Chapter 754 Stand in front of me

"How is your life going now?"

After a brief chat to break down the two girls' reserved mood, Gu Chengyuan took the opportunity to ask about specific life issues.

After all, he went on a secret visit today to understand the problem, not to create Xia Yuhe by Daming Lake.

"Report to the chief, the gathering place is developing better and better now, and our lives are pretty good."

"As for food and clothing, there is usually a canteen in the factory, where you can eat your fill and the food tastes good. If you want to have a snack occasionally, the salary is enough to support you."

"Medical resources are getting better and better. Almost all medical treatment and medicine are free. We don't have to worry about getting sick."

"The other thing is education. With the establishment of Fuxing No. 2 Primary School last year, my son's education problem has been solved!"

Having said that, Lin Lu couldn't help but touch her son Lin Ziyu's little head lovingly.

"So, I am very satisfied with everything now. If nothing changes, the current situation is the best!"

As a woman, her greatest need is to have a stable living environment.

Excluding the free medical care provided due to special circumstances, the current living conditions in the settlements are certainly not as good as those before the end of the world.

But as a woman who fled from the district below the night market with her son, and who had briefly experienced the cruelty of the end of the world, she knew too well how precious stability was.

As the saying goes, it is better to be a dog in peacetime than a man in troubled times.

Only those who have experienced chaos understand that stability is never what is supposed to happen.

Looking back at the thousands of years of history of the Zhou Dynasty, how many years were truly stable? With so many countries in the world, how many are stable?

Not to mention the end of the world now, when being alive becomes a luxury, stability becomes a dream!

To this day, when Lin Lu occasionally wakes up from a nightmare, she always feels like she is dreaming when she feels the warm and comfortable bed, looks at the white ceiling, and smells the air without the smell of blood.

I actually crawled out of hell and came to the world with my son!

So now she is really satisfied with everything in the gathering place!

I don’t even ask for life to get better and better, I’ll be satisfied as long as I can maintain this level and not go back!

"My son is healthy and free from diseases, and the leader lives a long life" is her most greedy wish for life.

Seeing the genuine satisfaction on Lin Lu's face, which did not seem fake, Gu Chengyuan nodded slightly, and a sense of accomplishment rose in his heart.

"To turn the tide and support the building when it is about to collapse" can be said to be the highest romance of Zhou men from ancient times to the present.

Although he is still far from this goal, Lin Lu's emotional feedback makes him feel that every step he takes is solid.

Just when Gu Chengyuan wanted to say something else, Zhou Guihong suddenly came over and reminded him in a low voice.

"Chief, time is almost up..."

"Ok!"

Hearing that the time was almost up, Gu Chengyuan could only give up the idea of ​​chatting for a few more minutes and instead said goodbye:

"I feel relieved to hear that you are all doing well. I am usually too busy to take a walk like today, so I always feel uneasy."

"I want to thank you. Thank you for clearing up my confusion and making sure that I was doing the right thing."

"No, no, Chief, I just said what I really feel in my heart..." Lin Lu was a little flattered by the sudden thanks from the chief in front of her.

Hearing Lin Lu's modesty, Gu Chengyuan raised his hand and continued, "I have activities later, so I won't be able to chat with you for long. Finally, I wish you happiness in life and continuous improvement of your skills at work!"

"Finally, there's you, little friend. You must study hard and listen to your mother!"

At this point, Gu Chengyuan couldn't help but pinch the boy's cheek, and said with expectation in his tone:

"I hope that one day in the future, you can stand in front of me as a real soldier!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Chengyuan turned around and left under the protection of a group of plainclothes guards, joining the crowd.

"Sister Lu, am I dreaming? We really had a long chat with Chief Gu just now?"

After Gu Chengyuan left, it took Xu Chuxia a long time to come back to her senses, and her expression was as if she had just had a dream.

"Xia Xia, we are not dreaming, we really met Chief Gu!"

After saying that, Lin Lu excitedly picked up her son in front of her and kissed him hard on the face several times.

"Son, did you hear me? Commander Gu told you to study hard and become a real soldier in the future!"

"I heard it, mom. I will definitely become a soldier in the future and protect Commander Gu and you!"

...

A few streets away, at the entrance of the Xinchun Park, a large number of survivors were coming and going, forming a huge crowd.

And among these people stood a group of leaders of the gathering place management committee headed by Long Qijiang.

Long Qijiang was wearing a navy blue executive jacket, paired with trousers and leather shoes. Even though he still had a bald head, he didn't look like the gangster he once was.

"Who would have thought that a guy like me who has been hanging around on the streets for decades and is considered a social outcast would one day be able to reach this level?"

Long Qijiang felt the respectful and awed gazes of the survivors passing by, and thought with some pride.

He is in charge of a gathering place of nearly 50 people. Before the end of the world, he must have been a mayor of a county-level city, right?

Absolutely right!

In the past, I would have to bow and scrape to any policeman, let alone a proper one...

"It's a pity that my parents died early and didn't have the chance to see me like this... Your son, who was as useless as mud, was eventually helped to climb the wall!" Thinking of this, Long Qijiang couldn't help but feel sad again.

"Leader, the guards at the city gate report that the chief's convoy has arrived and is heading our way. It is expected to arrive in about ten minutes!" The secretary at the side interrupted Long Qijiang's emotional sigh.

"Okay, I understand!" After saying that, Long Qijiang quickly straightened his clothes.

"Have all departments confirm it again and check it carefully to ensure that there are no omissions, especially safety issues!"

"We must cooperate well with the security personnel who have moved in early. Other things can be handled properly, but security issues must not go wrong!" Long Qijiang emphasized in a serious tone.

Event planning can have flaws, which are not a big deal, but once the safety of the leader is at risk, no one can save him.

"Yes! Leader, I'll emphasize it again!"

"I'll go check it out again!"

..

Obviously, none of the leaders present were stupid, and they all understood what the focus of today was, so everyone's attitude was very correct.

...

As time passed, suddenly, on another street about a few hundred meters away, there was a sound of a crowd of people.

"Chief! It's Chief Gu's motorcade!!"

"It's Commander Gu! Commander Gu is here to see us!!"

"Is Commander Gu here to celebrate the New Year with us??!"

"Commander Gu!! Commander Gu!!!"

...
