For the scene in this small courtyard, Zhu Ziqing has a lot of imagination.

For example, an old man with a hoe in a few rows of vegetable fields is leisurely plowing. For example, in the verdant vegetation, an old man sits quietly on a stone table and plays a game of himself. Another example is an old man's comfortable tea sipping.

When he walked into the courtyard, he found that although the real situation was different from what he imagined, it was not much different.

I saw that under a leafy weeping willow tree, the two sisters Lin Baoer and Mrs. Tao were chatting with an old man in good spirits. No one needs to introduce him, Zhu Ziqing knows that this old man is Lin Baoer's grandfather, Tao Yingshuang's father, and the head of the Tao family, Tao Anping.

"Dad, I'm back." Tao Yingshuang said in a serious tone that Zhu Ziqing had never seen before.

"Hmm." Old Man Tao ignored him, but looked Zhu Ziqing up and down.

At the same time, Zhu Ziqing was also looking at the old man. The temples are gray, but they are full of energy. Sit on a stool with your back still straight. Even if he is wearing civilian clothes, he can tell at a glance that this is a soldier.

He didn't dare to stare at the old man all the time, that would be too rude. Soon turned his gaze to the others. Old Lady Tao saw him looking over and nodded slightly.

Lin Beier glanced at Zhu Ziqing, and then looked back at Lin Baoer. It seems that I can't figure out how two people with such a big gap can come together. Lin Bao'er looked at him with a smile and a smile, without any nervousness.

However, these two sisters look too similar, especially when the two sit together, they are like two lotus flowers that make it impossible to tell who is who. Fortunately, Zhu Ziqing is too familiar with one of them, and he can tell which one is his girl just by looking at his eyes.

"You are Zhu Ziqing, Bao'er's boyfriend?" Just when he and Lin Bao'er were eyebrows, the old man suddenly asked.

Belch...... Zhu Ziqing was a little stunned. This old man Tao really deserves to be a soldier, and his question is straightforward enough.

"Yes, I am Zhu Ziqing. Hello Tao Lao, hello Grandma Tao. Zhu Ziqing greeted the two elders with a little restraint.

"Yes, sit down." Old Man Tao nodded and said.

Although I don't know what he said 'good', but looking at his attitude, his impression of himself should be good, which made Zhu Ziqing breathe a sigh of relief.

This table is not big or small, and it can seat exactly six people. There are already four people, and only Lin Bao'er and Lin Bei'er each have an empty seat next to them.

The old man spoke and gave up his seat. Tao Ying took steps ahead of time without a trace, and sat next to Lin Beier in advance beyond Zhu Ziqing's body. Then Zhu Ziqing only had the vacant seat next to Lin Baoer to sit on.

It's not that he can't sit directly next to Lin Bao'er, he has already admitted it openly, and it's nothing to sit together. But who knows what the old man thinks in his heart, there can't be any mistakes at this time, it's better to pay attention.

Who is not a person with eight faces, Tao Yingshuang's small movements are all in his eyes. The others were nothing, but Old Madam Tao looked at them with interest.

She knows her son too well, on the surface, she looks like she has no shape, but she is very arrogant in her heart, and ordinary people don't see him at all. I don't know why Dudu looks at this Zhu Ziqing differently.

That day, he took Zhu Ziqing to pick up the plane, and Mrs. Tao knew her son's opinion. Old Man Tao saw that Zhu Ziqing was also related to this matter so quickly. It's just that what she didn't expect was that her son took such good care of this teenager and even noticed such a small thing as the seat.

At this time, Zhu Ziqing had calmed down his nervousness. Tao Yingshuang came to the seat, smiled at Lin Bao'er, and sat down.

"At this time, it should have only been long since the essay contest started, so it was done so quickly?" Old Man Tao asked as if he were homely.

"It just so happened that today's question is what I'm good at, so I came out early." Zhu Ziqing replied with a smile.

The old man may not have been interested in this thing himself, and just asked casually. Zhu Ziqing also tried to be as brief as possible, so as not to annoy Rory by talking a lot.

"I've read some of your books, and they're well written."

"Thanks to Mu Mu and Xiao Nuomi, without them, I might not dare to write in my life. I don't have the person I am today. ”

At the mention of the two little guys, everyone in the room had a little more smile on their faces. The last bit of tension on the scene also completely dissipated.

"I know about this, when you were hospitalized, you told the two children "Shuke and Beta" when you were fine, and the two children were so amused that they didn't even want their mothers." Mrs. Tao smiled from ear to ear and answered. This is also the first time she has spoken since Zhu Ziqing came.

"Mu Mu and Xiao Nuomi are so cute, they went to accompany me in those days. Otherwise, I don't know how to spend my life in the hospital. ”

When he said this, Zhu Ziqing secretly glanced at Lin Bao'er very weakly. The little girl heard this, don't be angry. Seeing that her face was as usual, she breathed a sigh of relief and continued:

"I haven't spoken to them for so many days in Pearl City, so I miss them."

"I'm angry when I talk about that. I don't know what Lao Lin thinks, just such a son has to be sent to such a remote corner. I can't even see my grandson. ”

Perhaps it was the common topic that shortened the distance, and Mrs. Tao was obviously familiar with each other. actually said something complaining in front of him.

"Hide in the yard and whisper bad things about me, don't think I can't hear me." Before Zhu Ziqing could speak, he heard someone from afar.

No way? Zhu Ziqing sighed in his heart. Could it be......

"Lao Lin, come on, come on, and do some surprise attack. I'm not afraid of children's jokes. "Sure enough, whatever you're afraid of comes. The person who came was Lin Baoer's grandfather, Lin Kaishan, and the old man.

Except for the two old men, everyone else stood up. Zhu Ziqing also hurriedly got up, turned around and looked in the direction where the voice came from.

I saw Grandma Lin and a handsome old man walking over unhurriedly. You read that right, it's handsome.

The old man's hair was combed very carefully, without a trace of messiness. The hair is also jet black and shiny, I don't know if it's dyed or if it's like it itself. Only in those slightly sunken eye sockets, a pair of dark brown eyes, can see the traces of time. Needless to say, this is the head of the Lin family, Lin Kaishan, and the old man of Lin.

Unlike Tao Anping, Tao Anping is hard like a stone tablet. Lin Kaishan gives people a feeling like a spring breeze. It's just that Zhu Ziqing has no doubt that anyone will annoy him. The next moment he can turn into a storm.

Tao Yingshuang and the three of them greeted the two old men from afar, but Zhu Ziqing did not show too urgency. Just a smile on your face.

"You are Zhu Ziqing?" When he came closer, Lin Kaishan also looked Zhu Ziqing up and down for a while before asking.

"Yes, I am Zhu Ziqing. Grandpa Lin is good, Grandma Lin is good. I don't know why, Zhu Ziqing felt a faint pressure when facing Lin Kaishan. You must know that he didn't feel this way when facing Tao Anping.

"Well, that's good." After saying that, he ignored him and sat down directly on the chair.

"I said Lao Tao, Bao'er is my granddaughter, she grew up with me. You didn't even call me over for such a big deal. You're not authentic. ”

"Come on, come on, what so many words. Besides, it's my business to see me, and you can find him yourself if you want to see him. Come to me and be foolish. Tao Anping said angrily.

"Look at what you're saying, as if I don't nod my head and your opinion can make a difference." Lin Kaishan also said honestly and unceremoniously.

"Alright, alright, you two can stop for a while." Old Madam Tao interrupted the two impatiently, and then said to Zhu Ziqing: "Come, don't stand and sit all the time." ”

Zhu Ziqing didn't sit down directly, you must know that there are four people standing now, but there are only two seats left. Who stands and who sits?

His embarrassment did not last long, and Lin Baoer immediately relieved him. As soon as Mrs. Tao's words fell, she came directly to Lin Kaishan's back, pinched her pink fist and gently hammered it on the old man's shoulder. Lin Bei'er rolled her eyes, made an unbearable expression, and then stood behind Tao Anping and stretched out her hand to pinch the old man's shoulder.

Naturally, there was no need to be embarrassed now, Zhu Ziqing and Tao Yingshuang sat down on their seats respectively.

"What did you just say, I seem to have heard someone mention me."

"Praise you, the duke is selfless, sending his son to such a far place."

"Women don't have a long-term vision, which is called suffering in order to become a master. You don't understand. ”

"I don't know if you have a long-term vision, anyway, I know that your granddaughter is gone."

"Hmph, it's too early to say that. It's still a long time coming, and who knows what will happen in the future. ”

The old man said this politely, but Zhu Ziqing's heart blossomed. What does it mean, 'There is still a long time'? It shows that the old man did not directly deny him, which means that he has passed the first level.

The expression on Zhu Ziqing's face did not escape Lin Kaishan's fiery eyes, and he only heard him say to Zhu Ziqing seriously:

"Don't think it's so easy, lad. Now to put you to the test. Aren't you writing an article, writing an anti-corruption novel? When will it be written, and when will you come back to me. ”

Writing a novel? If it was another test, he might not be able to do it, but he was not afraid to write a novel at all. Who let him cross with a BUFF? He had read a few novels of this genre in his previous life. Those are all influential works, and I believe it should be no problem to move here.

"Okay, no problem." Zhu Ziqing replied simply.

"It's good to have faith." Lin Kaishan glanced at him, and then said to Tao Anping: "Old Tao, don't you assign a task or something?" ”

Hearing this, Lin Baoer wanted to speak out against it, the novel is not a playhouse. It's not like you can write it. Not to mention writing two at the same time. However, Zhu Ziqing gave her a look and signaled her not to speak.

"Alas, well. Now the hearts of young people are becoming more and more impetuous. When I arrived at the barracks, I couldn't settle down. Write a novel about military life. ”
