Qiao Liang said, "In addition to the investment investigation, I also want to revisit my old place. I haven't been here again since I returned from my temporary job in Liangbei. To be honest, I miss Liangbei quite a bit. I regard Liangbei as my second place."
I’m my hometown, I’m coming here this time, I want to take some time to visit Liangbei.”
Liu Ying nodded, "You might as well go back and take a look."
The two chatted for a while, and Liu Ying took the initiative and said, "I will say hello to the company's management and let them see if there are any projects that can be matched with you."
Qiao Liang looked at Liu Ying and said, "Liu Ying, you can also come to Daguan to have fun. The Xifeng Canyon Scenic Area in Daguan is very interesting. Don't stay in the temple all the time. You should walk around. Maybe your mentality will become more open-minded.
."
Liu Ying smiled and said, "I will go if I have the chance. Isn't my current mentality very open-minded?"
Qiao Liang was speechless. Maybe he was obsessed with life. Maybe the life he had now was exactly what Liu Ying wanted?
In the afternoon, under An Zhe's arrangement, Qiao Liang would visit another well-known large enterprise in Jincheng, so Qiao Liang did not chat with Liu Ying for too long.
The busy day passed quickly. At around five o'clock in the afternoon, after finishing the day's schedule, Qiao Liang borrowed a car from Liu Ying and drove to Liangbei by himself.
On the highway, Qiao Liang drove the car quickly. Along the way, he saw familiar scenery. Qiao Liang had walked on this highway from Jincheng to Liangbei countless times. He was too familiar with everything here.
When passing the city's expressway exit, Qiao Liang hesitated for a moment and drove directly there. Instead of getting off the expressway in the city, he headed directly to Liangbei. He didn't have enough time, and he didn't have much time to waste time in the city.
The northwest is vast and sparsely populated. Qiao Liang drove very fast on the expressway from Jincheng to Liangbei. It took more than three hours to reach Liangbei.
After getting off the highway, Qiao Liang, who had not had dinner yet, drove the car slowly around the county, and finally stopped at the entrance of the county compound in the center of the county.
After sleeping in the car for a while, Qiao Liang got out of the car. Looking at the county compound where he had worked for more than a year, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion. He wanted to go in and walk around, but hesitated for a moment and gave up. Things have changed and people have changed.
Ding Xiaoyun was transferred to the city, and now he is posted in Jiangzhou. He doesn't have any close friends here, so there is no need to go in.
Qiao Liang got in the car, started the car and headed to County No. 1 Middle School, not far from the county compound.
Just as Qiao Liang got into the car and left, one of the two staff members who came out of the county compound looked at Qiao Liang's car and said doubtfully, "The one who got in the car just now seems to be County Magistrate Qiao."
Another person wondered, "Which County Magistrate Qiao? Where did the county magistrate named Qiao come from in our county?"
The speaker laughed and scolded, "Look at your bad memory, wasn't the one who came from Jiangzhou to work as County Magistrate Qiao?"
Another person suddenly realized, "Oh, you are talking about that County Magistrate Qiao. I think you are just blind. How could he be here? He should be in Guanzhou City now, but now he is already here
He is the leader of the city team."
Qiao Liang has been away for almost two years. He probably didn't expect that many people in the county would pay close attention to him and would pay attention to his news from time to time. At least many people knew that he was the former deputy county magistrate.
I have made rapid progress in the past two years, been promoted twice in a row, and now I have become a deputy department-level cadre.
Some people are thinking about and commemorating it, which just shows that Qiao Liang did something good when he was posted in Liangbei. Although he and the then county magistrate Shang Ke slapped the table and glared at each other, but he was very kind to the staff below.
Many people miss Qiao Liang.
County No. 1 Middle School, Qiao Liang drove here. Because vehicles outside the school could not enter the school, Qiao Liang parked the car outside, registered himself and walked into the school.
Qiao Liang had no special purpose for coming here, he just wanted to see Ma Yuanxiang.
Qiao Liang has always kept a good memory of this woman with whom he had a close relationship, but now it is limited to memories. When he first returned to Jiangzhou, his contact with Ma Yuanxiang was still relatively close, and Ma Yuanxiang would often take the initiative to give her
He sent messages, including some relatively intimate words. But as time went by, the contact between the two gradually became less frequent. I don’t know when, but it seemed that only greetings during the holidays were left. Qiao Liang responded to this
He has long been relieved. Time is the best medicine for forgetting everything. When he left Liangbei, he asked Ma Yuanxiang if he would go to Jiangzhou with her, and she chose to stay in Liangbei. Qiao Liang knew that the two of them would eventually forget each other.
In the world of rivers and lakes, there will always be many passers-by in a person's life, gathering and separation are the normal state of life.
He came to see Ma Yuanxiang tonight, not because he wanted to relive his old dream, but because he wanted to visit an old friend.
Walking on campus, at this time, students had not yet finished their evening self-study, and the lights in the classroom were as bright as day. Qiao Liang took out his mobile phone and found Ma Yuanxiang's phone number. Looking at the number he had not contacted for a long time, Qiao Liang's fingertips
If the phone stays on the screen, you will feel hesitant and don't know whether to make this call.
There was less contact between the two, and he actually didn't know Ma Yuanxiang's current situation. If she already had a partner, it would be a bit abrupt for him to make this call.
"Qiao...Qiao Liang?"
When Qiao Liang hesitated, a surprised and slightly uncertain voice sounded in front of him.
Qiao Liang looked up, and a smile appeared on his face, Ma Yuanxiang.
The crowd searched for him thousands of times, but he was in the dim light.
This sentence flashed through Qiao Liang's mind. Looking at Ma Yuanxiang, who had hardly changed at all, and had even become more beautiful, he couldn't help but smile, "Are you surprised to see me?"
Ma Yuanxiang's eyes were a little moist, and she nodded subconsciously. The expression on her face already showed her mood at this time.
"You...why are you here?" After a long time, Ma Yuanxiang finally spoke out, looking at Qiao Liang with eyes still full of disbelief. She never thought that Qiao Liang would suddenly appear in front of her.
"If I said I came to see you, would you believe it?" Qiao Liang joked.
"I believe it." Ma Yuanxiang nodded lightly, but Qiao Liang still noticed that Ma Yuanxiang was hesitant when answering this sentence.
Qiao Liang smiled and looked at Ma Yuanxiang, "Want to take a walk in the school playground?"
Ma Yuanxiang nodded, "Okay."
The two of them walked towards the playground. Because the students were studying in the evening, the huge playground seemed very quiet. Occasionally they saw people walking, most of whom were school teachers.
Ma Yuanxiang hesitated several times, but did not speak.
The two of them walked quietly like this. Qiao Liang glanced at Ma Yuanxiang's face several times and took the initiative to say, "You haven't changed at all, and you are even younger."
"Really?" Ma Yuanxiang touched her cheek. Women like to be praised, and Ma Yuanxiang was no exception. She raised her head and glanced at Qiao Liang, "Are all of you officials so good at talking?"
Qiao Liang grinned, "Where are you going? I'm telling the truth."
Ma Yuanxiang pursed her lips and smiled. To say that she had become younger, some teachers in the school also said so. Ma Yuanxiang knew that maybe after her husband fell ill and passed away, she no longer needed to run around and work as much as before, and her mentality was much better.
Not only have I gained a little weight in two years, but I also look younger.
Ma Yuanxiang was actually thin in the past, but now she is really just right, plump*, which is the best state of a woman. Not only has she become more charming now, but also because she is single, there are many people pursuing her.
After a moment of silence, Ma Yuanxiang suddenly asked, "Did you really come back to Liangbei specifically to see me?"
Qiao Liang smiled and said truthfully, "I am leading a team to the northwest for investment investigation. I thought I never came back after leaving Liangbei, so I wanted to come over and have a look, and I could also see you."
When Ma Yuanxiang heard this, she felt a little disappointed. The next moment, Ma Yuanxiang relaxed and looked sideways at Qiao Liang, thinking that it would be better to keep some things in her memories.
The two of them walked quietly, and Qiao Liang's stomach suddenly growled, and the sound was quite loud. Ma Yuanxiang stopped and winked at Qiao Liang, "You haven't had dinner yet, have you?"
Qiao Liang chuckled, "It's true that I haven't eaten yet."
Only then did Qiao Liang feel hungry, otherwise she would have forgotten that she hadn't eaten dinner yet.
Ma Yuanxiang smiled and said, "Let's go to my house."
Ma Yuanxiang's home is near the school. Qiao Liang has been there before. It is an older building.
At this moment, Ma Yuanxiang took the initiative to invite, and Qiao Liang was not pretentious. He followed Ma Yuanxiang to the house. Ma Yuanxiang said, "Qiao Liang, you watch TV in the living room first, and I will cook a bowl of egg noodles for you."
Qiao Liang smiled when he heard this, "Then I won't be polite to you. My stomach is really hungry."
Qiao Liang had tasted Ma Yuanxiang's cooking skills more than once before. In the same room, he had eaten the food cooked by Ma Yuanxiang himself. After the two had a drink, the atmosphere became natural, and they naturally started to enjoy the wonderful things between men and women.
These things have become beautiful memories in my mind.
The noodles were cooked quickly. Ma Yuanxiang quickly brought a bowl of fragrant egg noodles to the dining table and smiled at Qiao Liang, "Come and eat it. It's better to eat while it's hot."
Qiao Liang came over, sniffed, and said with a smile, "It smells so good. Because of your cooking skills, whoever marries you will be lucky."
Ma Yuanxiang smiled softly, sat down opposite Qiao Liang, held her chin in her hand, and just watched Qiao Liang eating quietly.
After looking at Qiao Liang for a moment, Ma Yuanxiang suddenly said, "Qiao Liang, if I go to Jiangzhou to join you now, would you still be willing?"
Qiao Liang was stunned for a moment, stopped holding the chopsticks in his hand, and said with a smile, "If you don't want to do this, just come."
Ma Yuanxiang smiled and said, "Are you trying to deal with me, or are you just telling me what you mean?"
Qiao Liang said with a smile, "Of course I mean it from my heart, but I know you are joking."
Ma Yuanxiang looked stunned, "Why do you think I'm joking?"
Qiao Liang said, "If you wanted to go to Jiangzhou, you would have gone there a long time ago. When I was about to leave Liangbei, you would have chosen to leave with me."
