In the sunset, a small Wuling truck drove towards Jinshan County without any haste, followed by a white Jetta sedan.

"Uncle Liu, you said before that Lu Lei's father helped you, what's going on? Anyway, I'm idle, so tell us." Ge Dongxu asked in the passenger seat.

"When it comes to Lu Lei's father, he is really a good official. He used to be the head of our Jinshahe Township. I contracted an orchard in the village, but due to lack of technology and management, the entire orchard had diseases and pests. Because I invested a lot of money in the early stage, I was waiting for the result to recover some costs. In this way, I lost all my money, let alone I had no money to continue investing in the orchard, and I also owed a lot of foreign debts. After the head of township Lu learned about my situation, he specially called the people from the agricultural technology station to help and also helped me apply for a loan from the rural credit cooperative. With the help of the head of township Lu, the orchard had a bumper harvest in the next year. The orchard income has been quite good in recent years. This car has been bought in the past two years, so it is convenient for me to transport goods by myself, and I also attract some customers when I am idle." Liu Qinghui said.

"Then Lu Lei's father is really a good official who cares more about the people." Ge Dongxu said.

"That's for sure. Later, the head of township Lu was transferred to the county government as the office director. I heard that this official was better than being a head of township in our mountainous area, and I was even happier for him. As a result, within two years, head of township Lu was transferred to the head of the archives bureau. Although I am a farmer, I also know that this is a clear-water yamen. Alas, I don't know what the county leaders think." Liu Qinghui sighed.

"Do you know why Lu Lei's father was very good, and why he was suddenly transferred to the director of the Archives Bureau?" Lu Chongliang heard curiosity behind him, and at the same time felt sorry for Lu Lei's father, and couldn't help asking.

"I'm not very clear about this. I also heard from the people from the Agricultural Technology Station. It is said that County Mayor Lin and the secretary were in a bad relationship and had a big fuss. Then County Mayor Lin was transferred, and then Township Mayor Lu was transferred to the director of the Archives Bureau." Liu Qinghui replied.

"No wonder, the director of the county government office is equivalent to the county government's main steward, and he is the closest person to the county magistrate. If the county magistrate is transferred, it would be normal for Lu Lei's father to be transferred to the archives bureau." Lu Chongliang said relieved when he heard this.

Obviously, Lu Chongliang still has some understanding of things in the officialdom.

"Yes, yes, the people from the Agricultural Technology Station told me privately that. You scholars are amazing. I know that I didn't understand at all at that time." Liu Qinghui said admiringly when he heard this.

"In fact, it is not normal. If Lu Lei's father did nothing wrong, why would he have to suffer as the county magistrate transferred?" Ge Dongxu said.

"Dongxu, your thoughts are still too simple. Some things are not as simple as you imagined." Lu Chongliang said.

Ge Dongxu naturally knew this, but he did not answer, just nodded, and a look of thought appeared in his eyes.

...

Jinxiu Hotel, a century-old hotel in Jinshan County.

Although it has been renovated a few years ago and has added a lot of modern equipment, it still has an antique smell from the inside out.

Because Jinshan County is just a small place, not many people usually come to Jinxiu Hotel for dinner. However, today is the National Day holiday, and Jinxiu Hotel is a bit overcrowded.

When Ge Dongxu and his group arrived at the hotel, Lu Ming and his wife were already standing at the door waiting.

Seeing his son getting out of a Jetta sedan, four golden girls got out with him, his eyes lit up suddenly, revealing a hint of shock and pride.

"Captain Lu!" Just as the Lu Ming and his wife were shocked and proud of their son, Liu Qinghui walked up to them and shouted with surprise.

"You, you are Liu Qinghui from Liujia Village." Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, then recognized Liu Qinghui and hurriedly reached out to shake him.

"That's right, it's me, the head of Township Lu." Liu Qinghui held Lu Ming's hand and said excitedly.

"Haha, I'm no longer the village chief." Lu Ming's lips showed a bitter smile.

When he was transferred from a township chief to the county government as the office director. Although it was transferred at the same level, it was considered a high promotion. Later, he was transferred to the Archives Bureau again. Although it was another transfer at the same level, it was actually better to be the township chief in Jinshahe Township. At least in Jinshahe Township, he still managed tens of thousands of ordinary people and could show his ambitions. However, in the Archives Bureau, he managed more than a dozen people, and basically retired early.

And Lu Ming is only in his early forties this year.

"In my heart, you will always be the head of Township Lu!" Liu Qinghui said emotionally.

"Thank you, thank you for remembering me!" Lu Ming couldn't help but feel moved when he heard this, patted Liu Qinghui's back of his hand and said.

"Hello Uncle Lu, hello Auntie!" When Liu Qinghui and Lu Ming let go, Ge Dongxu and others came forward and bowed slightly and shouted.

"You are all Lu Lei's classmates. Hello, hello, welcome to our Jinshan County." Lu Ming and his wife Cai Xiaofen greeted Ge Dongxu and others with a smile on their faces.

"Dad, mom." Lu Ming and his wife had just greeted Ge Dongxu and others, and Lu Lei also brought Nicole and the four of them who got off the car from behind.

After all, Lu Ming is the leader. Although he was surprised by their youth and beauty when he saw Nicole, he didn't even dare to look at them like Liu Qinghui. Instead, he nodded slightly to his son, and then said to Nicole and the others in English with a heavy accent with a smile: "!"

Lu Lei's mother seemed a little restrained and said, "e1e!e1e!"

Lu Lei’s mother’s voice is even more inaccurate. After all, even though she had learned a little English before, she basically returned it to the teacher.

"My parents, don't show English in front of Teacher Nicole and others. They all speak Chinese, and I don't know how many times better Chinese than yours." Lu Lei couldn't help but his cheeks were a little hot when he saw his parents' English speaking Jinshan County accent, and he hurriedly said.

"Is that true?" Lu Ming and his wife said with a slightly red face.

"Mrs. Lu, good evening, Mr. Lu. Thank you for your hospitality and cause trouble for you." Nicole and the other two smiled and bowed slightly.

"Oh, your Chinese is really very good!" Cai Xiaofen said in surprise, and suddenly felt much more intimate with Nicole and the other two, and no longer felt so restrained.

"Thank you for the praise!" Nicole and others said with a smile.

"I'm relieved now. Lu Ming just told me that a foreign teacher came over, and my mother and I were very nervous. I don't know how to communicate with you at that time. Now, you speak Chinese so well, so there's no problem at all." Lu Ming quipped.
