After thinking about it, Qiao Liang said, "Dad, you have been in contact with Lu Qian more than once. You should know what kind of girl Lu Qian is. She is completely different from Zhang Mei. As for Lu Qian's father, Secretary Liao, , although he holds a high position, how did you feel about contacting him during the Chinese New Year? I believe you can also feel that he is a very kind person, without any official pretensions. This is related to Secretary Liao’s previous background. Secretary Liao He also came from the countryside before, and he has always considered himself a farmer's son, so Secretary Liao has never had that condescending attitude, and he is still very easy to get along with."
The son's words made Qiao Liang's parents exchange looks with each other again. They could vaguely feel that their son actually had a certain tendency in his heart. Qiao Liang's father couldn't help but wonder, "Liangzi, since you said so, then you are hesitating." What?"
"Dad, I..." Qiao Liang was at a loss for words, looked at her parents with a bitter smile, and suddenly didn't know how to speak.
After hesitating for a moment, Qiao Liang said, "Dad, Mom, do you still have an impression of Ye Xinyi?"
Ye Xinyi? When Qiao Liang's parents heard this name, that beautiful face immediately came to mind. How could they not be impressed by such a good-looking woman, especially their son who was single and divorced, so they were not impressed by the person who came to their home. Qiao Liang's parents always pay more attention to young women, and they also gossip about the relationship between the other party and their son and whether they will become their daughter-in-law in the future. Therefore, Qiao Liang's parents are very concerned about Ye Xinyi and Lu Qian. He had a deep impression. When he heard his son ask this question, the two of them suddenly realized something. Qiao Liang's father blinked at his son, "Liang Zi, do you not know how to choose between Ye Xinyi and Lu Qian?"
Qiao Liang scratched his head, "Dad, that's not what you said, it's just... just..."
Qiao Liang didn't know how to explain it for the moment. To be fair, although he and Ye Xinyi had an encounter when they were drunk, they actually have no clear relationship at present, they are just somewhat close. However, Qiao Liang knew very well that Ye Xinyi was interested in He has a great impression of Ye Xinyi, but if he really wants to confess to Ye Xinyi, Qiao Liang is not 100% sure that Ye Xinyi will agree to him.
As the saying goes, a mother knows her son better than her mother. Seeing her son's reaction, Qiao Liang's mother couldn't help but said, "Liangzi, you can't eat from the bowl and look at the pot when it comes to feelings. You have to make a choice when it's time to make it, otherwise in the end Maybe you won't get anything, Mom, I don't know what you think, but Mom prefers this girl Lu Qian. It's not that Mom has a bad impression of Ye Xinyi, but I think Lu Qian is more attractive to her."
The reason why Qiao Liang's mother likes Lu Qian more is actually very simple. It is not because of Lu Qian's family background, but because Lu Qian has never been married, while Ye Xinyi has been divorced and stands as the parent of her parents. From the perspective of parents, even if their sons are also divorced, in the eyes of parents, they will always blindly feel that their sons are the best. Therefore, when it comes to finding a partner, although both Lu Qian and Ye Xinyi are very Excellent, but when the two of them were compared together, the balance in Qiao Liang's mother's mind could not help but tilt towards Lu Qian.
These words of Qiao Liang's mother will undoubtedly have a significant impact on Qiao Liang to some extent. At this moment, Qiao Liang did not speak, staring at the floor in a daze. His mother's words touched him quite a bit.
When Qiao Liang was silent, Qiao Liang's mother continued, "Liang Zi, if you are here to listen to your parents' opinions, then your mother is more optimistic about you being together with that girl Lu Qian."
Qiao Liang nodded silently, "Mom, I understand."
Qiao Liang's mother thought for a while and then said, "Liangzi, if you can decide your life-long affairs as soon as possible, you should decide it as soon as possible. You are not young anymore. Your father and I both hope that you can start a new family as soon as possible."
Qiao Liang didn't speak this time. Her mother had shown a very obvious tendency, which made Qiao Liang feel very complicated.
After a brief silence, Qiao Liang looked at his father again, "Dad, what do you think?"
Qiao Liang's father said, "I agree with your mother. You are not young anymore. It would be better to start a family as soon as possible. This way your mother and I can settle our worries. Otherwise, we will always worry about your life-long events."
Hearing his father's words, Qiao Liang's heart was shaken. He found that he had always ignored his parents' thoughts. His parents had always hoped that he could start a new family as soon as possible, but he never paid attention to it.
Let his parents always care about him.
At this moment, Qiao Liang had the thought of extremely self-blame. No matter how successful he was in his career, if he was still emotionally unsettled, how could he be successful? As the ancients said, start a family first and then start a career. If a man does not have a
A perfect family, no matter how high its achievements are, is ultimately not considered a success.
Thinking in his mind, Qiao Liang said, "Mom, Dad, let me think about the engagement between Lu Qian and I. I will tell you the final decision soon."
Qiao Liang's mother nodded and said, "Liangzi, after you think about it, you have to tell us as soon as possible what we need to prepare for the engagement with the woman, so that we can prepare in advance, and some of the betrothal gifts for the engagement are...
Don’t we have to take the initiative to talk to the woman’s house first? Although our family’s conditions are not as good as others, we must not lose our etiquette.”
Qiao Liang shook his head and said, "Mom, you're overthinking it. I'm sure I won't ask for any betrothal gifts or anything like that."
Qiao Liang's mother immediately said, "It's not the same thing as others, but we have to prepare. This is also an attitude to express respect for the woman's family. We can't make people think that we have no etiquette at all."
Qiao Liang curled his lips disapprovingly. He didn't like these red tapes, but when he thought about it carefully, what his mother said was not unreasonable. The amount of the bride price was secondary, and it expressed an attitude of respect.
When this idea came to Qiao Liang's mind, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. Before he made the final decision, he followed his mother to think of the wedding gift for the engagement.
In the following time, Qiao Liang chatted with his parents for a long time. Their parents expressed the hope that he could start a family again soon, and they even showed a very fond attitude towards Lu Qian. This was very important to Qiao Liang.
The influence of Liang cannot be ignored.
It was near evening that Qiao Liang left home. After driving out of Qiaojiayu, on his way back to the city, Qiao Liang accidentally turned onto the ramp leading to Songbei on the highway. At this moment, Qiao Liang suddenly
I want to meet Ye Xinyi.
Qiao Liang didn't know what kind of mentality he had, but he felt that he needed to talk to Ye Xinyi. He didn't want to leave any knots in his mind.
The figure of Ye Xinyi flashed in his mind, and recalling the contacts and interactions between himself and Ye Xinyi over the years, Qiao Liang was filled with emotions and couldn't help but sigh. Life is like a play without rehearsal, no one knows what will happen tomorrow.
What would happen? Before today, how could he have thought that he would have to make a decision on his marriage so soon?
The car was speeding on the highway. After Qiao Liang got off the Songbei Expressway exit, he called Ye Xinyi.
When the call was connected, Ye Xinyi, who didn't know Qiao Liang had come to Songbei, asked, "Qiao Liang, what's the matter?"
Qiao Liang said, "My favorite, I came to Songbei, where are you now?"
Ye Xinyi said unexpectedly, "Are you coming to Songbei?"
Qiao Liang nodded, "Yeah."
Ye Xinyi smiled after hearing this and said, "Then I'll book a hotel and treat you to dinner. Secretary Qiao is welcome to come to Songbei to inspect the work."
Qiao Liang said without further ado, "Okay, let's meet at the hotel later, and you can send me your address."
Ye Xinyi smiled and said, "Okay, see you later."
Across the phone, Ye Xinyi didn't notice that Qiao Liang was a little different from usual, and it was already reflected in the way she called her. Normally, Qiao Liang would have liked to call her "beauty" with a hint of ridicule, but just now, Qiao Liang just called her name in a normal manner, and his tone was much more serious. Even if she joked with Qiao Liang in the end, Qiao Liang didn't respond.
Ye Xinyi, who was still in the office at the moment, quickly booked a private room, sent the address to Qiao Liang, and then took a car to the hotel.
After Ye Xinyi waited in the hotel for a while, Qiao Liang also arrived. Qiao Liang, who had worked in Songbei for a period of time, was very familiar with the streets and alleys of Songbei. When he saw the name of the hotel sent by Ye Xinyi, Qiao Liang Liang didn't even need to look at the navigation to know where the hotel was.
Seeing Qiao Liang coming, Ye Xinyi joked again, "Secretary Qiao, why are you free to come to Songbei today? Are you here to guide our work?"
Qiao Liang smacked his lips and said, "I don't dare to be a guide. As a deputy secretary of the disciplinary department, how can I be qualified to guide your work?"
Ye Xinyi smiled and said, "Hey, when did you become so humble? You are the old county magistrate of Songbei. You have a great say in the work of Songbei."
Qiao Liang waved his hand, "If you are not in my position, you will not seek political advice. I have resigned, so I don't dare to point fingers."
Ye Xinyi laughed when she heard this, and was about to joke again when she realized that Qiao Liang's expression was not quite right. She was not as active and energetic as usual, so she couldn't help but asked strangely, "Qiao Liang, is there something wrong with you?"
Qiao Liang walked to Ye Xinyi and sat down next to her. He looked at Ye Xinyi blankly and said, "Xinyi, I came to Songbei this time because I want to talk to you about the things between us."
Ye Xinyi was stunned and looked at Qiao Liang in confusion, "What's going on between us?"
Qiao Liang nodded lightly, "That's right."
Qiao Liang's face was no longer as frivolous as usual, but looked extra serious. Ye Xinyi's heart skipped a beat when she saw it. She looked at Qiao Liang strangely and said with a fake smile, "Qiao Liang, what can we do between us?" What's the matter? And you can just call me and tell me, and you even drive all the way to Songbei."
Qiao Liang looked at Ye Xinyi and suddenly didn't know how to speak. Before coming, he actually didn't think clearly about how he should talk to Ye Xinyi. He only knew that if he didn't come, he would leave a knot in his heart. , but when he finally came, Qiao Liang was a little confused. How should he open this conversation with Ye Xinyi?
