Chapter 232: Clear Purpose
"Actually, this tea set was set by my father earlier, but he heard that the younger generation was going to visit Mr. Bai, and he had heard a lot about the Bai family and Mr. Bai's deeds since he was a child, so he admired it very much, so although this gift was given to Mr. Bai by the younger generation, it also carried my father's admiration for Mr. Bai."
When Xia Qian said this, her expression was frank and not humble or arrogant, although she refuted the meaning of Old Lady Bai's words, but it was difficult for people to feel disgusted, but because of her frankness, there was a trace of appreciation.
"Your father has heard of me?" Xia Qian's words were not deliberately complimentary, just a calm and friendly statement, and as an old man who has been marching for many years, in his opinion, he has a lot of honors, and there are many people who have met him for a while, but it is very comfortable to hear Xia Qian say this for no reason.
Xia Qian smiled slightly, "When my father has nothing to do, he always likes to flip through the modern history of China, and the younger generations have heard a lot of it, especially the battle that Mr. Bai commanded in Vietnam in 66, and the younger generations have heard my father say it many times. ”
Yesterday, Xia Qian called Xia Mingqian to tell him that she was going to visit the old lady of the Bai family today, Xia Mingqian was very surprised, and told Xia Qian about the old lady again, and then Xia Qian went to the Internet to search for the life deeds of the old lady in the attitude of knowing himself and the other.
After finishing today, I asked Xia Mingqian for some advice, and I probably knew that the command of the battle almost established the status of the old lady of the Bai family in the military circles, of course, the exploits of the old lady alone would definitely not allow the Bai family to have the power it has now.
On the other hand, it was also because the Bai family had been in business for many years at the time, and belonged to the big clan at that time, and at that time, with their own assets and the ability they had at that time, they helped Huaguo ensure a lot of confidential documents and a batch of life-saving medicines.
Very few people in China know about this matter, and the state has not issued an official letter to commend it, so this matter has become a wild history and has been handed down, but it does not mean that no one knows.
And the upper echelons of the country should also be clear, but the Bai family does not mention it. And the government also took into account the current prestige and prestige of the Bai family, and did not plan to let their image go well in front of the people, in other words, they were also a little afraid of the Bai family, but fortunately, the Bai family also knew that they did not drill the horns in this matter.
When I heard Xia Mingqian mention this. Xia Qian was puzzled for a while, and according to the time he said, Xia Qian thought of the last task he carried out in his previous life.
She clearly remembered that the mission was to get her a roster, and the characters had been locked for her, and she only needed to get close to the goal and get the roster and grab all the people on the roster and hand them back to the organization, even if her mission was completed.
It's just that people are not as good as heaven. As soon as she got the roster, there was a problem with the ship, and she inexplicably came decades later, and I don't know if this is a human creation.
Hearing Xia Qian say this, he obviously didn't mean to compliment, but the slightly calm statement in his tone made the old man happy, after all, that battle was indeed the greatest glory in his life.
As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person when you reach out, so although the look on the old man's face is still quite strict, he nodded slightly. Motioned for a few people to sit down first.
Peng Haiyi was overjoyed when he saw the old man like this, knowing that the old man had initially accepted Xia Qian, so he beckoned Xia Qian to sit down.
Mrs. Bai was originally a famous scholar, so seeing Xia Qian's humble and indifferent appearance, she had a lot of good feelings in her heart.
"Today's dishes are all home-cooked dishes that I asked the kitchen to make, Miss Xia should not dislike it." The old lady Bai had a kind face.
"You're serious." Xia Qian said politely.
The Bai family is a family that pays attention to etiquette, so after a meal, because of the habit of not talking or talking about food. They didn't say anything.
In Xia Qian's last life, due to the task, she learned a lot of things in all aspects, including this table manners, and the etiquette they learned at that time was closer to traditional things. So at this time, her actions, in the eyes of Mrs. Bai, are a rare lady's appearance, and she can't help but have a better impression of Xia Qian in her heart.
After the meal, Peng Haiyi remembered the purpose of coming here today, and he also knew that his grandfather also knew the purpose of bringing Xia Qianqian here, so he didn't hide it. told the old lady to be a middleman, so that his uncle and cousin would not be embarrassed by Xia Qian.
Originally, Xia Qian thought that coming to the Bai family this time would leave a good impression in the heart of the old lady Bai, and he would not tear his face directly with the Bai family in the future, but he didn't expect Peng Haiyi to directly move out this time.
But after thinking about it, it was impossible for the old lady not to know about this, and of course it was impossible not to know the purpose of Peng Haiyi bringing her over, so she was relieved after thinking about it for a while.
"Grandpa, you feel most sorry for us juniors, and didn't you also say before that children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, Ah Yi now has something to do, and he wants to do a good job in his hands, isn't this something you have always taught us?" Peng Haiyi smiled and said to the old man like a joke.
After that, he turned the topic to Xia Qian, "Don't look at Xia Qianqian as a girl, and she is not very old, but now that Xia is in her hands, she has almost changed in less than half a year, isn't it quite inspirational?" ”
Peng Haiyi never thought of playing any tricks in front of Old Man Bai, after all, what kind of person the old man is, he has seen it clearly all these years. So instead of hiding it and not telling the truth, so that the old man is not happy, it is better to say it all and be a frank person that the old man likes.
"Taking over the Xia family at such a young age, what should you do with your studies?" When the old lady heard Peng Haiyi say this, she asked Xia Qian with some doubts.
"I majored in oil painting, and there were fewer courses, so I was able to cope with it." Xia Qian replied to the old lady with a smile.
"You studied oil painting?" The old lady obviously cared about Xia Qian's answer, after all, she had studied this for most of her life, so she naturally felt kind when she heard it.
"Hmm," Xia Qian nodded.
"There was something wrong with her family last year, Uncle Xia's health has been poor, Xia Qianqian took over Xia's in order to let Uncle Xia recuperate with peace of mind."
Peng Haiyi listened to Xia Qiangang's eyes move when he finished saying the word 'deal with', according to the old lady's perennial teachings, he dislikes half-hearted people the most, and his style of doing things is often serious and down-to-earth, so he didn't wait for the old lady to speak, and said a word to the old lady.
