At noon that day, in the banquet hall of the city guest house, all the guests attended the welcome luncheon held by the municipal party committee and government.

Nearly 70 people from all walks of life, including leaders of the four major teams of Deping City and guests from all walks of life attending the opening ceremony of the museum, were present.

There were seven tables in the huge banquet hall, and they were all packed.

Before the banquet began, Li Yuanlang made a welcome speech on behalf of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government.

Today's occasion is different from the past, and a report has been made to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision in advance.

It’s not that you can drink in large amounts, it doesn’t hurt to drink less.

Luo Min's face was red and she was in a good mood.

I drank a little less red wine and chatted and laughed with the Beijing Cultural Relics Bureau and Deputy Director Qian and others.

Chen Yushu and Li Yuanlang stayed at this table. During this period, Li Yuanlang secretly chatted with the museum director about many topics.

The guests drank and chatted happily, the scene was warm and the atmosphere was harmonious.

The banquet lasted for an hour and a half.

Luo Min still had to inspect work in Deping City, while Deputy Director Qian and other foreign guests had lunch and left one after another.

After sending these people away, Li Yuanlang did not relax.

He knew that Luo Min's next inspection of Deping City would be the top priority.

According to the schedule, Luo Min has no plans this afternoon.

After all, if you drink alcohol and smell of alcohol on your body, it will have bad effects after all.

Therefore, Li Yuanlang was able to rest in the guest house room and have a peaceful sleep.

Just as I was squinting, there was a knock on the door.

When he opened the door, he saw Zhan Xiaoqiang, who was holding a mobile phone and looking panicked.

"What's the matter?" Li Yuanlang frowned.

Zhan Xiaoqiang quickly handed over the phone and said nervously: "Secretary Chen's phone number."

"Hey, Secretary Chen." Li Yuanlang was surprised when he heard Chen Yushu's words.

"Mayor Li, Luo Province is going to Gaolin County immediately for inspection. Please accompany me. I drank at noon and have a headache."

Luo Min will go to Gaolin County immediately?

Did she advance her schedule?

Li Yuanlang was surprised, but couldn't say anything.

The most important thing is that Chen Yushu acted like a coward at this time, which also surprised Li Yuanlang.

You know, since Luo Min came here, Chen Yushu has never left his side, and he is more concerned about him than ever.

Take it one step at a time, that's all.

Chen Yushu continued: "Luo Sheng's intention was not to notify the local government when she went to Gaolin County. She went to Luojia Village in a private capacity and in a low-key manner. So Mayor Li, this is a great test for us."

"Secretary Chen, we must resolutely implement Luo Province's instructions. But... if we don't notify the Gaolin County Party Committee and County Government, it will be difficult to handle if something goes wrong."

Luo Min suddenly changed his schedule, and Li Yuanlang always had a bad feeling.

"You are worrying too much." Chen Yushu said confidently: "Before, Gaolin County has made all-round preparations and drills in accordance with the deployment of the municipal party committee. Now it is only two days in advance, so there will be no trouble. You can rest assured."

Having said that, Li Yuanlang finally had his heart hanging in his throat.

This time, Luo Min was more simple and obedient.

There was only one guide car and the minibus.

Not all of her entourage were called, only Deputy Secretary-General Wu of the provincial government and her secretary.

In addition to Li Yuanlang, the Deping Municipal Government was also accompanied by Deputy Mayor Lou Tianyuan and Government Secretary-General Xu Guangshui.

Together, there will be no more than eight people.

On the way, Li Yuanlang secretly observed Luo Min from time to time, hoping to find out from her expression the answer to why he went to Luojia Village in advance.

But Li Yuanlang was disappointed, and Luo Min looked calm and could not see any clues.

It's not far from Deping City to Gaolin County on the expressway, just over an hour's drive.

The minibus got off the expressway and did not enter the urban area of ​​Gaolin County. Instead, it took the ring road and went straight to Guanping Town.

It took less than half an hour to pass through Guanping Town and continue all the way to the destination, Luojia Village.

After driving for another twenty minutes, Luo Min looked at a group of buildings that gradually appeared in front of him and said to himself: "We are finally here."

Deputy Secretary-General Wu asked curiously: "Luo Province, is your hometown Luojia Village in front of you?"

Luo Min nodded, "Yes, it's Luojia Village where I was born and raised."

As her voice fell, the minibus had already arrived at the entrance of the village.

To everyone's surprise, a large group of people stood darkly at the entrance of the village.

Seeing the motorcade approaching slowly, someone immediately waved.

Men and women dressed in white clothes and trousers, with red belts and waist drums tied around their waists, began to dance in unison to the beat of a big red drum not far away.

The sound of drums is accompanied by the movement of waist drums. The waist drum team of about twenty or thirty people, with drumsticks and red belts flying up and down, is very bright and spectacular.

Luo Min couldn't help but stand up, looking at the front windshield with excitement in his eyes.

However, her face quickly darkened, and she turned around and asked Li Yuanlang coldly, "Aren't we not allowed to alarm the villagers? Comrade Li Yuanlang, were you the one who let the news out?"

Li Yuanlang calmly replied: "Luo Sheng, you have misunderstood. This is not the news we reported in advance."

Deputy Secretary-General Wu quickly interjected and explained, "I'm sorry, Luo Province. Among your closest relatives in Luojia Village, only your cousin Luo Gui is still in Luojia Village. I think I have to tell him in advance that there is a

Prepare, so without your consent..."

Luo Min waved his hand, "Let's get out of the car."

So, with Luo Min in front and Li Yuanlang following closely behind, everyone got off the minibus.

Luo Min and others stood in front of the waist drum team and carefully watched everyone's performance to welcome her.

At this time, the newly appointed village party secretary and the newly elected village director led the whole village, men, women and children, and gathered around with banners welcoming Luo Min.

With smiles on their faces, the village party secretary and village director stepped forward to introduce themselves, shook hands with Luo Min, Li Yuen Long and others and said hello.

The scene was very lively.

Luo Min was in a very good mood. After shaking hands with the village cadres, she clasped her hands together and expressed her gratitude to the villagers present. "Fellows, you still disturbed everyone to welcome me in such a cold weather. Thank you, thank you."

The village party secretary said on behalf of the villagers: "Luo Province is the first big cadre and leader to come out of our Luojia Village. He is the pride of all Luojia villagers. Time is short and we were not prepared. We ask for Luo Province's forgiveness."

The village director also expressed his opinion at the side, "Luo Province, originally we had to hold a larger welcome ceremony, because some people were unable to attend due to temporary commitments, so we had to keep it simple."

"It's good enough." Luo Min agreed with satisfaction.

"Luo Sheng, let's go sit at the village committee. It's cold outside."

So, at the suggestion of the village party secretary, everyone gathered around Luo Min, Li Yuanlang and others and walked to the village committee of Luojia Village.

On the way, Luo Min looked at the appearance of Luojia Village and sighed: "Luojia Village has changed so much. It has become much better than before."

The village party secretary and the village director introduced the situation in the village to Luo Min from time to time. Especially when passing a tall courtyard made of green bricks on the roadside, the village party secretary introduced: "Luo Sheng, this is your home, do you remember it?"

Luo Min stood at the door of the compound, looked around, shook his head and said: "My house used to be a thatched house, and the yard was built with adobe. This..."

The village director smiled and explained, "The original thatched cottage in your home has long since collapsed. This is a new home built for you with the village's own funds."

Luo Min was surprised and asked worriedly: "Self-raised funds? This is not good. My parents are gone long ago, and my brothers and sisters have all moved away from Luojia Village. It is a waste to build such a house without anyone living in it."

"Furthermore, the villagers spent their own money to build a house for my family. It is neither reasonable nor reasonable to do so. The house should be disposed of immediately and the money from the sale of the house should be distributed to the villagers."

But the village director said: "Luo Sheng, you are a senior official in our province, but you are also from Luojia Village. Just talk about me. In terms of seniority, I have to call you grandma."

"It is only natural that the younger generation should pay for the elders to build a house. Moreover, the funds we raised by ourselves are on a voluntary basis. If it is not a family member named Luo, we will not accept it."

The village party secretary added: "Yes, you are our elder and a role model for the Luo family. If I do anything for you, the Luo family will have no complaints, only honor and pride."

The flattery from these two village cadres made Luo Min smile.

Seeing that the time was ripe, the village director opened the courtyard door and invited Luo Min and others to visit.

I have to say that Luo Min’s new house is really beautifully built.

The courtyard is paved with uniform gray floor tiles, the house is tall and spectacular, and the windows are bright and clean.

There is nothing like what it once was, only the ground beneath our feet.

Luo Min looked around with great interest, and then instructed the village cadres on the spot that the house here cannot be left empty, and that orphaned elderly people with no children must be arranged to live in it.

The village party secretary and director nodded repeatedly, indicating that they would comply with the instructions.
Chapter completed!
