Chapter 5 Visits
The late autumn in the mountain town did not bring the slightest warmth, and the storms and rain for several days made the narrow old streets even more crowded. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info waited for a long time, and the taxi did not move a single minute, and Qi Zimo got out of the car with an umbrella. Fortunately, the pace of relocation has not yet set foot on this long-standing house. With his childhood memories, he easily found the Qi family's ancient mansion, pulled the iron ring and knocked, a slow footstep sounded from far and near, and the big iron door was split in two from the middle. An old woman with a kind face showed her head, unable to make out with her empty eyes, and felt that the young man in front of the door was a little raw, so she asked, "Which one are you looking for?"
Qi Zimo raised the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Grandma, I'm Zimo." ”
When the old lady heard this, she carefully distinguished, so she excitedly opened the door with a bang, and leaned forward to hold Qi Zimo's hand tightly. "Zimo! You've grown so big, and you're looking very good! You don't know, you've wanted to kill me for so many years! My good girl, let me take a good look, the old man often talks about you! You come to see him, he must be happy. ”
Qi Zimo put away the umbrella, shook the rain outside the door, closed the door casually and helped the grandmother through the stone corridor, opened the curtain and walked into the hall, the heating in the room greatly relieved the chill on his body.
Except for a few years of modern appliances, the whole hall has not changed much from the impression. Qi Zimo knew that the eldest grandfather was more conservative, and nodded his head clearly.
"Mo'er, have you come back from overseas?" the grandfather was helped to the hall.
"Well, it wasn't long since I came back. I'm going to Korea for a while next week, so I'm going to visit you before. Qi Zimo tightened the green military coat on his grandfather and helped the old man to sit down.
The eldest grandfather is the elder brother of the second master of Qi, many years ago the second master of Qi went to business and went south to the north to settle in the imperial capital, although Uncle Qi also fought with the army in various places, but after the war, the old man still returned to his hometown, this place where he was born and raised. In fact, Uncle Qi has not seen Qi Zimo many times, but the stubborn look that Xiao Zimo inadvertently appeared is very similar to his early death father, and Uncle Qi is very impressed. After that, there was a small incident that made Old Man Qi pay more attention to his unusual grandson.
The year Xiao Zimo graduated from elementary school, he came to the mountain city for the summer vacation. Xiao Zi Mo is incompatible with the Sichuan dialect of the children in the surrounding mountain towns, and the child Mo already looks like a living person, so naturally it is a common picture for the child to sit in the courtyard and read a book.
Xiao Zimo is very accustomed to this kind of life, and he has no complaints, and everyone is fine. The transformation came on a rainy day, and the toy plane of Qi Zihang, the eldest grandson of the old man Qi, could not be found, and he searched everywhere to no avail. A group of playmates came to ask Qi Zimo if he knew. Qi Zimo squinted at the large group of children in front of him, and then continued to read the book with disdain.
A little fat boy who was usually not used to seeing Qi Zimo's arrogant appearance stood up and pointed to Qi Zimo's nose and said, "He must have been secretly hiding, otherwise he wouldn't dare to speak." All the children felt reasonable, and their questioning eyes turned to the boy Mo, who was as steady as Mount Tai. Qi Zimo frowned slightly, and said indifferently: "I didn't." Then he turned the page. The fat boy who was ignored was very angry.
"You have, you can only be like this when you are a thief. The fat boy angrily rushed up and knocked down the book in Qi Zimo's hand.
"I said, I didn't!" Qi Zimo raised his head and looked at the fat child coldly, picked up the book on the ground, turned around and walked into the house, leaving only a fluttering sentence. The fat boy was a little frightened by Qi Zimo's eyes, and didn't dare to make any other moves.
When the old man Qi who came home in the evening heard about it, he was going to tell Qi Zihang not to pursue it again, and to buy another one in the future. But at this moment, Qi Zimo walked in with a puppy in his left hand and a toy plane covered with soil and meat scraps in his right hand. Both the man and the dog were soaked, their clothes were stained with a lot of yellow mud, and behind them were a string of muddy footprints of humans and dogs.
Qi Zimo saw that the eldest grandfather was back, he seemed a little unexpected, shouted "grandpa", put the model airplane on the table in the hall and walked into his cabin, and the eldest grandmother hurriedly followed the room and wiped the boy's hair with a towel.
"My little treasure, this cold day, what's the matter with the cold? The old woman quickly took out a change of clothes from the closet and pushed Qi Zimo into the bathroom.
"Soak haho, grandma will give you a whole bowl of ginger soup. She didn't forget to tell before going out.
In the hall, Qi Zihang picked up his toy, and suddenly remembered that he had smeared the plane with meat crumbs and buried it in the flower bed, wanting the puppy to find it, and forgot about it after being greedy for a while. Qi Zihang knew that he was in trouble, so he hurriedly told the elders about the matter. After the comrades-in-arms who happened to be guests at home learned the ins and outs, they asked the old man Qi if the boy who retrieved the plane was the son of Qi Jun? The old man Qi nodded yes, and the comrades-in-arms excitedly exclaimed: Sure enough, the tiger father has no dogs. Elder Qi, your grandson should not be underestimated in the future.
Old Man Qi waved his hand, "Haha! It remains to be seen. Drink tea, drink tea!" he took a sip from the teacup, and his eyes that were blocked by the teacup shone sharply.
Old Man Qi, who came back to his senses, looked seriously at his grandson standing in front of him. Dressed in a black suit from top to bottom, he set off his tall figure, his legs were tightly together, and he stood straight and did not bend over because of fatigue. The old man nodded with satisfaction, "Your eldest uncle and second uncle are both in the military region, so you can only talk more with me, an old man." He did a good job in the United States, and he did a good job of mastering and mastering his skills to control the country. ”
Qi Zimo didn't show an obvious expression of joy, and said modestly: "I will find time to visit the eldest uncle and the second uncle." I've learned a little bit of the skin, but I'm not proficient yet. ”
"Many domestic companies are doing well, what do you think?" Old Man Qi didn't ask, but asked about other things. In recent years, China's economic development has been rapid, and many large enterprises are also well-known in the world, which makes Mr. Qi, the old man who cares about the country, very excited.
"In response to market demand, many companies appear at just the right time, market positioning is also very accurate, development planning is in place, market growth space is not small, in general, promising. However, it needs the test of time and audience, and it has to withstand the good or bad effects of changes in the domestic business environment and policy restrictions. Large enterprises that have survived for a hundred years have experienced the tempering of the market, government, and time before they have their own things. With the soul, the possibility of the enterprise going on will be much greater. Haier, Lenovo, and Huawei are outstanding representatives, especially Huawei, 70% of the benefits come from overseas, even in Europe, where 4G is common, half of the communication is handled by Huawei. Qi Zimo patiently finished expressing his opinion.
"Which one do you like?" the old man asked after listening silently.
"I'm personally interested in the Ali team. It has opened up a new channel for the economy of the whole country, although it has a certain impact on the traditional economy, but the products of the times always have more advantages than disadvantages. It is remarkable that the payment tools have successfully intervened in the financial industry and changed the payment habits of the people together with penguins. Ali has cast a wide net in many investment fields in the past two years, so don't forget your original intention. ”
"Don't forget the original intention, good! Well said!" The old man tasted the taste.
"You have a master in the United States, a basketball coach? I heard that you have a very strange temper. ”
"The teacher is just a little strict, he was born in the military, so it's good to get used to it. I have been with my teacher for three years and have learned a lot. As a layman, Qi Zimo was able to figure out the tactics in a few years, thanks to the stern teaching of the old man of the spurs.
"A strict teacher produces a high apprentice. Isn't he going to be the next head coach of the United States? If you have the opportunity to take the national team to compete with him, let him know that the blue is better than the blue. Uncle Qi, who was in a good mood, was a little flustered, and Qi Zimo didn't answer the old man's jokes.
"I'm addicted to chess, accompany me for two. Listen to the second brother say that you are defending now?" "After playing chess with his grandson, Second Master Qi called his eldest brother and complained that playing chess with Qi Zimo is not interesting, only feint and defend, you will not kill him, and he will not attack you, it feels like the Buddha is playing with Sun Monkey in the palm of his hand. Qi Erye angrily got up and played the chess game, slammed the door and walked out.
"The big picture is good, and the mind is thoughtful. "Old Man Qi and Qi Zimo fought against each other for two rounds and then stopped playing.
"It's good or bad that you can reach this level at your age, but the advantages always outweigh the disadvantages, and remember not to be humble in playing chess with your elders in the future, especially those who are good at chess. A chess player knows the depth of his opponent's strength in a few rounds, and sometimes humility seems contemptuous. The old man patted Qi Zimo's shoulder and said earnestly.
Qi Zimo felt the old man's care, and replied earnestly with a warm heart: "I will keep it in mind!"
"Okay, let's talk about family matters. You also know Qi Zihang's situation, right?" the old man's face turned slightly ugly.
Qi Zihang is the child of his uncle's family, and after graduating from Beijing Foreign University, he should have entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a spokesperson, but he did not expect Qi Zihang to secretly hand over an application to his superiors to serve as ambassador and counselor without telling his family. When it was finally discovered, the appointment letter of the cultural counselor of the Chinese Embassy in South Korea had been placed on the desk of Mr. Qi's book, and the overall situation had been decided. After Qi Zihang was severely educated, the matter was over. And what really made Old Man Qi angry was that Qi Zihang suddenly called back a few months ago to inform his family that he was going to marry a Korean woman. The Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations clearly stipulates that a person holding a position of diplomatic immunity or above as a counsellor must be married to a person of the same nationality as himself.
Qi Zihang tactfully told his elders that he would give up his career as a diplomat if he had to do so. He also knows that marrying a foreign woman will not only affect him, but also bring some trouble to his family. After all, what is it like for a strong military family to marry a foreign woman to enter the door, so Qi Zihang did not dare to come back to meet his elders.
"I know, Chen's mother talked to me about it. Qi Zimo didn't know the specific details, so it was difficult to express his position.
"After you arrive in South Korea, persuade that kid not to delay his future for the sake of what he has not. By the way, look at the North Korean girl, if it was for some unserious women to make so many troubles, I would send someone to South Korea to break his legs. Old Man Qi put his hands together and pestled the cane hard.
"Big brother, like grandpa, you are just a little stubborn, but your vision is still good, and you can't make any forks. Qi Zimo said this, which is also the heart of a lenient grandfather.
"That stinky boy, don't learn well. Hey, if you find out that kid is really lost in his mind and can't pull it back. You just let that kid bring the North Korean girl back for me to see, and if he can barely see it, help him get things done. I haven't been special in decades, old man, and this time I will put down this old face once in order to fulfill this bastard boy. The old man finally relented, no matter how strict the rules were, they still couldn't resist the family affection that blood dissolves in water.
"I'll do what you say!" Qi Zi agreed silently.
