"Thank you." Duan Xiaoou smiled and gave her an understanding look.

"Oh!" Li Yuanlong sighed, "Fortunately, you reminded me in time. I thought the Blue Bridge was gradually getting better, and I was still immersed in satisfied joy."

"Secretary Li, it's not your fault. Say something you shouldn't say. As long as you reach this position, you are not an ordinary person, even if you don't think so."

"The officials under your command are afraid of you because they are afraid of the power in your command, and you have the powerful killing stick that can dominate their fate."

The more I talked with Duan Xiaoou, the more speculative I became, and the relationship became more casual from the previous strangeness.

Seeing that it was getting late and Li Yuanlang was about to end, Duan Xiaoou asked, "Secretary Li, I have a ruthless request. I wonder if you dare to accept it?"

"Ms. Duan, what are you referring to? Let's hear it."

"It's 8:35 p.m. It's the most active time for Lanqiao nightlife. If you don't have a break, I want to invite you to dinner. But I declare in advance that it is not a high-end place, but a close to the world's fireworks and a way that the general public likes to hear."

When Duan Xiaoou said this, he regained Li Yuanlang's appetite and asked, "Please don't play the puzzle anymore. What kind of place is it?"

"The street food stalls are skewers." Duan Xiaoou explained: "Late spring and early summer are the best time for skewers in the north. I know that there are many such stalls in the area of ​​Chunjiang Road, but you have a special identity and are worried about your safety..."

Li Yuanlang waved his hand and shook his head and said, "Ms. Duan, if I had thought this way, I wouldn't have visited privately in private."

"But, can you guarantee that if I go, I can see the truth?"

"I have a way." Duan Xiaoou was very sure.

Duan Xiaoou's method was to give Li Yuanlang some careful makeup.

The combed hair was messed up and a very thin jacket was put on the outside.

For the sake of reality, I made the pleats in front of Li Yuanlong, and took a pair of very old travel shoes and asked Li Yuanlong to change them.

Sitting in Duan Xiaoou's Volkswagen Magotan car, Li Yuanlang saw a bag of clothes, pants and shoes in the back seat, and couldn't help but joke, "You are prepared and have already planned it."

"Secretary Li, don't get me wrong." Duan Xiaoou pointed to the bag of things and said, "This is what I mobilized my colleagues at the station to collect the clothes and pants that I didn't wear at home and prepare to donate them to the poor mountainous areas."

I see.

Li Yuanlang changed into this outfit and looked at the mirror. Not to mention, it was very different from his previous appearance.

The most important point is that it is night now, and the sight is not good, so it is easy to catch fish in troubled waters.

Before driving, Duan Xiaoou looked up at Li Zihui who had been standing outside and asked, "How should your secretary arrange it?"

"Let him follow." Li Yuanlang was helpless. If he disappeared from Li Zihui's sight, if an accident happened, Li Zihui could not bear it.

The previous time, Long Chengxin had an idea about Li Zihui, but was eventually convinced by Li Yuanlang.

Li Zihui did not take the same car with Li Yuanlang Duan Xiaoou, so he followed him by taxi.

The car drove to near Chunjiang Road, and Duan Xiaoou parked the car.

As soon as Li Yuanlang got off the car, he immediately smelled the special fragrance of the barbecue skewers floating in the air.

This is to stimulate local consumption. The Xiacheng District Government stipulates that barbecue stalls can be specially designated here from 7 pm to 1 AM the next day.

And temporarily control traffic around the area, and motor vehicles are not allowed to pass during this period of time.

On both sides of Chunjiang Road are barbecue restaurants.

There is a stall at the door, baked on site outside, as well as beer and cold side dishes.

Between the tables, parasols stood.

Li Yuanlang looked around and saw that it was crowded at this time, with his voice and hawking mixed together, which was very lively.

This is the real human spirit.

The most important thing is that there is a lack of support. Every diner focuses on the delicious food and wine on his table, and has no time to take into account the appearance of Li Yuanlang and Duan Xiaoou.

Standing here, I didn't find any empty space for a while.

However, Li Zihui's eyes were sharp-eyed. He saw a table of customers who had just left to check out and took a seat in advance, which finally gave Li Yuanlang a place to sit.

Li Zihui, who occupied the position, walked aside and did not get involved in Li Yuanlang and Duan Xiaoou.

"You can also find a seat to sit down." Li Yuanlang whispered.

"Just be happy, I'm fine."

Immediately, Li Zihui walked away quickly. As for where he went, Li Yuanlang didn't worry about it.

Anyway, I will not leave Li Zihui's sight.

Their seats are close to the inside. Sitting here allows you to get a glimpse of the full picture of this barbecue stall.

A woman in her fifties came over and asked them to order food with paper and pen in hand.

"Ms. First, please come some, I have no ban on food." Li Yuanlang said then.

"I'm not polite."

Duan Xiaoou immediately ordered a few things and asked the woman to bring a dozen beer.

"You still have to drive, don't drink." Li Yuanlong reminded.

"You can be called a designated driver when drinking, and there are substitutes."

When Li Yuanlang heard Duan Xiaoou say this, he understood that she was referring to Li Zihui.

"Okay, drinking and eating skewers is a combination, don't break it up."

While waiting for the free time, Li Yuanlang asked, "Ms. Duan, you still have to accompany me to taste the food so late. It won't affect your lover's objection to you, right?"

"No." Duan Xiaoou further explained, "I haven't gotten married and have no boyfriend, so where did I get my lover?"

Li Yuanlang was stunned, "A talent as outstanding as you, or a single person?"

"What's the curiosity about this?" Duan Xiaoou said sadly: "After I graduated from college, I studied for graduate school again and devoted all my best time to my studies."

"The competition in our industry is quite fierce. After going to work, I focus on my work, so I naturally don't have time to talk about love."

"Now my work has stabilized and I have tried blind dates, but..." Duan Xiaoou smiled helplessly and shook his head, "How can I say that, I look down on me too good at it, and I don't want to settle for it. I can't hurry up, let it go."

To change the topic, Duan Xiaoou in turn asked Li Yuanlang about his family life.

When it comes to this matter, it is a mess.

Li Yuanlang couldn't say anything in detail, but just told Duan Xiaoou that his wife and children were living in other places, and he could only go back to reunite when it was convenient for holidays.

"I understand. If you adjust it like you, it will be unstable, but your family will be unstable."

As they were talking, things were placed on the table one after another.

Li Yuanlang first took a skewer and handed it to Duan Xiaoou.

"Thank you." Duan Xiaoou was not polite, and bit a piece of meat and ate it generously, and praised it. "It tastes really good, please try it."

Not to mention, this kind of meat skewers that combine meat aroma and charcoal fire have a special taste.

The two of them drank beer, skewers and side dishes, and Li Yuanlang talked about Duan Xiaoou's sharp hosting style.

"Maybe it has something to do with my life experience."

Duan Xiaoou is an orphan and has lived with her grandmother since childhood.

I originally had a few acres of thin fields at home, and I could barely make a living by plowing in spring and harvesting in autumn.

But as my grandmother got older and was unable to do anything, and Duan Xiaoou's school expenses increased, the family was unable to make ends meet, and life became very difficult.

Taking into account the current situation, the village committee applied for the minimum living allowance in accordance with the procedures.

However, after sending people around in the village, the following text was gone.

Later I heard that if you want to get a minimum living allowance, you have to pay a hard work fee to the township civil affairs assistant.

Duan Xiaoou's family is already poor, and the only one who exchanges money is the pig.

Grandma couldn't bear to bear it. Duan Xiaoou was in her third year of high school at this time, thinking about waiting for her to get into college to make up for the tuition fee.

Therefore, letting the civil affairs assistant remind him openly and secretly, grandma just refused to pay the money in vain.

If you don’t have money, you can’t do anything, so naturally, the minimum living allowance households will not fall on their homes.

I saw that some families live in large tiled houses, eat well and get a minimum living allowance every month.

On the other hand, Duan Xiaoou's family was almost out of reach, and even her living expenses for high school could not be guaranteed. Grandma sighed and her hair turned white overnight.

Suddenly one day, grandma told Duan Xiaoou that she was leaving home for a few days and asked Duan Xiaoou to take good care of herself.

As for what she did, she didn't say.

But less than ten days later, Duan Xiaoou received a sum of money from her grandmother, which was not much, but it was enough for her half a month of living expenses.

Due to preparing for the college entrance examination during that period, Duan Xiaoou went all out to make the final sprint.

Until the college entrance examination was over, she went to see her grandmother according to the address where she sent the money.

I was not familiar with the place and had no accurate goal. I wandered around in other places for two days without any hands. I found nothing.

Afterwards, grandma gave her money one after another, and more and more.

It just so happened that Duan Xiaoou was admitted to university, and his tuition and living expenses were enough.

But she never understood why her grandmother, who was in her sixties, had so much money to send to her.
