"Jingqiu, we're back!" Before I saw anyone, I heard Shi Aihong's loud shouting.
Several girls came back from the supply and marketing cooperative, and each of them bought something.
Lin Zishan bought the most today, and the other sisters sponsored her with industrial coupons and cloth coupons.
Lin Zishan bought a new bed sheet, as her worn-out one was due for replacement a long time ago, and she also bought a new washbasin.
The three of them were holding a pile of books in their hands. Chu Jingqiu took a look and found that they were all high school textbooks.
"Where did you buy so many high school textbooks?" Chu Jingqiu asked curiously.
"We bought it from the scrap collection station. Sister Pingping took us there just now. Sister Zishan also bought a washbasin rack. They are all quite cheap." Shi Aihong answered quickly.
After saying that, he excitedly took out a jade pendant and said, "Look, I found this in the compartment of a broken schoolbag. What luck! I'm rich, I'm rich!"
Zhang Pingping and Lin Zishan curled their lips helplessly.
Lin Zishan whispered, "Aihong, this is the eighteenth time you've shown off your jade pendant today. I'm truly impressed. Don't you know that wealth shouldn't be flaunted?"
"Let's go, kids. It's already half past twelve. Grandpa will treat you to dinner!" He Qixian invited everyone to eat.
When they arrived at the state-owned restaurant, He Qixian ordered a table full of dishes, as well as rice and buns.
Among these people, only Lin Zishan had never been to the state-owned restaurant. Li Peilan also had a general understanding of the child's situation.
She felt sorry for the child's situation and kept picking up meat for Lin Zishan to eat. Lin Zishan was so moved that her eyes turned red.
At this time, a pair of eyes were looking at Zhang Pingping like a poisonous snake. Chu Jingqiu found that Gu Wanshan and a group of people were also eating not far away.
It looked like everyone was almost done eating. He Qixian was such a smart guy that he could tell at a glance that Gu Wanshan had bad intentions.
He asked Jingqiu and Pingping to switch seats so that Gu Wanshan could only see Zhang Pingping's back.
Gu Wanshan came to the restaurant to have dinner with the commune secretary today. They invited the deputy county governor who came to inspect the work to have dinner today.
He actually found that Zhang Pingping and Chu Jingqiu were also here. Zhang Pingping was sitting opposite him. He found that Zhang Pingping was becoming more and more beautiful.
For men, the more they can't get something, the harder it may be to forget it.
When he was about to look at Zhang Pingping again, he found that Zhang Pingping had changed her position and he could only see her back. He was a little disappointed.
At this time, the deputy county magistrate who was sitting at the same table also saw Gu Wanshan staring at the table not far away.
He glanced at the table, and during this glance, he stared at the people at the table without blinking.
The commune secretary didn't know what they were looking at. Could they be looking at the two particularly good-looking girls at the table?
Just as he and Gu Wanshan were both wondering in their hearts, the deputy county magistrate suddenly stood up and walked towards the table.
Gu Wanshan was completely stunned. He thought to himself, this deputy county magistrate is even more powerful than me. At least I was watching secretly, but he just walked past.
The deputy county chief walked up to He Qixian and gave him a standard military salute. "Hello, Chief. I didn't expect to see you in this small town. It's been years. How are you?"
He Qixian looked at the person who came, thought for a moment, and said, "It's Xiao Cheng. I haven't seen you for many years. You look much more mature. I almost didn't recognize you."
Li Peilan warmly invited him to sit down, but when he saw that all the people sitting at the table were girls, he felt something was wrong.
He invited He Qixian to sit at his table for a while, and He Qixian followed Cheng Hongqiang to that table without any hesitation.
After He Qixian arrived, he sat in the VIP seat. Gu Wanshan felt that the old man looked very imposing, but it was not right for him to be so impolite as to sit in the county magistrate's VIP seat.
Cheng Hongqiang introduced them to each other. When Gu Wanshan heard that the county magistrate was actually just the old man's orderly, he knew it was just a servant.
Moreover, this old man had worked in the Ministry of Public Security, so he wanted to curry favor with him.
"It is a great honor for our Hongqi Town to have Chief He come. Are you here to guide our work?" Gu Wanshan asked flatteringly.
"I dare not give instructions. As a retired old man, I cannot give orders to capable young people like you.
I'm just here to see my granddaughter. I'm worried that she's been wronged and that someone might bully her." He Qixian said calmly.
Cheng Hongqiang asked curiously, "Commander, which one is your granddaughter?"
He Qixian pointed in the direction of Chu Jingqiu and said, "That's the one sitting by the window."
"Is it the educated youth Xiao Chu?" asked the commune secretary.
"Yes, it's Chu Jingqiu, my granddaughter." He Qixian nodded.
Others were praising He Qixian for being so lucky to have such a smart, beautiful and capable granddaughter.
Only Gu Wanshan felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave. He had not expected that Chu Jingqiu had such a powerful background.
I must have been kicked in the head by a donkey. I actually dared to have ideas about her. I regret not checking her file first.
I used to think that most of the people who could come to this small place to work in the countryside were from poor families or were not valued. I never thought that there would be someone with such a strong family background.
He would never dare to provoke Chu Jingqiu again, and he also prayed that Chu Jingqiu didn't notice what happened before.
He was very grateful for the secretary's warning to him at that time. If he had really taken action against Chu Jingqiu and something really happened, his brother-in-law who worked in the Municipal Party Committee would not be able to protect him.
Thinking of this, sweat began to appear on his head, and the clothes on his back were wet and stuck to his body.
His constant wiping of sweat attracted everyone's attention.
He Qixian said sarcastically, "Comrade Xiao Gu, aren't you feeling unwell? You look pale and sweating all over. Shouldn't you go see a doctor?"
The commune secretary certainly knew what Gu Wanshan was thinking. The last time Gu Wanshan smashed his head, he warned him that she couldn't afford to offend Chu Jingqiu.
However, at that time, two young men from the army asked him to take care of Chu Zhiqing. They were a unit directly under the jurisdiction of the central government.
This time I have special privileges to go out, and any local department will cooperate unconditionally.
The cool and handsome young man found him and asked him to arrange Chu Zhiqing to the propaganda team to cooperate with him in carrying out the mission.
He also specifically reminded them to take good care of Chu Zhiqing and not to be disturbed by outsiders, especially Deputy Director Gu.
He ran to the hospital and gave Gu Wanshan a hard time. Although Gu Wanshan agreed at the time and did not harass Chu Zhiqing again, he looked not convinced at all.
This time, he must be glad that he didn't make things difficult for Chu Zhiqing. Looking at his cowardly look now, he must be scared and convinced!
Gu Wanshan quickly explained: "Thank you for your concern, old leader. I... I'm fine. I'm just fat and sweat easily."
After saying that, he wiped the sweat from his forehead.
