After Xiao Yu and Xiao Chu got in the car, they woke up her sleeping brother, and the three of them made a mess in the back. Lu Yiwei saw this scene through the rearview mirror, and he was very pleased.
Career and family might be everything in a person's life, and the most perfect thing was a smooth career and a happy family. Lu Yiwei was the happiest at this stage. His parents were alive and healthy, and his son and daughter were both happy. He was not short of money, and his career was not bad. Sometimes when he thought about it, God had given him all the blessings, and there was nothing to be dissatisfied about.
Fan Chunfang rarely saw Lu Yiwei so happy. She observed the changes in his expression along the way, and laughed with the child from time to time, not forgetting to interact with him. How she hoped that this beautiful moment could continue, and even wanted him to quit his job and live happily every day, but was it possible?
"Dad, I got the first prize in the dance competition held by the school two days ago, and Sister Chu got the second prize. In fact, we were tied for first place, hehe."
Lu Yiwei smiled and glanced back, "Is that so? That's great."
Xiao Yu pouted her cute little mouth and nodded, "Our dance teacher said that this Christmas, I will represent the school to participate in the competition at the UK headquarters. Do you support me?"
"Of course, your mom will go with you."
"Aren't you going?"
"I … I'll see."
Xiao Yu was a little unhappy and sat there dejectedly.
Lu Yiwei saw that his daughter did not speak, and quickly said, "Xiao Yu, actually Dad wants to go too. I have never been to the UK in my life. But Dad has a job … "
Fan Chunfang interrupted, "Don't you know how to apply for leave? It's not easy for Xiao Yu to go abroad, you should spend more time with her."
Little Chu joined in the fun, "That's right, you and my dad are the same, always saying that you are busy. I don't know what you are busy with. Are you researching and exploring the universe, or are you inventing something useful for mankind? What's so fun about all of you? "
Little Chu was three or four years older than Xiao Yu, so he spoke more maturely. Lu Yiwei didn't know how to continue, so he braced himself and said, "Xiao Yu, how about this? Dad promises you that if I can get a day off, I will definitely accompany you. If I'm busy with work, then let your mom go first, but I will definitely go, okay?"
"Really? That's great. I'll tell my mother about this as soon as I get back."
The ignorant Lang Lang also opened his mouth and muttered, "I want to go too."
His words amused everyone, and their laughter echoed in the car all the way home.
Along the way, Lu Yiwei's phone kept ringing, and he couldn't answer it. Most of them were his former leaders, subordinates, and friends. They were eagerly waiting for him to return home. In the past, he had always returned quietly and left quietly, rarely alerting others. But it was different this time. Everyone knew that his daughter was celebrating her birthday. She would definitely come back for such an important day.
Thinking back to the past, who could look up to him? Now, no matter what their relationship was like in the past, everyone was throwing themselves at him. Everyone had the same problem, and they wanted to rely on him to get out of it. Even if there was no political motive, he hoped to maintain this relationship for future use.
When Fan Chunfang saw that he called directly, he asked him to get out of the car and drive himself.
According to the local custom, the night before the birthday, the family and friends should be invited to a banquet. He was supposed to handle this, but Li Dengke had made the first impression, so he couldn't object. It didn't matter who did it. He had already told Li Haidong to handle it. After the banquet, he would give him a sum of money as a token of appreciation.
As there was no highway from Jiangdong to Nanyang, they could only take the national highway. By the time they got back, it was already past seven in the evening. The banquet was about to start. Lu Yiwei didn't have time to go home and went straight to Li Dengke's house.
Li Dengke attached great importance to his granddaughter's birthday. He decorated the place with lanterns and lanterns. When the car stopped at the entrance, "Brother-in-law" Li Qiankun recognized him at a glance. He immediately ran over and bowed politely. "Brother-in-law, you're back."
Lu Yiwei didn't argue with this form of address. After all, he and Li Shu-man were husband and wife, so it didn't matter what he was called. He smiled and nodded. "Where's your sister?"
Li Qiankun quickly said, "She's inside greeting them. Secretary Xiao is here too. He's waiting for you."
Hearing that Xiao Zhiliang was here, Lu Yiwei didn't dare to be slow. He didn't care about his daughter, straightened his clothes, and walked in quickly. Lifting the curtain, he saw a room full of people. Xiao Zhiliang and Li Dengke were sitting on the sofa, talking and laughing. As soon as he appeared, the others immediately stood up and greeted him. Xiao Zhiliang also stood up, extended his hand, and smiled. "You hid it well, kid. If I hadn't heard from Qing Kingdom, I wouldn't have known."
Lu Yiwei replied, "This is a small matter. I didn't think it was necessary to disturb you. You're too kind."
"What do you mean a small matter? This is a good thing. Haha, sit."
The sofa wasn't big, and it could accommodate three people. However, with Lu Yiwei back, Li Dengke voluntarily moved to the side.
After sitting down, Lu Yiwei looked around. He was very happy to see familiar faces, and he could accurately call out everyone's name. However, many of them were no longer in their old positions, and had moved to new ones. He wasn't a high-ranking official, and seeing everyone treat him with such respect, he felt a sense of accomplishment.
As they were chatting, someone came in. Lu Yiwei recognized him at a glance. It was Wei Guoqiang, the former secretary of Beihe Town's Party Committee. Due to the problems at Beihe High School, he had retired. Now, his hair was white, and he was fat. He didn't care about his appearance, and he looked no different from an ordinary person.
Regardless of how he had treated him in the past, for him to come personally today to congratulate him, he must have made a great decision. Lu Yiwei didn't care about the past. He stood up and shook his hand. "Secretary Wei, you're here too."
Wei Guoqiang couldn't believe it, and he stood there in a daze. Someone pushed him, and he quickly shook his hand and said emotionally, "Yiwei, I heard it's your daughter's birthday. I'm here to congratulate you."
"Thank you, thank you. Come and sit."
Lu Yiwei pulled him to sit beside him. Wei Guoqiang didn't know which sensitive nerve had been touched, but tears streamed down his old face. Li Dengke comforted him. "Old Wei, why are you crying on a happy day? Secretary Xiao is here too. Don't make a fool of yourself."
Wei Guoqiang wiped away his tears and said excitedly, "I'm just happy, haha."
"Yes, you should be happy."
