At the foot of Beishan Mountain in Guangnan City, there is a group of European-style villas. They use uniform rock-style exterior wall tiles and all are gray tiles. They are surrounded by green trees and flowers, small bridges, flowing water, birds flying and cicadas chirping, and the scenery is not far away.

The Beishan Mountains echo each other from afar, forming a natural beauty connected by mountains and rivers.

Villa No. 1 where Shui Qingzhang lives has the best location and the highest lighting.

There is a saying that people are in high spirits during happy events, but they often fall asleep when they are bored. Shui Qingzhang has been bored at work recently, but the arrival of his wife Gu Hongyan and daughter Shui Tingyue still made his mood better.

The back pain is just an excuse for him. He is optimistic that his daughter and Li Yuanlang will have more contact with each other. Xiaoyue is already thirty-two, and it is time to experience the warmth of the family and the care of a man. If there is another child, three generations can live together and enjoy it.

How wonderful it would be to have family happiness.

It's not like now, although I have no worries about food and clothing, I always feel that something is missing. Deserted, yes, deserted, the desertedness of home.

Thinking of this, the Tibetan medicine Shui Qingzhang applied on his waist and eyes, even though it was warm, could not feel a trace of heat, but it radiated a cool air from the bottom of his heart. The chill made his whole body uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but take a sip.

Shivering.

"What's wrong?" Gu Hongyan, who had just come out of the bathroom, wiped his hands and saw Shui Qingzhang's body trembling slightly. He sat next to him and touched the medicine bag to observe carefully.

"It's okay. Go and turn up the air conditioning temperature a little. It's a little cold in the room." Shui Qingzhang made an excuse and looked at Gu Hongyan's appearance, thinking deeply.

His wife is a bit too strong, but she is still considerate and caring towards him.

It’s a shame to say that Shui Qingzhang is where he is today, all thanks to this wife. He is a college student from a rural area. He has good literary talent and beautiful pen calligraphy. The most important thing is that he is also good at composing poetry.

In the 1980s, poets were idols worshiped and pursued by many girls. Moreover, Shui Qingzhang was handsome, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, which was in line with the aesthetic standards of that era. For a time, many girls regarded Shui Qingzhang as their white horse.

Prince, there is an endless stream of people expressing love to him.

Even those girls who feel that they have no chance, also regard Shui Qingzhang as the benchmark for choosing a boyfriend. If they can't meet Shui Qingzhang's conditions, I'm sorry, let's not talk about it.

Gu Hongyan and Shui Qingzhang were in the same school but were in different grades. They were his elementary school girls. She was also fascinated by Shui Qingzhang's charming appearance and talent.

She knew that she was not outstanding, and it was difficult to impress Shui Qingzhang just by her appearance and figure. She might as well be happy and express her love to Shui Qingzhang directly. As long as you choose me, I will save you ten years of hard work.

Gu Hongyan told Shui Qingzhang about her family background at that time. When he heard that Gu Hongyan's father was in a high position, Shui Qingzhang was stunned. He never expected that this seemingly inconspicuous elementary school girl would have such a profound family background.

.

And Gu Hongyan's words to save him ten years of hard work also made Shui Qingzhang feel ripples in his heart. His family was so poor that it was really scary to be poor. His parents worked hard for him to study just to make him stand out and change his destiny, thereby improving the whole family.

quality of life.

After careful consideration, Shui Qingzhang made the first decision in his life and resolutely chose Gu Hongyan as his girlfriend. Not only for himself, but also for the future of his family.

Then he just let nature take its course, got married and had a daughter. Shui Qingzhang moved forward steadily according to the route set by Gu Hongyan, from deputy department to main department, and then to full department. Until today, he has become the Municipal Party Committee Secretary at the department level.

A powerful local official.

This is partly due to his efforts, but also to the support behind Gu Hongyan.

But the strong woman and the weak man also made him miserable, and he was so low on self-esteem that it was difficult to raise his head. Every time he accompanied Gu Hongyan back to his parents' home, the contemptuous looks in Shui Qingzhang's eyes from Gu Hongyan's brothers and sisters made him feel thorns in his back and made him feel uncomfortable all over.

Now when he saw Li Yuanlang, he looked very much like himself back then, but he was different from him. Li Yuanlang was not only smart and upright, but also very independent and had his own style and bottom line.

Shui Qingzhang hoped that Li Yuanlang could make a comeback, counterattack, and teach those children from aristocratic families who look at people through colored glasses a lesson. Poor people can prosper like a fish in water without relying on their own connections.

This was one of the reasons why he urged Li Yuanlang and Shui Tingyue to get together, to rectify the names of ordinary people's families and to fight for the aspiring poor boys.

"Xiaoyue has been out for so long, why hasn't she come back?" Gu Hongyan fiddled with the air conditioner and muttered: "No, I have to call her and ask. Guangnan is not bigger than the provincial capital, but it is not too small. She is a girl.

I’m not worried about everyone.”

Gu Hongyan threw down the remote control and looked for her phone. She didn't know that Li Yuanlang was in Guangnan, let alone that her daughter was staying with him.

"You are serious. Xiaoyue is not a child. For such a big person, she may have gone shopping to buy clothes. Leave her alone and give her some free space." Shui Qingzhang advised his wife.

"She is unfamiliar with the place and has no friends in Guangnan, so what kind of clothes can she buy?" Gu Hongyan babbled, seeming to think of something, and said with surprise: "It's not like Li Yuanlang is in Guangnan, Gan Pingli

Guangnan is not that far, it’s just over an hour’s drive away, Xiaoyue, please stop dating him behind my back, right?”

"Shen Shen Nao." Shui Qingzhang lay on the bed and scolded Gu Hongyan: "Don't worry, your precious daughter won't be abducted. That short-sighted guy dares to abduct the municipal party committee secretary's daughter, unless he doesn't want to live anymore.

."

"Who said that I was abducted?" Shui Qingzhang had just finished speaking. Shui Tingyue opened the door happily like a bird carrying her LV bag, threw the bag on the sofa, and sat next to her mother.

, put his arm around Gu Hongyan’s shoulders and asked intimately with a smile.

"It's your dad who's talking about it, not me. Ask your dad." Gu Hongyan pretended to be angry at Shui Tingyue and went out to buy a plaster for two hours. What plaster is so difficult to buy?

Shui Tingyue stuck out her tongue and smiled apologetically at Shui Qingzhang. She was only focused on shopping with Li Yuanlang and actually forgot about the business and didn't buy medicine at all.

Shui Qingzhang gave his daughter a look that didn't mind. Buying medicine was just an excuse. He had all kinds of medicines here. If he really needed them, he only needed a phone call. The director of the Municipal Food and Drug Administration would not even take the initiative to bring a truckload of medicines.

Deliver it to your door.

"Mom, I want to eat the braised lion's head you made tonight." Shui Tingyue changed the subject and praised her mother's cooking skills again.

In fact, Gu Hongyan is terrible at cooking. Seriously, as long as he can cook the food, the taste is really not complimentable. Especially now that he is an official and has a nanny at home, Gu Hongyan rarely goes to the kitchen and is too lazy to cook.

However, braised lion head is her specialty, mainly because her father, Mr. Gu, likes this dish. In order to please him, Gu Hongyan specially asked a top chef to learn it. Until now, every time he goes back to his parents' home, Mr. Gu orders his daughter to make this dish.

A dish to whet his appetite.

Gu Hongyan originally didn't want to go into the kitchen because it was filled with oily smoke. Anyway, there was a nanny here and her cooking skills were pretty good. Unable to resist, Shui Tingyue coaxed her downstairs and went into the kitchen to have dinner with the nanny.

By the time Shui Tingyue returned to her parents' bedroom, Shui Qingzhang had already taken the medicine bag, put on his pajamas, sat up and asked, "Xiaoyue, tell me, what kind of conspiracy are you planning?"

"Dad, Yuen Long wants to see you." Shui Tingyue confessed truthfully.

"Where is he?" Shui Qingzhang suddenly frowned, feeling that Li Yuanlang must have something important to do when he saw him.

"Wait in my car." Shui Tingyue pointed out the window.

Shui Qingzhang thought for a while and said: "There is Haixin Tea Art on Minqiang Road. The owner's surname is Zheng. If you send Yuen Long there, don't go in. Tell Yuen Long that he is a serious friend and someone will bring him in."

In a dedicated private room. Let’s go separately, I’ll ask the driver to drive me there, and we’ll be there soon.”

This is the residential area of ​​the Municipal Party Committee, and the villas of the Standing Committee members are not far from each other. It is inevitable that everyone's every move will be discovered, not to mention that these are extraordinary times, so it is better to be careful.

After the arrangement was completed, Shui Tingyue quickly went downstairs and drove to the entrance of Haixin Tea Art by following the navigation.

The storefront is small and ordinary, and it is located in a quiet alley. Whenever I open my business, I like to do business in a downtown area, at least in a place where people come and go on both sides of the street. Haixin Tea Art is the opposite.

Li Yuanlang's first impression was that either he specializes in catering to groups with special status, or the boss is not trying to make money and is just doing it for his personal hobbies.

Shui Tingyue did not get out of the car, but Li Yuanlang walked in alone. Once inside, he was immediately shocked by the scene in front of him.

It's not the antique decoration and the valuable solid wood tables and chairs, but a young woman sitting by the window in the foyer, with long hair hanging down her shoulders, a white gauze dress and white trousers. Looking from the side, her eyebrows are curved.

She has a curved nose, a slightly upturned nose, a face like white jade, a beautiful face, and thin lips as delicate as rose petals.

In particular, the woman's slender jade fingers waved the strings of the guzheng, emitting a gentle and low sound, like drizzle hitting banana trees. It was silent from a distance, but still lingering in her ears when she listened quietly. There was a burner of incense burning beside her, and the smoke was lingering and fragrant. In the haze,

, just like a fairy descending to the earth.

Li Yuanlang was stunned. Where did this woman come from with such charm? After all, I had seen beautiful women all the time, but there was no one with this kind of sentiment. She was simply stunningly beautiful.

The graceful woman also noticed Li Yuanlang, and just glanced sideways. She still closed her beautiful eyes and continued to play the guzheng music as if no one else was around. For about two minutes, she pressed the strings, leaned back, and calmed down her breathing.

Slowly turning half of his body, he raised his eyebrows slightly and asked with a toothy smile: "Are you here to drink tea or to be in a daze?"

"Oh." Li Yuanlang scratched his head in embarrassment and said that he was a serious friend and came here if he had something to do.

The graceful woman said "Oh" and called a waitress and asked her to take Li Yuanlang to the distinguished hall.

Who does this woman know? The boss or the boss's wife? She looks less than thirty, but she is still around twenty-five years old. Her surname is Zheng, and she mentioned Zheng, and her name is "Haixin Tea Art". Could it be that her name is Zheng Haixin? She is Zheng Zheng.

Cousin or sister?
