Chapter 58: Think thrice

The next day, when the sun was high, the drunk classmates climbed up one by one to wash up.

After eating "hard" breakfasts like meat burgers, one utility vehicle and two sedans set off for the Baishu Bay forest.

Baishu Bay has the largest forest in Ningyang, so leaders come to camp from time to time, and the forest farm's equipment is naturally complete, with four tents. Relying on this, Lu Fan got to know many department leaders, and those from the municipal bureau had also been there several times.

Arriving at the destination, what came into view was a large expanse of pure lawn, giving people the urge to roll wantonly.

Lu Fan, Du Wenlong, and Li Yifeng skillfully set up tents and barbecue grills, while other classmates helped with things they could do. It was full of laughter.

Zhu Jianglin said, "I have lived in Ningyang for 20 years, and I didn't expect there to be such a beautiful place, with trees, grass, rivers, blue sky, and white clouds. Brother Fan, no one cares about camping here, right? Can you fish there?"

Du Wenlong smiled and said, "Put your heart in your stomach. Here, Brother Fan is the boss!"

Wang Meng'en sighed, "Blessings and misfortunes are interdependent. Everything is the best arrangement. When we start working, Brother Fan will be a big leader!"

After everything was ready, the chef Chen Tianhao became a full-time barbecue master, and Du Wenlong and Zhu Jianglin went fishing.

The classmates were happy together. The only disharmony was Zhou Tianhui and Chen Liqiong. On the surface, the two were chatting and laughing, as close as sisters, but every sentence was filled with thorns. Fortunately, Lu Fan was busy having fun with his brothers, otherwise, he would have realized the horror of women!

"Liqiong, what month is your birthday?"

"What month is yours?"

"I asked you first!"

"Confidential, but it must be older than yours. I am the older sister, and you are the younger sister!"

Zhou Tianhui resisted the word "younger sister" very much, so she used her trump card and whispered, "I didn't expect Baishu Bay to be so beautiful. I will come every vacation in the future. You don't know, Brother Fan is too sloppy. I have to take good care of him!"

"Little sister, I think we girls should be more reserved. After all, this is Lu Fan's unit, so pay attention to the influence."

"It's fine, anyway, I have an engagement with Brother Fan, so I'm not afraid of others gossiping."

"Little sister, what era is this? Can the jokes of adults be taken seriously? I don't think Lu Fan would be so ignorant."

"Liqiong, you are right. Brother Fan has taken care of me since I was a child. Don't look at his good relationship with Du Wenlong. When Du Wenlong bullied me when I was a child, Brother Fan beat him up a lot! He took me to play every day, and gave me the first bite of anything delicious. This is probably called childhood sweethearts, and feelings growing over time!"

Chen Liqiong couldn't listen anymore, got up and said, "Little sister Tianhui has a rich imagination. You can fantasize first, I'm going to give Yaoyao something to eat!"

Everyone knew the weight of the "sister-in-law" in Lu Fan's heart. Zhou Tianhui also got up and said, "I'm tired of sitting, let's go together. It's quite interesting to watch them barbecue."

Chen Liqiong smiled on her face, but thought in her heart: Follower, shameless! If you don't steam buns, you fight for breath. No matter what, you can't lose to her!

The friendship of high school classmates is the purest, and the most beautiful appearance of youth is imprinted in each other's minds. Everyone's thoughts are not so many, and making friends is just for comfort. After growing up, you can't be so simple, even in university.

They had a happy day, and everyone's face was filled with heartfelt smiles, except for those two.

When they returned to the forest farm, it was already dark. Lu Fan asked the chef to make a few dishes, and they continued to drink happily at night, drinking until late at night. None of them walked back to their rooms by themselves.

For several days in a row, everyone drank and slept, woke up and played, and after playing, drank again, repeating the cycle.

Finally, several classmates couldn't hold on anymore, saying they wouldn't stay no matter what, and fled Baishu Bay.

Only Chen Liqiong was unwilling when she left, because Zhou Tianhui was thick-skinned enough to stay behind and winked at her triumphantly. It was unbearable! But everyone had to leave, and she had no excuse to stay, so she could only follow her classmates away with hatred.

Just getting on the bus, Chen Liqiong asked Huang Xiaoyu who was sitting next to her, "Tell me, am I beautiful? Or is Zhou Tianhui beautiful?"

"This, of course, our class flower is beautiful!"

"You have good eyes! That Zhou Tianhui is really thick-skinned!"

Everyone dared not answer, so as not to be affected.

For Zhou Tianhui staying behind, Lu Fan was a little helpless. The whole township had spread, saying that Farm Director Lu's wife was here, but he couldn't drive people away! He still had to treat her with good food and drink. Fortunately, his sister was there to accompany her, otherwise, it would be embarrassing to death.

Days passed, and Lu Fan seemed to have adapted to Zhou Tianhui's existence, having that feeling again, better than friendship, not like love, and mixed with family affection, which was unclear.

After staying for more than ten days, Zhou Tianhui also went home. Her dad urged her with one phone call after another, and Lu Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

On July 20, the siblings sat in front of the computer anxiously waiting. Today, the high school entrance exam results were announced.

At 12 o'clock, Lu Fan logged into the Yingjiang City Enrollment Examination Network and entered Lu Yao's admission ticket number and ID number to start the query.

The moment he saw the results, Lu Fan was completely stunned!

Chinese 112 points, Math 116 points, English 114 points, Physics and Chemistry 116......

Out of a total of 620 points, Lu Yao actually scored 597 points, ranking eighth in the city!

Lu Fan hugged his sister tightly, his eyes were moist. Besides relief, he was full of heartache. How much effort did she put in to get this result!

"Yaoyao, Brother is proud of you! Last year, the self-funded score for Yingjiang Middle School was 517, and the public-funded score was 549. You can choose any high school in the city. Maybe there is hope for the five famous schools in Chang'an!"

"Brother, I don't want to study in Chang'an, it's too far from you!"

"Silly girl, if you can get into a high school in Chang'an, your upper limit for university will be higher. Look at Yingjiang Middle School, how many years has it been since they produced a Tsinghua or Peking University student? The five famous schools have at least dozens. Don't worry, if you can study in Chang'an, Brother will go to see you as long as there is nothing particularly important. That is the provincial capital, Brother can take advantage of you and go to play a few more times."

"Brother, will the schools in Chang'an be very expensive?"

"Yaoyao, you don't need to consider money. Brother has no burden to provide for your schooling!"

"You have to save money, you have to marry a wife, Brother, I am dragging you down!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Yaoyao, Brother has done some business and earned more than 200,000. If you don't believe me, take the card and check it yourself. It is more than enough to provide for your schooling!"

Lu Yao said happily, "Really? Brother, you are too amazing! No need to worry about you marrying a wife!" Not dragging her brother down made her happier than getting a high score.

Before long, Du Wenlong and Li Yifeng came to ask about Lu Yao's results. Hearing that she was eighth in the city, they were so surprised that their mouths couldn't close, and they all shouted that they must celebrate well.

Thus, that night, the forest farm held a grand banquet, and all the staff gathered to celebrate for Lu Yao.

The day after the results were announced, Lu Fan received calls from the admissions offices of the five famous schools in Chang'an one after another, all inviting Lu Yao to study at their schools. Lu Fangu was so happy that his mouth couldn't close, and he was radiant all day long.

These five schools basically gathered the best teachers and students in the province, and each school had good hardware facilities and excellent college entrance examination results, which were the goals that parents competed for, among which the Xigongda Affiliated Middle School was the well-deserved boss.

Since they had all received invitations, they would choose with their eyes closed. After the start of school, they would send Lu Yao to Xigongda Affiliated Middle School!

In the past few days, several strange faces appeared on the street of Baishu Bay, intentionally or unintentionally contacting the forest farm staff to inquire about Lu Fan's situation.

Lu Fan had been in Baishu Bay for several years and had a very good relationship with people, so he soon received the news.

Li Yifeng went to the shop to buy cigarettes and "ran into" this group of people.

A man in his thirties took the initiative to give Li Yifeng a cigarette and chatted enthusiastically.

At first, Li Yifeng didn't care, but as they chatted, he felt something was wrong. The man actually asked if their farm director was in the unit on July 4?

Li Yifeng said angrily, "Did you grow up eating seawater? You manage too much! Where could the director be if not in the unit? We played poker all night!" After speaking, he turned and left.

Returning to the unit, he immediately told Lu Fan about the abnormal situation and asked the director to be careful of those people.

Lu Fan ignored it and everything was as usual. Even if you are a thief, you shouldn't have a guilty conscience. These people were likely sent by the Le family.

Lu Fan guessed right. Although Le Xuezhi didn't care about this job, resigning and being secretly plotted against were two different things. He always felt that this matter was inseparable from Lu Fan, so he sent a few people up to investigate, but unfortunately, there was no gain.

This matter aroused Lu Fan's vigilance. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the last action was too reckless, full of loopholes, and very easy to burn himself. Sometimes, just by suspicion, people can take action against you. In the future, you must think thrice before acting!

At the end of August, Lu Fan attended the county-wide "Forest Creation" inspection mobilization meeting. The work that had been busy for more than two years was finally about to face a big exam.

After the meeting, Standing Committee Deputy County Chief Yang Chuanbei specifically called Lu Fan to his office, emphasized the importance of the Baishu Bay observation point, and required Lu Fan to pay more attention to his thinking, make the work more detailed, and use the limited time to check for gaps and fill them.

Director Guo Tongyu hinted that Baishu Bay might be the only observation point arranged by the county and must not drop the chain.
