Lu said with a smile, "I have received the transfer order from the city. I have been promoted to vice mayor and will be in charge of urban management."
Qian Duoduo was somewhat surprised. This seemed to deviate from the original novel. This one had nothing to do with agriculture at all. Where exactly did things go wrong?
Jiang Sisi immediately looked at Qian Mao. Director Lu had been promoted, but what about him?
Lu Jiang naturally noticed Jiang Sisi's questioning gaze and said with a smile, "I find Qian Mao quite handy. The moment I received the transfer order, I processed his transfer as well."
Jiang Sisi looked at Qian Mao with delighted surprise. He would be the deputy mayor's secretary from now on. It was truly a case of "when one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs rise to heaven!" After thinking of this phrase, Jiang Sisi felt a little embarrassed. How could her boyfriend be considered a "chicken or dog"?
Everyone was in a good mood after hearing the news. Qian Mao didn't drink because he had to drive, but everyone else had a little bit. Even Qian Duoduo, who had never drunk alcohol before, took a sip of the 38-degree Wuliangye.
Qian Duoduo looked at the wine glass, feeling a little dizzy, and said to Lu Yuan beside her, "Hey Uncle, stop shaking your head! It's making me dizzy!"
Qian Mao stared dumbfounded at his sister, who had downed a drink in one gulp, and then at his girlfriend beside him, who had finished a glass of wine and was now smiling broadly at him. Oh dear, what was he going to do?
Lu Jiang was surprised that these two women had such a low alcohol tolerance, and said embarrassedly, "Let's take them home first!"
Qian Mao nodded, only Lu Yuan was a little reluctant to part with her. The little girl was actually quite cute and funny when she was drunk, and he really didn't want to send her back now!
Although Qian Duoduo was a little dizzy, she still knew in her heart that she should say what should be said and not say what shouldn't be said!
Qian Mao escorted the two girls to the dormitory building and said to the dormitory supervisor, "Hello, I'd like to find Lu Fen from room 203."
The dormitory supervisor looked at Qian Mao and then at Qian Duoduo and Jiang Sisi behind her. She was a little puzzled as to why the two of them were standing there without moving. However, she still called Lu Fen down!
When Lu Fen came down, she saw the four people standing there, and Lu Jiang was sitting in a car not far away. She went to greet Lu Jiang first.
Lu Jiang said, "If I'm free tomorrow, I'll have Qian Mao pick you up, and the three of us can have a chat!"
Lu Fen nodded. She trusted her elder brother quite a bit. She asked, "Brother Jiang, do you have any news about Brother Xing?"
Lu shook his head and said, "The last thing I heard about him was that he went on a secret mission. It was a very high-level mission, and even my dad didn't have the authority to find out about it."
Lu Fen nodded and said, "I understand."
Lu Jiang sighed and said, "There's no other way for Lu Xing to go on a mission. The first few years were really tough for our family. Now we can only hope that he can complete the mission safely and come back soon!"
Lu Fen nodded. Lu Xing was her older brother. When the family suffered a disaster, her grandfather only had time to make arrangements for the few children around him. At that time, Lu Xing, who was in the army on Hainan Island, Lu Cheng, who was in the Northwest Production and Construction Corps, and Lu Yuan, who was in Shenyang, were all affected, but at least they survived!
Two years ago, my grandfather was exonerated and returned to the capital, where he was given a relatively important position. My father and second uncle were also reinstated. Everything was moving in a positive direction. However, I only recently learned that Lu Xing was sent on a secret mission. The mission had a very high level of secrecy, which meant that the risk factor was also higher.
This made the Lu family very worried about him, but since they couldn't get in touch with him, they could only wait!
Lu said, "You should take Duoduo and Jiang back. Jiang might be a little better, but Duoduo got completely drunk. I'm speechless!"
Lu Fen laughed and said, "Okay, I'll carry them back right now!"
Lu Jiang watched as Lu Fen put one arm around Qian Duoduo's waist and held the hand of Jiang Sisi, who could still walk independently, with the other. It was as if he was enjoying the bliss of having two wives. He couldn't help but smile and think, "It's so good to be young!"
Qian Duoduo was quite drunk. Since her bed was the top bunk, Lu Fen felt he couldn't carry her to the top bunk like a strongman. Fortunately, Guo Ni hadn't returned yet, so he decided to let Qian Duoduo spend the night on Guo Ni's bed.
Qian Duoduo woke up thirsty and was surprised to find that there was a bed board on the spot where she was lying.
Lu Fen got up a bit early. Seeing Qian Duoduo with her eyes open, she went over and asked, "I didn't expect you to be such a good drinker, you passed out after just one sip!"
Qian Duoduo sighed and said, "I didn't expect that either! I'll try it out when I have the chance!"
Lu Fen asked curiously, "How do you practice?"
Qian Duoduo said, "When we have a holiday later, let's find a place to have a drink!"
Lu Fen smiled and said, "Then you should find a place first."
Qian Duoduo nodded. Since Third Brother had been following Vice Mayor Lu all this way, it was definitely impossible for him to return to Beian Village. If the trajectory in the book was followed, Lu would stay in Heilongjiang Province for more than ten years. It seemed necessary to buy Third Brother a house. If he got married in the future, wouldn't he have a place to settle down?
Qian Mao had no idea that his sister was already planning to buy him a house. He was moving with Lu Jiang and they were currently living in a rented house in a less than ideal environment. Fortunately, the provincial government's dormitory building had just been completed, and Lu Jiang had arranged for a three-bedroom apartment to be reserved for him. This way, his younger siblings would have a place to rest when they came to visit.
Of course, a study was essential. Qian Mao came over to help Lu Jiang move things from the study. There were two big boxes full of documents and such. You could tell how well Qian Mao was doing at this point. The two of them each carried a 50-pound cardboard box and carried it away.
In no time, the car was completely filled. Lu Jiang, sitting in the passenger seat, smiled and said, "Not bad, you haven't forgotten to exercise these past few years!"
Qian Mao laughed and said, "Of course I need to exercise. If I become a weakling before I've even won over my wife, wouldn't I be looked down upon?"
Lu Jiang smiled. The two of them had worked together from the secretary of Shangzhi County Party Committee to the current deputy mayor of the provincial capital. Their mentor-student and friend-like relationship made them both feel very comfortable. Qian Mao's sense of propriety and boundaries made Lu Jiang feel very safe, so he was willing to trust his partner.
Of course, Qian Mao didn't let Lu Jiang regret it. He handled his work cleanly and efficiently, and didn't have to clean up his messes, which saved him a lot of trouble.
It's not that no one wants to take Qian Mao away, but he's someone I'm very comfortable with, so how can I easily let him go?
On the way, their thoughts were scattered. Before long, they arrived at the apartment building. The two of them carried their things to the cleanest room in the entire building—the study!
