A surprise is a surprise, but Xu's father only stayed in the provincial capital for one night, and was scolded back by his old father.

As the top leader of a county, leaving his post is a crime and irresponsible to the party and the people. Although Dad Xu did not dare and could not leave his post without permission, sneaking back this time was also within the scope of normal leave. But in the eyes of his father, as an official, as long as you are still in office, then every minute and second does not only belong to you, but the people under your rule, the people. If you want to be free and want family affection, you can! Resign immediately and don't occupy an important leadership position.

Although Father Xu was scolded by his father, he was also happy in his heart. Because he saw that his father's body was tough, and his voice was loud when he scolded, he didn't look like an old man who was nearly eighty years old at all.

The son was scolded and ran away, but the old man was still very happy about the arrival of the old daughter-in-law and granddaughter.

Especially, when he knew that the child brought back by his little granddaughter was the author of the "Old Man of a Hundred Battles" seal, he was even more happy, and pulled him to sit beside him during the meal. Asked a lot of questions about calligraphy.

Tang Ning's impression of this old man was also excellent, and at the same time very profound.

He had heard Feifei say that her grandfather was a veteran, and had been the commander of the main combat unit for many years with a certain chief from the northeast, because of the work needs and the special environment at that time, the old man had to take off his beloved military uniform, and finally transferred to the local government in the division-level leadership position, and after the transfer, he has been serving as the main leader of the province and city, and since then, he has been working for decades.

The Xu family is in the provincial capital, and its status is comparable to that of the Qin family in the capital. In other words, the Qin family in the capital covers the whole country and is the world's most powerful power. As for the Xu family, they are local tycoons. One in a province, one in a country, the same behemoth.

In the next few days, Tang Ning met many people in the Xu family, and also learned about the family structure of their family.

Feifei's father is the youngest in the third ranking. She also has two uncles, one in politics. The other is engaged in business, but not in the mainland, but has already immigrated to Hong Kong. There is also a sister-in-law who works in the financial sector, and it is worth mentioning that her sister-in-law's in-law is very unusual, and it is the Yang family, known as the real estate king in the Northeast. At the same time, it is also another strong family in the provincial capital.

In addition to these people, there is another person who has a deep impression on Tang Ning, that is, Feifei's aunt, Tao Yan.

A beautiful and sexy big beauty. Because he grew up in the Xu family since he was a child, there is only a generation between him and Feifei, and the age difference is only four years. No wonder Feifei always said that her aunt always didn't let her call her aunt, but called her sister. After Tang Ning saw the real person, he also felt this way, calling him aunt, really calling people old, or sister.

In the past few days in Xu's house, some people have been enthusiastic about him, and some have a cold attitude towards him, but because Xu Mengfei's grandfather is very good to Tang Ning, he always pulls him to the study to ask questions about calligraphy, and also pulls many old friends to introduce Tang Ning to him, and these old friends of Grandpa Xu are extraordinary people who have retired from high positions, and their connections are still very strong. There are also several old artists of the Provincial Academy of Painting and Calligraphy.

These old people were deeply amazed by Tang Ning's attainments in calligraphy, seal carving, painting, and even the subset of Chinese studies, and he was only eighteen years old, but he had reached such a depth that he could definitely be called a young genius. A group of old ones and a small one, these days almost often get together for tea and talks. Of course, it's the way of art, the way of painting and the way of flags, or something, and they don't understand the way. Tang Ning understood, but he didn't dare to show his mouth, for fear of scaring these old people.

Some juniors of the Xu family didn't say anything about Tang Ning's favor and the other way of being treated by their elders, but it was obvious that they were jealous.

Xu Mengfei has been a little happy and a little depressed in the past few days. From the time she brought Tang Ning back, she expected that there would be some gossip at home, she didn't care, but she was afraid that Tang Ning would care. Because the current Downing is the weakest psychologically. I'm afraid that he will be sensitive, and I'm even more afraid that he will hear some bad things and think too much, which will cause deeper negative feelings.

Grandpa is good to Tang Ning, in the little girl's heart, it is more important than being good to her. Especially the grandfather also introduced some of his old friends to Tang Ning, the little girl was even happier, she knew in her heart that the energy represented by these old people behind them, they were good to Tang Ning, if Tang Ning needed it in the future, these old people would become a layer of help for him.

But Tang Ning always accompanies the old men every day and doesn't accompany her, which makes her feel a little awkward.

Today, I finally can drag Tang Ning to go shopping.

After eating at noon, Xu Mengfei dragged Tang Ning out of the Xu family's mansion.

On the cross-river cable car, the two sat side by side, and the head of the class Xu tilted his head, leaning on Tang Ning's shoulder, his eyes slightly closed, holding hands, and enjoying the feeling of the two being together.

Tang Ning leaned back in the chair, felt the smoothness and softness in his hands, and smelled the faint fragrance coming from beside him. This is a fragrance that belongs exclusively to Feifei. He knew that she never used any cosmetics, and the cold and plain Xu Daban had always been unkind to cosmetics, and even the pure French perfume that Esier gave her was accepted because of the other party's kindness, but she never used it.

According to Feifei himself, this kind of body fragrance was born when he was born, but it was very light and light. But in the past six months or so, this smell has become stronger and stronger, and it feels like she has inexplicably grown an extra sachet in her body, and it seems that there are a lot of flowers on her body, so she will produce such a strong floral fragrance.

The ancients said that if you are beautiful like a flower, you never thought that you also have this blessing!

Tang Ning thought of this and subconsciously smiled.

Before coming to Xu's house, he had already expected that there might be such and such things, because at this time he had no position, and he couldn't officially visit Feifei's boyfriend in a fair and open manner, because he was still a high school student, and Feifei was also a high school student, even if both of them went to college, they would not be so passive.

So Tang Ning made up his mind, closed his ears, didn't listen to what he shouldn't hear, and only watched what he should see. However, what he didn't expect was that Grandpa Xu looked at him differently, and there was a secret that even Feifei didn't know, that is, when Grandpa Xu introduced him to those old friends, the identity label he used was actually like this.

This is my grandson-in-law, Downing.

As soon as he thought of this, Tang Ning smiled a little bitterly. So I've been getting close to the old people these days. Formed a bunch of year-end friends. Especially the calligraphers of the calligraphy and painting academy, after communicating with them, Tang Ning really benefited a lot.

There are thousands of ways in the world, and their principles are the same.

Cultivation is not only self-cultivation, but also self-cultivation, self-cultivation, emotion, and nature.

Any attainment of the ultimate in learning can be called cultivation.

The simple discussion of the art of calligraphy and the artistic conception of painting all raised Tang Ning's state of mind to a higher level, which he had never imagined before. Now he has more than enough spiritual power, but his state of mind cultivation is not enough. But this time I was with the old people and listened to them reminisce about the past.

The war years of Jin Ge Iron Horse, the blood and fire of the beacons, listening to the oral accounts of these old people who have been coming over from those years, are more real and cruel than those made up in TV and movies, and at the same time, they have a greater impact on young people like Tang Ning.

Their grief, their tears, and their memories of their fallen comrades-in-arms are all notches that will never fade.

Those who are alive are worthy of respect, and those who are dead should be remembered.

However, too few people living in this profit-seeking society understand these most basic truths. Especially the younger generation.

In the past few days with the old people, Tang Ning seems to have accompanied them through the past years. It was very touching to the state of mind. As a result, it unexpectedly made the state of mind cultivation rise.

Tang Ning had a hunch that the initial tribulation of his five decays and three tribulations was coming, just in the past few days. Before that, he had to find a quiet place.

But it's not like being at home, just drill into the mountains and you can find a place where no one disturbs.

There are high-rise buildings everywhere, people everywhere, and it is not easy to find a place to be robbed.

"Feifei, is there a bigger park in the provincial capital?"

"Yes, there are quite a few, what do you want to do?" Class Leader Xu leaned on Tang Ning's shoulder, closed his eyes, and asked in a crisp voice.

Tang Ning had nothing to hide from Xu Da's squad leader. So let's be honest.

Xu Da raised his head suddenly, his eyes widened, and asked him worriedly: "Will it be dangerous?" ”

Tang Ning shook his head with a smile and said, "It's not dangerous, as long as it's quiet." In fact, this time should be lost, and it is best to find a place with a lot of ice. But I guess it's hard, so it's okay to have a bigger, quieter park. ”

"Where there is a lot of ice, there is a lot of ice on the river, but it definitely can't work, what about the park" Xu Daban thought for a while, suddenly his eyes lit up, and said: "There is a place that is a park, and there must be a lot of ice there." ”

Without waiting for Tang Ning to ask, Class Leader Xu explained to him a little excitedly, "Because the provincial capital at this time is preparing for the Ice and Snow World, there will be many, many ice sculptures there." Speaking of this, the excitement of the squad leader Xu suddenly faded, and then he said worriedly: "It's a pity that the construction there was overnight, because according to the time, it should be the final stage of the ice and snow world." It would be nice if it was already finished. ”

"Where? Far from here? ”

"It's not far, wait a while to get to the other side of the river, walk a few streets and you'll be there."

"Alright, let's go over and have a look."

"Hmm."

The ice and snow world in the provincial capital is not only famous throughout the country, but also famous overseas, and has long been the first choice for foreign tourists to the provincial capital. Moreover, the tourists who come to the provincial capital in this season are basically rushing to the ice and snow world.

Downing stood at the gate of the park and was shocked when he saw the scene inside.
