Chapter 99: Double Happiness

November 22, 2012, the ninth day of the tenth lunar month, is the "Light Snow" in the twenty-four solar terms. It is suitable for praying for blessings, seeking heirs, traveling, seeking wealth, engagement, and marriage!

After work, after Gao Yuanfei left, Lu Fan hurriedly went to the Ningyang Hotel. Deputy Secretary Bian Jide, the matchmaker, had already gone there to greet a group of relatives for Lu Fan.

Just out of the gate, he saw Chen Liqiong standing there waiting.

"Liqiong, didn't you get off work long ago?"

Chen Liqiong laughed: "I want to go with you! Brother Fan, according to the customs here, once engaged, we are a family, and we can get a marriage certificate!"

"Why? No confidence in me?"

"Of course not, I just feel so happy. I have a partner to spend my life with, and I have found a shoulder to rely on. From now on, we will buy groceries together after work, go home and cook together, take walks together, chase dramas together, travel together, and do the things we want to do together!"

"Liqiong, I know that marriage is a promise, a responsibility, and a companionship of mutual support. What I dream of is fireworks in the kitchen at home and concern and greetings outside. Please rest assured, I will guard you for a lifetime and guard our marriage!"

"Hmm, I believe in you, let's go quickly, everyone must be in a hurry."

Entering the private room, Lu Fan found that there were not many people. This was Chen Liqiong's special request to her parents, because Lu Fan's family only had his second uncle and second aunt, and she didn't want "many people bullying few people", so she only invited her uncle and uncle. The family heads and uncles were all there, and the etiquette was not lost.

Lu Fan apologized repeatedly: "I'm really sorry, I'm late for such an important occasion, please forgive me, uncle and aunt."

Bian Jide laughed: "Xiao Fan, your work situation is special, everyone can understand. Also, what did you just call? What is the occasion today? Why don't you change your address?"

Lu Fan was a little embarrassed, and immediately said: "Dad, Mom, thank you for cultivating such a good Liqiong, letting me meet a good girl whose eyes are full of me, and giving me the opportunity to become the happiest person. From today on, you are not missing a daughter, but gaining a son. I will love her and love her like you, and will not let her suffer any grievances. I will also respect you and take care of you like she does!"

Chen Dad said with satisfaction: "Xiao Fan, we are very at ease with you. Liqiong was spoiled by her mother and me since she was a child, sometimes very willful and lazy. I hope you can always respect and love each other, care for each other, tolerate each other, and understand each other in life. I sincerely hope you can be happy, affectionate, and grow old together!"

"Dad, Mom, don't worry, I will definitely be able to do it!"

Two big red envelopes appeared in front of his eyes. Lu Fan accepted them without hesitation and called out generously: "Dad, Mom!"

Then, Chen Dad introduced other relatives. Lu Fan simply let go and called whatever he should call. Anyway, there were red envelopes to take.

Next, it was Chen Liqiong recognizing relatives and changing her address. But Lu Fan's parents were no longer there, so she only called his second uncle and second aunt, but his second uncle gave red envelopes on behalf of his big brother and sister-in-law.

Next, Bian Jide presided over the engagement ceremony. The betrothal gifts were agreed upon in advance, there was no dispute, Chen Liqiong bought the three golds herself, and Lu Fan's salary card was given to her.

The whole engagement proceeded in a harmonious atmosphere, mainly because the Chen family was satisfied with this son-in-law, and the etiquette was just right.

Both sides were very satisfied with the County Party Committee Deputy Secretary as a matchmaker, and both felt that they had face and were more optimistic about Lu Fan's future.

After the engagement, Lu Fan needed to choose a lucky day to marry Chen Liqiong into his home. After the day was chosen, he still needed to formally go to the woman's door to inform her.

Just like this, the zither and the zither are in harmony, and the fates of the two are intertwined. Fate is really wonderful, making two unrelated people know, know, and love each other through various changes in circumstances, or perhaps two people who were originally in love in their previous lives have been searching bitterly, finally getting what they wanted, bypassing thousands of mountains and rivers, and finally finding each other after twists and turns, to fulfill their unfinished love.

After the engagement banquet, Chen Liqiong followed Lu Fan home openly, and her father and mother could only pretend not to see or hear.

The next morning, County Party Committee Secretary Gao Yuanfei suddenly convened the County Head, Deputy Secretary, Organization Department Head, and Discipline Inspection Secretary to hold a five-person group meeting, and the confidentiality was done to the end.

At the meeting, the Organization Department Head reported the cadre adjustment plan. The top priority was that Deputy Director of the County Party Committee Office Lu Fan would serve as the Baishu Bay Party Committee Secretary. Only Discipline Inspection Secretary Luo Linghai was a bit surprised, and the others knew it in their hearts.

The arm cannot twist the thigh. The cadre adjustment plan was passed smoothly. After the five people signed, Organization Department Head Hao Qiang personally took the plan to the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department. The whole process was little known.

On the afternoon of November 24, the County Party Committee Organization Department suddenly established three inspection groups to inspect the personnel in the plan. Only then did the news spread in the county compound, and personnel began to move!

The inspection group came to the County Party Committee Office, and after talking with Director Guo Tongyu, conducted a comprehensive inspection of Deputy Director Lu Fan.

The colleagues were not surprised at all. Lu Fan is a Deputy Director, and he must be promoted to the section level when the time comes. This is an expected thing. How many Deputy Directors of the County Party Committee Office have you seen who are at the deputy section level? Not to mention that he is the Secretary's secretary, so solving the level is reasonable.

After a year, Lu Fan experienced organizational inspection for the third time.

However, after the inspection announcement was posted on the office door, everyone was not calm. This is not just a promotion to the section level, but a one-step achievement!

A stone stirred up a thousand waves. After the news spread from the county compound, it spread rapidly throughout the county. Cadres and the masses were amazed that Ningyang had produced another township secretary in his twenties, because the Deputy Director of the County Party Committee Office sent down is generally given a secretary position. Not to mention that he is the County Party Committee Secretary's secretary, would he go to be a township mayor?

With District Head Hongtao as a pearl in front, Ningyang people have tolerance for this kind of bizarre use of people. Many people are happy to see it happen and look forward to Ningyang producing another Wang Hongtao.

At the same time, there are many people who speak cool words. What kind of County Party Committee Secretary's secretary, he can use him however he wants. His hair hasn't grown yet, does he know how to do township work? If he really wants to use him, can't he learn for two years in the mayor's position? I don't know which township is going to be unlucky!

The most anxious are the township secretaries. Lu Fan's sending down is a foregone conclusion, so a township secretary must be adjusted. Who could it be? Where will he go?

Unfortunately, the confidentiality of this personnel adjustment was done too well, and not a single bit of news leaked out. Some secretaries went to the Organization Department Head to inquire about news, but the Minister kept his mouth shut, and not a single hair could be asked.

Just like this, in the speculation, Lu Fan's publicity period passed day by day.

Her boyfriend was promoted to the section level, and Chen Liqiong's family was very happy. Before getting married, her son-in-law became a township secretary, and he will definitely have a bright future!

To celebrate, Chen Liqiong's parents made a table of dishes and called Lu Fan home. They had already regarded Lu Fan as their son-in-law and wanted to let the "hairy-footed son-in-law" feel the warmth of home.

While eating, Chen Dad said with a smile: "Xiao Fan, I think you and Liqiong should get the marriage certificate first!"

Lu Fan said: "Okay, Dad, I'll see when Secretary Gao is not busy, and I'll take time to go out. You also know that the Secretary cannot do without people, and now it is a critical moment, I must stand the last shift."

Chen Dad said with satisfaction: "I heard them say that you are going down to be a township secretary. I simply can't believe it. Xiao Fan, you are too promising. It is not easy to get to this step without roots or duckweed. I believe you will definitely have great prospects, and being a secretary or county head is not a problem!"

Then he gave instructions to his daughter: "Liqiong, Xiao Fan is about to be promoted. You must understand and support his work. It is not easy for a man to fight outside. You must ensure the logistics, don't let Xiao Fan worry about trivial family matters. Men are used to do big things!"

Chen Liqiong laughed: "Dad, don't worry, I'm not ignorant."

"The house of the Grain Bureau is not small. Clean it up well as a wedding room. See what electrical appliances are missing, and Dad will buy them for you. Xiao Fan, have you picked the wedding day?"

Lu Fan said: "It's not very suitable recently. After all, I was just promoted, and my age is not very convincing, so I have to be low-key. I found a fortune teller, and the eighth day of the first lunar month next year is a day. Do you think it will work?"

"Ambition does not depend on age, and those without ambition live in vain for a hundred years. Don't pay attention to those idle words. They are all salty radishes and light worries. In a few days, no one will discuss it. The eighth day of the first lunar month, hmm, a good day, it's only two or three months, just prepare what should be prepared during this time. Xiao Fan, you don't need to worry about anything. You don't understand many etiquette, we will handle it."

Lu Fan said gratefully: "Dad, Mom, thank you!"

"A family doesn't say two families' words. You work hard. As long as you live happily, we are satisfied!"

Promotion and marriage, two major events in life followed one after another. Happiness and joy collided, double happiness, double happiness, blessing bonus, all the beauty gathered together, making Lu Fan feel the beauty of life!

Rating, five-star rating is needed, thank you for your support!
