Qiu Yingxue was still writing prose for this issue. The title was "The Song of the Winter Snow Oriole." The faint words seemed to be telling a long song, using the scenery to express the true feelings in one's heart, bringing people into a beautiful mood.
"The branches suddenly trembled, waking me up from my dream. The waves had already receded, the weary sun had already set, and the light yellow moon was gradually rising. The pale yellow light enveloped the locust tree next to the house, the uneven leaves swaying. More snow-white petals fell on my lonely back, drifting into the sea. My sadness, like these white petals, floated into the lonely night … "
She ended the whole article with sadness and loneliness. Most of her articles seemed to be written in this kind of sad lines. Lu Yiwei couldn't guess her mood when writing this article, but he was sure that she wasn't happy.
Since she came, Lu Yiwei hadn't really talked to her. His identity was sensitive. Most of the time in the office, they talked about work. He would come back from work at noon or at night. It wasn't appropriate to go to her room or call her to his room at this time. If someone with ulterior motives saw them, rumors would instantly fly. He had a principle — he couldn't have any problems with women.
Besides, the two of them couldn't seem to talk after seeing each other. He simply said that he didn't have the surging passion of the past. Instead, he was more used to listening to her voice between the lines and reading her mind. Seeing the words, her silhouette appeared in front of him. Her charming smile, melancholy eyes, elegant long hair, and sexy figure. It could be said that his understanding of her was still the same as before. Now, she was still beautiful, but she had lost the innocence and gentleness of the past. She had become mature and charming.
The woman who looked weak on the outside had a stubborn personality in her bones, giving people a feeling that she didn't belong to the world. He still remembered that she had asked him to go to the capital to find her ex-boyfriend, an art lover from Beijing. Who knew that he would drink to death. Even so, she still held an art exhibition for him. Because she was late, she almost couldn't graduate. He remembered that she said that she planned to quit her job and continue pursuing her dream of art along the path of her boyfriend.
However, she didn't go. He didn't know what she had experienced all these years, but she was still mingling in the officialdom. Lu Yiwei could not pry into her true feelings, but her decision to come to Long 'an was indeed unfathomable. If what Jiang Zhentao said was true, that she was the daughter-in-law of the Municipal Party Committee's Organization Minister, it was absolutely impossible to send her to a remote mountainous area to gain experience. He had no way of knowing what had happened in between, but he had a vague feeling that it was her intention to come down this time.
Lu Yiwei guessed that her marriage was not a happy one. She was even tired of it, so she chose to escape. Moreover, her words were also releasing some kind of signal. If she was living a happy life, there would never be words like sadness and loneliness. Her life was full of negative energy.
After reading it two or three times, Lu Yiwei was even more convinced of his guess. Suddenly, he had the urge to start writing. He got up and went to the study room, turned on the computer, and started to meditate in front of the screen. After a while, an essay was formed. Reading through it, it seemed to be an answer to the confusion raised in her article, and also hoped to communicate with each other through this method.
Lu Yiwei had written a lot of works, which were treasured in his computer and notebook. He had never thought of publishing them. Occasionally, he would take them out and read them in his spare time to feel gratified. But this time, he planned to try to submit a manuscript. He found the submission email on the title page of the magazine. When he was about to send it, he felt that he could not use a pen name. After thinking for a long time, he chose the online name "He Ke" and sent it out.
When he sent it out, he seemed to wake up a little. He wanted to withdraw it but could not. With infinite regret, he went back to his bedroom to sleep.
It had been a long time since he had a good night's sleep. This sleep was especially comfortable. When he opened his eyes, it was already white outside the window. This year's snow was indeed a bit excessive. It was over before they played, and when would it end? According to the weather forecast, the snow line had pressed down to the south of the Yangtze River. Could it be that it was snowing all over the country?
They got up, washed up, dressed up, and went downstairs into the dining room. The group immediately began to work. Ma Xiaochen, the Director of the General Affairs Bureau, personally supervised every meal every day. This was a good opportunity for him to perform. Lu Yiwei saw this but did not say anything.
Just as he sat down, Qiu Yingxue lifted the curtain and came in. When she saw him, she smiled and took the initiative to go to another empty table. It was also out of respect, and there was a difference between men and women.
Lu Yiwei did not take the initiative to ask to sit with them. When the food was served, he buried his head in his food. Today was a rare day. Jiang Zhentao did not come to report on his work. He did not feel anything when he saw him every day, but he was not used to not seeing him for a day. He guessed that Jiang Zhentao did not know that he was back.
"Secretary Lu, is the food to your liking?" Ma Xiaochen asked nervously.
Lu Yiwei had never been particular about food. When he was a secretary, he would eat whatever he could get his hands on. He just needed to fill his stomach and never cared about the quality. Because of this, he suffered from stomach problems. Under Fan Chunfang's repeated urging, he went to the hospital for a checkup. There was no good way to treat a chronic stomach ulcer. He could only slowly nurse it back to health.
Lu Yiwei nodded and said, "It's alright."
"Oh, I made a menu from Monday to Sunday. Do you want to take a look?"
"No need. I can't eat hard food. My stomach is not good. Just be careful."
"Okay, okay. I will be careful."
After lunch, Lu Yiwei walked to the County party committee building. When he entered, it was empty. He then remembered that it was the weekend. He could have stayed in River East to accompany his family for the weekend, but he was still worried. After all, he had just arrived. If anything happened, he would not be able to escape responsibility. Moreover, the whole province was changing guards. The situation was not clear. He could not choose to leave now.
They took the lift to the 6th floor. Xu Changyuan was the first to stand beside him. Lu Yiwei said as he walked. "Keep an eye on the Agriculture Committee and the Transportation Bureau. You must implement it as soon as possible."
"Okay. Just now, Director Zhao of the Agriculture Committee called me. He wants to meet you. "
"Okay. Ask him to come."
After entering the office, Lu Yiwei looked at the weather outside and said, "Inform the Finance Bureau, Tourism Bureau, Urban Construction Bureau, and Public Security Bureau. I will be going down to do some research. Also, inform the Deputy Mayor in charge to wait for me at the unit in charge. I will report on the work of the year and the next step. "
"Okay. I will inform them immediately."
Xu Changyuan was about to leave when Lu Yiwei stopped him. "Why isn't Director Jiang here?"
"Uh … I don't know. Should I call and ask?"
"Okay. If there is something, you don't have to come. Ask Secretary Qiu and I to do some research."
"Do we need to call the media?"
"Call them too."
