The quaint and heavy courtyard, the ground in the middle of winter is covered with a thick layer of snow, and there are a few staff members who are cleaning the snow, Chen Xing has come to this courtyard where the old man of the Zhang family lives is not once or twice, and he is familiar with this place, and even where there are bright or dark guards, Chen Xing has a spectrum in his heart, and the old man of the Zhang family is getting older and older, and the old man of the Zhang family is becoming more and more simple, and this seemingly ordinary courtyard house does not know how many high-level cadres are affected.

Zhang Yi drove Chen Xing and Zhang Ningning to the gate of the courtyard, Zhang Ningning jumped out of the car, turned his head and asked Zhang Yi with a smile, "Second brother, you haven't had lunch anyway, so let's go in together." ”

"No, no, it's better for you to go in with Chen Xing, who knows if the old man has prepared me, if I go in later, but I don't have my share, then I have to stand by and watch you eat." Zhang Yi was half-joking, in the final analysis, he was still in awe of the old man in his heart, sitting together to eat, Rao is the second young master of the Zhang family, who was majestic outside, was also sitting on pins and needles.

Zhang Yi turned around and left, Zhang Ningning and Chen Xing went in together, while Zhang Ming and Wang Zheng touched a nose when they went to the airport to pick up the plane, and Wang Zheng finally didn't come over.

When the two of them were about to arrive in the backyard, Xiao Yuan, the life secretary of Old Man Zhang, was already waiting at the door of the backyard, and when he saw Zhang Ningning, Xiao Yuan also "revealed" a smile on his face, "Xiao Ningning is back." ”

"Uncle Xiao, has Grandpa eaten it?" Zhang Ningning smiled and nodded, in her memory, since she was in junior high school, Xiao Yuan was his grandfather's life secretary, this moment, more than ten years have passed, Xiao Yuan is still the same Xiao Yuan, and she has grown into a big girl.

"The chief said he would wait for you to come back for lunch, but of course he hasn't eaten yet." Xiao Yuan smiled and nodded slightly at Chen Xing, Chen Xing hurriedly responded, don't look at Xiao Yuan as just a life secretary, but outside, even if he is a provincial and ministerial-level cadre, he is still polite when he sees Xiao Yuan, and the other party represents the face of the old man.

In the backyard hall, Mr. Zhang was already sitting at the dining table on crutches, and there were exquisite four dishes and one soup on the table, obviously just served, seeing his baby granddaughter come in, Mr. Zhang smiled happily, beckoned to Zhang Ningning, and said distressedly, "Oh, my baby granddaughter will get married in the future, but you can't often come back to eat with me." ”

"Grandpa, look at what you said, you can't still come back after you get married." Zhang Ningning sat next to the old man, and Chen Xing sat down at the old man's signal. Urban tycoon 396

Xiao Yuan was about to turn around and leave, but he saw Old Man Zhang waving his hand, "Xiao Xiao, there are no outsiders today, you can also sit down and eat, you and Chen Xing are both young people, we have common topics, we can talk more." ”

"No, Chief

All right. Xiao Yuan hesitated, obviously flattered.

"There's nothing bad about it, I just say okay." Old Man Zhang disagreed.

Xiao Yuan finally sat down, looked at Chen Xing and smiled, the smile was a little strange, he was forty-five years old, young people are not counted, they can only be said to be in their prime, this will be said by Old Man Zhang to be the same young man as Chen Xing, Xiao Yuan feels a little strange, but Old Man Zhang is ten years old, and it is normal to say that they are all young people.

Old man Zhang is talking more about his baby granddaughter, maybe because he is getting older, Old Man Zhang's mental strength is not as good as what Chen Xing saw a few years ago, he talks too much, Old Man Zhang is obviously a little tired, Xiao Yuan on the side hurriedly reminded the old man to say less.

"Happy today, it's okay." Old man Zhang shook his head with a smile, his face was tired, but the interest was still very high, and Zhang Ningning talked about the marriage, the Lunar New Year is coming, Chen Xing and Zhang Ninghai's wedding day is set for the Chinese New Year's Eve, this is Old Man Zhang's decision, but also for more festive atmosphere.

After eating a meal for half an hour, Mr. Zhang's daily thunderous nap time was approaching, Xiao Yuan had to remind him again, Mr. Zhang couldn't help but jokingly said, "The older people get, the less free they become, if you want to eat something you love and do what you like, this doctor is about to start nagging, you can't eat this, you can't eat that, you have to follow the schedule every day, you can't do anything else when it's time to sleep, Chen Xing, you said that this day is not very hard." ”

Chen Xing didn't expect that Old Man Zhang would make such a joke with himself in the end, and he couldn't respond to this kind of thing 'chaotically', so he replied decently, "The staff also hope that the old man will live a long life." ”

"Live a long life." Old man Zhang laughed quite self-deprecatingly, but he didn't say anything, Zhang Ningning helped him to the room, this was what Xiao Yuan should do in the past, Zhang Ningning was there at noon, Xiao Yuan was free, walking behind, Xiao Yuan gave Chen Xing a business card, a very simple business card design, the top is' Xiao Yuan's then phone number, the rest is a blank, no fancy design, an ordinary cardstock, Chen Xing solemnly accepted the business card, this business card is very heavy, serious is those who have no confidence but like to hang a large list of titles on the business card.

"You can contact if you have something." Xiao Yuan smiled slightly, and just said this lightly.

Leaving from the courtyard at noon, Chen Xing followed Zhang Ningning to where his mother lived, in fact, in this courtyard, only Mr. Zhang and a staff member lived, and the rest had their own homes, and the community where Zhang Ningning's parents lived was not too far from this courtyard, but with the congested traffic in the capital

In terms of calculation, the time spent in the car by myself is not short.

Zhang Ningning's mother Zeng Yun was alone at home, Zhang Guohua was transferred to Jianghai Province as the governor, and her daughter was not around, she was the only one left in this house.

Chen Xing entered the community, and after listening to Zhang Ningning, he learned that there are many families of ministerial-level cadres living in this community, and many cadres of the National Development and Reform Commission also live here, so the security of the community is not property security, but guards transferred from the armed police force, and the inventory of foreign population is also relatively strict.

"Chen Xing, you have been in the capital for a few days, and you haven't come to me to sit down first, and now you are still separated from your aunt, and in more than ten days, you have to change your name to call your mother." Zeng Yun made a joke about Chen Xing as soon as they met, she knew that Chen Xing had been transferred to the Ministry of Education and had arrived in the capital a few days ago.

"Auntie, I've been busy getting acquainted with work these days, and there are more things, so I didn't have time to come and see you, it's mine." Chen Xing was a little embarrassed, to say that he was not very busy, he did forget to come over to see the future mother-in-law, although he knew that Zeng Yun was joking, Chen Xing was a little self-blaming, fortunately, the mother-in-law was not to blame.

"Okay, okay, don't talk about this, you have nothing to do in the future, come to me often, your uncle went to work in Jianghai, this house is much more deserted, you and Zhang Ningning will often come to eat in the future, so it will make this house more popular." Zeng Yun said with a smile.

In the future, after only sitting at the mother-in-law's house for a few minutes, Chen Xing's phone rang, it was Song Zhi calling, the little pump girl pestered him for his phone number, Chen Xing saw that she called, and then pressed it off, this little pump girl is not expected to find him There is nothing good.

"Chen Xing, you still have to go to work in the afternoon, you just changed to a new unit, if it's a matter of the unit, then don't delay." Zeng Yun saw that Chen Xing didn't answer the phone, and said thoughtfully.

"Auntie, it's not a big deal." Chen Xing smiled and shook his head.

When it was about to go to work in the afternoon, Chen Xingcai said goodbye and left, Zhang Ningning stayed to talk to his mother, and the mother and daughter had to go shopping in the afternoon.

Chen Xing took a ride back to work by himself, Song Zhi's phone had already rang several times in a row, Chen Xing was annoyed, so he picked up the phone, "Hey, I said that you don't go to class well, why do you keep calling." ”

"What's that, handsome uncle, it's only half past one now, it's not class time yet, and I don't have classes in the afternoon..."

"You don't have classes in the afternoon? I think you're skipping class again. Chen Xing obviously didn't believe it.

"Forget it, don't believe it." Song Zhi's answer was also very single, and then he said, "Handsome guy, don't misunderstand me, I didn't mean to call to disturb you, it was Chen Zhongwei who said that he wanted to invite you to dinner, he said that he offended you last night and wanted to make amends to you in person, he asked me to help make a call, I couldn't shirk it, so I had to call." ”

"You want to make amends to me?" Chen Xing smiled, "Has your problem been solved?" ”

"Well, it's solved, Chen Zhongwei's bastard said that it was all a misunderstanding, so I didn't even have to pay back the five thousand yuan, but I just returned the five thousand yuan to him, he didn't want it, I just threw it down and left."

"Well, that's right, it's the same thing, it's a fact that you asked him to borrow 5,000 yuan, this money is repaid, what is he looking for you for, you don't pay attention to him, and you tell him that I'm not available, and I don't need to make amends."

After Chen Xing and Song Zhi's brief call, when he sat in the car, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, this Chen Zhongwei seems to be just a gangster leader, but he has two or three points of ability, yesterday it was Sun Changsheng who directly inquired about this matter, and he didn't ask Sun Changsheng whether he was the main post or deputy of the Chengxi District Bureau, but even if it was a deputy position, a case instructed by the deputy director, this Chen Zhongwei had to enter the police station at least last night, but today he was able to contact him through Song Zhi to make amends to him, it seems that there is nothing wrong.

In a five-star hotel in Beijing, at the door of the hotel, a father and son looked eagerly.

"It's too cold in this Raushzi in the capital." Lin Mao was wearing a thick cotton coat, Rao was so, Lin Mao still felt cold from head to toe, shivering from time to time, he had never been so cold since he was a child, Jianghai Province is located on the southeast coast, the climate is hot, no matter how cold it is in winter, it will not be below zero, Lin Mao can speak almost unfavorably.

"Didn't you come to the capital once last winter, why didn't I see you crying cold." Lin Gang glanced at his son, don't look at his age, he is really not afraid of freezing, and his body has a good foundation, which was all trained as a soldier before.

"How can it be compared with now, I didn't stay outside much when I was playing in the capital last year, there is heating in the house, and I won't be frozen in the car when I travel, and I will hurry into the house as soon as I get out of the car, where to stand outside like now." Lin Mao disagreed, "I don't know when this Zhang Shao will come, let us wait outside dryly, it's a crime." ”
