Before entering the provincial bureau family home, Xu Fei walked into a small supermarket and bought two boxes of melatonin and a bag of apples.
Ye Ming asked a little strangely: "Director Xu, doesn't Secretary Li never accept gifts? Are you afraid of being turned down when you bring these things to his house?"
Xu Fei shook his head and said: "Xiaoye, don't think of Secretary Li as so impersonal. Secretary Li is a sick person, and his old mother lives in his house. I will buy some supplements and fruits for the elderly and go to his house to visit the patients.
Interactions with the elderly are normal human relations and are fundamentally different from giving gifts in officialdom. Although Secretary Li is a leader, he is also very humane and will never kick me out just because I carry a gift."
Only then did Ye Ming remember: It was the first time that 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 large bag of longan, and went with Xu Fei to Room 802, Unit 2, Building 3, Family Courtyard of the Provincial Bureau - 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 around happily and shouted: "Old Li, Xiaoye is here!"
Only then did she notice Xu Fei behind Ye Ming, and asked a little surprised: "Director Xu, why are you so early? Do you know Xiao Ye?"
Xu Fei said with a smile: "Hello, Director Li! Ye Ming is my best little brother. He didn't arrive at the provincial capital until midnight last night. I arranged for him to take a rest in Huahui Building. He told me that he
He wanted to come to visit Secretary Li and Director Li, but he was not very familiar with the Provincial Bureau Family Home and was afraid that he would not be able to find a place, so he asked me to lead the way. It just so happened that I had also wanted to visit Secretary Li and Director Li for a long time, so I went
Shamelessly, I followed my brother to your house for breakfast."
At this time, Li Runji also came over with a smile, shook hands with Ye Ming and Xu Fei, and said: "Director Xu, you and Xiaoye are good friends? Welcome, please come in!"
After Ye Ming walked into the living room, he saw an old lady with silver hair sitting on the sofa who looked a little shy. When she heard the sound at the door, she stood up tremblingly and stretched out her skinny hands in the air.
Zhuowu asked again and again: "Runji, is your savior here? Where is he? Come on, let me see..."
Ye Ming guessed that this old lady was Li Runji's mother, so he quickly walked over, supported her body, and said, "Grandma, I'm here."
The old lady opened her eyes hard, trying to see Ye Ming's face clearly, but her eyes were so dim that she could only see a vague tall figure. She couldn't help but said: "Look, I am completely different now."
He is blind. He can't even see his face clearly... My son, I heard Runji and my wife say that you are only in your twenties, but you are so capable. You knocked over three pickets by yourself.
The evil thief of the sword is amazing! It’s amazing!”
While the old lady was sighing, she kept groping Ye Ming's body with her skinny palms. Once she touched it, she would praise her, saying "Good frame", "Good body", and "What a high bridge of nose".
"...
Ye Ming always stood there with a smile and bowed. Mrs. Ren touched her from beginning to end and praised her again and again.
Li Runji and Li Jingya had been standing nearby, smiling as they watched their mother caress and praise Ye Ming.
After groping Ye Ming, the old lady straightened up, sighed, and murmured to herself: "Oh, if only my old lady had such a handsome and capable grandson..."
Xu Fei smiled quickly and said: "Auntie, Xiaoye happens to be an orphan and doesn't have any relatives in his hometown. I think you might as well consider him your grandson."
The old lady's cloudy eyes flashed with light, she raised her head and asked, "Really? My child, are you really an orphan?"
Ye Ming said: "Grandma, I have had no father since I was a child, and my mother 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, I will recognize him as my grandson first."
Li Runji hurriedly smiled and said: "Mom, since you have recognized him as your grandson, why don't I recognize him? Come on, let's have breakfast first."
Breakfast at Li Runji's house follows the habits of his hometown in the countryside, including a pot of porridge, several plates of vegetables, a plate of molded tofu, and a bowl of mushroom soup. In addition, because she was worried that Ye Ming would not be full and accustomed to eating, Li Jingya also made a special trip to
I bought some big meat buns on the street.
While drinking mushroom soup, the old lady said with emotion: "Well, these mushrooms now are all artificial and have no real mushroom taste at all. Runji, do you still remember the pine mushrooms I picked up from the mountains for you when you were 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 you younger generations: now I think about pine mushrooms
The delicious taste makes my mouth water when I sleep at night.”
Li Runji said a little apologetically: "Mom, my son is unfilial and can't even meet your small request. There are no real pine mushrooms for sale in the provincial capital. Jingya and I are both helpless!"
When Xu Fei heard this conversation between mother and son, his heart moved, and his eyes gradually revealed an expression of surprise...
During breakfast, Li Runji and Ye Ming mentioned the matter of recommending him to declare as an "advanced individual with courage in the province". Ye Ming asked a little worriedly: "Secretary Li, my major demerit penalty has not been revoked, so I will declare it now."
If you are an advanced individual, will you be criticized by others?"
Li Runji said: "Don't worry about this matter. I have already considered it. As an advanced individual who acts courageously for justice, as long as he acts courageously and has a great impact on improving social atmosphere, he can declare it. In other words
: As long as a person's behavior meets the above-mentioned standards of bravery, even if he is a prisoner, according to my understanding, he should be qualified to receive this honor. What's more, your punishment is not due to corruption and bribery, and it is not due to corrupt style.
, it’s just that I beat up a scumbag director because he saw injustice on the road. In essence, this should be regarded as an act of courage. Director Xu, what do you think?"
Xu Fei quickly laughed and echoed: "Secretary Li, you are far-sighted and have unique insights. I also feel that since the director of Xinleng County Bureau is so corrupt and blatantly harasses female colleagues, my brother will give him a good beating."
, that is justice, and not only should not be punished, but should also be praised."
Li Runji nodded and said angrily: "For a scum like that, if I knew about his scandalous behavior, I would probably not be able to control myself and beat him up. I have done similar things in the army.
.So, Xiaoye’s temper is very similar to when I was young, and I like it very much.”
At this moment, the phone on the coffee table next to the dining table suddenly rang. Li Jingya picked up the phone and heard 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 returned home from the hospital. I'll come to visit you in two days!"
"Chu Chu, thank you. I have a guest at home right now, the same Ye Ming who saved your Uncle Li that I told you about in the hospital last time, so I won't tell you more now. Come and play when you have time!"
"What? Ye Ming is at your home now? Just wait, I'm free now... If you want Ye Ming to wait, I'll come right away."
