Before entering the family home of the provincial bureau, Xu Fei walked into a small supermarket and bought two boxes of brain platinum and a bag of apples.

Ye Ming asked a little strangely: "Director Xu, doesn't Secretary Li never accept gifts?" You bring these things to his house, and you are not afraid of eating behind closed doors? ”

Xu Fei shook his head and said, "Xiao Ye, don't think of Secretary Li as so impersonal. Secretary Li was a sick and wounded man, and his old mother lived in his house. I buy some supplements and fruits for the elderly to go to his house, and visit the sick and the elderly, which is a normal human relationship, and there is an essential difference from the gifts in the officialdom. Although Secretary Li is a leader, he is also very humane, and he will never sweep me out of the house because I am carrying a gift. ”

Ye Ming then remembered: It was the first time he went to Secretary Li's house today, and Secretary Li's mother was also there, so he should buy something and carry it in his hand.

So, he also bought two boxes of golden partners and a big bag of longan, and came to Room 802, Unit 2, Building 3, Family Courtyard of the Provincial Bureau, with Xu Fei - this is Secretary Li's home.

Secretary Li's lover Li Jingya has taken leave to serve him at home these days. When she opened the door and saw Ye Ming, she immediately turned her head happily and shouted, "Lao Li, Xiao Ye is here!" ”

It was only then that she found Xu Fei behind Ye Ming, and asked a little unexpectedly, "Director Xu, why are you so early?" Do you know Xiaoye? ”

Xu Fei said with a smile: "Hello Director Li! Ye Ming is my best little brother. Last night, he didn't arrive in the provincial capital until midnight, and I arranged for him to rest in Huahui Building. He told me that he was going to visit Secretary Li and Director Li, but he was not very familiar with the family home of the provincial bureau and was afraid that he would not find a place, so he asked me to lead the way. It just so happened that I had long wanted to visit Secretary Li and Director Li, so I was shy and followed my brother to your house for breakfast. ”

At this time, Li Runji also walked over with a smile, shook hands with Ye Ming and Xu Fei, and said, "Director Xu, you and Xiao Ye are good friends?" Welcome, welcome, please come in! ”

After Ye Ming walked into the living room, she saw an old lady sitting on the sofa with silver hair and eyes that looked a little confused, and when she heard the sound of the door, she stood up tremblingly, stretched out her thin hand to grab the dance in the air, and asked again and again: "Runji, is your savior here?" There he is? Come on, let me see ......"

Ye Ming guessed that this old lady was Li Runji's mother, so he hurriedly walked over, supported her body, and said, "Grandma, I'm here." ”

The old lady's eyes widened vigorously, trying to see Ye Ming's appearance clearly, but her eyes were too dizzy, and she could only see a vague tall figure, and she couldn't help but say, "Look, I'm completely blind now, and I can't even see my personal appearance clearly...... Child, I heard Runji and my daughter-in-law say, you are only in your twenties, you have such a great ability, and you can knock over three thieves with knives in one person, it's amazing! Amazing! ”

The old lady sighed, while constantly groping on Ye Ming's body with her thin palm, and sighed when she touched it, saying "good skeleton" for a while, "good body" for a while, and "good nose bridge" for a while......

Ye Ming always smiled and bowed to stand there, and the old lady Ren touched herself from beginning to end, and also admired it again.

Li Yunji and Li Jingya have been standing next to them, smiling and watching their mother stroke and praise Ye Ming.

After groping Ye Ming, the old lady straightened her waist, sighed, and muttered to herself: "Alas, it would be nice if my wife had such a handsome and capable grandson......"

Xu Fei hurriedly smiled and said, "Auntie, Xiao Ye happens to be an orphan, and he doesn't have any relatives in his hometown. I think you can just recognize him as your grandson. ”

The old lady's cloudy eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, and she raised her head and asked, "Really?" Child, are you really an orphan? ”

Ye Ming said: "Grandma, I have no father since I was a child, and my mother also passed away a few years ago. So Director Xu is right, I am an orphan now. ”

The old lady hurriedly said to Li Runji: "Runji, do you recognize this godson?" If you don't recognize him, I'll recognize him as a grandson first. ”

Li Runji hurriedly smiled and said, "Mom, since you have already recognized him as your grandson, don't I recognize him?" Come on, let's have breakfast first. ”

Li Runji's breakfast at home adheres to the habits of his hometown in the countryside, with a pot of porridge, a few plates of jar vegetables, a plate of moldy tofu, and a bowl of mushroom soup. In addition, because she was worried that Ye Ming would not be able to eat enough and would not be used to eating, Li Jingya also went to the street to buy a few big meat buns.

While drinking the mushroom soup, the old lady said with emotion: "Alas, now these mushrooms are all man-made, and there is no real mushroom taste at all." Runji, do you remember the pine mushrooms I picked up for you in the mountains when I was a child? That kind of mushroom is really delicious. It's a pity that the pine forests are now destroyed, and I haven't eaten real pine mushrooms for more than ten years. I'm not afraid of the jokes of your juniors: when I think of the umami taste of pine mushrooms now, I drool when I sleep at night. ”

Li Runji said a little apologetically: "Mom, it's my son who is not filial, and he can't even meet such a small request from you." There are no real pine mushrooms to sell in the provincial capital, and Jingya and I are both powerless! ”

When Xu Fei heard this conversation between their mother and son, his heart moved, and his eyes gradually showed an expression of surprise......

At breakfast, Li Runji and Ye Ming mentioned the matter of recommending him to apply for "the province's righteousness and courage as an advanced individual". Ye Ming asked a little worriedly: "Secretary Li, my punishment of having a major demerit has not been revoked yet, and if I declare righteousness and courage as an advanced individual now, will I be criticized?" ”

Li Yunji said: "Don't worry about this matter, I have already thought about it." As long as there is an act of righteousness and courage, and this behavior has a great effect on the improvement of the social atmosphere, it can be declared. In other words: as long as a person's behavior meets the above criteria for righteous bravery, even if he is a prisoner, according to my understanding, he should be eligible for this honor. What's more, your punishment, first, is not because of corruption and bribery, and second, it is not because of corruption in style, but because of the injustice of the road and beating a scum director, in essence, this should also be regarded as an act of righteousness and courage. Director Xu, what do you say? ”

Xu Fei hurriedly echoed with a smile and said, "Secretary Li, you are still far-sighted and have unique opinions. I also feel that like the director of the Xinleng County Bureau, since he is so corrupt and so blatantly harassing a female colleague, my brother beats him, which is justice and should not only not be punished, but also praised. ”

Li Runji nodded and said angrily: "Like that kind of scum, if I knew about his ugly deeds, I was afraid that I would not be able to control and beat him." I used to do something similar in the army. Therefore, Xiao Ye's temper is very similar to when I was young, and I like it very much. ”

Just then, the phone on the coffee table next to the dining table suddenly rang. Li Jingya picked up the microphone and listened to the voice, but it was Xia Chuchu calling.

"Godmother, have you had breakfast? I'm getting ready to go to work now. I heard that Uncle Li has been discharged from the hospital and returned home, and I will come to visit you in two days! ”

"Chu Chu, thank you. I have a guest at home now, it is Ye Ming, the one I told you about in the hospital last time who saved your Uncle Li, so I won't talk to you more now, I have time to play! ”

"What? Ye Ming is in your house now? Wait, I'm free right now...... You want Ye Ming to wait, I'll come over immediately. ”
