Fan Chunfang carefully came in with a cup of tea and gently put it down. She stood behind him and massaged his shoulders. Her eyes were full of doting as she deliberately eased the atmosphere. "Great Secretary Lu, you have worked hard during this period."
Even if Lu Yiwei felt uncomfortable, he would not lose his temper with his wife. Since they got married, there was almost no quarrel. He turned back and smiled. "It should be you who has worked hard, managing the house and taking care of the child."
Hearing this, Fan Chunfang was very happy. She hugged her neck tightly and whispered. "With you and the child around, I don't have to work hard. You promised me to go to Sanya for Chinese New Year in the summer, but it seems like it's not going to happen again. Sigh! "
Lu Yiwei touched his cheek and said. "Sorry, I just took office this year, so I definitely don't dare to leave. How about next year, I will definitely bring you there, okay? "
"Forget it. I have said this many times, but it has never come true."
Fan Chunfang sat on the bed and looked at him. She said with heartache. "You have lost weight."
"Really? Why don't I feel so?"
"I can't eat well there. Why don't I just resign and go over to cook for you?"
"Don't be silly. What will happen to Lang Lang if you leave? Just focus on work. Maybe he will be transferred back in two years. "
"Well, I heard from Dad that you are going to be transferred back next year."
"Dad is back?"
"No, he came back the night before yesterday. He stayed for less than an hour and left after seeing Lang Lang."
"Oh, he said nothing?"
Fan Chunfang shook her head.
Officials rarely mentioned work when they returned home. On one hand, they did not want to worry their family, and on the other hand, some things should not be talked about. Regardless of whether he was on good terms with Fan Rongkui, he was still his family. Lu Yiwei was very concerned about his future and did not know if he was involved in this adjustment.
As they chatted, the doorbell rang. Fan Chunfang immediately got up and said. "Maybe Dad is back. I will go open the door."
Lu Yiwei immediately got up and pricked up his ears to listen carefully.
As the door opened, a voice came. "Director Fan, you are at home. I am sorry to disturb you so late."
"You are?"
Hearing that it was a stranger, Lu Yiwei listened carefully. The voice was so familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it before. Then he opened the door and walked out. It was Li Gang, the Party Committee Secretary of Hongqi Village.
Li Gang was carrying something in his hand. He nodded and bowed with a fake smile. "Secretary Lu, you're home too."
Lu Yiwei understood and said with a gloomy face, "Secretary Li, why are you here so late at night?"
Li Gang stood there awkwardly, smiling without saying a word.
Fan Chunfang seemed to understand something and hurriedly said, "Come in quickly, don't stand at the door talking."
Li Gang squinted at Lu Yiwei, asking for his opinion. Seeing the latter's expressionless face, Li Gang bowed and carefully walked in. He placed the things on the cabinet, rubbed his hands together awkwardly, and said, "Secretary Lu, Director Fan, it's getting late. I won't be going in. I'll be leaving first." With that said, he turned around to leave.
"Wait!"
Li Gang hurriedly stopped, turned around, and squeezed out a smile.
Lu Yiwei was not disgusted by his visit in the middle of the night, but he was angry that they knew his whereabouts like the back of their hand, and even knew where he lived. How did they know, and how did they sneak in?
After staring at him for a few seconds, Lu Yiwei retracted his cold gaze and said, "Come in."
Receiving an order that sounded like an imperial edict, Li Gang hurriedly came in with a smile, changed into slippers, and followed into the study. Fan Chunfang knew that they had something to discuss, so he made a cup of tea for Li Gang, closed the door, and left.
Li Gang was obviously nervous, wearing a bulky down jacket, his forehead was sweating, and his hands were in a mess. He stared at the County party committee secretary, who was more than ten years older than him, with a complicated expression.
Lu Yiwei picked up the cigarette on the table and passed it to Li Gang. Li Gang hurriedly stood up and took it, took out a lighter, and lit it with both hands. He did not dare to smoke, so he put the cigarette on the table.
Lu Yiwei saw that Li Gang was sweating, and said, "Take off your clothes if it's hot."
"Ah!"
Li Gang took off his jacket, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and gathered his emotions, "Secretary Lu, I really shouldn't have bothered you so late, but there are some things that I can't let go of, so I came to do a deep examination."
The table lamp emitted a faint light, and on Lu Yiwei's face, it reflected a maturity and seriousness that did not match his age. After a long time, he said, "Did you receive the notice last night?"
Li Gang nodded in shame.
"Then why didn't you take action?"
Li Gang was fat and weak, plus the room was hot, his forehead was sweating, and his cheeks were flowing down. He lowered his head and said, "I thought that it would be fine to finish the task today, but I didn't expect …"
Lu Yiwei said with a straight face, "What were you doing last night?"
Li Gang shivered, and did not respond.
Lu Yiwei did not discuss the matter, and changed the topic, "Why is Red Flag Village called Red Flag Village? Can you explain?"
Li Gang raised his head, and said, "Red Flag Village was originally Valley Village. Back then, a brigade of Japanese soldiers carrying guns, ammunition, and military supplies passed by Long 'an. After receiving the intelligence, the guerrillas behind the enemy lines attacked overnight, and engaged in a head-on battle in Valley Village. After three days and three nights of bitter battle, they finally won, and won more time for the main battlefield. This battle was named the Valley Battle, and it was fully recognized by the Northwest Revolutionary Military Committee and the Central Committee. It was also published in the People's Daily, and it was personally approved by Premier Zhou, saying that Long 'an is a flag of the Red Revolution. In commemoration of this battle, it was renamed Red Flag Village after liberation in 1948. "
It seemed that Li Gang had a certain level of literacy. Lu Yiwei slightly calmed down, and said, "Since Red Flag Village has such a deep red culture, why do outsiders know so little about it?"
Li Gang sighed, "I also want to raise the red flag of Red Flag Village, but the previous leaders did not pay attention to this work, and I can't do anything about it."
"How long have you been in Red Flag Village?"
"12 years."
"Promoted on the spot?"
"Yes, I worked as a land manager for 10 years, and was promoted to deputy village head at the end of 1995. I have not left Red Flag Village since then."
Using 12 years to go from deputy village head to Party Secretary was not considered slow, and it showed that Li Gang's ability was not bad. On the way back, Lu Yiwei already had the idea of transferring him, and Li Gang also felt that the situation was not good, so he quickly came to admit his mistake.
After a moment of silence, Lu Yiwei said, "Okay, I got it. Go back. It's New Year soon, make sure the safety is stable, and nothing must happen. "
Seeing that Lu Yiwei asked him to leave, Li Gang immediately got up, picked up his coat, and said, "Secretary Lu, rest early, I will go back first."
Lu Yiwei sent him to the door, pointed at something, and said, "Take this away."
"This is for the child, a small token of my appreciation."
Lu Yiwei picked up the thing and stuffed it into his hand, and said, "Put more effort into your work, don't let your imagination run wild and play tricks." After that, he closed the door.
