The story of police officer Yang Qianfeng

Chapter 76
Ouyang Lamei didn't mind at all whether she bought gifts or not, but Yang Qianfeng thought that just as Lanmei said, the first time he came to the house, he had to bring a gift. This was a respect for the elderly.

After buying presents and coming out of the department store, Yang Qianfeng said, "Why did your mother agree with us all of a sudden?"

Ouyang Lamei leaned her head on Yang Qianfeng's shoulder and said as she walked, "She is also anxious when my daughter grows up! Besides our frequent dates, people outside know that we are in a relationship, but we haven't held an engagement ceremony yet. The elders have never even met face to face. In her opinion, we are called regardless of whether we are different or not. Others will say it. Besides, my father often talks about you at home, saying that your ability is very good. Director Chen has a very good impression of you. , especially this time when the urban area is being rectified, how the county leaders praised you at the meeting, etc., my mother is good to you, and we really love each other, and you have no principle problems, so she figured it out! "

Yang Qianfeng said excitedly: "This is really good news, I'm so happy. Your mother has this idea. It seems that we should get engaged as soon as possible. What day do you think will be good?"

Ouyang Lamei raised her chin and said, "I don't care, you have the final say. This is just a formality. In fact, I don't want to do anything. As long as we love each other, why should we care so much?"

Yang Qianfeng said seriously: "This is the custom here. It's normal for your mother to have this consideration. Although it's the form, in their eyes, the form is greater than the content, so it's not a question of whether you want it, but a question of whether you want it or not. We have to think about it, it's too late, we should get engaged after the next year!"

"Okay, whenever you want." Although Ouyang Lamei said this, she was very happy in her heart. She looked up at Yang Qianfeng and said, "It's really complicated. Believe it or not, the form of engagement will be removed sooner or later? I think Two things are important for two people who are in love to finally form a family. One is to obtain a certificate. This is the legal guarantee for marriage; the other is the wedding ceremony. After all, marriage is a major event in life. It should."

Yang Qianfeng nodded and said: "You are right. The country is also advocating changing customs. Some places have started to hold group weddings, and some people have traveled to get married, but it is still difficult to do so in a small place like ours. You are Traveling and getting married, you still have to do the same when you come back, otherwise people will gossip, the parties may not care, and the elders may not accept it."

"Human! Many times I really live for others." Ouyang Lamei said as she entered the door and shouted: "Mom and Dad, the striker is here."

Ouyang Lamei's mother, He Fenfang, was wearing an apron and was washing vegetables in the kitchen. She came out of the kitchen when she heard the cry. Yang Qianfeng found that not only did she not look old, but she felt much younger than when she was in Baiguo Village, so she generously called "Auntie" good!

In He Fenfang's memory, Yang Qianfeng was still the same as when he was in high school. Unexpectedly, he has grown into a tall, tall and handsome young man in a few years. Standing with his daughter is really a handsome couple. His eyes lit up immediately, and he said with a smile : "Okay, what are you doing with your things when you come to play? Sit down, and I'll prepare the meals."

At this moment, Ouyang Lamei's father, Ouyang Panwang, came out of the study, and Yang Qianfeng shouted, "Hello, Uncle!"

Ouyang Pan laughed and said, "Xiao Yang is here, sit down and make a cup of tea with winter plum."

Although Ouyang Lamei's home is a one-story house, it is a big one. The entrance is the living room, the back of the living room is the bathroom, there are two rooms on the right, and the study, kitchen and dining room on the left.The living room has a three-seater sofa, a marble coffee table and two single sofas.

Ouyang Pan had no impression of Yang Qianfeng. He had worked in Baiguo Township for many years. Yang Qianfeng was young at the time. Although he knew him, he had never spoken to him. He was still a little restrained when he saw him, and said, "Please sit down, uncle."

After Ouyang Pan sat down on the single sofa, Yang Qianfeng sat down on the three-seater sofa.

Ouyang Pan is tall, more than 1.7 meters eight, with a straight waist, a Chinese character face, fair skin, and the imprints left by glasses with presbyopia on both sides of the tall nose bridge are particularly conspicuous. He looks like a Confucian general. He drank a sip of tea and said : "Xiao Yang, you and Lamei are classmates. We already know each other very well. I heard what her mother said about you. As long as you are sincere, I have no problem with her mother, but you have been dating for a long time. , Her mother and I still need the form that is necessary, I think you should get engaged as soon as possible, so that we can have an explanation outside."

Yang Qianfeng nodded and said, "Uncle, Lamei and I discussed this matter on the way here. Uncle and Auntie will choose a date to do this matter after the Chinese New Year."

Ouyang Lamei put the brewed tea on the coffee table and said, "Dad, what do you think of the eighth day of the first lunar month?"

Ouyang Pan thought for a while and said: "On the eighth day of the lunar new year, it's okay. I don't care about other people's affairs. I just run around and invite the main relatives of both parties to the city. We can just get together. Yes. Now, who are you going to ask as a matchmaker?"

Yang Qianfeng thought for a while and said, "I would like to ask Mr. Hong Xiaoshui to look at it?"

Ouyang Pan didn't even think about saying: "Xiao Hong is fine, he is your teacher and knows you very well, so it's settled." He took a sip of tea and said: "After you get engaged, you need to work with each other in life and work. Care, don’t let your love affect your work, you have only arrived at the police not long ago, as far as I know, you have done a good job, you must keep going, but you must pay attention to your own safety, safety is what I and Lamei’s mother are most worried about.”

Yang Qianfeng is very happy about their worries, which shows that they have regarded themselves as their future half-sons from the bottom of their hearts.Gratefully said: "Thank you uncle and aunt for your concern, I will pay attention."

Ouyang Pan smiled and said: "I heard that you participated in the war in the south. This is the need of the country. To be honest, I respect you people from the bottom of my heart. It is a kind of great love and responsibility to see death as home for the country. But now that you are back, speak the words in a peaceful environment. At work, especially when facing murderers, you must pay attention to tactics, and avoid or reduce unnecessary sacrifices, because in the future, in addition to your responsibilities and responsibilities at work, you will also To take responsibility for the family, do you understand what I mean?"

"Uncle, I understand, don't worry, I will pay attention to working methods, and I will never act recklessly and make unnecessary sacrifices." Yang Qianfeng said.

"It's good to understand." Ouyang Pan changed the topic again and said, "Are you a junior college or technical secondary school?"

Yang Qianfeng said: "It can only be regarded as a high school junior high school!"

Ouyang Pan shook his hand and said, "That won't work. You have to take correspondence or self-study exams. According to the development of the situation, you must at least have a college diploma. Without a diploma, your growth will be affected in the future."

Yang Qianfeng said: "I learned about it. According to my work situation, I can only take self-study exams. I don't have time to attend lectures in correspondence courses."

Ouyang Pan said as an elder: "It is faster to graduate from a correspondence course than self-study. You decide for yourself. In addition, the current social atmosphere is not very good. This is not good because you can change it by saying it. After all, people do not live in a vacuum. Among them, since you can’t change, you can only adapt to this environment, such as employment, interpersonal relationship, etc., which are very subtle. Once you don’t handle it well, your future will be affected. Honestly, if this doesn’t work, you’ll suffer as soon as possible. I’m an example. Last year a leader came to our county to inspect the work. He could go back after work, but he didn’t leave. He asked us to play mahjong with him. No, besides, I don’t have any hobbies in this area. San Que turned around in a hurry and scolded me. I ran home in a fit of anger. The second month after he left, the higher-ups held a meeting to confirm the status of our county. When I was the county leader, I was not promoted because of his opposition. This was a big blow to people of my age. After that, I quickly learned to play mahjong. Soon he came again. In order to improve the relationship, after work I took the initiative to ask him to stay and play mahjong with him, and now he is happy. Sigh! I am not telling you to learn how to play mahjong, but I want you to learn to deal with it slowly. relations in these respects.”

Yang Qianfeng didn't understand and said, "Why is this? Playing mahjong will bring you money. Isn't this taking the lead in promoting the gambling trend? You should be praised. How did it become a political issue that cannot be reused?"

Ouyang Pan took a sip of tea and said, "That's what I said, but in reality there are some powerful people who don't think so. But our circle of playing mahjong is very small, and only the leaders of several units play together, and the number of people who play mahjong is very small." .”

Yang Qianfeng thinks that no matter what the reason is, playing mahjong is not a good thing, so he said: "It's better not to play mahjong?"

"Is that right? I also mean don't fight, just become the director. It's not worthwhile to smile and cater to these villains in order to be a county leader." Ouyang Lamei said.

"Your father has no bad hobbies, just play a little mahjong and let him play!" At this moment, He Fenfang walked over and said.

Ouyang Lamei glared at her mother and said, "You are used to it. My father will let him do everything."

He Fenfang smiled and changed the topic and said: "Xiao Yang, I heard what you said just now. The engagement will be done in the city. I will book the restaurant when the time comes. There are two tables at my house. You There are at least two tables at home, and my family will pay for the four tables, but you must buy a decent thing for Lamei as a souvenir, and the bride price, clothes, etc. are all free."

Yang Qianfeng stood up and said, "How can this work? You decide the hotel, and I will settle the bill. I will go shopping with Lamei for any jewelry she likes. I still need to make two sets of clothes. The bride price can only be taken for granted."

He Fenfang said happily: "It's fine if you can think about it that way. Although I want to marry a girl with my head up and a wife with my head down, I don't want to do that. Let me save you some money! No matter how much the hotel money is, I'll settle it."

Yang Qianfeng insisted: "Auntie, I know you are thinking about me, but I must pay the money, so don't argue with me, or people will laugh at me."

He Fenfang said happily: "Okay then! I'll listen to you, anyway, I will save the money you saved for me, and it will still be yours when we get married. It will be at noon on the eighth day. Teacher Hong Alright, don't get lost."

Yang Qianfeng agreed: "Okay, there will be no delay."

He Fenfang said to Ouyang Lamei: "Help serve the food, we'll have dinner, and after dinner your dad will play mahjong with some friends."

After eating, Ouyang Pan left in a hurry, and He Fenfang went out for some reason.

Seeing that her mother had gone out, Ouyang Lamei immediately pulled Yang Qianfeng into her boudoir and said, "I don't know how to give us more time after talking so much."

Yang Qianfeng said: "Isn't it for us now?"

Ouyang Lamei shook her head and said, "My mother will definitely come back later."

Yang Qianfeng said exaggeratedly: "No - yes - right! I haven't eaten meat buns yet!"

Ouyang Lamei giggled and snuggled up to him.

As expected by Ouyang Lamei, He Fenfang's cough was suddenly heard after a while, and the two of them walked out of the room nervously smiling at each other.
