[Volume 2: Passionate Maple Leaves] Chapter 1: One Step at a Time (3)

The morning sunlight pierced through the curtains, waking up the new day. Dong Na, nestled in Lao Li's arms, opened her eyes at this moment. The slightly hazy world gradually became clear before her eyes, and Dong Na met Lao Li's warm and loving eyes.

The gentle warmth like the morning sun, the fatherly and brotherly love that permeated her heart, when all of this was so deeply imprinted in her heart, a title that almost slipped out rolled around in Dong Na's throat a few times before she swallowed it back. She huddled even deeper in Lao Li's arms, feeling the tension of the man's chest against her chest, and slightly opened her legs, allowing the man's large hands, which had been there since early morning, to gently and conveniently dispel the faint pain that had been coming her way... She

shyly let Lao Li give her body The most secret and shy garden on her body underwent the most meticulous examination, and she shyly kept her eyes tightly closed. Her small hands almost unconsciously grabbed and ruffled Old Li's hair, letting his hot and moist tongue evenly and greedily apply warm healing medicine to her messy, slightly injured garden... In the morning,

more than a dozen teams that had passed the preliminary selection were rehearsing in the auditorium of No. 14 Middle School for the evening's official performance, and the order of appearance was determined by drawing lots.

According to the rehearsal order, Old Xu Jiu drew the second to last performance of No. 33 Middle School in the first half. After all the participating teams had gone through the stage and the specific performance time of each program was confirmed, the morning rehearsal ended.

Whether to go back to their own school or find a temporary place nearby to rest and prepare for the afternoon performance, Old Li was just about to ask Old Xu for his opinion on this issue when several people came up to Old Li and his group.

Although Lao Li wasn't very familiar with the vice principal of No. 14 Middle School, they had met a few times. Since No. 33 Middle School was now on their turf, Lao Li gestured to Tian Rong beside him and walked over to the group who had already greeted Lao Xu.

After some polite greetings, the slightly overweight but still enthusiastic vice principal from No. 14 Middle School explained the arrangements made by the Municipal Education Bureau.

The North District was quite far from the city center, and a team from an even more distant suburban middle school was also participating in the performance. Therefore, the Education Bureau entrusted No. 14 Middle School, which was organizing the performance, to host and arrange temporary rest areas for these visiting teams.

In the high school education of Qingjiang City, No. 3 Middle School frequently produced top scorers in the city's humanities and social sciences college entrance examinations, while No. 5 Middle School not only dominated the science and engineering college entrance examinations but also consistently led other middle schools in the city in overall science scores during mid-term and final exams each academic year.

For No. 5 Middle School, high school physics teaching has always been their source of pride, as for several years, their physics scores have consistently ranked first in every grade. However, this changed during a final exam two years ago. A first-year class from No. 14 Middle School achieved an average physics score higher than all first-year classes at No. 5 Middle School. The person who made history for No. 14 Middle School, a school known for its arts and culture, was Cheng Yan, walking at the back of Old Li's group, her face expressionless.

Taking first place from the strongest opponent, even if there might have been some element of chance, is undoubtedly a testament to strength. But here's the problem: a teacher with such high teaching ability should theoretically be highly valued by every school, but why is there such a significant difference in the level of attention given to Cheng Yan?

Indeed, the Municipal Education Bureau, in an effort to improve the teaching situation at No. 33 Middle School, had asked other middle schools to recommend teachers to bolster its teaching staff. However, only Cheng Yan, recommended by No. 14 Middle School, was actually selected. Perhaps, the recommendation of a highly capable teacher like Cheng Yan is, in another sense, a way of affirming her abilities.

From the moment she entered the gates of No. 14 Middle School, Cheng Yan's expression constantly shifted, drawing the attention of Tian Rong and Lao Li. When the smiling vice-principal of No. 14 Middle School appeared, Lao Li noticed that while Cheng Yan's expression remained unchanged, the corners of her eyes narrowed the moment she saw him.

Walking beside Lao Li, the smiling vice-principal seemed to have small, flickering eyes, and the more frequently these flickering eyes appeared, the more pronounced his smile became.

A vice-principal who always smiled and seemed approachable (according to Tian Rong's whispers to Lao Li, this vice-principal was currently the acting principal of No. 14 Middle School), in a middle school with a strong artistic atmosphere—yet when Lao Li's gaze swept over Cheng Yan's expressionless face, his heart stirred slightly.

There are many people with artistic talent within the education system, so four of the seven judges on the judging panel at the finals were from within the education system.

Perhaps it was returning to the school where she used to work, or perhaps it was having Lao Li by her side for an entire lunch break, or perhaps it was letting go of something that had been weighing on her mind—Cheng Yan's heartfelt and sweet singing not only added a lot to the performance of No. 33 Middle School, but also greatly helped the other performers from No. 33 Middle School, who were already relaxed, to perform at their best.

All fifteen programs were performed, and the artistic performance scores for each program were finally awarded. With a 0.3-point advantage, No. 33 Middle School led its strongest competitor, No. 14 Middle School.

The right to speak now went to the three people behind the judges' panel, meaning that these three people would decide the scores for the performances beyond artistic performance. These three people were very knowledgeable about commenting on things beyond art. They commented on many aspects, such as whether each program highlighted the main theme and whether it fully reflected the important moment of "July 1st".

The performance by No. 33 Middle School was the best in terms of artistic expression; however, it seemed to lack in highlighting the main theme, reflecting the times, and focusing on the central theme of "July 1st." Looking at these aspects, the performance by No. 14 Middle School, even among the three judges who spoke last and appeared to be the oldest, seemed to have some awareness of this issue. The youngest of the three judges,

who rarely expressed his opinions verbally but frequently nodded in support after the other two judges had given their comments, adjusted his microphone at this moment.

Over half a century of trials and tribulations, the leadership of the Party has always been the main theme. Using contemporary art forms to recreate those difficult years allows us to relive and remember the footsteps of our predecessors, which should inspire our pioneering spirit in the new era. "July 1st" is about reviewing history and looking to the future; this is the direction we must always and must continue to follow. The youngest judge gave No. 33 Middle School this comment, but did not award them a higher score. With both scores combined, No. 14 Middle School's final score slightly surpassed No. 33 Middle School's. However

, this changed the entire situation, as all three judges mentioned one thing: since both programs were excellent, they should both participate in the city's "July 1st" celebration performance.

Second place wasn't the best result, but the opportunity to participate in the city's performance truly excited all the teachers and students from No. 33 Middle School. Sure enough, as soon as Lao Li and Dong Na returned from receiving their award, they were surrounded by everyone asking: "Where are we going to celebrate tonight?"

An opportunity to represent the entire city's education system at a city-wide performance might seem like a superficial honor, perhaps lacking real significance. However, for No. 33 Middle School, a school eager to escape its predicament, it was a crucial starting point for changing its public image. Even someone like Lao Li, who doesn't care much about appearances, took this opportunity very seriously. With everyone in such high spirits, Lao Li readily entrusted the selection of the celebration venue to Dong Qin and Lao Xu.

Watching the last three commentators shake hands with the main leaders of the city's education system, Lao Li muttered to himself, looking at the youngest commentator: "My brother-in-law is now the provincial propaganda minister, how come he still has the leisure to come here and act all high and mighty? Doesn't he realize that his status might cause this small place to collapse?"

Lao Li's phone rang, but when he took it out, the caller ID seemed familiar, yet he couldn't quite place it. As Old Li pressed the answer button and walked out with his school's large group, a familiar and cheerful greeting came through the phone to his ear. "

Don't talk about people during the day, don't talk about ghosts at night," and sure enough, Old Li had just finished muttering about his brother-in-law in his mind when his brother-in-law called.

Old Li's brother-in-law was a proper military academy graduate, serving in the army for eight years before rising to the rank of division commander. But for some unknown reason, this brother-in-law, who had risen so rapidly in the army, suddenly transferred back to civilian life. And instead of returning directly to the provincial capital, he went to work as the deputy mayor of a city within the province. Three years later, Old Li's brother-in-law was promoted to mayor of another city. And in the same year he became mayor, Old Li's mother-in-law, his brother-in-law's biological mother, also passed away from illness.

When his brother-in-law, who had been promoted to mayor, passed away, he was away on a work trip abroad and couldn't return immediately. At that time, Lao Li, who was already divorced from his brother-in-law's sister, acted like a son to his sister, fulfilling his filial duty by burying

her. Not only were Lao Li's in-laws very hostile towards their daughter after the divorce, but even his brother-in-law and sister-in-law believed their sister had made a grave mistake. For many years, Lao Li had been caring for their mother, who had been bedridden due to illness. Therefore, everyone in Lao Li's in-laws felt grateful to him, but also indebted to him.

Two months ago, Lao Li's brother-in-law was transferred back to the provincial capital to become the head of the provincial propaganda department. He had originally planned to stay home and reunite with Lao Li, his brother-in-law, but due to various reasons, they only met today.

Today's meeting wasn't intentionally orchestrated by Lao Li's brother-in-law. It was simply a coincidence that his brother-in-law, a former colleague of the head of the Qingjiang City education system, had invited him. Furthermore, both the provincial and municipal governments were placing great importance on the upcoming "July 1st" celebration, so Lao Li's brother-in-law, who had just become the head of the provincial propaganda department, coincidentally met his long-lost brother-in-law at this event.

After exchanging pleasantries, the real purpose of the phone call was to invite Lao Li to a dinner party hosted by the city's education bureau. This was partly to catch a glimpse of his brother-in-law, and partly, and more importantly, because his brother-in-law had been relegated to the 33rd Middle School, and inviting him to the dinner was a way of showing support for him.

Yes, his brother-in-law was always scheming and ambitious, but there was one thing about him: he seemed to always be taken advantage of in his work. Previously, being far away, he felt unable to help him, but now that he was back, he felt he should at least

do something in return. After finishing his call with his brother-in-law and accepting his invitation, Old Li told Old Xu and Tian Rong about the matter. Generally speaking, Tian Rong was quite sensitive to major personnel changes in the provincial and municipal governments and often heard inside information, since although his father had passed away, his mother's family was still living in the provincial party committee compound.

Tian Rong had heard some rumors about the new head of the provincial propaganda department; apparently, he was originally supposed to be appointed as the vice governor, but due to some external factors, he was transferred to the position of head of the propaganda department. Moreover, it was said that this appointment was just a transitional one, and perhaps it wouldn't be long before he was promoted to vice governor.

Speaking of Old Li's ex-wife's family, Tian Rong only now realized who was who! Yes, that's true. I hadn't paid much attention before because, judging from Lao Li's behavior, it was hard to associate him with this kind of family. But now that it all makes sense, I realize that Lao Li's ex-wife's family is actually this kind of family.

Lao Li's ex-wife's father was from the older generation who had fought and shed blood. Although he wasn't very educated, he apparently became the Party Secretary of Qingjiang City in his last year in office. Of

his children's generation, the only one who truly entered politics is Lao Li's brother-in-law, and he's very good at using connections. Like the connections his father had built up, his father, because of his lack of education and ambition, didn't use those connections to advance his career. However, the foundation of relationships laid by his father's generation completely changed after his brother-in-law entered politics. He tightly united everyone he could around him. This is true in the military, and it's the same in local politics. Otherwise, no matter where they are appointed, they would rise steadily through the ranks.

But comparing Old Li to his brother-in-law, it seems that Old Li, in these aspects, is like something kept in a jar—the more it's kept, the more it shrinks back. In other words, the fact that Old Li's father-in-law still treats him like a son even after Old Li's divorce from his daughter suggests that Old Li shares some striking similarities with his father-in-law. Today, Old Li's brother-in-law's invitation to this occasion is beneficial from every angle. So, after understanding the situation, Tian Rong immediately took charge, saying that she would handle everything for the school's team tonight, and that Old Li should get ready and go see his brother-in-law.

The two drinking parties started almost simultaneously, but in different locations. Perhaps because of the different locations and the different people drinking together, the atmosphere at the tables was quite different.

On one side, toasts were exchanged and drinks were plentiful; on the other, the atmosphere was subdued, with conversations becoming increasingly fragmented.

The lively side was enlivened by the unexpected presence of someone who would never normally be there, their surprise and delight adding to the festive spirit. The quiet side, too, was affected by the sudden absence of someone who wouldn't normally attract attention, making everyone realize that while someone may seem insignificant in daily life, their quiet presence or absence can subtly stir emotions.

Old Li, not a heavy drinker, had been drinking heavily, and by the time the banquet was nearly over, he was practically a ghost. Finally, when everyone was about to leave, Old Li, barely recognizable, was helped into a car.

Meanwhile, Tian Rong and the group from No. 33 Middle School, who had also been drinking, had lost interest in their planned celebrations and were now debating whether it was time to go home.

The school's van hadn't been repaired yet, but luckily, Old Li hadn't forgotten about it while he was drinking on the other side. Sure enough, he told his brother-in-law about it, and a minibus with twenty seats stopped in front of the group of people from No. 33 Middle School.

Of the people from No. 33 Middle School who came to perform today, four lived in the city center, and Lao Xu gave them each a ride. The rest, whether teachers or students, all lived in the northern part of the city. When the bus reached the northern part of the city, there were only eight or nine people left. Tian Rong noticed that the remaining passengers were all women and girls.

The girls were all students, and they said they were going to the school dormitory. The women, although none of them said where they were going, Tian Rong knew.

This was the arrangement, but Dong Na, whom Zou Yang had assumed would also stay at the school, said she wasn't going. Zou Yang kept praising Dong Na for being so loyal.

Thinking that there was plenty of room at Lao Li's house anyway, and perhaps due to a bit of a woman's tendency to show off, Dong Na, for reasons unknown, dragged Zou Yang along to stay at Lao Li's house as well.

Dong Na only discussed this with Zou Yang when they were almost at school, but Lulu, who was sitting next to Zou Yang, overheard it, which changed things a bit.

During the rehearsals, Lulu, Hanyue, and Zou Yang had gotten along very well. Even though they were still in the same school after the city performance, they wouldn't have as much time together as they had these past few days. They had agreed to stay in the school dormitory today, hoping the girls could share a room and chat. However, Zou Yang had only half-jokingly told Dong Na, but she took it seriously, drawing more people into the discussion.

While Lulu and a few other girls were discussing their agreement with Zou Yang, Dong Na looked to Tian Rong for her opinion. A few more wouldn't make a difference, and a few less wouldn't be a big deal either. So, Tian Rong nodded to Dong Na, and the minibus, without stopping at the school gate, headed directly towards Old Li's house.

[Volume 2: Passionate Maple Leaves] Chapter 1: One Step at a Time (4)

Drinking is real, and getting drunk and unconscious is also real. Old Li, who was deeply drunk, was lying motionless on the bed. However, the person in charge of taking care of Old Li would rather he be drunk and act crazy, which would be much better than his current situation.

Of course, Old Li's current situation is not that he is so drunk that his life is threatened. For example, Old Li was brought back by his brother-in-law and did not move once he lay down on the bed. However, many drunk people will vomit, and this was no exception for Old Li. So, at the right time, when there was only one person left to take care of him, he opened his mouth and vomited.

However, vomiting after drinking is a common occurrence, but you can't just lie on your back on the bed and vomit! It's embarrassing, it's one thing for Old Li to vomit on himself, but it's another to vomit all over someone else's bed.

He vomited on his back in bed, making a mess of himself and the bed. Even if someone held their nose and cleaned him up, it wasn't a big deal. But if someone is so drunk they're like a vegetable, completely immobile, that's a real challenge for anyone trying to help them.

Why? Because even if Old Li doesn't have Tyson's weight or Holyfield's height, he's still a grown man weighing over 60 kilograms. If he's like a pile of meat on a chopping board waiting to be lifted, even with two women working together, it'll still take a lot of effort.

Thankfully, the two women worked together and managed to clean and wash Old Li, bed and all. However, this ordeal left them both drenched in sweat (haha, women's sweat is usually described as fragrant, but after a lot of physical exertion, it can smell just as good as a man's). After taking turns showering, one of the women, perhaps worried about Old Li needing more attention, sat on the edge of the bed to watch over him. The other woman, looking rather guilty, made an excuse and quietly slipped away to another room. The bed

Old Li was now sleeping in wasn't the one he slept in when he was first brought back; it was the one the two women had painstakingly arranged for him to be in. And this bed, unfortunately, was originally the bed the woman sitting on the edge of the bed slept in every day.

The woman sitting on the edge of the bed had heard about Old Li from others more than ten years ago, but she had only officially met him six or seven years ago. From the time she first heard about Old Li to her interactions with him over the years, she had never seen him so drunk before, not even before coming here.

How could someone as usually composed as Old Li be reduced to this state? As she pondered this question, she couldn't help but wonder: Is it true that appearances can be deceiving?

The bed Old Li was sleeping in wasn't his own; it was his father-in-law's house. Logically, even if Old Li was drunk, he should have been taken back to his own home, not brought here.

However, the reason he was brought here was because of his brother-in-law. As for why his brother-in-law had such thoughts, it was entirely because seeing Old Li reminded him of his sister.

Old Li's brother-in-law's sister has already divorced him, but Old Li's brother-in-law knows even better that his sister, who is also divorced, has been wondering who she truly loves all these years.

Old Li's brother-in-law brought the drunken Old Li here for several reasons: first, he assumed his sister would be home; second, he thought having his sister take care of Old Li would allow them to reconnect and get to know each other better; and third, he simply wanted to offer to take Old Li's place.

It makes sense, really. His sister has harbored feelings for Old Li for years, but various reasons have prevented her from expressing them. If Old Li's brother-in-law personally brought Old Li to his sister, wouldn't she be more than grateful to him (even if not explicitly) as her brother?

But that's just how things are. Old Li, your brother-in-law can drink with you, but if Old Li drinks with your brother-in-law and gets him into this state, then if your brother-in-law were to personally deliver Old Li to his sister, even as the older brother, he'd have to carefully consider whether he's worthy of the position!

On the surface, Old Li's sister-in-law is incredibly fierce towards him, but those who know her well understand how much she loves her brother-in-law deep down. In other words, while she can be fierce with him verbally, if anyone else treated him like that, this policewoman sister-in-law might actually pull out her gun and fight them to the death.

Old Li's brother-in-law knows his sister all too well, so facing this situation where he wants to be a good person in front of his sister but can't let her pull out a gun and hold it to her head, the best approach is to use someone else.

But things aren't as simple as you think. You wouldn't dare mess with your own sister, so how can you expect others to do it for you? However, Old Li's brother-in-law is truly remarkable. Not only is his official career going smoothly, but whenever he needs help, people always rush to his aid.

Speaking of this person, Old Li not only knows her, but they are also quite close. However, the closeness isn't for any other reason than that this person is Old Li's aunt's sister—that is, the sister of Old Li's brother-in-law's stepmother. Normally, Old Li's brother-in-law should call this person "aunt."

This woman, who was also Old Li's aunt's aunt, was actually seven years younger than him. She and her sister had come to work in the provincial capital around the same time. The older sister worked at the Provincial Bureau of Statistics, while the younger sister initially worked at the Municipal Women's Federation before transferring to the Municipal Education Bureau earlier this year, where she was considered one of the more influential figures.

Old Li's aunt was very outgoing, and ever since they met, she had enjoyed using her outgoing personality to play small jokes on him.

For example, she would make Old Li, who was seven years older than her, seriously call her "Auntie"...

Or she would pat Old Li's shoulder and look at him with a "you're so good" expression...

Or...

After a series of such jokes, Old Li would usually walk much faster than usual when he saw his aunt. But it was precisely because Old Li walked so fast when he saw his aunt that his outgoing personality couldn't be fully satisfied, and the aunt secretly solidified a thought in her mind: "You walk fast, don't you?" "Let's see what happens when you have nowhere to go!"

With this firm belief and always looking for such an opportunity, her eyes lit up when she saw Old Li at the city's education system's "July 1st" celebration banquet!

After Old Li and the others had finished their drinks and the banquet had entered the stage of free socializing, she raised her glass and approached Old Li.

Upon seeing his aunt, Old Li walked very quickly, but in such a public setting, he wouldn't rush to greet his aunt, who was very tactful. So, Old Li smiled and greeted her.

If Old Li's aunt could choose any opportunity to slow him down, she would definitely choose this occasion.

Why? This is because people's alcohol tolerance is categorized by levels. Beginners are usually measured in ounces (a few liang), intermediates in kilograms, advanced drinkers in kilograms, and finally, the "super-class" drinkers, whose tolerance is roughly equivalent to an average person drinking water.

Theoretically and practically, a high-level drinker facing an intermediate drinker is like Mike Tyson versus a middleweight boxer vying for the title of world champion. However, if a super-class drinker were to challenge a middleweight, it would be like the mighty Xiang Yu, the invincible overlord of Western Chu, visiting a kindergarten, finding the strongest child, placing his massive, dark arm on the child's bed, and saying in the most gentle way possible: "Give it your all, let's arm wrestle!"

Old Li, a man whose drinking capacity wouldn't even qualify as intermediate, had no idea that the smiling woman before him was, in a certain field, the infamous Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, who would challenge the strongest child in kindergarten to an arm-wrestling match.

Whether in family relationships or among colleagues in education, this smiling woman was Old Li's superior. However, this extended beyond the family to the workplace. Holding her glass, she casually told Old Li, "I'll drink it all, you can drink as you please."

Watching the woman down her full glass without a drop, still smiling, an inexplicable emotion stirred within Old Li. Perhaps even the wisest sage, sensing the subtle disdain in the woman's casual tone, would feel the same emotions as Old Li.

Old Li wasn't the magnanimous saint he was; he was just an ordinary man with a slightly better temper. So when this subtle emotion began to stir within him, perhaps it was because the drink he'd already consumed was taking effect, or perhaps it was the woman's smiling and casual remark, "Go ahead and drink as you please," that made Old Li, who was usually careful about his alcohol tolerance, not only down his glass in one gulp, but also, unusually, pour himself a full glass, returning the woman's words and repeating, "I'll finish mine, you can drink as you please."

The polite exchange of toasts between Old Li and the woman was merely one glass each, but even so, more people brought him glasses. Given the way Old Li and the woman had drunk together, and considering the importance of saving face at drinking parties, Old Li followed the same drinking style as the woman throughout the rest of the banquet, completing all the formalities.

The mighty Xiang Yu, the Chu overlord, merely propped his hand on the child's bed, then quietly watched as the child, in his own script, leaped and bounded, exerting all his strength to begin his performance.

Indeed, if Xiang Yu had displayed his unparalleled strength from the outset, not only Old Li, but anyone else would have refrained from attempting such a feat. However, this Xiang Yu, disguised as a woman, was not someone who merely relied on her strength (though with that strength, she could easily overturn everyone here). She simply displayed the symbol of her power, leaving the rest to Old Li's chaotic antics. He feared neither

heaven nor earth, and was even less afraid of Xiang Yu's strength (because if he couldn't afford to offend her, he could at least avoid her). But what he feared most was that the old Xiang Yu would begin to set traps for him.

So, Old Li's aunt, a veritable drinking champion, cleverly set a trap for him, getting him to drink almost twice as much as usual until he was completely drunk. Old

Li's brother-in-law, who had been observing the situation closely, was perfectly aware of everything. He initially tried to subtly warn his brother-in-law, but upon meeting the smiling eyes of his aunt, he decisively suppressed any thoughts.

It was the smiling aunt who was telling Old Li's brother-in-law: "Don't get yourself into trouble."

The brother-in-law got his wish and was rendered unconscious in his aunt's script, but what surprised Old Li's brother-in-law most was that his aunt would so readily offer to take him home. Everyone in Old Li's brother-in-law's family knows that Old Li's sister-in-law is someone no one dares to mess with, not even the sister-in-law in front of Old Li's brother-in-law, nor the sister- in-law still at home.

Old Li's brother-in-law is unaware of one thing: when he arrived and saw Old Li, he was prepared to let him get drunk himself. This sister-in-law is also very afraid of her brother-in-law's sister-in-law, who is very protective of him. However, before coming here, Old Li's sister-in-law and her brother-in-law had just broken up. Old Li's sister-in-law said that her police station had a mission that night and she wouldn't be home.

The sister-in-law, who was exhausted from taking care of Old Li with her sister, didn't even wait for her sister to ask how Old Li got so drunk. She made an excuse to take a shower and quickly slipped away, leaving her sister to take care of Old Li in the room.

Seeing Old Li so drunk, it was undoubtedly her younger sister's doing. But her sister was too slippery; she'd barely had a chance to scold her before the sister had vanished. Thinking she'd settle the score with her sister tomorrow, the older sister continued wiping Old Li's face with a towel, and then sat down beside his bed.

Indeed, the earlier ordeal had exhausted her, even as a woman herself.

Over a decade ago, when Old Li's father-in-law was the county party secretary in another county, this current aunt was a young woman who had just joined the county party office. It was through this connection that she met Old Li's very upright father-in-law.

After a period of working together, Mr. Li's father-in-law's decisive and efficient work style left a deep impression on the young woman who had just joined the county party committee office. However, this was still just a young woman's impression of a county party secretary's work, without any deeper implications.

This ordinary working relationship changed two years later. The young woman had married and, highly regarded by Mr. Li's father-in-law, became the deputy director of the county party committee office.

Mr. Li's father-in-law had always left his family in the provincial capital while he worked alone in another city. The young woman, now a woman, had to dedicate some of her energy to arranging and caring for Mr. Li's father-in-law's daily life after taking over as deputy director. Through

work and life interactions, a bond gradually developed between the two people, who were significantly different in age, a bond somewhere between siblings. This bond also allowed them to understand each other better.

The young woman, now a woman herself, gradually learned about her father-in-law's home in the provincial capital from him. Through these conversations, she learned more about each member of his family.

The family dynamics weren't complicated, and she quickly grasped the basics. It was at this point that Old Li, no longer considered part of his father-in-law's family, left a deep impression on her.

This was understandable; a man divorced from his wife had consistently cared for his bedridden mother-in-law for many years—a truly remarkable act. Old Li's father-in-law, feeling guilty towards his wife, hadn't brought her to live with him because of Old Li's devoted care. He believed he couldn't compare to Old Li in this regard.

Later, Old Li's father-in-law was transferred to other counties and eventually returned to the provincial capital to serve as the municipal party secretary. He and the woman who had become the head of the county's organization department had only occasional phone calls and hadn't seen each other for several years.

The turning point came a few years ago with a chance encounter. The woman, now the deputy secretary of the county party committee, was in the provincial capital for work and unintentionally met Old Li's now-retired father-in-law.

This meeting led to renewed contact between the divorced deputy secretary and her former superior. With the help of some matchmakers, the woman, who had also been transferred from the county to the provincial capital, married Old Li's father-in-law, becoming the aunt of Old Li and the other younger members of his family.

Life after marrying Old Li's father-in-law was uneventful, but this uneventful life changed two years ago on the anniversary of Old Li's mother-in-law's death. That evening, Old Li's ex-wife quietly appeared before her family. Her return was purely for the purpose of paying respects to her mother, without Old Li or her daughter knowing.

However, Old Li's father-in-law disliked his own daughter intensely. He faithfully carried out his late wife's wish, forbidding her from visiting her mother's grave and even flew into a rage when confronted by her. This outburst caused the elderly man's blood pressure to spike, triggering a heart attack. Despite attempts to save him, he passed away.

Although this incident occurred shortly after Old Li's new aunt took office, Old Li and the other younger members of the family generally held a good impression of her. After Old Li's father-in-law passed away, his aunt not only didn't leave, but also continued to live in his father-in-law's house with Old Li's divorced sister-in-law and Old Li's daughter, Xiaozhu (who was studying in the city and lived with her aunt).
