At ten o'clock on Sunday night, Lu Zheng, Bai Erqiang, and Bai Xiaoshuang returned to Qinglong Guozhuang, Bai Erqiang was not lost, but he was beaten violently, his head was broken, and after being bandaged in the hospital, he came back with a circle of white gauze wrapped around his head, and the young man who beat him was not found, Bai Erqiang chattered vigorously on the way back, no longer go to the big city, no longer go to the big city, which made Lu Zheng want to laugh all the time, but in front of Bai Xiaoshuang, he had to give his ex-father-in-law some face, so he could only hold it all the way.

When he got home, Bai Xiaoshuang hurriedly cooked porridge, and Bai Erqiang lay on the kang in the east house and hummed vigorously, as if he was going to die.

Lu Zheng went back to the West House, since he moved in, he has added a lot of things, sofas, coffee tables, TVs, all of which are necessary.

However, Qinglong does not have a TV station, coupled with the shielding of the mountains, the signal is very bad, so it can only receive the programs of Guangning TV and the central station broadcast by Guangning TV, and there are quite a lot of snowflakes.

Today, it may be a problem with the direction of the wind, and there is a snowflake on the TV, and it is impossible to watch it at all.

Lu Zheng had no choice but to take the videotape he had just exchanged from Wushantao, flipped through it for a while, and saw that there was a TV series "Eight Immortals Across the Sea" from Hong Kong, so he put the first disc into the VCR, and now he went to Wushan once, so he rented a bunch of videotapes back, so as not to have no TV to watch in Qinglong.

"The fairy mountain is separated by the sea of clouds, and the jade belt of Xialing is connected, and it is said that there are heavenly immortals outside the world,......"

The Cantonese opening song sounded melodiously, with a familiar female voice and a familiar melody, slightly ethereal......

In his previous life, Lu Zheng also watched this TV series, and when he watched it again at this time, he felt a strange feeling in his heart, and an inexplicable loneliness arose.

People who are born again are lonely, right?

Lu Zheng thought to himself.

"Brother Zhengzi, the porridge is cooked, and I also cooked two salted duck eggs for you." Bai Xiaoshuang knocked on the door and lifted the curtain, at home, she was bolder, not as restrained as in Wushan.

Lu Zheng smiled: "Let's eat in the house, call your father to come over too." ”

"Okay." Bai Xiaoshuang obediently agreed and lowered the door curtain.

Then, I heard Bai Xiaoshuang call her father, the pots and pans sounded, and after a while, Bai Xiaoshuang lifted the curtain and poked into his little head again, saying, "My dad said he sleeps and doesn't eat." ”

"Then let's eat, come on, eat together, watch mythological films, it's very good." Lu Zheng pointed to the TV.

Bai Xiaoshuang agreed, and after a while, she brought in rice porridge, pickles, and salted duck eggs, and put them on the coffee table.

It took a while for Lu Zheng to realize this problem and asked, "You don't eat salted duck eggs?" At this time, he sat face-to-face with Bai Xiaoshuang and drank porridge, looking at the picturesque and beautiful face of this little girl who was once his ex-wife, in his heart, it was really a different feeling, and there was also a faint warmth.

"You cooked the salted duck eggs, huh? Brother Zhengzi, are my pickled duck eggs delicious? Bai Xiaoshuang looked at Lu Zheng with some expectation.

Lu Zheng smiled and nodded: "Of course it's delicious, you actually cook, it's always delicious, that is, I've never praised you before." Saying this, Lu Zheng felt a little bitter in his heart.

Bai Xiaoshuang's slightly immature little face lit up a little, and said, "I'm afraid you don't like to eat." ”

Lu Zheng smiled: "How come? As he spoke, he sent another salted duck egg to Bai Xiaoshuang and said, "You can eat one too, and I will have one enough." ”

"Then I'll keep it for you, and I'll eat it tomorrow." Bai Xiaoshuang put the duck eggs back on the plate and said, "The duck eggs were bought for you." ”

Lu Zheng picked up the duck egg, smashed the empty head, and handed it to Bai Xiaoshuang: "If you are told to eat it, I won't believe it, you will eat pickles." ”

Bai Xiaoshuang took it silently, and under Lu Zheng's encouraging gaze, she finally gently pinched a small piece with chopsticks, but did not put it in her mouth, lowered her head, and suddenly said, "Brother Zhengzi, do you know my mother?" ”

Lu Zheng was stunned, "Why do you think so?" ”

Bai Xiaoshuang drooped her little head and said, "I guess, you paid my dad just to let me go to school and buy me clothes, so good to me." So, I guess, you're my mom's friend. I heard that my mother's new man has made a fortune outside, you are in business, so rich, don't you, you also know my mother, and my mother asks you to take care of me? ”

Lu Zheng was stunned, he really couldn't imagine that Bai Xiaoshuang's little head would have such a strange idea, but thinking about it, the children of the poor were early, not to mention that Bai Xiaoshuang would be 15 soon, she should be a very sensible age, she took care of her in every way, she could naturally see and feel it, and she naturally thought, this is weishenme.

Children like to fantasize, especially, the mother ran away with someone, in her careful thoughts, the mother still thinks that she loves her very much, she should have been waiting for her mother to come back suddenly, and the family of three continues to live the happy life before. And she is the messenger entrusted by her mother, and she was invited by her mother to save her from the sea of suffering, which is not only the fantasy in her little head, but also her expectation, right?

That's what she hoped would be.

"I don't know your mother." Although he saw Bai Xiaoshuang's little face obviously darkened, Lu Zheng also continued ruthlessly: "Your mother may come back to see you in the future, but I definitely don't know your mother." ”

pondering, Lu Zheng said slowly: "However, you are very similar to a friend of mine, especially haode friend, she is a very good doctor, and she is also a very beautiful girl, assertive and charming, you, you are very similar to her......" As he spoke, his heart was slightly sour.

"And where is this sister now?" Bai Xiaoshuang asked with a little curiosity.

"It's gone." Lu Zheng smiled and said, "So, sometimes, I have the illusion that you are her, and she is you." ”

"How am I worthy?" Bai Xiaoshuang lowered her little head, a little deflated, she only felt that the pressure was quite high, how could Brother Zhengzi think that he was very similar to a beautiful doctor sister?

"Okay, eat a few more salted duck eggs, and you'll be prettier than her." Lu Zheng smiled, lowered his head, and drank porridge slowly.

……

On New Year's Day in 1986, the news that one of the five giants of the central government was spending the New Year with the garrison in the Paracel Islands made headlines.

Seeing this news, Lu Zheng thought of Huzi and his comrades-in-arms who were born and died, war is always a trauma for people, but time can heal everything, perhaps, it's time to get together with comrades-in-arms.

After New Year's Day, Ma Weiguo and others finally came back to Qinglong, and at the same time, brought an exciting news, the provincial party committee and the municipal party committee agreed to evaluate the Qinglong golf course construction project, and in a few days, the province will have an evaluation team.

On the afternoon of Ma Weiguo's return to Qinglong, he paced to Lu Zheng's office.

At that time, Lu Zheng was discussing with the deputy county magistrate Wang Nibang, and when he saw Ma Weiguo coming in, Wang Nibang found an excuse and left the county magistrate's office.

Sitting on the sofa, Ma Weiguo took the water handed by Lu Zheng and said with a smile: "I heard that you haven't put aside the matter of building roads during this time?" The plan is out? Also invited experts from Beijing to measure the plan? That's very good, I'll just say, if we are one heart, there will be no difficulties that can't be overcome, and Qinglong will develop better and better! ”

Lu Zheng smiled and said: "I think, no matter whether Zhu Mingze invests or not, the road always has to be repaired, I think, construction can start after the year, if Zhu Mingze's funds can't be in place, I will first get some loans from the bank, if it really can't work, I will borrow some money from Changming." ”

Hearing Lu Zheng's words, the smile on the corner of Ma Weiguo's mouth gradually faded.

After drinking a few sips of water, Ma Weiguo asked, "What about the Panshi?" What's going on with him? Without waiting for Lu Zheng to answer, he said: "Anyway, I still understand Panshi, a very capable cadre, now is a critical period for the development of our Qinglong, we need to unite and move forward hand in hand, capable cadres, we still have to save the main, we must focus on the overall situation, Lu Zheng, do you say what I said is right?" ”

Ma Weiguo spoke, his eyes blazing, staring at Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng nodded slightly and said, "I agree with Secretary Weiguo's opinion. ”

Ma Weiguo smiled happily and said: "That's it, that Zhao Pingfan in Matouying, let's discuss it with the Standing Committee tomorrow, and I can rest assured that the cadres you recommend will be officially appointed." ”

Now Zhao Pingfan is only presiding over the daily work of the Matouying Township Party Committee, and there has been no clear statement on his position.

Ma Weiguo took the initiative to straighten out Zhao Pingfan, because Lu Zheng made concessions in the matter of Panshi.

Despite this, Ma Weiguo was also quite generous, and Lu Zheng could feel that Ma Weiguo was deliberately easing the relationship between the two. Obviously, in his heart now, the smooth progress of the golf course project is above all else, and the stability of the Qinglong team is also above everything else. Ma Weiguo does not want the golf course project to have an accident or even miscarriage because of the infighting in the team, and the emergency call of Duan Zhongyuan, the secretary of the municipal party committee, is a lesson from the past.

However, the secretary of the party committee of Matouying Township is now really a hot potato, and after the merger, at least six brigades of the original Matouying Commune and Qingtuo Commune require that they continue to follow the collective agriculture model. As the secretary of this township, if you do a good job or not, there may be leaks, because this is not only a matter of the ability to govern, but in the future, if you are involved in the ideological confrontation within the party, then a small township party secretary is afraid that it will definitely end up in pieces.

Maybe if you think about it, only Zhao Pingfan, who has always had close contact with these brigades and is not afraid of the consequences, can do a good job as the party secretary.

Ma Weiguo repeatedly emphasized that Zhao Pingfan was a cadre recommended by Lu Zheng, and the intention was also this, if Zhao Pingfan had a problem in the future, you Lu Zheng would naturally be the first person responsible.
