Looking at Lu Weimin and Zhen Ni's figures disappearing at the door, Le Qing gave her husband a complicated look, "Old Zhen, do you really plan to let Lu Weimin and Zhen Ni continue like this?"
"What's wrong with that?" Zhen Jingcai said somewhat impatiently.
"But they are hundreds of miles apart, and didn't you say that Damin seems unwilling to return to the factory? If this drags on, how can they live apart after getting married?"
Of course, Zhen Jingcai understood his wife's thoughts. She looked down on the Lu family's background. Women often have short-sighted views, only seeing the present.
The Lu family, to be fair, was indeed a bit thin in terms of resources, and it seemed somewhat mismatched with their own family. However, Lu Zongguang had been a model worker for many years, and all four of the Lu family's children were graduates of key universities.
The eldest, Lu Yongjun, graduated from Tsinghua University a few years ago and is already the deputy director of a workshop at the Red Flag Machinery Factory. The second daughter, Lu Zhihua, graduated from East China Normal University and seems to have returned to Liyang, though the situation is not very clear. The youngest, Lu Aiguo, is still studying at Zhejiang University. Four top graduates from one family can certainly be considered a glory for Factory 195.
More importantly, Lu Weimin's impression completely overturned Zhen Jingcai's previous feelings. If Zhen Jingcai had previously been indifferent about Lu Weimin and Zhen Ni dating, after Lu Weimin helped him through his difficulties, Zhen Jingcai became very interested in him.
A young man who just graduated from university can reach the ears of the central government and the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. Regardless of whose influence he used, the fact that he could achieve this means he is not an ordinary person. His ambitions are not small, and if Zhen Ni can really be with him, it would be a good match.
Zhen Jingcai was somewhat worried that his young daughter was a bit flighty and lacked stability. Lu Weimin is now in a remote mountainous area, and Zhen Ni might not be able to endure it, so he had to remind his daughter from time to time.
"What do you know?! Can a long-distance relationship last forever? Lu Weimin is smart, has a degree, and is capable. His future is limitless. I tell you, my eyes won't be wrong in this matter. Lu Weimin is more than a match for our Zhen Ni. I'm even worried that Zhen Ni might not be good enough for him."
Zhen Jingcai was being honest. Zhen Ni's character was somewhat unpredictable. To put it nicely, she hasn't settled down yet; to put it harshly, she is somewhat vain. Zhen Jingcai was also helpless about this. In comparison, Zhen Jie was much more sensible in this regard.
Seeing her husband belittle her daughter, Le Qing was so angry that she turned her face away and stopped speaking. It was Zhen Jie who timely came in from the next room and changed the subject, "Dad, is there any problem with what Damin said?"
"There shouldn't be much of a problem. Damin just went to Nantang County, and he dares to take on this responsibility. He's quite brave, and he's not afraid of being overwhelmed. But this guy is smart. If he can handle this well, he might earn a good impression from the county leaders. I have to help him a bit." Zhen Jingcai actually liked his eldest daughter the most. She was calm and somewhat similar to himself.
Lu Weimin felt as if his whole body was burning. Although they had only been apart for less than a month, it felt like an eternity to him. Zhen Ni's eyes were filled with affection, her face flushed, clearly showing her intense emotions.
Kissing from Zhen Ni's cherry lips, her neck, and her earlobes down to her chest, her rapid breathing was like a powerful aphrodisiac, stimulating Lu Weimin's will to the limit.
There were many places along the Wuyou River suitable for couples to enjoy privately. It was said to be one of the most popular measures by the Changzhou municipal government. Along the Wuyou River, hundreds of stone benches were distributed among the dense ornamental trees and shrubs. In summer, this place became a paradise for couples, and even homeless children would occupy the seats and "transfer" them to couples eager to find a place for intimate moments for three to five yuan. This phenomenon continued even when Lu Weimin served as the acting district chief of Wuyou in his previous life.
Lu Weimin felt himself constantly changing, from initial confusion to full engagement, and then from engagement to a state where one foot was outside and one foot was inside. This world always brought him too many feelings.
Indeed, no one could easily pull themselves out of such changes. Whether to go in or come out, it all depends on one's mental fortitude, which not everyone can easily achieve.
But when facing Zhen Ni, Lu Weimin found himself truly forgetting everything before. Perhaps this was the unique feeling of first love.
Perhaps Zhen Ni might not always follow him, and Lu Weimin had already vaguely sensed Zhen Jingcai's concerns about whether they could last. But he still very much enjoyed and cherished the feeling of having this girl in his control.
"Damin, now you've really become my dad's favorite, even more so than me. He keeps asking me if I've called you and if we've been in touch. I don't know if he's afraid you'll change your heart or if he's worried I'll ignore you." Zhen Ni, lying in Lu Weimin's arms, her eyes filled with affection, her smile captivating, made any man want to pin her down immediately.
"What do you think?" Lu Weimin's heart stirred slightly.
"I don't know, but I don't know what kind of magic you've cast on my dad. He really values you now. I asked him when he would transfer you back, and he said it depends on whether you're willing. Do you think my dad is testing you or something?" The girl lightly slapped the hand that was roaming under her T-shirt, pouting, "I'm being serious. You can't stay in Nantang forever, right?"
"Xiao Ni, I just started working. I should stay for at least one or two years. Your dad can transfer me back, but he also needs to consider the timing, right?" Lu Weimin chose his words carefully, "Besides, I think we're still young. If we really get married, it will be a few more years. I can work harder and come back more often. They say that short separations are like new marriages. If I come back every so often, won't it be even better?"
Lu Weimin's words about short separations made the girl's face flush. She squeezed his waist hard, making him wince, and they inevitably shared another moment of intimacy.
"Tomorrow at noon, my parents are going to a colleague's child's wedding, and my sister has plans with her classmates. You can come over." The girl, sensing her lover's growing desire, her face flushed with affection, whispered in his ear.
