"Xiaohui, what is your adoptive father's name? What does he do?" Li Yuanlang asked.

"He..." When Ye Qingrou mentioned her adoptive father, she was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say.

"Is his name Ye Mingming? Political commissar of the Donghe Provincial Military Region?" Li Yuanlang guessed.

"You..." Ye Qingrou widened her eyes and asked, "Brother, do you know your second uncle?"

That's right, Ye Qingrou is indeed a member of the Ye family. Second uncle? In other words, if Ye is not her adoptive father tomorrow, who could he be? Could it be Ye Mingren?

At this moment, Wang Song answered the phone and hid while talking with his mouth covered. There were only two brothers and sisters. Li Yuanlang had no scruples and asked Ye Qingrou again: "Xiaohui, your adoptive father is not Ye Mingming, is he Ye Mingren?"

?”

"Brother, how did you know?" Ye Qingrou did not answer directly, which was equivalent to indirectly acknowledging Ye Mingren's identity.

"The Ye family is famous. Who doesn't know that Ye Mingren is the governor of Nanling Province?" Li Yuanlang said truthfully: "To be fair to Xiaohui, your brother and I are also in the officialdom. Although my official position is not high, I have great influence on the province.

The leaders still know a little bit about it.”

"Brother, my adoptive parents are actually very good to me, especially my adoptive father, who always treats me as his own daughter, and my grandfather, who treats me even better than his biological granddaughter." Ye Qingrou misunderstood Li Yuanlang, thinking that he was worried about her being in this kind of situation.

Officials suffered a lot and received unfair treatment.

"That's good. If they treat you badly, our Li family welcomes you back at any time." Li Yuanlang said these words with obvious lack of confidence.

Compared with the famous Ye family, is their family still a family? My mother passed away, my father lives in a nursing home, and his brother is also alone, often away from home, without any warmth of home.

More importantly, Ye's family is in the capital, and her sister also works in a large company in the capital. It is impossible to return to the small Ganping County. There is only a trace of sustenance for her here.

Ye Qingrou came back from searching for relatives this time because her adoptive father showed her the family photo and talked about her life experience by the way, but only said that her biological mother's name was Fan Yuqin and she lived in Yuyu Hutong, Ganping County.

There is also a brother named Li Yuanlang.

As for her biological father, Li Yizhao, Ye Mingren didn't mention it. Ye Qingrou found out about it through other channels, which she still doesn't understand.

While the two brothers and sisters were talking, Wang Song also came over after answering the phone and whispered in Ye Qingrou's ear: "It's Brother Wei's call." and asked Li Yuanlang: "Brother, you are the party committee of Shuiming Township.

Secretary and township chief?”

"Sesame and mung bean, a small official is not worth mentioning." Li Yuanlang is not polite. There is such a jingle. If you don't go to Pengcheng, you won't know how much money you have. If you don't go to the capital, you won't know how small the official is. This is true. In the capital, a division director

Just like the section chiefs in the county, they are everywhere, not to mention that he, Li Yuanlang, is only a junior officer.

"Brother, it's amazing that you are the official of the same place at such a young age." Wang Song praised.

"Don't put a high hat on my brother's head. I have the impression that my brother was smart when he was a child and was good at studying. Being a secretary of the township committee is nothing, he might even be the governor of the province in the future." Speaking of Li Yuanlang, Ye

Qingrou's eyes were full of pride.

Li Yuanlang couldn't help but chuckle in his heart. This little girl's face didn't turn red when she told lies. She was only three years old when she was lost. She didn't understand anything. She probably didn't even have an impression of her family. How could she learn from his brother?

evaluate?

The three of them were talking and laughing, and the heavy snowfall did not affect their mood at all. When they rushed to the nursing home, Ye Qingrou saw Li Yizhao sitting in the wheelchair in the corridor, her eyes were red, she ran a few steps quickly and fell to her knees.

In front of Li Yizhao, she threw herself on his legs and shouted sternly: "Dad, I'm Xiaohui." She was so painful that she cried loudly.

Li Yizhao was startled by Ye Qingrou's actions, and then he started kicking his hands and feet, and started yelling. What's even more strange is that he actually tried his best to push it away with his only hand.

Ye Qingrou said one word again and again in a confused manner. The word was not very clear and could not be heard by outsiders, but Li Yuanlang could understand it. How could dad say that word?

Get out! Yes, that’s the word.

Dad's abnormal behavior made Ye Qingrou, whose eyes were wandering, at a loss. Even Li Yuanlang couldn't figure out the situation. He came over and patted Dad on the shoulder and kept introducing him: "Dad, she is Xiaohui, she is from our family."

The long-lost Xiaohui!"

"Wuwu... Gugu, get out!" Li Yizhao remained unmoved, appearing angry and excited, and pushed Ye Qingrou away when she came forward again.

No one thought that what was originally a tragic and joyful scene of separated relatives meeting would end like this.

Ye Qingrou cried and twisted her face and ran away. Wang Song looked at Li Yizhao and then at Li Yuanlang. He didn't know what to say, so he had to turn around and go to Ye Qingrou.

"Dad, what exactly are you causing trouble?" Li Yuanlang couldn't understand why his father treated his little sister like this. A tiger can't eat its own child, let alone a father and daughter who have been separated for many years. There is no enmity, only family affection.

Why bother making everyone unhappy?

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Li Yizhao was so anxious that he slapped the armrest of his wheelchair and his feet were shaking slightly. If it weren't for hemiplegia, he seemed to have the intention to stand up.

He was anxious because he couldn't speak clearly. Seeing his son's incomprehensible look, Li Yizhao, who really couldn't express himself, made wild gestures to the male nurse next to him. The male nurse nodded and understood, and ran out for a while.

He took a newspaper, pointed to the enlarged photo on it, and said two words with all his strength: bad guy.

Li Yuanlang was shocked when he saw the person in the photo, especially the line of small letters at the bottom indicating the person's name, Ye Mingren, and asked his father for confirmation: "Dad, what do you mean, he is a bad person?"

"Yeah." Dad kept nodding, finally expressing what he was thinking, but he was still out of breath and sweating profusely.

Li Yuanlang quickly pushed his father back to the room with the nurse and put him to rest.

He had questions again and again. He still didn't find out why his father hated Ye Mingren and why he had this attitude towards his daughter.

Li Yuanlang couldn't bear the thought of his little sister coming all the way to find her relatives, only to end up like this. When he walked out of the nursing home, his little sister knelt in the wind and snow and sobbed. No matter how Wang Song tried to persuade her, she refused to listen.

, I kept kneeling and crying.

Li Yuanlang was worried that she would freeze again, so he came over in three steps at a time, pulled her up from the snow, shook her and yelled: "Why are you ruining yourself? Dad is a patient and he behaves abnormally."

You have to understand, what do you care about with a patient?"

"Brother...I..." For some reason, Ye Qingrou did not refute Li Yuanlang's slightly rude approach, and let Li Yuanlang drag her out of the nursing home. Wang Song followed behind like a doormat, with his head lowered.

Say nothing.

After walking for a while, Li Yuanlang saw a tavern next to him. When he walked in, he saw that it was an old acquaintance, Han Laosan, Han Wei's third brother. His original restaurant was moved by the landlord, so he opened another one here with the name.

It is also called "Laosan Restaurant".

"Secretary Li, what a coincidence, please come in quickly." It was not yet lunch time and there were no customers in the store. Han Laosan enthusiastically let Li Yuanlang and the others into the small store.

This place is larger than the original one and much cleaner and tidier. During the winter when the farmers are busy, Han Laosan’s wife also comes to help.

Hearing that Li Yuanlang was the party committee secretary and mayor of Shuiming Township, not only Han Wei's immediate boss, but also her parents, he became even more enthusiastic. He welcomed the three of them into the private room, wiping the table and busy making tea.

He poured tea and water, and secretly went out to call Han Wei to report the news.

Han Wei did not receive the notice from Li Yuanlang and was talking on the phone with his girlfriend Xinrui at his third brother's house. When he heard his sister-in-law's cell phone, he learned that Li Yuanlang had gone to his third brother's restaurant. He hurriedly dressed up and drove straight to the restaurant.

Come.

Here, Han Laosan saw that Li Yuanlang, a girl who was crying in tears, and a young man who was in a bad mood had something to say, so he immediately winked at his wife and said: "Secretary Li, you guys talk, I'll talk first

I’ll prepare something to eat for you.”

Li Yuanlang waved his hand and said, "Brother Han, no need for now. Let's talk for a while. I'll call you if I need anything."

"Okay." Han Laosan wiped his apron with his hands, nodded and bowed, and walked out of the private room with his wife, closing the door gently.

"Little sister, I'm not telling you, our dad is already like that, don't be so petty, I will take you to see him when he is in better condition one day, don't cry, Wang Song should feel bad for crying so hard that his body is broken

." As he spoke, Li Yuanlang pulled off a napkin and handed it to Ye Qingrou, and took out a cigarette and spread it to Wang Song.

"I don't know how to smoke." Wang Song smiled and waved his hand to stop him.

Li Yuanlang was not polite. He lit a cigarette and tried to persuade Ye Qingrou a few words. Then he saw someone knocking on the door. Han Wei hurriedly rushed in and said out of breath: "Director, why don't you use the car?"

You called me and I thought you were just sitting around at home."

"Oh, I'm fine." After seeing that it was almost eleven o'clock at noon, he took out three hundred yuan and asked Han Wei to order some of the restaurant's specialty dishes. He wanted to treat his little sister and Wang Song to a good meal.

.

Han Wei refused to accept anything at first, but Li Yuanlang forced him to accept it with a straight face. Han Wei had no choice but to take the money and go out to make arrangements.

Unexpectedly, the first meal I had with my sister was in this small restaurant, but it was not bad. Often such restaurants taste better than those in big restaurants, not to mention that Han Laosan is particularly attentive to cooking.

Under Li Yuanlang's persuasion, his sister's condition gradually improved and she was able to smile happily. Wang Song felt much more relaxed when he saw his girlfriend burst into tears and laughed. He had a drink with Li Yuanlang at noon. His drinking capacity was really unflattering. He only had half a kilogram of liquor.

He became drunk after one meal and went to the toilet to vomit several times. Fortunately, Han Wei helped him get into the car and sent the three of them back to Li Yuanlang's father's house to rest.

This was Li Yuanlang's idea. Since he has a home in the city, why waste money on staying in a hotel?

Ye Qingrou is also happy to live at home. There are three rooms and one living room, one is Li Yuanlang's room, and the other is reserved for Ye Qingrou. This was the arrangement when his mother Fan Yuqin was alive, and it has not changed for many years.

After Wang Song was put to sleep on Ye Qingrou's bed, Li Yuanlang and his little sister sat in the living room and talked. The main reason was that Li Yuanlang wanted to know through the little sister's mouth what kind of family the Ye family was, and whether they were as good to the little sister as she said.

What?

Ye Qingrou told the truth and found nothing strange in her demeanor and behavior, which made Li Yuanlang feel relieved.
