Bai Qing heard movement at the door and hurriedly came down from upstairs.

He made a look to Xiao Lan, who understood and turned around to go to her room upstairs.

"Are you hungry?" Bai Qing came over, fiddled with Li Yuanlang's collar, and said softly: "I asked the kitchen to prepare a midnight snack for you, let's go there together."

Li Yuanlang simply ate something on the plane, and when Bai Qing mentioned it, his stomach really growled.

Drinking preserved egg and lean meat porridge and eating exquisite side dishes, Li Yuanlang had a big appetite.

Bai Qing sat across from him and said nothing, just watching Li Yuanlang enjoy his meal and putting things into his bowl from time to time.

After Li Yuanlang had eaten and drank enough, he took the tissue from Bai Qing and wiped his mouth while asking: "Is daddy asleep?"

"It's already late and you're still awake. Who is a night owl like you?"

As the couple walked upstairs, Li Yuanlang did not forget to take a look at the room where his father-in-law rested.

He first went to look at Qingqing and Li Xuan on tiptoe. The son and the daughter were sleeping soundly.

Li Yuanlang suppressed his joy and just looked at them without making any move to disturb them.

Back in their room, Li Yuanlang sat on the sofa, holding Bai Qing's hand, and finally asked him the reason for urgently summoning him back.

"Dad is very confused." Bai Qing said: "This conference happened when my father had a heart condition and said he would only attend the opening ceremony and then leave first. However, Yu said that he hoped that dad would attend from beginning to end and not leave first."

"Husband, you don't know, Shang Tianhe has come to visit dad twice in the past few days. I guess it is to implement dad's full participation in the meeting."

"Uncle Wang also called and talked with Dad for an hour. Now the outside world generally believes that Dad is showing off his attitude and deliberately letting people see signs of disharmony between him and Yu."

"Dad is frowning and his temper has become unreasonable. Only I know why he is irritable and restless."

"It is said that at this conference, Zhang Hanqi had to take injections and was forced to come. Even Chen Zifeng and other old comrades had to push wheelchairs as long as they could still move."

"With re-election, there will be a large-scale reorganization, which is of great importance. Veteran comrades will participate collectively, which was rare before."

"Husband, dad is indeed unwell. The doctor has repeatedly warned him not to be angry, excited, and not to be tired."

"This kind of activity takes several hours. I'm worried that my father won't be able to handle it, so I really have no idea now and don't know how to persuade him."

As he said this, Bai Qing's eyes turned red and she wiped away tears.

Li Yuanlang's expression was serious, and he was also troubled in his heart.

The participation of Zhang Hanqi, who had not appeared for a long time, and the participation of Chen Zifeng were enough to show the importance Yu Jinfeng attached to it.

At this time, even though his father-in-law was in poor health, he was still younger than the two of them. If he was absent from part of the conference, Yu would definitely think that his father-in-law was brooding about the scene that happened in Haizhou.

This can be seen from Shang Tianhe's two visits and Wang Minghong's phone calls.

The disease originates from the heart. My father-in-law has moved to the capital for some time. Could it be that his illness is related to the conference, and then his heart becomes turbid, affecting his already fragile heart?

After thinking about it, Li Yuanlang comforted him and said, "Don't worry too much. Worrying alone won't solve the problem. Let's have a good talk with dad tomorrow to eliminate his inner demons."

"Inner demon?" Bai Qing was surprised, "You mean..."

"I'll tell you after I finish talking to dad."

Li Yuanlang was tired, tired and sleepy.

After taking a hot bath, I got into bed and fell asleep quickly.

When I woke up the next day, it was almost nine o'clock.

Seeing that he was sleeping deeply, Bai Qing couldn't bear to wake him up.

Anyway, there are still two days before the conference, and Li Yuanlang only needs to report for work tomorrow night.

After breakfast, Li Yuanlang entered the study with his father-in-law's consent.

Different from the last time I saw him in Haizhou, my father-in-law is in good spirits, but his face is not very good-looking, and he looks much older.

Not yet eighty years old, Li Yuanlang was saddened by his father-in-law's changes.

No matter how powerful a person is, he cannot resist the passage of time.

"Dad, did you sleep well last night?"

Lu Linsong took off his reading glasses, put down the thread-bound book, leaned on the chair, pinched the center of his eyebrows with his right hand, and said with emotion: "Sleep is still the same, how can I sleep, it is only five or six hours a day. If you sleep too much during the day, you must sleep at night.

No. I don’t even take a lunch break now, otherwise, it would be too uncomfortable to toss and turn at night.”

"Looking at your complexion, it looks much better than in Haizhou." Li Yuanlang sat on the chair next to his father-in-law and filled his father-in-law's water glass with water.

"Xiaoqing said you flew back last night. Will it open the day after tomorrow? You should go early so that the Lanqiao side won't be affected."

"I have arranged everything." Li Yuanlang said truthfully: "Lanqiao is on the right track. The mayor and I have a tacit cooperation and the relationship has been smoothed out a long time ago."

"That's good. You can't delay work because of personal matters, especially at this moment."

Following Lu Linsong's lead, Li Yuanlang talked about his feelings.

"Dad, this conference is unprecedentedly grand. Zhang Hanqi, Chen Zifeng and other old comrades all came to participate, which shows how much Comrade Jinfeng attaches great importance to it."

"You are ill, and it is easy for the outside world to misunderstand that there is a rift between you and Comrade Jin Feng."

"The situation is complicated now. Some foreign forces are making irresponsible remarks and pointing fingers at us. Even if there is nothing, they want to make something happen."

"Moreover, some irresponsible self-media anchors in China, in order to gain attention, talk nonsense, confuse the public, and lead people who don't know the truth to follow suit. You must consider all of these."

"You care about the people of the world, and you are an old comrade and leader who has worked for many years. For the sake of the overall situation, and for the sake of our prosperous country, you put aside all ideological baggage and go into battle lightly, so that everyone can see a united group and a team that carries forward the past and opens up the future.

A new era.”

"Dad, I am not making a report to you, let alone playing tricks. I am not worthy or qualified in front of you. As your son-in-law, your family, and your descendant, I sincerely hope you are happy and happy."

Speaking of this, Li Yuanlang secretly glanced at the change in Lu Linsong's expression.

Obviously, Li Yuanlang's words caused a big stir in Lu Linsong's mind.

Not straightforward, but very meaningful.

Lu Linsong was lying on the recliner, looking at the ceiling, and a great struggle flashed in his heart.

Li Yuanlang didn't say anything, just observed him and paid attention to him.

After a while, Lu Linsong suddenly smiled.

Although the smile was a bit forced, at least the sadness on his face gradually eased.

"On the contrary, I have made progress in my political and ideological work as a secretary. Yuen Long, I agree with most of what you just said, and it makes sense."

"Yeah, I was stuck in a corner before and couldn't get out. The closer the day of the meeting gets, the more I spiral in the maze."

"There are some things that I can't say to anyone. I can only keep them in my heart and digest them myself. As my status increases, fewer and fewer people talk to me intimately."

"Xiaoqing is my daughter and understands my temperament. But after all, she is outside the system. She has not experienced the things here, so naturally she can't tell the truth."

"I know that she is worried about my health and even more worried about my current situation. In fact, unlike what you think, Comrade Jinfeng is quite concerned about me."

"Comrade Tianhe has been sent to visit me again and again, and I have been consulted by authoritative experts in the field of heart disease who are renowned in the country. Looking at other veteran comrades in Beijing, my treatment is at the top of the list in the eyes of Comrade Jinfeng."

"I know you are different from them. What you care about is my body, not my refusal due to illness. In fact, this kind of concern has existed for a long time."

"I always think about the bad things. I didn't realize that I would attract so much attention."

"No one is perfect, and I am no exception. The last time I was sick and hospitalized, it not only hurt my body, but also affected my character."

"I can feel it myself. There is always an unknown fire coming out. I feel so suffocated that I want to release it."

"The staff who served me did not make any mistakes. I can't scold them for nothing. I had no choice but to get angry at Xiaoqing and the people closest to me."

"Once my anger was vented, I immediately felt relaxed and very comfortable. The doctor said this was a disease, a sequelae of my previous illness."

"But it's much better now. You taught me a lesson in the face of big things, right and wrong, and gave me a new understanding of myself and this conference."

Lu Linsong stretched out his right hand, and Li Yuanlang quickly took it with both hands.
