After returning from Beizhou City, Lu Yiwei fell seriously ill. The mental torture was far more painful than the physical torture. In just a few days, Lu Yiwei had lost a lot of weight. His mother, Liu Cuilan, was distressed but didn't know how to comfort him. She could only secretly wipe her tears.
One day, Lu Yiwei struggled to get up from the bed. He opened the curtains that hadn't been opened for a long time. A warm ray of sunlight shone in and shone on his face, greedily sucking in the haze and trying to drive away the disease.
Lu Yiwei sat in front of the window, closed his eyes, and enjoyed the long-lost warmth. Xiao Rou's halo under the reflection of the glass had a trace of laziness. It greedily poured into his arms and slowly melted his heart. While smiling, it flew thousands of miles away and flowed through all living things on earth, telling the touching story of the moment when time turned.
In front of the window, there were still photos of Lu Yiwei and Xia Jinhe. These were the few photos of the two of them. Due to long-term exposure to the sun, the photos had turned a little yellow, adding the precipitation of time and the verdant memory. Lu Yiwei carefully picked up the photos and wiped the dust with his sleeves. He stared at the photos, and a smile jumped on his face, but soon disappeared without a trace.
This photo was taken at the opening ceremony of the Summer Festival in Tiantong Mountain Scenic Area this summer. Xia Jinhe was still in her performance costume, with heavy makeup and a bright smile. She snuggled in Lu Yiwei's arms and smiled sweetly. Lu Yiwei was wearing a formal suit and looked particularly serious. He put one hand on Xia Jinhe's shoulder and showed a strange smile on his face. After the photos were developed, Lu Yiwei saw his silly look and insisted on destroying them. However, Xia Jinhe felt that he was a little more cute and kept them.
People only know the beauty of the past when they lose it. Lu Yiwei looked at the photos, and the scenes of the past appeared clearly in his mind like a movie. He admitted that Xia Jinhe was not the woman he liked the most, but she opened his heart, awakened his dusty memories, and found the taste and romance of love. However, it all ended like this. They were caught unprepared and heartbroken.
Over the past few days, Lu Yiwei had made countless phone calls and sent countless text messages, but all of them were like stones sinking into the ocean, with no reply. Xia Jinhe completely disappeared from his world. A sorrowful song lingered in the winter sky. Even the most moving notes could not awaken the lost melancholy. Birds lingered in the sky, and from time to time, a few hysterical cries could be heard.
Lu Yiwei put the photo into the drawer and closed it little by little. The moment he closed it, he heard Xia Jinhe's shout, saw her running figure, and smelled her intoxicating fragrance. Gradually, she disappeared into the endless rape field …
His father, Lu Weiguo, was standing behind him. Lu Yiwei turned around and smiled bitterly. He said weakly, "Dad, you are here!"
Lu Weiguo did not say anything. He walked to the window and pulled the curtains open. He moved a chair and sat in front of Lu Yiwei. He took out a cigarette and handed it to Lu Yiwei. He said in a low voice, "Don't keep it to yourself. Tell me."
Lu Yiwei's eyes became moist when someone suddenly cared about him. He lowered his head and shook it. "It's nothing."
"Did He Jinhe divorce?" Lu Weiguo suddenly asked.
Lu Yiwei suddenly raised his head and asked in surprise, "How did you know?"
Lu Weiguo did not say anything. He smoked a cigarette and said, "That night, I saw Jinhe looking for the marriage certificate in the room."
Lu Yiwei stood up and reprimanded, "Then why didn't you stop her?"
Lu Weiguo pressed the emotional Lu Yiwei to the bed and said, "Yiwei, since Jinhe made such a decision, you will not stop her no matter what. I didn't think too much at that time. I thought she wanted to keep the marriage certificate. I didn't expect her to take this step. Forget it. She doesn't belong to you. She will never be yours. "
"No!" Lu Yiwei roared crazily, "Jinhe didn't leave. She just went out to relax. She will be back soon. She promised me that we will grow old together … "
"Yiwei!" Lu Weiguo roared with all his strength. "Wake up. She has left. She will never come back."
Lu Yiwei sat in front of the window and gritted his teeth to stop his tears from flowing. At this moment, his mother, Liu Cuilan, who was eavesdropping outside the door, could not help but cover her face and sob. As a mother, she was more distressed than anyone else.
Lu Weiguo said, "Yiwei, I don't remember you being so sad when you were demoted to Beihe Town. What's wrong with you? Is it worth it for a woman? Even if Xia Jinhe doesn't leave, you can keep her body, but you can't keep her heart. "
Lu Yiwei's psychological defense finally collapsed. He knelt in front of his father and said, "Dad, why is your son's life so bitter? Why is the heavens always against me? Even an iron man would not be able to take it."
"Sigh!" Lu Weiguo sighed and touched his son's head with his weathered hand. "Living like this is just one problem after another. How can it be smooth sailing? If you give up on yourself every time you encounter a problem, how can you achieve anything? Your father has been incompetent all his life, but I'm proud to have a son like you. In my eyes, you're like a warrior in a raging inferno, indomitable and indomitable. Not only do you have the willpower to keep your composure, but you also have the willpower to vent your anger. This little setback is nothing.
After Lu Yiwei finished a cigarette, Lu Weiguo continued, "Our Lu family has been farmers for generations. We've lived in fear on this land all our lives. It wasn't easy for us to raise a university student like you. I hope that you can bring glory to your ancestors and bring glory to the Lu family. Now that you've made a name for yourself and become an official, this is what I want to see. Furthermore, you still have room for improvement. If you're too obsessed with love, do you still remember your goal?
"After Xia Jinhe left, there will be another Dongjinhe. You're so outstanding, I don't believe that you can't find one!"
Lu Yiwei was enlightened by his father's words. He said, "Dad, I'm unfilial. I haven't let you have a grandchild until now …"
"What are you talking about? Xiao Yu isn't my granddaughter? I'm enough. I don't care if he's a boy or a girl. As long as he's the blood of the Lu family, my back will always be straight. "Lu Weiguo said emotionally.
At this moment, Liu Cuilan walked in. She comforted him, "Yiwei, your father is right. I won't force you to get married in the future. As long as you live a good life, that's more important than anything else. Having Xiao Yu is enough."
Facing his parents with white hair, Lu Yiwei was like a child who had not grown up. Tears finally flowed out of his eyes and he could not stop sobbing.
That afternoon, Lu Yiwei dressed up neatly and went to work in high spirits. As soon as he went up the stairs, Xu Jingye, the director of the Organization Department, came up to him with a smile. "Minister Lu, I heard that you're on a business trip.
Is Minister Yan around? "Lu Yiwei was stunned and mumbled," Yes. Is Minister Yan around? "
"Minister Yan went to the city for a meeting this morning. I don't think he'll be back."
"Oh."
Lu Yiwei walked into the office, and Xu Jingye quickly made tea for him. He placed a stack of documents in front of him and said, "Next month, the Municipal Party Committee's Organization Department will be conducting a survey on Party building. After consulting Minister Yan, they want you to be in charge of this matter. Please take a look."
The building of the Party at the grassroots level mainly included team building, organization building, position building, etc. Checking whether the Party members were playing the role of a fighting fortress, checking whether the Party members were playing the vanguard role was a practical work. But for a long time, it had been treated as a practical job. Most of the time, they only needed to sort out the information and look at the layout. The higher-ups did not pay much attention to it, and the subordinates had to handle the errands. It was the same every year.
Lu Yiwei browsed through the documents, and a small detail caught his attention. This survey was led by Han Honggang, the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, who was in charge of Party building. In addition, all the counties and cities were required to summarize their work experience and highlights. Han Honggang also had to comment on them one by one.
Lu Yiwei had just arrived at the Organization Department. Although it was only a deputy position, it was very important to know how he was doing and whether he could get the approval of his superiors.
Work experience and highlights were what the Party had always valued. What was a highlight? For example, when given a potato, some people racked their brains to stir-fry a plate of shredded potatoes, some people tried their best to make potato stewed ribs, and some people tried their best to make 'Green Dragon Flying in the Sky'. It was undeniable that the former was also innovative, but it still could not jump out of the box. It was short-sighted and stuck to the rules, thinking that potato stewed ribs was the highlight. The latter, on the other hand, had carried out artistic processing of the potato and paired it with a profound and elegant name. It had instantly exploded and unsurprisingly won the first place.
If the former had replaced potato stewed ribs with 'Dragon Crossing the River', it would have been another level of understanding. When it came to the specific work of the group, it was nothing more than 'innovation'. The ingredients for cooking had been distributed to everyone. As for how to cook, it would depend on each family's ability. Of course, external forces such as economics were not excluded. Relatively rich counties and cities could hire senior chefs to cook, while relatively poor places could only think of ways to make 'local cuisine'.
Bei Zhou City had a total of 11 counties and urban areas. Among them, the comprehensive strength of the urban area ranked first, Maping County ranked second, the pure agricultural county Guchuan County ranked eighth, and Nanyang County ranked tenth. It was very difficult to jump to the top in any aspect.
Lu Yiwei looked at the calendar. There was still more than half a month before the survey date. It was almost impossible to create a highlight in such a short period of time. Also, what was the highlight? Lu Yiwei's eyes were blank, and he had no idea at all.
He put the document aside and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Xu Jingye hurriedly said, "It's almost New Year's Day. The comrades in the department hope to organize a cultural party and have a meal together. Director Yan has also nodded and agreed to let you handle it. What do you think?"
"Oh." Lu Yiwei thought for a moment and said, "Since Director Yan has agreed, you can handle this matter. My principle is either do it or don't do it. I know the department's funds are tight, but don't be afraid of spending money. I'll think of a way to get the money, okay?"
