Paper rose

Chapter 15 A Handful of Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needles (7)
Bai Yan took a small sip of water, smiling all over his face, "Where, where! I haven't congratulated Secretary Lu for regaining his freedom yet!"

"This matter is not worthy of congratulations." Lu Difei looked at Bai Yan, like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law.

Bai Yan took down the water bottle, feeling hairy in his heart, "Secretary Lu, what do you think of me?"

Just as Lu Difei was about to answer, Kang Jian swam back and forth and jumped onto the shore in the water.He laughed, it was like that, so watch closely!
In the evening, the four of them did not go to the restaurant for dinner. The staff set up a few armchairs and a dining table on the terrace of the villa to eat barbecue and drink beer.

The weather is really nice, the starry sky is bright, the river breeze is blowing, it is very cool and comfortable.

The content of the barbecue actually included roasted sweet potatoes and roasted corn, which made Xiaoxi very happy. After eating one after another, Bai Yan didn't touch it at all. Xiaoxi asked her why she didn't eat, and she nestled in the chair, wandering It's like space, it's too tiring to say.

A glass of beer was poured, Kang Jian and Lu Difei drank each other, and Xiao Xi was also good at drinking.Kang Jian grilled a plate of meat for Bai Yan, dipped it in sauce, she took it, ate one as if she meant it, then turned her head away.

Kang Jian's dark eyes were as deep as a dark night.

The mobile phone casually placed on the table rang, Kang Jian looked down and hurried down.It took more than half an hour to go there.Lu Difei smiled playfully at Baiyan, and chatted and flirted with Xiaoxi all over the world.

Bai Yan rested his head on the back of the chair, seemed to be thinking, but also seemed to be asleep.

"Xiao Xi, take a net and go down to fish to see if Kang Jian fell into the river?" Lu Difei said after a quarter of an hour.

Xiao Xi smiled, glanced at Bai Yan, then dragged her shoes and went downstairs.

"Let's have a glass of beer!" Lu Difei offered Bai Yan a glass of beer.

"No." Bai Yan waved his hand feebly.

"It can be learned, what is not learned?"

"Don't want to learn. Is everything worth learning?"

"Of course, I'm definitely a good teacher." Lu Difei smiled evilly, "This trip to Jiangxin Island is completely arranged for you. This is our second date. You can ask a question. Next The next time I want to ask, it will be half a month later, and I will go to the provincial capital to study."

"Why did you get divorced?" Bai Yan asked abruptly.

Lu Difei shrugged, "Are you sure you want to give up this opportunity?"

Bai Yan nodded.

"We are a marriage of interests. Now that both parties have achieved their goals, there is no more value to be extracted, so let them go and each find their own side of the sky." Lu Difei said lightly.

"Didn't you say that people in politics can't start fires in their backyards? Are you ruining your career by doing this?"

Lu Difei laughed loudly, "The Communist Party does not allow three wives and four concubines, but it still respects the freedom of marriage. As long as the divorce is not due to gossip, it is a reasonable thing."

"Oh, Secretary Lu is really good at taking advantage of moral loopholes, smart." Bai Yan sat up straight. "Divorce is so simple!"

"Otherwise what do you think?"

"I thought it was a forced choice. To get married, I want to cuddle with someone, live together for a long time, form a family, have a child, have a family relationship that is thicker than water, and cannot be separated by any utensils. How do you Are you willing to divorce?"

"Huh?" What kind of nonsense is this?Lu Difei shook his head, did he hear wrong? "When the fate is over, let's break it up! I'm very frank. If you like it, you like it. If you don't like it, you don't like it. It's not like some people pretend to be affectionate for some shady purposes."

"No, you won't be much better than that kind of person? If you look like this, you are either a coward or a bastard." Bai Yan smiled half-smile, but his tone was serious.

Lu Difei was dumbfounded and swallowed uncontrollably, "Little girl, can you be more specific?"

"I say you are a coward. You don't have the courage to be a qualified husband or a competent father. You are afraid that your family will restrain you and lose your chance to play in the world. You are even more afraid of taking responsibility, so you dare not marry a The person you like, so you can leave as you want, without any worries. You are said to be a bastard, you obviously have a wife and children, but you are still sensual outside, thinking you are romantic. If it is really for the benefit of marriage, Why do you want to have a child? You are adults, pat your ass and leave, what about the child? He has no right to choose his parents. What is wrong with him? Why are you different from other children when you have parents like you? Maybe you will It is said that children will not be hurt by less people, and they will be very rich in material. Can these be compared with the love of parents? Secretary Lu, do you know what home is? A shoulder to lean on when you are tired, and a light when you return late at night A word of encouragement when you are frustrated, a tissue handed over when you want to cry, the back of you standing in the distance when you are proud..." Bai Yan suddenly had a lump in her throat, her eyes were red, she picked up the cup in a concealed manner, and forgot It was beer, and he couldn't help showing pain on his face.

Lu Difei didn't smile, and stared blankly at Baiyan, as if meeting him for the first time, "Is it because you didn't have a father since you were a child, that's why you have such a feeling? In fact, when I think of my daughter, my heart aches. crack."

"Your heart is a high-quality heart, and it has a strong recovery function." Bai Yan swallowed a sip of beer and smiled mockingly.

"Little girl, don't look at others with your outlook on life. Everyone has something to do. Is it because of this that you forgive Kang Jian again and again. In fact, your heart is already like a mirror?"

Bai Yan retracted her whole body into the chair again, "Marriage is like a boat. He and I are on the same boat. If the boat runs aground while sailing, or because of his misoperation, the boat loses its direction, and I will abandon the boat." Leave? You can do everything in style, but you can’t treat your family. Everyone makes mistakes, has a past, and has moments of confusion. I will help him, wait, work hard, and can’t bear to give up easily. Who can predict Will the next marriage be a good one?"

"What if he's not worth it?"

"I'll make him worth it because of me."

"If he is really a rotten tree, or a marriage with ulterior motives?"

Bai Yan smiled softly, "My eyes are not for breathing, I trust my eyes." Then his tone turned helpless, "I will give ten chances to the person I want to care about, and when the chances are used up... I will admit it That's my life."

For a long time, Lu Difei didn't speak, but heaved a long sigh.

"You know? Little girl, at your age, you shouldn't say such vicissitudes of life. You make me feel bad. Unfortunately, what should come will still come, you...you must be good at that time "He shook his head, picked up a glass of wine and drank it, and suddenly his voice dropped, "Some people should not expect too much. Little girl, you are you, Kang Jian is Kang Jian, the relationship between me and Kang Jian The dark war will never be soft because of you. I wanted to recruit you as my undercover agent, haha, but now I failed. Kang Jian has recently gotten close to a boss named Hua. If he goes to your house, Pay attention. Maybe those will be of some use in the future!"

"For example, to listen to you?"

"I won't have such thoughts now. Come on, little girl, toast to our failure." Lu Difei raised his glass, Bai Yan took a sip, and lay back in the chair to blow the air.

Listening to the rushing water of the river, there was a sound of river birds flapping their wings from time to time. It may have been a long time since she had been so deep in nature. She closed her eyes unconsciously.

When Kang Jian came up, she really fell asleep.

Lu Difei stayed and had a drink with Xiaoxi on the moon. He carried the white goose down and laid it gently on the bed. The hem of the skirt was accidentally crumpled into a ball.Under the light, he suddenly saw two faint scars between Bai Yan's thigh and buttocks, like two flowers.

He frowned, turned on the lamp in front of the bed, wanted to see more carefully, and Bai Yan woke up.

"You... saw it?" The little face was blushing as if it was about to bleed.

"What's the matter, was the injury serious?" He stroked the two scars lightly, without thinking about how intimate the gesture was.

Bai Yan dragged the thin quilt to cover her body, "Leader, can you light the stove?"

He shook his head.

"In summer, it's too hot to cook in the house, so I carry the stove to the yard. I have to cook and cook again, so I can only cook one pot at a time. I just cooked the rice, so I moved the pot I moved to the side, put the vegetable pot, poured oil on it, and found that the charcoal was about to be replaced. I carefully opened the oil pot, took out the old charcoal and put it aside, and put the new charcoal into the furnace. I kept reminding myself to be careful I ordered the oil pan, but I didn’t notice that the charcoal slag slipped under my feet, so I threw the oil pan out. I fell down and sat on the coals I just picked up. I could smell the smell of burnt meat at that time, so I left these two balls Imprint. Hehe, how wonderful, if I run away in the future, you need to find someone, the leader, this is an important clue. Leader, you... What's wrong?"

Kang Jian's handsome face was so pale that it turned blue, his lips were tightly pressed together, and the fingertips resting on her were trembling slightly.

"Does it hurt?" He asked sadly.

She yawned delicately, "It must have hurt, but it's over."

"Is there a lot of things like this?"

"I don't remember clearly, oh, once I went to the water room to fetch water, somehow the water bottle burst, and a bottle of hot water was poured from top to bottom. Fortunately, I was wearing pants, and my skin had a few blisters, which disappeared. It's all over. When I was young, who didn't have these thrilling things? My grandmother said that children have to grind, otherwise they won't grow up. Look how good I am now!" She giggled, as if saying other people's business.

He took off his shoes, lifted her quilt, said nothing, just supported her shoulders, hugged her into his arms, and held her tightly.

"Leader..." Bai Yan called out timidly.

"Don't talk, go to sleep!" He put his hands on her eyes.

This kind of hug has nothing to do with love, nothing to do with lust, only full of pity.

Bai Yan obediently turned her head inward, and secretly stuck out her tongue. This seemed to be the first time they slept together in the same bed since they got married!hey-hey!
Heartbeat like a drum.

Jumping, jumping, eyes slowly closed, she fell into a deep sleep.

In his sleep, Bai Yan seemed to have some kind of dream, opened his eyes and shouted "Leader, leader..." Kang Jian bent down, "I'm here!"

She glanced at him in panic, rubbed her arms in his arms coquettishly, and fell asleep again, without seeing the tangled expression on Kang Jian's face.

In the morning of the next day, the sun shone through the cracks in the curtains and fell on the long eyelashes of the white goose.The eyelashes blinked and blinked, and when they opened, Kang Jian's chin with a blue stubble came into view, and a feeling as warm as the sun came out of his heart.She couldn't help reaching out and touching his face, "Good morning, leader!"

Kang Jian rubbed her hair with a smile, moved his stiff arms, "Get up, let's go for a walk."

There is no discomfort at all, as if such a morning is the most common.

The two crowded in the bathroom to brush their teeth and wash their faces, Bai Yan made faces in the mirror, and Kang Jian scratched her nose.She found a T-shirt and trousers for him, changed into a long sleeveless skirt herself, and pestered him to praise him before she would go out.

Outside, the air is warm and sweet.

"There are reeds there!" Walking to the river, the white geese suddenly jumped up as if they had discovered a new land, broke away from Kang Jian's hand, and ran over, happily folding the blue and wide reed leaves.

"What are you doing?"

"Secret. You can help me too, I want a lot." Bai Yan quickly folded a handful in her hands, and she expertly picked up the long grass stems and tied up the reed leaves.

"What's the use of this?" Kang Jian was really curious.

"Hey, it's very useful."

The reeds on Jiangxin Island were dense and tall. In a short while, the two of them broke more than ten reeds, and Bai Yan hugged them like babies.When they arrived at the villa, Lu Difei and Xiaoxi asked again, but she just smiled and didn't answer.

"Little girl, you seem to have gained a lot from this trip."

Bai Yan sweetly looked back at Kang Jian who followed in from outside, and nodded affirmatively.

On Sunday, the four left Jiangxin Island and returned to Binjiang.

The first thing Bai Yan did when he got home was to spread out more than a dozen reed leaves on the balcony. Kang Jian still couldn't guess her intention, but the fragrance of reed leaves wafted through the house, and he felt as if he was still in the river. heart island.

In the evening, Kang Jian was called by Cong Zhongshan, saying that he was accompanying the National Sanitation City Assessment Team to conduct random checks.Bai Yan was too lazy to cook by himself, so he took two cucumbers, sat in the living room, and ate them while watching TV.

Doorbell rang.

She ran over and saw a short, fat middle-aged man through the cat's eyes, and was taken aback for a moment.

"Who are you looking for?" She opened the door a crack. Although the security of the community is very good, she still needs to be a little bit wary of strangers.After opening the door, he saw two boxes of fruit under the man's feet.The man probably carried it up, sweat pouring down his face.

"I... I'm looking for the assistant to the mayor of Kang Jian." The man panted.

"He's not home. Are you?"

"My surname is Hua, my name is Hua Xing, and I'm Kang Zhu's friend." The man took out a business card from his handbag, smiled respectfully, and handed it to Bai Yan.

Huaxing?The name was so familiar, Bai Yan looked down at the business card and was taken aback.It's true that people can't be judged by appearances. This unremarkable man in front of him turned out to be the boss of Huaxing Hotel.

"But he's not at home, you can call him if you have anything to do, or go to his office." Bai Yan politely let him into the living room and poured him a cup of iced tea.

Hua Xing chuckled, looking at the layout of the house, "Actually, I have nothing to do, I just came to find out. When you got married, I happened to be on a business trip." He turned around and went out, bringing in two boxes of fruit.

Bai Yan declined and said no, Hua Xing smiled, "Mrs. Kang, don't alienate me. Kang Zhu and I have been friends for many years. Besides, this worthless fruit is not enough to accept bribes, it's just my heart. "

Bai Yan was embarrassed, for some reason, she was a little bit repulsed by this Boss Hua, and didn't like his philistine spirit.

Hua Xing was also sensible, and after drinking a cup of tea, he got up and said goodbye.Before leaving, he repeatedly asked Bai Yan to go to Huaxing Hotel to play, to take friends to sing, to eat. "When I built the Huaxing Hotel, I also developed several bachelor apartments with decoration. If you have friends who want to buy them, I will give you a discount." Boss Hua added.

Bai Yan thanked him politely.

After the door closed, she called Kang Jian and reported Boss Hua's arrival.Kang Jian let out a cry, and there seemed to be many people around him, so he only said one sentence: "Okay, I see, so I hung up the phone."

Bai Yan was stunned. Does this seem to prove that what Hua Xing said is true?
The weather is hot and the fruit should not be stored.She opened the carton, and found a box of red grapes imported from the United States, and a box of Aiwen mangoes produced in Taiwan, all plump and flawless, like works of art.

God, if these fruits are really not worth a few dollars, there is still a lot of room for the appreciation of the renminbi!Bai Yan slanted his mouth.

Kang Jian has long known that being an official is a high-risk industry and an art of wisdom.

The higher the position, the more dangerous it is.In the face of all laws and disciplines, you must be naturally restrained, and you must completely rule out all chances, and don't even count on edge balls.Otherwise, any degree of negligence may lead to disaster.Those who are courteous and flattering in the face of power, those who do everything possible to curry favor and bribe, those who linger like flies, no matter what their purpose is, in theory, they may be invisible killers who will kill you.

But then again, if you really pretend to be lofty, draw a clear line with others in everything, and talk about integrity, it will not be conducive to your work.Just like the Ninth Five-Year Lord in ancient times, in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, he needed loyal ministers to serve the country, and he also needed villains to help him firmly control the central government.It is not conducive to the development of the country to use only loyal ministers or villains.Everything in the world is beautiful when it is round and square.

This presents a difficult problem, what should I do if I want to walk by the river without getting my feet wet?
At this time, it depends on a person's leadership ability and skill level.

When Kang Jian first arrived in Binjiang, he was not in charge of urban construction, but followed the executive mayor to familiarize himself with the situation.Like Cong Zhongshan, the executive mayor is a veteran in the officialdom.For things that can be seen to be effective, they will be in their hands, and for some offending and difficult things, they will be handed over to Kang Jian.
