"Mr. Yang, I'm very sorry for keeping you waiting for so long. I blame my old man for today's incident, haha...I'll have a few more drinks with you later to express my apologies." After saying that, Li Qian's father stretched out his hand to Yang Tian and smiled.
He said: "Your name is on the lips of their brothers and sisters every day. They all say that you are the pride of our city..."
Well, Yang Tian was slightly startled. He didn't expect that this old man would praise him like this. Officials are great and have good brains. Yes, you have to learn more. Just this sentence can make people feel that they are close at once.
A lot.
Yang Tian quickly stretched out his hand to hold his warm hand. He felt that his heart was extremely calm and could not feel what he was thinking. He looked grateful and said with a smile: "The old man is too polite, haha, I do too.
I'm just a commoner, so where does my pride come from? When you say that, I'm really ashamed of myself."
The old man turned around and smiled at Li Qiang: "Xiao Qiang, looking at such a vigorous young man like Mr. Yang, I realize that I am indeed old... Alas, time is not forgiving..."
"Xiaoqiang?" Yang Tian repeated the old man's words. The name reminded him of another insect.
"Puch!" Li Qian came over with a smile, nodded and said with a smile: "My dad has been calling him that since he was a child. Did you think of Cockroach Xiaoqiang?"
"What's wrong with cockroaches? They are extremely vital. People should have this kind of willpower. No matter what they do, they should have the cockroach's will to survive, otherwise they will be eliminated!" the old man said seriously.
Then he looked back at Yang Tian and asked with a smile: "Mr. Yang, do you think what I said makes sense?"
"No, no, no, old man, please don't call me that. Just call me Xiao Yang, or A Tian. I can't bear it. Haha, I am your junior. If you don't mind,
I call you uncle, and you call me A Tian..." Yang Tian did not answer Li Qian's father's words, but deliberately changed the topic and said politely.
In Yang Tian's view, what Li Qian's father said was a long story that people in the officialdom would say. If you responded to his words or discussed such an issue with him, it would be endless.
Perhaps this is the topic of discussion at tonight's dinner. Yang Tian doesn't want to talk to an old man about so many useless things. What he is interested in can't be found here. Most of the factors are involved in coming here to eat.
It all boils down to Li Qian. If it weren't for Li Qian's invitation, maybe even if Li Qiang took action in person, Yang Tian might not be able to keep the appointment. Yang Tian was still very disgusted with people in the officialdom.
"Haha..." Li Qian's father Li Huawei laughed, stretched out his hand to pat Yang Tian's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's Mr. Yang, no, no, no... A Tian is right, if you call it like this, it will look like
The relationship between us has become estranged. It's okay to call me uncle. There is not much age difference between you, Qian'er and Xiaoqiang, and they are all friends. It's appropriate to call me uncle. I like it... Sigh... If I have a son-in-law like you, I will
alright……"
"Dad, what are you talking about? Are you going to let A Tian stand and eat with you? Really!" Before Li Huawei finished speaking, Li Qian blushed and shouted to him in a sweet voice to remind him.
Don't neglect your guests.
"Wow, look at me, an old man... ugh..." Li Huawei finally woke up after being reminded by Li Qian, and hurriedly pulled Yang Tian to the dining table, and said with a smile: "A Tian, sit down quickly, you are neglecting me.
"Uncle is really confused today. Haha, don't mind..."
"Uncle, look what you said, one family doesn't speak the same language as the other, but I never know what politeness means, haha... Don't worry, I will treat you as my own relatives and won't be polite to you... Just feel free to
,Don’t be so formal..." Yang Tian laughed.
"Okay, I like it when young people have a personality like yours, haha..." Yang Tian's personality is very bold, and he is deeply liked by Li Huawei. Yang Tian's simple words made Li Huawei like him more and more.
It's like a father-in-law looks at a son-in-law, his eyes are a little different.
However, the most shameful person is Li Qian. She just heard her father say that she likes someone like Yang Tian to be his son-in-law. Because of these words, Li Qian couldn't calm down for a long time. She was very complicated, very happy, and had a feeling of happiness.
Something slowly spread in her heart. She sat next to Yang Tian, opened and poured wine for Yang Tian, and then served him food. She didn't notice at all that her brother and father had seen something.
When Li Qian was silently doing this for Yang Tian, Li Huawei and Li Qiang looked at each other, as if their father and son were communicating with their eyes: Is Qian'er in love with Yang Tian?
Anyone with a discerning eye can understand it at a glance. Do you need to guess? Hey! Li Qiang didn't speak the whole time. He sat quietly next to Li Huawei, looked at Yang Tian, and listened calmly to the conversation between his father and Yang Tian. For him,
Today's protagonist is Yang Tian. However, with the elders present, there is no room for him to speak. This is the family tradition of the Li family. He has received strict education since he was a child. Li Qiang still has this quality. This has a certain connection with ancient education.
In front of the elders, how can the younger generation speak?
"Uncle, I have been like this since I was a child. I will not compliment anyone. I will speak out when I have anything to say and do whatever I want. I am used to it. Haha... If I have done something wrong in any way, you should be more tolerant.
Ah, I haven't received much education since I was a child, uncle, please be considerate! Don't be as knowledgeable as the younger generation!" Seeing that Li Huawei liked him so much, Yang Tian also began to be polite to elders like Li Huawei and said some polite words.
"Really? Why didn't I see it? Are you jealous of my old man? Come... have a drink. You must drink this glass of wine. Thank you for helping Qian'er and our family so much!" said
At this point, Li Huawei's face changed, and he said a little sadly: "The old man was so narrow-minded that he drove Qian'er out... If you hadn't reminded Xiaoqiang, then... alas... I won't say it anymore, Ah Tian, it's done.
With this glass of wine, the old man sincerely thanks you for doing so many things for our family..."
"Uncle, look at what you said, I actually didn't do anything. All of this is the result of your family's efforts. If you say so, I really can't finish this meal... I feel like eating it.
Shame on you..." Yang Tian said politely with a smile.
"Haha..." Li Huawei laughed, nodded, and said: "Okay, I won't say anything anymore, just keep it in mind...drink..."
After saying that, Li Huawei's glass clinked with Yang Tian's wine glass, and together with Yang Tian, he drank the wine in one gulp.
"Dad, you are not in good health, drink less..." Seeing this, Li Qian quickly reminded Li Huawei of his generosity. This is no joke. He is getting older. If he drinks like this, wouldn't he have to go to the hospital? But Li Qian
Qian was still very happy in her heart. Apart from being happy, under Li Huawei's words just now, Li Qian and Li Qiang felt the same sadness in their hearts, and even had an urge to cry. Over the years, for Li Qian,
, it should be the most difficult thing, as he survives alone and strong despite being abandoned by his relatives.
"I'm happy today...it doesn't matter..." Li Huawei touched his mouth with his hand, waved his hand with a smile and said: "Qian'er, hurry up...give it to A Tianman, you brothers and sisters should also toast him with a glass of wine...We specially selected it today
Such a place expresses our Li family’s gratitude to A Tian.”
"Yes, yes..." Li Qiang heard his father's words and quickly stood up from the chair, picked up the wine glass, looked at Yang Tian and said: "Mr. Yang, actually I should thank you most, and I won't talk about Qian'er's matter.
Now, I went from mayor to municipal party committee secretary, and you played a big role in it... If it weren't for your words that made the provincial party committee leaders strongly recommend me... maybe I, like other colleagues, would have been demoted long ago...
"
"Haha..." Yang Tian chuckled. Of course, he knew what Li Qiang meant. He thought that Li Qiang came to power because Ouyang Qingfeng was acting recklessly in Fuzhou. However, it was also this opportunity that Yang Tian said something about Li Qiang in front of the Provincial Party Committee Secretary.
The situation, the relationship between Provincial Party Committee Secretary Deng Suyu and Qiu Ming, naturally knew Yang Tian's identity and power. Regardless of public or private affairs, he would choose a candidate who could really manage Fuzhou. Li Qiang was the best choice, so at that time
Deng Suyu did a favor and attributed this support to Yang Tian. Thinking of this, Yang Tian raised his glass and said with a smile: "Secretary Li, I can't afford this. You are an official and I am a civilian.
I have no right to interfere with your official affairs. What you have today is the result of your own efforts... I don’t say anything anymore and drank this glass of wine..."
"Well..." Li Qiang didn't expect that Yang Tian would be so low-key. In this matter, Yang Tian indeed helped him, but Yang Tian not only refused to admit it, but was also so humble. This made Li Qiang look at Yang Tian in a different light.
Without any more words, Li Qiang picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
"Haha... okay..." Li Huawei laughed and said to Li Qiang: "Look at what this kid said, let's go change clothes first and come back for dinner... Qian'er... stay with A Tian... don't neglect it.
Got guests..."
As they spoke, the two stood up and walked out. After Li Qian saw her brother and father leaving, her tense expression immediately relaxed. She smiled and said to Yang Tian, "I can't tell, you are quite good at talking."
Of... you made my dad so happy... Hehe... Ah Tian, thank you..."
"Thank me?" Yang Tian deliberately pretended to be confused. In fact, he understood Li Qian's thoughts better than anyone else. Then he leaned over and whispered to Li Qian: "Actually... I don't know either.
Your father's temper is just the temper between your father and me, haha... By the way, I couldn't see it even if I thought about it. You would be so shy. Are you a little impatient to tell them about our relationship? This will make your father even happier.
?”
"Fuck you." When Li Qian heard Yang Tian's words, she immediately thought of what Li Huawei had said just now, and thought of Yang Tian as her son-in-law. Li Qian stretched out her hand, pushed Yang Tian's shoulder lightly, and whispered:
"It's more nonsense...how can anyone else..."
After saying that, Li Qian lowered her head shyly, with a look of happiness and sweetness on her face. In fact, in Li Qian's heart, she really had the urge to tell her relationship with Yang Tian, but the age gap between her and Yang Tian was still small.
With his father's temper and the fact that Yang Tian already had a girlfriend, Li Qian finally resisted the impulse. She didn't want to cause Yang Tian to be embarrassed in front of his girlfriend because of her impulse. Li Qian was also an ordinary person.
An ordinary woman knows what consequences such a thing will have.
