"Alright then, I won't force you either." Gu Yu bit his lip and grinned again, "That Zheng Yi is weird and annoying, he sends flowers and gifts every day, I just don't like him, what should I do?"

"As a woman, a beautiful woman, you should have your own set of skills for rejecting men's pursuits, and I believe you have them too, so you don't need me to teach you more, right?" Xia Xiang teased Gu Yu a few words, in fact, he knew that with Gu Yu's cleverness, how could he not get rid of Zheng Yi's entanglement? She just took the opportunity to be coquettish, wanting to see her weight in his mind.

Well. Gu Yu really didn't say much about Zheng Yi, but said something that made Xia Xiang startled, "The last time I was with you, it happened to be my dangerous period, and then my menstruation was delayed: i; …… r……”

"Huh?" Xia Xiang couldn't be surprised, wouldn't he get Gu Yu pregnant with another shot and 1 ring? Even he couldn't believe that he was too amazing, so he hurriedly asked, "Is it okay now?" ”

"Of course it's okay, it's normal again, I thought I was pregnant, but it didn't, it scared me" Gu Yu patted Xia Xiang's arm, "I'm still young, so I don't want to have children." In the future, you should pay attention to it, when you want to bully people, you have to count it as a good life, otherwise you don't want to magnet me.

Gu Yu ran briskly, looking at her carefree back, Xia Xiang couldn't help but sigh. Sometimes it's also a rare happiness to think about a character like Gu Yu, everything is not careful, and you get angry if you want to, but you don't get angry for more than three minutes, and then it rains and the sky is sunny again.

If you can treat happiness as a very simple thing, you can be much happier. It's just that the vast majority of people can't do this.

Xia wanted to drive home, but seeing that it was still early, he was not in a hurry. Basically, he has seen all the people he should have seen in the capital, so he will wait for tomorrow to attend a party with Lao Gu, and then return to Yan City the day after tomorrow and start to work on the layout of the Xia Ma District. 7- Horse District, there is still a lot to do after the year.

When he was about to get home, he saw a lot of fruit stalls on the side of the road, so he got out of the car and bought some fruit. remembered that Xiao Lianxia loved apples the most, so he bought two boxes of apples and moved them to the car.

This Xiao Lianxia is very similar to him, he has loved apples since he was a child. Apples are known as the king of fruits, without any side effects, they are warm fruits, they are neither hot nor defeated when eaten, and they are said to improve intelligence, so apples are also called intellectual fruits.

Back at home, Xia wanted to move the apple upstairs, he was in a good mood today, and decided to perform his stunt of peeling the apple in front of Lian Ruohan and Xiao Lian Xia. When he first arrived in Cao Yong's country, he used his one-handed apple peeling skills to amaze Cao Shumu.

Xia wanted to enter the door quietly, and he didn't want to shoot, just to surprise Lian Ruohan's mother and son. He raised his feet high, walked lightly, quietly pushed open the door, and when he saw the person sitting in the middle of the living room, he was stunned on the spot!

Even Ruohan is here, and Xiao Lianxia is also there. Lian Ruohan sat quietly on the sofa with a dignified face. Xiao Lianxia was unaware of the solemnity of the atmosphere, and was chasing balloons on the ground to play. And in the middle of the sofa sat an old man with gray hair, a tall figure, and a square face, although Xia Xiang had never seen him, but he had only seen Wu Caiyang, and he was familiar with Wu Caijiang, and he could recognize at a glance that the old man in front of him was Old Man Wu! God, Old Man Wu personally came to visit, which was really a big surprise to him!

Xia Xiang originally thought that the trick with the Wu family should come to an end first, and there should be nothing to do in a short time, because after the mobilization of all forces, it was a collision between several families, and all he needed was to hand over a message to Ye Shisheng and Fan Ruiheng when he needed the first and second leaders of Yan Province to express his position, and talk around. Basically, the unhappy breakup between him and Wu Caiyang last time will definitely make Old Man Wu angry, even if he doesn't immediately suppress him, he may also beat him again through some channels when the opportunity is right.

And after Old Man Wu hinted to Lian Ruohan, he didn't take the initiative to visit, Old Man Wu will definitely have a lot of opinions about him, maybe he will be reclassified into the corner, never expected, but after less than a day, the old man suddenly appeared in front of him!

Or sat directly on the sofa where he and Lian Ruohan loved to dye, which made Xia Xiang feel a little confused, and his brain was a little distracted in an instant, and he didn't understand what Old Man Wu's intention was to come to the door in person? Xia Xiang was holding a box of apples and was stunned at the door, looking extremely strange. Xiao Lianxia, who was chasing the balloon, found that Xia wanted to come back, and immediately jumped up happily: "Dad, Dad is back!" Then he pounced and hugged Xia Xiang's legs. The deep love between father and son can be seen. Xia Xiang hurriedly put down the apple and hugged Xiao Lianxia in his arms: "Son, do you miss your father?" "Hmm!" Xiao Lian Xia Xiang replied affirmatively, and then touched Xia Xiang's face with his hand, "Dirty."

When Xia wanted to move the apples, there was a little mud on his face, he smiled, wiped it off with his hands, and then hugged Lian Xia to the face of Old Man Wu, and said respectfully: "Old man, Happy New Year!" ”

The phrase "old man" is rich in meaning, Old Man Wu frowned, a trace of unhappiness flashed in his eyes, but he still did not have a seizure, and nodded: "Xia Xiang, I have something to ask you, you sit down" No, it is better for me to stand, in front of you, there is no place for me to sit. Xia Xiang's attitude was very good, standing in front of Old Man Wu very upright, bowing his head slightly.

"You also know who I am, so there is no need to be empty between us" Old Man Wu didn't get up, sat still, and then glanced at Lian Ruohan majestically, "Ruohan, you and Lian Xia go upstairs." ”

Lian Ruohan hesitated, glanced at Xia Xiang, but still went upstairs with Lian Xia, and signaled to Xia Xiang with his eyes before leaving, asking him not to be impulsive.

Xia wanted to understand that he would definitely not be impulsive and would not have any conflicts with Old Man Wu. If it is really different, it will not be the same as Wu Caiyang, and it will not be like Wu Caiyang, making an unhappy ending. Xia Xiang also made up his mind, what the old man said today, he didn't refute, explain, argue, and don't try to persuade the old man, he just listened, and whether he did it after listening to it was another matter.

The old man looked at Xia Xiang for a long time, and wanted to laugh, but he didn't laugh, but sighed = "Actually, you are really a good young man) It's a pity) It's a pity that one by one, one by one"

He shook his head and sighed, then stood up again, pointing outside with his hand: "It's okay to go outside and take a walk." "I'll help you." Xia Xiang helped the old man in time. The old man did not shy away from it, and let Xia Xiang support him, and the old and the young came to the foreign company.

The yard is not big, and it is afternoon again, the sunset is slanting in the west, and the north wind is blowing, which is quite desolate.

The real old man walked a few steps, and said in a voice of vicissitudes: "The sunset is infinitely good, but it is just near dusk." When people are old, sometimes they think about more things, they are more complicated, and they are much softer than when they were younger. ”

Xia wanted to listen carefully, and with a smile on his face, he secretly appreciated in his heart, he just said two "pity" with his status, if he was still in power, two "pity" was enough to make a provincial party secretary unable to sleep. Even if he is no longer in office, if a provincial official is said "pity" by him in person, he will be scared to sleep, at least he must respectfully ask him where the pity is......

Xia Xiangbut; $ Nothing happened, he didn't ask why, and he didn't care about his conclusions at all, so Old Man Wu couldn't help but praise secretly, no matter whether Xia Xiang was pretending or sincere, this gift was unique among the young people he had seen at this level.

Lian Ruohan's villa yard is not big, the two of them walked a few steps, standing facing the sunset, and the figures of the two were oblique and long.

"I like Lian Xia very much, his appearance has made my condition better. I also know that if it weren't for Lian Xia, maybe my old bones wouldn't be able to survive, and from this point of view, the matter between you and Ruohan is not all wrong, and it is also humming on the good side. The old man is different from Wu Caiyang, he starts directly from the family affection, "Everything in the world has advantages and disadvantages, and there is no perfect, so although I blame you, I no longer hate you because of Ruohan's affairs, and I have to look forward to ...... of life" "Yes, you always say yes, thank you for your magnanimity." Xia Xiang didn't answer, just thanked him appropriately.

Old Man Wu suddenly smiled: "Xia Xiang, do you want to take the middle route and support the right source, or do you want to rely on one family?" ”

Old Man Wu's question was very direct, and Xia Xiang had to answer it positively: "My vision is still low now, and it is an important matter for Geyi to govern the Xiama District first." In fact, Xia Xiang still had a sloppy eye, which means that he is not a route.

But in officialdom, it is impossible not to take any route, especially Xia Xiang, although he is young, he has already stepped into the ranks of deputy department level, and he must have a long-term daylight. Because when it comes to the department level, once the ruling party is in charge, it must have a firm line, otherwise it will not last long.

Seeing that Xia wanted to avoid the serious, Old Man Wu said very unhappily: "You helped Qiu Renli, and at the same time united with Mei Shengping, and also introduced Qian Jinsong and Qiu Renli to each other, everything is not good for the Wu family, can I think that you have stood on the opposite side of the Wu family, regardless of the fact that Ruohan and Lian Xia are the Wu family, you have to fight against the Wu family to the end?" ”

"Old man......" Xia Xiang called out sincerely for the first time, "Old man", and then he shook his head slightly and said, "You are not right, I am not doing this to help the Qiu family, nor to harm the interests of the Wu family, but just to judge the situation and follow the trend." Just like when I was in Yan City, I helped Yu Fanran introduce Li Dingshan and Gao Hai to each other, but I just thought that under the current situation, Yu Fanran's understanding of Li Dingshan and Gao Hai was conducive to maintaining the balance of the situation in Yan City, not to help Yu Fanran unite Li Dingshan and Gao Hai to form a new force in Yan City. In the same way, I helped the Qiu family because I thought that opening up the situation in Yan Province at this stage would be more conducive to the balance of the situation in Yan Province than any of the Wu family, the Mei family, and the Fu family, and it would be better to maintain the current political situation of stability and unity, so I helped the Qiu family. ”

"What a big breath!" Old Man Wu was half joking and half mocking, "I just said that I was just a small secretary of the district party committee, but now when I talk about the reason, I have the world in mind and care about the common people, which makes people listen to it and think that you are the secretary of the provincial party committee!" Situation? Go with the flow? Young people, do you know what the situation is now? Do you know what the trend will be in the future? Being young is not a borrowing for big words

was sneered at by Old Man Wu, Xia Xiang was not angry at all, and Old Man Wu's attitude was also in his imagination. Today, Old Man Wu is not clear, and he must be under the banner of visiting Lian Xia. Visiting Lian Xia may be one of his original intentions, but it is by no means the whole purpose, the old man is still not at ease, and may also know that Wu Caiyang's attitude is not very good, so he deigned to come in person, also to contact him again, so as not to die unrepentant and be accidentally injured by the Wu family in the battle. It can be seen that Old Man Wu does still have a soft side, and perhaps he does care more about himself than Wu Caiyang.

Xia Xiang stood beside the old man, he was in the past, and his figure was not much taller than that of Old Man Wu, it can be seen that when the old man was young, he was also a tall and mighty person, but at this time, under the sunset, when the north wind blows, the old man's back is Xiao Suo in Xia Xiang's eyes, and he is still slightly bent back, and his gray hair is blown by the wind, just like the withered grass and trees in the cold wind.

In an instant, Xia Xiang's heart softened, he was very pigeon, gave the old man a thoughtful comfort, and wanted to give him a solemn promise.

But after a moment he regained his composure, knowing that his political position must be firm, and there must be no tenderness or retreat. In the face of major issues of principle, his compromise was not only irresponsible to himself, but also irresponsible to the Wu family.

Besides, he had already promised the Qiu family, and it was impossible to go back on his word. Don't look at the Qiu family and the Mei family have a good relationship with him now, but as long as he regrets it once, he will be immediately put into the cold palace by the two families, and it will be difficult to regain the trust of the two families.

The road has been halfway through, and it is impossible to start from scratch again, not to mention that even if he starts all over again, it is not his original intention to re-embark on the road of relying on his family.

Xia Xiang smiled at Old Man Wu's ridicule: "Before seeing the final result, no one can guarantee that their choice is correct." I've been thinking since I met Ruohan, is it a family route? Attached to a big family, you can definitely avoid many detours, and at the same time, it will also reduce risks, with the support of family forces, the speed of promotion will be faster and more secure, but at the same time, it is easy to become a political victim of the family. ”

Old Man Wu waved his hand: "If you don't have the ability and don't rely on your family, you will invisibly become a victim of others." It's a good thing that you can put yourself in the right position, but don't forget that in the Wu family, Cai Jiang has a good impression of you, at least when I am still alive, Cai Yang will not easily touch you. With these two guarantees, if you enter the core system of the Wu family, there will be no harm in it. ”

The old man did his best to Xia Xiang, he didn't say it, Xia Xiang could also understand the old man's true thoughts, he was indeed old, just like an ordinary old man, when he reached the age of teasing his grandson, he didn't want to lose Lian Xia. He knows himself with reason and affection, but in fact, he is extremely reluctant to Lian Xia? Fearing that after he and the Wu family really turned their faces, Lian Ruohan took Lian Xia to the United States in a fit of anger and never looked back.

Perhaps deep in the old man's heart, he regarded Lian Xia as his only support for life. People who have been seriously ill have experienced life and death, and they are particularly concerned about life and death, and they cherish the time when they are alive. Lian Xia is the lucky star of the old man.

"No matter where you go, I will persuade Ruohan to stay with you, and if she takes Lian Xia back to the United States, I will also stop her and let her and Lian Xia stay by your side." Xia Xiang did not answer the old man's question directly, but said what the old man was most concerned about.

Old Man Wu was finally moved, he looked Xia Xiang up and down a few times, and wanted to say something, but it just turned into a long sigh: "You are really an extremely smart young man, the entry point when looking at problems is very accurate, and you can always know what everyone needs most, no wonder you have an extensive network in Lang Province......" Xia Xiang just listened to Old Man Wu's words quietly, did not express his opinion, and did not go down.

Old Man Wu knew that Xia Xiang was also a stubborn person, like Lian Ruohan, sometimes the number of respects and courtesies on the surface would not be less, but one is one, two is two, once something is decided, it is extremely difficult to change. No wonder even Ruohan would get together with him, it turned out that under his kind face, he also had a stubborn heart. Old Man Wu suddenly pointed to a bench in the distance with his hand: "Let's go, go over and sit." ”

Xia Xiang still smiled, and helped Old Man Wu to sit down on the bench. Next to the bench is a swing, apparently a place to play in the summer.

If it were in the summer, the courtyard was verdant, and even the laughter of the summer really resounded, what a moving scene.

Xia Xiang originally wanted to sit on the right side of the old man, but as soon as the north wind blew and the old man was sitting on the upper hand, he staggered and sat on the left side of the old man, blocking the cold wind for him.

Although it is a very small detail, it also warms the heart of Old Man Wu, whether it is Wu Caiyang, Wu Caijiang, or the third generation of the Wu family, who can have the same wit and carefulness as Xia Xiang, as well as this rare filial piety? He sighed slightly in his heart, it's a pity, it's a pity, it's a great pity that Xia Xiang can't be officially included in the Wu family's system.

But it is precisely this that proves the preciousness of Xia Xiang. He doesn't ask for the gifts of the Wu family, but he can still respect him carefully and thoughtfully, which is a state of mind that ordinary people can't do. Even Wu Caiyang and Wu Caijiang are not quiet, of course, it is also because the status of the two is too high and they rely on their identities.
