Chapter Eighty-Five: Taking the Girl Home

  Of course, Ouyang Qian didn't want to get entangled in this official matter with him either. She wasn't very interested in such things from the bottom of her heart. On the contrary, what she was more worried about was another thing: "Does your parents know I'm going?" Liu Siyuan smiled and said: "Not yet, I haven't even notified them that I'm going back myself, let's give them a surprise."

  Ouyang Qian let out a soft "oh", with an appearance of being deep in thought, her expression becoming increasingly tense.

  Liu Siyuan's parents had already retired - or, more accurately, laid off and waiting to retire. When he brought Ouyang Qian along the familiar roads and arrived at his home around five o'clock in the afternoon, standing in front of his long-unseen family gate, he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions, something that every traveler away from home could deeply understand.

  When Wang Ruimei opened the door and saw her son for a moment, she was first astonished, and in an instant, her eyes were slightly moist.

  Wang Ruimei excitedly welcomed the two of them in, and Liu Siyuan saw that the old couple was originally about to have dinner. Looking at the simple home-cooked dishes on the table with no meat or fish, especially one or two pots which were leftovers from a few days ago, he felt extremely guilty in his heart.

  All these years, he has been busy with his own affairs in the provincial city and Beixi, and has not taken good care of his parents at home. The two old people have worked hard for a lifetime to raise him and his sister, and now is the time when they need their children to take care of them, but he has done very little about it.

  However, his sister is not as good as him. She has been busy with work for several years and hasn't returned home yet. Although she sent back a lot of money, her parents didn't touch a single cent and saved it all for her future dowry.

  Liu Siyuan felt guilty for half a day, and when he came to his senses, he found that neither of his parents had paid much attention to him. It was only then that he realized the two elderly people's attention had been completely drawn away by the beautiful girl Ouyang Qian, who was holding her hand and enthusiastically asking about her well-being. Ouyang Qian also behaved extremely obediently, with a very honest and innocent look on her face, answering all of the old man's questions, making Liu Siyuan once again feel that every woman is a born actress.

  "Wang Ruimei suddenly remembered and said: "Ah, you two haven't had dinner yet, have you? That little brat came back without even saying hello. The dishes at home are a bit too simple. Old Liu, hurry up and go buy some cooked dishes to bring back..."

  Ouyang Qian waved her hand repeatedly, smiling and saying: "Auntie, the dishes are already enough, no need for Uncle to go buy more, let's just eat like this." Liu Siyuan also hurriedly said it was not necessary, and his parents could only helplessly go along with them.

  At the banquet, Wang Ruomei asked again: "Xiao Qian, how did you and Siyuan get to know each other?"

  Ouyang Qianen said: "When Sihuan was the head of the Supervision Office of the Hanjiang Municipal Government, I was under him."

  Liu Siyuan also chimed in: "At that time, I was the only one under him..."

  Her parents were delighted, and Wang Ruomei smiled: "Then you should take more care of other people's little girls. By the way, you are now the party secretary in Beixi Town, and our relatives have been saying that we old Liu family have a promising son. Your father has also straightened his waist when he goes out."

  Father Liu Jinchai, who had been silent until now, couldn't help but say: "Old Wang, don't praise him, this kid gets arrogant as soon as he's praised, and I don't know how he managed to get mixed up in the town party committee. Remember to be down-to-earth and not be influenced by some of society's bad winds and evil airs. You're now a leader of the whole town, leading tens of thousands of people..."

  "I know," Liu Siyuan hastily interrupted him, otherwise he would go on and on if he continued talking like this.

  Wang Ruomei turned her head and asked Ou Yangqian about her family situation in a more subtle tone. Ou Yangqian replied with a clever expression: "Hmm, I'm still working at the municipal government. After Siyuan was transferred to Beixi, I was promoted to deputy director, which happened to take over his position. My parents? They're also working for the government. My dad is currently working at the Hanjiang Municipal Committee and might be transferred to the Provincial Committee next month, but he'll still be in Hanjiang City. My mom works at a district government under Hanjiang City."

  "Oh, so it turns out that your parents are both civil servants." Liu Jinchai thought to himself. On the other side, Ouyang Qian nodded very obediently, looking very cute, which made Wang Ruomei keep giving her food.

  After dinner, Ouyang Qian was about to bid farewell, Wang Ruomei hastily asked: "Where are you staying?" Ouyang Qian immediately said that she hadn't settled on a hotel yet and was just about to go out and find one to stay in. The former immediately said: "What hotel? Just stay at our place."

  Liu Siyuan was about to object, but unexpectedly Ouyang Qian had already agreed with a smile. Fortunately, there were three rooms in the house, and Ouyang Qian could live in the room vacated by Liu's sister.

  While Ouyang Qian was tidying up the room, the old couple suddenly called Liu Siyuan over and said, "This young lady has a very good family background and is also beautiful. Although she didn't say it out loud, I'm guessing her parents are not ordinary civil servants, but rather officials, right? Would their family agree?"

  Liu Siyuan first admired the old spicy ginger, and his father saw through Ouyang Qian's background at a glance. He laughed and said: "Dad and mom, don't worry, I and Ouyang Qian have not confirmed our relationship yet. If I really had a girlfriend, I would definitely bring her back to show you." In fact, he didn't dare to tell his parents that he actually had a real girlfriend in the provincial city.

  Wang Ruomei immediately became displeased and said, "The girl comes from a good family, is beautiful, and is honest and kind. What's not to like?" The old mother's description of Ouyang Qian as honest and kind made Liu Siyuan feel a chill, and in the end he could only bring out his trump card, saying that he was still young and wasn't in a hurry to get married. After talking for half a day, the two elders finally remembered to ask, "Why did you come back to Beishan County this time?"

  Liu Siyuan explained that he had come back to report on his work to Secretary Peng of the Beishan County Committee, and since Secretary Peng was an old acquaintance of Ouyang Qian's father, she had accompanied him to introduce them. He also took the opportunity to come back and see the two of you.

  Liu Jinchai couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and wonder, his son had really made it big, the county party secretary was an absolutely huge official in his eyes, now Liu Siyuan could actually converse with the county party secretary, what a great honor.

  Moreover, thinking of Ouyang Qian's father and Peng Secretary having a relationship, the two elders looked at her family background with even more admiration. This time, even Wang Ruomei was worried, Liu Siyuan kept persuading them to relax, his son would definitely bring back a beautiful and capable daughter-in-law.

  He dragged on for a while, and he really didn't want to talk about his girlfriend with them anymore, so he said I'll go see Ouyang Qian, who knows what she's doing alone in her room. Unexpectedly, Wang Ruomei hesitated and said: "Siyuan, we're a decent family, Ouyang Qian is also a well-behaved girl, don't mess around." Liu Siyuan nodded and agreed verbally, but his heart was crying with laughter, if he told the two elders that he had indeed messed around yesterday and even went to Ouyang Qian's back door, he really didn't know what they would think.

  Pushing open the door, Ouyang Qian was leaning her head to one side in a daze. Liu Siyuan chuckled and patted her on the shoulder, asking what she was thinking about. The latter replied in an odd tone: "I finally understand now why you're not affected by beautiful women."

  Liu Siyuan didn't react for a moment and asked her in a daze why she suddenly brought this up.

  All I saw was Ouyang Qian pouting, and following her gaze, it turned out that Zhang Jiejie's photo was placed on the desk.

  "After all that fuss, it turns out you have such a beautiful sister, she's just like a fairy!" Ou Yang Qian said with a slightly spoiled tone.

  Liu Siyuan smiled and said: "Sister Sijia is indeed beautiful, but I think you are also very beautiful."

  "I didn't expect Ou Yang Qian to shake her head and say, "There's no way to compare, your sister is not on the same level as me." Liu Si Yuan understood in his heart that it wasn't Ou Yang Qian being humble, his sister Liu Si Jia was indeed an S-class top beauty evaluated by the notebook, and in his over 20 years of life, he had only seen two people of this level, Liu Si Jia and Xiao Yu Han."

  This S-level beauty is simply a heaven-defying existence, even the beautiful Fang Xingyu has to take a back seat.

  At this time, Ouyang Qian suddenly said: "How come you and your sister don't look alike? If you have three-tenths of your sister's genes, it would be enough to make a handsome man."

  Liu Siyuan fell silent for a moment, actually he had been thinking about this problem for a long time...
