months later.

The government of Qingshui promulgated a regulation that the whole row of century-old ginkgo leaves on Linshui Street should only be picked up but not swept away, which made the bleak autumn atmosphere covered with bright colors that mobilize the nerves.The problematic piece of land in Lu Zhiyao's hands was taken back by the municipal government for reprocessing, but the demolition work in Longwan did not stop because the new owner Yuanhong was involved in a series of official scandals.The planning of Qingshui is not a decision made by Lu Quan alone. The Wuzhou government did not cancel it easily after considering many parties. It is time for Qingshui District, which has been stagnant for more than 20 years, to regain its present. It is legal and compliant, so the compensation that should be compensated is the same as the punishment that should be fined. After the big boss has entered, there are still young bosses anyway, and Yuanhong has to continue to go on.

The rumbling machines drove into Longwan, and the dilapidated buildings were bulldozed and demolished. People could see a trace of vitality in violation of harmony, which proved the truth that negatives make positives.The ginkgo tree in front of Shen Li's house was kept by Lu Zhiyao when he was planning the project, and he only partially repaired the mound around the ginkgo.

In this way, the little skeleton, which had been protected by that ginkgo tree for nearly 20 years, finally came to light during an excavation operation.

18 years ago.

Autumn in Longwan District, Qingshui County is dark and rainy. The old house is covered by the huge ginkgo tree under the thin golden curtain, mottled and gloomy.

Wang Landi's heartrending cries shook the whole old house, and the roof seemed to be on the verge of being blown off.Little Shen Li didn't survive the autumn after being brought back from the illegal organ transplant hospital, and she took her last breath in Shen Yong's arms.The younger sister had been running a fever on the hospital bed because of the wound inflammation. Looking at the dying elder sister, she covered her mouth with her little hand and tears flowed down her face.

After Shen Yong wiped Xiao Shen Li's body, Wang Landi wiped away her tears: "I'll go to the next street to find a funeral service."

Shen Yong grabbed her and said, "Go back."

On the same day, Wang Landi was handed over by Shen Yong to a fellow villager and sent back to her hometown.

Shen Yong held Xiao Shenli's household registration book in his hand, and was about to go to the police station to apply for a death certificate.Halfway through the journey under the drizzle, Shen Yong made a detour to an orphanage in Qingshui District, and went in for a walk in the name of recruiting canteen workers.The orphanage was dilapidated, with more than a dozen children sleeping in one room, the cement floor was covered with mud, and the food in the cafeteria was mixed with vegetables and soup, giving off an indescribable strange smell.

After Shen Yong came out, he shook his head. Although he was poor, at least his salary was still stable. It was no problem to support his younger sister. He thought with disgust in his heart that she couldn't be allowed to come to this orphanage to suffer.

He turned around and went to the police station, hesitated for a while at the window where the death certificate was issued, and then turned to a consultation duty room.

Shen Yongchong asked the policeman on duty in a low voice: "Hello, Comrade Police, I, let me ask, can a child without a birth certificate be given a registered residence?"

"No birth certificate? Is it my own?" the policeman raised his head and asked.

"Uh, no."

"No? Was it adopted?"

Shen Yong thought for a while: "Well, yes, adopted, the parents of the child don't want it anymore."

"Then have you registered for adoption? If you don't do it, you need to investigate. If you don't have a legal adoption, you need to be held accountable."

As soon as Shen Yong heard that he was held accountable, he felt a little nervous: "No, no, the child is an abandoned baby, without parents."

"Abandoned baby? How old is the child?"

"Five years old."

"You said you were an abandoned baby at the age of five? Why didn't you come to deal with it a few years ago? Hey, you just said that the parents don't want it, and then you say that there are no parents. I said how did this child get into your hands!" The police suddenly became vigilant. stand up.

Shen Yong trembled all over: "No, no, I'm just asking people, it's not me or me." He stumbled and ran out.

There was still a sound of questioning all the way behind him, Shen Yong spread his legs and ran desperately until he felt that he was out of the sight of the police, and the household registration book was still tightly clutched in his hand.

The origin of this child is a stain on Shen Yong's life, but he can't let her live in such an obscure and unidentified way, asking for an identity for a child of unknown origin, this is nothing to those rich and powerful families It's too difficult for a low-level person like me who has no connections.

Shen Yong sat on the side of the road and wiped his sweat—wealthy and powerful... By the way, it would be fine to just return my sister to the Cao family, she is Cao Wanhong's biological daughter after all.

After making up his mind, Shen Yong took his sleeping younger sister to Cao Wanhong's house that afternoon.Back then, when he put the exchanged orphan at the gate of Cao's house, he also hid behind this big tree and watched secretly.

After the gate of Cao's villa was opened, a little girl ran out. After walking a few steps, she found a child leaning against the door. She knelt down and patted her: "Who are you?"

The younger sister rubbed her eyes, looked at the strange girl, took a few steps back in a panic and fell to the ground: "Where is this?"

The girl raised her head arrogantly towards her house: "This is my house, what are you doing at my door? Hurry up, go back to your own house."

The younger sister covered her wound, stumbled to her feet, rubbed her tears and ran out.

Shen Yong: "..."

He strode after her and hugged his sister.

The younger sister burst into tears when she saw Shen Yong: "Father! Why am I here? Don't you want me? You don't want me, I will be good, I will be good! I'm not going anywhere, you take me I go home!"

Shen Yong picked up the child and walked home, biting his teeth so that his lips were bleeding.He will always remember the wind and rain that day, he held his sister in his arms, she was so soft and would break if touched, only then did Shen Yong realize that he had no way out.

Late at night, the house was surprisingly quiet. After my sister was carried home, she fell asleep crying.Shen Yong was sitting on the threshold outside the house smoking a cigarette. On the door of the bedroom, a white cloth covered little Shen Li who had just passed away less than two days ago.

Shen Yong's bloodshot eyes were lifeless, and the autumn ginkgo fell to his eyes one by one in golden swirls.In an instant, he threw away the cigarette butt, closed his eyes, rushed into the bedroom, carried little Shenli's cold body out, walked to the big ginkgo tree, and dug a hole more than two meters deep overnight with a farm shovel, and put little Shenli in his arms. Glass was buried.

That night's light water and autumn rain were cold, but Shen Yong couldn't feel it. The water stains on his face could no longer distinguish whether it was tears, sweat or rain.

The girl named Shen Li did not have a death certificate stamped on her household registration, and there was no tombstone erected under the ginkgo tree, not even a stone pier.Shen Yong made a monument with tears and mud, but a rain is fleeting.

The next day, my sister turned her head to look at the empty bedroom without asking any further questions.Halfway through breakfast, Shen Yong said, "Let's join a class next month and go to kindergarten."

The younger sister half understood the word "kindergarten" and looked at Shen Yong without speaking.

Shen Yong poked a piece of rose bean curd with his chopsticks and gently stuffed it into his sister's mouth, saying, "From now on, you will be called Shen Li."

The piece of rose tofu was very delicious, but Chen Li tasted the sweetest and sweetest taste in his life.

She didn't tell Shen Yong that when Shen Yong cried to the point of collapse in front of the ginkgo tree that night, she stood on the threshold in front of the door. She knew that from now on, he would have a real father.

Many years later, Shen Li found the two baby bracelets in Shen Yong's belongings - in the pocket of the well-hidden cotton coat.Even after guessing everything, she still has all her love and gratitude to Shen Yong.To her, the Cao family was nothing more than a well-to-do family of other people's family, or a rich family elsewhere.

Shen Li thought, love is the same, if you are poorer or richer, it is all love.

Lu Zhiyao and her really have a tacit understanding, not only in the matter of loving for a long time.

It's the white season of the year again.

The case of Lu Quan and Yuan Hong lasted a long time, involved a lot, and had a great impact. The supervisory committee, the economic investigation, and the procuratorate are also indispensable.At the same time, because of Li Xiao's death, Cao Lin's lawyer found a breakthrough and submitted some new evidence that Li Xiao had instigated Cao Lin to commit a crime. The case dragged on for several months. Will be absent, everyone is just quietly waiting for its arrival.

Destined to be a restless winter.Lu Quan fell from the horse, and the officialdom in the entire J province was panicked from summer to winter, while the common people were looking forward to the arrival of the first snow in the cold wind, so as to cleanse their souls for this scandal that caused a sensation in J province.

The Economic Investigation Detachment of the Municipal Bureau, smoking a cigarette for a long time, was chatting with colleagues outside the meeting room while waiting.

In addition to the land in Qingshui and the "stolen map" case carried over by Cao Wanhong, Yuanhong has also been involved in insider trading, money laundering and small amounts of tax evasion for more than ten years, some of which were committed during Lu Yuanzhen's era. And checked it out.

After talking about the details of the case and the speculation on the sentencing all afternoon, the handsome lawyer checked the time, got up and left with a smile.

Lu Zhiyao took out Lu Yuanzhen's pipe from his pocket and handed it over. Lu Yuanzhen smiled softly, took it over and wiped it with his sleeve, and lit a match that Lu Zhiyao struck.

"I'm not worried about anything, but I'm afraid that if you can't smoke a pipe, you will get sick." Lu Zhiyao also lit a cigarette himself.

Lu Yuanzhen said with a smile mixed in his thick throat: "Stinky boy."

The two were silent for a while.

Lu Yuanzhen: "Yuanhong's matter has troubled you. Don't worry about me too much. I can still bear the wind and rain. I'm not that old yet."

Lu Zhiyao: "I know, didn't I just say it, don't worry! After the sentence is passed, I will find a way to apply for medical parole with Lawyer Gu."

Lu Yuanzhen squinted at him: "I will go to the prison that I should go to, don't worry - have the shareholders made trouble?"

Lu Zhiyao dusted off the cigarette ash: "Let's make trouble. In Cao Wanhong's will, you and Cao Lin share half of his shares. You also know Cao Lin's current situation. You are still the largest shareholder. They have to have opinions on fines and compensation. , I have no objection if I want to leave Yuanhong, I want as much Yuanhong shares in their hands, don't worry about the money, I will find a way."

What Lu Yuanzhen didn't know was that Yuanhong's plate was so big and the matter was so big that the solution to the matter in a few months was nothing more than money.Lu Zhiyao sold Mobius without telling Lu Yuanzhen, dismantled the plane and sold parts, paid the fine, repaid the loan, kept the existing project, and settled the disputes of several shareholders. Yuanhong is in his hands. It was saved, even if only a "half corpse" was left, but Yuanhong has been clean since then.Lu Yuanzhen's wish was fulfilled in this way.

Lu Yuanzhen sighed softly: "They are all old people in the company. Most of them don't know what's going on here, and you can't blame them for being angry. You have to treat them kindly."

Lu Zhiyao pinched the cigarette butt: "Hey, I'm not soft on your son, just soft-hearted, don't worry."

After a while, Lu Yuanzhen looked at Lu Zhiyao firmly and said, "There is one more thing, you can help me with it."

……

After the talk, Lu Zhiyao got up and was about to leave when he suddenly turned around and asked, "Hey, Dad, well, Qian Xiaoding asked me to ask you for a favor. He asked for marriage 108 times, but Zhile still didn't agree." , see if you can point out a marriage."

"Pfft..." Lu Yuanzhen coughed out a mouthful of old phlegm and almost didn't choke on it: "This Qian Xiaoding, I really am, leading wolves into the house! It's not nice to meet people! He has ulterior motives! Cough cough... If he dares to treat Zhile badly, I will escape from prison Also break his dog legs."

Lu Zhiyao thought to himself, how can the old man know so many idioms, he is so fucking talented, he didn't inherit them well at all!

After being angry for a long time, Lu Yuanzhen called to him: "Zhiyao, you can make up your mind for me on this matter. From now on, you will be the master of Yuanhong and the Lu family, take good care of Zhile."

Two weeks later, as soon as Lu Zhiyao stepped into the house with a stack of documents, he saw a long time sitting in the yard tinkling about infrastructure construction. Your sister Cao was resting on the steps with her hind legs and her front legs on the ground. Stretching, doing dog pose yoga while being the head supervisor.

After lying in the hospital for more than a month, the gunshot wound did not heal and he started work. The previous case was not over yet, and he encountered a vicious robbery two months ago, and both failed again.Lu Zhiyao resigned this time, and asked him to take all the leave he had accumulated for ten years, such as work-related injury leave, public holidays, birth control leave, and nursing leave, otherwise he would be on the table every day.With Chen Jian's special approval, Team Xu has been on holiday from the National Day to near the end of the year, preparing to return to work after the New Year's Day.

In the past two months, he has not been idle, and promised Lu Zhiyao that the glass room has been built. It has been a standard surprise for a long time that there is no straight man's life, and the girl's heart is overflowing, which is really scary.He made a glass room like a crystal palace, with succulents, air pineapple, LED string lights, and luminous fish pond. He almost moved the whole tank of fish, shrimp and crab from the seafood restaurant across the street. Added to the fun.

Although it is a bit exaggerated, the glass room is still quite beautiful. Xu Jiu personally designed the overall shape of the hexagon and the double-layer vacuum glass insulation. The idea of ​​ventilation and heating failed in the end. It can already be as warm as spring.When Lu Zhiyao came back, he was building a wooden window sill under the small window in the glass room. Lu Zhiyao asked him what it was for, and he said mysteriously that he would know when the time came.

Lu Zhiyao pulled him up and sat down on the sofa in the room, and handed him the stack of documents.

"What?" For a long time, he rubbed his dirty hands on his coat without hesitation, and took the document, "Equity transfer agreement?"

"Yes, what my dad meant. I know that Uncle Zhou is gone, and there is no point in doing anything, but my dad said that these should belong to you, it is more than 20 years late, don't refuse." Lu Zhiyao finished Hand him the pen.

For a long time, he looked at the agreement in a daze. He didn't really understand most of the terms. The few documents and materials brought out from Zhou's house were rubbed over and over again, guessing the meaning of each character and number, but Xu Dongmei didn't allow him to go this way, and burned all the materials on fire.

Looking at this agreement for a long time, it seemed as if a broken kite floated back through time. He remembered Zhou Hengyuan's open-minded laughter and subtle expressions on his face in his memory. His life was ended at the most passionate and strenuous age. What came to an abrupt end was not only life, but also the ideal that Yuanhong had devoted all his efforts to.Lu Yuanzhen understood him, but it was too late when he knew the truth.

This is a continuation agreement, which will connect Zhou Hengyuan's first half of his life and the long second half of his life.

For a long time, I thought to myself, this day has finally come, this is enough, the rest is not important anymore.

His eyes were red, he picked up a pen, signed his name on the last page, and returned it to Lu Zhiyao.

Lu Zhiyao pursed his lips and smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and took a look at the agreement.

However, the words "Lu Zhiyao" were impressively written on the signature of the agreement!

"Hey, you!"

Standing up for a long time, he picked up a screwdriver and went out to continue working: "Public officials are not allowed to run businesses, do you understand! Besides, my shares belong to you, I am a man who has to hand in his salary card."

"What can you do with that little salary!" Lu Zhiyao chased him out and yelled at him.

"Food, shopping, and money for my mother's nursing home are all deducted from my salary card, and I have to prevent you from going bankrupt one day."

"Hey! You have no confidence in me!"

Your sister Cao wagged her tail and swaggered into the house, picked up the agreement and gnawed it, it was delicious, this guy thought happily, how could there be paper in this world, only paper crumbs!Confetti!

At the end of December, Wuzhou finally had its first snowfall on the last day of the year.

The walls of the glass room in the heavy snow are covered with water mist, and there are dots of small LED lights hanging on the outer wall, and a tank of red goldfish is scurrying among the green aquatic plants against the glass wall.

On the tatami by the window, Lu Zhiyao's fine and unbearable gasps and groans came from the dark green lambswool blanket that was tightly covered up and down. The blanket was rolled into a ball, and a seam was opened to reveal half of the knee .The panting sound became more and more dense and urgent. I don't know how long it took before the blanket finally stopped moving after two low and intense gasps chasing each other. Lu Zhiyao struggled to get his head out of the warm nest. His face was flushed from the steam, and the glass roof could not accumulate snow because of the high temperature.Lu Zhiyao gasped for breath through the hazy water vapor on the roof, watching the white sky falling down, and merged with the scene in his eyes, he sat on the couch and pushed the glass window open.

Thick snow had already accumulated on the window sill, and he stuck his head out, burying his face sideways in the snow.

At that moment, the warm blood was still rushing around, the hot cheeks were buried in the white snow, and the whole body was agitated by the slight trembling after the orgasm and the stimulation of the huge temperature difference, so refreshing that it was hard to hold on.

After sitting up for a long time, he hugged Lu Zhiyao from behind with a blanket wrapped around him, wrapping him together in warmth, their fingers intertwined, and the old silver ring rubbed and collided between them.Lu Zhiyao's ring was too big when he was wearing it. A few days ago, Xu Dongmei wrapped the red silk thread that had been cut for a long time around the ring. After putting it on, Lu Zhiyao turned the red thread to the palm of his hand and spread it out Move the fingers on the back of the hand, and the circumference of the fingers is just right.

Whispered for a long time: "This snow is just like you, white and soft."

"Nonsense, I have nothing soft except my heart."

"Yes, yes, you are the toughest, with the toughest mouth."

After a long time, he suddenly let go of him: "Eh? When will this year's Wuzhou Prince List banquet start?"

Lu Zhiyao's eyes widened: "It seems to be last night!"

Lu Zhiyao supported his forehead, let him go, he was too far away from those things.

For a long time, he stretched out his hand from the blanket to touch the phone: "Let me find out who is number one this year."

Lu Zhiyao tilted his head on his shoulder, and smiled contemptuously: "There is nothing to investigate, who else but me!"

Staring at the phone for a long time, the eyes were a bit complicated: "Uh, do you want to know the answer?"

"What! Isn't it?" Lu Zhiyao grabbed the phone.

Lu Zhiyao is still No. 1 on this year's Wuzhou Young Master List, but there is one more... Tied for the first place!

Suppressing a smile for a long time: "What is the origin of this Chi?"

Lu Zhiyao threw the phone aside, gritted his teeth and said, "A foreigner who came to invest in Wuzhou this year is even listed as a candidate, shady!"

"Pfft..." Jiu Jiu broke his face from behind, kissed him tightly and said vaguely, "Why do you still care about this? You just need to take care that you will always be number one with me."

Lu Zhiyao broke away from him: "Brother, do you have any wishes for the New Year?"

"Well... I don't want to be rich, but I want Lu Zhiyao to be heartless forever."

"Tsk, you followed me. 'Don't seek great wealth' is useless in this life. I can work hard on the latter one."

In front of the window sill, there was heavy snow outside, and in the babbling snowy night, the sound of the earth seemed to be sucked away, and it was extremely quiet, only soft words remained by his side.He hugged him for a long time and swayed softly, humming a soft song, the New Year's bell came from the direction of Chongxi Mountain, and drifted towards Cifang Mountain. Looking down from a high position, the bright little hexagons and crystal snowflakes gradually merge into one, becoming the most common of countless warm lights on the earth.

"Why is this glass room hexagonal?"

"Like snowflakes, snowflakes in your eyes."

A year later, Yuanhong's first real estate project in Qingshui District opened. Lu Zhiyao bought a loft under the old ginkgo tree in the community. The caller is Lu Zhile.

The name of that real estate is Moli Bieyuan.
