Saturday.
Early in the morning, snowflakes fell from the sky. The first snowfall in Yan Tai County is much later than usual.
Dong Xuebing got out of bed and looked out of the window. The weather forecast is getting more and more unbelievable. It was supposed to be sunny, and it is snowing now. Luckily, the snow is not heavy, and it melts the moment it falls to the ground. Only the roofs and leaves are covered with a thin layer of snow. It is not a bad time to go sightseeing, and it is a good time to go sightseeing.
After getting dressed, Dong Xuebing walked out of his bedroom. "Oh, you are all awake?"
"Yes. I was about to wake you up." Yu Meixia, who was wearing an apron, is serving hot breakfast to Dong Xuebing. "Breakfast is ready."
Yu Qianqian changed into her new clothes and looked at Dong Xuebing. "Big Brother, can I wear this?"
"Haha … Sure. Why not?" Dong Xuebing replied. "Qianqian looks good in anything."
Yu Qianqian smiles shyly and looks happy.
After breakfast, Yu Meixia returned to her room to change her clothes. When she came out, she tied her hair up with a hairpin, and she is wearing a light colored jacket. She is wearing a white knitted sweater and a pair of black stockings. She is wearing a pair of black high heels and black stockings. This is the style of a mature woman.
Dong Xuebing was stunned. This is the first time he saw Yu Meixia dressed up like a woman. But why does she look so familiar? Dong Xuebing thought for a while and realized the model on the cover of the women's magazine on the coffee table is wearing something similar. No wonder Yu Meixia's taste is not this good. She must be copying the style of the magazine. But it's really not bad.
Dong Xuebing praised. "You look so good."
Yu Meixia blushed. "No." Dong Xuebing said.
"Why not? Ask Qianqian. Qianqian, is your mother pretty today? "
"Yes!" Yu Qianqian replied. "Mum, you are so pretty."
"… Nothing like that."
Yu Meixia was even more embarrassed. She had bought this outfit last month after she got her salary from the supermarket. The total cost was more than 1,000 RMB, and Yu Meixia had gritted her teeth to pay for it. At that time, she did not think this outfit was beautiful, and she still does not think so now. On the contrary, she felt uncomfortable wearing this outfit. The jacket was tight, and the black stockings on her feet were cold. Her high heels were also uncomfortable. She had not worn high heels for many years and could not get used to it. But Yu Meixia does not want to embarrass Dong Xuebing. They are going out to have fun today, and if she was dressed like a country bumpkin, Chief Dong will be disgraced.
"Are you cold?" Dong Xuebing looks at her feet.
Yu Meixia replied. "It's not cold. It's fine."
"There's a heater in the house. Whether you're cold or not will be hard to say when we get there." A small sweater, a small jacket, and a thin layer of stockings wrapped around the feet of her high heels. It would be strange if she wasn't cold. After all, it wasn't autumn.
"Then … should I put on the down jacket?"
"It doesn't match, does it? It's such a waste to wear a down jacket when you're so beautiful today. "
"Ok."
Dong Xuebing thought for a while. "Let's go. We will go to the mall to buy some clothes for you first."
Before Yu Meixia could reject, Dong Xuebing brought the mother and daughter to the estate's carpark and boarded a Mercedes MPV. After paying the parking fee, Dong Xuebing drove straight to Fen Zhou City. It's not far, and they will arrive in about 30 minutes on the highway. Dong Xuebing looks at his watch. The malls in the city should be open now. Dong Xuebing does not visit the city often and is not familiar with the city.
"Xiao Bing, it's fine. The clothes here are too expensive." Yu Meixia looks at the price tags.
Yu Qianqian was also stunned by the clothes on display. She held her mother's hand timidly and doesn't even dare to touch the clothes on display.
Dong Xuebing ignored Yu Meixia and went straight to the mink coat section. "What color do you like?"
Yu Meixia kept quiet.
"If you don't want to tell me, I will help you choose."
The saleswoman immediately walks over. "Sir, Madam, which piece of clothing do you like?"
Dong Xuebing looks around. "Oh, that pure white mink coat. Yes, that's it. Can we try it on?"
"Sure." The saleswoman immediately goes to get the sample.
Yu Meixia does not want to try on the clothes. When Dong Xuebing was talking to her earlier, she had sneaked a peek at the price tag. She was too far away and could not see the exact numbers. But she knew it should be more than five digits, and it should cost more than ten thousand RMB. It's more than her one or two years' salary in the supermarket. But Dong Xuebing gave her a stare, and Yu Meixia did not dare to say anything.
She tried on the clothes carefully, and a beautiful woman appeared in the mirror.
The saleswoman was envious of Yu Meixia. This woman is not young and has a bad temperament, but her face is too pretty. Even a young woman like her can't help but stare at her.
"Ok! This is it! "Dong Xuebing said.
Yu Meixia smiled. "Xiao Bing, I think it's better not. This piece is too …"
"Just listen to me. This piece suits you, and it looks like your grandmother's house."
Yu Qianqian was also nodding her head.
After paying, the three of them brought the clothes downstairs to the safari park. But on the way, Dong Xuebing noticed Yu Qianqian's expression. She was looking at her mother's mink coat enviously and kept glancing at other clothing stores. Dong Xuebing thought of something and brought them downstairs to another clothing section.
"Since we are here, Qianqian, you should choose some clothes too." Dong Xuebing said.
Yu Qianqian quickly waved her hand. "I … I don't want to. I have clothes."
Yu Meixia also rejected. "That's right. She still has lots of clothes. Furthermore, she has to wear the school uniform, and she can't wear it during normal times."
"Just choose what you want." Dong Xuebing patted Yu Qianqian's head. "Hurry up."
… …
One hour later.
Dong Xuebing, Yu Meixia, and Dong Xuebing brought their shopping bags into the Mercedes MPV and placed them on the front passenger seat. The bags are filled with women's clothing, such as pants, shoes, scarves, etc. Dong Xuebing had not only bought these items for Yu Qianqian. He had also bought a pair of high heels, a pair of leather shoes, and a few clothes for Yu Meixia. Dong Xuebing estimated that he had spent less than 100,000 RMB.
Yu Qianqian got excited and asked. "Mum, which one is better? This hat or that hat?"
Yu Meixia ignored her and replied. "Xiao Bing, sorry to let you spend so much money."
"Thank you, Big Brother." Yu Qianqian replied.
"Don't mention it. It's fine as long as you all are happy." Dong Xuebing laughed. "We are here to have fun, and we must act like we are here. Sit tight. I am going to drive."
Safari Park.
This is a new area, and there are not many tourists.
The tickets are 50 RMB each, and Dong Xuebing bought three tickets before entering with the mother and daughter.
Yu Qianqian is overjoyed and had never felt so happy in her life. When she was young, her village was poor, and her parents had never brought her out to play. After she entered the County's First Middle School, all her classmates had gone to amusement parks and zoos. Some rich parents had even brought their children to Beijing or Shanghai for a holiday. Only Yu Qianqian is special and does not fit in with her classmates. But now, her Big Brother had brought her to the Zoo and bought her lots of new clothes. Yu Qianqian is so happy that she almost cried.
Yu Meixia knew what Yu Qianqian is thinking and looked at Dong Xuebing with a gentle look.
"Why are you all looking at me?" Dong Xuebing looks at them suspiciously. "Let's go in."
Yu Meixia nodded and followed behind Dong Xuebing. Yu Qianqian blinked and called out to Dong Xuebing. "Big Brother." When Dong Xuebing turned around, Yu Qianqian also held his hand. Yu Qianqian is holding her Big Brother's hand on her left and her mother's hand on her right. Only Yu Meixia blushed when the rest of the tourists looked at them. She looks like she and Dong Xuebing had brought their child out to play.
In the park, the area near the entrance was a walking sightseeing area. Most of the animals were kept in cages, and people could buy food to feed them.
"Mum, is that a deer?"
"It should be. There is a sign over there."
"It's so cute. Can I take a picture with it? I also want to pet it. "
"Ok." Dong Xuebing took out his iPhone 4. "I will take a picture for you. Go and pose over there."
"Ok!" Yu Qianqian ran over happily.
After taking photos of Qianqian, Dong Xuebing bought some fruits for her and asked her to feed the deer. Although the deer should be able to eat the fruits, the staff will not allow Dong Xuebing to feed the deer. This is for safety and to make money. Yu Qianqian is overjoyed and walks over to feed the deer. After that, she patted the deer's back, and Yu Qianqian giggled.
"Sister Yu, let me take a picture for you." Dong Xuebing raised his phone.
Yu Meixia quickly uses her phone to block the camera. "I don't want to take a picture."
"What's there to be shy about? Hurry up. How can we not take a picture when we are out to play?" Dong Xuebing urged her.
Yu Meixia had no choice but to walk over with a stiff expression. Dong Xuebing asked her to smile, but she only smiles foolishly. Dong Xuebing was amused by Yu Meixia. Yu Qianqian had finished feeding the deer and ran over to look at the camera with her mother. Yu Meixia saw her daughter and calmed down, but she is still embarrassed. Click! The camera paused, and Dong Xuebing laughed as he looks at Yu Meixia's unnatural expression. It's quite funny.
The three of them strolled forward, joking and laughing along the way. The atmosphere was very good.
There are some pavilions and stone benches in front of them, and Dong Xuebing and Yu Meixia brought Yu Qianqian to a bench to rest.
"Oh, the three of us still have not taken a picture." Dong Xuebing laughed.
Yu Meixia does not like to take pictures. "… how are we going to take a picture?"
"Let me get someone to help." Dong Xuebing stood up and asked a young couple passing by. "Can you help us take a picture?"
The young man laughed. "Sure."
"Thank you."
"It's alright." The young man took the iPhone 4 and pointed it at the camera.
Dong Xuebing walked over and sat beside Yu Qianqian. Yu Meixia also moved her head closer to her daughter. The young man said to get ready and started counting down. "Three, two, one." Click! The picture paused, and Dong Xuebing took the phone from the young couple. He thanked the young couple again and returned to show the pictures to Sister Yu and the rest.
Suddenly, a voice rang out. "Chief Dong, you are in a good mood."
Dong Xuebing was surprised and turned to look. "Oh, Secretary Duan, you are here too?"
The person walking over is Yan Tai County's Commission for Discipline Inspection Secretary Duan Zhengan, who was arrested by Dong Xuebing not long ago. Beside him is a middle-aged woman in her forties and a young boy about nine or ten years old. The boy is holding the woman's hand and looking at Dong Xuebing curiously. Duan Zhengan replied. "This is my wife. It's my day off today, and she brought her son over to play."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Oh, it's Sister-in-law. Nice to meet you."
Cheng Tingting is unhappy with Dong Xuebing addressing her as Sister-in-law. Based on their ages, Dong Xuebing should be addressing her as Auntie. But they are both from the government, and Dong Xuebing is a government official.
"Nice to meet you too. I have heard so much about you." Cheng Tingting replied.
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Are you making fun of me? I don't have any fame. I'm just infamous."
Cheng Tingting frowned in her heart and did not show it on her face.
It's just a few words, but the atmosphere is not harmonious. The reason is simple. Dong Xuebing was brought to the Commission for Discipline Inspection by Duan Zhengan a few days ago. Although they did not find anything, Dong Xuebing's reputation was damaged. Dong Xuebing might be smiling on the surface, but he is actually unhappy in his heart. Even though he knows the culprit is Xiang Daofa, he still hates Duan Zhengan, who is on Xiang Daofa's side.
At the same time, Duan Zhengan also does not like Dong Xuebing, who is too flamboyant.
Cheng Tingting knows Dong Xuebing and her husband are not on the same side. That's why she replied to Dong Xuebing indifferently.
Normally, as long as there is no deep hatred between two leaders, they will greet each other politely when they meet outside. Even if they have conflicts with each other, they will still greet each other politely. Of course, to outsiders, Dong Xuebing and Duan Zhengan might look like they are good friends. But this is the hypocrisy of the government.
Yu Meixia and Yu Qianqian can't tell.
Duan Zhengan's son, Liangjing, walked over to Yu Qianqian and stared at the snacks in her hand. "Sister, what are you eating?"
Yu Qianqian smiled sweetly. "I am eating chips."
Liangjing replied. "I also want to eat."
Yu Qianqian is reluctant to give Liangjing snacks. Her family is poor, and she seldom eats snacks. Only Dong Xuebing buys snacks for her every time he visits her. But when she saw Liangjing looking at her, she took out a few chips and passed it to him. "Here, eat it. It smells good."
"Thank you, Sister!" Liangjing is overjoyed and took the chips.
Before Liangjing can put the chips into his mouth, Cheng Tingting shouted. "Who asked you to eat it?! Throw it away! "
Liangjing pouted. "Mum, I will only eat one piece."
"Not even half a piece. You cannot eat puffy food!" Cheng Tingting walked over and took the chips from Liangjing's hand and threw them into the bin. Duan Zhengan and Cheng Tingting had given birth at a later age and doted on Liangjing. He does not allow Liangjing to eat snacks because he is afraid Yu Qianqian did not wash her hands and might get a stomach ache if she eats snacks.
Yu Qianqian's eyes turned red when she saw Cheng Tingting throwing away the chips. She wanted to let Liangjing eat snacks out of goodwill and doesn't understand why his mother is like this. Dong Xuebing is furious.
Dong Xuebing is furious. Damn! Why are you trying to scare my Qianqian? Are you crazy?!
"Sister-in-law, are you serious?" Dong Xuebing looks at Cheng Tingting.
Cheng Tingting did not purposely give Dong Xuebing an angry look and explained. "Liangjing has a weak stomach, and we seldom let him eat puffy food."
After this incident, Dong Xuebing's impression of Duan Zhengan and Cheng Tingting got worse.
Duan Zhengan has a straight face, and his expression is the same no matter when he is at work or after work. He did not say anything, as he is also unhappy with Yu Qianqian giving Liangjing snacks. He is afraid the little girl's hands will be dirty, but he can't say anything because of his status. Cheng Tingting will be the one to explain this to him.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Ring … ring … ring … Duan Zhengan's phone rang.
Duan Zhengan answered. "Hello … yes … when … where is he …" After a while, Duan Zhengan frowned. "I know." He turned to his wife and son. "You all go ahead. I have something to do at home." As the County's Party Committee member and the Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, he is much busier than Dong Xuebing.
Cheng Tingting is used to it. "Go ahead. Drive slowly."
Liangjing looked at his father helplessly and didn't let go of his hand.
Dong Xuebing looked at Duan Zhengan and Cheng Tingting and snorted in his heart before leaving with Yu Meixia and Yu Qianqian. Duan Zhengan and his wife are trying to protect Dong Xuebing, but Dong Xuebing is also trying to protect Dong Xuebing.
"Qianqian, ignore them. Some people don't know what's good for them." Dong Xuebing said coldly.
Even though Yu Qianqian had walked far away, she still felt wronged. "… ok."
Yu Meixia looks at Dong Xuebing. "Is that your leader?"
"What leader? I was investigated by the Commission for Discipline Inspection a few days ago, and he is the one who gave the orders to accuse me of accepting bribes." Dong Xuebing gritted his teeth. "My reputation is ruined because of him!"
