Before going to university, Ding Yinan never left the small county where he grew up.
Later, he came to a big city to go to university. Unlike other children who came out of the mountains, he did not dare to compete with the children in the city. First, he was selected as a pacesetter to lead the phalanx due to his outstanding performance in the military training, and later in the official election because of his popularity, he was selected as the squad leader.
In the eyes of his classmates, Ding Yinan is almost omnipotent. During college, at least three girls pursued him overtly and secretly. However, Ding Yinan discovered early on that he preferred to stay with boys, and as his knowledge became wider and wider, he gradually realized the fact that he was gay.
If I have to say it, Huo Zhixiao should be the first real similarity that Ding Yinan met.
Not long after joining the job, Ding Yinan went to Huo Zhixiao's home to pick him up for work. When Ding Yinan was unprepared to see two naked men lying on the big bed, the shock he received at that moment was no less than discovering that a child who grew up in the city could not cook.
But on the surface, he was still as calm and calm as ever, just like when he encountered a sudden tire blowout.
Take out the jack from the bottom of the car, and throw the replaced tire into the trunk. The trunk of the off-road vehicle is relatively high. Ding Yinan didn't pay attention. His elbow and waist rubbed against the tire, and dirt appeared on his shirt. Mark of.
I have to have dinner with the village leader of Sanyang Village later, so it is naturally impossible to meet him in dirty clothes.
"Master Huo, get in the car first." Ding Yinan took out the bottled water from the trunk, washed his hands, and said to Huo Zhixiao.
Huo Zhixiao watched the whole tire changing teaching, and at this moment he was finally willing to look away from Ding Yinan. He responded with a "yes", and then returned to the passenger seat.
After Ding Yinan waited for Huo Zhixiao to get into the car, he took out a clean shirt from the trunk and changed at the back of the car.
He didn't notice that Huo Zhixiao in the car kept tilting his head lazily, watching his every move from the rearview mirror.
After another hour, the two finally arrived at the county seat directly under Sanyang Village.
This county is slightly larger than Ding Yinan's hometown, and there are electric tricycles on the roads, and the middle school in the county seems to have been renovated recently. Ding Yinan hadn't been back to his hometown for a long time, looking at the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but feel kind.
At this time, the party secretary of Sanyang Village had been waiting for a long time. As soon as the two got out of the car, they were taken into a restaurant by the roadside by the enthusiastic party secretary.
When working on projects in the city, it's not that Ding Yinan has never dealt with officials. He imagined that the secretary of the Zhongcun Party Committee might be a bit of an official, but the branch secretary surnamed Liu was much more plain than he had imagined. He spoke with a local accent and his face was rough and dark. run inside.
"Teachers, you're welcome, just order whatever you want." Zhishu Liu offered to pour tea for the two, and said cheerfully.
Although Huo Zhixiao would secretly complain to Ding Yinan that this place is crappy, but when facing work, he would still show due professionalism.
"Thank you secretary." Huo Zhixiao politely took a look at the menu, and then pushed the menu in front of Ding Yinan.
In this era of rapidly rising prices, it costs fifty or sixty yuan to go out to eat a little stir-fry. However, the price of meals in the countryside is extremely friendly, and a plate of meat dishes only costs more than ten yuan.
Ding Yinan ordered two meat, two vegetables, and one soup according to the portion for three people, and then listened to Liu Zhishu chatting about the situation in Sanyang Village.
"There are about a hundred families in our village, and the families are basically old people and children. The children have to walk an hour every day to study in the middle school in the county. I just want to have a library in our village. The children will be so happy ?”
"I hope our library can be more spacious, at least it has a second floor, and there is a study room or something, which is convenient for children to study."
"As for the location of the library, I have already discussed it with the village chief. It's in the open space at the head of the village..."
When Liu Zhishu introduced the situation of Sanyang Village, he kept talking to Ding Yinan, and even after the waiter brought the food, he immediately pushed him to Ding Yinan.
After a while, Ding Yinan realized the reason, he had to interrupt Liu Zhishu, pointed to Huo Zhixiao beside him and said: "Liu Zhishu, this is the designer."
"Ah?" Liu Zhishu was obviously stunned for a moment, and said, "I saw you ordering just now, and thought you were the one who made the decisions."
Liu Zhishu is also outspoken, and directly speaks out what is in his heart.
"Other things are up to him." Huo Zhixiao continued, "I'm in charge of the design."
—That being said, the premise for Ding Yinan to be the master is also because he will put Huo Zhixiao's needs first.
"Besides those just now," Huo Zhixiao said again, "Are there any other requirements?"
"Others..." Liu Zhishu thought for a while, "Can we build a small playground next to the library? Put up a basketball hoop, put some table tennis tables, and let the children play."
The playground is not a part of the library, so according to previous project experience, it should be an additional price.
Ding Yinan could see that Liu Zhishu was thinking about children in his heart, and he himself grew up in such an environment, so he could somewhat embody it in himself. He was afraid that Huo Zhixiao would refuse, so he seldom took the initiative to say: "There is no problem with these."
Huo Zhixiao took a look at Ding Yinan when he heard the words, but didn't express his opinion, which was regarded as acquiescing to his statement.
There was no place to stay in Sanyang Village, so after lunch, Zhishu Liu took the two of them to the only hotel in the county.
It is said to be a hotel, but it is actually a two-story building with a total of ten rooms on the first and second floors.
The boss greeted Liu Zhishu familiarly, then took a key from behind the counter and handed it to Ding Yinan.
Ding Yinan looked at the key in his hand, subconsciously said: "Where is the other key?"
"What other key?" Liu Zhishu reacted, patted the back of his head and said, "Oh, we only have one key for each room here, do you need two keys?"
What Ding Yinan needs is not two keys, but two rooms.
"We want to live separately." Ding Yinan said tactfully.
"Separate?" Liu Zhishu looked at the boss and asked, "Do we have any more rooms?"
"Where is there?" the boss said, "The city leaders are going to come to the county to inspect these two days."
"This is a bit difficult." Liu Zhishu expressed embarrassment, "Our room is indeed a bit small, can the two teachers make it up? After the city leaders leave tomorrow, I will make room for you."
Ding Yinan didn't dislike the small size of the room, but it was difficult for him to explain to Liu Zhishu whether men and women could accept or not kiss each other.
"It's okay." Huo Zhixiao took the key from Ding Yinan's hand and said to Liu Zhishu, "We'll just live in one room."
