Rebirth 78: Hunting for Treasure in the Mountains, Spoiling My Wife and Daughter to the Heavens

What kind of pomp and circumstance is needed when a provincial leader visits a county town for inspection?

Lu Weiguo really learned a lot this time.

It was the dead of winter, already mid-November.

All the primary school students in the county were wearing thin school uniforms and holding small red flowers they had folded themselves.

It starts from the national highway coming down from the county town.

They lined up all the way to the county government compound.

All industries in the entire county were suspended, and all factories were shut down.

The group lined both sides of the street to welcome them.

Even the guesthouse suspended operations, awaiting the arrival of Commissioner Zhang.

"It's better to be a leader."

Zhao Jiahuan sipped his tea and stood by the window looking down.

At this moment, she was standing to Lu Weiguo's left.

On the right, Yu Hong's hands were anything but still touching him.

Fortunately, it's already winter, and the leather coat I'm wearing can cover my lower body.

"If an official doesn't serve the people, he might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes. We'll have to see how this commissioner really is."

As Lu Weiguo said this, he quietly patted Zhao Jiahuan's round face.

I have to say, it's quite exciting to do this.

Moreover, he had been waiting for Commissioner Zhang's methods all this time.

Based on his experience, Zhang Dexing was a coward who would seek revenge for anything he had wronged, but never quite managed to get it right.

How could my cousin possibly have good intentions?

But after so long, not a single message has come from above.

Instead, they promoted him by one rank.

Yes!

Because of his enormous contributions and exemplary role in the Reform and Opening-up Office.

He has now been promoted to the rank of section chief.

She is on par with Yu Hong, except there is no corresponding position.

In a county town, a position equivalent to a section chief is essentially the head of a unit.

Even Zhao Jiahuan was only on temporary assignment, not a real section chief.

"You still have time to think about this? You should think about yourself instead. Try not to show your face today."

"Once he leaves, you can go back to the Reform and Development Office, and I'll be your deputy."

Zhao Jiahuan sighed, not because he was the deputy, but because he was worried about Lu Weiguo.

You beat my cousin up like that; he lost half his teeth and his lower body is practically useless.

I heard that patients at the provincial hospital are still unable to urinate and defecate normally.

How could his cousin not come to seek revenge?

How could his cousin not come looking for trouble?

Otherwise, why would I have come to this border town?

"Should I avoid their sharp edge?"

Lu Weiguo showed off in front of the woman.

"Yes, yes, you're the best, you're the most amazing, so can you satisfy both of us at the same time~~~"

Yu Hong and Zhao Jia Huan exchanged a glance.

To give Lu Weiguo a break, each person grabbed one of his arms and pulled him down onto the sofa.

. . . . .

Less than half an hour.

The two women slumped onto the sofa.

Lu Weiguo clapped his hands and rolled his eyes at the two of them: "That's it?"

It just so happened that he was standing by the bed smoking a cigarette afterward.

Several black sedans slowly passed by below the window.

In the dead of winter, in the back seat of the car, a man with frost on his glasses was wiping them while waving to the passersby who were there to greet him.

The man bore a resemblance to Zhang Dexing by only three-tenths.

But more than anything, it gives people a sense of friendliness.

Many pedestrians were moved to tears as they watched the leader mingling with everyone.

"It's freezing cold, go back quickly, and children too, wear more clothes, go back, go back."

The man shouted at the top of his lungs, without any airs whatsoever.

Even just now, as I passed by the guesthouse, I saw a little boy who had fallen down on the roadside.

He jumped directly out of the car that was still in motion.

He ran to the child and helped him up.

As if by magic, he pulled a handful of White Rabbit milk candies from his pocket and distributed them to the children.

"What a show-off."

Zhao Jiahuan said with a sneer.

She pulled the blanket tighter around herself and nestled in Lu Weiguo's arms.

She was already a young lady from a wealthy family, and she was even closer to Lu Weiguo, so subconsciously she felt that the Zhang family members were all no good.

"If he's faking it, then he's doing a really good job." Lu Weiguo narrowed his eyes, his expression growing increasingly serious. "I'm afraid he's not faking it, then that would be a bit tricky."

During his months at the guesthouse, he wasn't completely unprepared.

We have made the best of our expectations and the worst of our plans.

The sniper rifle, which was regularly maintained, was now hidden on the roof of the guesthouse.

The family has made most of the arrangements.

A timber truck that came from the Greater Khingan Mountains has been parked in Fendou Village for some time now.

If anything seems amiss, the Greater Khingan Mountains are definitely the best place to hide.

Fatty Xiong patted his chest and assured everyone that they could stay at his family's mountain villa.

However, Lu Weiguo still contacted Liu Jia privately.

He secretly arranged for his family to live in a remote village.

But what does this Commissioner Zhang look like?

"Yu Hong, get up quickly and call Liu Mei and her sister over. I will personally host the banquet tonight with them."

Lu Weiguo thought for a moment and then said.

Avoiding it wasn't a problem, and he didn't intend to avoid it.

I just wanted to arrange our first meeting with Commissioner Zhang at the Reform and Opening-up Office.

After all, that's his true home turf.

But seeing this scene changed his mind.

The car drove into the county committee building.

The entire county town has returned to its bustling state.

However, now discussions about how approachable Commissioner Zhang is can be heard in every street and alley of every county town.

"My boss waved to me, and we even made eye contact. He also told me to wear more clothes. He's such a good boss."

"Yeah, he even gave my son some candy, and now my son doesn't want to eat any."

"We are lucky to have such a leader."

"My head and hands were outside the window for more than half an hour the whole way; you can't fake that."

"My goodness, no wonder he became a leader at such a young age."

"..."

Li Xiuhe was at her breakfast shop, with Lu Jiacheng by the phone.

The breakfast shop wasn't open yet, and it wasn't even noon when Li Guangrong and his wife arrived with large bags and bundles.

He acted as if the hustle and bustle outside had nothing to do with him.

In Fendou Village, Li Huifang, along with Widow Liu, carried two large sacks onto a truck.

This is all the recollections about Liu Dazhuang.

"Sister, I'll stay here to watch the house. You can take Ermei and the others with you. Dazhuang isn't here, so you're the head of the household. His sister absolutely cannot get into trouble." Widow Liu held Li Huifang's hand tightly.

It's not that she doesn't want to leave, it's just that she can't bear to part with this hard-won home.

Since her husband passed away, this is the place where she has felt the most warmth.

Human biases often stem from this.

They all come from the most vulnerable part of our hearts.

"Sis, why don't you come with us? Otherwise, when Dazhuang comes back, he won't blame me if he doesn't see you."

Li Huifang's eyes were swollen from crying. The two were like sisters, true family, and had long been inseparable from each other.

"It's alright. Someone has to stay home anyway. Besides, Brother Lu is here too. I'll go find him if anything happens."

Yes.

Lu Baojia also has no intention of leaving.

The Lu family compound has been almost completely tidied up.

Everything was for the three children; we didn't bring many clothes for the adults.

The whole family sat silently around the three children by the fire.

"Honey, why don't you come with us? Weiguo thinks the same way."

Shu Ruizhi couldn't live without Lu Baojia, but her older brother had somehow lost his mind.

No matter who tries to persuade her, she will wait here for her younger brother.

"You all should leave. I'm the eldest son in this family; if anyone should leave, it should be him. Regardless of whether I'm useful or not, if something really happens, I can still help him if I'm here."
