384: We should have a second child.
Lin Zifeng took a short nap in the lounge, then got up to wash up. When it was time for work, he returned to the Office outside.
Not long after, a knock sounded on the door again, and Wang Zhongyu pushed the door open and walked in.
"Secretary, according to your work schedule, you are to conduct research at The political and legal departments this afternoon. Secretary Li from the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, Mayor Zhang, and Mayor Zhu are already waiting for you downstairs."
Hearing Wang Zhongyu's report, Lin Zifeng nodded, stood up, and walked outside, with Wang Zhongyu following closely behind him.
The two arrived downstairs together, where Secretary Li Minghao, Zhang Zhenhua, and Zhu Yushan gathered around.
Lin Zifeng shook hands with them, and after exchanging greetings, they each boarded four separate vehicles. The four cars formed a motorcade and drove out of the Municipal Party Committee Compound, heading first to the Municipal Public Security Bureau.
Knowing that Lin Zifeng was coming for an inspection, the leadership of the Municipal Public Security Bureau waited collectively in the courtyard for the arrival of Lin Zifeng's party.
Seeing the four cars drive in, they all gathered around.
After Lin Zifeng and his party got out of the cars, they shook hands and exchanged pleasantries with the municipal bureau leaders who were there to welcome them, then began inspecting the various departments of the Public Security Bureau accompanied by everyone.
Throughout the afternoon, Lin Zifeng and his party not only inspected the Public Security Bureau but also visited the Procuratorate and the Court.
Finally, at a high-level meeting of The political and legal departments, Lin Zifeng gave important instructions.
He required The political and legal departments, from the perspective of serving the people, to not only ensure the social stability and unity of Yushu City and safeguard economic development but also to handle various cases fairly and impartially.
They must ensure that the legal rights and interests of every citizen are reasonably protected and improve the speed of case trials and sentencing.
They must fulfill their role as fair and impartial arbiters, and must avoid the occurrence of power-for-sex trades, as well as the occurrence of wrongful convictions or unjust cases.
Discipline inspection departments at all levels must perform their functions; any law enforcement officer who dares to break the law must be punished more severely and dealt with strictly and swiftly.
After the meeting adjourned, Lin Zifeng declined the invitation to stay for dinner and left by car.
When he returned home, Li Li had already prepared dinner and had just left, and Chen Yuxi and her daughter were waiting for him to come back to eat together.
Seeing Lin Zifeng walk through the door, Lin Yining ran toward him, happily calling out, "Daddy!"
Lin Zifeng picked up Lin Yining and gave the Little fellow a kiss on the cheek.
Chen Yuxi followed, patted the Little fellow, and said, "Don't pester Daddy. Come down quickly and let Daddy go wash his hands. We're going to eat together. Aren't you hungry?"
The Little fellow nodded obediently, and only then did Lin Zifeng put her down and head toward the washroom.
Soon, the family of three sat down to dinner. Chen Yuxi asked while eating, "Hubby, when is your friend bringing people to Yushu City?"
"I told my sister about the other party's plan to invest in building a Film and Television City next to the Yingjianzui Scenic Area. My sister takes this matter very seriously; she said that once this Film and Television City is built, it will bring a second spring to the Yingjianzui Scenic Area. This is definitely a great thing for our Yingjianzui Scenic Area, and an opportunity for its second development."
"They will arrive in Yushu City next Monday. Once this Film and Television City is built, it will complement the Yingjianzui Scenic Area."
"Don't forget, once the Film and Television City is built, besides attracting some film crews to shoot, some areas will also be open to the public. In this way, tourists visiting the Yingjianzui Scenic Area will have one more place to play, which will also drive the development of the Film and Television City and boost its reputation. So, this is a good thing for both companies. Otherwise, they wouldn't have decided to come to Yushu City to invest."
Lin Zifeng said with a chuckle.
As they talked, they finished dinner. They cleaned up together, coaxed Lin Yining to sleep, and then sat in the Living Room, chatting while watching the news.
"Hubby, Meixin called me this afternoon and invited our family of three to her house for dinner on Saturday night. I didn't know if you had other plans, so I didn't agree immediately and told her I'd give her an answer tomorrow. Hubby, do you have any other plans this Saturday?"
Chen Yuxi said while applying a facial mask.
"Yuhang called me this morning and mentioned this too. I already agreed to him, but I hadn't had a chance to tell you yet. Now that you brought it up, I remembered."
"You are so annoying! Why didn't you call me this morning to tell me?"
Chen Yuxi said coquettishly.
"It's my fault. I was busy with work and forgot! You can just tell Meixin tomorrow. You didn't do anything wrong; if you had agreed directly and I had other plans on Saturday, wouldn't I have stood them up?"
As Lin Zifeng spoke, he pulled Chen Yuxi into his arms, and the two cuddled together while continuing to watch TV.
It wasn't until the time for Chen Yuxi's face mask was up that she peeled it off and threw it into the trash can. Lin Zifeng casually turned off the TV, picked up Chen Yuxi, and walked with long strides toward the Bedroom.
When Lin Zifeng gently placed Chen Yuxi on the large bed and was about to get up to get protection, he was pulled back by Chen Yuxi.
Seeing Lin Zifeng's puzzled look, Chen Yuxi whispered in his ear, "Mom wants to hold a grandson. Now that the two-child policy has been opened, Mom has privately urged me several times. Ningning is almost two years old, so it's time for us to have a second child. Although you already have Haotian, Mom and Dad don't know that! The Lin family has been passing down the lineage through a single son for generations; I can't bear the responsibility of breaking the family line."
Hearing what Chen Yuxi said, Lin Zifeng said, "Don't put pressure on yourself. Let's just let nature take its course!"
After saying this, Lin Zifeng lowered his head and kissed Chen Yuxi's delicate red lips.
The next morning, after breakfast, Lin Zifeng walked out of the house in high spirits. After going downstairs, he took a car to work.
Lin Zifeng and Wang Zhongyu walked into the Office one after the other. After Lin Zifeng sat down, he looked at Wang Zhongyu, who was making tea, and asked, "Zhongyu, what is the work schedule for today?"
"Secretary, according to your work schedule for today, you are to go to Heping Town to inspect work, and Vice Mayor Cao Shuang will accompany you."
Wang Zhongyu reported quickly.
Hearing Wang Zhongyu's report, Lin Zifeng smiled, nodded, and said, "I haven't been to Heping Town for more than half a year, and I'm actually looking forward to it. Yushu City changes fast, and Heping Town changes even more with each passing day. It's good to go over and see the changes in Heping Town."
Heping Town was the place where Lin Zifeng made his start, so he had special feelings for it.
Wang Zhongyu also came from Heping Town, so hearing what Lin Zifeng said, Wang Zhongyu nodded with a face full of anticipation.
