The trembling Sheng Zhenran was led into the study by Luo Peidong's secretary. She was considered a good-looking woman in Yuzhou, and she had dealt with various high-ranking officials. However, this was the first time she was afraid of being like this. The reason why she was afraid of becoming like this.

In this way, in addition to the fact that the conversation she was about to face was closely related to her, Luo Peidong's tough style was really frightening.

In the eyes of Chu Chengmu, Luo Peidong may just have a strong aura, but he can still be called an amiable elder. But in the eyes of outsiders, this practical man who usually doesn't talk much is actually a real person.

The evil star has a strong desire for revenge. If something happens to the people under his rule today, tomorrow he will dare to organize the police force to go south and kill them in a river of blood.

As soon as he glanced at the study that was closed from the inside, Chu Chengmu was dragged to the sofa in the living room by Luo Xiyu and sat down.

He looked around and saw that it was noon now, but there was no figure of Luo's mother in the kitchen not far from the living room. Chu Chengmu couldn't help but asked a little strangely: "Where is Auntie?"

Luo Xiyu first glanced at the frosted glass window of the study room with his neck raised, and found that his father seemed to be sitting behind the desk. Then he quietly picked up his handbag, took out several tea bags, and then

He quickly handed it to Chu Chengmu and said in a low voice:

"Put it away quickly. I replaced Lao Luo's tea with green tea on the market. After lunch, we will run away. Otherwise, if we let him know, he will talk about me again. My mother is going to a friend's house

My granddaughter is having a full moon drink, and she will probably have to talk about me again when she comes back tonight. Fortunately, I am going back to Jincheng this afternoon, hehehe!"

After speaking, Luo Xiyu also made a sealing gesture to the secretary who was taking the tea leaves to make tea. The life secretary who had been with Lao Luo for several years couldn't help but shook his head in a funny manner and also made gestures on his lips.

Luo Xiyu made a gesture of zipping up, and then nodded with satisfaction.

Chu Chengmu looked at the exchange between the two, and he couldn't help but put several small tea bags into his handbag. One of them felt hard to the touch. It must be the one Luo Xiyu mentioned on the phone yesterday.

Tea cake.

"Didn't you say on the phone yesterday that you would come over only when you were free? Why did you suddenly come here today? Come on, accompany me to the kitchen to cook. Wait, little brother, can you move this arm now? How dare you just now?

Is the woman holding your arm that Sheng Yiran?" Luo Xiyu saw Chu Chengmu put away all the tea bags, his crescent eyes narrowed again with a smile, he stood up and tugged Chu Chengmu's right hand and asked.

Upon hearing this, Chu Chengmu put his bag in the corner of the sofa, stood up, and walked towards the kitchen with Luo Xiyu. He rolled up his shirt sleeves and said with a smile:

"I can't do heavy work yet, but cooking and other things are no problem! It's her. Originally, I brought Sheng Yeran here today because Uncle Robert wanted to see her by name, and I didn't think you were still here in the courtyard. I planned to meet her.

You go to the hospital to change the dressing when you are dead. But you, didn't you tell me yesterday that your aunt would never bother you again? Why are you avoiding me again today?"

Luo Xiyu walked into the kitchen in a few steps, took out an apron from behind the door, stepped on his toes, and put the Chucheng curtain around his neck. Then he went around behind him and tied the apron for him, and sighed:

"This is my apron, I'll make it up for you! Hey, you can't afford to mess with a middle-aged woman. She has intermittent convulsions, coming in and out. She even talked to me about it before going out in the morning. If she comes back in the evening,

, why don’t you annoy me to death? You

I didn’t say you were coming, so I made a pork rib soup at noon today. If I had known earlier that you were coming, I would have stewed the black-bone chicken. By the way, little brother, the new director of education here in Jincheng has been selected.

Come out, guess who it is?"

Chu Chengmu tied up his apron and glanced at the bean sprouts, coriander and a piece of lean meat in the sink. He picked up the lean meat and put it on the cutting board. He took out a kitchen knife from the knife holder and washed it.

Luo Xiyu, who was opening the lid of the pot to watch the heat, asked, "Who is it? Do I know him? Are you preparing to make boiled pork slices?"

Putting the lid back on the pot, Luo Xiyu also put on an apron, walked a few steps to the stove, stood beside Chu Chengmu, washed his hands, and then grabbed a ball of soaked hair from a metal basin.

The swollen vermicelli came out and said:

"Well, maybe the weather has been too hot recently, and Lao Luo doesn't have much of an appetite. I'll make him some dishes with strong flavors to appetize him! Brother, I'll leave the boiled pork slices to you, and I'll get him some ants

Shangshu and spicy chicken, plus a diving pickle, should be enough!”

"As for the candidate! You must know him. If you don't know me, I won't ask you to guess, right?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Chengmu looked at the texture of the lean meat, picked up the kitchen knife and cut it.

Unexpectedly, when he cut down the knife, he immediately felt a little strenuous, so Chu Chengmu tried the blade of the kitchen knife with his finger again, and it felt a little dull. He looked around and found that the whetstone was leaning against the wall inside the sink.

, picked up the whetstone, poured some water on it, and then said while sharpening the knife:

"On such a hot day, you make a heavy appetizer for Uncle Robert? You can't imagine it! I know him? He can't be the former principal of our Jincheng Middle School, right?"

Hearing this, Luo Xiyu smiled helplessly, picked up a bowl of minced meat, turned on the natural gas stove, and said: "Clever! Guess, why did you choose him? Lao Luo is so heavy on food.

, I can’t help it! Fortunately, he is still from the north, but the taste is heavier than that of me, a Yuzhou native!”

Chu Chengmu sharpened the knife a few times and tested the sharpness of the knife edge with his fingers again. Then he nodded with satisfaction, then cleaned the whetstone, put it away, and said while cutting meat.

:

"Sister, if you hadn't said you were from Yuzhou, I would have always had the illusion that you were from Kyoto. In fact, the appetizers of Shuyu people are very simple. In the morning, they have a big bowl of white porridge, followed by spicy and sour pickles.

It’s best to use kohlrabi or ginger, cut into cubes, add a few drops of sesame oil, and your appetite will be whetted in just a few clicks.”

"As for why we chose him, let me think about it! Our principal had to be transferred to the Jincheng Education Bureau because of a drug incident in the school. When such a big incident happened, most other principals would directly

If he can still get through even though he was taken down, it means that his relationship in Jincheng or Yuzhou is pretty good."

"If he is proposed as a candidate, with his own connections and the presence of you and Chang Shan, there is a high chance that it will be approved by the Jincheng District Committee. But he has bad records, plus his age

He’s not too young anymore, and it’s unlikely that he’ll go any further. He’ll live a steady life for a few years, and then…”

Luo Xiyu saw that the pot was almost hot, so he picked up the rapeseed oil on hand and poured it in. While the oil was hot and the oil was cooling, he added onions, ginger and garlic, and stir-fried quickly.

After a while, when the aroma was stir-fried, he picked up the bowl with the meat filling and scooped all the meat filling into the pot with a spoon. While looking at the color of the meat filling, he said to Chu Chengmu:

"Smart! Of course, another reason is that when I served in the Jincheng Education Bureau, I served as the party committee secretary of your school. I am an old partner with him, and I have something to say! Strictly speaking, what happened last time

Come on, he and I are both victims, but I was able to escape the disaster by relying on you, little brother, without leaving any stain on my resume. His luck is not so good."

"Brother, sometimes I have a feeling that with your talent and sensitivity in this area, if you can have a good family to support you, it would be a pity not to join politics."

Chu Chengmu cut the meat slices in a few times, washed the soybean sprouts and coriander, and said with a smile:

"I can't do it. I have some serious character flaws and there are too many things that I can't stand. If I really fall into that environment, I'm afraid I'll be depressed in a few days! Isn't it said that I have a strong desire for revenge?

What? With such a reputation at such a young age, you can still be used as a protective shield in shopping malls, and entering politics is a big taboo!"

Hearing this, Luo Xiyu couldn't help but chuckle. Seeing that the meat filling in the pot had changed color due to frying, he threw the soaked vermicelli into the pot, added some light soy sauce and sugar, and stir-fried

After stirring for a while, I poured in the chicken juice that I had prepared earlier, stir-fried until the color was even, then put the lid on the pot and said with a smile:

"These things you have done! If you count carefully, there are only two things where you took the initiative to provoke others. It's good now, you didn't eat the mutton, and you also made a mess! But it is indeed a good thing, no matter who in the future

If I want to plot against you or target you, I must first consider your unforgiving character. If I can't kill you at once, then it's best not to take action against you."

Luo Xiyu and Chu Chengmu are both good cooks. The two siblings chatted and laughed while preparing lunch. They brought the food to the dining table and waited for a while.

Seeing Luo Peidong opening the study door and walking out with a tea cup, Sheng Yiran followed him, looking very uneasy.

Upon seeing this, Chu Chengmu confessed his crime to Luo Peidong and Luo Xiyu, walked towards Sheng Zhenran, and then walked out of the small single-family building with her. He brought the people in, and now the matter is over.

Naturally, he has to send it out. Everything in life must have a beginning and an end.

Before going out, Sheng Zhenran turned her head and glanced at the steaming food near the dining table, as well as Luo Xiyu and Luo Peidong, who were looking sideways at herself and Chu Chengmu. She looked at Chu Chengmu with a complicated look, and walked out of Luo Peidong's room in a few steps.

Dong Xiaoyuan, then smiled self-deprecatingly at Chu Chengmu, and said: "I now understand a little bit how you held it back the night before yesterday."

Hearing this, Chu Chengmu chuckled, identified the direction, stretched out his hand to brush away the branches of the yellow-horned tree in front of his eyes, walked towards the back door of the family compound, and said: "That's not exactly the case.

The reason is that I am always accustomed to thinking the worst of people first, and my first reaction to the delicious food that comes to my mouth is usually, is this poisonous?"

After hearing this, Sheng Zhenran followed Chu Chengmu silently, looked at the tall boy, and shook his head mockingly again. He was about to reach the back gate guarded by the armed police. A red-haired boy

The woman couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you going to ask what Deputy Mayor Luo and I talked about?"

After hearing this, Chu Chengmu shook his head and said:

"I will know what I should know, and I won't ask more questions about what I shouldn't know. My purpose has always been simple. Getting the land in Yuzhou is why so many twists and turns have happened now.

, it’s just someone blocking the way!”

"I can still kick away smaller stones, but those stones that are too heavy should be left to capable people! My feet are quite tender. If I kick them down without knowing what is good, it will be easy."

I kicked my toes off."

"Then Chu Chengmu, can I ask you, what do you know?" Sheng Zhenran followed Chu Chengmu to the gate. When she was about to lean over to get in the car, the woman looked up at Chu Chengmu again.

Chengmu asked.

Chu Chengmu sighed after hearing this and said:

"I know! It's a bit too much. But you, I just praised you for being smart yesterday, why are you acting stupid again now? Okay, if you have nothing to do, go back and take a rest. I saw your look last night.

I’m afraid I didn’t sleep well. If anything happens, we’ll talk about it tomorrow when we meet!”

After hearing this, Sheng Zhenran stopped insisting. She walked into the Audi and opened the window. Seeing Chu Chengmu turning around and going to the family compound, she bit her lower lip again and asked the tall figure from behind.

Said: "Chu Chengmu, are we still friends?"

The tall male voice paused after hearing the words, then raised his right hand and waved behind him to say goodbye, but did not answer Sheng Yiran's question.

Returning to Luo Peidong's single-family courtyard, as soon as he opened the door, Luo Xiyu waved to Chu Chengmu and said: "Brother, come here quickly, we are still waiting for you! These ribs are free-range black.

Pork ribs won’t taste good if they’re cold.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Chengmu smiled slightly, quickened his pace, walked to the dining table, and sat down next to Luo Xiyu.

After lunch, Chu Chengmu helped Luo Xiyu carry the dinner plates and other items into the kitchen. As soon as he put on rubber gloves and prepared to wash the dishes, he was stopped by Luo Peidong, who was holding a teacup.

"Xiao Mu, let Xiao Yu'er wash the dishes! Come and chat with me in the study!" Luo Peidong greeted.

Hearing this, Luo Xiyu wrinkled his nose at Luo Peidong and said dissatisfied: "Dad, you are not so partial. My younger brother is my younger brother first, and then your nephew and younger brother. Why are you and him working together now, but me?"

I’m alone!”

When Chu Chengmu heard this, he also smiled at Luo Peidong and said, "Uncle, it's just a few bowls. I'll come over to you after washing them."
