Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 596 Lou Xinyu

Lou Xinyu's military experience was not long. He only found a way to become a soldier after finishing high school.

After serving in the army for three years, because he wanted to make progress, he risked his life to perform meritorious service. As a result, he received the merit, but had to leave with regret.

After recuperating for half a year, he returned to his hometown and changed his job to work in the local police station.

He is young, somewhat handsome, has a formal job, and a generous bonus. It can be said that he is a hot commodity in the marriage and love market.

Unfortunately, his parents died young, and the grandparents who raised him also passed away one after another. There are only some distant relatives left in the family.

But because he has to work in the county, he will naturally not return to the village to live.

Unlike other young people, he doesn't want to be free and unrestrained when he has money and leisure, but wants to get married. Because only by getting married can he have a family again.

After reporting to the police station later in the year, when talking to the leader in charge, he directly asked the leader in charge to introduce him to a suitable person.

Before he went to work, he inquired about the personnel relations of the police station from all aspects, and knew that deputy police chief Gao Guobing had made many contributions and was a very good person, with a good reputation in the police station.

Everyone in the police station knew that Gao Guobing had a nephew named Gao Mingcheng. Gao Mingcheng opened a Xinxin clothing store in the county. Many of his colleagues in the police station were regular customers of this store.

He was vigorous and resolute in his work, and Lou Xinyu was born in the military and was also a vigorous and resolute person.

But after hearing the basic situation of Gao Shufang, Lou Xinyu suddenly understood, and then said: "Gao Bureau, I have actually met her. Years ago, I went to Xinxin Clothing Store to buy clothes. The person who received me at that time , that’s her, I quite like her. It’s cold now, and it’s not good for her to be a little girl running around. Let’s just meet her in a clothing store. "

Because in the past few days, Zhao Dongmei had told him about this matter frequently.

The first candidate that came to his mind was naturally Gao Shufang.

When Huang Dazhi came back and told him that Gao Shufang was willing to meet and chat, Gao Guobing naturally knew what to do.

So he asked Huang Dazhi to make a trip to see if Gao Shufang was willing.

Gao Guobing nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to the clothing store together after get off work."

Furthermore, Gao Guobing is his leader in charge. If he marries the person introduced by Gao Guobing, then the relationship between him and Gao Guobing will be closer.

Gao Guobing originally wanted Lou Xinyu to visit his home after get off work, and Gao Shufang would also go there, so even if it didn't work, there wouldn't be any gossip.

Lou Xinyu wanted to make progress. When he was in the army, he trained hard and risked his life to perform meritorious service. Now that he has changed his career, he also wants to make progress, but he is just here, so where will he get the good opportunity?

There are people in the court who like to be officials, that's how it is.

Gao Guobing glanced at him, not too surprised.

After learning the news, Lou Xinyu naturally went to see the situation and buy new clothes for the New Year.

So Lou Xinyu asked Gao Guobing to help introduce the target on the grounds that his parents were dead and he had no relatives.

Lou Xinyu was a scout. It seemed that he had already inquired about the personnel relations of the police station before joining the job.

But in his opinion, Lou Xinyu is indeed good. Although he can't use his left hand due to injury, catching criminals depends not only on brute force, but also on brainpower. It is necessary to peel off the cocoons from many clues, so as to catch the criminals. Caught.

No, the clothes he was wearing were bought at Xinxin Clothing Store.

Gao Guobing may not be unaware of Lou Xinyu's idea. Although Gao Guobing's academic qualifications are not high, he is also scheming and an old man with many years of experience in the workplace.

Therefore, when Lou Xinyu expressed his closeness to him, Gao Guobing also seriously advised him on suitable candidates.

This move is actually similar to how a newly-qualified Jinshi in ancient times married the legitimate daughter of a master in order to gain a foothold in the imperial court. Once they were related by marriage, they were naturally different from others.

After talking to Lou Xinyu, Gao Guobing asked Huang Dazhi to make another trip and inform Gao Shufang of the time and place of the meeting, so that Gao Shufang could be mentally prepared in advance.

Gao Shufang was a little nervous at first, but when she heard that the other party came to the store to meet her, she instantly became less nervous.

This is an environment she is familiar with, and her relatives are around her. At worst, it will work, but it won't work if it doesn't!

The only problem is the light, there happened to be a power outage today!

"Don't worry, you can light a few more candles!" Gao Mingcheng said easily.

At this time, due to frequent power outages, every household has candles, and some people even use kerosene lamps.

At this time, Hu Yinchen said: "I see there are not many candles in the drawer, so let me buy a pack of candles!"

Candles are something that is often used, so Duomei gave her money and asked Hu Yinchen to buy them quickly.

Although it was Gao Shufang's blind date, the onlookers were quite positive.

Not long after, I bought candles. The common candles these days are all red, and some are even mixed with cheap spices. When lit, there is a nice aroma.

After lighting the candle, tilt the candle so that the candle oil drips on the table. Before the candle oil becomes dry and hard, immediately press the end of the candle hard on it and hold it with your hands for a while. After a while, the candle It will stand firmly on the table.

Of course, in addition to this method, you can also put the candles on special candlesticks. There are two pairs of beautiful iron candlesticks in the store. Judging from the style, they are antique and have a bit of a palace feel.

At this moment, many beauties started to light the candle, then fixed it on the candlestick, and then placed the candlestick in the appropriate position.

Everyone looked at it and felt that after lighting four candles, the light in the store was still not particularly bright. This was because the clothing store was relatively large, so the entire store could not be brightened.

But it doesn't matter, as long as you move the candle holder, you can make the light as bright or dark as you like.

In this environment, it was soon time to get off work, and Gao Shufang couldn't help but become nervous.

She stared at the door, waiting for someone to come.

Due to a sudden power outage today, business was not very good throughout the afternoon. It was only five o'clock in the afternoon, but the light on the street was already a little dark.

The shops on the roadside looked even darker, but in the darkness, there was another flickering candlelight, vaguely illuminating the furnishings in the store.

Lou Xinyu followed Gao Guobing. After leaving the police station, he walked to Xinxin Clothing Store in just a few minutes.

Compared with the shops on both sides, the light of Xinxin Clothing Store is brighter because there are more candles lit in the store.

"Uncle, you're here, come in and sit down." Gao Mingcheng had sharp eyes and immediately stepped forward to meet Gao Guobing, but his eyes soon fell on the young man behind Gao Guobing.

Compared with teachers who are less literary, Lou Xinyu, who was born in the military, scores well in terms of appearance. Noticing Gao Mingcheng's appraising gaze, Lou Xinyu smiled back.

"Well, I haven't been to your store for a long time, so I came over to sit down. This is the new police officer, his name is Lou Xinyu." Gao Guobing said with a smile, leading Lou Xinyu into the store.

As soon as he walked into the store, Gao Guobing felt that the light in the store was getting brighter. He followed the light and looked over, and saw Hu Yinchen quickly lighting two more candles.

Well, although there is a power outage, the light now is no worse than turning on the lights!

The store is full of goods, so if you want to sit down and talk, you have to make some space. Fortunately, there are two types of shelves, one is immovable and the other is movable. After moving the movable ones, This frees up a spacious space.

After Hu Yinchen lit the candle, she quickly poured two cups of hot tea.

"Gao Ju, Xiao Lou, let's have tea." Hu Yinchen said with a smile. She was relatively old, so it was not too much to call Lou Xinyu "Xiao Lou".

Lou Xinyu took the tea cup with both hands and thanked him with a smile.

Gao Shufang stood there motionless, but she was actually very nervous.

When Li Fei led a group of single male teachers over in the morning, she was not so nervous, because it was her one-sided view of others.

But now, it is a more formal blind date.

She raised her eyes and looked at Lou Xinyu. As soon as she met Lou Xinyu's eyes, she quickly lowered her head and ran away like a frightened rabbit.

Therefore, she did not see Lou Xinyu's interesting eyes.

Of course, Lou Xinyu's every move cannot escape the eyes of the onlookers, especially Gao Mingcheng.

Gao Guobing was the introducer, so he started to introduce the two parties: "Shufang, although Xiao Lou is new here, he is a very nice person. He is from Huyu Town, but he has no relatives at home. He said that he will be in the county in the future. Life. Xiao Lou, this is Gao Shufang. She lives in the same village as me and is considered a relative of the same family. She is only two years younger than you, so you two are about the same age."

Lou Xinyu stretched out his hand with a dignified attitude and said, "Hello, Comrade Gao Shufang."

At this time, few people called "comrade", so Gao Shufang couldn't help but smile when the word "comrade" came out.

She also stretched out her hand, shook Lou Xinyu's hand, and said, "Hello, Comrade Lou Xinyu."

After shaking hands, the relationship between the two seemed to be getting closer.

……

Lou Xinyu didn't stay here long because he just came here for a meeting, so Gao Guobing led Lou Xinyu away after ten minutes.

But before leaving, Lou Xinyu got permission to go out with Gao Shufang.

After the others left, Duo Mei couldn't wait to ask Gao Shufang how she felt.

Gao Shufang's cheeks were red with embarrassment, and her eyes were glowing under the candlelight. It is said that beauty can be seen under the lamp. At this moment, Gao Shufang seemed much more beautiful than before.

She said softly: "We just met once. I don't know if it will work yet."

Hu Yinchen laughed and said: "Nonsense, Xiao Lou bought clothes in the store before the new year, and you were the one who welcomed her! This is our second meeting! In the past, when we were talking about marriage, we only met two or three times. It’s about to be decided.”

This is not because Hu Yinchen has a good memory, but because Lou Xinyu told the truth, because saying this will give people a feeling of fate.

After Gao Shufang was reminded, she did remember Lou Xinyu's arrival. The customer who was an ordinary customer a few years ago suddenly became her blind date.

Gao Shufang said shyly: "That time doesn't count! There were so many customers coming and going in the store years ago, how could I remember everyone?"

Zhang Jinling, who was standing next to her, also had a smile on her face. She was just about to join in teasing Gao Shufang when she heard Gao Mingcheng say: "Don't ask, let Shufang think about it. Even if you have a good impression, you have to take your time." Come on, you know?"

The last words were said to Gao Shufang.

Gao Shufang understood what her second brother meant, because before she went on a blind date, she had told her that after the blind date was successful, she should not rush to get married immediately. She should get along with her for a year and a half first. Only after they get along for a long time can she Can see a person's true situation.

The person Gao Shufang admired most was her second brother, and she was not in a hurry to get married, so she naturally agreed.

With Gao Mingcheng coming forward, many beauties finally let Gao Shufang go. It was getting late now, so they all went to the backyard kitchen to cook.

Gao Shufang, on the other hand, reached out and touched her cheek, only to feel that her cheek was burning hot.

It has to be said that among all the blind dates, Gao Shufang still has a good impression of Lou Xinyu. The most important thing is that Lou Xinyu clearly expressed his affection for Gao Shufang, and Gao Guobing was the matchmaker from the beginning. .

This portion is naturally heavier than the previous one.

Even so, Gao Shufang still listened to her second brother's words and decided to take her time and get in touch with him more before making a decision.

Just as she was thinking this, Lou Xinyu came to see her again the next day!

Every day after get off work, Lou Xinyu would go to the clothing store to sit. If there were customers in the store, he would wait patiently. If there were no customers, he would chat with Gao Shufang.

He came every time, but never stayed for a long time. It wasn't until the weekend break that he asked Gao Shufang to go shopping. It turned out that he was not good at buying daily necessities, so he wanted Gao Shufang to help with reference.

Lou Xinyu said sincerely: "I live in the dormitory of the police station now. Not long after I moved in, I haven't bought many things. You also know that I am a grown man and I am really not good at buying those things."

When it comes to shopping, Gao Shufang feels that she is quite good at it. She has read a lot of fashion magazines and knows a little about the latest food, clothing, housing and transportation.

If buying pots and pans, that's something she's even better at.

Since she did have a good impression of Lou Xinyu, Gao Shufang talked to her second brother and happily went shopping with Lou Xinyu in the department store.

The items there are more complete and you can buy most of what you want at one time.

On this day, Gao Shufang became a qualified chief of staff. She bought all kinds of things quickly and well. It wasn't until both of them couldn't carry them anymore that they ended the shopping and took the things to the dormitory.

Lou Xinyu didn't want Gao Shufang to carry anything, but Gao Shufang saw that he was carrying so much, so she took the initiative to share some of the burden.

"Even though I'm a girl, I'm pretty strong!" Gao Shufang said with a smile. She noticed that Lou Xinyu's right hand was carrying a lot of heavy objects, while what he was carrying in his left hand was much lighter.

Gao Shufang has known this for a long time. She visually measured the weight of the items on her left hand and felt quite satisfied.

Although Lou Xinyu can't use his left hand, it is not completely useless. He can still lift a few kilograms of heavy objects.
