Chapter Seventy-Three: Hot Spring Plumbing
A few people lined up, soaking their feet in the sun under the shed. The shed has been repaired with great care, the top is glass, there are movable curtains on all sides, and it can bask in the sun, and it can shelter from the wind and rain, and it does not delay to see the scenery, and a few people drink hot tea and soak their feet, which is very comfortable.
Yan Qing stretched comfortably and said, "Such a good place, Xiaoqiu didn't say that she would take us to play before." ”
Yu Chuan soaked his feet, felt the warmth of the water, and said with a smile: "She herself has been away from home all year round, and today she asked Brother Er to buy a pot, I guess I thought it was still in a primitive state." ”
Yan Qing shrugged and said, "It's also ha, forget it, spare her." When is she leaving? ”
Qu Yingying said with a smile: "I don't think I'll leave for the time being, the road in this place is not easy to walk, otherwise it's not bad to bring the children to play." ”
Yan Qing looked at Qu Yingying, who was unimpressed, and said in surprise: "Can't it, Zhang Da Translator is unemployed?" ”
Yu Chuan smiled and said: "People don't call it unemployment, that's called retirement." ”
Yan Qing rolled her eyes and said, "What kind of nerves, I retired before I got married, eh, no, is there something I don't know?" ”
Yu Chuan pretended to be mysterious and said: "When we eat later, the mystery will be revealed." ”
Qu Yingying looked at Yu Chuan, pinched her head and tail and asked, "Really?" ”
Yu Chuan smiled and nodded, the smile on Qu Yingying's face instantly brightened, Yan Qing tilted her head and looked at these two people playing dumb riddles, and said very dissatisfied: "If you don't like this, I'll be angry if I don't say anything else." ”
Yu Chuan glanced at Yan Qing: "I said that you would be able to see it at night, and I was still angry." ”
Yan Qing gossiped for a while: "Are you saying that Zhang Shuqiu has found a boyfriend, and this person is still in Yundong, and will have dinner with us in the evening?" ”
Yu Chuan pursed his lips and nodded with a smile, Yan Qing immediately stood up and said loudly in the barrel: "My water is cold, don't soak it, it's dark if you soak it again, let's go back." ”
Yu Chuan and Qu Yingying were provoked by Yan Qing and laughed, and Wang Erram turned his head sideways and asked, "What's wrong?" Add some hot water and soak for a while, it won't get dark so quickly, and it will only take twenty minutes to walk back here. ”
Yan Qing shook her head and said, "Don't soak it, don't soak it, hurry up, go back." ”
Yu Chuan shook his head and said: "You just look at the monkey, and it's not so fast, and you usually don't come back until six or seven o'clock." ”
Yan Qing said dissatisfiedly: "I don't report such a big thing, I want to go and interrogate Zhang Shuqiu with his ears twisted first." ”
Several people were giggling, watching Yan Qing stand in the barrel like a child, and two more people walked in the corridor. Ning Ye was the first to see Wang Ertam, who was sitting on the outermost side, and greeted with a smile: "Shuyan, enjoy it so much!" ”
Wang Shuyan looked at the two people who walked in and said with a smile: "I have received an envoy to entertain the friends who came today, why are you here now?" ”
Ning Ye smiled: "Si Chao and I also received the same messenger to come and pick you up." ”
Qu Yingying and Yu Chuan turned their heads to take a look, but found that it was Ning Ye and Nie Sichao who walked in one after the other, although the two of them did not wear ties, they were both dressed in formal clothes, but the trouser legs were all stained with mud, not to mention the shoes. Yu Chuan greeted with a smile: "Look at the mud of the two of you, you are going to the construction site again?" It's still early, so why don't you both sit down, soak your feet, and rest for a while before you go back. ”
Ning Ye turned his head to look at Nie Sichao, and seeing that he didn't have any opinions, he said with a smile: "Okay, then let's get wet too, take a soak, Yu Chuan, these new friends, can you introduce them?" ”
Cheng Ke, who was sitting next to Wang Ertam, beckoned and greeted, "Ning Ye, hello, meet again." ”
Ning Ye took two steps forward and nodded: "Teacher Cheng is good, Yingying is good!" ”
Qu Yingying raised her right hand and said, "Hello, this is Yan Qing, lawyer Yan, our company's legal counsel." ”
Yu Chuan answered: "It's also my high school classmate with Xiaoqiu. ”
Ning Ye greeted Yan Qing with a smile on her face, Yan Qing sat back in the chair early, looked at Ning Ye very suspiciously, how to see it, how did it feel familiar, frowned and said, "Hello!" ”
Yu Chuan stretched out his left hand again and introduced: "These two are my sister and brother-in-law, this is Xiaoqiu's boyfriend, Ning Ye." ”
Ning Ye walked over and shook hands with Lu Weicheng, and took care of Yu Qing, Yan Qing gently chanted Ning Ye's name in her mouth, and suddenly turned her head to Chuandao: "Is he the one from our school, that ......?"
Yu Chuan nodded, Yan Qing felt even more incredible, and said softly: "Yes, Zhang Shuqiu, this secrecy work has been done ......."
Yu Chuan knew that Yan Qing had misunderstood, shook his head and smiled: "It's not what you think, I can't say a sentence or two, I'll talk about it later." ”
Uncle Wang came in with a basin and beckoned: "Sichao, it's rare for you to come, sit down and bubble." ”
Nie Sichao smiled: "Thank you, third uncle, I'm a little thirsty, please make two cups of tea." Watching the third uncle go out, he shouted at Ning Ye, who had already walked to the innermost: "County Magistrate Ning, the water is here." ”
When Yan Qing heard this title, she felt even more dizzy, and hurriedly asked Yu Chuan, "What's the situation?" ”
Yu Chuan smiled: "In this case, you should be quiet and talk about it later." ”
Ning Ye and Nie Sichao both got up early in the morning, had a day's meeting, dismissed the meeting in the afternoon, sent two truckloads of supplies to the construction site, and went to understand the situation, walked a long way, tired and tired, the hot water with the fragrance of mugwort soaked, the two of them instantly felt extremely comfortable, took a long breath, looked at each other and laughed.
Ning Ye picked up the cup of fragrant ice willow white, put it on his nose and sniffed it deeply, and said to Nie Sichao with a smile: "Sichao, I have worked hard for you today, take a sip of tea to relieve fatigue, this fragrance of ice willow white is really refreshing......"
Nie Sichao didn't know what Ning Ye had experienced today, those people in the conference room all had their own thoughts, and they all took an ambiguous wait-and-see attitude towards the new county magistrate, and a lot of problems were pushed in front of Ning Ye.
Ning Ye sat there, completely different from his usual appearance when he was in the Wang family's mansion, although his face was peaceful, the momentum of not being angry and arrogant in his eyes was clear. Nie Sichao sighed in his heart, such a child of a family has never seen anything in the world, and looked at those self-righteous people in the conference room, the more he looked at it, the more he looked like a clown......
Nie Sichao smiled: "I'm just running errands, you are really hard, I'll tell you about the people in the conference room today." ”
When Ning Ye heard this, his heart was relieved, and he raised his teacup to Nie Sichao: "Replace wine with tea, thank you!" ”
Wang Ertam listened to the conversation between the two, and knew that a lot of things had happened these days, since Nie Sichao was willing to speak, there must be something to be moved by Ning Ye, and said with a smile: "You just went to the construction site?" How's the progress? ”
Ning Ye turned his head, with a happy look on his face, and he didn't say much, just nodded. Wang Ertam knew at a glance that there was good news, and he didn't ask anymore, but smiled and said: "I have a few bottles of good wine there, and I can't buy any good wine in the county. ”
Ning Ye was stunned, looked back at Nie Sichao, and knew that the boxes of Moutai and good cigarettes he dragged over today, I was afraid that they were also private sponsors, and said with a smile: "I have to toast the two of you in the evening, I just came, and there are indeed many places that are not thoughtful, but fortunately you are taking care of them." ”
Wang Ertam knew at a glance that this was Nie Sichao's doing, and waved his hand indifferently and said, "A little thing is not enough to worry about." Sichao is careful and delicate, you just have to rest assured. Besides, no matter what you do, you can't do it alone. ”
This trip also made Ning Ye deeply touched, although the original job was also complicated, but he had long been used to dealing with such a crowd, so he seemed to be at ease. But this time, I came into contact with people and things that were different from before, but I couldn't help but think about them for a while.
Nie Sichao, who has always been silent, suddenly said: "Grassroots work is like this, it's good to get used to it, take your time." ”
Over there, Lu Weicheng said loudly: "Although it's good to soak your feet, you can't soak them for a long time, if it's about the same, let's go back." ”
Nie Sichao called Uncle Wang to come in, and took out the money to settle the bill, but Uncle Wang hurriedly waved his hand and said: "They are all villagers in the township, but I can't help it!" ”
Wang Ertam took out 300 yuan from Nie Sichao's hand and patted it on the third uncle's hand: "Third uncle, what you do is this business, if you don't accept this money, we won't dare to come in the future, you are comfortable and convenient, and we will come back." ”
Nie Sichao glanced at Wang Ertam, Wang Ertam smiled and said: "If you don't come, I can only take credit for this account, I only have a hundred yuan in cash, and I still want to come from my aunt to buy a pot." ”
Ning Ye looked at Nie Sichao with a blank expression, looked at Wang Ertong with a smile, and couldn't help laughing.
The group packed up and got into the car, and Ning Ye sat Cheng Ke, Qu Yingying, Yu Chuan and Yan Qing in the car. Qu Yingying said with a smile: "County Magistrate Ning, are you still suitable for this job now?" It's a big difference from your old work environment. ”
Ning Ye smiled: "It's all old acquaintances, you call it that, it's a bit of an outtaste!" ”
Yan Qing suddenly answered: "I want to call Senior Brother, Senior Brother, do you still remember me?" ”
Ning Ye said with a smile: "Remember, why don't you remember, the famous provincial outstanding student cadre of the High School Affiliated to Jiang University, the champion of the speech competition, and being a lawyer is a condescending talent!" ”
Yan Qing's eyes lit up: "Wow, senior brother, your memory is really amazing, how many years have you been here." Eh, didn't you say you were abroad? Why did you suddenly come to this place? You've turned a big way. ”
Ning Ye smiled and said, "I have already returned to China." ”
Yan Qing shook her head and said, "It can be seen that the rumors are not credible......"
In the other car, Lu Weicheng said to Nie Sichao: "I think this Ning County Magistrate is magnificent, he doesn't look like he was born in grassroots work, right?" ”
Wang Ertam nodded and said with a smile: "Director Lu has good eyesight, he just came to Yundong, and he used to work in ministries and commissions. ”
Lu Weicheng immediately knew in his heart, and he didn't ask any more. Not long after the car drove, the Wang family's mansion appeared in front of him, and Lu Weicheng sighed: "Your Wang family's mansion is not simple, it should have a history of hundreds of years, right?" ”
Wang Ertam nodded and smiled: "This is the ancestral house of the Wang family, there are some twists and turns in the middle, and later Xiaoqiu spent a lot of effort to repair it." ”
