Ye Ming was worried about what to buy to go to Xia's house, and as soon as he received a call from Xia Chuchu, he immediately asked as if asking for help: "Chuchu, I am now in a supermarket outside the provincial bureau, ready to buy some gifts for Director Xia and your mother." However, I don't know what to buy. Can you give me a reference? ”

When Xia Chuchu heard that he was still going to buy gifts for his parents, he couldn't help but smile, grinned over there, and said in a mocking tone: "Hillbilly, why are you so villager!" How can anyone buy a gift for someone's father and mother, and then ask for that person's opinion? However, considering that you are not very sensible and may rarely give gifts to people, then I will give you guidance! Let me tell you: my dad likes to eat dog-headed red dates from the northwest, and my mom likes to eat cuttlefish. So, you just need to buy a bag of dog-headed red dates, a bag of high-quality cuttlefish, and nothing else. ”

Ye Ming hurriedly thanked him, and according to her instructions, he bought two gifts, and then carried them to Xia's house.

When Ye Ming knocked on the door of Xia Bicheng's house, he saw that it was Xia Chuchu who opened the door. And her parents stood side by side behind her, both of them had kind and modest smiles on their faces, after seeing him come in with gifts, Zeng Yanhua immediately took a step forward, took the two bags of gifts in his hand, and said with a smile: "Xiao Ye, look at you, is it divided?" Come to my house casually, there is no need to buy any gifts...... Ouch, how do you know I like to eat cuttlefish? Didn't Chu Chu just tell you? There is also this dog's head date, which is also Lao Xia's favorite food. Xiao Ye, I didn't expect you to be so sensible and polite at such a young age! Not bad! ”

It turned out that when Xia Chuchu called Ye Ming just now, Xia Bicheng and his family were still in the bedroom discussing how to receive Ye Ming, and they didn't hear Xia Chuchu guiding Ye Ming to buy gifts.

Xia Bicheng also stretched out his hand, shook Ye Ming tightly with a smile, and then said in a very kind voice: "Xiao Ye, I don't need to be so polite when I play at home in the future." However, the dog's head jujube you bought today is indeed my favorite food. It can be seen that you are a very attentive and polite young man. Come on, come on, let's sit in the living room first, your great-aunt is cooking now, let's talk about it first. ”

Although Xia Chuchu didn't know why his parents were suddenly unusual, they were so polite and enthusiastic to Ye Ming today. However, she can see that the enthusiasm of her parents comes from the heart, not pretend. This made her both surprised and ecstatic: what she was most worried about now was that her parents would oppose her marriage to Ye Ming. If they don't approve of this family business, they may be sneering and even sarcastic and sarcastic to Ye Ming. And Ye Ming has a stinky temper, and he has always been soft rather than hard. Once his parents have a bad attitude towards him, maybe this guy will be angry and will completely cut off contact with him from now on, let alone marry him.

Therefore, when she saw that her parents were not only polite to Ye Ming now, but also enthusiastic enough to make people feel a little too much, she was both surprised and happy in her heart. After her father shook hands with Ye Ming, she walked over, generously stretched out her hand to hold Ye Ming's arm, and said to her father, "Dad, you sit down first, and I'll greet him." ”

With that, she pulled Ye Ming to the sofa and asked him to sit down, then turned around and went to the kitchen, made Ye Ming a cup of tea, brought it over, and put it on the coffee table.

Next, she sat next to Ye Ming, leaning on his shoulder naturally, with a happy expression on her face, listening to the conversation between her father and Ye Ming.

She noticed that after she deliberately made this intimate action with Ye Ming, her father, who was sitting opposite, did not show an angry or dissatisfied expression on his face as before. On the contrary, today, there was a look of encouragement in his eyes, a warm and cordial smile on his face all the time, and he looked at himself with gentle eyes from time to time, obviously not objecting to his intimate actions with Ye Ming.

This made Xia Chuchu extremely happy and happy, so he simply pillowed his head on Ye Ming's broad shoulders, with an intoxicated look, which made Ye Ming quite embarrassed, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to let it go......

After chatting a few words, Xia Bicheng suddenly asked: "Xiao Ye, I heard that Secretary Lu went to Xinleng County twice to investigate, and both lived in the old house where you and your mother used to live, is there such a thing?" ”

Ye Ming didn't know why he suddenly asked this question, so he replied truthfully: "That's right! Secretary Lu said that we have a very good scenery there, and it is very quiet, and living there can make him feel the strong natural atmosphere, so he likes to live in my house. In addition, because the village where my mother teaches is located in the village where the middle school is located, it is the poverty alleviation point that Secretary Lu personally determined. When he went there to investigate, he was reluctant to go back to the county seat to live. And my house is usually empty, so he can live there without causing trouble to the village. ”

Xia Bicheng nodded thoughtfully, and asked again: "I have a few friends in the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee, and I once followed Secretary Lu to your Xinleng County to investigate. According to them: When Secretary Lu first went to Xinleng County, he once went to your mother's tomb to worship. Did you know about this worship? At that time, did Secretary Lu go to worship with everyone, or did he go up the mountain alone to worship? ”

Ye Ming listened to the more strange and sensitive questions he asked, so he looked at him a few times, thought for a while, and replied, "At the time of that worship, it happened to be my mother's dead birthday. Secretary Lu went up to the mountain early in the morning to worship, even earlier than the time when I went up the mountain to visit my mother's grave. I went up the mountain at half past eight, and Secretary Lu had already come down at that time. At that worship, Secretary Lu only took his secretary Director Xu up the mountain, and the rest of the people were on guard and waiting at the bottom of the mountain. ”

"What, Secretary Lu went up the mountain to worship on the day of your mother's birthday?"

Xia Bicheng's eyes widened in surprise and asked in surprise.

Ye Ming nodded and said, "I remember very clearly, that day was December 2nd, which happened to be my mother's birthday. Therefore, I took a leave of absence to go to Wantou Town to worship my mother that day, but I was stopped by several policemen when I went up the mountain and did not allow me to go up. In a hurry, I almost got into a fight with the policemen. Later, Secretary Lu happened to go down the mountain and stopped the policemen. After I went up the mountain, I found that there were many offerings on my mother's grave, and incense was also offered, which is estimated to have been placed by Secretary Lu. At that time, I was still very strange: Secretary Lu worshiped a people's teacher, which is understandable. However, it is not quite reasonable to go and buy sacrifices and incense and candles to worship at the grave like this. I'm still a little confused about this question! ”
