The night was dark, and by the time Xia Jian rode his motorcycle home, it was completely dark.

The food has been placed on the table, waiting for Xia Jian to come back to eat. As soon as Xia Jian sat down at the dining table, Sun Yuejuan complained softly: "No matter how busy you are at work, you have to eat!"

"I encountered a special situation and dealt with it. I didn't expect to come back late. Hey! Where is little Chenchen?" Xia Jian said and hurriedly asked his mother, Sun Yuejuan.

While serving him rice, Sun Yuejuan rolled her eyes at him and said, "My child couldn't wait for you any longer, so he just ate some and went to sleep."

"It's just dark, why let him go to bed so early?" Xia Jian chuckled and glanced at Zhao Hong.

Zhao Hong laughed and said: "You are such an idiot. Children are growing up early, so they have to go to bed early and get up early, and they must ensure sufficient sleep time every day. That looks like you! It doesn't matter if you don't sleep for two or three days.

"

Xia Jian knew that he came back late, so he took the initiative to talk to everyone, and the atmosphere gradually relaxed. Zhao Hong secretly glanced at Xia Jian while eating her meal, and asked in a low voice: "What's going on? Isn't that right?

Do you want to arrange some work? I'll be there for a few hours."

"Hi!" Xia Jian sighed helplessly, and then told him about his trip to Zhangyang Village from beginning to end. When Zhao Hong heard this, he smiled coldly and said, "It seems that this Ma Chuntao intends to fight.

your job"

"I think this is an ideological issue and she wants to fight? Why would she do this?" Xia Jian asked a little puzzled.

Zhao Hong laughed and said, "Think about it yourself! Isn't it obvious that this bald man has lice on his head? Are you still pretending not to know, is it interesting?" After Zhao Hong finished speaking, he started to clear away the dishes.

Sun Yuejuan glanced at Xia Jian, lowered her voice and said: "You'd better stay away from this Ma Chuntao. She doesn't look like a stable woman. A woman in her thirties doesn't protect her family, and she still has sex with others."

My husband lives apart. Who does she think she is? It’s really a price drop."

Sun Yuejuan scolded Ma Chuntao angrily. Xia Jian looked confused, and he couldn't figure out why his mother had so many complaints about Ma Chuntao. Logically speaking, she couldn't get along with her.

It is better to say less about some things. Xia Jian glanced at his father Xia Zecheng, who was a little tired, and said with a smile: "Dad! You must be tired! Then go to bed early, we have to go up the mountain tomorrow!"

"Oops! Age is really not forgiving! It's nothing to climb such a mountain back then! Okay, you guys can chat slowly, I have to rest early." After Xia Zecheng finished speaking, he got up and left.

Sun Yuejuan glanced at Zhao Hong who was clearing away the dishes in the kitchen, and then I lowered my voice and said to Xia Jian: "Jian'er! Don't be too annoying. We can't do things like this, and you and Zhao Hong can't do this forever!"

I have to give people an explanation. I understand what this child is thinking, but we can’t do this."

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Xia Jian's heart was in a mess. In short, he still didn't want to get married, and he didn't want to let marriage constrain him. Although he was in his thirties, he always felt that he had not had enough fun.

"Son! Everyone has to go through this when a male is married, and a female is married. You said that Zhao Hong has such a good condition, and it is not easy to get married. She has been single like this, and her mother doesn't even want to go out.

I'm embarrassed to meet people." Sun Yuejuan said and let out a long breath.

Xia Jian thought for a while and asked: "Mom! What do you mean? My son just listens to me."

"Hi! Mom is not an ignorant person. Marriage is no trivial matter. Once you get together, you must be responsible for each other. I don't understand what you young people are talking about about love, but I know that if you have something in your heart

This person, then you have to be responsible for her. Do you understand?" After saying this, Sun Yuejuan left.

Xia Jian sat quietly for a while. It wasn't until Zhao Hong turned off the light in the kitchen that he hurriedly stood up and followed Zhao Hong out.

For some reason, the sky was pitch black, and what was even more unsatisfactory was that the street lights in the village were not on. In the darkness, Xia Jian took two steps and gently grabbed Zhao Hong's hand.

"Zhao Hong! How about we get married!" Xia Jian couldn't help but whisper to Zhao Hong.

When Zhao Hong heard this, he said in a panic: "Shut up! What nonsense are you talking about? I'm fine just like this. Why do I get married? We get married today and divorce tomorrow. You can do it, but I can't."

While the two were talking, Zhao Hong's house arrived. After groping for a while, Zhao Hong found the key and opened the door. The large courtyard was dark. There was no light, which made people feel extremely frightened. Xia Jian

Only then did he realize that Zhao Hong was alone and had been living in such an environment. Wasn't he afraid?

Back in the backyard, Zhao Hong opened the door and turned on the light, and the darkness and fear that enveloped people disappeared. Xia Jian gently held Zhao Hong in his arms and said, "No, we have to get married. Let's get married."

I’m a little worried about you living alone in such a big yard.”

"Okay! Stop being sentimental. There's nothing to worry about. After coming here for so many years, I'm used to this quietness. You can just be your mayor with peace of mind! Of course, with the girl you like, you guys

Just get married! Sister is here to bless you," Zhao Hong said, smiling calmly.

The more she said this, the more uncomfortable Xia Jian felt. He shook his head decisively and said, "It doesn't matter what you say this time. If you don't agree when the time comes, even if it's a robbery, I will kill you."

Grab it”

"Don't be stupid. As long as you have me in your heart, it doesn't matter whether you get married or not. Besides, you know what's wrong with me. You have to find a woman to marry who can carry on the family lineage of your old Xia family, so that she can be worthy of you.

Parents. I will feel at ease in my heart, and our relationship will last forever." Zhao Hong said, and kissed Xia Jian on the face.

Xia Jian was moved by Zhao Hong's thought of caring for him. He pushed Zhao Hong down on the big kang with a sudden movement, and rolled up.

The next day, Zhao Hong, who had gotten up early, suddenly woke up Xia Jian and said, "Get up and take a look, there's something wrong with the weather. It feels like it's going to rain heavily."

When Xia Jian, who was sleeping, heard what Zhao Hong said, he quickly stood up. He put on some clothes casually and ran out of the door. The sky was dark, and it felt like black clouds were constantly rising. Strangely,

Even the air felt dull.

"No, the situation is not good. You should inform Chen Erniu and the others immediately. There is no need to go to Southeast Mountain today. We will clean up the Xichuan River. We will also check the drainage systems of the breeding farms and vegetable greenhouses. The speed must be fast. If it fails, we will mobilize.

All villagers should act, no matter men, women, old or young, as long as they can work." Xia Jian arranged work for Zhao Hong while getting dressed.

Zhao Hong nodded and said, "Then I'll leave first. You can help me lock the door." Zhao Hong said and strode away.

Xia Jian took out his mobile phone, found Ma Chuntao's number, and called her. The phone rang for a while before the call was connected. It felt like Ma Chuntao was still in bed.

As soon as the phone call came through, Xia Jian yelled: "Why are you still in bed? Get up quickly! The weather has changed. The situation is not good. You should inform Li Xiangye immediately and tell her that it was me who told her to lead the whole village.

With the remaining labor left behind, we speed up the inventory of the Xichuan River and the village’s canals.”

"Oops! I was woken up by you while I was having a sweet dream. It's really annoying. I understand, you don't have to worry about this anymore," Ma Chuntao said coquettishly on the phone.

This woman is really, how long has it been since she was still like this? Xia Jian said into the phone: "Hurry up and act quickly. If there is a problem, I will ask you for it."

"I know, I have to put my clothes on! Do you want me to run out naked?" Ma Chuntao lost her composure as she spoke. This married woman can make any kind of joke.

out.

Xia Jian hung up the phone, quickly locked the door for Zhao Hong, and ran back home quickly. In the yard, Xia Zecheng was packing the tools for going up the mountain, while Sun Yuejuan was busy making breakfast.

"Dad! We're not going up the mountain today, so hurry up and prepare the tools to clean up the river. The whole village's job today is to clean up the Xichuan River." As soon as Xia Jian finished speaking, the loudspeaker of the village committee rang.

Xia Jian rode his motorcycle to the Pingyang Town Government without even washing his face. Since it was not yet time to go to work, several young people who got up early were exercising in the yard.

Xia Jian glanced at Wei Xiaoming, who happened to be among them, and shouted to Wei Xiaoming: "Xiao Wei! Inform everyone to have a meeting in the conference room and have breakfast after the meeting."

When Wei Xiaoming saw that Xia Jian was so anxious, he hurriedly ran to inform someone. Xia Jian parked his motorcycle, ran to the dormitory, washed his face, and went directly to the conference room.

Because it was not yet office hours, not all of them came. However, Tong Jie and deputy mayor Li Lin were both here, and Xiong Yongqiang was also here.

"Mayor Xia! Secretary Lu went back to his hometown last night because of family matters. He may be a little late. Do you think we should wait for him or not?" Wei Xiaoming said a little anxiously.

Xia Jian said without thinking: "No need to wait, just tell the doorman and ask those who come to work later to go directly to the conference room. Let's start now."

Tong Jie sat next to Xia Jian with a confused look on her face. The meeting was so sudden that she didn't even come back to her senses. She didn't know what happened.

Xia Jian took a look at the number of people present at the meeting. He counted silently and felt that there were only about ten people missing! And it didn't matter whether these people participated in the meeting or not. Because most of the more than ten people were women, and their

The job is just some clerical staff sitting in the office"

"Okay! Let's have a meeting now. The meeting is very simple and the proceedings are short, but the responsibility is heavy. Everyone has seen the weather today, so I will stop talking and go straight to the topic." Xia Jian clapped his hands.

, interrupted a few young people who were talking, and then started the topic of the meeting.

He continued: "The Xichuan River has been flooded every year in the past two years. But there is no time point in this flood season, so this year we must start to control it in advance. From the upper reaches of the Xichuan River to the villages downstream, today
