rebirth of cataclysm

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the schools started to reopen one after another.

Hu Mingchen used the two days before school started to go to the city again and paid off all the money he owed Chen Xuesheng. In addition, since it was the weekend, Hu Mingchen also made a special trip to Song Qiaoshan's house.

It's not far from Liangcheng City to Gaoshan County, more than 30 kilometers away, and the road conditions are far from comparable to the road from Duge Township to the city. The entire journey is on cement roads and can be reached in a few hours by minibus.

Before going, Hu Mingchen contacted Song Qiaoshan. If he was not sure whether Song Qiaoshan was willing to go, Hu Mingchen would not be rash.

What's more, Hu Mingchen didn't know where Song Qiaoshan's family lived. When he arrived in Gaoshan County, Song Qiaoshan had to pick him up.

Coming out of the simple bus station in Gaoshan County, Hu Mingchen saw Song Qiaoshan wearing a black woolen coat at the entrance of the station.

"Master, I'm sorry, I caused you trouble during the Chinese New Year, and I haven't given you New Year greetings yet." As soon as they met, Hu Mingchen put on an apology gesture.

Song Qiaoshan's expression was originally indifferent, but after hearing Hu Mingchen's words and looking at him twice, Song Qiaoshan laughed softly: "What's wrong with you, you little naughty boy? Are you here to make up for it today?"

Hu Mingchen looked at the two bags of gifts he was carrying in his left and right hands, nodded, a little embarrassed to reply.

"You bastard, let's go. It's so cold to go out and wear more clothes." Song Qiaoshan pulled Hu Mingchen's head affectionately and scolded him with concern.

The weather was fine during the Chinese New Year, and you could see the sun more than half of the time. However, it was clear that spring was about to begin in the past two days, but it had been raining continuously for a few days, and the temperature suddenly became very cold. Otherwise, Song Qiaoshan's body would be too cold.

I won't be wearing woolen clothes.

Hu Mingchen didn't have any winter clothing. This time when he went out, he only wore a T-shirt, a shirt and a jacket. Although he wore three pieces of clothing, he still looked relatively thin.

"It's okay, I can handle it, I'm used to it." Hu Mingchen said with a faint smile.

Didn't Hu Mingchen feel cold at all? Impossible, his hands looked red from the cold. But as he said, he was used to it, and he would not have come to the city this season before.

Growing up in the winter, Hu Mingchen, his three siblings, could not have warm winter clothes and shoes like the children in the city. They wore a pair of Jiefang shoes in spring, summer, autumn and winter.

The terrain of Duge Township is several hundred meters lower than that of Liangcheng City and Gaoshan County. It is also by the river in a mountain depression, and the temperature is much warmer than that of the city and county. Therefore, what Hu Mingchen wears is not too big in Duge Township.

The problem is, when we get to the city, it’s still a little bit shabby.

Song Qiaoshan took a relatively heavy bag from Hu Mingchen, walked to the roadside and stopped a Xiali taxi.

Seven or eight minutes later, the taxi stopped at the entrance of a community, opened the door and got out. Hu Mingchen saw a plaque erected at the door of the community - County Government Community.

"Is it strange that I work in Duge Township and live in this community, right?" Song Qiaoshan asked when he saw Hu Mingchen looking at the plaque after paying the fare.

"I don't think it's strange. Someone in the master's family must work in the county government." Hu Mingchen quickly turned around and replied.

Hu Mingchen was actually a little confused, at least in the beginning he was not as casual as he said.

Even if Song Qiaoshan is the deputy mayor of Duge Township, logically speaking, he cannot live in this community. Otherwise, there are too many township mayors in Gaoshan County, and this community cannot accommodate them.

"Let's go, the house is assigned to your wife, and she works at the county committee." After saying a few words, Song Qiaoshan said hello to the man watching the door, and took the lead to go inside.

Hu Mingchen quickly jumped up and followed.

Song Qiaoshan explained it in one sentence, but Hu Mingchen always felt that it was not that simple.

Following Song Qiaoshan, they entered a unit in Building 2 and went up to the third floor. Song Qiaoshan took out the key and opened the door, and the two entered Song Qiaoshan's home.

After entering the house, I found that there was no one there. Although the room was clean and tidy, it seemed a little deserted.

"Master, isn't Master at home?" Hu Mingchen gently placed the gift next to the sofa and asked.

"She went to the city for a meeting. There is water on the coffee table. If you want to drink it, just pour it yourself." Song Qiaoshan squatted down and turned on an electric heater that looked old to Hu Mingchen.

This kind of sheet-shaped electric heater should cost four to five hundred yuan in department stores now. It is a popular item at the moment, especially for people who want to stop burning stoves at home. However, compared with the electric heaters more than ten years later, no matter the function or the

The styles are a bit earthy.

When Song Qiaoshan turned on the electric heater, Hu Mingchen noticed a photo frame placed on the coffee table. In the photo frame was a family of three, one of whom was Song Qiaoshan.

In the photo, Song Qiaoshan is wearing a military uniform, standing side by side is a good-looking woman with short hair, and in front of them is a cute little girl.

Without much guessing, Hu Mingchen should know that it was a photo of Song Qiaoshan's wife and children with him.

Family planning at this time was relatively strict, especially for cadre families, who almost all followed the one-child policy. Therefore, it was a common and normal phenomenon at this time for Song Qiaoshan to have only one child.

"Master, what about your child? School hasn't started yet, why haven't you seen her at home?" Hu Mingchen asked curiously.

"Song Qian has returned to the provincial capital. She is not with me and her mother in Gaoshan County. During school, she was always in the provincial capital with her grandparents." Song Qiaoshan sat down next to Hu Mingchen and said.

It seems that Song Qiaoshan's family is a bit special. Otherwise, in ordinary families, children have to live with their parents. Even if they don't, they usually live with their grandparents. It is rare to live with their grandparents.

"Actually, that's true. How can the education level in the county be compared with the provincial capital? That is the essence of the province. The environment and teachers are unmatched by Gaoshan County." Hu Mingchen said.

Hu Mingchen didn't dare to have other ideas, so he could only speculate like this.

"If a person is willing to learn, he can make progress there. On the contrary, no matter how good the conditions are, it is very likely to have the opposite result. The flowers in the greenhouse look bright, but they cannot withstand the wind and rain. Your boy is in Du

Doesn't it look good to study in a place like Gexiang?" Song Qiaoshan said as he peeled an apple and handed it to Hu Mingchen.

From Song Qiaoshan's voice, Hu Mingchen heard that he didn't seem to be interested in leaving his child Song Qian in the provincial capital to receive a so-called good education. But since he didn't catch a cold, why didn't he bring his child to Gaoshan County? The two of them

One of them works as the deputy township head, and the other works in the county committee. No matter what they do, they will never be able to wrong their children.

He thought so, but Hu Mingchen was not stupid, so he did not continue to ask. What should be known will be known sooner or later. Asking when you should not know will be annoying and make people feel ignorant.

"Master, what happened to those people who had conflicts with my family in the first year of junior high school?" He could no longer "care" about Song Qiaoshan's family situation, so Hu Mingchen changed the topic.

"It has been handed over to the county. After a while, the procuratorate should file charges. Those gangsters should stay in there for two or three years before they come out." Song Qiaoshan is the main person in charge of this matter.

Of course he knew the process, and it was normal for him to make predictions.

Although the public security organs, prosecutors and law handle cases independently, they have a close cooperative relationship to a certain extent.

"Those guys should take care of themselves, otherwise they would wander around on the ground in Duge Township all day long, adding a lot of unstable factors." Hu Mingchen said slightly angrily.

"In recent years, the public security in Duge Township has not been very good. Taking advantage of this matter, it is necessary to kill the evil spirits. However, your cinema still needs to strengthen related work. As a crowded place, it is difficult to prevent similar things.

It won't happen again. While a movie theater is prospering the local area, it also has certain risks. In this regard, you'd better tell your parents and make them aware." Song Qiaoshan kindly warned.

Someone was instigating what happened before, and it was relatively simple. However, if some public security conflicts occur frequently, there is no guarantee that it will not further touch the nerves in the township.

Although the whole country is talking about development, at the local level, some cadres do not pay much attention to development, or do not have the ability to think of ways to develop, so the pursuit of stability has become the first option.

The villagers still support Hu Mingchen's family in this incident, but if something happens every three days, even a simple fight between young people will make some people uncomfortable. At that time, the simplest and clearest method those people can take may be

Close movie theaters.

Lazy thinking does not allow them to think about the root causes of social instability; they only know how to eliminate the superficial phenomena.

"Thank you, Master, for reminding us. We are already aware of it, and... I also asked Qin Hu to take proper care of me. All kinds of people will show up in the cinema, and we can't refuse those people to come."

." Hu Mingchen said.

"Well, I don't object to you and Qin Hu getting close. The police station itself is also obliged to maintain law and order, but I want to remind you that the relationship must be within a certain limit. Don't go too far, otherwise, there will be consequences.

It might end up harming yourself, do you understand?" Song Qiaoshan reminded him kindly.

Song Qiaoshan's words were not made clear. Although his mind was still a little confused, Hu Mingchen vaguely guessed that Song Qiaoshan might be targeting him for Hu Mingchen's spending two thousand yuan to rent Qin Hu.

Hu Mingchen did not tell anyone else about it except his family, but he was not sure whether Qin Hu would tell it. Anyway, Song Qiaoshan would not say it without any purpose.

In fact, Song Qiaoshan didn't know that much in detail. He was not from the Intelligence Bureau. But no matter how stupid Song Qiaoshan was, he knew that if Qin Hu had no benefits, how could he be so hardworking and obedient? What kind of character was the person below him? Song Qiaoshan didn't

Maybe it's not clear at all.
