Chapter 1700: Mother's Care
As the night darkens, the surrounding villages are lit up with sporadic lights.
Xia Jian drove his black Daben and walked unhurriedly on the provincial highway leading to Pingdu. Over the years, local changes have been very noticeable. Although this road was also a provincial road in the past, it was full of potholes, which meant that it was in disrepair.
But now it's very different, it's all cement hardening. At the very least, the car doesn't feel bumpy when it runs. There was elegant and beautiful music in the car, and Xia Jian hummed a familiar song along with the beautiful melody of the music.
Isn't there a saying that people are in good spirits when they are happy, Xia Jian at this moment, his mood should be extremely beautiful. It seems that the good or bad mood of men is sometimes in the hands of women.
Pingdu City arrived soon, and in order not to attract the attention of others, Xia Jian found an underground parking garage and parked his car, and then walked to Qin Xiaomin's house.
Qin Xiaomin did not live in the house assigned to her in the city, but rented another building by herself outside. The community she lives in is a newly developed new community, and the facilities inside are quite trendy, and the environment is too good to say. In the whole flat city, it should be regarded as first-class property management.
Xia Jian seems to have heard someone say that the boss of this Fuchunju is Hu Huiru. From this point of view, this Hu Huiru is really not simple, and she is not a person who does big business.
Xia Jian thought about this in his heart, and he didn't know if he felt that he had arrived downstairs in Qin Xiaomin. He thought for a while, Qin Xiaomin should live on the third floor, so he ran up quickly.
As soon as he raised his hand and knocked on the door, the door had already opened, and he saw Qin Xiaomin looking at him with a smile. Xia Jian stepped in and asked a little surprised, "How did you know I was coming?" “
"Of course I know, this is called a little bit of understanding" Qin Xiaomin smiled happily and found Xia Jian a new pair of men's slippers. It can be seen from this incident that Qin Xiaomin should not have a man here often, because he didn't even have his slippers ready.
Xia Jian changed into slippers and walked into the living room, only then did he realize that as soon as he came across the road, Qin Xiaomin could see him as soon as he looked up, no wonder she opened the door in such a timely manner.
"How? Is it okay to remove the bandage on my head? Xia Jian glanced at Qin Xiaomin and asked with some concern.
Qin Xiaomin was busy pouring water for Xia Jian, and said with a smile: "It's okay, but you still have to wear a hat when you go out, so that the wound will be better."
"Hmmm! You should pay attention to protection, if you can't do it, you will work two days at night, anyway, the body is the first" Xia Jian said, taking the boiling water that Qin Xiaomin poured for him.
Isn't there a saying that the friendship of gentlemen is as light as water, this Qin Xiaomin saw that Xia Jian was coming, and he didn't bother to make tea for him, or make coffee, all he could give him was a cup of boiled water.
Qin Xiaomin sat down next to Xia Jian gently, she sighed and said, "As soon as mom leaves, I have nothing here, and all I can drink for you is this boiled water."
"It's okay! That's good. If you drink tea or coffee at night, it will affect your sleep, which is not good," Xia Jian said, and secretly glanced at Qin Xiaomin.
I found that she was quite normal except for her face being a little pale, and if you didn't look closely, you couldn't see the adhesive tape on her head at all.
Qin Xiaomin found that Xia Jian was secretly looking at her, and she couldn't help but blush and said, "Don't look at it, I really don't have anything to do." The investigation in Binh Duong Town has reached the last minute, and if I go to work a few days later, it will be really hard to say."
"Humph! The above has already verbally informed Secretary Lu that the project will be temporarily stopped," Xia Jian said a little angrily.
Qin Xiaomin smiled and said, "I heard, this is what Secretary Guo of the Municipal Party Committee meant."
"What then? Could it be that the research on this project really stops? Xia Jian asked a little anxiously.
Qin Xiaomin shook his head and said, "No, anyway, I didn't receive any notice." As soon as I get to work tomorrow, I will immediately take people to Shangxiagou Village and strive to complete the rest of the work in one day."
"Don't wait, you've just come out of the hospital, I'm afraid you can't run so far now! Besides, there are so many of your members, I'm afraid you won't be able to organize it for a while," Xia Jian whispered to Qin Xiaomin.
Qin Xiaomin snorted coldly and said, "The more people come out to stop it, the more I have to do it." Just now, I have made phone calls with the two directors of the Agriculture Bureau and the Tourism Bureau, and they have agreed with my approach. The two of them will gather privately, and tomorrow morning we will set off with Mayor Chen on our backs, and by the time he knows, the matter will be settled."
"Alright! Now that you've decided, I don't have to say anything. Early tomorrow morning, I will take Mayor Tong and Wei Xiaoming to Shangxiagou Village in advance" Xia Jian was a little embarrassed when he said this. Because of the previous investigation, Xia Jian didn't participate at all in order to avoid Qin Xiaomin.
Qin Xiaomin glanced at Xia Jian and said, "This is whatever you want, whether you love it or not"
"What? Still angry with me? No, even if you don't agree this time, I'll rush over" Xia Jian said, smiling at Qin Xiaomin.
Qin Xiaomin's face suddenly changed and asked, "Xia Jian!" You are a dignified man, how can you say such things in front of my mother, how can you save my face? “
"I didn't say anything! It's just that what I want to say is, after you left me one day, did you go out with a man, and your relationship seems to be very good? "It is in everyone's nature to be jealous, women will eat it, and men will eat it too. Xia Jian finally spit out the unhappiness in his heart.
Qin Xiaomin pointed at Xia Jian, and said with a smile: "Okay, you Xia Jian, you are still following me in the dark, I really thought you were a righteous gentleman, but in fact, it is not."
"Not tracking, but just happening. I went back to pick up the car, but I didn't expect to be hit by me. But what I don't understand is that you left me, and when you were with someone else when you were done, you were angry with me instead, what is the reason for this? Xia Jian looked innocent.
Qin Xiaomin couldn't help laughing, she pretended to be angry and pushed Xia Jian and scolded: "Bastard! Which man is my cousin, how can you be suspicious? I found out that the mayor of your town, Tong Town, is very interesting to you? ”
This is called attacking instead of defending, Qin Xiaomin is really powerful, and he threw the question to Xia Jian's side in two sentences. In this way, Xia Jiancheng was asked, and he could only answer honestly.
"Nonsense! We have a colleague relationship, but we have been together for a long time, and we are just a little familiar" Xia Jian replied truthfully, he really didn't think anything wrong about Tong Jie.
Qin Xiaomin stared at Xia Jian with his eyes and asked, "Is it?" Is that really the case? Then I'll believe you for the time being, but what exactly did you say in front of my mother, you must answer me truthfully tonight, otherwise don't blame this girl for being unkind."
Xia Jian let out a long breath, and was about to say what he said to Qin Xiaomin's mother Li Lan when he went to Qin Xiaomin's house last time, and then tell Qin Xiaomin again.
Suddenly, there was a sound of the keyhole turning in the doorway. Qin Xiaomin's face suddenly changed greatly, and Xia Jian was also shocked, he thought that Qin Xiaomin's house was a thief here.
The door opened with a bang, and the person who walked in was not a thief, but Li Lan, who was carrying a small bag in her hand. Qin Xiaomin was shocked, she stammered a little and asked, "Mom!" Why did you come back at this time? ”
Li Lan saw that her daughter was staying with Xia Jian, her face also changed, and she said coldly: "What do you mean, shouldn't I come back?" ”
"It's not Mom! I mean, why don't you say hello when you come back, I'll pick you up, you're an old man on this big night, it's too uneasy for me" Qin Xiaomin said a little embarrassed, and hurriedly greeted him.
On such an occasion, Xia Jian also felt very embarrassed, he hurriedly stood up and said, "Auntie is back?" ”
"Oh! Sit down! I'm a little tired from the car, I'll go back to the room to rest" Li Lan smiled faintly at Xia Jian and walked quickly into her bedroom. Seeing that she didn't even change her slippers, she looked really angry.
Qin Xiaomin glanced at Xia Jian a little uninterestingly, lowered his voice and said, "As soon as this person is old, he is like a child, he has to be coaxed, I really can't stand it!" ”
"What did you say Xiaomin? You can't stand it? Then I'll go back overnight! Li Lan opened the bedroom door with a bang, and said angrily.
Qin Xiaomin hurriedly ran over, took Li Lan's hand and said, "Mom! Don't be like this, okay, I just said it casually, why are you still eavesdropping on me? ”
"Don't do bad things for people, and don't be shocked when you knock on the door in the middle of the night. What are you afraid of hearing about it? You've let me down so much. You want to know? Your current identity is the deputy mayor of Pingdu" Li Lan said this, and she couldn't help but glance at Xia Jian.
This glance made Xia Jianma understand what Li Lan meant, and he hurriedly smiled and said to Li Lan: "Auntie! I'll talk to Mayor Qin about some work, and now that the talk is over, then you can rest early, I should go"
"Good! Then there you go! Don't send it" Li Lan's attitude was very indifferent, which made Xia Jian very embarrassed.
finally walked out of Qin Xiaomin's house, Xia Jian really felt a sense of relief. The huge change in Li Lan's attitude towards him made Xia Jian deeply realize that a mother doesn't even pay attention to her life-saving benefactor in order to take care of her daughter. It does take a lot of courage.
Xia Jian walked to the underground garage and found his car, he just opened the door and got in. received a text message from Qin Xiaomin, "I'm sorry Xia Jian, I didn't expect my mother to come back." She's probably outside, so she's got you involved. I hope you understand."
"It's okay! It's your mom who loves you too much. Rest early! See you tomorrow" Xia Jian sent a text message back to Qin Xiaomin, and drove back to Pingyang Town quickly.
