Chapter 104: Old Brother
Qin Lin is not from a big family after all, although this old mansion is not a mansion, she is still not used to living in it, and even a little like an arrow.
However, Zhao Bing didn't say to leave, she was naturally embarrassed to mention it, thinking that Zhao Bing hadn't come back for so many years, and the old lady was not in good health, so Zhao Bing should serve in front of the bed.
Secretly, Qin Lin was very envious of Zhao Bing's life, not because of the latter's wealth, but because Old Lady Zhao's love for Zhao Bing was beyond words, and family affection has always been what she lacks.
The old lady's condition is very stable, but Zhao Bing knows very well that this kind of stability is actually just a kind of return to the light, chatting with the old lady every day, recalling many interesting things when he was a child, the old lady always smiled from ear to ear, it seems that all things have really been put down by him, as if he is really enjoying the rare peace and happiness of life.
But the mood of the real soldier sank day by day.
He forced a smile every day, just wanting to be happy in the last period of the old lady.
As for other things, the crisis that the family will face in the future is not within the scope of his consideration.
That night in the park, Zhao Bing and Zhao Xishui almost went off the rails, that night, he slept in Zhao Xishui's room, like when he was a child, he slept on his feet, and then later, the two really shared the same bed, and even hugged each other tightly.
But in the end, they held on to the final bottom line.
After one night, Zhao Xishui seemed to have changed his sex, and rarely appeared in the old mansion.
Zhao Bing knew very well that he could live such an ordinary life, but Zhao Xishui couldn't.
As the pillar of the Zhao family, the Zhao family has come to the most critical juncture, and Zhao Xishui naturally has to make some preparations for the next wind and rain at this time.
Maybe this storm will be so fierce that she can't resist it, but she must do her best to know the sky.
And the business queen's means are naturally very clever, many things that she wanted to do before, she has started to do now, frequent personnel transfers and resource reorganization, she and Zhao Wanxiong father and son can now be said to have started a war, but everyone has controlled each other, the undercurrent is surging, but on the surface it is calm and nothing.
As the largest business empire in China, Zhao's Group has deep roots, and at this moment, everyone in this business empire has already felt that the mountains and rain are about to come and the wind is full of buildings, and many people are facing the most difficult choice in life.
Just like standing in line, it does not involve life and death, but it is far more dangerous than life and death, standing right, the back half of the body is infinitely beautiful, and if you stand wrong, you will be crushed by the wheel of history.
Mrs. Zhao's performance at the birthday banquet will naturally spread out, which will drive the decision-making of countless bigwigs and bosses in the business world, so because of Mrs. Zhao, it will affect the atmosphere of the entire business circle.
Life is like this, if you are ordinary, natural life is smooth, small setbacks, it is harmless, but if it is really mixed to a certain extent, you will worry about many things, these things may not have anything to do with you at all, but you have to worry.
The Zhao Group is going to face a storm next, and because there are too many people involved in this empire, who dares to say that it will not be affected if there are business people who are a little promising.
Everyone is at risk.
Zhao Sihai's life doesn't seem to have changed, just like the family's affairs really have nothing to do with him, he grows vegetables and cooks on the mountain every day, and he will drive a taxi to go out for a few laps in his spare time to earn a few wine money, of course, as the eldest son of Old Lady Zhao, his days on the mountain are a little less than before, and he must find time to come to the old mansion to fulfill his filial piety, just because of Zhao Bing, the number of times he comes is much less than the number of times he should come.
Wang Ruoyu occasionally came to visit the old lady, he rarely communicated with Zhao Bing, but with a look at each other, it seemed that they had a heart, and they all understood.
She hasn't passed the door yet, but she is already like the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family, as Zhao Xishui said, she is more like the future housewife of the Zhao family, and the descendants of the Zhao family also have great respect for her.
It's just that she has never been a daughter-in-law for a long time, even if after a period of getting along, the relationship between her and Zhao Bing has eased, and even has developed a lot of feelings and tacit understanding, but she still has to take care of the feelings of the clan after all.
The old lady of the Wang family has been sick for many years and also needs to be taken care of.
Especially after learning that Mrs. Zhao's physical condition was not good, Wang Demin seemed to be able to really see everything in the dark, and his body was not as good as day by day, in the past, he always liked to chat with his granddaughter, and occasionally went down to the ground for a walk, but now, he put more time on reminiscing about this matter.
Memories are sometimes happy, sometimes painful, and it's easy to feel emotional.
He and Mrs. Zhao came out of a unit, and they have gone through hundreds of battles and battles, a brother of life and death in the trenches, he is Mrs. Zhao's confidant, and the two have also saved each other's lives many times, so the friendship between the two old men is quite pure and deep.
But the times are changing, society is developing, and today, that pure friendship and fateful friendship will also be contaminated by dust.
And although Wang Qingquan is filial to this father, he is not a blind obedience, and the Wang family can have today, in addition to the influence of the old lady Wang, it is also due to Wang Qingquan's deep concealment.
Wang Qingquan doesn't have much reputation, but he is like a top killer hidden in the crowd, making people unguarded, but secretly making a fortune.
The Zhao family has Zhao Xishui and Zhao Wanxiong, a pair of brothers and sisters, which can be called a pair of business pairs, the Wang family does not have these names, and not many people even know the existence of Wang Qingquan, it seems that unconsciously, the Wang family has its current status and achievements.
This is the terrible thing about Wang Qingquan.
In this critical period, Wang Qingquan behaved calmly, he was a very far-sighted person, and he had long been prepared for the future of the Wang family, and as for the wind and rain that the Zhao family would face, he had already foreseen.
The Zhao family and the Wang family are world friends, and the relationship is very good, and the outside world knows this, but the more this is the case, the more Wang Qingquan is walking on thin ice, he can't gamble on the fate of the family, and for him, this is a gamble with zero chance of winning, where would he want to get involved.
However, a pair of children have a different temperament from him, and they are very close to the Zhao family, which makes him often seem helpless.
Before I knew it, Mrs. Wang's birthday had arrived.
Mrs. Wang's little Zhao Hongxing is two years old and eighty-eight this year, because both father and son are extremely low-key, so Mrs. Wang's birthday will never be celebrated.
Take Wang Demin's statement that the eldest brother is like a father, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and Zhao Hongxing is alive for one day, and he has no reason to celebrate his birthday.
He was a very reasonable person.
So the annual birthday banquet is spent in silence, but the Wang family is also a big family, refusing outsiders, but it can't let the descendants of the family not come to celebrate their birthdays.
This year is no exception, early, the Wang family's old house was crowded with clansmen, in the afternoon, the old lady Wang was helped to the middle hall, and the younger generations came to kowtow.
Zhao Bing was naturally also among the birthday worshippers, and when the old lady saw him, he seemed to be in a good mood, and said yes repeatedly, and finally called Wang Ruoyu to him in front of everyone, and personally handed Wang Ruoyu's hand into Zhao Bing's hands.
The old lady's move was quite unpopular, but it had a deep meaning, but fortunately, the parties involved did not object, and Zhao Qingquan could only smile bitterly.
Today's Zhao family is already like dusk, and really smart people are careful to keep their distance, and the old lady is good, so he has to get involved.
However, Zhao Qingquan also understands this, after all, the two old men used to be brothers, and they also experienced that war-torn era together, and the emotions intertwined with blood and fire are not something that ordinary people can understand.
Seven or eight tables of banquets were set up in the evening, and the old lady also did not appear in the banquet, and ate half a bowl of longevity in his room, so he sighed: "It's over in a while, let the juniors go back, I can't live here, but Qingquan, you leave Zhao Bing, and then you come in together, I will have something to say to you later." ”
After the dinner, Zhao Qingquan walked into the room of the old lady Wang with a pair of children and Zhao Bing.
Wang Ruoyu hurriedly stepped forward and patted the old lady on the back, but did not say anything comforting.
The old man has been stubborn all his life, and the most unpleasant thing is comforting words.
At the end, the old lady straightened her waist a little, looked at the people in the room, and asked, "Are they all scattered?" ”
Zhao Qingquan nodded: "It's all scattered, and there are not so many people living here." ”
"Come here." Old lady Wang beckoned to Zhao Bing.
"Grandpa Wang." Zhao Bing approached with a smile, and was grabbed by the old lady, Zhao Bing's smile was a little far-fetched, the old lady was really old, his hands were very rough, the green tendons were bursting up, there was no slightest sense of flesh, a piece of skin wrapped in bones, it made him feel distressed, he thought of his grandfather in the old mansion at this time.
If he could, he hoped that the two grandfathers would never die, because he respected them as people and the glory they once created, they were the heroes of Huaxia and the idols of the whole people.
"Xiaobing, when are you going to marry Ruoyu?" The old lady asked expectantly.
Zhao Bing glanced at Wang Ruoyu with some embarrassment, and the latter lowered his head and couldn't see her expression.
"Father, you are not in good health, don't worry about the juniors, they are still young, Xiao Yu has just returned to Yanjing, this matter is not in a hurry, they also need time to run in, you know, their personalities are a little stubborn." Wang Qingquan saw that Zhao Bing didn't answer, so he smiled and said.
Zhao Bing sighed in his heart, and said apologetically: "Grandpa Wang, Uncle Wang is right, we are still young, wait a minute, this kind of thing must be done naturally." ”
"I think the sooner you get married, the better." Wang Ruofei interjected on the side.
Wang Qingquan glared at him and said, "Adults talk, what are you talking about as a child!" ”
Wang Ruofei pursed his lips and said with a wry smile: "Am I still a child?" ”
Old lady Wang also sighed, let go of Zhao Bing's hand, let everyone sit down, looked at the ceiling with both eyes, and said: "I have been dreaming these days, always dreaming of many things before, so I think of many things, my life, thanks to Brother Zhao saved several times, otherwise, there would be no you, and there would be no current Wang family, it is all empty words, people, you have to know gratitude, not to mention, I and Brother Zhao are friends of life and death, this kind of friendship, you current people, will not understand, but unfortunately I am old, It's really old, in fact, I always feel like I'm going to die-"
"Grandpa, you will definitely live a long life." Zhao Bing hurriedly said.
Old lady Wang waved her hand and said, "You know grandpa's character, so you don't like to listen to these words." ”
Zhao Bing's face turned red.
"I'm telling the truth, maybe these words, you won't have a chance to hear them in the future, I always feel that I can't die first, I'm dead, and I have to wait for him to go down, so I have been holding my breath, last night I dreamed again, Brother Zhao drank with me in a dream, and said that he was not in good health, and he might soon have to go below, he said that he still has many wishes that have not been fulfilled, and he still wants to see you get married and hold your great-grandson, so I comforted him and said, Brother Zhao, don't worry, children have their own children's blessings, let's not think about them, don't be afraid, Below, we're still brothers, and we're still good brothers......"
