It's another year of scorching heat, and social platforms are swiped by the wailing and screaming of people from all over the world. Experts on TV introduced the causes of El Niño and warned the audience to pay attention to the heat and beware of heat stroke.

When Zhang Rong would feed the palace, those gadgets buried themselves in the sand and didn't want to come out.

He wondered if it was too hot and he wanted to lower the temperature of the kennel.

Teacher Gao said: "The temperature has not changed, it is these palace guards who recognize people." After Miss Lu didn't come to feed her these days, her spirit was much worse. ”

Only then did Zhang Ronghui know that it turned out that the palace guard had always been fed by Lu Yinong.

"She's not afraid," he asked. Why haven't you fed it lately? ”

"She has gone back to her hometown," said Ms. Gao, "and she has to go back to her hometown for a while every summer." ”

Zhang Ronghui nodded and didn't say anything.

After staying for a while, feeding the palace some food, and replying a few messages, Zhang Ronghui was ready to leave. When he drove out of the villa, he happened to meet Lu Qing's car driving in, he lowered the glass, nodded with Lu Qing, and briefly took a look.

Glancing at the empty co-pilot seat opposite, he had some unspeakable strange emotions in his heart.

But it only lasted for a second or two, and it quickly dissipated.

At the end of July of that year, Zhang Ronghui privately received Zhang Peiming's task and flew to Jiangjin, the capital of K Province, to determine the relevant matters related to the investment in Chang'an Medical.

After the share investment subscription agreement is reached, Zhaojia will be completely swept out of all the cooperative relations of the Zhang family.

Zhang Ronghui didn't know how many days he had drunk wine, and almost every day he woke up it was dark, and when he fell asleep, it was just dawn. Iron beaters can't stand such a toss.

Finally, Zhang Peiming felt sorry for his son and called: "The details of the contract are almost discussed, let the secretary follow up tomorrow and put it on paper." You don't go drinking tonight, get some rest, and help run errands tomorrow. ”

"What legs to run?"

"Didn't Yinong spend the summer vacation in Tongnan? It's only three hours to drive there, from getting some company cigarettes, alcohol and other gifts to her grandmother's house, and by the way, to see her. ”

Zhang Rong will be extremely impatient: "Won't you let the secretary do this?" Why should I help Lu Qing run errands? ”

"It's to help me run errands," Zhang Peiming corrected him, "Yinong is my niece, and she is your sister like Min Ying, don't be prejudiced against her because of Lu Qing." ”

Zhang Ronghui lit a cigarette irritably: "Okay, I can't go?" Where is it? Tongnan? ”

There was a rainstorm that night, and the rain slapped on the window, Zhang Rong would rarely get a good night's sleep, and he would get up at three o'clock the next day.

The secretary brought the gift prepared in advance to the hotel, woke him up by ringing the bell, washed up, and then went down to the basement with him to put the gift in the new car.

Zhang Rong would sit in the driver's seat, let him finish tinkering in the back, turned on the navigation, located Tongnan, and finally set off at nearly 11 o'clock with the death rock all the way.

He tried a new car, drove fast, stepped on the accelerator to the end, and galloped all the way on the highway, much earlier than the navigation estimated, and arrived in Tongnan at half past one in the afternoon.

As a selling point for the ancient town of Jiangnan, Tongnan really lacks some dazzling features, except for being old enough and old, there are water and bridges, and other places are not up to standard in the eyes of Zhang Ronghui.

Obviously it is a scenic spot, but it is full of local residents, the old man in the sweatshirt sits at the door playing a fan, there is a chess game under the shade of the tree, the grandmother carries a basin of water and splashes the vegetable washing water on the street, and turns her head angrily to scold the little grandson who does not write summer vacation homework and nibbles on watermelon.

In comparison, tourists are scarce in Tongnan, and people with sunglasses and hats have an aura that is incompatible with the locals.

In addition to the characteristic water town pattern, this is actually not much different from the residential building communities that can be seen everywhere.

Zhang Rong would complain to himself: What kind of ancient town is this?

He drove to a small road and finally couldn't turn in, so he had to get out of the car and walk in with a black line with a hand full of gifts.

After walking about 100 steps, I saw the address name given by Zhang Peiming, and the photo studio.

He walked in.

The lighting in the room is not good, and there are two long shelves full of all kinds of strange costumes, cheongsam, dragon robe, Hanfu and even Aisha's princess dress, and there is a high wooden counter on the right side of the door.

There are mirrors on the counter, a mess of makeup, brushes, and accessories.

The little girl doing her homework at the counter looked up: "Welcome to ...... light"

They looked at each other.

She didn't go on.

Strictly speaking, this is the first time that Zhang Rong will take a serious look at her.

Lu Yinong is really not dressed beautifully, the T-shirt printed with the photo studio is washed until it turns white, her head is grabbed and tied behind her head casually, her messy hair is stretched out, there is no air conditioning in the house, her face is so hot that it is red, and there is a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.

Only those eyes, dark, and speechless, looked at him.

She is no longer the perfect image of following Lu Qing like a replica at all times, she looks unkempt at the moment, simple and natural to integrate into the current environment.

"How do you ......?" she asked.

Zhang Ronghui put the things in his hand on the ground: "My dad asked me to come, look at you." ”

Lu Yinong's mood was a little complicated, the last conversation she had with Lu Qing was not pleasant, Lu Qing said to let her think about it herself, and then there was no news.

She thought that Lu Qing was most likely going to come to Tongnan to talk to her. She was mentally prepared, and she also prepared a lot of words to refuse her aunt, but she didn't expect that the person who came was Zhang Ronghui.

Lu Yinong used the landline to call home, and soon his aunt came over with things from home.

Lu Yinong got up with his slippers and introduced: "This is my aunt." ”

She helped set up a small table in the corner and took two low stools. My aunt brought lunch, and the enamel tea jar was filled with vegetables and placed on the small table, two vegetables and one meat, fried vegetables, fried tomatoes and eggs, and a green pepper fried meat.

When he came, the rice was not stewed enough, so his aunt deliberately divided some more into a large bowl, and then called Zhang Rong to sit down and eat together.

Zhang Rong would see that they only had a little left, and they must not be able to eat enough, so he politely said that he had eaten it.

My aunt blamed herself a little: "You have to drive for three or four hours, and it's time to come to lunch." I didn't know if you came, so I added a green pepper and fried meat, which is what we eat every day. If you can't get used to eating, let Yinon take you to the restaurant next to it? ”

When she said so, Zhang Ronghui was embarrassed to refuse again, so she could only sit down.

There was not silence during the meal, my aunt was an honest woman, and she kept putting vegetables in Zhang Ronghui's bowl, and almost all the meat slices in the green pepper fried meat were piled up in his bowl.

Lu Yinong knew that he was very particular about his daily life, so he secretly glanced at him a few times with some anxiety, and saw that he had eaten it all without changing his face, so he slowly relieved himself.

The meal was quickly finished, and the aunt poured water for Zhang Ronghui, and Zhang Ronghui politely said, "What about the rest of the family?" ”

My aunt said: "Uncle Yinong got out of the car to see off the passengers at the city bus station, and he just left not long ago, and he didn't know what time he came back." Her cousin was staying at home with her grandmother, and she was taking a nap. ”

"You're late to dinner." He said.

"Business is like this, you have to stagger the peak, and only when there are no customers can you go back and cook a meal. Fortunately, during the summer vacation, I changed my hands again. ”

He raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Yinong quietly, and she sat down behind the counter again, her head down and playing with her fingers, not knowing what she was thinking.

My aunt felt that the atmosphere was a little cold, and said, "Thank you for bringing such things." I don't have anything good here, you finally came to Tongnan once, do you want to take a picture? ”

Zhang Rong will not like to take pictures.

A person like him, with such a complex identity background, is not suitable for being exposed under the nose of the outside world, and if it is fabricated by someone with ulterior motives, it will be very troublesome.

The elder spoke, and he couldn't refuse: "Yes, can you give me the washed negatives back?" I want to keep it for myself. ”

His aunt shouted to Lu Yinong to close the door of the store and took him to a covered bridge that was said to be an Internet celebrity attraction, the covered bridge is a wooden structure, and it has become very old after years of wind and rain. The local government just organized the repair and painting last year, and now it looks quite presentable.

My aunt took out an old Nikon, and Zhang Ronghui didn't pose anything, just to show the kindness of the elders, he put one hand in his pocket.

He has outstanding appearance and good temperament, and his aunt is smiling happily while patting him.

She stopped abruptly and said to Lu Yinong, who was waiting next to her, "Eh, do you want to take a picture together?" ”

Zhang Rong would come to Tongnan to visit, and her aunt mistakenly thought that they were close, so she casually mentioned it, but made her a little difficult to ride a tiger.

Lu Yinong looked at Zhang Ronghui, he looked at her calmly and calmly, and didn't say yes, nor did he say bad.

Are you waiting for her decision? Or is it a hint that she came to refuse?

Lu Yinong didn't understand it, and he was already pushed by his aunt from behind and stood up.

"Go, take a picture with your brother."

Lu Yinong staggered two steps forward, blushed in embarrassment, and hurriedly stood beside him.

They were staring at the same camera, listening to their aunt's command.

Lean in the middle and smile. Yes, Yi Nong, smile. ”

Then there was a "click", and my aunt pressed the camera's shooting button.

After taking the photo, my aunt went back to see the store, asked Lu Yinong to greet her cousin well, and walked around Tongnan to have a good time.

Lu Yinong took over this somewhat arduous and difficult task, and smiled slightly tense at Zhang Ronghui.

Fortunately, Zhang Ronghui didn't embarrass her, nor did he ask for anything, he followed her wherever she went.

They got off the covered bridge and went to the center of the ancient town.

Almost everyone on the road knew her, and Lu Yinong kept greeting others.

Asked who was behind her, she glanced at Zhang Ronghui's face with some embarrassment.

"Uh...... It's my cousin, and my cousin came to see me. ”

Zhang Rong would be silent, and did not refute this sentence again as before.
