It was getting darker. Qiao Liang leaned against the tombstone and drank wine with Zhang Lin, saying that it was drinking. In fact, Qiao Liang was alone drinking and talking to himself. When he was slightly drunk, Qiao Liang even had an illusion that Zhang Lin seemed to exist in some form, silently watching him and caring for him.

Before he knew it, he finished drinking a bottle of wine. Qiao Liang looked at the sky and murmured, "It's dark, Sister Lin, I have to leave. I'll see you next time."

Qiao Liang stood up and looked at the time. It was already past 6 o'clock and it was time for him to go back.

Touching Zhang Lin's tombstone gently, Qiao Liang whispered, "Sister Lin, I'm leaving. If you miss me, you can give me a dream."

After saying this, Qiao Liang took a last look at Zhang Lin's tomb and turned around and left with great reluctance.

When we got home, it was already past seven o'clock. Qiao Liang's parents had not had dinner yet, so they were waiting for Qiao Liang to come back. When they saw Qiao Liang coming home, the two elders didn't ask where Qiao Liang was going. They brought the dishes and the three of them sat down to have dinner.

The next morning, Qiao Liang got up early, said goodbye to his parents, and took a bus back to Songbei.

For some reason, after watching Zhang Lin, Ding Xiaoyun's face appeared in Qiao Liang's mind from time to time. Thinking of the grinding and passionate relationship between the two of them spent the night together, Qiao Liang's heart was inexplicably filled with loss and melancholy.

The intersections in the future will eventually become less and less. Qiao Liang sighed in his heart. Now that he has returned to Jiangzhou, he has the same relationship with Ding Xiaoyuntian, and his relationship will only become less and less until he forgets each other. Perhaps, the two are destined to be passers-by in each other's lives.

Shaking his head, Qiao Liang suppressed some of his thoughts. People have joys and sorrows, and the moon has phases and waxing. In this life, people will always have some regrets and it is impossible for everything to be perfect.

Thinking about his thoughts all the way, when he returned to Songbei, Qiao Liang came straight to the office before nine o'clock in the morning.

Today is Sunday, and the county courtyard is quiet, with not many people, just a few people coming to work overtime.

Qiao Liang actually doesn’t have to come here today and give himself a day off, but Qiao Liang is used to being busy and can’t get free.

When he arrived at the office, Qiao Liang found that Fu Minghai was here too today and was cleaning the office for him. Qiao Liang couldn't help but say, "Little Fu, just let the cleaning do these things, you don't have to worry about it."

"I'm afraid that the cleaning staff will not be able to do well, so it's better to do it yourself." Fu Minghai said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Liang looked at Fu Minghai with a profound meaning. This Fu Minghai is a diligent young man. Regardless of his ability, he is very popular just for this.

"Today, you didn't ask your friends to go out for fun, why did you come to work?" Qiao Liang asked with a smile.

"We have no fun places in Songbei, and it's not like the city where there are big shopping malls to visit. Sometimes I really feel that there is no place to go, so it's better to come to the office to do something." Fu Minghai smiled and scratched his head embarrassedly, "According to my parents' wishes, I'm going out to play less, save more money, and try to buy a house in the county town first. Otherwise, the girl who is on a blind date now wouldn't even bother to watch it when she heard that the man had no house."

"You have only graduated and worked for about a year, right?" Qiao Liang asked with a smile.

"Well, it's just over the year." Fu Minghai nodded.

"You can't hurry to buy a house. Take your time. The house price in Songbei is not expensive, and you can always afford it if you want to buy it." Qiao Liang smiled and thought that if you just started working, you can't afford it without family support. After all, you can't save a lot of money in a year. Although the house price in Songbei is cheap, the down payment is still 100,000 or 200,000 yuan for a young man who has just graduated, he will not be able to save 200,000 yuan if he doesn't work for three or five years.

The two chatted casually for a few family matters. Qiao Liang handled official duties for a while. Seeing that it was still early, he called Fu Minghai, "Little Fu, let's go out for a walk."

"County Magistrate Qiao, are you going out for a private visit?" Fu Minghai asked.

"If you go out and have a look, leaders should go to the grassroots level more often. You can't just read materials and listen to reports in the office. In that way, you will not understand the real people's sentiment or the real people's voices. Sooner or later, you will be separated from the masses." Qiao Liang said.

Fu Minghai nodded and asked again, "Where do you want to see it? Do I want me to contact the leaders of the relevant streets or townships first?"

"No need." Qiao Liang waved his hand, "If you want to see the real people's livelihood and conditions, you have to go and see it yourself. If you contact the street in advance and follow the route they arranged for us, you often won't see the real situation."

Fu Minghai didn't say anything after hearing this.

The two of them took a car out of the county courtyard and walked along the streets of the county town. When they passed by a demolition site on the outskirts of the city, Qiao Liang asked the car to stop. Qiao Liang passed by here twice, and had some impression that this area was a new city area planned by the county town. Qiao Liang had only seen relevant materials before and had not come to conduct on-site investigations.

"County Magistrate Qiao, this area is a new urban area planned by our county. It has only begun to make substantial progress this year. Secretary Miao personally took charge of the leader of the new city construction leading group..." Fu Minghai introduced the situation to Qiao Liang.

Qiao Liang nodded slightly. He, the county magistrate, also served as the first deputy leader of the new city construction leading group. It turned out to be Sheng Peng. Now that Sheng Peng has been transferred, he will take over the position of Sheng Peng, so naturally he will take over the position of the first deputy leader.

On the outside of the construction site, there is a wall with a propaganda planning map for the construction of the new city, which is planned in an orderly manner. The future citizen activity center, library, new administrative service center and business district. There is no doubt that when the plans on this planning map are all realized, this is the urban center of Songbei County in the future. However, with the financial resources of Songbei County, it is probably not possible to achieve all the plans in just a few years.

"The old city is very crowded and there is no unnecessary land development. Only by developing towards the new city can there be great potential in the future." Fu Minghai said proactively when he saw Qiao Liang not speaking.

"The old urban area is subject to insufficient land resources space, so it is right to develop into a new city." Qiao Liang nodded and recognized that the current urban area of ​​Songbei County is too small. As rural population continues to enter the city, the existing urban space will appear crowded. Only by jumping into the urban framework can Songbei County have great development in the future.

Looking into the distance, Qiao Liang saw that some houses not far away in the demolition area were still drying clothes, and it seemed that there were still people living there. Qiao Liang couldn't help but ask, "Have the demolition problems of residents here solved?"

"I don't know much about this. I'll find someone from the relevant department to find out tomorrow and report it to you immediately." Fu Minghai said. He was in the Legal Affairs Office and he had no understanding of these specific matters.

The two of them walked along the construction site for a while, and before they knew it, it was almost noon. Qiao Liang greeted Fu Minghai for lunch together.

There are many restaurants near the construction site, and the two of them found a nearby one. As soon as Fu Minghai finished ordering, Qiao Liang's cell phone rang. Seeing that it was Cai Minghai calling, Qiao Liang picked it up.

"County Magistrate Qiao, where are you now?" Cai Minghai asked.

"I'm in the new urban area of ​​the suburbs..." Qiao Liang guessed that Cai Minghai would look for him must be important, so he said directly, "I'll send you a navigation address, come here directly."

Cai Minghai didn't talk much nonsense when he heard this, and said that he arrived immediately and hung up the phone.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Cai Minghai hurried over. In the single room, Fu Minghai stood up with great eyesight, "County Magistrate Qiao, I'll urge the waiter to serve the food. You and Director Cai will chat first."

Seeing Fu Minghai's performance, Qiao Liang nodded with satisfaction. This kid was very clever.

Then Qiao Liang turned to look at Cai Minghai and said straight to the point, "Director Cai, what's the matter?"

"County Magistrate Qiao, I just heard a news from my colleagues from the Provincial Department." Cai Minghai said anxiously.

"What news?" Qiao Liang asked.

"The provincial department is preparing to transfer me back. The procedures may start tomorrow, Monday."

"What?" Qiao Liang was surprised, "You have just come down to exchange and take office, so you are going to be transferred back?"

After Qiao Liang finished speaking, he immediately realized that this was abnormal. This was also the reason why Cai Minghai came to find him. Thinking of this, Qiao Liang asked, "Director Cai, do you know what the reason?"

"No surprise, it may be related to Huang Hongmei's case." Cai Minghai said.

"Huang Hongmei's case?" Qiao Liang frowned slightly, "What do you mean is that someone doesn't want to see you continue to investigate Huang Hongmei's case, so he wants to transfer you away?"

"There is only this explanation at the moment." Cai Minghai nodded and said, "Now the case has just been found on Wu Changsheng, and the superiors are going to transfer me back. This is a coincidence."

"In this way, Wu Jiang has connected the relationship from above and transferred you away." Qiao Liang thought about it. The possibility is too great. Wu Jiang, as the chairman of Dong Aluminum Group, has this energy. In addition, the case involves his son, and he has the motivation to do so. It can almost be concluded that it was done by the other party. Otherwise, Cai Minghai would not have been transferred back as soon as he was transferred. How could the provincial department's personnel transfer be like this?

"County Magistrate Qiao, I want to continue investigating Huang Hongmei's case." Cai Minghai looked at Qiao Liang with a bright look. The meaning of his words was very clear, and he hoped that Qiao Liang could mobilize his relationship to help him stay.

"Director Cai, don't worry, I asked you to investigate Huang Hongmei's case. How can I sit back and see if I'm going to deal with your transfer. I won't let you transfer it anyway." Qiao Liang said.

"County Magistrate Qiao, I'm afraid this matter has to be done quickly, otherwise things will become more troublesome when I start work on Monday tomorrow." Cai Minghai reminded.

"Well, I know what's going on." Qiao Liang nodded.
