Hearing this news, Lu Yiwei was in disbelief. "Dad, Xi City doesn't even have a decent company. It's rare for foreign investors to be willing to invest. How can you put this project in the high-tech zone? No, no, this is your political achievement after all. "
Fan Rongkui smiled kindly. "I'm already so old. What do I expect? I just hope that you and Fangfang will have a bright future. After my last shift, I'll retire and take care of Lang Lang. Lang Lang will be in primary school at that time, so I'll leave more opportunities for you guys. Also, it's not suitable to put this aviation material project in Xi City. Although it's close to the raw material base, the traffic is blocked and it's inconvenient to transport it out. That's settled then. I'll get Dongzi to contact you later. "
At this point, Lu Yiwei did not decline. He used his eyes to express his feelings at this moment.
Seeing that Fan Rongkui was in a good mood, Lu Yiwei took the opportunity to say, "Dad, the last time I ate at Xu Lei's house, Secretary Xu and I talked a lot. He's extremely regretful about that incident. I think that it's been so long and you two are old friends. There's no knot that can't be solved. Let go of what needs to be let go. "
At the mention of Xu Shousong, Fan Rongkui's face changed. He said fiercely, "Don't mention this person in front of me. I don't want to see him in this life!"
Lu Yiwei knew that Fan Rongkui was in a fit of anger, so he mustered up his courage and advised, "Dad, Xu Lei and I are blood brothers now, and our two families have a close relationship. If you keep acting like this, he won't be happy either."
"Don't say anymore. It's impossible between us!" Fan Rongkui said in frustration.
As he said that, Fan Chunfang carefully pushed open the door and poked her head in. She whispered, "Dad, Uncle Xu and Auntie Xu are here to see you."
Speaking of the devil. Fan Rongkui did not react in time. He asked in a daze, "Who?"
"Xu Lei's parents."
"No!" Fan Rongkui purposely raised his voice. "Tell them I'm not here."
Fan Chunfang and Lu Yiwei looked at each other and smiled. "Dad, they're already sitting in the living room. They've bought good cigarettes and alcohol for you. They even gave Lang Lang a big red packet. They've come with sincerity. Aren't you going to come out and meet them? "
"I won't see you!" Fan Rongkui threw a tantrum, but in fact, he had already calmed down. He was just acting up on purpose. Once they had a way out, they would naturally let go of their grudges.
Lu Yiwei added, "Dad, Secretary Xu has already come over to pay you a New Year's greeting. This shows that he has made up his mind. Since he's already here, it wouldn't be appropriate if you don't go out and meet him. "
"Let him go, I don't want to see him …" Before she could finish, Xu Shousong pushed open the door and walked in. He chuckled and said, "Lao Fan, who are you angry with? It's the new year. Come, have a smoke to calm down." As he said that, he handed over a cigarette.
Fan Rongkui snorted through his nostrils without even looking.
Xu Shousong was not annoyed. He lit it for her and stuffed it into his mouth. Then, he grabbed his arms and pulled him to a chair, saying, "Lao Fan, I'm here today to apologize to you. I still regret the foolish things I did in the past. You can scold me or hit me if you're unhappy. As long as you can calm down, do whatever you want. "
Fan Rongkui tilted his head and smoked in silence, ignoring him.
When Xu Shousong saw the chess set on the table, he immediately opened it and said, "Lao Fan, how about this. If you can beat me three times in a row, I'll disappear from your sight in the future. How about that?"
Fan Rongkui was a chess fan. He raised his head and said with contempt, "With your lousy chess skills, I don't even want to play with you."
Seeing Fan Rongkui speak, Xu Shousong deliberately goaded him, "My chess skills have improved greatly. It's hard to say if I can beat you."
"Humph, do you think I don't know you?" Fan Rongkui said, "You're the one who regrets every three steps you take. Even after losing, you still refuse to admit it. I'm not playing with you!"
"Be my opening shot!" Xu Shousong could not be bothered to bicker with Fan Rongkui, so he directly made his move.
Fan Rongkui hesitated for a long time before he raised his hand and pushed the cart out.
When Lu Yiwei saw this, he knew that the two of them were almost done. He winked at Fan Chunfang and quietly left.
When he came to the living room, he saw Mama Xu busy in the kitchen, while Sun Chunyun was standing by the side with the child in her arms, giving instructions. As Fan Chunfang had done some mental work beforehand, the two of them had already accepted each other. From the looks of it, they would be eating and drinking together tonight. This was a good sign.
Lu Yiwei gestured to Fan Chunfang to get dressed. Before he left, he said, "Mom, we'll be going out. If we're late, we won't be coming back."
"Alright, you guys go. Let Young Master Yiwei drink some wine."
When they were out the door, Fan Chunfang hugged Lu Yiwei and chuckled, "Dad is just like a donkey. I just need to touch its fur and it'll be fine. In the past, I often played chess with Uncle Xu, but I could never beat him. Heh heh, these two will probably play the whole night. "
To be able to resolve the conflict between the two of them, Lu Yiwei had one less thing to worry about. He turned back to look at Fan Chunfang and stopped in his tracks. He grabbed her hand and said, "Chunfang, thank you for everything you've done for me. I'm very happy to have a wife like you."
Fan Chunfang was deeply moved by Lu Yiwei's words. In her memory, Lu Yiwei had never spoken so solemnly before. Instantly, her eyes turned red and she said, "Yiwei, I love you." With that said, she threw herself into his arms.
Lu Yiwei patted her back and said, "Let's go." With that said, he held her hand and walked towards the car.
When they reached the car, Lu Yiwei handed the keys to Fan Chunfang and said, "Didn't you get your driver's license? Come, you drive today!"
"Ah?" Fan Chunfang hurriedly said, "No, I can't. Although I got my driver's license, I've never driven before. There are so many cars on the street. I don't dare. "
"How do you know if you don't try? Let's go." With that said, he got into the front passenger seat.
Fan Chunfang bit the bullet and got into the car. She fastened her seatbelt according to the driving school rules. After fiddling with it for a long time, she wanted to back out and said, "Yiwei, I really can't. Look at the door. It's so small. How am I going to get out later?"
"Let's go. I'll give you directions when we get there."
Fan Chunfang took a deep breath and started the engine. She released the clutch and the car slowly moved forward. He had only taken a few steps when he suddenly slammed on the brakes, and the engine of the car died.
"Again!" Lu Yiwei cheered her on.
Fan Chunfang started the engine again and under Lu Yiwei's directions, they successfully reached Niu Fuyong's house. The drive that usually took about ten minutes took an hour tonight.
"Aiyah, my brother, you are finally here." Niu Fuyong said, "Your brothers were almost asleep waiting for you. If you didn't come, we would have left."
Lu Yiwei hurriedly clasped his hands together and said, "Sorry, very sorry."
"Come in quickly. It's cold outside!"
Niu Fuyong's villa had wide windows and plenty of sunlight. Furthermore, the top floor was high. Entering was like entering another world. It was as warm as spring and very pleasant.
Upon seeing Lu Yiwei arrive, everyone who was sitting on the sofa stood up to greet him. Lu Yiwei swept his gaze across them. They were all old acquaintances. Tong Huan, Pan Chengjun, Xihe Coal Mine's CEO Peng Zhirong, major shareholder Zhou Sanmao, and a few he did not know. Seeing the brothers who had once fought bravely, Lu Yiwei was a little excited. It was as though time had returned to North River Town. He hurriedly said, "Everyone, have a seat. There's no need to be so polite."
Peng Zhirong smiled and said, "Yiwei, you haven't been back to North River Town for a long time. We all miss you. Especially the villagers of East Tile Village. They often talk about how Secretary Lu has forgotten about East Tile Village and hasn't come back to see them for so long. Haha. "
That made Lu Yiwei's nose sting. He said guiltily, "I'll definitely go back after some time."
"Alright." Zhou Sanmao said, "When you go back, I'll hold a grand welcome ceremony for you. All the wives in the village will come out to welcome you."
"Haha …"
Hearing the long-lost hometown accent, Lu Yiwei's heart was filled with endless emotions.
Tong Huan suddenly got up and walked to Fan Chunfang. He stretched out his hand and said, "Sister-in-law, you're so beautiful today."
"Is that so?" Fan Chunfang was a little embarrassed as she played with her hair.
"Isn't that so. Especially this dress. It shows off your great figure!"
When women met, they would either talk about dressing up or family trivia. They had a much wider range of topics than men. Lu Yiwei had never brought Fan Chunfang out for a meal before. Standing in front of Tong Huan today, she was indeed more stunning.
Fan Chunfang was tall, 1.7 meters tall. She had a shoulder-length perm and wore a khaki coat that Lu Yiwei had specially bought in the capital. It made her look elegant and dignified.
Tong Huan's beauty was comparable to Fan Chunfang's in the past. However, ever since she entered Dezhi Company, she had become a strong woman. She was slovenly and had been exposed to the sun and wind, so her skin had become much darker. In addition, she was petite and had put on some weight. She had lost the elegance of a former dancer and had become an iron lady in the business world.
At that moment, Niu Fuyong's wife, Zhao Guihua, walked out. She stood in front of the two women and looked very dull. Zhao Guihua was from the countryside and was not cultured. She was not educated like Tong Huan and did not have a superior background like Fan Chunfang. She looked like a housewife from the countryside. In the past, she had never cared about her appearance. Now that she was in the city, she dressed up. However, in comparison, she still looked like a farmer.
However, Niu Fuyong had never despised his wife who had gone through hardships. His feelings for her had not changed. If it were someone else, he would have long divorced a young and beautiful woman from the city. On this point, Niu Fuyong was a man. He was a real man.
"Yiwei, you guys sit down and chat. The kitchen will take a while." After Zhao Guihua finished speaking, she pulled Tong Huan and Fan Chunfang and said, "My two sisters, let's go upstairs and chat. You can teach me how to dress up."
After going upstairs, Zhou Sanmao sighed, "Yiwei, sister-in-law is really a beauty. If I could marry such a woman, I would be satisfied for the rest of my life."
"Forget it." Niu Fuyong ridiculed, "If you don't look at yourself in the mirror, look at yourself. How can you compare to Yiwei? Yiwei is a publicly recognized handsome man. When he was in Beihe Town, all the wives were moved by him. I was so f * cking jealous. "
"Haha …" Peng Zhirong laughed and said, "That's true. Otherwise, I would say that Yiwei did a good job at the grassroots level. Not only is he good at work, he is also good at other things. For example, he is good at playing the flute. Otherwise, how can he handle so many troublesome families? Haha. "
