Xiangzi, as usual, came to the county office early in the morning. Seeing that County Magistrate Liu had a tiger face, he froze on the chair and was stunned.

I didn't know what to say, but I saw that County Magistrate Liu woke up like a dream, and said, "You came just in time, and I have something important to tell you." ”

Xiangzi lifted his spirit and leaned over, and County Magistrate Liu let out a long sigh, looked at Xiangzi with some sadness, and said: "You have been with me for a few years, and you have done a lot of things, and the benefits have not fallen." Turned upside down, he didn't even have a name. ”

Xiangzi looked at him suspiciously, and snorted: "I think it's good, I ......"

County Magistrate Liu endured something, waved his hand to interrupt Xiangzi, and then said, "Time is tight, so I won't talk to you." I'm going to be transferred to the province on business, and I have to leave tomorrow. ”

Xiangzi was slightly stunned, and then said with an insincere smile: "It's a good thing, when you go to the province, isn't it just a high promotion?" Congratulations. ”

County Magistrate Liu shook his head with a wry smile, and sighed: "What a high rise, it's just to make room for others." When I got to the province, I didn't know what to do with me. ”

Xiangzi just wanted to say something, but was blocked by County Magistrate Liu.

As if he had settled down, he leaned close to Xiangzi's ear and said, "Although the belongings you saved have been registered in the warehouse, the list has been pressed on me and has not been officially recorded. Take advantage of this opportunity to get some and go, buy it if you don't need it, and you can also get some money. The one who took my seat was a second-rate man, and the things were handed over to him, and it didn't take two years for him to be defeated. ”

After a pause, County Magistrate Liu looked at Xiangzi with a fatherly gaze and said, "If you want to mix in the yamen, I will make up the procedures for you to be the deputy director of the police department." The assistant is a fictitious position, and I'm afraid I'll ...... when I'm gone."

Xiangzi smiled lightly and said, "I'm an assistant, purely for you." If your old man leaves, I will be at ease, so I won't be an errand for others. ”

County Magistrate Liu patted Xiangzi on the shoulder with emotion, and said softly: "Don't say anything, come and pick up some handy guys, move somewhere, and report the rest to me for a list." ”

Xiangzi was about to twist around and leave, but stopped hesitantly. With a cautious gaze, he looked at County Magistrate Liu and muttered, "It won't cause you trouble, right?" ”

County Magistrate Liu waved his hand irritably and said, "Go quickly!" Just go! My hands and feet are sharp, and I have miles in my heart. ”

Shoko is not a greedy person, although some of Curry's guns and ammunition were obtained by himself. The rest was also exchanged for the lives of his brothers.

Regardless of whether the new county magistrate was good or bad, Shoko still took the part he thought he should take: ten Type 79 rifles, two light machine guns, and three boxes of ammunition. The rest was carefully listed and handed over to County Magistrate Liu.

County Magistrate Liu glanced at it roughly, and muttered as if dissatisfied: "Why do you still leave him so many miles." ”

Xiangzi was about to say something, but was simply blocked back by County Magistrate Liu and said, "Sensei, are you such a person?" ”

After a pause, he took out a file bag from the drawer, held it in his hand, and said, "Let's go!" I'll go somewhere with you. ”

Xiangzi was full of suspicion, and silently followed County Magistrate Liu to an elegant courtyard in the north of the city.

There is a row of main houses, and there are two wings on the east and west. Judging from the elm tree in the corner of the courtyard, the house is also a few years old.

County Magistrate Liu opened the door of the main house, and there was everything in it.

County Magistrate Liu glanced at the scene in the house with a pleased gaze, and said with a smile: "What is this house like?" ”

Shoko said casually without thinking, "Well, that's good. ”

County Magistrate Liu smiled slyly at him, handed the document bag in his hand to Xiangzi, and said, "From now on, it will be yours, this is the deed." ”

Xiangzi looked at County Magistrate Liu in astonishment, and shouted at a little bewilderment: "What is this talking about?" I can't just take your stuff. ”

County Magistrate Liu patted Xiangzi on the shoulder cordially, and said with a smile: "I just like this righteousness and brightness in you." Rest assured! This is my private property. The money you have given you and what you have done for me are not at all the same as what you have done for me.

But you've never bothered with me, and I've always been unhappy with it. What's more, you've saved my life over and over again. This house is even a little compensation from me. Oh, it is said that in three years of Qingzhi County, 100,000 snowflakes of silver, I am empty-handed. ”

Xiangzi sighed lightly and said, "Otherwise, sell the house, you will also need money to go to the province." ”

County Magistrate Liu smiled and said, "In these chaotic years, the house is not worth much. Besides, I'm going to work on an errand, and I'm not fleeing, so what are I doing with so much money? If you have this yard, you can simply take Shuzhen's mother and daughter over to live together. It's been all these years, and what are you not taught?"

Shoko smiled shyly and didn't say anything.

As if he suddenly remembered something, County Magistrate Liu said with a melancholy face: "You just fell into the empty space like this, and you don't have a suitable job to do when you are busy, I still feel unsteady in my heart." ”

When Xiangzi heard this, he looked disappreciative and said, "I'm easy to do, one person eats enough and the whole family is not hungry." Besides, I've saved some money over the years, and if I can't do it, I'll learn to do a small business. ”

County Magistrate Liu glanced at Xiangzi with a fatherly gaze, sighed lightly, and said nothing.

Seeing off County Magistrate Liu, Xiangzi suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of loss. It was as if my heart was half empty all of a sudden. After all, after working together for five years, County Magistrate Liu's righteousness, selflessness, and frank style made Xiangzi deeply admired. In Xiangzi's opinion, County Magistrate Liu is the best county magistrate he has ever met. Although Xiangzi took the position of assistant to the county magistrate very lightly, he reluctantly served only at the county magistrate Liu. But the sudden resignation also made him at a loss for a while.

Five years as an assistant has made him accustomed to government work. As for how to go on the road in the future and how the days will pass, Xiangzi is not prepared at all.

Walking on the street for a while, I suddenly remembered that I hadn't gone to Kong's house to visit the old lady for a long time, so I came to Kong's house three times and two times.

Since Xiuzhi and Xiangzi's marriage was revealed, the Kong family felt very sorry for Xiangzi and owed Xiangzi a piece. Seeing that Xiangzi didn't take this matter to heart, he felt that Xiangzi was a strong man who understood righteousness and could bend and stretch. Therefore, I admired and liked him even more in my heart. The son-in-law couldn't do it, so the old lady of the Kong family tried to recognize her godson. Unexpectedly, when this matter was mentioned, Shoko readily agreed. and said that in fact, he had long regarded Mrs. Kong as his mother. So, the Kong family happily set up a few tables of banquets and recognized their righteous son lively.

For the second elder of the Kong family, Xiangzi does have an inexplicable good feeling. It's not just that Mrs. Kong is devout in studying Buddhism, and her heart is very kind. The reason why Mr. Kong is easy-going and charitable is that he has a sense of déjà vu anyway. Perhaps, this is what the Buddhists call fate.
