Chapter 49: On Marriage
When Ye Kai returned home, he still had a beautiful expression.
"What are you so happy about, you have a good score in the mock exam? What was that thing you carried back? When my mother Meng Zhaohua saw it, she couldn't help but ask with some curiosity.
Ye Kai patted the backpack on his back and said mysteriously, "This thing? It's amazing to say it! This is your son's happiness! ”
"What?" Meng Zhaohua was stunned for a moment, and before he could ask him a few more words, Ye Kai ran back to his room.
Meng Zhaohua looked suspicious, and when she wanted to chase after her and interrogate her, Ye Ziping also came back, she hurriedly greeted her, helped Ye Ziping take off her coat, and hung it on the hanger.
"Is Xiao Kai back?" Ye Ziping asked casually.
"A few minutes before you, go back to your room." Meng Zhaohua replied, and then said a little depressedly, "This kid didn't know what was going on, and he ran away without saying a few words." ”
"You don't have to be depressed, when the child is older, there will always be such a process of change, just adapt slowly." Ye Ziping's mentality was very stable.
"That's what I said, but whoever rests on it will not feel comfortable in anyone's heart." Meng Zhaohua replied in a somewhat dull mood.
"Okay, I'll teach him a couple of lessons for you later." Ye Ziping laughed and patted Meng Zhaohua on the shoulder and comforted.
Although the Meng family is not a big political family, it is very rich in the economy, Meng Zhaohua's two brothers both hold important positions in the financial system, and they are known as the God of Wealth in Jiangzhong Province, and their influence is relatively large.
Ye Kai's grandfather, that is, Meng Yunshan, the old man of Meng, is a great Confucian in the world and a famous master of Chinese culture.
It's just that today's Chinese culture has not yet flourished, far less than the Chinese culture twenty years later, it has been hyped up, and any professor who runs out to say two sentences can be respected as a master of Chinese culture.
It is precisely because of the commercialization and utilitarianization of Chinese culture later that a new term has been created, cynicism.
Of course, Mr. Meng Yunshan Meng is not a cynic, but a truly respected master of Chinese culture.
Back then, even when Taizu was in power and suppressed Confucianism with Legalist drastic means, and even in the ten-year catastrophe when the law was no longer able to maintain the entire country, Meng Yunshan and Old Man Meng did not give up his beliefs and ethics because of all kinds of pressure, such a figure is truly worthy of respect.
Although Meng Zhaohua is destined to not be able to develop in her career because of her husband Ye Ziping's relationship, she pays more attention to the construction of spiritual civilization, and is currently working in the Central Civilization Office, mainly engaged in some theoretical research.
After all, now is a sensitive period, the direction of the whole society is a little obscure, and the work of the Civilization Office is also in semi-stagnation, so she simply asked for leave and went home to study the theory.
After a while, Ye Kai ran out of the room again, smiling and looking happy.
"Mom, what do you eat at night?" Ye Kai asked.
"Lose weight at night and stop eating." Meng Zhaohua replied.
"Isn't it?" Ye Kai responded, obviously a little unconvinced.
Meng Zhaohua has a very good physique, although he is almost forty years old, he is not out of shape at all, where is the need to lose weight? In this way, it is estimated that it is mainly to tease Ye Kai.
Sure enough, before the words fell, the nanny at home prepared the meal.
However, the recipes of the Lao Ye family are basically fixed, regardless of the morning and evening, there are four dishes and one soup, rice steamed buns are randomly arranged, and sometimes noodles, dumplings, buns or oil cakes are eaten, and in the morning, the four dishes become side dishes.
Originally, I ate a lot of pickles and pickles in the morning, but after Ye Kai emphasized that there were more nitrites in them, which were easy to cause cancer, the old Ye family changed to fresh vegetables, but the pickles and pickles did not completely leave the table.
After eating a meal, Ye Ziping asked Ye Kai, "What did you take when you went home?" ”
Ye Kai glanced at his father Ye Ziping, and saw that his mother Meng Zhaohua was also looking at him, knowing that these two would never ask him casually, but this was not a big deal, so he replied casually, "My classmate's violin is broken, I want to find a master, fix it, and see if it can be restored to its original state?" ”
"Oh, girl, huh?" Meng Zhaohua interjected and asked.
"Hmm." Ye Kai nodded.
"I knew it must be a female classmate." Meng Zhaohua said.
If it weren't for a female classmate, Ye Kai wouldn't be so happy, wouldn't he?
"Ahem." Ye Ziping coughed, frowned and said, "After the New Year, it won't be long before you take the college entrance examination, you still have less hot things and more preparation for the exam." It's not that friends of the opposite sex can't be socialized, but on the premise of not affecting your studies, you must also have a standard in your own heart. Besides, the old man also has arrangements for your affairs, don't bother other other people's little girls casually, so as to save everyone uncomfortable in the future. ”
"Oh, got it." Ye Kai replied in a sullen voice.
Dad Ye Ziping's meaning, Ye Xingxing is clear inside.
As a member of a big family, you can't make your own decisions about your own marriage, everything must be based on the premise of serving the big family, and political marriage is also very important for the family, although marriage may not be able to connect the two big families closely, but it is an effective means of communication after all, so the major families in Beijing often look for a suitable marriage partner and put it into action.
Earlier, Old Man Ye mentioned this matter, saying that Comrade Chu Feng's granddaughter was more suitable for Ye Kai, and Comrade Chu Feng himself didn't seem to have any other opinions, just waiting for a suitable opportunity for the two sides to meet, and then the matter was settled.
Alas, blind marriage and dumb marriage! Ye Kai sighed in his heart, shook his head, and couldn't help but ask his mother Meng Zhaohua, "Mom, how does Lao Chu's granddaughter look, won't it be too bleak, right?" ”
Meng Zhaohua glared at his son, "Even if it's a crooked melon and a cracked date, it's the old man's choice for you!" ”
Ye Kai pursed his lips, and said in his heart that my mother's words are powerful, and Old Man Ye's words are undoubted.
But this is nothing, Ye Kai does not have any idea of rejection of political marriage, this is also a contribution to the family, even if it is not suitable for each other, you can find your own one, the children of Jingzhong, how many people are not like this?
As for Ye Kai, he had already seen it.
