Xia Chuchu and Chen Yi couldn't help but feel surprised and distressed when they saw that Ye Ming looked sluggish, his face was pale, and there was still a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth, and he was helped by Xu Lizhong. The two of them rushed over at the same time, supporting Ye Ming one by one.
, asked anxiously: "Ye Ming, what's wrong with you? Why are you so haggard? Are you sick?"
Ye Ming shook his head dejectedly and said in a weak tone: "It's okay, I'm just feeling a little depressed and not in good spirits. There's nothing serious about my body."
At this time, little Benben, who was over one year old, was placed on the sofa by Chen Yi, where he was crawling around and enjoying himself. When he saw Ye Ming coming in, he stopped crawling, raised his head, opened his big clear eyes and walked towards
Looking at Ye Ming, he suddenly called out in a childish voice: "Mom - dad -"
It turned out that in order to make Xiao Benben feel close to Ye Ming in the future, when he started to learn to speak, Chen Yi first taught him to call "Mom", and then took out a photo of Ye Ming and pointed at it to teach him to call "Mom"
"Dad". And little Benben, like Ye Ming, is one of those people who is very talented in language, and his memory is much stronger than that of children of the same age.
Therefore, although Ye Ming and Xiao Benben met only a few times, Xiao Benben recognized him as soon as he saw his face and happily called him "Mom and Dad".
Although these two titles were unclear to pronounce, they sounded particularly pleasant to Ye Ming's ears, and the extreme pain in his heart was slightly relieved.
Xia Chuchu couldn't help being surprised when she heard that Xiao Benben actually knew Ye Ming and called him "Dad". She turned around and looked at Xiao Benben a few times. Her heart moved and she quickly walked over to pick up Xiao Benben and came to Ye Ming.
Next to Ye Ming, he smiled and said to Ye Ming: "Hillbilly, look at it: little Benben recognizes you when he is just over a year old! Make him smile quickly. He looks so cute when he smiles. I just want to see him smile.
.”
Before Ye Ming could answer, little Benben opened his arms in Xia Chuchu's arms, giggled, straightened up and pounced on Ye Ming.
When Ye Ming saw that Xia Chuchu was speaking openly and in front of Xu Lizhong, he said that Xiao Benben was calling him "Daddy" just now. He felt a little embarrassed and turned to look at Xu Lizhong, but saw that his eyes were looking away.
, as if he didn’t hear Xia Chuchu’s words.
So, Ye Ming had no choice but to open his arms, hold Little Benben in his arms, kiss his chubby little face a few times, then lift him up and throw him in the air a few times - this is Little Benben's favorite play
Game. He is naturally bold. No matter how high Ye Ming throws him, he is not afraid. On the contrary, the higher he is thrown, the happier he is and the happier he laughs.
After Ye Ming teased Xiao Benben for a while, he still felt depressed inside. He kept thinking of Chen Mengqi in the hospital. However, in front of Xia Chuchu and Chen Yi, he couldn't bring up the idea of going to see Chen Mengqi, so he could only feel depressed.
He stayed there dully, answering Xia Chuchu and Chen Yi's questions without a word.
Soon, Secretary Lu also came home from get off work. As soon as he got home, he didn't care about shyness and went straight to Benben, who was sitting on the sofa playing, and stretched out his hands to him with a smile.
Little Benben was already very familiar with Secretary Lu, so just like when he saw Ye Ming come in, after seeing Secretary Lu, he also raised his eyes to look at Secretary Lu, stretched out his arms and waved them in the air, mouthing
"Mom, dad," he screamed, which made Secretary Lu very excited. He picked him up, pressed his face against his little face, and taught him with a smile: "Good boy, I am not mom and dad. I am
It’s Grandpa Deer. Come and learn from me: Grandpa, Grandpa!”
In order to avoid arousing the suspicion of Chen Yi and Xia Chuchu, Secretary Lu deliberately added the word "deer" in front of "grandpa". Because Secretary Lu always liked Xiao Benben, Xia Chuchu was not satisfied with his affectionate behavior with Xiao Benben.
Neither Chen Yi nor Chen Yi felt anything was abnormal.
When Chen Yi saw Secretary Lu coming back, she walked into the kitchen and started cooking.
Secretary Lu was teasing Xiao Benben and chatting casually with Xia Chuchu, while Ye Ming was sitting listlessly on a chair, wondering what he was thinking.
After chatting for a while, Secretary Lu looked up at the kitchen and saw that the kitchen door was closed tightly. Chen Yi probably couldn't hear the conversation in the living room, so he asked: "Chu Chu, when are you and Ye Ming going to get married? I
Matchmaker, I’m waiting to drink your wedding wine! Haha!”
Xia Chuchu didn't feel any restraint in front of Secretary Lu. She glanced at Ye Ming not far away who seemed not to have heard Secretary Lu's question at all, and said calmly and generously: "I have made an agreement with him a long time ago: we will hold the meeting on New Year's Day next year.
The wedding is only two months away now. My parents are already preparing a dowry for me. When I come back this time, I also want to discuss the marriage with my parents."
"Okay, okay, that's good!"
Secretary Lu happily said a few good words, then turned to Ye Ming and said: "Xiaoye, you have to make some preparations here. New Year's Day is coming soon, and your new house here also needs to be decorated.
Let’s arrange it. I think you can leave it to your Aunt Li to prepare this matter! Now Comrade Runji is in Xijiang, and your Aunt Li has a lot of free time every day besides going to work, so she can help you prepare for your marriage."
At this time, Ye Ming, although the pain in his heart was slightly relieved because of seeing Xia Chuchu, Chen Yi and Xiao Benben, he still felt as if he had been filled with lead, heavy and extremely uncomfortable, and he just wanted to go see him as soon as possible.
One look at Chen Mengqi.
Therefore, after hearing his father's arrangement, he nodded heartlessly, glanced at Xia Chuchu who was looking at him with concern and expectation, and said angrily: "Aunt Li has already told me about this.
That’s it, I’ve almost finished decorating the new house. Tomorrow Chuchu and I will go check out the new house and buy some furniture and electrical appliances, that’s it.”
After lunch, Xia Chuchu wanted to go back to the Family Court of the Provincial Local Taxation Bureau to visit her parents. Chen Yi also wanted to see Li Jingya first, so the two asked Ye Ming if they were going together.
Ye Ming said: "You go and do your things first. I want to go to the hospital to see Qiqi. If she is awake, I want to ask about the situation of Jinqiao Group."
Xia Chuchu and Chen Yi originally made an appointment to go see Chen Mengqi with Ye Ming tomorrow - because they knew that Ye Ming's mood had not eased today, and they were afraid that if he went to see Chen Mengqi now, he would be even more hurt. However, now they see
His expression showed that it was obviously impossible to wait until tomorrow, and they had already made arrangements with Xia Bicheng, his wife, and Li Jingya to go back in the afternoon. Therefore, they had no choice but to comfort Ye Ming for a few words, and then went to the local taxation bureau's family home together.
Seeing that Ye Ming insisted on seeing Chen Mengqi now, Secretary Lu didn't know how to stop him, so he had to let it go.
At 2:30 in the afternoon, Ye Ming drove to the Third Affiliated Hospital, bought a large bunch of carnations, and went to the inpatient department to ask which ward Chen Mengqi was in. However, what surprised him was that yesterday afternoon, Chen Mengqi had completed the discharge procedures.
