Chapter 60: Welcoming the Delegation [2-in-1]
[~~ Ask for collections, ask for recommendations, ask for rewards! 】
Ye Chen subconsciously thought of Ma Long, Qi Yumeng appeared here, did Ma Long know?
Or is it because Qi Yumeng went to find Ma Long first that he found out about the two of them?
Otherwise, how did she show up at the police station so quickly?
Although these are all speculations, if Qi Yumeng really went to find Ma Long, Ye Chen would still feel extremely uncomfortable...... Even if Ye Chen has already determined, the relationship between him and Qi Yumeng is already in the past.
However, men's possessiveness will not change in any way because of the past, so to speak, there is no man in the world who wants to see a woman who has been with him come into contact with other men...... Especially since this man is still his own enemy.
It's like a private item that once belonged to you and was suddenly taken by the enemy...... That feeling is naturally greasy.
Of course, all this is just Ye Chen's unfounded speculation......
"What's wrong with you? Why is your face so ugly, do they really not care about you? Qi Yumeng looked at Ye Chen's face and turned bad again, and couldn't help but ask again.
"Hehe, it's okay."
Ye Chen calmed down and grinned, "When did you come here?" Why didn't you tell me, I'm going to pick you up, right? ”
"Poof, why did you pick me up? You almost got into the game today, and you picked me up! ”
Qi Yumeng didn't realize that Ye Chen was testing her, but felt happy because of Ye Chen's words.
"You just arrived today?" Seeing Qi Yumeng nodding, Ye Chen couldn't help frowning and asked.
"What about you...... How do you know I'm in the police station? ”
"Hey, guess?" Qi Yumeng winked playfully.
"Forget it, forget it, thank you anyway."
Ye Chen already had a preconceived belief in his heart that Qi Yumeng had designated that he would go to find Ma Long first to know about his affairs, and his tone was obviously alienated...... Subsequently, dumbfounded, why bother, they have already broken up, are they still not allowed to make friends? Ye Chen, Ye Chen, when did you become so domineering...... However, I just feel uncomfortable!
"Cut, no energy at all."
Qi Yumeng muttered, but the playfulness on her face disappeared without a trace, Ye Chen's expression once again made her understand that Ye Chen was no longer the Ye Chen who belonged to her, and would no longer be crazy with her like doting, and would make trouble with her...... Qi Yumeng's expression was a little gloomy, and she said self-deprecatingly.
"Don't worry...... It was Lin Huanxi who told me that you came to look for Ma Long, and I just got out of the car and went to Ma Long to look for you. ”
"What? Huanxi? Ye Chen's eyes widened suddenly.
"What? Surprised? Qi Yumeng's face was not surprised at all.
"What's so surprising about this, I called Lin Huanxi in the name of my old classmate and said that I wanted to come to Yi'an County to see you, and then, she told me that you came to find Ma Long, and told me where Ma Long worked, I went, and then I knew."
When Qi Yumeng said this, she turned her head to look at Ye Chen on the side, and said so carelessly.
After Ye Chen listened, his heart was shocked.
He suddenly understood Lin Huanxi's intentions, Lin Huanxi must have known that his stinky temper would definitely not be able to help beating people when he met Ma Long, and she herself was the fuse that caused the hatred between the two, even if she was worried, she also knew that her coming would only cause a greater misunderstanding and add fuel to the fire. It is estimated that at this time, Lin Huanxi received a call from Qi Yumeng, even though Lin Huanxi was reluctant, he still told Ye Chen's whereabouts, of course, the purpose was to let Qi Yumeng be a detective and see if Ye Chen was okay.
Moreover, Ye Chen was sure that when Qi Yumeng called Lin Huanxi, he specified that he was already in the car that came to Yian County, and the purpose of calling Lin Huanxi was just to inform Lin Huanxi that she Qi Yumeng was here, and she had no intention of asking...... Besides, even if Qi Yumeng called Lin Huanxi in advance, then according to Lin Huanxi's gentle surname, most of them would not be able to find a reason to object.
"What, you don't believe it?" Qi Yumeng looked at Ye Chen, who was deep in thought.
"Faith."
Ye Chen smiled slightly, his face unconsciously brought a sense of tenderness, he really believed that with Lin Huanxi's love for him, he could indeed do such a thing.
“……”
After four years of getting along day and night, Qi Yumeng immediately understood the tenderness on Ye Chen's face, which originally belonged only to her, but she knew that this gentleness was definitely not for herself...... Qi Yumeng couldn't help but feel a tingling pain in her heart, and suddenly she couldn't speak anymore.
……
Liu Zhengkui had already made it clear on the phone that the city's delegation would come down tomorrow.
Ye Chen naturally had to go back and prepare well, at least the sanitation in the village had to let Wu Laofeng organize the people in the village to tidy up and clean up, although the three rejection clauses given by Ma Long before were all found casually, but they also gave Ye Chen a wake-up call.
In the future, the hygiene of the village, including the overall appearance of the villagers, should be improved, and it is best to be able to have some entertainment activities, such as regular movies, organize performances in the village, etc., to improve the unity and cultural literacy of the villagers.
After all, culture is the soul that supports the inheritance of a civilization, and it cannot be sloppy.
And since Qi Yumeng had already called Lin Huanxi to inform her, Ye Chen would naturally not be afraid to take Qi Yumeng home anymore.
However, before going back, Ye Chen still called Lin Huanxi to tell him, and after hearing Lin Huanxi's calm answer on the phone, Ye Chen was completely relieved.
"Ye Chen, who is this?"
The Ye family is now idle, after Yu Muling and Tang Shui and others left, now only Tutu, the little heartthrob, is still at home, this will, the queen mother next door Ye Mother Li Lan is sitting at the door of Ye Door, and Li Lan is holding Xiao Tutu to teach her to fold a small paper boat, chatting with Wang Ma with a loving smile on her face...... As soon as he looked up, he saw that Ye Chen had brought back a girl who was like a flower and jade, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Boom, boom, you're back, Tutu wants to kill you~~"
And before Ye Chen could answer, Xiao Tutu, who was originally concentrating on learning the origami boat, saw Ye Chen, and immediately broke free from Ye's mother's arms with a look of surprise, and pounced on Ye Chen's body at once, Ye Chen really didn't pay much attention to this little guy in the past few days.
Two days ago, it was because Nalan Qing came, and today he went to the county.
Originally, Ye Chen thought that this little guy didn't coax himself, and he would not be able to adapt to it. Ye Chen didn't expect that this little Tutu was much smarter and more likable than he imagined. It's only been two days, not only has he completely established a good relationship with Mother Ye and Father Ye, but even the mother next door has taken Xiao Tutu as a baby...... And Xiao Tutu is lying in Ye's mother's arms when he is fine, and his intimacy is even closer than treating Lin Huanxi, his own aunt......
Of course, Ye's mother Li Lan, who has long wanted a granddaughter, naturally loves this girl, and she holds it in her arms whenever she has time, and the smile on her face is obviously more than before, and the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes seem to be much less......
"Little girl, are you well-behaved at home~"
"Good, but good~~ I've never seen such an obedient child." The Wang Ma next door smiled and answered for Tutu, and Wang Ma's eyes also looked at Qi Yumeng, and said in her heart that this Ye Chen is really capable, this has just left five girls who are like flowers and jade, and there is another one, and there is a better one in this house...... If only my own son was so capable......
"Oh, this is my college classmate with Huanxi, and he's here to play for a few days." Ye Chen naturally didn't know what Wang Ma was thinking, so he introduced with a smile.
"Hello aunt, I'm Qi Yumeng." Qi Yumeng politely returned the gift.
"Qi Yumeng?" Li Lan was stunned when she heard this, why does this girl look a little familiar? It looks like I've seen the picture somewhere.
Wait, Qi Yumeng...... Even...... Yumeng...... It's not ......
Mother Ye suddenly remembered who Qi Yumeng was, wasn't this the girlfriend Ye Chen had told him about in college?
It turned out that when Ye Chen was in college and fell in love, he hid it from his family at first, but then he was about to graduate from his senior year, thinking that he was old enough, and that his relationship with Qi Yumeng was extremely stable and could definitely achieve positive results, so he secretly told his mother about having a girlfriend, and showed his mother the ordinary photo......
Who thought about it, not long after telling the family, the two were separated, and when Ye Chen came back again, he brought Lin Huanxi back, although Ye Mu was a little strange at the time, but Lin Huanxi won Ye Mu's heart, so she didn't ask...... It's just that now this bastard boy is bringing this woman home again?
Although the woman in front of her looks quite beautiful, after all, Lin Huanxi is Ye Chen's real girlfriend!
"Mom......" Ye Chen saw his mother's expression, naturally knew what she was thinking, smiled bitterly, and regretted that he was talking too much and told his mother about falling in love, but if he thought about it from Ye Chen's perspective at that time...... It is understandable to take out the treasure of your beloved woman and share it with your family. Who would have thought that what happened later would be so bloody?
"This is the ordinary classmate I told you about...... Oh, by the way, why didn't Huanxi come out? Ye Chen changed the subject.
"Oh...... Huanxi? She said that she was going to go to the vegetable garden for a stroll and let me take care of Tutu at home......" Mother Ye saw Ye Chen say this, so she didn't ask much.
"Vegetable garden? Herself? ”
Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, and it was a little strange, this girl had never done any farm work, why did she go to the vegetable garden?
Ye Chen was a little uneasy, and he didn't care about Qi Yumeng beside him, and said.
"Mom, you accompany Yumeng to chat first, and I'll go to the vegetable garden to find Huanxi to ......"
"Hehe, don't look for it, I'm already back."
As soon as Ye Chen's words fell, a voice came from behind him, but it was not Lin Huanxi, who was carrying a basket full of fresh vegetables with a smile on his face, who else could there be?
"I heard that Yumeng was coming, so I went to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables...... It's all home-grown, fresh, Yumeng must have never eaten it, give it a try~" Lin Huanxi smiled politely at Qi Yumeng and said.
"Ah, so you went to pick vegetables? I thought you'd just go shopping, look at you...... If I had known, how could I let you go, I'll just go. Although Mother Ye had a reproachful tone on her mouth, when she saw the vegetables picked by Lin Huanxi herself, she couldn't close her mouth with a smile on her face, and the mother on the side was also envious...... Nonsense, this is a daughter-in-law doing work, can you not be happy?
"That's it, just let my mom go." Ye Chen also smiled.
Actually, Tutu also wanted to go to the vegetable garden...... Next time, can my aunt take Tutu with her? The little tutu hanging on Ye Chen's body blinked, and his little hand flexibly touched out a ripe tomato from Lin Huanxi's basket, and said seriously.
"Haha, okay, I'll take you next time."
Tutu's immature and cute words immediately caused several people to laugh, but, on the side, Qi Yumeng, who was standing there alone, looked at everyone with a happy and natural smile on their faces, but the smile on their faces was a little stiff...... It turned out that he was an outsider......
It's a shame that I still swear that I want to snatch Ye Chen back, and now it seems that ......
Just, are you willing?
Qi Yumeng asked herself, with an endless wry smile on her face...... Even if there is a point of no return ahead, that's your choice, isn't it?
……
After a few people entered the house, Lin Huanxi took a bench for Qi Yumeng and poured water, the action was natural and unrestrained, as if it had been repeated thousands of times, and it was true that this work of pouring tea and water, during this time, Lin Huanxi took the initiative to take the initiative, patiently serving the second elder, I am afraid, now in Ye Chen's house, the placement of some things, Lin Huanxi must know better than Ye Chen.
Obviously, Lin Huanxi has completely regarded Ye Chen's home as his own home, and he has also treated Ye Chen's parents as his own parents.
But this series of actions, looking at Qi Yumeng's heart, is that Lin Huanxi is announcing her status as the hostess, and it is naturally very uncomfortable to watch.
"Oh, by the way, Huanxi, you guys talk first, tomorrow the city's delegation will come to our village, I'll go to the village chief Wu Laofeng to prepare now."
Ye Chen saw that there was no way between the two, so he found a reason to retreat early.
Wu Laofeng was waiting for Ye Chen's news in the village committee brigade, and when he saw Ye Chen coming, he immediately greeted him.
"How? Is the audit done? ”
"Not really...... However, there is news that tomorrow the delegation of the new rural pilot in the city will come to our village. At that time, as long as our village gets the opportunity of the new rural pilot in the city and becomes a demonstration village, then the examination and approval will be easy to do. Ye Chen said.
"Really, great! …… Oh, by the way, do we need to prepare something? Wu Laofeng was overjoyed.
"Prepare, of course. The population of the village, the finances of the past few years, and all the basic information must be prepared......"
"Well, it's all locked in the safe."
"Well, that's good, and it's better to clean the streets of our village. It's best to clean the house, and the glass and the like should be cleaned......"
"Okay, I'll arrange it."
Wu Laofeng is now obedient to Ye Chen's words, and after hearing Ye Chen's words, he ran to the house and shouted into the loudspeaker, emphasizing the benefits of becoming a pilot in the city's rural areas to his Zhibei Village......
Although the countryside is backward, it has an advantage, that is, it is easy to organize anything in the village, and the cohesion is very strong......
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Chen mentioned to Wu Laofeng again the matter of showing movies to the village and organizing a performance team.
"It's good to put on a movie...... Lu Hu in the west of the village has a movie machine at home, but it can be organized, but this performance team is ...... You also know that if we rural people are hoeing in the fields and planting crops, we are good at it, but in the matter of performing a show, in addition to beating a gong and a drum, I think it is really ...... hanging" Wu Laofeng said the truth.
"Hehe, it's okay, as long as you organize people, I will hire a professional instructor to help us train at that time."
"That's a good feeling...... However, there is not much money in this village. Wu Laofeng was greatly moved, raised his head and looked at Ye Chen with some embarrassment, the meaning was self-evident......
"Haha, don't worry, I'll pay out of my own pocket!"
