At about eight o'clock in the evening, many areas of the county were already dark.

On the way home, Lu Zheng glanced at the white little frost's patched floral clothes, "In the future, wear new clothes to school, it's okay." Although Wei Xiangxiu bought Xiaoshuang a lot of clothes, she only changed them occasionally at home, and when she went to school, she still wore patched jackets and pants as before.

Lu Zheng also knows that now in rural primary and junior high schools, if children dress too "foreign", they will be rejected and made fun of by their peers.

Xiaoshuang was obviously worried about being excluded by her classmates, so she didn't dare to wear the beautiful clothes that Wei Xiangxiu bought for her when she was in school.

"Hmm." Xiaoshuang nodded obediently.

"How? I didn't go home, and I dealt with it again at night, right? Do you want to have a late-night snack? Lu Zheng asked with a smile.

Bai Xiaoshuang said: "I'm not hungry. ”

Lu Zheng thought for a while and said, "Xiaoshuang, you will treat me like a brother in the future, and tell me what grievances you have suffered, okay?" ”

On the way home just now, I heard Ai Fang say that Xiaoshuang's cousin had just come to scold Xiaoshuang, as if she had lost an earring, so she said that Xiaoshuang took it.

Uncle Xiaoshuang's family opened a sales outlet, and he was one of the richest households in the township, and Bai Erqiang didn't mention his anger, Xiaoshuang has been bullied in his uncle's house, and now Xiaoshuang squeezed to sleep in a room with his cousin, although the premise is that Bai Erqiang paid off the accounts that were recorded in the commissary before, but her cousin didn't care about this, and naturally didn't like someone to squeeze a room with herself.

When the car entered Guozhuang, Lu Zheng did not turn off the dirt road in the south, but drove along the asphalt road until he reached the commissary of Uncle Xiaoshuang's house.

Uncle Xiaoshuang's house, the original courtyard gate was demolished, and a room was built as a store, through the store, it was the courtyard and the main house of Uncle Xiaoshuang's house, and the courtyard on the south side of the main house was the "backyard" that Bai Erqiang said, the two families were actually connected, but Uncle Xiaoshuang had been locking the south yard, and sometimes Bai Erqiang took something from the commissary and licked his face and begged, and Uncle Xiaoshuang would open the south courtyard for him to pass.

Lu Zheng didn't walk this road either, otherwise it stands to reason that every time he came back from work, he parked the car in front of the commissary, and he wore the commissary and Uncle Xiaoshuang's yard to go home, which was more convenient and fast, and the car was also an asphalt road.

Lu Zheng parked and entered the commissary, and the sweet smell of all kinds of snacks and candies came to his face.

Under the bright light bulbs, glass counters and shelves, there are all kinds of daily necessities, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, canned liquor, and the small store is small, but it is full of organs.

There were two women sitting behind the counter, chattering, and one of them, a fat middle-aged woman, saw someone entering the room, so she smiled and said, "Look at it, there's everything." Immediately, seeing Bai Xiaoshuang following behind Lu Zheng, the fat woman sighed in surprise, "Girl, why are you here?" ”

Bai Xiaoshuang timidly greeted the two women: "Auntie, fifth aunt." ”

It seems that the chubby woman is Bai Xiaoshuang's aunt, Lu Zheng has never been in contact with Bai Erqiang's eldest brother and family before.

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, Xiaoshuang came with me." ”

Sister-in-law Bai immediately stood up with a smile on her face and greeted warmly: "Ah, you are Zhengzi, I have heard of you a long time ago." Although Bai Erqiang likes to brag and say that this tenant named Zhengzi gives him more than 50 yuan a month, no one will believe it.

But this Zhengzi, who has a car and spends a lot of money, can also force Bai Erqiang to ask Xiaoshuang to go to school, it seems that he should be a capable person in business, recently Bai Erqiang not only did not pay off the credit, but also paid off the previous debts, all of which were given by this young man named Zhengzi.

Therefore, Sister-in-law Bai has a good impression of this young man who had only heard of his name before.

"What, Xiaoshuang, what do you want to eat?" Lu Zheng pointed to the various snacks on the counter, and there were also fruit boxes.

Immediately, Lu Zheng also knew that Xiaoshuang would not be picky, so he pointed to the fruit box and said, "This, this, there are cakes in it, right, I want these two." He pointed to the bulk snacks again, and there was a kind of peanut and bean paste with a big red seal on it and a green silk peanut and bean paste inside, and said, "This is half a catty." ”

"Okay" Sister-in-law Bai smiled, weighed the dim sum, stacked it, folded the diagonal straw paper, pulled down the straw rope from the mound hanging on the roof, tied a tic-tac-toe neatly, pulled a flower button, put it aside, and asked, "Do you want anything else?" ”

Lu Zheng said: "Let's talk about it after eating, and, soda, two bottles, the bottle has to be deposited, right, how much?" ”

"Okay, you don't have to bet, just go back and drink and send the bottle." Sister-in-law Bai smiled, went to get two more bottles of green bottle soda, and put them on the counter, it seems that she is quite good at business.

"It's all for the girl? You're good to her. Sister-in-law Bai smiled, in Guozhuang, I have never seen such a generous person, it seems that one dollar or two yuan, people don't care at all.

Lu Zheng said: "Yes, who told me to fall in love with Xiaoshuang, she is just like my own sister." Besides, such a sensible child, who doesn't like it, my girlfriend baby hers very much. ”

Sister-in-law Bai laughed dryly, "That's, that's." ”

Lu Zheng said again: "Who will bully her again in the future, don't blame me for being rude, I am going to take her back to my hometown in a few days and kiss me." ”

Sister-in-law Bai smiled awkwardly and didn't squeak.

Lu Zheng sighed again and said, "I'm here and I've taken up Xiaoshuang's room, I'm sorry for her, but fortunately, sister-in-law, you are good to this little niece." ”

Sister-in-law Bai said vaguely: "We are relatives, we should be, we should be." ”

Lu Zheng thought for a while and said: "The weather will be warm in a few days, Xiaoshuang's house still has a wing, Bai Lao Er is going to pack it out for Xiaoshuang to live in, otherwise I will always ask her and her sister to squeeze into a room, I really don't want to go, I don't like to cause trouble to others." ”

At this time, Lu Zheng pointed to some trinkets on the glass counter and said, "These rings and earrings are all plastic, right?" Fooling the little ones? ”

Sister-in-law Bai sneered and said, "Yes, let's go to the countryside like this." ”

Lu Zheng beckoned to Bai Xiaoshuang: "Come, let's see, if the earrings you lost Sister Su'e are here, what kind of earrings are there, buy them and compensate her." ”

Sister-in-law Bai was stunned, she knew about the night, because her daughter was still running to the commissary to mumble and want to get another earring, but she was slapped by her.

Bai Su'e is only a few months older than Bai Xiaoshuang, but her temperament is very different, greedy for vanity, lazy to eat, and Bai Sister-in-law often sighs in her heart, why is her daughter so bad, she can't keep up with Xiaoshuang by half a horn.

But after all, it is her own daughter, Sister-in-law Bai is naturally eccentric, and, speaking of which, her daughter is also used to living a hard life, although the family has a little money, but his father is tight, a penny can break eight petals, grow so big, and her daughter has not eaten stew a few times seriously, yesterday her daughter cried greedily, saying that Bai Xiaoshuang's family eats pork ribs, and she also wants to eat.

Originally, Sister-in-law Bai took pity on her daughter, but when she saw that this girl was crying greedily, she immediately got angry, slapped the two of them hard, and locked her in the room.

Sister-in-law Bai also probably knows that her daughter Weishenme likes to bully Bai Xiaoshuang recently, when Bai Xiaoshuang's life was very hard in the past, Bai Su'e was very happy with this sister, and secretly took fruit for her to eat from home.

"No, it's all kids." Sister-in-law Bai said with a smile.

Bai Xiaoshuang walked to the counter, her beautiful long eyelashes blinked, pointed to a pair of emerald green plastic bead earrings inside, and said, "Ah, that's it, brother, I'll buy it, I have money." "After the end of this year, Bai Erqiang was finally kind and gave Xiaoshuang two cents as pocket money, and Xiaoshuang has been saving it

Lu Zheng smiled: "Aren't you just two cents?" Forget it, I'll see if you can stay until next year's New Year, this small day is really good, it's too frugal, whoever marries you in the future will be guaranteed to be rich. ”

Bai Xiaoshuang didn't know whether Brother Zheng Zi was making fun of himself or praising himself, his face was red, and he didn't dare to say anything.

"Forget it, the purchase price is only five cents, what to lose, let's talk about it, that girl is careless, it is estimated that she dropped it herself, she didn't sew maggots, I will hit her when I turn around" Sister-in-law Bai was busy shaking her hand again and again.

Lu Zheng smiled: "It's not about money, children are rare here." He took out a dollar and said, "It's a dime a pair, right?" In this way, sister-in-law, you choose a few pairs for Xiaoshuang and a few pairs for Sister Su'e, in the future, don't quarrel because of this, there are more and more only children, and uncles and sisters can kiss each other in the future. ”

Sister-in-law Bai smiled and said yes, and said that she had to educate Su'e well when she turned around, but don't bully Xiaoshuang.

"What, I'm going to open the back door?" Seeing that Lu Zheng was leaving, Sister-in-law Bai hurriedly said.

"No, no one can be a road, this seems to be exquisite, when the road is gone, it's not good." Lu Zheng smiled and waved his hand.

Sister-in-law Bai nodded in her heart, and said in her heart that this young man is really rare, he seems to have an identity, but he can talk and do things, he can understand you but he will never be disgusted, and the whole Guo Zhuang can't find a second such an excellent offspring.

Immediately, Sister-in-law Bai shook her head, what did she think, people must have come from a big city, where to compare the descendants of Guozhuang, a small place?

The rainy weather seems to be gloomy.

In the office, Ma Weiguo looked at Qu Shiyue with a surprised expression, "What? You are going to resign from your position in the party? Early in the morning, Qu Zhiyue came to his office, and then gave him such a jaw-dropping news.

The wrinkles on Qu Zhiyue's face seemed to be deeper, and he sighed and said, "I'm also old, it's time to make way for young people." ”

"This, if it's because of that case, isn't it inconclusive? Besides, it has nothing to do with you. Ma Weiguo was very puzzled to distort the sudden decision of Xia Yue.

"It's not because of this, I'm old and want to rest." Qu Zhiyue let out a long sigh, very excited.

Ma Weiguo suddenly remembered that he heard that at the door of the office building a few days ago, Lu Zheng had a conflict with Qu Lao, and frowned: "Is it because of Lu Zheng?" Did he do it? ”

Qu Zhiyue was silent for a long time and shook his head: "It has nothing to do with him." ”

Ma Weiguo's brows became tighter and tighter, and he asked: "I heard that recently, Wang Guest asked someone to inquire about some things in front of the guest house, Qu Lao, it won't have anything to do with you, right?" ”

Qu Zhiyue finally stared, and then, it turned into a cloud, silent, and silent.

"Qu Lao, in this way, you can think about it again, no matter what happens, we can discuss it." Ma Weiguo is still trying to keep him.

Qu Zhiyue sighed, "Weiguo, I'm thinking about three days and three nights, this is the best ending for me, the resignation report to the municipal party committee, I have just typed." ”

Ma Weiguo was silent, it seems that the matter is irreparable. In my heart, I was suddenly irritable like never before. In Qinglong, Qu Zhiyue is his most determined and powerful ally in political and celiary governance, and when Lu Zheng just took office, in the eyes of all Qinglong cadres, I am afraid that the weight of this new county magistrate is far less than that of Chairman Qu.

But in the past few months, more and more cadres have gathered around Lu Zheng, as if there is already a faint Liliang who is turning over the river and the sea in Qinglong.
