When they approached, Mo Zhenglin also introduced Yu Fan. It turned out that this person was the host of Changqing Temple. Taoist Master Qinglin, the president of Dapu County Taoist Association. Yu Fan also smiled and shook hands with him and said: " Taoist Priest Qinglin, we came without saying hello this time. I take the liberty of disturbing you." In fact, he was a little funny in his heart. He and Taoist Priest Yunxu learned Wuqinxi. I don't know if he can be regarded as his senior brother.
"Infinite Heavenly Lord, Secretary Yu is really honored to come to our Changqing Temple. It's really rude for me to not be able to greet him in person." Taoist Master Qinglin also bowed to Yu Fan and said with a smile.
"Taoist Priest is so polite. You all have contributed greatly to the preservation of Changqing Temple so completely. I want to thank you on behalf of the county committee and government." It seems that although Taoist Priest Qinglin is a monk, as a member of the county Taoist Association President, he is not ignorant of world affairs.
After a while of greetings, the tour on the mountain did not continue. As for Qinglin Taoist Priest Suzhai's request for hospitality, Yu Fan also refused with a smile on the grounds that it was getting late. Originally, Yu Fan wanted to meet Taoist Priest Yunxu. However, Qinglin's enthusiasm was really unbearable for Yu Fan, so he gave up the idea.
When he got home, it was already dark. But just after he sat down and drank a sip of water, this girl Lin Ning walked in. This made Yu Fan couldn't help but have a headache again. This little girl asked this morning Those questions were so sharp that Yu Fan was a little scared when he saw her now.
But when Yu Fan heard her saying that she was going back to Yunjing tomorrow, he couldn't help but be a little dazed. "Are you saying you are leaving tomorrow?" Yu Fan looked at her and asked in disbelief. This guy was a little happy to be here. Why do you say you want to go back? In fact, Yu Fan is also very strange. What's so good about this poor place in Dapu County? This girl doesn't want to be in a nice big city. Why does she like to stay in this poor country?
Lin Ning was very dissatisfied with Yu Fan's attitude. She snorted and said, "Yes. I will leave tomorrow. Didn't you already hope that I would leave? This is not exactly what you want." Yu Fan chuckled and said, "I don't mean that. You can stay here. It's not too late for me to welcome you. I'm just afraid that you won't be used to the life here."
Lin Ning would not believe what Yu Fan said. However, she sighed abnormally and said: "Oh, I have called my family several times to urge me. I have to leave this time. You There's no need to be pretentious. I'm telling you, when I have time, I will come back to you." After saying that, he also snorted twice.
This made Yu Fan tremble in his heart. He smiled dryly and said: "Welcome. Welcome." Hearing the insincerity of his words, Lin Ning rolled her eyes at him and said: "You are too fake. You can't say anything meaningful. Are you talking about nutrition?" Yu Fan was stunned when he heard this. He didn't know what to say. But at this moment, his cell phone rang.
He took it out and looked at it. It was Dai Pinyuan's number. This made Yu Fan confused. Dai Pinyuan seemed to have never called him since he came out. How could he call him this time? He answered the phone. So did Yu Fan. He smiled and said, "Hello, Director Dai. My name is Yu Fan." Although Dai Pinyuan is no longer a director, Yu Fan still feels that this title is much more affectionate. It feels like he has returned to his hometown.
Dai Pinyuan was obviously in a bad mood. Hearing Yu Fan's words, he also said in a deep voice: "Yu Fan, can you come back?" This made Yu Fan a little strange. He smiled quickly and said: "Director Dai, what's the matter? If you have any questions, just tell me. If I can help, I will definitely help."
Dai Pinyuan's voice was still very heavy. "You'd better come back. The old man fell ill. He...his old man wants to see you." When Yu Fan heard this, it was like a bolt from the blue. From Dai Pinyuan's words He could feel that the old man must be very ill. Otherwise, Dai Pinyuan's voice would not be so heavy. But Yu Fan never thought that old man Dai would fall ill at this time. This made him feel confused for a moment. Feel.
Dai Pinyuan didn't hear Yu Fan's voice for a long time. He couldn't help shouting quickly: "Yu Fan, are you there? Yu Fan, are you listening?" Dai Pinyuan's cry also made Yu Fan wake up. His eyes felt sore. His voice was also choked with sobs. "Don't worry. I'll be back early tomorrow morning. Mr. Dai...which hospital is he staying in?"
Hearing Yu Fan's choking voice, Dai Pinyuan was also relieved. The old man finally saw the right person. He sighed and said: "The old man doesn't want to go to the hospital at this moment. We also invited a doctor. But... ..Sigh. You'd better come back soon. The old man misses you very much. I hope you can see him one last time."
Hearing Dai Pinyuan's words, Yu Fan's tears instantly came to his eyes. Lin Ning on the side stood there blankly when she saw Yu Fan like this. She didn't know what to do for a while and hung up the phone. Yu Fan did the same. He immediately dialed the number of Lu Shaoqun, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. He estimated that it would take a few days before he could go back this time. He still had to go through the formalities for asking for leave. At this moment, Yu Fan felt a twinge of clarity in his heart. .
After receiving a call from Yu Fan, Lu Shaoqun immediately approved his request for leave and comforted him to express his condolences. He put down the phone. Yu Fan seemed to have lost all strength and slumped down on the sofa with a pale face. This made Lin beside him Ning was also very frightened. She hurriedly stepped forward to ask him what happened. But Yu Fan just remained silent for a long time. He looked at her blankly for a long time and said: "Tomorrow, I will take you to the province. ." But after saying this, he stopped saying anything despite Lin Ning's various inquiries.
Lin Ning was indeed frightened by Yu Fan's expression. She quickly ran back to tell Chu Qin. Seeing Yu Fan with a sad face, Chu Qin was also shocked. In her eyes, Yu Fan had always behaved He is very calm. He is the kind of person who does not change his expression even if the mountain collapses. What could happen to make him become like this all of a sudden?
Regardless of Lin Ning's presence, Chu Qin held Yu Fan in her arms heartbrokenly and kept comforting him. Yu Fan was also hugging her tightly at this moment. Lin Ning was a little pouty at this occasion. . She knew this was going to be the case. The two had been having an affair for a long time. However, she still carefully checked the doors and windows. If this kind of thing spread, it would be a big scandal.
All night long, Yu Fan had a sad look on his face, and Chu Qin stayed with her the whole time without asking any questions. It was not until dawn that Yu Fan told her what happened intermittently. Chu Qin's eyes were also red. It turned out that someone so important to him was passing away. No wonder he was so devastated. But on the other hand, she was also proud of Yu Fan. He was able to repay kindness. This is the society. A quality that people gradually lose.
Lin Ning on the side heard that it was her grandfather's comrade-in-arms. She quickly asked if she should inform her grandfather. This made Yu Fan a little dazed. The relationship between Mr. Lin and Mr. Dai was not something they could understand. Moreover, as Mr. Lin. It is estimated that it is impossible to come in person. But it is always right to inform. Thinking of this, he nodded to Lin Ning.
After making the call, Lin Ning looked confused. Seeing Yu Fan looking at her, she also said a little strangely: "Grandpa didn't say anything. Finally, he sighed and asked me to go on his behalf." Although it was just that. But Yu Fan somewhat understood. The generation that has experienced life and death together has a much clearer understanding of things like birth, old age, illness and death than their generation. Perhaps for them, death is just as simple as taking the first step.
The car was speeding along. Yu Fan sat in the car and frowned without saying a word. Seeing Yu Fan like this, Lin Ning on the side did not dare to say anything. Wang Jianlin was driving. Gao Yang was Yu Fan's secretary. Naturally, they had to follow. Several people also set off from the county committee when it was slightly light.
Along the way, road construction in Dapu County is also in progress. Tunnels are also being excavated in full swing. The roads on both sides have gradually taken shape. Except for a section of the mountain road in the middle that is still very bumpy, the rest appears to be very smooth. And in Yu In Fan's eyes, these are the foundation for the future development of Dapu County. But at this moment, he no longer feels the same sense of relief as before.
Dapu County is in the west of Zhongnan Province, while Xinyang City is in the south of Zhongnan Province. There are many counties and cities separated between the two. This is also the first time Yu Fan has returned to Xinyang City after arriving in Dapu County. .If he went back normally, it would feel a bit like returning to his hometown. But at this moment, his mood was very heavy.
Sitting in the car, he thought very sentimentally of every detail between him and Old Man Dai. He was such a lovely old man. He treated him like a grandson. He was better than his own son. He even went to see him. When Mr. Lin was old, he still thought about himself and introduced himself to Mr. Lin. Sometimes, Yu Fan couldn't help but secretly wonder why Old Man Dai would recommend him to Mr. Lin instead of his own son Dai Pinyuan. After all, Dai The director also works in a government department and has a closer relationship with him.
No matter how much Yu Fan thinks about this, he still can't understand it. In the end, it can only be attributed to the fact that the two generations have different ideas and minds. From the time he first arrived in the village, Old Man Dai has cared for him very much. The relationship between the two is like that. They are grandparents and grandchildren. They are also like friends. Sometimes Yu Fan can't figure out what the relationship between the two is.
It was a seven-hour drive. And according to Yu Fan's request, Wang Jianlin had driven the car as fast as possible while ensuring safety. Old Dai was not at the town committee, but at the Dai family's own house in Lucaotan Town. When he got off the car, Yu Fan saw the whole door in front of him was white. He felt cold in his heart. Did he come back late? Thinking of this, his legs became a little weak.
