Qin Guhe's dinner time is usually after the news broadcast at half past seven, and the content of the dinner is also very simple, often either fruits or green vegetables and other refreshing foods, in recent years, meat is rarely served during this time period. The older Qin Guhe gets, the lighter the taste, and the eldest son Qin Bonan, in order to fulfill his filial piety, picked up a distant widowed aunt from his hometown to be responsible for the old man's three meals a day.

Dining at the same time today, but there is a stunning woman who can't see her age at the small dining table. It seems that in order to visit Qin Guhe, the woman dressed in plain clothes also deliberately put on light makeup, and after the inky green silk was coiled high, she seemed to be casually and carefully inserted into a sandalwood hairpin, but she was diametrically opposed to the traditional oriental woman who was smoky and flattering, and her delicate makeup and calm temperament were natural, even if she slightly outlined her eyebrows and applied a little lip gloss, it did not look pretentious at all.

The aunt, who was also from Qinjia Village in the distance, looked at the visiting woman curiously when she was delivering the food to the table. She has always felt that the two daughters-in-law of the Qin family can be regarded as the phoenix among people, although Qin Xiaoxiao has not yet become a real woman with childishness, but it is enough to attract the attention of most men. But the woman in front of her was more eye-catching than all the daughters of the Qin family, even if she had been in the Qin family for more than ten years, she was considered well-informed, but she still couldn't help but sigh at the beauty of the woman in front of her. However, this old man, who has been working hard in the Qin family for more than ten years, naturally knows the rules, and after putting together the dishes, he took the initiative to close the door and withdraw from the villa.

Just now, Qin Guhe and the woman in plain clothes watched the news broadcast together, and discussed the situation in the South China Sea for a long time, if there are outsiders present, they will be amazed, a woman actually knows all about national affairs, but Qin Guhe was not surprised at all, but on the contrary, if this woman did not say something amazing, it was not her own expression.

"Come and come, patronize and talk, I forgot to greet you for dinner, so that Yanran you can see and smile. Your Uncle Qin is old, and he can only eat some healthy things such as fruits and vegetables, and it is very rude to let you eat these together!" The old man smiled heartily, and there were seven points of appreciation and two points of relief in his eyes when he looked at Xie Yanran, and there was another point of regret that was not easy to detect.

"Uncle Qin, where are you talking about, the vegetables and fruits you have here, it is estimated that people outside want to eat them, but they will never taste them in this life, I am lucky to have bumped into them today!" In fact, the vegetables and fruits specially made for two people on the table are special offerings from a certain channel in China, not to mention that ordinary people can't eat them, even the group of bigwigs sitting in the office of the provincial party committee may not be able to eat this thing every day. Xie Yanran smiled and looked at the old man in front of her, there were no outsiders in the villa, and she would not shout the hard "Minister Qin" in a bad way, Uncle Qin called her from childhood to adulthood, more than ten years earlier, if there was no such change, maybe she should also shout "father-in-law" to be more appropriate, but unfortunately she and the amorous Qin family Erlang seemed to be destined to pass by. Thinking of this, there was a faint depression between Dai's eyebrows, but her excellent professional instinct made her quickly hide this indescribable gloom.

Qin Guhe turned a blind eye to the fleeting gloom, and just smiled: "Then Yanran, don't be polite, just like in your own home, I remember that when I was in Beijing before, when I went to your old Xie's house for dinner, you only reached my knees, and now you have grown into the pillars of the country, it is not easy for Lao Xie to cultivate your daughters." It's not like that rebel in my family......"

"Master Qin, you have won the award, when I went back to Beijing a few days ago, my old man kept talking about you! Zhong Ying has his own ambitions, and it doesn't mean that if you stay abroad, you can't contribute to the rise of New China!" Xie Yanran tasted the vegetables and fruits on the table generously, and did not feel any restraint because of Qin Guhe's special status, and between her words, she still stood on the side of the lover from instinct.

Qin Guhe smiled, no longer talked about this topic, and then completely entertained an old acquaintance, occasionally talked about interesting things in the past, and then talked about hot topics in society, one old and one young, but it was also fun.

"Are you interested in accompanying me, a bad old man, to go for a walk in the yard, Lao Xie used to always talk about it, what 'take a walk after dinner and live to ninety-nine'. "Usually after dinner, this old man who is over seventy years old will walk around the antique community in the south of the Yangtze River, if there is no unnecessary entertainment, these health habits can not be shaken, and today it seems that he still does not want to destroy this habit.

Xie Yanran said with a smile: "I was trying to move, but I didn't expect to be so full by eating vegetables and fruits." ”

Qin Guhe, who slowly walked towards the main entrance of the villa, replied meaningfully as he walked: "Everything has a degree, as the so-called too much, but in this world, there are very few people who can support this degree!"

Xie Yanran smiled lightly, keeping up with the pace of the old man, and the smile on the exquisite makeup was impeccable: "How do you know if you don't try it, maybe you will step on the line, and it will be a new world!"

Qin Guhe was noncommittal, and just walked slowly to the door. Xie Yanran was half a body behind, and the back half of the old man could be observed, and now the old man, who was in the Chinese intelligence system at the time, was over seventy years old, and his silver hair was still neat and crisp, if it weren't for the increasingly loose skin on his neck and the increasingly clear old age spots on his face, he would look like he was in his early sixties.

But perhaps only this old man with his head held high knows how many hidden diseases have been worn out of this body by decades of special front career, putting aside the small problems of rheumatism and lumbar spine, just the bullet left in his brain that year has given him enough pain, and now he still occupies a place in Jiangnan and does not let go, in addition to the selfishness of supporting the Qin Family Building, most of the rest still want to dedicate the last bit of blood to the party and the country that he has been loyal to all his life.

The night breeze in late autumn is already faintly cold, but fortunately, there are many buildings in the ancient city, and walking on the ancient road in the south of the Yangtze River, Qin Guhe and Xie Yanran did not feel cold. Both remained silent, pacing slowly along the cobblestone path.

In the end, it was Qin Guhe who sighed: "Yanran, for you and Zhong Ying, I still have too much guilt after all!"

The plain hand holding Qin Guhe's arm trembled slightly, and Xie Yanran, who bit her lower lip, was still the strange woman who was on the intelligence front.
