Chapter 108: Literary Competition Preparations Nearing Completion

Zhou Andong climbed to the peak, grabbed the little white rabbit and rubbed it, then went down the mountain, stepped on the plain, walked through the grass, entered the canyon, and stopped when he met the stream.

Zhou Andong was thirsty, he hadn't drunk water for a long time, so he was very nostalgic for the place with water. And Jian Qiu, this water source, was also ready, opened up to let Zhou Andong drink his fill.

Just at this moment, the door was knocked with a bang, and the little girl's shout came from outside: "Big brother, sister-in-law, it's very cold outside, open the door quickly."

Zhou Andong sighed, little girl, do you know how bitter your brother is? Can you be quiet and give brother some time.

Jian Qiu hurriedly fastened her belt, buttoned her clothes, saw Zhou Andong's expression of lovelessness, kissed him on the mouth, which was considered comfort, and then ran over to open the door and let the little girl in.

"Oh, why didn't you wear cotton clothes." Jian Qiu hugged the little girl and stuffed her into Zhou Andong's quilt, "Running out wearing only line clothes and line pants, what if you catch a cold? You can't do this in the future."

The little girl smiled and said: "It's okay, I won't get sick."

Zhou Andong smiled. In his memory, after two years old, this girl really hadn't been sick, not even a cold. That is, when giving birth, she had the opportunity to get an injection by cesarean section.

"That won't work either." Jian Qiu said very seriously: "When it's cold, you have to wear more clothes, do you know?"

"I know." The little girl stuck out her tongue and said obediently: "Sister-in-law, I want to sleep in the same quilt as you."

Jian Qiu smiled and pinched the little girl's nose: "Okay, but you have to be obedient."

"Okay, I will definitely be obedient." The little girl wanted to crawl out of the quilt, but was pressed back by Jian Qiu, "Stay honestly in the quilt."

Because the little girl was there, Zhou Andong and Jian Qiu could only chat about some work matters properly.

"Zuo Peiming asked you to be the person in charge of the merger of the county distillery?" Jian Qiu heard Zhou Andong say it, and also felt it was a bit incredible, this was too unreasonable.

Zhou Andong took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. Jian Qiu picked up the lighter and lit it for him. He watched the smoke drifting in front of his eyes and said softly: "Often, the more unreasonable, the bigger the things hidden behind."

Jian Qiu pondered and said: "I think it should be a good thing, otherwise, it's impossible to let you be in charge of such important work as merging the county distillery."

Zhou Andong nodded: "Wait, no matter how big the matter is, when the time comes, naturally you will know."

Jian Qiu smiled: "This afternoon, Hearing Guan Shengjie called, the preparations for the short story literary competition are almost done. There are eight magazines cooperating: 'Contemporary', 'Reader', 'Liaoning Youth', 'Sprout', 'People's Literature', 'October', 'Harvest', 'Writer's Digest'. Propaganda and solicitation of contributions will start on March 1st and end at the end of March."

Zhou Andong was very surprised: "Hearing Guan Shengjie is capable, the influence of these eight magazines is not small."

Jian Qiu said: "'Liaoning Youth' has a lot of influence in our province, but in the whole country, compared with other magazines, there is still a gap. The reason for choosing it is because the distillery is in Jiangzhou, in Liaoning province."

Zhou Andong chatted with Jian Qiu, and it was already very late without knowing it. Seeing that the little girl had fallen asleep, the two smiled at each other.

Jian Qiu leaned over and kissed Zhou Andong, whispering: "I'll carry her to sleep."

"Let me carry her over, this girl is not light." Zhou Andong got off the ground, wrapped the little girl in a quilt and carried her, "Let's go."

The two came to the west room, put the little girl down, Zhou Andong said: "I'm going over, if you go to the toilet, there is a flashlight, let Xiao Qin accompany you."

Jian Qiu pushed Zhou Andong out of the door; "You go to sleep, you don't need to worry about me here."

Zhou Andong went to the east room and called Zhou Anbei: "Xiao Bei, go back to sleep." This kid still has a sense of propriety, knowing his brother is bitter in his heart, and doesn't go to disturb him.

Waking up the next morning, Zhou Andong had a whim and practiced a set of boxing, and his whole body's bones rattled.

Adding the two lives together, it had been many years since he practiced boxing. After practicing this set of boxing, he broke into a sweat, felt unspeakably comfortable, and then fetched a basin of water and took a cold shower outside. In an instant, a layer of goosebumps rose on his body, and the mist steamed up.

"So damn refreshing!" Zhou Andong shivered, ran back to the room to get a towel to wipe dry, and quickly put on his clothes.

Coming out, he happened to see Jian Qiu holding a water scoop, taking out a piece of ice from inside and biting it with a crunch: "So cold, it's too icy for my teeth."

Zhou Andong said helplessly: "You're not afraid of breaking your teeth."

Jian Qiu smiled and said: "I saw that the water vat was full of ice, so I got a piece."

"Time to eat!" Yuan Liying shouted in the room.

Last night's dumplings were heated, and a large basin of beef and potatoes was stewed. The two ate breakfast and took the bus back to the city.

"Go back with me to change clothes first, and then go to the factory." The two got off the bus at the passenger station, and Jian Qiu pulled Zhou Andong onto the bus.

At the gate of the Procuratorate family building, before dawn, an imported commercial vehicle was parked there.

And Tong Huaiyu was in the car, looking at the gate of the residential area through the privacy glass, and with the appearance of everyone entering and leaving, his face showed a look of disappointment.

"It's time for work, why haven't they come out yet?" Tong Huaiyu resisted the urge to go in and find them, because he knew Jian Qiu's temper very well. If he didn't even say hello and suddenly visited, he might provoke that eldest lady, which would be counterproductive.

Just as he was impatient and wanted to go to the distillery, he suddenly saw Jian Qiu get off the bus that had just stopped. This made his face happy, and just as he was about to get off the car, his body stiffened.

I saw another man get off the bus, Jian Qiu took the initiative to hold the man's hand, and a happy smile appeared on her face, which he had never seen before.

Tong Huaiyu felt that his heart was grabbed hard by an invisible big hand, very painful, as if the most beloved toy was snatched away by someone, that feeling was hard to describe.

Watching Jian Qiu and that man talking and laughing as they walked over, Tong Huaiyu's eyes were bloodshot, his hands clenched into fists, and his eyes were cold as the weather outside, which could freeze people.

Jian Qiu didn't come back last night, she must have been with this man. Who is he? How can he deserve to have such a perfect woman as Jian Qiu?

Tong Huaiyu's breathing became heavier and heavier, and his cold eyes slowly filled with murderous intent. No, Jian Qiu is mine, no one can snatch her away from my side, not even the King of Heaven.

"Han Long, see the man and woman in front? Investigate that man for me, I want his detailed information."

Han Long, who was sitting in the passenger seat, nodded, pushed the car door and got off. Looking at his walking posture, he should be a soldier, or used to be a soldier.

Tong Huaiyu took a deep breath and said to the driver: "Back to the hotel." ===== CHAPTER 109 =====
