Li Ming said: "Brother, we are family, so I will keep it short. I heard that Godfather is not in good health, and there is no one at home to take care of him. Brother, you are also a busy person in the Municipal Party Committee. You are rarely at home. How are you going to take care of your grandfather? So, I took the initiative to find a nanny for your family. This nanny is not an outsider. She is my cousin from the countryside. She is very hardworking, and most importantly, she is a good person. Today, I brought her over to introduce her to the family. From tomorrow onwards, she will come over to take care of your grandfather's daily life. She will also help with the housework … "
Li Rui was stunned when he heard this. This was like someone giving him a pillow when he was about to doze off. What else could be better than this? But wait. Li Ming had just met him. How did he know about his family's situation? Also, it was obvious that he sent her a nanny because she was the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. How could she accept it? Is this considered bribery?
Li Ming did not finish his sentence: "… This girl is in the car. You can meet her first. In the future, you just need to use her. You don't have to worry about anything else. If you are not satisfied, tell me. I will change the nanny for you. "
Li Rui naturally understood the meaning behind his words. What he meant by "don't worry about anything else" meant that he didn't have to worry about the nanny's salary and benefits. He would be responsible for everything. He was a little touched and was about to say a few polite words.
But Li Ming did not give him time to say anything. He turned and opened the back door. "Xiao Hong, come out and meet my brother. You must call him brother."
A pretty girl walked out of the car. She was about 18 or 19 years old, and she was about 1.6 meters tall. She looked pretty, and she was introverted. When she looked at Li Rui, she was very reserved. She called out "brother" timidly and lowered her head shyly.
Li Rui was very satisfied with her appearance. She was dressed very simply but neatly. He liked her very much, but he didn't dare to agree. He pulled Li Ming to the side and whispered, "Big brother, first of all, I want to thank you for your love. But then again, aren't you giving me a difficult problem? How can I, a Deputy Section Chief, have a nanny at home? If this matter is known to the Discipline Inspection and Investigation Bureau, I will be the first to be investigated. Even if we don't investigate, it won't be good if word gets out. " Li Ming said: "Brother, you worry too much. Your family's situation is special, and your job is also special. Hiring a nanny to take care of your father is a matter of course. Who would dare say no? Besides, don't tell others that we hired a nanny. Just say that she's a distant cousin who came over to help out. Who would be able to continue investigating this matter? Besides, who would dare to investigate you? Hehe, just accept it. Consider it a small token of appreciation from me to godfather. " Then, he said, "Brother, I still have a meal to attend. My brother-in-law is treating, so I won't stay any longer. I'll personally visit godfather another day. This time, don't blame me for my lack of etiquette, hehe. Alright, I'll be leaving first. Little Red will be here tomorrow. "
Before Li Rui could say anything, Li Ming had already gotten into the car with Little Red. After a soft honk, the off-road vehicle turned around and drove away.
Li Rui had mixed feelings. He looked in the direction of the off-road vehicle and didn't move for a long time.
After returning home, Li Rui felt that he should confess to Li Jianmin that he had become the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. Otherwise, there would be more and more things like Li Ming's in the future, and there would be more friends and guests at home. His father was so sensitive that he would figure it out sooner or later. It was better to tell him directly.
During dinner, Li Rui said these things in a flat tone. Li Jianmin was surprised and happy when he heard it. The father and son talked for more than two hours. Li Rui then mentioned that Little Red would be coming over tomorrow. Li Jianmin naturally refused again and again.
Li Rui knew that his father had high aspirations. He would never rely on others, especially outsiders, when it came to what he could do. However, he was already old and his health was not good. All kinds of circumstances were restricting him. He could no longer do everything by himself. He could only slowly persuade him.
In the end, Li Jianmin was persuaded. He sighed and said that he couldn't do it anymore and that he was a burden to his son. Li Rui felt even more sad when he heard this. If he didn't control himself, he would have burst into tears.
The next morning, Little Red came to the door at around 7 am. She was carrying vegetables and fruits. She looked like she had just returned from the market.
Li Rui and Li Jianmin hurriedly welcomed her in. One of them asked her to sit down and the other poured her a glass of water. She was flattered.
From that day on, Little Red became the Li family's nanny. She claimed to be Li Rui's distant cousin. She left early and returned late every day. She never stayed overnight. Li Jianmin said that he would give her money to buy groceries, but she never accepted it. She was almost like a real-life version of a hardworking lady.
Putting aside Little Red, Li Rui felt that it would be rude of him not to return the favor. Li Ming had done him and his father a huge favor. The problem was that his family had neither money nor gifts. What could he give Li Ming? Moreover, Li Ming was the second-in-command of the Southern District government. What could his family lack? Even if they lacked something, would they like what he gave them? It seemed that the only way to repay him was through the government. That was probably what he was after.
Li Rui silently remembered Li Ming's favor and planned to repay him in the future.
The evening that Little Red came to the Li family, Li Rui was picked up by Yang Peng to attend the so-called "13th Anniversary Junior High School Class Reunion".
In fact, Li Rui's class reunion was held almost every year. He attended the first few times, but as he got worse and worse, Liu Liping complained that he spent a lot of money on the reunion, so he was too lazy to go. Now that he thought about it, even if he saved the money to attend the reunion, he didn't really save it. Instead, Liu Liping spent it for no reason. He neglected his relationship with his old classmate. It was equivalent to suffering losses on both sides. He was a f * cking idiot.
Yang Peng smoked as he drove. His eyes scanned the street from time to time for scantily clad young women. He suddenly asked, "Why don't I see your wife?"
Yang Peng was one of Li Rui's best friends in his class. He started wearing glasses when he was in junior high school. Although he was small and thin, he had many brothers in his family. He was very powerful and could be considered an influential figure in school. His family was better than Li Rui's family, but not by much. He wasn't good at studying and didn't like to study. After graduating from junior high school, he entered society. After so many years in society, he didn't make a name for himself. He made a living by setting up a mahjong table in a hotel. Driving a second-hand Alto, he looked like a small boss in a hurry. Although he wasn't doing well, there was one good thing about him. He basically knew all the people in the city. This should be his biggest asset.
Li Rui said, "Divorced." Yang Peng laughed coldly and poked his head with his finger. He scolded, "F * ck! I f * cking told you a long time ago that you can't have a woman like her. You didn't believe me at that time. Now, you're f * cking divorced, aren't you? "Li Rui sighed and said," I regret not listening to you earlier. " Yang Peng's temper came and went quickly. He glared at the road ahead and said, "It's not too late now. Hehe, Ding Yijing is coming tonight. If she's still single, you can make a couple with her. "Li Rui smiled bitterly and said," How can that be? She's almost thirty. She's one year older than me. This year, she'll be thirty. How can she still be single? "Yang Peng blew his beard and glared at him. He scolded," Who the f * ck made the rule that a woman can't be single at thirty? F * ck your wife. Can't she be like you, who just got divorced? "
Li Rui smiled and didn't say anything. Yang Peng had always been like this. He was rude and unrestrained. However, it was still very different from the pure rudeness of others. Although he was full of vulgarities, it was very comfortable to listen to. One could hear a hint of intimacy in his words. This could be considered the art of speaking.
The two of them quickly arrived at the Spring Hotel where the party was held.
According to Yang Peng, there were more than thirty people at the party. Back then, there were more than sixty people in their class. However, at their age, everyone had a family and a job. Some had even gone to other provinces to work. It was already very difficult to gather more than thirty people. The party was held in the big ballroom of the four-star hotel. The expenses were the same as before, going Dutch.
The two of them took the elevator to the fourth floor. They walked through the elegantly decorated but slightly dark corridor to the ballroom. As they walked, Yang Peng suddenly felt a heavy pat on his shoulder. He cried out, "Oh f * ck …" He stopped and turned his head to look. He scolded, "Who is this? How dare you pat me? "
A young woman's laughter came from the side. "Yang Peng, Yang Peng. You're already in your thirties. Why is your mouth still full of shit?"
Li Rui found the voice familiar. It seemed to be Jia Yuanyuan's. He turned to look. It was indeed her. She seemed to have just walked out of the bathroom behind him. She was holding a tissue in her hand and wiping her hands.
He hadn't seen Jia Yuanyuan for a long time. Although both of them were in the city, he usually lived in a two-door circle. He rarely hung out outside. Therefore, he rarely saw these old classmates of his. Thinking back, it had been four or five years. Four or five years. How many four or five years could there be in a person's life? He looked at her intently.
