In the courtyard of the back street of Miaoshan, Zhou Fan saw the majestic old man, at this moment the old man was carrying a hoe, cultivating a small vegetable patch in the yard, and the surrounding nurses were carefully surrounding the old man, worried that the old man would accidentally hurt there.

Since his rebirth, Zhou Fan has seen this familiar figure in front of him for the first time, as the eldest grandson and the only grandson of the Zhou family, Zhou Fan should have had high hopes for this old man since he was a child, but Zhou Fan's performance has not been recognized by the old man, or deviated from the old man's expectations for his children and grandchildren, so all along, this old man seems to have no good face for Zhou Fan.

"Grandpa." Zhou Fan shouted softly, and carefully pulled Huanhuan who was standing aside, the little girl is obviously the same as Zhou Fan, she has not caused trouble since she was a child, and it is no wonder that in front of the majestic old man, she showed a trace of timidity, and she was afraid that the old man would scold herself.

The old man glanced up at Zhou Fan and the others, and finished cultivating the last two rows of land by himself, then clapped his hands and washed his hands in the basin brought by the nurse.

"Grandpa, wipe your hands." Zhou Fan took a towel from the side and carefully handed it to the old man.

The old man took it, wiped his hands gently, and then said to a soldier beside him: "Let Sister-in-law Yang prepare more food in the evening, and let the children stay to eat." ”

The orderly nodded, and was about to turn around, but the old man said, "Let Sister-in-law Yang help prepare a portion of Dongpo meat." ”

When he was a child, the old man took Zhou Fan for a while, at that time Zhou Fan seemed to like to eat this Dongpo meat the most, although now Zhou Fan's taste has changed a lot, and he doesn't like to eat greasy dishes, but Dongpo meat has always been Zhou Fan's favorite, I didn't expect the old man to remember the dishes he likes to eat.

If an ordinary family, it is obviously not a strange thing for a grandfather to remember the dishes that his grandson likes to eat, but in the heart of this high-ranking old man, he can still think about what his grandson likes to eat, but Zhou Fan felt that the corners of his eyes were a little astringent, in fact, this old man was also an ordinary person.

"Grandpa, I'll help you." This grandfather seems to be a little closer, and his feelings for this old man come from a deeper place in his heart.

The old man smiled and shook his head, but he didn't shake off Zhou Fan's hand holding him, the old man's hand was very generous, Zhou Fan still remembered when he was naughty when he was a child, the old man's hand fell on his buttocks, but he was not merciless at all, and because of this incident, Zhou Fan has always been afraid of the old man from the heart, and he has always been too close to the old man, but now holding these hands, Zhou Fan feels a little relieved, maybe grandpa is old, but it is also because of grandpa's relationship that Zhou Fan's family can stand. It is these big hands that have always guarded themselves and the Zhou family.

Even if this old man has been down from the position of the Politburo for so many years, but for so many years, the old man has always supported his children and grandchildren and the future of the Zhou family.

Zhou Fan wiped the corners of his eyes vigorously, trying to keep his tears from falling, but who was the old man, and how did Zhou Fan's small actions escape the old man's eyes.

"I heard that I entered the National Development and Reform Commission, and I was also promoted to the deputy department, and it seems that my performance is not bad." The old man sat on the Taishi chair in the middle, and Zhou Fan stood beside the old man.

The old man has been staying in the courtyard of Miaoshan, and he has rarely gone out over the years, and he has lived an isolated life, but for Zhou Fan's every move, the old man is obviously still very concerned, whether it is Zhou Ziming, Zhou Zishan, or Zhang Jindong told the old man Zhou Fan's news, but about Zhou Fan's every move, the old man obviously remembered it, and it also reflected a grandfather's concern for his grandson.

"Actually, I haven't done enough, and it's all up to the third uncle to help me get promoted this time." Zhou Fan said softly.

When the old man was alive, he didn't show that he wanted Zhou Ziming and Zhou Zishan brothers to work together, but when he was dying, Zhou Fan still remembered that the old man's only wish was to hope that the two brothers could be harmonious, but until the old man closed his eyes, this wish was never realized, perhaps this is the old man's biggest regret.

"Hmm." The old man nodded lightly and didn't say anything more.

"Grandpa, in fact, you also know the relationship between my father and the third uncle, and the two of them also listen to you the most, if you say it, their relationship will not be so stiff." Zhou Fan said cautiously.

The old man was slightly stunned for a moment, and suddenly reached out and patted Zhou Fan's hand and said: "Some things are not so simple, and some knots cannot be untied in one sentence, Jindong came to see me some time ago and said that you are sensible a lot, and you have to work hard in the ministry." ”

Zhou Fan nodded lightly and said, "Grandpa, don't worry." ”

The old man is very clear about the relationship between the children, but Zhou Ziming and Zhou Zishan brothers have become this situation, and the old man Zhou will also bear part of the responsibility, even if the brothers really care about the majesty of the old man, this will ease some of the relationship, but after a hundred years of the old man, will the relationship between the two brothers become more and more stiff, this is also the problem that the old man is most worried about.

The old man undoubtedly hoped that the two brothers would be able to untie the knot by themselves, and only in this way could the old man really settle down.

Zhou Fan sighed slightly, but he hoped that the relationship between his father and the third uncle could really be relieved from his heart, and before the old man left, he really saw the scene of family harmony, which could be regarded as fulfilling the old man's wish.

The old man nodded, smiled and patted Zhou Fan's hand, compared to the previous attitude towards Zhou Fan, the old man was obviously quite satisfied with Zhou Fan's performance, although there was no meaning to praise Zhou Fan in his words, but being able to be reprimanded by the old man was already a sign of progress.

"Grandpa." Hearing the old man greet him, Zhou Huan frowned, walked cautiously in front of the old man, and saw Zhou Huan's timid appearance, the old man couldn't help but have no good tone.

"You, such a big person, are still so ignorant." The old man wanted to open his mouth and reprimand.

was reprimanded by his grandfather, Zhou Huan could only bow his head carefully, compared to the image of the female devil outside, now it is a little pitiful, and it is also embarrassing for this little girl to follow Zhou Fan and a few people to come over to be reprimanded by Old Man Zhou, I think the little girl's heart is not good.

"Grandpa, Huanhuan is a child, it's inevitable that she is usually naughty, and what can a girl do, don't scold her, she won't dare to come to see you next time." Zhou Fan opened his mouth to persuade, and when he finished speaking, Zhou Fan felt a burst of worry, after all, in the entire Zhou family, it was Zhou Fan who dared to talk to the old man Zhou like this, if the old man wanted to reprimand that person, no one in the family could persuade him, even if it was the second generation of Zhou Zishan and Zhou Ziming, they basically didn't dare to talk more.

I don't know if it was because Zhou Fan's recent performance was recognized by the old man, or because of the old man's love for Zhou Fan, the eldest grandson, hearing Zhou Fan's persuasion, the old man just glared at Zhou Huan fiercely, but he didn't say anything more.

The old man's eyes glanced at his cousin Zhao Ming, he just sighed softly, and seemed to be too lazy to reprimand Zhao Ming, when he looked at Xu You, the little girl of the Xu family stood up and said, "Hello Grandpa Zhou, my name is Xu You, and I am the daughter of Xu Shaoyun's family." ”

The little girl introduced herself generously and decently, but Old Man Zhou was obviously not very familiar with Xu Shaoyun, Zhou Fan whispered a name in the old man's ear, and Zhou Laozi nodded with a smile and said: "It was originally the granddaughter of Xu Cripple, is your grandfather okay?" ”

Old man Xu in the Anti-Japanese War, the leg was broken by the enemy's shells, although now connected to the prosthesis, but the older generation of people call the old man Xu lame, to say that the leg disease left by the Anti-Japanese War, that is also a witness to history, this Xu lame is not an insult to the old man, but from another angle, the praise of the older generation of revolutionary martyrs, of course, as a younger generation, naturally will not call the old man Xu lame Xu, that is disrespectful to the elders, can call this nickname, There are only the generation of Old Man Zhou, even if it is the second generation of people like Zhou Ziming and Zhou Ziming, when they call Old Man Xu, they will inevitably call Commander Xu.

As the commander of the Seventh Army Corps, Old Man Xu obviously does not have many opportunities to cooperate with Old Man Zhou's Fourth Front Army, speaking of which, the Xu family should be closer to the Eastern Anhui Department and even the Academy Department, but as one of the few old men in the army, the influence of the Xu family in the army is obviously undoubted.

"Grandpa is in good health, he often says that he wants to find Grandpa Zhou to kill a few games, and when he played chess with you, he was shaved by you." The little girl of the Xu family is obviously very good at talking, but when she said this, Old Man Zhou had a smile on her face.

It's just that Zhou Fan still knows a little about his grandfather's chess skills, and this chess skill is obviously not particularly proficient, but he heard that Old Man Xu's chess skills are good, and there is still some water in the words of the little girl of the Xu family, even if the grandfather understands it very well in his heart, but since he can make his grandfather happy, Zhou Fan will not expose the little girl's lies.

It's rare to have so many people to eat with him, the old man is obviously in a good mood, he is busy, and he also sandwiches dishes for a few juniors, but it makes Zhou Fan a little flattered, after all, a character like Old Man Zhou, even in the eyes of his children and grandchildren, is also high.

Zhou Fan also tried to pick up vegetables for the old man, but the old man stretched out his finger and pointed to his teeth, sighed and said, "I'm old, I can't bite anymore." There is a feeling of twilight of heroes in and out of these words, which inevitably makes Zhou Fanjue feel sad.

Zhou Fan remembered that the old man was two years later, because of a serious illness, his body and bones gradually collapsed, and he could only lie in bed in the fourth year.
