Chapter 148 Happy and Mourning (2)
Although it was a good wine, all three of them were carrying cars, each with three taels, and it was enough to stop. Back to the old house, Li Rui had just opened the door and walked into the main room and found a figure rushing towards him. He subconsciously flashed to the side, and clenched his fists and was about to swing him over, he smelled a faint fragrance in his breath, which was a familiar smell. Then he loosened his fists, relaxed his arms and wrapped around the soft waist of the visitor.
"Why are you here?"
The man in his arms giggled, "Why can't I come? I've never been here before!"
"I've also said that I've invited you several times. When did you have time?" Li Rui smiled and let go of Gao Jie, he casually turned on the switch on the wall, but saw that she was wearing her pajamas and her hair was a little wet. It was obvious that she had just taken a shower. Her white and tender breasts were exposed under her wide collar, not only undulating and extremely attractive.
Li Rui kissed her cherry lips and said with a smile: "It won't be like this in the future. It's scary if you don't turn on the lights. I almost treated you as a thief just now."
Gao Jie pushed him and said coquettishly: "Have you ever seen a thief like me?"
Li Rui reached out to pinch her face, "You are just a female thief, a female thief who steals her heart."
Gao Jie smiled sweetly: "When I went to see Meixia this afternoon, I heard that you were back to Nanqiao. My aunt and the others went back for something today, and my mother also went to Jiangning with me. I had nothing to do, so I called Qiangzi and asked him to pick me up."
"No wonder this guy said something was wrong. It turned out that he was going to Pengcheng to pick you up! This guy didn't even reveal his voice at all."
"I asked him to keep it secret, just to give you a surprise, and also to check the Chagang to see if you listen to it in Nanqiao." Gao Jie put his hands on Li Rui's neck and said.
Li Rui smiled and said, "Are you afraid that I will raise a little girl here?"
Gao Jie gave him a blank look, "It's good that you know. I've been with Meixia these days, right?"
"What are you happy about? I just saw that she was pitiful. She was alone in Pengcheng for the New Year, so I took her here. Unexpectedly, I almost lost my life when I went to Shen Weidong's hometown."
"Pretend, just pretend!" Gao Jie beat him, "But Meixia is also very pitiful. I heard her say that she has been celebrating the New Year alone for so many years. She said that although there was a small accident this time, it was the happiest New Year she has ever had."
"Is that so? She told you all! Then why didn't she express her gratitude to me in person? It's a blessing that I served her like an old Buddha." Li Rui pretended to be surprised and said.
"Don't just say you're fat, you're so hungry. I really didn't realize that you are quite enthusiastic." Gao Jie sneered Li Rui's face and said with a giggle.
Li Rui took the opportunity to hug her into her arms, gently rubbed her delicate skin with the beard on her chin, and chuckled: "Of course I am enthusiastic, especially to beautiful women, otherwise how could I know you in the first place."
Gao Jie recalled the situation where the two met, and her heart was filled with sweetness, but she immediately felt that Li Rui had started to be honest, so she quickly struggled to push him away: "Why don't you go take a shower, your body smells smelly, and it smells of wine."
Li Rui laughed and raised his noble chin with his fingers, "Then I'll go take a shower, little baby, wait for me in the bed obediently!"
The next day, Gao Jie followed Li Rui to pay condolences. Chen Shiwei was very flattered when he saw Gao Jie coming. Li Rui looked at his bloodshot eyes and his beard was unshaven, and advised: "Tomorrow's funeral, you should take it easy."
"I'm fine!" Chen Shiwei shook his head, and then he said angrily: "Gou Fugui sent the mine manager of Changshan Coal Mine to come here early this morning and brought a gift of 10,000 yuan. You really want to say that you don't show up for the Chinese New Year. There must be a premeditation when coming here today. I confiscated it and let Lian Sheng pass it."
Li Rui nodded. At this time, Gou Fugui sent someone over here and even gave him 10,000 yuan in gifts, so he was definitely not kind-hearted. The next day, most of them were leaders of various townships and county party committee offices, some represented units, and some represented individuals. Chen Shiwei's connections in Nanqiao can be seen. Li Rui also helped Chen Shiwei greet guests. Fortunately, there were corresponding people in all departments under Qingshanquan Town to help greet him. It was not easy for them. They had never left since the moment the spirit shed was built yesterday, and they were with Chen Shiwei. Several of them were already over fifty years old, which was quite touching, but looking back at the reason why they were willing to be filial sons and grandsons here was not for the official position under Chen Shiwei's butt. This is reality.
The next day, the old lady was buried, and fine white snow floated from the sky. There were many people coming to see her off, and cars were one after another. Li Rui, Fang Qiang and his driver Ding Junfeng were sitting together in Wu Kangmei's old Toyota, walking slowly in the traffic of seeing her off. Fang Qiang couldn't help but sigh: "The scene is so big! Secretary Chen is really a character!"
Wu Kangmei shook her head and said, "This is not a good thing. Why didn't Secretary Chen pay attention to this? If it doesn't work, it will cause trouble. Last year, a deputy county magistrate from Donghai City was reported for holding a funeral for his father. As a result, a series of problems were found, which eventually led to step down and sit in the class." He was also very sensitive to this aspect after hearing Li Rui's words yesterday.
Li Rui frowned. He had discussed with Chen Shiwei yesterday, and tried to be as low-key as possible, grand but not ostentatious as possible. To be on the safe side, he specially asked Ding Junfeng to stop the car today. The two of them got into Wu Kangmei's car together, but unexpectedly, there were still so many cars. The people watching on both sides of the road were crowded with people. Looking out of the window, many people were whispering and pointing fingers.
The car stopped again. The convoy was too long and it was easy to get traffic jams when it encountered traffic lights. Li Rui rolled down the window and suddenly found someone in the crowd taking pictures. His heart suddenly tightened, and a sensitive word popped up in his mind: Reporter! This is not like now. There is a little bit of a stir. Everyone took out their mobile phones to take pictures and were busy uploading **. Nowadays, cameras are luxury goods. An ordinary point-and-shoot camera will cost several months or even half a year of salary. Ordinary people rarely have cameras, not to mention that the woman in a red down jacket in the crowd was holding a high-end product with a lens in her hand. She is very likely to be a reporter! If today's incident is really exposed by the reporter, Chen Shiwei is very likely to face a crisis. Not to mention competing for the position of the county party committee standing committee, even whether the current seat can be kept is a problem.
"Junfeng, look over there." Li Rui pushed Ding Junfeng, who was sitting beside him, pointed at the red figure who was taking pictures.
Ding Junfeng's eyes were sharp, and he immediately found the target and nodded at Li Rui.
"You go and follow her to see if it is a reporter. If it is a reporter, um..." Li Rui whispered.
Without Li Rui's words, Ding Junfeng immediately understood and nodded and responded: "I understand." After that, he opened the door and got out.
"Why did Junfeng get off the bus?" Fang Qiang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned around and asked curiously. Just now, Li Rui and Ding Junfeng muttered behind. Although he heard the sound, he did not hear the content clearly.
"It's okay, I'll let him do something."
Fang Qiang said oh, not taking it seriously. Instead, Wu Kangmei, who was driving, looked at Li Rui sitting behind the back mirror, and the expression on her face revealed a trace of meaning.
The funeral was quite smooth and successful. While waiting for cremation and getting the ashes at the funeral home, Li Rui wanted to ask Chen Shiwei why so many people and cars came today, but when he saw him feeling heartbroken, he had to give up and found a sheltered place to smoke. He was still worried about what happened today. If that woman was really a reporter, it would be troublesome.
"So you are hiding here for leisure, which makes me feel easy to find." Chen Weidong walked over with a smile. He went out to travel with his family two days ago. This morning he came back to attend the funeral.
"I've heard about Miss Yu, I'm so embarrassed!"
"If you have any embarrassment, you can only blame yourself if you want to blame. By the way, the key will be given to you in a few days, and the luggage will be there." Li Rui smiled.
"It's okay, just take the key. I rarely go there anyway. It's more convenient for you to have any activities in the future." Chen Weidong said with a frown.
"What do you guys think? I'll give you the keys after I go and get my luggage."
"Isn't it enough to let Xiao Wang go there? There is no need for you, Director Li, to get it himself." Chen Weidong.
"Don't, there are some things from women's houses that are inconvenient to others..." After saying this, Li Rui suddenly realized that the more he was talking about it, the darker it became!
Sure enough, Chen Weidong pointed at him with a smile without saying a word, with an expression that he finally grabbed you and showed his feet.
Li Rui simply stopped explaining and talked to him about the funeral today. Chen Weidong lowered his voice: "I met a friend in the parking lot just now. Guess what? He and Lao Chen are not familiar with him at all. Someone asked him to help him. I heard that many people came here after collecting money. You said that Lao Chen took the wrong medicine? Even if you want to do it, you can't do such a thing. Besides, now is the critical time for him. If someone makes a fuss about today's work, it will be accurate to catch one! But Lao Chen also needs to do this. He just needs to make a sound, and no one of the coal bosses below will do as they go. Could it be that someone deliberately..."
Chen Weidong is worthy of being aware of it. He suddenly thought of the key to the problem. Li Rui nodded and said, "It must be someone who designed it on purpose. I saw someone taking photos on the way here just now."
Chen Weidong immediately took a breath of air and said quickly: "Reporter! So, today's series of people have dug holes in advance, just waiting for Lao Chen to jump into it. You have to find a way to do this!"
Li Rui smiled bitterly and said, "Look at Old Chen's current state! Let's wait until he successfully sends the old lady away."
I will go back to my hometown for the New Year’s Eve dinner tomorrow, so I will post it first in the early morning. Sorry!
