After sending Xia Jinhe back to school, Lu Yiwei said reluctantly, "Jinhe, I'm going back to Nanyang. I still have a lot of work to do. If I'm not busy with work, I'll try to come and accompany you every night."
Xia Jinhe stroked Lu Yiwei's cheek through the window. Her face was full of emotions. Every time they parted, she had a different feeling. She forced a smile and said, "Go ahead. Work is more important. If you're late, don't come over. I'm afraid it's not safe for you to drive at night. Just keep me in your heart."
Lu Yiwei smiled and said, "Is it time to treat Yao Na to dinner?"
"Haha." Xia Jinhe smiled and said, "Okay, we'll treat her and her husband to a big meal some other day."
"By the way." Lu Yiwei said, "A friend of mine opened a new western restaurant in Jiangdong. It's going to open in two days. He invited us to join him. Do you want to go with us?"
"Okay, you decide the time." Xia Jinhe said, "School is about to start. I'll be busy in the next few days."
Lu Yiwei thought of Chuchu again and said, "If you're not busy, you can go to the County Magistrate Zhang's house and see what's going on. Call me if anything happens."
Despite her reluctance, the car still started. Lu Yiwei looked at Xia Jinhe, who was standing on her tiptoes and waving, through the rearview mirror. The car gradually drove away until it disappeared into the sky. Lu Yiwei's dazed eyes returned to the front. He turned on the radio and turned the volume to the highest. His body swayed to the rhythm of the music, unable to hide the excitement in his heart.
Back in Nanyang County, Lu Yiwei went straight home. He wanted to share the good news with his family as soon as possible.
His mother, Liu Cuilan, was busy arranging the grapevines in the yard. When she saw her son coming back, her expression suddenly changed. She said unhappily, "Yiwei, what are you busy with all day? No matter how busy you are, you have to go home. Look at you, how many times have you been home this year? I can count with my fingers. Let me tell you, in the future, if you … what is this? "
Just as his mother was nagging, Lu Yiwei took out the marriage certificate from his pocket as if he was performing a magic trick. He mischievously dangled it in front of his mother and laughed, "I'm not telling you."
Liu Cuilan and Lu Weiguo had an arranged marriage. They got married after meeting each other once. They had never gotten a marriage certificate. They had lived like this for the rest of their lives and had never seen what a marriage certificate looked like. Seeing the happy smile on her son's face, she already had a hunch. She stopped what she was doing and asked Lu Yiwei, "What is it? Let Mom take a look! "
"I won't give it to you, I won't give it to you!" With that, he ran into the house like a naive child.
Liu Cuilan's family education was relatively lax. She rarely showed the dignity of a parent to her children. On the contrary, they often played together, and the family seemed harmonious and happy. They were all children, and as parents, they would definitely treat them the same. However, everyone had a saying in their hearts, and they would always give their love and care to a particular child. Take Lu Yiwei's family for example. Liu Cuilan liked Lu Yiwei more, while his father, Lu Weiguo, liked his daughter, Lu Ling more.
Liu Cuilan would secretly wipe her tears when she was alone with Lu Yiwei's experience. She felt that it was all because of her. A mother's love was selfless. No matter when or how old she was, she would never stop worrying about her child.
"Yiwei, let Mom take a look at it. What is it?" Liu Cuilan chased after him into the house.
Lu Yiwei handed the marriage certificate to his mother and said, "Mom, let me tell you a piece of good news. Jinhe and I have gotten our marriage certificate. That also means that from now on, we are officially husband and wife!"
"What? Really? "Liu Cuilan staggered as her body trembled from excitement. She hurriedly sat on the sofa and squinted at the marriage certificate.
"Quick, get Mom my reading glasses." Liu Cuilan's eyes were blurred, and she couldn't see a single word clearly.
After putting on the glasses, Liu Cuilan finally saw the wedding photo of Lu Yiwei and Xia Jinhe. The more she looked, the more excited she became. In the end, she covered her mouth and burst into tears. She kept saying, "Good, good, my son is married, good …"
"Mom! What are you doing? Why are you crying? "Lu Yiwei pulled out a tissue from the coffee table and stuffed it into his mother's hands.
"Mom, he's happy!" Then he asked with some distrust, "Is this considered a marriage?"
"What else do you want?"
Liu Cuilan still couldn't believe it was real. She got up and moved to the window. Under the sunlight, she looked at it again carefully like an archeologist. Tears streamed down her face.
"Let's go, son!" Liu Cuilan suddenly said impatiently, "Drive me back to my hometown. I want to tell your father the good news."
Since the beginning of the year, Old Master Lu moved back to his hometown. In the city, everything seemed to be not free for him. He used to work in the fields, but in the city, he ate and slept every day. He didn't even have someone to talk to. His life was really suffocating. Therefore, he used the excuse of going home to farm and went back to his hometown.
Seeing that his mother was so anxious, Lu Yiwei immediately told her about Chu Chu.
After listening, Liu Cuilan's eyes showed sympathy. She said without thinking, "That's too poor. Then bring the child over. I'll go back and cook for your father for a few days. It's going to be autumn soon. I'm afraid he won't eat well. Anyway, you won't go home, and it's boring for me to stay alone. But she is a girl from the city. I'm afraid I can't treat her well. "
Hearing that his mother was so straightforward, Lu Yiwei hugged his mother tightly and said, "Mom, I knew you would agree. As long as Chu Chu is willing to come, I believe she will slowly adapt. "
"By the way!" Liu Cuilan suddenly said, "Do you still remember your uncle Wang?"
"Uncle Wang? The one who herds sheep in our village? "
"Yes, yes, yes, that's him."
"What's wrong?"
Liu Cuilan said, "I remember that his son had this disease a few years ago. Didn't he treat it later?"
Lu Yiwei was puzzled. "Isn't his son dead? Furthermore, his son doesn't have psoriasis. It seems to be leprosy. "
Liu Cuilan said, "Isn't leprosy also a skin disease? The reason is the same. Why don't you let him treat it?"
"Mom, save it." Lu Yiwei found it a little funny. "Leprosy and psoriasis are two different concepts. Don't aggravate his condition and delay his treatment. You don't have to worry about this matter."
"Forget it. We'll talk about it later. Send me back to my hometown now. Hurry up. I can go back and pack up!" Liu Cuilan's thoughts returned to her son's marriage.
Lu Yiwei said embarrassedly, "Mom, I have to go to work later. Why don't I send you back after lunch?"
"I can't wait." Liu Cuilan took off her scarf and said, "I will take the bus back now. Don't worry about me." She shoved the marriage certificate into her pocket and ran out.
Looking at his mother's' cute 'silhouette, Lu Yiwei helplessly shook his head.
After settling his matters, Lu Yiwei locked the door and rushed to the County party committee's courtyard.
When he reached the second floor, Lu Yiwei could sense the tense atmosphere. There wasn't a single person in the corridor, and all the doors were closed. If it was during normal times, all the departments would be busy. In order not to rashly bump into the muzzle, Lu Yiwei first went to Government Office Director Li Jianwei's office.
As soon as he entered, Li Jianwei quickly got up and opened the door. He stuck his head out and locked the door. He then pulled Lu Yiwei into the bedroom and whispered, "You're finally back. This morning, Mayor Su and County Zhang got into a fight in the office."
"Ah?" Lu Yiwei was shocked. "There's such a thing? What's the reason? "
Li Jianwei cautiously looked at the door and said, "I'm not too sure about the details, but I heard that it's because of the compensation for the land expropriation in Shiwan Village. Also, Ma Linhui got into trouble in Erbao Coal Mine. Mayor Su blamed County Zhang for not reporting it to him, causing him to be in a passive position. "
"Oh." Lu Yiwei was a little absent-minded and nodded his head.
Li Jianwei pulled Lu Yiwei's hand and said, "Yiwei, tell me the truth. I heard that Ma Linhui's matter caused a huge commotion, and even Li Jianwei was involved. Is it true?"
Only Zhang Zhiyuan, Bai Yuxin, and Lu Yiwei knew about the Erbao Coal Mine operation. Of course, Lu Yiwei couldn't leak the secret. He pretended to be surprised and said, "Really?"
Li Jianwei saw Lu Yiwei's expression and pointed at him. "Pretend, pretend, pretend! Yiwei, why didn't you tell me about our relationship? You're not a brother. "
Lu Yiwei pretended to be in pain and said, "Brother, I really don't know about this. Moreover, it involves the city's leader, so I don't know about it. Yes, I'm always with County Zhang, but I don't know about important decisions. "
Li Jianwei knew he couldn't get anything from Lu Yiwei, so he said, "Forget it. I'm not the only one who knows about this. The whole Nanyang County is talking about it. Some people said that Ma Linhui offended Hou Yongzhi, the secretary of the City's Political and Legal Committee, and was looking for trouble to arrest him. I didn't expect Ma Linhui to still have a trick up his sleeve, and got someone to knock Secretary Hou into a vegetative state. Also, some people said that on the night Ma Linhui was arrested, the leaders of the city's People's Congress were there, and so were the triads. Even our Shiwan Village Police Station was there. Damn! It's so lively! I guess Mayor Su is angry with County Zhang because of this. "
Paper can't contain fire. Any rustle of grass in the officialdom would cause the subordinates to recklessly speculate. Based on the current situation, the rumors were 80 to 90 percent true. It seemed like it was impossible to keep a secret in the current era of information technology.
Lu Yiwei said, "Director Li, I heard that Ma Linhui was arrested for carrying a gun. This has nothing to do with Secretary Hou's car accident, and it has nothing to do with offending him."
Li Jianwei also felt that he had said too much. After all, Lu Yiwei was someone close to Zhang Zhiyuan. He quickly said, "Alright, let's not meddle in other people's business. Oh, there's one more thing. I'm not sure if you've heard? This morning, Guo Kaisheng, the mine manager of Shangyuan's Beihe Village Coal Mine, brought a bunch of people to the industrial park and beat up Niu Fuyong. County Head Bai is currently handling the matter in Beihe Town. "
"What? Really? "Lu Yiwei was shocked again. Niu Fuyong had not called him when something like this happened.
