one year later.

"Xiao Pei, you're back!" The aunt chatting downstairs greeted Pei Yixiao when she saw Pei Yixiao, "You came back early today."

Pei Yixiao smiled and nodded, "En."

"What kind of food did you buy today?" These aunts liked him very much and gathered around to see the food he bought.

Pei Yixiao opened the bag to them with a good temper, "Potatoes, cabbage, pork ribs, melons, green onions, ginger, garlic..."

An aunt said: "Little Pei, why are you (so) capable, why don't you find a girlfriend?"

Pei Yixiao shook her head shyly, "I don't have this plan right now."

Several aunts said in one go: "It's impossible not to have a girl like you! Isn't it too picky?"

"Why do you know how to take care of people? It would be great if any girl finds you!"

An aunt hurriedly said: "Xiao Pei, let me tell you, my family has a niece who just graduated from college and works as a reporter in a newspaper office. Would you like to meet?"

Another aunt was not to be outdone: "I have a girl from a friend's family who graduated in July this year. She is very beautiful and fits well with Xiao Pei!"

Several aunts began to introduce girlfriends to him.This one is a niece, that one is a colleague's girl, and another one took out his phone and wanted to show Pei Yixiao a photo.

Pei Yixiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he could only clearly refuse: "Auntie, Auntie, I really haven't thought about these (those), I put work first, work first."

The aunts couldn't believe it, "Xiao Pei, do you have a girlfriend?"

"No need, no need, really no need."

"Okay, ah (then) you have to tell your aunt when you want to look for it."

"Okay, okay," Pei Yixiao nodded, and walked into the unit door.

Behind them are the caring eyes of several aunts.They liked this little boy from the bottom of their hearts. He was good-looking, obedient and diligent, and his workplace was not bad. I heard that he graduated from a prestigious university in the capital.This kind of little boy doesn't have a girlfriend, which shows that he doesn't mess around, and it proves that he is a good person. If he can marry a girl to him, it will be a blessing.

Pei Yixiao was used to the enthusiasm of the aunts, so he didn't think much about it.He came to Shanyang in late October of the previous year, was admitted to a public institution, and rented a one-room household in this building.Residents in small cities are more enthusiastic, and the aunts and uncles around him quickly get to know him.Pei Yixiao speaks a good-natured dialect, and everyone doesn't know where he is from, but they just think that the young man is very nice, and they like to ask him to help out when there is something in the family, and often send him to cook some delicious food.Pei Yixiao also started a business of his own, and the level of cooking is increasing day by day, which is bullish.

During the Chinese New Year, Shen Qinglian missed him and called him. Pei Yixiao said that she was very busy with work here and had to go to the countryside, so she didn't go back.Pei Yiming also called him later, saying that it was okay to go home for the New Year, but he still declined.Yang Hao and Duan Yi came to accompany him for two days and gave him a year-end red envelope.Although the company has not started for a long time, it has a slight surplus. Of course, it is far from paying back the money to the second brother.The three huddled together in his hut, drinking beer, eating snacks and watching TV. They were very happy. They talked about things from childhood to adulthood. Yang Hao told him one by one. He knew Yang Hao's intentions and was very moved.Before leaving, the three hugged each other for a long time.

After the two left, Pei Yixiao returned to the house. The room was deserted, and he suddenly felt cold and lonely.Watching the Spring Festival Gala on TV, which has been rebroadcasted countless times, took out the phone and held it in both hands, looking at a number.Lu Guantao's.The compiled text message has not been sent out for a long time, and it is left in the draft box.

Lu Guantao didn't call him or text him until the end of the new year.Pei Yixiao gave up in anticipation, and deleted the text message in the draft box.He feels that the world is impermanent, those past relationships, he really doubts whether it happened...

Pei Yixiao returned home with a bag of vegetables, took off his coat, and turned on the TV.First stew the rice, then peel the potatoes and melons, soak the potatoes in salt water, and cut the melons into pieces.Wash the pork ribs, blanch them with water, stir them with cold water, then pick them up and put them in a pressure cooker, add water to the pot, hold melons, and shaved ginger pieces, and start stewing as soon as the lid is covered.He continued to chop shredded potatoes, washed cabbage, mashed garlic, and fried shredded potatoes and cabbage with garlic.The three dishes can be eaten almost at the same time. He filled a bowl of rice and walked to the living room to watch the news.

After watching CCTV's news broadcast, he turned to Shanyang Balcony, which was showing news from Shanyang City.The two hosts, a man and a woman, sat upright and began to read the news summary. Pei Yixiao went back to the kitchen to refill the dishes, but didn't pay attention.After returning to the living room, as soon as I sat on the sofa, I heard the news of the municipal party committee on the TV, and the new secretary of the municipal party committee was in a meeting.

"This afternoon, Municipal Party Secretary Lu Guantao presided over an enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee to study and discuss the development of Shanyang's characteristic agricultural industries and tourism..."

The chopsticks in Pei Yixiao's hand fell to the ground, his eyes widened suddenly, his body suddenly leaned forward at 45°, and he stared at the TV screen tightly.The news was showing close-ups of the leaders of Shanyang City in the conference room, and Hao Hao used a few close-up shots of the microphone for no reason, and finally slowly cut back to the man sitting in the middle.

The man had a refined and handsome appearance, wearing a dark black suit, pursed his mouth more seriously, read the manuscript, said a few words, and listened carefully to the others.

Pei Yixiao's eyes turned red before he knew it, and a layer of mist formed in his vision, making it almost impossible to see the screen in front of him clearly.

……

Lu Guantao came to Shanyang, and now he is the secretary of Shanyang's municipal party committee?

This is how the same thing?

Shanyang is just a small city in Xiping, a poverty-stricken province in the west, not even a provincial capital. It is so small that it only takes half a day to drive every road.Why did Lu Guantao come here?According to his qualifications, he can go to an economically developed province and city to be a leader, as the starting point of his political career abroad.Could it be that he came here... for himself.

Pei Yixiao bit her lip, unable to eat anymore.Feeling ups and downs and emotional, I didn't pick up the chopsticks when I dropped them on the ground. I just stared at the screen and read the news.

Lu Guantao has been here for a few weeks.

Lu Guantao has already inspected several large units in Shanyang City.

Lu Guantao decided to focus on the development of characteristic agricultural industries and tourism.

Lu Guantao...

This night, Pei Yixiao was destined not to be able to sleep.

Early the next morning, with two circles under her eyes, Pei Yixiao went out.He found that the sky is still the same blue, the pedestrians on the road are still in the same hurry, and the world has not changed.When he arrived at the unit, he went to get water to drink as usual, but was called to the office by the boss of the unit.

"Xiao Pei, sit down. You have been in the unit for a year?" The director, who usually always has a rigid face, smiled like a flower today.

The second monk Pei Yi and Xiao Zhang couldn't figure it out, "More than half a year."

"Oh, how are you doing? Usually we don't care much about you." The director assumed a heart-to-heart attitude, "We were negligent."

"Uh, no, no, the bureau is pretty good, and everyone takes good care of me." Pei Yixiao was more suspicious, wondering what kind of medicine was sold in the director's gourd.

The director looked a little regretful and said: "The bureau was prepared to train you well, but now the municipal committee has issued an order to transfer you to the office of the municipal committee. What a pity, our bureau let go of another good tree. seedling."

Pei Yixiao choked on his saliva in surprise, "Cough, cough, bureau, bureau chief... order?"

"That's right!" The director kindly put a red-headed document in front of him, "Look, this is a transfer order from the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee. You have to report to the Municipal Party Committee Office tomorrow."

Pei Yixiao was dizzy.

This day's work basically stopped. He went back to the office to pack his things. Everyone who knew him came to congratulate him. He has already booked a seat at the largest seafood restaurant in Shanyang City. Everyone wanted to see him off, and they even said that it was the director's private treat.

Pei Yixiao didn't know what he did or said at all, he was completely confused.At dinner in the evening, it is estimated that the bureau has already investigated. He heard the director mention that his father is Minister Pei, and his tone changed from the amiable in the morning to more humble and respectful. Pei Yixiao didn't have much reaction.All the people here are bureau leaders. I'm afraid they want to make a good impression on him so that they can talk to him later.

Pei Yixiao was drunk, and was sent home by the chief himself in a car, and the chief's driver helped him into the house before leaving.

The result of the hangover is an extra headache in the morning.Pei Yixiao stood up and looked at his phone, and hurriedly got up to take a shower and change clothes. Today is to report to the municipal party committee office, so he can't be late.He was almost certain that this transfer order was definitely made by Lu Guantao.After experiencing the shock of seeing the news the day before, he has been able to accept this incident relatively calmly.

Expected with doubts.

The municipal party committee building was much more imposing than the public institution he stayed in. The guard asked Pei Yixiao why he was here, and pointed him to a way to the office.Pei Yixiao suppressed his strong desire to see Lu Guantao, and went through all the procedures that should be done when entering the job, and finally finished it at noon.Under the leadership of the office director, go to the office and sit down in your own seat.After eating, he was called out by the office director again, "Xiao Pei, Secretary Lu appointed you to be his secretary. You should go to Secretary Lu's office."

Pei Yixiao suddenly realized.

However, Lu Guantao abused his power in this way - he himself was airborne, and he transferred a secretary from another unit as soon as he arrived - is this really okay?No wonder the few people in the office today who don't know his background are a little indifferent to him.They originally had an equal chance of becoming the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, but it was a bit unfair that a young man from outside took this position.Some are tactful and experienced, knowing this situation probably means that he has a relationship with the secretary, so he is a little bit smiling.

He didn't think much, thanked the director, and went to the office of the secretary of the municipal party committee and knocked on the door.

"Come in." Lu Guantao's characteristic elegant voice sounded.

Pei Yixiao bit her lip hard in an instant, blood rushed to her head.No, it seems too excited... This is not a good thing.He stood outside the door trying to calm down.

"Come in." Lu Guantao called out again.

Only then did Pei Yixiao push the door open, "Secretary Lu."

Lu Guantao raised his head and looked over.

The corner of the mouth slowly raised an arc.

The elegant man was sitting there, they hadn't seen each other for almost a year, it seemed like a time and space had passed.

The two looked at each other for a long time before Lu Guantao pointed to the chair opposite his desk, "Sit."

Pei Yixiao felt that every step he took could almost punch a hole in the ground. During the two seconds from the door to the seat, he was in chaos. The surrounding environment and office equipment were spinning and shaking around him rapidly. nonstop.He wondered if he was hallucinating, stopped and shook his head violently.

Seeing him shaking his head violently like a puppy shaking water drops, Lu Guantao's smile deepened.

Pei Yixiao walked and walked, from one era to another, from winter to spring and then from spring to summer... Only then did he reach the seat, and it took another half a century to let his buttocks touch each other PU leather chair.

Unexpectedly, Lu Guantao did not reminisce about the old days, but asked him in a business-like manner if he understood the job responsibilities, and told him what the next series of tasks were and what he planned to do.

Forgive the child for being confused, just nod and nod in a trance.

Lu Guantao stopped, a little amused.

In fact, he couldn't restrain his restless emotions.He carefully looked at the child who was obviously in a state of erratic state in front of him.The eyes are still so big, the skin is still so white, the chin is still so sharp, the lips are still so red, and the hair is still soft and black. It seems that he has taken good care of himself this year.It seems impossible to see decadence, pessimism and frustration in Cheng'er. This child is synonymous with vitality.Moreover, he should still love himself, otherwise he wouldn't be in such a distraught state, puff!

It's not in vain that I drove all the way from the capital.

Fortunately, the child did not give up on him, thank the child for his heart...

The two looked at each other silently for a few minutes before Pei Yixiao came to his senses and almost jumped up in fright, "Lu, Secretary Lu, I, I didn't do it on purpose!"

Lu Guantao put on a show and said, "Don't be distracted, just keep listening to me."

"Yeah." Pei Yixiao nodded his head, writing notes in the notebook he brought, and he finally entered the working state.

Nothing happened that day, and I left work as usual when I got off work.Pei Yixiao originally thought that Lu Guantao would stop him and have dinner together... It seems that he was thinking too much.

He still went to the usual vegetable market to buy some vegetables, fruits and meat to go home.

After all, is life still going on?

But today, his hands were very loose, he wanted to buy everything he saw, and he went home with a big bag full of things.

As he walked, he planned how to do tomorrow's work, how to greet Lu Guantao, and how to get along with his colleagues.He wondered what state and psychology Lu Guantao was in.Why did you come to Shanyang, why didn’t Shanyang find you immediately when you came here, why didn’t you say anything when you saw him...

As usual, I greeted my aunt downstairs.Today, the aunts seem to be discussing a strange man who came to this alley. They are all surprised. They have never seen this man before. He is in a suit and leather shoes. I don’t know which family he is a relative of...

Pei Yi Xiao Deng, Deng, Deng, Deng went upstairs, and when they were about to arrive, he looked up at the door and saw a black suit, which was the workmanship of Yanhuang Haute Couture Master Gongsun.It turns out that this is the person the aunts were talking about.

Lu Guantao heard footsteps, turned around and saw him, and smiled, "I was knocking on the door for a long time, why are you not here, so you went shopping? - bought so much? Do you know I'm coming? Give it to me Make something delicious? Huh?" The unique ending sound rose, and the unique intimate tone.This is the Lu Guantao that Pei Yixiao is familiar with, not Secretary Lu who is in the office today.

"Why are you here?" Pei Yixiao stood at the corner of the stairs, did not go up, the two of them just looked at each other with a few steps between them.Pei Yixiao has completely calmed down.

Lu Guantao understood that what he asked was not why he came to this building, but why he came to Shanyang.He paused, and said word by word: "Cheng'er, I'm finally single. So, I think I have the right to come to you."

Pei Yixiao's nose was sore.

"Cheng'er, I'm alone here, unaccompanied, please take me in." He said as he walked down to meet Pei Yixiao.

Pei Yixiao didn't move, letting the familiar faint male fragrance and warm body temperature surround him.Two powerful arms held him tightly, almost suffocating.

A kiss landed on the corner of the lips.Forehead offset.

"I miss you so much."

……Me too.
