Cao Rui felt that life was too difficult and unbearable.

He had just stepped down from the position of secretary of the Party Committee of Qilihe Town and felt very uncomfortable. He always felt that many people looked at him strangely.

But now he feels that he was in heaven at that time, and life is really difficult now. There is no news from Liu Xiaojing, and Cao Rui can't do anything or provide any help.

Gao Yi's case is now full of rumors all over the world, and the relationship between Gao Yi and Liu Xiaojing has also been exaggerated, and a lot of strange things have been said.

That's why Cao Rui now feels that the setbacks in the past were too ordinary and not worth mentioning. The current life is really difficult.

Putting aside work matters, the family is scattered. In the past, Liu Xiaojing was in charge of the family, Duoduo also felt supported, and his parents also felt that Cao Rui's family was complete. Now his parents are also under a lot of pressure.

Cao Rui simply took Gao Shenghai to Yongping, but Jinju Villa was not suitable, so Cao Rui let Gao Shenghai live in a house in his own community.

Cao Rui felt that he had a deep understanding of the cruelty of reality before, but now he realizes that those previous understandings were still too superficial, and now they are unforgettable.

The two men lived together. At first, Cao Rui felt that Gao Shenghai had problems with his life, but later he realized that he was overly worried.

Gao Shenghai can cook well and is good at tidying up. The house is kept in order.

It's easy for Cao Rui to go to work now. No one will care about him after he goes there. Even the leaders are not willing to run in the direction of the Party History Office. However, Cao Rui is warmed by the behavior of several colleagues in the Party History Office.

Therefore, there is a saying from the ancients that really makes sense, "Every dog ​​is slaughtered for righteousness, and a scholar is the one who is unfaithful." Many of Cao Rui's friends who used to be brothers now want to dig three feet of ground for themselves and bury them in the soil.

Cao Rui simply played chess with the old man every day. One day, after playing chess, Gao Shenghai suddenly said:

"Cao Rui, Gao Yi just fell down!"

Gao Shenghai spoke for half a sentence. Cao Rui wanted to ask again, but Gao Shenghai stopped talking.

Waiting until January 2008, there happened to be a major ice and snow disaster in Shonan Province. A sudden heavy snowfall seemed to have sealed the world.

At about eight o'clock in the morning, Cao Rui suddenly received a call.

"Cao Rui...I am Xiaojing..."

When Cao Rui heard Liu Xiaojing's familiar voice on the other end of the phone, he jumped up and said, "Xiaojing? Where are you?"

On an icy and snowy day, Cao Rui installed anti-skid chains on his car and drove straight from Yongping to Wude. He did not say hello to anyone, did not ask for leave from work, and did not tell his parents or Lao Gao.

He drove slowly alone in the ice and snow. It took three hours to get there, which usually takes one hour.

When I arrived at Wude, I found Liu Xiaojing according to her location.

Liu Xiaojing lost a lot of weight and looked very haggard. After seeing Cao Rui, she remained motionless and just shed tears.

"Xiao Jing!"

Cao Rui went over and couldn't help but put her in his arms and said:

"Xiao Jing, it's not a big deal. The worst we can do is go to the sea together. Hu Li has told me a long time ago that he told me not to be such a small civil servant and to follow him. The sea and the sky are brighter...

Liu Xiaojing thrust her head into Cao Rui's arms, like a kitten hiding in the bed, burrowing in hard. "

Cao Rui hugged her tightly, and the two of them hugged her like this without speaking, as if the two of them were completely integrated into one body.

After an unknown amount of time, Cao Rui held her head up and wanted to ask something, but in the end he didn't.

Liu Xiaojing started to shed tears. The tears flowed so loudly that Cao Rui couldn't even wipe them away with his hands.

"It's okay, Xiaojing, we will handle things together. We are both planning to get married. From now on, we will share the same destiny!" Cao Rui said.

Liu Xiaojing smiled, and the smile that bloomed at this moment was particularly bright.

Cao Rui also smiled, and then hugged her tightly.

"What's going on with Gao Yi?"

Liu Xiaojing shook her head and Cao Rui said:

"I'll take you back today, okay?"

Liu Xiaojing said: "I won't go back for the time being!"

"Then I'll stay here with you and help you figure things out!"

Liu Xiaojing didn't say anything, so Cao Rui found a hotel and stayed in it. That night, the two of them were passionate about each other.

The second day, the third day...

Three days later, Liu Xiaojing suddenly left. Cao Rui didn't know when she left. Cao Rui called her, and Liu Xiaojing cried:

"Cao Rui, I'm leaving. Don't ask too many questions. You... take care of yourself."

Cao Rui felt a "bang" in his head, and he said frantically: "Why? Where are you going? What are you telling me about..."

"Snapped!"

The call was hung up, and Cao Rui stared blankly at the phone. He opened the door of the hotel. The room was neatly tidied, and Cao Rui's clothes were folded meticulously.

Cao Rui held the clothes with his hands, and he seemed to be able to feel the woman's body temperature.

What the hell!

Cao Rui couldn't accept it, not at all. He called Hu Li directly and asked directly:

"Hu Li, do me a favor and check the trains and planes that will leave Wude City within two hours. I need to find someone..."

Hu Li called five minutes later and said:

"There is no way to check. With such a big ice disaster now, the railway bureau is extremely busy. The airport...can your Wude airport still allow planes to fly?"

Cao Rui walked out of the hotel. It was snowing heavily outside again. He kept dialing Liu Xiaojing's phone, but the call could no longer be answered.

He thought that in such an icy and snowy environment, how many tourists from other places were trying their best to go home, because the Spring Festival was approaching and it was soon the time for family reunions, but Liu Xiaojing went against the trend.

Cao Rui walked aimlessly on the street of Wude. It was freezing and cold. There were few people on the road and there were only a few cars. Cao Rui didn't know how far he had walked. His whole body was covered with snow and he was exhausted.

When Cao Rui returned to the hotel, he saw an acquaintance downstairs - Xiang Jinlong.

"Principal Xiang..."

"Mayor Gao is worried about you and asked me to come find you. With such heavy ice and snow, it's better to go back to Yongping!"

Cao Rui didn't say anything. His car had snow chains. Xiang Jinlong didn't say much. He got in the car and sat in the passenger seat of Cao Rui. The two returned to Yongping in the heavy snow.

After more than four hours of jolting, they entered Yongping County, Xiang Jinlong said:

"Director Cao, this blind man Deng Xuechu is really quite capable. The calculation he made for you about the possibility of a peaceful future has come true. It will be fine if this wave of events is over..."

Cao Rui was originally very silent, but when he heard Xiang Jinlong's words, his guard suddenly broke and he said angrily:

"My wife has run away, so what else can I do if I can't come back? Even if I can't come back, what's the point of it to me? It's meaningless..."
