The main street of Yanhua City, the second floor of the dormitory building of the Regional Civil Affairs Bureau.

Zhao Ge cooked a little noodles, sat alone at the small square table, and ate silently, or rather, Zhao Ge was "playing" with noodles, picked one up with chopsticks, looked, didn't eat it, and put it back in the bowl.

Zhao Ge really didn't have the slightest appetite.

From the Chinese New Year to the present, Zhao Ge has lost several pounds, and his originally plump figure has become like a willow, with a pointed chin, and his eyes are particularly big and haggard.

Xia Yan and Xiao Luo went to drink again and invited Zhao Ge, but Zhao Ge refused with a smile, saying that he was not feeling well and let them go.

Zhao Ge is not unwell, but has a heart.

Xia Yan and Xiao Luo were stunned, naturally no one would understand Zhao Ge's psychology, and they thought she was waiting for the second brother.

This is the old dormitory building of the Civil Affairs Bureau, an old-fashioned tube building model, and many empty houses. Yanhua City, as the location of the regional organs, has begun the housing reform, the regional civil affairs bureau, not long ago built a new unit-type dormitory building, some of the qualified cadres, first moved over, the old house was vacant, Zhao Ge and a few of them, rented a few rooms to live. Continued to engage in the business of treasury bill purchases.

Fan Hongyu occasionally comes here to chat with everyone.

This is very normal, everyone knows the relationship between the second brother and Sister Ge'er, lovers, so what is there to worry about? The second brother is sparse, and I heard that he is very busy with work during this time.

That's also very understandable, the second brother is doing big things, and he can't be too childlike.

Zhao Ge didn't expect Fan Hongyu to come at noon today.

He is in Maple Grove Town, accompanying Gao Jie.

How beautiful can Mayor Gao be? What a good temperament? What a good background? What a family? What a bright future?

Fan Hongyu even said that one day in the future, Gao Jie can be the mayor!

Everything is so perfect, far from being comparable to Zhao Ge.

Zhao Ge is a wild huā in the mountains, blooming quietly, and before the people who really appreciate her arrive, it quietly withered again.

Picking up the noodles, a little bit of tears flowed down in Zhao Ge's big eyes.

In this world, why is it so bitter!

It's so hard to love someone!

At that moment, the door was gently pushed open.

Zhao Ge, who was completely immersed in his thoughts, was so shocked that he leaned back violently and almost fell off the bamboo chair.

It's Fan Hongyu.

His tall stature obscured almost all light from the doorway.

"What's the matter, Ge'er, scaring you?" Seeing that Zhao Ge was like a frightened rabbit, Fan Hongyu hurriedly asked with concern, then his eyes swept and said, "What about Xia Yan?" Aren't they there? When I saw that the door was unlocked, I thought they were all eating at your place. When you're home alone, why don't you lock the door? ”

As he spoke, Fan Hongyu's brows furrowed.

Although Yanhua's public order is slightly better than Yuyang's, it is not necessarily "the road is not forgotten and the house is not closed at night". Throughout the 80s and the mid-to-early 90s, social order in remote towns across the country was not very good.

Zhao Ge is so beautiful again.

"They went out to eat at noon, Xia Yan had a treat, and they wanted to drink."

Zhao Ge hurriedly replied, turned his head, and raised his hand to wipe his tears.

"Why did this guy suddenly become addicted to alcohol?"

Fan Hongyu shook his head, not noticing Zhao Ge's abnormality. Director Fan is thoughtful, has strong logical reasoning ability, and is like a god, and after going back in time, he deliberately corrected his stinky and hard bad temper, and he was like a fish in water in officialdom. But in terms of love between men and women, Director Fan's level has not been significantly improved, and it is very rough.

"Yes, I also advised him to drink less...... By the way, Hongyu, you haven't eaten yet, I'll cook for you. ”

Zhao Ge wiped away his tears, smiled reluctantly, and said.

Fan Hongyu said with a smile: "You don't need to cook, just cook a noodle." Let's eat together. ”

"Okay."

Zhao Ge responded.

She really doesn't have the heart to cook now.

This old-fashioned tube building, there is no kitchen and bathroom configuration, and even the toilet and bathhouse are in another place, to go to the toilet at night, you must carry out a "long journey" to live on the first and second floors is better, and it is troublesome to live on the fourth or fifth floors, especially in winter. Every household has set up a stove in the corridor, and the entire corridor is filled with oil smoke, and the smell of onions, garlic and chili peppers wafts all year round.

This time, there were many empty houses, so Zhao Ge rented an extra room, changed it to a kitchen, and opened it up to his bedroom, but he didn't need to go to the corridor to cook. At present, with Xia Yan and Xiao Luo, there are a total of six people engaged in the treasury bill purchase business in Yanhua. It's all Zhao Ge who cooks. On weekdays, Zhao Ge doesn't go to the streets and alleys, but just manages the accounts and is responsible for logistics and supply.

Xiao Luo and them are under the control of Xia Yan.

Xia Yan is a straightforward personality, generous, and not bad for money in his hand, it didn't take long for him to develop the style of a "big brother", majestic, Xiao Luo and they are very obedient.

Singer Zhao's feet are still sharp, and he quickly made a large bowl of shredded pork noodles, and also lay two golden fried eggs, accompanied by green onions and garlic, which are fragrant and extremely attractive.

"Well, it's delicious, it's so delicious......"

Fan Hongyu sat down in front of the small square table and ate it in a big gulp, and couldn't help but admire.

A smile appeared on Zhao Ge's pale face.

This man is the "culprit" who makes her haggard to the point of making her feel so tender that she can't sleep, Zhao Ge even secretly "hates" him, if he doesn't appear in his life, maybe now, he won't be so entangled, right? But as long as Fan Hongyu stood in front of him and watched him gobble up the food he cooked, Zhao Ge's heart immediately rippled with tenderness.

Perhaps, this is what it feels like to love someone?

"Ge'er, your craftsmanship is really much stronger than the master of the big canteen in our town, I have eaten the big canteen every day these days, and I am going to vomit after eating......"

Fan Hongyu continued to praise.

A wisp of dark clouds drifted over Zhao Ge's beautiful cheeks, and the luster that had just flashed in his big eyes dimmed again.

Inadvertently, Fan Hongyu revealed his "tendency" again.

He belongs to Maple Grove now!

Belong to Gaojie!

Zhao Ge is just a post station here.

"Is the noodles enough? If it's not enough, I'll cook you some more? ”

Zhao Ge smiled a little bitterly and said.

"Enough is enough...... Hey, Ge'er, why don't you eat it? You eat too, you eat too, your noodles are all mushy. ”

Fan Hongyu noticed that the small bowl of noodles in front of Zhao Ge almost didn't move.

"Eat, I'm full."

Zhao Ge smiled bitterly again.

Fan Hongyu got serious, stopped eating noodles, looked at Zhao Ge carefully, frowned slightly, and said, "Ge'er, do you have something on your mind?" You've lost a lot of weight during this time! ”

"Ah, nothing, I ...... I'm fine, but I don't have a good appetite these days......"

"No, you lied to me."

Fan Hongyu shook his head resolutely, his eyes shining. In the relationship between men and women, he is relatively rough, but that is also relative. As long as he admits the truth of something and initiates his "logical reasoning", it will not be easy to coax.

Fan Hongyu pushed away the noodle bowl, stood up, walked in front of Zhao Ge, looked at it carefully, and said suspiciously: "Ge'er, are you doubting me?" ”

"No, no...... I didn't doubt ......."

Zhao Ge shook his head again and again, his expression was very flustered, avoiding Fan Hongyu's eyes, not daring to look at him, his heart jumped up with a "poof", and a blush quietly appeared on her pale cheeks.

"Silly girl, are you still lying to me? What do you suspect? I'm in Maple Grove and it's work. ”

"I know, I know......"

Zhao Ge nodded in a panic.

"You don't know, you don't know anything.

Fan Hongyu said in a rough voice, stretched out his long arms, and hugged Zhao Ge's thin body in his arms very rudely.

Zhao Ge lay quietly in his arms, not struggling, but there was no further movement, his hands hung down at his sides, and he did not wrap around Fan Hongyu's waist as before.

During that time in the army, there were often some more intimate actions between the two.

Since Guan Limei went to the army before the Chinese New Year and Zhao Ge left, after the Spring Festival, she seemed to have suddenly become estranged from Fan Hongyu, even if she was alone with Fan Hongyu, she was also well-behaved, and she didn't even pull her hand anymore.

Fan Hongyu didn't speak, just hugged her tightly.

Time passed minute by minute, and the quiet Zhao Ge finally moved, struggling gently, but the struggle was so weak, Fan Hongyu was motionless, and his arms did not relax.

Slowly, Zhao Ge's hands were raised, gently wrapped around Fan Hongyu's strong waist, and lay on his chest, tears flowed down bit by bit, and he choked up and said, "Hongyu, we ...... What will happen to us? ”

Fan Hongyu lowered his head and kissed her hair gently.

"Hongyu, I know, I'm making it difficult for you...... I'm not worthy of you...... Your mom and dad won't agree to us being together. I'm older than you, and I don't have a good reputation, I ......"

Zhao Ge muttered, his tone extremely bitter.

"Ge'er, don't get entangled, everything will have a way...... I'm going to the capital tomorrow, and maybe to the south. You are ready, when I come back from the south, you and Xia Yan may be about to pass. ”

Fan Hongyu said.

"Shall we go south?"

Zhao Ge raised his head in his arms, tears in his eyes, and a little surprised.

"Hmm. Our principal is about the same now, and this business can be bigger. Ge'er, there are many things to do in life, don't dwell on one thing. We are all young, we have a long way to go, and the world is big. ”

Fan Hongyu comforted in a low voice.

"You...... Who are you going to the capital with? ”

Zhao Ge couldn't help but ask.

Director Fan's level of ideological work is obviously very average, how can a girl say that she can not be entangled if she is not entangled in such a thing?

Fan Hongyu couldn't help laughing, Zhong took out his big hand, gently wiped the tears from her face, and said: "Silly girl, don't think nonsense, Gao Jie is my leader and a person I respect." And you, my love! ”

Zhao Ge let out a low groan, buried his head deep in his strong chest, hugged him tightly with both hands, and refused to let go.
