This incident caused a sensation at the time and had a particularly bad impact. Li Anze spent a lot of effort to suppress it.
Are they starting to collect now?
Du Ruo was a little puzzled. She had been with Li Anze for several days this time, but she didn't notice any fluctuations in the horizontal line on his head?
When Du Ruo got off the bus at the county long-distance bus station, it started to drizzle outside. Although it was not heavy, it was very heavy. Many people, like Du Ruo, did not prepare umbrellas and were crowded in the shed of the bus station, waiting for the rain to stop.
The family of three we met earlier was also separated here by the rain. The female comrade was a little anxious: "This rain won't stop? We still have to take a bus to the village. When will we get home?"
The man said irritably, "What's the point of being anxious? Can you control the fate of God?"
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and water began to drip from the eaves. The little girl took out a small hairpin from her pocket and put her hand under the rain to wash it.
Du Ruo glanced at it casually. The edge of the hairpin had been washed clean by the rain, revealing a bright yellow color. Du Ruo's heart suddenly jumped. This was not a plastic toy.
She pondered for a moment, then smiled and said to the woman, "Sister, the card your child is playing with is quite nice. It has flowers engraved on it."
This is the truth. Although the hairpin in the child's hand is a bit rough in workmanship, you can vaguely see that it is a flower.
When the woman heard Du Ruo say this, she grabbed the child's hand and took a look. She immediately realized something was wrong and yelled, "Oh my god, this thing is really made of gold! Girl, where did you get it?"
When the little girl saw her mother asking her, she blinked her innocent eyes and said, "I found it. I found it by the river. Erya also found one that is more beautiful than mine."
It was a rainy day, and beating the kids was just a way to do things. People nearby leaned over to watch the fun, and someone in the crowd said nonchalantly, "We're from Xiaxi Village. What's so special about this? Every kid in our area picks up something or other."
There were about ten men dressed as migrant workers in the crowd, and they looked at each other.
These people were all wearing blue work shirts and army green rubber shoes. Their faces were weathered and their hands were calloused. They looked no different from ordinary farmers.
An old man in the lead slowly approached, holding a pipe in his hand. He looked at the thing in the little girl's hand and said with a smile, "This is probably a really good thing!"
Some people around said, "Isn't this an antique?"
"Oh my, that's worth a fortune."
"This little girl is so lucky. Why didn't I pick it up?"
"I saw it on TV, and it's really valuable. Why don't I go pick some up from your place?"
As soon as he said this, many people around him had a flash of eagerness in their eyes. An antique picked up for free? Is there such a good thing in the world?
The rain slowly stopped, and those who were in a hurry had already left with their luggage, and some people left one after another.
The little girl's mother had already put the hairpin away. The couple held the little girl's hand and ran to the station. They had to take a bus back to their hometown.
Du Ruo noticed that a dozen or so people dressed as migrant workers also followed the family of three and ran towards the station.
Du Ruo looked at the direction where everyone disappeared thoughtfully. She slowly walked to the bus stop and took a bus to the county government.
As soon as she walked into the county government compound, she saw Li Anze standing on the steps from a distance.
Seeing Du Ruo coming over, Li Anze walked down the stairs with a smile: "It just rained, and I was just about to drive to find you. How are you? Did you get wet?"
Du Ruo shook her head: "I waited at the station for a while, but didn't get wet."
Li Anze led Du Ruo out of the county government, walked to the back, crossed an alley, and entered a small courtyard.
Li Anze turned around and said to Du Ruo with a smile: "If I had known, I would have taken the samurai sword back to you last time. Not only did I make you run a long way, but I also had to buy you a meal."
Du Ruo also smiled: "Then I am in for a treat."
Li Anze opened the door, made a gesture of invitation, and the two walked into the house.
He took off his Mao suit and hung it on the hook behind the door. While unbuttoning his shirt sleeves, he smiled at Du Ruo: "I just asked them to send a fish over. I'll make braised fish for you at noon."
Du Ruo smiled and said, "I'm really lucky today."
Li Anze is an expert at cooking fish, which is especially suited to her taste. He often comforts her when she is in a bad mood.
The two of them went to the kitchen. When Li Anze was processing the fish, Du Ruo stood beside him and helped him. She was an experienced worker at this job. She had often eaten other people's food in her previous life. Du Ruo often helped Li Anze.
The two of them worked in perfect harmony, and in just a short while, the fish was almost done.
Li Anze was processing a piece of ginger in his hand. Du Ruo picked up a head of garlic and started peeling it, secretly glancing at Li Anze.
It is said that when judging a person, you should not judge him by his appearance. Take Li Anze for example. He appears to be serious and upright. He is the son of a high-ranking official and holds a high position himself.
But in real life, he has always been humble, steady and easy-going, and his daily life is no different from that of ordinary people.
Li Anze glanced at Du Ruo and said, "What's wrong? Do you think it's strange that I can cook?"
Then, he smiled and said, "When I was a child, my parents were busy, and my eldest brother was away from home all day. I often went hungry, and when I had a stomachache, I rolled around in bed. Later, I had to fend for myself, and gradually, I felt that being self-sufficient was pretty good."
Du Ruo actually knew about this. She pretended to be surprised and asked, "Is Mr. Li so busy? Is Big Brother Li busy too?"
Li Anze laughed. "My eldest brother has been a leader among children since he was young. He always has a large group of people following him. He has strong leadership skills and doesn't like to stay at home. He eats two of his three meals a day out. I am the most pitiful one."
After the oil pan was heated, Li Anze carefully pulled Du Ruo behind him before putting the fish into the pan.
Du Ruo looked at Li Anze's back. He was tall and broad, which made people feel at ease.
Li Anze put the fish into the pot and untied his apron. "You watch the pot. I'll go to the canteen at the door to get some food."
The canteen of the county party committee compound was just in front. Li Anze came back quickly. He ordered two taels of rice and took two steamed buns.
Du Ruo smiled as soon as she saw it. Li Anze was as meticulous as before. It seemed that during this period of time at the Li family, he had discovered that he liked to eat rice and fish.
This man is meticulous and thoughtful in everything he does, and his work is flawless and so natural that no one can tell.
