The so-called Yi Ren is on the water side 1
While Li Mingyuan helped Ye Zi's eldest cousin answer questions about the agreement, he also let Ye Zi's mother understand him at work in another way.
The purpose is to let Ye's mother indirectly understand that he is someone who has the ability to provide Ye Zi with a stable life and security.
You are not a college student in the ordinary sense. It is too early to decide on a relationship before you graduate and have a stable job.
At the same time, it was also to let Ye Mu discover some clues, so that he could peel off the cocoon and confess his relationship with Ye Zi.
With a sincere attitude, he begged Ye's mother to agree with him and Ye Zi. What he said was actually similar to what he said to Ye's father, but the emphasis was different.
Ye's father wanted to unite the front, and Ye's mother wanted to reassure her that she would leave Ye Zi to her.
The daughter of the Ye family is really not that easy to marry!
He had to put in some effort.
The oranges are almost picked.
Ye Zi is packing up tools.
He walked over and saw Li Mingyuan returning to the orange garden, and asked quickly,
"How's the agreement with my eldest cousin?"
"There is a problem, which has been solved." Li Mingyuan stared at her and replied.
"Oh, I'm just afraid that my eldest cousin will be cheated.
She finally got some money from her cousin-in-law.
If you are deceived again, you will lose everything." Ye Zi pursed his lips and replied, avoiding Li Mingyuan's hot gaze.
I don’t know why Li Mingyuan suddenly looked at her like this!
"No, your eldest cousin is not as stupid as you." Li Mingyuan said with a smile.
"How stupid am I!" Ye Zi suddenly stared in dissatisfaction and protested.
"You're so stupid that I like it very much!" After Li Mingyuan finished speaking, he kissed Ye Zi on the lips, then walked away to move the oranges with a smile.
Ye Zi suddenly looked around like a thief, making sure no one saw him, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
The next second, he turned his head and puffed out his cheeks and continued to stare at Li Mingyuan.
Then I heard Li Mingyuan say,
"You still say you're not stupid!"
Ye Zi became even more depressed.
Where is she stupid? Where is she stupid?
Li Mingyuan helped lift the oranges onto the tricycle.
Ye Zi packed her things.
Li Shi'er just finished answering the phone and came over.
"Have you finished picking them all?"
"It's done!" Ye Zi responded with a smile.
"It's so fast, I haven't even had the pleasure of picking it yet!" Li Shi'er said with some unfinished thoughts.
"You can come again next year." Li Mingyuan said directly.
"Yes!" Li Shi'er smiled and shrugged!
Ye Zi also laughed.
Now I really got addicted to picking it!
"Li Mingyuan, why did it take you so long to go back? You couldn't be taking the opportunity to be lazy, right?" Li Shi'er put her hands on her waist and questioned Li Mingyuan.
Li Mingyuan rolled his eyes at Li Shi'er, ignored her, and continued to move the oranges.
"Ah, ah, Ye Zi, have you seen Li Mingyuan staring at me?"
"When you see it, you glare at him too and come back with revenge!"
"I don't want it. It will turn into cross-eyes later. Besides, I'm not as naive as him!" Li Shi'er directly started to attack him personally.
Ye Zi couldn't help but laugh again.
"Shi'er, who are you calling naive?" Ye's father came over at this time and only heard the second half of the sentence, so he asked with a smile.
"Uncle, you heard wrong. I meant that Ming Yuan is not as naive as me." Li Shi'er explained with a smile. "He is smart and capable. He is a standard good young man of the era!"
"This child is indeed good, but it's a pity that his body looks a little weak!" Father Ye responded.
"Ah? Li Mingyuan is over 1.8 meters tall!" Li Shi'er said in astonishment.
"It has nothing to do with height. I think this child is too white and probably has rarely been exposed to the sun. This is not good.
You need to get some sunshine!" Father Ye replied with a smile.
"Li Mingyuan, did you hear that? My uncle said that you look like a pretty boy and you need to get more sun!" Li Shi'er shouted loudly.
Li Mingyuan raised his head and glanced at Li Shi'er, then turned to look at Father Ye and said,
"Uncle, don't worry. Next time you see me, I will be a sunny and healthy man."
"That's good, that's good, but don't be too dark. My Ye Zi doesn't like black faces either!"
"...Dad, what are you talking about!" Ye Zi's face suddenly turned red.
Li Shi'er laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her waist.
Just like that, Li Mingyuan smiled and carried the remaining baskets of oranges back.
Li Shi'er and Ye Zi carried spring scissors, a kettle and other things, and Ye's father carried a wooden ladder. The three of them followed behind and walked back.
"Shi'er, are you Mingyuan's sister or sister?!"
"Sister, uncle, actually I am at a disadvantage. I only left the house less than three minutes earlier than Mingyuan, and I have become his sister.
Others don’t know but they think I’m several years older than Ming Yuan!” Li Shi’er said angrily.
"No, you look more like Mingyuan's sister."
"Really? Really? Uncle!" Li Shi'er asked excitedly.
"Yes, you are more lively. Mingyuan is more mature, but you are younger!" Father Ye responded.
Li Shi'er was startled for a moment, then couldn't help laughing the next second.
Ye Zi quickly pulled Li Shi'er.
"Uncle, you are right, Mingyuan is too old." Li Shi'er responded seriously, holding back a smile.
Should we say that Li Mingyuan's acting skills are too good, or that Ye Zi's father's eyesight is too bad!
But yes!
The way Li Mingyuan is serious is indeed quite bluffing!
Otherwise, how can we gain a foothold in L&M?
There are basically no human beings who can work in L&M!
Either a beast or a superman.
So if Li Mingyuan didn't have any abilities of his own, just because he was the chairman's son, there would be no need to hang out with L&M.
"Boys should be more mature!" Father Ye nodded and responded.
Ye Zi lowered his head and did not dare to say a word.
She knew very well how naive Li Mingyuan was.
Sometimes he is worse than a three-year-old child when it comes to fooling around.
So when his father said that Li Mingyuan was mature, Li Shi'er burst out laughing.
Ye Zi became anxious and quickly touched Li Shi'er, fearing that she would dismantle Li Mingyuan.
As for Li Mingyuan, who carried the orange back first, he had no idea what happened next, but his ears kept feeling itchy, and he was wondering if Li Shi'er had said bad things about him again.
When Ye Zi and the others returned home, Li Mingyuan had already unloaded the oranges from the tricycle and put them away.
Mother was cooking and asked them to wash their hands and take a rest before eating later.
When Li Mingyuan passed by Ye Zi, he pulled her and said in a low voice,
"Our mother knows what happened to us!"
Ye Zi was stunned for a moment, like a person who had his acupoints tapped, he paused on the spot and looked at Li Mingyuan with a look of fear.
"It's okay, our mother has no clear objection!"
Ye Zi couldn't help but wailed in his heart. If he opposed it behind his back, the result would be the same!
Li Mingyuan is a guest now. No matter what happens, his mother will still give him some face.
But she is different. She is her mother's daughter, so she will be miserable. When the time comes, she will do whatever she wants!
"Don't worry, there is still me. I have clearly admitted it to our mother. What she means is that she needs to think about it. She is not against us."
"Then what did my mother say?"
"I have told my mother all the issues she is worried about. Except for the fact that you haven't graduated yet, everything else is not a problem.
Our mother is also a reasonable person and will help us!"
"Then what if my mother still objects after thinking about it?" Ye Zi was so anxious that he almost cried.
"No! Have some confidence in your husband, okay?" Li Mingyuan held Ye Zi's face and leaned his forehead against hers to comfort him.
"I mean what if?"
"There is no chance!" Li Mingyuan said with certainty, "But I didn't confess to our mother that we already live together. I just told my mother that I was still chasing you and waiting for your consent.
Don’t be a helper!”
"But if my mother asks, what will I say?"
"Except for the fact that we live together and that you have met my parents, you can say whatever you want!" Li Mingyuan responded.
"But I'm still nervous!
I might say the wrong thing when I’m nervous!”
"No, I have confidence in you!"
"But I don't have confidence in myself!"
"Then think about your poor husband, what you have put in these two days, you can't let your husband's efforts go to waste!"
Ye Zi looked at Li Mingyuan pitifully, and nodded after a while.
"time to eat!"
Li Shi'er came out and shouted with a smile.
Ye Zi came to his senses immediately, quickly pushed Li Mingyuan over, and walked toward Li Shi'er with a red face.
After entering the house, Ye Zi went directly into the kitchen to help her mother serve the dishes and get the dishes and chopsticks.
He kept his head down, not even having the courage to look at his mother.
And the more she behaves like this, the more guilty she appears to be.
"I haven't said anything yet, why are you nervous?" Mother Ye couldn't stand it anymore and said.
"Mom, I'm sorry!" Ye Zi said guiltily.
"The guests are still at home, don't be without a tutor!" Ye Mu handed her the last plate of food and said.
"Oh!" Ye Zi responded in a low voice.
He took the dishes and walked out.
"Shiyou, Mingyuan, eat more!" Ye Mu greeted during lunch.
"Auntie, we won't be polite!" Li Shi'er raised her head and responded with a smile.
"Auntie, please eat more!" Li Mingyuan responded, and at the same time gave Ye Zi a chopstick dish, "Don't just eat."
Ye Zi was startled, and looked up at his mother almost as if he was electrocuted.
"Mingyuan, these dishes are to your taste!"
"It's a good match. I'm used to Ye Zi's cooking. Ye Zi learned all his cooking skills from you, and your cooking is better than Ye Zi's."
"Just get along, I'm just afraid that this child Ye Zi will be clumsy and cause you trouble."
"No, Ye Zi is very good!"
Ye Zi lowered his head so much that he almost retracted under the table.
And Li Shi'er was also a little confused at the moment.
She knew that Ye Zi's father already knew about Ye Zi and Mingyuan.
Could it be that Ye Zi's mother also knew about it now?
Listening to what was said now, it seemed as if there was something in the words.
Li Shi'er turned to look at Li Mingyuan.
The next second I met Li Mingyuan's eyes, I realized that they were siblings after all, and they had a close connection. It only took one look to understand.
"Auntie, the food cooked by Ye Zi is really delicious.
We once asked Ye Zi from whom he learned such good cooking skills.
Ye Zi said I learned it from you since I was a child.
This time we have the opportunity to eat the food you cooked, and we know that Ye Zi is telling the truth.
The food you cook is really delicious!
You see, I've already eaten my second bowl.
If I can have a bowl at home, my mother will be very happy."
"Shi'er, you're too thin. You should eat more."
"Auntie, you don't know that for us dancers, keeping in shape is the most important thing.
But my aunt's food was so delicious that I couldn't help but eat one more bowl.
This bowl is about to be finished again!”
“The body is the most important thing.
You are still young, how can you limit your food intake?
Like Ye Zi, I always let her eat more.
But she just can’t gain weight, but when she comes back this semester, her face looks better!”
"I just envy Ye Zi, no matter how much he eats, he doesn't gain weight.
If I eat a little more, it's like giving me a boost, and I'll feel better all of a sudden."
"It doesn't matter if you're tall! Eat more!" Ye Mu said again. "Shi'er, aren't you studying anymore?"
"Auntie, I can't hide it from your eyes. In fact, I also want to read more.
However, I have not been interested in studying since I was a child. I like dancing.
Later, my mother saw that my grades were always failing, so she had no choice but to let me learn to dance!"
"It's okay, I will be the number one scholar!"
After having lunch and resting for a while, Li Mingyuan and Li Shi'er were ready to go back.
Of course, there are still key things to do before going back.
Li Shi'er stayed in Ye Zi's bedroom, pretending to pack her luggage.
In fact, she didn't have any luggage, just the clothes she changed into last night. Ye Zi took them to be washed, but they haven't been dried yet!
It can only be put in the bag first.
Ye's mother and Ye's father were in the bedroom, discussing,
"Do you know about the child and Mingyuan?" Ye's mother looked at Ye's father and asked.
"What's the matter?" Father Ye asked.
"Stop pretending to be confused with me! You already knew that, right?" Ye's mother glared at Ye's father.
"You're talking about Mingyuan and our Ye Zi. I really didn't know about it earlier. I just found out about it."
"What do you mean?" Ye Mu asked.
"The child is older and has her own ideas, so we can't restrict her everywhere.
Our Ye Zi is quite well-behaved.
We haven't had anything to worry about since we were little.
She got into college on her own merit.
Although it is a little early to start a relationship now, it is not too early.
Today's times are different from our past.
I heard that many primary schools can talk about it."
"That's nonsense. Does elementary school count?"
“There are a lot of middle schools, right?
I'm not in favor of talking in primary school, but what I mean is that our Ye Zi is already very obedient.
We've only started talking now, so it's not considered puppy love.
I think Mingyuan has a pretty good character and has a stable job. I can see that he is really good to our Ye Zi.
Now he has the courage to come to our house and ask for our consent. It seems he is serious.
It's better to give these young people a chance.
It is impossible for us to follow Ye Zi all our lives.
Some things still have to be decided by her," Father Ye said.
"I'm worried that our Ye Zi is simple, and Li Mingyuan is so eloquent, how can Ye Zi be his opponent!" Ye's mother sighed.
"When talking about relationships, you don't negotiate on the battlefield. It doesn't matter if you are not his opponent.
As long as our Ye Zi can control him at home, it will be fine.
I think there is nothing wrong with our Ye Zi, she can overcome strength with gentleness!" Father Ye said with a smile.
Mother Ye glanced at Father Ye and said dissatisfiedly,
"Whose side are you on?
Why do I feel that you are always speaking for outsiders?"
"Of course I am helping our Ye Zi!
I also hope she has a good home in the future.
How long do you think we can keep an eye on her?
The key is for her to find a good in-law and a good husband who will treat her well!" Father Ye advised.
"Then agree to let the two of them be together?"
"You have to let them try to talk. If Mingyuan is not suitable,
Our daughter will eliminate him directly, so why should we worry?"
"I'm afraid that our daughter will be in too deep by then.
Mingyuan changed his mind and eliminated our Ye Zi!
At that time, it will still be our family, Ye Zi, who will suffer the loss."
"Don't worry!
If this is the case, it is also Ye Zi's fate.
It's useless for us to object.
Ye Zi went to school later, and there was nothing we could do if the two of us were to be together.
Do they still know to come back and tell us now?
We might as well take this opportunity to ask Mingyuan to treat our Ye Zi well, it would be more practical!" Father Ye advised.
Mother Ye finally nodded, although she was a little helpless.
Ye Zi came and knocked on the door of his parents’ bedroom.
"Mom and Dad, Mingyuan and the others are going back!" Ye Zi said with some embarrassment.
Father Ye and Mother Ye came out.
The four of them were sitting in the living room, while Li Shi'er continued to pack her so-called luggage in Ye Zi's bedroom without going into troubled waters.
"Uncle, aunt,
I've bothered you these past two days!
Shi'er and I should also go back in the afternoon.
Thank you, uncle and aunt, for your warm hospitality these two days.
Shi'er and I had a very happy time!" Li Mingyuan said neither humble nor arrogant.
"Mingyuan, why are you so polite? Come play with Shi'er again when you have time." Father Ye said cheerfully.
"Okay, thank you, uncle!" Li Mingyuan responded.
He turned around and glanced at Ye Zi before continuing,
"Uncle, aunt, I am taking the liberty to bother you this time, but I am actually here because of Ye Zi.
I know that you and uncle love Ye Zi very much.
Ye Zi is your only daughter and the apple of your eye.
Everything you do is for Ye Zi’s good,
Ye Zi also respects you and listens to your words.
So this time, I sincerely hope that my uncle and aunt will agree to Ye Zi being with me.
Because only if you agree, can Ye Zi dare to be with me with confidence.
Uncle, aunt, I am twenty-two years old this year, and I do look a little younger for my age.
But because I have been working for many years, I am completely financially independent.
So compared to my peers, my mind seems a little more mature.
The material conditions I can provide to Ye Zi now are not the best, but I don’t think I will wrong Ye Zi.
In the future, I will continue to work hard to make Ye Zi live a better life.
I pursued Ye Zi with a serious attitude from the beginning, hoping to spend a lifetime with her.
Don't dare to have half a game mentality.
Now our age is indeed not yet the legal age for marriage in China.
As long as my uncle, aunt and Ye Zi agree, Ye Zi and I can register in Hong Kong first.
Of course, if my uncle and aunt think it is more appropriate to wait for Ye Zi to graduate, I will also respect their ideas and wait patiently for her to graduate.
I can only plead with my uncle and aunt, seeing that Ye Zi and I are in love and that we take each other seriously, to allow us to date first." Li Mingyuan said to Ye Zi's father and mother sincerely.
Father Ye turned to look at Mother Ye.
Ye Mu said nothing.
Ye Zi's eyes turned red and he called out softly,
"Dad, Mom——"
"Ye Zi, what do you think?" Ye's mother looked at her daughter and asked.
"I... like Mingyuan!" Ye Zi's voice could not be any lower.
"Then do you want to be with Mingyuan now, or is it better to wait until after graduation?" Ye's mother asked again.
"If my parents agree, I want to be with Mingyuan now." Ye Zi plucked up the courage to say.
"After all, it's a girl who doesn't stay in college!" Mother Ye sighed, then turned to look at her husband and asked, "What do you think?"
"Mingyuan, I have been with you for two days. I can't say that I know you very well, but I am somewhat familiar with you.
Your child is indeed very good and has good looks. There is really nothing to criticize about.
But you also know that we only have daughter Ye Zi.
We don't ask her to be outstanding and brilliant in the future.
As long as the person she finds can truly treat her well and live a good life with her, we really don't care too much about other conditions.
As for our family Ye Zi, she is not very good, but she was raised by our old couple through hard work.
We don't expect anything extravagantly, we just hope that she will live a good life in the future.
So uncle, let me tell you frankly now!
Uncle is still satisfied with you as a person, but you have worked so hard in the past two years to marry our Ye Zi!
It's not impossible for the two of you to spend more time together and get to know each other better, but you definitely can't do anything out of the ordinary.
As for whether you will continue to be together after graduation or separate,
Ye Zi's mother and I can't interfere, it just depends on your own luck and fate.
But we only have this daughter, Ye Zi, so I’ll be the first to make ugly remarks.
Chapter completed!
