After dismissing the neighbors and the leading figures in the village, Zhang Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

For these neighbors, Zhang Feng doesn’t have much likes or dislikes in his heart. After all, he has experienced it once in a dream. When he sees these smiling faces, either passionate or flattering, the feeling in his heart is very flat, like an old man who has gone through vicissitudes of life is looking back. As in the past, all that is left is the aftertaste, lacking the enthusiasm that young people deserve.

The eldest sister Zhang Jing and sister-in-law Wang Hui both went to the kitchen to help. The nephew Zhang Yuan and Fang Qian ran around in the yard, and from time to time they climbed into Zhang Feng’s car to show off proudly. It was the eldest brother Zhang Ke who rarely accompanied him. In front of his father, Fang Lan ran to the kitchen chef. Don't look at the woman in the kitchen, but Fang Lan was even better when talking about cooking skills.

Zhang Ke smiled and asked, "Why didn't you come back without Xiaolan? It's easy to come back even if you go to work."

The state-owned chemical factory where Yang Xiaolan is located is not a county enterprise, but a large state-owned enterprise. It is directly under the Ministry of Ordnance Industry. The secretary of the factory director is at the same level as the secretary of the mayor and municipal party committee of Xinyang City. There is almost no contact with the local government. The employees here also come from all over the country. For example, Yang Xiaolan's father is from Guizhou and his mother is from Chongqing. After graduating from Sichuan University, they went to the factory together.

When Yang Xiaolan’s parents first arrived at the factory, they lived in the workers’ dormitory. The two started living together when they were in college, and they were officially married shortly after they were in the factory. Because the single dormitory was inconvenient, they simply rented a house in the nearby countryside. Live in Zhang's house.

In fact, Yang Xiaolan’s childhood was played with Zhang Feng and Luo Tingfeng and others. Zhang Feng has followed the health maintenance techniques passed down by her grandparents since she was a child, so she is in excellent health, and she is a well-deserved king of children. Because my father was a village cadre and later went to work in the town, he was also more prestigious, but the trouble with Zhang Feng was good and bad.

Yang Xiaolan’s background is considered to be the best, working family, upbringing, and good-looking, so she has always been the object of everyone vying to make friends with each other, perhaps because she lives in the Zhang family, the two are naturally closer. Some did not separate until after school. Yang Xiaolan went to the school for children of the chemical factory from the beginning of preschool.

In high school, Yang Xiaolan was admitted to Zhou'an County No. 1 Middle School, and was in the same class with Zhang Feng and Luo Tingfeng.

Three years of high school life, the relationship between the three people has always been in a very delicate state.

After graduating, Zhang Feng was admitted to the National Defense University, but Luo Tingfeng was only admitted to the Xinyang Teachers College. The most surprising thing was that Yang Xiaolan actually failed the ranking, but she did not repeat her studies. Instead, she trained in the factory’s education center for half a year. Immediately he entered a chemical plant and worked in a service company. A few years later, he took over his mother's shift and worked as a laboratory technician in the Psychological Laboratory of the Central China.

After Zhang Feng came back from the army, by chance, she met Yang Xiaolan’s mother in her own pharmacy. The county bought a house and plans to get married on the National Day.

A sudden dream changed the trajectory of Zhang Feng's destiny. Similarly, Yang Xiaolan's trajectory of destiny also deviated.

The experience in the dream left Zhang Feng an indelible mark, making it difficult for him to face Yang Xiaolan again.

During that period of life, Yang Xiaolan married Luo Tingfeng shortly after Zhang Feng went to prison. After Zhang Feng was released from prison, Yang Xiaolan and Luo Tingfeng's daughter Luo Yang was already eighteen years old.

Although Zhang Feng suffered a lot of injuries from Yang Xiaolan and Luo Tingfeng, the daughters of Yang Luo and Luo Tingfeng have been with Zhang Feng. When Zhang Feng forced to flee overseas, Luo Yang did not hesitate to leave home. It took several years of work to find Zhang Feng in the United States, and Luo Yang never left until the end of Zhang Feng's dream.

What kind of reincarnation is this.

Today I don’t know how many times someone mentioned Yang Xiaolan in the ear. Zhang Feng felt another irritability for no reason, but he couldn’t explain it to others. Moreover, if he broke up with Yang Xiaolan for no reason, it seemed impossible to justify. , I am afraid that no one from family, relatives or friends will stand by his side.

Yang Xiaolan’s impression of her family is very good. If there is no such dream, Yang Xiaolan is undoubtedly the ideal wife in Zhang Feng’s mind. Needless to say, she looks and figure. Even with the eyes of Zhang Feng for two generations, she feels that Yang Xiaolan is definitely a top-notch beauty. , The temperament is also supple, it is almost difficult to pick out what makes Zhang Feng dissatisfied.

That damn dream, Zhang Feng didn’t know whether to thank him or hate him. The memory in the dream made it difficult for Zhang Feng to regard Yang Xiaolan as a lover of the past. Even though the scene in the dream did not happen in reality, his actions would treat Yang Xiaolan. It is too unfair, but the thorn in his heart has been buried, and Zhang Feng himself cannot convince himself.

"I don't know if she has gone to work," Zhang Fengqiang restrained his impatience and found an excuse for himself: "I have been on business for several days, and forgot to bring the pager when I left. I haven't seen her since I came back. I was tired after a few days, so I asked the leader for a few days off. I plan to come back and take a good rest. Even the Public Security Bureau hasn’t even been able to take care of it.”

"I've been on a business trip, no wonder I haven't been able to get in touch these days," Zhang Ke smiled relievedly, and said: "I went to do personal affairs for the leader, or maybe even the mule doesn't know where you are. Go to the store and ask me."

"Did Luo Tingfeng say anything?" It's not the first time I heard that Luo Tingfeng was inquiring about his whereabouts. Zhang Feng didn't have any anger. The guy grew up playing with him since he was a child, and he grew up with several hairs To be clear, it is normal to help Qian Qingzhi's group of people to find their whereabouts. It is estimated that no one has been found, and Qian Qingzhi's reprimand is not rare.

"That's not true," Zhang Ke said after thinking about it. "Just say that you are looking for something urgent, so you can contact him as soon as there is news. By the way, he told me the news that you are promoted to the director, otherwise, how can I come back in time ."

Zhang Feng was promoted and became the director of the county public security bureau. The happiest person was Zhang Ke. Unlike other people in the family who were just happy for Zhang Feng, what Zhang Ke saw was that his younger brother could give him a job as director of the public security bureau. The benefits and umbrellas brought, at least on this site in Zhou'an County, there are not many people who dare to trouble him.

Among Zhang Ke’s tobacco and alcohol business, the most profitable piece is fake cigarettes, fake alcohol and government procurement. Without Zhang Feng’s identity asylum, it is really difficult for him to play around in Zhou’an County. Zhang Feng has not recovered before. At that time, although Zhang Ke was doing a good job in his business, he was far from able to compare with the present. He used to earn ten and he couldn't lose half of his money, but now he earns one point and one point is in his pocket. The difference is just that. too big.

"Dad, I'll go to bed for a while, and you'll call me later for dinner." Zhang Feng felt something in his heart. He was a little impatient to listen to the bullshit here, so he found an excuse and turned back to his study.

There is nothing else in the Zhang family, but there are enough houses. This can be regarded as a characteristic of the countryside. Zhang Feng is the only college student in the family. It is undisputed to have a study room.
