In the spring of this year, it is rare for goose feathers to fall in Yuezhou.

When he got up in the morning, Ning Zhiyuan was pleasantly surprised to find that the outside world was snow-white, so he quickly snapped a few photos and immediately posted them to his family's WeChat group. After a while, Yu Yan called and exclaimed, old man, it's so beautiful, hurry up and send me a video. He laughed and ran to the school playground to record the video.

The WeChat group was suddenly lively, and Xue Jiaju also sent a message, saying that Yuezhou was afraid that it had not snowed for more than ten years. Yun Shi's father said that this year, the old man Qingming will return to Xinglong Town, and the family will come back. Ning Zhiyuan hurriedly sent a message and said, Okay, I'll arrange it in advance.

When he came to the office, Ning Zhiyuan patted the snowflakes on his body and said to Jian Yuntian, "Call Ling Wei, let's go and contact Shiqiao Town, the township, to have a look." Jian Yuntian hurriedly went to arrange it and notified Zhao Dong, secretary of the party committee. Since becoming Minister of Propaganda, the biggest advantage is that I can arrange my schedule freely.

When the car leaves the county seat of Yuezhou, the fields are covered with snow, as if entering a fairy tale world. On the road, only the black marks of the wheels could be seen, and Lao Fan drove the car carefully. Along the way, from time to time, I saw a car leaning on the roadside ditch, Ning Zhiyuan hurriedly took out the phone, and was about to dial the phone of the county transportation director, thinking about it and putting it down, I couldn't help laughing that I was still in the role of the director of the county party committee office.

Zhao Dong stood by the car smoking and waiting, and when he saw Ning Zhiyuan coming, he immediately greeted him, and said with a smile, thank you for the minister's concern. Ning Zhiyuan got out of the car, looked at the surrounding cadres and people were busy clearing the snow, and asked with a smile, in addition to the impact of travel, are there any problems in other aspects? Zhao Dong replied that all the cadres stationed in the village had been dispatched, and the meeting would be able to collect and summarize the situation. Ning Zhiyuan said, let's find a few places and take a look.

After walking through several farms, the group came to the vegetable base and saw four large trucks lined up on the side of the road, and the workers were carrying sacks on the truck. Ning Zhiyuan told the person in charge of the base that the worse the weather, the more important it is to ensure the supply of the market, and pay special attention to transportation, the road is slippery and easy to have accidents, so you must be more careful! The person in charge of the base patted his chest and said, rest assured, we will definitely implement your instructions. Ning Zhiyuan smiled and said to Zhao Dong, Secretary Zhao is really a good leader, everyone talks about the rules like this. There was laughter in the field.

Seeing that the time was still early, Ning Zhiyuan said, let's go to Xinglong Town to see the flower dance world, this is the best time to harvest mountain herbs, I don't know what the situation is in this weather. Ling Wei said hesitantly, Xinglong Town has been contacted by Zhang Jun Standing Committee, is it appropriate for us to go? Ning Zhiyuan replied, take care of him, go and see.

When he got in the car, he whispered to Zhao Dong, how about going back to education? Zhao Dong nodded and replied hesitantly, it's just that my father was also the director of education before, is it appropriate for me to go now? He didn't respond, just got into the car, smiled and waved goodbye.

Soon came to Xinglong Town, from Yuexing Road around the town road to the door of the Huawu Human Production Company. Li Xiangqian took Yang Xiaoping to stand at the gate of the factory to greet him, and Luo Yang, general manager of Huawu Renjian Yuezhou Company, hurried to arrive when the car arrived.

Ning Zhiyuan shook hands one by one, greeted everyone with a smile, and then walked to the workshop together. Machines roar in the factory, and workers are nervously feeding the well-groomed herbs into the conveyor belt. Luo Yang said while walking that the quality of mountain herbs is particularly good this year, and it is snowing today, the juice is fuller, and the concentration of flavor has increased greatly, and it is expected that the output will increase significantly this year. Ning Zhiyuan asked, are there any problems that need to be solved? Luo Yang replied that there is a shortage of harvesters, and the people here usually do not come out to work until the end of February.

Ning Zhiyuan was sure, turned to Li Xiangqian and said, then let's go to Yeshitan Village to have a look. After speaking, everyone turned around and walked out of the factory area and rushed to the mountain herb planting base by car.

It's really strange, the rest of the place is white, but the village of Wild Rock Beach is the same as usual, as long as the place where the mountain herb grows is still green, the snowflakes fall down, and disappear after naturally melting. He hurriedly took out his mobile phone to take a picture and sent it to Yu Yan, this kid likes snow scenes too much.

In the fields, I saw a few farmers harvesting. Ning Zhiyuan asked, such a few people harvesting, can't meet the needs of production and processing. Luo Yang said, yes, only one of the five processing machines is running. Ning Zhiyuan said, how can this be done, Huawu is now the number one taxpayer in the county! Forward, you immediately mobilize the people to come out to work, and you must ensure the supply of raw materials. Li Xiangqian nodded and said, I will arrange it later, Xiaoping will personally grasp it, and organize the people at home in various villages to work. Luo Yang rubbed his hands excitedly and said, this is good! Ha ha!

On the way back, Ning Zhiyuan asked softly, is Zhang Jun coming down today? Li Xiangqian shook his head and said, I called him early in the morning and said that I would accompany Secretary Jiang He to a meeting today, and let us deal with the impact of the snow situation by ourselves. Ning Zhiyuan didn't speak, and walked forward by himself.

It was already noon, and Li Xiangqian arranged to eat in the cafeteria. Ning Zhiyuan shook his head and said, Ling Wei, go ahead, Principal Xue's family is back, and I will go to Xinglong Primary School to sit down.

He wrapped himself in a down jacket and came to Xinglong Primary School alone. Walking to the gate of the school, the janitor shouted enthusiastically, Secretary Ning, I haven't seen you for a long time. He handed over a cigarette and asked with a smile, Is Principal Xue at home? The janitor took the cigarette and said with a smile, "Yes, yes." He waved his hand and walked straight towards the dormitory.

Knocking on the door, a tall, slender woman stood by the door. He was stunned for a moment, and shouted in a trembling voice, Xue Mei! Xue Mei immediately turned around and walked inside, shouting as she went, Mom, your old leader is here. After speaking, he walked into the bedroom and slammed the door shut.

Yang Shuang came out of the kitchen in an apron, saw Ning Zhiyuan standing at the door, and shouted in surprise, Ah, it's Secretary Ning, please come in, Lao Xue, come out, Zhiyuan is here! Xue Renxi walked out of the study quickly. Ning Zhiyuan shouted, Uncle Xue. Xue Bomo was overjoyed, pulled him to sit on the sofa, and hurriedly made tea.

Ning Zhiyuan said, Uncle Xue, today I came to Xinglong to take a look at the snow situation, and by the way, I came to see your second elder. After speaking, he glanced at the guest bedroom and calmly withdrew his gaze. In fact, the moment he saw Xue Mei, he was stunned, since graduating from the normal school, today is the first time to see her, that delicate appearance suddenly stabbed his heart painfully, and his heart was beating violently.

In the bedroom, Xue Mei stood by the window and watched the snow, her eyes full of tears. This damn thing suddenly appeared in front of me, and I was startled, and I thought it was in a dream! Seventeen years! The heart was suddenly full of grievances and sadness.

Xue Bomo handed over the teacup and said happily, Zhiyuan, it's been almost four years since this parting, I heard that you are a member of the Standing Committee, we are all happy for you! Ning Zhiyuan replied with a smile, yes, it's been a few years, and when I went back to Xinglong Town a few years ago, I said that you weren't there. Xue Bomo glanced at the guest bedroom door and pointed with his finger, motioning for him to come over.

Ning Zhiyuan hesitated for a moment before getting up and walking over and knocking on the door. When there was a sound from inside, I twisted the door and walked in.

He approached gently, stood side by side by the window, and muttered for a while, I'm sorry! Xue Mei didn't move, tears rolling down her face. In an instant, time seemed to stop, and the snow fluttered outside the window.

For a long time, his feet were a little sore, sitting on the bed, silently looking at her slender figure, straight legs, slender waist, black waterfall like shawl hair, the past of seventeen years ago instantly came to his heart.

Xue Mei turned around slowly, staring at his face with wide eyes. He muttered repeatedly, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... Xue Mei smiled bitterly, let the tears fall, and said softly, I don't blame you, it's my bad life. His eyes were red, and he whispered, Don't say that, I feel very uncomfortable. Xue Mei turned around again and continued to look out the window, her shoulders twitching.

He wanted to step forward and hug Yiren tightly, he wanted to go back to the past, and he wanted to tell him how much he had been thinking about it all these years. Then, the reality does not allow it, Xue Mei is already a wife and sister, she has already married a family, and everything is in the past and cannot be traced.

Xue Mei was tired of standing, turned around and sat on the bed next to him, and whispered, you are very good now, I am also very pleased, realize your ideals well. He nodded silently and asked, are you okay over there? She replied, "Very well, I'm getting married soon, school colleague, he's married for the second time." He felt even more sad, turned his head to look at the desk, and muttered, That's good.

Xue Mei suddenly ran her hand over his face, stared into his eyes, and asked for a while, do you really love me? He nodded vigorously. She suddenly laughed, so miserable, like a pear blossom in the snow.

The dishes had already been set on the table, and the old couple sat on the sofa, and when they saw the two of them coming out, they quickly got up and sat down. Xue Mei said happily, Mom and Dad, Zhiyuan will be your brother in the future, so you will have more sons. The old couple couldn't stop nodding their heads, choked up and said, okay, okay.

Ning Zhiyuan held the rice bowl, and Xue Mei served dishes for him from time to time, and the atmosphere was happy. The old couple hadn't seen Xue Mei as happy as they were today for many years, and they were very relieved.

After eating, Ning Zhiyuan said, Uncle Xue, I'll play a few games of chess with you. Xue Bomo was as happy as a child, and said again and again, it's good...... Xue Mei hurriedly brought chess from the study, set up the chessboard on the coffee table for them, and then sat next to it to watch, busy refilling the tea from time to time.

Yang Shuang finished her cooking work, leaned against the door frame, and quietly watched her husband and wife gather together, what a warm scene! She couldn't stop her tears from pouring out, if she hadn't resolutely opposed it at the beginning, how happy she would have been!

Ning Zhiyuan was playing chess seriously, while peeking at Xue Mei, and sometimes when his eyes just met, he smiled. Xue Mei smiled lightly and pursed her lips.

The time soon came to half past four in the afternoon, and Ning Zhiyuan said apologetically, Uncle Xue, I have to go back, everyone is still waiting for me in the town. Xue Bomo put down the chess pieces and said happily, Okay. Xue Mei stood up with a smile, her eyes full of reluctance. Yang Shuang carried a plastic bag and walked over and said, Zhiyuan, this is some liver yellow grass, often soaked in water to drink, it has the effect of protecting the liver, you often drink for entertainment, pay attention to your body. He took it with a smile and said gratefully, thank you, Auntie.

When he delivered it to the door, he turned around and said, Uncle and aunt, send it here, you can call if you have something. Xue Bomo replied, okay, pay attention to safety. Xue Mei waved her hand and said with a smile, Zhiyuan, take care! He said yes and began to go downstairs. Yang Shuang pushed Xue Mei from behind and signaled to send it off.

Xue Mei bit her lip and followed him. The two walked side by side on the playground, like they had a first date many years ago. He didn't dare to ask her if she was in love when she was about to get married, let alone mention the happy memories of walking together on the besieged road back then.

Walking to the school gate, he stopped and said, Xue Mei, everything is predestined, you have to be good in the future, my WeChat account is my mobile phone number, remember to contact. Xue Mei nodded, watching him turn around in three steps, until the familiar and unfamiliar figure finally disappeared.

The snow was flying, and she stood still, tears pouring out again.
