Back in Tianhai, Zhao Bing went to Han Xue, which was a real farewell.

Han Xue didn't say anything, but when he left, she helped him straighten his collar, and then took the initiative to kiss him for the first time.

"Greetings to the old lady and your family for me."

Han Xue said with a smile.

At this time, she did not have the demeanor of a strong woman at all, like a virtuous wife who sent her husband away.

Zhao Bing nodded and promised, "I will definitely introduce you to grandpa." ”

Han Xue's face was slightly red, but she didn't avoid it, and smiled but didn't answer.

In the manor on the outskirts, Zhao Bing, Mo Xiaotian and others had a meal.

This meal was very hearty, Zhao Bing personally cooked, and also brought a lot of wine, and even brought a lot of fat cattle.

The fat cow was finally full, and he was very happy, and Mo Xiaotian and the others were naturally very happy.

During the Spring Festival this year, many people here have not returned home, some of them are homeless, and some of them have no mistakes, such as protecting the Lu family's father and daughter, as well as Han Xue's safety.

Of course, everyone already regards the Legion as home, and there are more such people.

"Boss, go home for the New Year with peace of mind, greet your family for me, Tianhai will hand it over to us, and you won't be disappointed." Mo Xiaotian solemnly promised Zhao Bing.

"I'm relieved to have you here."

Zhao Bing stood at the gate of the manor and replied with a smile.

Then a group of people raised their right fists very seriously and put them on their chests and saluted Zhao Bing.

Zhao Bing returned the salute.

Instead of going back to the villa immediately, Zhao Bing made a phone call and went to a nearby tavern.

It was a very small tavern, it was late afternoon, there were no guests, and the owner was snoring at the counter.

There is no shopkeeper, and the boss here is alone.

The boss's surname is Wu, his name is Wu Cong, a middle-aged man who seems to be very kind, and when he walks, he is limping.

When Zhao Bing entered the door, Wu Cong immediately woke up, and when he saw Zhao Bing, he was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Is it an old rule?" ”。

"Yes, the old rules." Zhao Bing sat in a corner with a smile.

Wu Cong brought a plate of peanuts, brought a piece of beer, and then went to the kitchen to fry a few side dishes.

When he came out, there was one more person opposite Zhao Bing.

That's Li Le.

The two were silent, just drinking vigorously.

After drinking a piece of beer, Zhao Bing clapped his hands.

"Okay, don't forget to pay for the drink."

After speaking, Zhao Bing walked away.

Wu Cong walked up to Li Le, who shook his head with a wry smile: "Or, Uncle Wu will also come and drink some?" ”

"I'm old, how can I compare to you young people, but it's okay to drink a little."

"Uncle Wu back then—"

"The heroes don't mention the courage of the year, come on, I'll drink a bottle." Wu Cong flicked his fingers and opened a bottle of beer, his movements were clean and neat, and he was extraordinarily chic.

Zhao Bing returned to the villa, Qin Lin had already packed up his things, and the three girls were sitting on the sofa watching TV, and it could be seen that Lu Jia and Xia Yu were a little reluctant to leave Qin Lin.

"In the past, Linlin spent the New Year with me." Lu Jia was a little unhappy and said to Zhao Bing.

Zhao Bing smiled: "We'll be back soon." ”

"I don't believe your words anymore." Lu Jia pouted.

Qin Lin comforted: "Really, we will come back after the New Year, and it will only be half a month before and after, and you are not a child, I am not here, so you are not happy?" ”

"I'm just not happy." Lu Jia said very seriously: "So-well, I wish you a happy new year!" ”

Zhao Bing stood up: "I'll cook tonight, whatever you want to eat, just open your mouth, all of them will satisfy your stomach." ”

"I'm here to help, too." Qin Lin said.

Xia Yu said: "I wash the vegetables." ”

"I-I watch you cook." Lu Jiadao.

Then, Zhao Bing really cooked, Qin Lin and Xia Yu started to fight, and Lu Jia stood at the kitchen door, watching silently.

This meal, everyone ate very happily, and the dishes on the table were all delicious.

After the food treatment, Lu Jia was in a much better mood, and finally waved his hand: "Play cards tonight, all night!" ”

If it had been before, Zhao Bing would have done everything possible to shirk it.

But today, Zhao Bing happily agreed.

As a result, it was Lu Jia who was unwilling, thought about it, and said: "Forget it, I'm still sleepy, I won't stay up all night, but let's play a few games, tonight, no one is allowed to release the water, you win, when I send you the New Year's red envelope." ”

Xia Yu was still serving tea and handing out water on the side, and no one released water tonight, which was unprecedented and formal.

But in the end, Lu Jia and Qin Lin won, and Zhao Bing lost alone.

"You deliberately let the water go, right?" When it was over, Lu Jia frowned.

Zhao Bing raised his hand and swore: "Heaven testifies, I really didn't release the water, and I was unlucky." ”

Lu Jia snorted, laughed, and pulled Xia Yu upstairs to sleep.

Early the next morning, Zhao Bing and Qin Lin left the villa, and when they were leaving, Lu Jia and Xia Yu delivered them to the door, and Lu Jia brought a box from the room and handed it to Zhao Bing.

"What is this?" Zhao Bing was stunned.

"The New Year's gifts for your family, how to distribute them, are clearly written, you can just look at them yourself when you go back." Lu Jia pouted.

Zhao Bing opened the box and immediately frowned: "Will it be too much, too expensive." ”

Lu Jia was unhappy, and glared: "Can't I have money?" Am I not willful? ”。

Ahem, Zhao Bing was speechless, but he accepted it very happily.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Zhao Bing's trip back to Yanjing, except for Zhao Xishui, almost no one knows.

Therefore, at the airport, the person who picked up the airport was only Zhao Xishui.

This is very good, although he was born in a big family, Zhao Bing does not want the scene of shouting and hugging, or maybe there is a group of old men and old ladies who say something sensational.

He was long past that age.

Now he has become much more mature and stable.

In Tianhai, or elsewhere, Zhao Bing behaved very cheerful and outgoing.

But in Yanjing, perhaps the city's heritage is too deep, and he can't always be cheerful.

Zhao Xishui still doesn't look old, she is still so beautiful, especially her aura is strong, so that the place where she stands has become a forbidden area within ten meters.

Not far away, the ordinary black sedan was still parked.

That was Liu Jian, the former top master of the Dragon Soul Army, but now, he was willing to become Zhao Xishui's shadow and bodyguard.

To love someone, you don't have to have it, maybe it's to guard.

Many people will say this and have expressed their willingness to do so, but there is no one in ten thousand who can actually do it.

Liu Jian also thinks so, this is his most simple idea, but it is very great.

Opening the trunk, Zhao Bing put his luggage in.

"Auntie!"

Zhao Bing shouted, and Qin Lin followed.

Zhao Xishui smiled rarely, patted Zhao Bing's shoulder, touched Qin Lin's head again, and said, "It's good to come back, let's go, the old lady has been waiting for you for a long time." ”

The car gradually drove away, and Liu Jian drove the car and followed from a distance.

The alley is still quiet.

The old house does not have the songs and laughter of the past, maybe it will be more lively during the Spring Festival, but now, it is very deserted, and there is a silence of the sunset and the west mountain, which makes Zhao Bing's heart also heavy.

In the middle courtyard, two gray-haired old men were playing chess, one was reading a book, and the other was practicing boxing.

When they saw Zhao Bing, they all nodded slightly.

Zhao Bing clenched his fists and greeted them.

Backyard, quietly.

With apprehension, Zhao Bing walked into the old lady's room.

Zhao Hongxing sat on the bed, looking no different from the last time he left, he held a bowl of medicinal sweat in his hand, slowly drank it, put it on the small square table on the side, and then laughed.

"You're back!?"

Zhao Bing nodded, walked over, knelt in front of the bed, and kowtowed to the old lady.

Qin Lin also knelt down, but didn't dare to raise his head to speak.

The old man received this worship, and he also knew that perhaps, this was the last time Zhao Bing kowtowed to him, or maybe he would kowtow after he breathed, but he couldn't see it.

He is an atheist and does not believe in ghosts and gods, so he does not shirk or be polite.

The grandson kowtows to his grandfather, it is a matter of course, he thinks so.

"Grandpa, how are you doing?" Zhao Bing sat on the edge of the bed and took the pulse of the old man.

The old lady let him take the pulse, and said with a slight smile: "As before, you can still eat two bowls of rice." ”

Zhao Bing breathed a sigh of relief, but there was still a faint melancholy between his eyebrows.

Qin Lin stood aside, extremely well-behaved.

"Linlin, come over and let grandpa take a look." The old lady beckoned.

Qin Lin hurried over and called out to grandpa timidly.

"Good boy!"

The old lady touched Linlin's head, patted her hand, and said, "I've been waiting for you to come back for the New Year, perhaps, this is the last time I'll accompany you for the New Year." ”

Zhao Bing pursed his lips and didn't speak, feeling a little sad in his heart.

Qin Lin was a little overwhelmed.

The old lady was naturally not her own grandfather, but she felt very close, so she was also very sad when she heard such words.

"Grandpa will definitely live a long life." Qin Lin didn't know how to comfort her.

Haha smiled, the old lady said: "Good boy, I will really please grandpa, but in life, there will always be a day to leave, birth, old age, sickness and death, is the law of nature, you don't have to be sad, even if you can really live a hundred years old, you don't have to live for more than ten years, and finally you have to go to the Hades Palace to report, grandpa is not afraid of death, you don't have to be sad, in this life, grandpa has died countless times, and if you die again, what!" ”

These words are full of pride, as if he has really taken life and death lightly.

But in fact, where is he willing to take his last breath.

He is the pillar of the Zhao family, although he is over ninety years old, he is still the same.

The reason why he has to hold on to his breath and is reluctant to die is because he is reluctant to let go of the children and grandchildren of the Zhao family, and he wants to buy some time for the Zhao family.

After his death, the Zhao family will suffer the greatest catastrophe in history, either break out of the cocoon and be reborn, or collapse, and he naturally does not want to see the Zhao family go into decline.

I don't want to be rich, but I want peace.

But if the Zhao family wants to be safe, they can only continue to be rich.

Zhao Xishui sat silently on the side, smiling slightly, as if nothing could move her.

She is the daughter of the old lady Zhao, even if she is an adopted daughter, she is also a member of the Zhao family, and she is deeply loved and respected by the old lady.

Tarzan is on the top, and her face does not change, this is something she must do.

She continued the spirit and hope of the old lady.

Qin Lin didn't know how to comfort the old lady, but she felt a little bitter and sad in her heart.

The same is true for Zhao Bing.

After half a ring, the old lady said to Zhao Xishui: "Xishui, you take Linlin out, arrange her, I want to chat with Xiaobing alone." ”

"Yes, father."

Zhao Xishui stood up, nodded with Linlin, and the two walked out together, and closed the door with their hands.
