The last words of assurance that Ye Ming said were what Li Jingya repeatedly told him before he went out, saying that only in this way could he gain the trust of Xia Bicheng, his wife and Chu Chu, and successfully implement Secretary Li's plan.
Therefore, although he felt a little awkward in his heart, he finally said these words.
Since Xia Chuchu has known Ye Ming for more than a year, Ye Ming has always been lukewarm towards her. He has almost never taken the initiative to say anything to please her or please her, and he has never taken the initiative to express anything to her, even when they The few times she kissed and made love, she was the one who took the initiative. Although she was a very open-minded girl and felt that there was nothing wrong with girls taking the initiative to chase boys, but Ye Ming was so passive and not cold. The unenthusiastic attitude still made her feel very worried and frustrated.
But today, Ye Ming suddenly said in front of her father that from now on she must be good to herself and make herself happy. She suddenly felt as if happiness fell from the sky. Her heart was filled with excitement, and tears of joy came out of her eyes. .
At this moment, she felt that all the sacrifices she had made to Ye Ming in the past were worth it, and they were all rewarded today, because she believed in Ye Ming and believed that he was a man who kept his word and kept his promises. , he is not the kind of libertine who likes to coax girls with sweet words. Since he promised to stay with him for life and to be good to him for the rest of his life, that is what he really thinks in his heart, and it is also a manly promise that he will keep for the rest of his life. If you make this promise, you don’t have to worry about anything, and you don’t have to be afraid of anything...
Therefore, after Ye Ming said that, she couldn't help but shed tears of happiness. At the same time, she leaned more tightly on Ye Ming's shoulders, and squeezed Ye Ming's palm more tightly with the palm of her right hand. I wish I could melt my whole body into Ye Ming's arms...
As for Xia Bicheng, after making the request for engagement, he had been staring at Ye Ming very nervously and anxiously, waiting for his reply. After hearing his few words of assurance, his nervous heart suddenly relaxed. When he came down, he couldn't help but let out a long breath, and the smile on his face became even brighter. He finally controlled his ecstatic emotions and said to Ye Ming: "Okay, okay, Xiaoye, you have such a heart, your Aunt Zeng and I will Don't worry, we can safely hand over Chu Chu to you. Let's do this: You go back to Xinlang County tomorrow and make a little preparation. I will discuss it with Secretary Li and set a good date. You can do it in these few days. Hold an engagement ceremony with Chu Chu,"
Ye Ming nodded and agreed.
Soon, Zeng Yanhua had all the food prepared, brought it to the dining table, and invited Xia Bicheng and Ye Ming to sit down.
Although Zeng Yanhua came from an official family, she was not a pampered person. She was very efficient in housework. In just over an hour, she actually cooked seven or eight dishes that were all delicious and delicious, including stir-fried chicken with chili pepper. , stewed squab with gastrodia elata, stir-fried yellow beef, stewed pig heart with lily, fish in vinegar soup and other main dishes, as well as several side dishes such as loofah, Chinese cabbage with garlic paste, etc., are all good dishes that go well with wine.
During the meal, Zeng Yanhua, who usually doesn't like to smile, was smiling all the time for the first time. He kept putting chicken and pigeon meat in Ye Ming's bowl, and kept urging him to eat more vegetables, and kept giving him winks. Xia Bicheng toasted Ye Ming with a few more glasses of wine, and she took the initiative to pick up the red wine glass and toasted Ye Ming with two glasses of wine. The enthusiasm not only made Ye Ming puzzled, but even Xia Chuchu felt a little weird.
However, even though she felt a little strange, seeing her parents being so enthusiastic and polite to her sweetheart now, Xia Chuchu still felt very benefited, very proud, and very happy. Therefore, she also behaved very obediently and took the initiative. She handed Ye Ming a tissue, poured some liquor, and toasted her parents with a few glasses of wine with him.
In Zeng Yanhua's mind, her daughter is the most beautiful, talented, and charming girl in the world. Therefore, after drinking a few glasses of red wine, her conversation began to revolve around her baby daughter, and she couldn't help but ask Ye Ming praised Chu Chu for how beautiful, well-behaved, and smart she was, and how she brought glory to them as parents.
Of course, what she said was indeed Chu Chu's strengths, but it seemed that she couldn't stop talking as soon as she started talking. She kept talking eloquently, saying that her daughter was rare in the world and unparalleled in the world. In the end, Xia Chu Chu's face flushed with her praise and she kept yelling at her to stop, so she reluctantly stopped praising her daughter.
But Ye Ming understood Zeng Yanhua's mood very well. He knew very well: Parents all over the world are the same as Zeng Yanhua. They always think that their children are the best and the most outstanding. Even if their children are disabled or mentally retarded, parents You will always find advantages and strengths in them that make you proud and proud.
For example, he once read a novel called "Dad" by the famous writer Han Shaogong. The novel described a mentally retarded boy who, when he was fourteen or fifteen years old, could still only speak two sentences, one of which was "Dad." ", one sentence is "Mother At night, the mother held her mentally retarded son in her arms, murmuring to him happily, praising him for being smart, praising him for being able to curse, and asking him hopefully if he would forget his wife if he got married in the future. He married his mother and asked him if he would still remember his mother's kindness when he became an official in the future. In the mother's heart, although her son could only speak a few words, he was still very good and was still an "official." "Material", he will still be like other normal boys, he will marry a wife and have children in the future...
Ye Ming has read this novel five or six times. Every time he reads it, he bursts into tears. He also deeply understands the painstaking efforts of being a parent in the world.
Therefore, not only was he not disgusted with Zeng Yanhua's praise of Chu Chu, but he was a little sad. If his mother was still alive, if his father had been found, what a happy and warm life it would be...
When the wine was about to be finished, Xia Bicheng was already a little tipsy and suddenly asked Ye Ming: "Xiaoye, I heard Secretary Li say: The reason why Li Zhi of Xinlang County Zhenxing Steel Company wants to sue you is because you did not approve their company's They applied for tax exemptions, so they waited for the opportunity to retaliate. Is there such a thing? What is the specific process?"
