Sure enough, when they returned to Xu Banxian's residence, Xu Banxian rubbed his ankle with two fingers, lifted his foot and rotated it vigorously. He took out a bottle of black liquid from the cabinet and smeared it on the injury, then said: "Alright, pay attention to rest." From start to finish, it was less than three minutes.
Shi Xiaoman tried to move her ankle and felt that she could feel her ankle. She was relieved, and she had a new impression of Xu Banxian. After thanking Xu Banxian, Dong Xuebing limped down the hill.
Lu Yiwei supported Shi Xiaoman and moved her bit by bit. Looking at her clumsy appearance, he hardened his heart and carried her up.
Shi Xiaoman was shocked by Lu Yiwei's actions and quickly hit Lu Yiwei: "You hooligan! What are you doing? Put me down now!"
Lu Yiwei didn't think much of it. He laughed and said, "What stinking hooligan? Didn't I just carry you up like this? We are going downhill now, and your legs can't move. What's wrong with me carrying you down? You are thinking too much. "
Shi Xiaoman did not struggle. She looked at Lu Yiwei's handsome face, felt his firm body, and smelled the faint scent of tobacco. She felt safe and rested her head on Lu Yiwei's chest. She hugged his neck even tighter.
At the foot of the hill, Lu Yiwei carried Shi Xiaoman to his car. He decided to send Shi Xiaoman back to her hostel first.
After returning to the North River Town's government courtyard, Lu Yiwei helped Shi Xiaoman out of the car. This caused a huge commotion in the entire Mechanic Courtyard. Even the chef who prepared the meals carried his kitchen knife and stood to the side to watch this rare scene.
"He must have sprained his ankle while shooting. That was a strong shot." The bespectacled staff from the General Affairs Office joked.
"Hey, look at that Shi Xiaoman's round butt and that willow-like waist. If I can have sex with her once, it'll be worth it even if I lose five years of my life. Tsk tsk." Another cadre swallowed his saliva and said lewdly.
"You? Forget it. Didn't you see that she is already with Lu Yiwei? You can only dream about it. "The bespectacled staff replied.
It was still that female staff. She threw the newspaper on the table and left. As soon as she heard people in the office talking about Shi Xiaoman, the female cadre became furious.
The windows of the government building were crowded with people. Even the Party Committee Secretary, Wei Guoqiang, was standing in front of the windows. Lu Yiwei did not mind, but Shi Xiaoman was embarrassed. She tried to break free from Lu Yiwei, but Lu Yiwei was holding her tightly.
Back at the hostel, Lu Yiwei helped Shi Xiaoman to her bed and poured her a glass of water. "Rest first. I will bring lunch for you at noon. I will go and look for Zhou Sanmao now. Don't move around."
Before leaving, Lu Yiwei carefully took out Xiao Hong's novel, The Legend of the Hulan River, and placed it in front of Shi Xiaoman. They looked at each other with a smile and closed the door.
Shi Xiaoman looked at Lu Yiwei's back as he left. Her smile froze on her face. Lu Yiwei was a tough man, but he was meticulous. He cared for her in every possible way. She could not help but compare him to her husband. When she returned to reality, Shi Xiaoman immediately interrupted her thoughts. "What am I doing?"
After leaving the government building, Lu Yiwei called Zhou Sanmao. Zhou Sanmao was about to go to the provincial capital, but he heard that Lu Yiwei had something to discuss, so he drove back to Beihe Town.
The relationship between Lu Yiwei and Zhou Sanmao was neither good nor bad. They drank a few times and asked him to help a few times. That was all. Zhou Sanmao was kind-hearted, honest, and had a strong sense of brotherhood. When friends asked him for help, he would try his best to help. This kind of character also made a lot of friends.
Zhou Sanmao was from Xikou Village. Although the surname Zhou was small, it was very united. He never participated in the affairs between the Ma and Tian families. Zhou Sanmao was very popular in both the Ma and Tian families. This was also the original reason why Lu Yiwei wanted Zhou Sanmao to run for the village chief.
If the conflict between the two sides could not be solved, a third party would just be a compromise. This way, the two sides would not be jealous. On the contrary, with the help of a third party, it could even solve the conflict between the two sides.
After the coal mine opened in the village, Zhou Sanmao bought a tricycle to sell coal. After gradually expanding, he changed his shotgun to a big truck. Now he had three cars. Although his living standard was not as good as Guo Kaisheng and Niu Fuyong in Beihe Village, he was considered a superior family in Xikou Village and even in Beihe Town.
Some "country bumpkins" began to become arrogant and domineering in the village. However, Zhou Sanmao was different. He was very low-key and modest. He never flaunted his wealth. He had always been making money in silence. People called him a "hidden rich man".
When Lu Yiwei first came, Zhou Sanmao also advised him to buy two cars and run the transportation business together. Lu Yiwei was also tempted. However, after thinking that running the transportation business could only make him rich, it could not bring practical benefits to the people, so he gave up. There were many opportunities to make money for Lu Yiwei. When he was with Mayor Chu, many businessmen took the initiative to express their goodwill. If he went against his principles to make money, Lu Yiwei would definitely be rich and would not have to worry about money later.
Lu Yiwei and Zhou Sanmao met at a dumpling restaurant in the town. Because the boss's daughter was beautiful, there were especially many people who came to eat, which made people in the same industry jealous. Later, other restaurants used ruthless methods to hire a few beautiful waitresses, but the effect was not satisfactory.
It was lunchtime, and there were more people eating at the dumpling restaurant. After Lu Yiwei entered, the boss's doughy face squeezed out a smile and said, "What a rare guest. Mayor Lu, how long has it been since you came to eat here? Please come in! Xiaomei, private room number one. "
Because the door was low, Lu Yiwei's tall body had to bend down to enter. When they entered the private room, Zhao Xiaomei was wearing a tight sportswear. Her beautiful face was so perfect that there were almost no flaws. Through her fair skin, one could even see the blue veins. Lu Yiwei couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.
It was not easy to grow such a beautiful water lotus in the Loess Plateau. However, his family was not well off. He gave up studying early and opened this dumpling restaurant with passion. Relying on his handsome image and warm service, he earned a lot of money over the years.
"Big Brother Lu, what do you want to eat today?" Zhao Xiaomei handed over the menu and poured some water. She placed it before Lu Yiwei and looked at this mature, charming, and successful man in a daze.
Handing the menu over to Zhao Xiaomei, Lu Yiwei smiled. "I've treated Zhou Sanmao for lunch. Same as usual, but I want an extra set of dumplings."
