Chapter 37 Preparations for Marriage
Xia Chuchu and Chen Yi saw that Ye Ming's expression was awkward, his face was pale, and there was still a trace of blood left at the corner of his mouth, and he was still supported by Xu Lizhong, they couldn't help but be surprised and distressed, and the two of them grabbed it at the same time, supporting Ye Ming one by one, and asked anxiously: "Ye Ming, what's wrong with you?" Why are you emaciated like this? Is it sick? ”
Ye Ming shook his head sluggishly, and said in a weak tone: "It's okay, it's just that I'm a little depressed in my heart, my spirit is not good, and my body is fine." ”
At this time, the one-year-old Benben was put on the sofa by Chen Yi, and he was crawling around there enjoying himself. Seeing Ye Ming coming in, he stopped crawling, raised his head, looked at Ye Ming with his big clear eyes, and suddenly shouted in a childish voice: "Mom-Dad-"
It turned out that in order to make Xiao Benben feel close to Ye Ming in the future, Chen Yi first taught him to call "Mom" when he began to learn to speak, and then took out a photo of Ye Ming and taught him to call "Dad" by pointing to the photo. And Xiao Benben, like Ye Ming, belongs to the kind of person who is very talented in language, and his memory is much stronger than that of children of the same age.
Therefore, although Ye Ming and Xiao Benben did not meet many times, as soon as Xiao Benben saw him, he recognized him and happily called "Mom and Dad".
Although these two titles were indistinct, in Ye Ming's ears, they felt particularly beautiful and pleasant, and the extreme pain in his heart was also slightly reduced.
Xia Chuchu couldn't help but be surprised when he heard that Xiao Benben actually knew Ye Ming, and would call him "Dad", turned around and looked at Xiao Benben a few times, his heart moved, and he hurriedly walked over to pick up Xiao Benben, came to Ye Ming's side, and said to Ye Ming with a smile: "Hillbilly, look at it: Xiao Benben only knows you when he is more than a year old!" You make him laugh, he laughs so cutely, I just want to see him laugh. ”
Before Ye Ming could answer, Xiao Benben opened his arms in Xia Chuchu's arms, and while "giggling", he straightened up and threw himself at Ye Ming.
Ye Ming saw that Xia Chuchu was open-mouthed, and in front of Xu Lizhong, he said that Xiao Benben's "Dad" just now was calling him, and he was a little embarrassed in his heart, and turned his head to look at Xu Lizhong, but saw that his eyes were looking away, as if he hadn't heard Xia Chuchu's words.
So, Ye Ming had no choice but to open his arms, hugged Benben into his arms, kissed him a few times on his chubby little face, and raised him to throw him a few times in the air - this is Benben's favorite game to play. He was naturally bold, no matter how high Ye Ming threw him, he was not afraid, but the higher he tossed, the happier he was, and the more he laughed.
After Ye Ming teased Xiao Benben for a while, he still felt very depressed in his heart after all, and he always thought of Chen Mengqi in the hospital. However, in front of Xia Chuchu and Chen Yi, he didn't want to mention that he wanted to see Chen Mengqi, so he had to stay there sullenly, answering Xia Chuchu and Chen Yi's questions without a word.
Soon, Secretary Lu also went home from work. As soon as he got home, he couldn't hide it, and went straight to Xiao Benben, who was sitting on the sofa and playing, and stretched out his hands to him with a smile.
Xiao Benben is already very familiar with Secretary Lu, so, just like seeing Ye Ming come in just now, after seeing Secretary Lu, he also raised his eyes to look at Secretary Lu, and stretched out his arms to wave in the air, and screamed "Mom and Dad" in his mouth, which made Secretary Lu feel overjoyed, and picked him up, put his face on his little face, and taught him with a smile: "Good boy, I am not my parents, I am Grandpa Lu." Come, follow me: Grandpa, grandpa! ”
In order to avoid arousing the suspicion of Chen Yi and Xia Chuchu, Secretary Lu deliberately added the word "deer" in front of "grandpa". Because Secretary Lu has always loved Xiao Benben, Xia Chuchu and Chen Yi didn't feel anything abnormal about his affectionate behavior with Xiao Benben.
When Chen Yi saw Secretary Lu coming back, he walked into the kitchen and started stir-frying.
Secretary Lu was teasing Xiao Benben while chatting with Xia Chuchu very casually, while Ye Ming sat listlessly on a chair, not knowing what he was thinking.
After chatting for a while, Secretary Lu raised his eyes and glanced at the kitchen, and saw that the kitchen door was closed, and it was estimated that Chen Yi couldn't hear the conversation in the living room, so he asked, "Chu Chu, when are you and Ye Ming going to get married?" I'm a matchmaker, I'm waiting to drink your wine! Hehe! ”
Xia Chuchu didn't have a sense of restraint at all in front of Secretary Lu, glanced at Ye Ming, who didn't seem to hear Secretary Lu's question not far away, and said generously: "I have already made a decision with him: we will hold a wedding on New Year's Day next year, and now it is only two months." My parents are already preparing a dowry for me, and I want to discuss marriage with my parents again when I come back this time. ”
"Okay, okay, that's it!"
Secretary Lu happily said a few good words, and then turned to Ye Ming and said, "Xiao Ye, you also have to make some preparations here." New Year's Day is coming soon, and your new house here will also have to be renovated and decorated. I think, you can leave this matter to your Aunt Li to prepare! Now Comrade Runji is in Xijiang, and your Aunt Li is very idle in addition to going to work every day, which can just help you prepare for marriage. ”
At this time, Ye Ming, although the pain in his heart was slightly relieved because he saw Xia Chuchu, Chen Yi and Xiao Benben, but he still felt as if he had been filled with lead, and he was extremely uncomfortable, and he just wanted to go and see Chen Mengqi as soon as possible.
Therefore, after hearing his father's arrangement, he nodded ruthlessly, and then glanced at Xia Chuchu, who was looking at him with concern and expectation, and said angrily: "Aunt Li has already told me about this, and I have almost arranged the new house." Tomorrow Chuchu will go with me to see the new house, and then go buy some furniture and electrical appliances, and that's it. ”
After lunch, Xia Chuchu wanted to go back to the family home of the Provincial Local Taxation Bureau to visit his parents first, Chen Yi also wanted to see Li Jingya first, so the two of them asked Ye Ming if they were going together?
Ye Ming said: "You guys go and do your business first, I want to go to the hospital to see Qiqi." If she is sober, I would like to ask about the situation of Jinqiao Group. ”
Xia Chuchu and Chen Yi had originally made an appointment to go to see Chen Mengqi with Ye Ming tomorrow - because they knew that Ye Ming's emotions had not been relieved today, and they were afraid that if he went to see Chen Mengqi now, it would hurt even more. However, looking at his expression now, it is obviously impossible to wait until tomorrow, and they have already agreed with Xia Bicheng and Li Jingya respectively to go back in the afternoon. Therefore, they had to comfort Ye Ming a few words respectively, and then went to the family home of the Local Taxation Bureau together.
Secretary Lu saw that Ye Ming insisted on going to see Chen Mengqi now, and he couldn't stop him, so he had to let it go.
At half past two in the afternoon, Ye Ming drove to the Third Affiliated Hospital, bought a large bouquet of carnations to hold, and went to the inpatient department to ask Chen Mengqi which ward he was in? However, to his surprise: yesterday afternoon, Chen Mengqi actually completed the discharge procedures and transferred to the hospital!
