After easily solving the first problem, Li Zhiqiu was in a much better mood, and he had nothing to worry about the next step. Seeing that the time was not early, Li Zhiqiu walked around the city casually, saying that he had seen a lot of prosperity after a hundred years, and now the appearance of a small town with some chaos can be regarded as having a unique flavor.

Ten years after the county was withdrawn and the city was established, Anping City still did not change much, and the planning of the urban area was even a little chaotic, the main lanes and trails were messy, the tricycles and bicycles were interspersed at will, and the cars kept honking their horns, and the whole city was far away in the envious eyes of others, and the whole city had a somewhat distorted prosperity.

"It's almost gone."

Walking on the ancient streets with some history, Li Zhiqiu looked at these buildings that survived from the Republic of China era and sighed. He knows that after the relocation of the city government next year, the entire Anping City will usher in a new round of reconstruction, countless old houses have been demolished, and high-rise buildings have risen from the ground, so that the whole city has truly entered the rhythm of modernization.

After strolling around for half an afternoon with nothing to do, reminiscing about a bygone era, Li Zhiqiu walked back to his restaurant.

"Come, Lao Wang, let's have two drinks."

"Lao He, do it."

"Xiao Xu, this is our Section Chief Liu."

"Hello Chief Liu, I toast you."

"Boss Chen, it's been a long time, let's go one."

"Director Zhao is polite, it should be my respect for you."

……

Listening to the lively voices in the restaurant, and seeing that the several tables and chairs placed at the door of the restaurant were full of guests, Li Zhiqiu folded his arms and joined the ranks of the waiters.

As the sun fell, the night was shrouded in lights, and the last wave of diners were sent away, and Li Ye's family sat together and counted the accounts.

"Lao Li, I'm going to go to those units to settle the bill after eleven." Zhao Lei, who had settled the accounts, looked at the five-digit signing, and her eyes were inevitably a little anxious. Their restaurant is already operating on a small budget, and this month's signing accounts for almost a large part of their funds, even if Chen Youdao's relationship is there, it still makes her feel worried.

"Well, when they get to work, I'll go and tie it up." Although Li Ye was not worried about this signing, he didn't want his wife to hang all day long, not to mention that restaurants also needed liquidity.

"Son, where are you going to play on National Day?" After handling the accounts, Zhao Lei said to her son with a smile.

"If you want money, just say it, go out with your classmates and see what you know." Li Ye said very directly, and the way to express his father's love was also very simple, what he could do for his son was to provide the conditions within his ability.

"No, I want to rest at home." Li Zhiqiu was moved by his parents' proposal, but he politely refused. On the one hand, he wants to spend more time with his parents to make up for the debts of his previous life, and on the other hand, the opportunity to change the future is fleeting, and there is no room for mistakes.

"It's okay like this, it's so tiring to study at school, it's time to make up for it." Seeing her son say this, Zhao Lei didn't say anything anymore.

After eating the belated dinner and cleaning up the shop, Li Zhiqiu accompanied his parents to a rented house not far away. Their hometown is not far from the city, but it is troublesome to go back and forth, and the current means of transportation have not yet been popularized to cars, at most they are motorcycles driven like Li Ye, but it is still a little crowded with two people, and there are safety problems.

Although the income of the restaurant is not cheap now, Li Ye still built a house in his hometown first, so as to change a good place for his parents and the elderly. In addition, Li Ye and his wife are already preparing to expand the restaurant, so they are saving money and have not thought about buying a house in the city.

Li Zhiqiu's family rents a three-bedroom, one-living room and one-bathroom house in Jiangshui Community, which is only a few hundred meters away from Huashui Road, where the restaurant is located, and the rent is 1,500 a year, which is equivalent to two months' salary of a civil servant today.

"Mom and Dad, we can buy a house here after we make money." Walking into the community and looking at the brightly lit houses, Li Zhiqiu said with a smile.

"Okay, when we make money, we'll buy a house here." Listening to Li Zhiqiu's words, Zhao Lei echoed and said, her eyes were full of longing for the future.

"Listen to my son."

patting his son on the shoulder, Li Ye showed a relieved smile on his face. My son was successfully admitted to a high school, which is equivalent to stepping into the porch of the university, and the family's new house has been built.

Seeing his parents' confident appearance, Li Zhiqiu silently clenched his hands, he wanted to use these hands to change everything that was unfair, so that his parents would no longer be so tired.

Walking into his rented house, Li Zhiqiu looked at the familiar furnishings, as if he was in another world.

"Son, it's been a tiring day, you should take a shower and rest early." For her son, who is becoming sensible, Zhao Lei is not an ordinary love.

"Well, Mom and Dad should rest early, too."

Back in his room, Li Zhiqiu familiarized himself with the house where he had lived for two years, so he took out a change of clothes from the cabinet and put the things on his body, and then went to the bathroom to take a bath.

Zhou said that when he got up in the morning, Li Zhiqiu looked at the alarm clock at the bedside, but it was only six o'clock, and when he got dressed and came to the living room, he found that his parents had already gone out, and there were several plates on the dining table.

Looking at the note left on the dining table, Li Zhiqiu knew that his parents were going to feed food, and at this time, Anping City had begun to implement the rule that tractors were not allowed to enter the city, and Li Ye and his wife naturally had to take advantage of the traffic police not going to work to transport the food to the restaurant. The daily ingredients of the restaurant are collected from the farmers in the countryside on the same day, and the meat is also purchased directly from the farm, which is also an important reason why the restaurant can be recognized by those units.

After reading the note several times, Li Zhiqiu opened the plates, saw the small dishes that still had residual warmth, and picked up a bowl of millet porridge and ate it.

I have to plan well today, so Li Zhiqiu didn't go outside for activities, and the most important thing is that there is no suitable fitness place next to it.

Just as he was about to leave the room, Li Zhiqiu heard the phone ring at home, and he went back to pick it up: "Hello." ”

"Got it, did you come out to surf the Internet?"

Hearing Jiang Jun's unique voice, Li Zhiqiu's mood was inexplicably much better: "No, I still have something." By the way, didn't you say that you have a digital camera at home, can you lend me a few days? ”

"No problem, can you get it or will I send it for you?" After listening to Li Zhiqiu's request, Jiang Jun agreed without thinking about it.

"I'll go to you and get it, you can help me get it to the gate of the Jinyu Mantang Community."

"Cheng, come here."

When Li Zhiqiu, who was carrying a backpack, ran for about ten minutes to the gate of the most luxurious Jinyumantang community in Anping City, Jiang Jun was already waiting there with a black camera bag.

"If you really don't want to go online with me, let's play the bloody legend together." Without asking Li Zhiqiu about the purpose of borrowing the camera, Jiang Jun persuaded Li Zhiqiu again. Although he has a lot of friends, there are very few people who can really talk about it, and he is most close to the somewhat taciturn Li Zhiqiu.

"No, go yourself. I'll give you back this camera in two days. Fiddling with the Fuji brand digital camera in his hand, Li Zhiqiu said with a smile.

"It's okay, it's okay, no one uses this camera at home, if you want to use it, you don't have to rush to return it."

"Thank you."

"Our brother is polite."

"Yes, brother."

patting Jiang Jun on the shoulder, Li Zhiqiu smiled and said those two words.

After chatting with Jiang Jun for a while, Li Zhiqiu left and got on the bus to the Lijing community next to No. 2 Middle School.

"Five ......"

On the bulletin board at the entrance of Lijing Community, Li Zhiqiu looked at the rental information posted on it, and soon found two targets that met the standards, five buildings 302 and five buildings 401.

Noting down the phone number of the owner's house, Li Zhiqiu went to the phone booth next to him and made two calls with his newly bought IC card, discussed the time to look at the house, and walked into the Lijing community, where the doorman at the door of the community was like a decoration.

After talking to the two landlords, Li Zhiqiu chose the landlord of 302, and exchanged a deposit of 100 yuan for the three-day right to use the house key. Regarding Li Zhiqiu's request, the middle-aged landlord did not suspect that Li Zhiqiu's appearance was too confusing. Moreover, there was not much furniture in that room, and Li Zhiqiu was a local, so he was not afraid of anything.

"Fifteen days to go, soon, soon."

Looking at the door key in his hand, Li Zhiqiu calculated the time and muttered to himself.

"Mayor, Secretary Liang is here." Pushing open the door and looking at the young man who was sitting at the desk, Qin He helped the frame on his nose, calmed down and stepped forward to report softly.

"Ask him to come in." Putting down the pen in his hand, the young man raised his head and said to the capable secretary, his angular face showing a sense of determination.

"Yes." Not daring to look directly at this man who held the fate of hundreds of thousands of people in his hands, Qin He lowered his head and answered, then turned around and walked out the door.

"Secretary Liang, the mayor invites you in." Walking out of the door of the office, the humility on Qin He's face immediately disappeared, his head held high, and there was a kind of arrogance invisibly, even in the face of the elderly deputy secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection.

"I'm sorry to trouble Director Qin."

Shaking hands with Qin He, the middle-aged man waiting at the door said with a little compliment. Although Liang Xiang is at the level of the main department, and Qin He is just a deputy department, the identity aura of the other party's mayor's secretary is enough to make him make friends.

"You're welcome, the mayor is in a good mood today."

"Hmm."

After receiving Qin He's hint, Liang Xiang's mood calmed down a little, secretly clenched the document in his hand, and walked towards the door that might change his life.

"How?"

"Liang Xiang reported to Liu Decai for more than an hour, and it seems that he has mastered a lot of things."

"Since the young mayor is not interested, let him go."

"To what extent?"

"Now the other party's background has not been clarified, don't make too much trouble."

"Okay, I got it."
