Director of the Centre

Chapter 104 Is it a mistake?
Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Let's say that after Han Lu came home from a business trip, as soon as he entered the gate of the unit, he was stopped by Aunt Xia, one of the four queens: "Director Xiao Han, something happened."

Han Lu smiled and said, "Director Xiao Han can eat and sleep, but nothing happened."

Aunt Xia had a wonderful look on her face: "Something happened to Tao Zi."

Han Lu: "Who is she pinching? Bad temper!"

"No, no, it's about Qi Qinghan. People from the Provincial Theater of Sichuan didn't come to Jinsha City last night. They were doing research outside today. Yang Guang and several other leaders were accompanying them. It was said that everyone would still be singing a play tonight. Exchange and exchange. Taozi also went, this is... tsk tsk tsk, isn't she embarrassed to meet an old lover?"

Han Lu opened his mouth wide in astonishment, and asked after a while: "Has Tao Tao gone to see Qi Qinghan?"

Aunt Xia said: "Yeah, I also think this matter is very inappropriate. However, Qi Qinghan said that he must meet Tao Tao, otherwise this cooperation will not be possible. Director Yang means that it will not be successful if it is not successful, it cannot Let Tao Tao suffer a little bit of grievance. But Song Qingshan went to Boss Tao alone, telling her to take care of the overall situation, and Tao Zi couldn't help but nodded."

Han Lu was displeased: "How can this be? Isn't this a bit humiliating? Song Qingshan doesn't do human affairs."

Aunt Xia was also indignant: "The person surnamed Song is not human."

After saying a few words, Han Lu and Aunt Xia gathered around a group of people. Everyone knew that there would be gossip wherever there were four queens. How could they miss this opportunity.

Seeing more people, Aunt Xia became even more excited.Said that she just kept calling and contacting a sister-in-law in the office.

Isn't Han Lu on a business trip? Today's reception is that sister who is in charge of running errands.

The eldest sister broadcast live the whole process, saying that Qi Qinghan is very beautiful at the moment.Although there was a deputy dean leading the team when they came to Jinsha City this time, he was the one who led the discussion.

Early this morning, the leaders of the city’s publicity, culture and tourism outlet came to have a discussion with them, and even brought guests from the provincial court down to the districts and counties for inspection. During the whole process, reporters from the city and district TV stations took pictures, saying that they were going to television news.

That posture is like that of a great leader.

Speaking of this, an actor who was in the audience said: "Why do you look like a big leader? Qi Qinghan is the big leader. I have learned that Qi Qinghan went to the provincial court this time to take a second post, and he is in the right place when he goes. He has already been on the same level as Director Yang Guang." level."

"Ah, right now, isn't that equivalent to a county magistrate?" Everyone was taken aback.

The man said seriously again: "This is still the beginning. I heard that Qi Qinghan returned to the capital after a one-year suspension, and has to be promoted again."

Although Jinsha City is big, it is only a prefecture-level city and remote. In everyone's eyes, the county magistrate is already a great cadre, and at the city level, he is already the top.

From what he said, Qi Qinghan might be at the prefectural level in the future.

How old is he, maybe in his thirties, what a bright future he has.

Another person sighed: "When I was in the center before, Qi Qinghan was an actor who could sing opera, but there was nothing special about it. It's only been a long time since I went to the capital, and it's like this. I feel like I'm dreaming."

"We can say that the golden phoenix flew out of the mountain nest here."

Aunt Xia said leisurely: "Who told someone to find a good wife!"

"Yeah, there must be this factor. Hey, if I knew I would give it a try, people don't go out and they are not expensive."

"Why are you floating? Do you have Qi Qinghan who is good-looking? Besides, who can say clearly about fate!"

"Hey, Qi Qinghan didn't mean to show off when he returned to his hometown this time. I don't know how Tao Tao will feel when he sees her."

……

There is everything in a mess, and everyone is envious.

Han Lu and Tao Tao already had feuds, so it is conceivable that she would be very embarrassed about today's matter.In my heart, our Comrade Xiao Han was a little gloating at the beginning, but when I listened to it, I suddenly felt a little sad for her.

He couldn't help shaking his head: "Nonsense, really nonsense, I hope Tao Tao will not affect her work."

Tao Tao is very emotional. Can she not be affected by such a big event?
However, he only sympathized with Tao Tao, and there was nothing he could do.

It was a hot day during the business trip. On the way back, he was sweating all over and felt rotten. Han Lu hurried home and prepared to take a shower and change clothes.

It was already four o'clock in the afternoon, but the parents were not there.Looking at the refrigerator again, it was empty, and the elder probably went to the market to buy vegetables.

Han Lu didn't care, and went into the bathroom to boil the bath water.

He is a single man, and his life is not very particular. The water heater is very simple, just a tin bucket with electric heating wires inside, which is equivalent to an oversized electric kettle.

The water heater can hold a lot of water, and it takes several minutes to heat it up even on a hot day, and it takes half an hour to reach [-] degrees in three or nine days.

Han Lu loves to be clean and has a slight obsession with cleanliness.While waiting for the water to heat up, I saw that the bathroom was a bit dirty, so I picked up the household items to clean it up.

It has to be said that the two elders live a rough life. Since they came to Jinsha City, the cleanliness of the house has deteriorated rapidly as can be seen with the naked eye.Especially in the bathroom, the used paper was thrown on the floor, and there was dirt on the wall seams.

By the way, why are there so many hairs in the basin?

When Han Lu grabbed it with his hands, he picked up a large handful. It was bluish-gray and slightly whitish, with short hair, which should belong to my old lady.

My dear old mother, can you throw your hair in the trash can after you comb it, the drain pipe is about to be blocked by you?
Han Lu shook his head, and saw five or six bottles of medicine in front of the mirror. He picked it up and saw that they were all in foreign languages, and he couldn't read them.

He wondered in his heart, what is this thing... Hey, my mother has worked hard all her life, and she is a bit older than the year before when she came to Jinsha this time.

While taking a bath, the outside door rang, and it turned out that it was the second elder coming home.

The mother's voice was very happy: "Xiaolu is back?"

Han Lu stretched his neck and shouted: "Yes, I'm back, Mom, have you gone grocery shopping?"

"I bought beef, and tonight we'll make your favorite boiled pork slices. Xiaolu, open the door, Mom needs to get something." Mother knocked on the bathroom door, her voice a little anxious.

Han Lu: "I'm taking a shower, wait a minute."

"No, no, you open the door now."

"I'm naked!"

"When I gave birth to you, you were naked too." Mother Ye Fang continued to knock on the door, looking anxious and angry.

Han Lu had no choice but to open the bathroom door wetly.

Ye Fang rushed in and snatched the medicine bottle in front of the mirror, looking a little flustered.

Han Lu was a little puzzled: "Mom, what disease are you suffering from and taking so many medicines. If something really happens, go to the hospital to see, my classmate is from Huaxi, why don't you contact him."

Han Guoqing suddenly became angry: "What's the disease? I'm not angry because of you. After washing, get out after washing. If I have something to tell you, I am so angry!"

"Okay..." Dad roared angrily. Han Lu was scared, so he obediently dried himself, put on clean clothes and came out.

He was still worried about his mother, and Lao Han was impatient: he said, the elderly have no underlying diseases, high blood pressure, high blood lipids, and high blood sugar. Anyway, everything is high. If you are not angry, we will not die.

Ye Fang poured a glass of water for Han Lu: "Xiao Lu, you just took a bath, are you thirsty?"

Han Lu took it over and took a sip, and asked: "Mom, Dad, it's so formal, let's talk about things quickly. The unit is receiving guests from the province, I still think we should rush over to have a look. You can eat the boiled pork slices yourself." , just give me some left over for supper."

He had a premonition that his parents would talk to him about personal issues. In fact, every time he talked with his parents on the phone in the past two years, the two elders would force them into marriage, and he was already used to it.

Han Guoqing: "I talked to you on the phone about your partner two days ago. What are your plans and when will you get married?"

"Marriage?" Han Lu was stunned: "How can it be related to marriage? I am still young, extremely poor, and have no success in my career. I really have no intentions. Marriage is not a matter between two people, it involves two families, and it involves the future. The issue of children's education is not child's play, the responsibility is too great, and it must be taken seriously."

Han Hanqing said angrily: "Don't talk so much, I have also been here since I was young, and I have also grown from a bachelor to a husband and a father. How wonderful it is to be a bachelor, one person can eat enough for the whole family, and the whole family is not hungry. You can go wherever you want Play, spend money as you want, and feel uncomfortable once you get married. This marriage will definitely lower the quality of life, but you can't be single forever, and you can't be too selfish."

Han Lu's mother also persuaded: "Darling, marriage is also beneficial. There is someone who knows the cold and the hot at home. The life is regular and the person's health is also good. Also, after a day of work outside, the wife and children With the hot kang head, life is also vigorous."

Han Lu still shook his head with a smile.

Han Guoqing hates seeing his son acting like you don't understand my own opinions. In his mind, his son will always be a little baby who has to be taken care of, so he immediately shouted: "I really thought you were a college student, don't talk to me about responsibilities and irresponsibility." , things are not so complicated, a man and a woman are suitable, and they can get along together. Well, if you want to be reasonable, I will tell you serious. Baby, people must have a conscience, and they cannot play with their feelings or be a liar in love. She's a girl, so she can't be ruined by you, that's immoral."

Han Lu felt a little strange when he called his father every time he called a liar last time. Hearing him say it again today, he couldn't help but say, "Dad, wait a minute, how does this involve love liars and playing with feelings? I'm not like that." People... Maybe something has misunderstood you, I am only with people now, just ordinary friends, and the relationship has not been confirmed yet, so you are now on the line."

The relationship between him and Guan Jing is only a little more than friends, not lovers, and they haven't even held hands until now.

In the short term, neither of them has any further ideas.

How beautiful youth is, this kind of tepid process is very comfortable, and both of them enjoy this process quite a lot.

"Shut up, you said it's just friends, how could someone's parents come to ask the teacher?"

"Xiaoguan's parents came to see you?" Han Lu was dumbfounded: "No, her parents have come to Jinsha City, I haven't heard of it!"

"What Xiaoguan, isn't it Tao Tao?" Han Guoqing realized something was wrong: "Where did Xiaoguan come from?"

Han Lu was also taken aback: "It's not Xiao Guan's parents who came to see you, so who are they?"

Han Guoqing was surprisingly not angry, and said patiently: "Xiaolu, I'll probably tell you about this matter. During your business trip, the parents of Tao Tao, a colleague from your unit, came to us and said that you and her had been in love before, and they were sure about it. But then you abandoned her and found a new love. Tao Tao was very sad, and she was in a bad state of mind recently. She hid at home and cried all day, saying that you would not marry. Her parents felt sorry for their daughter, so they came to ask for an explanation. We What else can I do? My child has done bad things, so of course I have to apologize to others. I think Tao Tao is a good child, and I thought there must be some misunderstanding when you broke up. I promised to make the decision for her and have a good talk with you. Actually, Tao Tao is pretty good, you can think about it."

"Confirm the relationship, cry all day, don't marry me?" Han Lu took a breath: "Did I travel to another parallel time and space? Dad, Mom, let me tell you the truth. I understand your anxiety." The idea of ​​having a grandson, I am now pursuing a girl named Guan Jing. However, I have just been in contact with it now, so I can’t say whether it will be successful, let alone talk about marriage. Otherwise, I will talk to Xiao Guan later. , Let’s see if we can let her meet you to clear up this misunderstanding. As for Tao Tao, I don’t know what her parents told you, but heaven and conscience, I have nothing to do with Tao Zi.”

Han Guoqing: "So that's the way it is, if you don't see Xiaoguan..."

He looked at Ye Fang with a questioning look.

Ye Fang was weak and leaned on the sofa all the time, covered with a thin blanket on a hot day.

Hearing Han Lu's words, she, who was always gentle, stood up suddenly, and the blanket fell to the ground.

Ye Fang suddenly shouted excitedly: "What is Xiaoguan, what is Jing, I don't want to see you. I understand, you must have been with Tao Tao for a while first, and finally thought that he had a bad personality and too many troubles at home. I got to know Xiaoguan again, and I changed my mind when I saw something different."

Han Lu was tongue-tied: "I didn't."

Ye Fang: "What kind of character is bad? Yes, Tao Zi's character is a bit anxious and weird, but who is she? He is the backbone of the business and the owner of the theater troupe. If he is capable, he must have a big temper. Han Lu, you She's unreliable, and she just needs such a vicious woman to control her, otherwise you won't be able to fly up to the sky?"

Evil in the Southwest dialect is not just a derogatory term. It is used on people, referring to a person who is anxious and fierce, and even has a commendatory meaning of being able to get things done.

The Tu people in Southwest Province value men over men, and women are strong, compared to men, who don't care about their affairs.

In other places, when a mother marries a daughter-in-law, it means "marry", but in this province it means "find a daughter-in-law to take care of her son."

This is very different from Jinsha City where 90.00% of the residents are immigrants from other provinces.

"Mom, I..."

Ye Fang interrupted him and continued to scold: "Yes, yes, Tao Tao's family is not well-off, her parents have no income, and her younger brother hangs out all day. In the future, you will definitely have to pay for her natal family. You want to find a good condition Yes, a woman who can help you. Is it because of this Xiaoguan that you abandoned Taozi? Are the conditions of Xiaoguan's family very good?"

Han Lu confessed honestly: "It's very good." It's not a small good, it's a great good.

Ye Fang: "Han Lu, how did your mother teach you in the past, you must have a conscience. You treat Tao Tao like that and find another one for money. Do you want to be Chen Shimei? Mom is really sad."

Han Lu: "No, Mom, things are not what you think, listen to me."

Ye Fang suddenly screamed: "I don't care whether you are Xiaoguan or Xiaokai, I just fell in love with Taozi, I want Taozi! She is my daughter-in-law, I don't recognize anything else. Han Lu, what do you want?" Want to piss me off?"

As she spoke, she became hysterical for the first time in her life, grabbed the pillow on the sofa and threw it towards Hanlu.

Han Guoqing: "Han Lu, you are dead, what are you doing here, don't hurry up, you want to piss us off!"
