The Twin Demon River regained its tranquility, and after the crowd dispersed, Lin Dong and Gu Xiaoyu strolled around the riverside.

Neither of them seemed to have any intention of speaking first, and walked around the river for most of the time, but no one spoke.

April is still a transitional season in the countryside, which can be said to be between winter and spring. On the riverside, there are still weeds that have withered all over the winter, and among the dead grass, you can clearly see the specks scattered in the night sky, with green eyes and small white flowers.

"Hmmm......"

Gu Xiaoyu sighed softly, "It's so beautiful here. ”

Lin Dong smiled: "Yes, you have been in the city for a long time, and I miss my childhood very much now." When I used to read at home, I had a lot of fun every season. Let's take the current season as an example, spring has arrived, and the plants in the four fields have come back to life. At that time, a few of our friends carried schoolbags, and on the way to school and school, we didn't take the big road, but we liked to go to the small ditch and the river. Friends will be excited to find a peach sapling, and they will also blush-faced to compete for a 'sour slipper'...... When I think about that time, I was really happy, but after work, people seem to be numb, and there are few times when I feel happy. ”

Gu Xiaoyu looked at Lin Dong's side face, the noon sun shone on his face, Lin Dong squinted slightly, that appearance made her have a very deep feeling.

"It's not that you're numb, it's that our definition of happiness is different, and the higher the requirements, the less happiness is natural. Above all, the innocence of childhood is gone. ”

Regarding Lin Dong's words just now, Gu Xiaoyu was also deeply touched.

Lin Dong smiled slightly. "Xiaoyu, you're so right. My mentality has changed, and it looks like I'm getting old. ”

Gu Xiaoyu covered her mouth and smiled, "Lin Dong, I can't see that you are quite sentimental." ”

Lin Dong shook his head and smiled.

"You're the most promising of our classmates right now, you know? After the last class reunion, many female classmates now know that you are developed. They all came to me and asked me for your mobile phone number. They asked me to ask you, well, what about it? Is there a place to object? ”

Gu Xiaoyu is a high-spirited girl, in this small place in Huaicheng County, she is really a man who is not as eye-catching as her. And Lin Dong's performance at the last party. completely subverted her original view of Lin Dong in her heart. She originally thought that Lin Dong was just a hard-working boy with no other advantages. When she met her last time at the class party, Lin Dong's calm and introverted performance was suddenly imprinted in her mind.

In the past few months, she has frequently contacted Lin Dong in the name of the resort project, in fact, she is all troubled and wants to get to know Lin Dong urgently, and Lin Dong has always been uncertain about him, if he is about to leave, which makes her feel like she is pouring oil on the fire. It's itchy and unbearable, but I can't scratch it.

After the last young class reunion, there were indeed many unmarried female classmates who asked her about Lin Dong's condition, and Gu Xiaoyu also understood the thoughts of those classmates, so she disdained it. sighed again, how could she not have the same thoughts as them. So what she said just now, Gu Xiaoyu asked it for the female classmates who asked her about Lin Dong's situation, but she actually asked it for herself.

"I've got someone in Sioux City."

Lin Dong already knew Gu Xiaoyu's thoughts about him, and aside from everything else, Gu Xiaoyu was indeed a very good woman. Shrewd and capable, but not to Lin Dong's appetite. For this kind of woman, you can be friends with her, but she will definitely not develop into a girlfriend.

Gu Xiaoyu's heart suddenly cooled down, her expression froze on her face, and it took a while to come back to her senses.

"It's windy here, and I'm a little cold."

Knowing that Lin Dong had a girlfriend, Gu Xiaoyu suddenly lost the mind to go shopping with Lin Dong. …,

Lin Dong understood and said, "Then let's go back, it's not early, I think it's going to be dinner soon." ”

Gu Xiaoyu has changed from the identity of Lin Dong's old classmate, at this second she is the secretary of the county party secretary, and the expression on her face is very cold, which makes people see the chill at a glance. Since college, only boys have chased her like dogs, this spoiled woman, arrogant, was suddenly snubbed by Lin Dong, and she couldn't help but have a dark fire in her heart, and her anger could be seen from her face.

When he went back, Gu Xiaoyu seemed to be deliberately distancing himself from Lin Dong, and kept walking a meter or two in front of Lin Dong, without saying a word, and buried his head in the village.

Walking to the place where the building materials were stacked, Lin Dong saw that Lin's father was sitting on the edge of the old bridge smoking a dry cigarette.

Gu Xiaoyu knew that this spirited and taciturn old man was Lin Dong's father, a smile bloomed on his face, and he went over to greet Father Lin and chatted warmly.

"Dad, have you eaten yet?" Lin Dong came over and asked.

Father Lin said: "Not yet, your mother will bring it when she cooks the meal later." ”

"Why don't you go home and eat?" Gu Xiaoyu asked.

Father Lin pointed to the mountains of building materials and said with a smile: "Secretary Gu, no one can look at these things." After speaking, he said to Lin Dong: "Take Secretary Gu to Dahai's house, it's windy here." ”

"Uncle, Lin Dong and I are high school classmates, just call me Xiao Gu."

Father Lin smiled: "I heard Dongzi say that you helped him a lot, I thank you on behalf of Dongzi." ”

"Uncle, Lin Dong is now Secretary Yan's guest of honor, and he helped me. Uncle, I will definitely visit you if I have the chance, and I have to go back to Secretary Yan now. Gu Xiaoyu stretched out his hand and shook hands with Father Lin, looking quite like an official.

Lin Dong took her into the village, and several cars from the town and county were parked at the head of the village, and it was already noon, and most of the families in the village had already cooked. After they entered the village, many villagers walked outside with rice bowls, and many people still whispered, saying that the girl was a good match for Dongzi.

Some people say that he is the secretary of the county party secretary, and he may not look down on Lin Dong. The person who refuted said that the one who has money this year is the uncle, what is a secretary, look at the car where the county party secretary sits, and then look at what car Lin Dong drives. The Passat is not comparable to the Mercedes S600 at all.

Under the attention of everyone, if it was usual, Gu Xiaoyu would definitely greet the villagers warmly to show her pro-people style. And today she was angry in her stomach, so she didn't say a word all the way, and her face was expressionless until she walked to the door of Liu Dahai's house, and a smile appeared on her face again, but this smile seemed too contrived and too professional.

She slowed down and waited for Lin Dong to catch up, and then entered the courtyard gate with him.

"Lin Dong, the Twin Demon River must be beautiful when it is full of wildflowers, but it's a pity that I didn't come at the right time."

Gu Xiaoyu talked and laughed, and in the eyes of others, she definitely couldn't see that she was sulking all the way just now.

Liu Dahai saw the two of them enter the door, and hurriedly walked over on crutches.

"Secretary Gu, please come in, please come in."

Liu Dahai was full of smiles, and the wrinkles on his face were squeezed together.

Lin Dong glanced at the yard of Liu Dahai's house, it was cleaned up, everything was placed in an orderly manner, it was the first time he felt that the yard of Liu Dahai's house was so clean.

Liu Dahai only cared about greeting Gu Xiaoyu, but he forgot about Lin Dong, but he didn't know that he could have such a big face today, relying on no one else, it was Lin Dong! Lin Dong was not angry, he used to come to Liu Dahai's house often, a village, and Liu Dahai was Liu Zhi'er's father, so there was no need to be polite to him at all.

Sun Guifang and her two concubines were busy in the kitchen on the east side of the courtyard, and the tempting aroma of vegetables filled the entire courtyard. Lin Dong glanced into the kitchen, Liu Genzi, a little naughty man, was wandering around the kitchen, and when he saw a ready-made dish, he reached out and pinched it out, and quickly threw it into his mouth. …,

When they arrived at the hall, there was a table of eight immortals in the middle of the room, and Liu Hongkun, Ma Kaishan and Lao Wu, the driver who drove for Yan Qingnan, were all sitting at the table and playing cards with Yan Qingnan. These people's eyes were bright, and when they saw Lin Dong and Gu Xiaoyu walking in, Liu Hongkun and Ma Kaishan immediately jumped up as if they had pressed a spring under their buttocks.

"Secretary Gu, Boss Lin, come and play cards."

Liu Hongkun and Ma Kaishan said in unison.

Lin Dong waved his hand and smiled: "You're welcome, let's play, I'm not familiar with this kind of gameplay in my hometown." ”

The two looked at Gu Xiaoyu, Gu Xiaoyu was Yan Qingnan's personal secretary, and if she knotted her, she would be the same as Yan Qingnan.

Gu Xiaoyu said: "Secretary Liu, Mayor Ma, I don't know how to play, you continue." ”

Liu Hongkun and Ma Kaishan suddenly stood up, the cards were playing but were interrupted, the driver Lao Wu was a little unhappy, and muttered: "Isn't it just playing a card, pushing around has the meaning of birds." "Lao Wu is an old driver in the county, he drives steadily, and he has driven several county party committee secretaries, he is very bullish, except for Yan Qingnan, the entire county party committee and county government, he doesn't pay attention to anyone.

Yan Qingnan glanced up at Lao Wu and coughed to express his dissatisfaction with Lao Wu's words just now. This old Wu's political consciousness is too low, and he didn't understand what Yan Qingnan meant, but he kept talking endlessly. Liu Hongkun and Ma Kaishan both heard the taste and hurriedly made it.

"Come on, let's keep playing, old horse, it's time for you to play your cards."

The game continued, and Lao Wu stopped talking.

Liu Dahai called Lin Dong out of the door, he was on crutches, one leg couldn't land, but it didn't affect his speed much.

"Our family is too small, and the newspaper and TV station have gone to the town, so I prepared some of our local products here and gave them them, and asked Dahe to take them to the restaurant to eat. Dongzi, is it okay for your uncle to arrange like this? ”

Lin Dong didn't think there was anything to do, and nodded.

Liu Dajian snorted into the house, "You really don't want to send some?" ”

"Uncle Dahai, you can do it, my suggestion is not to deliberately buy gifts to give, if you give some local products, I have no opinion." Lin Dongdao.

Liu Dahai nodded, "Understood, then send some local products." When other leaders come to visit, they can't let people go back empty-handed. (To be continued)
