While Tang Lin was fighting for his life in Zhongyuan City, Yue Duo was also helping him in Shang Tang. After a serious ideological struggle, Yue Duo finally went to find the demoted Yue Qing.
It was sunset when Yue Duo met Yue Qing. She really didn't have time during the day, so she had to leave from the county seat when she was about to get off work. It takes 40 minutes to drive from the county seat to Yue Qing's town, which is not too far.
But the road was difficult. Yue Duo didn't have her own driver, so she had a tired look on her face when she got off the bus.
She was carrying a fruit basket in her hand, as if she were visiting a patient.
"Yue Duo? It's really you, why are you here?" Yue Qing suddenly appeared from behind her, wearing a big straw hat, and his whole body was tanned. To be honest, Yue Duo almost couldn't recognize him.
Because when he was in the county, Yue Qing was a well-known gentleman. He was a top student who graduated from a famous university. He always looked very confident, weak and connotative.
Now, how long has it been since we last met?
2 months?
How did he become a complete farmer?
"It's me, but what's wrong with you? Did you resign and become a farmer?" Yue Duo couldn't believe his eyes. Yue Qing shook his head bitterly, then went to the rusty faucet in the middle of the yard and unscrewed it.
, I washed my head and face together.
His hair is now as small as Tang Lin's. It turns out that he cares about his hair style very much. Yue Duo couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it turns out that one person can change so much.
Because in her mind, Yue Qing has always been a very capable and capable person who was born to sit in an office as an official. He is definitely not the kind of grassroots cadre who mingle with farmers and people all day long.
After washing his head and face, Yue Qing didn't wipe them. Seeing that Yue Duo was still standing, he quickly pulled a broken chair out of the house and placed it under the tree. It was very cool and comfortable under the tree.
"Sit down, don't you recognize me? I was defeated by Tang Lin. I think I will hate him forever, but I have no such concept at all now. I was only an official before, and I was separated from the people and reality.
, if it weren’t for being punished by Tang Lin this time, I am almost certain that when I get higher in the future, I will fall even harder. By then, I will definitely not be demoted to the grassroots level as a deputy.
Just take the shot."
"Actually, I not only hated Tang Lin at first, but also hated Mayor Huang. But after Tang Lin came that time, I lay in bed unable to sleep, and I asked myself if I could lead a party like Tang Lin did.
Can people get rid of poverty and become rich? Can I persist for 100 days like Mayor Huang? Eat and live together with the people, work together, and solve problems at the same time."
"Huh, I've been digging wells recently, deep water wells. In fact, before we dug wells, it was only superficial. No one was willing to seriously study the specific hydrogeological conditions of the place, and no one was looking for the water that existed here hundreds of years ago.
Underground river. It took me a month and a half to finally research something beautiful. Now, along the veins of this underground river hundreds of years ago, I have dug three deep wells with you. Let’s put it this way, I
We don’t expect these three wells to alleviate the drought or revive the crops that have dried up, but these three wells can ensure drinking water for people and animals in the five nearby natural villages!”
"Yue Duo, don't laugh at me. Although I am very tired every day and my body hurts so much that I can't sleep, my heart feels more at ease than ever before. I don't speak at the town committee meetings or talk.
, people now call me Yue Qing, the well digger. I just smiled and said, I am not crazy or stupid, I just came to dig wells."
"When doing things, you have to do them one by one. If you become an official and you are separated from the common people, if you forget that you are also a common person, you will never be a good official."
"Don't look at me like that. If you ask me now if I am grateful to Tang Lin, no, I will never be grateful to him. I still hate him a little, but I have already rounded this corner myself and will never do it again in the future.
Think more about that matter. He is doing his thing in the county, and I am doing mine in the town. One day, I will compete with him again, and maybe I will lose, but it will not be this kind of loss.
It’s a loss in ability, do you understand?”
"Look at me, it's not easy to meet an acquaintance. I can't stop talking about it. You wait for me to make you a cup of tea. Chrysanthemum tea. It can reduce fire and coordinate the Standing Committee. I grew it at home. I didn't know it before I came here.
Knowing that this kind of chrysanthemum tea could still be grown in Shang and Tang Dynasties, I was so surprised that I could sit in a well and look at the sky."
Yue Qing is right. The chrysanthemum tea grown by this fellow countryman has a fresh taste, not thick, not greasy, and has no strange smell. It feels very smooth and comfortable in the throat after drinking it.
So Yue Duo opened his mouth to ask for it, "Bring me some of this tea when I leave. I've been very angry recently. I'm a doctor myself, but I can't get rid of it."
Yue Qing immediately nodded and agreed, "No problem, there are plenty, you can get as much as you want. But your visit this time is still related to Tang Lin, right? Otherwise... you wouldn't come to see me."
Yue Duo sighed softly, "You are a completely different person now. I don't even recognize you anymore. It was indeed Tang Lin who asked me to come and see you. He meant that it was not appropriate for him to come see you all the time. In fact, he had already seen through you."
No matter what he does, you will still hate him from the bottom of your heart, so he won't ask for trouble."
"From my own point of view, I really won't come to see you specifically. First of all, I don't think you are a person who will completely recognize yourself and really correct yourself, because you are always so proud in your heart, so you are so proud.
Self-centered. In fact, everyone knows that you are very talented. The Shang-Tang Hotel alone is a masterpiece that makes all Shang-Tang people speechless. It can really be said that you turned decay into magic."
"Secondly, I am very busy now. My head is going to explode when I have to take care of both the hospital and the county committee. Moreover, I also have to cooperate with the work of Tanglin Development Zone, so now I wish I could be separated, so naturally I
I don’t have the energy or thought to think about coming to see you. From my heart, people with your personality need to let you endure hardships in the town and the countryside. Although I have seen your changes, I still think this way.
Nothing has changed.”
Yue Qing was a little embarrassed when he heard this, but he still felt sincerely happy because of Yue Duo's arrival, because apart from Tang Lin, only Yue Duo took the initiative to see him.
Wu Zhong came to him for something, so that didn't count.
"So it's impossible for you to like me from the beginning, right? All these things have passed. I can't write two words about Yue in one stroke. Anyway, you are here. No matter what the reason is, I am very happy. I am happy from the bottom of my heart.
"
Yue Duo nodded lightly, "Although you will definitely be angry again, I think I like a man with Tang Lin's personality, haha."
"But I have no chance. Tang Lin is getting married soon. It gives me the feeling that he and Mayor Huang will skip the engagement and get married directly."
