Hi, it's Mr. Lin!

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, Chen Xiaonian basically doesn't go out except to go to work and study in Cairns, but her little life is not boring.When offline, Lin Qi would take her on tours, and most of the destinations he chose were cool and pleasant places with mountains and water.

"Xiao Nian, how long have you been studying here?"

July is the hot and rainy season, and after finally waiting for the troublesome rain to stop, Chen Xiaonian asked Alia to go camping by the artificial lake in his manor.From a distance, the emerald-like lake is blown by the wind, and the trees by the lake are tall and straight, forming a circle.Years of polishing have left no trace of man-made excavation in the entire lake, and the stones on the shore have become round and smooth.

Chen Xiaonian stood on a big rock to move her body, while Arya had already plunged into the cool lake for a swim.

"Half a year."

After one or two ten minutes of warm-up, Chen Xiaonian, who couldn't wait for a long time, jumped up from the rock, and the beautiful water splashes finally turned into circles of water patterns.The two were chasing each other and laughing in the water like mermaids, and the lake, which had been lonely for a long time, became lively at this moment.

After playing around for a while, Chen Xiaonian took a deep breath and sank into the water. After adapting to the pressure in the water, she tried to open her eyes in the water.The slightly turbid lake water does not affect the sight much, and the sunlight projected on the lake surface is as hazy as the light shining through the fog in the early autumn morning.Clusters of aquatic plants swayed with the current, as if they were welcoming Chen Xiaonian, a sudden visitor.

After adjusting her condition, Chen Xiaonian stepped on the bottom of the lake covered with gravel, and the smooth stones brought a gentle massage.Looking around, occasionally there will be one or two small fish swimming by, the quiet environment makes people relax.When she was about to float up, out of the corner of her eye, she found a very beautiful stone lying in a hole in front left.As a designer, she would not let it go, she turned around and swam towards the pothole.

Lin Qi and the others installed and set up the tent, hammock and other camping supplies, and were about to call Chen Xiaonian to come over to rest, but they found that she was not there.Wasn't she still playing in the water with her friends just now?

"Miss Arya, where is Nian Nian?"

Anxious in his heart, Lin Qi stepped forward and pulled Arya's arm forcefully to ask questions.Arya's arm hurt from his pinch, and after struggling a few times, it only made the pain worse.She turned her head and said, "Isn't Xiao Nian over there?"

But when she saw the calm surface of the lake she was pointing at, she was also surprised, "No, she was still talking nicely to me just now."

In the shallow water of this lake, the aquatic plants inside can be seen at a glance, and no one can guarantee whether the aquatic plants deeper in the lake will be longer and denser.Worried that Chen Xiaonian would be entangled in aquatic plants, Lili quickly took off his clothes and prepared to go into the water to search, and Arya also turned back to join him.At this time, there was a lot of sound of water and the sound of breathing heavily beside a huge stone.The two looked over there together, and saw that Chen Xiaonian was holding on to the stone while panting heavily while pulling at the hair stuck to her face, and she seemed to be holding something in her hand.

"Hey! Look what I found!"

After resting for a while, Chen Xiaonian waved the hand holding the stone and shouted excitedly at the two, her red face was full of excitement because she had held her breath for too long.Seeing her relieved like this, Alia shook her head helplessly and smiled wryly, but Lin Qi's expression did not turn cloudy because of Chen Xiaonian's appearance.

"Look, this stone has a unique shape and a beautiful texture."

Chen Xiaonian swam over and took the stone to show the two of them. Arya looked over and saw that the stone in her friend's hand was blood red all over. Under the natural light, it was shiny and shiny. Except for a little chicken oil yellow on the upper part, there was no impurity in other places.The shape of the whole stone is an irregular hexahedron, much like the pendant at the lower end of a sapphire necklace released by Cairns before.The lines are natural and smooth, as if they were cut at will.

"I feel like it's a bit like a bloodstone, but not sure."

After observing repeatedly for a while, Chen Xiaonian expressed his conjecture uncertainly.The two of them just stood in the water and discussed in low voices, not even noticing the gloomy expression of the man next to him.After discussing for a long time, Chen Xiaonian couldn't come to a conclusion, so Chen Xiaonian had no choice but to walk ashore resentfully.

Just after taking two steps, she was pulled into the water by a strong force.Before she could cry out in surprise, Lin Qi pushed the person into the water and sank with him.Unprepared, Chen Xiaonian was forced to choke on two sips of water, and soon she was imprisoned by a pair of arms. The pain from her lips made her open her eyes wide, her long hair fluctuating with the water covered her vision, and she couldn't see clearly what was on the other side. people.

"This man is really crazy."

Arya stood on the shore and sighed, and Ander put a soft and comfortable towel on her shoulders.

"Should we try it too?"

Feeling that there were more hands on her waist, Arya turned her head and gave Ander a white look.

"Good idea, I haven't forgiven you yet."

After speaking, he walked to the recliner to rest on his own, leaving the dejected Andel with a depressed stomach.But Ander soon became happy again, and moved to Arya's side to please her.

Chen Xiaonian felt that the oxygen in her lungs had been exhausted, and if she continued, she might suffocate to death.She twisted her body to try to break free, but unfortunately the man restrained her even harder.

Son of a bitch!What is this man trying to do?
Struggling to no avail, Chen Xiaonian had no choice but to raise her leg to push between the man's legs. Although she couldn't use as much strength in the water as she did on land, it was enough to wake the man up.After several attempts, Chen Xiaonian, who was dizzy, finally heard the muffled hum from the man.

The two finally surfaced, Chen Xiaonian weakly lay on the man's chest and panted, Lin Qi closed his eyes and leaned against the rock to calm his frantic heartbeat after venting.

"Asshole, do you want to kill me?"

Chen Xiaonian, who recovered a little bit of physical strength, hit and bit Lin Qi repeatedly. The terrible feeling of dying made her burst out with incredible strength without recovering at all.

"Nian Nian, don't scare me, okay?"

Lin Qi allowed Chen Xiaonian to beat and scold him, but his words and expression seemed to Chen Xiaonian to be just repeating the old trick.It was the same last time at the racecourse, and it was the same this time, and she couldn't even tell whether what he said before was made up to trick her.

"Enough! I won't trust you anymore."

Exhausting all her strength to withdraw from the man's arms, the disappointment in Chen Xiaonian's eyes made the man's heart ache.

"I thought you would change it, but you turned out to be worse. Lin Qi, what you said was lying to me and yourself."

Lin Qi grabbed Chen Xiaonian's arm and defended in a panic: "No! That's not the case. Nian Nian, listen to my explanation. I really didn't lie to you, I just cared too much about you and was too afraid of losing you."

Chen Xiaonian was not moved by his words this time, but just watched him explain with cold eyes.This is not the first time he said the same thing, caring too much about her?Too afraid to lose her?The same reason becomes so pale when used too much.

"I'm tired, I'm going to rest first."

Not wanting to say anything more, Chen Xiaonian broke free from her arms and swam to the shore.

"Near."

Lin Qi watched his beloved go away, lowered his head to hide the complicated emotions in his eyes.Drops of water fell down the intervals of the hair, and he maintained this posture for a long time in the water.

"Xiao Nian, are you okay?"

Arya took the towel and walked quickly to Chen Xiaonian who had just landed. The sense of security brought by the friction between the soft towel and the skin comforted Chen Xiaonian's hollow heart a lot.

"I'm fine, it's just a joke."

Responding to her friend's concerns with a smile, she didn't want her to worry too much about herself.

"I see you haven't come up for so long, I thought"

Arya still looked worried, she finally had such a friend, if something really happened, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.

"Where's the rock I picked up?"

Not wanting to talk too much about this matter, Chen Xiaonian looked towards the resting place not far away, the color of blood was very eye-catching.

"It took you a long time to get it up, so you must take good care of it!"

The two talked and laughed as they walked towards the camp. They saw Andel having a barbecue. After changing their clothes, they also went to help. The relaxed and happy atmosphere was in stark contrast to Lin Qi's depression in the lake.

Tang Guo stood at the top of the field and looked at the continuous stretches of wheat fields. The golden ears were blown into waves by the hot and dry summer wind.Looking at the wheat fields that are about to be harvested in front of me, the joy in my heart can't help but surge. This is the result of a year of hard work by myself and my comrades leading the local people.Wiping off the sweat from the tip of the nose and forehead, the red face is not as delicate as before, and the innocence in the eyes when I first came is gone, and more is the firmness to lead the people here to live a better and happier life.

After inspecting the wheat fields, there was no sound on the way back to the village.In this yellow land lacking vegetation, it is rare to hear a cicada singing in the hot summer.Under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, three or two local dogs were lying on the ground under the heat and sticking out their tongues. They were originally the most dominant in the village, and they were also depressed at this time.Tang Guo was amused by their listless appearance, thinking that these guys would have such a day.

Two days later, every household was busy with the summer harvest, and everyone who was able to move in the family went to the ground without exception.The villagers looked at the much denser wheat fields than in previous years, all of them were smiling, and their movements of waving their sickles were also very neat and powerful.Even though the weather was hot, sweat printed white marks on the clothes, but it didn't affect the enthusiasm of everyone.The children in the village also did their best to help in the fields. The older ones cut off the wheat stalks like the adults at home, and the younger ones ran back and forth to serve tea and water for the adults.

Most of the things floating in the dry air are praises for the village cadres who helped them get rid of poverty. Even the water use is not as carefully planned as before.Although it is not possible to use water indiscriminately like areas with abundant water sources, there is no problem with normal daily life.In addition, the poverty alleviation cadres have vigorously developed the handicraft industry with local characteristics according to the actual situation in the local area. This has given the left-behind women something to do and money to earn, and their living conditions have improved a lot compared to previous years.Today, Tang Guo and other poverty alleviation cadres plan to lead educated women in villages and towns to form digital sales teams.In this way, we can not only learn advanced sales methods in time, but also sell local specialties better and faster.

"As long as we work together towards one goal, a happier life will surely be achieved sooner."
