"Brother Xu, you are really amazing, the prince who has been operating in Xiahai City for so long, said that he was killed by you, and now your reputation in this river and lake is not inferior to us old people!" Jiang Hongtu said to Xu Taiping with a smile.

At this time, Jiang Hongtu's attitude towards Xu Taiping is completely different from his attitude towards Xu Taiping last time, after all, Xu Taiping last time was just the boss of Taiya Group, and he is a relatively famous big brother in the rivers and lakes, and now Xu Taiping is the flag bearer of the Blue Flag, this identity is not at the same level as last time, Jiang Hongtu has to treat Xu Taiping as an equal, not a junior like last time.

"How did the prince die, I don't know, I'm just a little lucky, thanks to the care of your seniors!" Xu Taiping said modestly.

"Hahaha, you are really cautious, no wonder you can come to this day!" Jiang Hongtu said with a smile.

"Boss Jiang, tonight, let's only drink and eat, don't talk about these things, talk too much!" Xu Taiping picked up the wine glass and said.

"Okay, it's up to you, don't talk about these things, come, drink!" Jiang Hongtu also picked up the wine glass, and both of them drank the wine in the glass.

After eating, the two chatted briefly for a while and then went back to their rooms.

Jiang Hongtu's residence is much better than Xu Taiping's, it is the presidential suite.

Xu Taiping was not jealous, because he knew that it was better to keep a low profile now.

Thursday just passed.

This time, even if Xu Taiping wanted to drag it, he was embarrassed to drag it out, so Xu Taiping got up early in the morning, then went out to buy two cigarettes, took two bottles of good wine, took a taxi and went in the direction where the old man lived.

Half an hour later, the taxi carrying Xu Taiping stopped at the door of the old man's house.

Xu Taiping paid for the car, then got out of the car and walked to the door, just about to knock on the door, Xu Taiping hesitated again.

What should I call him?

Xu Taiping felt that he was very entangled, calling the old ancestor? That is not good, although they are really the old ancestors, but after all, they have played together, and they always feel that they have suffered a loss by calling the old ancestors.

If Xu Taiping and Mrs. Zhao call him brother and brother, then Xu Taiping and his son have to call Xu Taiping? This generation is completely chaotic all of a sudden.

Otherwise, there was no problem with calling the old man before, but if it is called like this now, it will be a bit disrespectful to the elders!

Xu Taiping was very entangled, and at this moment, the door in front of Xu Taiping was pushed open from the inside.

The old man with a birdcage in his hand was standing behind the door and was about to go out, but he saw Xu Taiping standing outside the door.

"Boy, why are you here?!" the old man asked as he looked at Xu Taiping in surprise.

"Haven't you been to the capital recently, so I'm here to see you... You...," Xu Taiping said.

"I'm just going out to walk the birds, it's really time for you to come, let's go, go out with me to walk our starling, this guy is like!" said the old man with a smile.

"What is your name, starling?" asked Xu Taiping.

"Call the dog. The old man said.

"Dog... Good name. Xu Taiping hurriedly praised.

"What are you holding in your hand?" the old man looked at Xu Taiping's hand and asked.

"Isn't this just over the New Year, and I didn't come to see your old man during the New Year, so I'll come here to give you a good old age, and by the way, I wish you a happy old age. Xu Taiping hurriedly said.

"You're so late in your old age, summer is coming. The old man said, pointing his hand into the door, and said, "Put things in and come with me!"

"Okay!" Xu Taiping nodded, quickly put the things in his hand into the courtyard, and then walked out with the old man.

The old man was holding a birdcage in one hand, whistling in his mouth, shaking it as he walked, and he could see that he was in a good mood.

Xu Taiping followed by his side, a little unsure of how to make a stubble.

At this moment, the starling in the old man's cage suddenly screamed.

This voice is called a reverberation, it is called a ups and downs, and the person who listens to the passer-by is called a red-faced and red-eared person.

"Shut up!" the old man quickly barked at the dog in the cage.

The dog seemed to understand human nature and resolutely closed his mouth.

"You starling, your kung fu is really strong. Xu Taiping said with a smile.

"He studied a few things blindly, and I lived next door to a newlywed couple, and I must have learned from them. The old man said.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes!" Xu Taiping nodded.

The two of them walked like this, and after a while, they came to a nearby park.

The old man hung the cage on a branch beside it, and then moved his hands and feet beside the tree.

Although they are all old arms and legs, the old man's muscles and bones are really quite good, and several stretching movements are not necessarily done by young people, but the old man still does them very easily.

Xu Taiping stood aside, looking at the old man and the starling in the birdcage.

At that moment, the starling screamed again.

"Ah, old man, you are so fierce!"

"Grandpa, I still want it, you are too powerful. ”

When the people around heard this, they all looked at the old man.

The old man looked at the starling in the birdcage with a dark face and said, "Say it again, I'll stew you tonight." ”

Starling resolutely shut his mouth again.

"This is really a divine bird. Xu Taiping couldn't help but admire.

"From small to big, I have been exposed to too many things, and I have learned too much. The old man said.

"Like my second egg, my second egg is also human, he is a dog. Xu Taiping said.

The old man didn't talk, but continued to stretch there.

After the stretching was over, the old man played a set of very simple and unpretentious Tai Chi in front of Xu Taiping.

There is nothing outstanding about this Tai Chi, just like most ordinary people play Tai Chi.

Xu Taiping sat on the side, thinking about how to tell the old man about going back to Zhao's house, when the old man suddenly said, "If you persuade me to go home, then I won't be spared." ”

Xu Taiping was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, "I heard that everyone wants you to go back." ”

The old man walked to Xu Taiping's side, picked up his clothes and wiped the sweat from his head.

Although it was a very ordinary set of tai chi, it seemed to consume a lot of the old man's physical strength.

Because of his advanced age, the skin on the old man's body has saggy, and there are still a lot of age spots on it.

Xu Taiping didn't specifically understand the man in front of him, but, in view of the Zhao family's current influence in this world, this man must have been a heroic figure back then, and such a character, now, has become an old man full of age spots, loose skin, and sweating after playing a set of Tai Chi, which makes Xu Taiping have a sense of embarrassment that he is no longer in his prime.

No matter how you reigned in the world back then, when you were old, you were just a little old man who walked around a bird and drank water soaked in wolfberries.

"I don't want to go back. The old man shook his head, looked at the sky, and said, "When I go back, I will always remember some of the past, so it's better not to think about it." ”

Xu Taiping was silent, he was only thirty-one years old now, so it was difficult for him to have that kind of empathy for the old man's state of mind at this time.

However, he still felt lonely from the old man.

Just imagine, one day in the future, when he is also old, Xia Jinxuan, Song Jialing, Su Nianci, Guan He... These people have passed away one after another, so if he is still alive, he should be very lonely when he thinks about it, not to mention that there is a possibility that his children are still walking in front of him.

Thinking of this, Xu Taiping seemed to be able to somewhat understand the old man's mood at this time.

"Birth, old age, sickness and death are said to be natural laws, but how many people can really see through it. The old man sighed.

"It's actually very good that you're like this, I think that no matter how many people around you are gone, at least you are still in this world, I think they can continue to look at the world through your eyes, which is a very beautiful thing. Xu Taiping said.

"If that's the case, it would be great. The old man smiled, then looked at Xu Taiping and said, "In the future, you still call me old man, let's pay our own friends, to be honest, my impression of your father is very weak, because your father is my grandchildren, I remember that your father was very rebellious when he was a child, and other than that, I don't have much impression." ”

"When did your old man know that I was related to you?" asked Xu Taiping.

"Call me old man. The old man said.

"Okay, old man, when did you know that I was related to you?" Xu Taiping asked with a smile.

"When did you know? It's early, I've known since the day you were born, and you have to understand that there are many things in this world that cannot be hidden from an old man who is more than a hundred years old. The old man said with a smile.

"So, many years ago, the first time you and I met, wasn't it accidental?" asked Xu Taiping.

"It was by chance. The old man smiled and said, "Although I have known you for a long time, but I didn't expect to see you one day, and I didn't expect that you would be so angry with the old man, to be honest, the reason why I don't want to go back now is because he doesn't always treat me as an old man, I am indeed old, one hundred and twenty or thirty years old, but I don't want him to treat me as an old man, I always feel that I am old and confused, you are different, although you call me an old man, but you treat me as a peer in your heart, which is very good." ”

"Actually, I also think you're old, just an old naughty boy, in fact, to be honest, tomorrow Zhao Dingbang, that is, my uncle's birthday, you really have to go back, lest people say that you are too old to remember, in order to let you go back, Lao Z also specially let me enter Beijing, which can be regarded as very dedicated. Xu Taiping said.

"Okay, you can go back with me tomorrow, but you can't tell them about this, let's go back by ourselves. The old man said.

"Cheng, then I'll pick you up tomorrow!" Xu Taiping said.

"Good!"
