It was nearly eleven o'clock when I arrived at the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau. Lin Dong and Wang Guoshan stood outside, and Liu Zhi'er and Wang Dong came in.

Just after the New Year, there were very few people who got married and divorced, and soon after entering, the two came out. Lin Dong saw that the red book in Liu Zhi'er's hand was replaced by a green book, and the big stone hanging in his heart was really on the ground at this point.

"Zhi'er, I'm going to do something with Mayor Wang, you wait here for me for a while." Lin Dong said with a smile, Wang Guoshan couldn't wait for a long time.

Liu Zhi'er nodded, "Go ahead, I'll wait for you here." ”

After Lin Dong and Wang Guoshan left, Wang Donglai said: "Zhi'er, we are finally husband and wife, and now that we are divorced, don't you have anything to say to me?" ”

Liu Zhi'er said: "Come to the east, don't gamble and be greedy in the future, learn a craft." ”

Wang Donglai sighed and said with a smile: "You still care about me after all, don't worry, I've thought a lot in the past two days." I know that when you married me at the beginning, you wanted to live a good life with me, but I didn't cherish it, and I always beat you and scolded you. Zhi'er, I want to ask you a question, if I am very good to you after marrying me, will you leave me? ”

Liu Zhi'er was silent for a long time, and a layer of snow fell on his black hair, making him look a little vicissitudes.

"Time can't go back, and there is no if in the past."

Wang Donglai laughed, "Yes, time is gone, the past can only be recalled, not repeated!" Zhi'er, I hope you have a good life in the future. ”

There is a postal savings office not far from the Civil Affairs Bureau, and Lin Dong and Wang Guoshan got things done soon after they entered. According to the prior agreement, as long as Wang Guoshan persuaded Wang Donglai to divorce Liu Zhi'er, Lin Dong would give 300,000 yuan to the Wang family's father and son. Now that Liu Zhier has divorced Wang Donglai, Lin Dong has fulfilled his promise.

Wang Guoshan got the money, he had never seen so much money in his life, and he calculated an account in his heart, he married Liu Zhi'er home as a daughter-in-law, and spent less than 20,000 yuan in total before and after, but now he got 300,000 yuan. This is definitely a cost-effective business, and I thought that with this money, it would be enough for Wang Donglai to marry a few more daughters-in-law.

The two returned to the place where the Civil Affairs Bureau parked, Wang Donglai walked towards Lin Dong, and when he passed by, he turned his head and whispered a word to Lin Dong.

Wang Donglai walked up to Wang Guoshan, "Dad, let's take a ride back by ourselves." ”

Wang Guoshan nodded, "Okay, it's not early, Dad will take you to the restaurant for a meal, and we'll go home when it's over." ”

"No, I don't want to eat outside, let's go home and eat."

The father and son helped each other and walked away.

Liu Zhi'er walked up to Lin Dong and asked, "Brother Dongzi, I just saw Wang Donglai whispering a word to you, what did he say?" ”

Lin Dong looked at the backs of the Wang family's father and son gradually disappearing in the wind and snow, and said, "He said let me take good care of you." ”

Liu Zhi'er was silent, and made a wish in her heart, hoping that Wang Dong would be better in the future.

Lin Dong opened the car door and said with a smile: "Zhi'er, get in the car, today is a day worth celebrating, I will take you to the city for a good meal." ”

Liu Zhi'er's mood is generally very good, she said goodbye to more than a year of gray life today, since then the chapter of life has turned a new page, thinking that she should face the future with a positive attitude, so she jumped into the car.

Lin Dong drove to the city, found a restaurant, and parked the car in the open space in front of the restaurant.

The lobby manager of the restaurant had sharp eyes, saw a luxury car, and immediately stood at the door and bowed and waited. When Lin Dong and Liu Zhi'er entered the door, they saw that there was snow on the two of them, and immediately dusted off the snow for the two.

"Hello, do you have a private room?" Lin Dong asked.

The lobby manager smiled, "Please come with me." After that, walk ahead and lead the way. …,

Liu Zhi'er pulled Lin Dong's sleeve and said in a low voice: "Brother Dongzi, what are the two of us doing in a private room?" That's a lot of money. ”

Lin Dong smiled: "It's okay, it doesn't cost much, it's too noisy outside, and the private room environment is good." ”

The lobby manager brought the two of them into the private hall and asked with a smile, "Hello sir, are there any other guests?" ”

Lin Dong said: "No, just the two of us." ”

The lobby manager whistled in his heart: "Sure enough, there are rich people, and two people also need private rooms, and there is no place to spend money!" But he smiled and said, "Do you want to order food now?" ”

Lin Dong nodded, "No, you can pick up your hotel's specialties and serve us a few." ”

The lobby manager nodded, "Understood, then I'll retire first, and the two of you will do it for a while." ”

Lin Dong took Liu Zhi'er's hand and pulled her to the rest area on the side of the private hall, the two sat down on the sofa, and immediately a waiter brought tea.

"We'll do it ourselves." Lin Dong smiled and said to the waiter, the waiter is also a smart person, understood what Lin Dong meant, nodded and withdrew.

There are only two people left in the private room, Lin Dong and Liu Zhi'er, Liu Zhi'er has never been in such a good hotel to eat, and she always feels uncomfortable sitting on the sofa, and she doesn't even know where to put her hands.

"Zhi'er, I've almost taken care of the affairs at home, you go back and prepare. If nothing else happens, I think I'll probably be able to leave for Sioux City in just two days. ”

Liu Zhi'er said: "Brother Dongzi, I want to find something to do, I can't rely on you to support me, but I can't do anything, I don't know if I can find a job." ”

Lin Dong said with a smile: "What stupid things to say, you can earn a few bucks when you go out, and when the time comes, after I settle you down, you can have a good time, don't think about work first, and when you get tired of playing one day, I will help you arrange it." ”

Liu Zhi'er shook her head, "No! I have to find it myself, we countrymen are not afraid of hardship, tiredness, or dirty, I think I can always find a job. Eat with your own hands, so that you can eat well and sleep well. ”

Lin Dong asked curiously: "Zhi'er, I always thought you were a well-behaved and obedient girl, I didn't see that you still have so many independent thoughts in your bones, just rush to this point, you are better than many women in the city who rely on men to eat their youth." ”

Liu Zhi'er heard Lin Dong praise her, and said excitedly: "Brother Dongzi, do you agree with me to go out to work in this way?" ”

"Agreed, but you won't be able to find a good job on your own, you're scheming, and you're likely to be used by bad people outside, so don't worry about work, I'll arrange it for you...... Lin Dongdao.

Liu Zhi'er wanted to refuse, but when she thought of Su Cheng, Lin Dong would definitely not be able to accompany her all the time, and she could go out to find it by herself when the time came.

After Liu Zhi'er got used to the environment of the restaurant, she began to talk to Lin Dong about her yearning for her future life.

"Brother Dongzi, in the next few years, I want to make my own money to buy a house, and when the time comes, I will take my parents and Genzi over to live with me, so that they can also become city people."

Lin Dong smiled on his face, but he didn't take Liu Zhi'er's words seriously in his heart, thinking that this was just a little girl who had never done anything in the world, how could she know how difficult it was to make money outside, if she had a house price of twenty or thirty thousand square meters in Su Cheng, I am afraid she would not say that. But he didn't expect that two years later, Liu Zhi'er would do it, and at that time, no one could have imagined that she was just a rural girl who had never been out of the city two years ago.

After a while, the lobby manager personally led a team of waiters to deliver more than a dozen dishes, and introduced them to Lin Dong and the others one by one. Lin Dong listened very satisfied, and couldn't stop nodding, while Liu Zhi'er gritted his teeth, looking at the manager in front of him who always had an indelible smile on his face, thinking that this guy was not a good person, knowing that there were only two of them, he actually got a table of dishes, isn't this obviously killing them! …,

"The two of you eat slowly, if you have any requirements, please command, I have been in the lobby outside.

After the lobby manager finished speaking, he bowed and withdrew.

After waiting for the two of them to be left in the room, Liu Zhi'er said angrily: "Hmph, Brother Dongzi, that manager is not a good person, he wants to cheat your money, you can see, how can the two of us finish these dishes!" ”

Lin Dong smiled: "Zhi'er, you are wrong. Don't underestimate the manager, he's a smart guy, and I said a few words to him when we came in, and he got my mind to it, so I'm very satisfied with the table. ”

Liu Zhi'er stared at Lin Dong with wide eyes, very puzzled, "Brother Dongzi, you mean that this table of dishes is what you want." ”

Lin Dong nodded, "It can be said that today is a day worth celebrating, so let's waste it." Zhi'er, I want so many dishes just to make you happy, if you are not happy, then my thoughts will be in vain, so you have to be happy, don't always think about how much money you can't eat and waste on this table. You don't have to think about anything, just see if the dish is good or not.

Liu Zhi'er still felt that it was too wasteful, but after she knew that Lin Dong had asked for so many dishes for her, the joy in her heart gradually prevailed, and a smile gradually appeared on her face.

Halfway through eating, Lin Dong remembered what was missing and asked, "Zhi'er, do you want to drink some wine?" ”

Liu Zhi'er shook her head, "No, Brother Dongzi, I can't drink, I'll get drunk after a sip." ”

Lin Dong said with a smile: "Let's not drink white wine, drink red wine, the alcohol content is low." ”

Liu Zhi'er smiled: "I haven't drunk red wine yet, I'm happy today, so let's drink a little, if it's not delicious, I won't drink it." ”

Lin Dong called the waiter standing at the door in, asked what kind of red wine there was, and then chose a wine that was strong and soft. The waiter brought the wine in, opened the bottle and poured it for them, and then went out again.

Lin Dong raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Zhi'er, congratulations on your freedom!" ”

Liu Zhi'er picked up the wine glass and touched it with Lin Dong, and felt that the red wine was very fragrant grape juice, so he took a sip, who knew that it was so spicy and bitter, and it was hard to swallow the wine, put down the wine glass, and pinched a few chopsticks in a row, and the taste of wine in his mouth faded, "Brother Dongzi, you killed me, don't drink it, drink it yourself." ”

Lin Dong said with a smile: "Zhi'er, don't resist, the taste of red wine is actually very good, when you first drink it, you will feel a little unpleasant, after getting used to it, you will find that it is good, I don't believe you can taste it more." ”

Liu Zhi'er was skeptical of Lin Dong's words, picked up the wine glass and put it under his nose and smelled it, the smell of wine was still so unpleasant, I really couldn't understand why such a difficult thing would be sold so expensive, and I couldn't figure out why so many people were willing to spend so much money to buy such a difficult wine.

"Don't resist, give it a try." Lin Dong said softly.

Liu Zhi'er closed her eyes and took a sip, her eyebrows and eyes wrinkled together, she swallowed in pain, opened her mouth and exhaled out.

"How's it going, are you feeling better?" Lin Dong asked with a smile.

Liu Zhi'er shook her head again and again, "You liar, it's still so unpleasant." ”

Lin Dong took a bite of the dish and gave it to her, "You try it a few more times, I felt the same hard to swallow as you at the beginning, it was too unpleasant, but I had to drink it for entertainment, and now I can't drink the bitter taste, but I feel that the taste of red wine is very good." Lin Dong told the truth and didn't lie to her.

Liu Zhi'er trusted Lin Dong the most, so she took another sip of it, and now she really felt that the taste was not so unpleasant, in fact, it was because her taste buds gradually adapted to the taste of red wine. Liu Dahai and his family are both good drinkers, Liu Zhi'er inherited good genes from them, and after drinking a glass of wine, she only felt slightly dizzy, and did not vomit as she imagined. …,

"Brother Dongzi, my face is so hot." Liu Zhi'er's face was crimson, and under the influence of alcohol, she hid her pale face, and there was no sign that she was still sick.

Lin Dong said: "Zhi'er, you eat more vegetables and don't drink it." ”

Liu Zhi'er drank a little too much, and said with a smile: "No, I'm happy today, I still want to drink." ”

Lin Dong said: "Zhi'er, be obedient, don't drink, eat quickly, otherwise it will be cold." ”

Lin Dong's words worked very well for her, even when she was slightly drunk, Liu Zhi'er still listened to him, put down the wine glass, and picked up the chopsticks.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the two walked out of the private room, followed by two waiters, carrying the dishes that Liu Zhier had asked to pack. The lobby manager kept sending Lin Dong to the door, Liu Zhi'er walked crookedly, Lin Dong helped her, helped her into the car, fastened her seat belt, and then sat in the driver's seat.

Lin Dong drove out of the hotel, and after a while, Liu Zhi'er sobered up a little and said: "Brother Dongzi, I don't want to bring Genzi out, he must hate me in his heart, you take me to the agricultural and industrial supermarket, I'll buy him some KFC and take it back, he likes to eat that." ”

Lin Dong smiled: "Zhi'er, you are too good to Genzi, you can't spoil him too much." ”

Liu Zhi'er tilted her head to the side, half of her face was pressed against the car window, and her hot face was pressed against the cold glass, which could make her feel more comfortable, "I'm going to go to Sioux City with you soon, so I can't see Genzi often, and I will spoil him while I'm still at home." ”

Lin Dong said: "It's really a blessing for him to have your sister at the root." Well, I'll take you to the agribusiness. ”

Liu Zhi'er closed her eyes and muttered to herself: "When I have saved enough money, I will take my roots to the city to study." The conditions there are good, and the roots are so smart, you can definitely be admitted to the university............"
