~Date:~October 23rd~

The road conditions on West Street were not bad, but when turning into Meilan Lane, Lu Weimin felt that he had taken the wrong road.
Meilan Lane has a nice name, but it is actually an alley. The Mitsubishi Montero can be driven in, but if a car comes from the opposite direction, it will be blocked immediately. However, Lu Weimin also estimates that cars can come out of such a back alley.
The sex was almost nonexistent, so I drove in regardless.
"We can only park here. Secretary Lu, you can make a U-turn here. I'll live in front and I'll walk back by myself." Du Xiaomei signaled Lu Weimin to stop, opened the door and got out of the car.
"Wait a minute." Lu Weimin never thought that Du Xiaomei would live in such a nook alley. The parking place was slightly more spacious. Lu Weimin smelled a smell, and then realized that it was a large garbage pool.
There is an open-air cesspit next to the garbage tank. No wonder it is spacious and can accommodate U-turns.
The outside of the garbage pool was also full of garbage. Two elm trees were close to the wall, with swaying branches and leaves. They looked eerie in the dark night. There was only a dim street lamp in the distance. Lu Weimin couldn't imagine that sometimes Du Xiaomei would be there at nine o'clock in the evening.
You didn't come back until ten o'clock, how dare you go here?
"I'll take you in." Lu Weimin didn't say much. Seeing that Du Xiaomei was still stumbling a little, he didn't care much, so he simply grabbed the other person's arm, helped him and walked in.
"I can do it on my own,..." Du Xiaomei was a little embarrassed. She also knew that it was inappropriate for Lu Weimin to support her like this. If someone saw her, it would inevitably lead to some rumors. Although people who knew Lu Weimin here did not
many.
"Okay, let's go." Lu Weimin ignored the other person and helped him move forward, "You're going to live here? The environment here looks very bad, and it's a bit unsafe to walk at night."
Du Xiaomei heard the meaning in Lu Weimin's words, and her heart felt warm again, "I just moved here not long ago."
"Why did you move to this place?" Lu Weimin asked with some confusion. He was already in front of a double door. Du Xiaomei took out the key from her bag, opened the secret lock, and pushed the door open.
This is a small courtyard with four or five rooms. The two rooms at the top still have lights. You can vaguely see a girl kneeling in front of the table doing homework, while in the other room, through the screen door, a middle-aged woman is doing her homework.
Talking to an old man sitting on the bed.
Lu Weimin was a little surprised. Could it be that this was Du Xiaomei's husband's family? It didn't look like it.
"This is the house I rent. I rent a room by myself and live here. My sister and the others don't know yet." Du Xiaomei felt a little nauseous again. The middle-aged woman in the opposite room saw Lu Weimin and Du
Smiling eyebrows came out in a hurry and came over, "Xiao Du, are you back? What's wrong?"
"Sister Wu, it's okay. I'm feeling a little uncomfortable after drinking two glasses of wine." Du Xiaomei hurriedly explained, as if she was afraid of the other person. An unhappy look appeared on the middle-aged woman's face, and her eyes fell on Lu Weimin's face again.
, "You can't drink but you still want to drink? Is this person...?"
"He is my... friend, his surname is Lu. It's okay. I just feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach. I'll be fine after a nap. I'm going to rest. Lu..., you can go back too, I'm fine." Du Xiaomei
He signaled to Lu Weimin that he could leave, but Lu Weimin saw that Du Xiaomei's face was ugly. It was not as simple as being nauseated after drinking wine, so he hesitated for a moment. Then he said: "Xiaomei, are you feeling unwell or sick?"
"No. I'm fine." Du Xiaomei shook his head, but felt that he seemed a little top-heavy and his head was a little dizzy.
"Forget it, let me take you in and lie down first." Lu Weimin sighed, helped Du Xiaomei up and walked to the room on the far side.
The middle-aged woman was also a little surprised when she saw that Du Xiaomei did not refuse Lu Weimin's support.
When Du Xiaomei first came to rent a house, she saw that Du Xiaomei was so beautiful and was alone. She thought that some men would inevitably come to the house, so she didn't want to rent it. However, she agreed after Du Xiaomei's repeated assurances.
Du Xiaomei has been here for three months, and indeed no man has come to her door. And although Du Xiaomei usually seems a bit arrogant, when she comes into contact with him, she feels that he is not as arrogant as she imagined, which reassures her that he is also the one today.
The first man I saw walked into Du Xiaomei's room, so I was a little surprised. However, Lu Weimin looked upright and didn't look like someone from outside. He just seemed to be two years younger than Du Xiaomei. Women are two years older these days.
She is a normal age, so she feels much more at ease.
There are many such small courtyards and larger courtyards in small counties. In addition to many of them being old residents on the street, there are also many employees and their families of street enterprises and some commercial enterprises such as supply and marketing cooperatives and catering companies.
Most of the employees and their families have low incomes. Those who have private houses naturally live in private houses, while most of those who don’t have private houses rent public houses.
However, Shuangfeng's financial situation is not good, so there is naturally very little investment in this area. The living conditions in both private and public housing are very poor, and public facilities are not complete. Many of them do not have running water, and they have to use pressure wells to pressurize water themselves.
Most of the time, briquettes are used for cooking and boiling water. Some large courtyards only have a mixed-use toilet. But in a small courtyard like this, Lu Weimin didn't even see a toilet. He probably could only solve the problem in the public toilet in the lane.
This small courtyard should be a private house, and Du Xiaomei should be renting a house from this household.
Under the curious look of the middle-aged woman behind him, Lu Weimin helped Du Xiaomei open the door to the room. Du Xiaomei struggled and walked in. Lu Weimin carefully closed the door, but Du Xiaomei could no longer hold on and leaned on the bed.
He sat with his head on the bed.
"Secretary Lu, I'm really troubling you today, and I asked you to come..."
"Come on, Xiaomei, I haven't bothered you long enough? Just think of it as repaying me today." Lu Weimin smiled and looked at the room carefully. It was a room of about ten square meters, with a door in the middle.
The curtain separates the outer room from the inner room. The curtain is usually open, but it is closed probably when someone comes to show the separation between the bedroom and the outer room.
Seeing Lu Weimin's eyes on the corner of the wall, Du Xiaomei blushed and struggled to get up. There were some women's private items hanging in the corner, including a purple bra and lace panties of the same color. No wonder Du Xiaomei was a little shy.
"Okay, Xiaomei, I'm not a young man who has never seen anything, nor am I a pervert with voyeurism or fetishism. Well, I have seen these things." Lu Weimin guessed Du Xiaomei's intention and waved
Waving his hand, "You should lie down. I see that your face looks ugly. A few glasses of sugar cane wine won't make you feel so uncomfortable, right?"
"I don't know why I feel so uncomfortable. It shouldn't be, but now my body feels weak, my head feels dizzy, and I have some chills."
Du Xiaomei didn't know what to do now. He was alone and felt weak. He probably caught a cold, but the other party was a big man and a leader. He couldn't let him wait on him, right? He should have known it earlier.
I live at Eighth Sister's place and shouldn't come back. Eighth Sister is also a person anyway.
Lu Weimin casually shook Du Xiaomei's hand. The palm of his hand was a little clammy. Lu Weimin was surprised. This was a sign of physical discomfort. He casually and naturally touched Du Xiaomei's forehead. Du Xiaomei felt a little embarrassed.
He wanted to avoid Lu Weimin's hand, but failed.
There was some warmth on his forehead, but he couldn't feel anything yet. Lu Weimin felt a little relieved, but when he saw that except for the two red spots on his cheeks, the rest of Du Xiaomei's face was extremely pale, and Du Xiaomei was also holding on to his energy.
When I'm talking to myself, it's probably because I can't lie down even when the other person is around.
After thinking about it, Lu Weimin asked Du Xiaomei if there was any cold medicine here. Du Xiaomei hesitated before shaking her head. It had not been long since she moved here, and she had not had time to prepare these daily necessities.
"Xiaomei, I'm afraid you have a cold and you need to take some medicine. How about I send you to the county hospital for a checkup." Lu Weimin suggested.
Du Xiaomei refused to go, feeling that she was fine, just a little uncomfortable, and after drinking a few glasses of wine, she felt that she should be fine after a rest.
Lu Weimin felt that it was not that simple. Du Xiaomei usually seemed to be in good health, but suddenly she became so listless. It must be because her body couldn't bear it. He asked Du Xiaomei to lie down first, and he went out to buy some medicine for her.
Lu Weimin took Du Xiaomei's key and went out. When he went out, he met the middle-aged woman diagonally opposite who was looking at him with a concerned expression: "Xiao Lu, is Xiao Du okay? Are you her partner?"
Are you here? I've never seen you here before. This is the first time for Xiao Du Ke to bring a partner here."
Lu Weimin was embarrassed for a while, neither nodding nor shaking his head, so he could only say vaguely: "She is feeling a little uncomfortable. I'm going to buy some medicine for her."
"Oh, do you want me to watch it for you..." the middle-aged woman said immediately, quite enthusiastically.
"No, I'll be right back. She might have just laid down right now." Lu Weimin waved his hand. When the middle-aged woman saw this, she probably felt that the young couple was having sex with each other and they didn't want outsiders to get involved. Being uncomfortable was just an excuse, so maybe she could go out now.
I just went to get some things for the evening, so I didn't say anything more, just let me know if I needed anything.
Lu Weimin thanked the other party and went out, got in the car and ran to East Street.
It's past nine o'clock now. Except for the East Street in the small county town, which is still somewhat popular, the other streets are dark and empty. There is a movie in the cinema at 8:30, and the weather is getting hot. There are beer stalls.
It's also out, and it usually doesn't get really quiet until after twelve o'clock.
Fortunately, there is still a drugstore open on East Main Street, which is probably about to close. There are not many drugstores these days. I don’t expect that in ten years, drugstores will be all over the street, more than clothing stores.
After buying a few paramethacin and cold granules, Lu Weimin went straight back.
