Everyone present opened their eyes wide at the same time.

Many people showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

That’s it, that’s it!

With such an awesome dad, it’s no wonder he could raise such an awesome son.

This is what we call "family education" and "son following in father's footsteps"!

The father is the first secretary of the prefectural party committee and the son is the county party committee secretary. There is nothing wrong with that!

Liu Hongyi was about to continue speaking when he saw someone peeking outside the meeting room. Upon closer inspection, he found that it was an "old acquaintance".

Wei Mingjiang!

I raised my wrist to check my watch and realized it was almost six o'clock in the afternoon.

Wei Mingjiang came to pick him up to have New Year's Eve dinner at his home.

Liu Hongyi immediately stood up and took the initiative to step forward.

"Teacher Wei, why are you here?"

Wei Mingjiang was supported by his mother and walked slowly with a cane. Although the Qixing Brigade was right on the edge of Qingqiao Town, it took him more than half an hour to walk from his home.

Wei Mingjiang and Peng Xiaoju were overwhelmed with emotion upon seeing Liu Hongyi. Peng Xiaoju even burst into tears and couldn't help but bow repeatedly to Liu Hongyi. Wei Mingjiang said respectfully, "Secretary Liu, the district officials said you were coming to my house for New Year's Eve dinner... We've been preparing since this morning... It's almost dark now, so I came to the district to inquire if it's true... The district officials said you were coming to the tea oil factory..."

This is an honest man who speaks the truth.

Liu Hongyi said with some remorse, "It's my fault... I was having a meeting with everyone here, forgot the time, and didn't send anyone to tell you in advance, so you had to make this trip."

It would be fine if Wei Mingjiang was able to move well, but the problem is that his old injury has not healed and his body is still very weak.

Wei Mingjiang bowed again and said repeatedly, "Secretary Liu, please don't say that. It's a huge honor and a great joy that you can come to my house for New Year's Eve dinner. Our whole family is so happy. Really, we're so happy... My mom and my wife have cried several times... They're really happy!"

"Our whole family is deeply grateful for your kindness..."

Liu Hongyi said shamefacedly, "Teacher Wei, please don't say that. It's because some of us didn't do our job well and colluded with criminals that you suffered so much. We should apologize to you."

"You don't need to thank me at all. I'm the county party secretary, and this is what I'm supposed to do."

Liu Hongyi spoke very sincerely, without any affectation.

Wei Mingjiang said seriously: "Secretary Liu, it's different!"

“There’s a difference between county party secretaries and county party secretaries!”

"Yuan Hongjie is also the county party secretary. After I was wrongfully arrested, my family, my parents, went to see him at least three or four times, but he ignored us and even had them kicked out my wife, my parents, and me... If you hadn't come, I, Wei Mingjiang, would be dead now, shot..."

"You are truly my savior!"

"Kindness without saying thanks!"

"I will remember your kindness to me all my life..."

Liu Hongyi held his disabled hands, patted them gently a few times, and sighed in his heart.

Wei Mingjiang's eyes were filled with tears.

Since Wei Mingjiang had already arrived at the tea oil factory, the meeting had to be suspended. Liu Hongyi, Wei Yinghong, Chen Jiefang, the mayor of Qingqiao District, the internal security chief of the county public security bureau, and the car driver went to the Qixing Brigade and Wei Mingjiang's home to have the New Year's Eve dinner.

The other comrades went back to their homes and had their own reunion dinners.

The tea oil factory is very close to Wei Mingjiang's home in the Qixing Brigade, about ten minutes' walk away, but this is the normal walking speed of an adult.

Liu Hongyi asked Wei Mingjiang to take the car.

Wei Mingjiang refused resolutely.

Finally, Liu Hongyi got in the car with him, and the older Qingqiao District Mayor, Wei Yinghong, Chen Jiefang and other younger people went there on foot.

The jeep sped up and arrived at the Seven Star Brigade almost at the same time as the people on foot.
