Text Text_Chapter 55: Class reunion
Li Ming said: "Brother, we are our own people, I will make a long story short." I heard that my godfather is not in good health, and there is no one to take care of him at home, and you are a busy person of the municipal party committee, and you are rarely at home, so how can you take care of the old man? This nanny is not an outsider, she is a cousin of mine, she is very diligent and neat, and the most important thing is that she has a good character. I'll bring her over today to recognize her, and from tomorrow onwards, I'll come over to take care of the old man's daily life and dinner, and also help with the housework......"
Li Rui was stunned when he heard this, this was really a pillow that someone had just dozed off, what could be more pleasant than this? But slowly, how did he, Li Ming, know about his family's situation? Also, he obviously sent a nanny for the sake of being the secretary of the secretary of the municipal party committee, how could he accept it? Is this considered a bribe?
Li Ming hadn't finished speaking: "...... This girl is in the car, I will meet you first, and then you will only use it, and you don't have to worry about anything else. If you're not satisfied, tell me and I'll give you a replacement. ”
Li Rui naturally understood the meaning of his words, the so-called "don't worry about anything else", that is, the nanny's salary and treatment don't care at all, he is responsible for it, and he is a little moved in his heart, and he just wants to be polite.
But Li Ming didn't give him time to speak at all, turned around and opened the back door, and shouted, "Xiaohong, come out to meet my brother, do you want my brother to know?"
Out of the car came a pretty little girl, eighteen or nineteen years old, about one meter six tall, delicate appearance, personality seems to be a little introverted, when looking at Li Rui was very reserved, timidly called "brother", and lowered his head shyly.
Li Rui was very satisfied with her appearance, dressed very plainly but neatly, and liked it very much, but he didn't dare to agree, pulled Li Ming to the side, and said in a low voice: "Big brother, I want to thank you for your kindness first, but then again, aren't you giving me a problem? How can I, a small cadre at the deputy section level, have a nanny at home? I have to let the Discipline Inspection Commission and the Supervision Bureau know about this, and I must not be the first to investigate me? Even if I don't investigate, the impact will not be good." Li Ming said: "Brother, you are too worried, your family situation is special, your job is also special, it is natural to ask a nanny to take care of your father at home, who dares to say no? Besides, you and I don't want to say that we hired a nanny, just say that a distant cousin came to the house to help." Who can hold down this matter and continue to investigate? Besides, who dares to investigate you? Hehe, you can accept it, which can be regarded as a little bit of my heart for my godfather. After speaking, he said: "Brother, I still have to catch a dinner, and my brother-in-law has a treat there, so I won't stay long." I'll visit my godfather in person another day, don't blame me for not being polite this time, hehe. Okay, I'll go first, and Xiaohong will come over tomorrow. ”
Li Rui didn't have time to say anything more, Li Ming had already taken Xiaohong to the car. After a soft horn sounded, the SUV turned around and drove off.
Li Rui had mixed feelings, looked at the direction of the off-road vehicle, and did not move for a long time.
Back at home, Li Rui felt that he should confess to Li Jianmin that he had become the secretary of the municipal party committee, otherwise, there would be more and more things like Li Ming in the future, and there would be many friends and guests at home. Dad is so sensitive, sooner or later he will guess it, so it is better to tell him directly.
During the meal, Li Rui said these things in a flat tone. Li Jianmin was surprised and delighted when he heard this. The father and son chattered for more than two hours. Li Rui talked about Xiaohong's coming over tomorrow again, and Li Jianmin naturally refused again and again.
Li Rui knew that his father was high-spirited, and what he could do definitely did not depend on others, especially outsiders, but when he was old, his health was not good, and various circumstances restricted him, it was impossible for him to conquer the world alone, so he could only persuade him slowly.
Li Jianmin was persuaded in the end, and sighed and said that he couldn't do it, and he dragged his son back. When Li Rui heard this, he became more and more sad, and if he hadn't controlled it, he might have cried.
Early the next morning, that is, at seven o'clock, Xiaohong came to the door, carrying vegetables and fruits in both hands, as if she had just returned from buying vegetables in the vegetable market.
The Li father and son hurriedly welcomed her in, one invited her to sit down, and the other poured water for her, flattering her.
From this day on, Xiaohong worked as a nanny in Li's house. She claimed to be Li Rui's distant cousin, who went out early and returned late every day, and never stayed overnight. Li Jianmin said that she would never accept money to buy vegetables or anything. It's almost a real-life version of the snail girl.
Putting aside Xiaohong's matter, Li Rui felt that Li Ming had given his father and son such a great favor, and it was really not interesting for him not to return the gift. But the problem is, if his family wants money or not, and if he wants a gift or not, what can he give Li Ming? Moreover, he is the second-in-command of the Shinan District Government, so what can the family lack? Even if he lacks something, he will be able to see what he has given him? It seems that if he wants to repay him, he can only leave the officialdom, and this should be what he wants.
Li Rui silently wrote down Li Ming's favor in his heart, and planned to have the opportunity to repay him in the future.
On the evening of the day Xiaohong came to Li's house, Li Rui was picked up by Yang Peng to attend the so-called "junior high school reunion for the thirteenth anniversary of graduation".
In fact, Li Rui's class has a party almost every year, and he still participated in the first few times, but as the mix became worse and worse, Liu Liping thought that he spent a lot of money at every class reunion, so he didn't bother to go. Now that I think about it, even if I saved the money to attend the party, I didn't really save it, but was spent by Liu Liping, and it was spent in an unknown way, but I ignored the relationship with my old classmates, which is equivalent to suffering at both ends, and I am really a fucking idiot.
Yang Peng was smoking and driving, and his eyes were still looking around the scantily clad young woman on the street from time to time, and suddenly asked, "Why didn't you see your daughter-in-law?"
Yang Peng was one of Li Rui's sworn friends in the class that year, he wore glasses when he was in junior high school, although he was thin, he had many buddies and brothers in the family, and he was very powerful, and he was also a man of the year in the school. His family's conditions are stronger than Li Rui's, but they are not too strong. He didn't study well and didn't like to study, so he entered the society after graduating from junior high school. After so many years in society, he is now a man of fame and fame, making a living by setting a mahjong table in a hotel. Driving a second-hand Alto, he is in a hurry, but he also looks like a small boss. Although this person is not as good as he wants, he has a benefit, he basically knows the three sects and nine streams in the city, which should be regarded as his biggest asset.
Li Rui said: "Left." Yang Pengha sneered, poked his head with his finger, and scolded: "I'll rub it! I told you a long time ago that you can't have this kind of woman, but you didn't believe it at the time, but as a result, aren't you away now?" Li Rui sighed and said, "I regret that I didn't listen to you earlier." Yang Peng's temper came and went quickly, staring at the road ahead, and said, "It's not too late, hehe." Isn't Ding Yijing coming tonight, if she is still single, you and her will just get together. Li Rui smiled bitterly: "How is it possible? This is all Ben San's person, she is still a year older than me, and she is exactly thirty this year, how can she still be single?" Yang Peng blew his beard and glared and scolded: "Who the hell made a rule that a woman can't be single at thirty? If I your daughter-in-law, she can't just divorce like you?"
Li Rui smiled and didn't speak. This Yang Peng has always spoken like this, rude, but it is still very different from the pure rudeness of others. Although he is full of swearing, it makes you very comfortable to listen to, and you can hear a smell of affection. It's also the art of speaking.
The two quickly rushed to the "Spring Hotel" where the party was gathered.
According to Yang Peng, more than 30 people came to this party, and there were more than 60 people in their class back then, but at their current age, everyone has a family and a job, and there are people who go to other provinces and cities to work hard, and it is not easy to get together more than 30 people. The party was held in the grand ballroom of the four-star hotel, and the cost was the same as before, AA system.
The two took the elevator up to the fourth floor and walked to the banquet hall in a quietly decorated but slightly dimly lit hallway. As he walked, Yang Peng was suddenly slapped on the shoulder. He shouted: "Ouch, I'll wipe my ......" and stopped, looked sideways, and scolded: "Who is this?
A young woman's laughter sounded next to him: "Yang Peng, Yang Peng, you are in your thirties, why are you still squirting feces with a mouthful?"
Li Rui was very familiar with this voice, it seemed to be Jia Yuanyuan's, turned around to look, and sure enough, it was her. She seemed to have just come out of the bathroom behind her, wiping her hands with a tissue in her hand.
He and Jia Yuanyuan haven't seen each other for a long time, although both of them are in the city, but he usually lives in a two-point and one-line life circle, and rarely wanders outside, so he rarely meets these old classmates. If you think about it, you haven't seen it for four or five years. Four or five years, how many four or five years can there be in life?
Jia Yuanyuan is not tall or short, about one meter six or five, her figure is a little plump, her complexion is slightly yellow, crystal like jade, she always had short ear-length hair that has not changed for thousands of years, but now she has a lush and dense shawl hair, showing the demeanor of a mature woman. She has a white and immaculate round face, moth eyebrows, big peach blossom eyes, and two deep dimples on her cheeks when she smiles, and she looks very sweet. In fact, before her good friend Ding Yijing transferred to school, she had always been a class flower, and she also had an identity as a member of the Literature and Art Committee. And even after Ding Yijing came over, because of the beauty of the two, she still has a group of suitors. At that time, the school wanted to select a group of etiquette ladies to welcome the leaders of the Municipal Education Bureau, and a total of eight people were selected in the six classes of the grade, including her, but there was no Ding Yijing. The reason is that she has a sweet appearance, which is in line with the popular aesthetic vision, and is more marketable than Ding Yijing's beautiful and elegant face. Someone once gave her a nickname, "Little Yang Yuying", so you can imagine how sweet she looks.
