Chapter 361: Silence is Golden
Xu Wenqing is obviously not particularly accustomed to the new house in Fan City, and after Liao Fanmin and Liao Fanyao all go home, their mood is better, but there is a lot of nagging.
"Xiaomin, Yaoyao, you see, this place is not as good as Xuanming City at all, I think about it, when your father comes back, tell him that he still has to go back, there are many acquaintances in Xuanming City, I don't recognize anyone here, and there are no people who go out shopping and don't speak. . . ."
Liao Fanmin looked at Xu Wenqing, and finally couldn't help it, and spoke unceremoniously.
"Mom, this is your mistake, Dad is so busy with work, if you make such a request, it will definitely make Dad anxious, Dad will not be able to return to Xuanming City to work in the future, the biggest possibility is to transfer to Fandu to work, if you really go back to Xuanming City, then our family will be lively, Yaoyao is in Beijing, Dad is in Fandu, I am in Nanhua City, Mom is in Xuanming City, so is this home still there."
Xu Wenqing glared at Liao Fanmin.
"You're talking about it easy, you try this kind of life."
"Mom, when Yaoyao first arrived at Peking University and I just arrived at the University of South China, the situation was almost the same, and my mother had been transferred to the Planning Commission for almost a year, almost all of them were running outside, one in Beijing, one in Nanhua City, of course it was impossible to know anyone, if you settle down and stay in Fandu for a while, you will definitely know many people."
Liao Fanyao turned her head and nodded.
"Mom, I think what my brother said is right."
"Hmph, you two just teamed up to deal with me, how did I raise you two living treasures...
"Mom, don't say these words, if you have anything to say, tell Dad, Dad will go home tomorrow, there is time to say, okay, I went out shopping with Yaoyao, I am really not familiar with Fan City, this time I will come back to seize the precious time and try to be familiar with Fan City."
"What kind of street are you shopping, I haven't gone to Secretary Cheng's house yet, Section Chief Luo has called twice."
Liao Fanmin nodded, looking a little depressed, Xu Wenqing didn't know about the matter between him and Cheng Yahui, Liao Zexi said, when he went home, he would make it clear to Xu Wenqing.
In fact, it has only been three days to go home, but it is already the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, and after my father comes home tomorrow, the family will return to the countryside for the New Year, Liao Fanmin has already planned, and he will go to Cheng Zhenlin's house to pay New Year's greetings in the first month, but Luo Yuhua has already called twice to inquire, which makes Liao Fanmin unable to hide.
Liao Fanmin certainly understood what the phone meant.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Liao Fanmin carried gifts such as cigarettes and alcohol to pay New Year's greetings to Cheng Zhenlin and Luo Yuhua.
In terms of time arrangement, Liao Fanmin took great pains, went at five o'clock in the afternoon, and soon had to eat, and after chatting for a while after eating, he could say goodbye, and Cheng Yijie would definitely ask him out for a walk, so that he could avoid talking more.
The time of knocking on the door was 5:20.
Cheng Zhenlin, Luo Yuhua and Cheng Yijie are all at home, which makes Liao Fanmin a little surprised, in his impression, Cheng Zhenlin is generally not at home and is busy with work.
Liao Fanmin's face was smiling, showing respect, but he was playing the drum in his heart, Cheng Zhenlin was very busy, the more things happened in the past few days, but he was waiting at home, it seemed that there must be something important to say today.
Sure enough, Luo Yuhua asked Cheng Yijie to go to a restaurant outside to book a table for a banquet.
Cheng Yijie left reluctantly.
Cheng Zhenlin, Luo Yuhua and Liao Fanmin were left in the living room.
The first to speak was Luo Yuhua.
"Xiaomin, my Xiaohui really didn't do well this time, we all complained about her, we have been doing work for her, we also think what girls are doing when they study abroad, but Xiaohui is a strong child, and always wants to make a career, even we don't listen to our words, we have been calling for the past few days, and this child doesn't answer the phone now."
Liao Fanmin endured and didn't speak, in front of the two elders, there was no need to show a tough attitude, as long as the two elders didn't force themselves to express their position, then they wouldn't say anything.
Luo Yuhua looked at Cheng Zhenlin and continued to speak.
"I don't understand, the United States is really that good, Lao Cheng, it's not me who said, look at a few cadres in the city who have been to the United States to the examination room, what did they say when they came back, they didn't need to shine their shoes when they went to the United States for a month to investigate, what is this, I don't believe that the United States doesn't have a little bit of dust, and the leather shoes they wear don't need to be wiped off. . . ."
Cheng Zhenlin frowned.
"Say something...
"I'm telling the truth, look at Xiaohui, I don't want to come back now, it's only been a long time, it's a little more than a year and a half, if another year or two passes, I'm afraid we won't be able to carry it back in a sedan chair...
What Luo Yuhua said, on the surface, was blaming Cheng Yahui, but Liao Fanmin heard something else, Luo Yuhua did not say that Cheng Yahui admired foreign charm, but was confused and disturbed, Cheng Yahui's biggest wish to stay in the United States is to show her personal ambitions.
Such ideas and pursuits, in today's society, there is no problem, on the contrary, they will be envied and sought after.
Liao Fanmin still didn't speak.
"Xiaomin, you see that Xiaohui is young, she is still not sensible, and she doesn't want to come back when she goes out, you still have to persuade her more, if you have the opportunity, you can also go to the United States to have a look, and talk about it face to face, I remember that the unit has to organize an inspection every year, and it is also a very common thing to go abroad for inspection, and you also strive for the opportunity to go to the United States to have a look, and by the way, talk to Xiaohui seriously. . . ."
Liao Fanmin listened very seriously, but he never spoke.
Luo Yuhua is obviously problematic with what he said, even if he goes to the United States to take the exam, do you think this kind of inspection is to enter the vegetable market, can you go anywhere, there is a strict route and schedule, and the time for free activities is about half a day at most, if you leave the overall arrangement without authorization and secretly go out to do other things, it is a political problem, and you may suffer the most severe punishment, and you may even destroy your future.
Of course, during the inspection, Liao Fanmin can also apply to the person in charge to meet Cheng Yahui, and he will definitely be approved.
It's a pity that Liao Fanmin will never do this, if he does, he will still leave a very bad impression, he is joking with his own future, and the unit pays you to go to the United States to study and investigate, not to let you meet your girlfriend.
Maybe Liao Fanmin didn't speak all the time, Cheng Zhenlin spoke.
"Xiaomin, Xiaohui is not sensible, but you are different, you have been working in the general office of the provincial government, joined the party for more than half a year, and was promoted to a deputy section-level cadre, which shows that your performance is excellent, and you have been affirmed by your superiors, I think you must be uncomfortable with Xiaohui's approach, but I hope you think about it from Xiaohui's point of view, slowly give her a job, there is still nearly a year and a half of study abroad, and there are many opportunities, if you have time, you can also apply to the United States to see, to meet Xiaohui, Your Aunt Luo said that you will meet during the inspection, that won't work, and you can't do that... ”
Cheng Zhenlin spoke, and Liao Fanmin couldn't continue to be silent.
"Uncle Cheng, Aunt Luo, I have been on the phone with Xiaohui, I hope Xiaohui will come back after completing her studies, but it is not wrong for Xiaohui to have her own pursuits, I can understand, I will try my best to discuss with Xiaohui next, see how to balance, how to find the best solution...
Cheng Zhenlin didn't speak, Luo Yuhua spoke.
"Xiaomin, your idea is good, and we will persuade Xiaohui in the future."
Cheng Zhenlin looked at Liao Fanmin seriously.
The phone in the living room rang, Luo Yuhua went over to answer the phone, and when he put down the phone, he was quite unhappy.
"Lao Cheng, I'm looking for you again, it's going to be the New Year, why are you still busy with so many things."
When Cheng Zhenlin answered the phone, he just hummed a few times, and when Cheng Zhenlin put the phone, Liao Fanmin hurriedly spoke.
"Uncle Cheng, you go and get busy."
"Okay, there are some things in the city, I really have to go over, Xiaomin, don't think about it so much."
During the meal, Liao Fanmin and Cheng Yijie drank a bottle of liquor.
After eating, Liao Fanmin went home, he did not agree to the singing and supper programs arranged by Cheng Yijie, and he just had a good rest when he went home.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Liao Zexi went home.
After listening to what Liao Fanmin said, Liao Zexi was silent for a long time, and finally said a word, letting Liao Fanmin make his own choice without the slightest concern.
Cheng Zhenlin also went home at ten o'clock, and Luo Yuhua was still waiting in the living room.
"Lao Cheng, I think Xiaomin, this kid, is quite reasonable...
Cheng Zhenlin looked at Luo Yuhua and shook his head gently.
"What do you know, Xiaomin's attitude is very clear."
"Why, didn't Xiaomin say it, he can understand Xiaohui's decision."
"Of course I can understand, you and I can understand, but the meaning of understanding is different."
Luo Yuhua didn't understand and looked at Cheng Zhenlin.
Cheng Zhenlin sighed.
"Xiaomin hasn't spoken before, I've always listened to you, why didn't he speak, what does silence mean, it means insisting on his own views, and expressing his thoughts euphemistically on his behalf, Xiaomin can understand Xiaohui's choice, can't Xiaohui understand Xiaomin's choice, have you ever seen an excellent boy who abandons his own future and attaches himself to a girl without hesitation, don't say Xiaomin, even if it is Xiaojie, he won't do it."
"That, what should I do, Xiaohui is a little wrong, but we can't always force Xiaohui to make a choice."
"I can't say that, Xiaomin is already very supportive of Xiaohui, supports Xiaohui to study abroad, and gives encouragement, otherwise Xiaohui would not have gone abroad, but Xiaohui has gone too far this time, we are embarrassed to face Xiaomin and Lao Liao, alas, the children's affairs, we still don't care too much, with them going, they will always make a choice."
"You, how can you do this attitude, Xiaomin is such an excellent boy, where will Xiaohui find it in the future...
