That night, Lu Yiwei won himself some dignity. He let go of everything and drank until he passed out. He didn't know how much he drank or how he got home, but today was the happiest day he had in years. He reminisced about the past with Uncle Lao in Dongwa Village, talked about the past with Wu Shixun in Heishan County, talked about the present with his colleagues in the high-tech zone, talked about his hometown with old leaders who came to support him … From this hotel to that hotel, from the past to the present, he used his memories to record every bit of his journey.
That night, Lu Yiwei gave his family a lot of prestige. The hotel was full of friends and the atmosphere was high. His parents sat in the middle, flanked by their grandchildren and their granddaughter, who had just turned one year old. Everyone came up to toast, grinning from ear to ear. Fan Rongkui had no relationship with Xiao Yu, but even so, he represented the Fan family and toasted them one by one. Li Dengke's face was beaming with joy, and he was very pleased with himself. As long as someone toasted him, he would not refuse.
That night, Lu Yiwei brought popularity to his hometown. The appearance of Guo Jinzhu, Xu Shousong, and the others was unprecedented and one of a kind. It was a family banquet, and they didn't plan to make it so big. They all came on their own, which caused a sensation in Nanyang City. Some people who didn't know each other came to join in the fun, full of envy.
Lu Yiwei didn't wake up until noon the next day. He opened his eyes and looked around. After confirming that he was at home, he felt very at ease. He sat up and rubbed his swollen head. When he got up to go to the toilet, he remembered that the toilet was in the yard downstairs. He put on his clothes and staggered downstairs. His mother, who was sitting on the sofa, saw him and sat up. She said worriedly, "Yiwei, are you okay?"
Lu Yiwei waved his hand weakly and looked around. "Where's dad?"
"Oh, they went to Shu Man's house. Today is Xiao Yu's birthday. I was worried about you, so I didn't go. "
A mother's love was selfless. No matter how old he was, he was still a child in her eyes. Lu Yiwei smiled happily and said, "Mom, I want to eat your dumplings."
Liu Cuilan hesitated and said, "Your dad said that the family will have a gathering at noon and asked you to go to the hotel with him."
"I'm not going. I'll stay at home to accompany you."
Liu Cuilan looked at her son and smiled brightly. She threw away the needlework in her hand and said, "Okay, Mom will go buy some vegetables and make dumplings for you."
After returning from the toilet, Lu Yiwei lay on the sofa with his eyes closed. He drank too much last night and was still dizzy. He suddenly thought of something, sat up, found his phone, and called Zhang Zhiyuan.
"Yiwei, you're awake?"
Lu Yiwei hurriedly said, "Yes, I just woke up. Where are you? I'll go over now."
Zhang Zhiyuan smiled and said, "No need. Have a good rest. We came back last night."
"Oh."
Lu Yiwei said apologetically, "I prepared in a hurry last night. Maybe I didn't take good care of you. Please forgive me."
"We're family. Don't be so polite. We're all family."
Lu Yiwei smiled and said, "Last night really surprised me. I didn't expect Secretary Bai and Secretary Guo to come. I didn't say anything wrong, did I?"
"No, it's good. Secretary Guo learned that it's your daughter's birthday and came without hesitation. Secretary Xu Caimao was going to come too, but he couldn't because of special circumstances. "
Lu Yiwei still couldn't believe it. He was touched and said, "I really don't know how to thank you …"
"Okay, they're all former leaders. They think you're good, so they came to support you. Otherwise, how could you invite them? Maintain your hard-won political connections. No matter what position you go to in the future, these people will be your strong support. "
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yiwei was still reminiscing about the grand scene last night. He was filled with emotions and couldn't calm down. Everything he achieved today, other than his own efforts, had something to do with Zhang Zhiyuan. He generously shared his resources with him so that he could have the opportunity to meet these big shots.
Meeting a benefactor was a lifelong benefit.
Fan Chunfang came back with Lang Lang, who was sleeping soundly. She saw him when she entered the door and said with concern, "You're awake? Are you feeling better? "
Lu Yiwei got up and took the child from her. He kissed his cheek a few times and carried him back to the bedroom. He put down the quilt and closed the door. He walked out carefully and said, "Has the banquet started?"
Fan Chunfang didn't seem to care about the banquet. She was more concerned about her man. She said worriedly, "Yes, it's just started. You must be hungry. You vomited last night and only felt better this morning. "
Seeing Fan Chunfang's haggard face, he understood everything and said, "You didn't sleep well last night, right?"
Fan Chunfang saw what she wanted from his eyes. She pursed her lips and said, "It's okay. As long as you and Mom and Dad are happy."
As she spoke, Lu Yiwei took her hand and pulled her into his arms. Fan Chunfang blushed like a young girl in love. Her heart was beating fast. She didn't dare to look at his eyes and murmured, "It's broad daylight. What are you doing?"
Lu Yiwei hugged her tightly and murmured in her ear, "Chunfang, thank you."
Fan Chunfang raised her head and looked into his eyes. Tears instantly welled up in her eyes. She hadn't felt this way for a long time. It was as if the Lu Yiwei from back then had returned.
Lu Yiwei wiped away her tears and said, "Why are you crying?"
Fan Chunfang shook her head desperately and said, "I'm not crying. I'm happy." After saying that, she hugged the man she loved and hated tightly. She punched his back and sobbed, "Yiwei, I beg you, don't leave me …"
"Fool, what are you talking about? How can I leave you?"
Fan Chunfang suddenly let go and took his hand and went upstairs. After going upstairs and closing the door, she threw Lu Yiwei on the bed and went crazy.
When Liu Cuilan came back, she didn't see her son. She thought he went upstairs to sleep. She put down the dishes and went upstairs. When she turned the corner of the stairs, she heard an indescribable sound. She shook her head helplessly and tiptoed upstairs.
At this time, Lu Ling rushed in. He yelled as he entered the door, "Mom, where's my brother? He's waiting for him to start a meal."
"Shh! Why are you shouting so loudly? "
Lu Ling looked at her mother in confusion. She pointed upstairs and whispered,
Is my brother still sleeping? "
Liu Cuilan said embarrassedly, "Yes. Don't disturb him."
"I'll call him."
After saying that, she rushed upstairs. Liu Cuilan quickly stopped her and said anxiously, "Why are you going up? Come down."
Lu Ling said doubtfully, "He's my brother. Can't I go in?"
Liu Cuilan was even more embarrassed. She said impatiently, "Anyway, don't go up. You're a mother. Don't be rash. You don't know anything."
Lu Ling seemed to understand something. She lowered her voice and said, "Sister-in-law is also upstairs?"
Liu Cuilan smiled. Lu Ling ran upstairs at lightning speed. She was so anxious that she kept stamping her feet, but she didn't dare to shout. After a while, Lu Ling came down with her hand covering her mouth. She went into the kitchen and laughed, "Mom, my brother and sister-in-law are so energetic. It's broad daylight. Haha …"
"Lower your voice, shut up!"
