When Secretary Lu heard Shen Youbin say that he wanted to renovate Ye Ming's red brick house, he could live here when he came in the future, and he couldn't help but feel moved: he did have this idea. Although, he is the secretary of the provincial party committee, and he can't usually have too many opportunities to come to Wantou Town. However, when he went to Zhao Han's grave on the mountain today, he had a hazy idea: during the Spring Festival this year, he had to find a way to come to Wantou Town Middle School, live in Ye Ming's house, and spend a reunion with him. This is also the first time that their father and son have spent the New Year together, and they can also take the opportunity to pay tribute to Zhao Han at that time.

Moreover, he also thought about it: if it was possible, he would even call Lu Nianzi, the daughter of the capital, over and go to Xinleng for the New Year together, so that it would be a real "family reunion......

Therefore, after listening to Shen Youbin's words, he pondered for a moment and said: "Secretary Xiao Shen, I think your proposal is very feasible: this bungalow of Xiao Ye's family is surrounded by mountains and rivers, the scenery is beautiful, and it is in a high place, and you can see the whole picture of Donggang Village at a glance, which is indeed refreshing." However, the house cannot be repaired and renovated by the county party committee. I think: this bungalow is just a little dilapidated, the color is a little gray, you just need to brush the walls, patch the cracks, and simply decorate it inside, there is no need to spend a lot of money on luxury. Therefore, I suggest that Xiao Ye pay for the repair and renovation by himself, and there should be 20,000 or 30,000 yuan enough. Xiaoye, what do you think? ”

Ye Ming hurriedly said: "Secretary Lu is right. This is the house left by my mother, and I have always valued it, and I wanted to renovate it. Since the two leaders said it today, I immediately started to call someone to repair and renovate. ”

Chen Mengqi said with a smile next to him: "Brother Ye, don't worry about this matter. My dad has a construction and decoration team, and I'll call a professional decoration team for you tomorrow, and I'll get it for you in a few days. ”

Ye Ming nodded and said, "Qiqi, then I'll trouble you." However, I have said in advance, I still have to pay for the decoration team, and I can't let them work in vain. ”

Chen Mengqi knew that he was a bull temper, so he nodded and said, "It's good." ”

Shen Youbin heard Secretary Lu say that he didn't want the county to pay for the decoration, and he knew that he was afraid of causing criticism from others, so he couldn't say anything. However, he had already made up his mind in his heart: after the house was renovated, he must come up with a name to compensate Ye Ming with a sum of money, because this idea was put forward by himself and could not be paid for by him personally......

The group walked until more than nine o'clock, and after returning to Ye Ming's door, Secretary Lu said: "Everyone should find a place to rest, I am also tired and want to go to bed early." ”

Chi Dahua, Qing Tao, Xu Fei and others, Shen Youbin has asked people to prepare beds and bedding for their staff dormitories in the school. Zou Wenming originally wanted to go back, but when he saw Xu Fei coming, he temporarily changed his mind and decided to go to school with Xu Fei to sleep.

Xu Lizhong has always been by Secretary Lu's side and is also his personal guard, so Ye Ming let him sleep with him in the living room outside Secretary Lu's bedroom, while Chen Yi and Chen Mengqi slept in the room on the west side of the hall where Ye Ming used to sleep.

Qingtao was a little worried about Secretary Lu's safety, so he asked: "Secretary Lu, the few special police officers who came with you in the morning are still waiting for orders in the town, or else, I will call them over and stand guard for you?" ”

Secretary Lu shook his hand with a smile, then pointed at Ye Ming and Xu Lizhong, and said, "Comrade Qingtao, don't worry about my safety. The two of them slept outside my bedroom, enough to match the strength of a platoon. Besides, who would harm me in such a mountain rush? So, you don't have to be mediocre. ”

After Qingtao and the others left, Ye Ming walked to the room where Secretary Lu was going to sleep and spread out the quilt for him.

This was his mother's original bedroom, which contained only a plywood wardrobe, a bed, a desk, and a small bookcase. After his mother died, Ye Ming kept the room as it was, and every time he came back, he would clean it up.

When Ye Ming was in the bed, Secretary Lu walked in, staring fixedly at Zhao Han's posthumous photo covered with black veil on the desk, with a sad expression on his face.

As soon as Ye Ming turned around, he suddenly saw Secretary Lu staring intently at his mother's posthumous photo, the look on his face was solemn and poignant, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and quickly took the posthumous photo on the table in his hand, and said a little embarrassedly: "Secretary Lu, I'm really sorry, I don't do things very carefully, I should have taken this photo away earlier." ”

In his mind, Secretary Lu slept in this house, but he didn't take away his mother's posthumous photo, maybe Secretary Lu would feel unlucky, so he felt a little uneasy.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he took away his mother's posthumous photo, Secretary Lu shouted eagerly: "Xiao Ye, don't take the photo away, just put it there!" Swing on—"

Ye Ming looked at Secretary Lu a little inexplicably, and didn't know what he meant, so he had to put the photo on as he said.

Secretary Lu just revealed his true feelings in a hurry, for fear of arousing Ye Ming's suspicion, so he explained: "Xiao Ye, I know that you are afraid that there is a photo of your mother in the room, and I will feel unlucky, right?" You can rest assured, I am a party member, a thorough materialist, and will not believe in these superstitious things. This was your mother's bedroom, and your mother's photo must have been on this table for years. So, let's not move it lightly, it's a sign of respect for your deceased mother, you understand? ”

Secretary Lu said this, in fact, what he really thought in his heart was that he wanted to sleep here for one night with Zhao Han's posthumous photo and chat to relieve the sadness and guilt in his heart. That's why he started to come up with the idea of sleeping in this house.

When Ye Ming heard Secretary Lu say this, he believed it, and quickly put his mother's posthumous photo back on the desk respectfully, and then smiled and said goodnight to Secretary Lu, then walked out of the bedroom to the living room, and Xu Lizhong slept on a marching bed and a sofa, and soon fell asleep......

And Secretary Lu, after Ye Ming closed the door and went out, slowly sat down in front of the desk, staring at Zhao Han's last photo again, and the tears in his eyes flowed down in big drops......

At this time, in the house to the west, Chen Yi and Chen Mengqi were sleeping on Ye Ming's bed, and the two of them were lying side by side, whispering: "Sister Chen Yi, let me ask you a sensitive question, don't be surprised: You and your brother-in-law have been married for so long, why haven't you been pregnant?" Do you still not want to have children, so you use contraception? ”
