Chapter 400: Blue Eyes
Before Jin Lao led his descendants and grandchildren through the front yard, a group of people had already walked in at the door.
When a middle-aged man in a navy blue jacket who walked first saw Jin Lao, he hurriedly walked a few steps forward to meet him, and said:
"Elder Jin, why did you come out in person? It really killed me! ”
Seeing this middle-aged man, everyone present felt a shock in their hearts, including Fang Yang, and everyone showed a shocked look on their faces.
The middle-aged man who asked Jin Lao to personally go out to greet him was Cui Changan, one of the core conference giants in China, and not long before Yang attended the engagement ceremony of his daughter Cui Shanshan in the capital.
Anyone who follows the news knows that Cui Changan has been inspecting work in Zhejiang Province, which is adjacent to the southeast, in the past two days. No one expected that he would personally rush to the southeast province to congratulate Jin Lao on his birthday, what a courtesy!
This also shows how heavy the weight of Jin Lao in the minds of the central leading comrades.
Jin Lao said with a smile:
"Comrade Chang'an, your schedule is so tight, there is really no need to run in person!"
Cui Changan held Jin Lao's hand tightly and said with a smile:
"Elder Jin, your ninetieth birthday, even if we are busy, we have to come over to congratulate you! It just so happened that I was inspecting Zhejiang Province in the past two days, so the comrades unanimously recommended me to come to pay respects to the old Jin on behalf of the central government! ”
After speaking, Cui Changan said with a smile:
"But we don't dare to forget the instructions of Elder Jin, this time I came here and I was also a light car, and I didn't alarm the local comrades, I was afraid that the people would lose money!"
Fang Yang was convinced of this, because he saw Qiu Donghua, who was also present, with a stunned face. If Cui Changan's trip was planned, it would be impossible for the Southeast Province to be so lazy, and it would be impossible for him to send only one secretary of the Political and Legal Committee to attend.
As the secretary of the provincial party committee, Fang Hongda must have personally greeted and accompanied him at the exit of the expressway.
When Jin Lao heard this, Lao Huai said with great relief:
"That's good, that's good! To be honest, I have concerns about holding a birthday banquet this time, because I am afraid that the comrades will delay their work and bring pressure to the local comrades! At the same time, I am worried about unnecessary extravagance and waste! ”
Cui Changan smiled and nodded and said:
"Jin Lao is far away from the rivers and lakes and does not forget the state affairs, Chang'an is very moved!"
Jin Lao laughed and said:
"Comrade Chang'an, go and sit inside! Have a cup of tea with my old man and chat! ”
"Jin Lao, please!"
Cui Changan stretched out his hand and made an inviting gesture, half a position behind Jin Lao, and walked towards the middle hall together.
The group took Jin Lao and Cui Changan as the core, and everyone greeted each other respectfully when they walked through the front yard, and the two also nodded with a smile. When passing by Qiu Donghua's side, Cui Changan stopped and said to him with a smile:
"Comrade Donghua, I came uninvited this time, so there is no need to alarm Comrade Hongda. After the birthday banquet, I will continue my inspection trip in Zhejiang Province. ”
Qiu Donghua nodded and said:
"I see. However, chief, our comrades in the southeast province also hope to listen to your instructions, and since we have already arrived in the southeast, it is better to ......"
This is also the proper meaning of the question, one of the core conference giants came to the southeast, Qiu Donghua represents the southeast provincial party committee at the moment, and the necessary attitude is still necessary.
Cui Changan waved his hand and said:
"Comrade Donghua, how can I have so many instructions to do? This time I came to congratulate Jin Lao on his birthday, and I still don't want to point fingers at the work of Southeast Province. ”
Cui Changan said everything about this, Qiu Donghua naturally didn't want to persuade again, so he nodded respectfully and said:
"Okay, chief!"
Cui Changan nodded and continued to move forward.
The young masters and ladies of the family in the front yard were all silent, with respectful expressions on their faces. In front of Cui Changan, their fathers have to be respectful, let alone their juniors?
Cui Changan naturally wouldn't stay in the front yard with the juniors, and the position in the middle of the front of the hall was where he stayed. The children of the family all looked at Cui Changan, hoping that he would hurry up and walk over, and feel uncomfortable in the same courtyard with such a giant.
But after Cui Changan took a few steps, he stopped again.
In everyone's surprised eyes, Cui Changan smiled and beckoned to Fang.
Fang Yangleng paused for a moment, then reacted, hurriedly walked to Cui Changan, bowed slightly and said:
"Hello, Chief!"
Cui Changan laughed and said:
"Xiao Fang, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon! Shanshan is very impressed with your special gift! I have said several times that I want to invite you to my home, thank you so much! ”
Cui Changan said naturally that at the engagement banquet that day, Fang Yang improvised a song "Dream Wedding", and the amazing performance at that time shocked the audience, and even the former No. 1 chief Ju Chongshan also praised Fang Yang, and Cui Shanshan was even more moved to tears on the spot.
Most of the children of the family present today, including Fan Zihong, did not attend Cui Shanshan's engagement banquet, so Cui Changan's words were tantamount to a bombshell, and everyone set off huge waves in their hearts.
Zhou Mingli's eyes when he looked at Fang Yang immediately became shocked, frightened, and extremely complicated.
Fang Yang didn't expect Cui Changan to suddenly mention the events of that night, he smiled a little embarrassedly and replied:
"Chief, I was a class man who got an axe that day, and I was lucky that I didn't spoil everyone's interest, and I deserve your praise!"
"Haha, the lad is too modest! Even the piano poet Xiao Qin is willing to bow down, if even you are an axe, then no one in China will dare to talk about the piano! ”
Cui Changan seems to be in a good mood, and Fang Yang is also not hesitant to praise. After finishing speaking, Cui Changan said to Jin Lao, who was looking at Fang Yang with interest on the side:
"Elder Jin, let me introduce you, this young man's name is Fang Yang, and he is the grandson of Comrade Long March."
"Oh?" Jin Lao raised his eyebrows, looked at Fang Yang carefully, and then said with a smile, "Don't you say that I haven't paid attention yet, the young man's eyebrows are really a little similar to Comrade Long March!" ”
Fang Yang hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down and said:
"Hello Jin Lao! The boy congratulates you on your birthday, and I wish you the happiness of the old man like the long flowing water of the East China Sea, and the longevity of the Nanshan Immortal Pine! ”
Elder Jin stroked his beard and laughed, nodded and said:
"Thank you, boy! Your grandfather and I have been old comrades-in-arms for many years, how is he doing lately? ”
"Thank you Jin Lao for your concern." Fang Yang bowed again and said, "Grandpa, his old man is still the same, although his condition has not continued to deteriorate, but there is no trend of improvement......
Jin Lao sighed and said:
"Lao Han was seriously injured on the battlefield when he was young, although he picked up a life, but he fell ill, it is estimated that this time he suddenly fell ill, this is the reason."
"Birth, old age, sickness and death are natural laws, and Jin Lao doesn't have to feel too much......" Fang Yang said on the side.
"That's right! Lao Han also lived ** ten years old, what else is there to regret? How many comrades-in-arms didn't even see the liberation of the whole country back then! Speaking of which, Lao Han and I have already made a fortune! Jin Lao smiled freely and said, "Xiao Fang! I can't imagine that you can see more thoroughly than the old man, it's not easy! ”
Cui Changan said with a smile on the side:
"Jin Lao, Xiao Fang is still a talent! He is a personal disciple of Master Bai Yan, it is said that the level of calligraphy and painting is extremely high, and even Master Bai Yan has personally said that Xiao Fang is the closest disciple to him in style! ”
"Really?" Jin Lao was quite surprised.
"Jin Lao, I haven't seen Xiao Fang's calligraphy and painting level with my own eyes, but I have already seen his piano attainments, which is amazing!"
Cui Changan then briefly described Fang Yang's expression that day, especially Ju Chongshan's comments on Fang Yang, and said it word for word.
After hearing this, the curious look in Jin Lao's eyes couldn't be rich.
And Fang Yang felt a little embarrassed to be so praised by a core conference giant in front of everyone, he said:
"Elder Jin, Uncle Cui is killing me! How can I be as good as he says! ”
When talking to Jin Lao, Fang Yang naturally couldn't call Cui Changan "chief", so he changed his words, and his words were a little more casual than just now, with a hint of joke, neither restrained nor frivolous, just right.
In his previous life, Fang Yang was very proficient in this way, so now he is naturally familiar with it and is familiar with it.
What's more, from Old Man Han's side, it is understandable for Fang Yang to call Cui Changan an an uncle.
"Xiao Fang, I still know Comrade Chang'an!" Jin Lao laughed and said, "His biggest advantage is to seek truth from facts and never exaggerate, so you don't have to be too modest!" ”
After speaking, Jin Lao looked at Fang Yang and said:
"Even Master Bai Yan has spoken highly of you, I believe that your calligraphy and painting attainments will not disappoint me! Today, old man, I have a birthday, I want to ask you for a word, this request is not too much! ”
Cui Changan stroked his palms on the side and smiled:
"Jin Lao, this is a good idea, I have always wanted to see Xiao Fang's calligraphy and painting skills on the spot!"
Fang Yang hurriedly said:
"The elder has a life, how dare the kid disobey? As long as Jin Lao doesn't dislike it, I will do my best! ”
"Then it's decided! When the birthday feast officially begins, I'll call someone to come and invite you! Jin Lao laughed and said, "Comrade Chang'an, let's go sit inside!" Don't bother the kids! ”
"Okay, Jin Lao, please first!"
Cui Changan nodded amicably to Fang Yang, and then left the front yard with Jin Lao and walked into the middle hall.
After Jin Lao and the others left, the front yard did not get angry because of this, and it was still dead. Everyone looked at Fang Yang with an incredible look.
During this period of time, everyone had heard Fang Yang's name more than once. But it is better to be famous than to meet, and today they witnessed Fang Yang's magic for the first time. Even characters like Cui Changan were kind and pleasant, and they praised a lot in their words, and Jin Lao even asked Fang Yang for words in person!
What a glory is this?
At this time, when everyone looked at Zhou Mingli again, there was a little more banter in their eyes. Zhou Mingli was still old-fashioned and unashamedly pointed out how important Fang Yang's connections were, and the implication was that Fang Yang's social circle was too narrow and he was not a qualified child of a family.
In the blink of an eye, Fang Yang used reality to hit back at Zhou Mingli fiercely, and unceremoniously showed what he didn't say just now:
The ones you are talking about are at most friends with wine and meat, and we are called connections!
