The rest of the day was not a good time for the family. The rift has already arisen, even if they don't mention it on the surface, the prejudice in their hearts can't fade, especially the two families of the second uncle and the second uncle, who have almost never had any contact with the third family.

There are also some collateral of the Xiao family, who heard the wind from nowhere, and faintly kept a distance from Xiao Xiangrong's family.

Xiao Shu didn't care about this, without the disturbance of these relatives, he was still happy and quiet.

In the evening of this day, in the backyard of the Xiao family's villa, the old man Xiao Dongliang was sitting there making tea, and when Xiao Shu passed by, he was called by the old man to taste tea.

"Xiaoshu, how does it taste when you taste this tea?"

Xiao Shu took a sip of tea and nodded: "It's the same as when I was a child." The taste is bitter and astringent, and the aftertaste is endless. ”

"Huh. Xiao Dongliang chuckled twice and sighed softly, "Tasting tea is also tasting life, life is in the world, and it has been in a hurry for decades." Why don't you also have bitterness in it..."

"When I was young, I was as high-spirited as you, as if I was going to go to the moon for nine days, but when I got old, looking back, I was actually chasing my dreams at the same time. I've missed a lot of my life..."

When the old man Xiao Dongliang was young, he was erudite and talented, and he was a war hero, he developed a proud temperament, and he did not work hard with the light and dust, and worked hard to get along with others.

In the end, it's still a little bit of a bad connection.

"Grandpa, I remember, there is a couplet in the dream of Red Mansions, the world is insightful and knowledgeable, and the practice of human feelings is the article, you have to remember this..."

Old man Xiao Dongliang said leisurely.

Xiao Shu nodded and said, "Grandpa, I remember." ”

"That's good. Xiao Dongliang smiled, then glanced at the sunset on the horizon, sighed and said:

"Our Xiao family, in your father's generation. Your uncle Xiao Xianghui is sparse in his ambitions, and he is dedicated to pursuing heights and neglecting his family. The second uncle has loved money since he was a child, and he can mix well in the business field, but the pattern is too small and he will never be able to become a big tool. ”

"But your father, who is loyal and tenacious, was very similar to you when he was young, and I have high hopes for him... It's a pity, God is jealous of talents..."

Xiao Dongliang shook his head as he spoke: "Your uncle and second uncle actually don't know your father, I know best, he has a big pattern and big ambitions, and it is absolutely impossible to ruin his career because of this little profit." He didn't have to do that. ”

"My three sons, your father has the most calm personality, and the city government is also the deepest, even if he encounters something like that, he can do it without liking the form and not defending anything, which is really rare. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Dongliang took a deep look at Xiao Shu and said slowly: "You are very similar to your father, and you are a person who can achieve great things." What Grandpa wants to tell you is, don't be like your father, there are some things that you must never mess with. ”

Xiao Shu did not speak.

Of course, he understood what the old man was referring to. According to the road paved by the old man for Xiao Xiangrong. Coupled with Xiao Xiangrong's hard work and diligence, he can definitely be transferred to the Jiangcheng Municipal Party Committee now, and he can also be a deputy mayor at the worst. But all of this was buried because of that accident.

The implication of the old man's words was to exhort Xiao Shu to be down-to-earth, not to follow his father's example, to find an ethereal wife, thus offending the terrible existence of the Xie family in Kyoto.

But in fact, Xiao Shu did not agree very much.

Probably seeing Xiao Shu's thoughts, the old man showed an apologetic smile and said, "I'm sorry, it's grandpa, I'm talking too much." Grandpa just wants you to know that there are so many children in our Xiao family, and grandpa is not Xiao Yu the most, but you!"

To this day, the old man finally spit out what was in his heart.

After listening to this, Xiao Shu's face was heavy, he didn't expect that his grandfather had such high hopes for him.

He thought for a moment and said firmly:

"Grandpa, don't worry, I won't let you down. ”

"Good, good. Xiao Dongliang nodded with satisfaction.

After saying this, the old man suddenly coughed twice, and his spirit weakened a lot. He shook his head and said, "Alas, grandpa is still old, I don't know how many years he can last..."

"By the way, grandpa, I have a gift for you. ”

As he was talking, Xiao Shu took out a pill the size of a little thumb from his pocket and said, "Grandpa." This is Pei Yuan Dan, which consolidates the foundation of Pei Yuan and prolongs life. If you swallow it with tea, your body will get better and better. ”

"Haha, can there be such an amazing thing in the world?"

Xiao Dongliang only listened to it as a joke, but his eyes were full of trust when he looked at Xiao Shu.

He nodded. took Pei Yuandan, drank the tea and swallowed it.

...

On the outskirts of Echeng, there is a village called 'Xiaojia Village'.

There is the hometown of the Xiao family, and the old man Xiao Dongliang originally walked out of this village. Today, the entire village has been modernized. The construction is like a small town, and most of the young people work in the Xiao Group.

Therefore, the Xiao family's status in the village is irreplaceable, and the village chief and secretary over the years have been served by the Xiao family.

This year is the 80th birthday of Mr. Xiao Dongliang, and the old man did not choose the largest hotel in the city to hold it, but chose to hold it in his hometown. It's not yet your birthday. Xiaojia Village was gathered up and down, and many people came to visit.

On the day of the birthday, Xiaojia Village is full of lights, and the sound of firecrackers continues, just like the New Year, in the courtyard of Xiao's family. A table of wine has already been set up.

Mr. Xiao Dongliang, wearing a bright red longevity dress, sat on the main seat of the compound, chatting and laughing with the old people of his generation. The guests came one after another, first to pay homage to the old man, and then to find a place to sit down.

There is a lot of talk and laughter. There is no white ding.

"Second child, you're here. ”

At the gate of the Xiao family's compound, the eldest uncle and the second uncle happened to meet and talked to each other, talking as they walked.

As the old man's own son, both of them prepared generous gifts.

Uncle knows that the old man loves to drink tea. I bought a set of top-quality blue and white porcelain glazed tea sets from Jingdezhen in other places, which was still genuine in the Qianlong period, and the starting price was nearly eight figures.

The second uncle held a well-packaged calligraphy and painting in his hand, painting "Plum Crane with Longevity", from the Qing Dynasty calligraphy and painting masters, the meaning is to hope that the elderly will live a long and healthy life.

"Cousin. What kind of congratulatory gifts did your family have for grandpa?"

Seeing Xiao Shu sitting there drinking water, Xiao Xu leaned over with a sense of superiority and said, "Oh, let me show you, do you know what age this painting is and how much it is worth?"

Xiao Shu shook his head and said: "Gift-giving is about the heart, looking at the value, not the external price, if you hold this concept, grandpa will not be happy." ”

"Cut, you're sour. Xiao Xu sneered, "I really admire you." Isn't there no money, and you are so fresh and refined by what you say. It's all your own people here, and it's not like you don't know how many pounds and taels you have!"

Xiao Shu sighed softly.

The Pei Yuan Dan he gave to the old man, that is the real treasure that is hard to find, he alone in the whole world can refine it, even if someone gives hundreds of millions of billions. You can't buy that.

But he didn't bother to explain these to Xiao Xu.

"Forget it, we're not on the same level, there's no way to communicate. ”

"Okay, you, do you mean that you are of a high level?" Xiao Xu sneered all over his face, and he was sneering. "Then I'll watch, see how high your level is, how big your face, and whether you can invite Shen Shoufu. ”

As soon as he said this, several children next to him couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hehe, Xiao Shuzhen can brag. also said that Shen Shoufu wanted to invite him to dinner, but he didn't go. There was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy who laughed.

"Don't laugh, be careful when Shen Shoufu comes, and slap you in the face. Xiao Xu gloated.

At this time, the eldest uncle and the second uncle had already entered the inner hall, and after greeting the old man's birthday, they sat down beside the old man.

"What are those kids doing?" Noticing the situation in the outer hall, Uncle Xiao frowned at Xiang Hui and said unhappily, "Second brother, go and talk about Xiao Xu, let him come back, they are all a family, what is this like?

"Whoever made that kid love to talk big, let him say enough today. The second uncle sneered.

The second aunt also continued: "Yes, Xiaoshu's child is spoiled, and he can't get along with anyone. If he can really invite Shen Shoufu, I will obey him. ”

After speaking. I couldn't help but purse my lips and sneer.

"Children's jokes, why do you take them seriously?" the uncle frowned.

Although he also has a stomach for Xiao Shu, after all, this is a public place, so many outsiders are watching, isn't it a joke for his own children to have conflicts?

"Xiaoyu, go and talk about them. Let Xiao Xu come in and sit quickly, don't let people look down. ”

Xiao Xiangrong sat next to him, without saying a word, even he knew that Xiao Shu must be bragging, and Shen Shoufu would definitely not come for him.

"Hmm. ”

Xiao Yu nodded, and got up to persuade the group of children.

Suddenly, there was a shout from the door:

"Shen Ronghua is here!"
