Early the next morning, the two quarreling people drove together to find Bass, but when they came back at night, there was still no result. Because of Bass's incident, Wutong Manor lost the joy of the past. Everyone missed Bass, and Orange because there was no
He blamed himself for rescuing Bass and refused to eat or leave the Black Gold Pavilion.
Cheng Hao couldn't sleep, so he went to Wenxue Garden to see Orange. Unexpectedly, Lin Jiahui was also there. Across the railing, Jiahui and Orange faced each other in silence. When he got closer, he found that there were tears on Jiahui's face. Lin Jiahui was immersed in Bath's love.
In his thoughts, he didn't hear Cheng Hao approaching. Cheng Hao gently patted Jiahui on the shoulder. Jiahui turned his head numbly and saw Hao'er. He quickly wiped away his tears and said, "Come and see Orange too."
.”
Hao'er said: "If I can't sleep, I close my eyes and it's Buzz."
Ka Fai said: "I usually run around with the two of them all day long, but now one of them is suddenly missing. I feel really empty in my heart. I wonder how Bas is doing now, whether he is alive, whether he is seriously injured, and whether he can escape from the bad guys.
Come out and see if you can find something to eat and find your way home."
Hao'er said: "I watched Bass grow up. I often teased him and made fun of him, but he didn't care at all. When he was a child, he was looking for oranges. Once, he broke the fence I had just installed.
I kicked it and laid it on the ground. It ran away and accidentally bumped into a tree again. It looked back at me embarrassedly and I laughed loudly at it." Hao'er said as if he had gone back to the past. He didn't feel it.
He smiled and continued: "Think about it, Buzz is really cute and tolerant."
Ka Fai said: "Yes, Bass is loyal, brave and tolerant. I am really happy to be with him. He never dislikes me or looks down on me."
"What are you talking about, Jiahui." Hao'er felt that something was wrong with Jiahui.
Lin Jiahui said: "Hao'er, I know you don't like me. People in Yuyuan only treat me because of Xiao Yu's reputation. In fact, everyone looks down on me. It's not anyone's fault. It's because I have no future."
Hao'er really didn't like Lin Jiahui, but Lin Jiahui said it himself, but Hao'er felt embarrassed and said quickly: "Don't say that, Jiahui, in fact everyone cares about you."
"Don't comfort me, Hao'er. I know I'm worse than a dog. Bass can save Ningning, but I can't save Bass. I can't do anything. I'd rather lose me than Bass."
." Lin Jiahui cried again. He turned his head and quietly wiped his tears.
It turns out that everyone has a soft side and a sincere side in their hearts. Haoer felt that Jiahui was as fragile and sincere as a child. He began to feel that Lin Jiahui was not so annoying. It was the first time that the two of them chatted for so long, talking about Bath Orange.
bit by bit.
Xiaowei and Yifan also blamed themselves for not being able to rescue Bass, especially Xiaowei who originally came to the Rain Garden to relax. Unexpectedly, something like this happened again. His mood, which had been sunny just now, turned cloudy again.
.Xiujun saw her son locking herself in the room, saying little, and didn't know what to do. She said to Weilin: "Go and persuade your son. Usually when your son is in a bad mood, you always comfort him.
You can always convince him."
Cao Weilin hesitated and said, "But now, will he listen to me?"
Xiujun said: "Go and try it."
Cao Weilin looked at his introverted and sensitive son sitting at the desk, staring at the book in a daze. He felt unspeakable pity in his heart. He sat next to his son and gently stroked his son's head. Xiaowei did not respond and still sat there.
Not moving.
Cao Weilin said: "Xiaowei, are you thinking about Bass?"
Xiaowei finally turned his head, with tears shining in his eyes, and said softly: "I hurt Bass. I wanted to help him, but I couldn't."
Seeing his son crying, Cao Weilin felt sad and said: "Xiaowei, everyone is very sad that Bas is lost, but this is not your fault. You have tried your best. You rescued Ningning and you behaved very well."
Brave, Dad is so proud of you, so proud of all the kids, and our brave Buzz."
"But Buzz is going to die. Those two bad guys said they were going to kill him."
"No, kid, Bass will not die. He will always be our friend and our hero. We should be proud of him and bless him. No matter where he is, we will bless him, okay?"
"Dad" Xiaowei snuggled gently into his father's arms, once again found comfort from his father, and temporarily forgot the estrangement between him and his father.
On the fourth day after Bas was lost, just after lunch, the adults were sitting in the living room watching TV news. Xiaowei and Yifan were discussing a math problem they had not finished in the morning in the corridor outside. Suddenly Haoer shouted in the living room:
"Xiaowei, Yifan, come on, come on." The children hurriedly ran into the living room and saw news reporting on the TV. Two suspects of child abduction and trafficking were arrested in City A. The children recognized the two bad guys at a glance.
Xia Yu, Haoer, and Jiahui rushed to City A together and found the police station where the two bad guys were detained. However, when Xia Yu mentioned Bass to the police station personnel, they did not take it seriously.
A young public security officer said: "This is the police station and we are not responsible for finding pets for you."
Xia Yu said: "It's like this. These two suspects kidnapped a child. Bass was taken away by them in order to save the child. We just want to ask them whether Bass is alive or dead and where he is now."
.”
The public security officer asked: "Has the child been rescued?"
Xia Yu said: "Rescued."
The public security officer said: "Isn't that enough? Just save the child. Is a dog worth traveling so far to find?"
Haoer was anxious to find Buzz. He was already a little impatient. At this time, he finally couldn't help it anymore and said: "What happened to the dog? Buzz was lost to save the child. In terms of merit, he should be rewarded and praised."
For a hero.”
The public security officer rolled his eyes at Haoer and said, "You are sick."
Lin Jiahui was the first to say: "You are the only one who is sick. Do you have any love?"
Ka Fai said: "We didn't quarrel, we were quarreling with him."
Xia Yu ordered: "Shut up." Jiahui shut up. Xia Yu hurriedly said to the public security officer: "I'm sorry for causing you trouble. Let's go."
"Wait a minute," an old police officer sitting opposite the young man said, "You just want to say something, I'll go ask it for you."
"Lao Zhang, you——" The young man was not satisfied.
"Forget it, Xiao Cui, I have also raised dogs in the past. I know that the relationship between people and animals is sometimes very deep. Just ask a question. I will ask them for them."
"Forget it, forget it, let me do the errands." The young man went out reluctantly.
The old police officer said: "Young people have bad tempers, but they are still good people. Sit down and wait for a while."
Xia Yu hurriedly said: "Thank you."
After the young man came back, he reported the situation of Bass in a professional manner: "What are you doing? Four days ago, around 5 pm, he ran away near the Liucun intersection on the outskirts of the city. At that time, one leg was injured and he was walking with a slight limp.
, the head was injured, and the back was also injured.”
"So, Bas is still alive, he must be alive, thank you." Xia Yu shook the young man's hand gratefully.
"Thank you, Bas must be alive." Haoer patted the young man's shoulder excitedly.
"Thank you, you are such a good comrade, please bless our Bas." Jiahui patted the young man's shoulder vigorously.
The three people left. The young man was photographed and said in a daze: "It's really inexplicable that three grown men came all the way to find a dog."
The old police officer said: "You are confused, there are obviously two men and one woman."
The young man said: "I made them mad."
The three of them searched for a long time near City A and Liu Village, and finally returned to Yuyuan disappointedly. Bass was still alive, which was at least good news, but where could Bass be? Liucun was close to Yuyuan.
After more than a hundred kilometers, can it find its way home? Can it find something to eat? Is it seriously injured? Where will it sleep when it is tired? Will it encounter bad people again?
Everyone's thoughts about Bass were devoted to taking good care of Orange, but Orange was still in a bad mood. He barely ate something and still refused to leave the Black Gold Pavilion, as if he wanted to wait for Bas in the home he shared with Bas.
Si's return.
The seventh day when Bas was lost was the weekend. Xia Yu, Haoer, and Jiahui were taking care of the oranges in Wenxue Garden. The three of them were talking and heard the chaos outside, including the cheers of many children, and vaguely Bas.
Jiahui said excitedly: "It's Bas, it's Bas who's back." Orange had already rushed out, and the three of them also hurriedly walked out of Wenxue Garden. Xiaowei, Yifan, the children from Shuxiangzhai, Zuo Neighbor
The children in the right wing cheered and walked into the gate. The one walking in the front, limping and scarred, was our hero——Buzz!
Seeing the scarred Bass, everyone felt unspeakable sympathy. Jiahui and Haoer ran quickly to Bass. Bass was already exhausted, but when he saw his master, he gave up his last breath and barked.
Jiahui and Haoer hugged Bas at the same time, and Bas fell weakly into his master's arms. Orange gently licked Bas's body. Xiaowei caressed Bas and apologized, and Cao Weilin
He knelt down and looked at his son affectionately and said, "Xiaowei, you see Buzz is back and everything is fine. Don't blame yourself anymore. We will take more care of him in the future to compensate for the pain he has experienced, okay." Xiaowei
Say softly: "Okay, Dad."
Everyone in the manor came out to greet the heroic Bass, saying words of love, comfort and welcome. The sadness that had shrouded the manor for seven days disappeared, and joy returned to Sycamore Manor.
The people of Wutong Manor took good care of Bas, and Bas gradually recovered. Cao Weilin would review his homework with his son and Wang Yifan every day when he came back from work, or play table tennis with his two children, and tell them about the growth process of vegetables and crops.
, the gap between Xiaowei and his father gradually disappeared, and the atmosphere in the manor became more harmonious.
At the end of the summer vacation, Xia Min and Xiujun left the Yuyuan with their children. Haoer sent Xia Xuemeng to the university campus. The Yuyuan was still peaceful and beautiful.
After a heavy rain, the passion of the sun diminished greatly and became softer, more friendly and pleasant. It rained twice more in the next two weeks, and autumn came quietly. On a rainy night in autumn, the old people in the manor
Sitting in the living room, eating melon seeds, drinking tea, watching TV, and chatting, young people would rather sit in the corridor or in Yingxiu Pavilion, listening to the sound of the autumn rain falling, and talking about nothing.
As he spoke, the faint fragrance of flowers flowed in the cool air. Bath Orange listened to the master's vague conversation from a distance in the Black Gold Pavilion. The vegetables in the bamboo fence and the trees in fruiting period whispered quietly in the night rain.
This manor becomes more elegant and quiet on a rainy autumn night.
After the rain, the sky is usually sunny, with warm sunshine and wind, the sky is high and the clouds are clear, and the air is refreshing and pleasant. On days like this, Jiahui will take Bass Orange to the fields to look for delicious foods, corn, edamame, peanuts, sweet potatoes, all of them
Seasonal top-notch dishes, steamed, boiled, roasted and grilled, each have their own characteristics and flavor.
On this day, Lin Jiahui brought back more than a dozen corns from the field. Xia Yu said that corns are best eaten when burned, so Lin Jiahui specially set up a stove in the corner of Wenxue Garden in the afternoon, and waited until evening with Xia Yu and Hao
Let’s burn corn together and eat it.
Of course, Lin Jiahui didn't know how to cook a stove. Xia Bo wanted to help him. He said, "No, just teach me how to do it." He moved a chair and asked Xia Bo to sit aside and direct him. Lin Jiahui looked around.
Bricks, sand, cement, and straw were prepared for barbecue. After working for a whole afternoon, a small stove was ready.
During dinner, Lin Jiahui specially asked everyone to save some food for a delicious barbecue. After dinner, the three young people went to Wenxue Garden to roast corn. Seeing Lin Jiahui's masterpiece, Xia Yu said: "I can't tell
, you can still create such a stove."
Lin Jiahui smiled and said: "It all depends on Uncle Xia's guidance."
Haoer said: "My sister said that the roasted corn is delicious at noon, so you will cook it out in the afternoon. You are really good at pleasing my sister."
Lin Jiahui said: "Good Hao'er, please stop making fun of me. It's rare for me to do something for you."
Haoer said: "For us? You are for my sister, right?"
Lin Jiahui said: "Hey, don't you like eating roasted corn? You are getting benefits, but you still don't appreciate it."
Xia Yu said: "Okay, okay, please stop making trouble, I'm so greedy, hurry up and light up."
The three of them chatted and laughed and started to barbecue, but Haoer felt a little sour in his heart. The aroma of the roasted corn was really attractive. The three of them ate while cooking. After all the corn was cooked, they were full, so they put in the newly roasted corn.
The corn that came out was taken to the living room for the old people to eat. As soon as they entered the living room, the old people were happy. The mouths of the three children were all gray. The three children looked at each other and smiled. The old people said, go quickly.
After washing, the three of them went to wash themselves happily.
After more than ten days, the autumn harvest has begun. Autumn crops are mostly miscellaneous grains, so the autumn harvest is not as big and tense as the wheat harvest. After the autumn harvest, wheat is planted, and the work in the farmland comes to an end. The bustling area is the orchard, with spring flowers and autumn fruits, and picking.
During the season, both adults and children came together. The branches were covered with red apples, which looked so festive. The picking of the fruits lasted for a week. Haoer and Jiahui stayed in the orchard together for seven days.
The autumn air is crisp, the sky is clear, the sky is blue, the fruits are abundant, and there are crowds of people. Such a good harvest makes Haoer feel particularly good. He always has a smile on his face, and his attitude towards Lin Jiahui is also very friendly. Lin Jiahui loves to join in the fun, but this
This time he was not just joining in the fun, he was actually working. The blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, and red fruits were like walking into a fairy tale. Lin Jiahui stood on the ladder, picking fruits.
Even though his arms were sore, he didn't even complain about being tired. He picked two apples that were tightly packed together. They were red, shiny and beautiful. Jiahui happily said to Hao'er below: "Hao'er, look, there are so many apples.
It looks good. I want to take it back and give it to Xiao Yu." Hao'er felt inexplicably sad again, and the smile on his face was no longer bright. Ying He said, "Yes, it looks good. They are a perfect match." Lin Jiahui saw that Hao Er
He was displeased and said: "What's the matter, Hao'er, you're not happy, otherwise you take it back to Xiao Yu." The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was interested. Hao'er immediately became anxious: "What do you mean, Lin Jiahui?" Hao'er said.
Er's voice got louder, and people nearby looked over. Lin Jiahui hurriedly came down from the ladder, with a smile on his face, and said to others: "It's okay, it's okay, you continue." Lin Jiahui dragged Hao'er to the hut, where
Be quieter.
Lin Jiahui smiled and said: "Hao'er, please pay attention to your identity. You are the assistant of Yuyuan Company."
Hao'er ignored him, and Lin Jiahui simply got to the point: "Hao'er, do you like Xiao Yu?"
Hao'er became even more anxious: "Lin Jiahui, don't talk nonsense, she is my sister."
Lin Jiahui said: "But you are not siblings, you have the right to like her."
Hao'er said, "You're confused, I'm too lazy to tell you." Hao'er stood up to leave, but Lin Jiahui grabbed him and said, "Hao'er, there are some things we must make clear."
Hao'er had been struggling in his heart for a long time, so he simply stayed and listened to what Lin Jiahui had to say, and said, "If you have anything to say clearly, you can tell me."
Lin Jiahui said: "Hao'er, you still don't like me. I know I am idle and not doing my job and annoying people, but I think you hate me not only because of these, but also because I look like Wen Xuehui. You are jealous."
"I didn't." Hao'er didn't dare to admit.
Lin Jiahui said: "Why don't you dare to face——"
"What about you, Lin Jiahui, do you like my sister?" Haoer changed his target impatiently.
"Me?" Lin Jiahui was caught off guard: "Me? As you know, I don't care about anything."
"Why don't you care? There is nothing about my sister that makes you care."
"That's not what I meant."
"Then what do you mean?"
"Hao'er, actually, I haven't really been in love. It turns out that there are many girls hanging around me." Hao'er said in his heart: "Just you? Are there others hanging around you?" Lin Jiahui seemed to have heard Hao'er's words.
In my heart, I hurriedly said: "Really, I'm not going to lie to you, I don't know what they see in me, but since I was a child, my favorite thing is gambling. I never think there is any meaning in falling in love. Those women
The child gradually became bored and left."
Haoer said: "Okay, I don't want to hear about your love history. I want to ask you about your feelings towards my sister."
"I, I can't tell. Anyway, Xia Yu is different from other girls. In front of her, I feel very small and inferior. I, I'm a little afraid of her. I don't dare to refute anything she says.
.”
Hao'er said: "Who do you have to refute? My sister must be right."
Lin Jiahui said: "Anyway, I listened obediently to whatever she said. I have never been so obedient to anyone. Hao'er, do you think this counts as liking her?"
Haoer said: "What do you think?"
Lin Jiahui said: "I said, what's the use of saying it, Xiao Yu doesn't like me anyway."
Haoer said: "How could it be? You and Wen Xuehui look so similar, everyone thinks you are him."
Lin Jiahui said: "You said so, I just look like Wen Xuehui. Xiao Yu likes Wen Xuehui. She has never and cannot like me - Lin Jiahui." Lin Jiahui sighed softly, Haoer
It was obvious that this gangster who didn't care about anything was really moved. Lin Jiahui fell into helpless feelings. The two were silent for a while. Lin Jiahui suddenly realized that he was originally questioning Hao'er, but he was lured away by Hao'er unknowingly.
Lin Jiahui hurriedly said: "Hao'er, I've told you everything I'm thinking. It's your turn to say it. How do you feel about Xiao Yu?"
Hao'er said: "I, I don't know either. I never thought about this before you came. I have followed my sister since I was seventeen. She is my biological sister. For five years, there has been no other person around my sister.
Man, I was not used to you suddenly coming here, and I felt uncomfortable when I saw you getting close to her. Maybe I can get used to it slowly."
Lin Jiahui said: "Does this count as liking? Haoer."
"It doesn't matter, my sister and I are siblings." Haoer can't like his sister, that would be treason.
Lin Jiahui felt a trace of joy in his heart, and he felt that he was stupid. Haoer was obviously lying, but he would rather believe it. He asked stupidly: "Will Xiaoyu like you, Haoer?"
Hao'er smiled, Lin Jiahui was really an innocent big boy, Hao'er said: "You are stupid, you already said that my sister likes Wen Xuehui, she has never liked me, and can never like me - Cheng Hao."
Lin Jiahui seemed relieved and said happily: "Hao'er, what do you think of me? Do you hate me?"
Hao'er said: "I never said I hated you. If I hated you, I wouldn't have said so many words to you here. So, what about you, what do you think of me?"
"Me? Apart from my mother, the people in Wutong Manor are the people I love the most, including you." Both of them laughed.
The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lin Jiahui accompanied Aunt Lan and Chang to the city for shopping. Lin Jiahui had never accompanied his elders on such a large-scale shopping trip. The two old ladies were shopping around and bargaining. Lin Jiahui was a little irritable and a little nervous.
A little happiness, since the death of his mother, Jiahui has never had the opportunity to experience the happiness of going shopping with his mother. Sometimes he sees a young man accompanying an old lady shopping. The old lady is chattering while walking, and his son listens intentionally or unintentionally.
He envied that disturbing happiness. Now that he was with the two old ladies and listened to their chatter, Jiahui vaguely felt the long-lost happiness.
Two old ladies were buying fruits next to the fruit stall. Lin Jiahui stood far away. Aunt Lan said, "Jiahui, come here and help us pick." Lin Jiahui came over and said, "I think they are all good. Is there anything to choose from?"
Aunt Lan said: "Are you tired of shopping with us two old ladies?"
Lin Jiahui said: "No, I have nothing to do anyway."
Aunt Lan said: "You, you know you have nothing to do, why don't you spend your whole life shopping with our old lady?"
Lin Jiahui said: "Look, no matter what I say, it's wrong. Why are you nagging like my mother?"
Aunt Lan said: "Don't you think I'm nagging you?"
Aunt Chang finished picking the apples and answered: "Okay, Aunt Lan, don't scold him during the holidays. Let's go buy mooncakes."
Aunt Chang's words made Jiahui realize that this time he went shopping because of the Mid-Autumn Festival. He had not had the awareness to celebrate the festival for a long time. It made no difference to Lin Jiahui if he did not celebrate the festival. For many years, Lin Jiahui wandered around alone.
, every day is the same to him. When he wins money, he eats, drinks and has fun with his friends. When he loses money and is penniless, no one is willing to help him. When he gets sick, he gets injured in a fight.
, there will be no one to take care of him. Sometimes he also wants to return to his father, but it is rare for him to see his father. Occasionally he will have a meal with his father, and his father will scold him and ask him to do things that he is not interested in.
He would stay at his father's house for at most two or three days, and then he would flee that place. He couldn't remember which year he started, and he wouldn't even go home to celebrate the New Year. No matter what festival he had, it had no meaning to him.
"Jiahui, what kind of mooncakes do you like to eat?"
Aunt Lan's words changed the scene in front of Jiahui. He saw a large and bustling market with all kinds of mooncakes and food everywhere. The sellers were eagerly looking forward to the customers, and the buyers were looking around.
Bargaining, children pester adults for all kinds of snacks that are fun to look at but not necessarily delicious.
"Jiahui, what are you thinking about? What kind of mooncakes do you like to eat?"
"Oh, it's egg yolk."
"Okay, the boss wants some with egg yolks and some with jujube paste. Xiaoyu likes to eat them..."
Lin Jiahui accompanied Aunt Lan and Aunt Chang to buy various fruits, moon cakes, meat, winter melon, vermicelli, seafood... and returned home with a full load.
On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, after everyone had the reunion dinner, they went to Wenxue Garden to worship the Moon God. Aunt Xia led the women and set up a table in Wenxue Garden with various offerings. Jiahui habitually went to get them
When Xia Yu offered food on the table, he slapped his hand and said, "You are just greedy. Eat after the food is served."
Lin Jiahui said: "Why, you still have to submit a confession?"
Xia Yu said: "Of course, this is an offering, and you can only eat it after worshiping the Moon God."
Lin Jiahui said: "It turns out that you are also so superstitious."
Xia Yu said: "This is not called superstition, it is just a folk custom. Asking the moon god to bless everyone's health and safety expresses people's good wishes."
When all the people in the manor arrived, Aunt Xia lit incense and led the women to worship the moon god. After worshiping, Aunt Xia said: "Come on, eat some. These foods are stained with the aura of the moon. Eat them and bless everyone."
An'an." Everyone ate some symbolic moon cakes and fruits, and the old people went back to their houses. Hao'er had a cold in the past two days and was afraid of the cool breeze, so he went back to his room to rest. Lin Jiahui pestered Xia Yu to stay and chat.
.
The moonlight was like water, the cool air was filled with the fragrance of flowers and fruits, swimming around, and the chirping of autumn insects was particularly lively. Lin Jiahui was still chewing something in his mouth and said: "Xiaoyu, why don't men worship the moon god?"
Xia Yu said: "This is also a custom. The custom of Yuyuan is that men do not worship gods."
Lin Jiahui said: "Then the man does not need the blessing of gods?"
Xia Yu said: "Men have women to protect them."
Lin Jiahui said: "Then will you protect me?"
Xia Yu said: "Of course I will. I ask the gods to bless all the people in Yuyuan with health and safety."
Lin Jiahui said: "Hey, if you bless so many people, the gods will think you are too greedy and ineffective."
Xia Yu smiled and said, "The gods are not as narrow-minded as you."
Lin Jiahui said: "How can I be so petty? I just prayed to God in my heart to bless all the people in Wutong Manor to be safe and happy."
Hao'er returned to the room and turned on the TV, half lying on the bed. He knew that his sister and Lin Jiahui were chatting in Wenxue Garden, and he absentmindedly changed the channel. For five years, Hao'er has always regarded Xia Yu as his sister, and he respects Xia Yu
, admire Xia Yu, like Xia Yu like a younger brother likes a sister, Xia Yu has become a part of his life, but suddenly Lin Jiahui came, Haoer's feelings for Xia Yu were suddenly confused, and he himself couldn't figure out what he felt about Xia Yu.
In addition to sister-sister love, does Yu have other feelings? In short, when he saw Lin Jiahui and Xia Yu together, he felt uncomfortable, but he also knew very well that he must not have any wrong thoughts about his sister. That was
It's disrespectful to his sister, maybe just like what he said to Lin Jiahui, he is just not used to having another man next to his sister, but when will he get used to Lin Jiahui standing next to Xia Yu?
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, City A was planning to hold a township enterprise meeting with the theme of environmental protection. The location was chosen in Yuyuan because Yuyuan was the township enterprise that did the best in environmental protection in the city. However, Xia Yu refused to host such a meeting.
After dinner, Xia Bo came to his daughter's room. Xia Yu was reading a book about business management. He quickly put down the book, asked his father to sit down, and said, "Dad, what can I do?"
Xia Bo said: "Xiaoyu, today your Uncle Liu called home and asked why you refused to host the city's meeting?"
Xia Yu said: "Which Uncle Liu?"
Xia Bo said: "When I was the director of the Municipal and Township Enterprises, he was still the section chief of the Agricultural Bureau, and he even came to our house."
Xia Yu said: "Dad, I just want to farm and do business according to my duties. I am not interested in this kind of meeting."
Xia Bo said: "Xiaoyu, Dad knows what you are thinking. For so many years, you have locked yourself in Yuyuan. Except for going out to discuss business, you never leave Yuyuan, and you don't contact the outside world. You don't even go to the city.
Look at your sister, she doesn't keep in touch with your best friend. Some things have been forgotten for many years, so why do you still care so much?" Xia Yu's parents have always avoided these topics, fearing that their daughter would be sad if they talked about it.
But Xia Bo knew that his daughter would never be happy unless the knot in his heart was untied.
Xia Yu said: "Dad, please stop talking. Others can forget some things, but I won't. I will never forget."
Xia Bo said: "Xiao Yu, dad hopes you can be happy."
Xia Yu said: "Dad, I am very happy in Yuyuan."
Xia Bo said: "But the outside world is very big. If you are unwilling to face the outside world, you will never be truly happy."
Xia Yu was silent, and both father and daughter felt uncomfortable.
Xia Bo said: "Xiaoyu, Dad knows that you have suffered a lot, and Dad should not have kicked you out in the first place."
Xia Yu said: "Dad, it has nothing to do with you."
Lin Jiahui happened to come in at this time. When he heard these two words from the father and daughter, he was a little confused. He had knocked on the door, but he only heard someone talking inside. He couldn't tell whether he answered or not, so he opened the door and came in.
Hearing such words, Lin Jiahui knew that he came at the wrong time and did not know whether to advance or retreat.
Seeing Jiahui come in, Xia Bo went out without saying a word. Xia Yu looked at his father's back and suddenly realized that his father was really old. He was almost seventy years old and still worried about his daughter. Xia Yu felt sad. If Lin Jiahui hadn't been there,
Xia Yu's tears were about to fall.
Lin Jiahui said: "Xiaoyu, did I come at the wrong time?"
Xia Yu said: "Nothing, is there something wrong?"
Lin Jiahui said: "It's okay, I want to chat with you for a while."
Xia Yu said: "Okay, sit down."
Lin Jiahui sat down and asked curiously: "Just now, Uncle Xia said he kicked you out. Is it true?"
Xia Yu said: "Yes."
Lin Jiahui said: "Uncle Xia, who is so kind and loves you so much, actually kicked you out of the house? Why?"
Xia Yu said: "Because I did something wrong."
Lin Jiahui said: "You will do something wrong again, what will you do?"
Xia Yu said: "I will tell you later."
Lin Jiahui knew that he had asked something he shouldn't have asked, and he also knew that there were some things that he was not qualified to know. He quickly changed the topic to himself and said: "Actually, I was kicked out of the house by my dad. In my dad's eyes,
I have never done anything right since I was a child, and he would scold me whenever he saw me. As for you, you must have been a good boy since you were a child. Your father is not used to doing something wrong occasionally."
Lin Jiahui's words amused Xia Yu, and she also joked: "It would be strange if your father doesn't scold you for being greedy for a son like you."
Lin Jiahui said: "What's wrong with me? Apart from gambling, I haven't done any bad things since I was a child. Besides, gambling is nothing if you are willing to accept defeat and don't steal or rob."
Xia Yu said: "You are making excuses for yourself, and you don't want to think about whether you have done anything serious since you were a child."
Lin Jiahui said: "That's not true. By the way, Uncle Xia kicked you out, have you ever blamed him?"
Xia Yu said: "No, I did something wrong. My father also hates iron, so he drove me away when he was angry. Parents always love their children."
Lin Jiahui said thoughtfully, "In that case, I shouldn't blame my dad."
Xia Yu said: "Of course, your father scolds you because he thinks you are not living up to expectations. He hopes that you will be motivated and promising, so that you can take care of yourself in the future. Do you want to live like this for the rest of your life?"
Lin Jiahui said: "My father said the same thing, but I can't listen to it. If you say it, I think it makes sense."
"Hey, who ate the honey? Your mouth is so sweet." The door was open, and Hao'er came in and heard Lin Jiahui's words.
Lin Jiahui saw that it was Haoer and said, "I ate honey. If you are unhappy, you can eat it too."
Hao'er said: "I'm too lazy to care about you."
Lin Jiahui said: "I know you ignore me with your mouth, but you consider me a good brother in your heart."
Haoer said: "You are so beautiful."
Xia Yu said: "Okay, stop making trouble, Haoer, call the city tomorrow and we will host this township enterprise meeting."
Hao'er said: "Sister, you agreed."
Xia Yu nodded. Lin Jiahui asked curiously: "What kind of meeting is it? It's going to be held in Yuyuan. There must be a lot of people coming. I like the excitement the most."
Hao'er said: "You, you don't know, you think you are in your teens and act like a child all day long."
Lin Jiahui said: "This shows that I have a good mentality."
Hao'er said: "Of course you have a good attitude, you don't do anything, you have food and drink."
Lin Jiahui said: "Hey, what do you mean? Do you think Xiaoyu has assigned you too much work and it's too hard? You don't have to do it. Xiaoyu will also take care of your food and drink."
Hao'er said: "You are making trouble unreasonably."
Xia Yu said: "Okay, stop arguing. You two bicker when you meet. You were enemies in your last life. Okay, okay, let's go back to the room and rest."
On October 10th, "Protect the Environment, Love My Homeland - The 10th Township Enterprise Meeting of City A" was held in Yuyuan.
In the morning, the director of the Environmental Protection Bureau read out the "Environmental Protection Initiative", and the director of the Township Enterprise Bureau made a report on "Environmental Protection Starts with Me".
In the afternoon, the participating leaders and heads of various enterprises visited Yuyuan's factories and companies. Liu Tingji, who led the team, was Xia Yu's high school classmate. He asked to identify his old classmate's home, so everyone went to Wutong Manor.
Liu Tingji joked with his old classmate: "Xia Yu, you really live like a fairy. Yuyuan is simply a paradise, and Wutong Manor is like the Peach Blossom Temple in Taohuawu."
Xia Yu said: "My Peach Blossom Nunnery is probably no more valuable than a unit in your city. A piece of jewelry and jade from you city dwellers is worth a piece of my garden. Everyone has their own preferences."
At the end of the meeting, everyone unanimously asked Xia Yu to speak, so Xia Yu made this speech:
"Standing here, I don't know what to say. I am just an ordinary citizen of Yuyuan. I love Yuyuan. I love every plant and tree in Yuyuan. All the people and even all life in Yuyuan are working for Yuyuan.
We will work hard for the development of the garden, the environment of the rain garden and everything about the rain.
Everyone here just went to Wutong Manor. You may have seen my two hounds. Their names are Bass and Orange. During this year's holiday, Bass Orange rescued a five-year-old hound from two traffickers.
Bas, a year-old child, was injured and was taken away from Yuyuan by the bad guys. In Liu Village, which is more than 100 kilometers away from Yuyuan, Bas escaped from the clutches of the bad guys. His life and death were uncertain. The children lost their
Buzz was sad and shed tears. Orange blamed itself for not being able to save its friend. It refused to eat or leave the place where it and Bas lived together. We all thought that we would never see Buzz again.
It was a shame, but seven days later, our Buzz returned to the Rain Garden after a long journey, scarred and exhausted. The children cheered for Buzz’s return, and Orange barked excitedly for the return of his partner. We couldn’t imagine that in seven days,
What pain and suffering Buzz went through, but he finally returned to the Rain Garden and to all his friends.
I believe that my Bass Orange has a sharp mind and a kind heart. Every plant and tree in the rain garden is alive. If we treat these lives well, they will reward us with blue sky and green water, birds singing and fragrance of flowers, and even joy, sincerity and harmony.
Friendship, if we pollute, cut down, and kill unscrupulously, they will also retaliate against us with plague, drought, and dust. When we destroy the environment, we also destroy ourselves.
Let us work together to have a beautiful home for all life."
The conference room burst into applause.
After the meeting, Liu Tingji said: "Xia Yu, thank you very much for your support of this meeting."
Xia Yu said: "No need to thank me, I just hope that you will really pay attention to environmental protection, instead of just being a formality and shouting slogans."
"As old classmates say, we will definitely work hard. By the way, our classmates have a party every Spring Festival. You must attend this year."
Liu Tingji is the chief of the Management Section of the Township Enterprise Bureau. He is young and vigorous, and his career is at its peak. In high school, there were 60 and 70 people in the class. Everyone was busy studying. Liu Tingji and Xia Yu were not familiar with each other. They went to university and went their separate ways.
Until he started working, he didn’t have many contacts. Later, Xia Yu suddenly ran away from home. The news was quickly conveyed to every classmate. Everyone talked about it and expressed their opinions. Only then did Liu Tingji learn something about Xia Yu from other classmates.
A few years later, Yuyuan was rated as a municipal-level civilized village. The county magistrate mentioned Xia Yu’s name when making a report. The news was quickly conveyed to every student. Xia Yu became mysterious in the hearts of the students.
, Liu Tingji met Xia Yu this time and learned about some of Xia Yu's current situation. This was really an extra gain from this meeting. When he returned to the city, he could hold a press conference in front of his classmates again.
