night.
County suburbs.
Early eight o'clock.
The sky was dark, and the moonlight was obscured by clouds, making it faintly visible.
Dong Xuebin drove into Jiang's mother's community. After thinking about it, he felt it was inappropriate, so he reversed the Land Rover, found a small alley next to it, parked in it, and then got out of the car and walked into the community. No way, this car is too conspicuous. Who in the Zhenshui County government office doesn't know that it is Dong Xuebin's car? He came to County Magistrate Jiang's mother's house just because the old lady had Alzheimer's disease. Dong Xuebin and Sister Jiang passed away. My lover looks very similar, so coming to help Sister Jiang from driving is not something that can be brought to the table. Naturally, I can't let others know, so it's better to keep a low profile.
Inside the old building.
Dong Xuebin went upstairs and knocked on the door.
With a creak, the door opened.
The person who came out was Jiang Fangfang. She was dressed casually, with a pair of close-fitting fitness pants and a short-sleeved sports T-shirt on top.
"Sister Jiang Fangfang." She called it wrong, so Dong Xuebin quickly changed his name.
Jiang Fangfang stepped aside slightly and said, "Come in, let's see your face."
Dong Xuebin was indeed exhausted, but he still forced a smile and said: "It's okay, I can rest after tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?" Jiang Fangfang glanced at him up and down. "I think you can't survive today. Work can't be delayed, but no matter what, your health doesn't matter. If Lao Zheng hadn't called me, I wouldn't have known. Sit down, I’ll get you something to eat, what do you want to eat?”
"Anything is fine."
“Then let’s have leftovers.”
"Haha, leftovers are best, don't bother."
"Just wait, I'll go to the kitchen to heat it up for you."
"No, I'll go by myself. You've been tired for the whole day."
But just as Dong Xuebin was about to rush to the kitchen, his feet felt weak. He originally wanted to walk forward, but his legs seemed to lose control and his head felt dizzy.
Jiang Fangfang quickly supported him and said, "I'll just say it."
As soon as the bedroom door opened, Mother Jiang came out of the room. She looked at him with a smile, and then her color changed. "1 Xiao Tao is here? Huh? What's the matter, Xiao Tao? What's the matter?"
Dong Xuebin supported Sister Jiang and forced a smile, "Mom, I'm fine."
Jiang’s mother was so anxious, “I can’t even stand anymore, so it’s okay!”
Dong Xuebin said, "I forgot to eat. I'm a little hypoglycemic. I'll just eat something and I'll be fine."
Jiang's mother complained: "Look at you, look at you, you are dying when you work, Fangfang, what else are you doing? Go and heat up your man's food!"
"Yeah." Jiang Fangfang helped Dong Xuebin sit on the chair and entered the kitchen.
Mother Jiang asked, "Are you feeling better? Are you still dizzy? You, you, why don't you let me worry about it? Our children are so tired that you don't even know how to take a break. How many days have you been busy?" Are you really good at forgetting to eat? Come on, drink some water."
"Well, thank you, Mom.
"Stop talking and drink quickly."
Dong Xuebin drank the water and said helplessly: "I'm busy with work these days, and I have no choice but to blame myself. I just worked overtime for a few days, and it's no big deal." The microwave oven rang.
Jiang Fangfang walked out of the kitchen, "It's not just a few days, I've been busy for more than a week. I don't get home until after twelve o'clock every day, and I go out after five o'clock in the morning."
Hearing this, Mother Jiang glared at Dong Xuebin and said, "You are risking your life! How could Lou do this!" After saying that, she also glared at her daughter, "You are the same girl, why don't you talk about your man? Fortunately, it is in our house." We are driving outside, what should we do if we faint? It must be something serious!"
Jiang Fangfang looked at Dong Xuebin, "Go to bed early after dinner."
Dong Xuebin waved his hand, "Don't worry, I have to go back to the foreign businessman."
Jiang Fangfang said slowly: "You are not allowed to go anywhere today, have a good rest."
Dong Xuebin smiled bitterly: "No need, I'm not worried about the signing tomorrow. I want to talk to the investors again tonight to see if they have any concerns."
Ding, when the microwave beeps, it's ready.
"I've said what needs to be said, and I don't care about this night anymore. People have made decisions, and you can't change them with just a few words." Jiang Fangfang went to the kitchen to get the food.
Jiang's mother also said: "Yes, let me sleep after eating and you are not allowed to leave. How can your mother trust you to drive like this? If you are not in good condition tomorrow, you should stay at home and not move tomorrow. Where will you be?" So hard, just listen to me, that’s it.”
The meal is here.
They were all the leftovers from the evening for the two of them.
But Dong Xuebin didn’t care. As soon as Sister Jiang put the dishes on the table, Dong Xuebin picked up the chopsticks and started eating. He was so hungry. He only had time to eat a drawer of steamed buns today, and it was still morning. Yao Cui brought it to him, and then he didn't eat anything. In addition, he had been busy running around for a whole day, which consumed a lot of energy. It's no wonder that Dong Xuebin wasn't hungry. He swept away all the leftovers in three minutes. And Guang also ate three steamed buns. He has never been a big eater, and today may be the biggest meal he has eaten in recent years.
"Phew, delicious."
"Swallow it and then talk."
"Well, swallowed, do you have some water? Fangfang?"
"Yes, I'll get you something hot."
"No, Yaxia's, just cool."
Dong Xuebin and Jiang Fangfang had had some ambiguity for a long time, and the atmosphere at home had also reached a certain level. Dong Xuebin was so brave that he dared to order around County Magistrate Jiang. When she brought water, he drank a large pot of water. Holding her bulging belly, she leaned back in the chair happily, feeling full with enough water and food.
Jiang Fangfang said, neither salty nor cool: "I'll see if you don't eat again in the future."
Dong Xuebin sneered, "No, I really didn't care about it today. I was too busy. In fact, if you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten whether I had eaten for lunch or dinner."
Mother Jiang said amusedly: "Mom is confused, are you also confused?"
Jiang Fangfang said: "He doesn't have enough sleep. He only has four hours a day. He can still hold it for two days, but who can hold it for a week? That is, Xiao Dong and Xiao Tao are in good physical condition. If it had been anyone else, they would have collapsed. ." After putting away the dishes, Jiang Fangfang looked at her watch, "It's almost nine o'clock, please take a rest, Xiao Tao."
Dong Xuebin still said: "But the matter over there in the county"
"Don't worry about it. Just turn off your phone and have a good sleep. I'll make a few calls."
After putting the bowls and chopsticks in the kitchen to soak in water, Jiang Fangfang called Zheng Dayou, "Hey, Director Zheng...well, it's me. County Magistrate Dong almost fainted just now, and his body can't hold on any longer. If the investment is over there tonight, If something happens, please take responsibility. Don't contact County Magistrate Dong. If it doesn't work, you can call me. He is fine. I think he is just tired. Let everyone rest assured. We will ask him to go to the signing meeting tomorrow morning. Well, you guys Just work harder, okay”
Dong Xuebin saw that the situation was irreversible and had no choice but to stay. (To be continued
