Feng Yunlai was stunned for a moment, and then immediately smiled again: "What, my brother and sister don't plan to leave when they come over, do they?" ”

Xue Fei glanced at the kitchen and said, "What brother and sister, she's not my girlfriend, she's just an ordinary friend." ”

Feng Yunlai definitely didn't believe it, "Ordinary friends? Pull it down. It's boring for you to be like this, we all slept together last night, and the window paper was pierced, why don't you admit it, how sad it would be if you let your younger siblings hear this. ”

"How do you know I'm sleeping with her? I slept on the floor last night. ”

"Don't make a fuss, sleep on the ground, do you think I'll believe it?"

"Believe it or not, do I need to lie to you? What's in it for me to lie to you? ”

"She's really not your girlfriend?" Feng Yunlai saw that Xue Fei's serious face was also a little vague.

"You can go to my room and take a look, the quilt roll I laid on the floor last night is still on the bed." Xue Fei pointed to his room and said.

Feng Yunlai walked to the door and looked at the bed, there was really a quilt roll on the bed, and he believed that Xue Fei really slept on the ground last night. He also had questions: "Since she is not your girlfriend, why did she come to you?" Why did you move out? ”

Xue Fei couldn't tell Feng Yun the whole truth, after all, Feng Yunlai was not Qu Yuanyuan, and it involved Luan Feng's privacy, so Xue Fei could only make a long story short, pick what he could say, he said that Luan Feng was alone, he was like a brother and sister with him, and there was nowhere to go, so he ran to the extreme north to find him. Moving out is because the room is limited, and it is inconvenient to live together, so it is more appropriate to move out.

"I see. Seriously, although the two of us haven't known each other for a long time, I have to say that the two of us are quite angry, and I am really reluctant to let you go. Besides, you have a girlfriend, and if she knows that you live with a girl, she won't blow it up. "Feng Yunlai is a very emotional person, and what he says is also from his heart. Thinking of Luan Feng's situation, he turned his mind and said, "You see if this will work, I have an idea, not only can you continue to live here, but also find a place for Luan Feng to live, how about it?" ”

"What's the idea?" Xue Fei asked with interest.

"Luan Feng must find a job when she comes to the Far North, right, it's better to let her find a job in charge of food and housing, this will all be solved."

Xue Fei's eyes lit up when he heard this, this is a good idea, not only solves the problem of Luan Fengzhu, but also solves the problem of work by the way, it is like killing two birds with one stone.

And from the bottom of his heart, Xue Fei really didn't want to live with Luan Feng, although he had lived together in Bingcheng before, but the situation was different from now, and after all, men and women are different, and they are not boyfriend and girlfriend, so it is always inconvenient to live together. If Luan Feng can really find a job in charge of food and housing, then Xue Fei is still very happy to see it.

"That's a good idea, but where did you find the kind of job you said?" Xue Fei felt that it might not be easy to find in the extreme north.

"People in the far north, just the restaurant where we went to eat, they have been recruiting waiters, taking care of food and housing, but I don't know if Luan Feng is willing to be a waiter."

"Really? I really didn't pay attention. In this way, you will say to Luan Feng after a while, you know, what I want to say is not very good. Xue Fei was always afraid that Luan Feng would think too much and think that he didn't welcome her.

"No problem, I'll tell her." Feng Yunlai responded in one bite.

During the meal, Feng Yunlai first praised Luan Feng's cooking skills, praised Luan Feng with a smile, and then mentioned work to her.

Feng Yunlai pretended to be very casual and said, "I heard Xue Fei say that you can't stay, have you thought about what job to find?" ”

"Not yet, I'm going to go out and have a look in the next two days." Luan Feng said.

"I know that a restaurant is recruiting waiters, which is quite close to our community, I wonder if you are interested?" Without waiting for Luan Feng to speak, Feng Yunlai said again: "To be honest, I think it's quite suitable for you, the main thing is to take care of food and housing, which is particularly important." You think that if you find another job, you will have to take care of your own room and board, and the wages in the far north are low, so you won't have any money left in a month. It's different to manage food and housing, you don't need to spend money on food and lodging, how much you earn and how much you have left, don't you say? ”

Luan Feng listened to Feng Yunlai's words, and looked at Xue Fei, seeing that Xue Fei lowered his head to eat without squeaking, she seemed to understand something in her heart, and felt a little disappointed, but she didn't show it on her face.

"That makes sense, which hotel, I'll ask tomorrow." Luan Feng said calmly.

"The Far North is diagonally opposite the community. I'll always go, I'm familiar with their boss, or I'll take you there tomorrow. Seeing that Luan Feng agreed, Feng Yun came to see Xue Fei.

"Okay, that's for you."

Although Luan Feng looked no different from usual on the surface, from her eyes, Xue Fei still caught something, and he could probably guess what she was thinking, but from his standpoint, he still felt that it was better to live separately from Luan Feng.

The next day, Feng Yunlai took Luan Feng to the extreme north to apply for a job, because the requirements for waiters in small restaurants are not so high, it doesn't matter if you haven't done it, as long as you are diligent, so Luan Feng was hired on the spot, with a probation period of one month, and then moved into the dormitory with her luggage.

Originally, he was going to look for a house on the weekend, but now that he didn't have to look for a house, Xue Fei called Meng Desheng and learned that he had time, so he went to Anling.

At this meeting, Meng Desheng called Xue Fei to his home, and because he lived alone and couldn't cook, he had to order takeout from outside.

"How's your work going?" Meng Desheng asked.

"Hey, I'll tell you the truth, it's not good." Xue Fei said with a sad face.

"Oh, why not, tell me about it."

"You are the deputy mayor of Anling, and you also said that you are more concerned about tourism, and I believe you should also know something about the situation in Jibei County. The biggest problem now is that there is no money, I can't build an airport, I can't build a scenic spot, and if I want to develop tourism, it can only be a slogan, so after I arrived at the tourism bureau, I was worried about this matter every day. Xue Fei came here for money, so he didn't make many detours and directly said the core problem.

Meng Desheng does have a certain understanding of the situation in the extreme north of the county, and he is very optimistic about the development of tourism in the extreme north county, which has tourism resources, and once it is developed, it is just around the corner to get rid of poverty and become rich.

Of course, Meng Desheng also knew about the lack of money, and he asked, "Have you ever looked for the county?" ”

Xue Fei nodded, "I've found it, and County Magistrate Hao said that the county's finances are tight and he can't come up with money." ”

Meng Desheng sighed lightly and said: "Anling is a poor place, the county town below is naturally not rich, and the construction of airports and scenic spots is a huge project, not to mention that your county, even the city can't come up with so much money, it is indeed difficult." I know the purpose of your visit, and I can't give you an accurate answer right now, but I will mention your matter to the city and even the province, hoping to help you solve this difficulty as soon as possible. But if you want to develop tourism, you can't rely entirely on financial allocation, even if the government solves it, it can only solve part of the problem, and you still have to figure out the rest by yourself, the government encourages investment promotion, you should work this. ”

Xue Fei nodded and said: "I know this, if the Far North wants to start tourism, it is imperative to attract investment, and it is indeed impossible to rely on the government to get money." But like the construction of airports, I think the relevant regulations stipulate that they are not open to private capital at present, and whether there is an airport is a key factor in the success or failure of attracting investment, even if there are enterprises interested in investing in tourism in the far north, but once they know that the transportation is not convenient, I am afraid they will be discouraged, what do you say? ”

"Well, that's right, it seems that you already have a certain understanding of tourism, which is good. In fact, whether it is in work or life, there will always be difficulties of one kind or another on the way forward, and people's greatest joy, or the greatest sense of achievement, comes from the process of overcoming difficulties and achieving success. If work and life are always smooth sailing, it is not interesting. Meng Desheng said with a smile.

"You're right, it's true." Xue Fei agreed with Meng Desheng's words.

A week later, Xue Fei called Meng Desheng to ask him about the progress of the matter, and Meng Desheng's reply was that he had already reported the situation to the city, and it was also discussed at the municipal party committee meeting, and the city must support the development of tourism in Jibei County, but the money that the city finance can come up with is really limited, and it still needs to be reported to the province.

For a period of time after that, Xue Fei would call Meng Desheng almost every week, and also went to Anling twice, but unfortunately things still did not progress, and each time the reply was "No news yet, we have to wait".

Xue Fei didn't know when he would have to wait, but he had to wait, otherwise there was no other way, because if the construction of the airport was not implemented for a day, the matter of attracting investment would not be put on the agenda for a day, and the construction of the scenic spot would be even more far away, so all he could do was pray silently, praying that good news would come soon.

The result of the prayer was that there was no news related to travel, but a news related to Meng Desheng. When Xue Fei was chatting with Xie Changshun on the phone, he learned from Xie Changshun that Meng Desheng was about to be corrected and become the mayor of Anling City.

Sure enough, a few days later, the Anling City People's Congress was officially held, Meng Desheng was elected as the mayor of Anling City, Xue Fei called to congratulate, and felt that this was definitely a good thing for the tourism development of Jibei County, after all, the mayor's rights are not comparable to the deputy mayor.

In a flash, the New Year is coming soon, and there will definitely be no news before the year of tourism. Before the holiday, Xue Fei went to Anling, he didn't go to inquire about the news, but simply visited Meng Desheng, after all, it was the New Year, and there should still be etiquette.

This time I went to Xue Fei to buy some things, which provoked Meng Desheng very dissatisfied: "Xue Fei, I have to criticize you, you have only been a leader for a few days, you are so bureaucratic, this is not good." ”

Xue Fei smiled and defended: "Uncle Meng, you really wronged me, I didn't buy you something to slap the horse, I came here today as a junior to visit the elders, and the New Year is about to begin, I came to see you, how can I be empty-handed, I can't say anything about it." ”

Hearing Xue Fei say this, Meng Desheng's anger disappeared at once, but when he saw that Xue Fei also bought vegetables and meat, he was still puzzled and asked, "Why are you buying these, I don't know how to cook." ”

"I know you don't know how to cook, I will, dare to show it in front of you today and see how I'm doing."

"You can cook, yes, then I'll have to try it."

Xue Fei made four dishes and one soup, all of which were his specialties. Meng Desheng was very happy, and specially took out a bottle of good wine that had been treasured for many years and drank it with Xue Fei.

Xue Fei tasted the dishes he made, and thought that his performance today was average, not his best level. But after Meng Desheng tasted it, he praised it again and again: "It's so delicious, I think you have more money to open a restaurant at this level, it's great, I haven't eaten such a delicious meal for a long time." ”

Xue Fei could see that what Meng Desheng said came from the heart, not deliberately praised, and he was very happy. However, there is one thing that Xue Fei has always been very curious about, he said: "Uncle Meng, there is something I want to ask, but I don't know whether to ask or not, I am afraid that you will be angry if you ask." ”

Meng Desheng didn't have any taboos, he said: "Just ask whatever you want, I don't pay so much attention to this person in private." ”

"Then I'll ask. Why are you alone in your house, and what about the others? "At Meng Desheng's age, he must have a wife and children, but Xue Fei came a few times, and every time Meng Desheng was at home alone, I don't know where everyone else is.

Meng Desheng listened to Xue Fei's question, his face suddenly became solemn, he didn't speak, but took a sip of the wine in the cup.

Xue Fei was afraid that he would make Meng Desheng unhappy, and seeing that Meng Desheng's face had changed, he hurriedly asked, "Uncle Meng, did I say the wrong thing?" ”

Meng Desheng waved his hand and said, "No, you didn't say the wrong thing. My lover passed away in a car accident a few years ago, and my daughter married abroad and settled there, and I was usually busy with work and didn't have much time to come back, so I was the only one in the family. ”

Meng Desheng suddenly smiled again, he said: "Your kid's cooking skills are really good, it suits my appetite very much, it's best to run to me more often in the future, and save me, a lonely person, I can't wait to eat out three times a day, I really have eaten enough." ”

Meng Desheng's words were a little sad, and Xue Fei couldn't help but sigh with emotion, the mayor who looked high on the outside, after all, was a flesh-and-blood person, without a family, without relatives by his side, he was an unhappy person, but very few people could know.

At the same time, Xue Fei also understood why today's meal was average for him, but Meng Desheng thought it was delicious. As Meng Desheng, there must be countless delicious foods that have been eaten, but the meals outside are different from those made at home after all, and the difference is not only in taste, but more importantly, in feeling, and mood. I don't feel right, I'm not in a good mood, even if I eat something delicious in my mouth, I'm afraid it will be tasteless.

During the meal, Xue Fei didn't mention the matter of travel again, he knew that if there was news, Meng Desheng would definitely tell him as soon as possible. Besides, it's not good for him to always ask, it's easy to annoy Meng Desheng, after all, the situation has been reflected in the province, and when the province will have a result, it is not up to Meng Desheng to decide.

Maybe it was because he drank wine, Meng Desheng had to let Xue Fei stay overnight, and Xue Fei couldn't say anything, so he stayed for one night, and only took the train back to the extreme north the next day.
