The toys and children's food that Ye Ming bought were all packed in a large plastic bag, which looked bulging, so when Xiao Jin opened the door and saw that he was carrying such a big bag in his hand, his face immediately changed, he leaned sideways at the door, glared at Zhang Lingzhi dissatisfiedly, and then turned his head to look at the bag in Ye Ming's hand again, and asked angrily: "County Magistrate Zhang, what kind of reputation are you doing, you brought Xiao Ye to give me suggestions and ideas, why do you mention so many things, others don't understand my spleen, Don't you County Magistrate Zhang understand, it's really a mess of playing the piano. ”

Zhang Lingzhi hurriedly laughed and said: "Director Xiao, Xiao Ye does have a few good ideas and suggestions, you will understand when you hear it, as for these things he mentioned, they are all small toys and small foods bought for Xiao Hua, which is Xiao Ye's heart, don't blame him, otherwise, you check and check first." ”

Ye Ming also hurriedly smiled and said: "Director Xiao, County Magistrate Zhang has introduced you to me many times, saying that you are a very honest and spotless good leader, so you can rest assured, I will not mention any expensive gifts to visit you, you see, these are indeed some small toys for Xiaohua's younger brother to play with, and a little bit of food that children love to eat, nothing else." ”

As he spoke, he really pulled the big bag open for Xiao Jin to see.

Xiao Jin lowered his head and looked into the bag very seriously for a while, and saw that it was indeed just some children's toys and food, and the expression on his face relaxed, and he moved his body away from the door and invited Ye Ming and Zhang Lingzhi in.

After Ye Ming entered the living room, he looked around and found that as Zhang Lingzhi said, Director Xiao's house looked relatively poor at first glance: this was a three-bedroom and two-living room house, the living room was empty, there were almost no decent furniture, only an octagonal stove for winter fire, still iron; two old wooden sofas, with peeling paint on them, arranged at right angles to the east and west; Between the two sofas is a small counter with some books and stationery messily placed on it; On the wall facing the doorway, there is a large wall mirror that was more fashionable in the nineties of the last century, but now it has long been outdated, which is the most luxurious decoration in this living room; The ground is covered with a lattice of purple sè porcelain plates, which are also very old.

There is no air conditioning in the living room, and a rusty ceiling fan is turning overhead, making a creaking sound, which makes people nervous, for fear that it will suddenly fall from the top of their heads; Since it was the hot season, the living room was very stuffy, and the wind blowing out of the electric fan was also hot, and he didn't feel cool at all......

Ye Ming couldn't help but feel a little sour and sighed when he saw this living room that revealed a poor atmosphere everywhere: Director Xiao is also a department-level cadre, and he is still in the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, but his family is not as good as an ordinary citizen family, let alone compared with some other officials, although there are objective reasons for this, such as his son is sick, his wife is laid off, and his parents and younger brother need to be raised and taken care of, etc., but if Director Xiao is a little "smart", Relax a little bit of strictness with himself, and he will never be able to be as poor as he is now.

It can be seen from this that Zhang Lingzhi's evaluation of him is completely considerable and correct, and this Director Xiao is definitely a clean and good official with clean sleeves and dust......

Xiao Jin saw that Ye Ming was looking around at his living room, and his eyes showed a look of surprise, so he laughed self-deprecatingly, and said: "Xiao Ye, you are the first time to come to my house, do you think that my house is too simple and shabby, many people come to my house for the first time, and their faces will show a look like you now, however, I have never felt embarrassed, and I have never been afraid of others coming to my house to see this dilapidated appearance, my family is already difficult, this is not a scandal, right, but, I see you're sweating profusely and hot, and you young people may not be able to stand the stuffy air in my house, so let's go to my son's bedroom, which is the only air-conditioned room in my house. ”

As he spoke, Xiao Jin pushed open the door of the innermost bedroom and walked in with Zhang Lingzhi and Ye Ming.

This bedroom is equipped with a wall-mounted air conditioner, as soon as you go in, it will be cold, Xiao Jin's son Xiaohua is sitting at the desk reading a comic book, when he saw someone coming in, his face showed a shy look, and he lowered his head, not daring to look at Zhang Lingzhi and Ye Ming.

Ye Ming saw that Xiaohua had clear eyebrows, white teeth and red lips, just looking at his appearance, he was indeed a very cute child, but his right leg was as small as a hemp rod, hanging under the chair, which made people feel extremely distressed and dazzling at first glance......

Xiao Jin showed a very loving and gentle expression on his face to his son, walked over and bowed his head, and while caressing his son's cheek lovingly with his hand, he said softly: "Xiaohua, you go to the bed and lie down first, Dad wants to talk to these two uncles about something, half an hour is fine, after the conversation, Dad will tell you a story and you will sleep, okay." ”

When Xiao Jin was talking to Xiao Hua, Ye Ming had already opened the bag in his hand, took out the remote control plane from it, walked up to Xiao Hua, and said with a smile: "Xiao Hua, can you play a game with your brother first, you see, this plane can fly, I'll let him fly one for you first." ”

Xiao Hua raised his eyes and looked at the very beautiful airplane model in Ye Ming's hand, the shy expression on his face was immediately replaced by a childlike curiosity, and he raised his head and glanced at Xiao Jin, his eyes revealing a longing look.

Xiao Jin saw that his son wanted to see Ye Ming perform the airplane flight, so he nodded to Ye Ming and said, "Xiao Ye, then you make one for Xiao Hua first, and after reading it, let him lie on the bed first, and let's talk about things first." ”

Ye Ming took the plane and put it on the floor, then took out a boxy remote control box, turned on the power, and pressed the remote control button, only to see that the small plane on the ground suddenly flashed with colorful lights, and made a "boom" sound, and began to taxi on the floor.

Ye Ming waited for the plane to taxi to the floor, and suddenly pressed the green sè button next to him, only to see that the small plane was just like a real passenger plane, with its head raised and tail cocked, and began to rise into the air, and it flew back and forth in the bedroom......

Xiao Hua has been watching Ye Ming intently, when he saw the plane take off, he was so excited that he almost jumped up from the chair, it turned out that due to the poor economic conditions at home, although Xiao Jin loved his son, he rarely bought him any valuable toys, Xiao Hua saw a small plane that could fly remotely today, and his eyes immediately revealed a look of longing and excitement......

As soon as Xiao Jin looked at the workmanship and function of this small plane, he guessed that this little toy must be expensive, at least a few hundred yuan, and saw that his son was so happy and excited, so he turned his head and glanced at Ye Ming, who was enthusiastically cāo longitudinal plane model, and his eyes finally showed a look of satisfaction and gratitude......
