Marry a female star at a bargain price

Chapter 142 141. The collision between the ideals and reality of township cadres
The next morning, Lin Xiao slept until he woke up naturally.

I just got up and received a call from my mother-in-law.

"Hey, Mom."

"Xiao Lin, are you up? If you are, come over and have breakfast!" Liu Liyun said kindly on the other end.

"Okay mom, I'll be right there!"

"Good good!"

Liu Liyun said, and suddenly lowered her voice and asked, "Xiao Lin, you and Xixi didn't have a fight, did you?"

Lin Xiao expected this question and said with a smile: "No, Mom, don't worry!"

Liu Liyun seemed unconvinced: "Then why did she suddenly come back last night? She didn't say anything when I asked her, and her face was red and she looked angry..."

Lin Xiao smiled, and suddenly he said, "We didn't quarrel, it was just... when it came to having children, I said one, and she said three, and then we couldn't reach an agreement, so she got angry and ran away!"

On the other end of the phone, Liu Liyun was caught off guard and was stunned.

Then he burst into laughter, the sound of which almost pierced Lin Xiao's eardrums through the phone.

After a long while, she said seriously, "Xiao Lin, I want to say something to you. You are too old-fashioned. Now that conditions allow, why don't you have more children? Back then, your father and I wanted to have children but couldn't. Your father has always wanted a son and has been regretting it for so many years. Since Xixi got married to you, he feels much more relieved to have you as his half son.

"Now that the policy has been relaxed, you can have as many children as you want. Xixi is willing to have more children, so why are you still being so reserved? It's not like the family can't afford to raise them. Even if they are born, you don't have to take care of them. You really... Do some ideological work on yourself and stop being such a conservative person, ah!"

Lin Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said very seriously: "Okay, okay, Mom, I will adjust my state of mind!"

hang up the phone.

Lin Xiao couldn't help laughing when he thought about the scene when Han Xixi heard her mother teasing her.

It didn't take long to finish washing.

Lin Xiao took a taxi to Han's house for breakfast and arrived home at exactly eight o'clock.

The family of three has already eaten.

Liu Liyun quickly brought him the bowl and chopsticks. Han Haijun was also smiling, but Han Xixi looked at him with a very resentful look, and his little chubby face was puffed up with anger.

Lin Xiao simply turned a blind eye.

He took the bowl and chopsticks handed to him by his mother-in-law and began to eat leisurely, which made Han Xixi even more angry. She stomped her feet twice and went back to her room.

Lin Xiao finished eating quickly.

Then he said to Liu Liyun: "Mom, I'll go and comfort her!"

Liu Liyun waved her hand, indicating that you two should solve your own problems.

Lin Xiao went to knock on the door, but got no response after knocking several times.

He pushed open the door directly and entered.

Xixi was leaning against the head of the bed with a quilt covering her, pretending to read a book.

I saw him come in from the corner of my eye, and he didn't move, but his ears were getting redder.

Lin Xiao stood at the head of the bed and then stopped moving.

Han Xixi covered his face with a book, and he could only see two legs standing at the head of the bed. He had no idea what this person was doing.

So after hesitating for a long time, she slowly moved the book down, and then her eyes met Lin Xiao's unexpectedly - that face was smiling very cunningly, and he did nothing but stared at her.

Han Xixi felt embarrassed when being stared at. Her face turned even redder and she quickly covered her face with the book again.

However, the next second, the book was taken away.

Lin Xiao sat down on the edge of the bed, supporting himself on the headboard with one hand and her bent knees under the quilt with the other hand. His nose was directly in front of her, almost touching the tip of her nose.

The sudden intimacy made Han Xixi's heart skip a beat.

"You...what are you doing?!" The tone was nervous, yet a little tough and angry.

"Do this!"

As Lin Xiao spoke, he moved his face forward another 3 centimeters and kissed her directly on the lips.

A dragonfly touches the water, making a crisp sound.

Then it popped open again.

Han Xixi was a little dazed, and belatedly pursed her lips. The anger she had expected did not happen at all.

Lin Xiao laughed: "Are you still angry with me?"

Han Xixi shook his head and tried very hard not to laugh.

"So...how many children do you plan to give me?"

"???"

When this was mentioned, Han Xixi finally remembered why he was angry.

He quickly sat down at the head of the bed, put his hands on his waist and asked seriously: "Why did you tell my mother that I want to give birth to three children for you?"

Lin Xiao tilted his head: "Don't you want to have so many children?"

Han Xixi said angrily: "Of course not!!"

Lin Xiao suddenly understood: "Oh...how many children do you want to have?"

"I want to give birth...Lin Xiao, who wants to give birth to your child!!!"

Han Xixi reacted belatedly and grabbed a pillow and threw it at Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao was hit so hard that he ran away with his head in his hands, but at the same time he was laughing at the success of his prank. The two of them were having so much fun that the slight awkwardness in the air had long evaporated.

Chased for a long time.

Lin Xiao suddenly acted quickly and grabbed her wrist. Then he quickly launched a counterattack, holding her slender waist and turning her on the spot, and pressed her into the soft quilt.

The passionate kiss pressed on again.

"Well……"

Han Xixi had no time to react. He could neither struggle nor hide.

In the end, she could only slowly fall into this domineering kiss, and her two slender arms wrapped around Lin Xiao's neck as if possessed.

I don't know how long we kissed.

Lin Xiao let her go, and all four of their eyes were blurry.

"Give me a baby?" he asked, panting.

"..."

Han Xixi's face flushed red, she was extremely embarrassed.

In the end, she gritted her teeth and nodded, not daring to look at him, and answered in a barely audible voice, "...raw."

……

My father-in-law and mother-in-law are still in the living room.

No matter how arrogant Lin Xiao was, his excessive actions could only stop at a kiss, and he didn't dare to continue.

Because I’m afraid I can’t help myself!

After letting Xixi go, the sweet atmosphere fermented for a while before finally returning to normal.

Although I was joking about having children.

But Lin Xiao also knew that they were far from reaching that point.

Last night, Xixi ran away overnight because she misunderstood what he was going to do.

Although this matter is a bit embarrassing to talk about, it is also a warning for Lin Xiao.

Girls are always more emotional than rational in this matter.

But even driven by emotion, Xixi couldn't give in easily, which meant that their feelings were far from strong enough for her to give up everything.

That's exactly what happened.

The nature of their work requires them to be apart from each other more often than together, so they don't spend much time together and their emotional connections are very shallow.

In other words, this was Xixi's first time in love and she was not prepared for the relationship, so she was so carried away.

The more this is the case, the more Lin Xiao should take care of her, instead of thinking about possessing her impatiently.

especially.

Xixi hasn't even gone home with him to meet his parents yet, and even the procedural promises haven't been given to her.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao really felt that his anxious look last night was indeed scary.

No wonder Xixi was scared away.

At that moment, he held her hand and said seriously: "Xixi, when you are free... come home with me to meet my parents?"

Han Xixi was shyly recalling the domineering kiss just now.

When I heard this, I was suddenly stunned.

"Ok?"

"You don't want to? Then let's talk about it later!"

"no……"

Han Xixi quickly shook her head, biting her lip, her face getting redder, "When..."

Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows: Does this mean she agrees?
I couldn't help but feel in a good mood.

"It depends on your time!"

Lin Xiao said softly, "You are still recording "Singer" and you look quite tense! After you finish recording this show, I will find a time to take you home, okay?" Han Xixi glanced at him, her big eyes flashing with anticipation, and then she smiled tenderly and nodded heavily.

"Hmm~"

The two looked at each other and smiled sweetly.

At this time, Liu Liyun shouted outside the door: "Xixi, Jiajia is here!"

The young couple hurried out of the room.

Chen Jiajia was changing shoes at the door. Seeing the two people coming out of the room one after another with disheveled clothes, messy hair and blushing faces, she immediately imagined a blockbuster movie and her eyes almost popped out.

They both have a flight at 11 a.m., so they still have some time.

Liu Liyun invited Jiajia to have tea, and then went out to buy things with Han Haijun.

There were three young people left in the house.

Han Xixi felt really embarrassed being stared at by the assistant, so she made an excuse that she needed to pack up and went back to her room.

Chen Jiajia then turned her gossipy eyes to Lin Xiao.

I leaned over and asked, "Brother-in-law, how did you make a surprise confession to my sister? Look how bewitched she is, she is totally lost!"

Lin Xiao was stunned by the question.

"Confession?!"

"Yes, confess!"

"..."

Lin Xiao was a little dazed and almost didn't recognize these two words.

Chen Jiajia sensed something was wrong: "You haven't... confessed yet?"

Lin Xiao looked surprised: "We both got married, do we still need to confess?"

Chen Jiajia rolled her eyes, confirming that he really hadn’t confessed yet, but what was going on with Sister Xixi’s shy look?

"You were forced to get the marriage certificate. Brother-in-law, you can't keep using the marriage certificate to make things worse. Don't you have to make a formal confession to confirm your relationship?"

"Uh...I should have confessed then!"

"When and how did you confess?"

"One time, when I was at her apartment, I told her that I was attracted to her!"

"..."

Chen Jiajia rolled her eyes, "That's it?"

Lin Xiao said seriously: "Isn't this considered a confession?"

Chen Jiajia was speechless: "Of course not! How can being moved be considered a confession? Anyone's heart will be moved. If it doesn't move, then you'll die!"

Lin Xiao: “…”

He was speechless.

And at this moment she vaguely understood why Xixi had always avoided her some time ago. Every time the atmosphere was just right for a kiss, she would avoid it in an unromantic way.

At that time, Lin Xiao didn't know what was going on.

Now, after Chen Jiajia's enlightenment, he realized that Xixi was waiting for a formal confession from him.

only!
Before she could even get the confession, she was still confused and dazed when he kissed her hand, and she was drawn into the whirlpool of passionate love.

Now even the issue of having children is being discussed.

Lin Xiao couldn't help but feel proud: My damn charm!
But he quickly came to his senses: What other girls have, my wife must have too! It's just a confession, simple!
An idea quickly came to his mind.

……

At nine o'clock, Lin Xiao drove the two girls to the airport.

Han Xixi was reluctant to leave him, but she couldn't show it in front of Jia Jia. She felt quite lonely, and only felt relieved when Lin Xiao rubbed her hair.

After sending the two people off, Lin Xiao drove the car back to Geely Garden.

Then take the subway back to Tianlanyuan.

He took out the guitar from under the bed, smelled the scent left by Han Xixi at home, played and sang while recalling the past, and wrote a song for Xixi on "Singer" stage next week.

A song that can help her win and confess her love.

There is a huge secret hidden in the lyrics, it is simply hellish!

After finishing the music score, he signed the two big characters "Ma Yao" in the upper right corner and then sent it to Cao Yuanzhi.

After finishing all this, it was already past four in the afternoon.

He closed the doors and windows of his house, took a taxi to the high-speed rail station, and took the high-speed rail back to his hometown in Anyang County.

Go to work the next day.

Qin Zhenggang was in a very good mood, and he announced the good news directly at the team meeting: "I received a call from County Magistrate Ma early in the morning, saying that our request for adding more highway entrances and exits has been approved by the Transportation Bureau, and the approval document has arrived at the county!"

Jia Minglu was very surprised: "So sudden? Didn't you say before that you wouldn't approve it?"

Qin Zhenggang nodded and said, "I don't know the specific details, but it was approved anyway. Moreover, County Magistrate Ma said that the Municipal Transportation Bureau is very supportive of this project and all the construction funds have been resolved, so the approval was issued so quickly!"

After these words were spoken, everyone at the table became excited and looked at Lin Xiao.

In fact, when the idea of ​​adding more highway intersections was first proposed, almost everyone thought it was impossible.

One reason is that Chaobai Town has an awkward geographical location. It is very close to Anyang County and Xiguang County of Ninghai. It takes only 30 minutes to get on the highway from either side, so there is really no need to build a highway exit.

Secondly, of course it’s because Chaobai Town is just a town, and the Municipal Transportation Bureau has nothing better to do than take the problems of a town like yours seriously!
But no one expected this.

This request was actually approved, and it was approved so quickly, and the process went so smoothly!
Everyone knows that this is entirely thanks to Lin Xiao.

But what no one knows is that in addition to writing this request, he also made a lot of efforts in private!
There is no need to say more about these things now.

Qin Zhenggang looked at Lin Xiao, his eyes full of joy and appreciation. He was now completely confident in the abilities of this young deputy mayor.

"Lin Xiao, you were the one who insisted on building the expressway exit. Now that the approval has been issued, construction should begin soon!"

Qin Zhenggang asked with a firm and trusting tone, "What are you going to do next?"

Lin Xiao did not hide anything and said directly: "Qin Zhen, let's do as I reported to you before, develop rural tourism, give full play to the unique advantage of Chaobai Town being next to Ninghai City, attract people from Ninghai to spend the weekend here, and increase the income of our Chaobai Town!"

Qin Zhenggang had heard this before, but no one else in the team had.

Everyone was shocked for a moment.

Qin Zhenggang was still a little indigestion, hesitantly said: "Lin Xiao, rural tourism is a big project, it won't take a few months to see the results... Are you sure?"

Lin Xiao nodded firmly.

Deputy Mayor Tu Hui asked at this time: "Although the expressway exit has been approved, it will take at least two months to be officially built. Without the support of the expressway, even if we praise Chaobai Town to the sky, no one will come in the short term, right?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Lin Xiao said: "Tu Zhen is right. It is indeed difficult to attract traffic without a highway exit, but our key task now is not to attract traffic, but to fully integrate and refine the tourism resources of Chaobai Town!
"The top priority is to select a few interesting tourist attractions that can attract tourists, focus on processing and packaging, and at the same time improve the hardware supporting facilities, so that after the highway exit is built, tourists can come and have fun!"

Qin Zhenggang frowned, digesting the contents carefully.

After a moment, he asked confidently: "Lin Xiao, if you have any ideas in this regard, just go for it boldly. If you need the town to cooperate with you in anything, just tell me!"

Lin Xiao nodded.

With the support of the mayor, he spoke boldly: "The most urgent task now is to fully tap the potential and advantages of the 16 administrative villages. The so-called rural tourism focuses on the countryside, not the town. Tourists come from big cities to see the original natural scenery and some quaint and interesting folk customs, not the small-property houses in the town that are neither urban nor rural.

"The only function of a town is to provide a place for sleeping and eating. Of course, this aspect needs to be improved, but we don't need to put too much effort into it. This is determined by the market environment. When there are more tourists, naturally some people will come here to open homestays and restaurants. For now, we just need to develop the tourism projects well!"

Qin Zhenggang nodded again, seeming to understand.

"You mean to ask each village to come up with a rural tourism theme based on its actual conditions?"

"Yes!"

Lin Xiao nodded and said, "I have also visited all 16 administrative villages in the past few months and feel that there is still a lot of content to be explored. For example, the Laoya Mountain and hot springs in Shangguan Village have particularly beautiful scenery and are pristine. People in the city like this very much. If we find a developer to build a resort hotel or something, we will definitely have no problem finding customers.

"For example, Jiajia Village has a group of well-preserved old houses, all of which are standard Hui-style buildings. The only difference is that the roads are a bit broken and the houses are in disrepair. If the whole village is renovated and the roads inside the ancient village are refined, it will be a very interesting ancient village tourist attraction.

"For example, the kiln in Xiaguan Village has a history of hundreds of years! Before the Yongfeng and Dongyuan ceramic factories were built in the town, the cups, plates and bowls made in Xiaguan Village every year almost covered the daily expenses of tens of thousands of people in Chaobai Town. Now the kiln is still there, and it would be very interesting to turn it into a creative ceramic workshop..."

Lin Xiao opened up completely and talked a lot, and successfully found the direction of tourism development for almost all 16 administrative villages.

Party secretaries and college student village officials from 16 villages were also present at today's expanded team meeting.

The whole room was filled with people stunned.

I never expected that the shabby villages and bad roads in everyone's eyes were actually unpolished jades and treasures covered by dust in the eyes of Deputy Mayor Lin!

Especially the several college student village officials, they were all excited and interested at this moment.

When they leave school and settle in rural areas, they all have grand ideals and ambitions for building the countryside.

But we really arrived in the village.

Only then did I realize that reality is far from as good as I had imagined, it’s even more cruel!
Let alone building the countryside, just helping the villagers solve some trivial matters in their daily lives is exhausting. The ideals and ambitions have long been suppressed in the dry toilets in the countryside.

All dry toilets have been banned now, but other trivial matters continue to arise.

But now, listening to Lin Xiao's passionate imagination, the eyes of several young village officials suddenly became excited again.

However, at this moment, someone poured a bucket of cold water at an inopportune moment.

"Lin Zhen, your ideas are all very good, but I just have one question!"

Jia Minglu's expression was serious, without any trace of provocation or sarcasm, and he said seriously, "Just the development of tourism projects and the improvement of rural infrastructure that you mentioned, it would cost hundreds of thousands of yuan to implement them in each village... Where does the money come from?"

The excitement in the room came to an abrupt end.
