The cart stopped at the gate of the guest house. The staff in the guest house had already been waiting outside.

The leader is the secretary and mayor of Qinghe Town. As for the leaders of Yantian County, they are still on the road because of inconvenient communication and transportation.

When Li Zheng got off the car, he saw an acquaintance, Master Liu from the guest house. Li Zheng still remembered the scallion fish he cooked. The taste was amazing.

Li Zheng smiled and nodded to Master Liu in the horrified eyes of Master Liu, and then chatted with Qiu Zhengye and others into the guest house.

"The conditions are simple, please Haihan." Qiu Zhengye smiled.

"You are too humble. It's great here."

What David said was not polite. Although Qinghe Town is not wealthy, the guest house is well built.

There used to be a naval base near Qinghe Town. When China and the Soviet Union had a good relationship, experts from the Soviet Union often came here to instruct technology. They lived in the guest house in the town.

If you want to suffer, you will suffer yourself, and you must not suffer from foreign guests. At that time, the conditions of the people were difficult, but the guest house built 30 years later did not look shabby. This is also a characteristic of the times.

After a busy day, everyone was really tired. Therefore, they didn't say much in the hall, and each took the key and went back to the room to rest.

There are two common staff, and Liang Zhe, David and Li Zheng each.

Li Zheng was surprised that he still had this treatment, and smiled and thanked Qiu Zhengye.

Qiu Zhengye waved his hand again and again. He could see clearly that although Li Zheng came as an entourage of Roche, whether it was Mr. David Andorio, the executive vice president of Roche Asia, or the head of the Liang family. They are all very convinced of Li Zheng.

Especially this Mr. Liang and Qiu Zhengye observed the interaction between the two and found that Li Zheng faintly occupied the leading position among the two.

Therefore, when contacting the Qinghe Town Guest House, he specifically asked the secretary to ask for a single room for Li Zheng.

After Li Zheng and others went upstairs, the staff members who remained in the hall started talking.

"Hey, old Liu. The young man who just smiled at you, how do I look like the Li family boy?"

"How is this possible! The people here are all big shots! Didn't see Governor Qiu personally accompany him!"

"Are the foreigners this time the same group as the last time?"

"I don't know. Foreigners all look the same."

"By the way, Accountant Xu, isn't your husband in the county? Is there any news?" The aunt at the front desk of the guest house suddenly turned to ask Xu Fen, who had been silent.

Xu Fen is the accountant in the guest house, Wang Aiguo's lover, and Wang Chengcai's mother.

Everyone said that Zhou Deqing killed Xiaohe and Yang Kaijian, but Xu Fen knew that Yang Kaijian had killed Xiaohe. On the night of Yang Kaijian's death, Yang Sheng took Wang Aijuan to the Wang family.

Yang Sheng, who has always respected Wang Aiguo, became angry with Wang Aiguo for the first time.

Yang Sheng pointed to Wang Aiguo's nose and called Wang's son a harm. Yang Kaijian and Xiao He, one is a student and the other is the younger brother in the guest house, the only intersection between the two is Wang Chengcai.

Because of Xu Fen's relationship, Xiaohe has always been Wang Chengcai's follower. Every time Wang Chengcai goes to the guest house, Xiaohe "brother Wang, brother Wang" saddles the horse. This is no secret in the guest house.

Xu Fen regained her senses abruptly. Faced with a colleague who looked at her strangely, she smiled stiffly, "I never heard him talk about it."

Xu Fen naturally knew the purpose of the foreigner's trip. Not only that, but Wang Aiguo tried his best to get a factory quota. The fewer people who know about this, the better. Xu Fen doesn't want to have more competitors.

"What are you doing! Pay attention to the influence. Why should you go!" Director Liu came out of the office and shouted.

The crowd in the hall rushed away, leaving Master Liu, who was still stunned, and muttered to himself: "Just now, it seems that it is really the Li family boy."

In the evening, Li Chaoyang was at home.

"Dad, I don't want to go." Li Chaoyang stood in the living room, his hands clenched into fists.

Father Li fiercely put down the fruit basket he was carrying, "No? Do you know how many people are fighting for the quota of this foreign-invested factory? If it weren't for your old man, I used to have something to do with the army. There is no right to fight!"

"Chaoyang, you can leave it to your dad. If you don't settle things down today and wait for the firecrackers to be released for the factory completion ceremony tomorrow, this quota will be even more difficult to fight for!" Mother Li said politely.

Li Chaoyang's nails were deeply embedded in the flesh of his palm.

He didn't know the preciousness of the quota of foreign factories. Unlike later generations, working in factories in the 1980s was an iron job that almost everyone wanted, especially in high-efficiency companies, where all civil servants sharpened their heads and squeezed into it. In those days, it was commonplace for civil servants to go to enterprises improperly.

What's more, the treatment of this foreign-funded enterprise is much better than that of ordinary enterprises. The well-informed people in Yantian County, and even in the Shennan area and Haidong Province are already ready to move.

Li's father can be regarded as the first month to come. His old leader was appointed as the security captain of the complex foreign-owned factory. In addition to bringing a few old men over, there are several vacancies.

When Li's father was drinking with him, he heard that foreigners bought several cars and put them in the factory, but they couldn't find a driver, so he asked him to find the driver.

Father Li immediately fell in love. Drivers were a very popular industry in the 1980s. With this skill, they are not afraid to travel all over the world. Moreover, in this era, there are not a few cars in a town. As a driver, you drive in and out of the town in a small car every day. What an exciting thing.

According to Li's father, if you become a driver, you can marry a better wife.

"But... but I want to take the college entrance examination!" Li Chaoyang suddenly looked up. Many of the people in their class have access to their homes, and many of them have dropped out of school one after another.

Originally it was the same bitter, haha, the hard brother who had to hesitate to buy a pop of ice for a long time. Suddenly, the other party became lavishly selling, making money and spending on his own, and even helping the family subsidize the household.

Li Chaoyang said he was not envious, it must be a lie.

But what Li Zheng said that afternoon tied his restless heart tightly like a rope.

"This world is huge. The surface of the earth is 510 million square kilometers, and the land is about 149 million square kilometers. And we stretch our arms and lie down, and we can only occupy 2 square meters at most. We live in this corner of Qinghe Town, just It's like a frog at the bottom of a well. The sky you look up at is only as big as the head of the well. Reading and taking exams are the fastest way to jump out of this well or to expand our head."

Li Zheng tapped his fingers on the desktop and said. At that time, the book on his desk happened to turn over the page of the world map.

He wants to read! He wants to take the exam! He wanted to see the big world that Li Zheng said!

"College entrance examination? Li Chaoyang, you are only a freshman now! Two years from the third year of high school, two years, other people can go to the ground! Also, can you guarantee that you can pass the college entrance examination? How many people in Qinghe Town take the exam every year Go to college!" Father Li wanted to throw the fruit basket on his son's head.

"But Li Zheng..."

"Li Zheng, Li Zheng, it's Li Zheng every day. The Li family kid has poured you some tricky soup. Now no one knows where he is going. The town says that he sneaked into the Xiangjiang River. They are smarter than you. That's too much. How high is Xiangjiang's salary! He earns one year, you have to earn ten or eight years!"

Li Chaoyang pressed his lips tightly, and said nothing.

"You have to go if you don't go today! Otherwise, you don't recognize my dad!" Father Li said harshly.

Li Chaoyang raised his head in amazement, Li's mother stomped her feet, gently pulled Li Chaoyang aside, and whispered to him: "Chaoyang, just listen to your father. You know your father's character has always been the most face-conscious, this time But for your sake, I told people a whole lot of good things. I drank wine with them for more than a month. You know, since the last time I came back from the hospital. Your dad hasn't touched alcohol for two years."

"Dad..." Li Chaoyang was moved after all. He blinked his astringent eye sockets and took the initiative to pick up the fruit basket on the coffee table, "Dad, let's go."

Father Li sighed and finally smiled. He rubbed his son's head vigorously, "In the future, you will thank me."

The dim street lights slowly turned on, and a tricycle carrying the teenager and the fruit basket passed through the center of Qinghe Town, and slowly drove towards the deep medicine factory not far away.

Li Zheng didn't know that his first true friend in his life was facing the biggest choice in his life. Not long after he finished washing, there was a knock on the door.

Opening the door, Liang Zhe, dressed in casual clothes, stood by the door.

"This is your hometown, don't you go for a walk?" Liang Zhe said.

Li Zheng touched his nose, "This is not Xiangjiang, and most people are already sleeping at this point. But... if you want to see it, I can take you to my house."

Li Zheng's feelings for Qinghe Town are very complicated. This is where his life started, but in Li Zheng's mind, if Xiangjiang belongs to him, Qinghe Town belongs to the original Li Zheng.

He...subconsciously avoiding the original traces of Li Zheng.

"Okay." The corner of Liang Zhe's lips raised a slight arc.

Li Zheng chuckled slightly. As a biologist, how can he be dominated by the stressful emotions of humans, and subconsciously avoiding it is not desirable.

The two did not notify anyone, and took advantage of the night to slowly walk towards Li's house.

Since Roche built a factory here, the roads in Qinghe Town were covered with cement, and the roads originally made of mud were also covered with fine stones.

There are still not many street lights, but combined with the lights from the townspeople's homes on both sides of the road, it is enough for Li Zheng and the two to accurately find the way to Li's house.

"You should bring a flashlight." Li Zheng said with a shrug.

When Liang Zhe heard the words, his right hand moved slightly, and then he grasped Li Zheng's hand in surprise.

"I will lead you." Liang Zhe said seriously.

The dry and warm temperature from the palm of the hand seemed to make the temperature of the early spring night rise a lot.

Li Zheng raised his head and glanced at Liang Zhe. He looked straight ahead, his lips stretched straight, and he seemed to notice Li Zheng’s gaze. Liang Zhe’s expression seemed a little stiff, holding Li Zheng’s. The hand did not consciously add a little force.

Li Zheng blinked, he realized that he didn't seem to hate this feeling.

Qinghe Town is not big, and after about twenty minutes, Li's house appeared in front of them.

"It seems that my family is lucky." Not far from Li Zheng's house, a new street lamp was erected.

"Help me." Li Zheng said as he put one hand on Liang Zhe's shoulder, he leaped on the concrete platform with one hand. In Liang Zhe's puzzled gaze, he held a hand on the wall. After reaching the broadcast under the eaves, a key quickly appeared in his hand.

After getting the key, Li Zheng jumped from the high platform. Because it was dark, he stepped on a stone and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Liang Zhe held him back.

"In the future, don't hide in such a dangerous place." Liang Zhe said with a pursed mouth.

Li Zheng waved his hand, "Don't worry. I have always been lucky."

He opened the door and turned on the lights. It has been a long time since no one lived, and a thick layer of dust has fallen inside the house. He glanced across the familiar and unfamiliar room and spread his hands. "I said, there is nothing good to see."

Obviously Liang Zhe didn't think so. His gaze swept across the slightly yellowed wall, across the wall calendar with the era background, and across the clock that had stopped turning.

The square wooden table was surrounded by four benches. Liang Zhe sat on the bench with his back straight.

"Dirty." Li Zheng pulled the person up from the stool and looked at Liang Zhe with a slightly aggrieved expression.

At Liang Zhe's request, Li Zheng took him to visit all the rooms of Li's house. There were a few rooms that even Li Zheng hadn't read carefully, but he had read them all this time.

The Li family is not big, but they have created four rooms, one for Father Li, one for Zhou Sitian, one for Li Zheng, and one...Because Zhou Sitian is so secretive, he has not observed it carefully.

Compared with the other three, the decoration of this room is much more artistic. There are rows of books on the bookshelf, and there is a set of female professional clothes on the bed. The breath of life is very strong.

Li Zheng swept across the room, and a trace of deep thought flashed in his eyes. It seemed that Zhao Qiuhua and Li Qiang had been sleeping in separate rooms for a long time.

"Bang Bang Bang" suddenly came the sound of heavy objects knocking downstairs.

"Who is upstairs! You'd better get down right away, I have already notified the police station!" A loud male voice came downstairs.

Li Zheng was a little familiar, and after searching his memory, he had a look on his face.

"Brother Xiaodong, it's me." He walked out of the room and responded at the stairs.

The sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.

Zheng Xiaodong trot to the top of the stairs and looked up.

"Li Zheng?! It's you! You are back!"

The author has something to say: Yu Changlong: Oh, no, I will go to work tomorrow! ! Sapo Mai Meng doesn't want to go to work

Li Zheng: What are you hypocritical? Haven't you already gone to work overtime today...

Long fish: How the same! I went to work until ten o'clock today!

Li Zheng: Oh...indifferent face
