The next morning, Gu Daqiang personally drove his motorcycle to take Huo Qianli and Jiang Qingyue to the town.
The cold air at the end of December condensed on the hair tips of the three people in just half an hour, turning into water droplets and flowing down.
Oh no, there are only two of them, and the bald guy doesn’t have these worries.
Gu Daqiang was in a low mood. While accompanying Huo Qianli and Jiang Qingyue to wait for the bus, he smoked quietly.
Huo Qianli asked in confusion: "Brother, what are you worried about?"
Gu Daqiang was stunned for a moment and sighed, "I'm worried about Haitao! More than a year has passed, and I still don't know what his future will be like!"
Huo Qianli smiled and said, "Why not just make a name for himself in the town and then help out in the industrial park? If this thing is done, it will be no worse than working outside."
"Hey, let me think about it again!"
Gu Daqiang sighed and wanted to find a trash can to throw away the cigarette butt, but he looked for a long time but didn't see any, so he just threw it at his feet and stepped on it. A sense of pride rose in his heart. The management in this town is not as good as that in our village!
Thinking of this, my heart sank again.
When the car started, Huo Qianli and Jiang Qingyue got in and left. Standing on the dusty roadside, Gu Daqiang frowned and climbed into the car.
Ever since he realized that Huo Qianli could only stay for another year and a half, he had been feeling a little irritable these past few days. The better Hushan Village was doing now, the heavier his worries became.
Halfway is like a hurdle. Before you reach it, it’s still early, but after you reach it, you feel that it is about to end.
This farewell will come back, but I wonder what the next time you really leave will be like!
Gu Daqiang rubbed his face, stepped on the accelerator, and returned to the village.
In the minibus, Jiang Qingyue looked at Huo Qianli and said softly, "Uncle Daqiang is not bothered by Haitao."
Huo Qianli raised his eyebrows, "What are you worried about?"
Jiang Qingyue shook her head and smiled slightly, "I don't know about that. Officer Huo is so smart, think about it yourself."
Huo Qianli said helplessly: "Miss Jiang, I didn't expect that you, a girl with thin eyebrows and big eyes, would also learn bad things!"
Jiang Qingyue chuckled at him, turned her head and looked out the window quietly.
Huo Qianli looked at her and felt that the years had cast a cage around her and wrapped her in a layer of disguise, completely concealing the bright and blazing light within.
Behind the humble and submissive look lies the helplessness of reality and the compromise of self.
If there were a stage, perhaps she would also be able to shine.
Huo Qianli said softly: "How about you go to college?"
Jiang Qingyue turned her head suddenly, and after seeing Huo Qianli's frank eyes, she slowly calmed down.
Huo Qianli also realized the possible misunderstanding and quickly said, "That's not what I meant. I think that you are so smart and have a long future ahead of you. Your family conditions are good now. Whether it's to fulfill your dream of going to college or to learn more knowledge, it's valuable."
Jiang Qingyue smiled calmly, "Let's talk about it later. Now I just want to help you get things done."
The car continued to move forward, and the two chatted intermittently. Before they knew it, they arrived at the Dongjiang County bus station.
Before getting off the bus, Huo Qianli received a call from Secretary Li. After leaving the station, he found Secretary Li's car at the station entrance.
Secretary Li was slightly startled when he saw Jiang Qingyue. Before Huo Qianli could speak, Jiang Qingyue nodded and said, "Hello, Secretary. I want to go to Jincheng to send something to my sister, so I pestered Officer Huo to take me with you. I'm sorry to trouble you!"
Huo Qianli then smiled and said, "I thought about what the secretary told me before, that it's just the two of us, and there's an empty seat in the car anyway. Our village is poor, so we can save as much as possible."
Secretary Li smiled generously, "Even if we are rich, we still have to save. Xiao Jiang, you are a female comrade, so you can sit in the front passenger seat. Xiao Huo, the two of us can sit in the back."
After putting the luggage in the trunk, the driver received instructions, stepped on the accelerator, and the car drove straight to Jincheng.
When they arrived in Jincheng, Secretary Li checked the time and took the initiative to say, "Xiao Zhang, drive the car to Shuzhou University first. Xiao Huo, take Xiao Jiang to settle down first, and then we will go to register. Don't worry about me. I just want to visit Shuzhou University and feel the cultural atmosphere."
With his keen eyesight, it was clear what was going on.
As I said, see through things but don’t speak them out, it’s better to do favors silently.
Huo Qianli booked a room in the hotel on campus, and then waited for Jiang Qiuyan to come over happily. He told her to entertain her sister well and accompany her for a stroll, and then he said goodbye to Jiang Qingyue and left.
Originally, Huo Qianli could have settled Jiang Qingyue in Han Zhiyuan's house, but thinking that the blind date the day after tomorrow was arranged by his master's wife, he felt bad so he called Jiang Qingyue to Jincheng, intending to take her out for a good stroll afterwards. If she settled in Han Zhiyuan's house, it would feel a bit weird, so he decided to give up.
After having lunch with Secretary Li, the two of them rushed to the hotel.
The instructions in the hotel lobby were very clear, and the two of them arrived at the check-in area on one side of the lobby without any obstacles.
Secretary Li also met one or two leaders from neighboring counties, greeted them warmly, and introduced Huo Qianli to them.
Regardless of whether it was out of courtesy or sincerity, the leaders naturally appreciated it. Several young people nearby also heard the noise and looked over.
There were no melodramatic plots or stupid actions; everyone was very restrained in such an official occasion, but private rivalries and gossip were inevitable.
That evening, the government leaders attended a dinner organized by the Organization Department, and the college student village cadres had a buffet at the hotel.
Because there was a meeting the next day, no one dared to go out and have fun, for fear of leaving a bad impression on the Organization Department leaders who might be observing secretly.
