Lan Lili, her mother and her two children were immediately surprised. Usually, when the family was in the car, Lu Chengyi usually liked to sit in the front passenger seat to avoid being squeezed around. But this time, he actually took the initiative to give the front passenger seat to Lu Chengcheng. It can be seen that she is no longer ordinary in Lu Chengyi's mind.

Lu Chengyi opened the car door and was about to get in when he suddenly remembered something, "We won't be back until the afternoon, so just make your own meal for lunch. Don't make the afternoon meal so sweet, add more salt and seasoning."

After saying that, Lu Chengyi got in the car and the car drove out immediately.

Lan Lili stared blankly at the car driving away, and suddenly felt extremely panicked.

She discovered that Lu Chengyi, who she could easily control in the past, had gradually begun to lose interest in her tricks. Instead, that little girl began to have a place in his mind. Moreover, the reason why he asked her to add more salt and seasonings was naturally because he wanted to taste the flavors of Northwestern cuisine.

I really didn't realize that this girl was so capable. In just half a month, she was able to completely subdue Lu Chengyi and make the three of them, mother and son, step back. She really underestimated her in the past.

This time she really miscalculated. If she hadn't gotten so angry with Lu Chengyi because of Geng Geng's matter, the dead girl would have had the opportunity to take advantage of her.

However, since she has returned with the child, she will naturally take back everything that belongs to her and the child, and will not let the dead woman and her child take any advantage.

Seeing that his father had a new driver, Lu Genggeng immediately asked curiously, "Driver, what's your last name and your name?"

The driver smiled faintly and said, "I dare not. Please don't mention your last name, Li."

Lu Genggeng immediately said flatteringly, "Master Li, when you have time..."

Before he could finish his words, Lu Chengyi shouted, "You are not allowed to touch the car without my permission, otherwise I will send you directly to the Public Security Bureau and lock you up!"

Lu Genggeng suddenly wilted.

The driver looked in the rearview mirror and saw Lu Genggeng slumped in the seat like a puddle of mud, and couldn't help but smile coldly in his heart.

He knew very well how his predecessor was fired. On the first day he was transferred to drive Lu Chengyi, he was called in for a talk by the director of the logistics department. The gist of it was that the car was allocated to the cadres of the agency and could not be used by the children without permission.

He felt very sympathetic towards the driver who was fired. He thought he was unwilling to do this, but he did not dare to offend the child of his immediate superior. He lent the money to him with a fluke mentality, which resulted in such an incident.

He would not make the same mistake as his ex again. Moreover, this was the first time he met these two children, and he did not like them. They looked down on him and did not even say hello when they got in the car. Unlike Lu Chengcheng, she was so well-behaved and would say hello to him every time and thank him when she got out of the car.

He was afraid that Lu Genggeng would ask him for the car again, so he took the initiative to talk to Lu Chengcheng. "Lu Chengcheng, I heard from people in our department that your sand painting performance was very good. A reporter from the provincial capital's daily newspaper is planning to do a personal interview with you. Is this true?"

Lu Chengcheng had not told Lu Chengyi that she was going to be interviewed by the provincial capital's daily newspaper because the date had not been confirmed. Unexpectedly, the news spread to her father's unit so quickly.

Lu Chengyi was also surprised. "Cheng Cheng, is this true? Why haven't I heard you mention it before?"

"Dad, just a few days ago, the vice president of our school's student union mentioned to me that the reporter who came to cover the provincial university's welcome party last time was very interested in my sand painting performance and wanted to do a personal interview with me. The time is tentatively scheduled for after May Day. I didn't tell you because I thought it was not finalized yet."

Lu Fangfang suddenly said sarcastically, "It was just an interview. I didn't tell Dad about it, but it became known to everyone in his workplace. Even the driver knew about it."

Just as Lu Chengcheng was about to clarify, Driver Li smiled and said, "Director Lu, I heard it from Xiao Wen from our unit. He's the liaison with the daily newspaper. Someone at the newspaper mentioned to him that he'd been reading Lu Chengcheng's comics lately, so he told me about it. I was curious, so I confirmed it with Lu Chengcheng."

Lu Chengyi nodded with satisfaction.

Lu Chengcheng is a humble and modest child, and he doesn't like to show off his achievements. This is indeed like him.

The car stopped in front of the government compound, and Lu Chengyi and his three children got out.

There was a military truck parked in front of the agency compound, obviously transporting people from the agency to the reservoir.

At eight o'clock, the truck set off on time. Except for Wei Lingcheng and the driver who sat in the car, everyone else sat in the bed, carrying their lunch boxes and chatting lively.

In the car, half of the people were adults and half were children. Almost every cadre brought his or her own children. Children of similar age immediately gathered together and chattered excitedly.

They have been tired of staying at home or at school all day long. Now that they can come out and play together, they are naturally very happy.

Seeing so many of their peers so excited, Lu Genggeng and Lu Fangfang thought that the so-called working outside was just a pretense, and they could then ask others to go to the mountains to hunt birds or go to the river to catch fish.

Only Lu Chengcheng said nothing. He sat in the corner of the truck bed, trying to take a rest. He was afraid that the work ahead would be very tiring and he would not have much time to rest.

Seeing the three children's completely different reactions, Lu Chengyi felt that Lu Chengcheng was mature and steady, unlike those little kids who just wanted to let themselves go.

The provincial capital reservoir is located at the western foot of Ping'an Mountain in the provincial capital. According to provincial plans, the reservoir is approximately ten kilometers long from north to south and three kilometers wide from east to west. Upon completion, the upstream controlled drainage area will be at least eight hundred square kilometers. Once completed, the Dong River, which runs through the provincial capital, will no longer wreak havoc during the annual summer rainy season.

The military truck stopped in a wasteland, the people in the truck jumped out one after another, and the truck drove away.

The place was desolate everywhere, with no village in front and no shop behind. Wei Lingcheng clapped his hands, and everyone automatically lined up, with the children in front and the adults behind.

"Okay, the road ahead is not accessible to large vehicles, so we must all walk. Everyone, follow me."

A voice came from the group of children, "How long will it take?"

Lu Chengcheng recognized Lu Genggeng's voice and couldn't help but smile.

Wei Lingcheng also smiled. "The reservoir is about four kilometers away from here. If we go fast, forty minutes will be enough. If we go slowly, we can definitely get there in an hour."

The faces of the group of half-grown children were pale.

Lu Genggeng screamed miserably, but was glared at fiercely by Lu Chengyi, and was so scared that she shut up.

This was not the first time Wei Lingcheng came here. He walked forward with ease, and the cadres behind him followed closely. However, the group of children followed closely at the beginning, but after a while, many of them gradually fell behind.
