Looking at the vast blue sea in the south, at the southern foot of Lianfeng Mountain in Beidaihe, among the pines and cypresses, a group of villas with red bricks and blue tiles can be faintly seen, which is not very conspicuous from the outside, but when climbing the path to the south peak, tourists will be stopped by armed police with loaded guns, which makes people faintly know the meaning of the mysterious villa group, which is the place where the central chief summer office is located - a branch of the Central Cadres Rest House.

The Beidaihe office system was formally formed in 1953, and the "Beidaihe Conference" was held here in 1958, after which the national steelmaking and people's communization movement was formed. Since then, Beidaihe has really been known and remembered by history.

For example, in 1983, the first "strike hard" policy was decided in Beidaihe, and the 85-year-old life of the great man before the Southern Tour was also spent in Beidaihe, which was the well-deserved "summer capital" of China at that time.

Tang Yi was standing in Building 96 of the villa group at this time, different from the simple and unpretentious outside, inside the villa, the red carpet was paved, the purple curtain was surrounded by walls, and the armed police soldiers with loaded guns at the door of the villa, a solemn atmosphere came to the face.

Unlike the villas of other ministries and commissions, which occasionally select handsome men and women from the local area as service personnel, the villa group adjacent to No. 96 belongs to the management of the Central Military Commission, and the villas are all soldiers from waiters to life secretaries, and when the heroic female orderly in a sky blue uniform brings fragrant tea to Tang Yi, Tang Yi has a strong sense of unreality.

Although he had seen big scenes, in this villa, Tang Yi still felt an indescribable sense of depression, which made him breathless, and it was not until he saw the eternal Ning Xiaomei that he had a trace of real feeling.

At this time, Tang Yi was on the second floor of the villa, looking at the blue sea and blue sky in the distance, and sighed softly.

The room is very elegant, the ancient sandalwood furniture, the style is dignified, Ning Xiaomei sits on the rattan chair, drinking tea quietly.

I just met Ning Xiaomei's grandfather in Building 98, Mrs. Ning, who was the vice chairman of the Military Commission at the time, the old man was very interested, and chatted with Tang Yi for half an hour, talking about work and the country, his voice was powerful and majestic, Tang Yi only had to sit and listen. It wasn't until the life secretary on one side reminded him that the meeting time was up to intercept the topic, and finally smiled and said: "Xiaoyi, treat my little sister well, she is a good child, but her surname is cold, don't let her be wronged" Only at that moment did he behave like a loving grandfather.

Tang Yi couldn't help but glance at Ning Xiaomei again, Ning Xiaomei was wearing a snow-white skirt with a low skirt, covering the small and delicate white leather shoes, occasionally moving lightly, and she could catch a glimpse of the little white socks that were slightly rolled up, and there was a smart temptation.

Ning Xiaomei got up suddenly, her skirt fluttered, revealing a trace of white and delicate calves, although it was a glimpse, but Tang Yi still couldn't help but admire, speaking of the crystal clear skin, Ning Xiaomei really has the capital beyond the reach of women in the world, perhaps, this is also related to her life experience, the way of health preservation has always been a mysterious knowledge.

Ning Xiaomei walked slowly to the window, staring at the blue sea and blue sky in the distance, her beautiful face was shining in the setting sun, just like Athena's holiness, faintly showing a trace of sacrosanct luster.

It's close, Tang Yi has to admit that those celebrities who are spokespersons for skin care products can really die, and when they see Ning Xiaomei, I'm afraid they will be ashamed to buy a piece of tofu and die.

"The weather is pretty good today, what kind of food will you eat at night?" Ning Xiaomei has always spoken without logic, Tang Yi has long been accustomed to it, and said casually: "I'm casual, just eat a piece of cake to pad my stomach, where can I eat with your grandfather?" ”

"Let's just eat dinner."

Tang Yi was stunned, and said that he had a dinner party, and he and Ning Xiaomei had two times? Thinking about it again, I came to Beidaihe this time, and I didn't see my grandfather's face, the second uncle was in Yanjing, and I only called and chatted with myself for a few words, thinking of this, I sighed, I was born in the family of the eunuch, the family relationship is really very weak, I and Ning Xiaomei are okay, what about the children of the founding leader? He didn't even see him for a few years before he died.

As for the so-called engagement ceremony between himself and Ning Xiaomei, now in the early nineties, engagement is not popular in the mainland, let alone two powerful people with fine traditional styles, it is impossible to hold any grand engagement ceremony like the rich in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Although I was a little mentally prepared, I still felt a little ridiculous.

"Whatever, I'll eat whatever you eat." Tang Yi decided to be easy-going, thinking about Ning Xiaomei, she was actually quite pitiful, she lacked love since she was a child, and she had to get engaged to someone she didn't like, even if she could really marry herself in the future, she was afraid that life would not be very happy.

"I like to drink porridge, white porridge."

Tang Yi was defeated again, seeing that Ning Xiaomei's serious expression was not playful, Tang Yi sighed helplessly, turned his head to look at the scenery, and decided not to pay attention to her anymore.

Ning Xiaomei went to the sofa at this time and dialed the outside line, and asked for a few side dishes, which were the dishes that Tang Yi entertained her that time, Tang Yi didn't expect that she still remembered it now.

Tang Yixin said that since we have dinner, I don't have to be polite to you, and only took out a gift in the evening to make the old man happy, walked a few steps, picked up his handbag on the sofa, took out two beautifully packaged gift boxes from it and handed them to Ning Xiaomei: "Happy, this is a gift." ”

Ning Xiaomei took it with a sigh of gratitude, but she didn't mean to open it.

Tang Yi smiled: "One is made by me, and the other is bought by Bao'er." ”

"Bao'er?" A trace of doubt flashed on Ning Xiaomei's beautiful face, and then she was relieved, probably remembering her "goddaughter".

Tang Yi's gift is a star necklace folded in colored paper, strung with colored ropes, which is very beautiful, in fact, Tang Yi is more attentive to another necklace, which is prepared for Qi Jie, Ning Xiaomei, a defective product that belongs to the experimental stage, but when he saw a trace of love flashed in Ning Xiaomei's clear eyes, Tang Yi felt a little guilty, and felt that he was really a failure, whether it was Qi Jie or the girl in front of him, he seemed to owe a lot to others, step by step, he was really a little despicable.

Is he really going to break up with Qi Jie? Tang Yi's conscience was questioning himself, and his brain was a little confused, but at this time, he saw Ning Xiaomei holding the strange face eggshell that Bao'er bought for her in a daze, as if she had been hit by something.

For the first time, I thought Ning Xiaomei was still quite cute.

Ning Xiaomei was stunned for a while, but she still put away the eggshell and said, "Thank you Bao'er for me." ”

After sitting for a while, Tang Yi was really bored, but there were really no entertainment facilities in this room, and there was no TV. Tang Yi couldn't help asking, "Hey, how many days have you been living here?" ”

Ning Xiaomei sipped the tea and said, "Three days." ”

"You can live there, just drink tea every day?"

Ning Xiaomei nodded, Tang Yi sighed, leaned back on the sofa and stopped talking.

After a while, Ning Xiaomei got up and dialed the outside line, but she asked someone to send a TV.

Tang Yi originally wanted to praise her a few words, but heard her say: "Calm mind will naturally not be irritable." Immediately, he held back the words that he wanted to praise her.

After a while, two female soldiers brought in a 21-inch color TV and adjusted the channel, and the villa complex was equipped with satellite dishes, and it was an unshielded kind, which could also be received by foreign media that were extremely unfriendly to China.

Tang Yi also leaned over to help them, and when they switched the channel, they accidentally jumped out of a few pictures surnamed Ai, which was the picture of Chengren TV abroad, the faces of the two beautiful female soldiers were red, Tang Yi was also quite embarrassed, but he heard Ning Xiaomei say: "What was that just now?" "Almost stunned Tang Yi.

After the two beautiful female soldiers left, Tang Yi didn't dare to dial the stage indiscriminately, lest he turn to the surname love show again, and found a cartoon to watch at random, it was a cat and a mouse, Tang Yi, who hadn't relaxed for a long time, had a lot of fun watching it, and laughed from time to time.

When he saw Jerry Mouse playing Tom Cat again, Tang Yi laughed with a teacup, and inadvertently blinked his eyes, but saw that Ning Xiaomei was also staring at the TV screen with relish, and there was a subtle smile on the corner of her mouth.

may have noticed that Tang Yi was looking at herself, Ning Xiaomei immediately retracted her gaze and picked up the teacup to drink tea.

Tang Yi was stunned, and then shook his head amusedly.

The dinner of the two in the evening did not have the warmth and romance of the world of the two, both of them ate their own and did not talk much. Tang Yi didn't talk much, and he didn't know what to say when he was with Ning Xiaomei, because he felt that the relationship between the two was really embarrassing, if it was a real friend or a real couple, it would be fine, but it would be neither. During the banquet, Ning Xiaomei said: "It's not as delicious as what you made." It made Tang Yi a little fluttering, Ning Xiaomei would not tell lies, her cooking skills were comparable to the chefs here, of course, it was worth being proud.

…… Before the luncheon the next day, Tang Yi finally saw his grandfather, the old lady was very old, but he was well maintained, his face was ruddy, his air was magnificent, and he sat casually when he was tall, which had brought endless pressure to people, including Tang Yi's own grandson, in front of the old lady, Tang Yi always had a feeling of looking up to the mountains.

The old lady briefly inquired about Tang Yi's work and life, and listened to Tang Yi's report as if he was making a work report, and couldn't help but smile: "Xiaoyi, I know what you said, I want to hear your voice, your true opinion on this marriage." ”

Tang Yi was silent for a while and said, "I know what I should do. The old lady nodded, and stopped talking about this stubble.

At the luncheon, in addition to the two old ladies, the third generation of Tang Yi and Ning Xiaomei, the second generation also had one person from each present, Ning Xiaomei's father was inspecting in the south, and the second generation of the Ning family attended the Ning family's aunt, Vice Admiral Zhou Keqiang, commander of the North Sea Fleet. Tang Wandong, then vice minister of finance of the State Council, was in his forties, and he had a bright future.

The topic is basically between the two old ladies, and the second and third generations have the attitude of listening to the teachings.

As he spoke, Old Lady Ning suddenly asked Tang Wandong: "Wandong, I heard that Comrade Tie Lin was adjusted to state councilor in this cabinet formation?" This old guy is a gratifying thing, and he doesn't make a phone call. ”

Tang Wandong nodded yes, and did not express any opinions.

Tang Yi knew that the so-called state councilor, although he was on the same level as the vice premier, was actually equal to the side, and could not go further to become the prime minister, which was also a special product of this era, since the reform and opening up, the factional struggle was fierce, in order to balance the factional tilt, the leaders had to make some changes in the state organs, set up an advisory committee and set up a state councilor such a position in the State Council, the advisory committee is actually to let those old revolutionaries who have overgrown their age still retain certain rights, and on the positive side, it is to put young leadersOn the negative side, "getting on the horse and giving it a ride" means to restrain the radical reformers from going too far. The establishment of the state councilor is that after the chief's southern tour, in order to check and balance the struggle of many vice premiers of the State Council, the State Council no longer has too many vice premiers, but replaces them with state councilors, so that it is basically impossible for those who serve as state councilors to compete for the next prime minister, and the vice premier is one of the natural candidates for the next prime minister. Because of this setup, the comrades who have served as state councilors in the past are all people who are on the older side, have rich practical work experience, and have strong work ability.

I don't know about the grievances between Old Lady Ning and Comrade Tielin, Tang Yi has to make a fortune in a muffled voice, but Tang Yi is concerned about whether the second uncle can be promoted to the vice premier sequence within ten years, and then compete for the prime minister's throne. In the previous life, the second uncle was in the position of vice minister of finance, but the situation in this life is obviously different, not to mention himself, first of all, the Tang family has gained great benefits in the central adjustment a while ago, let's just say the second uncle, in his previous life, he was in his early fifties to the position of vice minister of finance.

Tang Yi has just had the opportunity to get in touch with some core content now, and this meal is very comfortable, pricking up his ears, listening carefully to the two old men, and capturing some useful information.

"I'm bored, grandpa, I'll go out for a walk with Tang Yi." Ning Xiaomei put down the dishes and chopsticks, and spoke to Mrs. Ning in a calm tone. Probably, in the second and third generations, there is such a monster as Ning Xiaomei, who never knows what awe is, and in front of anyone, she will always look indifferent.

Old lady Ning smiled: "I'm bored after listening to us, Cheng, you can go." It seems that he really loves this granddaughter, if it was another third generation who dared to say the same thing at the dinner table, I was afraid that he would have been reprimanded a long time ago.

Tang Yi had no choice but to get up, at least now he had to show the same advance and retreat.

Before walking out of the room, I heard Tang Wandong smile and said: "Xiaoyi and Miss Ning are really a good match, a pair of wall people." ”

Old lady Ning laughed and said, "I'm just waiting to hold my grandson, and I don't know if the two little guys are willing to work hard to improve." ”

Everyone in the hall laughed, Tang Yi couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but when he looked at Ning Xiaomei, he looked calm, as if it was none of her business at all.

Tang Yi shook his head and helped the waiter to the hall door.

…… The next day, Tang Wandong found Tang Yi and gave Tang Yi a phone number, which was the phone number of Tian Chaoming, deputy secretary of the Liaodong Provincial Party Committee.

Tang Wandong said with a smile: "Before going back to Yanshan, I went to the provincial capital to meet him, and I greeted him." ”

Tang Yi knew that this was because his performance was recognized, and the second uncle felt that he could gain a foothold in Yanshan and began to expose himself to the Tang circle.

Tang Wandong may feel that Tang Yi is young, but he is still a little uneasy, and he did not forget to remind him before leaving: "But you have to remember that you can't trust anyone." ”

Tang Yi nodded silently.

After the second uncle left, Tang Yi was bored in the villa watching TV, waiting for someone from the military computer department to come. He also lives in Building 96, next to Ning Xiaomei. Later, when Ning Xiaomei was away, perhaps because she saw Tang Yi was approachable, the beautiful female soldier who sent snacks had the audacity to ask Tang Yi if she wanted to watch the video, and after Tang Yi nodded, she immediately sent a video recorder and many videotapes with another female soldier, and in the next few days, Tang Yi watched gunfight movies and American science fiction movies every day.

Ning Xiaomei also came to Tang Yi's room every day to sit for a while, but every time Tang Yi watched a shootout movie, Ning Xiaomei would frown and walk away with a teacup, probably in her opinion, those fake fights really didn't arouse any interest.

That night, Tang Yi was revisiting Fa Ge's "True Colors of Heroes", and Ning Xiaomei walked in, still wearing a white dress, probably just taken a shower, and her long hair was wet, which made her coldness add a bit of charm.

Tang Yi looked at the wall clock, it was already ten o'clock, and said strangely: "Something?" ”

"Just got a call, the computer guy is coming to see you tomorrow." As she spoke, Ning Xiaomei sat down beside Tang Yi.

Tang Yi sighed, lowered his head and went to the coffee table to touch the computer materials he had prepared, but suddenly found that under the hem of Ning Xiaomei's skirt, the delicate little leather laces were not fastened, revealing a touch of snow-white instep, and the crystal light made Tang Yi stunned, quickly picked up the materials, and turned his gaze.

Ning Xiaomei also noticed it, and owed her body to tie her shoes: "I'm afraid that you are asleep, you are in a hurry, and you forgot to wear socks." ”

Tang Yien sighed, but he inevitably imagined what the bare jade feet in Ning Xiaomei's leather shoes looked like, and his heart fluttered, and then he hurriedly threw away his thoughts.

Ning Xiaomei tied her shoelaces and sat up, just when she saw Fa Ge holding a toothpick in his mouth, killing all sides, looking like a hero.

Ning Xiaomei frowned: "It's so stupid, it's so troublesome to kill someone." ”

Tang Yi almost fell to the ground with the information in his hand, it was the first time he had heard someone criticize Fa Ge like this, and Ning Xiaomei had always spoken politely, and being able to say such things showed that she was extremely disdainful of Fa Ge.

"Don't talk nonsense, this is called a hero, kill one person in ten steps, and don't stay for a thousand miles!" Tang Yi is enthusiastic every time he watches Fa Ge's films, although this feeling is becoming more and more indifferent now, but Fa Ge is a childhood idol after all, and of course he doesn't like people to criticize him.

Ning Xiaomei stopped talking, and after a while, she stood up and said, "I'm leaving." ”

Tang Yi said casually while sorting out the information: "Wait, I have something to ask you, what department will come to see me tomorrow, the military and the military, I'm really a little confused, don't say the wrong thing and be arrested and put in prison at that time." ”

Tang Yi's cold joke did not arouse Ning Xiaomei's resonance, she said lightly: "The Third Intelligence Department of the Ministry of National Defense, the development of computer information belongs to their monitoring, and there are two computer experts from the Computer Information Center of the Academy of Military Sciences. Rest assured, they won't dare to catch you. The last sentence was bland, but it was a bit arrogant, Tang Yi smiled bitterly, how to listen to the tone? Like I need your protection?

"So which department do you belong to?" Tang Yi has always been curious about Ning Xiaomei's military identity, and he has never had a chance to ask.

"I am now the head coach of one of the commandos of the reconnaissance and assault units of the Yanjing Military Region."

Ning Xiaomei's tone was flat, but Tang Yi was in his heart, the Yanjing Military Region was the first military region to form a special forces force, and it would take a few years before the major military regions set up their own special forces forces, and the army that Ning Xiaomei is talking about now is undoubtedly the special forces of the Yanjing Military Region, the first special forces of the Republic, Tang Yi has heard of the special forces brigade of the Yanjing Military Region, which is similar to the establishment of the US Navy SEALs, and is the predecessor of the most mysterious code name "LDH" special forces in the Republic.

Is a minor a commando head coach? Although there is a relationship with the Ning family, if you can't control the scene, it will definitely not work.

No wonder it's said that Fa Gexiao, this girl won't kill anyone, right?

Looking at Ning Xiaomei again, Tang Yi felt weird.

"Hey, have you ever killed anyone?" Tang Yi finally couldn't help but ask.

Ning Xiaomei said: "I don't kill people, so I'm a coach." Tang Yi's heart was just let go, but he was still a little awkward in his heart, how could he hear her say that killing people seemed to be a very simple matter?

Suddenly thinking that something was wrong, he asked, "You belong to the Yanjing Military Region, what are you doing in Yanshan?" ”

"Pick up troops."

Tang Yi snorted and said with a smile: "As long as the soldiers you bring to the bar can be selected by you, I don't think there is any hope for our special forces construction." ”

Ning Xiaomei didn't speak, Tang Yi already knew her habits, which showed that she didn't recognize her words and didn't like to refute them.

"You play the piano pretty well." probably remembered the first time they met in the bar, Ning Xiaomei suddenly came up with such a sentence.

Tang Yi smiled, it was not easy to be praised by her.

As he spoke, Tang Yi was aroused, and wanted to know more about the army, after all, he didn't know many secrets, and he was afraid that Ning Xiaomei would be impatient to leave.

At this time, Tang Yi glanced at a few cartoon tapes in the video pile, and couldn't help but smile, there were several videotapes of "Cat and Mouse" in it. Probably the beautiful female soldier saw that the first show she watched was "Cat and Mouse", and she thought she liked this cartoon, but she didn't know where she borrowed it, so she secretly sent it to herself yesterday.

Flipping through the videotapes, Tang Yi went to change the program, and said: "It's late, watch the cartoon for a while and then rest." Little sister, sit down for a while, and I'll talk to you. ”

Ning Xiaomei hummed and said, "I'll go make a cup of tea." ”

"Drink Coke, young people like to drink this nowadays." Tang Yi took her a can of Coke from the refrigerator, and remembered the scene when others persuaded him to drink it, and couldn't help but shake his head.

Ning Xiaomei took the Coke, but she didn't open it, but she didn't say anything about going back to make tea.

The TV picture turned into a cat and mouse chase, and Ning Xiaomei said: "I like to watch this." ”

As soon as Tang Yi showed it, Ning Xiaomei was Ning Xiaomei, and after determining what she liked, she wouldn't care if others laughed at her, but admitted it frankly. But I like to watch cartoons, which means that a little girl is still a little girl after all, let you be out of the world, don't eat the fireworks of the world, and the psychological age is still a little girl after all, and she will retain the innocence of a little girl.

"Then drink Coke, Americans like to drink Coke when watching movies, eat popcorn, and drink Coke when watching American cartoons to have an American flavor!"

Ning Xiaomei sighed, opened the can, poured it into the cup, frowned and tasted two bites, which made Tang Yi snicker.

"I still like tea." Ning Xiaomei finally pushed the cup in front of Tang Yi, "You drink." ”

Although Ning Xiaomei has always been beautiful and does not use lipstick, there are still two light red patches left on the cup, and there seems to be a faint fragrance, Tang Yi's heart fluttered, and he hurriedly turned his head and said, "It's too unhygienic." "The heart said that a few days ago, I helped you pick up vegetables, and you were still very picky.

"We're fiancés."

Tang Yi was stunned, the intimacy of daring to touch also has a standard in her heart, and it changes with the change of relationship, how can it be like a game upgrade?

Xiaoxiao: "I don't like to drink Coke either." ”

Ning Xiaomei sighed, no longer reluctant.

(To be continued)
