Xiao Zheng always believed that the old man he saw before he fell into the river in front of Zhuangyuan Street was real.
He was drunk that time, but he still clearly remembered that the good cigarettes and wine he brought were undoubtedly given to the old man. Later, he and Xiao Jingyu changed clothes at the Bailu Hotel, and they couldn't buy any cold medicine for the time being.
A stranger also sent them medicine to dispel cold and dampness, and neither of them caught a cold afterwards.
On that day, it seemed that only the old man knew that he had appeared in the old city. The old man was also the most likely person to know that he and Xiao Jingyu fell into the water. The old man was also the most likely to send the soup. So, the medicine was so accurate.
, the effect is so good, this old man is probably the "Zhou Muyun" he is looking for.
Even if the old man is not "Zhou Muyun", he is still an expert who lives in seclusion in the city. Xiao Zheng should pay him a visit. Maybe he can also cure the illness of Director Fang Ya of the Provincial Party Committee Propaganda Department? So, starting from Li Haiyan
After leaving the youth cadre dormitory, Xiao Zheng asked Xiao Zhong to drive towards the old city.
At the intersection, Xiao Zheng said: "I'll walk in first, and you can park the car and come find me." Xiao Zhong was a little worried: "County Magistrate Xiao, why don't I accompany you there before I park the car?" Today
Xiao Zheng did not take Sha Hai with him, and asked him to stay in the county and contact him at any time if anything happened. Therefore, Xiao Zhong not only assumed the responsibility of the driver, but also to a certain extent the task of protecting the leader. This was what Sha Hai had told him.
.
Xiao Zheng said, "It's broad daylight. Nothing will happen. Don't worry. Just park your car and come find me." Xiao Zheng wanted to take a walk and take a look at the living conditions of the people in this old city.
Walking into the alley, Xiao Zheng still felt a sense of familiarity, because he had been here several times recently, and the impression was quite deep. This area is woven together by large and small alleys, and in the afternoon, there are both pedestrians and bicycles ringing their bells.
Ding sounds can also be heard, and the voices of adults scolding naughty children can also be heard. There are still soot stoves at the door of several houses. They are lighting the stoves with fans, and a plume of blue smoke spins into the sky.
Xiao Zheng feels that this old city is backward and poor, but it has a kind of tranquility that is rare in the city and a sense of comfort and leisure that is rare for ordinary citizens. This old city has its own charm. If it can be well protected, developed and utilized,
Maybe it can also attract foreign tourists to linger here.
Over the years, Xiao Zheng worked hard and won strong support from his superiors. He transformed places like Fengqi Village and Baishuiwan Village, where the environment was seriously damaged and the health of the villagers were seriously threatened, into green waters and lush mountains, and the people became richer and richer.
, the village is getting stronger and stronger, which gives him greater confidence. As long as the government leads well, the leaders design well, and the following implements it well, no matter how poor or difficult the place is, it can bloom brilliantly. More
Needless to say, this kind of old city already has history, culture, and settled folk customs.
If given the chance, Xiao Zheng really wanted to "dare to teach the old city a new look." Of course, now that Xiao Zheng is still in An County, this beautiful idea can only be kept in his mind for the time being until he has the opportunity to talk about it in the future.
Walking deeper into the alley, Xiao Zheng soon found the old doorway. Xiao Zheng sat here drinking for the first time, and then met the old man. The second time he came with Zhang Yihong and Xiao Zhong,
A girl wearing a cheongsam came to open the door. This was Xiao Zheng's third time here. Xiao Zheng knocked on the door, wondering who would open the door this time?
No one answered the door at first, so Xiao Zheng continued to knock on the door. This time someone responded: "Wait a minute, I'll be here." It was still a woman's voice, which was somewhat similar to the little girl's voice last time, but it didn't seem to be quite the same.
Yes. Xiao Zheng was waiting at the door with curiosity. After a while, someone came to open the door. It was a woman wearing a white coat, with an oval face, beautiful features, hair tied behind her head, and she looked like the little girl he saw last time.
The girls are very similar, but today's woman seems to have a little more flesh on her face, and she seems to be a few years older. But if you want to say that she is the girl in the cheongsam last time, I'm afraid it's not impossible, because it is really
Very similar.
But this woman seemed to not know Xiao Zheng at all, and asked: "Who are you looking for?" Xiao Zheng said: "Hello, I came here last time, and I seem to have met you. Is this phone number?
Did you give it to me?"
Xiao Zheng took out a piece of paper with a phone number written on it. This was the phone number left for him by the cheongsam girl he met last time. The phone number on it belonged to the little girl's mother and asked him to call in advance to make an appointment.
Time. Xiao Zheng has always kept this number.
The woman smiled slightly and said: "This is written by my daughter." "Your daughter?" Xiao Zheng couldn't help but glance at the woman again and said: "I can't believe it..." The woman smiled softly again: "What can't be expected?
Xiao Zheng said: "First, I didn't expect that you and your daughter look so similar; second, I didn't expect that you are so young and already have such a big daughter." The woman smiled again and said, "Thank you for the compliment. But I am not old anymore."
Little. My daughter told me that a man came to see an old man and said he would come again in the future."
Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "Yes." The woman looked at him and said, "How about you come in first." Xiao Zheng looked in and said, "Are you home alone? Your daughter is not here?"
The woman said: "My daughter has gone back to school. She is studying in Hai. The last time you came here, she happened to be back on vacation." "Oh, is that so?" Xiao Zheng nodded, "If you are at home alone, I can't go in."
Isn't it too convenient?" The woman said: "I don't think you are a bad person. Besides, I'm not afraid of bad people either." The woman said so firmly, as if she had full control.
This was the first time Xiao Zheng met such a woman who was alone at home. He smiled and said, "Then I will bother you for a while." The woman turned around and said, "Come with me."
Xiao Zheng followed the woman into the door and felt that there was a cave inside. It was like a corridor that was neither long nor short. It was quite empty, but it had wooden floors and elegant calligraphy and paintings on the walls, faintly smelling of ink. Entering inside, there was a
There is a small patio. There is a simple water tank in the patio. It is full of clear water and holds a piece of water lily. The autumn weather has dyed it incomplete, and this incompleteness adds to the authenticity of life. Next to it is a small water lily.
In the straight corridor, there are still ink paintings on the wall, but the protagonist is an ancient doctor. As you walk along, you can see the paintings on the left and the lotus on the right.
Xiao Zheng followed the woman. Her figure hidden in the white coat was slender and well-proportioned. Perhaps because of the clothing, it gave people a kind of natural attraction and inexplicable association. In Xiao Zheng's mind, he was secretly surprised by the beauty of human nature.
It’s amazing that when a man and a woman are alone together, if the other person’s appearance and temperament attract you, it will most likely arouse some of your imagination and desires. Perhaps this is what the Creator implanted in mankind to ensure the continuation of mankind.
Program?
What makes Xiao Zheng even more strange is that the woman in front of him should know that she is talented in terms of appearance, figure, and temperament, but why is she so relieved to let a strange man like him enter this place with him?
Woolen cloth?
After passing the small corridor, there is another cave. This space looks like a reception room, with an elegant set of wooden sofas divided into two parts. One side is a place that can accommodate a dozen people for tea, and the other side is
A large study room with bookshelves on the walls, neatly arranged with books from top to bottom. In between is a large desk similar to that in a library, with unread volumes piled on top. Xiao Zhengrou
At a glance, these books are mainly medical books, there are also historical classics, and there are even some science and technology, geography and novel books.
The whole room is made of wooden structure, elegant and elegant, with a strong cultural atmosphere. Xiao Zheng couldn't help but asked: "My name is Xiao Zheng, what is your surname?" The woman said: "My surname is Su, Menglan; my daughter's name is Su
Yuchen." Xiao Zheng asked for details on how to write it, and the woman told him one by one.
Xiao Zheng felt that this mother Su Menglan was indeed more elegant and gentle than her daughter "Su Yuchen" in terms of name. The girl who received him last time was sharper than her mother. Moreover, the person in front of him
Ms. Su, although her temperament is a bit cold, her speech is gentle and warm.
Xiao Zheng looked around the living room again and asked: "Ms. Su, are you from a scholarly family and a medical family?" Su Menglan said: "How can you count? It's just that someone in the family is a doctor, and he is a doctor. I
I just followed him to learn a little bit, and then I went to study for some time, and I can only say that I have a "little understanding". Please sit down, I'm making black tea, Mr. Xiao, let's have a cup of tea together."
Sure enough, on the coffee table in front of the sofa, there was a small pot with a short candle lit underneath, which was boiling tea. The fragrance of black tea was faintly overflowing at this moment. Xiao Zheng was indeed thirsty at this moment, so he said: "
Thank you." Now that he is here and has plenty of time, Xiao Zheng plans to relax and get to know the people and things in this house. Everything in this house is new and mysterious to him.
An area he had never understood.
Su Menglan smiled faintly, took a white porcelain tea cup, poured a cup for Xiao Zheng, and said: "This is Jin Junmei, you can have a taste." When Xiao Zheng picked up the tea cup, Su Menglan suddenly asked: "Mr. Xiao
, what time is it now?" Xiao Zheng looked at his watch and said, "It's about two forty." Su Menglan smiled slightly again and said, "Okay, thank you."
Xiao Zheng found that although her temperament was cold, she loved to laugh. In a short period of time, she had laughed many times. Although they were all faint smiles, they gave people a very comfortable feeling, as if in winter.
The daffodils are not too hot, but they are very comfortable.
Xiao Zheng put the tea cup to his mouth. The aroma of the tea was very strong. It was slightly different from the tea brewed on ordinary days and more mellow. Xiao Zheng took a sip and quenched his thirst very much. He couldn't help but take a few sips in a row and drank all the tea.
Finally, he put down the tea cup and said: "This tea is really..."
When Xiao Zheng woke up, he found that he was lying on the sofa. Su Menglan was still sitting on the other sofa, holding a book and reading leisurely.
Seeing Xiao Zheng sitting up, she smiled lightly and said, "Mr. Xiao, are you awake?"
Xiao Zheng was very puzzled. He actually fell asleep just now? He raised his hand and saw that it was already "three-thirty". "I slept for almost an hour?"
"Yes." Su Menglan put down the book and smiled, "Before, Mr. Xiao asked me why I dared to let you in when I was alone at home? I said, I am not afraid of bad people. This is why I am not afraid of bad people."
Xiao Zheng suddenly realized that there might be hypnotic drugs in the tea just now! He drank it and fell asleep! At this time, he couldn't help being surprised. Fortunately, the woman opposite did not mean to harm anyone.
