At around seven o'clock in the morning, there was some noise in the hospital. Xu Ziqi, who was slightly squirming with her long eyelashes, felt that she had slept so comfortably that night, and subconsciously stretched her waist. When she closed her eyes tightly, she stretched her arms and legs.
When he touched Bei's head, he suddenly opened his eyes. When he saw Zhang Bei's unscrupulous eyes looking at his naked upper body, he quickly took his hands back and subconsciously hugged his chest.
Zhang Bei, with a smirk on his face, teased the other person from time to time, causing Xu Ziqi to blush! Around eight o'clock, the nurse came to change Zhang Bei's dressing and add water! Xu Ziqi, who had already washed and dressed up, helped Zhang Bei make the bed.
, took the lunch box and prepared to go back to cook corn porridge for him. However, when she had just sent the nurse away and was about to go back, Xu Ming's arrival made Xu Ziqi panic like a little girl!
Standing at the door, Xu Ziqi, who could not calm down her inner turmoil for a long time, stared at her big eyes and hesitated without saying a word.
"Why are you blocking the door to prevent us from entering?"
"Ah? Dad, Mom, why are you here? There is no class today..." Although Xu Ziqi said this, she did not give up her position. Looking at her daughter like this, Xu Ming felt like a mirror in her heart and replied calmly.
:
"Today is Saturday, my daughter, I am really ready to leave my father at the door..."
"It's not dad, it's..."
"Ziqi, who is it?" Zhang Bei, who heard the conversation between the two men, couldn't help but ask.
"Young man, I am Ziqi's father. Look, my daughter refuses to let me in for fear of scaring you..." Hearing Xu Ming's powerful voice, Zhang Bei was so frightened that he peed his pants. The second-in-command in Su Province
, came to visit, and was blocked at the door by Xu Ziqi. This spread spread that Zhang Bei’s reputation was quite high!
Hearing what his father said, Xu Ziqi looked at his father with a bit of resentment, gave way, and then whispered:
"Dad, Mom, don't ask anything right now..." Looking at his daughter's nervous expression, Xu Ming was so happy that his daughter was willing to put her mind on a man. This was Xu Ming's expectation for many years.
, after all, what happened twenty years ago cast too big a shadow on Zijia’s daughter! However, according to my own investigation, this man had many romantic affairs outside, and each of them had a background, which had to be allowed to Xu.
At the beginning of Ming Dynasty, he was very careful about trying to gain more chips for his daughter.
Xu Ming's mother, who had been standing behind Xu Ming from beginning to end, didn't make a sound, but the eyes she looked at Xu Ziqi contained deep maternal love. When Xu Ming walked in first, Xu Ziqi, who was holding her stepmother's arm, whispered in her ear
What? Xu’s mother kept nodding with the corners of her mouth raised!
Zhang Bei sat up with difficulty and pretended to get out of bed to greet Xu Ming, but Xu Ming stopped him! Although the experienced Xu Ming knew that Zhang Bei was pretending, but in terms of etiquette, the other party was
Respect yourself!
Xu Ming, who was sitting beside Zhang Bei's bed without any pretense, looked at Zhang Bei with a smile, which made Zhang Bei feel a little frightened. However, Xu Ziqi hurried over and poured two glasses of water for his father and mother, which relieved him.
The invisible dilemma in between.
Seeing his daughter's behavior, Xu Mingqian took a sip of tea, shook his head gently, and then said:
"The young man's name is Zhang Bei, right?"
"Ah? Uncle, you can just call me Xiaobei, my nickname is Huzi..."
"Hu Zi? Haha, okay, I'll call you Hu Zi..." While the other party was looking at Zhang Bei, Zhang Bei was also observing the second in command of Su Province and his mother, Xu Ming, who was sitting behind him. I have to say that although Xu Ming
He was over fifty, but there was no trace of the baptism of time on his face. On the contrary, Xu Ming looked a little old, dressed simply, without any pretense.
In the following time, Xu Ming and Zhang Bei answered questions and answers, ranging from injuries to career, and from career to family. Especially when it came to family, Xu Ziqi frequently added water to Xu Ming, which attracted Xu's mother.
Secretly laughing non-stop!
During this period, Xu Ming answered a phone call. It should be a matter within the government. Xu Ming, who knew that there was no hope of promotion, has basically let go of all his power. Is it wise to protect himself? However, as the old governor of Su Province, his prestige is still there.
, and then each department habitually reported to him before handling a certain major event.
Just when Xu Ming was on the phone, Xu's mother was chatting with Zhang Bei in a strong Hong Kong local dialect. During the chat, Zhang Bei realized that Xu's mother was a serious Hong Kong person, but she just followed her father's actions.
It was only when I came to Jinling for business, and then I met Xu Ming, that I started to have a relationship that was constantly being sorted out and messed up.
The chat between Zhang Bei and Xu's mother was very casual. In addition, Xu's mother was a university teacher and her speech was quite polite. Xu Ziqi, who was standing aside, saw that her mother and Zhang Bei had many common topics. She finally let go of the topic.
Come down!
I thought that with a phone call, my father would go out to do errands, but unexpectedly, Xu Ming turned around, saw Zhang Bei and Xu Ming chatting happily, and asked directly with a smile:
"Hu Zi, can you play chess?"
"A little bit good, but not good..."
"Then let's play a few games. Look how advanced the equipment of this hospital is, and there's also a kitchen. Ziqi, go to the supermarket with your mother to buy something, and we'll eat here at noon..."
"Dad..." Xu Ming did not answer his words, but glanced at her. Xu Ziqi understood what her father's eyes meant. She helped Zhang Bei stand up, turned around, and nodded to Zhang Bei with a resentful look.
He nodded! Zhang Bei smiled and gave the other party a soothing smile, and Xu Ziqi walked out of the room with three steps at a time!
Xu Ming packed up the things on the bedside table and personally took out the chess set that had been prepared. Looking at this posture, he had been prepared before coming!
When playing chess with the elders, the younger generation will usually go first. When the two of them set up the chessboard, Xu Ming said softly:
"If you are a female college student, just look at my daughter and you will know..." Zhang Bei smiled awkwardly, did not answer, and remained silent.
Zhang Bei, who has always advocated attack, ran for the goal at the beginning, and Xu Ming's horse jumped out... About ten minutes later, the formations of both sides had been opened. At this time, Zhang Bei was in a dilemma, and Xu Ming's horse jumped out.
Ming Na's iron-clad defense and just-right offensive system allowed Zhang Bei to take advantage from the beginning and gradually turn into a tough battle!
Although it was a tough battle, Zhang Bei still enjoyed the hardship. After successfully defeating the opponent's big order, the situation instantly returned to its original balance.
Although Zhang Bei was defeated in the end, his fierce attacks still made Xu Ming feel troublesome. Although Xu Ming was not a master, the only one who could compete with Qi Feng in the government compound was Wang Tianming, who had the same hobby.
They also have the same political purpose, and the two have always maintained a certain tacit understanding on the Standing Committee.
"Lao Wang usually teaches you a lot..." After hearing the opponent's words, Zhang Bei, who was playing chess, knew that he was finally getting to the point!
"I rarely play chess with Minister Wang, and there are few opportunities to come to Jinling..."
"Well, the Wang family girl is in Hong Kong City..."
"Um.."
"Nice girl..." After saying this, Xu Ming stopped talking, and the two of them returned to the silence just now. Later, when the two of them were playing chess, they rarely talked about anything, but Xu Ming's sentence was broken or because of
His daughter's words to create momentum still allowed Zhang Bei to see the difficulties of a father working hard for his daughter!
When Xu Ziqi opened the door furiously and barged in, the third game of chess between Zhang Bei and Xu Ming had just begun. Seeing the panting Xu Ziqi, Xu Ming smiled and joked:
"What? Are you afraid that I'll eat the tiger cubs?" Xu Ziqi's face turned a little red when he heard this! If his mother hadn't been dragging him around to look around, Xu Ziqi would have come back directly after buying groceries.
It took so long. To be honest, she was still a little afraid of what her father would say to Zhang Bei, which would make the tacit understanding between the two of them finally maintain evaporate.
Xu Ming cooked the food himself. Xu Ziqi, who was starting the first set, would poke his head out to look at his father and Zhang Bei from time to time. It was not until the fourth set that Zhang Bei still lost, that Xu Ming stretched and said with a smile:
"My chess skills are pretty good. Let's learn more when we have time..."
"Okay..." Just when Xu Ming put away the chessboard and was about to stand up, Zhang Bei said to him seriously:
"Uncle, I will be kind to Ziqi and won't let her get hurt a second time..." When Zhang Bei finished saying this, Xu Ming's expression was obviously a little fluctuating, but he covered it up very well, with a slight smile.
He nodded, smiled and patted his shoulder.
'Second injury?' Xu Ming, standing on the balcony, smoking a cigarette, muttered to himself! From Zhang Bei's words, Xu Ming already knew that Xu Ziqi told Zhang Bei about her past.
In other words, the relationship between the two is not just as simple as it seems on the surface! The daughter lets go of her worries and faces the life a woman should have again, but can that young man really give his daughter happiness as he said?
Xu Ming didn't know, and wasn't sure. Just when Xu Ming was struggling, Xu Ziqi's voice calling him to eat came from the back room. Xu Ming threw all his thoughts behind and strode into the room!
When he saw Zhang Bei's confident face, he unconsciously felt much more at ease.
The meal ended with laughter. Xu Ming, an "old drunkard", did not drink in order to take care of Zhang Bei, but when he talked about Xu Ziqi's childhood timidity, Xu Ming still aroused Xu Ziqi's "strong resistance".
The fight between father and daughter suddenly narrowed the distance between them!
Xu Ming left the ward at around two o'clock in the afternoon. Before leaving, he patted Zhang Bei's shoulder meaningfully and asked him to have a good rest. If he was fine, he would come home for a drink. After Zhang Bei nodded repeatedly,
Xu Ming smiled and left the room!
Xu Ziqi, who only sent her parents to the door and hurried back, quickly closed the door tightly and said to Zhang Bei mysteriously:
"What did my dad tell you?"
"Just chatting about everyday things..."
"real?"
"Of course, we are discussing whether his daughter will live in Hong Kong City or Jinling..."
