The toys and children's food that Ye Ming bought were all packed in a large plastic bag, which looked bulging. Therefore, when Xiao Jin opened the door and saw that he was carrying such a big bag in his hand, his face immediately changed, he leaned across the door, glared at Zhang Lingzhi dissatisfiedly, and then turned his head to look at the bag in Ye Ming's hand again, and asked angrily: "County Magistrate Zhang, what are you doing?" You brought Xiaoye to give me suggestions and ideas, why do you mention so many things? Others don't understand my temperament, don't you County Magistrate Zhang understand either? What a mess! ”

Zhang Lingzhi hurriedly laughed and said, "Director Xiao, Xiao Ye does have a few good ideas and suggestions, you will understand when you hear it." As for the things he mentioned, they were all small toys and snacks bought for Xiaohua, and they were Xiao Ye's thoughts, so don't blame him. Why don't you check it first? ”

Ye Ming also hurriedly smiled and said: "Director Xiao, County Magistrate Zhang has introduced you to me many times, saying that you are a very honest and spotless good leader, so you can rest assured, I will not mention any valuable gifts to visit you." You see, these are indeed some small toys for Xiaohua's younger brother to play with, and a little bit of food that children love to eat, nothing else. ”

As he spoke, he really pulled the big bag open for Xiao Jin to see.

Xiao Jin lowered his head and looked into the bag very seriously for a while, and saw that it was indeed just some children's toys and food, and the expression on his face relaxed, and he moved his body away from the door and invited Ye Ming and Zhang Lingzhi in.

After Ye Ming entered the living room, he looked around and found that as Zhang Lingzhi said, Director Xiao's house looked relatively poor at first glance: this was a three-bedroom and two-hall house, the living room was empty, there were almost no decent furniture, only an octagonal stove for winter fire, still iron; two old wooden sofas, with peeling paint on them, arranged at right angles to the east and west; Between the two sofas is a small counter with some books and stationery messily placed on it; On the wall facing the doorway, there is a large wall mirror that was more fashionable in the nineties of the last century, but now it has long been outdated, which is the most luxurious decoration in this living room; The ground was covered with a kind of lattice purple porcelain plate, which was also very old.

There is no air conditioning in the living room, and a rusty ceiling fan is turning overhead, making a creaking sound, which makes people nervous, for fear that it will suddenly fall off the top of their heads; Since it is the hot season, the living room is very hot, and the wind blowing from this fan is also hot, and it does not feel cool at all. As soon as Ye Ming entered, he was sweating profusely......

Ye Ming couldn't help but feel a little sour and sighed when he saw this living room that revealed a poor atmosphere everywhere: Director Xiao is also a department-level cadre, and he is still in the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, but his family is not as good as an ordinary citizen family, let alone some other officials, large and small. Although there are objective reasons for this, such as the son's illness, the wife being laid off, the parents and younger brothers in the hometown need to be raised and cared for, and so on. However, if Director Xiao had been a little "smart" and relaxed his strict requirements for himself, he would never be able to be poor now!

It can be seen from this that Zhang Lingzhi's evaluation of him is completely considerable and correct, and this Director Xiao is definitely a clean and good official with clean sleeves and dust......

Xiao Jin saw that Ye Ming was looking around at his living room, with a look of surprise in his eyes, so he smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Xiao Ye, you are coming to my house for the first time, do you think my house is too simple and shabby?" A lot of people come to my house for the first time and they have the look you look like you have on their faces. However, I have never felt embarrassed, and I have never been afraid of others coming to my house to see this dilapidated appearance. My family is already in trouble, and it's not a bad thing, is it? Still, I see you're sweating profusely hot right now. You young people may not be able to stand the stuffy air in my house, so let's go to my son's bedroom, which is the only air-conditioned room in my house. ”

As he spoke, Xiao Jin pushed open the door of the innermost bedroom and walked in with Zhang Lingzhi and Ye Ming.

This bedroom has a wall-mounted air conditioner, which makes it cool as soon as you enter. Xiao Jin's son Xiaohua was sitting at his desk reading a comic book, and when he saw someone coming in, he showed a shy look on his face, and lowered his head, not daring to look at Zhang Lingzhi and Ye Ming.

Ye Ming saw that Xiaohua had clear eyebrows, white teeth and red lips, just looking at his appearance, he was indeed a very cute child. However, his right leg was as small as a hemp rod, hanging under the chair, which made people feel extremely distressed and dazzling at first sight......

Xiao Jin showed a very loving and gentle expression on his face to his son, walked over and lowered his head, and while touching his son's cheek lovingly with his hand, he said softly: "Xiaohua, you go to the bed and lie down first, Dad wants to talk to these two uncles about something, just half an hour." After you finish talking, Dad will tell you another story and you will go to sleep, okay? ”

When Xiao Jin and Xiao Hua were talking, Ye Ming had already opened the bag in his hand, took out the remote control plane from it, walked in front of Xiao Hua, and said with a smile: "Xiao Hua, can you play a game with your brother first?" You see, this plane can fly, I'll let him fly one for you first. ”

Xiao Hua raised his eyes and looked at the exquisitely made, very beautiful airplane model in Ye Ming's hand, the shy expression on his face was immediately replaced by a childlike curiosity, and he raised his head to look at Xiao Jin, with a look of longing in his eyes.

Xiao Jin saw that his son wanted to see Ye Ming perform the airplane flight, so he nodded to Ye Ming and said, "Xiao Ye, then you operate one for Xiaohua to see, and after reading it, let him lie on the bed first, and we will talk about things first." ”

Ye Ming took the plane and put it on the floor, then took out a boxy remote control box, turned on the power, and pressed the remote control button, only to see that the small plane on the ground suddenly flashed with colored lights, and made a "boom" sound, and began to taxi on the floor.

Ye Ming waited for the plane to taxi to the center of the floor, and suddenly pressed the green liftoff button next to it, only to see that the small plane was just like a real passenger plane, with its head raised and tail cocked, and began to rise into the air, and it was flying back and forth in the bedroom......

Xiao Hua has been watching Ye Ming's operation intently, and when he saw the plane take off, he was so excited that he almost jumped up from his chair - it turned out that due to the poor economic conditions of his family, although Xiao Jin loved his son, he rarely bought him any valuable toys. It was the first time for Xiao Hua to see a small plane that could fly remotely today, and his eyes immediately showed a look of eagerness and excitement......

As soon as Xiao Jin saw the workmanship and function of this small plane, he guessed that this small toy must be expensive, at least a few hundred yuan, and saw that his son was so happy and excited, so he turned his head and glanced at Ye Ming, who was operating the model of the plane with great interest, and finally showed a look of satisfaction and gratitude in his eyes......
