The dark clouds in the sky were dark and heavy, thunder and lightning came one after another, and then the raindrops of beans fell from the sky, splashing and washing over the old but full of life.

Li Ye sent away Xia Yanan, who still had to go to work, in the morning, and asked for her home phone number, and agreed to wait two days to find her. Then I set off to my parents' house, and the sun was still coming out when I left, but the weather in Yuzhou in June was unpredictable, and I never thought that the rainstorm would come halfway.

As a child who grew up in this rainy city, the designer has a special affection for rainy days. Hiding on the side of the road and looking at the dense rain like a curtain, Li Ye's thoughts drifted back to the past, the girl who likes to run wantonly in the rain, the girl with a pure heart, now that she is not by her side, will she still have such a carefree and clean smile?

He felt a faint pain in his heart, after all, thirty years of life is not something that can be parted with, the fresh and eternal love has helplessly become a thing of the past, coupled with the confusion brought by the unfamiliar parents, Li Ye plunged into the rain, not caring about the cold rain soaking his clothes, and slowly walked towards the familiar and unfamiliar community in his memory.

After China shifted from a planned economy to a market economy, it gradually abolished the system of subdivided housing for welfare. However, his father was a cadre transferred to the local government, and after working in the public security bureau for a year, the district government still allocated a house to his family in this community in accordance with the policy. Most of the residents in the community are leaders and employees of the district government, and ordinary people need to register their identity information when entering and exiting.

The doorman of the community looked at the soaking boy walking in the rain, and subconsciously wanted to stop him, but after getting closer, he still recognized that this was the child of the public security chief's family, and put him in, wondering how he didn't take a taxi like this, and then shook his head, and quickly left this matter behind.

Li Ye stood at the door of the house, looking at the black security door, but the hand holding the key couldn't open the door for a long time, even if there were countless memories of 'parents' in his mind, really waiting for the moment to face them, it still made him hesitate, I don't know how long he stood there, there was a sound of footsteps in the aisle, Li Ye gritted his teeth, inserted the key into the keyhole, unscrewed the door and walked in.

Gu Xinmei was boiling soup in the kitchen, the duck meat in the red casserole was churning with the boiling water, exuding a rich aroma, and when she heard the sound of the door opening and closing in the living room, Gu Xinmei turned down the heat and walked towards the living room.

"Is Xiao Ye back? I made you duck soup, you watch TV in the living room first, and your dad won't be back until later............ Ouch, why are you drenched like this, you don't know how old you are to buy an umbrella when it rains? ”

Gu Xinmei saw Li Ye who was like a chicken in soup, and rushed over, and without saying a word, she took off Li Ye's soaked clothes, "If you still give me self-reliance, I have to go out to live, I shouldn't give you the key to that house, do you look like a person who can live independently?" Your dad too, what do you say, it's better to go out and exercise by yourself, exercise a fart......"

Although "Mom" has been brewing in his heart for a long time, the first time he shouted, Li Ye still felt a little unnatural in his heart, "It's a little rainy, it's not in the way." ”

The kind-faced woman had a reproachful look on her face at the moment, and she angrily pushed Li Ye into the bathroom, "Go and go, just your bamboo pole body, it's strange if you don't catch a cold, you hurry up and take a hot bath for me, I'll go find some medicine for you to put on the coffee table, and give it to me after washing." ”

Li Ye was helpless, washed perfunctorily, changed into dry clothes, and looked at Gu Xinmei who was busy in the kitchen, her heart was very complicated, she didn't know that her son was now fused with a soul who came to this other world, and he was regarded as a child who did not distinguish between grains and grains, but Li Ye felt that great and selfless maternal love.

The TV in the living room was playing a shoddy martial arts drama, Li Ye sat on the sofa bored, watching Gu Xinmei bring the dishes out of the kitchen, and he also walked into the kitchen. Gu Xinmei looked at her son who put the dishes and chopsticks on the table in surprise, but she didn't expect that the little young master in the family was a lot more sensible, but the original Li Ye would never do these things.

When the sound of the door opening came again, Li Ye turned his head and looked at the door, the man at the door was tall, with a square and majestic face slightly flushed, and his back was straight as a soldier, giving people a feeling of being resolute.

Li Zhengbang changed into slippers, took off his coat, put it on the sofa, and then sat down at the dining table, Gu Xinmei put the stewed duck soup on the table from the kitchen, and took a bottle of beer from the refrigerator and put it in front of him.

Li Zhengbang poured the beer into the glass, took a sip, burped happily, and then smiled at Li Ye, "Stinky boy ran out of money?" ”

Li Ye was stunned for a moment, and then understood that there was nothing like Alipay and WeChat this year, Li Ye's monthly living expenses were directly asked for by his parents, Li Zhengbang thought that this kid had squandered the money, and he would go home to ask for living expenses.

"No, I've been at home these days, and I haven't used much money."

"How is the piano learning, I heard your sister Han say that you haven't been to her much recently."

"It's okay, it's all practiced at home."

Li Ye chatted with his parents while eating, but he was thinking in his heart how to quietly inquire about whether there was any entanglement of interests between his father and Song Sicheng, deputy secretary of the district party committee. Gu Xinmei took a bite of food into Li Ye's bowl, and then spoke: "I recently met the little girl from the old Tang family, saying that you have made a lot of progress recently. “

"You will study the piano at your sister Han this holiday, don't be naughty everywhere, just wait for the start of school honestly, I have inquired about it, you and the girls of the old Tang family are in Li Jixin's class, you and your classmates are in good place."

Li Ye listened to his mother talking there, it is estimated that this Li Jixin is the age director, Yuzhou No. 1 Middle School is one of the best middle schools in Yuzhou, and the heads of local politics and business like to send their children to this school, and the teachers of each subject in the class led by the age director are the top in the school, and the students in this class are either top-notch or have a good relationship, which is also one of the unwritten rules.

It stands to reason that Li Zhengbang is not a powerful official, but Yuzhou, as a municipality directly under the central government, has an administrative level of "prefecture and city level (department level)", Li Zhengbang is Chinese New Year's Eve eight today, and it is very likely that he will be the deputy head of Xinbei District at the age of 40, and he is a new star in the political arena of Yuzhou.

As for Lao Tang, he is talking about Tang Deliang, director of the Yuzhou Municipal Transportation Commission, and his daughter is Tang Wanwan, who studied the piano with Li Ye.

"Do you want to be a classmate with Tang Wanwan again? That's not to annoy you. ”

"Stinky boy, what's annoying, it's not that you are disgusted all day long." Gu Xinmei glanced at Li Ye coldly, "The daughter of the old Song family will also be classmates with you in the future, hold a banquet before school starts, and pull Lao Tang up when the time comes, let you get to know each other first, you give me a little cleverness." ”

Gu Xinmei's meaning is naturally to let Li Ye have a good relationship with these peers, after all, the class and circle that a person belongs to will greatly affect a person's future, but Li Ye was moved, "Old Song, is it Song Sicheng Song's secretary, and her daughter is also a classmate with me?" We have a good relationship? ”

Li Zhengbang glanced at Li Ye, "Why do you care about this?" Then he showed a meaningful smile, "I have seen Song Xiaojia, the daughter of the old Song, a very smart little girl, the middle school is the same school as you, but in the class next to you, you should have seen it, right?" “

"At your age, it's normal to have a good impression of the beautiful opposite sex, but don't have any bad intentions, let alone affect your studies, but what, when I was studying, I knew Lao Song, and when I was demobilized and returned to Yuzhou, Lao Song also contributed, if you can Song Xiaojia be a friend, it's not a bad thing."

Li Zhengbang paused, and added, "When I met your mother, I was only seventeen." ”

Where has Li Ye seen any Song Xiaojia, Li Zhengbang misunderstood his thoughts, but hearing his words, Li Ye let go of the worries in his heart, and he didn't need to explain. From this point of view, Li Zhengbang and Song Sicheng should have some friendship, but the Zhenghe Group wants to deal with Song Sicheng, but I don't know if Li Zhengbang knows about it.

After lunch, Li Ye helped Gu Xinmei clean up the table and wash the dishes and chopsticks, which surprised Gu Xinmei and Li Zhengbang, Li Zhengbang also smiled and said that the stinky boy had really grown a lot after going out to live independently for a while, and Gu Xinmei didn't mention the matter of letting Li Ye move back to live.
