and eat generously with that Zhou Liren and Director Xia.

On the contrary, Zhao Qingru is a little bit of a thief, for fear that she will accidentally reveal her stuffing. The most important point is that neither Director Xia nor Zhou Liren are good people. Especially that Zhou Liren, Zhao Qingru directly read the word "dangerous" from him.

"Brother, let's go home first. ”

"It's fine. Zhao Qingshan thought about it and agreed. I went back to the grain, oil and non-staple food store with Zhao Qingru, and after taking the backpack that I had stored there before, I got on the bus back to the town.

"Ru'er, that Mr. Zhou, won't it be the person you met with the Spring Festival girl last time. Zhao Qingshan, who was sitting in the last row of the bus, lowered his voice and asked.

"Hmm. Zhao Qingru didn't expect his eldest brother to guess it so quickly, so he nodded, "I and Yingchun can see a back at most." However, Director Xia called that person 'Mr. Zhou', and then looked at Fang Cai's stuttering appearance, most of them were him. ”

"After going home, I will wake up with the Spring Festival girl and Grandma Qian. ”

"Hey. Brother, I'm sorry......"

"Silly girl. ”
