Chapter 502 After Tonight...
It was almost nine o'clock in the evening when Yu Zhiming and Qing Ning returned to their residence in Zijinyuan.
As soon as I entered the house, I heard my fourth sister chattering with my eldest sister on video.
"Sister, Lao Wu and Qing Ning are back!"
"Lao Wu, come here quickly, the eldest sister wants to tell you something."
When Yu Zhiming took the phone from his fourth sister, he saw his eldest sister leaning on the head of the bed on the screen.
"Are you tired, sis?"
Yu Zhaoxia on the screen smiled and said, "It's okay. Your second sister's family and your third sister's family just left not long ago."
"The kids are very energetic and noisy."
"Qingning, good evening!" Yu Chaoxia greeted Gu Qingning who was squeezed next to Yu Zhiming.
Yu Zhiming waited until his elder sister and Qing Ning finished greeting each other, then asked Qing Ning to go to the bathroom to wash up first. He said to the phone, "Elder sister, if it's too much trouble, can we change the dinner party to once every two weeks?"
"Or once a month?"
Yu Zhaoxia chuckled and said, "No, this is fine. My parents like it this way."
"Dinner parties don't tire me out. It's basically your second and third brother-in-laws who are busy."
Yu Zhiming knew that his second and third brother-in-law only cooked a few dishes.
The preparations before the dinner and the cleanup afterwards must have been done by my eldest sister alone.
"Sister, then you'll have to work hard for a while. After the Spring Festival, you and your parents will come with us to Binhai."
Yu Zhaoxia hummed, then asked, "Old Five, I heard that your meeting with Xiaobo's girlfriend's mother didn't go well?"
Yu Zhiming smiled and said, "It's okay."
"She's the woman, and she's in good shape. It's normal for her to make some demands and be a little reserved, isn't it?"
Yu Zhaoxia said angrily, "Old Five, I've already severely criticized that bastard Xiao Bo."
"Don't let him bother you again about finding a wife."
"If he's capable, he can just get the girl himself. If he's not, he can go home and find a girl from the countryside for a blind date."
"Anyway, I can't bother you anymore."
"It's already difficult for you to gain a foothold in Binhai on your own, so how can I let you worry about this and that?"
Yu Zhiming laughed and said, "Xiao Bo is my nephew. Isn't it my duty to worry about him?"
Yu Xiangwan interrupted, "Sister, come with us to Binhai after the Spring Festival, and you'll be able to take care of Xiaobo's affairs yourself."
Yu Zhaoxia sighed softly, "A son is no longer under his mother's control when he grows up. This brat is becoming increasingly difficult to discipline."
After complaining, Yu Zhaoxia said seriously, "Old Five, I have something important to tell you."
"This afternoon, the county head and city leaders suddenly came to our house. They said they wanted to visit the grassroots, listen to the people's concerns in person, and ask about their difficulties and problems."
"The leaders were very kind and asked about heating, water, electricity, community management, property management, and so on."
"I also talked to my parents about children's work and filial piety, and naturally the topic came up."
"Several leaders said, 'You came from here, you are the pride of the city and county, and we hope you will continue to work hard.'"
Yu Zhiming uttered an "oh" and heard his elder sister continue, "Several leaders stayed in our house for nearly an hour before leaving."
"After they left, your second brother-in-law said that these leaders were actually coming for you."
"He also said that the people leaders visit at the grassroots level are all arranged in advance and they will never visit any household randomly."
Yu Zhiming asked, "Did they send any gifts or anything like that? Or did they offer to get me medical treatment?"
Yu Zhaoxia shook her head and said, "They didn't send anything, nor did they mention asking you to see a doctor. It looked like a normal visit from a few leaders to ordinary residents."
Yu Xiangwan came over again and interjected, "Maybe they're playing the long game to catch the bigger fish. They're trying to get to know the guy first, and then make their request after they're familiar with him."
Yu Zhiming glanced at her with disdain and said, "I'm just a doctor. All I can do is treat patients."
"If the local officials came directly to me for help diagnosing an illness, I would most likely agree."
"They don't have to be roundabout."
Yu Xiangwan retorted, "Old Fifth, you're not just any doctor. You're a famous doctor. The Central Health Bureau has even asked you to perform physical examinations on leading officials across the country."
"Your connections may not even be matched by those leaders in the county or city."
"They may be befriending you now in the hope that they can use your connections one day in the future."
Yu Zhiming was slightly stunned.
He had to admit that Fourth Sister's analysis did make some sense.
Seeing the worried look on his elder sister's face on the phone screen, Yu Zhiming smiled and said, "Sister, there's nothing to worry about."
"Even if it's really as Fourth Sister said, it doesn't mean I should do anything illegal."
"Besides, we still have the initiative."
Yu Zhaoxia said slowly, "Old Five, you've grown up to this point, and we can no longer give you any advice or help."
"Whatever you do in the future, you must think more about it."
Yu Zhiming hummed, and then comforted her: "Sister, I am in Binhai now, and I am not struggling alone."
"The teachers were very kind to me, and the hospital's president, vice president, director of the medical department, and other leaders also protected me."
"Not to mention, Qing Ning and Qing Ning's family are also my strong support."
"Sister, you don't have to worry about me at all. There are many people here in Binhai helping me."
Yu Xiangwan leaned over again and said, "Sister, what Lao Wu just said was not a lie."
"Many people are counting on Lao Wu to find the cause of his illness. They will all protect him and not allow him to be bullied."
"Sister, the influence of famous doctors is extraordinary."
These words made Yu Chaoxia's worry disappear a lot.
Seeing this, Yu Zhiming changed the subject and asked, "Sister, has the engagement for that cousin from my second aunt's family been finalized?"
Yu Zhaoxia sighed softly, "They said it was dispersed!"
"The house, the car, and the betrothal gifts, I couldn't come up with so much money at once, so we didn't reach an agreement."
"Nowadays, when young people here get married, they negotiate conditions without considering their feelings at all."
Yu Zhaoxia lowered her voice and asked, "Old Five, are there any rules for getting engaged and married on Qingning's side?"
"I've read in the news that in the southern coastal areas, dowries worth millions or even tens of millions are given as gifts when a daughter is married off."
"The dowry is so generous, what is the bride price requirement?"
Yu Zhiming said with a hint of pride: "Big sister, your brother is so outstanding that we didn't have to pay for Qing Ning's marriage, and she even had to pay for it herself."
Yu Zhaoxia's face turned serious and she lectured him, "Old Five, don't take advantage of others like this."
"Although our conditions are limited and we are not as wealthy as the Qing Ning family, we must do our best."
"This is the minimum respect for Qing Ning and my in-laws."
Yu Zhiming quickly admitted his mistake and said, "Sister, I was just talking."
"I prioritize paying back the money I borrowed from them because I don't want them to think I'm taking advantage of their family..."
Yu Zhiming and his elder sister chatted for another ten or twenty minutes, and ended the call only after Qingning came out of the bathroom.
"Why does it take so long to wash up? Didn't we take a bath and sauna at the club this morning?"
Gu Qingning, who had changed into a set of cotton pajamas, looked at her with a charming look and said in a sweet voice, "Morning is morning, and evening is evening. Take a shower and smell good, then sleep comfortably."
"Go wash up quickly."
Looking at Qingning's delicate face like a lotus emerging from water, Yu Zhiming felt a dry mouth.
He found that once he turned off his mind, his self-control decreased exponentially.
He controlled his restless mind, quickly returned to the bedroom to get some dry pajamas, and went to the bathroom to wash up.
Yu Zhiming brushed his teeth and washed his face, then rinsed his body with hot water. He finished washing without washing his hair.
The whole process takes ten minutes.
He lowered his head and went straight back to the bedroom, and was surprised to find Qing Ning sitting on the edge of the bed with a shy look on her face.
"Qingning, what are you doing?" Yu Zhiming swallowed involuntarily.
Gu Qingning lowered her head and said in a low voice, "Women are very sensitive to men's gazes."
"I noticed that the way you looked at me had changed."
"Well, I just changed the washed sheets."
"I'm ready for this too..."
As he spoke, Gu Qingning took out a few boxes like a magic trick and placed them on the bedside.
Three unopened boxes, not even the same brand!
Yu Zhiming just grinned.
“When did you buy it?”
Gu Qingning hummed softly, "I bought it before, because I was afraid you would get impatient and lose control."
"I didn't expect you to have such good self-control, hehe."
Hearing her say this, Yu Zhiming didn't know whether to be proud or angry.
He glanced at the three boxes again.
"You've prepared too much, haven't you?"
"A lot?"
Gu Qingning stretched out her small hand and picked up a box, biting her lip. "This is the smallest box, containing six. You won't be unable to use them tonight, right?"
Yu Zhiming shot back viciously, "I'm just worried that you can't bear it."
Gu Qingning said nothing, but just gave a provocative look in return.
Yu Zhiming was furious.
This concerns men's dignity, what can be tolerated and what cannot be tolerated.
He stopped talking and prepared to prove it with actions.
He did it as soon as he thought of it. Yu Zhiming stretched out his hand and pushed the ignorant guy onto the bed.
The next moment, he was about to rush forward when the bedroom door was suddenly pushed open.
Along with it came the mobile phone ringtone of "The Laughing Jianghu".
"Lao Wu, you forgot your phone in the living room..."
Yu Xiangwan stopped talking halfway, especially when she saw the small box on the bedside.
"Oh, go on, go on."
"Old Five, I'll answer the phone for you. I promise no one will disturb you tonight."
As he spoke, Yu Xiangwan walked out of the bedroom with a smile and closed the door tightly.
This little unexpected interruption did not make Yu Zhiming give up.
After all, we have come this far. Stopping halfway would be a great disrespect to Qing Ning.
He looked at Qing Ning's rosy face and could feel her body trembling slightly.
Yu Zhiming knew that although this guy appeared to be very aggressive, he was still nervous inside.
He kissed her lips lightly and whispered, "Lime, after tonight, you will be my wife."
Gu Qingning closed her eyes shyly...
