Chen Guanhua couldn't talk about enthusiasm, he only shook hands with Xia Xiang, and said: ...... Fortunately. , Xia Xiang didn't care, thinking that it was because he was a soldier, so he was used to being cold, so he didn't think much about it, and his mind fell on Lao Gu.

"Old Gu, your body is still very strong, and I still expect you to live until I retire." Xia Xiang stepped forward and sat next to Lao Gu, seeing that Lao Gu's complexion was indeed much worse than before, his eyes were blank, and his face was gloomy, as if he had aged by more than ten years.

"Ahem, cough ......" Before he could speak, Lao Gu coughed first, Xia wanted to pat his back with his nose, and he said after he was angry, "When people are old, they have to serve the old." But I heard that Lao Wu Tou is in good health? I have to die after him, I want to attend his memorial service, and then send him to Babaoshan. It would be a shame to let him send me. ”

Even death has to be compared to who is first, Xia Xiang was speechless, but fortunately, Lao Gu is still in the mood to joke, it shouldn't be very serious. Although he has a good relationship with Lao Gu, after all, when people are old, they are taboo to talk about life and death, so it is not good for him to ask more about what his condition is.

Chen Guanhua didn't talk much, sat on the side, always straightened his waist, and respected Lao Gu very much, as long as Lao Gu called him, he immediately got up and answered, it is estimated that he is also Lao Gu's descendant.

After gossiping and talking about the situation in Qin and Tang, Lao Gu's words increased. Xia Xiang was worried about his body and didn't want him to say more, but he still kept talking, and pointed to Chen Guanhua from time to time, saying that it was the last emergency moment, and Chen Guanhua would fully support Xia Xiang as a last resort.

Xia Xiang expressed his gratitude to Chen Guanhua in time, but Chen Guanhua just waved his hand lightly: "Don't thank me, I will do whatever the chief says, it has nothing to do with you." ”

The words were very cold and direct, and Xia Xiang didn't care" just laughed it off.

Gu Yu served tea and stood quietly to the side, his eyes showing sadness. Xia Xiang was distressed when he saw it, and wanted to comfort Gu Yu a few words, "There is Chen Guanhua present again, so it's hard to speak."

As he spoke, the topic of Lao Gu returned to what was behind him.

"Everything else is fine, but Gu Yu is the most worrying to me. However, she has Xia Xiang and Guanhua to take care of her in the world, so I can feel at ease. Xia thought, if there is something unpleasant about Gu Yu in the future, "Or if there are difficulties in the business, you can help her more." Guanhua, in the future Guyu's life, you will have to worry more. ”

Xia Xiang was stunned, Lao Gu was very clear, obviously he had the intention of entrusting Gu Gu, but he was only entrusted with the important matter of taking care of Gu Yu, but he was entrusted with Chen Guanhua to take care of Gu Yu's life, it was obvious that he wanted Gu Yu to follow Chen Guanhua.

Isn't Chen Guanhua married yet?

"Grandpa" don't say it, it's weird and sad. The doctor said you can live for another 20 years......" Gu Yu said with disgust, his eyes drifted to Chen Guanhua, unwilling and helpless.

"Guanhua is good, my lover has not remarried after 10 years of death, and he is very affectionate" There are very few such men now, although they are a little older than you, but they are honest and reliable, so don't be picky. "Lao Gu arranged a lifelong event for Gu Yu in front of Xia Xiang, he must have deliberately let Xia Xiang see it" Maybe he also had the intention of testing Xia Xiang.

What can Xia Xiang say? Only silence can be maintained. He can't give Gu Yu lifelong happiness, Gu Yu is also a simple and straightforward character, he can't hide his sadness, but he may not be able to withstand the long years.

Chen Guanhua's face was slightly red, and he lowered his head a little embarrassed, Xia Xiang could see that Chen Guanhua was indeed a reliable person, at least he was honest and unpretentious, and he was affectionate.

Gu Yu bit his lip but shook his head resolutely: "Grandpa, don't say it, I will not marry for the rest of my life, so I will stay by your side and serve you." When you're gone, I'll go to Europe and settle down, find a small town, and live quietly by myself for the rest of my life. ”

Lao Gu sighed: "Silly girl, why are you embarrassing yourself? He glanced at Xia Xiang intentionally or unintentionally, and finally his gaze fell on Chen Guanhua again, "Guanhua, no matter what Gu Yu thinks, I hope you can always take care of her life as much as possible." ”

Chen Guanhua stood up again and saluted: "Yes, chief!" Mission completion guaranteed! ”

Lao Gu stretched out his hand and motioned for Chen Guanhua to sit down, but said to Xia Xiang: "Honest people are at a loss, Guanhua is at a loss on the Taigu board, Xia Xiang, if he had half of your cleverness, he would not be what he is now." ”

Xia Xiang had no choice but to say: "You really know how to joke, Guanhua is now a major general, and he is not much stronger than me." ”

Chen Guanhua was obviously hostile to Xia Xiang, and gave Xia Xiang a disdainful glance.

Gu Yu turned around and left: "I'll make some more tea." ”

For a moment, the atmosphere of the room was a bit calm.

After a few minutes, he didn't speak, Xia wanted to look again, Lao Gu squinted his eyes slightly, and he was already asleep. He gently covered the quilt for Lao Gu, and then got up, but heard Chen Guanhua say behind him: "Xia Xiang, go out for a walk?" ”

It seems that Chen Guanhua has something to say, and Xia wants to nod.

The old courtyard was full of desolation, and in winter, the cold wind blew, and it was desolate. Maybe it's really the reason why Lao Gu is seriously ill, and the courtyard that he is usually familiar with now falls in Xia Xiang's eyes, and it is full of decay.

When Chen Guanhua walked, he strutted with his head held high, and his years of military career allowed him to develop a mighty posture. He and Xia Xiang walked side by side in front of the rockery and stopped: i, Xia Xiang, I tell you the truth, I like Gu Yu very much, although I am much older than her, I believe that I will wait until the day when she changes her mind. ”

Declared war on him? Xia Xiang smiled casually: "Gu Yu is a good girl, there are many people who like her, but there are not many who can make her take a fancy to her. I can only wish you success. ”

Chen Guanhua had a hidden anger on his face: "I hope you will let Gu Yu go in the future!" ”

Xia Xiang is not showing weakness: "You have the right to choose happiness, and Gu Yu also has it." ”

Chen Guanhua's face changed: "Don't forget, you are a married man." ”

Xia Xiang smiled instead: "Don't forget, you are also married, and you are more than ten years older than Gu Yu......"

"......" Where can Chen Guanhua say Xia Xiang, he was speechless, stunned for a long time, and then threw down another sentence, "The chief said, when you need it, let me fully support you, I promised the chief, I will do what I say." But the chief also said that he wanted me to take care of Gu Yu's life, and I agreed, and I will do what I say. ”

Looking at the back of Chen Guanhua who resolutely left, Xia Xiang secretly shook his head, Chen Guanhua has a stubborn side and a funny side, but he is a person who has a clear distinction between public and private.

It's just that Lao Gu's condition is really serious enough to support it for a short time?

Since Lao Gu doesn't say it, Xia Xiang also has his own channels to know. At noon, after having lunch with Lao Gu, he said goodbye and left, Gu Yu sent him outside, and when he saw that there was no one around, he got into the car, hugged Xia Xiang's neck and kissed him a few times.

"I still think you're the best!" After kissing, Gu Yu wiped his mouth, like a child who had stolen something, threw down a sentence and ran away.

When Xia wanted to drive to Wu's house, it was around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and at this time, Old Man Wu just woke up from a nap, and he knocked on the door of the old man's villa.

Old Man Wu is very healthy, and when he saw Xia Xiang, he smiled: "It's rare to think of taking the initiative to come to see me, Xiao Xia, you have matured a lot recently, and your performance in Qin and Tang is a good circle." ”

Xia Xiang smiled implicitly: "Many people say that I am afraid of wolves and tigers, I have to maintain a positive image, but also tolerate Niu Linguang, and now even I doubt that I am not energetic......"

"What's the use of being vigorous? In officialdom, vigor is synonymous with childishness. The old man wrote a pair of words very complacently, admired it for a long time, and said with a smile, "You have reached the age of establishment, and you are still the secretary of the municipal party committee, and it is a sign of immaturity to fight with others at every turn."

It is very difficult for an immature department-level cadre to be promoted to a vice province. ”

From the department level to the vice provincial level, just like the colonel to the major general, the clearance rate is extremely low, and the elimination rate is as high as 780 percent. From the deputy hall to the main hall, there may be someone on it, and you can go up with a little political achievement. But from the main hall to the vice province, it will be necessary to test the comprehensive ability of all aspects, and at his age, the vice province is not to go to the people's congress and the CPPCC, but must be a substantive vice province, so he must take every step in the Qin and Tang dynasties.

Therefore, Zhang Guowei was far-sighted and forced him to make mistakes from the side, not only to make it difficult for him to gain a foothold in the Qin and Tang Dynasties, but also if he was too radical or too hasty, leaving an immature impression on his superiors, I am afraid it would be difficult to be promoted to vice province.

It is also the key reason why Xia Xiang is now in Qin and Tang step by step, he is not forbearing, but moving with the camera, and even more planning and then moving, what he wants is not to destroy Zhang Guowei's forces from the front, but to dissolve and divide, and it is the best policy to win it over for my use. As for Niu Linguang, it is enough not to make a move, and a shot must be a fatal blow.

Instead of weakening the opponent's power little by little, like dealing with Oh Chen, what you want is a thunderous blow and a one-hit kill.

The old man's teaching cannot be said to be conservative, but can only be said to be out of the love for him and to seek progress in stability. The more you go up, the more you need to be steady, and the more you need to pay attention to the roundness of your means.

greeted the old man's body, talked about Lian Ruohan's recent situation, and talked about Lian Xia, etc., anyway, the old man only talks about family affairs, regardless of the country, Xia Xiang asked about Lao Gu's condition when the time was right: "Have you visited Lao Gu?" ”

"Old Gutou's illness is fierce, and this winter, he is not having a good time." Old Man Wu obviously guessed Xia Xiang's meaning of inquiry, "It's heavy and heavy, it's light and light, it depends on his mood, I hope he can get through, there is less old man annoying me, and there is a lot less fun." I'm counting on him to fight me for another dozen years, haha. ”

For each other, it is still mixed news, and he has no good way to deal with Lao Gu's condition, so he can only do his best to obey the fate of heaven.

He returned to Qin Tang that night, and the next morning, as soon as he entered the office, Huang Deyi followed him in, and he was not polite after coming in, and directly asked Xia Xiang for a very tricky matter, Zhou Mingya sued Meng Tianyuan for rape ......! ~！
