official career

"I didn't think it through enough. The secretary should have been more thoughtful." Cao Changsheng agreed with Qin Feng's opinion.

"There is another thing. The Qingshui River Bridge will be officially completed and open to traffic next week. This project is of great significance. Moreover, it was completed three months ahead of schedule. It is said that Wang Bingrong lost more than two million on this project."

"Do you think you might as well attend the opening ceremony in person?" Cao Changsheng asked.

Qin Feng looked at Cao Changsheng and had a rough idea in his mind.

Although Cao Changsheng did not say it explicitly, it was obvious that he was speaking in favor of Wang Bingrong.

After Qin Feng completely severed his relationship with Wang Bingrong, Wang Bingrong naturally began to curry favor with Cao Changsheng.

There must be Wang Bingrong behind Cao Changsheng's invitation to Qin Feng to attend the opening ceremony.

"I won't go. It's better for you, the county magistrate, to step in on this matter." Qin Feng said with a smile, without making any comment on Wang Bingrong's completion of the project ahead of schedule.

……

"How was Hong Yue's teaching the children today?" Qin Feng asked Wang Jun on the way home after get off work.

This afternoon, Qin Feng asked Wang Jun to drive Hong Yue to give music lessons to the children in a rural school.

"Well... I don't understand music, nor do I understand these children, so I don't know whether the class is good or bad. I only know that the children in that class are very happy and excited, and my aunt is also very happy."

"Being happy is the best result." Qin Feng said with a smile.

When Qin Feng returned home, Mrs. Wang was cooking in the kitchen, but Hong Yue was not in the living room.

"Sister Wang, where is Hong Yue?"

"Hong Yue is in the bedroom, folding clothes for you. She doesn't let me do this." Mrs. Wang explained.

"It's good to let her do something within her ability, so she won't feel useless."

Qin Feng walked into the bedroom. Hong Yue was sitting in a wheelchair, folding washed and dried clothes for Qin Feng in front of the closet.

"How do you feel about teaching the children for the first time today?" Qin Feng walked over and asked Hong Yue.

"It's pretty good. The children responded very enthusiastically and were very happy."

"You know, I was very worried before I went to class. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to teach well, that the children wouldn't like me, and that they would laugh at me for being paralyzed."

"..."

Hong Yue vividly described to Qin Feng the scene of giving music lessons to rural children today.

Qin Feng didn't hear anything Hong Yue was saying. He only saw the smile on Hong Yue's face and the confidence she exuded, and this was what Qin Feng wanted to see most.

"By the way, Qin Feng, let me show you something." Hong Yue said as she pushed her wheelchair to the cabinet.

He opened the cabinet, took out a gift box and handed it to Qin Feng.

"What's this?"

"You'll know when you open it and take a look."

Qin Feng opened the gift box puzzledly, and inside was a pair of silver bracelets.

Qin Feng thought that this was the bracelet that Hong Yue bought for him, but when he took a closer look, he found that the size of the bracelet didn't seem to be right.

"This is……"

"Niuniu will be one year old in a few days, right?" Hong Yue asked.

"Yes, there are still two days left, this Saturday." Qin Feng nodded.

"This is the birthday gift I prepared for Niuniu." Hong Yue picked up a bracelet and introduced it to Qin Feng: "I don't know if there is this custom in other places, but in Bishan, there has been a custom since ancient times. When a child is one month old or one year old, the elders in the family will give the child a pair of silver bracelets, also called longevity bracelets, which means that the child can grow up healthy."

Qin Feng stroked the other bracelet and looked at Hong Yue quietly.

"Thank you!" Qin Feng said finally.

"Why are you thanking me? I bought it for your child. It was your money. I am penniless and I can't make any money. I know you are a carefree person and won't pay attention to these things. Besides, you are busy all day long and definitely don't have time to think about this."

"Don't tell Zhou Qian and the children that I bought the bracelet. That's not good." Hong Yue told Qin Feng.

Qin Feng nodded without comment.

"When will you go to Zhongjiang to celebrate Niu Niu's birthday?" Hong Yue asked.

"I... don't know yet." Qin Feng said hesitantly.

"What do you mean you don't know? How can you be a father? You haven't been with Niu Niu often. Why don't you find more opportunities to accompany Niu Niu? Besides, it's Niu Niu's first birthday."

"In Bishan, a first birthday is a big birthday, the biggest event in the family, and generally a big banquet is held."

"Isn't tomorrow Friday? You should go to Zhongjiang tomorrow afternoon, so that you can celebrate Niu Niu's birthday on Saturday." Hong Yue made arrangements for Qin Feng.

Qin Feng's emotions were very complicated. Finally, he nodded to Hong Yue and said, "Okay, but you are alone at home, I..."

"What? Are you worried?"

"Kind of."

"What's there to worry about? Isn't there Mrs. Wang at home with me? And Xiao Min asked me to go shopping with her on Saturday morning to buy clothes. She invited me out for lunch at noon and took me to get my nails done. I have to go to her premiere studio in the evening."

"Qin Feng, don't worry about me. I won't do anything stupid again. I can feel that I have become much calmer since coming here. Many of the inexplicable emotions I had before have disappeared all of a sudden."

"The most important thing is that I have found something to do now, and I feel that I still have value in existence. I don't want to die, at least I can still see you every day. I can't bear to die now." Hong Yue said with a smile.

Qin Feng's heart was touched again, and he held Hong Yue's hand and rebuked her: "Don't mention the word death again in the future."
