But then I thought about it and realized that it was normal for a provincial governor who was such an awesome person to give awards to so many people and not be able to remember himself.
It was probably because he and Meng Wanting received the award together that he felt somewhat impressed and surprised.
"Old Zhao, is this the Zhang Yang you are looking for?" Meng Chunpeng turned his head and asked Zhao Ping.
"Yes, that's him."
Zhao Ping stood up and walked over, patted Zhang Yang's shoulder affectionately and said, "You didn't expect to see me here, did you?"
"I didn't expect that Uncle Ping wanted to see me for anything?"
Zhang Yang told the truth that he originally thought that the governor's search for him might be related to Meng Wanting, but he didn't expect that it would be Uncle Ping who was looking for him.
The last time he followed Zheng Binhao back to Beidu, although he left his phone number, there was no contact. He didn't know why he came to Donghai City again this time.
"Haha, I just arrived too."
Uncle Ping laughed and seemed to be in a good mood and continued: "In a few days, it will be the wedding day of Binhao and Youyou. I came here specifically to say hello to my old friends in Donghai City and send them a wedding invitation. Then everyone will come to support me.
Have a glass of wedding wine.”
No wonder he was so energetic, it turned out that Zheng Binhao was getting married.
It's no wonder that although he is a housekeeper, he has watched Zheng Binhao grow up, almost like his own child.
"Bin Hao is getting married? I have never heard of him looking for a girlfriend. This kid has always been silent. Which girl has he fallen in love with? How could he get married so soon?"
Meng Chunpeng had obviously just heard the news. Surprise flashed across his face and then he said happily: "Last time I saw him, he looked worried, and he was not interested in anything when I asked him. I didn't expect such a happy event so soon. Haha.
"
It seems that Meng Chunpeng is very familiar with Zheng Binhao's family, otherwise he would not know him so well. There is no artificial intimacy in his words.
At the same time, it also verified my own thinking. The reason why Zheng Binhao's parents did not agree with the two people's affairs was because their son liked people from the poisonous medicine sect.
They felt that it was not honorable, or that they were not from the right family, so outsiders did not know about their affairs.
"You are wrong about Binhao. He is silent just because he has a sweetheart."
Uncle Ping paused and continued to explain: "Young people have young people's thoughts. If he is really taciturn, how could he find his current girlfriend in college, who is beautiful and virtuous, and his parents are very happy."
In the past, being taciturn and honest was more of a compliment, or it represented a person's strengths.
But in this era, it has undoubtedly become a major shortcoming. Hearing Meng Chunpeng comment on Bin Hao like this, it is no wonder that he would explain it so laboriously.
"Really? I've never heard of it in the past. Lao Zheng is indeed a member of the army, and the confidentiality work is done well, haha." Meng Chunpeng joked.
"What else can I keep secret from you?"
Uncle Ping glanced at Zhang Yang with a smile and continued: "At first, Bin Hao's parents had a misunderstanding about his relationship with this girl, and they almost broke up. It was thanks to Zhang Yang that the misunderstanding was resolved and the two young people
Tying the knot made this wonderful marriage possible.”
After a pause, Uncle Ping continued: "Originally, the chief asked me to come and personally deliver the invitation to him, but when I arrived, I wanted to tell you this great event first. It just so happened that I rushed over when you were attending the commendation ceremony.
I was just joining in the fun and unexpectedly bumped into him, which saved me an extra trip."
"So that's it? Alas! We are all old and can't keep up with the pace of young people."
Meng Chunpeng was surprised at first. When he said this, his expression dimmed, and he sighed longly and said: "It is easy for young people to communicate with each other, and they should make their own decisions."
"Uncle Ping, if there is nothing else, I will go back first."
Zhang Yang saw the two chatting non-stop. Anyway, he also knew about Zheng Binhao's marriage and wanted to leave quickly.
It is undeniable that I feel a little restrained in front of such a powerful person as the governor.
"Well, this is the invitation from you and Miss Feng. You must attend the wedding when the time comes. This is what Bin Hao specially told me."
Uncle Ping took out two exquisite red and gold-plated invitations from his bag and handed them to him.
Zhang Yang looked through the invitation and saw photos of Zheng Binhao and Gu Mingyou printed on it, like a pair of golden boys and girls with sweet and happy smiles.
"Okay Uncle Ping, I'm going back first." After Zhang Yang said that, he stood up and walked towards the door.
Anyway, I have stopped studying and have nothing to do. Since someone deliberately invited me, I went to bless him and join in the fun.
Of course, the more important thing is that he still has a good impression of Zheng Binhao, otherwise he would not go to his wedding even if he killed himself.
I can promise to go, but I can only ask Feng Yanran. This girl has been very busy recently, and I'm afraid she won't have time to attend.
"Wait a minute Zhang Yang."
Meng Chunpeng suddenly stopped him and turned the tea cup in his hand with his big hand, which showed the uneasiness in his heart. After thinking for a while, he said: "Are you and Wanting friends?"
"That's right, Governor Meng is her..."
Zhang Yang has already noticed the relationship between them, but he doesn't dare to make random guesses to avoid embarrassment if he guesses wrong.
As for whether he is Meng Wanting's friend, he can only know by asking her.
It doesn't matter to me. Anyway, I always welcome beautiful women, so I can't give an accurate answer to this big leader.
"She is my daughter." After finishing speaking, Meng Chunpeng paused again, looking like he was hesitating to speak.
Zhang Yang had already thought about the relationship between the two, but was still a little surprised to hear him say it himself.
I never expected that this hard-working little reporter would have such an awesome father.
She should be regarded as a standard second-generation official. Such a good family background is what many people dream of.
But he had to do such a hard job, he was really blessed and he was born with a low life, Zhang Yang cursed with a wry smile in his heart.
Suddenly, he remembered Meng Chunpeng's silence and Meng Wanting's indifference to him when he was presenting the award just now. He knew that there must be some kind of misunderstanding between the father and daughter.
"Oh! She usually doesn't have many friends. If you can talk to her, tell her that I don't blame her for being angry with me, but I always have to go back to see her grandparents. They miss her very much."
When he said this, Meng Chunpeng's face was full of sadness and his voice was very low, which showed the helplessness and entanglement in his heart.
"You and Wanting..." Zhao Ping asked in surprise.
"It's been more than ten years and it's still the same."
Meng Chunpeng answered in frustration, with tears in his eyes. At this time, he was not as friendly and majestic as he was at the award ceremony, but more like an old man who had gone through many vicissitudes of life.
"Alas, this child has had a stubborn temper since he was a child, and he has been angry with his father for so many years." Zhao Ping sighed and said helplessly.
"You can tell me what happened, but I may not be able to help you."
Zhang Yang also told the truth that he was not familiar with Meng Wanting, and even said that she should be extremely disgusted with him.
Even if they are a little more familiar, can they be as familiar as their father and daughter? How can they solve the conflicts that their father and daughter cannot resolve?
The reason why he asked this was because he wanted to hear this little girl's story. At the same time, he also felt that although the big leader in front of him was awesome, he was just a helpless father at this time.
"Let me tell you, in fact, Brother Meng cannot be entirely blamed for this matter."
Zhao Ping seemed to be afraid that Meng Chunpeng in front of him would be more sad, so he stood up and explained: "Sometimes men cannot be as indecisive as women. Wanting's mother got an incurable disease more than ten years ago, and Brother Meng gave up treating her.
This caused Wanting to hate him so much that she refused to recognize him as her father."
What he said was very brief and his purpose was very clear. He didn't want to rub salt into Meng Chunpeng's wounds.
Who wants to hear about his sad past? The more detailed it is, the more painful it will be. What’s more, his daughter’s hatred for him has already made him miserable.
"Even if the disease is incurable, we should not give up treatment."
Zhang Yang was also very dissatisfied with this matter and continued: "You must know that a child of about ten years old is the most attached to his mother. If you give up so irresponsibly, for her, it is undoubtedly the same as killing her mother with your own hands.
There’s no difference.”
"I know, after so many years, I have always understood that I am sorry for Wanting, and even more sorry for her dead mother."
Meng Chunpeng's shoulders trembled slightly and he turned his head to look out the window to prevent others from seeing the tears rolling in his eyes.
"Zhang Yang, you are still young and don't understand many things."
Uncle Ping was a soldier, and he continued without hesitation like ordinary people: "Wanting's mother has uremia. With the medical conditions at the time, it was impossible to treat it. One more day of treatment would cost a lot of treatment.
Do you think everyone is rich?"
After a pause, he was afraid that Zhang Yang still didn't understand, so he continued: "He is now the governor of the province, but he was just a junior clerk at the time. How could he have so much money? Moreover, Wanting's mother took the initiative to give up the treatment."
"That's still a life. Even if we spend all our money to save it for one more day, it is happiness for the family."
Zhang Yang could not agree with Uncle Ping's words and continued dissatisfied: "He is Wanting's mother and this man's wife. Isn't this less important than money?"
Of course he also knew about uremia. Not to mention the medical conditions ten years ago, even now, the early stage can only suppress the development of the disease but cannot cure it.
If it is an advanced stage, the time from diagnosis to death will not exceed two months, and the cost of treatment is of course very staggering.
But none of these are reasons to give up treatment. The children in the orphanage were abandoned because of various illnesses. Don't their parents have any responsibility?
It is undeniable that because I am an orphan who has been given up for treatment, I will be even more angry when I hear such things.
"Life cannot be measured by money, but you must always consider your living family."
Uncle Ping could feel his anger and dissatisfaction, but he was not angry and continued: "Wanting has been in poor health since she was a child, and her grandparents are also old. As a man, he always has to consider the whole family instead of
Let the whole family suffer for the sake of one relative.” (To be continued)
