In the western suburbs of Yunhu Town, a small river flows around the city. It turns a corner in the western suburbs and forms a small river bend. On the river bend, there are peach trees. It's a pity that it's late autumn now, and the peach trees are beginning to lose their leaves, which are mixed with the surrounding dead grass, and they are all withered. The autumn wind blows, cooling the body.
A not too wide cement bridge stretches from the north to the south. From one side of the bridge, you can go down to the river beach.
"Uncle, lollipops are not as delicious as milk candies"
"Little Youyou said with a lollipop in his mouth, mumbling.
Fan Hongyu laughed and tweaked the bridge of her straight nose: "You are a snack foodie, your teeth have fallen out, and you still want to eat toffee, be careful that you will touch all your other teeth."
Youyou grinned, but her top two front teeth were missing.
Children usually start losing their teeth around the age of seven, and Youyou will be seven in two months.
Today is Sunday, Fan Hongyu takes Youyou out for a stroll. This has almost become a habit of County Magistrate Fan. In his spare time, taking Youyou to play for an hour or two can very well relieve the tense brain nerves.
The city¡¯s People¡¯s Congress will be held soon, and all work in the county is very tense. During this time, Lu Jiu was busy talking to the top leaders of various districts, towns and major municipal units below. These cadres all have a common identity: Municipal People's Congress representatives.
When the city¡¯s People¡¯s Congress is convened, the leaders of each district and county delegation have one of the most important tasks, which is to effectively control the delegation, resolutely implement the instructions of the municipal party committee, and ensure that there are no unexpected situations at the People¡¯s Congress.
Lu Jiu is the leader of the Yunhu County delegation.
At the same time, Fan Hongyu is basically in charge of other work in the county. Lu Jiu almost gave up completely. At this moment, the situation has become clear. Lu Jiu has retained his identity as a deputy mayor candidate and is just waiting for the People's Congress to be convened. Anyone with a little knowledge of officialdom knows this. As long as Lu Jiu's name can appear on the ballot for deputy mayor candidate when the National People's Congress is convened, it is certain that he will be elected deputy mayor.
Fan Hongyu will soon become the Secretary of the Yunhu County Party Committee.
The only thing that makes it difficult for Yunhu County officials to figure out is who will serve as Yunhu County Magistrate. The jury is still out. At first, everyone thought it was a matter of course that Qi Zhenghong, the executive deputy county magistrate, took over as county magistrate. This would have been the order if the former County Magistrate Cui hadn't been suddenly transferred because of the "unexpected incident" caused by the Chaoyang Farm riot.
Lao Cui, who had been county magistrate for nearly four years, became county party secretary. Qi Zhenghong, who had been executive deputy county magistrate for many years, took over as county magistrate.
Everything falls into place.
But the news coming out of the city now is not optimistic. It seems that there is little mention that Qi Zhenghong will take over as Yunhu County Magistrate. This situation is the most worrying. If there is news about Qi Zhenghong. Even if it means that he is not suitable to be the county magistrate. It's better than no news from him at all. What does this mean? It shows that Qi Zhenghong has already been eliminated. Not favored by city leaders at all.
Qi Zhenghong was depressed.
But other comrades are not depressed, on the contrary, they are quite happy.
Qi Zhenghong has no chance, doesn¡¯t that mean that other deputy county magistrates have opportunities?
This is officialdom. It's just so bizarre and completely annoying. Another outstanding person. Even if you are trapped in officialdom, you can never expect to be relaxed and at ease.
Lu Ting is wearing a milky white long windbreaker, lined with a beige turtleneck thin sweater, straight black suit pants, and black high-heeled leather shoes. Although she is not very western, she has the temperament of an intellectual beauty. The shoulder-length hair is straight and shiny, dancing lightly in the autumn wind, adding a touch of elegance and charm.
However, it seems that at this moment, Teacher Lu¡¯s eyebrows are slightly furrowed, revealing traces of sadness and longing.
This is not the first time I have come to relax by the river in the suburbs. When Lu Ting proposed an outing for the first time, Fan Hongyu readily agreed. As soon as he arrived at the small river, Fan Hongyu almost immediately liked it. It was indeed a good place for an outing.
¡°Coming here today was still Lu Ting¡¯s suggestion.
It was a little bit beyond Fan Hongyu¡¯s expectation.
During holidays, Fan Hongyu takes Xiaoyouyou out to play. Usually Lu Ting will follow, but she doesn¡¯t make any decisions and listens to Fan Hongyu. Fan Hongyu goes wherever he says, and Lu Ting just follows silently. Lu Ting knew that there were already rumors in the school that she was Fan Hongyu's lover. Some rumors were even very unbearable, saying that she was able to "come back to life" because she seduced County Magistrate Fan. Otherwise, how could County Magistrate Fan be so kind to her.
There is a female teacher in a neighboring county who is not related to Fan Hongyu. Why did County Magistrate Fan go to such lengths to help her? He did not hesitate to greatly offend Moping County Party Committee Secretary Qiu Haoming, and even offended Mayor Guo Qinghua, and sent Qiu Lixing to prison. to prison. ?? Said that the Municipal Public Security Bureau intends to conduct a supplementary investigation into Qiu Lixing's crimes and plans to increase his sentence.
There could be no reason for this?
In particular, County Magistrate Fan often comes to the second primary school and takes Lu Ting and Youyou mother and daughter out shopping, just like a family of three. Nominally, County Magistrate Fan likes children very much, but who can believe such a reason? Who would believe it?
It¡¯s obvious that the drunkard¡¯s intention is not to drink, but he is just using the children as a shield.
It was Lu Ting who held the baby in her arms during the day and at night.
No matter on TV, in novels or folk tales, a handsome little widow like Lu Ting is a well-deserved den of right and wrong, a vixen who attracts bees and butterflies.
???????????????? In addition, Fan Hongyu is so young and alone, so why don¡¯t we just start fighting?
Didn¡¯t you see that this little slut is getting more and more juicy now?
It¡¯s moisturizing!
I don¡¯t know why these rumors came out, and they have become more and more popular recently.
Lu Ting didn¡¯t say anything. Every time Fan Hongyu invited her out, she would follow him. It's not that saying "If you are upright, you won't be afraid of slanted shadows" can relieve all Lu Ting's worries and worries. The key is that she understands Fan Hongyu's character. Fan Hongyu is by no means the kind of person who will give in easily, let alone baseless rumors.
Lu Ting was afraid that if she opened her mouth, the effect would be counterproductive.
It would be a bad thing if Fan Hongyu was furious and went to trace the source of the rumors.
"Compared with her colleagues in the second primary school who lived a calm life, Lu Ting has experienced too many ups and downs, has a far deeper understanding of the world than they do, and a more profound and detailed understanding of human nature. She believed that Fan Hongyu's toughness of character was far superior to hers. She could face these vulgar rumors calmly, let alone Fan Hongyu.
Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters.
This sentence couldn¡¯t be more appropriate when applied to Fan Hongyu.
"County Magistrate Fan, I heard that you are going to be the secretary soon?"
Lu Ting asked casually.
Fan Hongyu glanced at her, smiled and said, "Why are you paying attention to this?"
Lu Ting smiled lightly and said: "During this time, someone from the second primary school teacher was talking about this issue, and the principal also asked me about it in a roundabout way He said that if County Magistrate Fan becomes the secretary, our Yunhu will change. , it will be bigger, and more funds will be allocated to schools. In fact, I know that he wants the county to allocate more funds to schools."
This is normal.
It is our national quintessence to go to any lengths to find connections and connections, not to mention that now that there is a "county chief's lover" by his side, the principal will naturally find ways to use it to gain some practical benefits for the school. Of course, it would be even better if you could get some actual benefits for yourself.
Fan Hongyu said with a smile: "I will think about this issue again. It is the end of the year soon and finances are relatively tight. Next year, after the Spring Festival, I will consider further increasing the allocation for education. Education is the foundation of a prosperous country, and it is not a bad thing to care more."
Lu Ting smiled and nodded.
Fan Hongyu is different from ordinary leaders. If it were another leader, he would definitely discuss the matter and either agree to allocate funds to the second small group or pretend not to hear. Only Fan Hongyu always looks at problems from an overall perspective. With just a few words, a topic that might have caused endless reverie and embarrassment was raised to a strategic level for the entire county. People have nothing to say but admiration.
"Uncle, uncle, let's go to the river to play, and uncle will take pictures for me"
"Little Youyou took Fan Hongyu's hand and shouted.
Whenever I go out to play with my uncle, what Youyou likes most is taking pictures. In the past year, the photos Fan Hongyu took of her can fill two photo albums. The little girl is so beautiful.
"good."
Fan Hongyu smiled and nodded, picked up Youyou, and strode towards the river beach under the bridge.
Lu Ting followed silently, with another trace of sadness and sorrow flashing in her eyes.
This small river beach is the secret that Lu Ting hides deep in her heart. When she was still in school at Yunhu No. 1 Middle School, she and Xi Hao would often come here for outings. She and Xi Hao are schoolmates, and Xi Hao is two grades above her. Children in rural areas become sensible early, and when they are in high school, they begin to have vague love sprouts. At that time, Xi Hao was just like Fan Hongyu before him, tall, handsome and sunny. They are recognized as the most well-matched couple in the village. Originally, Lu Ting could have been admitted to a better university with her grades, but she finally chose Qihe Secondary Normal School. The reason is that students in normal schools are subsidized. At that time, the family situation of both families was not very good, so Xihao chose to go to military school, hoping to reduce the burden on his family.
On this small river beach, Lu ?? was left behind?The best memories of my youth.
However, no one knew that in November seven years ago, the army sent Lu Ting, who was pregnant with Liujia, a second-class military medal and a martyr certificate. From that moment on, Lu Ting's sky turned gray.
¡°Mom, mom, come on, come and take a picture of me and my uncle.¡±
Not far away, the carefree Youyou was riding on the cracked trunk of a peach tree, close to Fan Hongyu, constantly waving to Lu Ting, smiling like a flower.
Lu Ting smiled and raised her camera to freeze the moment.
Xihao, have you seen it?
Your daughter has found a man who loves her as much as her father.
Lu Ting said silently in her heart.
A gust of wind blew, and Lu Ting's eyes became moist.
Fan Hongyu asked: "Teacher Lu, are you worried?"
"Ah, nothe wind hit my eyes"
Lu Ting quickly turned her head and wiped her tears gently. When she looked back, she had put on a light smile, like a peach blossom in February, subtle and charming. (To be continued)
