Tang Yunguo's birthday has always been very low-key, but Zhizhi's relatives and confidants know that one day a year, Tang Yunguo will be different from usual. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

On the day of his birthday, if there is no accident, Tang Yunguo will generally take a day off, the main reason is because on that day, the children of the Tang family are generally together, Tang Yunguo's son, daughter, grandson, granddaughter will come to give him a birthday, and the family enjoys the joy of family together For Tang Yunguo, it is only this day that can delay the birthday of the secretary of the provincial party committee, which is definitely a big deal in the political arena of Jiangnan, but Tang Yunguo has always been very disgusted with the birthday celebration, and he is not emotional, and he is an ordinary person, etc., it is simply impossible. I didn't dare to give him a birthday, and the people who were able to enter the Tangyun country gate on that day and not be invited out were definitely only five people in the entire Jiangnan Province political circles.

Zhang Qingyun knew the news of Tang Yunguo's birthday, considering that Tang Yunguo had something to say first, he did not come in person, but gave a little gift to the past, which can be regarded as a distraction.

As for other people in the provincial party committee and provincial government, some people have the heart to give gifts, but they don't dare, for fear of self-defeating, and this category accounts for the majority. And those who are not polite like Zhang Qingyun are basically people with quite status.

The people below basically don't know about it, and even many people in the real power department don't know about it. Through this festival, we can roughly see who the real core of power in Jiangnan is, and in fact, there are indeed many people who are proud to know about it, as if knowing this matter symbolizes that they are in the core circle of power.

Although it is a low-key birthday, the birthday banquet scene is still lively on the day, "the rich have distant relatives in the mountains, and the poor no one asks in the downtown area" Like Tang Yunguo's situation, I don't know how many people sharpened their heads and wanted to get closer to him, although I don't know how many people were turned away, but the base is too large, and after layers of filtration, this courtyard can't go.

At birthday banquets like this, "Tang Yunguo himself rarely shows up, so he only comes out to say a few words to relatives and friends when the meal is opened, and his children greet guests at other good times."

In fact, in a sense, occasions like this have long exceeded the meaning of congratulating Tang Yunguo on his birthday, and the people who can come here today basically represent that they have more or less energy that others do not have.

Things gather like people, people are grouped, everyone is the same level of people, "being able to know more people and make more friends on such occasions" is very important to many people.

In fact, Tang Yunguo's birthday banquet arrangement is also in accordance with the Western pattern, in the huge hall, champagne and red wine are readily available, gentlemen in suits and straw shoes and ladies in various colorful evening dresses are everywhere, everyone wanders among the people, everywhere is staggered, laughter, the atmosphere is extremely warm.

The venue for Tang Yunguo's birthday party was a private villa, which was his son's property, and the villa was a three-story building, with a spacious and luxurious study on the top floor.

On the balcony, there are all kinds of precious UA grasses, the most striking is a few golden chrysanthemums, the fragrance of chrysanthemum is diffused in the air, refreshing people's hearts, intoxicating.

Sitting on the balcony "the whole villa area has a panoramic view, the biggest feature of this villa is that there is not a UA garden, next to the UA garden is a lawn, the lawn is planted with green grass, this season the green gradually fades "but there is no stubborn look, it is still very beautiful and comfortable."

At this time, the open-air tent has been set up on the lawn, the lights in the air have all been turned on, the huge villa area is all bright, and the time for the dinner is approaching.

"Secretary, every year, today is the most relaxed, the family is happy, lively, it is really a blessing to envy you."

On the balcony, a round table covered with a parasol, two people sat opposite each other at the round table, Tang Yunguo on the right, and Chen Xiao on the left. Tang Yunguo was still snuggled in his arms with a four or five-year-old girl, who was very cute.

It was Chen Xiao who spoke, with a smile on his face, his eyes looking at the place where the crowd below was most concentrated. The people who can come here are extraordinary, but in front of these two big men, they sit on a high place and look down on everything below, and all of them are so small at their feet

Tang Yunguo didn't speak, his hand held his granddaughter's hands, his ears were next to his granddaughter's lips and listened to the girl whispering to him, there was prosperity below, and Chen Xiao was sitting next to him, but in Tang Yunguo's eyes, it seemed that there was only his granddaughter in the world, and the rest of the birthday celebrations and people who patted horses, he didn't have the heart to pay attention to it at all.

I don't know how long it took, he raised his head and said, "I have a birthday every year, but every year is not as good as the year." I like to be quiet, but now you see, can it be quiet?

Next year, I will already settle down, no longer like this, the big deal is that I will go to the capital for a few days to have a meeting, and my children and grandchildren "don't have to trouble them, everything is just like nothing." "That's no need, you're already low-key! You see that there are a few relatives and friends who are here today, you are also entering old age, the elderly are afraid of loneliness, once a year, it is inappropriate to be alone! Chen Xiaodao.

Tang Yunguo shook his head, smiled and didn't say anything, but picked up the cup on the table and drank it. water, his granddaughter snatched his cup and splashed him all over the water, not only did he not get angry, but rubbed the guy's face dotingly and said, "Nier, naughty!" You got your grandfather's clothes all wet, and your grandfather is sick, who will tell you a story? ”

"Grandpa is not allowed to get sick, grandpa has to tell me stories every day!" The daughter's milk voice was quite arrogant.

Tang Yunguo laughed, and Chen Xiao also laughed and said, "Nier, your grandfather doesn't tell you stories, so let Grandpa Chen tell you stories, okay?" I'll talk about Snow White! ”

The girl wrinkled her nose and said, "Snow White is a very old-fashioned story, I don't even listen to it!" ”

Chen Xiao and Tang Yunguo laughed again, Chen Xiao sighed that the current child is amazing, and his grandson can't look down on him as an old antique, saying that he can only tell Journey to the West Monkey King, and the famous detective Ke Lan doesn't know, how can he be qualified for the role of storyteller?

The two talked and laughed, and suddenly a man in his early years came out of the study, and the man's eyebrows were vaguely similar to Tang Yunguo, and he greeted him when he entered the door: "Dad, Uncle Chen!" Then he looked at the girl and said, "You ghost, we are looking for you everywhere, it turns out that you are hiding here, didn't you see grandpa and Grandpa Chen talking about things?" ”

The man who came in was called Tang Chao, the son of Tang Yunguo, as soon as he came in, the girl hid behind her grandfather and couldn't hide.

Tang Yunguo waved his hand and said in an urn voice: "I can't even look at a skeleton, who can I blame?" Niel comes to me better than you come to me to please me. He picked up the child, squeezed her hand, and said dotingly: "In this family, my favorite is Nier, she doesn't have as many ghosts as you......"

Tang Chao's face flushed, he was very embarrassed but didn't dare to make a sound, Tang Yunguo stared at him for a few seconds, his expression eased, and said to the child in his arms: "Nier, let's go play with Dad first, and then Grandpa Ming'er will tell you a story." ”

The girl seemed to be able to feel the hidden majesty of Tang Yunguo's words, or maybe it was her grandfather who criticized her father and made him realize that he was a little scared. After Tang Yunguo said this, she obediently slipped off Tang Yunguo and came to Tang Chao's side.

Tang Chao picked up his daughter and said, "Nier, say goodbye to Grandpa and Grandpa Chen!" ”

"Goodbye grandpa, goodbye grandpa Chen!" The girl waved her hand very well-behaved, Tang Yunguo and Chen Xiao also waved to her, both of them were very kind, and Tang Yunguo's appearance was even more relieved, smiling very openly, heart.

Tang Chao said respectfully: "Dad, Uncle Chen, you talk first, I won't bother." He paused, and said expectantly, "Dad, it's only been forty minutes since I left the table......

Tang Yunguo waved his hand, Tang Chao didn't dare to speak anymore, and went out with the child in his arms. Chen Xiaodao: "Don't say it, Nier is really good, how old is she, she is sensible, that leather monkey in our family can't be compared with him at all." ”

Tang Yunguo didn't say anything, she looked at the direction of her granddaughter's disappearance with a smile on her face, and soon the smile gradually faded, and the kindness and kindness in her expression gradually disappeared, replaced by a serious face.

Chen Xiao originally wanted to say something to liven up the atmosphere, but as soon as he saw Tang Yunguo's expression change, he immediately shut up, it seemed that in a moment, the whole balcony suddenly changed, and he was happy just now, but at this moment, it was dark clouds, and the air seemed to be solidified.

"Lao Chen, if I'm not mistaken, we should have known each other for the eighteenth year this year! I remember that you and I were a group of people who studied in the provincial party school, when I was the secretary of the county party committee in Baling Mijiang County, you served as the deputy secretary of the neighboring county, at that time our two counties jointly engaged in aquatic development, your secretary Zhou was sick, you presided over the work of the county party committee, and at that time we were the first time to cooperate...... "Tang Yunguo said slowly.

Chen Xiao's face changed: "Yes, secretary!" I didn't expect you to remember these things so clearly. There are a lot of things I've forgotten. ”

Tang Yunguo snorted, exhaled often, and said, "Some things can be forgotten, and some things can be forgotten quietly!" He paused, stared at Chen Xiao for a long time, and said: "There is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, you have been with me for so many years, we have cooperated for so many years, this is fate!" But fate also comes to an end one day, so ah, Lao Chen, some things may be a last resort! ”

Chen Xiao said "Ah......", his lips moved again and again, and he almost stood up from the chair, Tang Yunguo's words shocked him too much, it was too without warning, there is no banquet in the world, what does this mean? ? ”？！！
