Although he was in the office of the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, at this moment Liang Jian did not regard Hu Xiaoying as a deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, but as a woman he cared about. For this reason, Liang Jian's stubborn temper rose, and he
Said: "If I don't live with you, I won't get married."
Hu Xiaoying said: "Liang Jian, it is impossible for us to get married. We both know this very well. But this does not prevent us from being together." Liang Jian looked at Hu Xiaoying in disbelief: "If I marry someone else, how can we
Still together?"
Hu Xiaoying closed her eyes, as if in great pain. After a while, she opened her eyes and said to Liang Jian, "What's wrong with this?"
Liang Jian couldn't believe that Hu Xiaoying would say such a thing. Liang Jian asked: "Could it be that you would rather be a mistress than marry me?"
Hu Xiaoying said: "I don't care about a status. However, I cannot accept that the two of us will destroy our hard-earned future because of marriage." Liang Jian asked: "You are not willing to let go of your current position?"
When he spoke out, Liang Jian felt a hint of meanness in himself.
However, Hu Xiaoying must not agree to marry him, which made him a little confused for a moment before he said such words. Hu Xiaoying's face began to turn red, but she did not have an attack. After a while, she said: "Indeed, I don't want to let go of my current life."
position, my official title. I spent my whole youth to earn these, and I don’t want to lose them again. You have been going smoothly all the way, and you may not realize how precious it is now, but I know that the reason why political life is
It becomes 'life' because political life is like life, if it is lost, it will never come back."
Hu Xiaoying's words were still ringing in Liang Jian's ears when he walked out of the municipal party committee building. "The reason why political life becomes 'life' is because political life is the same as life. If it is lost, it will never come back...
…”
Liang Jian kept thinking about this sentence and thought to himself, is it really because he doesn't cherish the position he has obtained enough? Is what Hu Xiaoying said the truth?
No matter what, one thing is certain, that is, between choosing power and choosing Liang Jian, Hu Xiaoying chose power. This made Liang Jian somewhat disappointed. Many times, men fantasize that a woman will like him more than anything else.
But if he digs deeper, he will find that this is not the case at all.
How many successful men dare to face it, if he did not have his current status and power, would the women surrounding him still throw themselves at him? Most of them would not care about a penniless man.
, he who is powerless will probably cast a look of disdain on him. He may even despise himself more than others.
Liang Jian asked himself again, if Hu Xiaoying was just an ordinary woman, could he still love her and care about her as much as he does now? He was really not sure.
"Secretary Liang, are we going back to the county?" the driver asked. For a moment, Liang Jian really didn't know where he was going. His mind was a little confused. After a while, Liang Jian said to the driver: "
Let’s go back to the county first.”
At this time, Wang Xueping's call came in. She said, "Secretary Liang, how about tomorrow?" Liang Jian was a little dazed and asked, "How about tomorrow?" Wang Xueping said, "Invite reporters to dinner." Liang Jian then remembered.
, I mentioned this matter to Wang Xueping and said, "Okay, let's do it tomorrow."
Wang Xueping asked: "Secretary Liang, have you come back from Yongzhou?" Liang Jian said: "You just came back not long ago." Wang Xueping said: "Secretary Liang, your voice sounds a little low, there is nothing unhappy about it.
Bar?"
Wang Xueping is very sensitive. She seems to be particularly able to sense Liang Jian's subtle psychological activities. Her question just now made Liang Jian feel particularly considerate. He almost said: "Xue Ping, come and stay with me tonight?"
But he quickly suppressed his idea, because Hu Xiaoying was unhappy, and if he went to Wang Xueping, he would be venting his anger. This would not only be irresponsible to himself, but also unfair to Wang Xueping.
At this time, he would rather choose to find a place to stay quietly by himself. The car had already started to drive out of the city, and Liang Jian suddenly said to the driver: "Gu Hua, it's better not to go back to the county. We don't have time."
It's early, you'd better take me home."
Gu Hua heard what Liang Jian said and said happily: "Okay, Secretary Liang Jian, I just thought that it is already afternoon now, and by the time we get to the county, it will probably be only a few dozen minutes before we get off work.
Liang Jian said: "Then why didn't you remind me just now?"
Gu Hua said: "I think Secretary Liang may have important things to do when he goes back." Liang Jian said "hmm" and then said: "Gu Hua, if you have any questions in the future, you can ask me directly. I won't
with ideas."
Gu Hua nodded in the rearview mirror and said, "Secretary Liang, I understand."
Liang Jian got out of the car and said to Gu Hua: "Nothing will happen today. Go back and rest early." Gu Hua thanked him and drove away. Liang Jian originally wanted to have dinner somewhere, but after thinking about it, he only had himself.
I can no longer be interested in going anywhere alone.
Liang Jian thought to himself, why just have a single night? Let’s just buy some noodles and go home to make something to eat for ourselves? Thinking like this, he suddenly felt a little fresh, so Liang Jian headed towards the nearby vegetable market.
.
The food market has the smell of a food market, the food market has the smell of a food market, and there is also a unique way of communication in the food market.
He walked to the vegetable stall. There was a man fighting with the boss for a dollar, and several old ladies were picking up some green peppers. Maybe this is ordinary life. On weekdays,
, Liang Jian was far away from this kind of life, but today he felt that it had a special flavor of life. He went out from another door and smelled the smell of stewed mutton. After the winter solstice, the smell of the New Year began to get stronger. Mirror
It has become popular to eat mutton stew in the prefecture and city. The aroma spreads and stimulates the taste buds of passers-by.
Liang Jian couldn't help but think of the time he had roast mutton with Governor Zhang at the Beautiful Farm in Ningzhou City not long ago. Liang Jian couldn't help but have a hint of inspiration. The mutton in Xiangyangpo Town is also famous in Jingzhou City, and maybe it will be the same in the future.
You can hold a mutton festival or something like this, or you can invite Governor Zhang to come and try it.
But thinking of this, Liang Jian told himself to stop here. Today I just want to be quiet and quiet. Mutton, a favorite of people with heavy tastes, is not suitable for him today.
Liang Jian bought a few cabbage grown by local farmers, weighed three taels of river shrimp, ordered a few fish balls, half a catty of peanuts, a few chili peppers and a catty of noodles, and then took them home to cook noodles.
He moved his laptop into the kitchen, found some old songs that he had not listened to for a long time, clicked the play button, and heard the song "Blue Lotus" spread: Nothing can stop / your yearning for freedom /
An unrestrained life/Your heart has no worries/Through the dark years/I also felt hesitant...
It seemed that the gloomy mood began to slowly dissipate. Liang Jian lit the gas, gently swaying his body, feeling the rhythm of the singing, washing vegetables, washing pots, and boiling water. Next, ten minutes later,
A big pot of fragrant noodles is ready.
After bringing the noodles to his seat, Liang Jian opened a bottle of red wine for himself. At this time, he was almost completely empty. Thinking of the awkwardness in his heart because of Hu Xiaoying, Liang Jian felt that it was just superficial and narrow-minded. In fact, human nature
There is wider space.
Liang Jian washed off the greasy hands, sat down at the table, and poured himself a glass of red wine. It seemed that something was missing. Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
"Who could it be?" Liang Jian stood up and went to open the door.
Hu Xiaoying was standing at the door holding a small black leather bag and wearing a windbreaker. Her face was slightly red due to the stimulation of the cold air, but her lips were a little white.
Liang Jian said nothing and let her in. After Hu Xiaoying entered the door, she stared into Liang Jian's eyes: "Let me see, are you still angry with me?"
Liang Jian smiled and said, "No more." Hu Xiaoying glanced at Liang Jian again and said, "Did you cook the noodles?" Liang Jian nodded.
Hu Xiaoying said: "I happen to be hungry, is it my share?" Liang Jian said: "Didn't you tell me earlier? I can make more, but the amount is not too much. It should be enough for two people." Hu Xiaoying saw the table.
Having wine, he smiled and turned to look at Liang Jian: "Want to drink alone to drown your sorrows?"
Liang Jian said: "It's not about drinking to drown your sorrows, it's about enjoying life alone."
Hu Xiaoying said: "Let me join in? I apologize to you." Liang Jian said: "There is nothing to apologize for. Let's eat first while you still have a good appetite." Hu Xiaoying entered by herself without Liang Jian's consent.
He went to the kitchen, took out a set of tableware, and took out half of the noodles, vegetables, and shrimps from Liang Jian's big basin.
Then she took off her windbreaker and ate the noodles. After eating a few chopsticks, she raised her head and shook her head gently so that her hair would no longer block her eyes. She said, "This tastes really good."
Liang Jian couldn't help but smile, just sipping his wine and watching her eat. Hu Xiaoying said: "Why don't you eat?" Liang Jian said: "I'm afraid you don't have enough."
Hu Xiaoying said: "You will be greedy only if you don't have enough. I don't want to be too full after one bite and leave the rest to be greedy for later." Liang Jian said: "Then I don't care about you, I will eat too.
It’s time.” After eating half of the noodles, the two started clinking glasses and drinking red wine.
That night, Hu Xiaoying lay in Liang Jian's arms and said, "Can you understand? I don't want to marry you because I want to be with you longer." Liang Jian said, "There's no need to say it anymore. I'll do it in the future."
I will never bring up this unpleasant topic again."
Hu Xiaoying hugged Liang Jian tightly, keeping her body close to Liang Jian's body. She wondered in her heart, did Liang Jian really understand her heart?
