Chen Yuqing smiled and said, "Hey kid, why are you still standing? Come on, sit down. I drank too much yesterday and I'm not feeling well. I won't drink today. Please help your Uncle Song drink a little."
Ye Zhiqiu grinned and replied, "Okay, then I'll have a drink with Uncle Song!"
After sitting down, Ye Zhiqiu picked up the wine glass and said politely: "Uncle Song, it's our first meeting. Please take care of me in the future. I will toast you first. I also wish you all good health, good work, and academic progress!"
Ye Zhiqiu was not a pretentious person, so after he finished speaking, he tilted his head back and drank the wine.
This straightforward attitude actually made Song Weitao feel a little more favorable. He smiled and said a few polite words, then had a drink with him.
Ye Zhiqiu was no fool. Logically, he and Song Weitao were both guests. But now Chen Yuqing asked him, a guest, to drink with Song Weitao, a guest.
Why wasn't Song Weitao accompanying him? This already showed that Chen Yuqing regarded his identity as one of his own, so he was in a very good mood!
The food was quite good, at least Feng Xiaomei was enjoying it, keeping her head down. She wasn't very polite when eating, but rather wolfed it down.
But she has a small mouth, so no matter how fast she eats, she won’t look ugly!
After finishing a bottle of Wuliangye, Chen Yuqing wanted to open another bottle of wine, but Song Weitao waved his hand and refused, saying, "Sister-in-law, please don't open it. I have to go back and talk to the teacher about Xiaomei.
The application for skipping a grade has been approved. I need to ask the teacher to handle it. If I go, no one will give me face. If I can't delete this record, it will be very troublesome for Xiaomei.
"Then I won't open it. I'm sorry to bother you with Xiaomei's affairs, but this is the situation. I guess I'm being a little selfish..."
Feng Xiaomei looked up at Song Weitao in surprise. She didn't understand why her uncle was so angry and opposed when he first came, but now he seemed like a different person.
Ye Zhiqiu listened quietly. Although he didn't know what happened, he thought it was probably related to Feng Xiaomei. So he wanted to get some clues from their conversation.
Unfortunately, both of them were just being polite. One said it was troublesome, while the other said that it was his duty to treat Feng Xiaomei as his relative...
Anyway, in the end, the topic ended and he gained nothing!
After the meal, Ye Zhiqiu was full of doubts, but his plan to go out for a walk with Feng Xiaomei was interrupted.
Because Chen Yuqing was planning to take Feng Xiaomei and Song Weitao to visit Feng Yuanzheng's teacher, the date plan was canceled.
After dinner, the mother and daughter went to wash the dishes and fruits. Ye Zhiqiu stayed in the living room and drank tea with Song Weitao.
Song Weitao said with a complicated expression: "Xiao Ye, is it okay for me to call you that?"
Ye Zhiqiu felt a little puzzled, because this was not the first time he called himself that. He had just called himself Comrade Xiao Ye at the dinner table!
However, he did not complain, but smiled and nodded, saying: "Uncle Song, you are Xiaomei's uncle, and naturally my elder as well. Calling you Xiaoye is just right!"
Song Weitao sneered and said, "You're right, I'm obsessed. I want to ask you, do you know Xiaomei? I hope you're not just attracted by her looks, but are truly willing to protect her from the bottom of your heart..."
Song Weitao spoke for a long time. Ye Zhiqiu listened attentively, nodding occasionally in agreement, without interrupting him. Because his words were filled with concern for Feng Xiaomei.
He knew that he really coveted her beauty, but isn't this how so-called love begins?
Even for the most exemplary couples, who doesn't start with attraction, then get to know each other, and finally tolerate each other's strengths and weaknesses before they can stay together for a lifetime?
So Ye Zhiqiu said firmly: "I don't think I can't do what you said! I don't think it's shameful to covet Xiaomei's beauty.
I personally just covet her beauty and want to understand her soul. If I tell you that I don't covet her beauty, even if you believe me, I can't deceive myself!
I think she's not only beautiful, but also good in every way. As for her character flaws, I think I can tolerate them. I can try to understand the fear in her soul, and hopefully give her some strength to become a better version of herself!
I don't believe in love, but I am willing to believe in her, understand, respect, tolerate, and care about her past and present! I am also willing to put forward my own beliefs and embrace the future that belongs to us!
We are still young, and she still has several years of university study left. There is plenty of time for us to get to know each other, and when we finally trust each other, that is when we can start a family.”
Song Weitao was a little surprised. He didn't expect Ye Zhiqiu to say such a thing. Because in his eyes, he knew it from Chen Yuqing's mouth.
Ye Zhiqiu was only a junior high school graduate, and because of his average academic performance, he couldn't get into technical secondary school or high school, so he worked as a farmer in the countryside. Then, somehow, he got lucky and became a worker in the city.
To him, such a person was just an illiterate who could read and write. But at this moment, the person he looked down upon could say such words, which really shocked him.
At this time, the mother and daughter, who had washed the dishes and cut the apples, returned with the fruit plate. They immediately put away their expressions and tacitly stopped discussing this topic.
Chen Yuqing smiled and said to the two of them, "Today's apples are especially crisp, you can feel it all. Come and try them and see if they are sweet!"
Ye Zhiqiu looked at the apple, grinning and jokingly saying, "It looks very sweet. This must have been cut by Xiaomei. You are really good at cutting apples so unevenly! Comrade Xiaomei!"
Feng Xiaomei blushed and said unhappily, "The apple was too brittle, so everything cracked..."
"Okay, okay, it's all because of this apple. How can it be so crispy? Let me taste it for you to see if it's sweet."
"I can taste it myself. You taste your own, why do you have to do it for me..."
Watching the conversation between the two young people, Song Weitao and Chen Yuqing looked at each other in confusion. It seemed as if these two guys had forgotten that there were two elders sitting here...
Ye Zhiqiu was certainly not so foolish. He could make a joke, but he couldn't do it that way. After taking the fruit plate from Feng Xiaomei, he immediately handed it to Song Weitao.
After he took a piece, he handed it to Chen Yuqing, then to Feng Xiaomei, and finally he took a piece and started eating it.
The two people who were originally looking at each other in bewilderment suddenly felt that they had underestimated Ye Zhiqiu! This casual and subconscious behavior proved that his politeness was not an act.
