After staying overnight at the bathhouse, they headed straight for the provincial city. The army indeed trains talents; despite having left service over ten years ago, Fu Yushui drove smoothly.

Using Secretary Fu’s words to praise him: "Chairman Mao’s driver couldn’t have done better!" Fu Yushui was elated, though he later hit a fist-sized rock, making the car jolt. Secretary Fu didn’t scold him, but Fu Yushui saw his face twitch. Swallowing his tongue, Fu Yushui focused intently on the road ahead.

Why were they going to the provincial city? Fu Yushui didn’t ask. Knowing Secretary Fu, he wouldn’t go there just for a joyride. Secretary Fu’s son, Fu Le, and Secretary Liu’s daughter, Liu Xiaoyan, both studied at the provincial university. If Fu Yushui’s guess was correct, their destination was to visit his son and Xiaoyan.

Despite her last name being Liu and being Secretary Liu's daughter, Liu Xiaoyan had always been closest to her uncle. More so than Fu Le, his sister Fu Tong, or brother Fu Hui, Liu Xiaoyan was Secretary Fu's favorite. And so, upon arriving in the provincial city, Secretary Fu went straight to the grocery store to buy two large bags of snacks and ordered Fu Yushui to drive them directly to the Provincial University gate.

"Big Brother! This kid still hasn't kicked the habit of making me carry him?" Secretary Fu, his face stern, observed the affectionate antics of the two. 

"Dad!" Fu Le dismounted from Fu Yushui, standing in front of Secretary Fu with his head bowed.

“Where's your sister?” Secretary Fu asked sternly.

“She’s coming!”  Secretary Fu’s glance made Fu Le’s heart skip a beat.

“Give this bag to your sister. Stop working part-time during breaks. Your mother misses you!”

“Um, Dad, Uncle Compensation visited yesterday and brought us a lot of stuff. He even sneakily put a thousand yuan in the convenience bag. Dad! Don’t you see how kind Uncle Compensation is? Maybe you should stop competing with him.”
