Cheng Guoqing and his wife are middle-level cadres of ordinary state-owned enterprises.It's middle class.People like them are actually the most realistic.Cheng Xiaoxi is their only daughter.Both of them hurt like babies.But the more she loves her, the less she wants to let her be wronged.When Cheng Xiaoxi was going to work in Binhai.The couple didn't want to agree.Just because it was a government agency.It was not too obstructive.

Cheng Guoqing and his wife thought very well.My daughter first worked in the Binhai Municipal Government for a few years.Then Toto was transferred to Beijing.Find another good husband.The whole family can live happily in the capital.It can be described as enjoyable.But.The sudden arrival of Li Xiaoning.It disrupted the perfect plan of the couple weaving.

From the short introduction of my daughter.Cheng Guoqing and his wife have already learned that although Li Xiaoning is already an official-level cadre.But he is the mayor of one of the poorest towns in Binhai City.The couple have seen a lot of various means in the workplace in this life.According to their understanding.Since Li Xiaoning was dispatched to that kind of place.Political career is basically over.So the couple are very angry now.Angry at my daughter for being so ignorant.Bringing people into the house without saying hello in advance.then.In unison, their faces turned cold.

After Li Xiaoning sat down.Cheng Xiaoxi handed over another glass of water.Li Xiaoning took a sip of water.Then he took out a pack of soft Chinese from his pocket.This is his visit for this time.Specially bought.Usually can not bear to smoke.Pulled out one.Pass it to Cheng Guoqing who is sitting on the sofa.Said: "Uncle. Smoking."

"No." Cheng Guoqing blocked it.In the ashtray on the coffee table.It was full of cigarette butts and ashes.

Li Xiaoning smiled awkwardly.Did not speak.He didn't take the cigarette back either.Instead, he put the whole pack of cigarettes on the coffee table.He also pushed towards Cheng Guoqing.He is ready today.No matter what treatment you receive.I insist on two points: "Be sweeter and thicker." Who would let me take away the precious girl who has been raised for more than 20 years.

Cheng Guoqing is actually a senior smoker.It is impossible to say that you will not be tempted when you see Zhonghua Tobacco.It was just a deliberate gesture of rejection.Seeing that Li Xiaoning is so good at it now.He couldn't help but look at Li Xiaoning more.Spotted the young man in front of him.From appearance to conversation are still good.Not as bad as expected.It's a pity that his material conditions can't meet his own requirements.Otherwise, he would be a good son-in-law candidate.

Li Xiaoning could bear the cold eyes and sarcastic remarks of Cheng Guoqing and his wife.Cheng Xiaoxi's heart aches for a long time.Tears rolled in the eyes a few times.Just about to speak.But Li Xiaoning made a look at her.So I endured it.Said: "Dad, Mom. What's for dinner tonight. I'll choose the vegetables." She stood up.He said to Li Xiaoning: "Xiaoning, let's go together."

When Li Xiaoning stood up.Zhao Junxia also stood up from the sofa.He said coldly: "Who cares about your choice of vegetables." Said that I went straight to the kitchen. He slammed the kitchen door shut.

In fact, Zhao Junxia knew that her daughter was going home.I asked for leave early.I bought a small grass chicken in the market.It simmered for a whole afternoon on a low fire.At this time, it is already fragrant.

See the scented jar.Zhao Junxia was furious.She snapped the fire off.He kicked the cabbage on the ground again.Just standing in the kitchen.Wiped away the tears.

After a while.Cheng Guoqing also entered the kitchen.Zhao Junxia immediately said angrily: "Xiaoxi is too ignorant. He didn't say a word. He brought him back. What should we do now."

Cheng Guoqing sighed and said, "Don't be angry yet. Everyone is here anyway. Let's talk after dinner. This young man still looks good. He's quite polite."

Zhao Junxia said dissatisfiedly: "I bought you with a pack of cigarettes. You are really a soft bone. I have made it clear to you. You must never agree. Later. I will talk to Xiaoxi. You talk to him. Let him go as soon as possible." Give up this idea. You are doing political work in your company. If you can’t convince him, you should stop doing it as soon as possible.”

This moment.in the living room.Cheng Xiaoxi said guiltily, "Xiaoning, don't be angry. My parents are not like this."

Actually before coming.Li Xiaoning has already made full mental preparations.He saw Cheng Xiaoxi's guilty look.Instead, he comforted softly: "Don't be sad. This is better than imagined. I can understand their feelings. Don't worry. I won't be angry anyway."

Heard footsteps from the kitchen.Li Xiaoning withdrew his hand from Cheng Xiaoxi's.Sit quietly.Watching Jiang Zhe, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty on TV, looking very high-spirited.Think again about what happened to you.I felt a little sad unconsciously.

Cheng Guoqing came in with a casserole pot.A tempting fragrance wafted from the basin.Li Xiaoning took the car for four hours.The stomach has already sung empty city tricks.The scent is coming.Immediately, Li Xiaoning's gluttons were also hooked out.After Cheng Guoqing turned around, he went into the kitchen again.He couldn't help but swallowed back his saliva.

a while.Cheng Guoqing brought out a few more delicate side dishes.Same scent.Cheng Xiaoxi watched.These are my favorite dishes.I understand in my heart.This is specially prepared by parents for themselves.Think here.The balance in her heart could not help but tilt a little towards her parents.

Zhao Junxia finally returned to the living room.She placed a plate of sweet and sour live fish heavily on the dining table.Pick up the rice bowl that Xiaoxi handed over.Did not greet together.He started eating non-stop.Cheng Guoqing also came out of the kitchen immediately.He pulled the table vigorously.Then he sat down.

Li Xiaoning sat on the sofa.It's not right to come and eat.But it's not right to come.Xiaoxi brought two bowls from the kitchen.Said: "Xiaoning. Come over for dinner."

The dishes are good dishes.It is delicious in color, fragrance and taste.But.Li Xiaoning has eaten for 22 years.This was the worst meal I ever had.

Zhao Junxia finished the meal in a few mouthfuls.Put the bowl on the table for a meal.Said: "Xiaoxi. Come with me."

"Mom, I haven't finished eating yet." Cheng Xiaoxi said with a crying face.

"I'll eat later. You won't be hungry." Zhao Junxia took her daughter to the bedroom with a sullen face.Start talking.

Only Li Xiaoning and Cheng Guoqing were left in the living room.Cheng Guoqing got up and took out a bottle of Dukang from the cupboard.Then walked back again.

This is a good sign.Li Xiaoning was overjoyed.Hastily went to pick up the wine bottle: "Uncle, let me do it."

Cheng Guoqing used a lot of strength in his hands.Li Xiaoning was not allowed to snatch the wine bottle away.He insisted on pouring Li Xiaoning a glass of wine.Then he said, "Since you're here, you're a guest. Let's have two drinks today. Let's chat."

"I also want to report my personal situation to my uncle and aunt." Li Xiaoning said hastily.

Cheng Guoqing shook his head and said, "No need. I've heard about your family situation from Xiaoxi. A child from the countryside. His father has passed away. There is only one mother in the family. No house, no car, no savings."

Listen to what Cheng Guoqing said so straightforwardly.Li Xiaoning's expression darkened involuntarily.But I can't blame others.My own conditions are really not good.

Cheng Guoqing said again: "I'm not the kind of person who hates the poor and loves the rich. The family conditions are not very demanding. It's just a good family. It's all right. Let's go first."

Speaking of holding up the wine glass.Li Xiaoning also picked it up.Touched low.Drank it down.He didn't say anything to refute.Although Cheng Guoqing's words were nice.But the subtext is also easy to understand.That means that Li Xiaoning and the Cheng family are not in the same household.To put it bluntly is.I am not worthy of his Cheng Guoqing's daughter.

Cheng Guoqing went on to say: "Little Li. I'm just such a girl. I don't want her to be rich. At least I want to be happy. Safe and stable. After I retire, I will coax my grandson and take care of her. What I want is not A lot. But. Can you do it?"

"I can." Li Xiaoning didn't mean it when he said this.But it is time to make a statement.

"What can you do?" Cheng Guoqing put his wine glass down heavily. "How can women be happy. They need to be young. They need to be beautiful. They need to meet a good man. They need money to be happy."

"Will you be happy if you marry a rich man?" These words circled Li Xiaoning's lips several times.But he finally didn't say it.

Cheng Guoqing went on to say: "Xiao Li, you are also an adult. You are still a man. You should be sensible. Don't talk about love with me. Talk about vows. Those are useless. If you want to be happy, you must first Be a rich man. What Yang Guo Xiaolongnv. It’s just a novel written to deceive young people. A life of poverty is not and cannot be the pursuit of modern people.

What is the point to be alive.Isn't it just to live better.You see you are a child from the countryside.But you still have to go to school.go to college.You have to go to a prestigious university like Yenching University.for what.Not just for a good diploma.In order to find a better job.For a better meal.

I know you don't want to hear me say this.But this is the law of truth in this world.Love is certainly beautiful.But don't forget reality.No matter how beautiful the plan is in your heart.Life is plain and concrete.

I know.you might say.Live in an ordinary house.live frugally.Xiaoxi doesn't dress up.You are also thrifty.Can also live.But do you think this is happiness?I don't think normal people would dream of such a life. "

Speaking of this.There's nothing left to talk about.

Li Xiaoning stood up.He said calmly, "I'm leaving."

Cheng Guoqing also stood up and said, "I'll see you off. That's right. Take the things back."

Li Xiaoning glanced at the gift box of Cordyceps sinensis and the blue gift box of Yanghe Dream that he bought on the ground.Said: "I bought it for my uncle and aunt. Let's keep it."

Cheng Guoqing had already picked up all the gifts.Throw it into Li Xiaoning's hand.Said: "There is no shortage of these things at home. You should take them home to honor your mother."

Li Xiaoning didn't say much anymore.Accept the gift silently.He bowed again to Cheng Guoqing.Then turn around and leave.Never look back.
