The room seemed very quiet, and the sunlight seemed to have stopped flowing. For Hu Xiaoying, who was still a little weak, hearing Liang Jian's resolute attitude made her heart full of happiness. People's mentality will also change in different states.
In normal times, Hu Xiaoying would definitely stop Liang Jian from making such a decision, but at this time, she felt comforted.
Hu Xiaoying said: "Then are you still planning to go to Beijing?" Liang Jian said: "It was agreed at that time that if I didn't plan to go to Beijing for development, then just let me make a phone call to inform me, and there was no need to go to Beijing.
Xiang Jin will never see me again, and there will be no children."
Hu Xiaoying thought for a while and said: "I think it's better for you to go to Beijing. Even if we have to break up, it's easy to get together and break up. After all, I have known you Xiang Jin for many years, and she is pregnant with your child."
, doesn’t it seem too heartless to just make a phone call?”
Liang Jian thought about it and felt that it was not unreasonable. He called and told Xiang Jin that it was Xiang Jin who suggested it. He could go to Beijing and tell Xiang Jin the matter face to face. This would be an explanation. Liang Jian said: "Then
Let me go to Beijing." Hu Xiaoying nodded and leaned on Liang Jian's shoulder again.
The next day, Hu Xiaoying proposed to move to the Jingzhou Hotel, the first guest house of the municipal party committee and government. Hu Xiaoying's arm had not fully recovered, so she asked for two days' leave. As a woman, there are many reasons to ask for leave, and it did not attract other leaders.
of attention.
Liang Jian went to work at the county party committee. He was still thinking about the Waterfall Valley and called Wang Xueping to ask if he had found anything. Wang Xueping said that they went to the village to find out more and found that people interested in Waterfall Valley were not just Mr. Kang and his family.
There are other people who are also working on the idea of Waterfall Valley. But they are not yet sure whether this is related to Weng Guangming's blocking of their project.
Liang Jian said a few words and asked the town to continue paying attention to this matter. Wang Xueping promised to learn more about it.
Before Liang Jian was about to hang up the phone, Wang Xueping suddenly called out "Hey, Secretary Liang". Liang Jian hesitated and asked Wang Xueping: "What's wrong? Is there anything else? Xueping?" Wang Xueping said: "Secretary Liang...
We... haven't had dinner together for a long time...it's okay." Wang Xueping hesitated before speaking.
Although Wang Xueping didn't make it clear, Liang Jian understood what Wang Xueping meant. She meant that Liang Jian hadn't been alone with her for a long time. Liang Jian couldn't answer her, so he said: "After a while, I'll ask
You guys eat!"
He used "you" instead of "you". Wang Xueping heard that she was going to be invited to dinner, which meant that she was able to meet and chat, and she felt happy; however, when she heard the word "you", her heart froze again.
The next day, Liang Jian was about to leave for Beijing. Since there were several other leaders staying at the Jingzhou Hotel, it was inconvenient for Liang Jian to see Hu Xiaoying, so as not to make irresponsible remarks and cause unnecessary suspicion.
That night, Liang Jian just called Hu Xiaoying and said that he had booked a flight ticket and would leave the next day.
Hu Xiaoying said that she had no other requirements but hoped that he would pay attention to safety. She was waiting for him to come back.
The next day was Saturday, the Lantern Festival. Liang Jian's plane in Ningzhou was delayed. After all, it was around four o'clock in the afternoon in Beijing. Liang Jian didn't call Xiang Jin before. He was worried that Xiang Jin would ask him directly if he had thought about it.
Okay. Then it will be difficult for him to answer.
After getting off the plane and getting into a taxi, Liang Jian started calling Xiang Jin. Xiang Jin looked very happy when she heard Liang Jian's voice. She said, "I thought you weren't coming! You're here just in time, you can accompany me."
Visit the temple fair and enjoy the lanterns." Liang Jian was waiting for an explanation, but when he heard that Xiang Jin was so interested, he couldn't bear to disrupt her arrangement. He thought to himself, let's wait until we finish the temple fair with her.
This temple fair has a very Beijing flavor. They arranged to meet at the entrance of the Temple of Di. The Temple of Di is the location of the Lantern Festival Temple Fair in Beijing every year.
Standing at the door of the Temple of Earth with an empty stomach, Xiang Jin had not arrived yet. Liang Jian looked at the archway with the words Temple of Earth. Liang Jian couldn't help but think of an article "Me and the Temple of Earth" he had read when he was a child. The author of the article was the famous writer Shi Tiesheng. Shi Tiesheng
, is a disabled writer who was unable to walk when he was young and spent his whole life in a wheelchair, but he wrote many words of strong character. He is a writer whom Liang Jian admires.
In the Temple of Earth and I, I wrote about the spring, summer, autumn, winter, and the cycle of the four seasons that he saw in the Temple of Earth. It has been almost seventeen or eight years since I read this article, but Liang Jian is still deeply impressed. Standing here now, I think of this deceased man.
The writer couldn't help but feel purified in his heart. Compared with the writer, he was immersed in the worldly reincarnation, but felt a little helpless. It's really ridiculous!
"What are you looking at?" A clear and pleasant voice sounded from behind. As soon as Liang Jian turned his head, it was Xiang Jin, a girl from Beijing!
Today, Xiang Jin is wearing a green down jacket, gray trousers, and a pair of orange-red short boots. She doesn't look like a prostitute at all, but just like an ordinary Beijing girl. And she gives the impression that she is a very young girl.
Liang Jian lamented that almost every time he saw Xiang Jin, she would give him a different feeling. She seemed to be an ever-changing girl, making people feel novel and cute.
Xiang Jin smiled at him and said, "Come on, let's go shopping inside." After saying that, he took Liang Jian's arm and entered the gate of the Temple of Earth. Usually the Temple of Earth is free, but today during the Lantern Festival, it costs six yuan a ticket.
Tickets. Liang Jian happily paid the tickets, and the two of them squeezed into the crowd and entered the Temple of Earth.
This traditional festival is really lively. In the past few years, our traditional festivals have almost been forgotten. People would rather go to Western festivals such as Valentine's Day and Christmas. No one cares about traditional festivals. But in the past two years, maybe everyone
Realizing that we are Chinese after all, while celebrating Western festivals, everyone also returns to traditional festivals. Traditional culture is our roots after all, and everyone still has a sense of intimacy.
During today’s Lantern Festival lanterns, we saw many adults bringing their children, as well as handsome boys and beauties coming together. In addition to the lanterns, there were also snacks.
The two of them went to the lantern to guess riddles. Liang Jian's writing skills were pretty good, and he guessed many of them right in a row. Xiang Jin was so happy that he was laughing, holding the gift, and spinning it around. He was so happy. The more he saw Xiang Jin, the happier he was.
Happy, but Liang Jian's heart became darker. Maybe Xiang Jin thought that he was going to Beijing to develop and live with her, which was why he was so happy.
After a while, if he told her his true intention of coming to Beijing and said he didn't plan to be with her, how would it make her sad? Liang Jian couldn't bear to think about it.
Xiang Jin pulled Liang Jian and asked, "Have you ever eaten authentic Beijing snacks?" Liang Jian forced a smile and said, "I can't tell what authentic Beijing snacks are." Xiang Jin said, "Then what's here today is considered authentic."
Authentic Beijing snacks. Because this Lantern Festival Temple Fair is prepared for old Beijing."
The two bought some snacks. Liang Jian knew that Xiang Jin was pregnant and would not let her eat more. Xiang Jin was also very obedient and said to Liang Jian, "Have you learned to care about others now?" Liang Jian smiled and said, "As long as you
I don’t think so, I just want to save money.”
The two visited the temple fair. Xiang Jin said: "There is a tea place nearby. It is very good. Let's go and sit." After that, the two walked out of the temple fair. Liang Jian asked: "How did you get here?"
Xiang Jin said: "I asked my father's car to deliver it, but I have already asked him to go back."
When we arrived at this teahouse, it was obviously more unique and refined than the teahouses in Jingzhou. There were no private rooms on the first floor, but separate rooms. There was a chandelier hanging above each position and there were candles on the table.
You can drink tea, and some people are drinking. Everyone talks in a low voice. It can be seen that the people here are of good quality.
Liang Jian ordered tea, and Xiang Jin only asked for boiled water. After the exquisite refreshments were served, Liang Jian felt that it was getting closer and closer to speaking out his thoughts. Looking at the young, youthful, and touching Xiang Jin opposite, he felt countless things in his heart.
The earth couldn't bear it. He thought in his heart that God allowing him to meet Xiang Jin was actually a gift to him. But now, he has to bid farewell to this gift artificially.
Xiang Jin smiled charmingly: "Why are you looking at me like that?" Liang Jian smiled and said, "Because you are still so good-looking." Xiang Jin looked around with a smile and said, "Others thought you were confessing to me.
Here!" Liang Jian was speechless for a moment.
Xiang Jin smiled again and said: "Liang Jian, my father asked me to ask you, which national ministry and commission do you think of after arriving in Beijing? The Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and other departments can all be considered..."
Liang Jian felt that he could not delay any longer, otherwise Xiang Jin's misunderstanding would become deeper and deeper, and Xiang Jin would eventually be even more sad.
Liang Jian raised his head, stared at Xiang Jin, and said as sincerely as possible: "Xiang Jin, actually I came here to tell you something." Xiang Jin looked at Liang Jian, her pupils were bright, and she said:
"Tell me what? Don't tell me, just don't want to come to Beijing."
Xiang Jin's pupils can reflect Liang Jian himself. What kind of self is he inside? But thinking about the scene of Hu Xiaoying binding her arms alone in his home that day, he made up his mind again. At least around Xiang Jin
, there is no shortage of people to care about.
Liang Jian lowered his head unbearably. He didn't want to see Xiang Jin's clear eyes overflowing with tears. But he had to be able to say those cruel words when he raised his head. This was a requirement for him. It always has to be said that short-term pain is worse than long-term pain.
Unexpectedly, when he lowered his head, there were a series of tears in his eyes, falling like heavy raindrops. It was as if at this moment, he suddenly understood how much he couldn't bear to hurt the person in front of him.
A beautiful girl like an antelope, how much he didn't want to disappoint her.
However, the purpose of his trip has been determined. He said to himself sternly: "Since you are here, you must say it." He pretended that there was dust in his eyes, wiped them with paper towels, and then looked at Xiang Jin's eyes.
