Chapter 1001: Autumnwater Town
After Zhou Fan turned to leave, Chen Feifei couldn't hold back his tears anymore, but while Chen Feifei was sad, he didn't know how entangled Zhou Fan's mood was at the moment.
When she saw Xu You, the little girl was obviously not as calm as before, in front of Zhou Fan, the little girl inevitably showed a trace of so-called shyness, after all, she was told by her family that Zhou Fan might become the person who lived with her for the rest of her life, how could Xu You be indifferent.
Originally, I didn't want to talk to Xu You about this matter, but since both families have this meaning, before Zhou Fan leaves the capital, they should also talk to others, which can be regarded as the most basic courtesy.
During the time when Zhou Fan went to the northwest, I heard Zhou Huan mention that Xu You came to the house to find Zhou Fan, but in the following period, Xu You never showed up, thinking that the little girl had just heard the news and might want to come to question Zhou Fan, but when Zhou Fan really appeared, the little girl was embarrassed.
"Are you alright?" Glancing at Xu You, Zhou Fan asked lightly, although he didn't want to say it, but in Zhou Fan's eyes, Xu You was obviously really a little girl, not to mention her youthful appearance, and her mind was also not mature.
"Hmm." Xu You lowered his head and responded, and was silent for a while before Xu You asked, "You know about that matter, right?" β
The thing? Zhou Fan was slightly stunned, but soon came back to his senses, and Xu Yu naturally asked about the marriage.
"I've heard my family mention it, do you have anything to say to me?" Zhou Fan asked softly, although he knew that the marriage was irretrievable, but Zhou Fan still wanted to hear some of Xu You's views on himself, after all, it was very likely that Xu You would be the one who would accompany Zhou Fan for the rest of his life, and Zhou Fan naturally wanted to know clearly what Xu You, the little girl, thought in his heart.
Although the views of Zhou Fan and Xu You do not have a great impact on this political marriage, if both parties have no good impression of each other, then there may not be no room for redemption, as for both parties being able to accept each other, it is naturally a happy ending, but at least Zhou Fan is indeed another person in his heart at the moment.
Xu You nodded lightly and said, "You know that I have always treated you as a brother, I ......." β
Xu You's words were halfway through, but Zhou Fan was able to understand the meaning of Xu You's words, the little girl obviously resisted this matter from her heart, this was to convey a meaning to Zhou Fan, that her feelings for Zhou Fan were only brother and sister, not the so-called love between men and women.
"Well, I've always seen you as Huanhuan's peer, and when I first heard the news, I was also taken aback, I didn't expect such a result." Zhou Fan said softly, Zhou Huan is Zhou Fan's sister, and this is naturally to tell Xu You that he has always regarded the other party as a sister.
"Since we don't have feelings for each other, do you think such a union will be happy?" Xu You asked loudly, I didn't expect this little girl to have her own affection for emotional things, although she didn't want to say it, but who didn't want to find someone she liked to live a lifetime, this kind of marriage combined by political interests, how much happiness is there.
"Born in such a family, in fact, it has long been destined to be such an ending at all, even if we can't go together today, but in the matter of marriage, we also have no freedom at all, even if you don't marry me today, tomorrow you can't marry someone you don't like, because of a family like ours, how can we agree to you marry an ordinary person? It's up to you to choose who you like? Zhou Fan sighed and said, his expression full of helplessness.
Not to mention that Zhou Fan can't say anything in the family now, even if there is really a day when Zhou Fan is in charge, for the sake of the family's interests, Zhou Fan can't let the surname be his own decision, after all, Zhou Fan's marriage is not Zhou Fan's business alone, it will involve the interests of the family and even the faction, it can be said that Zhou Fan's marriage will be closely related to the future of the family, just by virtue of this, Zhou Fan can't let the surname Hu Lai.
"Then you really accept such an arrangement and marry a woman you don't like?" There was a hint of questioning in these words, after all, in Xu You's opinion, Zhou Fan's answer was obviously very irresponsible, especially in the matter of feelings, Zhou Fan did not show the responsibility that a man should have at all.
"What if you don't accept it, since you are destined not to marry a woman you like, then at least we can choose someone who we don't hate, at least I don't hate you? You don't hate me either? Isn't it? Zhou Fan said softly.
The little girl was silent for a while, as if she was thinking about the meaning of Zhou Fan's words, and after a while, the little girl sighed softly and said, "Just don't you hate it?" Is that what we want for the other half of the future? β
Zhou Fan knew that Xu You felt uncomfortable, after all, the little girl was still young, and she was in the time of longing and yearning for love, girls at this time always had such and such naΓ―ve thoughts in their hearts, and they had a desire for love that ordinary people did not have.
"I will leave the capital for a while, and our affairs can also wait for a little longer, take advantage of this opportunity, you should think about what I said, this is to give you time, and it is also to give me time to face reality." Zhou Fan said lightly.
"Leaving the capital? Where to go? Xu You asked.
Although Zhou Fan has answered this question in one day today, I don't know how many times, every time he tells others that he is going to leave the capital for some time, someone will ask Zhou Fan where he is, and Zhou Fan will take the trouble to tell the other party, just like now.
Zhou Fan simply said some things, and left Xu You to stay here quietly, I believe that Zhou Fan's words today should make this little girl feel a lot, Xu You should also take this opportunity to reconsider some views on this matter.
The original provincial capital of Northeast Province was Tianjing City, and later Tianjing City was divided out as a municipality directly under the central government, the capital of Northeast Province was changed to Fuyuan City, in the early nineties, Northeast Province moved the provincial capital to Liuzhuang, which is also the prototype of Liuzhuang City, the capital of Northeast Province, of course, at this time the capital of Northeast Province has just moved over, Liuzhuang is obviously just an inconspicuous small place, and there is no metropolis.
In Qiushui Town, which is subordinate to Putian County, Yuyang City, when Zhou Fan first arrived at this place, he was full of lupus, and all he saw was a low-tiled house, and there were few decent houses in the whole town, let alone decent shops, the only one that could be regarded as a small shop, that is, the grocery store at the entrance of the town.
The temporary post of the ministry is only a general arrangement, and the specific job arrangement in Putian County is implemented with the help of the Organization Department of the Putian County Party Committee, because when Zhou Fan's file was assigned to the Putian County Party Committee, according to Zhou Fan's requirements, the Putian County Party Committee specially arranged Zhou Fan to the township organs, and did not arrange Zhou Fan in the ravine, but in Qiushui Town, in fact, it is already a kind of care for Zhou Fan, after all, although Qiushui Town is inconspicuous, it is also one of the few towns in the entire Putian County.
After the report of the Organization Department of the county party committee, the organization department of the county party committee arranged for cadres to send Zhou Fan to Qiushui Town to take office, although it was only a temporary post, but the arrangement of some positions would still follow the normal procedures, and the arrangements that should be made were naturally not easy to fall into sloppiness, and even compared with local cadres, the cadres on temporary duty still have a little advantage, that is, no matter what the final result is, as soon as the time for suspension comes, the cadres on temporary duty will pat their butts and leave directly.
Of course, it is also because of this that as long as the cadres on temporary duty are not too excessive, ordinary people are not easy to grudge with others, and naturally after the expiration of the temporary post, the general comments will not be too bad.
For this so-called comment, Zhou Fan really didn't think about it so much, this time he came down to take up a post, Zhou Fan mainly wanted to accumulate some experience, and of course he inevitably prepared for himself to go further, but in general, Zhou Fan still wanted to adapt to the local management method in advance, so as not to really go outside in the future, but he would be confused.
Qiushui Town Political Axe Compound is at the entrance of the town in the direction of the big shame tree turn left two hundred meters, listen to the people in the town said, these two big shame trees were planted during the Qianlong period, it has been hundreds of years now, so many years have passed, these two big shame trees have also become the symbol of Qiushui Town, every time someone enters the town, the first thing to see is these two big shame trees.
Sending Zhou Fan down was a deputy director of the Organization Department of the county party committee, surnamed Lu, in his early fifties, slightly fat, not tall, a little bald on his head, looking a little weak, panting when he walked a few steps, and he also looked a little out of breath when he spoke.
Although it was the first time to deal with this Minister Lu, Zhou Fan could also see that Minister Lu should be ranked relatively low among several deputy ministers of the Organization Department of the County Party Committee, otherwise he would not have been arranged to send Zhou Fan to take office, after all, in the eyes of the leaders of the Putian County Party Committee, Zhou Fan, a temporary cadre of the Development and Reform Commission, was arranged in this corner of the poor countryside, either offended people in the ministry or was excluded, and was placed in his current position.
The position assigned to Zhou Fan by the Putian County Party Committee is the deputy secretary of the Party Committee of Qiushui Town, and he is mainly responsible for political and legal work during the temporary post, and he is also the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee of Qiushui Town.
