Saturday.
In the morning, fine white snowflakes were flying in the sky. Yantai County The first snow came much later than in previous years.
Dong Xuebin got up from the bed and looked out the window, thinking that the weather forecast was becoming increasingly untrustworthy. Ming Ming reported that it was cloudy and sunny. Why is it snowing? Fortunately, it is not snowing. It's so big that it basically melts when it falls on the ground, but a fine layer of white floats on Rooftop and the leaves. Not only does it not affect travel, but it is a good time to play, and the scenery looks good.
After getting dressed, Dong Xuebin walked out of the bedroom, "Hey, are you all up?" The Power of Time and Wealth 295
"Well, I was just about to wake you up." Yu Meixia, who was wearing an apron, was bringing hot breakfast to the table, "The rice is ready."
Yu Qianqian put on new clothes and looked at him expectantly, "Brother, can I wear this clothes?"
"Haha, OK, what's not OK?" Dong Xuebin said, "Qian Qian looks good in anything she wears."
Yu Qianqian smiled shyly, looking very happy.
After breakfast, Yu Meixia also went back to the house and changed her clothes. When she came out, her hair was put up again and tied on the top of her head with hairpins. She was wearing a light-colored lady's coat, which was very thin. Inside was a knitted white máo, paired with a beige casual long ku, and her beautiful feet wrapped in black stockings were wearing a pair of black high-heeled shoes. It is the kind of mature woman's dress that is very popular nowadays.
Dong Xuebin was startled for a moment. This was the most feminine dress he had ever seen Yu Meixia in. But why did it look familiar? After thinking about it, Dong Xuebin suddenly realized that the cover model of the women's magazine that Coffee Table appeared on yesterday seemed to be wearing similar clothes. He said that Sister Yu's taste could not be that bad. It turned out that he was just following the magazine, but it was really good.
Dong Xuebin praised, "It's so beautiful."
Yu Meixia was a little embarrassed, his face heated up, "No."
"Why not? Ask Qian Qian to say, Qian Qian, is your mother beautiful today?"
"Beautiful!" Yu Qianqian pursed her lips and said, "Mom, you are so beautiful."
"... Nothing."
Yu Meixia couldn't stand it anymore. In fact, she bought this set of clothes from top to bottom after her salary was paid at the supermarket last month. The total cost was more than a thousand yuan. Yu Meixia had to be cruel for a long time before she paid the bill. She didn't think the clothes were beautiful at the time, and she doesn't think they are beautiful now. On the contrary, after putting them on, she was extremely awkward, and the little coat was tight. Damn, the black stockings on her feet were cold, and the high heels were uncomfortable. She had never worn high heels for so many years, and she couldn't get used to them for a while, but Yu Meixia didn't want to embarrass Dong Xuebin. She was going out to play today, and if she wore something tacky, Director Dong would probably not look good.
"Is it cold?" Dong Xuebin looked at her feet.
Yu Meixia said, "It's not cold, it doesn't matter."
"There is a heater in the room, but it doesn't matter if you're not cold when you get there." He was wearing a small máo jacket and a thin layer of stockings covering the soles of his high heels. It was strange that it wasn't cold, since it wasn't autumn.
"Then I... put on my down jacket?"
"It doesn't match well, does it? She is so beautiful today, it would be a pity to wear a down jacket."
"Oh."
Dong Xuebin thought about it, "Let's go, let's go, let's go to the mall to buy you some clothes first." The Power of Time and Wealth 295
Without waiting for Yu Meixia to refuse, Dong Xuebin took the mother and daughter out, walked into the community parking lot and got into Mercedes Business. After going out and paying the parking fee, Dong Xuebin drove straight to Fenzhou City The city is not too far away. It takes about thirty minutes to get there on the expressway. Looking at the watch, the shopping malls in the city are probably open for business. Dong Xuebin I don't come to the city often and I am not very familiar with this place, so I just found a shopping mall and went in. I walked to the place where women's clothing is sold.
"Xiao Bin, no need, the clothes here are too expensive." Yu Meixia looked at the price tags in confusion.
Yu Qianqian was also confused by the clothes that cost tens of thousands of dollars. He timidly held his mother's hand, not even daring to touch the clothes on display.
Regardless of Dong Xuebin, he went straight to the place selling Mink Coat, "What color do you like?"
Yu Meixia remained silent.
"If you don't tell me, will I give you a choice?"
The waiter came over immediately and asked, "Sir, Madam, which dress do you like?"
Dong Xuebin looked behind him and said, "Here, that pure white mink fur, yes, that's it. Can we try it?"
"Okay." The waitress immediately went to get the sample.
Yu Meixia didn't want to try it on, she really didn't. When Dong Xuebin was talking just now, she glanced at the price tag secretly. It was too far away and she couldn't see the specific number, but it must be five digits, which is tens of thousands of yuan or even The tens of thousands of yuan was more than what she would earn from working in a supermarket for one year or even two or three years. But when Dong Xuebin stared, Yu Meixia didn't dare to say anything, so she could only put it on the shelf and carefully try on the clothes.
Suddenly, a pretty Liang Liang woman appeared in the mirror.
The waitress was a little envious. This eldest lady looked young and had a bad temperament, but her face was so beautiful that even a girl like her couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
"Okay! That's it!" Dong Xuebin made the decision.
Yu Meixia smiled bitterly and said, "Xiao Bin, it's better to say goodbye, this one is too..."
"Just listen to me. This dress is perfect for you, so you can see it at grandma's house."
Yu Qianqian also kept nodding his little head.
After invoicing and settling the bill, the three of them took their clothes and prepared to go downstairs to Wildlife Park. However, on the way, Dong Xuebin noticed Yu Qianqian's expression. The little guy opened his big eyes and looked at the Mink Coat that her mother was already wearing with envy. She blinked and glanced at the surrounding shopping malls from time to time. Dong Xuebin's heart moved, so he went down a floor and took them to another clothing area.
"Come here, Qian Qian, you should also choose some clothes." Dong Xuebin said.
Yu Qianqian sighed and waved his hands hurriedly, "I, I don't want it, I have clothes."
Yu Meixia also refused. "Yes, she has a lot of clothes. Besides, she has school uniforms for school, which she can't wear normally."
"If I let you choose, just choose." Dong Xuebin moved Xiao Qian's head, "Go quickly."
... The Power of Time and Wealth 295
An hour later.
In Mercedes Business, Dong Xuebin, the three of them loaded up their bags into the car and placed them on the passenger seat, almost filling them up. It was full of women's clothes such as crotch shoes, scarves, etc. It was quite a harvest. The things here are not just for Xiao Qian. Just now Dong Xuebin was so happy that he took them for a nice tour, and also bought Yu Meixia a pair of high heels, a pair of leather shoes and a few clothes. After calculation, he spent less than 100,000 yuan.
Yu Qianqian was so excited that she danced and said, "Mom, is this hat more beautiful or that one?"
Yu Meixia ignored her and said helplessly, "Xiao Bin, I cost you money again."
"Thank you, brother." Xiao Qian said.
"You're welcome, what do you mean by spending money? Just make sure you're happy." Dong Xuebin smiled and said, "We're out to play today, so we have to look like we're having fun. Sit tight, I'm going to drive."
Wildlife Park.
This is a newly opened place and there are not too many tourists.
Tickets cost 50 each. Dong Xuebin bought three tickets and took the mother and daughter in.
Yu Qianqian is very happy today. It seems that she has never been so happy in her life. When she was a child, her village was poor and her parents never took her out to play. Then she went to school at County No. 1 Middle School. Which of the classmates here has never been to an amusement park and a zoo? Some wealthy parents even took their children to travel to Capital City Shanghai. Only Yu Qianqian was very special and incompatible with this class. But now, her brother not only took her to the zoo, but also bought her many new clothes. Yu Qianqian was so happy that she almost cried.
Xiao Qian Yu Meixia naturally knew what Qian was thinking. When she looked at Dong Xuebin, Sister Yu's eyes became gentler.
"What are you waiting for me to do?" Dong Xuebin looked at them suspiciously, "Let's go in."
Yu Meixia said yes, squeezed her daughter's hand and followed her. Yu Qianqian blinked and called "brother" behind Dong Xuebin. When he turned around, Yu Qianqian also reached out and took his hand, holding his brother on the left and mother on the right. Yu Qianqian was extremely satisfied. Yu Meixia couldn't stand the looks from other tourists, and her face turned red. It looked like she and Dong Xuebin were out playing with their children.
In the park, the area near the entrance is a pedestrian sightseeing area. Most of the animals are in cages, and you can spend money to buy feed and feed them with your own hands.
"Mom, is that a deer?"
"It should be, there's a sign over there."
"It's so cute. Can you take a photo with it? I also want to momo it."
"Okay." Dong Xuebin-moiphone4 said, "I'll take a photo with my phone for you. Go ahead and stand over and pose."
"Oh!" Xiao Qian ran over happily.
After taking pictures of Xiao Qian, Dong Xuebin paid for her to buy some feed, which was just some small fruits, and asked her to feed the deer. Although the deer should be able to eat the things she brought, the staff will not let you feed them. Firstly, it is for safety, and secondly, it is to make money. Yu Qianqian was so happy that she walked over to feed him excitedly and nervously. At the end, she even scaredly rubbed the deer's back. After that, Xiao Qian xi giggled with joy.
"Sister Yu, I'll take a picture of you too." Dong Xuebin said, holding up the phone.
Yu Meixia hurriedly blocked the camera lens of his mobile phone, "I won't take the photo anymore, it won't be photogenic."
"Why are you so embarrassed? Come on, why don't you take pictures when you go out to play?" Dong Xuebin encouraged her.
In desperation, Yu Meixia had no choice but to stand over with a stiff expression. Dong Xuebin made her smile, but Sister Yu just held the corner of her mouth and smiled silly. Dong Xuebin was amused by her. At this time, Yu Qianqian also ran over after feeding the fawn. He hugged his mother's hand and looked at the camera together. Yu Meixia saw his daughter coming, and his expression changed. It felt much more normal, but I was still very embarrassed. Click, the camera froze. Looking at Sister Yu's unnatural appearance in the photo, Dong Xuebin shook his head in a funny way, thinking it was interesting.
The three of them strolled forward, joking and laughing along the way, and the atmosphere was very good.
There were some pavilions and stone benches in front. When Xiao Qian was tired from playing, Dong Xuebin and Yu Meixia took her to sit on a bench to rest.
"By the way, the three of us haven't taken pictures yet." Dong Xuebin said with a smile.
Yu Meixia doesn't like taking pictures, "... how to take pictures?"
"Waiting for me to find someone to help." Dong Xuebin stood up and said to a young couple passing by, "Excuse me, can you help us take a photo?"
The young man smiled and said, "Okay."
"Thank you very much."
"It's okay." Taking the iPhone 4, the young man pointed it at the camera.
Dong Xuebin turned around and walked back and sat down next to Yu Qianqian. Yu Meixia on the other side also leaned his head towards his daughter. The young man said "get ready" and then counted down "three", "two" and "one" ", there was a click, and the picture was frozen there. Dong Xuebin stepped up and took the phone, took a look at it, said OK, thanked the two young lovers again, and then happily walked back and handed the photo to Sister Yu and them.
Suddenly, a voice rang from the side, "Director Dong is so excited."
Dong Xuebin was startled and looked sideways, "Hey, Secretary Duan, are you here too?"
The person walking over there was Duan Zhengan, secretary of the Yantai County Discipline Inspection Commission, who had just been investigated by the Discipline Inspection Commission of Dong Xuebin not long ago. Next to him was a middle-aged woman about forty years old and a little boy of nine or ten who was still in elementary school. The boy held the woman's hand and looked at Dong Xuebin curiously. Duan Zhengan said with a serious smile, "This is my lover. I have a day off today. I am bringing my children here to play."
Dong Xuebin smiled and said, "It's my sister-in-law. Hello, hello."
Cheng Tingting ting was not happy to call her sister-in-law. According to her age, the other party should call her aunt, but they were all members of the system, and Dong Xuebin was also a cadre, so sister-in-law couldn't find any reason to call her sister-in-law.
"How about you? I have admired Director Dong for a long time." Cheng Tingting said.
Dong Xuebin smiled and said, "You are treating me shabbily. I don't have a great reputation. I have almost a bad reputation."
Cheng Tingting frowned inwardly, but didn't show anything on his face.
In just a few words, the atmosphere is not very harmonious. The reason is very simple. Dong Xuebin was invited to the Discipline Inspection Commission by Duan Zheng'an a few days ago. Although nothing was found, it did some damage to Dong Xuebin's reputation. Don't look at Dong Xuebin seemed cheerful on the surface, but in fact he was very unhappy. Even though he knew that the culprit was Xiang Daofa, he also hated Duan Zheng'an, the executor of the "Pro-Xiang system".
Similarly, Duan Zheng'an has no good impression of Dong Xuebin, a master who behaves too openly.
Cheng Tingting is the husband's follower, knowing that Dong Xuebin and her husband are not from the same faction, so he just talks in a perfunctory manner.
Generally speaking, as long as there is no deep hatred between two leading cadres who know each other and they meet by chance outside, they will say a few words of courtesy. Even if there is a conflict between the two parties, there will be no exception. Conflict does not mean that they have to break up, which are completely different things. Of course, to outsiders, Dong Xuebin and Duan Zheng'an talk to each other with smiles, as if they are very familiar good friends. In fact, the hypocrisy of officialdom is reflected here.
Naturally, Yu Meixia and Yu Qianqian cannot be seen.
While they were talking there, Duan Zheng'an's son Jing Jing walked up to Yu Qianqian in two steps and looked at the snacks in her hand eagerly, "Sister, what are you eating?"
Yu Qianqian smiled sweetly and said, "Sister is eating potato chips."
Jing Jing said greedily, "I want to eat it too."
Yu Qianqian was a little reluctant. Her family had always been poor, and she rarely ate snacks. That is to say, Dong Xuebin would only buy them for her every time he came here. But seeing Jing Jing's eager eyes, Xiao Qian felt soft and took out a few potato chips and handed them to him, "Here, eat them, they are delicious."
"Thank you, sister Sister Xie!" Jing Jing was overjoyed and reached out to take it.
Unexpectedly, before Jing Jing could put it in his mouth, Cheng Tingting on the side shouted, "Who told you to eat it? Throw it away!"
Jing Jing pursed his lips, "Mom, I'll just take one piece."
"Not even half a slice, you can't eat puffed food!" Cheng Tingting walked over with a stern face, took the potato chips from his son's hand, and threw them into the trash can. Duan Zheng'an and Cheng Tingting gave birth to children relatively late in life, so they are very fond of Jing Jing. The reason why they do not let him eat snacks is firstly because of puffed food, and secondly because they are afraid that Yu Qianqian has not washed his hands and his hands are not clean, which will ruin his stomach after eating.
Yu Qianqian saw Cheng Tingting looking fierce and throwing away the potato chips. Her eye circles suddenly became red and tears almost fell out. She kindly wanted to give Jing Jing something to eat, but she didn't understand why his mother was like this.
Dong Xuebin is annoyed, paralyzed, why are you scaring our family Qian Qian when you have nothing to do? You are sick!
"Sister-in-law, isn't it?" Dong Xuebin looked at Cheng Tingting.
Cheng Tingting didn't mean to sneer at him. He explained, "Jing Jing has a bad stomach. We rarely let him eat puffed food since he was a child."
With this incident, Dong Xuebin's impression of Duan Zheng'an and Cheng Tingting became even worse.
Duan Zheng'an seems to be born with a straight face. Whether he is at work or after get off work, his expression is always the same. He said nothing on the side, but in fact, he also felt sorry for Yu Qianqian in his heart Jing Jing doesn't think much about snacks, as he is afraid that the little girl's hands will be dirty, but due to his status, Duan Zheng'an naturally can't say anything, nor can he be so direct. Cheng Tingting can best say this.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Ring ring ring, Duan Zheng'an's phone suddenly rang.
He picked up and listened, "Hey... um... um... when... where is he..." After saying a few words, Duan Zheng'an frowned, "I know." He turned to his wife and son and said, "You guys go play, I have something to do when I get back." As County Party Committee Standing Committee Member and Discipline Inspection Committee Secretary, he was much busier than Dong Xuebin.
Cheng Tingting is obviously used to it, "Go ahead and drive slower."
Jing Jing was a little reluctant and looked at his father dryly, holding his hand and not letting go.
As soon as he saw it, Dong Xuebin informed Duan Zheng'an and Cheng Tingting indifferently. He hummed in his heart and left with Yu Qianqian and Yu Meixia. Duan Zheng'an and his wife protected their shortcomings, so how could Dong Xuebin not protect their shortcomings?
"Qian Qian, ignore them, some people just don't know what to do." Dong Xuebin said with a cold face.
Even after walking a long way, Yu Qianqian still felt aggrieved, "... Yeah."
Yu Meixia looked at him, "Is that your leader?"
"What kind of leader? I was investigated by the Discipline Inspection Commission a few days ago. It was this person who gave the instructions. I must be accused of corruption and bribery." Dong Xuebin was filled with hatred. "My reputation has been ruined by others!"
