After returning from visiting the grave on the mountain, he nodded in agreement about Li Xiangdong and Aunt Wang.
Li Xiangdong was still hesitant at first, but after Li Longtu told him that he had asked his mother when he visited the grave, the burden on the old man's heart was reduced a lot.
Logically speaking, Li Longtu's mother has been gone for so many years, and Li Xiangdong should have found a wife long ago.
But he didn't do that.
The reason was that he was thinking about Li Longtu's mother.
Sometimes, it's not who limits you, but you choose to draw a wall as a prison.
Li Xiangdong is like this. He is not good at expressing his longing for his deceased wife, and he cannot express it. He has buried it in his heart for a long time, but it has become a shackles in life.
Fortunately, I have Li Longtu to enlighten me.
In the end, it was Li Xiangdong who agreed with his talk, his emotions, and his rationale.
Since both parties have that intention, time is wasted.
Get it done before the Chinese New Year.
It just so happened that the Spring Festival was approaching and the village was full of people.
Hundreds of people, old and young, came, and the banquet was empty for more than a dozen tables, almost not enough.
Of course, Li Longtu took care of the banquet.
After all, this is a second marriage, so keep everything simple.
There is no need for a warm-up emcee or a wedding officiant, everyone just comes to support and have a meal.
The woman's intention is also simple, just get married in the presence of relatives.
If the entire process is carried out, both people and money will suffer.
Li Longtu is not afraid of spending money. Life now is not like before, where he lives frugally.
Even if the wedding is simple, it must be formal.
There are no partial seats at the banquet, nor is it flowing water. Everyone just comes and sits down casually in the courtyard, chatting and waiting.
After Li Longtu came on stage and announced the wedding, everyone started moving their chopsticks.
Then the newlyweds, oh no, a pair of old people came up to express their thanks, and then toasted to each table.
That's it for a simple and formal country wedding.
But Li Longtu's family is different from others.
Everyone came and wanted to get close to the father and son.
Li Xiangdong was happy, so he kept socializing and drank a lot of wine. Finally, with the support of his wife Wang Mei, he returned to the room.
After everyone dispersed, Li Longtu and some of his close neighbors stayed behind to clean up.
After working for about an hour and cleaning up the yard, he took a look at the villa, thought about sending a message to his father, and then left.
Today is my father's happy day, so don't disturb others.
Li Longtu didn't drink much and was still very sober. He and Chen Mengke didn't go home, but drove to the city to buy some new year goods.
It was said to be New Year's goods, but they had everything at home and there was no need to buy anything. The two of them came to the market just to wander around and buy a few sets of clothes.
After all, they can't just sit back and relax in Gary.
However, after they arrived in Lianzhou City, they did not rush to the shopping mall or specialty store. Instead, they arrived at Lanting and booked a good room.
They didn't plan to go back today, so they spent the night in the city.
When coming out of the Lanting Hotel, Chen Mengke got on the bus first, while Li Longtu smoked a cigarette and chatted with the lobby manager.
The person on duty today is the young manager who came to the bureau to take notes.
The two were smoking and chatting at the door.
"The boss also deducted your salary?
You can tell him that this incident was caused by me, and if it doesn't work, I will make up for your salary."
Li Longtu was polite.
The young manager smiled:
"Mr. Li, what are you talking about?"
"It's not you who made trouble in the hotel."
"When my boss heard my report, he didn't say he would deduct it. He even praised me for doing a good job and not hurting you, even though no one can hurt you."
Li Longtu raised his eyebrows:
"You're getting better and better at talking, and your achievements will be huge in the future."
The young manager suddenly looked flattered:
"Mr. Li, please remember what you said today."
"Hey, if I don't succeed, I'll look for you."
Li Longtu pouted:
"Okay, come here and I can arrange work for you."
"But in that case, your boss won't be able to call you a white-eyed wolf?"
The young manager lowered his head and smoked the cigarette vigorously, as if the cigarette Li Longtu gave him was a treasure:
"Hey hey hey..."
"By the way, Mr. Li, when I was in the bureau that day, I was taking notes with others."
"Guess what?
The director who caused the trouble was pushed out of the car and shouted at the entrance of the bureau, "Ah, I am the director of Jincheng, you little bastards dare to arrest me?"
Call your leader over, I want to talk to him face to face."
Li Longtu chuckled:
"I guess he must have alerted the leaders later."
"you do not say!"
The young manager continued:
"He not only alarmed the leaders of the bureau, but also took away all the top leaders in our city."
Li Longtu narrowed his eyes:
"Old Zhang?
How will this matter be handled after he passes?"
The young manager shook his head:
"Then I'm not sure."
"However, I heard from the rumors that Tao He needs to stay in there for at least a while."
"But he is really not a good person. He seems to have some connection with the capital, otherwise he wouldn't be able to live so freely in Jincheng."
"Moreover, I have long heard from some people that the movies he made are not very good. They say they are literary and artistic, but in fact they have no technical content at all, and he always likes to find the kind of particularly delicate heroines... Sir,
You know."
Li Longtu nodded slightly:
"Haha, no."
As soon as he finished smoking, Li Longtu put out the cigarette, threw it into the trash can next to him, and said:
"It's almost the Spring Festival, you still don't have a holiday?"
The young manager was helpless and said with a sad face:
"There's nothing I can do, let's make money."
"The capitalists are exploiting us and beating up our workers, alas."
Li Longtu waved his hand:
"gone."
"Sir, please slow down."
Back in the car, Li Longtu took out his cell phone and called the capital.
The person on the other end quickly connected, with a hint of surprise in his tone:
"Mr. Long Tu, the Chinese New Year is almost here, why did you remember to call me?"
Lin Feng.
The head of the Lin family in Beijing.
"Let me ask you about someone."
"Sir, tell me."
"Tao He, a director in Jincheng, seems to be quite famous."
There was silence on the other side.
"Um?"
Li Longtu was confused.
Lin Feng quickly replied, his tone a little solemn:
"Mr. Longtu, could it be that you have a grudge against him?"
"It doesn't count."
"Tao He, everyone in the circle knows what he is, but no one has ever done anything to him. It's not that everyone is afraid of him, but they are afraid of the Tao family behind him."
What kind of family is this?
What about the whole life?
"Who is the Tao family?"
Lin Feng quickly replied:
"The Tao family is very low-key in the capital, but its strength cannot be underestimated. They are present in the film and television circles across China."
"But in fact, there are foreign investors behind the Tao family."
