Gu Ting stared at the man coldly, his expression unchanged.

But the hands that grabbed the board car were bulging at the moment.

Xia Youzhi on the other end felt that the car was a lot lighter, and knew that someone should have helped.

She went up the slope in one go, and when she reached the flat ground, she stopped the cart.

When she looked back and saw the helper, she was surprised.

"Deputy Director Liao?"

Unexpectedly, it was Deputy Director Liao who helped.

I have to say that this factory director is really down-to-earth.

Deputy Director Liao nodded at Xia Youzhi, and glanced at Gu Tingshen as if unintentionally.

When he touched Gu Ting's left leg that was deeply wrapped in gauze, worry flashed in his eyes.

"What are you?"

Deputy Director Liao stabilized his mind.

"My uncle has a leg injury, and we just got back from the health clinic." Xia Youzhi said with a smile.

"Hurt?" Deputy Director Liao was stunned for a moment, "What's hurt?" ”

Seeing Xia Youzhi stunned for a moment, Deputy Director Liao noticed that his tone was a little anxious.

He tried to raise a smile, "Hehe, this leg injury can be big or small. ”

Xia Youzhi nodded.

She was quite surprised by Deputy Director Liao's initiative to talk.

How did she feel that Deputy Director Liao cared so much about Gu Tingshen? This is somewhat inconsistent with his personality.

After all, after these few contacts, she knows more or less about Deputy Director Liao's character, even if she helps, it is estimated that she will help the leader and leave.

But now......

Seeing that Xia Youzhi didn't answer, Deputy Factory Director Liao tried to suppress the anxiety in his heart, "So what's going on now?" ”。

A trace of worry in that tone was still captured by Xia Youzhi.

She was about to speak, but was interrupted.

"I can't die."

Gu Ting looked at Deputy Director Liao coldly.

Hearing Gu Tingshen's words, Xia Youzhi was even more surprised.

No matter how difficult Gu Tingshen usually is, he will not be so aggressive towards a stranger as he is now.

"Hehe, Deputy Director Liao, my uncle's personality is like this, don't mind. He was in fine condition, and the doctor said that there was nothing wrong, just go and change the dressing in the next few days. ”

Xia Youzhi hurriedly played the round, and glanced at Gu Tingshen.

I saw that as soon as her words fell, Gu Tingshen's face stretched longer.

It seems that these two people really know each other.

Hearing this, Deputy Director Liao was relieved.

"That's good, that's good...... How did that hurt? Deputy Director Liao continued to ask.

"It was accidentally scratched." Xia Youzhi smiled.

At present, she still knows about the two of them, so she doesn't plan to say more.

"To go or not to go? What are you doing here for a long time? ”

Gu Ting's face darkened, his lips pursed, and his tone was extremely impatient.

Xia Youzhi rolled his eyes in his heart.

Someone else helped you, what's wrong with a few words?

"Okay, let's go now." Xia Youzhi looked at Gu Tingshen with a smile, turned his head and said to Deputy Factory Director Liao sincerely, "Deputy Factory Director Liao, thank you, then we will go back first." ”

Deputy Director Liao wanted to speak and stopped, but when he saw Gu Tingshen's frosty face, he could only nod helplessly.

Xia Youzhi smiled, called Zhang Qingqing, and pulled up the armrest of the car to leave.

As soon as he started, a voice came from behind him.

"Natsu-chan."

Deputy Director Liao stopped Xia Youzhi.

Xia Youzhi looked back at him suspiciously.

"Do you have time in the afternoon? I want you to come to the factory. Deputy Director Liao said.

When he saw the gloom in Gu Tingshen's eyes, he quickly explained, "It's about introducing outside food, your braised pork knuckle is good, I want to ask you to come to the factory to talk about it." ”

When he said this, Deputy Director Liao was a little embarrassed.

I told them in the morning that there was no hope, and I made an appointment to talk to them in the afternoon.

It's a real slap in the face.

Xia Youzhi was slightly flustered, and then nodded with a smile, "Okay, what time is it in the afternoon?" ”

Deputy Director Liao frowned and pondered, "Four o'clock." ”

"Okay, I'll visit you then."

After speaking, he said goodbye to Deputy Director Liao.

When he got home, Xia Youzhi stopped the car and looked back to see Gu Ting's cold face.

"What's wrong with you?"

"You're going to the hardware factory?" Gu Ting asked expressionlessly.

Xia Youzhi nodded, "I've always wanted to cooperate with the hardware factory to introduce our lo-mei and button meat into their canteen, but Deputy Director Liao has not agreed to it before. ”

Xia Youzhi didn't plan to hide anything from him.

After listening to Xia Youzhi's words, Gu Tingshen just glanced at her deeply, and then didn't speak, and kicked his legs hard to get out of the car.

Zhang Qingqing wanted to help him, but he brushed him away.

"What's wrong with your Uncle Gu?"

Zhang Qingqing watched suspiciously, as Gu Tingshen limped into the house.

Xia Youzhi shook his head.

It is estimated that it is related to Deputy Director Liao, as for what the two of them have to celebrate, she really doesn't know.

"I was pulling a face all the way just now, but it was scary. Talking to the deputy factory director, with a black face, as if he owed him money, I was so scared that I didn't dare to breathe. Anyway, I tell you, you can't like him, or you'll be happy. ”

Zhang Qingqing patted her chest, she was a little frightened.

Xia Youzhi was so shocked that his mouth opened slightly, and his eyes were full of incredulity.

Zhang Qingqing: Is this stupid?

What like Gu Tingshen?

"I'm serious, don't look at me like a fool." Zhang Qingqing was a little unconvinced.

"Heh, you still know you're a fool?" Xia Youzhi mocked mercilessly.

Immediately, he walked into the house, ignoring the people shouting behind him.

She had to go upstairs to change her clothes, and she didn't have time to take care of Zhang Qingqing.

She had just pulled the cart, and her clothes were soaked with sweat.

When Xia Youzhi changed her clothes and went downstairs, Gu Tingshen's door was still closed, and she frowned.

When I walked to the door, I just raised my hand, hesitated again, and put it down.

Forget it, come back and ask him again.

When he arrived at the hardware factory, Xia Youzhi was sweating again.

The weather was very stuffy, and it would be much better in September.

This time, the uncle at the gate guard was very enthusiastic, and there was no obstacle at all.

"Deputy Director Liao has already asked people to notify the door guard, and after you arrive, I will let you go directly to the office to find him."

Xia Youzhi nodded and walked in.

The hardware factory is the one with the largest number of employees among the large factories in Mashan Town, and there are more employees than the mining factory.

And because it is located in the suburbs, the area is twice as large as the mine.

Xia Youyi asked people all the way, and finally found the office of Deputy Director Liao.

"Buckle Buckle ......"

Xia Youzhi knocked on the door.

The door is open, and the office is small and the decoration is very simple.

A simple desk flanked by two faded and worn reception sofas and a coffee table.

Deputy Director Liao is still wearing the simple black tunic he is today, but he has an extra pair of black-framed glasses on his face, like a serious old scholar.

At this moment, he was frowning at a report when he heard a knock on the door and looked up.

"Deputy Director Liao."

Xia Youzhi greeted with a smile.

"Xiao Xia is here, come in."

Deputy Director Liao's frowning brows eased, and he beckoned to Xia Youzhi with a smile, then took off his black-framed glasses and rubbed his eyes twice.

He stood up and walked to the side of the guest sofa, "You sit, Xiao Xia, I'll ask someone to make you a cup of tea." ”

With that, he walked out of the door and called out to the office next to him.

A moment later, a young man wearing metal-rimmed glasses walked in with two cups of tea.

"I'm sorry, Deputy Director Liao, I didn't notice that a guest came just now, so I didn't serve tea in time."

The young man's voice was apologetic.

"It's okay, let's get busy." Deputy Director Liao took two cups of tea and said softly.

The young man nodded apologetically and left.

Xia Youzhi saw this scene in his eyes.

This deputy director Liao looks serious, but in fact, he is still very good at talking.

"Xiao Xia, you drink tea, you have worked hard for a trip."

Deputy Director Liao handed Xia Youzhi a cup of tea, and tried to squeeze out a smile on his serious face.

"It's okay, Deputy Director Liao, this is all as it should be."

Xia Youzhi smiled lightly, took the teacup, and took a sip.

Seeing the smile that Deputy Director Liao was desperately squeezing out, she felt a little uncomfortable.

Although she guessed Deputy Director Liao's intentions, she was still very sad when she saw an old man with half-white hair and a serious face trying to squeeze out a flattering smile.

Xia Youzhi sighed slightly in his heart.

"Deputy Director Liao, you came to me to ask Gu Tingshen about it, right?"

Deputy Director Liao took the tea, he didn't expect Xia Youzhi to go straight to the point.

"Hehe, girl, you have a smart man." Deputy Director Liao smiled bitterly, "That's right, I mainly want to ask about him." ”

Deputy Director Liao is no longer hiding.

When he saw that Gu Tingshen was injured, he was indeed more anxious.

"How's he doing? Didn't hurt the bones, did you? ”

"No, it's just that the knife pierced the flesh, and the doctor said that if you take care of it for a while, there will be nothing to do, you can walk and jump."

Xia Youzhi repeated again, she knew that Deputy Director Liao was worried that she hadn't told him the truth before.

Hearing this, Deputy Director Liao breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, then he's ...... Do you also live in town? ”

Because according to the schedule, Xia Youzhi could not have arrived at the factory so quickly.

Xia Youzhi nodded, "My family rented a house in the town, and now Uncle Gu lives in my house." ”

"That's good, that's good."

Deputy Director Liao lowered his head and rubbed his hands.

That child is too stubborn, he carries everything by himself, and now that someone takes care of him, he is a lot more relieved.

The room fell silent all at once.

Deputy Director Liao picked up the teacup with some trembling and took a sip of tea.

For a moment, the atmosphere between the two was a little silent.

Long.

"You call him Uncle Gu?"

"Well, he is my father's generation, and in our country, they are all called according to seniority."

"Is he familiar with your family?"

"It's okay." Xia Youzhi replied lightly, "He lives in the mountain behind our house, which is relatively close to our house, so Grandpa Gu, uh...... That is, Uncle Gu and his father, who have a lot of contacts with our family, and Uncle Gu usually helps our family a lot. ”

Deputy Director Liao nodded, and his heart was finally not so blocked.

He was afraid that the child would be withdrawn and unwilling to socialize with others.

"Can you tell me more about him?"

Deputy Director Liao lowered his head, lowered his eyes, and his tone couldn't stop being sad.

"Deputy Director Liao, you may not know, I only returned to my parents in the past few months because of some things, so I don't know much about Uncle Gu."

Xia Youzhi put down the teacup and looked at Deputy Director Liao.

She really didn't know much, and she didn't want to tell others about him without Gu Tingshen's consent.

Deputy Director Liao was a little regretful, but he also saw that Xia Youzhi didn't want to say it.

"You're curious about my relationship with Tingshen, right?"
