In the western suburbs of Yunhu Town, a small river surrounds the city, turning a bend in the western suburbs, forming a small river bay, on the river bay, peach forests are patches. Unfortunately, it's late autumn, and the peach trees are starting to lose their leaves, blending with the dead grass around them, and they're all withering. The autumn wind blows, and the body is cool.

A cement bridge that is not too wide flies north and south, and from one side of the bridge, you can go down to the river beach.

"Uncle, lollipops don't taste as good as toffee......"

Xiao Youyou had a lollipop in his mouth and muttered.

Fan Hongyu laughed and twisted the bridge of her straight little nose: "You snack, your teeth have fallen out, and you still want to eat toffee, beware of staining all your other teeth." ”

Youyou grinned, missing her two upper front teeth.

Children generally start to change their teeth around the age of seven, and Youyou will be seven years old in two months.

Today, on Sunday, Fan Hongyu took Youyou out for a stroll. This has almost become a habit of County Magistrate Fan, and in his spare time, taking Youyou to play for an hour or two can be a good way to relieve the tense brain nerves.

The city's people's congress will be held soon, and all work in the county is very tense. During this time, Lu Jiu was busy talking to the top leaders of various districts and towns and major municipal units below. These cadres all have a common identity: deputies to the Municipal People's Congress.

In convening the city's people's congress, the heads of the district and county delegations have one of the most important tasks, that is, to effectively control the delegations, resolutely implement the instructions and guidelines of the municipal party committee, and ensure that there will be no accidents at the people's congresses.

Lu Jiu is the head of the Yunhu County delegation.

At the same time, other work in the county is basically managed by Fan Hongyu. Lu Jiu almost completely let go. At present, the situation has become clear, and Lu Jiu has retained his identity as a candidate for deputy mayor, only waiting for the people's congress to be held. Anyone with a modicum of officialdom knows it. As long as Lu Jiu's name can appear on the ballot of the deputy mayor candidate when the people's congress is convened, his election as vice mayor is a certainty.

Fan Hongyu will soon become the secretary of the Yunhu County Party Committee.

The only thing that makes it difficult for the cadres of Yunhu County to figure out who will be the magistrate of Yunhu County. The jury is still out. At first, everyone thought that it was a matter of course for executive deputy county magistrate Qi Zhenghong to take over as county magistrate. If the former county magistrate Cui hadn't been suddenly transferred out because of the "emergency" of the Chaoyang Farm trouble, it would have been in this order.

Lao Cui has been the county magistrate for nearly four years, serving as the secretary of the county party committee, and Qi Zhenghong has been the executive deputy county magistrate for many years, taking over as the county magistrate.

Everything fell into place.

But now the news coming out of the city is not optimistic. There seems to be little mention of Qi Zhenghong taking over as Yunhu county magistrate, and this situation is the most worrying. If you say, there is news mentioning Qi Zhenghong. Even if it is to say that he is not suitable to be a county magistrate. It's also better than not having news of him at all. What does this mean? It shows that Qi Zhenghong has already been out. Not at all favored by the city leaders.

Qi Zhenghong was depressed.

But the other comrades were not depressed, on the contrary, they were quite jubilant.

Qi Zhenghong has no chance, doesn't that mean that the opportunity for other deputy county magistrates has come?

This officialdom. It's so bizarre and grinding. And then the outstanding character. Caught in officialdom, don't think about being at ease.

Lu Ting was wearing a milky white long windbreaker, lined with a beige high-necked sweater, crisp black suit pants, and black small high-heeled leather shoes. The shoulder-length hair is straight and black, dancing and flying in the autumn breeze, adding a bit of elegance and charm.

However, it seems that at this moment, Mr. Lu's eyebrows are lightly locked, revealing wisps of sorrow and longing.

It's not the first time I've come to the suburbs to relax by the river. When Lu Ting proposed an outing for the first time, Fan Hongyu agreed very happily, and as soon as he arrived by this small river, Fan Hongyu liked it almost immediately, and it was indeed a good place for an outing.

Coming here today is still from Lu Ting's proposal.

Slightly unexpected to Fan Hongyu.

On holidays, Fan Hongyu takes Xiao Youyou out to play, and usually Lu Ting will follow, but she doesn't take the idea, she all listens to Fan Hongyu, Fan Hongyu will go wherever she goes, and Lu Ting just silently followed. Lu Ting knew that there were already rumors in the school, saying that she was Fan Hongyu's lover. Some rumors are even very unbearable, saying that she was able to "reborn a salted fish" because she was tempted by the county magistrate. Otherwise, how could County Magistrate Fan be so good to her.

A female teacher in a neighboring county is not related to Fan Hongyu, why did the county magistrate Fan go so hard to help her, and did not hesitate to offend Qiu Haoming, secretary of the Moping County Party Committee, and even offended the mayor Guo Qinghua, and sent Qiu Lixing to prison. It is said that the Municipal Public Security Bureau intends to supplement the investigation of Qiu Lixing's crimes and is preparing to increase his sentence.

Could there be no reason for this?

In particular, the county magistrate Fan often comes to the second elementary school and takes Lu Ting and Youyou's mother and daughter out shopping, just like a family of three. Nominally, it is the county magistrate Fan who likes children very much, but who can believe such a reason? Who will believe it?

It is clear that the drunkard does not mean to drink, and he just uses children as shields.

The one who holds the child during the day and hugs it at night should be Lu Ting.

Whether it is on TV, in novels or folk tales, a handsome little widow like Lu Ting is a well-deserved fox spirit who attracts bees and butterflies.

Plus Fan Hongyu is so young, a lonely man and a widow, isn't it?

Didn't you see that this little is getting more and more watery now?

Moisturize!

I don't know how these rumors came out, and they have been spreading more and more recently.

Lu Ting didn't say anything, every time Fan Hongyu invited her out, she followed. It's not that saying "the body is not afraid of shadows" can solve all of Lu Ting's worries and worries, the key is that she understands Fan Hongyu's character. Fan Hongyu is by no means the kind of person who will give in easily, let alone unfounded rumors.

Lu Ting was afraid that as soon as she opened her mouth, the effect would backfire.

provoked Fan Hongyu to be furious and went to track down the source of the rumors, which would be a bad thing.

Compared with those colleagues in the second elementary school who have a calm life, Lu Ting has experienced too many ups and downs, and her understanding of the world is far deeper than theirs, and her understanding of human nature is more profound and detailed. She believes that Fan Hongyu's tenacity is far above her. She can face these vulgar rumors indifferently, let alone Fan Hongyu.

Those who achieve great things are not informal.

This sentence is applied to Fan Hongyu, which could not be more appropriate.

"County Magistrate Fan, I heard that you are about to become a secretary?"

Lu Ting asked casually.

Fan Hongyu glanced at her, smiled and said, "Why do you pay attention to this?" ”

Lu Ting smiled lightly and said, "During this time, some teachers in the second elementary school were talking about this issue, and the principal also asked me about it...... He said that if County Magistrate Fan became the secretary, the changes in Yunhu would be greater, and the allocation to the school would be more. In fact, I know that he wants the county to allocate some more money to the school. ”

This is normal.

Finding a way to do everything is the quintessence of our country, not to mention that there is a "county magistrate's lover" by his side, and the principal naturally has to find ways to use it to get some practical benefits for the school. Of course, it would be even more beautiful if you could get some practical benefits for yourself.

Fan Hongyu said with a smile: "I'll think about this problem again, it's almost the end of the year, and the finances are relatively tight." Next year, after the Chinese New Year, I will consider further increasing funding for education. Education is a prosperous country, and it is not a bad thing to care more about it. ”

Lu Ting smiled and nodded.

Fan Hongyu is different from ordinary leaders, if he is another leader, he will definitely talk about things, either agree to allocate funds to the second small school, or pretend not to hear. Only Fan Hongyu always looks at the problem from the perspective of the overall situation. With a few words, a topic that may cause infinite reverie and embarrassment in the future will be raised to the strategic height of the whole county, which makes people have nothing to say and can only admire.

"Uncle uncle, let's go to the river to play, uncle take a picture of me......"

Xiao Youyou took Fan Hongyu's hand and shouted.

Every time I hang out with my uncle, Yuyou's favorite thing is to take pictures. In the past year, the photos Fan Hongyu took of her can fill two albums, and the little girl is so beautiful.

"Okay."

Fan Hongyu smiled and nodded, picked up Youyou, and strode towards the river beach under the bridge.

Lu Ting followed silently, and a touch of sadness and grief flashed in her eyes.

This small river beach is a secret hidden in Lu Ting's heart. When she was still in school at Yunhu No. 1 Middle School, she would often come here with Xihao. She and Xi Hao are alumni, and Xi Hao is two grades higher than her. Children in rural areas are sensible early, and when they go to high school, they begin to have a hazy sprout of love. At that time, Xihao was also the same as Fan Hongyu in front of him, tall and handsome, sunny and handsome. They are considered to be the most compatible pair in the village. With Lu Ting's grades, she could be admitted to a better university, but she finally chose Qihe Middle Normal School. The reason for this is that students in normal schools are subsidized. At that time, the family situation of the two families was not very good, so Xihao also chose to go to a military school, both wanting to reduce the burden on the family.

On this small river beach, the best memories of Lu Ting's youth were left.

However, no one knew that in November seven years ago, the army sent a second-class military merit medal and a martyr's certificate to Lu Ting, who was pregnant with Liujia. From that moment on, Lu Ting's sky turned gray from then on.

"Mom, Mom, hurry up, come, take pictures of me and my uncle."

Not far away, the carefree Youyou rode on the cracked trunk of a peach tree, next to Fan Hongyu, constantly waving to Lu Ting, smiling like a flower.

Lu Ting smiled and raised the camera to freeze this moment.

Hee-ho, did you see that?

Your daughter has found a man who loves her like a father.

Lu Ting said silently in her heart.

A gust of wind blew, and Lu Ting's eyes moistened.

Fan Hongyu asked, "Teacher Lu, do you have something on your mind?" ”

"Ah, no...... The wind blew to the eyes......"

Lu Ting hurriedly turned her head, gently wiped her tears, and when she turned her head again, she had already changed to a shallow smile, like a peach blossom in February, subtle and charming.
