Chapter 654: Trial
Daihe City is a small seaside city only 200 kilometers away from Beijing. The scenery is beautiful and the climate is pleasant, and many leaders like to come here to recuperate and avoid the government in the summer. Some retired veteran cadres have lived here for a long time. It is precisely because of this that there is a very special place here - a sanatorium directly under it.
The sanatorium covers a huge area, and in its very central location, there is even a natural hill. Inside, elegant villas and hotels are scattered among the trees, flowers and plants. The air quality here is excellent, and it can be regarded as natural oxygen.
On the west side of the nursing home, in a small gray two-story building with a single courtyard, an old man with snow-white hair and extraordinary bearing is leisurely holding a kettle and watering flowers in the small garden in the middle of the courtyard. The flowers and plants in the garden are not precious species, but they grow very well, bright red and green, and they look pleasing to the eye.
Not far behind the old man, in a small pavilion, charcoal fire was boiling water, and a white gas was bubbling out, and a pair of exquisite tea sets were placed on the stone table.
A black red flag car was silently parked outside the courtyard, and the guards standing guard at the gate walked over, saluted the car, and then politely asked the driver to show his ID. Although this car has been in and out of here countless times, the rules that should be in place are still not left behind.
After inspecting the car, the guards returned to their posts, made a stand, and immediately signaled for clearance.
The car drove to a small parking lot in the yard and came to a steady stop. Immediately, the rear doors on both sides opened, and a man and a woman walked out from both sides.
The girl is tall and wears a black trench coat. It also reveals his beautiful figure. A shawl, black and shiny hair, and a pretty face full of energy.
The men are casually dressed in laid-back attire, although there is no such thing as being noble and elegant. But when the clothes are worn on the body, there is a low-key and calm everywhere.
These two people are naturally Chen Siying and Liu Yufan. Yesterday night, Siying called her grandfather and made an appointment to meet today.
The old man is eighty-six years old this year, and although his body is still healthy, he is old after all, and he has come here to recuperate. Normally, it's not easy to meet customers. Even his children are extremely difficult to see him. So don't look at today's just a seemingly casual meeting, but behind it, I don't know how many children of my family are envious. The old Chen family is a powerful family, and there are countless elites in politics and business under his disciples, but among the third generation, only this Chen Siying is particularly favored by the old man. Even four years ago, she blatantly violated the marriage arranged by her family. went abroad to study alone, although the old man had a big temper back then, but after the incident, he still cared about her very much.
For the old man, as long as he wants to know. There is nothing in the world that can hide from his ears and eyes. Naturally, she is also clear about why her granddaughter would be so resistant to the arranged marriage. For the man who abducted his granddaughter's heart, he was also very angry in his heart. But he did not take external intervention, but chose a kind of contemplation, which is also a kind of political wisdom.
He was watching to see if the man had the strength to bear his most beloved granddaughter.
The development of things was somewhat unexpected to him. In the past four years, he has seen too many miracles in this little boy who is more than 60 years younger than him. Until now, he finally has to admit that this person can no longer be looked at with the original eyes, and he already has the capital that both himself and the country must pay attention to.
Although in a country with a bureaucratic system, power will always be more important than money most of the time, but it also depends on the difference between the two. A large multinational corporation with assets of more than 10 billion US dollars is an important existence that cannot be ignored even for the world hegemon of the United States, let alone a country that is still in development and has a very thin foundation. Although many Chinese people will proudly say that our country is vast and rich, but in the hearts of these real senior leaders, they know their own affairs, and if they compare with themselves, they are more developed and stronger than before, but in the world, the country is indeed still very weak, and there are still too many aspects to work hard and progress. The most important thing is to have some truly powerful enterprises that can provide a steady stream of fresh blood and advanced technology for the country's development. In this regard, there are many examples of both the United States and the mud bombardment.
It is precisely because of this that today he decided to formally contact this young man, whether it is public or private.
"Grandpa." Seeing the old man who was bending down to concentrate on watering the flowers, Si Ying suddenly took a few steps forward and shouted crisply.
"Do you know to come to see your grandfather? It's not easy. The old man was still watering his flowers, and did not even look back at her.
However, Si Ying has already seen a lot of this kind of trick. Others look at their grandfather, who is the leader of a country, with infinite majesty, but in private, Siying knows that this grandfather still has a naughty temper in his bones. It's like being angry at the moment, and it's just a deliberate pretense.
"Grandpa, I'll help you water the flowers." Si Ying said with a smile, not at all unhappy because of her grandfather's attitude just now, and reached out to snatch the kettle in his hand as she spoke.
"Go, go, don't make trouble, just your hairy hands and feet, let you water it, don't you all water my flowers to death." The old man waved his hand angrily, then straightened up and casually put the kettle on the flower stand beside him.
"Hee-hee, grandpa, don't underestimate people, in college, I took flowers." As she spoke, Si Ying stepped forward and walked towards the gazebo with her grandfather in her arms. However, the old man waved his hand and said vaguely: "Okay, girl, my old man is not yet to the point where he can't walk." So saying, he went straight to the pavilion, reached out and took the kettle that had been poured out, and placed it in the corner of the table.
Throughout. The old man didn't even glance at Liu Yufan, who was standing in the courtyard, as if he didn't exist. Liu Yufan was not in a hurry, and stood quietly in this courtyard. Looking around, it seems that he is admiring this quiet scenery.
"Grandpa!" Seeing that her grandfather was deliberately hanging Liu Yufan, Siying couldn't look at it. Pulling his arm, he whispered softly.
"Hey, the girl is outgoing, it's not going to be anything, just stand for a while, and feel distressed?" Looking at his granddaughter, the old man looked helpless. He will not blink an eye in the face of countless high-ranking officials and the changing international situation. But in the face of this favorite granddaughter, she has no temper at all, which may be one thing to one thing.
"Alright, call him over." The old man waved his hand and motioned for his granddaughter to call herself.
"Thank you, grandpa!" Si Ying smiled sweetly at him, and then beckoned to Liu Yufan in the courtyard and motioned for him to come over.
Although Liu Yufan seemed to be enjoying the scenery in this courtyard. But his gaze never stayed away from the pavilion for a moment, and when Si Ying beckoned to him, he walked over as soon as possible.
"Hello grandpa." Seeing this old man who had frequently appeared on TV, Liu Yufan still felt a little pressure.
"Sit down." Facing Liu Yufan's greeting. The old man replied lightly, and then looked up at him.
Just at this glance, Liu Yufan felt that he had a feeling of being seen through. Although the old man's gaze was cloudy, Liu Yufan could feel that there was a penetrating power in it, and under this gaze, Rao is spiritual cultivation was far superior to ordinary people, and he still had a moment of gaffe.
Resisting the urge to avoid his gaze, Liu Yufan still tried to maintain his demeanor.
"Grandpa, don't have a fierce face." Looking at her grandfather's appearance, Siying was naturally dissatisfied again.
"Hehe, you girl." The old man glanced at Si Ying a little helplessly, and then looked at Liu Yufan in front of him again, but his gaze was not as compelling as just now.
"Will you get it?" Pointing to the tea set in front of him, the old man asked lightly.
"It's a little bit, not fine." Liu Yufan adjusted his breathing and tried his best to calm his tone.
"Well, let's make a pot." As he spoke, the old man began to talk to his granddaughter again, and hung him aside.
Reaching out to pick up the high-grade purple gauze pot with boiling water, the moment he touched the handle of the pot, Liu Yufan suddenly felt that his heart, which had just been throbbing, calmed down again.
During his year in Cishan, Liu Yufan repeated several of the same things almost every day: listening to the stereo, drinking tea, and going for a walk by the river. Although he had never learned the tea ceremony, he was already familiar with this set of procedures when making tea.
Opening the tea can, Liu Yufan didn't think about it, he poured the tea leaves into the pot according to the amount he liked, and then raised his hand to flush the boiling boiling water into it.
Seeing Liu Yufan's move of making tea, the old man's eyebrows jumped slightly, but he didn't say anything, and still chatted with his granddaughter.
After filtering out the tea soup for the first time, Liu Yufan filled the teapot with water again, but this time, the aroma was even stronger.
After turning over the three tea Gu upside down on the bamboo curtain one by one, and scalding them with hot water, Liu Yufan reached out and took the teapot and poured the tea soup into the tea Gu one by one.
The color of the soup is bright and yellow, and the fragrance of tea is compelling, smelling this aroma, it seems that people's internal organs have become comforted.
"Grandpa, it's ready, please." Liu Yufan brought a cup of tea to the old man, nodded and said politely. Then he took a full cup again and put it in front of Siying.
"Yes." The old man said, picked up the tea Gu, put it under his nose and turned around, took another sip, frowned and said, "It's too strong." ”
"If the tea is not strong, how can you drink it?" Liu Yufan said as he picked up the tea Gu beside him, sniffed its fragrance first, and then took a sip, only to feel that the entrance was sweet and fragrant, and the aftertaste was endless. He has been on the Magnetic Mountain for the past year, and the Tieguanyin he drank was also the best that Li Xin bought for him from the original product, and the price was better than gold, but after drinking this tea, Liu Yufan only felt that the ones he drank before were just ordinary products after all, but they were a big difference in comparison.
"Hmph, stinky boy, do you know that this big red robe only produces so many catties a year, and your way of drinking is simply a tyrannical thing!" The old man said with some unhappiness. As a former national leader, he naturally would not be because of such mundane things. Angry with a junior, but after retiring, the temperament returns to nature. But it's a little more child's temper. This tea, as he said, is produced on the old trees in Wuyi Mountain. It is extremely precious, and leaders like them can only get a few taels each. The old man is so good, just now Liu Yufan poured a lot of it in at once, and he was really a little distressed.
However, he saw the young man's demeanor when he was just making tea. The old man has read countless people in his life, whether he is really calm or fake calm. Definitely can't escape his eyes. He was very puzzled, this young man was obviously still a little nervous when he saw him just now, but when he was making tea, he was completely forgetful, and that tension disappeared at all.
And, although the cup of tea he brewed was a little stronger. But the whole set of actions is smooth and natural. This is also in line with the quiet and inactive purpose of the tea ceremony. This young man, looking at it with all his eyes, that is, the age of his twenties, how could he be so cultivated in his mind?
"Huh. Grandpa, I don't think so, it doesn't matter how good or bad the tea is, what matters is the mood of the tea drinker. Liu Yufan said, after the tea soup in the cup cooled down a little, he raised his head and drank it in a big gulp, but he didn't swallow it immediately, but let the tea soup roll in his throat and mouth, and waited for the bitter feeling in the fragrance to soak through, and then he swallowed it and let out a sigh.
"It's delicious." Liu Yufan praised it, picked up the teapot in front of him, and poured another cup for himself.
"Hmph, cow chewing peonies!" Looking at Liu Yufan's tea-drinking style, the old man laughed and scolded again, but he was not as stern as just now.
Two cups of tea entered his throat, and the old man stared at Liu Yufan and said: "You are not small, you dare to abduct my granddaughter, look at what you mean, and you are still going to make her small?" ”
Liu Yufan didn't expect this old man to say such a thing with a solemn face, and he was almost choked when he was drinking tea.
Si Ying said coquettishly: "Grandpa, what are you talking about so ugly, what are you doing, what are you doing as a grandfather?" ”
It's just that she said this, but the old man just didn't hear it, and his sharp eyes were still staring at Liu Yufan.
"Grandpa, I can only say sorry for this incident, but Siying and I really like each other, and I think you know that. As for the thing you just said, people are no longer there, what's the point of saying that? ”
Waving his hand at Liu Yufan, the old man continued: "I heard about that girl. You can be regarded as affectionate and righteous to her, don't talk about it. I'll just say one thing, what are you going to do with Xiaoying? ”
"I'll marry her." When Liu Yufan heard this, he didn't think about it at all, and blurted out directly.
Hearing Liu Yufan's words, Siying's heart was both surprised and happy, looking at Yufan, her heart was pounding, and her palms were sweating slightly. Although she had been thinking about this day for a long time in her heart, she was still a little excited when she really heard this sentence from Liu Yufan's mouth, and it was in front of her grandfather.
"Marry her? Don't you have another Zhao Ling'er? What are you going to do? The old man looked at Liu Yufan and said slowly.
Hearing Zhao Ling'er's name coming out of his mouth, Liu Yufan didn't feel strange at all. He knew very well what the person in front of him was, and he didn't want to hide it from him. It's just that before Liu Yufan could say anything, Siying on the side hurriedly opened her mouth.
"Grandpa, you don't have to worry about Sister Ling'er's affairs, I don't mind. Actually, she was quite pitiful, and that incident was an accident. ”
"You don't need to say it!" The old man glared at his granddaughter, as if he was very angry at her for being so unprincipled and open to an outsider. But after all, it was his own granddaughter, and he really wanted to be angry, but he couldn't get angry.
"Ling'er, now that you know about it, you must also know the process. Yes, it was an accident, but as a man, I have to take responsibility. Liu Yufan plucked up the courage to explain. To be honest, when he said this, he was a little lacking in confidence, after all, in front of other people's elders, he openly said that he had another woman, and whoever said this would be weak-hearted.
"Hmph, if you want me to see, you're just making excuses for hugging left and right!" The old man stared at him unkindly and said.
After listening to the old man's words, Liu Yufan didn't squeak, he knew that everything he said at the moment was wrong.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it. Let's talk about another thing. The old man said, looked at Liu Yufan and said: "It is said that you kid can be regarded as having some ability, in a few years, it is not bad to be able to achieve this level of enterprise, with your conditions, you can barely be worthy of my girl." It's just that there is one thing, I still need your consent, you have done it, I will not stop Xiaoying's matter, otherwise forget it. The old man said, looking at Liu Yufan, waiting for his next step.
"Grandpa, say it, as long as I can do it." Liu Yufan looked at Siying's grandfather and said without hesitation. Si Ying has always been in love with him, at this moment, it is not a condition, as long as the two of them can be together, no matter how many conditions, Liu Yufan will not hesitate to agree.
"You bought Suo Ni, presumably those core technologies are also in your hands, I don't want anything else, the little devil's optical imaging technology is still very advanced, our army needs this technology very much, I want you to contribute it to the country for free, do you agree?"
"Grandpa, how can you do this!" Hearing this, Si Ying immediately said dissatisfied. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
